[0040] In this solution, the front axle includes a front axle 10 and two supports 11 . The two supports 11 are used to be welded to both sides of the middle portion of the front axle 10 . The present invention is provided with the transfer mechanism 4 and the loading mechanism 5. When in use, the second servo motor 401 can be used to drive the transfer plate 402 to rotate, thereby driving the positioning groove 403 on the upper side of the transfer plate 402 and the support 11 therein to rotate together, and then the support 11 is continuously rotated to the side close to the loading mechanism 5. The loading mechanism 5 can automatically take out the support 11 set on the inner side of the positioning groove 403, and move the support 11 down to both sides of the middle of the front axle 10. At this time, after the welding mechanism 9 is driven into place by the moving mechanism 7, the welding mechanism 9 completes the welding.

[0041] In the above scheme, a transfer plate 402 can be provided with five positioning slots 403, the specific number of which can be adjusted according to actual needs. During use, the transfer plate 402 is driven to rotate by the second servo motor 401.

The two first support rods 301 are respectively arranged on the left and right sides of the conveyor belt 1. The upper ends of the two first support rods 301 are fixedly provided with a first support plate 302 located above the conveyor belt 1.

When in use, the cylinder 507 drives the U-shaped block 504 to move, so that the U-shaped block 504 moves to one side of the support 11, and then the two electric push rods 506 simultaneously drive the two positioning plates 505 to clamp the support 11, and then the third servo motor 508 drives the first driving gear 509 to rotate, so that the first driving gear 509 rises along the fixed rack 510, so that the support 11 can be taken out from the inner side of the positioning groove 403 upward, and then the cylinder 507 drives the U-shaped block 504 to move in the opposite direction, so that the support 11 moves to the upper side of the feeding chute 501.

When in use, the first hand wheel 208 is turned to drive the first screw rod 203 to rotate, which can drive the slide 204 to slide along the slide groove 202, and then adjust the position between the two slides 204 to adjust the support and clamping position of different positions of the front axle 10. Then, the front axle 10 is placed on the upper side of the support base 201, and then the second hand wheel 207 is turned to drive the second screw rod 205 to rotate, which can drive the clamping plate 206 at one end of the second screw rod 205 to clamp and fix the two ends of the front axle 10 to prevent shaking during welding and affecting the welding quality.

[0047] Wherein, the upper end of the above-mentioned support base 201 located between the two side slides 204 is provided with a rubber pad 209. In this way, the front axle 10 can be auxiliary supported by the rubber pad 209 to avoid the front axle 10 from colliding with the support base 201 and causing damage.

[0050] In this embodiment, the transverse guide rail 701 and the fourth servo motor 705 are correspondingly arranged on the second support plate 602. During use, the fourth servo motor 705 drives the second drive gear 704 to rotate, thereby driving the drive rack 703 and the slide bar 702 to slide along the transverse guide rail 701, thereby driving the connecting plate 706 at one end of the slide bar 702 to move along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 1, so that the lifting plate 707 at the lower end of the connecting plate 706 approaches the welding seam position. The lifting plate 707 is then driven up and down by the electric telescopic rod 708 until the welding mechanism 9 reaches the preset position.

[0051] As attached Figure 13As shown, in a further specific embodiment based on the above, the moving mechanism 7 is connected to the welding mechanism 9 through a bidirectional positioning mechanism 8, and the bidirectional positioning mechanism 8 includes a first semicircular plate 801 and a second semicircular plate 802. A first guide groove 803 and a second guide groove 804 parallel to each other are opened on the lifting plate 707 in the left and right directions. A first guide block 805 is slidably provided on the inner side of the first guide groove 803. The first guide block 805 is located at the lower end of the lifting plate 707 and is connected to one end of the first semicircular plate 801. A second guide block 806 is slidably provided on the inner side of the second guide groove 804. The second guide block 806 is located at the lower end of the lifting plate 707 and is connected to one end of the second semicircular plate 802. The first guide block 80 5 is fixedly provided with a first rack 807 along the left and right directions on the upper end, and a second rack 808 is fixedly provided with a second rack 808 along the left and right directions on the upper end of the second guide block 806. A fifth servo motor 810 is fixedly provided on the upper end of the lifting plate 707. A positioning gear 809 is fixedly provided on the output end of the fifth servo motor 810. The first rack 807 and the second rack 808 are respectively engaged with the front and rear sides of the positioning gear 809 in parallel. The positioning gear 809 is used to synchronously drive the first rack 807 and the second rack 808 to move, and to carry the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 to move closer or farther away. A welding mechanism 9 is provided on the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802.

[0052] In this solution, the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 can cooperate with each other to form a full circle structure. When in use, the fifth servo motor 810 drives the positioning gear 809 to rotate, which can simultaneously drive the first rack 807 and the second rack 808 to slide relative to or toward each other, and can drive the first guide block 805 at one end of the first rack 807 to slide in the first guide groove 803, and at the same time drive the second guide block 806 at one end of the second rack 808 to slide in the second guide groove 804, so that the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 at the lower ends of the first guide block 805 and the second guide block 806 are close to or away from the welding part of the support 11, which is convenient for subsequent welding.

[0053] As attached Figure 14As shown, in a further specific embodiment based on the above, the welding mechanism 9 includes a semicircular guide bar 902, a suspension bracket 908 and a welding gun 912, and the inner sides of the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 are respectively provided with a semicircular guide groove 901, and the inner sides of the two semicircular guide grooves 901 are both slidably provided with a semicircular guide bar 902, and the outer arc surface of the semicircular guide bar 902 is fixedly provided with a semicircular rack 903 located on the inner side of the semicircular guide groove 901, and the upper side of the first semicircular plate 801 or the second semicircular plate 802 is fixedly provided with a sixth servo motor 905, and the output end of the sixth servo motor 905 is fixedly provided with a third driving gear 904 for engaging with the semicircular rack 903, and the semicircular guide bar 902 is fixedly provided with a semicircular rack 903. Several hanging brackets 908 are fixedly provided at the lower end of the circular guide bar 902, and a welding gun 912 is provided in the middle of the lower end of each of the hanging brackets 908. An intake pipe 909 is fixedly provided at one end of each of the hanging brackets 908, and an exhaust pipe 910 is fixedly provided at the other end of each of the hanging brackets 908. Several vacuum cleaners 906 are provided on the upper side of the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802. The air suction port of the vacuum cleaner 906 is connected to the intake pipe 909 through an air inlet hose 907, and the air outlet of the vacuum cleaner 906 is connected to the exhaust pipe 910 through an air outlet hose 913. A grinding head 911 is fixedly provided on the exhaust pipe 910 and is located between the intake pipe 909 and the welding gun 912.

[0054] In this solution, two suspension brackets 908 are provided on a semicircular guide bar 902, that is, two welding guns 912 are provided on a semicircular guide bar 902, which enables the welds to be welded at multiple points simultaneously, eliminates thermal stress between each other, and improves welding quality. The specific number of welding guns 912 can be adjusted according to actual conditions.

[0055] During the welding process, after reaching the designated position, the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 are brought close to each other and close to the area to be welded of the support 11, or a full circular structure is formed to wrap the area to be welded of the support 11, and the two ends of the two semicircular guide bars 902 on the inner sides of the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 are abutted against each other, and then the third driving gear 904 is driven to rotate by the sixth servo motor 905, thereby driving the semicircular rack 903 to rotate, so that the semicircular guide bar 902 on one side of the semicircular rack 903 slides on the inner side of the semicircular guide groove 901, which can drive the suspension bracket 908 on the lower side of the semicircular guide bar 902 to slide along the semicircular guide groove 901 on the lower sides of the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802. The welding guns on multiple suspension brackets 908 can perform continuous welding at different weld locations, thereby improving welding efficiency. In the welding process, the vacuum cleaner 906 can operate, so that the hot air at the high-temperature weld after welding can be sucked into the interior of the air intake hose 913 through the air intake pipe 909, and finally the hot air is blown out through the exhaust pipe 910 through the air outlet hose 913. Since the exhaust pipe 910 is located in front of the welding gun 912 before welding, the weld can be preheated before welding. On the one hand, it can reduce welding stress, and on the other hand, it can reduce welding strain rate, which is beneficial to avoid welding cracks. It can also dissipate heat after the weld, reduce thermal stress at the weld, and improve welding quality.

[0056] And before welding, the sixth servo motor 905 drives the third drive gear 904 to rotate, and then drives the semicircular rack 903 to rotate, so that the semicircular guide bar 902 on one side of the semicircular rack 903 slides on the inner side of the semicircular guide groove 901. During the sliding process of the semicircular guide bar 903 on the inner side of the semicircular guide groove 901, the grinding head 911 on the lower side of the semicircular guide bar 903 is driven to rub along the weld area, grind the weld area, eliminate the oxide layer at the weld area, and improve the subsequent welding quality. In the process of grinding, the oxide layer ground off can also be adsorbed into the inside of the vacuum cleaner 906 and filtered through the vacuum cleaner 906, the air intake hose 907 and the air intake pipe 909, so that the exhausted gas is blown out through the air outlet hose 913 and the exhaust pipe 910, so that the weld area after adsorption is blown again to improve the cleanliness of the weld area.

[0057] In the above solution, the air inlet hose 907 and the air outlet hose 913 are freely extendable and retractable, without interfering with each other's movements. Furthermore, the sixth servo motor 905 is a servo motor driven in a reciprocating mode. In this solution, four welding mechanisms 9 can be provided, arranged at 90 degrees relative to each other. These four welding mechanisms 9 can weld simultaneously, so the semicircular guide bar 902 only needs to rotate 90 degrees to complete the welding of the entire circle. Therefore, the air inlet hose 907 and the air outlet hose 913 do not interfere with each other. After the sixth servo motor 905 rotates 90 degrees forward to complete the welding, it can be rotated 90 degrees in the reverse direction to complete the reset, thus avoiding interference.

[0058] In another specific embodiment based on the above, side panels 101 are provided on either side of the conveyor belt 1. A first servo motor 103 is fixed to the side of one of the side panels 101 to drive the conveyor belt 1. This first servo motor 103 can control the rotational distance of the conveyor belt 1, thereby adjusting the position of the front axle 10, improving welding accuracy, and meeting user requirements. In this solution, the bottom ends of the two first support rods 301 and second support rods 601 are fixed to the corresponding fixed plates 102.

[0059] A specific embodiment of the present invention is as follows:

[0060] When in use, the clamping position is adjusted according to the size of the front axle 10. Specifically, by turning the first hand wheel 208 to drive the first screw rod 203 to rotate, the slide 204 can be driven to slide along the slide groove 202, and then the position between the two slides 204 can be adjusted to adjust the position of the support and clamping of the front axle 10 at different positions. The front axle 10 is placed on the rubber pad 209 in the middle of the upper side of the support base 201, and then the second hand wheel 207 is turned to drive the second screw rod 205 to rotate, which can drive the clamping plate 206 at one end of the second screw rod 205 to clamp and fix the two ends of the front axle 10. Then, the conveyor belt 1 is driven to rotate by the first servo motor 103, so that the pre-clamped and fixed front axle 10 can be transported to the bottom of the feeding mechanism 5.

[0061] Then, the second servo motor 401 drives the transfer plate 402 to rotate, so that the support 11 inside the positioning groove 403 can be rotated to the top close to the front axle 10, and then the cylinder 507 drives the U-shaped block 504 to move, so that the U-shaped block 504 moves to one side of the support 11, and then the two electric push rods 506 simultaneously drive the two positioning plates 505 to clamp the support 11, and then the third servo motor 508 drives the first drive gear 509 to rotate, so that the first drive gear 509 rises along the fixed rack 510, so that the support 11 can be moved from the positioning groove 4 03 is taken out, and then the cylinder 507 drives the U-shaped block 504 to move in the opposite direction, so that the support 11 moves to the upper side of the loading chute 501, and then the third servo motor 508 drives the first driving gear 509 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the first driving gear 509 can be rotated in the opposite direction along the fixed rack 510, so that the third servo motor 508 descends, and then drives the slide 503 to descend along the vertical guide rail 502, so that the support 11 clamped on one side of the slide 503 descends to both sides of the front shaft 10 on the upper side of the conveyor belt 1, and presses the support 11 against both sides of the front shaft 10;

[0062] Then, the fourth servo motor 705 drives the second driving gear 704 to rotate, which can drive the driving rack 703 and the slide bar 702 to slide along the transverse guide rail 701, thereby driving the connecting plate 706 at one end of the slide bar 702 close to the front axle 10, so that the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 on the lower side of the connecting plate 706 are located on both sides of the support 11, and then the electric telescopic rod 708 drives the lifting plate 707 to descend, so that the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 are close to the support 11 and welded to the front axle 10. The fifth servo motor 810 then drives the positioning gear 809 to rotate, thereby simultaneously driving the first rack 807 and the second rack 808 to slide toward each other, thereby driving the first guide block 805 at one end of the first rack 807 to slide in the first guide groove 803, and simultaneously driving the second guide block 806 at one end of the second rack 808 to slide in the second guide groove 804, so that the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802 at the lower ends of the first guide block 805 and the second guide block 806 are close to the welding part of the support 11;

[0063] Then the sixth servo motor 905 drives the third driving gear 904 to rotate, and then drives the semicircular rack 903 to rotate, so that the semicircular guide bar 902 on one side of the semicircular rack 903 slides on the inner side of the semicircular guide groove 901. During the sliding process of the semicircular guide bar 903 inside the semicircular guide groove 901, the grinding head 912 on the lower side of the semicircular guide bar 903 is driven to rub along the weld part to grind the weld part. In the process of grinding, the ground oxide layer can also be adsorbed into the inside of the vacuum cleaner 906 and filtered through the vacuum cleaner 906, the air intake hose 907 and the air intake pipe 909, so that the exhausted gas is blown out through the air outlet hose 913 and the exhaust pipe 910, so that the weld part after adsorption is blown again. Finally, the third driving gear is driven by the sixth servo motor 905 904 rotates, thereby driving the semicircular rack 903 to rotate, so that the semicircular guide bar 902 on one side of the semicircular rack 903 slides on the inner side of the semicircular guide groove 901, which can drive the suspension bracket 908 on the lower side of the semicircular guide bar 902 to slide along the semicircular guide groove 901 on the lower side of the first semicircular plate 801 and the second semicircular plate 802, so that the welding guns on multiple suspension brackets 908 can perform continuous welding at different welding positions, and in the welding process, through the operation of the vacuum cleaner 906, the hot air at the high-temperature weld after welding can be sucked into the interior of the air intake hose 913 through the air intake pipe 909, and finally the hot air is blown out through the exhaust pipe 910 through the air outlet hose 913. Since the exhaust pipe 910 is at the front side of the welding gun 912, the weld will be preheated before welding.
