TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of workpiece positioning, more particularly to a positioning machining device for offshore wind turbine generator cabin structural parts. BACKGROUND
[0002] As one of the core fields of global clean energy transformation, offshore wind power directly determines the operation reliability and service life of the unit. The traditional machining device lacks flexibility, and the existing single machining head or fixed track machining equipment cannot cover multiple dimensions and angles, requiring frequent manual adjustment of the workpiece or equipment position, resulting in low efficiency and easy processing deviation. Although some equipment is equipped with a mechanical arm, the linkage with the overall frame is poor, making it difficult to adapt to the large-scale machining needs of large workpieces. The workpiece clamping stability is poor. The structural parts have large size span, and the existing clamping device is of fixed specification, which needs to be re-adjusted when replacing the workpiece, and the adaptability is poor. In addition, there are vibration and impact during the machining process, which easily causes micro-displacement of the workpiece and affects the machining precision. The processing dust treatment effect is limited. The processing dust generated during the processing contains metal oxides and harmful gases, which not only harms the health of the operators, but also may adhere to the surface of the workpiece and affect the processing quality. The existing dust removal equipment is mostly fixed position dust collection, which is difficult to accurately capture dust with the machining head, especially when processing large workpieces, the smoke dust diffusion range is large, and the purification efficiency is low. The overall adaptability of the equipment is insufficient. Offshore wind power structural part processing often needs to be completed in the workshop for pretreatment and assembly processing. The existing equipment is mostly fixed installation, which is difficult to move flexibly according to the placement position of the workpiece. In addition, the vibration transmission in the machining operation easily affects the precision of the equipment itself, and lacks effective buffer and shock absorption design, which further restricts the stability of the processing quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0025] The technical solutions in the present application will be described clearly and completely below in combination with the drawings in the present application. In addition, the forms of each structure described in the following embodiments are only examples, and the offshore wind turbine generator cabin structure positioning and machining device involved in the present application is not limited to each structure described in the following embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0026] Referring to Figure 1 , the present application provides an offshore wind turbine generator cabin structure positioning and machining device, which comprises a gantry 1, one side of the gantry 1 is movably connected with a first saddle 2, the other side of the gantry 1 is movably connected with a second saddle 3, the lower part of the gantry 1 is movably connected with an air extractor 4, the bottom of the gantry 1 is movably connected on a guide rail 5, and the lower surface of the gantry 1 is provided with a base 6. Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , one side of the gantry 1 is provided with a first track 101, the first track 101 is movably connected with a first slider 102, the other side of the gantry 1 is provided with a second track 103, the second track 103 is movably connected with a second slider 104, the lower part of the gantry 1 is provided with a third track 105, and the third track 105 is movably connected with a third slider 106.
[0027] The multi-track independent design allows each component to be adjusted independently along the gantry 1 without interfering with each other, adapting to the processing needs of cabin structural components of different sizes and weld positions, and improving the versatility of the device.
[0028] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first slider 102 is movably connected to a first saddle 2. The lower part of the first saddle 2 is movably connected to a first rotating block 201 via a rotating shaft. The interior of the first rotating block 201 is movably connected to a transition block 202. The interior of the transition block 202 is fixedly connected to a processing head 203 via screws. The middle part of the processing head 203 is fixedly connected to a clamping assembly 204 via screws. The lower part of the clamping assembly 204 is fixedly connected to a clamping block 205 via screws. The other end of the clamping block 205 is fixedly connected to a guide wire tube 206 via screws.
[0029] The design of the rotating shaft and the adapter block 202 allows the machining head 203 to be flexibly adjusted in angle, and different machining heads 203 can be replaced to adapt to welds in different directions. The wire guide tube 206 is fixed by the clamping block 205 to ensure stable wire feeding during the processing, avoid uneven welds caused by wire feeding deviation, and improve the consistency of processing quality.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The second slider 104 is movably connected to a second saddle 3, and a six-axis robotic arm 301 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the second saddle 3. A processing component 302 is fixedly connected to the other end of the six-axis robotic arm 301.
[0031] By setting up a six-axis robotic arm 301, which has multi-degree-of-freedom motion capabilities, it can flexibly extend into complex cavities and corners of the cabin structure to complete weld processing that is difficult to reach manually or with conventional processing heads. This compensates for the operational limitations of the first sliding saddle 2. The combination of the six-axis robotic arm 301 and the second sliding saddle 3 allows for a wide range of movement within the gantry 1's movement range. Combined with the high-precision control of the six-axis robotic arm 301 itself, it ensures the processing accuracy of complex welds and meets the high processing standards required for large cabin structure components.
[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5 The exhaust fan 4 has an air outlet 401 at its lower part. A dust hood 402 is fixedly connected to the front of the exhaust fan 4.

The upper part of the connecting block 403 is movably connected to the inside of the second rotating block 404. The upper part of the second rotating block 404 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the stepless adjustment lifting column 405. The upper part of the stepless adjustment lifting column 405 is fixedly connected to the third slider 106.
[0033] By setting the dust hood 402 to accurately align the machining point, efficiently absorb the smoke, arc light and harmful gas generated during the machining process, and discharge or process through the air outlet 401, the working environment is significantly improved, the risk of inhaling harmful substances by the operator is reduced, and the safety and environmental protection requirements are met. By designing the stepless adjustment lifting column 405 and the third sliding block 106, the exhaust fan 4 can be adjusted in height, angle and horizontal position synchronously with the machining position, ensuring the smoke capture efficiency and avoiding the dust removal dead angle caused by fixed position.
[0034] With reference to Figure 6 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 , the inside of the base 6 is fixedly connected with a clamping device 601, the inside of the base 6 is fixedly connected with a plurality of buffer devices 602, the bottom of the base 6 is fixedly connected with wheels 603, the buffer device 602 is composed of a cylinder 6021, a return spring 6022 and a supporting column 6023, the bottom of the cylinder 6021 is fixedly connected in the inside of the base 6, the inside of the cylinder 6021 is fixedly connected with the return spring 6022, the upper part of the return spring 6022 is fixedly connected with the supporting column 6023, and the lower part of the wheel 603 is fixedly connected with a supporting leg 6031.
[0035] The impact force is absorbed by the elastic deformation of the return spring 6022, the influence of vibration on the base 6 and the upper gantry 1 and the machining components is reduced, the machining precision caused by vibration is avoided, the supporting leg 6031 can fix the device during machining operation, the equipment displacement caused by wheel sliding is prevented, the overall stability during machining is ensured, and the needs of workpiece positioning “mobility” and workpiece positioning “working stability” are balanced.
[0036] With reference to Figure 6 and Figure 7 , one side of the double-shaft air cylinder 6011 is movably connected with a first piston rod 6012, the other side of the double-shaft air cylinder 6011 is movably connected with a second piston rod 6013, the other end of the first piston rod 6012 is fixedly connected with a first clamping block 6014, the other end of the second piston rod 6013 is fixedly connected with a second clamping block 6015, the bottom of the double-shaft air cylinder 6011 is fixedly connected on a bottom plate 6016, the upper surfaces on both sides of the bottom plate 6016 are provided with sliding grooves 6017, the bottom of the first clamping block 6014 is movably connected on the bottom plate 6016 through the sliding grooves 6017, the bottom of the second clamping block 6015 is movably connected on the bottom plate 6016 through the sliding grooves 6017, and the bottom of the bottom plate 6016 is fixedly connected in the inside of the base 6.
[0037] With the symmetrical drive design of the dual-axis cylinder 6011, the clamping blocks can be adjusted to stably clamp cabin structural components of different sizes and weights, preventing workpiece displacement during processing and ensuring the accuracy of the processing position from the source. The sliding groove 6017 guides the clamping blocks to move smoothly, avoiding deformation caused by uneven force on the workpiece during clamping and protecting the integrity of the workpiece. It is especially suitable for fixing large and easily deformable cabin structural components.
[0038] Working principle of the invention: 1. Fixed support: First, move 6 to the bottom of the gantry 1 via the wheel 603 to adjust its position. During operation, the support foot 6031 under the wheel 603 touches the ground. The bottom of the support foot 6031 is a non-slip rubber pad with a friction coefficient ≥0.8, which increases the friction with the ground and resists the reaction torque during the processing to fix the equipment as a whole, prevent slippage, and further ensure the stability of the processing.
[0039] 2. Workpiece Positioning and Fixing: First, the machine compartment structural component to be processed is placed on the base. The clamping device 601 inside the base is activated: the dual-axis cylinder 6011 drives the first piston rod 6012 and the second piston rod 6013 on both sides to extend and retract synchronously, causing the first clamping block 6014 and the second clamping block 6015 to move towards or in opposite directions along the sliding groove 6017 of the base plate 6016. By adjusting the extension and retraction of the dual-axis cylinder 6011, it can accommodate large structural components of different lengths and widths, achieving centered clamping and fixing of the workpiece, avoiding workpiece displacement caused by vibration or external force during processing, and ensuring the stability of the processing reference.
[0040] 3. Overall Equipment and Component Position Adjustment: After the machine cabin components to be processed are fixed, the gantry 1 is moved. The bottom of the gantry 1 is movably connected to the guide rail 5 and can slide horizontally along the guide rail, driving the entire processing system to cover different areas of the workpiece, adapting to the wide-range processing needs of large structural components. The first sliding saddle 2 slides on the first track 101 of the gantry 1 via the first slider 102, achieving horizontal position adjustment; its lower first rotating block 201 can rotate around the axis, and the adapter block 202 drives the processing head 203 to flexibly adjust the processing angle, cooperating with the guide tube 206 for processing. The second sliding saddle 3 moves on the second track 103 via the second slider 104, and its lower six-axis robotic arm 301 can achieve multi-degree-of-freedom rotation and extension, driving the processing component 302 to precisely fit complex processing positions such as irregular curved surfaces and multi-directional intersections, forming a collaborative processing with the first sliding saddle, covering all types of structural component processing.
[0041] 4、Work operation execution: after the workpiece positioning and position adjustment are completed, when the outside of the cabin structure to be machined needs to be machined, the first slide saddle 2 is started, the position required for machining is adjusted, and then the machining head 203 is started according to the preset program or manual operation, the machining head 203 is kept in a stable posture by the clamping assembly 204 and the clamping block 205, the guide tube 206 continuously delivers, and the machining of the conventional linear or simple curved surface is completed. When the inside of the cabin structure to be machined needs to be machined, the second slide saddle 3 is started, the position required for machining is adjusted, and then the machining assembly 302 is started according to the preset program or manual operation, the six-axis mechanical arm 301 drives the machining assembly 302, and by virtue of its multi-joint flexible motion characteristics, it is suitable for special-shaped machining of the cabin structure, such as box corner and curved surface transition, and precise machining of complex paths is realized. The two work together to reduce the adaptability limitations of a single machining device to complex structural parts, and improve the machining coverage and efficiency.
[0042] 5、Processing of smoke dust: the smoke dust generated during machining is processed in real time by the exhaust fan 4, the exhaust fan 4 moves on the third rail 105 through the third slide block 106, cooperates with the stepless adjustment lifting column 405 to adjust the height, the second rotating block 404 drives the dust cover 402 to rotate, and the dust cover 402 is accurately aligned with the smoke dust generation point. When the exhaust fan 4 works, the smoke dust is sucked into the dust cover 402 and discharged through the air outlet 401 to connect the external purification system, effectively reducing the influence of smoke dust on the health of operators and the surface quality of workpieces.
[0043] 6、Buffering and damping: the vibration generated during machining is transmitted to the buffering device 602 through the base 6, the supporting column 6023 is compressed to compress the reset spring 6022 in the cylinder 6021, the elastic deformation of the spring absorbs vibration energy, and reduces the interference of vibration on the clamping stability of the workpiece and the machining precision.
[0044] Finally: the above only describes the preferred embodiments of the present application and is not used to limit the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
