[0041] Please refer toFigure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 As shown, a specific application of this embodiment is as follows: the internal expansion clamping mechanism 3 includes a movable frame 33 slidably connected to the processing table 1. The movable frame 33 is rotatably connected to an outer tube 35, and the outer tube 35 is rotatably connected to an internal support mechanism 6 to achieve radial constraint on the tail tube. A motor 34 is fixedly installed on one side of one of the movable frames 33, and the motor 34 is drivenly connected to the outer tube 35 to drive the outer tube 35 to rotate. The output ends of the outer tube 35 and the motor 34 are both connected to gears, and the two gears mesh to realize the rotation of the outer tube 35. In addition, the motor 34 and the outer tube 35 can also be driven by a sprocket and chain transmission method.

[0042] By adjusting the position of the moving frame 33, the position of the inner expansion clamping mechanism 3 is adjusted, so that the two tail tubes are connected and the welding quality of the tail tubes is improved. Through the transmission connection between the motor 34 and the outer tube 35, the outer tube 35 and the inner support mechanism 6 are driven to rotate, so that the two tail tubes are welded in the circumferential direction through the multi-axis linear mold assembly 4.

[0043] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 As shown, a specific application of this embodiment is as follows: the inner support mechanism 6 includes a screw 61 rotatably connected to the outer tube 35, the screw 61 is threadedly connected to a screw sleeve 62, and the screw sleeve 62 and the outer tube 35 are hinged together by a hinge sleeve to four annularly distributed scissor lifters 63, and the scissor lifters 63 are rotatably connected to an L-shaped support plate 67.

[0044] Rotating the screw 61 drives the screw sleeve 62 to move linearly, which in turn pushes the L-shaped support plate 67 to open through the scissor lifter 63. Then, the tail tube is placed on the L-shaped support plate 67 to achieve radial constraint on the tail tube. In addition, in order to better adapt to the inner wall support and positioning of tail tubes of different diameters, ten arc-shaped abutments are usually installed on the side of the L-shaped support plate 67 away from the screw 61, so that the L-shaped support plate 67 can fit tightly against the inner wall of the tail tube, further improving the support effect on the inner wall of the tail tube.

[0045] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, a specific application of this embodiment is as follows: the two internal expansion clamping mechanisms 3 are connected by a drive assembly. The drive assembly includes a bidirectional screw 32 that is rotatably connected to the processing table 1, and the bidirectional screw 32 is threadedly connected to the moving frame 33. A motor 31 is fixedly installed at one end of the bidirectional screw 32, and the motor 31 is connected to the processing table 1 to drive the bidirectional screw 32 to rotate, thereby realizing the opposite or opposite movement of the positions of the two moving frames 33.

[0046] In order to make the two sides of the inner expansion clamping mechanism 3 synchronous movement, through the motor 31 work drive two-way screw 32 rotation, thereby pushing two moving frame 33 on the processing platform 1 slide towards each other, so that the inner support mechanism 6 automatically close to the tail pipe, realize the end positioning of the tail pipe.

[0047] As Figure 2 、 Figure 4 shown, two inner expansion clamping mechanism 3 through the transmission assembly transmission connection, transmission assembly one includes with one of the moving frame 33 rotationally connected spline shaft 36, and with another moving frame 33 rotationally connected spline sleeve 37, and spline sleeve 37 with spline shaft 36 plug-in, spline shaft 36 and spline sleeve 37 are respectively connected with two outer tube 35 transmission, spline shaft 36, outer tube 35 spline sleeve 37 are connected with toothed belt wheel one, and the vertical distribution of two toothed belt wheel one transmission connection has toothed belt one, using toothed belt wheel, toothed belt transmission mode for transmission, can effectively avoid the transmission slip.

[0048] When one of the outer tube 35 rotation, through the spline shaft 36 and spline sleeve 37 cooperation, can make both sides of the outer tube 35 can rotate synchronously, keep the consistency of the outer tube 35 movement, at the same time does not affect the position adjustment of the inner expansion clamping mechanism 3.

[0049] Please refer to Figure 4 、 Figure 6 shown, a specific application of the embodiment is: one of the outer tube 35 fixedly installed with bearing bracket 64, bearing bracket 64 rotationally connected with worm 65, screw 61 connection with the worm 65 meshing worm gear 66.

[0050] Through the rotation of the worm 65 drive one of the screw 61 rotation, so that the screw sleeve 62 on the screw 61 linear motion, using the scissors frame 63 will be a plurality of L type support plate 67 synchronous open, so that it is better to the tail pipe inner wall for radial constraint, using the worm 65 and worm gear 66 between the self locking, so that the screw 61, scissors frame 63, L type support plate 67 position is kept, and in the outer tube 35 rotation, inner support mechanism 6 will drive the tail pipe with the outer tube 35 rotation, to realize the circumferential welding of the tail pipe.

[0051] As Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6As shown, the two inner support mechanisms 6 are connected through a transmission assembly two, which includes a spline shaft two 69 rotatably connected with one of the moving frames one 33, and a spline sleeve two 68 rotatably connected with the other moving frame one 33. The spline shaft two 69 is inserted into the spline sleeve two 68. The spline shaft two 69 and the spline sleeve two 68 are both connected with two screw rods 61. The spline shaft two 69, the screw rod 61 and the spline sleeve two 68 are all connected with a toothed belt wheel two. Two vertically distributed toothed belt wheels two are connected through a toothed belt two. The toothed belt wheel and the toothed belt transmission mode can effectively prevent the transmission from slipping.

[0052] When it is necessary to adjust the two inner support mechanisms 6, the cooperation of the spline shaft two 69 and the spline sleeve two 68 can realize the synchronous adjustment of the two inner support mechanisms 6 by adjusting only one of the inner support mechanisms 6, so as to keep the consistency of the adjustment of the two L-shaped support plates 67, reduce the operation difficulty, and not affect the position adjustment of the inner expansion clamping mechanism 3.

[0053] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 12 The specific application of the embodiment is that the outer clamping mechanism 5 includes a moving frame two 53 connected with the machining table 1 in a sliding manner. The moving frame two 53 is hinged with a Y-shaped frame 59 through a hinge hole bolt 56. The Y-shaped frame 59 is rotatably connected with a rubber roller 54. The hinge hole bolt 56 is threadedly connected with a hand nut 55. The hand nut 55 is used to lock and fix the rotating position of the Y-shaped frame 59, so as to better clamp the tail pipe.

[0054] The Y-shaped frame 59 and the rubber roller 54 are moved to approach the tail pipe by moving the moving frame two 53. The Y-shaped frame 59 is rotated around the hinge hole bolt 56 by rotating the Y-shaped frame 59, so as to drive the rubber roller 54 to rotate. The rubber roller 54 better clamps the outer wall of the tail pipe. Then, the hinge hole bolt 56 is locked by the hand nut 55, so as to keep the current rotating position of the Y-shaped frame 59.

[0055] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 9 , Figure 11 The specific application of the embodiment is that the hinge hole bolt 56 is fixedly installed with a gear 57. The two gears 57 are engaged. The spring 58 is fixedly installed between the middle positions of the opposite sides of the two Y-shaped frames 59.

[0056] The rotation directions of the two hinge hole bolts 56 are opposite by the engagement of the two gears 57. Under the elastic force of the spring 58, the two rubber rollers 54 are synchronously rotated to adapt to the outer wall of the tail pipe, so as to improve the clamping effect of the outer wall of the tail pipe.

[0057] Please refer to Figure 8 , Figure 10As shown, one specific application of the embodiment is that the two outer clamping mechanisms 5 are connected through a driving assembly two, which includes a two-way screw two 52 rotatably connected with the machining table 1, a moving frame two 53 threadedly connected with the two-way screw two 52, and a motor three 51 fixedly installed at one end of the two-way screw two 52 and connected with the machining table 1.

[0058] In order to enable the two outer clamping mechanisms 5 to approach the automatic tail pipe, clamp the tail pipe from the outside to the inside, and align the welded side edges of the tail pipe, the motor three 51 is operated to drive the two-way screw two 52 to drive the two moving frames two 53 to move towards each other, thereby clamping the outer wall of the tail pipe.

[0059] In use, the inner diameter of the tail pipe before welding is measured first, the worm 65 is rotated by a hand wheel or handle to rotate the worm gear 66 and one of the screws 61, the screw sleeve 62 on the screw 61 is threadedly connected with the screw 61 to cause the scissors frame 63 to open the L-shaped support plates 67, the four L-shaped support plates 67 are synchronously opened to form a positioning sleeve for placing the tail pipe, when the screw is rotated, the toothed belt wheel two and the toothed belt two on the screw are rotated to rotate the spline shaft two 69 on the same side, the spline shaft two 69 and the spline sleeve two 68 are connected to synchronously rotate the spline sleeve two 68, the toothed belt wheel two and the toothed belt two on the same side of the spline sleeve two 68 are rotated to synchronously rotate the other screw 61, so that the two screws 61 can synchronously rotate in a circle, thereby keeping the opening adjustment of the two inner support mechanisms 6 consistent, avoiding the adjustment difference of the two inner support mechanisms 6 to adapt to the inner wall positioning of the tail pipe, and then placing the tail pipe to be welded on the positioning sleeve formed by the opening of the plurality of L-shaped support plates 67.

[0060] When the end of the tail pipe is positioned, the two-way screw one 32 is rotated by the motor one 31 to drive the two moving frames one 33 to move towards each other, thereby causing the two outer pipes 35 and the inner support mechanisms 6 to move towards each other, the plurality of L-shaped support plates 67 on the opposite sides can position the end of the tail pipe, thereby achieving the limiting and fixing of the end of the tail pipe.

[0061] When the radial constraint is performed on the outer wall of the tail pipe, the motor three 51 drives the bidirectional screw two 52 to rotate, drives the two moving frames two 53 to move towards each other, so that the rubber rollers 54 on the two moving frames two 53 approach the outer wall of the tail pipe, the hand screw nut 55 and the hinged hole bolt 56 can manually adjust the opening degree of the Y-shaped frame 59 and the rubber roller 54, so that the rubber roller 54 is tightly attached to the outer wall of the tail pipe, and the tail pipe is clamped from the outside to the inside, so that the to-be-welded side edges of the tail pipe approach each other and are attached and aligned, so as to reduce the gap of the to-be-welded side edges of the tail pipe and improve the positioning accuracy of the tail pipe. In addition, in order to better adapt to the clamping of tail pipes of different diameters, springs 58 and gears 57 can also be installed on the Y-shaped frame 59, the meshing of the two gears 57 enables the two Y-shaped frames 59 on the hand screw nut 55 to rotate in opposite directions, and the spring 58 provides elastic connection, so that the Y-shaped frame 59 and the rubber roller 54 adapt to the outer wall of the tail pipe, thereby better clamping the tail pipe.

[0062] When the tail pipe positioning is completed, the welding mechanism is driven by the multi-axis linear module assembly 4 to move linearly, realizing the welding operation of the automobile tail pipe. When the automobile tail pipe needs to be rotated and welded, the motor two 34 on one of the moving frames one 33 drives the outer pipe 35 arranged on the same side to rotate synchronously, and the outer pipe 35 drives the spline shaft one 36 arranged on the same side to rotate synchronously through the gear belt wheel one and the gear belt one arranged on the same side. Through the cooperation of the spline shaft one 36 and the spline sleeve one 37, the gear belt wheel one, the gear belt one and the outer pipe 35 on the other side are driven to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the self-locking effect of the worm 65 and the worm wheel 66 enables the two inner support mechanisms 6 to rotate synchronously with the outer pipe 35. At this time, the tail pipe can be welded in the circumferential direction through the welding mechanism.
