Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of robotic welding, and specifically to a welding tooling for the manufacture of industrial robots. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous progress and development of society, robots play an increasingly important role in people's lives. Technicians have manufactured many robots to replace human labor for operations, which not only saves human labor but also effectively improves work efficiency. The manufacturing process of robots requires a large number of welding processes for welding and assembling the robots. During welding, precise positioning is required because even a tiny error can cause the robot to fail to move along the set motion trajectory, resulting in the produced robot being unable to be used normally. This places extremely strict requirements on the positioning of the welding tooling.

Four corners of the lower surface of the fixed bottom plate are fixedly connected with support legs. Electric push rods are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of the upper surface of the fixed bottom plate. A driving motor is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixed bottom plate, and the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected with a rotating disk. For this welding tooling for the manufacture of industrial robots, the rotating motor drives the rotating gear and the moving rack plate to drive the second push rod, the first push rod, and the sliding frame to move inward and cooperate with the transmission track to clamp and stabilize the robot components, having a better clamping and stabilizing effect on the robot components, and the clamping operation is simpler and more convenient. After analyzing the above tooling, it can be found that its main function is to clamp and position the workpiece to be welded. Moreover, for the complex structure of the robot, the welding positions are complex and of various types. For the welding device, when controlling the movement of the welding end, extremely high movement requirements are needed. However, the existing welding movement is usually achieved through manual adjustment, electric drive, pneumatic / hydraulic drive, or a track and slide system, etc. There are certain limitations in the operation of the above drive methods, and there is a problem of insufficient flexibility; For example: manual adjustment, the skills of the operator affect the accuracy and consistency, and it is difficult to adapt to high-complexity or high-precision workpieces; electric drive, through the motor driving the ball screw, synchronous belt or gear to achieve high-precision linear or rotational movement, the layout of the track or screw is fixed, and it is difficult for the physical structure of the tooling to be quickly reconstructed, etc.; In view of the above existing problems, the present technical solution proposes a welding tooling for the manufacture of industrial robots.

[0025] In the embodiment of the present invention, a plurality of mounting plates 51 are evenly installed at the bottom of the welding table frame 10, and are connected to brackets, mounting plates or other supporting structures through the mounting plates 51, so as to adjust the installation operation position or height of the welding table frame 10; Through holes are provided on the non-fully open side of the welding table frame 10, and protective glass can be installed as needed, which can ensure that the welding process of the industrial robot on the welding table 11 can be directly observed through the protective glass, while preventing dangerous substances during welding from splashing outwards. At the same time, the protective glass can be set with an anti-dizziness function to reduce the damage to the eyes of the observer caused by the stimulating light during welding; The access passage 12 is set as a transmission passage for transferring the industrial robot.

Specifically, in the actual process of fixing the industrial robot, it can be selected adaptively according to the specific size and shape of the industrial robot, and it will not be elaborated here.
[0026] In an example of the present invention, the welding mechanism includes a welding gun body 16 installed at the bottom of the welding gun base 14. A driving mechanism 15 is connected to the top of the welding gun body 16. At the same time, a cooling system, a wire feeding mechanism and an electrical system are also provided on the welding gun base 14; The welding gun body 16 includes a contact tip, a nozzle, an insulating housing, etc. The cooling system includes water-cooled or air-cooled pipes (to prevent damage caused by high temperature). The wire feeding mechanism: connected to the wire reel, pushing the welding wire through a motor. The electrical system: welding power source, control cable and signal feedback module; The welding gun body 16 is fixed at a predetermined position through a fixture or bracket to ensure the relative position of the end (contact tip) of the welding gun body 16 and the weld of the workpiece (industrial robot, the same below), energy transfer and arc control; Arc generation: After the welding wire is energized, it contacts the workpiece and short-circuits, igniting the arc, and the welding wire continues to melt.
[0027] Parameter regulation: The welding power supply outputs current and voltage according to the settings to control the penetration depth and weld formation (such as regulating the heat input in pulsed welding).
[0028] Wire feeding and shielding gas: Wire feeding synchronization (only for MIG / MAG): The motor pushes the welding wire at a set speed, matching the melting rate of the arc to avoid arc interruption or wire accumulation.
[0029] Gas shielding: Inert gas (such as Ar / CO2) covers the molten pool through the nozzle to prevent oxidation (the gas type and flow rate need to match the process).
[0030] Process coordination: When the welding torch body 16 is fixed, it depends on the movement of the workpiece (such as the rotation of the positioner or the sliding of the translation table) or the coordination of multiple torches to complete long welds or complex paths.
[0031] Timing control: Synchronize with the automation system (PLC or robot controller) to trigger the start and stop of welding and the early / late release of gas; The above is only a simple explanation of the operation process of the welding torch body 16 and its components. Since it belongs to the prior art, it will not be elaborated here, but it does not affect the integrity of the technical solution.
[0032] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the Y-direction moving component I 17, the Y-direction moving component II 18, the Z-direction moving component 19, and the X-direction moving component 20 all include an electrically driven moving unit installed on the inner wall of the welding table frame 10 and a swinging unit connected between the electrically driven moving unit and the welding gun base 14. The electrically driven moving unit can move along the X-direction, Y-direction, or Z-direction, and then cooperate with the swinging unit to adjust the position of the welding gun base 14; Among them, the swinging units in the Y-direction moving component I 17, the Y-direction moving component II 18, and the X-direction moving component 20 are longitudinally swing-rotatedly connected to the corresponding welding gun base 14 by a swinging connecting piece I, and the swinging unit in the Z-direction moving component 19 is transversely swing-rotatedly connected to the corresponding welding gun base 14 by a swinging connecting piece II; The electrically driven moving units in the Y-direction moving component I 17, the Y-direction moving component II 18, the Z-direction moving component 19, and the X-direction moving component 20 are the same. Among them, refer to Figures 5 - 7, taking the electric drive mobile unit at the Y-direction mobile component Ⅰ 17 as an example for illustration, the electric drive mobile unit includes two motor substrates 21 which are fixed on the side wall of the welding table frame 10 by fixing bolts 22 and are distributed at intervals. A transmission belt 28 is rotatably arranged between the two motor substrates 21. One end of the transmission belt 28 is rotatably connected to a servo motor 23, and the other end is rotatably connected to a pulley 26. Both ends of the pulley 26 are rotatably connected to pulley seats 27 fixed on the motor substrate 21. By starting the servo motor 23 to drive the rotation of its output shaft, the transmission belt 28 is controlled to rotate between the output shaft and the pulley 26. A transmission pulley is arranged on the output shaft of the servo motor 23 to maintain the stability of rotation; Two sliding rods 25 are symmetrically arranged between the two motor substrates 21 on both sides of the transmission belt 28. Both ends of the sliding rods 25 are rotatably connected in sliding rod seats 24 fixed on the motor substrate 21. A set of sliding disks 29 are slidably arranged along the length direction on the sliding rods 25 and the transmission belt 28. The sliding disks 29 are installed between the sliding rods 25 and the transmission belt 28 by fastening components. The middle part of the outer side of the sliding disks 29 is connected to the swing unit; Among them, the swing connecting piece Ⅰ includes a connecting shaft frame 42 installed on the outer side wall of the sliding disk 29. A longitudinal swing rod Ⅰ 30 is rotatably connected in the connecting shaft frame 42 through a swing shaft. An L-shaped swing connecting block 31 is installed at the end of the longitudinal swing rod Ⅰ 30. The end of the L-shaped swing connecting block 31 is rotatably connected to a longitudinal swing rod Ⅱ 32 through a swing shaft. A U-shaped connecting shaft frame 33 is installed at the end of the longitudinal swing rod Ⅱ 32 through a connecting plate. The end of the U-shaped connecting shaft frame 33 is rotatably connected to a connecting block 34 through a swing shaft. The end of the connecting block 34 is rotatably connected to an angular extension block Ⅰ 35 fixed on the angular side wall of the welding gun base 14 through a rotating shaft 37. That is, by using the swing connection between the two ends of the longitudinal swing rod Ⅰ 30 and the connecting shaft frame 42 and the longitudinal swing rod Ⅱ 32, the rotational connection between the bottom end of the longitudinal swing rod Ⅱ 32 and the U-shaped connecting shaft frame 33 and the connecting block 34, and the rotational connection between the connecting block 34 and the angular extension block Ⅰ 35, the movement control of the welding gun base 14 in the X and Y directions is realized. Then, with the cooperation between the swing connecting piece Ⅰ on the Y-direction mobile component Ⅱ 18 and the X-direction mobile component 20, the stable transfer of the welding gun base 14 in the X and Y directions is maintained; The swing connecting member II includes a connecting shaft bracket 42 swing-connected to the outer side wall of the sliding disk 29 inside the Z-direction moving assembly 19. The connecting shaft bracket 42 is swing-connected outwardly with a transverse swing rod II 40. An L-shaped swing connecting block 31 is installed at the end of the transverse swing rod II 40. The end of the L-shaped swing connecting block 31 is swing-connected with a transverse swing rod I 39 through a swing shaft. An angular extension block II 38 is installed at the end of the transverse swing rod I 39 through a connecting plate. A U-shaped connecting shaft bracket 33 is installed on one side of the angular extension block II 38. One side of the U-shaped connecting shaft bracket 33 is rotationally connected with the angular extension block II 38 through a swing shaft. The angular extension block II 38 is fixedly installed on the angular side wall of the welding gun base 14. That is, through the swing connection between the angular extension block II 38 and the U-shaped connecting shaft bracket 33, the swing connection between the transverse swing rod I 39 and the transverse swing rod II 40, and the swing connection between the transverse swing rod II 40 and the sliding disk 29, etc., the rotation control of the welding gun base 14 and the movement adjustment in the Z direction are realized. Thus, under the overall cooperation of the swing connecting member I, the swing connecting member II and the electric drive moving unit, the welding mechanism on the welding gun base 14 can be flexibly adjusted in all-round angular positions; Among them, the servo motor 23 is electrically connected to the control panel 13, and the operation process is as follows: Instruction issuance: The control panel 13 sets the target position, speed or torque parameters, and sends them to the servo motor 23 driver through a communication bus or an analog signal; Closed-loop control: The driver reads the actual position / speed of the motor fed back by the encoder in real time, compares it with the command value, adjusts the output current (torque) through the PID algorithm, and drives the servo motor 23 to rotate.
[0033] Dynamic response: The servo motor 23 accelerates / decelerates according to the command, the encoder continuously feeds back signals, and the driver dynamically corrects the error (such as increasing the current when the load suddenly changes).
[0034] Status monitoring: The control panel 13 displays real-time data (such as rotational speed, position deviation, alarm code), and supports manual intervention (such as emergency stop, parameter adjustment); The above operation control of the control panel 13 and the servo motor 23 is only briefly described. For the specific content, connection relationship and operation principle, reference can be made to the existing relevant technologies, and details are not elaborated here.
[0035] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figures 8 - 9, the fastening assembly includes two sleeves 43 mounted on the side wall of the sliding disk 29 on one side of the relative connecting shaft frame 42. The sleeves 43 are correspondingly sleeved on the sliding rods 25. A set of U-shaped positioning disks 44 fixed on the side wall of the sliding disk 29 are arranged between the two sliding rods 25. A clamping member is arranged on the opening side of the U-shaped positioning disk 44. The clamping member is fixedly clamped on the transmission belt 28. By using the rotational movement of the transmission belt 28 and the fixation of the clamping member, the sliding disk 29 is driven to move synchronously with the transmission belt 28, so as to realize the transfer of the sliding disk 29 in the X, Y, and Z directions; The clamping member includes a T-shaped chute 45 opened in the inner side of the opening of the U-shaped positioning disk 44. A slider is slidably arranged in the T-shaped chute 45. A fastening plate 46 is installed between the two side sliders. A screw rod 47 is rotatably connected to the middle of each side slider in a limited manner. One end of the screw rod 47 far from the sliding disk 29 extends outward through the top wall of the T-shaped chute 45 and is installed with a turning handle 48. That is, by rotating the turning handle 48, the movement of the screw rod 47 is controlled, and then the movement of the fastening plate 46 is controlled under the limited rotational connection with the fastening plate 46. At this time, one side of the transmission belt 28 is placed between the fastening plate 46 and the sliding disk 29, so as to clamp and fix it and keep the sliding disk 29 moving synchronously with the transmission belt 28; Specifically, reinforcing ribs 49 and reinforcing rib grooves 50 are respectively arranged on the sides of the fastening plate 46, the sliding disk 29 and the transmission belt 28 in contact, that is, the clamping friction force with the transmission belt 28 is increased, so as to increase the clamping stability.

[0037] Welding instruction input: Set the welding path through the control panel 13 and start the welding mechanism including the welding torch body 16 and the driving mechanism 15.
[0038] Spatial position adjustment: Y-direction movement: The servo motor 23 drives the transmission belt 28 to rotate, driving the sliding disk 29 to move along the sliding rod 25; the sliding disk 29 pushes the welding gun base 14 to translate along the Y-axis through the longitudinal swing rod I 30, the L-shaped swing connection block 31, the longitudinal swing rod II 32, the U-shaped connection shaft frame 33 and the connection block 34.
[0039] X / Z Axis Movement: The X-axis movement component 20 works in the same way and cooperates with the Z-axis movement component 19. Among them, the Z-axis component realizes the lifting and horizontal rotation of the welding torch through the horizontal swing rod II 40, the horizontal swing rod I 39 and the angle extension block II 38.
