To accommodate the welding of various products, a wide variety of welding equipment needs to be designed according to the welding method.

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. Example 1
[0044] Please see Figure 1-13As shown, this embodiment is an automatic welding mechanism for pipe annular welds, including a workbench 1. The bottom four corners of the workbench 1 are connected to moving wheels 2. The top of the workbench 1 is connected to the front and rear of the side guard plates 3. The upper part of the side guard plates 3 is rotatably connected to the steering shaft 4. The two steering shafts 4 are connected to the flip shell 5. The upper end of the flip shell 5 is open. The center of the inner wall of the flip shell 5 is rotatably connected to the central shaft 6. The top of the central shaft 6 is connected to the receiving seat 7. The top of the receiving seat 7 is circumferentially provided with several stepped holes 8. The lower part of the inner cavity of the stepped holes 8 is rotatably connected to the hollow tube 9. The upper part of the outer wall of the hollow tube 9 is connected to the tray 10. The top left side of the workbench 1 is connected to the welding frame 11. The front end of the workbench 1 is connected to the PLC controller 12.
[0045] The top of the hollow tube 9 is connected to a cylindrical shell 91. Three guide holes 92 are circumferentially opened on the upper side wall of the cylindrical shell 91. A trapezoidal block 93 is movably inserted into the guide holes 92. The end of the trapezoidal block 93 that extends out of the cylindrical shell 91 has a protrusion. A tension spring 94 is connected between the protrusion and the outer wall of the cylindrical shell 91. The end of the trapezoidal block 93 that extends into the cylindrical shell 91 has a downward inclined surface. A top post 95 passes through the hollow tube 9. The upper end of the top post 95 abuts against the inclined surface of the trapezoidal block 93. A wear-resistant ball 96 is embedded in the lower end of the top post 95.
[0046] Several vertical rods 51 are movably inserted into the bottom of the flip shell 5. A return spring 59 is sleeved on the lower part of each vertical rod 51. The upper ends of the several vertical rods 51 are connected to an annular plate 52. The annular plate 52 is coaxial with the central shaft 6. Wear-resistant balls 96 abut against the upper surface of the annular plate 52. The lower ends of the several vertical rods 51 are connected to a metal block 53. An electromagnet 54 is embedded in the center of the bottom of the flip shell 5. The electromagnet 54 is located directly above the metal block 53. A clearance opening 55 is opened at the upper right end of the flip shell 5. A drive motor 56 is connected to the lower right end of the flip shell 5. A drive gear 57 is connected to the top output end of the drive motor 56.
[0047] The specific method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0048] When in use, this device is powered by an external power source. Multiple flanges are placed in each tray 10, and the joint pipe is placed on top of the flange. The PLC controller 12 controls the operation of each electrical component. The receiving seat 7 can rotate around the central axis 6, so that each tray 10 passes through the right side of the welding frame 11 in sequence. The welding frame 11 is used to weld the contact end of the joint pipe and the flange, thereby forming a ring weld.
[0049] When the flange is loaded, the center hole is fitted outside the cylindrical shell 91. The electromagnet 54 is energized to attract the metal block 53, which causes the vertical rod 51 to move the annular plate 52 upward. The upper surface of the annular plate 52 abuts against the wear-resistant ball 96, which causes the top column 95 to move upward and push the trapezoidal block 93. The trapezoidal block 93 extends along the guide hole 92 and abuts against the inner wall of the flange center hole, which can fix and limit the flange. The friction between the wear-resistant ball 96 and the annular plate 52 is small, which avoids hindering the deflection of the receiving seat 7. Example 2
[0050] The outer wall of the receiving seat 7 has an annular toothed groove 71 in the middle. The drive gear 57 extends into the relief opening 55 and meshes with the annular toothed groove 71. A sealing ring 72 is connected to the upper part of the outer wall of the receiving seat 7. A transmission cavity 73 is provided in the upper part of the receiving seat 7. The transmission cavity 73 is connected to the upper part of the stepped hole 8. A motor frame 74 is connected to the top center of the top of the receiving seat 7. A steering motor 75 is connected to the top of the inner wall of the motor frame 74.

The gear ring 77 meshes with the main gear 76.
[0051] The top of the motor frame 74 is connected to a stroke tube 741, the upper end of the stroke tube 741 is connected to a hydraulic rod 742, the lower end of the hydraulic rod 742 is connected to a lifting block 743, the outer side wall of the lifting block 743 is hinged to multiple traction rods 744, the wall of the stroke tube 741 is provided with a vertical groove 745 for the traction rods 744 to pass through, the lower end of the traction rods 744 is hinged to a transverse rack 746, the top of the receiving seat 7 is circumferentially connected to multiple transmission housings 78, the vertical shaft 781 is rotatably connected inside the transmission housing 78, the outer wall of the vertical shaft 781 is connected to a large gear 782 and a small gear 783, and the end of the transverse rack 746 extends into the transmission housing 78 and meshes with the small gear 783.
[0052] The top of the stepped hole 8 is connected to a limiting plate 81 at the front and back. An L-shaped rod 82 is movably inserted into the limiting plate 81. An arc plate 83 is symmetrically connected to one side of the two L-shaped rods 82. The arc plate 83 has multiple rectangular openings 84 along its length. A guide roller 85 is rotatably connected inside the rectangular openings 84. A longitudinal rack 86 is connected to the horizontal part of the L-shaped rod 82. The end of the longitudinal rack 86 extends into the transmission housing 78 and meshes with a large gear 782. The two longitudinal racks 86 are arranged in a centrally symmetrical structure about the center of the large gear 782.
[0053] The specific method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0054] In this embodiment, during loading, the joint pipe is placed on top of the flange. The hydraulic rod 742 drives the lifting block 743 to descend, and the angle of the traction rod 744 changes accordingly. The upper end of the traction rod 744 moves down with the lifting block 743, and the lower end of the traction rod 744 drives the transverse rack 746 to translate. The end of the transverse rack 746 extends into the transmission housing 78 and meshes with the transmission pinion 783, so that the vertical shaft 781 drives the large gear 782 to rotate. The large gear 782 meshes with the longitudinal racks 86 on both sides of the transmission, so that the longitudinal racks 86 drive the L-shaped rod 82 to move. The distance between the two arc plates 83 decreases, and the guide roller 85 fits against the outer wall of the joint pipe to limit the movement without hindering the pipe from rotating around its own axis.
[0055] The drive motor 56 drives the drive gear 57 to rotate, and the drive gear 57 meshes with the transmission ring tooth groove 71, causing the receiving seat 7 to deflect the central shaft 6, which can realize the switching of the work position. When the workpiece reaches the welding position, the steering motor 75 drives the main gear 76 to rotate, and the main gear 76 meshes with the transmission ring tooth 77, so that the tray 10 can rotate around the axis of the hollow tube 9, which facilitates the welding processing of the annular weld. Example 3
[0056] Based on Embodiment 2, an inclined platform 111 is connected to the inner wall of the welding frame 11. A limiting groove 112 is formed at the top of the inclined platform 111. A lead screw 113 is rotatably connected in the limiting groove 112. A lead screw motor 114 is connected to the lower end of the lead screw 113. A nut seat 115 is screwed to the outer wall of the lead screw 113. A linkage frame 116 is connected to the top of the nut seat 115. A welding torch 117 is installed at the lower part of the linkage frame 116. The angle between the axis of the lead screw 113 and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees. A vertical cylinder 118 is connected to the top right side of the welding frame 11. A piston rod 119 is connected to the bottom of the vertical cylinder 118. A pressure block 110 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the piston rod 119.
[0057] An infrared signal transmitter 58 is connected to the bottom left side of the inner cavity of the flip shell 5, and several infrared signal receivers 79 are connected circumferentially to the bottom of the receiving base 7. When the infrared signal transmitter 58 and the infrared signal receivers 79 are aligned, the pressure block 110 is coaxial with the stepped hole 8 on the left side.
[0058] A worm motor 31 is connected to the outer wall of the rear side guard plate 3. A worm 32 is connected to the output end of the worm motor 31. A worm wheel 41 is connected to the end of the rear steering shaft 4. The worm wheel 41 meshes with the worm 32. The spiral angle of the worm 32 is smaller than the friction angle of the contact between the worm wheel 41 and the worm 32. A scale pointer 42 is connected to the end of the front steering shaft 4. An angle scale that matches the scale pointer 42 is provided on the outer wall of the front side guard plate 3 to achieve visual adjustment and enhance operational safety. A discharge port 101 is provided on the right side of the workbench 1. A guide slope is provided at the lower end of the discharge port 101. A rubber pad 102 is connected to the top of the guide slope.
[0059] The specific method of this embodiment is as follows:
[0060] In this embodiment, an infrared signal transmitter 58 emits a signal, and the position of the infrared signal receiver 79 moves with the rotation of the receiving seat 7. When the infrared signal transmitter 58 and the infrared signal receiver 79 are aligned, the working position is reached. At this time, the pressure block 110 and the left stepped hole 8 are coaxial. The drive motor 56 stops running, and the lead screw motor 114 drives the lead screw 113 to rotate. The nut seat 115 drives the linkage rod 116 to move. The working part of the welding torch 117 contacts the welding end of the pipe and the flange. The vertical cylinder 118 drives the piston rod 119 to descend, and the pressure block 110 presses the upper end of the pipe. After the steering motor 75 starts, the tray 10 drives the flange to rotate, and the pipe also rotates. This avoids the welding position from shifting and helps to ensure the welding quality of the circumferential weld.
[0061] After the welding work at a single station is completed, the vertical cylinder 118 drives the piston rod 119 to rise, the pressure block 110 disengages from the upper end of the pipe, the drive motor 56 continues to run to realize station switching, and the welding work is repeated until all workpieces are welded. The welding torch 117 is controlled to retract, the electromagnet 54 is de-energized and the reset spring 59 and tension spring 59 are reset, and the flange limit contact is established. The hydraulic rod 742 drives the lifting block 743 to rise, and the distance between the two arc plates 83 increases, releasing the limit on the pipe. After the worm motor 31 works, the worm 32 meshes with the transmission worm wheel 41, causing the steering shaft 4 to drive the tilting shell 5 to tilt. The finished workpiece falls into the lower discharge port 101. The rubber pad 102 is used to reduce impact damage. The container is placed at the lower end of the discharge slope for collection.
