Specific implementation manners
[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 of the embodiments.
[0021] Embodiment 1, please refer to Figures 1 - 5 , a refrigerator hinge automatic welding device, including: A welding table 100, inside which a welding head 200 driven by an electric push rod one is assembled, and a clamping seat 500 is slidably connected inside the welding table 100; A servo motor 300, which is assembled on the side of the welding table 100, and the output shaft side of the servo motor 300 is fixedly connected with a reciprocating lead screw 400, and the outside of the reciprocating lead screw 400 is connected to the clamping seat 500 through a set thread; A positioning plate 601 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping seat 500, and a clamping plate 603 is connected to the side of the positioning plate 601 through an elastic telescopic rod 601. Place the refrigerator hinge on the welding table 100, start the servo motor 300 to drive the reciprocating lead screw 400 to rotate. The two clamping seats 500 threadedly assembled on the reciprocating lead screw 400 then move towards each other horizontally, driving the positioning plate 601 assembled on the clamping seat 500 to move, so that the positioning plate 601 drives the elastic telescopic rod 602 connected thereto to move synchronously. The elastic telescopic rod 602 synchronously drives the clamping plate 603 to move, and the clamping plate 603 at the side position of the refrigerator hinge can preliminarily clamp the refrigerator hinge.
[0022] A torsion spring rod 607 is rotatably connected to the side of the clamping plate 603. A limiting plate 608 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the torsion spring rod 607. Transmission is carried out between the positioning plate 601 and the limiting plate 608 through a transmission member. The transmission member includes a hydraulic chamber 604 assembled on the side of the clamping plate 603. One end of the hydraulic chamber 604 is slidably connected to a force receiving rod 605. The force receiving rod 605 is located at the side position of the positioning plate 601 and is in contact with the positioning plate 601. After the refrigerator hinge is preliminarily clamped, when the clamping seat 500 drives the positioning plate 601 to continue moving, the clamping plate 603 cannot continue to move due to the restriction of the refrigerator hinge, so that the positioning plate 601 presses the force receiving rod 605 and drives the force receiving rod 605 to slide into the hydraulic chamber 604, increasing the pressure in the hydraulic chamber 604.
[0023] The other end of the hydraulic chamber 604 is slidably connected to a transmission rod 606. The transmission rod 606 is located at the side position of the limiting plate 608 and is fixed to the limiting plate 608. When the pressure in the hydraulic chamber 604 increases, it can drive the transmission rod 606 slidably connected to the hydraulic chamber 604 to move, so that the transmission rod 606 drives the limiting plate 608 and the torsion spring rod 607 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, to clamp and position the front and rear sides of the refrigerator hinge. Then start the first electric push rod to drive the welding head 200 driven by the first electric push rod to move downward to perform corresponding automatic welding operations on the refrigerator hinge. In this way, the possibility of deformation of the refrigerator hinge during the welding operation can be reduced, making the use of the device more stable.
[0024] After the welding operation is completed, start the servo motor 300 to drive the reciprocating lead screw 400 to rotate in the reverse direction for resetting, so that the limiting plate 608 and the torsion spring rod 607 lose the restriction, and the torsion spring rod 607 can rotate in the reverse direction under its own action for resetting. Facilitating the next use of the device.
[0025] An auxiliary cleaning component 700 for cleaning welding slag is assembled inside the welding table 100, and an auxiliary clamping component 800 for clamping the refrigerator hinge is assembled on the side of the clamping plate 603.
[0026] During use, place the refrigerator hinge on the welding table 100, start the servo motor 300, drive the reciprocating lead screw 400 to rotate. The two clamping seats 500 threadedly assembled on the reciprocating lead screw 400 then move towards each other in the horizontal direction, driving the positioning plate 601 assembled on the clamping seat 500 to move, causing the positioning plate 601 to drive the first elastic telescopic rod 602 connected thereto to move synchronously. The first elastic telescopic rod 602 synchronously drives the clamping plate 603 to move. The clamping plate 603 at the side position of the refrigerator hinge can then perform preliminary clamping on the refrigerator hinge; the clamping seat 500 drives the positioning plate 601 to continue moving. At this time, the clamping plate 603 cannot continue to move due to the restriction of the refrigerator hinge, causing the positioning plate 601 to squeeze the first force rod 605 and drive the first force rod 605 to slide into the first hydraulic chamber 604, increasing the pressure inside the first hydraulic chamber 604, driving the transmission rod 606 slidably connected to the first hydraulic chamber 604 to move, causing the transmission rod 606 to drive the limiting plate 608 and the torsion spring rod 607 fixedly connected thereto to rotate, to perform clamping and positioning on the front and rear sides of the refrigerator hinge. Subsequently, start the first electric push rod, drive the welding head 200 driven by the first electric push rod to move downward, to perform corresponding automatic welding operations on the refrigerator hinge; after the welding operation is completed, enable the servo motor 300, drive the reciprocating lead screw 400 to rotate in the reverse direction for resetting, so that the limiting plate 608 and the torsion spring rod 607 are no longer restricted, and the torsion spring rod 607 can then rotate in the reverse direction under its own action for resetting.
[0027] Example 2, please refer to Figures 1 - 7, on the basis of the first embodiment, the auxiliary cleaning component 700 includes a moving rod 701 driven by an electric push rod two. A cleaning brush 702 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the moving rod 701. A hydraulic chamber two 703 and a hydraulic chamber three 704 are respectively assembled on the side surface of the welding table 100. A force receiving rod two 705 is slidably connected to the side surface of the hydraulic chamber two 703. The force receiving rod two 705 is located at the side position of the clamping seat 500 and is in contact with the clamping seat 500. A connecting rod 706 is slidably connected to the side surfaces of the hydraulic chamber two 703 and the hydraulic chamber three 704. A first spring 707 is assembled on the side surface of the connecting rod 706. One end of the first spring 707 away from the connecting rod 706 is assembled on the inner wall of the hydraulic chamber two 703. During the welding operation, the electric push rod two is started to drive the moving rod 701 driven by the electric push rod two to reciprocate horizontally, so that the moving rod 701 drives the cleaning brush 702 fixedly connected thereto to reciprocate horizontally synchronously to clean part of the welding slag falling on the welding table 100. In the case of the welding operation, the two clamping seats 500 have completed the inward movement, so that the force receiving rod two 705 in contact with the clamping seat 500 and restricted by the clamping seat 500 loses the restriction. Cooperating with the hydraulic chamber two 703 slidably connected to the force receiving rod two 705, the connecting rod 706 slidably connected to the hydraulic chamber two 703 loses the restriction and moves into the hydraulic chamber two 703 under the action of the first spring 707.
[0028] A pressing plate 708 is slidably connected to one end of the hydraulic chamber three 704 away from the connecting rod 706. The top of the cleaning brush 702 is connected to a force receiving plate 710 through an elastic telescopic rod two 709. The force receiving plate 710 is located at the bottom position of the pressing plate 708 and is in contact with the pressing plate 708. When the connecting rod 706 moves into the hydraulic chamber two 703 under the action of the first spring 707, cooperating with the hydraulic chamber three 704 slidably connected to the connecting rod 706, the pressure in the hydraulic chamber three 704 increases, driving the pressing plate 708 slidably connected to the hydraulic chamber three 704 to move downward, so that the pressing plate 708 presses the force receiving plate 710 and applies an additional force to the cleaning brush 702 through the elastic telescopic rod two 709. The cleaning effect of the device on the welding slag is improved.
[0029] In use, on the basis of the first embodiment, when performing the welding operation, the second electric push rod is started to drive the moving rod 701 driven by the second electric push rod to reciprocate horizontally, so that the moving rod 701 drives the cleaning brush 702 fixedly connected thereto to synchronously reciprocate horizontally to clean part of the welding slag falling on the welding table 100. When performing the welding operation, the two clamping seats 500 have completed moving towards each other, so that the second stress rod 705 in contact with the clamping seat 500 and restricted by the clamping seat 500 loses the restriction. In cooperation with the second hydraulic chamber 703 slidably connected to the second stress rod 705, the connecting rod 706 slidably connected to the second hydraulic chamber 703 loses the restriction and moves into the second hydraulic chamber 703 under the action of the first spring 707. In cooperation with the third hydraulic chamber 704 slidably connected to the connecting rod 706, the pressure in the third hydraulic chamber 704 increases, driving the pressing plate 708 slidably connected to the third hydraulic chamber 704 to move downward, so that the pressing plate 708 presses the stress plate 710 and applies an additional force to the cleaning brush 702 through the second elastic telescopic rod 709.

When the pressure in the third hydraulic chamber 704 increases, the oil in the third hydraulic chamber 704 immediately flows into the hose 802, so that the oil stored in the hose 802 flows into the fourth hydraulic chamber 801.
[0031] An arc-shaped rod 803 is slidably connected to the side of the fourth hydraulic chamber 801, and an auxiliary clamping plate 804 is rotatably connected to the side of the clamping plate 603. The auxiliary clamping plate 804 is located on the side of the arc-shaped rod 803 and is fixed to the arc-shaped rod 803. When the oil stored in the hose 802 flows into the fourth hydraulic chamber 801, the oil stored in the fourth hydraulic chamber 801 immediately flows towards the arc-shaped rod 803, driving the arc-shaped rod 803 slidably connected to the fourth hydraulic chamber 801 to move, thereby driving the auxiliary clamping plate 804 fixedly connected to the arc-shaped rod 803 to rotate.

[0032] In use, on the basis of the first and second embodiments, when the pressure in the third hydraulic chamber 704 increases, the hydraulic fluid in the third hydraulic chamber 704 immediately flows into the hose 802, causing the hydraulic fluid stored in the hose 802 to flow into the fourth hydraulic chamber 801. The hydraulic fluid stored in the fourth hydraulic chamber 801 then flows towards the arc-shaped rod 803, driving the movement of the arc-shaped rod 803 slidably connected to the fourth hydraulic chamber 801, thereby driving the rotation of the auxiliary clamping plate 804 fixedly connected to the arc-shaped rod 803.
