Detailed Implementation
[0040] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 18 As shown, this fully automatic pipe-laying and welding machine for IBC (Iron Chamber) ton-bucket frames includes a first feeding mechanism 1, a second feeding mechanism 2, a transfer mechanism 3, and a welding platform 4. The first feeding mechanism 1 has a first feeding component 5 and a second feeding component 6, and the second feeding mechanism 2 has a third feeding component 7 and a fourth feeding component 8. The first feeding mechanism 1 and the second feeding mechanism 2 are located on both sides of the transfer mechanism 3. The transfer mechanism 3 has a first transfer component 9 that cooperates with the first feeding mechanism 1 and a second transfer component 10 that cooperates with the second feeding mechanism 2.
[0042] The welding platform 4 is provided with a welding mechanism 11 in the middle. The welding platform 4 is provided with multiple clamping mechanisms 12. Each clamping mechanism 12 has a base plate 13 and clamping components 14 symmetrically arranged on the base plate 13. The clamping components 14 are connected to the base plate 13 by bolts, and the clamping mechanism 12 is installed on the welding platform 4 by bolts.
[0043] The welding platform 4 is equipped with a conveying mechanism to convey the placed rods, which are then welded by the welding mechanism 11.
[0044] The first feeding mechanism 1 is used to convey the short rod 15, which determines the height of the ton container frame. The second feeding mechanism 2 is used to convey the long rod 16, which determines the circumference of the ton container. Both the short rod 15 and the long rod 16 have two different structures, so they need to be conveyed separately. Therefore, the first feeding mechanism 1 for conveying the short rod 15 has a first feeding component 5 and a second feeding component 6, and the same applies to the long rod 16. The second feeding mechanism 2 has a third feeding component 7 and a fourth feeding component 8. Then, the components are transferred by the transfer mechanism 3, which has a first transfer component 9 and a second transfer component 10. The first transfer component 9 is used to transfer the short rod 15 from the first feeding mechanism 1, while the second transfer component 10 is used to transfer the long rod 16 from the second feeding mechanism 2.
[0045] During the transfer by the transfer mechanism 3, the long rod 16 is first clamped and placed on the welding platform 4, and clamped and limited by the clamping mechanism 12. Then, the short rod 15 is clamped and placed on the welding platform 4, and clamped and limited by the clamping mechanism 12. This ensures that there will be no positional shift when the long rod 16 and the short rod 15 are moved on the welding platform 4, thus ensuring the accuracy of the ton frame welding.
[0046] The welding platform 4, welding mechanism 11, first feeding mechanism 1, second feeding mechanism 2 and transfer mechanism 3 in this application can all be implemented using existing technology, so they will not be described in detail here.
[0047] like Figure 6 As shown, in the prior art, a clamping seat 17 is provided on the welding platform 4, and a clamping block 18 is provided on the clamping seat 17. A spring 19 is provided between the clamping block 18 and the clamping seat 17, so that the rod is clamped by the spring 19. However, it cannot be adapted to rods of different widths. Therefore, this application redevelops a clamping mechanism 12 that can limit the position of rods of different widths.
[0048] A clamping area 33 is formed between the clamping assembly 14 and the clamping assembly 14. The clamping assembly 14 includes a housing 20, a sliding seat 21 and a clamping member 22. The sliding seat 21 is disposed inside the housing 20, and the clamping member 22 is disposed inside the sliding seat 21.
[0049] The housing 20 has a hollowed-out center to form a sliding chamber 23. The housing 20 has an insertion hole 24, and a locking member 25 is provided in the insertion hole 24. The locking member 25 consists of a horizontal block 26 and a vertical block 27. The horizontal block 26 is located outside the housing 20, while the vertical block 27 can enter the sliding chamber 23 through the insertion hole 24 to cooperate with the limiting member 38.
[0050] The sliding seat 21 is arranged in the sliding chamber 23, and the sliding seat 21 is provided with symmetrical sliding portions 28, and an opening slot 29 is formed between the sliding portions 28, and a rack 30 is arranged in the opening slot 29, and the rack 30 is provided with teeth 31, and a tooth slot 32 is formed between the teeth 31, and the tooth slot 32 is limited by a limiting piece 38. A moving slot 34 matched with the rack 30 is arranged in the inside of the shell 20.
[0051] The sliding portion 28 of the sliding seat 21 is provided with a limiting protrusion 35, and the inside of the sliding chamber 23 is provided with a limiting sliding slot 36 matched with the limiting protrusion 35. The sliding seat 21 is limited in the sliding chamber 23 of the shell 20 by the matching of the limiting protrusion 35 and the limiting sliding slot 36, so that the sliding seat 21 is prevented from moving out of the sliding chamber 23.
[0052] The sliding chamber 23 is provided with a tension spring 37 and the limiting piece 38, and the limiting piece 38 is hinged in the shell 20 by a hinge rod 39. One end of the tension spring 37 is connected with the inner wall of the sliding chamber 23, and the other end is connected with the limiting piece 38, and the lower end of the limiting piece 38 is engaged with the rack 30.
[0053] The limiting piece 38 is composed of a limiting end 40 and a hinge end 41, and the hinge end 41 is hinged in the inside of the shell 20 by the hinge rod 39, and the hinge end 41 is provided with a locking port 42 matched with the locking piece 25, and the vertical block 27 is inserted in the locking port 42, and the limiting piece 38 is provided with a guide inclined surface 43 and a third blocking surface 442 arranged vertically.
[0054] The sliding chamber 23 is provided with a first connecting body 45, and the limiting piece 38 is provided with a second connecting body 46, and one end of the tension spring 37 is connected with the first connecting body 45, and the other end is connected with the second connecting body 46.
[0055] The elastic force of the tension spring 37 is N1, the elastic force of the first spring 47 is N2, the elastic force of the second spring 48 is N3, and N1>N2+N3. Since the elastic force of the tension spring 37 is greater than the elastic force of the first spring 47 and the second spring 48, and the sum of the elastic force of the first spring 47 and the second spring 48 is also less than the elastic force of the tension spring 37, the clamping piece 22 can compress the first spring 47, and the blocking body 49 can compress the second spring 48 by matching the resisting piece 50, and at this time, the sliding seat 21 will be subjected to the thrust of the first spring 47 and the second spring 48, and it is impossible to move the limiting piece 38 by the rack 30, because the limiting piece 38 is limited by the tension spring 37, so even if the locking piece 25 is not inserted into the insertion hole 24, the limiting piece 38 will not be rotated. The locking piece 25 is only used to play an insurance effect, so that when the welding platform 4 is deviated due to failure, the clamping piece 22 can be limited by the locking piece 25 to limit the position of the limiting piece 38.
[0056] The inside of the sliding part 28 has a first sliding hole 51 and a second sliding hole 52, the inner diameter of the first sliding hole 51 is larger than that of the second sliding hole 52. The first sliding hole 51 and the second sliding hole 52 form a first blocking surface 44 which blocks the first spring 47. The first sliding hole 51 is provided with a clamping piece 22, the second sliding hole 52 is provided with a contact piece 50, the clamping piece 22 is provided with a sliding sleeve 53 which is inserted into the first sliding hole 51, the outside of the sliding sleeve 53 is provided with the first spring 47, the first spring 47 is arranged in the first sliding hole 51, the middle of the sliding sleeve 53 forms a movable hole 54, the movable hole 54 is provided with the second spring 48, a part of the contact piece 50 extends into the movable hole 54 and contacts the second spring 48.
[0057] The contact piece 50 is composed of a first column 55 and a second column 56, the diameter of the first column 55 is larger than that of the second column 56, the first column 55 is in contact with the second spring 48 in the movable hole 54, and the second column 56 is in the second sliding hole 52. The first column 55 and the second column 56 form a second blocking surface 441 which cooperates with a second closing part 57.
[0058] One side of the sliding seat 21 is provided with a limiting hole 58, the limiting hole 58 is provided with a first closing part 59 which is symmetrically arranged. The clamping piece 22 is composed of a clamping end 60, a connecting column 61 and the sliding sleeve 53, the sliding sleeve 53 is provided with the second closing part 57, and the connecting column 61 is provided with a blocking part 62 which cooperates with the first closing part 59. Through the cooperation of the first closing part 59 and the blocking part 62, the position of the clamping piece 22 can be limited, so as to avoid that the clamping piece 22 is pushed out by the first spring 47.
[0059] The clamping end 60 is provided with a first guide inclined surface 63, a second guide inclined surface 64 and a clamping surface 65, the first guide inclined surface 63 and the second guide inclined surface 64 are connected through a first arc surface 66, and the second guide inclined surface 64 and the clamping surface 65 are connected through a second arc surface 67.
[0060] Since the second spring 48 is in the middle of the clamping piece 22, and the second spring 48 and the contact piece 50 can move together with the clamping piece 22, the first spring 47 can be compressed first, then the contact piece 50 is blocked by the blocking body 49, the contact piece 50 is kept to be pushed, and then the second spring 48 is compressed.
[0061] The second sliding hole 52 is further provided with a blocking body 49, and a moving gap 68 is formed between the blocking body 49 and the second column 56. The transverse length of the first guide slope 63 is greater than the moving gap 68, so that when the rod is placed, the rod can be first guided by the first guide slope 63, the rod pushes the clamping member 22 first, so that the clamping member 22 is compressed first, then the rod reaches the second guide slope 64, the second guide slope 64 is kept being pushed by the rod, the abutting member 50 is kept being in contact with the blocking body 49, so that the second spring 48 is compressed, and finally the rod is in contact with the clamping surface 65, at this time the clamping member 22 is pressed by the elastic forces of the first spring 47 and the second spring 48, the clamping member 22 is clamped on the rod in the clamping area 33, the stability of the rod is kept, and the placing work of the transfer mechanism 3 is facilitated.
[0062] When the size of the clamping area 33 needs to be adjusted, the locking member 25 is first taken out, then the sliding seat 21 is pushed or pulled, the rack 30 on the sliding seat 21 pushes the limiting member 38 to compress the tension spring 37 and make the limiting member 38 rotate around the hinge rod 39, so that the limiting member 38 is in the tooth groove 32 in different positions.
[0063] The above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
