[0011] Preferably, the power mechanism includes guide rods, one end of the movable platform is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the guide rods, and both ends of the guide rods are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate.

[0012] Preferably, one end of each welding torch is connected to the output end of the feeding sleeve via an electric wire, and one end of each welding torch is connected to a gas cylinder via a flexible hose. The electric wire and the flexible hose are fixed and limited by a cable tie to facilitate welding operations of the device.

[0013] Preferably, the control terminals of the feeding sleeve, the third motor, and the fourth motor are all electrically connected to the main controller to facilitate the operation of the device.

[0014] The operating method of this device is as follows:

[0015] Step 1: Set the dimensions and control the device to work automatically through the main controller, so that the bottom inner wall of the armor plate is lower than the surface of the conveyor belt. Then, adjust the distance between the two armor plates according to the size of the welding plate. After the user inputs the dimensions on the main controller, the output end of the first motor moves the armor plate through the first threaded rod and threaded sleeve.

[0016] Step 2: Clamping. The conveyor belt can smoothly transport the welding plate. When one end of the welding plate is in contact with one end of the armor plate, the first electric push rod will move the clamping sleeve and the armor plate upward, so that the bottom end of the welding plate is in contact with the inner wall of the armor plate. At the same time, the output end of the fourth electric push rod will extend, so that the armor plate can clamp the welding plate.

[0017] Step 3: Leveling. Two sets of levels are used to check whether the welding plate is in a horizontal position. If the welding plate is not in a horizontal position, the second and third electric actuators can adaptively adjust the horizontal angle of the welding plate to make the welding plate in a horizontal position.

[0018] Step 4: Material feeding and bonding. The second motor moves the moving table, feeding sleeve and welding rod downward through the second threaded rod. The material roller and the third motor can feed and fix the welding rod, so that the bottom end of the welding rod is in contact with the welding plate.

[0019] Step 5: Welding. The welding torch can weld and fix the welding rod and the welding plate. At the same time, the output of the fourth motor drives the two sets of first gears to rotate through two sets of second gears. The first gear drives the welding torch to rotate through the connecting fixing rod. When the welding torch rotates one revolution, the welding is completed.

[0020] Step Six: Reset. The fourth motor, the second gear, and the first gear cause the connecting fixing rod and the welding gun to rotate in the opposite direction for one revolution to reset, so as to prepare for the next welding. After welding is completed, the second motor and the second threaded rod cause the moving table and the unloading sleeve to move upward. At the same time, the third motor and the first electric push rod work. The third motor and the material roller can move the welding rod out of the unloading sleeve so that the next set of welding rods can move downward.

[0021] Step 7: Material Change. The first electric actuator moves the adjusting seat and welding plate downwards, and the fourth electric actuator removes the armor plate from fixing the welding plate. When the bottom of the welding plate is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt, the adjusting seat and clamping sleeve continue to move downwards until the top of the armor plate is lower than the welding plate. The conveyor belt moves the welded welding plate and welding rod. When they are no longer between the armor plates, the first electric actuator moves the clamping sleeve and armor plate upwards, so that the inner wall of the bottom of the armor plate is lower than the surface of the conveyor belt again, so as to facilitate the limiting and tightening of the next set of welding plates.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0023] The user controls the device for fully automatic operation via the main controller. At this point, the inner wall of the bottom edge of the armor plate is slightly lower than the surface of the conveyor belt. Then, the distance between the two armor plates is adjusted according to the size of the welding plate. After the user inputs the dimensions into the main controller, the output of the first motor moves the armor plate via the first threaded rod and threaded sleeve, positioning it correctly. The conveyor belt smoothly transports the welding plate. When one end of the welding plate is in contact with one end of the armor plate, the first electric push rod moves the receiving plate, adjusting plate, adjusting seat, clamping sleeve, and armor plate upwards. Four sets of guide telescopic rods ensure smooth upward movement, bringing the bottom edge of the welding plate into contact with the inner wall of the armor plate. Simultaneously, the output of the fourth electric push rod extends, allowing... The armor plate can tighten the welding plate, ensuring it fits snugly against the armor plate. Two sets of levels then check if the welding plate is level. If not, the second and third electric actuators adaptively adjust the plate's angle to ensure it is level, guaranteeing subsequent welding quality. Once the welding plate reaches the appropriate height, the second motor, via the second threaded rod, lowers the moving table, unloading sleeve, and welding rod. The material roller and third motor unload and fix the welding rod. After the bottom of the welding rod is in contact with the welding plate, the unloading sleeve and welding gun begin operation, welding the welding rod and plate together. Simultaneously, the fourth motor... The output end drives two sets of first gears to rotate via two sets of second gears. The first gears drive the welding torch to rotate via a connecting rod. After the welding torch rotates one revolution, the welding is completed. The fourth motor, second gears, and first gears then cause the connecting rod and welding torch to rotate one revolution in the opposite direction to reset, facilitating the next welding operation. After welding, the second motor and second threaded rod move the moving table and unloading sleeve upwards. Simultaneously, the third motor and first electric push rod operate, using the third motor and material rollers to move the welding rod out of the unloading sleeve, allowing the next set of welding rods to move downwards. The first electric push rod moves the adjusting seat and welding plate downwards, while the output end of the fourth electric push rod shortens, removing the armor plate from the welding plate. When the bottom end of the welding plate is in contact with the conveyor belt... After the surfaces are bonded, the first electric actuator continues to move the adjusting seat and clamping sleeve downwards until the top of the armor plate is lower than the welding plate. At this point, the conveyor belt moves the welded plate and welding rod. Once they are no longer between the armor plates, the first electric actuator moves the clamping sleeve and armor plate upwards, so that the inner wall of the bottom of the armor plate is slightly lower than the surface of the conveyor belt again, which facilitates the limiting and tightening of the next set of welding plates. This device can not only perform welding fully automatically, but also improve welding quality and work efficiency, and reduce the user's workload and intensity. At the same time, it eliminates the need for the user to hold the welding hand, thus avoiding prolonged contact with the welding area and improving user safety, preventing injury during work.

Clamping sleeves 10 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting seat 9. Armor plates 11 are slidably connected to the adjacent ends of the clamping sleeves 10. Welding plates 13 are placed between the armor plates 11 and fit against them. A first motor 16 is located in the middle of one clamping sleeve 10, and a fourth electric push rod 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the armor plate 11 in the middle of the other clamping sleeve 10. The output end of the first motor 16 is fixedly connected to a first threaded rod 17, which is connected to the inner wall of the clamping sleeve 10 via a bearing. One end of the first threaded rod 17 is threadedly connected to a threaded sleeve 18, which is fixedly connected to the armor plate 11. The user controls the device to operate fully automatically via the main controller 2. At this time, the bottom inner wall of the armor plate 11 is slightly lower than the surface of the conveyor belt 3 to facilitate the movement of the welding plate 13 and subsequent clamping work. Then, the distance between the two clamping sleeves 11 is adjusted according to the size of the welding plate 13. At this time, all armor plates 11 are located inside the mounting sleeve 10, and the distance between the armor plates 11 is at its maximum value. After the user inputs the dimensions on the main controller 2, the main controller 2 controls the first motor 16 and the fourth electric push rod 19 to work. The output end of the first motor 16 drives the first threaded rod 17 to rotate. Through the first threaded rod 17 and the threaded sleeve 18, one set of armor plates 11 can slide inside the mounting sleeve 10. The first threaded rod 17 and the threaded sleeve 18 make the armor plates 11 move. Half of the difference between the maximum value between the armor plates 11 and the width of the welding plate 13 is the distance that one side of the armor plate 11 moves.

The armor plates 11 controlled by the first motor 16, the first threaded rod 17 and the threaded sleeve 18 are in a fixed position, which is convenient for clamping and centering the welding plate 13.

[0038] Please see Figures 2-4In this embodiment, the leveling mechanism includes a central chamber 4. The central chamber 4 is fixedly connected to the middle of the workbench 1.

When one end of the welding plate 13 is in contact with one end of the armor plate 11, the third electric push rod 15... The output end of an electric actuator 6 drives the receiving plate 5, adjusting plate 8, adjusting seat 9, clamping sleeve 10, armor plate 11, and welding plate 13 to move upward. Four sets of guide telescopic rods 7 ensure smooth upward movement. At this time, the bottom end of the welding plate 13 is in contact with the inner wall of the armor plate 11. At the same time, the output end of the fourth electric actuator 19 extends, which allows the armor plate 11 to tighten the welding plate 13. The welding plate 13 is tightly in contact with the armor plate 11. Then, two sets of levels 12 detect whether the welding plate 13 is in a horizontal position. If the welding plate 13 is not in a horizontal position, the level 12 detects the tilt direction of the adjusting seat 9, clamping sleeve 10, and welding plate 13. The second electric actuator 14 and the third electric actuator 15 can control the tilt position of the adjusting plate 8 and the adjusting seat 9 respectively, thereby adaptively adjusting the horizontal angle of the welding plate 13 to ensure that the welding plate 13 is in a horizontal position, thus ensuring the subsequent welding quality.

[0045] Step 3: Leveling. Two sets of levels 12 are used to check whether the welding plate 13 is in a horizontal position. If the welding plate 13 is not in a horizontal position, the second electric actuator 14 and the third electric actuator 15 can adaptively adjust the horizontal angle of the welding plate 13 so that the welding plate 13 is in a horizontal position.

[0046] Step 4: Material feeding and bonding. The second motor 23 moves the moving table 21, the feeding sleeve 26 and the welding rod 27 downward through the second threaded rod 24. The material roller 29 and the third motor 30 can feed and fix the welding rod 27, so that the bottom end of the welding rod 27 is in contact with the welding plate 13.

[0047] Step 5: Welding. The welding torch 37 can weld and fix the welding rod 27 and the welding plate 13. At the same time, the output end of the fourth motor 35 drives the two sets of first gears 33 to rotate through the two sets of second gears 34. The first gears 33 drive the welding torch 37 to rotate through the connecting fixing rod 36. When the welding torch 37 rotates one revolution, the welding is completed.

[0048] Step Six: Reset. The fourth motor 35, the second gear 34, and the first gear 33 reset the connecting fixing rod 36 and the welding gun 37 by rotating them in the opposite direction one revolution to facilitate the next welding. After welding is completed, the second motor 23 and the second threaded rod 24 move the moving table 21 and the unloading sleeve 26 upward. At the same time, the third motor 30 and the first electric push rod 6 work. The third motor 30 and the material roller 29 enable the welding rod 27 to move out of the unloading sleeve 26 so that the next set of welding rods 27 can move downward.

[0049] Step 7: Material change. The first electric push rod 6 moves the adjusting seat 9 and the welding plate 13 downward. The fourth electric push rod 19 removes the armor plate 11 from fixing the welding plate 13. After the bottom end of the welding plate 13 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3, the adjusting seat 9 and the clamping sleeve 10 continue to move downward until the top end of the armor plate 11 is lower than the welding plate 13. The conveyor belt 3 moves the welded welding plate 13 and the welding rod 27. When they are no longer between the armor plates 11, the first electric push rod 6 moves the clamping sleeve 10 and the armor plate 11 upward, so that the inner wall of the bottom end of the armor plate 11 is lower than the surface of the conveyor belt 3 again, so as to limit and tighten the next set of welding plates 13.

[0050] The user controls the device to operate fully automatically via the main controller 2. At this time, the bottom inner wall of the armor plate 11 is slightly lower than the surface of the conveyor belt 3 to facilitate the movement of the welding plate 13 and subsequent clamping. Then, the distance between the two assembled armor plates 11 is adjusted according to the size of the welding plate 13. At this point, all armor plates 11 are located inside the clamping sleeve 10, and the distance between the armor plates 11 is at its maximum. After the user inputs the dimensions into the main controller 2, the main controller 2 controls the first motor 16 and the fourth electric push rod 19 to operate. The output end of the first motor 16 drives the first threaded rod 17 to rotate. Through the first threaded rod 17 and the threaded sleeve 18, one assembled armor plate 11 can slide inside the assembly clamping sleeve 10. The threaded sleeve 18 causes the armor plate 11 to move. The maximum distance between the armor plates 11 is half the difference between the width of the welding plate 13 and the maximum distance between them. This distance is the distance that one side of the armor plate 11 moves. The distance between the two armor plates 11 is controlled by a distance sensor, so that the distance between the armor plates 11 is slightly greater than the width of the welding plate 13. The armor plate 11, controlled by the first motor 16, the first threaded rod 17, and the threaded sleeve 18, is in a fixed position. The working conveyor belt 3 can smoothly transport the welding plate 13. When one end of the welding plate 13 is in contact with one end of the armor plate 11, the output end of the first electric push rod 6 drives the receiving plate 5, adjusting plate 8, adjusting seat 9, clamping sleeve 10, armor plate 11, and welding plate 13 to move upward. The four sets of guide telescopic rods 7 can ensure that... The welding plate 13 moves smoothly upwards until its bottom end is flush with the inner wall of the armor plate 11. Simultaneously, the output end of the fourth electric actuator 19 extends, allowing the armor plate 11 to tighten around the welding plate 13. The welding plate 13 is then tightly fitted to the armor plate 11. Two sets of levels 12 are used to check if the welding plate 13 is level. If it is not, the level 12 detects the tilt direction of the adjusting seat 9, the clamping sleeve 10, and the welding plate 13. The second and third electric actuators 14 and 15 control the tilt positions of the adjusting plate 8 and the adjusting seat 9, respectively, thus adaptively adjusting the horizontal angle of the welding plate 13 to ensure it is level and guarantee the subsequent welding quality. Once the welding plate 13 rises to a suitable height, the output of the second motor 23 drives the second threaded rod 24 to rotate. The second threaded rod 24 causes the moving table 21, the unloading sleeve 26, and the welding rod 27 to move downwards. The third motor 30 drives the material roller 29 to rotate, thus unloading and fixing the welding rod 27. When the bottom of the welding rod 27 is in contact with the welding plate 13, the unloading sleeve 26 and the welding gun 37 begin to work. The welding gun 37 welds and fixes the welding rod 27 to the welding plate 13. Simultaneously, the output of the fourth motor 35 drives two sets of first gears 33 to rotate via two sets of second gears 34. The first gears 33 drive the welding gun 37 to rotate via the connecting fixing rod 36. After the welding gun 37 rotates one revolution, the welding is complete.The fourth motor 35, the second gear 34, and the first gear 33 cause the connecting fixing rod 36 and the welding gun 37 to rotate in the opposite direction for one revolution to reset, facilitating the next welding. After welding is completed, the second motor 23 and the second threaded rod 24 cause the moving table 21 and the unloading sleeve 26 to move upward. At the same time, the third motor 30 and the first electric push rod 6 work, and the third motor 30 and the material roller 29 enable the welding rod 27 to move out of the unloading sleeve 26, so that the next set of welding rods 27 can move downward. The first electric push rod 6 enables the adjusting seat 9 and the welding plate 13 to move downward. At the same time, the output end of the fourth electric push rod 19 shortens, so that the armor plate 11 no longer fixes the welding plate 13. When the bottom end of the welding plate 13 is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt 3, the first electric push rod 6 continues to drive. The adjusting seat 9 and the clamping sleeve 10 move downwards until the top of the armor plate 11 is lower than the welding plate 13. At this time, the conveyor belt 3 operates, causing the welded welding plate 13 and welding rod 27 to move. Once they are no longer between the armor plates 11, the first electric push rod 6 causes the clamping sleeve 10 and the armor plate 11 to move upwards, so that the inner wall of the bottom end of the armor plate 11 is again slightly lower than the surface of the conveyor belt 3. This facilitates the limiting and tightening of the next set of welding plates 13. This device not only enables fully automatic welding but also improves welding quality and work efficiency, while reducing the user's workload and intensity. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for the user to hold the welding machine, thus avoiding prolonged contact with the welding area and improving user safety by preventing injury during operation.

A method for operating an automatic plasma welding apparatus for steel structures as described in any one of claims 1-7, characterized in that: Step 1: Set the dimensions and control the device to work automatically through the main controller (2) so that the bottom inner wall of the armor plate (11) is lower than the surface of the conveyor belt (3). Then adjust the distance between the two armor plates (11) according to the size of the welding plate (13). After the user inputs the dimensions on the main controller (2), the output end of the first motor (16) moves the armor plate (11) through the first threaded rod (17) and the threaded sleeve (18). Step 2: Clamping. The welding plate (13) can be smoothly transported by the conveyor belt (3). When one end of the welding plate (13) is attached to one end of the armor plate (11), the first electric push rod (6) causes the clamping sleeve (10) and the armor plate (11) to move upward, so that the bottom end of the welding plate (13) is attached to the inner wall of the armor plate (11). At the same time, the output end of the fourth electric push rod (19) extends, so that the armor plate (11) can clamp the welding plate (13). Step 3: Leveling. Use two sets of level instruments (12) to check whether the welding plate (13) is in a horizontal position. If the welding plate (13) is not in a horizontal position, the second electric push rod (14) and the third electric push rod (15) can adaptively adjust the horizontal angle of the welding plate (13) so that the welding plate (13) is in a horizontal position.

The welding rod (27) and the welding plate (13) can be welded and fixed by the welding gun (37). At the same time, the output end of the fourth motor (35) drives the two sets of first gears (33) to rotate through the two sets of second gears (34). The first gears (33) drive the welding gun (37) to rotate through the connecting fixing rod (36). When the welding gun (37) rotates one revolution, the welding is completed. Step 6: Reset. The fourth motor (35), the second gear (34) and the first gear (33) reset the connecting fixing rod (36) and the welding gun (37) by rotating them in the opposite direction for one revolution, so as to facilitate the next welding. After welding is completed, the second motor (23) and the second threaded rod (24) move the moving table (21) and the unloading sleeve (26) upward. At the same time, the third motor (30) and the first electric push rod (6) work. The third motor (30) and the material roller (29) can move the welding rod (27) out of the unloading sleeve (26) so as to facilitate the downward movement of the next set of welding rods (27). Step 7: Material change. The first electric push rod (6) moves the adjusting seat (9) and the welding plate (13) down. The fourth electric push rod (19) makes the armor plate (11) no longer fix the welding plate (13). When the bottom end of the welding plate (13) is in contact with the surface of the conveyor belt (3), the adjusting seat (9) and the clamping sleeve (10) continue to move down until the top end of the armor plate (11) is lower than the welding plate (13). The welding plate (13) and the welding rod (27) are moved by the conveyor belt (3).
