[0028] The weld positioning module 7 includes an arc-shaped deflection frame 701 and two symmetrical brackets 711. A lifting plate 712 is slidably connected to each of the brackets 711. A stabilizing plate 720 is provided on one side of the two lifting plates 712 facing each other. All four clamps 4 are located between the two stabilizing plates 720. The arc-shaped deflection frame 701 is bolted to the bottom of the installation box 2. The weld positioning module 7 is used to adjust the height or angle after clamping and fixing the workpiece so that the weld on the workpiece faces the welding torch 6 at the best welding angle, thereby improving the welding effect and efficiency of the welding torch 6;
[0029] The adaptive fixing module 8 includes a plurality of equally spaced contact blocks 805 and two symmetrical suction cups 813. The plurality of contact blocks 805 are all located between the two clamps 4 on the same side. The adaptive fixing module 8 is used to improve the clamping and fixing ability of the weld positioning module 7 for workpieces with different sizes and shapes, so as to improve the stability of the device for clamping workpieces with different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.
[0030] Specifically, the two gearbox workpieces to be welded are respectively placed into the device, and the adaptive fixing module 8 on the clamp 4 is used to clamp and fix the workpieces. The weld positioning module 7 is used to adjust the position and posture of the workpieces, so that the workpieces are brought together to form a weld. The linear motor 9, the second hydraulic rod 10 and the welding torch 6 are started, so that the welding torch 6 can weld the gearbox workpieces along the weld; The device can use the weld positioning module 7 to adjust the posture and angle of the workpiece being clamped and fixed, so that the device can effectively position the weld formed after the gearbox workpieces are closed, so that the weld and the welding torch 6 are always at the best welding angle, improving the quality and efficiency of welding.
[0031] Refer to Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, in a preferred embodiment, two symmetric convex rafters 702 are connected to the outside of the arc-shaped deflection frame 701 by bolts.

The same diamond-shaped rod 710 is slidably connected in the two through holes. The two ends of the diamond-shaped rod 710 are respectively connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the installation box 2 by bolts. Two symmetric first springs 716 are wound around the outside of the diamond-shaped rod 710. One end of the first spring 716 is connected to the outside of the same-side bracket 711 by bolts, and the other end is connected to the inner wall of the installation box 2 by bolts. A second motor 713 is connected to the inner wall of the installation box 2 by bolts; The output end of the second motor 713 is connected to a round shaft through a coupling. Two symmetric wire winding rollers 714 are connected to the outside of the round shaft by bolts. Steel wire ropes 715 are wound on the two wire winding rollers 714. The winding directions of the two steel wire ropes 715 are opposite. The ends of the steel wire ropes 715 away from the wire winding rollers 714 are respectively connected to the outside of the same-side bracket 711 by bolts. Motors 717 are connected to the opposite sides of the two brackets 711 by bolts. The output ends of the motors 717 are respectively connected to lead screws 718 through couplings. Convex seats are provided on the outsides of the lead screws 718. The convex seats and the opposite sides of the same-side lifting plates 712 are respectively connected by bolts;Holes are formed in both lifting plates 712. Shaft rods are rotatably connected in the holes through bearings. One side of each shaft rod opposite to the stable disk 720 on the same side is connected by bolts. Driving motors 719 are connected to the outside of the lifting plates 712 by bolts. The output ends of the driving motors 719 are connected to one side of the shaft rods on the same side through couplings. Two symmetrical cutting grooves 727 are formed on one side of the two stable disks 720 opposite to each other. Moving blocks 728 are slidably connected in the cutting grooves 727. One side of each moving block 728 opposite to the fixture 4 on the same side is in contact. Cuts are formed on the inner walls of the cutting grooves 727. Short shafts 723 are slidably connected in the cuts. Rotating frames 721 are rotatably connected to the outside of the shaft rods through bearings. Two curved surface grooves 722 evenly distributed in a circular pattern are formed on each rotating frame 721. The inner walls of the curved surface grooves 722 are slidably connected to the outside of the short shafts 723 on the same side. One side of the two rotating frames 721 opposite to the stable disks 720 on the same side is rotatably connected through bearings. Tooth rings 724 are connected to the outside of the rotating frames 721 by bolts. Locking clasps 725 are clamped to the outside of the tooth rings 724. One side of each locking clasp 725 close to the stable disk 720 is connected by bolts to a thin shaft. A boss is rotatably connected to the outside of the thin shaft through a bearing. The outside of the boss and the outside of the stable disk 720 are connected by bolts. A first torsion spring 726 is connected to the outside of the thin shaft by bolts. One end of the first torsion spring 726 away from the thin shaft is connected to the outside of the boss by bolts.;
[0032] Specifically, place the workpiece to be welded between the fixtures 4. Rotate the rotating frame 721 so that the curved surface groove 722 on the rotating frame 721 pushes the short shaft 723 connected to the moving block 728 to slide on the cutting groove 727 during rotation, so that the fixture 4 gradually approaches the workpiece and finally presses against the outside of the workpiece. After the workpiece is clamped by the fixture 4, under the torque of the first torsion spring 726, the locking clasp 725 is pressed by the torque towards the tooth ring 724, so that the tooth ring 724 is clamped with the locking clasp 725, so that the fixture 4 maintains the clamping state of the workpiece on the stable disk 720. Start the second motor 713. The second motor 713 drives the two winding rollers 714 to rotate, so that the two steel wire ropes 715 pull the brackets 711 on both sides towards the middle, so that the two workpieces are closed to form a weld. When the workpiece has a large size, start the third motor 717. The third motor 717 drives the lead screw 718 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 712 drives the workpiece to rise. When the weld position deviates from the center position or the two workpieces have non-parallel welds, start the first motor 705. The first motor 705 drives the gear 706 meshing with the rack 704 to rotate, so as to adjust the angle of the weld. After the weld facing the welding torch 6 is welded, start the driving motor 719. The driving motor 719 drives the stable disk 720 to rotate, so that the unwelded weld on the workpiece is flipped and faces the welding torch 6, and continue welding.
[0033] In a specific application scenario, the weld positioning module 7 is mainly applicable to the weld positioning link during the weld positioning process. That is, the weld positioning module 7 can adjust the angle of the weld when the device is welding at an off-center position or a non-parallel weld by using the convex rib 702 and the arc-shaped deflection frame 701, so as to ensure that the welding torch 6 can always weld at a better angle, reducing the occurrence of missed welds and wrong welds. By using the drive motor 719 and the stabilizing disk 720, the device can quickly flip the workpiece after welding the upper-side weld, thereby reducing the welding downtime and improving the welding efficiency. By using the locking buckle 725 and the gear ring 724, the device can effectively maintain the clamping force on the workpiece, thus avoiding the workpiece from shifting under force during welding, which may lead to welding failure and rework.
[0034] Refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10, in a preferred embodiment, on one side of each of the two jigs 4 located on the same side, a mounting frame 801 is bolted. Three notches 808 with different lengths are formed in the mounting frame 801. Limiting rods 806 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the notches 808. Contact blocks 805 are all located in the mounting frame 801. The outer part of the contact block 805 that is farthest from the moving block 728 among the four contact blocks 805 located in the same mounting frame 801 is bolted to the inner wall of the mounting frame 801. Circular openings are formed in the three contact blocks 805 close to the moving block 728. The inner walls of the circular openings are rotatably connected to the outer parts of the limiting rods 806 on the same side through bearings. Different-length second springs 807 are bolted to the outer parts of the three limiting rods 806 on the same side respectively. The ends of the second springs 807 far from the limiting rods 806 are bolted to the outside of the mounting frame 801 on the same side; on the side of the four moving blocks 728 far from the stabilizing disk 720, connecting rods 803 are bolted. Openings are formed in the jigs 4, and the inner walls of the openings are slidably connected to the outer parts of the connecting rods 803 on the same side. Grooves are formed on the side of the connecting rods 803 far from the stabilizing disk 720, and first hydraulic rods 804 are bolted in the grooves. The output ends of the first hydraulic rods 804 are bolted to the inner walls of the openings on the same side. Symmetric rectangular openings 802 are formed in the two stabilizing disks 720. Movable blocks 809 are slidably connected in the rectangular openings 802. Sliding rods 810 are slidably connected to the movable blocks 809. Third springs 811 are wound around the outer parts of the sliding rods 810. One end of each third spring 811 is bolted to the outside of the corresponding movable block 809, and the other end is bolted to the outer part of the corresponding sliding rod 810 on the same side; at the ends of the sliding rods 810 far from the third springs 811, connecting frames 812 are bolted. The outer parts of suction cups 813 are rotatably connected to the connecting frames 812 on the same side through bearings. Thin rods are bolted to the outer parts of the suction cups 813. Second torsion springs 815 are bolted to the outer parts of the thin rods. The ends of the second torsion springs 815 far from the thin rods are bolted to the outside of the connecting frames 812 on the same side. Suction pumps 814 are arranged on the suction cups 813. The output ends of the suction pumps 814 are connected to the corresponding suction cups 813 through conduits. Two symmetric strip plates 816 are arranged outside the rectangular openings 802. The strip plates 816 are bolted to the side of the stabilizing disk 720 on the same side opposite to them. Narrow slots 817 are formed in the strip plates 816. Two symmetric short plates are bolted to the side of the movable block 809 close to the suction cup 813. Slots are formed in the short plates. Long rod screws 818 are slidably connected in the slots. The outer parts of the long rod screws 818 are slidably connected to the inner walls of the two narrow slots 817 on the same side. Nuts 819 are rotatably connected to the outer parts of the long rod screws 818 through external threads. The opposite sides of the nuts 819 and the outside of the strip plates 816 on the same side are in contact.
[0035] Specifically, before using the fixture 4 to clamp the workpiece, according to the width and surface characteristics of the workpiece, the first hydraulic rod 804 is activated. The output end of the first hydraulic rod 804 extends or contracts, driving the fixture 4 to extend or contract on the connecting rod 803. During the process that the fixture 4 moves towards the workpiece and clamps the workpiece, the contact block 805 gradually approaches the workpiece and finally fits with the workpiece. Under the action of the second spring 807 and the limiting rod 806, the contact block 805 will closely adhere to the workpiece along the outer contour of the workpiece. When the outer surface of the workpiece is relatively complex, the nut 819 is loosened to release the locking of the long rod screw 818 on the movable block 809, so that the movable block 809 can slide on the rectangular opening 802. The suction pump 814 is activated to form a negative pressure inside the suction cup 813, grab the connecting frame 812, move the suction cup 813 to a relatively smooth position on the workpiece, overcome the elastic force of the third spring 811 to pull the sliding rod 810 outwards, so that the suction cup 813 can fit and adsorb on the workpiece, and then the nut 819 is tightened to fix the movable block 809 on the rectangular opening 802.
[0036] In a specific application scenario, the adaptive fixing module 8 is mainly applicable to the adaptive fixing link in the adaptive fixing process, that is, the adaptive fixing module 8 uses the suction cup 813 to provide a certain adsorption force during the process of clamping the workpiece by the fixture 4 on the device to reinforce the clamping and fixing effect, so as to ensure the stability of the workpiece in the direction perpendicular to the clamping direction of the fixture 4 when the device flips the weld of the workpiece, and avoid deflection or skew. The contact block 805 enables the device to wrap and lift along the outer contour of the workpiece when clamping the workpiece, thereby improving the clamping adaptability of the device to workpieces of different sizes and appearances.
[0037] A positioning and welding method for machining a gear box body, using a positioning and welding device for machining a gear box body as described above, includes the following steps:
[0038] Step 1: Place the two gearbox workpieces to be welded into the inverted device respectively, and use the adaptive fixing module 8 on the fixture 4 to clamp and fix the workpieces. (Before using the fixture 4 to clamp the workpieces, according to the width and surface characteristics of the workpieces, start the first hydraulic rod 804. The output end of the first hydraulic rod 804 extends or contracts, driving the fixture 4 to extend or contract on the connecting rod 803. During the process of the fixture 4 moving towards the workpiece and clamping the workpiece, the contact block 805 gradually approaches the workpiece and finally fits with the workpiece. Under the action of the second spring 807 and the limiting rod 806, the contact block 805 will closely adhere to the workpiece along the outer contour of the workpiece. When the surface of the workpiece is relatively complex, loosen the nut 819 to release the locking of the long rod screw 818 on the movable block 809, so that the movable block 809 can slide on the rectangular opening 802. Start the suction pump 814 to form negative pressure inside the suction cup 813, grab the connecting frame 812, move the suction cup 813 to a relatively smooth position on the workpiece, pull the sliding rod 810 outwards against the elastic force of the third spring 811, so that the suction cup 813 can fit and adsorb on the workpiece, and tighten the nut 819 to fix the movable block 809 on the rectangular opening 802);
[0039] Step 2: Use the weld seam positioning module 7 to adjust the position and posture of the workpieces, so that the workpieces are brought together to form a weld seam. Start the linear motor 9, the second hydraulic rod 10 and the welding torch 6, so that the welding torch 6 can weld and process the gearbox workpieces along the weld seam. (Place the workpieces to be welded between the fixtures 4, rotate the rotating frame 721, so that the curved surface groove 722 on the rotating frame 721 pushes the short shaft 723 connected to the moving block 728 to slide on the cutting groove 727 during rotation, so that the fixture 4 gradually approaches the workpiece and finally closely adheres to the outside of the workpiece. After the workpiece is clamped by the fixture 4, under the torsion of the first torsion spring 726, the locking buckle 725 is pressed by the torsion force towards the tooth ring 724, so that the tooth ring 724 is clamped with the locking buckle 725, so that the fixture 4 maintains the clamping state of the workpiece on the stable plate 720. Start the second motor 713, the second motor 713 drives the two wire winding rollers 714 to rotate, so that the two steel wire ropes 715 pull the brackets 711 on both sides towards the middle, so that the two workpieces are closed to form a weld seam. When the workpiece has a large size, start the third motor 717, the third motor 717 drives the lead screw 718 to rotate, so that the lifting plate 712 drives the workpiece to rise. When the weld seam position deviates from the center position or the two workpieces have non-parallel weld seams, start the first motor 705, the first motor 705 drives the gear 706 meshing with the rack 704 to rotate, so as to adjust the angle of the weld seam. After the weld seam facing the welding torch 6 is welded, start the driving motor 719, the driving motor 719 drives the stable plate 720 to rotate, so that the unwelded weld seam on the workpiece is turned over and faces the welding torch 6, and continue welding).
