Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of welding technology, specifically a positioning welding device for sheet metal parts of ATM machine casing. Background Technology

[0002] The ATM casing is the external protective structure of the ATM device. Its core function is to protect internal precision components (such as the cash module and control board) from external impacts, environmental corrosion, or illegal damage. The casing is typically made of sheet metal parts (such as stainless steel plates or cold-rolled steel plates) through processes such as stamping, bending, and welding. Welding is used to connect sheet metal parts of different shapes, for example, to fix the cabinet frame to the operation panel, back cover, and other components, forming a rigid overall structure to ensure the stability of the equipment during transportation, installation, and use.

[0003] Patent CN214921585U discloses a positioning and welding device for ATM machine outer sheet metal parts, including a base, a frame, a first positioning component, a second positioning component, and a welding fume treatment mechanism. The frame is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base, and a first transmission screw is rotatably mounted on the frame. A second drive motor is fixedly mounted on the frame, and the output end of the second drive motor is fixedly connected to one end of the first transmission screw. A first screw nut is provided on the first transmission screw. This patent, by setting the first and second positioning components, allows for adjustment of the distance between the first and second positioning components, facilitating clamping and positioning of both sides of the ATM machine outer sheet metal parts using the first and second positioning components. Simultaneously, the electric push rods on the first and second positioning components can extend, using a pad to press and fix the upper end of the ATM machine outer sheet metal parts, ensuring good positioning effect.

[0004] However, the above technical solutions still have the following shortcomings in practical applications: When welding sheet metal parts for ATM machine casings, two sheet metal parts need to be fixed in place using positioning components before welding the joint. However, in some cases, a large number of sheet metal parts need to be welded. If workers manually place each part onto the positioning components one by one, it leads to high labor intensity and fatigue, affecting the efficiency of continuous welding of multiple parts. Furthermore, when using robotic arms to load sheet metal parts, if multiple parts are piled up haphazardly, the robotic arm struggles to grip them according to a pre-set path, similarly impacting welding efficiency.

[0029] Specifically, in existing technologies, when welding sheet metal parts for ATM machine casings, it is necessary to first use positioning components to fix two sheet metal parts in place before welding the joint between them. However, in some cases, there are many sheet metal parts to be welded. If workers manually place each sheet metal part at the positioning components one by one, it leads to high labor intensity for workers, and worker fatigue can affect the continuous welding efficiency of multiple sheet metal parts. In addition, when using a robotic arm to replace workers in loading sheet metal parts, if multiple sheet metal parts are piled up haphazardly, the robotic arm will have difficulty gripping the sheet metal parts according to the preset path, thus also affecting welding efficiency.

[0030] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, the working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In the manufacturing process of ATM machine casings, welding square sheet metal parts such as side panels and top panels is one of the key steps. This embodiment is used when welding two identical square sheet metal parts together.

[0031] First, based on the thickness of the sheet metal part, cylinder 212 drives one of the limiting plates 23 to slide on the support rod 42. Then, with the transmission and cooperation of connecting rod 1 43 and connecting rod 2 44, multiple limiting plates 23 can change at equal intervals until the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 is equal to the thickness of the sheet metal part. Simultaneously, cylinder 320 drives baffle 5 31 and baffle 6 32 to move laterally, ensuring that the bottom of baffle 5 31 and baffle 6 32 is always aligned with the last limiting plate 23. Then, cylinder 421 drives baffle 4 to move laterally, adjusting the distance between baffle 4 and baffle 5 to be equal to the side length of the sheet metal part. When baffle 4 moves laterally, baffle 62 and baffle 40 are respectively in contact with the surface of baffle 4 under the action of spring 10 and spring 21. At this time, a feeding cavity is formed by the cooperation of baffle 4, baffle 25, baffle 329, baffle 430, baffle 531, and baffle 632. Then, multiple sheet metal parts to be welded are added into the feeding cavity. The sheet metal parts will fall downwards under gravity. Since the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 is equal to the thickness of the sheet metal part, only one sheet metal part can pass through the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 at a time. At this time, the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 can be regarded as a feeding channel. Since the distance between baffle 4 and baffle 5 is equal to the side length of the sheet metal part, sheet metal parts will not be placed side by side in the loading channel. At this time, the sheet metal parts in the loading channel are all placed vertically. Then, the two guide plates 6 are moved laterally by the two sets of lead screw guide rails 11. During the lateral movement of the two guide plates 6, the vision detection probe 16 can detect whether there are sheet metal parts in the loading channel. When a sheet metal part is detected in the loading channel, the transverse rod 14 can be moved on the guide plate 6 by the lead screw guide rail 3 13, so that the clamping rod 18 passes through the groove on the limiting plate 23 and extends into the loading channel. Then, under the action of the bidirectional lead screw guide rail 19, the two clamping rods 18 are driven to move closer to each other, clamping the sheet metal parts in the loading channel. Then the clamping rods 18 are moved out of the loading channel. After the two sheet metal parts are clamped by the clamping rods 18 on both sides. Motor 15 drives the tilting plate 17 to rotate 90 degrees, and the two sheet metal parts are brought together by the action of the lead screw guide rail 21. Then, the orientation of the joint between the two sheet metal parts is adjusted by driving the guide rail plate 26 to align the joint with the welding gun 10. Then, cylinder 19 drives the welding gun 10 to approach the joint between the two sheet metal parts and welds it. At the same time, the lead screw guide rail 7 drives the welding gun 10 to move longitudinally, so that the joint is welded evenly. After the two sheet metal parts are welded together, clamping rod 18 releases the sheet metal parts, and a collection box can be placed on the worktable 1 to collect the welded sheet metal parts. Then repeat the above operation. Each time a sheet metal part is taken out from the feeding channel, the subsequent sheet metal parts will fall into the feeding channel, and the clamping rod 18 will continue to clamp the sheet metal parts, thus realizing the automatic feeding of multiple sheet metal parts, saving the manual feeding process, which is more convenient and labor-saving.In addition, compared with the method of using a robotic arm to load sheet metal parts, this method can separate multiple sheet metal parts and keep them at the same angle. The clamping rod 18 can clamp a single sheet metal part according to a fixed trajectory, which is conducive to improving the efficiency of loading and continuous welding.

[0032] In this embodiment, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, a rotating friction assembly is also provided on the limiting plate 23; The rotating friction assembly includes rollers 22 rotatably disposed at both ends of the upper side of the limiting plate 23. One end of the rollers 22 is fixedly connected to a worm wheel 25, and a worm 24 is rotatably disposed on one side of the limiting plate 23. The worm 24 and the worm wheel 25 mesh with each other.

[0033] The worm 24 is fixedly connected to a grooved cylinder 27 and a protruding rod 28 at both ends. Both the grooved cylinder 27 and the protruding rod 28 are rotatably mounted on the limiting plate 23. Adjacent grooved cylinders 27 and protruding rods 28 are connected by keyways and slidably connected. A second motor 26 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting plate 23. The output end of the second motor 26 is fixedly connected to one end of the worm 24.

[0034] A guide rail plate 35 is fixedly connected to one side of the baffle 2 5. A lead screw guide rail 37 is installed on one side of the guide rail plate 4 35. A guide rail plate 46 is slidably mounted on the lead screw guide rail 37. A lead screw guide rail 38 is installed on one side of the guide rail plate 46. A slider 39 is slidably mounted on the lead screw guide rail 38. A lifting rod 36 is fixedly connected to one side of the slider 39. A pressure sensor 45 is installed at the end of the lifting rod 36. A strip-shaped through hole is provided on one side of the baffle 2 5 for the lifting rod 36 to pass through.

[0035] Specifically, in the above embodiments, although the sheet metal parts are easy to clamp when they are in the loading channel, the gap of the limiting plate 23 only allows the sheet metal parts to fall vertically. Therefore, when the sheet metal parts are laid flat on the upper end of the limiting plate 23, the sheet metal parts cannot smoothly enter the loading channel, thus affecting normal loading.

[0036] Therefore, in order to solve the above problems, in this embodiment, when the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 changes, the grooved cylinder 27 and the protrusion rod 28 also slide relative to each other, and the two always remain in contact. When the sheet metal part is in the unloading chamber, the worm gear 24 on one side can be rotated by the motor 26. Under the transmission cooperation of the grooved cylinder 27, the protruding rod 28, and the worm wheel 25, multiple rollers 22 can rotate simultaneously. The sheet metal part in the unloading chamber can be continuously moved by the contact between the rollers 22 and the sheet metal part. At the same time, the baffle 2 5 is moved laterally by the lead screw guide rail 34, changing the position of its strip-shaped through hole and placing the strip-shaped through hole between two adjacent rollers 22. Then, the lifting rod 36 is extended between two rollers 22 by the lead screw guide rail 37, and the lifting rod 36 is raised by the lead screw guide rail 38. The flat sheet metal part will move upward under the action of the lifting rod 36. Then, the above operation is repeated so that all the sheet metal parts flat on the upper end of the rollers 22 can be pushed and their angles changed until they can smoothly enter the loading channel. Furthermore, in some cases, there may be vertically stacked sheet metal parts in the same feeding channel. When the lifting rod 36 extends into the feeding channel, it will be blocked by the sheet metal parts. Therefore, to prevent the lifting rod 36 from squeezing and deforming the sheet metal parts, if the lifting rod 36 is blocked, the pressure sensor 45 will detect pressure. The lifting rod 36 will then stop its lifting action and move to the next feeding channel before continuing its lifting action. This way, by driving the roller 22 to rotate and the lifting rod 36 to rise, the sheet metal parts in the unloading cavity are kept in continuous motion, reducing their static contact with the limiting plate 23 and preventing feeding from being affected by jamming due to flat laying.

[0037] Working principle: First, based on the thickness of the sheet metal part, cylinder 212 drives one of the limiting plates 23 to slide on the support rod 42. Then, under the transmission and coordination of connecting rod 11 (43) and connecting rod 22 (44), multiple limiting plates 23 can change at equal intervals until the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 is equal to the thickness of the sheet metal part. Simultaneously, cylinder 320 drives baffle 5 (31) and baffle 6 (32) to move laterally, ensuring that the bottom of baffle 5 (31) and baffle 6 (32) is always aligned with the last limiting plate 23. Then, cylinder 421 drives baffle 4 to move laterally, adjusting the distance between baffle 4 and baffle 5 to be equal to the side length of the sheet metal part. When baffle 4 moves laterally, baffle 62 and baffle 40 are respectively in contact with the surface of baffle 4 under the action of spring 10 and spring 21. At this time, a feeding cavity is formed by the cooperation of baffle 4, baffle 25, baffle 329, baffle 430, baffle 531, and baffle 632. Then, multiple sheet metal parts to be welded are added into the feeding cavity. The sheet metal parts will fall downwards under gravity. Since the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 is equal to the thickness of the sheet metal part, only one sheet metal part can pass through the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 at a time. At this time, the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 can be regarded as a feeding channel. Since the distance between baffle 4 and baffle 5 is equal to the side length of the sheet metal part, sheet metal parts will not be placed side by side in the loading channel. At this time, the sheet metal parts in the loading channel are all placed vertically. Then, the two guide plates 6 are moved laterally by the two sets of lead screw guide rails 11. During the lateral movement of the two guide plates 6, the vision detection probe 16 can detect whether there are sheet metal parts in the loading channel. When a sheet metal part is detected in the loading channel, the transverse rod 14 can be moved on the guide plate 6 by the lead screw guide rail 3 13, so that the clamping rod 18 passes through the groove on the limiting plate 23 and extends into the loading channel. Then, under the action of the bidirectional lead screw guide rail 19, the two clamping rods 18 are driven to move closer to each other, clamping the sheet metal parts in the loading channel. Then the clamping rods 18 are moved out of the loading channel. After the two sheet metal parts are clamped by the clamping rods 18 on both sides. Motor 15 drives the tilting plate 17 to rotate 90 degrees, and the two sheet metal parts are brought together by the action of the lead screw guide rail 21. Then, the orientation of the joint between the two sheet metal parts is adjusted by driving the guide rail plate 26 to align the joint with the welding gun 10. Then, cylinder 19 drives the welding gun 10 to approach the joint between the two sheet metal parts and welds it. At the same time, the lead screw guide rail 7 drives the welding gun 10 to move longitudinally, so that the joint is welded evenly. After the two sheet metal parts are welded together, clamping rod 18 releases the sheet metal parts, and a collection box can be placed on the worktable 1 to collect the welded sheet metal parts. Then repeat the above operation. Each time a sheet metal part is taken out from the feeding channel, the subsequent sheet metal parts will fall into the feeding channel, and the clamping rod 18 will continue to clamp the sheet metal parts, thus realizing the automatic feeding of multiple sheet metal parts, saving the manual feeding process, which is more convenient and labor-saving.Furthermore, compared to using a robotic arm to load sheet metal parts, this method allows multiple sheet metal parts to be separated and kept at a uniform angle. The clamping rod 18 can grip a single sheet metal part simply by following a fixed trajectory, which is beneficial for improving loading and continuous welding efficiency. When the distance between two adjacent limiting plates 23 changes, the grooved cylinder 27 and the protruding rod 28 also slide relative to each other, and the two always remain in contact. When the sheet metal part is in the unloading chamber, the worm gear 24 on one side can be rotated by the motor 26. Under the transmission cooperation of the grooved cylinder 27, the protruding rod 28, and the worm wheel 25, multiple rollers 22 can rotate simultaneously. The sheet metal part in the unloading chamber can be continuously moved by the contact between the rollers 22 and the sheet metal part. At the same time, the baffle 2 5 is moved laterally by the lead screw guide rail 34, changing the position of its strip-shaped through hole and placing the strip-shaped through hole between two adjacent rollers 22. Then, the lifting rod 36 is extended between two rollers 22 by the lead screw guide rail 37, and the lifting rod 36 is raised by the lead screw guide rail 38. The flat sheet metal part will move upward under the action of the lifting rod 36. Then, the above operation is repeated so that all the sheet metal parts flat on the upper end of the rollers 22 can be pushed and their angles changed until they can smoothly enter the loading channel. Furthermore, in some cases, there may be vertically stacked sheet metal parts in the same feeding channel. When the lifting rod 36 extends into the feeding channel, it will be blocked by the sheet metal parts. Therefore, to prevent the lifting rod 36 from squeezing and deforming the sheet metal parts, if the lifting rod 36 is blocked, the pressure sensor 45 will detect pressure. The lifting rod 36 will then stop its lifting action and move to the next feeding channel before continuing its lifting action. This way, by driving the roller 22 to rotate and the lifting rod 36 to rise, the sheet metal parts in the unloading cavity are kept in continuous motion, reducing their static contact with the limiting plate 23 and preventing feeding from being affected by jamming due to flat laying.
