Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to annular component welding, in particular to an automatic welding device for annular components. Background Art

[0002] In the prior art, annular components are formed by bending or other processes of long strip components to form annular components with notches, and then welding the two ends of the annular components together to form a complete annular component. However, when welding annular components, the two ends need to be completely aligned before welding to avoid the problem of deviation in the connection of the two ends. If the two ends are not aligned, there will be some problems after welding. First, the shape of the annular component will change, the size of the inner ring and the outer ring will deviate, and the roundness deviation will be large. Therefore, when welding, the two ends are mostly aligned manually and then welded by a welding machine, which is difficult to produce automatically. However, this manual control method has cumbersome positioning, extremely low processing efficiency, high labor intensity and high cost. Especially for annular components such as wave springs, due to their inherent wavy shape, the height difference of the waves makes it more difficult to align the ends. Therefore, it is more difficult to accurately position the ends of the wave spring, making it difficult to ensure the quality of welding and the quality of the processed wave spring, resulting in a high rejection rate.

The top camera 272 and the bottom camera 273 photograph and detect the upper and lower sides of the welded part, thereby improving the detection accuracy.

[0023] In one embodiment, it further includes an output mechanism 28 for outputting the processed annular member and a blanking mechanism 29 installed on the chassis 1 for grasping the annular member completed welding on the clamping tooling 24 and moving it to the output mechanism 28; The described blanking mechanism 29 includes a blanking frame 291, a manipulator 292 installed on the blanking frame 291, a grasping frame 293 installed on the manipulator 292, a plurality of grasping cylinders 294 installed on the grasping frame 293, and clamping jaws 295 installed on the grasping cylinders 294; the manipulator 292 is used to drive the grasping frame 293, the grasping cylinders 294, and the clamping jaws 295 to move, and the grasping cylinders 294 are used to drive the clamping jaws 295 to clamp or release the annular member; The described output mechanism 28 includes an output frame 281, rollers 282 installed on the output frame 281, a conveyor belt 283 installed on the rollers 282, and an output motor 21 for driving the rollers 282 to rotate and drive the conveyor belt 283 to act; the output motor 21 drives the rollers 282 to rotate, and during the rotation process, the rollers 282 drive the conveyor belt 283 to act and drive the annular member to be output; a non-conforming product recycling bin can also be set beside the output frame 281. During the detection process, when it is detected that the welding position is inaccurate, the welding is not firm after welding, and the annular member with deviation problems in the welding position is grabbed by the manipulator 292 and dropped into the non-conforming product recycling bin when blanking, and only the annular member that passes the detection is transported to the conveyor belt 283 of the output mechanism 28 by the manipulator 292 for output.

[0024] Through the setting of the blanking mechanism 29, after the manipulator 292 drives the grasping frame 293 and the clamping jaws 295 to remove the annular member that has completed welding and detection, it is first moved to the bottom camera 273, and the bottom of the annular member is photographed by the bottom camera 273, and then it is moved to the conveyor belt 283 of the output mechanism 28 for output.

Then, by setting the notch positioning part 354, when stacking a number of annular components, the opening groove on the annular component is clamped on the notch positioning part 354 to limit the circumferential position of the annular component on the tooling base 351, ensuring that when the annular component is grabbed onto the clamping tooling 24 by the feeding mechanism 4, the notch of the annular component can be limited to the set position.
