Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of profile frame welding technology, specifically a rotary welding device for assembling profile frames. Background Technology
[0002] In many fields such as construction, machinery manufacturing and furniture manufacturing, profile frames are important structural components. Their assembly accuracy and welding quality directly affect the performance and aesthetics of the final product. Square profile frames are usually made of four profiles welded at 90 degrees to form a stable frame structure to meet the load-bearing and fixing requirements in different application scenarios.
[0003] In the assembly process of square profile frames, the rotary welding platform is a key piece of equipment and is widely used to achieve efficient and precise welding of the profile frames. The rotary welding platform can not only provide stable support to keep the profile frames in a fixed position during the welding process, but also enable the welding robot to perform all-round welding around the profile frames through the rotation function, which greatly improves welding efficiency and flexibility.
[0004] However, existing rotary welding platforms for assembling profile frames still have many shortcomings in design and application. First, existing rotary welding platforms often struggle to adaptively clamp square profile frames of different sizes. Second, the linkage and coordination between existing rotary welding platforms and welding robots are insufficient. When welding profile frames of different sizes, it is often necessary to manually reset the welding coordinates of the welding robot according to the profile size. This process is cumbersome and prone to errors, which seriously affects welding efficiency and accuracy. In addition, due to the lack of an automated size information transmission mechanism, the welding robot cannot automatically adjust the welding coordinates according to the profile size on the rotary welding platform, which further limits the level of automation of welding operations.
[0005] Secondly, existing rotary welding platforms also have shortcomings in levelness detection. During installation, the rotary welding platform is usually adjusted to a level state. However, with the extension of the usage time, due to the influence of various factors such as heat radiation, mechanical vibration, and foundation settlement, the levelness of the rotary welding platform may gradually deviate. This levelness deviation will directly affect the welding coordinates of the welding robot, leading to welding failure or welding deviation. This is because the welding robot uses the level plane of the rotary welding platform as a reference to position the welding coordinates when welding. Once the levelness of the rotary welding platform deviates, the welding position of the welding robot will also shift accordingly, thus affecting the welding quality. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rotary welding device for assembling profile frames, in order to solve the problems in the prior art that are unable to adaptively clamp square profile frames of different sizes, lack of linkage between the rotary welding platform and the welding robot resulting in the need for manual adjustment of welding coordinates, and inability to detect and adjust the level of the rotary welding platform in real time, thus affecting the welding quality.

The top of the rotating cylinder has four first moving slots equidistantly spaced from top to bottom along the circumference. The platform is located at the top of the rotating cylinder. The four corners of the top of the platform have second moving slots that extend vertically through the cylinder in the inward and outward directions.

[0011] Preferably, the encoder at the output end of the third motor records the number of rotations in real time.

[0016] The rotary welding device for assembling profile frames proposed in this invention has the following advantages:
[0017] 1. This invention utilizes an adaptive clamping mechanism design, employing a third motor to drive the second screw to rotate, thereby moving the lifting plate and connecting cylinder up and down. This, in turn, pushes or pulls the four clamping plates to move inward or outward simultaneously via connecting rods, achieving adaptive clamping of square profile frames of different sizes. Furthermore, the spring force can be used to apply appropriate clamping force to the profile frame through the clamping plates. This process eliminates the need for frequent manual adjustments, improving clamping efficiency and accuracy.
[0018] 2. During the clamping process of the profile frame, the number of rotations at the output end of the third motor is recorded by the encoder. Combined with the height of the button switch in the clamping force adjustment component, the size of the profile frame can be automatically calculated and transmitted to the automatic welding robot to achieve automatic positioning of the welding coordinates. This mechanism significantly reduces the time and error of manual adjustment and improves welding efficiency.
[0019] 3. The present invention has a built-in tilt sensor that can monitor the levelness of the platform in real time. When a levelness deviation is detected, the system automatically starts the second motor in the balancing mechanism. Through the cooperation of the first screw and the lifting leg, the height of the base is adjusted until the platform is restored to a level state. This function effectively avoids welding failure or deviation caused by levelness deviation and improves welding quality.
[0020] 4. The present invention achieves a high degree of synchronization in the movement of the four clamping plates through the design of a synchronous component, including a rotating rod, a drive groove, a drive block, a first bevel gear, a third rotating rod, a second bevel gear, a first gear, a fourth rotating rod, and a second gear. This synchronization not only ensures uniform clamping of the profile frame and reduces the risk of profile deformation caused by uneven clamping force, but also improves the stability of clamping and reduces clamping loosening or positional displacement caused by external interference.
[0021] 5. This device, through its adaptive clamping mechanism design, can flexibly adapt to square profile frames of different sizes. The linkage mechanism enables information exchange between the welding robot and the rotating welding platform, automatically positioning the welding coordinates, reducing manual adjustments, and improving welding efficiency and accuracy. At the same time, it monitors the levelness of the rotating welding platform in real time to ensure accurate welding reference and avoid welding failures or deviations caused by levelness deviations, thus comprehensively improving welding quality and stability.

[0037] Please see Figures 1-13This invention provides a technical solution for a rotary welding device for assembling profile frames, comprising: a base 1, a rotating assembly, a balancing mechanism 9, a rotating cylinder 10, a first moving groove 11, a platform 12, a second moving groove 13, a sliding groove 14, a first guide rod 15, an adaptive clamping mechanism 8, and a tilt sensor 16. The rotating assembly is disposed within the inner cavity of the base 1 and drives the rotating cylinder to rotate, achieving automatic switching of the welding position. The balancing mechanism 9 is disposed at the bottom end of the base 1 and automatically adjusts the levelness of the base 1 to ensure that the platform 12 remains level during long-term use. The outer wall of the rotating cylinder 10 is rotatably disposed at the top end of the inner cavity of the base 1 via bearings, and the top end of the rotating cylinder 10 rotatably extends out of the inner cavity of the base 1. The middle part of the bottom end of the rotating cylinder 10 is disposed at the top end of the rotating assembly, which drives the rotating cylinder 10 to rotate. Four first moving grooves 11 are equidistantly arranged from top to bottom along the circumferential direction at the top end of the rotating cylinder 10. The rotating cylinder 10 supports the platform 12 and drives its rotation. The platform 12 is disposed within the rotating cylinder. At the top of the platform 10, the four corners of the platform 12 are provided with a second moving groove 13 that runs vertically through the inside and outside. The positions of the four second moving grooves 13 correspond one-to-one with the positions of the four first moving grooves 11. The inner cavities of the second moving grooves 13 are provided with sliding grooves 14 on both the left and right sides. The platform 12 serves as a platform for placing the profile frame and provides a stable support surface. The two ends of the first guide rod 15 are respectively set on the inner and outer sides of the inner cavity of the sliding groove 14. The first guide rod 15 is used to guide the slider 84 and ensure that the clamping plate 83 maintains linear motion during the movement. The adaptive clamping mechanism 8 is set in the inner cavity of the rotating cylinder 10. The adaptive clamping mechanism 8 can adaptively clamp profile frames of different sizes to ensure the stability and accuracy of the profile frames during the welding process. The tilt sensor 16 is set in the middle of the top of the inner cavity of the platform 12. The tilt sensor 16 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The tilt sensor 16 is used to monitor the levelness of the platform 12 in real time. When the levelness deviates, a signal is sent to trigger the balancing mechanism 9 to adjust.
[0038] As a preferred embodiment, the adaptive clamping mechanism 8 further includes: clamping plates 83, sliders 84, connecting rods 824, connecting cylinders 817, a synchronization component, and a drive component. There are four clamping plates 83, with the outer walls of each clamping plate 83 slidably fitted into the inner cavities of four second moving slots 13. The upper and lower sides of each clamping plate 83 slidably extend from the upper and lower sides of the second moving slots 13. Anti-slip rubber is provided on the inner side of each clamping plate 83. The clamping plates 83, as components that directly clamp the profile frame, achieve adaptive clamping of profile frames of different sizes through their movement. There are eight sliders 84, each located in the middle of the left and right sides of the four clamping plates 83. The eight sliders 84 slidably fitted into the inner cavities of eight sliding slots 14. The sliders 84 are slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the first guide rod 15. The sliders 84 are used to ensure the stability and accuracy of the clamping plates 83 during movement. The top end of the connecting rod 824 is rotatably mounted on the bottom end of the clamping plate 83 via a pin. The outer walls of the four connecting rods 824 are slidably fitted into the inner cavities of the four first moving slots 11. The connecting rods 824 can pull the clamping plate 83 to open and close. The bottom ends of the four connecting rods 824 are rotatably mounted on the four corners of the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 817 via pins. The outer wall of the connecting cylinder 817 is provided with several limiting slots 818 that communicate with its inner cavity at equal intervals from top to bottom along the circumferential direction. The up and down movement of the connecting cylinder 817 can realize the opening and closing of the clamping plate 83 by the connecting rods 824. The synchronization component is set in the inner cavity of the platform 12. The synchronization component can improve the synchronicity of the movement of the four clamping plates 83, ensuring that the four clamping plates 83 can move simultaneously and at the same speed during the clamping process, thereby achieving uniform clamping of the profile frame. The drive component is set at the bottom end of the inner cavity of the rotating cylinder 10. The drive component can drive the four clamping plates 83 to move.
[0039] The drive assembly includes: a third motor 812, a second screw 813, a lifting plate 814, a limit block 815, a spring 816, and a clamping force adjustment assembly. The third motor 812 is screwed to the middle of the bottom end of the inner cavity of the rotating drum 10. An encoder is provided at the output end of the third motor 812. The third motor 812 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. As the core power source of the drive assembly, the third motor 812 provides rotational power for the adaptive clamping mechanism 8. The bottom end of the second screw 813 is connected to... The coupling locks the output end of the third motor 812. The top end of the second screw 813 is rotatably mounted at the bottom center of the platform 12 via a bearing. The connecting cylinder 817 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the second screw 813. The lifting plate 814 is screwed to the outer wall of the second screw 813 and slidably fitted into the top end of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 817. The lifting plate 814 serves as a component connecting the second screw 813 and the connecting cylinder 817, and its up-and-down movement drives the connecting cylinder 817. The movement of the cylinder 817 is influenced by several limiting blocks 815. These limiting blocks 815 are equidistantly arranged circumferentially on the outer wall of the lifting plate 814. Each limiting block 815 is slidably fitted into the inner cavity of a limiting groove 818. A spring 816 is embedded in the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 817, with its bottom end engaged with the bottom end of the inner cavity of the connecting cylinder 817 and its top end engaged with the bottom end of the lifting plate 814. The spring 816 is a rotary spring, subject to external force. After being compressed or stretched, the spring undergoes elastic deformation and returns to its initial state after the external force is removed. The spring 816 is used to connect the lifting plate 814 and the connecting cylinder 817 and to push the connecting cylinder 817 downward. Thus, the elastic force of the spring 816 can be used to clamp the profile frame with the clamping plate 83. The clamping force adjustment component is set on the outer wall of the connecting cylinder 817. The clamping force adjustment component is used to adjust the clamping force of the clamping plate 83 on the profile frame to adapt to profile frames of different materials and thicknesses.
[0040] The clamping force adjustment assembly includes a lifting component, an adjusting plate 822, and a push-button switch 823.

The adjusting plate 822 is located on the outer wall of the lifting component and is driven to move up and down. The inner side of the adjusting plate 822 is slidably fitted into the inner cavity of one of the limiting grooves 818. The adjusting plate 822, as the moving part of the clamping force adjustment assembly, changes the height of the push-button switch 823 by moving up and down, thereby adjusting the clamping force. 823 is located at the top of the adjustment plate 822. The button switch 823 is located in the inner cavity of the limiting groove 818. The position of the button switch 823 corresponds to the position of the limiting block 815. The button switch 823 is electrically connected to the third motor 812. The button switch 823 serves as the sensing component of the clamping force adjustment assembly. When the limiting block 815 presses the button switch 823, the third motor 812 can be automatically turned off. The encoder at the output end of the third motor 812 records the number of rotations in real time. After the adaptive clamping mechanism 8 completes clamping, the size data of the profile frame is calculated by combining the pitch of the second screw 813 and the preset height of the button switch 823 in the clamping force adjustment assembly, based on the number of rotations recorded by the encoder.
[0041] The lifting assembly includes a second guide rod 819, a fourth motor 820, and a third screw 821.

Eight drive blocks 85 are eight in number, each positioned on the left and right sides of the inner cavities of the four clamping plates 83. The eight drive blocks 85 are slidably fitted into the inner cavities of the eight drive slots 82.

The base plates 92 are slidably fitted onto the outer walls of the lifting legs 91, and each base plate 92 has a rubber pad 95 at its bottom. The base plates 92 serve as the supporting foundation for the lifting legs 91 and also bear the load. The weight of the entire device is provided by the rubber pad 95 at its bottom, which contacts the ground to provide stable support and shock absorption. The second motor 93 is screwed to the bottom of the inner cavity of the foot 92. The second motor 93 and the tilt sensor 16 are electrically connected. The second motor 93 is existing technology and will not be described in detail here. The second motor 93 serves as the power source for driving the lifting leg 91 to rise and fall. Its rotational motion drives the first screw 94 to rotate, thereby realizing the lifting adjustment of the lifting leg 91. The bottom end of the first screw 94 is locked to the output end of the second motor 93 through a coupling. The lifting leg 91 is screwed to the outer wall of the first screw 94.
[0044] As a preferred embodiment, the rotating assembly further includes: a first rotating rod 2, a first sprocket 3, a second rotating rod 4, a second sprocket 5, a first motor 6, and a chain 7. The bottom end of the first rotating rod 2 is rotatably mounted at the center of the bottom of the inner cavity of the base 1 via a bearing.

The first motor 6 serves as the power source of the rotating assembly. Its rotation drives the second rotating rod 4 and the second sprocket 5 to rotate, thereby driving the entire rotating assembly to work. The two ends of the chain 7 are respectively sleeved on the outer walls of the first sprocket 3 and the second sprocket 5. The chain 7 serves as a transmission component, transmitting the rotational power of the second sprocket 5 to the first sprocket 3, thereby driving the first rotating rod 2 and the rotating drum 10 to rotate.
[0045] Its detailed connection method is a well-known technology in this field. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, and the specific work is as follows.
[0046] Step 1: In use, first adjust the height of the button switch 823 according to the material of the profile frame to be welded, to prevent the clamping force applied by the clamping plate 83 to the profile frame from being too large and causing deformation of the profile frame. Start the fourth motor 820, and use the output end of the fourth motor 820 to drive the third screw 821 to rotate. The rotational force generated by the rotation of the third screw 821 can cause the adjusting plate 822 to move up and down, so that the adjusting plate 822 can drive the button switch 823 to move up and down until the button switch 823 is at a suitable distance from the bottom of the limit block 815. Turn off the fourth motor 820 and start the third motor 812, and use the output end of the third motor 812 to drive the second screw 813 to rotate. The rotational force generated by the rotation of the second screw 813 can cause the lifting plate 814 to move upward, so that the lifting plate 814 can push the connecting cylinder 817 to move upward. The upward movement of the connecting cylinder 817 can push the clamping plate 83 to move outward through the connecting rod 824 until it moves to a suitable position.
[0047] Step 2: Pre-fix the connecting corners of the square profile frame to be welded by spot welding. Place the pre-fixed square profile frame on the top of platform 12, and make the four sides of the square profile correspond to the four clamping plates 83 respectively. Start the third motor 812, and use the output end of the third motor 812 to drive the second screw 813 to rotate in the opposite direction. The rotational force generated by the rotation of the second screw 813 can cause the lifting plate 814 to move downward. The downward movement of the lifting plate 814 can be pushed by the spring 816 to move the connecting cylinder 817 downward synchronously with the lifting plate 814. The downward movement of the connecting cylinder 817 can be used by the connecting rod 824 to pull the four clamping plates 83 to move inward synchronously. As the clamping plates 83 move inward, they drive the driving block 85 to slide inward along the inner cavity of the driving groove 82. When the clamping plates 83 slide along the inner cavity of the second moving groove 13, the rotating rod 81 rotates in tandem with the clamping plates 83. This rotation of the rotating rod 81 drives the first bevel gear 86 to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear 86 engages with the second bevel gear 88, causing the third rotating rod 87 to drive the first gear 89 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 89 then drives the second gear 811 to rotate. Since all four first gears 89 mesh with the second gear 811, the movement of the four clamping plates 83 is improved. The synchronization of movement ensures that the four clamping plates 83 move in a highly synchronized manner, thus avoiding uneven clamping of the profile frame due to asynchronous movement of the four clamping plates 83. This reduces the risk of profile deformation caused by uneven clamping force and makes the clamping plates 83 more stable when clamping the profile frame, reducing the risk of loosening or positional displacement caused by external interference (such as vibration). The clamping plates 83 continue to contact the four edges of the profile frame until they are in contact with each other. At this point, the profile frame blocks the clamping plates 83 from moving further inward, preventing the connecting cylinder 817 from moving further downward. Consequently, the continued downward movement of the lifting plate 814 gradually reduces the distance between the lifting plate 814 and the push-button switch 823. The spring 816 is compressed and undergoes elastic deformation until the limit block 815 and the button switch 823 come into contact. The limit block 815 presses the button switch 823, at which point the third motor 812 is turned off. The elastic force of the spring 816 can then provide a suitable clamping force for the profile frame. The encoder on the third motor 812 can record the number of rotations at the output end of the third motor 812. Based on the number of rotations at the output end of the third motor 812 and the height of the button switch 823, the size of the profile frame can be calculated. The calculated size signal of the profile frame is then transmitted to the automatic welding robot, which can help the automatic welding robot automatically locate the coordinates of the position to be welded.
[0048] Step 3: When automatically welding the profile frame on platform 12 using a welding robot, the first motor 6 can be started as welding progresses. The output of the first motor 6 drives the second rotating rod 4 to rotate. The rotation of the second rotating rod 4 drives the second sprocket 5 to rotate. The rotation of the second sprocket 5, in turn, causes the first rotating rod 2 to rotate through the cooperation between the chain 7 and the first sprocket 3. This, in turn, drives the rotating drum 10 and platform 12 to rotate, which in turn drives the profile frame to rotate, automatically changing the welding position. The tilt sensor 16 can monitor the levelness of platform 12 in real time. When the levelness of platform 12 deviates due to use, the tilt sensor 16 can transmit the monitored signal to the second motor 93, thereby activating one or more of the second motors 93. The rotation of the output of the second motor 93 drives the first screw 94 to rotate. The rotational force generated by the rotation of the first screw 94 causes the lifting leg 91 to move the base 1 upward, thereby adjusting the levelness of platform 12 until platform 12 is adjusted to a level state.
[0049] In summary, this device, through its adaptive clamping mechanism design, can flexibly adapt to square profile frames of different sizes. Its linkage mechanism enables information exchange between the welding robot and the rotating welding platform, automatically positioning the welding coordinates, reducing manual adjustments, and improving welding efficiency and accuracy. Simultaneously, it monitors the levelness of the rotating welding platform in real time to ensure accurate welding references, avoiding welding failures or deviations caused by levelness discrepancies, thus comprehensively improving welding quality and stability.
