Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automobile body processing technology, specifically to a multi-point welding auxiliary structure for automobile bodies. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component that carries goods and ensures driving safety, the manufacturing process of a truck body directly affects its structural strength, durability, and production efficiency. For example, in the welding process of the truck body panels, a multi-point welding method is usually adopted. The main process is to weld the connection between the lining plate and the panel to obtain the required truck body panels.

[0003] It should be noted that, see [reference] Figure 8 The lining plate is composed of multiple continuous protrusions and intermittent concave protrusions. Therefore, it is necessary to adaptively connect the contact position and weld during the welding process. The current welding process is as follows: the roller conveyor transports the carriage plate (which has not yet been welded) to the set position, and the carriage plate is flipped by hydraulic push so that the lining plate and the panel in the carriage plate are vertically and tightly attached. Then, the existing scanning device is driven by the robotic arm to scan the welding area and weld it by laser welding.

[0004] The existing welding process has the following problems: during the process of flipping the car body panel to a vertical position, the state of the car body panel is limited only by hydraulic pushing action. The limiting of the car body panel before and during welding is insufficient. Although laser scanning is used to compensate for some welding errors, the position reference is prone to shift due to insufficient limiting reference during operation, which ultimately affects the overall welding accuracy.

[0013] According to an advantageous embodiment, the guide rod is fixedly mounted on the left reference frame and the front frame of the roller conveyor, and a U-shaped opening facing forward is fixedly mounted on the front end face of the right reference frame.

[0014] According to an advantageous embodiment, both horizontal segments of the card block are provided with limit blocks that slide up and down via spring rods, and the front and rear sides of the opposite ends of the two limit blocks are chamfered.

[0015] According to an advantageous embodiment, the distance between the two reference frames is the same as the length of the carriage panel, and baffles are fixedly provided on the opposite surfaces of the two reference frames, with the baffles aligned with the front side of the clamping seat.

[0016] According to an advantageous embodiment, the positioning component includes a slide block, and two slide blocks are slidably disposed on the guide rod, with a connecting frame provided on the rear end face of the two slide blocks, and the guide component is disposed on the connecting frame.

[0017] An installation rod is fixedly installed on the upper side of the guide rod. Multiple movable blocks are slidably sleeved on the installation rod, distributed equidistantly from left to right. A receiver is fixedly installed on the lower end face of the movable block, and a transmitter is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the left slide block.

[0018] Adjust the spacing between two adjacent moving blocks to be the same as the length of each section on the carriage panel.

[0019] According to an advantageous embodiment, a lifting block corresponding to a slide block is slidably disposed on the front end face of the connecting frame, the lifting block is fixedly connected to the slide block, and a threaded rod with a vertical axis corresponding to the lifting block is rotatably disposed on the connecting frame, the threaded rod threaded through the lifting block.

[0033] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a multi-point welding auxiliary structure for automobile carriages is installed on a roller conveyor 8, including: a tilting frame 1. The tilting frame 1 is rotatably installed on the front side of the frame of the roller conveyor 8. The front end face of the tilting frame 1 is fixedly provided with two left and right distributed clamping seats 2 and multiple support rollers 20 that are equidistantly distributed from left to right and whose axes extend from front to back. The clamping seats 2 are U-shaped structures with U-shaped openings facing upwards. In order to avoid the clamping action interfering with the welding process, the length of the vertical section on the front side of the clamping seat 2 is less than the length of the vertical section on the rear side.

[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, a robotic arm 3 is provided on the front side of the roller conveyor 8. The robotic arm 3 can move freely along the conveying direction of the roller conveyor 8. A welding head 30 for laser welding is provided at the free end of the robotic arm 3.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the tilting frame 1 is provided with two left and right distributed reference frames 4, which are used to determine the reference after the carriage panel is tilted and vertical.

[0037] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 7 As shown, a guide rod 5 extending left and right along the axis is fixedly installed between the tilting frame 1 on the left and the roller conveyor 8. A moving unit 6 is slidably installed on the guide rod 5. A positioning component 60 for positioning the moving position is installed inside the moving unit 6. A guide component 70 is installed on the lower side of the moving unit 6. The guide component 70 includes a bonding roller 700 for bonding the carriage panel and a guide frame 701 for guiding the welding head 30.

[0038] After the clamping seat 2 and the carriage panel are flipped, the left and right reference frames 4 are used to position the left and right references. The positioning component 60 is formed according to the references. The positioning component 60 positions the welding area on the carriage panel according to the references and performs partitioned welding according to the shape of the carriage. The bonding roller 700 is used to bond to the front face of the carriage and the guide frame 701 guides the welding head 30 to move. In summary, a welding operation is formed by left and right positioning, partitioned guidance and sequential welding.

[0039] During operation, the car body is conveyed from left to right to the set position by the roller conveyor 8. The right reference frame 4 prevents the car body from moving further. At this time, the front side of the car body is located in the clamping seat 2. The tilting frame 1 tilts to the vertical position synchronously with the car body through the clamping seat 2. At this time, the left and right reference frames 4 are attached to the car body to form the reference on the left and right sides. At the same time, the car body is attached to the support roller 20 under its own gravity. That is, the position of the support roller 20 is used as the reference on the upper and lower sides.

[0040] After the car body panel is flipped vertically, the moving unit 6 is positioned relative to the leftmost partition on the car body panel using a positioning reference method. The bonding roller 700 in the guide assembly 70 is bonded to the corresponding partition, and the guide frame 701 is moved to the set position. The robotic arm 3 engages the welding head 30 with the guide frame 701 and maintains this state during the welding process. Then, the robotic arm 3 moves the guide frame 701 to the right, and the bonding roller 700 guides the movement of the welding head 30 through the guide frame 701. Within the same partition, the front and rear distance of the welding head 30 is adaptively adjusted to adapt to the welding requirements of the curved path in each partition. After the welding operation in a single partition is completed, the moving unit 6 moves the guide assembly 70 and positions the next partition through the positioning unit, and repeats the above operation process. The welding operation of the car body is completed through multiple welding operations.

[0041] Then, by flipping the carriage panel to the other side, the above welding process is repeated to finally complete the multi-point welding of the carriage panel.

[0042] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the roller conveyor 8 has two hydraulic cylinders 10 arranged on the left and right sides on the frame. The extension and retraction ends of the two hydraulic cylinders 10 are jointly provided with push plates 11, and auxiliary plates 12 are movably installed on both the upper and lower sides of the push plates 11.

[0043] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the reference frame 4 on the left is fixedly mounted on the front frame of the roller conveyor 8, and the reference frame 4 on the right is slidably mounted on the front end face of the tilting frame 1 via a sliding rod 13 extending back and forth along the axis. The reference frame 4 on the right is controlled by an external cylinder (not shown in the figure) to slide along the axis of the sliding rod 13.

[0044] In the initial state, the tilting frame 1 is laid flat, the opening of the clamping seat 2 faces the rear, the right reference frame 4 is attached to the tilting frame 1, and the car body is blocked at the set position. Then the roller conveyor 8 transports the car body, the car body moves to the right and is blocked by the right reference frame 4 to continue moving to the right. At this time, the front side of the car body is located in the clamping seat 2. The hydraulic cylinder 10 works so that its extension end pushes the push plate 11. The push plate 11 and the auxiliary plate 12 push the car body, and the car body flips to a vertical state with the axis of the tilting frame 1. After the car body is vertical, the car body moves down under its own weight and contacts the support roller 20. At the same time, the right reference frame 4 and the car body rotate synchronously, and the left and right reference frames 4 are attached to the sides of the car body respectively. At this time, the left and right references and the upper and lower references of the car body are aligned.

[0045] It should be further explained that during the process of pushing the car body panel to flip, the auxiliary plate 12 extends beyond the push plate 11 to ensure that the entire car body panel can be pushed to the set position by force, thus avoiding the problem that the small single working area of ​​the push plate 11 affects the flipping process. Secondly, after the welding is completed, the car body panel and the right reference frame 4 flip and reset to the horizontal state. The external cylinder works to make the right reference frame 4 move upward to avoid the impact. Then the roller conveyor 8 transports the car body panel after welding.

[0046] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the guide rod 5 is fixedly mounted on the front frame of the left reference frame 4 and the roller conveyor 8, and a U-shaped opening with a front-facing locking block 50 is fixedly mounted on the front end face of the right reference frame 4.

[0047] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the two horizontal sections of the card block 50 are each equipped with a limit block 51 that slides up and down via a spring rod. The front and rear sides of the opposite ends of the two limit blocks 51 are chamfered.

[0048] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 7 As shown, the distance between the two reference frames 4 is the same as the length of the carriage panel, and baffles 52 are fixedly installed on the opposite surfaces of the two reference frames 4. The baffles 52 are aligned vertically with the front side of the clamping seat 2.

[0049] After the tilting frame 1 is tilted, the two baffles 52 on the left and right serve as positioning references for the front end of the carriage panel. Then, as the push plate 11 continues to push the carriage panel, the front end of the carriage panel presses against the front side of the clamping seat 2 and the baffles 52. At this point, the carriage panel moves to the set position in the left-right, up-down, and front-back directions, completing the reference alignment.

[0050] Secondly, during the flipping process, the flipping frame 1 drives the right reference frame 4 to flip synchronously. The right reference frame 4 drives the locking block 50 and the limiting block 51 on it to flip synchronously. After the limiting block 51 contacts the guide rod 5, the spring rod is compressed. Finally, the guide rod 5 enters the U-shaped opening of the locking block 50. The limiting block 51 is reset under the elastic force generated by the deformation of the spring rod, sealing the guide rod 5 in the corresponding U-shaped opening. In this way, the left and right reference frames 4 are made to face each other, ensuring that the reference is consistent and forming the guide rail frame used for subsequent guiding movement, thus improving the accuracy of the car body plate reference alignment.

[0051] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the positioning component 60 includes a slide block 600. Two slide blocks 600 are slidably arranged on the guide rod 5. It should be noted that the slide blocks 600 are driven by external existing technology (such as electric slider traction, hydraulic traction, etc.) to move freely along the radial direction of the guide rod 5. The rear end faces of the two slide blocks 600 are jointly provided with a connecting frame 601, and the guide component 70 is disposed on the connecting frame 601.

[0052] An installation rod 602 is fixedly installed on the upper side of the guide rod 5. Multiple movable blocks 603 are slidably sleeved on the installation rod 602, which are equidistantly distributed from left to right. A receiver 604 is fixedly installed on the lower end face of the movable block 603, and a transmitter 605 is fixedly installed on the upper end face of the left slide block 600.

[0053] Adjust the spacing between two adjacent moving blocks 603 to be the same as the length of each section on the carriage panel.

[0054] After the baseline alignment of the carriage panels is completed, the area to be welded on the carriage panels is aligned with the set position. That is, when the connecting frame 601 is located at the leftmost position, the connecting frame 601 is aligned with the leftmost partition on the carriage panel. The moving block 603 is manually adjusted according to the spacing of each partition so that the spacing between two adjacent receivers 604 is the same as the left and right length of each partition of the carriage panel, thereby completing the partitioning action. To prevent the vibration generated during transportation from affecting the moving block 603, the moving block 603 can be reinforced after adjustment (not shown).

[0055] During the multi-point welding process of the subsequent welding head 30, as the connecting frame 601 moves the guiding component 70 to the right, the infrared signal emitted by the transmitter 605 is received by the corresponding receiver 604. The received signal is converted into an electrical signal and processed, and then converted into a digital signal and transmitted to the external control system (not shown in the figure). At this time, the connecting frame 601 is aligned with the corresponding welding section, and the connecting frame 601 and the slide 600 stop moving, completing the section alignment. Then, the corresponding welding operation is performed on the welding section. After completing a single welding operation, the above process is repeated to complete all welding processes on the carriage panel. In summary, by forming multiple welding sections according to the welding area of ​​the carriage panel in the above manner, and by positioning the receiver 604 and the transmitter 605, the connecting frame 601 is guided to move synchronously to the set position. Therefore, it is divided into separate welding operations for each welding section, which improves the welding accuracy.

[0056] like Figure 6 As shown, a lifting block 61 corresponding to the slide block 600 is slidably disposed on the front end face of the connecting frame 601. The lifting block 61 is fixedly connected to the slide block 600. A threaded rod 610 with a vertical axis and corresponding to the lifting block 61 is rotatably disposed on the connecting frame 601. The threaded rod 610 is threaded through the lifting block 61 and is connected to an external motor (not shown in the figure).

[0057] During operation, the external motor drives the threaded rod 610 to rotate synchronously. Through the cooperation between the threaded rod 610 and the lifting block 61, the lifting block 61 and the connecting frame 601 move relative to each other in the vertical direction. Therefore, the connecting frame 601 can drive the guide component 70 on it to move up and down, ensuring that the guide component 70 can be aligned with the welding position and adapt to welding requirements of different sizes (different positions).

[0058] like Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide assembly 70 also includes a transverse block 702. The transverse block 702 is slidably disposed on the lower end face of the connecting frame 601. A U-shaped frame 703 is disposed on the transverse block 702 via a spring rod and a front and rear sliding rod 13. The axis of the bonding roller 700 is vertical and rotatably disposed on the U-shaped frame 703.

[0059] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the guide frame 701 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the U-shaped frame 703. The guide frame 701 is divided into a vertical section and an inclined section that tilts forward from top to bottom. A mating groove 704 is provided on the inclined section of the guide frame 701, and a mating ring 705 is fixedly sleeved on the welding head 30.

[0060] During operation, the rotation of the threaded rod 610 adjusts the axis of the mating groove 704 on the guide frame 701 to point towards the welding point. Secondly, during the process of the carriage panel being flipped vertically, the carriage panel contacts the bonding roller 700, gradually compressing the spring rod 2. Finally, when the carriage panel is vertical, the bonding roller 700 adheres to the area above the welding point of the carriage panel, and the elastic force generated by the deformation of the spring rod 2 keeps the bonding roller 700 tightly against the carriage panel. Therefore, in the subsequent welding process, when the robotic arm 3 drives the welding head 30 to insert into the corresponding mating groove 704, the mating ring 705 restricts the welding head 30 from moving further, thus controlling the distance between the welding head 30 and the carriage panel. The robotic arm 3 moves the welding head 30 to the right while simultaneously moving the guide frame 701. During this process, the bonding roller 700 moves from the concave section to the convex section of the corresponding welding area. The constant close contact of the bonding roller 700 ensures that the U-shaped frame 703 moves forward while moving to the right during this process. The U-shaped frame 703 drives the guide frame 701 to move forward synchronously. Therefore, in the concave or convex section of the welding area, the distance between the welding head 30 and the welding point is maintained by the bonding roller 700, ensuring that the welding distance is the set distance each time (i.e., the distance between the bonding roller 700 and the front side of the U-shaped frame 703; therefore, it should be noted that this distance has been obtained through multiple tests by the staff and meets the welding requirements. It is existing technology and will not be elaborated further). This avoids the problem of the welding head 30 and the welding point changing due to the movement of the welding, which affects the welding quality. In addition, it should be noted that an external existing laser scanning component can be added to the robotic arm 3 and the welding head 30. During the welding process, the reference is determined mechanically while laser scanning is used to double-protect the welding area, ensuring accurate welding and avoiding the problem of over-welding.

[0061] It should be further explained that the existing technology uses a method of laser scanning for positioning followed by welding. However, the position of the carriage panel is not sufficiently limited during the operation, which can easily lead to positional reference shifts during welding, affecting welding accuracy. This technical solution adds a reference frame 4, a guide rod 5, a moving unit 6, and a guiding component 70. With the help of the positioning component 60 in the reference frame 4 and the moving unit 6, the reference of the carriage panel is mechanically positioned and locked. At the same time, the shape of the welding area of ​​the carriage panel is divided into multiple different welding areas for zoned welding. In each welding area, the welding head 30 is guided to move by the guiding component 70 to maintain the welding distance and welding angle between the welding head 30 and the welding point. This can be combined with mechanical scanning technology to doubly and strictly ensure that the welding quality meets the requirements. Furthermore, the above-mentioned added components can be used for a long time after a single installation. The increased cost is negligible compared to the economic benefits brought by the improved welding quality. In summary, this technical solution is a specific improvement made entirely based on and to solve the defects of the existing technology.
