Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of welding equipment, and particularly relates to a welding device for aluminum guardrail production. BACKGROUND

[0002] Aluminum guardrails are widely used in municipal engineering, building decoration and traffic safety fields due to their light weight, corrosion resistance and strong aestheticity. The typical structure of the aluminum guardrail generally comprises two mounting columns on the sides and a protective frame arranged between the two mounting columns. In the installation process, the mounting columns are first fixed to the ground through fasteners such as anchor bolts, and then the prefabricated protective frame is connected with the mounting columns, so as to complete the overall installation. Among them, the protective frame as the core load-bearing and protective component is generally composed of horizontally arranged upper and lower main pipes and a plurality of branch pipes vertically welded between the two main pipes.

[0003] At present, in the production process of the protective frame of the aluminum guardrail, especially in the welding process of the main pipe and the branch pipe, there are still some technical bottlenecks. Some production enterprises still rely on manual or semi-automatic way to carry out feeding and positioning operation. Specifically, the operator needs to manually place the branch pipe one by one on the predetermined welding position of the main pipe, and then weld and fix it.

[0004] However, the traditional production method has the following defects which need to be solved:

[0005] Insufficient positioning accuracy: manual feeding is difficult to ensure the relative position (such as perpendicularity and spacing) between each branch pipe and the main pipe to be completely accurate, and cumulative error is easy to occur, which leads to poor size consistency and irregular shape of the welded protective frame, affecting product quality and installation interchangeability.

[0006] Low production efficiency: manual feeding, positioning and auxiliary fixing and a series of operations are time-consuming and laborious, which seriously restricts the welding rhythm and cannot meet the efficiency demand of large-scale and batch production, resulting in limited overall production capacity.

[0048] When the guardrail is welded, the main pipes and branch pipes required by the guardrail are respectively placed in the first feeding mechanism 6 and the second feeding mechanism 10, the main pipes are fed through the first feeding mechanism 6, the branch pipes are automatically fed through the second feeding mechanism 10, the fourth electric hydraulic rod 14 is controlled to be shortened, the fourth electric hydraulic rod 14 drives the moving frame 13, the rotating shaft 15, the bearing rod 19 and the branch pipes to move to the left until the branch pipes are attached to the main pipes, at this time, the fourth electric hydraulic rod 14 is controlled to stop working, then the branch pipes are clamped through the clamping mechanism 20, the upper sides of the main pipes and the branch pipes are welded through the welding arm 3, after the welding is completed, the rotating shaft 15 and the second bearing blocks 17 are driven to rotate through the first motor 16, the main pipes and the branch pipes after the upper side welding are turned over, and the welding of the guardrail is quickly realized through the turning over, and the overall processing and production efficiency is ensured.

[0049] The first feeding mechanism 6 comprises a placing frame 61 and an extension receiving assembly 62, the second support 66 is installed below the placing frame 61 and fixedly connected to the placing table 5, the placing frame 61 is used for storing the main pipes of the guardrail, the movable top rod 63 is overlapped on the right side face of the placing frame 61, the second electric hydraulic rod 65 is fixedly connected below the movable top rod 63 and installed on the placing table 5, the movable top rod 63 and the partition plate 64 are overlapped on the right side face of the movable top rod 63 and installed on the placing table 5, and the upper surfaces of the movable top rod 63 and the partition plate 64 are provided with consistent inclined angles.

[0050] When the guardrail is produced and welded, the two main pipes required for guardrail production and the branch pipes connected between the main pipes are fed, and the main pipes required for the guardrail are directly placed in the placing frame 61. Due to the inclined arrangement of the placing frame 61, the main pipes in the placing frame 61 have a tendency to slide downward under the action of gravity, so there is a main pipe left on the movable top rod 63; the second electric hydraulic rod 65 is controlled to extend, the second electric hydraulic rod 65 drives the movable top rod 63 to move upward, until the upper surface of the movable top rod 63 is flush with the upper surface of the partition plate 64, because the upper surfaces of the movable top rod 63 and the partition plate 64 are arranged at the same inclination angle, the combination of the two forms a continuous inclined surface, at this time the main pipe on the movable top rod 63 slides to the right through the partition plate 64 and falls on the two first bearing blocks 11, completing the feeding and adding of the left main pipe. The feeding process of the main pipe is more accurate, the second electric hydraulic rod 65 drives the movable top rod 63 to move upward once to push out a main pipe, the feeding process of the main pipe is accurate and efficient, which ensures the efficiency of the guardrail welding process to a certain extent.

[0051] The extension receiving assembly 62 includes a mounting ring 621 fixedly connected outside the rotating shaft 15, a sliding frame 622 fixedly connected outside the mounting ring 621, a sliding rod 624 slidably connected inside the sliding frame 622, and a first electric hydraulic rod 623 fixedly connected to one end of the sliding rod 624 inside the sliding frame 622. The first electric hydraulic rod 623 is installed on the inner wall of the sliding frame 622, and the upper surface of the sliding rod 624 is flush with the upper surface of the sliding frame 622.

[0052] When the guardrail is produced and welded, the main pipes required for the guardrail are directly placed in the placing frame 61, and when the right main pipe required for the guardrail needs to be added, the rotating shaft 15, the extension rod 18 and the bearing rod 19 are first controlled to be rotated upward by the first motor 16 until the sliding frame 622 is flush with the partition plate 64, then the first electric hydraulic rod 623 is controlled to extend to drive the sliding rod 624 to move left until the left end of the sliding rod 624 abuts against the right side of the partition plate 64, at this time the partition plate 64, the sliding rod 624 and the sliding frame 622 form a continuous flat surface, then the second electric hydraulic rod 65 is controlled to extend, the main pipe is pushed upward by the movable top rod 63, and the main pipe rolls to the right along the partition plate 64, the sliding rod 624 and the sliding frame 622, and finally the main pipe rolls along the inclined surface and falls into the two second bearing blocks 17, completing the automatic feeding process of the right main pipe quickly, the main pipe feeding process is accurate and efficient, further ensuring the production efficiency of the guardrail.

[0053] The second feeding mechanism 10 comprises a storage barrel 101 installed at the bottom end of the longitudinal moving assembly 9, which is used for storing the support pipes of the guardrail, and third electric hydraulic rods 102 are installed on the left and right sides of the storage barrel 101, the end portions of the third electric hydraulic rods 102 are fixedly connected with vertical plates 103, the vertical plates 103 are installed with insertion rods 104 on the side close to the storage barrel 101, the insertion rods 104 are slidingly connected to the side of the storage barrel 101, the insertion rods 104 are inserted into the lowermost support pipe in the storage barrel 101 and are used for limiting the lowermost support pipe in the storage barrel 101, and the distance between the lower surface of the storage barrel 101 and the bearing rod 19 rotating to the horizontal state is smaller than the diameter of the support pipe and greater than the radius of the support pipe when the storage barrel 101 moves downward to the limit position.

[0054] During the welding process of the guardrail, the support pipes required by the guardrail are fed and added, the storage barrel 101 is directly controlled to move downward by the longitudinal moving assembly 9, and the third electric hydraulic rod 102 is controlled to extend to drive the insertion rod 104 to separate from the support pipe and release the limitation of the support pipe when the storage barrel 101 moves to the limit position of downward movement; the distance between the lower surface of the storage barrel 101 and the bearing rod 19 is greater than 1mm of the radius of the support pipe, and when the storage barrel 101 moves along the length direction of the bearing rod 19, the distance between the storage barrel 101 and the bearing rod 19 is smaller than the diameter of the support pipe, so that the lowermost support pipe in the storage barrel 101 cannot be removed from the storage barrel 101 without moving to the semicircular groove position, but can only slide along the surface of the bearing rod 19; the storage barrel 101 moves to the semicircular groove position on the bearing rod 19 and stays for a short time, the support pipe falls into the semicircular groove on the bearing rod 19, and then the storage barrel 101 is driven by the transverse moving assembly 8 to move along the length direction of the bearing rod 19, gradually feeding the support pipe into each semicircular groove, quickly and accurately completing the feeding of the support pipe, and automatically and efficiently completing the feeding of the support pipe, thereby ensuring the efficiency of the welding process of the guardrail.

[0055] The clamping mechanism 20 comprises a pressing plate 201, two intermediate rods 202 are installed on the pressing plate 201, the intermediate rods 202 are sleeved outside the rotating shaft 15, a first gear 203 is installed outside the intermediate rod 202, a second gear 204 is engaged below the first gear 203, a second motor 205 is installed outside the second gear 204, and a fixed plate 206 is fixedly connected outside the rotating shaft 15.

[0056] During the welding process of the guardrail, after both the main pipe and the branch pipe have been fed, it is necessary to control the branch pipe to fit against the surface of the main pipe. At this time, the second motor 205 is activated. The second motor 205 drives the intermediate rod 202 and the pressure plate 201 to rotate to the left through the second gear 204 and the first gear 203. The pressure plate 201 moves closer to the branch pipe until a certain gap is left between the pressure plate 201 and the surface of the branch pipe, forming a "virtual pressure" state. At the same time, the first motor 16 is activated. The first motor 16 controls the rotating shaft 15 and the branch pipe to rotate in the vertical direction. When the branch pipe rotates to an inclined position, it slides downward due to gravity, and the bottom end of the branch pipe will abut against the surface of the main pipe. Since both ends of the branch pipe have the same curvature as the surface of the main pipe... The curved surface of the branch pipe end is squeezed by the main pipe and will adjust and rotate itself, so that the contact surface between the branch pipe and the main pipe is automatically corrected and fitted. Then, the second motor 205 is controlled to work. The second motor 205 drives the intermediate rod 202 and the pressure plate 201 to rotate to the left through the second gear 204 and the first gear 203 until the pressure plate 201 presses on the surface of the branch pipe, completing the clamping of the branch pipe. After the welding of one side between the branch pipe and the main pipe is completed, the clamping of the branch pipe by the pressure plate 201 keeps the branch pipe flipping process stable, making the branch pipe feeding process efficient and accurate, without the need to manually adjust the fit between the branch pipe and the main pipe, making the production and welding process of the guardrail smoother and more efficient.

[0057] The storage tank 101 is provided with a transition section 21, which is used to temporarily store a single branch pipe.

[0058] The height of the transition section 21 is 6mm larger than the diameter of the branch pipe, allowing one branch pipe to be stored at a time. This is used when the storage bin 101 moves horizontally and before it reaches the semi-circular groove, the branch pipe inside the storage bin 101 enters the transition section 21. This facilitates the quick drop of a single branch pipe into the semi-circular groove when it reaches the corresponding position. The branch pipe inside the storage bin 101 can prepare to fall in advance during the gap in the process of moving to the semi-circular groove, making the feeding operation of the branch pipe more precise and efficient.

[0059] A groove is provided under the pressure plate 201, which is used for the pressure plate 201 to press the branch pipe.

[0060] The groove design increases the contact area between the pressure plate 201 and the branch pipe when they are pressed together. The arc-shaped surface is less likely to cause compression deformation when pressing the branch pipe. The groove and the semi-circular groove work together to achieve stable and safe positioning and clamping of the branch pipe, making the welding process between the branch pipe and the main pipe more stable.

[0061] Both the upper surfaces of the sliding frame 622 and the sliding rod 624 are provided with an anti-slip layer 625, and the anti-slip layer 625 has horizontal textures.

[0062] When the right main pipe is added, since the main pipe moves along the sliding rod 624 and the sliding frame 622, if the main pipe slides on the surface of the sliding frame 622 and the sliding rod 624, the moving amplitude of the front and back of the main pipe cannot be controlled, the main pipe is prone to tilt, and even cannot fall into the second bearing block 17; during the feeding process of the right main pipe, since the friction between the main pipe and the anti-skid layer 625 is large, and the transverse texture is arranged, the main pipe can only roll on the surface of the anti-skid layer 625, and the moving amplitudes of the front and back of the main pipe are the same when the main pipe rolls along the anti-skid layer 625, so that the main pipe does not tilt or move back and forth during the rolling and falling process, ensures that the main pipe falls into the second bearing block 17 smoothly and accurately, and makes the feeding process accurate and stable, and ensures that the production welding process is accurate to a certain extent.

[0063] The inner wall of the second bearing block 17 is provided with a rubber layer, which is used to buffer the impact of the main pipe falling into the second bearing block 17.

[0064] The rubber layer is adopted to buffer the impact of the main pipe falling into the second bearing block 17, so that the main pipe feeding process is safer, and the rubber layer increases the friction between the main pipe and the second bearing block 17, so that the main pipe is more stable in the second bearing block 17 when the branch pipe abuts against the surface of the main pipe, and the main pipe is not easy to fall off from the second bearing block 17, so that the safety of the main pipe feeding process is better.

[0065] The lower surface of the pressing plate 201 is provided with a Teflon layer, which is used to reduce the friction between the pressing plate 201 and the branch pipe.

[0066] The Teflon layer is adopted, so that the friction between the pressing plate 201 and the branch pipe is small, the pressing plate 201 moves close to the branch pipe to leave a certain gap between the pressing plate 201 and the surface of the branch pipe, and a "virtual pressing" state is formed between the two, so that when the branch pipe is fitted between the turning correction position and the main pipe, the friction between the pressing plate 201 and the branch pipe is small, the branch pipe can be turned more smoothly, and the process of fitting the branch pipe in the main pipe surface in the correction position is efficient and accurate.

[0067] Working principle, in use:

[0068] When the guardrail is produced and welded, the main pipe and the branch pipe required by the guardrail are directly placed in the placing frame 61 and the storage barrel 101 respectively, then the second electric hydraulic rod 65 is controlled to extend until the upper surface of the movable top rod 63 is flush with the upper surface of the partition plate 64, at this time the main pipe on the movable top rod 63 slides to the right and falls on the two first bearing blocks 11, then the first electric hydraulic rod 623 is controlled to extend, the first electric hydraulic rod 623 extends to control the sliding rod 624 to move left until the left end of the sliding rod 624 abuts against the right side surface of the partition plate 64, at this time the partition plate 64, the sliding rod 624 and the upper surface of the sliding frame 622 form a continuous flat surface, then the second electric hydraulic rod 65 is controlled to shorten, the movable top rod 63 moves to the initial position, at this time the main pipe in the placing frame 61 slides downward to the movable top rod 63, then the second electric hydraulic rod 65 is controlled to extend, the main pipe is lifted upward by the movable top rod 63, the main pipe rolls rightward along the partition plate 64, the sliding rod 624 and the sliding frame 622, and finally the main pipe rolls along the inclined surface and falls into the two second bearing blocks 17, at this time the feeding operation of the main pipe is completed, then the first electric hydraulic rod 623 is controlled to shorten, and the sliding rod 624 is controlled to move to the initial position;

[0069] Then the first motor 16 controls the rotating shaft 15, the extension rod 18 and the bearing rod 19 to rotate downward to be horizontal, and the controller controls the transverse moving assembly 8 and the longitudinal moving assembly 9 to work, the longitudinal moving assembly 9 controls the storage barrel 101 to move downward until the distance between the lower surface of the storage barrel 101 and the bearing rod 19 is greater than 1mm of the radius of the branch pipe, at this time the third electric hydraulic rod 102 is controlled to extend to drive the insertion rod 104 to separate from the branch pipe, and at the same time the storage barrel 101 is temporarily stopped at the position corresponding to the semicircular groove on the bearing rod 19, the branch pipe falls into the semicircular groove on the bearing rod 19, then the transverse moving assembly 8 drives the storage barrel 101 to move backward, gradually feeding the branch pipe into each semicircular groove, after the feeding of the branch pipe is completed, the third electric hydraulic rod 102 is controlled to shorten to drive the insertion rod 104 to insert into the branch pipe, completing the blocking and limiting of the branch pipe in the storage barrel 101, then the longitudinal moving assembly 9 controls the storage barrel 101 to move upward above the sliding rod 624, and the transverse moving assembly 8 drives the storage barrel 101 to move in front of the main pipe, completing the feeding process of the branch pipe;

[0070] Then the second motor 205 is controlled to work, the second motor 205 drives the intermediate rod 202 and the pressing plate 201 to rotate to the left through the second gear 204 and the first gear 203, until the pressing plate 201 approaches the branch pipe and is virtually pressed on the surface of the branch pipe, at this time the second motor 205 is controlled to stop working, and the first motor 16 is controlled to work, the first motor 16 controls the rotating shaft 15 and the branch pipe to rotate towards the vertical direction, the branch pipe is rotated to be inclined, and due to the gravity, the bottom end of the branch pipe is abutted on the surface of the main pipe, since the two ends of the branch pipe are provided with the arc surfaces with the same arc as the main pipe, the arc surface of the end of the branch pipe is adjusted and rotated due to the extrusion of the main pipe, so that the contact surface between the branch pipe and the main pipe is automatically corrected and adhered; then the second motor 205 is controlled to reverse, the second motor 205 drives the intermediate rod 202 and the pressing plate 201 to rotate through the second gear 204 and the first gear 203, the pressing plate 201 presses the branch pipe tightly, then the first motor 16 drives the rotating shaft 15 to rotate to the left to be horizontal, and the fourth electric hydraulic rod 14 is controlled to shorten, the fourth electric hydraulic rod 14 drives the moving frame 13, the rotating shaft 15, the bearing rod 19 and the branch pipe to move to the left, until the left end of the branch pipe adheres to the main pipe on the left side, at this time the fourth electric hydraulic rod 14 is controlled to stop working, then the welding arm 3 is controlled to weld between the main pipe and the branch pipe; when the welding on the upper side of the main pipe and the branch pipe is finished, the first motor 16 drives the rotating shaft 15, the second bearing block 17, the bearing rod 19, the main pipe and the branch pipe to rotate to the right, the rotating shaft 15 is controlled to shorten while rotating, so that the main pipe and the branch pipe rotate around the rotating shaft 15, and the right main pipe moves to the left, until the main pipe and the branch pipe are turned over and rotated to be horizontal, and the main pipe and the branch pipe are above the base 1, at this time the first motor 16 and the fourth electric hydraulic rod 14 are controlled to stop working, the welding arm 3 is controlled to weld the main pipe and the branch pipe, at this time the welding on the upper and lower sides of the main pipe and the branch pipe is finished.
