[0002] Plasma welding equipment is an efficient welding tool that uses a high-temperature, high-energy-density plasma arc as a heat source. Its core principle is to form plasma through ionized gas to achieve precise fusion of metal materials. When existing plasma welding equipment is used to weld a workpiece, it is necessary to first clamp and fix the workpiece to be welded through a clamping mechanism, and then weld the workpiece through a plasma welding gun. After welding is completed, the welded workpiece is removed. When the workpiece is clamped and unloaded, the plasma welding gun is in a standby state, thereby reducing the operating time and welding efficiency of the welding equipment; on the other hand, when the clamping mechanism is clamping the workpiece, in order to ensure the stability of the workpiece clamping and welding, the workpiece needs to be stably supported by a supporting plane, which makes it inconvenient to place and unload the workpiece, especially for heavy workpieces such as automobile load-bearing components.

When welding the automobile load-bearing component, the automobile load-bearing component to be welded is first placed on the pushing support rod 31 above the jig plate 21 at the loading and unloading station, and the automobile load-bearing component is suspended in the air by multiple pushing support rods 31, and then the turntable 11 is driven to rotate by the rotating drive assembly, so that the turntable 11 drives the jig plate 21 to rotate and move, and at this time, the lifting drive assembly drives multiple pushing support rods 31 to move downward synchronously, so that the pushing support rods 31 move downward and shrink inside the jig plate 21, thereby stably placing the automobile load-bearing component on the top surface of the jig plate 21, and then the clamping drive assembly drives the clamping assembly to close to clamp and fix the automobile load-bearing component until the turntable 11 rotates 180 degrees, and the jig plate 21 and the automobile load-bearing component are transported to the welding station.

[0026] Furthermore, a partition 12 that can separate multiple clamping mechanisms 2 from each other is fixedly installed on the top surface of the turntable 11. The partition 12 separates the clamping mechanisms 2 on the welding station and the loading and unloading stations, which can prevent sparks generated during welding at the welding station from splashing to the loading and unloading stations, thereby improving the safety during loading and unloading.

[0027] Embodiment 3 See also Figure 1 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the plasma welding gun assembly 4 includes a welding robot arm 41, and a plasma welding gun 42 is installed at the end of the welding robot arm 41. The plasma welding gun 42 is driven by the welding robot arm 41 to move for welding, which improves the freedom of movement of the plasma welding gun 42 and facilitates welding of irregular welds.

[0028] Embodiment 4 See also Figures 1-4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the above embodiment is that the clamping assembly includes a longitudinal slide groove 27 and a transverse slide groove 28, and the longitudinal slide groove 27 and the transverse slide groove 28 are staggered and arranged on the top surface of the fixture plate 21, and longitudinal sliders 210 are slidably installed at both ends of the longitudinal slide groove 27, and the top of the longitudinal slider 210 is fixedly installed with a longitudinal clamping plate 22 located above the fixture plate 21, and transverse sliders 211 are slidably installed at both ends of the transverse slide groove 28, and the top of the transverse slider 211 is fixedly installed with a transverse clamping plate 23 located above the fixture plate 21; The clamping drive assembly includes a longitudinal screw rod 24, two transverse screw rods 29 and a transmission unit. The longitudinal screw rod 24 is rotatably installed inside the longitudinal slide groove 27. The two ends of the longitudinal screw rod 24 are provided with external threads in opposite directions. The longitudinal screw rod 24 is threadedly connected to the longitudinal sliders 210 at the two ends of the longitudinal slide groove 27 through the external threads at the two ends. The two transverse screw rods 29 are rotatably installed at the two ends of the transverse slide groove 28, and the two transverse screw rods 29 are threadedly connected with the corresponding transverse slider 211 through external threads. A transmission bevel gear 212 is fixedly installed on the longitudinal screw rod 24, and a driven bevel gear 213 meshing and transmission-connected with the transmission bevel gear 212 is fixedly installed on the two transverse screw rods 29; the transmission unit can drive the longitudinal screw rod 24 to rotate when the jig plate 21 moves toward the plasma welding gun assembly 4, so that the longitudinal screw rod 24 and the transverse screw rod 29 drive the longitudinal clamping plate 22 and the transverse clamping plate 23 to move closer, and can also drive the longitudinal screw rod 24 to rotate in the opposite direction when the jig plate 21 moves away from the plasma welding gun assembly 4, so that the longitudinal screw rod 24 and the transverse screw rod 29 drive the longitudinal clamping plate 22 and the transverse clamping plate 23 to move and open; The transmission unit includes a gear 25 and an arc-shaped rack 26. The gear 25 is fixedly mounted on the outer end of the longitudinal screw rod 24. The arc-shaped rack 26 is fixedly mounted on the outer ring of the top surface of the welding workbench 1. The arc-shaped rack 26 can be meshed and connected with the gear 25 when the gear 25 moves past. When the turntable 11 rotates and drives the jig plate 21 and the automobile load-bearing component to move toward the welding station, it will drive the gear 25 to move through the arc rack 26 position. At this time, the gear 25 rotates under the meshing transmission of the arc rack 26, so that the gear 25 drives the longitudinal screw rod 24 to rotate. When the longitudinal screw rod 24 rotates, it drives the longitudinal sliders 210 at both ends to move toward each other along the longitudinal slide groove 27 through thread transmission, thereby driving the two longitudinal clamping plates 22 on the jig plate 21 to move toward each other.

When the welding is completed, the turntable 11 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the jig plate 21 and the automobile load-bearing components to move to the upper and lower material loading stations, and the gear 25 is driven to move in the opposite direction to pass the arc rack 26. At this time, the gear 25 rotates in the opposite direction under the meshing transmission of the arc rack 26, so that the gear 25 drives the longitudinal screw rod 24 to rotate in the opposite direction. When the longitudinal screw rod 24 rotates in the opposite direction, the longitudinal sliders 210 at both ends are driven to move in the opposite direction along the longitudinal slide groove 27 to open, thereby driving the two longitudinal clamping plates 22 on the jig plate 21 to move in the opposite direction and open. At the same time, the longitudinal screw rod 24 drives the transverse screw rods 29 on both sides to rotate in the opposite direction through the meshing transmission between the transmission bevel gear 212 and the driven bevel gear 213, so that the two transverse screw rods 29 drive the two transverse sliders 211 to move in the opposite direction along the transverse slide groove 28 to open, thereby driving the two transverse clamping plates 23 to move in the opposite direction and open, thereby causing the longitudinal clamping plates 22 and the transverse clamping plates 23 to relax the clamping positioning of the automobile load-bearing components on the top surface of the jig plate 21. Through the transmission cooperation among the gear 25, the arc-shaped rack 26, the longitudinal screw 24 and the transverse screw 29, when the jig plate 21 drives the automobile load-bearing component to move to the welding station, the clamping plate is automatically driven to clamp and fix the automobile load-bearing component, without the need to clamp and fix the automobile load-bearing component through other driving sources or manually drive the clamping plate. At the same time, when the jig plate 21 drives the automobile load-bearing component to move to the upper and lower loading and unloading stations, the clamping plate is automatically driven to loosen the clamping and fixing of the automobile load-bearing component, making the clamping, positioning and loosening process of the automobile load-bearing component more convenient and quick, which is beneficial to improving the clamping and loading and unloading efficiency of the clamping mechanism 2. The clamping plate is driven by the screw to move and clamp, and since the screw has a self-locking property, the firmness of the clamping plate to the automobile load-bearing component can be improved.

The support seat 38 is fixedly mounted at one end of the interior of the welding workbench 1 away from the plasma welding gun assembly 4. A lower guide wedge 37 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support seat 38. The ends of the upper guide wedge 36 and the lower guide wedge 37 are provided with guide inclined surfaces 39 that can slide and abut against each other. Among them, when the jig plate 21 is located at the loading and unloading station, the lower guide wedge block 37 abuts against the bottom surface of the upper guide wedge block 36. At this time, the upper guide wedge block 36 pushes the push shaft 35, the lifting slide plate 34 and the push support rod 31 upward, so that the push support rod 31 extends to the top of the jig plate 21, so that the automobile load-bearing component on the jig plate 21 is in a supported suspended state. When the turntable 11 drives the jig plate 21 to move toward the welding station, the turntable 11 drives the push shaft 35 and the upper guide wedge block 36 to move synchronously, so that the upper guide wedge block 36 and the lower guide wedge block 37 are gradually staggered. At this time, the lifting slide plate 34 drives the push support rod 31 to shrink downward and hide in the through hole 32, so that the automobile load-bearing component The parts can be placed stably on the top surface of the jig plate 21, thereby improving the stability of the automobile load-bearing components during clamping and welding; and when the welding of the automobile load-bearing components is completed and the turntable 11 drives the jig plate 21 to move to the loading and unloading station, the upper guide wedge 36 moves again to the lower guide wedge 37. At this time, the lower guide wedge 37 pushes the upper guide wedge 36 upward through the guide inclined surface 39, so that the upper guide wedge 36 resets the pushing shaft 35, the lifting slide plate 34 and the pushing support rod 31 upward, so that the pushing support rod 31 pushes and lifts the automobile load-bearing components on the top surface of the jig plate 21 upward, so that the automobile load-bearing components are in a suspended state, thereby facilitating the staff to remove the welded automobile load-bearing components.
