[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this application, the staff edits the control program in advance according to the working needs of the conveyor belt, pneumatic cylinder 2, pneumatic cylinder 3, vacuum pump, air guide tube, dual-axis pneumatic cylinder and other structures, and then stacks multiple transparent shells of the signboard at the preset position in advance, so as to complete the preparation work of welding and fixing the signboard base and the transparent shell of the signboard, reduce the participation of the staff in the welding process of the signboard base and the transparent shell of the signboard, ensure the accuracy of the guiding positioning between the transparent shell of the signboard and the signboard base, reduce the possibility of structural damage on the signboard base, and improve the processing speed and quality of the traffic safety signs composed of the transparent shell of the signboard and the signboard base.

[0016] 2. In the present application, the pneumatic cylinder is controlled to retract a certain distance, and the traffic safety sign composed of the transparent shell of the sign and the base of the sign is subjected to an upward force. When the traffic safety sign is separated from the conveyor belt, the weight of the traffic safety sign acts on the tension detector, and the weight data detected by the tension detector is fed back to the human-machine interaction device. When the weight value detected by the tension detector reaches above the preset value, it indicates that the base of the sign is suspended in the air, and the base of the sign is not separated from the transparent shell of the sign due to the influence of gravity. The welding and fixation between the base of the sign and the transparent shell of the sign are relatively stable, and the work of welding firmness detection of the transparent shell of the sign and the base of the sign is completed, thereby shortening the processing cycle of the traffic safety sign and reducing cost investment.

Then, control the forward and reverse motor two to rotate forward, and the signboard transparent shell rotates a certain angle. Subsequently, according to the relative position between the signboard transparent shell and the signboard base, the staff can simply and conveniently screen the traffic safety signboards with successful welding from the signboard transparent shells and signboard bases that need to resume work, reducing the labor cost input required for the processing of traffic safety signboards.

Detailed implementation manner

[0020] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0021] Embodiment: As Figures 1 - 12 shown, the present invention provides a technical solution for a welding guiding robotic arm for batch processing of traffic safety signs, including a conveyor belt 1, a transparent sign housing 43 and a sign base 44. A lower welding arm is installed on the conveyor belt 1. A first pneumatic cylinder 5 is provided between the lower welding arm and the conveyor belt 1. A guiding and clamping arm is provided at the top of the lower welding arm. The guiding and clamping arm includes a second pneumatic cylinder 16 provided at the top of the conveyor belt 1, a first mounting frame 18 fixedly installed at one end of the second pneumatic cylinder 16, a third pneumatic cylinder 21 fixedly penetrating through the first mounting frame 18, a second mounting frame 22 fixedly installed at the piston end of the third pneumatic cylinder 21, a third mounting frame 23 rotatably provided at the bottom of the second mounting frame 22, and a tension detector 35 and two third telescopic rods 33 fixedly installed at the bottom of the third mounting frame 23. A fourth mounting frame 36 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the tension detector 35. A clamping assembly is installed on the fourth mounting frame 36. A rotation control assembly is provided between the second mounting frame 22 and the third mounting frame 23.

[0022] Specifically, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a fifth fixing frame 15 is fixedly sleeved outside the second pneumatic cylinder 16. The fifth fixing frame 15 and the guiding frame 17 fixedly installed on one side of the fifth fixing frame 15 are both fixed to the building and cannot be displaced. By controlling the operation of the second pneumatic cylinder 16, the second pneumatic cylinder 16 can control the left and right positions of the first mounting frame 18 fixedly installed at the piston end. On both sides inside the guiding frame 17, two guiding rings 20 are provided. The outer shell of the second telescopic rod 19 fixedly penetrating inside the guiding ring 20 is fixedly penetrated through the top of the first mounting frame 18. The piston ends of the four second telescopic rods 19 are fixedly connected to the second mounting frame 22. Since the second telescopic rod 19 can only expand and contract vertically, when the first mounting frame 18 moves left and right, under the action of the four second telescopic rods 19, the second mounting frame 22 moves left and right synchronously.

[0023] Specifically, as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 shown, in the rotation control assembly, the sixth fixing frame 26 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the second mounting frame 22. A plain bearing 25 is fixedly installed between the bottom of the sixth fixing frame 26 and the third mounting frame 23. Therefore, when the relative position between the third mounting frame 23 and the second mounting frame 22 remains unchanged in the up and down direction, the third mounting frame 23 can rotate. An annular groove 24 is provided at the top of the third mounting frame 23. The plain bearing 25 and the sixth fixing frame 26 are both arranged inside the annular groove 24. The annular groove 24 ensures that the plain bearing 25 and the sixth fixing frame 26 have sufficient movement space.

[0024] In the rotation control assembly, the transmission shaft 31 is rotatably connected to the second mounting frame 22. One side of the second gear 30 fixedly installed on the outer side of the transmission shaft 31 meshes with the first gear 29. A reversible motor two 27 is fixedly installed between the two fixed vertical plates 28 fixedly installed at the top of the second mounting frame 22. The output end of the reversible motor two 27 penetrates through the first gear 29 and is fixedly connected to the first gear 29. Therefore, by controlling the reversible motor two 27 to rotate forward or reverse, under the action of the first gear 29 and the second gear 30, the transmission shaft 31 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise. And the bottom end of the transmission shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the third mounting frame 23. The third mounting frame 23 is driven by the transmission shaft 31 to perform corresponding rotation; A groove 32 is provided at the top of the third mounting frame 23. The second gear 30 and the first gear 29 are both arranged inside the groove 32. The provision of the groove 32 provides space for the movement of the second gear 30 and the first gear 29.

[0025] Specifically, as Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown in the figure, both piston ends of the two telescopic rods 33 are fixedly connected to the mounting frame 36. Two support rods 34 are fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 23, enabling the relative position between the mounting frame 23 and the mounting frame 36 to change. The setting of the support rods 34 limits the shortest distance between the mounting frame 36 and the mounting frame 23, preventing the tension detector 35 and the telescopic rod 33 from being damaged by the impact of the mounting frame 36.

[0026] Specifically, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown in the figure, the air pump 37 in the clamping assembly is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting frame 36. One end of the air duct 38 fixedly installed at the intake end of the air pump 37 is fixedly installed with a solenoid valve 39. Four air extraction pipes 41 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the manifold 40 fixedly connected to the solenoid valve 39. The manifold 40 is fixedly installed at the top of the mounting frame 36 and moves synchronously with the mounting frame 36. The bottom ends of the air extraction pipes 41 penetrate through the mounting frame 36 and are fixedly installed with vacuum suction cups 42. After controlling the air pump 37 to work, the air pump 37 extracts air from the inside of the vacuum suction cups 42 through the air duct 38, the solenoid valve 39, the manifold 40, and the air extraction pipes 41, so as to control the air pressure inside the vacuum suction cups 42.

[0027] Specifically, as Figure 1 、 Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10 shown in the figure, the U-shaped frame 6 in the lower welding arm is arranged on the top of the conveyor belt 1. Four welding machines 13 for welding are arranged inside the U-shaped frame 6. A gearbox 8 and a forward and reverse motor 7 are arranged on the front side and the right side of the U-shaped frame 6 respectively. A plurality of fixed short rods 9 are fixedly installed between the forward and reverse motor 7 and the gearbox 8 and the U-shaped frame 6, enabling the forward and reverse motor 7 and the gearbox 8 to move synchronously with the U-shaped frame 6.

[0028] The output end of the forward and reverse motor 7 on the front side is fixedly connected to the input end of the gearbox 8 on the front side, and the output end of the forward and reverse motor 7 on the right side is fixedly connected to the input end of the gearbox 8 on the right side. Two lead screws 10 are fixedly installed at the two output ends of the two gearboxes 8. The two lead screws 10 driven by the front gearbox 8 are horizontal lead screws 10; the two lead screws 10 driven by the gearbox 8 on the right side are vertical lead screws 10. Four guide cavities 14 are opened inside the U-shaped frame 6. The four lead screws 10 respectively penetrate through the four guide cavities 14, and the lead screws 10 are rotatably connected to the U-shaped frame 6, enabling the lead screws 10 to rotate; On the outer sides of the two horizontal lead screws 10, fixing brackets four 12 are sleeved through nut pairs. One end of the fixing brackets four 12 extends outside the guiding cavity 14 and is fixedly connected to the welding machine 13 on the same side. The two fixing brackets four 12 are arranged on a diagonal line inside the U-shaped frame 6. The fixing brackets four 12 cannot rotate synchronously with the lead screws 10 during the movement inside the guiding cavity 14. Therefore, when the front and reverse motor one 7 works, driven by the gearbox 8, the two horizontal lead screws 10 rotate in opposite directions, and the two fixing brackets four 12 move in opposite directions. On the outer sides of the two vertical lead screws 10, fixing brackets three 11 are sleeved through nut pairs. One end of the fixing brackets three 11 extends outside the guiding cavity 14 and is fixedly connected to the welding machine 13 on the same side. The two fixing brackets three 11 are arranged on the other diagonal line inside the U-shaped frame 6. The fixing brackets three 11 cannot rotate synchronously with the lead screws 10 during the movement inside the guiding cavity 14. When the right front and reverse motor one 7 works, driven by the gearbox 8, the two vertical lead screws 10 rotate in opposite directions, and the two fixing brackets three 11 move in opposite directions.

[0029] In summary, when controlling the two front and reverse motors one 7 to rotate forward synchronously, the four lead screws 10 rotate simultaneously, and the two fixing brackets four 12 and the two fixing brackets three 11 are driven to rotate, causing the four welding machines 13 to move clockwise in a U-shaped trajectory; when controlling the two front and reverse motors one 7 to rotate reversely synchronously, the four welding machines 13 move counterclockwise in a U-shaped trajectory, and the four welding machines 13 weld the contact positions between the transparent outer shell 43 of the signboard and the signboard base 44, ensuring the stability of the welding and fixing between the transparent outer shell 43 of the signboard and the signboard base 44.

[0030] Controlling the lower welding arm to work can drive the four welding machines 13 to move according to the preset trajectory to weld and fix the transparent outer shell 43 of the signboard and the air extraction pipe 41.

[0031] Specifically, such as Figure 11 and Figure 12As shown in the figure, the fourth pneumatic cylinder 45 in the guiding and aligning component is fixedly installed on the front side of the inner cavity of the U-shaped frame 6. The fifth pneumatic cylinder 47 and the fourth telescopic rod 48 are fixedly installed on one side of the mounting frame 46 fixedly installed at the piston end of the fourth pneumatic cylinder 45. A hollow frame 49 is fixedly installed between the piston ends of the fifth pneumatic cylinder 47 and the fourth telescopic rod 48. By controlling the operation of the fifth pneumatic cylinder 47, the front and back positions of the hollow frame 49 can be controlled, so that the hollow frame 49 blocks the signboard bases 44 of different sizes and stays at the preset working positions. A pressure sensor 50 is fixedly installed on the top of the hollow frame 49. Sliding frames 52 are fixedly installed at both piston ends of the double-axis pneumatic cylinder 51 fixedly installed inside the hollow frame 49. The sliding frames 52 are slidably connected to the hollow frame 49, and the pushing plates 53 fixedly installed on one side of the sliding frames 52 are arranged outside the hollow frame 49. By controlling the operation of the double-axis pneumatic cylinder 51, the distance between the two pushing plates 53 can be controlled, so that the two pushing plates 53 correct the position of the signboard base 44 blocked by the hollow frame 49 and guide the position of the signboard base 44.

[0032] Specifically, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, fixing frames two 4 are fixedly installed on both sides of the U-shaped frame 6. The two fixing frames one 2 arranged at the bottoms of the two fixing frames two 4 are fixedly connected to the outer shell of the conveyor belt 1. Two first telescopic rods 3 are fixedly inserted on one of the fixing frames one 2. The piston ends of the two first telescopic rods 3 are fixedly connected to the fixing frame two 4 on the same side. The first pneumatic cylinder 5 is fixedly inserted on the other fixing frame one 2. The piston end of the first pneumatic cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the fixing frame two 4 on the same side. Therefore, by controlling the operation of the first pneumatic cylinder 5, the up and down position of the U-shaped frame 6 can be controlled.

[0033] Specifically, for the structures such as the conveyor belt 1, the lower welding arm, and the guiding and clamping arm, they are connected to the human-computer interaction device to control their automated operation, which is a publicly known technology and will not be elaborated here.

[0034] The specific working principle of the robotic arm composed of the lower welding arm and the guiding and clamping arm in this application is as follows: The conveyor belt 1 conveys the signboard base 44 for movement. When the signboard base 44 abuts against the hollow frame 49, the pressure sensor 50 contacts the signboard base 44. The pressure value detected by the pressure sensor 50 changes. The human-computer interaction device receives the feedback of the pressure sensor 50 and controls the conveyor belt 1 to pause, so that the conveyor belt 1 stays at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 6.

[0035] Subsequently, the human-computer interaction device controls the double-axis pneumatic cylinder 51 to work and contract. The two pushing plates 53 move towards each other at the same speed. The two pushing plates 53 adjust the position of the signboard base 44. After the signboard base 44 enters the welding state, the double-axis pneumatic cylinder 51 stops working and drives the pushing plates 53 to reset.

[0036] Subsequently, control the pneumatic cylinder two 16 to work to push the mounting bracket one 18 to move, so that the mounting bracket one 18 and the mounting bracket four 36 stay on the tops of a plurality of sign transparent casings 43 arranged in advance in a stacked manner. Subsequently, the pneumatic cylinder three 21 works to push the mounting bracket two 22, the mounting bracket three 23 and the mounting bracket four 36 to move downward, so that the four vacuum suction cups 42 press on the uppermost sign transparent casing 43. The pneumatic cylinder three 21 pauses working. Then control the air extraction pump 37 to work to extract air, so that a negative pressure is generated inside the four vacuum suction cups 42 to adsorb and fix the sign transparent casing 43. After a period of time, control the solenoid valve 39 to work to close, and the air extraction pump 37 stops working. Finally, control the pneumatic cylinder three 21 to contract, and the sign transparent casing 43 is pulled to move upward.

[0037] Subsequently, control the pneumatic cylinder two 16 to work again, so that the mounting bracket four 36 moves to a preset position on the top of the U-shaped bracket 6, and the sign transparent casing 43 moves to the top of the U-shaped bracket 6. The pneumatic cylinder two 16 stops working.

[0038] Subsequently, control the pneumatic cylinder three 21 to work to push the sign transparent casing 43 to move downward. The sign transparent casing 43 presses on the top of the sign base 44. Subsequently, control the lower welding arm to work, drive the four welding machines 13 to move along a preset trajectory, and the welding machines 13 work synchronously to weld the contact positions of the sign transparent casing 43 and the sign base 44, and then the welding work of the sign transparent casing 43 and the sign base 44 can be completed. The staff edits the control program in advance according to the working requirements of structures such as the conveyor belt 1, the pneumatic cylinder two 16, the pneumatic cylinder three 21, the air extraction pump 37, the air duct 38, and the double-axis pneumatic cylinder 51. Then stack a plurality of sign transparent casings 43 at a preset position in advance, and then the preparation work for welding and fixing the sign base 44 and the sign transparent casing 43 can be completed, reducing the participation of the staff in the welding process of the sign base 44 and the sign transparent casing 43, ensuring the accuracy of the guiding and positioning between the sign transparent casing 43 and the sign base 44, reducing the possibility of structural damage on the sign base 44, and improving the processing speed and quality of the traffic safety sign composed of the sign transparent casing 43 and the sign base 44.

[0039] After the welding process of the transparent sign housing 43 and the sign base 44 is completed, control the third pneumatic cylinder 21 to contract a certain distance. The third pneumatic cylinder 21 drives the second mounting bracket 22, the third mounting bracket 23, and the fourth mounting bracket 36 to move upward by a certain distance. At this time, the traffic safety sign composed of the transparent sign housing 43 and the sign base 44 is subjected to an upward force. A tension detector 35 is fixedly installed between the third mounting bracket 23 and the fourth mounting bracket 36. When the traffic safety sign is separated from the conveyor belt 1, the weight of the traffic safety sign acts on the tension detector 35, and the weight data detected by the tension detector 35 is fed back to the human-machine interaction device. When the weight value detected by the tension detector 35 reaches above the preset value, it indicates that the sign base 44 is suspended and the sign base 44 has not separated from the transparent sign housing 43 due to the influence of gravity, and the welding between the sign base 44 and the transparent sign housing 43 is relatively stable, completing the work of detecting the welding firmness of the transparent sign housing 43 and the sign base 44, shortening the processing cycle of the traffic safety sign and reducing the cost investment; Then control the solenoid valve 39 to work and open, so that the inside of the vacuum chuck 42 is depressurized, and the transparent sign housing 43 loses its fixation. The traffic safety sign falls back to the top of the conveyor belt 1 under the action of gravity; control the third pneumatic cylinder 21 to contract and reset, control the first pneumatic cylinder 5 to work, and move the U-shaped frame 6 upward to provide space for the movement of the traffic safety sign, and control the conveyor belt 1 to work to convey the traffic safety sign away.

[0040] When the weight value detected by the tension detector 35 does not reach the preset value, it means that after the transparent sign housing 43 moves upward, the sign base 44 separates from the transparent sign housing 43 under the action of gravity, and the welding process between the transparent sign housing 43 and the sign base 44 fails. The human-machine interaction device controls the forward and reverse motor two 27 to rotate forward, driving the third mounting bracket 23 to rotate a certain angle, the fourth mounting bracket 36 to rotate a certain angle, and the fourth mounting bracket 36 drives the transparent sign housing 43 to rotate a certain angle through the clamping assembly. Then control the solenoid valve 39 to work and open, and the inside of the vacuum chuck 42 is depressurized. The transparent sign housing 43 after the angle change falls to the top of the sign base 44; then control the third pneumatic cylinder 21 to work and contract, and the fourth mounting bracket 36 moves upward to reset. During this process, control the forward and reverse motor two 27 to rotate in reverse to restore the relative position between the second mounting bracket 22 and the third mounting bracket 23. Then control the first pneumatic cylinder 5 to work to push the U-shaped frame 6 upward, and the conveyor belt 1 works to convey. The transparent sign housing 43 and the sign base 44 move. Subsequently, the staff can simply and conveniently screen the successfully welded traffic safety signs from the transparent sign housing 43 and the sign base 44 that need to resume work according to the relative position between the transparent sign housing 43 and the sign base 44, reducing the labor cost investment required for the processing of traffic safety signs.
