Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding equipment technology, and more specifically to a combined welding equipment and welding processing method. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, welding is a process that uses heating or pressure to achieve atomic bonding between two sides or two components to form a permanent connection. Therefore, the ultimate goal of welding is to achieve the combination of two sides or two components. To facilitate actual welding operations, we propose a combined welding equipment and welding processing method.

[0003] A search revealed that Chinese patent application CN202311621382.5 discloses a laser welding device for a combination of a long cylindrical rod and an end cap. The device is broadly described as including two adjacent welding fixtures, a first welding fixture and a second welding fixture. Both fixtures include a tilting cylinder connected to a fixed plate, which tilts the rod in a vertical plane. A first clamping plate is located on one side of the fixed plate, and a second clamping plate is located on the other side. Both clamping plates can move towards or away from the fixed plate. In use, the first welding fixture (VI) is moved to the loading position via a first rodless cylinder, with the long cylindrical rod's hole facing upwards. A limiting top plate is raised by a top plate cylinder. The long cylindrical rod is then manually lifted... The round rod workpiece is placed into the elongated rod hole of the first welding fixture VI. The first clamping plate cylinder and the second clamping plate cylinder respectively drive the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate to move towards the fixed plate, pressing the elongated rod workpiece. The flipping cylinder of the first welding fixture VI drives the first welding fixture VI to rotate 180°. The end cap workpiece is placed between the fixed plate and the first clamping plate, and the end cap workpiece is placed between the fixed plate and the second clamping plate. The end cap workpieces are placed into the end cap slots of the first welding fixture VI. The first rodless cylinder drives the first welding fixture VI to move from the loading position to the welding position. The X-axis module II, Y-axis module III, and Z-axis module IV drive the laser welding device V to move to the first welding fixture VI for welding.

[0004] While the aforementioned existing technical solutions can achieve the combination welding of components, in actual operation, the workpiece to be welded needs to be lifted as a whole and placed on the welding station of the equipment in order to form a welding operation. If the overall size of the workpiece to be welded is large or inconvenient to move, it is difficult to form a welding operation. At the same time, in order to increase the welding operation area, the size of the equipment itself also needs to be enlarged, which will also increase the equipment cost. Summary of the Invention

Multiple mounting cylinders 29 are fixedly connected to each of the two first clamping frames 13 and the two second clamping frames 14.Each of the multiple mounting cylinders 29 contains an electromagnet 30, which is matched with a plurality of permanent magnets 28. The design of the lifting clamping assembly facilitates the relative clamping of the combined traveling structure with respect to the target part to be welded, offering a variety of clamping modes and making it more practical.

[0041] In this embodiment, the first servo motor 8, the electric lifting rod 10, the second servo motor 21, the permanent magnet 28, the electric drive rod 37, the electric adjusting rod 38, and the drive motor 41 are all commercially available conventional devices known to those skilled in the art. In this invention, we are simply using them without making any improvements to their structure or function. Their setting methods, installation methods, and electrical connection methods can be easily understood by those skilled in the art by following the instructions for use, and will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In summary, the working principle of this combined welding equipment and welding method is as follows: Before use, control circuits are installed for the first servo motor 8, electric lifting rod 10, second servo motor 21, permanent magnet 28, electric drive rod 37, electric adjusting rod 38, and drive motor 41. During use, the lifting and clamping components are adjusted according to the specific structural form of the target part to be welded. During the adjustment process, the relative position between the main wheel frame 1 and the auxiliary wheel frame 2 is controlled so that the two lifting and clamping components have a matching relative clamping position with the target part to be welded. The relative position between the main wheel frame 1 and the auxiliary wheel frame 2 is adjusted accordingly. The electric drive rod 37 and the electric adjusting rod 38 work together to achieve the following: the electric drive rod 37 adjusts the relative position of the mounting plate 33 and the auxiliary plate 34, thereby adjusting the relative position of the two telescopic cylinders 31 relative to the two telescopic columns 32, and ultimately adjusting the relative distance between the main wheel frame 1 and the auxiliary wheel frame 2. The electric adjusting rod 38 rotates the mounting plate 33 relative to the telescopic cylinders 31 on which it is mounted, thereby adjusting the relative distance between the two telescopic cylinders 31, and ultimately adjusting the rotation of the auxiliary wheel frame 2 relative to the main wheel frame 1. (This is combined with the attached...) Figure 12 and attached Figure 13 This describes the application states of two lifting and clamping components, one of which is attached. Figure 13 In the case where the target component to be welded has a structure similar to a pipe, the two lifting clamping components in this single combined welding equipment are respectively distributed on both sides of the target component. The rotation of the lead screw shaft 20 is driven by the second servo motor 21. The rotation of the lead screw shaft 20 causes the synchronous drive cylinder 22 to slide relative to the rotating frame 12. The movement of the synchronous drive cylinder 22, via the first drive rod 23 and the second drive rod 24, moves the first clamping frame 13 and the second clamping frame 14, ultimately forming a clamping state relative to the target component, achieving clamping and positioning of the target component. Figure 12This is a schematic diagram of the operation when the target part to be welded is a similar sheet metal structure. First, the conical spring 16 is used to pull the insertion pin 17 out of its original positioning slot 19. Then, the adjustment frame 12 is rotated relative to the lifting frame 9 to adjust its position as shown in the attached diagram. Figure 1 The device rotates from its vertical position to a horizontal position. Then, the second servo motor 21 is powered on to achieve a small-amplitude rotation adjustment of the first clamping frame 13 and the second clamping frame 14 relative to the corresponding adjustment frame 12, so that the center groove 25 has a relatively extended posture relative to the adjustment frame 12. Then, the target part to be welded is inserted into the center groove 25, and the electromagnet 30 is powered on to generate an electromagnetic field. The force of the electromagnetic field acting on the permanent magnet 28 is controlled to be a repulsive force, thereby achieving the push-out of the clamping column 27 relative to the clamping hole 26. After the clamping column 27 is pushed out of the clamping hole 26, it can form a clamping and positioning relative to the target part to be welded inserted into the center groove 25. Before clamping and positioning, the height of the electric lifting frame 9 is adjusted in advance by powering on the electric lifting frame 9 so that the adjustment frame 12 is height-adapted relative to the target part to be welded. During the clamping process, the target part to be welded can be lifted with the help of a pry bar to facilitate the insertion of the target part to be welded relative to the center groove 25.

[0043] Furthermore, after adjustment, the combined welding equipment moves to position the target part to be welded via the lifting and clamping assembly. The drive motor 41, when powered on, drives the rotation of the rolling wheels 39 relative to the shaft frame 40. The rotation of the two rolling wheels 39 enables the main wheel frame 1 and the auxiliary wheel frame 2 to move. This movement allows for relative position adjustment of the combined welding equipment relative to the target part before the lifting and clamping assembly clamps it. After the lifting and clamping assembly clamps the target part, the combined welding equipment can adjust the position of the target part to facilitate welding. The welding positioning of the target parts to be welded involves adjusting the relative positions of the welding edges between the two target parts to ensure a suitable welding distance. Then, a welding machine is installed on the welding head 5. When the welding machine is powered on, the welding head 5 generates a welding output. The robotic arm 4 identifies the welding trajectory formed by the welding head 5 relative to the target parts. The robotic arm 4 then controls the welding head 5 to be positioned relative to the target parts. Finally, the welding machine and the robotic arm 4 are started simultaneously to perform the welding movement of the welding head 5, thus completing the welding operation of the target parts.

[0044] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
