It should be noted that the working direction of the sliding seat 3 is horizontal movement, that is, the first welding clamping mechanism as a whole moves horizontally and approaches the second welding clamping mechanism, so that the end of one bar approaches the end of another bar, thereby facilitating welding operation. In this embodiment, the electric telescopic rod 4 is vertically arranged and used to drive the first clamp 5 to move vertically, and the working direction of the first clamp 5 and the second clamp 6 is vertical, thereby achieving clamping of the bar.
[0034] The rack 1 is also provided with a flash mechanism (prior art, not shown in the figure), which is arranged between the first welding clamping mechanism and the second welding clamping mechanism and comprises a welding head arranged on the rack 1. The welding current generated by the welding head passes through the bar to generate resistance heat, gradually heating and melting the end face of the bar to form a flash. During the flash process, the metal of the end face of the bar on the first welding clamping mechanism and the metal of the end face of the bar on the second welding clamping mechanism melt and spray to form a liquid metal beam.

[0040] Specifically, the fixed box 9 is arranged on one side of the first welding clamping mechanism, and a through hole 11 is formed in the fixed box 9, the through hole 11 extends to both sides of the fixed box 9 respectively, the rotating seat 10 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed box 9, and the rotating cylinder 2 is rotatably connected to the other side of the fixed box 9; the distance between the rotating seat 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 can be adjusted by the axial movement of the rotating cylinder, and the rotating seat 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 are both cylindrical bodies with the same inner diameter; when the rod is inserted into the rotating cylinder 2 first, it is inserted into the rotating seat 10, and the position of the rod is limited by the vertical bottom wall of the rotating seat 10, so that the rod cannot slide horizontally, so that the two rods cannot move axially when the first welding clamping mechanism clamps one rod and the other rod for butt welding, thereby completing the butt welding preparation operation between the two rods; it should be noted that a plurality of balls (not shown in the figure) are preferably arranged in the rotating cylinder 2, so that when the rod is inserted into the rotating cylinder 2, the balls are in rolling contact with the outer surface of the rod, so that when the rotating cylinder 2 rotates, the rod does not rotate with it, but is in a stationary state, so that after butt welding is completed, the rotating cylinder 2 is rotated to facilitate cutting and subsequent polishing of the annular protrusion on the rod;
[0041] The rotating seat 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 are drivingly connected by a sliding rod 12, and several rod members can be optionally provided for transmission to improve the stability of transmission, the two ends of the rod member are connected to the rotating seat 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 respectively, and at least one end is sliding, so that when the rotating seat 10 rotates, the rotating cylinder 2 is passively rotated to realize synchronous rotation of the two, that is, the laser cutting head 14 at the end of the rotating cylinder 2 is rotated to cut the annular protrusion of the two rods in rotation (annular); it should be noted that the slot of the sliding groove 13 is matched with the diameter of the laser cutting head 14, so that when the rotating cylinder 2 slides horizontally to enter the polishing position, the laser cutting head 14 can slide into the inside of the sliding groove 13, so that the annular polishing part 15 at the end of the rotating cylinder 2 is not blocked by the laser cutting head 14, and is completely displayed; in the embodiment, an annular inclined surface is formed on the annular polishing part 15 as a polishing surface, the annular inclined surface polishes the welding tumor formed after the annular protrusion is cut, so that the polished welding tumor can smoothly enter the inside of the rotating cylinder 2, that is, the volume of the polished welding tumor meets the production requirements;
[0042] In this embodiment, the ring gear 16 is engaged with the transmission gear 17, so that by driving the rotation of the ring gear 16, the rotating seat 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 are synchronously rotated in the inside of the fixed box 9, and the laser cutting head 14 is also synchronously rotated, so as to rotate and cut the annular protrusion formed by the butt welding of the two bars;
[0043] The end of the push plate 21 is matched with the annular groove 19, when the rotating cylinder 2 rotates, the end of the push plate 21 slides in the inside of the annular groove 19, and when the electric cylinder 20 is started, the push plate 21 is driven to move horizontally, so as to drive the rotating cylinder 2 to move horizontally while keeping rotating, so as to drive the annular polishing part 15 on the rotating cylinder 2 to approach and abut on the weld bead formed after cutting, so as to polish it;
[0044] In the above description, the rotating cylinder 2 has two working strokes:
[0045] When the rotating cylinder 2 is in the first working stroke, that is, the rotating cylinder 2 is driven to rotate, so as to drive the laser cutting head 14 on the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate, at this time, the laser cutting head 14 is also started to emit cutting laser, so as to rotate and cut the annular protrusion formed by the butt welding of the two bars;
[0046] When the rotating cylinder 2 is in the second working stroke, that is, the rotating cylinder 2 is driven to move horizontally while rotating, so as to make the annular polishing part 15 at the end of the rotating cylinder 2 abut on the weld bead after cutting, so as to polish it;
[0047] Specifically, when switching from the first working stroke to the second working stroke, the electric cylinder 20 is started to drive the push plate 21 to slide horizontally, so as to push the rotating cylinder 2 to slide horizontally while rotating, in this process, the annular protrusion formed by the butt welding of the two bars is cut and the weld bead after cutting is polished;
[0048] In the above description, the switching action from the first working stroke to the second working stroke is switched by the electric cylinder 20, specifically, before welding, first, the positions of the two bars are placed, one of which is inserted into the inside of the rotating cylinder 2 and continues to be pushed until the bar enters the inside of the rotating seat 10 (at this time, the bar cannot be pushed again), then the other bar is placed on the second clamp 6, the first clamp 5 is driven to move downward by starting the electric telescopic rod 4 to clamp and fix the other bar, then the sliding seat 3 is driven to slide on the rack 1 by starting the hydraulic cylinder 7, so as to drive the end of one bar to approach the end of the other bar, in this process, the end faces of the two bars are gradually heated and melted by starting the flash mechanism, and approach each other, so as to weld the end faces of the two bars together, and during the welding process, an annular protrusion is formed.
[0049] When cutting the annular protrusion, the motor 23 is started to drive the transmission gear 17 on the output shaft of the motor 23 to drive the annular gear 16 on the rotating seat 10 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating seat 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate synchronously, that is, driving the laser cutting head 14 to rotate, starting the laser cutting head 14, and thereby cutting the annular protrusion;
[0050] When cutting is completed and polishing is performed, in the process of rotating the rotating cylinder 2, that is, driving the push plate 21 to move relatively in the annular groove 19, when the electric cylinder 20 is started, the push plate 21 is driven to move horizontally, so as to realize that the rotating cylinder 2 moves horizontally while rotating, thereby driving the annular polishing part 15 to approach and abut on the weld bead formed after cutting, so as to polish it.
[0051] The beneficial effect of the embodiment is that one set of welding clamping mechanisms is integrated with the polishing function, so that the space between the two sets of welding clamping mechanisms is small, so that after welding is completed, sufficient space cannot be provided for polishing, which limits polishing, thereby affecting the normal polishing.
[0052] Further, referring to Figures 5-6 When the annular protrusion is cut, the waste generated after cutting is also annular in shape, and is sleeved on the surface of the bar, which is not convenient for subsequent processing.
[0053] Therefore, based on the above description, in order to avoid that the waste after cutting continues to stay on the surface of the bar, the embodiment provides an adjusting structure, the laser cutting head 14 is rotatably connected to the sliding rod 12 through the rotating shaft 24, the outer surface of the rotating shaft 24 is sleeved with a torsion spring 25, one end of the torsion spring 25 is connected to the rotating shaft 24, and the other end is connected to the sliding rod 12.
[0054] In the embodiment, the laser cutting head 14 has two working states:
[0055] When the laser cutting head 14 is in the first working state, that is, arranged in a horizontal state, the annular protrusion is cut through the rotation of the laser cutting head 14;
[0056] When the laser cutting head 14 is in the second working state, that is, arranged in an inclined state, the waste after cutting the annular protrusion is cut obliquely;
[0057] Specifically in cutting, by starting the motor 23, the transmission gear 17 on the output shaft of the motor 23 drives the annular gear 16 on the rotating seat 10 to rotate, thereby driving the rotating seat 10 and the rotating cylinder 2 to rotate synchronously, and driving the laser cutting head 14 to rotate, thereby cutting the annular protrusion. At this time, the waste produced after cutting the annular protrusion is also annular and is sleeved on the surface of the bar. At this time, the motor 23 is stopped, and the electric cylinder 20 is started to drive the push plate 21 to move horizontally. The moving direction is towards the rotating seat 10, so that the laser cutting head 14 moves out of the sliding groove 13. At this time, due to the limitation of the sliding groove 13, the laser cutting head 14 is passively rotated by the rebound of the torsional spring 25, that is, it is inclined and swings, thereby cutting the annular waste on the bar into two parts, and the waste is separated from the bar under the action of gravity.
[0058] When the cutting is completed, the electric cylinder 20 is started again to drive the push plate 21 to move reversely, and the laser cutting head 14 slides into the sliding groove 13 through the guidance of the annular polishing part 15. In this process, the laser cutting head 14 moves from the inclined state to the horizontal state, thereby performing the next annular cutting operation.
[0059] Further, please refer to Figures 7-9 In the above polishing process, the rotating cylinder 2 moves horizontally while rotating, so that the annular polishing part 15 approaches and abuts on the weld bead formed after cutting, thereby polishing the weld bead. However, when the annular polishing part 15 polishes, the generated debris is easy to enter the notch of the sliding groove 13 on the annular polishing part 15, so that the laser cutting head 14 cannot move out of the sliding groove 13, that is, the laser cutting head 14 is stuck in the moving process.
[0060] Therefore, based on the above description, in order to avoid the debris generated by polishing from entering the notch of the sliding groove 13, causing the laser cutting head 14 to be unable to move out of the sliding groove 13, resulting in the laser cutting head 14 being stuck in the moving process, the embodiment provides another adjusting structure, that is, a horizontal opening 26 is formed on each of the opposite sides of the rotating cylinder 2, which is used to provide space for the rotation of the laser cutting head 14, and the horizontal opening 26 is in communication with the sliding groove 13, and a connecting block 27 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove 13, an active groove 28 is formed in the inside of the connecting block 27, a trigger block 29 is slidably connected to the inside of the active groove 28, an extrusion spring 30 is connected to the trigger block 29, one end of the extrusion spring 30 is connected to one side of the inside of the active groove 28, and a protrusion 31 is connected to the rotating shaft 24. In the embodiment, the part of the annular polishing part 15 corresponding to the horizontal opening 26 is also an opening, that is, the annular polishing part 15 includes two arc segments, and the gap between the two arc segments is the horizontal opening 26.
[0061] Specifically, a first inclined surface is formed on the trigger block 29, a second inclined surface is formed on the protrusion 31, and the second inclined surface is matched with the first inclined surface to form a wedge-shaped fit. When the rotating cylinder 2 moves axially, the trigger block 29 is brought into abutment with the protrusion 31, and continues to abut against the protrusion 31, pushing the rotating shaft 24 to rotate, driving the laser cutting head 14 to rotate, so that it moves from a horizontal state to an inclined state, thus completing the cutting of the annular protrusion and the straight-line cutting of the annular waste material remaining on the bar, so that it is cut into two and separated from the bar; when the trigger block 29 continues to move and abuts through the protrusion 31, the trigger block 29 loses abutment with the protrusion 31, so that the laser cutting head 14 is restored to the horizontal state by the resilience of the torsional spring 25, and at the same time, with the axial movement of the rotating cylinder 2, the laser cutting head 14 moves away from the annular polishing part 15 and enters the inside of the horizontal opening 26, so as to avoid in the polishing process, and at the same time, in the polishing process, the waste material generated will fall out of the horizontal opening 26 formed in the rotating cylinder 2, so that the laser cutting head 14 will not be stuck in the moving path.
[0062] Specifically, when cutting the waste material generated after cutting the annular protrusion, the trigger block 29 is abutted against the protrusion 31 by the axial movement of the rotating cylinder 2, pushing the protrusion 31 to rotate, so that the rotating shaft 24 and the laser cutting head 14 rotate synchronously, that is, from a horizontal state to an inclined state, thereby cutting the annular waste material remaining on the bar in a straight line, so that it is cut into two and separated from the bar;
[0063] When the cutting is finished, the rotating cylinder 2 continues to move axially, so that the trigger block 29 slides against the protrusion 31, and after the two lose contact, the laser cutting head 14 is driven to rotate reversely by the rebound of the torsion spring 25, so as to change from the inclined state to the horizontal state; since the laser cutting head 14 is away from the annular polishing part 15 with the axial movement of the rotating cylinder 2, the laser cutting head 14 can avoid the annular polishing part 15 during the polishing process, and the waste generated during the polishing process can fall out of the horizontal opening 26 through the rotation of the rotating cylinder 2, so that the laser cutting head 14 will not be stuck in the moving path; the rotating cylinder 2 rotates and moves axially at the same time, so as to polish the welding bumps formed after cutting;
[0064] When the polishing is finished, the rotating cylinder 2 moves reversely, so that the first inclined surface on the trigger block 29 slides against the second inclined surface on the protrusion 31, and since the elastic coefficient of the compression spring 30 is smaller than that of the torsion spring 24, the first inclined surface on the trigger block 29 presses the second inclined surface on the protrusion 31, so as to push the trigger block 29 to slide and press the compression spring 30, so that the trigger block 29 slides through the protrusion 31, and during this process, the laser cutting head 14 will not be rotated until the rotating cylinder 2 returns to the initial position.
[0065] The above only describes some exemplary embodiments of the present application by way of illustration, and it is self-evident that those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the claims of the present application.
