Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of automobile body parts welding, and in particular relates to an automatic welding device for automobile body parts. Background Art

[0002] The car body is welded together from multiple independent stamping parts. Therefore, the welded areas are mostly where flat stamping parts overlap. Welding is then performed along the contact seam between the two parts. This can be spot welding or laser welding. The two workpieces need to be clamped and fixed before welding. Although the relative positions of the workpieces are accurate in most cases, it is still necessary to verify them through measurement. However, this increases the number of steps in actual operation. If verification is not performed, once the workpieces shift, not only will work hours be wasted, but the rejection rate of the product will also increase. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the above situation, and to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a welding device that can monitor the relative position of sheet metal workpieces before welding. In order to automatically verify the position of the workpiece before welding, the present invention is based on the principle that two points in a plane can determine a line segment. By providing magnetic attraction and pushing components at both ends of the beam, the hydraulic clutch mechanism can only be engaged after the magnetic attraction and pushing components at both ends are triggered by adsorption. This ensures that welding can only be carried out when the workpiece is in the correct position; otherwise, welding cannot be carried out.

[0004] However, since a certain pressure is required to push the liquid, the magnetic suction cup needs to have a certain size. Therefore, in order to avoid the problem that the corresponding magnetic suction cups are triggered to slide when they partially overlap and are not coaxial, the present invention proposes a magnetic unlocking component as a safety device for the magnetic pushing component. The sliding of the central sliding rod can only be triggered after the positions of the surrounding magnetic columns are corresponding, which can effectively solve the problem of mutual adsorption of the magnetic suction cups when they partially overlap.

[0005] In addition, since the edge of a sheet metal workpiece is not necessarily a straight line, the present invention also proposes a telescopic tracking assembly, which, through the guidance of the guide rod and the elastic force of the tracking spring, allows the end of the welding gun used for welding to always slide along the edge of a sheet metal workpiece, thereby achieving the technical effect of the welding gun sliding along the actual edge of the sheet metal workpiece when the slide slides along a straight line.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows: The present invention proposes an automatic welding device for automobile body parts, comprising a workpiece clamping assembly, a dual magnetic positioning mechanism, a hydraulic clutch mechanism, and a sliding welding mechanism, wherein the workpiece clamping assembly is provided with two groups, the dual magnetic positioning mechanism is symmetrically arranged at both ends of the workpiece clamping assembly, the hydraulic clutch mechanism is arranged at one end of the workpiece clamping assembly, and the sliding welding mechanism is arranged on the workpiece clamping assembly;

The liquid storage chamber is arranged on the positioning cylinder, and the piston cup is snap-fitted and slidably arranged in the liquid storage chamber.

[0010] When the two magnetic cups are close to each other, the magnetic attraction between them causes them to slide toward each other, thereby squeezing out the liquid in the liquid storage chamber and realizing power transmission control of the hydraulic clutch mechanism.

[0049] Under the elastic force of the tracking spring 52, the welding gun 54 can always slide along the edge of the sheet metal workpiece 8. When facing the edge of a curved surface with large curvature, tracking welding can be automatically performed on the junction of the two sheet metal workpieces 8 without advance programming.

[0050] The double magnetic positioning mechanism 2 includes a magnetic pushing component 9 and a magnetic unlocking component 10. The magnetic pushing component 9 is arranged on the workpiece clamping component 1, and the magnetic unlocking component 10 is arranged in a ring shape in the magnetic pushing component 9. The workpiece clamping component 1 includes a crossbeam 6.

[0051] The dual magnetic positioning mechanism 2 has a dual positioning function. First, through the magnetic unlocking component 10, the two relative sets of magnetic pushing components 9 will only be attracted and slide against each other when the coaxiality reaches a certain degree; in addition, the sliding of the magnetic pushing component 9 can control the engagement and separation of the hydraulic clutch mechanism 3.

[0052] The magnetic pushing assembly 9 includes a positioning bracket 11, a positioning cylinder 12, a center slide rod 13 and a liquid storage chamber 14. The positioning bracket 11 is fixed to both ends of the beam 6. The positioning cylinder 12 is arranged in the positioning bracket 11. The positioning cylinder 12 is provided with a through center slide hole 19 and an eccentric slide hole 20. The top of the eccentric slide hole 20 is provided with a slide groove 56. The center slide rod 13 is engaged and slidably arranged in the center slide hole 19. The center slide rod 13 is provided with a magnetic suction cup 21, a locking cup 22 and a piston cup 23 in sequence. The locking cup 22 and the magnetic suction cup 21 are slidably arranged in the center slide hole 19. The liquid storage chamber 14 is arranged on the positioning cylinder 12, and the piston cup 23 is engaged and slidably arranged in the liquid storage chamber 14.

[0053] When the two magnetic chucks 21 are brought close to each other, the magnetic attraction between them causes them to slide toward each other, thereby squeezing out the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 14 and achieving power transmission control of the hydraulic clutch mechanism 3 .

[0054] The magnetic unlocking assembly 10 includes a lock tongue 15, a steering column 16, a magnetic column 17 and a limit ring 18. The lock tongue 15 is engaged and slidably arranged in the slide groove 56. The steering column 16 is fixed in the eccentric slide hole 20. A linkage rope 24 is provided between the lock tongue 15 and the magnetic column 17. The linkage rope 24 passes around the steering column 16. The magnetic column 17 is slidably arranged in the eccentric slide hole 20. The limit ring 18 is fixed in the eccentric slide hole 20. A reset spring 25 is provided between the limit ring 18 and the magnetic column 17.

[0055] The position of the center slide rod 13 can be restricted by the lock tongue 15, and whether the center slide rod 13 is unlocked can be controlled by the magnetic columns 17 distributed on the outside; compared with only setting the magnetic push component 9, the positioning accuracy of the dual magnetic positioning mechanism 2 can be significantly improved, avoiding the problem of the hydraulic clutch mechanism 3 being triggered to engage as soon as the two groups of center slide rods 13 approach each other.

[0056] The hydraulic clutch mechanism 3 includes a rotating assembly 26 , an extrusion assembly 27 and a driving assembly 28 . The rotating assembly 26 is arranged in the driving assembly 28 , the extrusion assembly 27 is arranged in the rotating assembly 26 , and the driving assembly 28 is arranged on the workpiece clamping assembly 1 .

[0057] The rotating assembly 26 includes a coupling box 29, a coupling main shaft 30 and a sliding coupling piece 31. The coupling box 29 is arranged in the driving assembly 28. The coupling box 29 and the liquid storage chambers 14 at both ends are connected by pipes. The coupling main shaft 30 is rotatably arranged in the coupling box 29. The coupling main shaft 30 is provided with a cylindrical portion 39 and a polygonal sliding portion 40. The sliding coupling piece 31 is engaged and slidably arranged on the polygonal sliding portion 40. The sliding coupling piece 31 is provided with a rotating connecting groove 41.

[0058] The extrusion coupling assembly 27 includes a fixed coupling plate 32, a clutch piston 33 and a separation spring 34. The fixed coupling plate 32 is fixedly connected to the sliding welding mechanism 4. The clutch piston 33 is engaged and slidably arranged between the coupling box 29 and the cylindrical portion 39. The separation spring 34 is arranged between the clutch piston 33 and the coupling box 29. The protrusion of the separation spring 34 is rotatably connected to the rotating connection groove 41.

[0059] By controlling the engagement and separation of the fixed engaging piece 32 and the sliding engaging piece 31, it is possible to control whether the driving component 28 can drive the sliding welding mechanism 4; thereby achieving the technical purpose of starting the welding process only after the relative position adjustment of the sheet metal workpiece 8 is completed; by designing the flow rate of the transmission fluid, the sliding engaging piece 31 and the fixed engaging piece 32 can be squeezed and combined only after the central sliding rods 13 at both ends are completely adsorbed.

[0060] The driving assembly 28 includes a motor base 35, a driving motor 36, a driving gear 37 and a driven gear 38. The motor base 35 is arranged on the crossbeam 6. The driving motor 36 and the coupling box 29 are engaged and arranged in the motor base 35. The driving gear 37 is arranged on the output shaft of the driving motor 36. The driven gear 38 is arranged on the cylindrical part 39. The driving gear 37 and the driven gear 38 are engaged and transmitted.

[0061] When in use, the user first needs to clamp and fix the clamping bracket 5. The adsorption device 7 can choose a suction cup or magnetic attraction scheme, and select a welding gun 54 with a safety protection function. This type of welding gun 54 can only weld when it slides relative to the workpiece, and cannot weld when it does not move relative to the workpiece; then adjust the position of the device and the sheet metal workpiece 8. After the relative position of the two sheet metal workpieces 8 is adjusted, welding can be carried out. During the adjustment process, the dual magnetic positioning mechanism 2 can provide feedback on whether the relative position of the two sheet metal workpieces 8 is in place. The process is as follows:

[0062] After the two sheet metal workpieces 8 are fitted together, it is only necessary to adjust the position within the plane. Since the two points can determine the position within the plane, when the relative magnetic suction cups 21 overlap, the mutual attraction between the two can cause the piston disc 23 to slide, thereby pushing the liquid in the liquid storage chamber 14 into the coupling box 29. However, since a certain pressure is required to push the liquid, the magnetic suction cups 21 need to be of a certain size. Therefore, in order to avoid the relative magnetic suction cups 21 partially overlapping and triggering sliding before being coaxial, the magnetic pushing component 9 needs to be locked by the magnetic unlocking component 10.

[0063] Since the magnetic column 17 only needs to drive the lock tongue 15 to slide, the diameter of the magnetic column 17 can be very small, and the positioning accuracy will naturally be higher. When all the surrounding magnetic columns 17 are aligned and adsorbed, the magnetic column 17 pulls the lock tongue 15 through the linkage rope 24, thereby unlocking the locking disk 22. At this time, the center slide rod 13 will slide in the center slide hole 19.

[0064] After the liquid enters the coupling box 29 from the liquid storage chamber 14, it pushes the clutch piston 33 to cause the sliding coupling piece 31 to slide toward the fixed coupling piece 32. Due to the design of the liquid flow rate, when only the liquid storage chamber 14 at one end supplies liquid toward the coupling box 29, it is insufficient to press the sliding coupling piece 31 and the fixed coupling piece 32 together. Only when the liquid storage chambers 14 at both ends supply liquid toward the coupling box 29 will the sliding coupling piece 31 and the fixed coupling piece 32 contact and be squeezed.

[0065] Before the fixed coupling piece 32 and the sliding coupling piece 31 are coupled, even if the drive motor 36 is started, the transmission screw 45 will not be driven to rotate. After the fixed coupling piece 32 and the sliding coupling piece 31 are coupled, the drive motor 36 is started, and the transmission screw 45 will follow the rotation. Through the transmission of the transmission screw 45 and the nut 46 and the guidance of the guide rail 48 and the slider 49, the rotation of the transmission screw 45 can carry the slide 47 and the telescopic tracking assembly 43 to slide along the intersection of the two sheet metal workpieces 8.

[0066] If the intersection line of the two sheet metal workpieces 8 is not a straight line but a gentle curve, the end of the welding gun 54 used for welding can always slide along the edge of a sheet metal workpiece 8 under the guidance of the guide rod 55 and the elastic force of the tracking spring 52, thereby achieving the technical effect of the welding gun 54 sliding along the actual edge of the sheet metal workpiece 8 when the slide plate 47 slides along the straight line.

[0067] After welding is completed, the welded sheet metal workpiece 8 only needs to be removed by the robot arm of the next process, and the double magnetic positioning mechanism 2 can be separated by moving the workpiece clamping assembly 1 away. At this time, the magnetic column 17 will be reset under the elastic force of the reset spring 25, and the lock tongue 15 can be reset by the linkage rope 24, or the reset spring 25 can be set at the end of the lock tongue 15 and the slide groove 56 to reset the lock tongue 15 and the magnetic column 17 at the same time; then the sliding coupling plate 31 and the clutch piston 33 will move away from the fixed coupling plate 32 under the elastic force of the separation spring 34, and at the same time the clutch piston 33 pushes the liquid in the coupling box 29 back into the two liquid storage chambers 14, and at the same time the center slide rod 13 is reset.
