[0011] Preferably, when the diameter of the welding wire changes, the worker can drive the supporting shaft to slide by rotating the knob, and then drive the tension wheel to slide to change the tension force, so as to realize the use of welding wires with different diameters.

[0012] Preferably, the knob is provided with a limiting lug, and the working cavity is provided with a limiting groove; the working cavity limits the freedom of the limiting lug through the limiting groove to limit the horizontal sliding of the knob, so that the knob can only rotate, thereby ensuring the stability of the rotation of the knob and the stability of the movement of the tension wheel.

[0013] Preferably, the tensioning assembly comprises a centrifugal spring, a centrifugal plate, a baffle, a push rod, a driving rack, a return spring and a rotating wheel; one end of the centrifugal spring is fixedly installed in the mounting hole, and the other end of the centrifugal spring is fixedly installed with the centrifugal plate; when the wire feeding speed increases synchronously with the welding machine speed, the driving speed of the motor increases, and then the rotating speed of the rotating shaft increases, the centrifugal force generated when the rotating shaft rotates increases, and the moving distance of the centrifugal plate driven by the centrifugal spring increases when the rotating shaft rotates; the centrifugal plate is provided with a baffle on one side, and the centrifugal plate expands along the circumference under the action of the centrifugal force and contacts the baffle, and then pushes the baffle to slide horizontally; the baffle is slidably installed with the inner wall of the working cavity, and the lower end of the baffle is fixedly installed with the push rod; the push rod is provided with an inclined groove, and the side of the push rod provided with the inclined groove is provided with the driving rack; the driving rack is arranged perpendicularly to the push rod, and the driving rack is provided with an inclined groove matched with the push rod; the driving rack and the push rod are arranged perpendicularly to each other, and then the movement direction is changed through mutual extrusion of the inclined grooves, so that the horizontal sliding of the push rod is changed into the vertical sliding of the driving rack; the driving rack is slidably connected with the working cavity through the return spring, and the driving rack is provided with the rotating wheel above; the rotating wheel is fixedly connected with the knob, and the driving rack vertically slides upwards and meshes with the rotating wheel, so that the rotating wheel is driven to rotate, and the rotating wheel drives the knob fixedly connected therewith to rotate synchronously when the rotating wheel rotates, the knob drives the tensioning wheel to slide horizontally, the distance between the tensioning wheel and the wire feeding wheel is changed, and then the tensioning force is changed, so that the phenomenon of wire slipping caused by the increase of the wire feeding speed is avoided, and the fixing effect of the wire is enhanced, and the phenomenon of wire shaking caused by the large wire speed is reduced.

[0014] Preferably, the driving rack is in a disengaged state with the rotating wheel in an initial state, and the driving rack meshes with the rotating wheel only when the driving rack vertically slides upwards, so that the rotating wheel is driven to rotate, and therefore, when the tensioning force is adjusted due to the change of the wire diameter, the rotating wheel will not drive the driving wheel to rotate when the rotating wheel rotates with the knob.

[0015] Preferably, the baffle is provided with a force storage groove, and the force storage groove is located on one side of the centrifugal plate; the force storage groove is in a circular arc structure and is attached to the surface of the centrifugal plate; the force storage groove increases the contact area and contact time of the baffle and the centrifugal plate, and then enhances the pushing force of the centrifugal plate on the baffle, so as to ensure the sliding distance and stability of the baffle.

[0016] Preferably, the baffle is provided with a support plate, and the support plate is slidably installed with the support shaft; the support plate supports the support shaft, so as to avoid the shaking of the support shaft during the sliding process, and then ensure the stability of the sliding of the support shaft, so as to ensure the stability of the movement of the tensioning wheel and the stability of the tensioning force.

[0017] Preferably, the support plate is provided with a sliding rail, the support shaft is provided with a sliding groove matched with the support plate, and the sliding groove is provided with an extrusion protrusion. The sliding rail guides the sliding of the support shaft, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the support shaft. The extrusion protrusion is used to enhance the friction between the support shaft and the sliding rail. During the rotation of the centrifugal plate, the gap between the centrifugal plates gradually increases with the increase of the centrifugal force, thereby causing the sliding of the baffle to shake slightly, thereby affecting the sliding of the tensioning wheel. When the baffle is in the gap that is in contact with the centrifugal plate and tends to reset, the extrusion protrusion on the support shaft enhances the friction between the support shaft and the sliding rail, thereby offsetting the resetting tendency of the baffle and ensuring the stability of the baffle.

[0018] Preferably, the fixing assembly comprises a driven rack, a compression spring, a rotating disc, a sliding rod, and a fixing rod. The driven rack is oppositely installed with the driving rack and is engaged with the rotating wheel. The driven rack is slidably connected with the working cavity through the compression spring. The driven rack is provided with a driving block. The rotating disc is provided below the driven rack. The rotating disc is provided with a driving groove on the circumferential outer side. The rotating disc is provided with an arc-shaped groove. The sliding rod is slidably installed in the arc-shaped groove. The fixing rod is installed on the sliding rod. The fixing rod is provided with an arc surface matched with the welding wire. When the driving rack drives the rotating wheel to rotate and thereby changes the tensioning force, the rotating wheel drives the driven rack on the opposite side of the driving rack to slide. The driven rack and the driving rack are reversely displaced. The driven rack vertically slides downward. When the driven rack vertically slides downward, the driving block thereon extrudes the driving groove on the rotating disc, thereby driving the rotating disc to rotate. The rotating disc rotates to push the fixing plate to slide through the arc-shaped groove thereon. The fixing plate horizontally slides and extends under the action of the inner wall of the working cavity, thereby fixing the welding wire. The arc surface at the front end of the fixing plate enhances the acting force between the fixing plate and the welding wire, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the welding wire.

The diameter of the arc circle surrounded by the fixing plate matches the welding wire, thereby ensuring the fixing effect of the fixing plate.

[0020] Preferably, the fixing rod has fixing protrusions on both sides and fixing grooves on both sides of the working cavity. As the welding speed increases, the amplitude of the swaying of the welding wire tail increases synchronously. At this time, the sliding distance of the fixing plate gradually increases. During the sliding process of the fixing plate, the fixing protrusions on the fixing plate enter the fixing grooves one by one. As the sliding distance of the fixing plate increases, the number of fixing protrusions entering the fixing grooves increases, the friction between the fixing plate and the working cavity increases, and the sliding of the fixing plate becomes more stable, ensuring the fixing effect of the fixing plate on the welding wire. This makes the fixing effect increase synchronously with the swaying amplitude of the welding wire, ensuring the stability of the fixing. At the same time, it avoids damage to the surface of the welding wire due to excessive fixing.

[0021] Preferably, the arc surface is provided with a hemispherical top block, which is made of rubber. The hemispherical top block makes point contact with the welding wire, thereby reducing the contact area and enhancing the force on the welding wire, thus improving the fixing effect of the welding wire. At the same time, the hemispherical structure avoids scratching the surface of the welding wire, which would affect the quality of the welding wire. The rubber material of the hemispherical top block can absorb the vibration of the welding wire. In addition, the rubber material has insulating properties, which prevents the occurrence of electrical conductivity.

[0047] 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.

[0048] When welding between ship compartments, the welding robot mainly consists of a robotic arm and a welding torch. The welding robot achieves multi-axis rotation through its robotic arm, thereby realizing multi-angle welding. When the robotic arm rotates, it drives the fixedly connected welding torch to rotate synchronously. The welding torch feeds the welding wire through a wire feeding device inside. The welding wire is energized through a conductive tip and then comes into contact with the workpiece. A short circuit is formed between the welding wire and the workpiece, and the welding wire and the workpiece melt to complete the welding.

[0049] However, during the welding process, the welding speed varies in different areas. When the welding area changes, the welding speed may become too high. This can lead to a mismatch between the wire feeding speed and the welding speed, causing the wire feeding speed to be lower than the welding wire speed. This results in unstable wire feeding, which in turn causes the welding wire tail to wobble, ultimately reducing the welding quality.

[0050] The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0051] like Figures 1 to 14 As shown, a robot for welding in the segmented construction of ships includes a welding robot 1, a welding torch 2, a speed sensor 3, a wire feeding device 4, a tensioning assembly 5, and a fixing assembly 6. The welding robot 1 is equipped with a welding torch 2. The welding torch 2 is equipped with a speed sensor 3. A wire channel 21 is formed inside the welding torch 2, and a working chamber 22 communicating with the wire channel 21 is formed on the welding torch 2. A conductive nozzle 23 is installed inside the welding torch 2, and a wire feeding device 4 is positioned above the conductive nozzle 23. The wire feeding device 4 adjusts its wire feeding speed according to the welding speed. The tensioning assembly 5 is installed on the wire feeding device 4. When the wire feeding speed of the wire feeding device 4 increases, the wire feeding device 4 adjusts the wire tension through the tensioning assembly 5. The fixing assembly 6 is positioned below the tensioning assembly 5. When the wire feeding speed of the wire feeding device 4 increases, the tensioning assembly 5 drives the fixing assembly 6 to restrict the swaying of the wire tail end.

[0052] Specifically, the welding robot 1 is detachably mounted with the welding gun 2, the welding gun 2 and the welding robot 1 can be fixedly connected through threads, so that the welding robot 1 drives the welding gun 2 to move synchronously, and then the segmented welding of the ship is realized. The welding robot 1 can rotate at multiple angles, so that it can adapt to welding at different angles and improve the applicability of welding. The speed sensor 3 is fixedly installed on the surface of the welding gun 2, so that the moving speed of the welding gun 2 can be monitored in real time, and then the welding speed can be determined. The welding gun 2 is provided with a welding wire channel 21, which is located on the central axis of the welding gun 2 and penetrates the welding gun 2. The welding gun 2 is provided with a working cavity 22 which communicates with the welding wire channel 21. The welding gun 2 is provided with an electrically conductive nozzle 23. The electrically conductive nozzle 23 applies current to the welding wire, so that the welding wire and the workpiece can form a complete closed loop when they are in contact. The welding gun 2 is provided with a wire feeding device 4 above the electrically conductive nozzle 23. The welding wire channel 21 is used for the welding wire to enter. The entering welding wire moves downward under the action of the wire feeding device 4, and then the electrically conductive nozzle 23 is electrified. Then, under the action of the welding robot 1, the welding wire contacts the workpiece, the current forms a loop and short-circuits, and the welding wire melts to weld the workpiece.

[0053] The speed sensor 3 monitors the welding speed of the welding gun 2 in real time. When the welding speed increases, the speed sensor 3 sends an electrical signal to the control console, the control console controls the wire feeding speed of the wire feeding device 4 to increase, so that the wire feeding speed and the welding speed are kept uniform, avoiding the problem that the wire feeding speed is lower than the welding speed, resulting in incomplete penetration of the weld or increased spatter, affecting the welding quality. The wire feeding device 4 is provided with a tensioning assembly 5. When the wire feeding speed increases, the tensioning assembly 5 synchronously increases the tensioning force of the welding wire, which helps to fix the welding wire and avoid the phenomenon of slipping or unstable wire feeding, which causes the welding wire to shake and affects the welding quality. The tensioning assembly 5 is provided with a fixing assembly 6 below. When the welding speed increases, the tail end of the welding wire will slide, which will cause the welding to be convex, resulting in a decrease in welding quality. Therefore, the tail end of the welding wire is fixed by the fixing assembly 6 to avoid the shaking of the tail end of the welding wire and improve the welding quality.

[0054] In the embodiment, the wire feeding device 4 comprises a motor 41, a rotating shaft 42, a wire feeding wheel 43, a tensioning wheel 44, a supporting shaft 45 and a knob 46; the motor 41 is fixedly installed in the working cavity 22, and the motor 41 is fixedly connected with the rotating shaft 42; the rotating shaft 42 is provided with annularly arranged installation holes 421, the wire feeding wheel 43 is installed on the rotating shaft 42, and the tensioning wheel 44 is arranged on one side of the wire feeding wheel 43; the tensioning wheel 44 is rotatably installed on the inner wall of the working cavity 22 through the supporting shaft 45; the supporting shaft 45 is provided with a screw groove, and the knob 46 is rotatably installed on the supporting shaft 45; the knob 46 is rotatably installed on the working cavity 22, one end of the knob 46 penetrates through the working cavity 22 and is located outside the welding torch 2, and the other end of the knob 46 is provided with a screw thread matched with the screw groove;

[0056] Preferably, when the diameter of the welding wire changes, the staff can drive the supporting shaft 45 to slide by rotating the knob 46, and then drive the tensioning wheel 44 to slide to change the tensioning force, so as to realize the use of welding wires with different diameters.

[0057] In the embodiment, the knob 46 is provided with a limiting protrusion 461, and the working cavity 22 is provided with a limiting groove 221;

[0058] Specifically, the working cavity 22 limits the freedom of the limiting limiting block 461 through the limiting groove 221, and then limits the horizontal sliding of the knob 46, so that the knob 46 can only rotate, and then ensures the stability of the rotation of the knob 46, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the tensioning wheel 44.

[0059] In the embodiment, the tensioning assembly 5 comprises a centrifugal spring 51, a centrifugal plate 52, a baffle 53, a push rod 54, a driving rack 55, a return spring 56 and a rotating wheel 57; one end of the centrifugal spring 51 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole 421, and the other end of the centrifugal spring 51 is fixedly installed with the centrifugal plate 52; one side of the centrifugal plate 52 is provided with the baffle 53; the baffle 53 is slidably installed with the inner wall of the working cavity 22, and the lower end of the baffle 53 is fixedly installed with the push rod 54; the push rod 54 is provided with an inclined groove 541, and one side of the push rod 54 provided with the inclined groove 541 is provided with the driving rack 55; the driving rack 55 is vertically arranged with the push rod 54, and the driving rack 55 is provided with the inclined groove 541 matched with the push rod 54; the driving rack 55 is slidably connected with the working cavity 22 through the return spring 56, and the upper side of the driving rack 55 is provided with the rotating wheel 57; the rotating wheel 57 is fixedly connected with the knob 46;

[0060] Specifically, one end of the centrifugal spring 51 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole 421, and the other end of the centrifugal spring 51 is fixedly installed with the centrifugal plate 52. The centrifugal spring 51 can be fixedly connected with the centrifugal plate 52 and the rotating shaft 42 through welding or gluing. When the wire feeding speed increases synchronously with the welding machine speed, the driving speed of the motor 41 increases, and then the rotating speed of the rotating shaft 42 increases. The centrifugal force generated when the rotating shaft 42 rotates increases, and the moving distance of the centrifugal plate 52 driven by the centrifugal spring 51 increases when the rotating shaft 42 rotates. One side of the centrifugal plate 52 is provided with a baffle 53, and the side of the baffle 53 in contact with the working cavity 22 is provided with a sliding block for ensuring the sliding connection of the baffle 53 and the working cavity 22. The centrifugal plate 52 expands along the circumference under the action of the centrifugal force and contacts the baffle 53, and then pushes the baffle 53 to slide horizontally. The lower end of the baffle 53 is fixedly installed with a push rod 54. The push rod 54 is provided with an inclined groove 541. One side of the push rod 54 provided with the inclined groove 541 is provided with a driving rack 55. The driving rack 55 is arranged vertically with the push rod 54. The driving rack 55 is provided with an inclined groove 541 matched with the push rod 54.

The rotating wheel 57 is fixedly connected with the knob 46. The driving rack 55 vertically slides upward and engages with the rotating wheel 57, and then drives the rotating wheel 57 to rotate. The rotating wheel 57 drives the knob 46 fixedly connected therewith to rotate synchronously when the rotating wheel 57 rotates. The knob 46 drives the tensioning wheel 44 to slide horizontally, changes the distance between the tensioning wheel 44 and the wire feeding wheel 43, and then changes the tensioning force, so as to avoid the occurrence of the phenomenon that the wire slips due to the increase of the wire feeding speed, enhances the fixing effect of the wire, and reduces the phenomenon that the wire shakes due to the large wire speed.

[0061] Preferably, the driving rack 55 is in a disengaged state with the rotating wheel 57 in an initial state. The driving rack 55 engages with the rotating wheel 57 only when the driving rack 55 vertically slides upward, and then drives the rotating wheel 57 to rotate.

During the rotation of the centrifugal plate 52, the gap between the centrifugal plates 52 gradually increases with the increase of the centrifugal force, so as to cause the slight shaking of the sliding of the baffle 53, and thus affect the sliding of the tensioning wheel 44. When the baffle 53 is in the gap and tends to reset, the extrusion protrusion 4511 on the supporting shaft 45 enhances the friction between the supporting shaft 45 and the sliding rail 5321, so as to offset the reset tendency of the baffle 53 and guarantee the stability of the baffle 53.
