DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-8 A welding positioning device for a structural support comprises a table top 1 and a plurality of movable bases 3 arranged on the table top 1. Both ends of the table top 1 are provided with slide grooves 2. The movable bases 3 are slidably engaged in the slide grooves 2. A turntable 8 is rotatably mounted on the movable base 3. A support rod 4 is slidably arranged on the turntable 8. One end of the support rod 4 is fixedly connected to a support plate 5. The support plate 5 is connected to two arc-shaped clamping blocks 6 arranged up and down by an elastic mechanism. The arc-shaped clamping blocks 6 are used to clamp the structural support.

[0031] A pushing mechanism is provided on the turntable 8, and the pushing mechanism includes two gear shafts 10, and the support rod 4 is meshed and arranged between the two gear shafts 10, and one of the gear shafts 10 is rotated by the pushing motor 24;

[0032] The movable base 3 is provided with a rotating mechanism, which includes an internal gear 9. A gear block 23 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the turntable 8. The gear block 23 meshes with the inner wall of the internal gear 9. The rotating mechanism is used to drive the turntable 8 to rotate.

[0033] The elastic mechanism includes a first rotating rod 11 and a second rotating rod 12 that are rotatably connected together. The end of the second rotating rod 12 away from the first rotating rod 11 is rotatably connected to the support plate 5. The end of the first rotating rod 11 away from the second rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the arc-shaped clamping block 6. A first spring 13 is connected between the first rotating rod 11 and the support plate 5, and a second spring 14 is connected between the first rotating rod 11 and the arc-shaped clamping block 6. When the multiple arc-shaped clamping blocks 6 are used to position and clamp the structural support, the first spring 13 and the second spring 14 are both elastic. Under the action of the elasticity, the arc-shaped clamping blocks 6 can be abutted against the side of the support. The multiple arc-shaped clamping blocks 6 cooperate with each other to effectively fix the support and then perform welding operations.

[0034] A groove 17 is provided on the back of the arc-shaped clamping block 6. The first rotating rod 11 is rotatably mounted in the groove 17. A protrusion 18 is provided on the first rotating rod 11. The two ends of the second spring 14 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 17 and the protrusion 18, respectively. A connecting shaft 15 is rotatably mounted on the first rotating rod 11 and the support plate 5. The two ends of the first spring 13 are fixedly connected to a sleeve block 16. The two sleeve blocks 16 are rotatably mounted on the two connecting shafts 15, and a first spring 13 is mounted on each side of the first rotating rod 11. The second spring 14 is connected between the first rotating rod 11 and the arc-shaped clamping block 6 via the protrusion 18. The first spring 13 is connected between the first rotating rod 11 and the support plate 5 via the sleeve block 16 and the connecting shaft 15. The sleeve block 16 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 15. When the angle between the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12 changes, the angle can be adaptively adjusted to facilitate clamping.

[0035] The support rod 4 is provided with tooth grooves 27 on both sides, and the gear shaft 10 is engaged with the tooth grooves 27. The push motor 24 is fixedly mounted on the turntable 8. The driving end of the turntable 8 is fixedly connected to the first cam 25, and the upper end of one of the gear shafts 10 is fixedly connected to the second cam 20. A linkage shaft 19 is connected between the second cam 20 and the first cam 25. The push motor 24 can drive the first cam 25 to rotate through the driving end. As the first cam 25 rotates, the second cam 20 can be pulled through the linkage shaft 19. Under the pulling action of the linkage shaft 19, the second cam 20 will rotate, and then the second cam 20 drives the gear shaft 10 to rotate. As the gear shaft 10 rotates, the support rod 4 can be pushed to move, thereby changing the position of the support plate 5 and the arc-shaped block 6, and the arc-shaped block 6 can be moved close to the structural support.

[0036] One end of the linkage shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the end of the connecting shaft 15 away from the driving end of the push motor 24, and the other end of the linkage shaft 19 is rotatably connected to the end of the second cam shaft 20 away from the gear shaft 10. The lower end of the support plate 5 slides on the surface of the table 1, and the length of the second cam shaft 20 is the same as the length of the first cam shaft 25. The two ends of the second cam shaft 20 are respectively connected to the linkage shaft 19 and the gear shaft 10, and the two ends of the first cam shaft 25 are respectively connected to the linkage shaft 19 and the push motor 24. Therefore, when the first cam shaft 25 deflects, the second cam shaft 20 can be pulled to deflect through the linkage shaft 19, and then the rotation of the driving end of the push motor 24 is transmitted to the gear shaft 10, causing the gear shaft 10 to rotate.

[0037] The turntable 8 is pivotally mounted on the movable base 3 via a rotating shaft 26 at one end, and the gear block 23 is fixedly connected to the other end of the turntable 8 at a position below the other end. The turntable 8 is pivotally mounted on the movable base 3 via the rotating shaft 26. The gear block 23 is positioned on the side of the turntable 8 away from the center of rotation. When the internal gear 9 rotates, the relative position of the gear block 23 is changed, thereby changing the orientation angle of the turntable 8.

[0038] The rotation mechanism also includes a driven gear 21 and a driving gear 22. The driven gear 21 is rotatably mounted on the mobile base 3, and the mobile base 3 meshes with the inner wall of the internal gear 9. The driving gear 22 meshes with the driven gear 21. A rotating motor is provided within the mobile base 3, and the driving end of the rotating motor is fixedly connected to the driving gear 22. The rotating motor drives the driving gear 22 to rotate through the driving end, and the driving gear 22 meshes with the driven gear 21 to drive it to rotate. The rotation of the driven gear 21 drives the internal gear 9 to rotate, and then as the internal gear 9 rotates, the position of the gear block 23 is changed, thereby achieving the rotation effect of the turntable 8.

[0039] An arc-shaped shaft 7 is also fixedly mounted on the movable base 3 , and an internal gear 9 is rotatably mounted inside the arc-shaped shaft 7 , and the arc-shaped shaft 7 limits the position of the internal gear 9 .

[0040] The lower end of the mobile base 3 is slidably mounted within the chute 2. A slot 28 is formed on the inner wall of the chute 2. A plurality of threaded shafts 29 are inserted into the lower end of the mobile base 3. Both ends of the threaded shafts 29 pass through the slots 28, and nuts 30 are threadedly mounted on both ends of the threaded shafts 29. The nuts 30 tighten the threaded shafts 29, thereby securing the position of the mobile base 3 on the chute 2. The position of the mobile base 3 is adjusted according to the shape of the structural support to facilitate its clamping and securing.

[0041] When positioning the structural support, the structural support is placed at an angle that is convenient for welding according to the position where welding is required. A corresponding number of movable bases 3 are used according to the angle of the structural support. Each arc-shaped block 6 is abutted against the edge of the structural support to achieve the function of limiting its position. Three points can determine a plane, so at least three movable bases 3 are used to limit the structural support to any plane. The angle of the structural support can be adjusted arbitrarily, so as to fully meet the needs of welding. The positioning device can be adjusted to an angle that is convenient for welding.

[0042] Each support plate 5 is connected to two arc-shaped blocks 6 through an elastic mechanism. The arc-shaped blocks 6 are in contact with the surface of the steel pipe of the structural support. The arc-shaped blocks 6 are rotatably connected to the first rotating rod 11. The elastic force of the second spring 14 makes it fit tightly with the surface of the steel pipe. The two arc-shaped blocks 6 are simultaneously attached to the same section of steel pipe, which is more stable and effective when supporting. The elastic force of the first spring 13 can be used to open the first rotating rod 11 and the second rotating rod 12, adaptively making the arc-shaped blocks 6 fit well with the surface of the steel pipe. The elastic mechanism and the arc-shaped blocks 6 on both sides and the support plate 5 are all movably connected. The movable connection ensures that when clamping and positioning are performed, it can effectively adapt to different angle environments and better fit the unconventional structural shape of the structural support.

[0043] The support plate 5 is moved close to the structural support through the pushing mechanism, and the pushing motor 24 drives the first cam 25 to rotate through the driving end. The rotation of the first cam 25 drives the linkage shaft 19 to deflect. When the linkage shaft 19 moves, it pulls the second cam 20, so that the second cam 20 pulls one of the gear shafts 10 to rotate. As the gear shaft 10 rotates, the meshing tooth groove 27 can be pushed, so that the tooth groove 27 moves forward or backward, and the overall position of the support plate 5 is adjusted.

[0044] The orientation of the support rod 4 can be changed under the action of the rotating mechanism. The rotating motor drives the driving gear 22 to rotate through the driving end. The driving gear 22 is engaged with the driven gear 21. The driving gear 22 drives the driven gear 21 to rotate. The driven gear 21 is engaged with the inner wall of the internal gear 9. The internal gear 9 rotates with the rotation of the driven gear 21. When the internal gear 9 rotates on the arc shaft 7, it will drive the gear block 23 to move, thereby causing the turntable 8 to rotate. The rotation of the turntable 8 can change the orientation of the support rod 4 and the pushing mechanism arranged thereon, and finally realize the effect of changing the orientation of the support plate 5.

[0045] This device can arbitrarily increase or decrease the number of mobile bases 3 used according to positioning needs. The mobile base 3 is slidably installed in the slide groove 2. The threaded shaft 29 passes through the slot 28 and the lower end of the mobile base 3, and is fastened with a nut 30. Multiple mobile bases 3 can be fixedly installed in the slide groove 2, and the installation position can be adjusted.

[0046] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as within the scope of protection of the present invention.
