Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of welding devices, and particularly relates to an automatic centering welding device. Background Art
[0002] As is well known, welding is to achieve the bonding between the joint surfaces of the metals to be welded by heating or pressurizing. It can be said that the bonding area between the two joint surfaces directly affects the welding quality. Centering welding means that during the welding process, the weld seam is located at the center position of the two joint surfaces. Such a welding method has an important impact on the quality and performance of the weld seam. To improve the centering of the weld seam during the welding process, we propose an automatic centering welding device.
[0003] After retrieval, the patent with the Chinese patent publication number CN117340512A discloses a hollow welding ball automatic centering device and method, which is generally described as including a lifting device and a ball-holding rotating device, and also includes a precision turntable for rotating the hollow welding ball, a front camera, a rear line laser camera, and a Raspberry Pi for processing the weld seam feature images. The precision turntable is installed at the central position of the hollow welding ball automatic welding device, the front camera is installed at the position where the ideal plane of the weld seam intersects with the top bracket of the hollow welding ball automatic welding device, the rear line laser camera is installed at the position where the distance of the ideal plane of the weld seam intersects with the rear bracket of the hollow welding ball automatic welding device, and the Raspberry Pi is installed in the dust-proof and heat-dissipating control box of the hollow welding ball automatic welding device. The two cameras transmit image data to the Raspberry Pi through USB, and each motor is connected to the Raspberry Pi through Ethernet to transmit feedback and control signals. The patent with the Chinese patent publication number CN221313046U discloses a workpiece automatic centering welding machine, which is generally described as including a welding torch connected to a swinging mechanism, the swinging mechanism is installed on a multi-axis robot arm, a product-gripping mechanism is installed on the multi-axis robot arm, a machine table is arranged below the multi-axis robot arm, a front-back alignment mechanism and a left-right limiting mechanism are installed on the machine table, and a workpiece horizontal conveying table is arranged on one side of the machine table. When in use, the distance between the two limiting baffles of the left-right limiting mechanism is adjusted, the workpiece is placed between the two limiting baffles, then the front-back alignment mechanism aligns and centers the workpiece, then the multi-axis robot arm drives the welding torch to weld the workpiece, and finally the multi-axis robot arm drives the product-gripping mechanism to suck the workpiece and place it on the workpiece horizontal conveying table and convey it to other workstations.
[0004] Although the above two sets of prior art solutions can achieve the welding operations of their respective target workpieces, during the welding operation process, the centering with respect to the weld seam is achieved by forming positioning clamps on the target workpiece. In actual situations, there will inevitably be errors in the welding areas on the target workpiece. At the same time, the welding areas of target workpieces with different specifications and shapes are also different. Moreover, there will inevitably be errors between the positioning clamps of multiple target workpieces. Therefore, simply relying on forming positioning clamps on the target workpiece to achieve centering and positioning of the weld seam on it has poor accuracy and repeatability, and its practicality needs to be further improved.

[0023] It should be further noted that a first horizontal adjustment component and a second horizontal adjustment component are installed on the transfer lifting frame 4.

After the template ball 15 is worn out, the consumed template ball 15 is rotated and adjusted relative to the necking and tapering rod 42, so that the template ball 15 forms a relative spiral movement relative to the necking and tapering rod 42. The direction of controlling this spiral movement is the direction in which the internal thread on the template ball 15 is spirally removed relative to the external thread on the necking and tapering rod 42 until the threaded connection function between the necking and tapering rod 42 and the template ball 15 fails, and thus the disassembly of the consumed template ball 15 relative to the necking and tapering rod 42 can be realized. Then, a new template ball 15 is selected, and the new template ball 15 is rotated and inserted relative to the necking and tapering rod 42. Under the action of the internal thread on the new template ball 15 and the adapted external thread on the necking and tapering rod 42, the new template ball 15 will form a spiral insertion relative to the necking and tapering rod 42, so that a threaded connection is formed between the new template ball 15 and the necking and tapering rod 42. Then, the new template ball 15 is continuously rotated relative to the necking and tapering rod 42 until the internal thread on the new template ball 15 enters the limit position of spiral insertion relative to the external thread on the necking and tapering rod 42, that is, the replacement of the template ball 15 is completed.

The threaded rod 28 is externally threaded with a threaded sleeve 29. The threaded sleeve 29 is fixedly connected with the fixed inclined frame 25. Through the provision of the first leveling component and the second leveling component, the corresponding installation stations of the welding torch 1, the profiling ball 15, the profiling rod 13 and the actuating rod 14 are formed, which can realize the trajectory conduction between the welding seam and the centering system and the trajectory execution between the centering system and the welding torch 1. At the same time, it can also adjust the relative distance between the welding torch 1 and the profiling ball 15 according to the actual welding needs, which is more practical. The profiling rod 13 and the actuating rod 14 are both provided with a concave toroidal surface 40 matching the rotating frame 5, and the profiling rod 13 and the actuating rod 14 are both provided with an over-guiding rounded corner 41, which provides over-guiding for the passing of both the profiling rod 13 and the actuating rod 14 relative to the first track frame 7, and also provides over-guiding for the passing of both the profiling rod 13 and the actuating rod 14 relative to the second track frame 8.,
[0024] The first servo motor 6, the second servo motor 32, the third servo motor 33, the electric telescopic rod 34, the fourth servo motor 37, the electric drive rod 45 and the electric support rod 47 in this embodiment are all conventional devices well-known to those skilled in the art and purchased on the market. In the present invention, we only use them and do not improve their structures and functions. Their setting methods, installation methods and electrical connection methods, for those skilled in the art, only need to be debugged and operated according to the requirements of their user manuals, and will not be elaborated here again.
[0025] To sum up, the working principle of this automatic centering welding device is that before use, place this automatic centering welding device at the location where it is needed, and connect the control circuits of the first servo motor 6, the second servo motor 32, the third servo motor 33, the electric telescopic rod 34, the fourth servo motor 37, the electric drive rod 45 and the electric support rod 47. Install a welding machine for the welding torch 1. During actual use, the welding machine is powered on and runs to realize the welding operation on the target workpiece through the welding torch 1. When in use, first place the target workpiece to be welded on the workbench 2, and realize the rotational adjustment of the rotating pressure frame 44 relative to the pressing frame 43 through the operation of the electric drive rod 45, so that the end of the rotating pressure frame 44 away from the electric drive rod 45 forms a pressing and positioning on the workbench 2 relative to the target workpiece. During actual operation, according to the specific structural form of the target workpiece, multiple electric support rods 47 can be purposefully adjusted to make the multiple support blocks 48 form a relative height adjustment relative to the workbench 2 to form an appropriate and corresponding support height for the target workpiece. Then control the second servo motor 32 and the fourth servo motor 37 to be powered on and run to realize the adjustment of the rotating and lifting frame 4 in the horizontal direction to attach Figure 1Taking the direction in [reference] as a reference, under the meshing drive of the driving gear 38 and the transmission rack 39, the fourth servo motor 37 is powered on to operate, enabling the adjustment of the gantry 3 along the workbench 2. A spur gear is installed on the output shaft of the second servo motor 32, and a spur rack meshing with the spur gear is installed on the gantry 3. Therefore, when the second servo motor 32 is powered on to operate, the translation frame 30 can move left and right along the gantry 3 for adjustment. Thus, when the second servo motor 32 and the fourth servo motor 37 are powered on and operate in combination, the translation frame 30 can be displaced horizontally, that is, the rotation-adjustable lifting frame 4 can be displaced horizontally. A driving gear ring is installed on the output shaft of the third servo motor 33, and a transmission gear ring is installed on the rotating frame 31. The transmission gear ring meshes with the driving gear ring. Therefore, when the third servo motor 33 is powered on to operate, the rotation-adjustable lifting frame 4 can be rotationally adjusted to enable the centering system to have a suitable position in the horizontal direction relative to the target workpiece. When the welding torch 1 and the profiling ball 15 are both vertically aligned with the welding seam of the target workpiece, the second servo motor 32, the third servo motor 33, and the fourth servo motor 37 are all controlled to stop. Then, the electric telescopic rod 34 works to lower the height of the rotation-adjustable lifting frame 4 within the gantry 3. During this process, the profiling ball 15, the welding torch 1, and the centering system are lowered synchronously in height. When the profiling ball 15 is inserted into the gap to be welded, the welding torch 1 just has a suitable welding height. Then, through the combined operation of the second servo motor 32 and the fourth servo motor 37, the horizontal movement of the rotation-adjustable lifting frame 4 is realized, and the profiling ball 15 is controlled to move relative to the welding seam of the target workpiece to the head of the welding seam to be welded. Then, the first servo motor 6, the second servo motor 32, and the fourth servo motor 37 are started synchronously. The first servo motor 6 is powered on to drive the rotation of the rotating frame 5, that is, when the rotating frame 5 moves horizontally by itself, it also realizes its own rotational movement. During the rotational movement of the rotating frame 5, it can drive a plurality of first track frames 7 and a plurality of second track frames 8 to form a synchronous revolution movement. When the plurality of first track frames 7 revolve synchronously, they will pass by the profiling rod 13 in sequence. When the plurality of second track frames 8 revolve synchronously, they will also pass by the profiling rod 13 in sequence. Since the permanent magnets 12 are distributed in the area between the actuating rod 14 and the profiling rod 13, the lining iron blocks 10 in the first track frames 7 and the second track frames 8 that enter this area will be driven to overcome the elastic force of the recovery spring 11, so that the friction rough surface 49 on the lining iron block 10 contacts the rotating frame 5. That is, the first track frames 7 and the second track frames 8 that are pushed by the profiling rod 13 during the movement through the profiling rod 13 will maintain the state after being pushed by the profiling rod 13 until they pass by the actuating rod 14.
[0026] Further, control the relative movement of the transfer and adjustment lifting frame 4 with respect to the weld gap on the target workpiece, so that the profiling ball 15 remains inserted into the weld gap and swings along the position of the weld gap. The position swing of the profiling ball 15 drives the profiling frame 21 to form a synchronous position swing through the necking and gradual change rod 42. The swing of the profiling frame 21 drives the profiling rod 13 to swing. The swing of the profiling rod 13 is directly manifested as the driving change of the first track frame 7 and the second track frame 8, so that the trajectories of the first track frame 7 and the second track frame 8 acting on the actuating rod 14 also form corresponding changes. Therefore, along with the movement of the profiling ball 15, an imitated trajectory of the weld gap is formed between the multiple first track frames 7 and the multiple second track frames 8. Then, along with the rotation drive of the first servo motor 6 for the rotating frame 5, when the imitated trajectory passes through the actuating rod 14, the welding torch 1 just passes through the weld gap corresponding to the imitated trajectory. The supporting welding machine is powered on and runs to realize the welding output operation of the welding torch 1. When the first track frame 7 and the second track frame 8 rotate past the actuating rod 14, the inner lining iron block 10 will rotate farther and farther away from the effective magnetic action area of the permanent magnet 12. Therefore, when the magnetic adsorption force of the permanent magnet 12 acting on the inner lining iron block 10 is not enough to overcome the elastic force of the recovery spring 11, the inner lining iron block 10 will be retracted with respect to the corresponding first track frame 7 and the second track frame 8. After that, the friction positioning effect between the first track frame 7 and the rotating frame 5 fails, and the friction positioning effect between the second track frame 8 and the rotating frame 5 fails. Under the elastic recovery effect of the elastic spring 9, the first track frame 7 and the second track frame 8 will perform a movement reset within the rotating frame 5 to prepare for forming a new imitated trajectory again when passing by the profiling rod 13 again. Rotating back and forth like this finally completes the complete welding operation of the weld gap on the target workpiece. During the welding operation, it should be controlled that the welded target area is completely covered within the left and right horizontal sliding recognition operation range of the first track frame 7 and the second track frame 8. Each time it exceeds the left and right horizontal sliding recognition operation range of the first track frame 7 and the second track frame 8, the position of the transfer and adjustment lifting frame 4 in the horizontal direction with respect to the target workpiece should be readjusted with respect to the weld gap and then profiling welding is carried out. By rotating the threaded rod 28, the sliding adjustment of the synchronous rack 26 with respect to the fixed inclined frame 25 can be realized. Under the meshing and transmission effect of the synchronous rack 26 and the transmission gear 27, the movement of the synchronous rack 26 can realize the linkage rotation adjustment of a coaxial rotating frame 16 on the right and a parallel rotating frame 17 on the right, and finally form the adjustment of the horizontal distance between the profiling ball 15 and the welding torch 1 to form corresponding use for supporting different welding forms. For example, when the thickness of the welded workpiece is relatively thick, in order to ensure the penetration of the welding, the welding current is usually increased. The welding molten pool formed thereby is also larger, and the corresponding heat formation is also larger. At this time, in order to reduce the influence of the welding high temperature on the profiling ball 15 during temperature conduction of the target workpiece, the profiling ball 15 can be appropriately adjusted away from the welding torch 1. On the contrary, the profiling ball 15 can be appropriately adjusted closer to the welding torch 1 to realize the rapid use after the imitated trajectory is formed.Reduce the rotational distance after the formation of the imitation trajectory and reduce the variation generated after the formation of the imitation trajectory.
