They can effectively reduce errors and labor intensity caused by manual operation and significantly improve the efficiency and consistency of welding operations.

[0003] During the manufacturing process of some ships, self-propelled welding robots are required to weld the sides and bottom of the ship outdoors. Since the welding positions on the sides of some ships are relatively high, and the robotic arms of self-propelled welding robots are usually fixed to the top of the base and cannot be adjusted in height, although the robotic arms have a certain extension distance, it is impossible to ensure that the robotic arms can weld the ship at the appropriate angle and posture when the welding position is high.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] As shown in Figures 1 to 3, this invention provides a multi-machine collaborative intelligent mobile welding robot for shipbuilding based on flexible manufacturing, including a mobile base 1, a welding robotic arm 2 mounted on the top of the mobile base 1, and further comprising:

[0038] The height adjustment component 3 is located at the bottom of the welding robotic arm 2 and is used to adjust the height of the welding robotic arm 2.

[0039] The height adjustment component 3 includes a fixed box 31, which is fixedly connected to the inside of the movable base 1. An intermediate box 32 is provided inside the fixed box 31, and a lifting box 33 is provided inside the intermediate box 32. The top of the lifting box 33 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the welding robotic arm 2.

[0040] A geared motor 34 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the fixed box 31. The geared motor 34 consists of a motor and a worm gear reducer. A screw 35 is fixedly connected to the output end of the geared motor 34. The surface of the screw 35 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the intermediate box 32. A screw cylinder 36 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the intermediate box 32 through a bearing seat. The surface of the screw cylinder 36 is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the lifting box 33.

[0041] Auxiliary support components 37 are provided on the front and back of the lifting box 33 to improve the stability of the lifting box 33 and the welding robotic arm 2.

[0042] The protective shell 38 is located on the outside of the welding robotic arm 2 to prevent the airflow from affecting the welding robotic arm 2.

[0043] The protective shell 38 includes a protective plate 381, which is fixedly connected to the top of the left side of the lifting box 33. A protective cover 382 is fitted on the surface of the welding robotic arm 2. A rotating rod 383 is fixedly connected to the left side of the inner cavity of the protective cover 382. The front and back of the lifting box 33 are fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating rod 383 through bearing seats. The front and rear sides of the left side of the protective cover 382 are hinged to the front and rear sides of the top of the movable base 1 through shafts. A tension spring 385 is vertically fixedly connected to the inner side of the two sets of connecting plates 384.

[0044] Specifically, the tension spring 385 is a stainless steel tension spring. As the height of the welding robotic arm 2 increases, the welding area is farther from the ground and more susceptible to the influence of airflow from above. Airflow may disrupt the welding arc. By setting up the protective shell 38, the interference of airflow on the welding area can be effectively prevented, solving the problem that airflow may cause instability in the welding arc. When the lifting box 33 rises, the lifting box 33 will drive the rotating rod 383 to move upward through the bearing seat. The rotating rod 383 will drive the top connecting plate 384 to move upward. The connecting plate 384 stretches the tension spring 385. At the same time, the protective cover 382 will rotate around the rotating rod 383. When the tension spring 385 is in a vertical state, the protective cover 382 will also be in a vertical state and provide wind protection for the welding robotic arm 2. This ensures that good welding results can be maintained when welding at high altitudes on the ship, improving welding quality and efficiency, and preventing the welding head from deviating from its trajectory due to ambient wind, which could cause deviations in the welding position.

[0045] A square plate 39 is disposed on the top of the screw 35 and is used to drive the screw barrel 36. The inner wall of the screw barrel 36 is square, and the surface of the square plate 39 is in contact with the inner wall of the screw barrel 36.

[0046] Specifically, the mobile base 1 moves using a tracked walking mechanism. The track consists of drive wheels, guide wheels, carrier wheels, and a track chain. The drive wheels are driven by a motor to rotate, which in turn moves the track chain, allowing the robot to walk on the ground. This tracked structure provides significant traction and stability, adapting to different terrains and surface conditions. The welding robotic arm 2 is equipped with a welding system, including a welding power source, wire feeding mechanism, and welding torch. The welding power source provides the electrical energy required for welding, and the wire feeding mechanism delivers the welding wire to the welding torch at a set speed. At the tip of the welding torch, the welding wire melts under the influence of current and an electric arc, fusing with the base material to form a weld. Simultaneously, the robot precisely controls the movement trajectory and welding speed of the welding torch through a control system. Both the mobile base 1 and the welding robotic arm 2 utilize existing, mature technologies.

[0047] As shown in Figures 3 and 4, the auxiliary support 37 includes a support plate 371, which is fixedly connected to the top of the front and back of the intermediate box 32. A lifting rod 372 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 371. An inner cylinder 373 is sleeved on the surface of the lifting rod 372. An inclined groove 374 is opened on the surface of the inner cylinder 373. A sliding rod 375 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the left side of the lifting rod 372. The sliding rod 375 is slidably connected inside the inclined groove 374.

[0048] The front and back of the movable base 1 are fixedly connected with screw sleeves 376. The screw sleeves 376 are internally threaded with threaded cylinders 377. The inner walls of the threaded cylinders 377 are provided with sliding grooves 378 on both sides. The inner cylinders 373 are fixedly connected with sliders 379 located inside the sliding grooves 378 on both sides. The right side of the threaded cylinders 377 is fixedly connected with a diagonal brace plate 3710.

[0049] Specifically, the slide bar 375 is made of wear-resistant steel, and the inclined groove 374 is L-shaped. Due to the change in height of the welding robotic arm 2, its center of gravity also changes. A higher position will raise the center of gravity of the overall structure, making it prone to swaying or tipping when subjected to external forces. The auxiliary support 37 can provide additional support for the lifting box 33 and the welding robotic arm 2, reducing the risk of swaying and tipping, ensuring the smooth progress of the welding process, and improving welding accuracy. When the intermediate box 32 moves upward, it will drive the lifting rod 372 and the slide bar 375 to move upward through the support plate 371. The slide bar 375 is in the inclined groove 374. While sliding inside 74, the inner cylinder 373 will rotate. The inner cylinder 373 drives the threaded cylinder 377 to rotate through the slider 379 and the groove 378. Since the threaded cylinder 377 and the threaded sleeve 376 are threadedly engaged, the threaded cylinder 377 will rotate and move downward, so that the threaded cylinder 377 and the inclined support plate 3710 contact the ground to support and limit the lifting box 33, thereby improving its stability. When the sliding rod 375 rises a certain distance inside the inclined groove 374, it will enter the square cavity of the inclined groove 374. At this time, the inner cylinder 373 will not rotate, and the sliding rod 375 and the lifting box 33 can continue to rise.

[0050] As shown in Figures 1 to 9, a support ring 4 is fixedly connected to the top of the surface of the threaded sleeve 377, and a bellows 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support ring 4. The bottom of the bellows 5 contacts the top of the threaded sleeve 376.

[0051] Specifically, the support ring 4 and the bellows 5 can effectively prevent dust, debris and other impurities from entering the connection between the threaded sleeve 376 and the threaded cylinder 377, avoid wear, corrosion and jamming caused by the accumulation of impurities, extend the service life of the threaded sleeve 376 and the threaded cylinder 377, and ensure the stability of the rotation of the threaded cylinder 377.

[0052] As shown in Figures 1 and 9, the adaptive image stabilization mechanism 386 includes a rotating sleeve 3861, which is slidably sleeved on the surface of the rotating rod 383. The inner wall of the rotating sleeve 3861 is in contact with the surface of the protective cover 382. The front and back of the protective cover 382 are fixedly connected with retaining sleeves 3862, which are sleeved on the surface of the rotating sleeve 3861. The bottom of the inner wall of the retaining sleeve 3862 is fixedly connected with a spring piece 3863, and the top of the spring piece 3863 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating sleeve 3861. A magnet piece 3864 is fixedly embedded in the top of the rotating sleeve 3861.

[0053] Specifically, when welding at a higher position on the side of the ship, although the protective cover 382 can resist airflow interference, it is prone to swaying and shaking under the influence of wind, which is caused by the lifting box 33 driving the welding robot arm 2. This results in deviation of the welding trajectory and a decrease in welding quality. However, by setting up an adaptive anti-shaking mechanism 386, the reverse force generated by the elastic deformation of the spring piece 3863 is used to press the rotating sleeve 3861 against the surface of the hull, thus limiting the left and right movement of the protective cover 382. The magnetic piece 3864 is attracted to the hull to limit the front and rear movement of the protective cover 382, ​​forming a double stabilizing design. This effectively prevents the protective cover 382 from swaying, improves the protective effect, and enhances the stability of the entire device.

[0054] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, bellows tube 2 6 is vertically fixedly connected to the inner side of both sets of connecting plates 384, and bellows tube 2 6 is located on the outer side of tension spring 385.

[0055] An arc-shaped plate 7 is fixedly connected to the center of the top of the rotating rod 383, and the bottom of the arc-shaped plate 7 contacts the top of the protective plate 381.

[0056] Specifically, the bellows 6 can protect the tension spring 385 from collisions and wear caused by foreign objects, thus improving the service life of the tension spring 385; the arc plate 7 can limit the rotation angle of the rotating rod 383, preventing the rotating rod 383 and the protective cover 382 from rotating too much, which would cause the protective cover 382 to fail to rotate and reset effectively, thus improving the stability of the protective cover 382.

[0057] As shown in Figures 5 to 9, a warning assembly is provided on the right side of the intermediate box 32. The warning assembly includes a T-shaped plate 8, which is fixedly connected to the top of the right side of the intermediate box 32. The front and rear sides of the bottom of the T-shaped plate 8 are fixedly connected to a connecting rod 9 by bearings. An infrared sensor 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting rod 9. An audible and visual alarm 11 is fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the top of the T-shaped plate 8.

[0058] Specifically, the welding robotic arm 2 may generate strong light and flying sparks when working, which may cause injury to people and equipment that are close by. At the same time, people and vehicles may also accidentally bump into the mobile base 1. By adding an adjustable infrared sensor 10, the surrounding environment can be monitored in real time. When an object enters the sensing range, an alarm can be issued in time through the sound and light alarm 11 to remind the operator and people around to pay attention to safety.

[0059] As shown in Figures 5 to 9, storage boxes 12 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the left side of the movable base 1. The storage boxes 12 are fitted onto the surface of the infrared sensor 10. A limit switch 13 is fixedly connected inside the storage boxes 12. The top of the limit switch 13 contacts the bottom of the T-shaped plate 8.

[0060] Specifically, the infrared sensor 10 contains an emitting element that emits infrared rays. When an object enters the sensing area, the object's surface reflects some infrared rays, which are captured by the sensor's receiving element. The limit switch 13 includes structures such as springs and levers, which, upon contact, push the contacts to close or open, thus controlling the circuit's on / off state. The audible and visual alarm 11 includes structures such as a buzzer and a light-emitting diode. When the infrared sensor 10 detects an abnormality, it sends an electrical signal to the audible and visual alarm 11. The control circuit receives the signal, processes and amplifies it to drive the subsequent sound and light-emitting elements. Device 10, audible and visual alarm 11, and limit switch 13 are all existing mature technologies. When the intermediate box 32 rises, the T-shaped plate 8 moves upward and releases the pressure on the limit switch 13. The limit switch 13 activates the infrared sensor 10, which detects surrounding objects. When the lifting box 33 descends, the T-shaped plate 8 moves the infrared sensor 10 downward into the storage box 12. The T-shaped plate 8 presses the top of the limit switch 13, causing the limit switch 13 to turn off the infrared sensor 10, thus achieving an automatic switching effect.

[0061] As shown in Figure 2, a sealing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed box 31. The inner wall of the sealing ring 14 is in contact with the surface of the intermediate box 32. A sealing ring 25 is fixedly connected to the top of the intermediate box 32. The inner wall of the sealing ring 25 is in contact with the surface of the lifting box 33.

[0062] Specifically, sealing ring 14 can seal the gap between the fixed box 31 and the intermediate box 32, and sealing ring 15 can seal the gap between the intermediate box 32 and the lifting box 33, preventing dust from entering the interior of the intermediate box 32 and the fixed box 31, thereby affecting the smoothness of movement.

[0063] As shown in Figure 7, a lifting assembly is provided on the left side of the protective plate 381. The lifting assembly includes a concave plate 16. A lifting plate 17 is hinged inside the concave plate 16 via a shaft. An elliptical anti-slip groove is provided on the top of the lifting plate 17. A pull rod 18 is fixedly connected to the top of the left side of the protective plate 381.

[0064] Specifically, in ship welding operations, the weld seam may be located at a high position, making it difficult for operators on the ground to see the specific condition of the weld seam. By using the lifting plate 17 to raise the personnel to a designated height, the operators can observe the weld seam up close and promptly detect problems such as uneven weld seam and porosity. When in use, the operator can rotate the lifting plate 17 to make it horizontal, then stand on the top of the lifting plate 17, hold the pull rod 18, and start the reduction motor 34 to raise the operator, making it convenient for the operator to observe the welding situation.

[0065] Working principle and usage process of this invention:

[0066] When welding is required at a higher position on the surface of the ship, the geared motor 34 is started. The geared motor 34 drives the screw 35 to rotate. The screw 35 drives the intermediate box 32 to move upward through the thread. The intermediate box 32 drives the screw barrel 36 to move upward. When the screw 35 rotates, it drives the screw barrel 36 to rotate through the square plate. The screw barrel 36 drives the lifting box 33 and the welding robot arm 2 to move upward through the thread.

[0067] When the intermediate box 32 moves upward, it will drive the lifting rod 372 and the sliding rod 375 to move upward through the support plate 371. While the sliding rod 375 slides inside the inclined groove 374, it will drive the inner cylinder 373 to rotate. The inner cylinder 373 drives the threaded cylinder 377 to rotate through the slider 379 and the sliding groove 378. Since the threaded cylinder 377 and the threaded sleeve 376 are threadedly engaged, the threaded cylinder 377 will rotate and move downward, so that the threaded cylinder 377 and the inclined support plate 3710 contact the ground to support and limit the lifting box 33.

[0068] Simultaneously, when the lifting box 33 rises, the lifting box 33 will drive the rotating rod 383 to move upward through the bearing seat. The rotating rod 383 will drive the top connecting plate 384 to move upward. The connecting plate 384 will stretch the tension spring 385. At the same time, the protective cover 382 will rotate around the rotating rod 383 as the center. When the tension spring 385 is in a vertical state, the protective cover 382 will also be in a vertical state and will provide wind protection for the welding robotic arm 2, so that the welding robotic arm 2 can perform stable welding on the ship at a higher position, thereby achieving the advantage of conveniently raising the robotic arm for welding.
