Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of welding equipment technology, specifically a welding equipment for new energy vehicle parts. Background Technology

[0002] Welding, also known as fusion welding, is a key process technology that uses thermal and / or mechanical energy to achieve metallurgical bonding of metallic and thermoplastic polymer materials. In the field of new energy vehicle component manufacturing, welding is a core processing technology, and its process stability directly determines the mechanical properties and safety factor of vehicle body structural components.

[0003] Given that welding involves material melting and phase transformation reactions, slag and weld beads are commonly found in various mainstream welding processes. These metallurgical byproducts are typically distributed on the surface of the weld, affecting not only the surface quality of parts and exacerbating stress concentration in the weld area, but also significantly impacting subsequent coating processes. In automated welding processes, slag removal at high temperatures is usually performed within a specific time window after the welding operation is completed. This effectively avoids the increased cleaning difficulty caused by the increased hardness of the slag upon cooling and also alleviates the stress concentration problem caused by the shrinkage of the slag during cooling.

[0004] In conventional techniques, to clean weld slag at the weld seam, air jetting is often used to cool the weld seam simultaneously. For example, a related patent, CN118635763B, discloses a ring welding device for automotive parts processing. This patent utilizes an air guiding mechanism to accelerate airflow and, through the entrainment effect of the air, not only cools the welding area but also collects the weld slag and fumes generated during welding, thereby improving welding quality. However, in practical applications, it has been found that due to the low cleaning power of the airflow impact, it can only clean weld slag with weak adhesion. However, it is less effective at cleaning weld slag with slightly stronger adhesion or small weld beads generated at the weld seam. Furthermore, due to the rapid cooling of the airflow, the unremoved weld slag and weld beads solidify at the weld seam, especially when the weld seam is long. After welding, the weld seam has completely cooled and solidified, making subsequent processing difficult.

[0005] In view of this, the present invention proposes a welding equipment for new energy vehicle parts to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0014] Preferably, the welding cleaning mechanism further includes a preheating hood, with an opening at the end of the preheating hood furthest from the multi-axis robotic arm. The negative pressure pipe consists of an extraction pipe and a connecting pipe, with both ends of the connecting pipe connected to the insulation hood and the preheating hood respectively.

A cleaning wheel is rotatably installed inside the preheating hood, and a cleaning motor is connected to the outside of the cleaning wheel. The extraction pipe and the connecting pipe have openings on both sides of the cleaning wheel.

[0015] Preferably, both the cleaning wheel and the polishing wheel are composed of multiple discs, and the circumferential surface of each disc is wavy, with the peaks and troughs of the wavy shape of two adjacent discs being staggered.

[0016] Preferably, the preheating hood has symmetrically designed pressure grooves, and a positioning spring is fixedly installed in each pressure groove.

[0017] Preferably, the multi-axis robotic arm is equipped with an adjusting component, which is used to adjust the distance between the preheating cover and the heat preservation cover. The adjusting component includes a limiting ring, a lifting plate, a connecting handle, and a support spring.

Detailed Implementation

[0036] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this invention easier to understand, the invention will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0037] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, the welding equipment for new energy vehicle parts of the present invention includes a welding table 1 and a welding mechanism and a welding cleaning mechanism installed on the welding table 1.

[0038] The welding mechanism is used to weld automotive parts. The welding mechanism includes at least a welding torch 11 and a multi-axis robotic arm 12. The welding torch 11 is fixedly mounted on the multi-axis robotic arm 12, and the multi-axis robotic arm 12 is used to plan the movement path of the welding torch 11.

[0039] The on-site welding cleaning mechanism is mounted on the multi-axis robotic arm 12. The on-site welding cleaning mechanism is used to clean the weld seam and includes:

[0040] Grinding wheel 2, the grinding wheel 2 is used to grind and clean the weld, the grinding wheel 2 is externally connected to a grinding motor 21, which provides rotational power to the grinding wheel 2;

[0041] A negative pressure pipe is connected to an external suction device. The negative pressure pipe extends to the side of the grinding wheel 2 away from the welding gun 11. The negative pressure pipe draws welding slag and welding fumes with negative pressure.

[0042] The grinding wheel 2 and the negative pressure pipe both move with the welding gun 11.

[0043] The welding cleaning mechanism also includes a heat insulation cover 22, which covers the outside of the grinding wheel 2. The heat insulation cover 22 is open at one end away from the multi-axis robotic arm 12 and at the other end facing the welding torch 11. The heat insulation cover 22 works with the negative pressure pipe to enhance the traction of welding fumes.

[0044] In the welding process of automotive parts, in order to improve welding quality and reduce the difficulty of subsequent weld treatment, this invention is equipped with a welding cleaning mechanism. During the welding process, the weld is ground and cleaned in real time, and the welding slag and weld beads are ground and removed at high temperature to avoid the influence of factors such as the increased hardness of the welding slag after cooling.

[0045] Specifically, during the component welding process, under the control of a pre-set control program, the multi-axis robotic arm 12 moves the welding torch 11 along a pre-defined route, performing welding treatment on the areas to be welded during the movement. As the welding torch 11 moves, the weld seam formed after welding undergoes heat exchange with the outside air and airflow, resulting in a temperature decrease. This temperature decreases continuously over time. At this time, the grinding wheel 2, mounted on one side of the welding torch 11, moves to the weld seam under the continuous drive of the grinding motor 21, and the grinding wheel 2 continuously... During rotation, the weld slag and weld beads at the weld seam are smoothed and removed. The negative pressure pipe, under the action of an external suction device, creates negative pressure. In this invention, the welding torch 11, the grinding wheel 2, and the opening of the negative pressure pipe are on the same straight line, and the insulation cover 22 covers the outside of the grinding wheel 2. The insulation cover 22 is set with its opening facing the side of the welding torch 11. Therefore, when the negative pressure formed by the negative pressure pipe pulls on the air, the air flows from the welding torch 11, successively to the insulation cover 22 and the negative pressure pipe, and then flows along the negative pressure pipe into the external suction device. It should be noted that the suction device... The equipment's output end is equipped with an air purification device to purify the extracted airflow. During this process, because the grinding wheel 2 and the negative pressure pipe move synchronously with the welding torch 11, the grinding wheel 2 can promptly grind and clean the weld after it has formed. At this time, the weld has undergone a short period of cooling. Although the weld is in a solidified state, its temperature is still relatively high, and the hardness of the slag and weld beads is low. Therefore, when the grinding wheel 2 grinds the weld, it not only causes less damage to the weld but also removes protrusions such as slag and weld beads. The difficulty of cleaning foreign objects on the weld surface is relatively low. On the other hand, as the negative pressure pipe continuously pulls the air, the air flows through the welding torch 11 and into the heat insulation cover 22 along the weld. During this process, the air continuously exchanges heat with the welding torch 11 and the weld, thereby slightly cooling the weld. The weld solidifies, and the airflow carries the welding fumes. When it flows through the heat insulation cover 22, it carries the powder formed by the grinding wheel 2 and flows through the negative pressure pipe into the suction equipment and air purification equipment, further cleaning the weld.

[0046] This invention, by setting up a welding cleaning mechanism, uses a grinding wheel 2 and a negative pressure pipe that move synchronously with the welding torch 11 to achieve timely grinding of the weld. This removes welding slag and weld beads from the weld, enhancing the welding quality, while also utilizing the directional flow of air to collect waste generated during welding and grinding, reducing the impact on the external environment.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the welding cleaning mechanism further includes a preheating cover 23. The preheating cover 23 is open at one end away from the multi-axis robotic arm 12. The negative pressure pipe is composed of an extraction pipe 24 and a connecting pipe 25. The two ends of the connecting pipe 25 are respectively connected to the heat preservation cover 22 and the preheating cover 23. The extraction pipe 24 is fixedly installed on the preheating cover 23. The end of the extraction pipe 24 away from the preheating cover 23 is directly connected to the suction device. A cleaning wheel 26 is rotatably installed inside the preheating cover 23. The cleaning wheel 26 is externally connected to a cleaning motor 27. The extraction pipe 24 and the connecting pipe 25 are open on both sides of the cleaning wheel 26.

[0048] As the airflow carries and collects waste generated during grinding and welding, heat exchange occurs between the airflow and the weld seam and welding torch 11, resulting in a high airflow temperature. To utilize this heat, a preheating hood 23 is also provided in this invention. In this invention, the negative pressure pipe consists of an extraction pipe 24 and a connecting pipe 25. When the external suction device of the negative pressure pipe is started, the negative pressure first acts on the preheating hood 23 through the extraction pipe 24. Since the preheating hood 23 and the insulation hood 22 are connected through the connecting pipe 25, the negative pressure acts on the insulation hood 22 through the connecting pipe 25. That is to say, under the traction of the negative pressure, air flows from the welding torch 11 and the weld seam into the insulation hood 22 and the preheating hood 23, and then enters the extraction device. During the preparation process, as the air flows through the welding torch 11, the weld seam, and the insulation cover 22, the air temperature continuously rises, resulting in the air containing a large amount of heat energy. When the air flows through the preheating cover 23, since the preheating cover 23 and the insulation cover 22 are respectively located on both sides of the welding torch 11, the insulation cover 22 corresponds to the weld seam after welding, and the preheating cover 23 covers the position to be welded, the hot air will exchange heat with the position to be welded when it flows in the preheating cover 23, thereby preheating the position to be welded. At the same time, since the preheating cover 23 is equipped with a cleaning wheel 26, driven by the cleaning motor 27, the cleaning wheel 26 can also clean the position to be welded, which, together with the preheating treatment, further enhances the welding quality.

[0049] This invention, by setting up a preheating hood 23 and a cleaning wheel 26, and making the negative pressure pipe connected to the preheating hood 23, causes the airflow to flow through the position to be welded under the guidance of the negative pressure pipe and the preheating hood 23. On the one hand, by utilizing heat exchange, some of the heat in the airflow is transferred to the position to be welded. This not only achieves preheating treatment of the position to be welded and enhances the utilization of welding residual heat, but also reduces the temperature of the airflow, making it easier to purify the airflow. At the same time, the entrainment effect of the airflow also enables the transportation of grinding debris by the cleaning wheel 26.

[0050] This invention, by setting up a welding-in-place cleaning mechanism, performs pre-weld and post-weld cleaning in real time during the welding process. Utilizing the short interval between cleaning and welding, it enhances the treatment effect on the weld seam and improves welding quality. Furthermore, it enables rapid collection and utilization of residual heat, improving the efficiency of residual heat utilization and enhancing the energy-saving effect of the equipment. Compared to related technologies that collect, convert, and reuse weld residual heat, this invention effectively avoids the difficulties in collection, conversion, and utilization caused by residual heat dissipation because both collection and utilization occur within a short interval of welding.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, both the cleaning wheel 26 and the polishing wheel 2 are composed of multiple discs, and the circumferential surface of the discs is wavy, with the peaks and troughs of the wavy shape of two adjacent discs being staggered.

[0052] In order to ensure the continuous flow of airflow during the welding cleaning process, the cleaning wheel 26 and the grinding wheel 2 in this invention are both made of multiple discs stacked axially. With the circumferential wave-shaped setting of the discs, during the rotation of the cleaning wheel 26 and the grinding wheel 2, there is always a gap between the cleaning wheel 26, the grinding wheel 2 and the weld, so as to ensure the continuous directional flow of airflow. Moreover, since the position of the gap changes periodically, the cleaning wheel 26 and the grinding wheel 2 maintain a uniform state in the treatment of the weld.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the preheating cover 23 is provided with symmetrically designed pressure grooves 3, and a positioning spring 31 is fixedly installed in the pressure grooves 3. A lifting rod 32 is installed in both pressure grooves 3. The cleaning wheel 26 extends into the pressure grooves 3, and the lifting rod 32 is located between the cleaning wheel 26 and the positioning spring 31. A connecting pipe 33 is fixedly installed on the lifting rod 32. In the initial state, the two ends of the connecting pipe 33 are respectively connected to the air extraction pipe 24 and the connecting pipe 25.

[0054] In order to ensure that the airflow can accurately act inside the heat insulation cover 22, in this invention, when the multi-axis robotic arm 12 drives the heat insulation cover 22 and the preheating cover 23 to contact the surface of the workpiece to be welded, the cleaning wheel 26, which protrudes from the bottom of the preheating cover 23 in the initial state, first contacts the surface of the workpiece. Then, under the action of pressure, the cleaning wheel 26 pushes the lifting rod 32 and squeezes the positioning spring 31, causing the connecting pipe 33 to be misaligned with the suction pipe 24 and the connecting pipe 25. When the suction device is started, it will cause negative pressure to act inside the preheating cover 23 through the suction pipe 24. When the cleaning wheel 26 is not pressed, the two ends of the connecting pipe 33 are aligned with the suction pipe 24 and the connecting pipe 25. The negative pressure acts on the connecting pipe 33, the connecting pipe 25 and the heat insulation cover 22 through the suction pipe 24 in turn, thereby making the airflow inside the heat insulation cover 22 stable.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the multi-axis robotic arm 12 is equipped with an adjusting component, which is used to adjust the distance between the preheating cover 23 and the heat preservation cover 22. The adjusting component includes a limiting ring 4, a lifting plate 42, a connecting handle 43 and a support spring 44.

[0056] The limiting ring 4 is fixedly installed on the multi-axis robotic arm 12. An electric telescopic rod 41 is fixedly installed inside the limiting ring 4. A lifting plate 42 is fixedly installed at the output end of the electric telescopic rod 41. The connecting handle 43 is hingedly installed on the lifting plate 42. The heat preservation cover 22 and the cleaning cover are both fixedly installed at the end of the connecting handle 43. A support spring 44 is installed between the lifting plate 42 and the connecting handle 43.

[0057] Both the preheating cover 23 and the heat preservation cover 22 are rotatably connected to a sealing sleeve 5. The end of the sealing sleeve 5 away from the multi-axis robotic arm 12 is made of elastic rubber material, corresponding to the opening of the side wall of the sealing sleeve 5 of the heat preservation cover 22, and the opening of the sealing sleeve 5 is aligned with the opening of the heat preservation cover 22.

[0058] A drainage band 51 is fixedly installed between the two sealing sleeves 5. The drainage band 51 is made of an elastic metal sheet and is initially designed in an arc shape.

[0059] Because welding rates and temperatures vary across different welding processes, the timing of on-the-fly cleaning needs to be adjusted to ensure its timeliness and its positive impact on welding quality. Specifically, in slower welding processes, the welding torch 11 moves at a slower speed, requiring a shorter distance between the grinding wheel 2, cleaning wheel 26, and welding torch 11 to ensure timely cleaning. Conversely, at faster welding speeds, to ensure complete weld solidification, the distance between the grinding wheel 2, cleaning wheel 26, and welding torch 11 needs to be increased. The increased distance between the grinding wheel 26 and the welding torch 11 provides time for the weld to solidify. Therefore, an adjustment mechanism is provided in this invention to facilitate convenient adjustment of the cleaning time during welding. When adjusting the gap between the grinding wheel 2, the welding torch 11, and the cleaning wheel 26, the electric telescopic rod 41 is extended or shortened by a pre-set control program. When the electric telescopic rod 41 extends, the lifting plate 42 gradually moves outward from the limiting ring 4. At this time, under the pushing action of the support spring 44, the two connecting handles 43 gradually deflect, causing the preheating cover 23 and the heat preservation cover 22 to... As the preheating and insulation covers move further apart, the distance between the grinding wheels 2 and cleaning wheels 26 within the preheating cover 23 and insulation cover 22 increases. When the electric telescopic rod 41 shortens, the lifting plate 42 continuously moves towards the limiting ring 4. Under the restriction of the limiting ring 4 on the connecting handle 43, the connecting handle 43 gradually rotates towards the welding torch 11, thus gradually reducing the distance between the preheating cover 23 and insulation cover 22. Once the positions of the preheating cover 23 and insulation cover 22 are adjusted, under the drive of the multi-axis robotic arm 12, the insulation cover 22 and preheating cover 23 approach the welding plane. The sealing sleeve 5, which is rotatably fitted on the preheating cover 23 and the insulation cover 22, can rotate around the preheating cover 23 and the insulation cover 22 to fill the gap between the preheating cover 23, the insulation cover 22 and the welding surface. The setting of the flow guide 51 can form an airflow guiding channel, so that when the insulation cover 22 opens to draw air, the airflow can flow along the preheating cover 23, the welding torch 11 and the insulation cover 22. At the same time, the flow guide 51 can also intercept the welding slag splashed by the welding torch 11 during welding, so as to enhance the collection effect of welding slag when the airflow is carried.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a flow-draining valve seat 6 is embedded in the middle of the connecting pipe 25. The flow-draining valve seat 6 has symmetrically designed flow-draining grooves 61. The two ends of the flow-draining grooves 61 are respectively designed to be connected to the filter pipe 62 and the connecting pipe 25. The filter pipe 62 is installed on the flow-draining valve seat 6. The flow-draining valve seat 6 extends to the middle of the inner cavity of the filter pipe 62. A filter screen 63 is fixedly installed inside the filter pipe 62.

[0061] An enhancement pump 64 is fixedly installed on the multi-axis robotic arm 12. The enhancement pump 64 is connected to the middle of the connecting pipe 25 and is used to enhance the airflow transport intensity of the connecting pipe 25.

[0062] During the airflow process, in order to enhance the cleaning effect of the welding position and ensure the airflow effect, the reinforcement pump 64 and the suction equipment are started simultaneously during welding and welding cleaning operations. The suction equipment is directly connected to the suction pipe 24, which creates a negative pressure in the suction pipe 24. The two ends of the reinforcement pump 64 are connected to the connecting pipe 25. Under the action of the reinforcement pump 64, the airflow in the connecting pipe 25 flows from the heat insulation cover 22 to the preheating cover 23. During the flow, when the airflow flows through the heat insulation cover 22, it carries the welding slag and the powder generated by the grinding wheel 2 and moves it to the filter pipe 62. Under the action of the filter screen 63 and gravity in the filter pipe 62, the solid particles are separated from the airflow. The airflow flows back into the connecting pipe 25 through the guide groove 61 on the other side of the filter screen 63, thereby achieving the initial dust removal of the airflow to remove large particulate impurities in the airflow, so that when the hot airflow preheats the preheating cover 23, large particulate impurities remain on the welding position.

Those skilled in the art should understand that the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of the invention.
