Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] As introduced in the background technology, there are deficiencies in the prior art. In order to solve the above technical problems, the present application proposes a thermoplastic butt welding device.

[0032] In a typical implementation of the present application, Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, a thermoplastic butt heat welding device comprises a body 1, a welding mechanism 2 arranged on the body 1, and an auxiliary mechanism 3 arranged on the body 1, wherein the welding mechanism 2 comprises a lower mold 21 and an upper mold 28, wherein the lower mold 21 is fixedly mounted on the body 1, and the upper mold 28 is movably arranged on the body 1, wherein the lower mold 21 is located directly below the upper mold 28, and the lower mold 21 is matched with the upper mold 28, so that the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21 respectively carry thermoplastic parts against each other for welding;

[0033] The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a positioning bottom plate 34 and a positioning top plate 36. The positioning bottom plate 34 is movably provided on the machine body 1. The two positioning bottom plates 34 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower mold 21. The positioning top plates 36 are movably provided on the machine body 1. The two positioning top plates 36 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower mold 21. The positioning top plates 36 are adjacent to the positioning bottom plate 34. The positioning bottom plate 34 is located between the lower mold 21 and the positioning top plates 36.

[0034] After the lower mold 21 and the upper mold 28 carry the thermoplastic part to abut against each other, the positioning bottom plate 34 is lifted to abut against the bottom end of the thermoplastic part and limit the side of the thermoplastic part. The positioning top plate 36 is rotated to abut against the top end of the thermoplastic part, so that the positioning bottom plate 34 and the positioning top plate 36 control the fixed distance between the top and bottom ends of the thermoplastic part.

[0035] When using the present invention:

[0036] The thermoplastic parts to be welded are placed in the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21 respectively, and the heat welding equipment is started. The upper mold 28 carries the thermoplastic parts and abuts against the lower mold 21. After the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21 carry the thermoplastic parts and abut against each other, the positioning bottom plate 34 is lifted, so that the positioning bottom plate 34 abuts against the bottom end of the thermoplastic parts from the bottom end, and the positioning bottom plate 34 simultaneously limits the side of the thermoplastic parts. At the same time, the positioning top plate 36 rotates, so that the positioning top plate 36 rotates to the top end of the thermoplastic parts, so that the positioning top plate 36 abuts against the top end of the thermoplastic parts, so that the positioning top plate 36 and the positioning bottom plate 34 fix and limit the thermoplastic parts, and the distance between the positioning top plate 36 and the positioning bottom plate 34 is used to control the thermoplastic parts. The distance between the top and bottom of the thermoplastic part, that is, the relative distance between the upper thermoplastic part and the lower thermoplastic part is controlled, so as to use the distance control from the top to the bottom of the thermoplastic part to limit the relative position between the upper thermoplastic part and the lower thermoplastic part, and thereby achieve the control of the relative parallelism between the upper thermoplastic part and the lower thermoplastic part, so that when the thermoplastic part continues to be welded, regardless of whether the entire thermoplastic part is tilted, the upper thermoplastic part is relatively parallel to the lower thermoplastic part, thereby ensuring the flatness of the entire thermoplastic part after welding the thermoplastic parts, thereby preventing the thermoplastic parts from tilting relative to each other during heat welding, improving the quality of heat welding, improving the qualified rate of product production, and reducing production costs.

The elastic force of the springs 29 is greater than the gravity of the upper mold 28, so that when the upper mold 28 carries the thermoplastic part, the combined gravity of the upper mold 28 and the thermoplastic part cannot cause the springs 29 to deform.

[0040] Furthermore, a positioning slot rod 210 is fixedly installed in the body 1, and the positioning slot rod 210 is adjacent to the lower mold 21.

[0041] Among them, before the welding process, the thermoplastic parts are respectively placed in the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21, and the stepper motor 25 is started. The stepper motor 25 drives the first gear 24 to rotate, and the first gear 24 drives the first rack 23 to move on the positioning ring 22. The first rack 23 drives the connecting frame 26 to move, and the connecting frame 26 drives the telescopic rod 27 to move, and the telescopic rod 27 drives the upper mold 28 to move, so that the upper mold 28 carries the thermoplastic parts against the lower mold 21, and after the collision, the reaction force generated by the upper mold 28 compresses the spring 29 to shrink. At the same time, with the movement of the connecting frame 26, the connecting frame 26 drives the positioning rod 211 to move, and the positioning rod 211 is inserted into the positioning slot rod 210, so as to use the positioning rod 211 to determine whether the movement of the lower mold 21 is offset.

[0042] Furthermore, a second rack 212 is fixedly installed in the machine body 1, and the second rack 212 is adjacent to the welding position between the lower mold 21 and the upper mold 28. The second rack 212 is located between the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21. A servo motor 213 is slidably fitted on the second rack 212, and a second gear 214 is fixedly installed on the shaft of the servo motor 213. The second gear 214 is meshed with the second rack 212. A welding arm 215 is fixedly installed on the servo motor 213. The welding arm 215 is a multi-section rotatable structure. After the welding arm 215 is abutted against the thermoplastic part, the two ends of the welding arm 215 are respectively against the two sides of the thermoplastic part for welding.

[0043] Furthermore, the welding arm 215 is a combination structure of a robot arm and a welding head. The welding arm 215 is used to perform welding processing on thermoplastic parts. The welding arm 215 is an existing structure and will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Among them, after the operation of the auxiliary mechanism 3 is completed, the servo motor 213 is started, the servo motor 213 drives the second gear 214 to rotate, so that the second gear 214 moves on the second rack 212, the second gear 214 drives the servo motor 213 to move, and the servo motor 213 drives the welding arm 215 to move, so that the welding arm 215 is attached to the thermoplastic part, so that the welding arm 215 can be used to weld the thermoplastic part.

[0045] Furthermore, the auxiliary mechanism 3 also includes a trigger member 31, the trigger member 31 is fixedly installed on the positioning rod 211, and the detection member 32 is fixedly installed on the positioning slot rod 210. The trigger member 31 is located directly above the detection member 32. When the positioning rod 211 and the positioning slot rod 210 are abutted, the trigger member 31 and the detection member 32 are abutted, so that the trigger member 31 triggers the detection member 32 to generate a control signal.

[0046] Furthermore, a plurality of electrically-controlled telescopic rods 33 are fixedly installed in the machine body 1, and the electrically-controlled telescopic rods 33 all penetrate the wall of the machine body 1, and are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower mold 21, and are located directly below the positioning base plate 34, and are fixedly connected to the positioning base plate 34; a plurality of swivel arm cylinders 35 are fixedly installed in the machine body 1, and the swivel arm cylinders 35 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the lower mold 21, and each swivel arm cylinder 35 is dynamically connected to each positioning top plate 36, and the detection component 32 is signal-connected to the electrically-controlled telescopic rod 33, and the detection component 32 is signal-connected to the swivel arm cylinder 35.

[0047] Among them, as the positioning groove rod 210 and the positioning plug rod 211 are abutted, the trigger member 31 moves with the positioning plug rod 211 and abuts against the detection member 32. The detection member 32 detects the contact with the trigger member 31, thereby generating a signal to control the electric control telescopic rod 33 and the rotating arm cylinder 35 to start. The electric control telescopic rod 33 drives the positioning base plate 34 to move, so that the positioning base plate 34 abuts against the bottom end of the thermoplastic part and limits the side of the thermoplastic part. The rotating arm cylinder 35 drives the positioning top plate 36 to rotate, so that the positioning top plate 36 abuts against the top of the thermoplastic part, thereby using the positioning top plate 36 and the positioning base plate 34 to control the relative positions of the upper and lower thermoplastic parts.

[0048] Furthermore, one side of the positioning top plate 36 is rotatably engaged with a screw rod 37, and a ball nut 38 is sleeved on the screw rod 37.

The infrared detector 39 on one side generates an infrared detection line, and the infrared detector 39 on the other side receives the infrared detection line.

[0049] Among them, as the positioning top plate 36 rotates, the positioning top plate 36 drives the screw 37 to rotate, the screw 37 drives the ball nut 38 to rotate, and the ball nut 38 drives the infrared detector 39 to rotate, so that the infrared detector 39 turns to face the thermoplastic part, so that the infrared detector 39 detects the distance between the infrared detector 39 and the positioning top plate 36 and the top of the thermoplastic part, thereby assisting in judging whether the relative heights of the two sides of the thermoplastic part are consistent.

[0050] Working principle:

[0051] The thermoplastic parts to be welded are placed in the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21 respectively, and the heat welding equipment is started. The upper mold 28 carries the thermoplastic parts and abuts against the lower mold 21. After the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21 carry the thermoplastic parts, the positioning bottom plate 34 is lifted, so that the positioning bottom plate 34 abuts against the bottom end of the thermoplastic parts from the bottom end, and the positioning bottom plate 34 simultaneously limits the side of the thermoplastic parts. At the same time, the positioning top plate 36 rotates, so that the positioning top plate 36 rotates to the top end of the thermoplastic parts, so that the positioning top plate 36 abuts against the top end of the thermoplastic parts, so that the positioning top plate 36 and the positioning bottom plate 34 fix and limit the thermoplastic parts. The distance between the positioning top plate 36 and the positioning bottom plate 34 is used to control the distance between the top and bottom of the thermoplastic part, that is, to control the relative distance between the upper thermoplastic part and the lower thermoplastic part, so as to limit the relative position between the upper thermoplastic part and the lower thermoplastic part by controlling the distance between the top and bottom of the thermoplastic part, and thereby achieve the control of the relative parallelism between the upper thermoplastic part and the lower thermoplastic part, so that when the thermoplastic part continues to be welded, regardless of whether the entire thermoplastic part is tilted, the upper thermoplastic part is relatively parallel to the lower thermoplastic part, thereby ensuring the flatness of the entire thermoplastic part after welding.

[0052] Before welding, the thermoplastic parts are placed in the upper mold 28 and the lower mold 21 respectively, and the stepper motor 25 is started. The stepper motor 25 drives the first gear 24 to rotate, and the first gear 24 drives the first rack 23 to move on the positioning ring 22. The first rack 23 drives the connecting frame 26 to move, and the connecting frame 26 drives the telescopic rod 27 to move, and the telescopic rod 27 drives the upper mold 28 to move, so that the upper mold 28 carries the thermoplastic parts against the lower mold 21, and after the contact, the reaction force generated by the upper mold 28 compresses the spring 29 to shrink. At the same time, with the movement of the connecting frame 26, the connecting frame 26 drives the positioning rod 211 to move, and the positioning rod 211 is inserted into the positioning slot rod 210, so as to use the positioning rod 211 to determine whether the movement of the lower mold 21 is offset;

[0053] After the auxiliary mechanism 3 is finished running, the servo motor 213 is started, the servo motor 213 drives the second gear 214 to rotate, so that the second gear 214 moves on the second rack 212, the second gear 214 drives the servo motor 213 to move, and the servo motor 213 drives the welding arm 215 to move, so that the welding arm 215 is close to the thermoplastic part, so that the thermoplastic part is welded by the welding arm 215;

[0054] As the positioning slot rod 210 abuts against the positioning plug rod 211, the trigger member 31 moves with the positioning plug rod 211 and abuts against the detection member 32. The detection member 32 detects the contact with the trigger member 31, thereby generating a signal to control the electric control telescopic rod 33 and the rotating arm cylinder 35 to start. The electric control telescopic rod 33 drives the positioning bottom plate 34 to move, so that the positioning bottom plate 34 abuts against the bottom end of the thermoplastic part and limits the side of the thermoplastic part. The rotating arm cylinder 35 drives the positioning top plate 36 to rotate, so that the positioning top plate 36 abuts against the top end of the thermoplastic part, thereby using the positioning top plate 36 and the positioning bottom plate 34 to control the relative positions of the upper and lower thermoplastic parts.

[0055] As the positioning top plate 36 rotates, the positioning top plate 36 drives the screw 37 to rotate, the screw 37 drives the ball nut 38 to rotate, and the ball nut 38 drives the infrared detector 39 to rotate, so that the infrared detector 39 turns to face the thermoplastic part, so that the infrared detector 39 detects the distance between the infrared detector 39 and the positioning top plate 36 and the top of the thermoplastic part, thereby assisting in determining whether the relative heights of the two sides of the thermoplastic part are consistent.
