[0018] Embodiments of this disclosure are described in detail below, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are used only to explain this disclosure, and should not be construed as limiting this disclosure. Rather, embodiments of this disclosure include all variations, modifications, and equivalents falling within the spirit and scope of the appended claims.

[0019] like Figure 1 As shown in the present disclosure, an embodiment of an automatic splicing machine cutting and welding system is proposed, including: a machine tool 1, a cutting module 2, and a welding module 3. The machine tool 1 is used to clamp a first linear material moving longitudinally when it rises to a first height, so that the machine tool 1 and the first linear material are either relatively stationary or moving relative to each other longitudinally. The cutting module 2 and the welding module 3 are respectively disposed on the machine tool 1 and spaced apart longitudinally. The cutting module 2 is used to clamp and cut the first linear material to form a splice tail, and to clamp and cut a second linear material moving longitudinally to form a splice head. The welding module 3 is used to clamp the splice tail and the splice head, and to weld the splice tail and the splice head together to form a splice segment.

[0020] It is understandable that when machine tool 1 rises to the first height, it clamps the first linear material moving longitudinally and remains relatively stationary or moves relative to the first linear material. Simultaneously, in coordination with the movement of machine tool 1, the cutting module 2 and welding module 3, which are spaced apart on machine tool 1, process the first linear material and the second linear material in sequence. Specifically, the cutting module 2 clamps and cuts the first linear material to form a continuing material tail, and clamps and cuts the second linear material moving longitudinally to form a continuing material head. Subsequently, the welding module 3 clamps the continuing material tail and the continuing material head, and welds the continuing material tail and the continuing material head together to form a continuing section. Thus, by using the cutting module 2 and the welding module 3, the continuation of the first linear material and the second linear material is realized. Furthermore, based on the integrated cooperation of the cutting module 2 and the welding module 3, the cutting process and the welding process are effectively connected. Therefore, by utilizing the continuous operation of the automatic continuation machine, the continuation efficiency and continuation quality of linear materials are improved.

[0021] It should be noted that when industries such as aerospace, shipbuilding, automobiles and their parts (manufacturing), construction and building materials (prefabricated raw materials), steelmaking and metallurgy (continuous casting, continuous rolling, composite material coating, and cladding) use or process linear materials (bars, wires, etc.), the automatic splicing machine of this embodiment can achieve automatic, efficient, and stable splicing of materials.

[0022] In one application scenario, the first linear material, as the previous material, needs to be continued at the tail end, and the second linear material, as the next material, continues the first linear material. Based on this, machine tool 1 rises to a first height and clamps the first linear material that moves continuously along the longitudinal direction. Furthermore, in conjunction with the relative stillness or relative movement between machine tool 1 and the first linear material, the first and second linear materials are joined. Specifically, cutting module 2 cuts off the irregular segment at the tail end of the first linear material to form a regular continuous tail, and cuts off the irregular segment at the head end of the second linear material to form a regular continuous head. During the relative movement of machine tool 1, the first linear material is transferred from cutting module 2 to welding module 3, while the second linear material is transferred from cutting module 2 to welding module 3 using an external feeder. Subsequently, welding module 3 aligns and welds the continuous tail and continuous head to form a continuous section, while avoiding problems such as incomplete welding and misalignment caused by manual welding or independent operation of each process.

[0023] Machine tool 1 is used for the integrated arrangement of cutting module 2, welding module 3, etc., so that linear materials can be processed continuously, achieving high efficiency and high quality of continuous processing. Machine tool 1 has clamping and lifting functions. The specific type of machine tool 1 can be set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions on it.

[0024] The cutting module 2 and welding module 3 are used for cutting and welding the first linear material and the second linear material, thereby achieving efficient continuation operations. The specific types of the cutting module 2 and welding module 3 can be set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0025] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting module 2 includes: a cutting position support 21, a cutting position clamping mechanism 22, and a cutting mechanism 23. The cutting position support 21 is mounted on the machine tool 1, and the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 is mounted on the cutting position support 21. The cutting position clamping mechanism 22 is used to clamp a first linear material and a second linear material. The cutting mechanism 23 is mounted on the cutting position support 21 and close to the cutting position clamping mechanism 22. The cutting mechanism 23 is used to cut the first linear material to form a continuing material tail when the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 clamps the first linear material, and to cut the second linear material to form a continuing material head when the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 clamps the second linear material.

[0026] Understandably, when machine tool 1 rises to the first height, it clamps the first linear material moving longitudinally and remains relatively stationary or moves relative to the first linear material. Simultaneously, in coordination with the movement of machine tool 1, the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 clamps the first linear material, and the cutting mechanism 23 cuts the first linear material to form a regular continuation tail. Furthermore, when machine tool 1 moves relative to the first linear material and the continuation tail moves out of the cutting position, the second linear material is moved into the cutting position by an external feeder. The cutting position clamping mechanism 22 clamps the second linear material, and the cutting mechanism 23 cuts the second linear material to form a regular continuation head, thereby ensuring high-quality welding between the first and second linear materials.

[0027] It should be noted that the cutting position support 21 is arranged on the machine tool 1 to support the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 and the cutting mechanism 23. The cutting position clamping mechanism 22 is used to clamp linear materials, and the cutting mechanism 23 is used to cut the linear materials clamped by the cutting position clamping mechanism 22. The specific types of the cutting position support 21, the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 and the cutting mechanism 23 can be set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions on them.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 includes: a cutting position clamping seat 221, an active jaw 222, a driven jaw 223, and a cutting position clamping drive assembly 224. The cutting position clamping seat 221 is disposed on the cutting position support seat 21, and the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 are respectively slidably disposed on the cutting position clamping seat 221 in a lateral direction, with the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 facing each other and forming an upward-facing cutting position clamping opening. The cutting position clamping drive assembly 224 is disposed on the cutting position clamping seat 221, and is used to drive the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to move laterally relative to each other, so that the cutting position clamping opening clamps a first linear material or a second linear material, and to drive the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to move laterally opposite to each other, so that the cutting position clamping opening releases the first linear material or the second linear material.

[0029] Understandably, when the first linear material is located in the cutting position clamping opening between the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223, the cutting position clamping drive assembly 224 drives the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to move laterally relative to each other, thereby using the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to clamp the first linear material, and then cooperate with the cutting mechanism 23 to achieve stable cutting of the first linear material and high-quality formation of the continuing material tail.

[0030] When the second linear material is located in the cutting position clamping opening between the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223, the cutting position clamping drive assembly 224 drives the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to move laterally relative to each other, thereby using the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to clamp the second linear material, and then cooperate with the cutting mechanism 23 to achieve stable cutting of the second linear material and high-quality formation of the continuing material head.

[0031] It should be noted that the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 first clamps the first linear material and releases the first linear material after the first linear material is cut. Subsequently, the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 clamps the second linear material and releases the second linear material after the second linear material is cut.

[0032] The active jaws 222 and the driven jaws 223 are used to move laterally relative to each other or opposite to each other under the drive of the cutting position clamping drive assembly 224, thereby clamping or releasing linear materials. The specific types of the active jaws 222 and the driven jaws 223 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the bottom of the active jaws 222 and the bottom of the driven jaws 223 are respectively provided with transversely arranged rail grooves, and the cutting position clamping seat 221 is provided with transversely arranged guide rails. The active jaws 222 and the driven jaws 223 are slidably arranged on the cutting position clamping seat 221 through the cooperation of the rail grooves and guide rails. At the same time, elastic clamps are respectively provided on the opposite sides of the active jaws 222 and the driven jaws 223 to achieve elastic clamping of linear materials.

[0033] The clamping force of the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 in the lateral direction can be 3KN-4KN. The purpose is to make the clamping stable and accurate, and to prevent slippage during the axial movement of the line, which would cause the cut to deviate. The release of the linear material by the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 in the lateral direction can prevent continuous scraping of the material surface during non-operational conditions.

[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting position clamping drive assembly 224 includes: a cutting position gear 2241, a first cutting position rack 2242, a second cutting position rack 2243, and a cutting position telescopic member 2244. The cutting position gear 2241 is rotatably mounted on the cutting position clamping seat 221, and the first cutting position rack 2242 and the second cutting position rack 2243 are respectively slidably mounted on the cutting position clamping seat 221 and mesh with both sides of the cutting position gear 2241. The first cutting position rack 2242 is disposed between the power output end of the cutting position telescopic member 2244 and the active jaw 222, and the second cutting position rack 2243 is connected to the driven jaw 223. The cutting position telescopic member 2244 drives the first cutting position rack 2242 to move laterally, thereby causing the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to move laterally relative to each other or in opposite directions.

[0035] It is understandable that, since the cutting position gear 2241 is rotatably mounted on the cutting position clamping seat 221, and the first cutting position rack 2242 and the second cutting position rack 2243 are respectively slidably mounted on the cutting position clamping seat 221 and respectively mesh with the two sides of the cutting position gear 2241, when the first cutting position rack 2242 moves laterally, the second cutting position rack 2243 can be moved synchronously in the opposite direction by the transmission between the first cutting position rack 2242 and the second cutting position rack 2243 using the cutting position gear 2241.

[0036] Furthermore, since the first cutting position rack 2242 is located between the power output end of the cutting position telescopic member 2244 and the active jaw 222, and the second cutting position rack 2243 is connected to the driven jaw 223, when the power output end of the cutting position telescopic member 2244 extends or retracts, it can drive the first cutting position rack 2242 and the second cutting position rack 2243 to move synchronously in opposite directions in the lateral direction, thereby driving the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions in the lateral direction, thereby realizing the clamping and release of linear materials.

[0037] It should be noted that the cutting position gear 2241 is used for the linkage between the first cutting position rack 2242 and the second cutting position rack 2243, that is, to make the first cutting position rack 2242 and the second cutting position rack 2243 move synchronously in opposite directions. The specific type of the cutting position gear 2241 can be set according to actual needs and there is no limitation. For example, the cutting position gear 2241 is a gear structure and is rotatably arranged on the cutting position clamping seat 221 using a bearing, wherein the rotation center axis of the bearing is located in the longitudinal direction.

[0038] The first cutting position rack 2242 and the second cutting position rack 2243 are used to cooperate with the cutting position gear 2241 to realize the linkage between the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223, so as to realize the synchronous action of the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223 by utilizing the extension and retraction of the same cutting position telescopic member 2244, thereby achieving stable clamping of linear materials.

[0039] The cutting position telescopic component 2244 is used to directly drive the first cutting position rack 2242 and indirectly drive the second cutting position rack 2243, thereby realizing the synchronous action of the active jaw 222 and the driven jaw 223. The specific type of the cutting position telescopic component 2244 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the cutting position telescopic component 2244 can be a thin hydraulic cylinder with the push rod extending and retracting laterally.

[0040] like Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting mechanism 23 includes: a forward / backward seat 231, a cutting position spindle 232, a saw blade 233, a cutting position rotation drive assembly 234, and a cutting position forward / backward drive assembly 235. The forward / backward seat 231 is slidably mounted on the cutting position support 21, and the cutting position spindle 232 is rotatably mounted on the forward / backward seat 231. The saw blade 233 is mounted on the power output end of the cutting position spindle 232 and close to the cutting position clamping mechanism 22. The cutting position rotation drive assembly 234 is mounted on the cutting position support 21, and the power output end of the cutting position rotation drive assembly 234 is connected to the power input end of the cutting position spindle 232. The cutting position rotation drive assembly 234 is used to drive the cutting position spindle 232 to rotate, thereby driving the saw blade 233 to rotate. The cutting position forward / backward drive assembly 235 is mounted on the cutting position support 21, and the power output end of the cutting position forward / backward drive assembly 235 is connected to the power input end of the forward / backward seat 231. The cutting position forward / backward drive assembly 235 is used to drive the forward / backward seat 231 to move laterally, so that the saw blade 233 moves closer to or further away from the first linear material or the second linear material clamped by the cutting position clamping mechanism 22.

[0041] It is understandable that, since the forward / reverse seat 231 is slidably mounted on the cutting position support seat 21, and the cutting position spindle 232 is rotatably mounted on the forward / reverse seat 231, the saw blade 233 is mounted on the power output end of the cutting position spindle 232 and close to the cutting position clamping mechanism 22, and the power output end of the cutting position rotation drive assembly 234 is connected to the power input end of the cutting position spindle 232, the cutting position rotation drive assembly 234 can drive the cutting position spindle 232 to rotate, thereby driving the saw blade 233 to rotate. Furthermore, since the power output end of the cutting position forward / reverse drive assembly 235 is connected to the power input end of the forward / reverse seat 231, the cutting position forward / reverse drive assembly 235 can drive the forward / reverse seat 231 to move laterally, thereby causing the saw blade 233 to move closer to or further away from the first linear material or the second linear material clamped by the cutting position clamping mechanism 22, thereby achieving high-efficiency and high-quality cutting of the first linear material and the second linear material in conjunction with the rotation of the saw blade 233.

[0042] It should be noted that the advance / retract seat 231 is used to support the cutting position spindle 232 and, together with the cutting position advance / retract drive assembly 235, realizes the advance and retraction of the saw blade 233, thereby meeting the cutting requirements of linear materials. The specific type of the advance / retract seat 231 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the bottom of the advance / retract seat 231 is provided with a horizontally arranged rail groove, and the cutting position support seat 21 is provided with a horizontally arranged guide rail. The advance / retract seat 231 is slidably arranged on the cutting position support seat 21 through the cooperation of the rail groove and the guide rail.

[0043] The cutting position advance / retreat drive assembly 235 is used to drive the advance / retreat seat 231 to move laterally. The specific type of the cutting position advance / retreat drive assembly 235 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the cutting position advance / retreat drive assembly 235 can be a thin cylinder with a push rod that extends and retracts laterally.

[0044] Among them, a three-position stop solenoid valve plus a time relay can be used to control the action of the cutting position advance and retreat drive assembly 235 (thin cylinder), and a set of throttle valves can be used to control the feed speed.

[0045] This enables segmented and time-based feeding, with stepless speed adjustment of feed rate and cooling status as needed; allowing for flexible adjustment of the cutting process while ensuring stable control of different process formulations.

[0046] The cutting spindle 232 supports the saw blade 233, enabling the cutting spindle drive assembly 234 to rotate the saw blade 233. The rotating saw blade 233 cuts linear materials to form regular continuous material tails and heads. The specific types of the cutting spindle 232 and saw blade 233 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. The saw blade 233 can be a 30-40 mesh cutting disc.

[0047] Two sets of through-beam switches can be installed on both sides of the saw blade 233's movement trajectory to monitor the edge of the saw blade 233's feed and retraction positions, thereby achieving closed-loop control of the feed and retraction positions regardless of the wear of the saw blade 233.

[0048] The cutting position rotary drive assembly 234 is used to drive the cutting position spindle 232 to rotate, thereby driving the saw blade 233 to rotate. The specific type of the cutting position rotary drive assembly 234 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the cutting position rotation drive assembly 234 includes: a cutting position motor base 2341, a cutting position drive motor 2342, and a cutting position intermediate wheel 2343. The cutting position motor base 2341 is hinged to the bottom of the cutting position support base 21, and the cutting position drive motor 2342 is mounted on the cutting position motor base 2341. The cutting position intermediate wheel 2343 is rotatably mounted on the cutting position support base 21. The output shaft of the cutting position drive motor 2342 and the cutting position intermediate wheel 2343 are connected by belt drive, and the cutting position intermediate wheel 2343 and the input shaft of the cutting position main shaft 232 are also connected by belt drive. The cutting position drive motor 2342 drives the cutting position intermediate wheel 2343 to rotate, thereby driving the cutting position main shaft 232 to rotate.

[0050] It is understandable that, since the output shaft of the cutting position drive motor 2342 and the intermediate wheel 2343 of the cutting position are connected by belt drive, and the input shaft of the intermediate wheel 2343 of the cutting position and the main shaft 232 of the cutting position are connected by belt drive, the cutting position drive motor 2342 can drive the intermediate wheel 2343 of the cutting position to rotate by belt drive, thereby driving the main shaft 232 of the cutting position to rotate, thereby realizing the rotation of the saw blade 233 and the cutting of linear materials.

[0051] Furthermore, since the cutting position motor seat 2341 is hinged to the bottom of the cutting position support seat 21, and the cutting position drive motor 2342 is mounted on the cutting position motor seat 2341, the cutting position motor seat 2341 and the cutting position drive motor 2342 can use their own weight to tension the belt between the output shaft of the cutting position drive motor 2342 and the intermediate wheel 2343 of the cutting position, thereby ensuring the stable drive of the saw blade 233 by the cutting position drive motor 2342.

[0052] It should be noted that the output shaft of the cutting position drive motor 2342 and the intermediate pulley 2343 of the cutting position, as well as the intermediate pulley 2343 of the cutting position and the input shaft of the cutting position spindle 232, are all belt drives. Furthermore, the belt between the output shaft of the cutting position drive motor 2342 and the intermediate pulley 2343 of the cutting position is tensioned by the weight of the cutting position motor base 2341 and the cutting position drive motor 2342 itself, thereby ensuring stable transmission while avoiding damage to the equipment due to excessive cutting resistance.

[0053] Moreover, when the saw blade 233 performs the feed and retraction actions, the distance between the input shaft of the cutting position spindle 232 and the intermediate wheel 2343 changes accordingly. However, based on the elastic characteristics of the belt, it is only necessary to ensure that the belt remains taut when the distance between the input shaft of the cutting position spindle 232 and the intermediate wheel 2343 is at its minimum value. Thus, even in scenarios where the distance changes, the cutting position drive motor 2342 can still stably drive the rotation of the saw blade 233.

[0054] The cutting position motor base 2341 is used to support the cutting position drive motor 2342, which is used to drive the cutting position spindle 232, and then drive the saw blade 233. The specific types of the cutting position motor base 2341 and the cutting position drive motor 2342 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, one end of the cutting position motor base 2341 is hinged to the bottom of the cutting position support base 21, and the cutting position drive motor 2342 is arranged on the cutting position support base 21. The angle of the cutting position motor base 2341 is flexibly positioned by the pull of the belt. At the same time, the other end of the cutting position motor base 2341 can be positioned and stored when stopped by a hinge bolt.

[0055] The intermediate pulley 2343 at the cutting position is used for belt drive between the cutting position drive motor 2342 and the cutting position spindle 232. The specific type of the intermediate pulley 2343 at the cutting position can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the rotation center axis of the intermediate pulley 2343 at the cutting position, the rotation center axis of the output shaft of the cutting position drive motor 2342, and the rotation center axis of the input shaft of the cutting position spindle 232 are parallel to each other and located in the longitudinal direction. One end of the intermediate pulley 2343 at the cutting position is connected to the pulley on the output shaft of the cutting position drive motor 2342 via belt drive, and the other end of the intermediate pulley 2343 at the cutting position is connected to the pulley on the input shaft of the cutting position spindle 232 via belt drive.

[0056] In some embodiments, the cutting position support 21 is slidably mounted on the machine tool 1 along the longitudinal direction. The cutting module 2 further includes a reset mechanism, which is mounted on the machine tool 1 and whose power output end is connected to the power input end of the cutting position support 21. The reset mechanism is used to release the cutting position support 21 when the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 clamps the second linear material, causing the cutting position support 21 to move away from the welding module 3, and to drive the cutting position support 21 to move closer to the welding module 3 when the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 releases the second linear material.

[0057] It is understandable that, based on the longitudinal sliding arrangement of the cutting position support 21 on the machine tool 1, and the connection between the power output end of the reset mechanism and the power input end of the cutting position support 21, when the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 clamps the second linear material, the reset mechanism releases the cutting position support 21, thereby causing the cutting position support 21 to move away from the welding module 3. In other words, while the machine tool 1 moves synchronously longitudinally with the first linear material, the cutting position support 21 and the machine tool 1 move relative to each other in opposite directions, thereby keeping the cutting module 2 stationary relative to the second linear material, thus ensuring stable cutting of the second linear material by the cutting module 2; and, when the cutting position clamping mechanism 22 releases the second linear material, the reset mechanism drives the cutting position support 21 to move towards the welding module 3, thereby resetting the cutting module 2, thus ensuring efficient subsequent cutting operations.

[0058] It should be noted that the feed tail moves from the cutting position to the welding position under the relative movement of machine tool 1, while the feed head moves from the cutting position to the welding position under the conveying of the external feeder (the external feeder does not operate during cutting).

[0059] The reset mechanism is used to reset the cutting position support 21. The specific type of the reset mechanism can be set according to actual needs and there is no restriction. For example, the reset mechanism can be a cylinder.

[0060] In some embodiments, the automatic splicing machine further includes a cutting position protective cover, which is disposed on the machine tool 1 and covers the cutting module 2, and cooling compressed air is introduced into the cutting position protective cover.

[0061] It is understandable that, since the cutting position protective cover is set on the machine tool 1 and covers the cutting module 2, and cooling compressed air is introduced into the cutting position protective cover, the cutting module 2 can use compressed air for cooling during the cutting of linear materials, thereby ensuring the realization of liquid-free high-speed cutting.

[0062] It should be noted that the cutting position protective cover covers the cutting module 2 to form a semi-enclosed space at the cutting module 2. Compressed air is introduced from the outside and sprayed out from the nozzle inside the cutting position protective cover to cool the cutting position. The specific type of the cutting position protective cover can be set according to actual needs and there are no restrictions on it. For example, the cutting position protective cover is a cover structure and avoids the movement path of linear materials.

[0063] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the welding module 3 includes: a welding position support 31, a first welding position clamping mechanism 32, a second welding position clamping mechanism 33, a power supply unit 34, and an upsetting drive mechanism 35. The welding position support 31 is mounted on the machine tool 1, and the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 is mounted at the end of the welding position support 31 away from the cutting module 2 and is used to clamp the continuous material tail. The second welding position clamping mechanism 33 is slidably mounted longitudinally at the end of the welding position support 31 close to the cutting module 2 and is used to clamp the continuous material head. The power output terminal of the power supply unit 34 is connected to the clamping end of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the clamping end of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 respectively. The power output terminal of the upsetting drive mechanism 35 is connected to the power input terminal of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33. The upsetting drive mechanism 35 is used to drive the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 to move in the direction close to the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 when the power supply unit 34 supplies power to the clamping end of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the clamping end of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33, so that the continuous material head and the continuous material tail are aligned and welded.

[0064] Understandably, when the cut material head and tail are moved to the welding position, the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 clamps the tail and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 clamps the head. Subsequently, the power supply unit 34 supplies power to the clamping ends of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33. At the same time, the upsetting drive mechanism 35 drives the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 to move in a direction close to the first welding position clamping mechanism 32, so that the tail clamped by the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 and the tail clamped by the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 are aligned and welded to form a continuous section.

[0065] It should be noted that the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 is used to clamp the continuation tail of the first linear material after cutting, and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 is used to clamp the continuation head of the second linear material after cutting. The specific types of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 can be set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions on this.

[0066] The power supply unit 34 is used to supply power to the clamping ends of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 so as to enable hot-melt welding between the continuing material tail and the continuing material head. The specific type of the power supply unit 34 can be set according to actual needs and there is no limitation. For example, the power supply unit 34 can be a 300kvA AC isolation transformer. The transformer converts the external power and supplies it to the clamping ends of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 so that the voltage at the clamping end (welding end) is 14V.

[0067] The transformer can be a two-phase 380V power supply transformer or a three-phase 380V power supply transformer.

[0068] A transformer for a two-phase 380V power supply can be matched with current detection, an open system, where the current can be monitored but not controlled, offering advantages such as high economic efficiency; a transformer for a three-phase 380V power supply can be matched with a power regulator and a thyristor, enabling real-time monitoring of the current and achieving closed-loop control, offering advantages such as controllable welding conditions.

[0069] The upsetting drive mechanism 35 is used to drive the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 to move closer to the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 so that the continuing material head and the continuing material tail are aligned and welded. The specific type of the upsetting drive mechanism 35 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the upsetting drive mechanism 35 can be a thin-type hydraulic cylinder with a pressure resistance of 16.5 MPa and a push rod that extends and retracts longitudinally. The upsetting drive mechanism 35 (thin-type hydraulic cylinder) is controlled by two hydraulic lines, which are matched with a pressure regulating valve and a throttle valve respectively. The first line matched with the pressure regulating valve provides power for the "flash" stage of the hydraulic cylinder and controls the speed, while the second line matched with the throttle valve provides power for the upsetting stage and controls the speed.

[0070] like Figure 5As shown, in some embodiments, the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 respectively include: a welding position clamping seat 331, a first welding jaw 332, a second welding jaw 333, and a welding position clamping drive assembly 334. The welding position clamping seat 331 of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 is disposed at the end of the welding position support 31 away from the cutting module 2, and the welding position clamping seat 331 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 is slidably disposed longitudinally at the end of the welding position support 31 near the cutting module 2. The power output end of the upsetting drive mechanism 35 is connected to the power input end of the welding position clamping seat 331 in the second welding position clamping mechanism 33, and the upsetting drive mechanism 35 is used to drive the welding position clamping seat 331 in the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 to move in a direction close to the welding position clamping seat 331 in the first welding position clamping mechanism 32. The first welding jaw 332 is disposed on the welding position clamping seat 331 and connected to the power output of the power supply unit 34. The first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 are slidably disposed on the welding position clamping seat 331 and connected to the power output terminal of the power supply unit 34. The first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 are disposed opposite to each other and form an upward welding position clamping opening. The welding position clamping drive assembly 334 is disposed on the welding position clamping seat 331. The power output terminal of the welding position clamping drive assembly 334 is connected to the power input terminal of the second welding jaw 333. The welding position clamping drive assembly 334 is used to drive the second welding jaw 333 to move laterally. The welding position clamping opening of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 is used to clamp or release the continuation material tail, and the welding position clamping opening of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 is used to clamp or release the continuation material head.

[0071] It is understandable that, since the first welding jaw 332 is mounted on the welding position clamping seat 331, and the second welding jaw 333 is slidably mounted on the welding position clamping seat 331 laterally, the power output end of the welding position clamping drive assembly 334 is connected to the power input end of the second welding jaw 333, enabling the welding position clamping drive assembly 334 to drive the second welding jaw 333 to move laterally. This allows the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 to clamp or release the continuing material tail, and the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 to clamp or release the continuing material head. Furthermore, since the welding position clamp of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32... The holder 331 is located at the end of the welding position support 31 away from the cutting module 2, and the welding position clamping seat 331 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 is slidably located at the end of the welding position support 31 close to the cutting module 2. The power output end of the upsetting drive mechanism 35 is connected to the power input end of the welding position clamping seat 331 in the second welding position clamping mechanism 33, so that the upsetting drive mechanism 35 can drive the welding position clamping seat 331 in the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 to move in the direction close to the welding position clamping seat 331 in the first welding position clamping mechanism 32, thereby cooperating with the power supply unit 34 to realize the centering welding between the continuing material tail clamped by the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the continuing material head clamped by the second welding position clamping mechanism 33.

[0072] It should be noted that the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 are used to clamp or release linear materials under the drive of the welding position clamping drive assembly 334. Specifically, the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 clamp or release the continuing material tail, and the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 clamp or release the continuing material head. At the same time, by utilizing the power supply unit 34 and the drive of the upsetting drive mechanism 35, the centering welding between the continuing material tail and the continuing material head can be realized.

[0073] The specific types of the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 are made of copper and are extended to make them clamp stably while increasing the effective contact conductive area with the linear material and reducing the probability of abnormal heating and "arcing".

[0074] The welding position clamping ports of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 overlap longitudinally to ensure alignment between the continuing material tail and the continuing material head.

[0075] The welding position clamping drive assembly 334 is used to drive the clamping and releasing actions of the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333. The specific type of the welding position clamping drive assembly 334 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. Under the drive of the welding position clamping drive assembly 334, the clamping force of the first welding jaw 332 and the second welding jaw 333 is 200KN (0-260), which is calculated based on the friction coefficient between the material surface and the jaw (0.15-0.18) and the upsetting force (30KN), as well as taking into account the working conditions (safety factor of 1.3).

[0076] In some embodiments, the welding position clamping drive assembly 334 includes a welding position cylinder, an adapter plate, and a plurality of elastic elements. The welding position cylinder is mounted on the welding position clamping seat 331, the adapter plate is mounted on the push rod of the welding position cylinder, and the plurality of elastic elements are disposed between the adapter plate and the second welding jaw 333.

[0077] Understandably, since the adapter plate is set on the push rod of the welding position cylinder and multiple elastic elements are set between the adapter plate and the second welding jaw 333, the welding position cylinder can use the cooperation of the adapter plate and multiple elastic elements to drive the second welding jaw 333 to move, thereby cooperating with the first welding jaw 332 to achieve flexible clamping of linear materials.

[0078] It should be noted that the specific types of the welding position cylinder, adapter plate, and multiple elastic elements can be set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions on this. For example, the push rod of the welding position cylinder (pressure resistant 31.5MP) extends and retracts laterally, and the elastic element is a spring and is sleeved on the telescopic sliding rod between the adapter plate and the second welding jaw 333.

[0079] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the welding module 3 further includes multiple guiding mechanisms 36, each including a guide post 361, an insulating guide sleeve 362, and a guide seat 363. The guide post 361 is longitudinally disposed on the welding position support 31, and the insulating guide sleeve 362 is slidably sleeved on the guide post 361. The guide seat 363 is sleeved on the insulating guide sleeve 362. The welding position clamping seat 331 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 is disposed on the multiple guide seats 363.

[0080] It is understandable that, since the insulating guide sleeve 362 is slidably mounted on the guide post 361 along the longitudinal direction, and the guide seat 363 is mounted on the insulating guide sleeve 362, the welding position clamping seat 331 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 is arranged on multiple guide seats 363. This allows the welding position clamping seat 331 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 to slide along the guide post 361 while also achieving insulation isolation with the insulating guide sleeve 362, thereby ensuring stable welding between the continuing material tail and the continuing material head.

[0081] It should be noted that the guide post 361, insulating guide sleeve 362, and guide seat 363 are used for longitudinal guidance of the welding position clamping seat 331 of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33. The specific types of the guide post 361, insulating guide sleeve 362, and guide seat 363 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the guide post 361 can be a special steel tempered and chrome-plated shaft, the insulating guide sleeve 362 can be a POM insulating sliding sleeve with a grease groove, and the guide seat 363 can be a steel sliding sleeve seat (coefficient of about 3.5). Among them, the upsetting force is transmitted and insulated by a POM sheet of reasonable volume, and the upsetting force is 30KN (0-35), which is determined comprehensively based on the material, material diameter, and flash welding process conditions.

[0082] The welding position clamping seat 331 of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 can also be fixedly mounted on the guide mechanism 36 to ensure that the welding position clamping port of the first welding position clamping mechanism 32 and the welding position clamping port of the second welding position clamping mechanism 33 are aligned longitudinally.

[0083] In some embodiments, the automatic welding machine further includes a welding position protective cover, which is disposed on the machine tool 1 and covers the welding module 3, and cooling compressed air is introduced into the welding position protective cover.

[0084] It is understandable that, since the welding position protective cover is set on the machine tool 1 and covers the welding module 3, and cooling compressed air is introduced into the welding position protective cover, the welding module 3 can use compressed air for cooling during the welding of linear materials, thereby achieving efficient welding between the continuation tail and the continuation head.

[0085] It should be noted that the welding position protective cover covers the welding module 3 to form a semi-enclosed space at the welding module 3. Compressed air is introduced from the outside and sprayed out from the nozzle inside the welding position protective cover to cool the welding position. The specific type of welding position protective cover can be set according to actual needs and there are no restrictions on it. For example, the welding position protective cover is a cover structure and avoids the movement path of linear materials.

[0086] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the machine tool 1 includes: a base 11, a frame 12, a lifting mechanism 13, a follower clamping mechanism 14, and a longitudinal sliding mechanism 15. The cutting module 2 and the welding module 3 are respectively disposed on the frame 12 and spaced apart longitudinally. The longitudinal sliding mechanism 15 is disposed between the base 11 and the bearing surface, and the base 11 is slidably disposed on the bearing surface longitudinally via the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15. The lifting mechanism 13 is disposed between the frame 12 and the base 11, and is used to drive the frame 12 to rise to a first height. The follower clamping mechanism 14 is disposed on the frame 12, and is used to clamp a first linear material moving longitudinally when the frame 12 rises to the first height, so that the frame 12 and the first linear material are relatively stationary or move relative to each other longitudinally.

[0087] It is understandable that, since the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15 is disposed between the base 11 and the bearing surface, the base 11 can slide longitudinally on the bearing surface through the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15. Since the lifting mechanism 13 is disposed between the frame 12 and the base 11, the frame 12 can be lifted and lowered on the base 11 by means of the lifting mechanism 13. Since the follower clamping mechanism 14 is disposed on the frame 12, the follower clamping mechanism 14 can be lifted and lowered synchronously with the frame 12 and can perform clamping actions.

[0088] Specifically, when the lifting mechanism 13 drives the frame 12 to rise to the first height, the follow-up clamping mechanism 14 clamps the first linear material that moves longitudinally. Thus, based on the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15, the frame 12 and the first linear material are relatively stationary or move relative to each other in the longitudinal direction, which facilitates the automatic splicing of the linear material in conjunction with the cutting module 2 and welding module 3 on the frame 12.

[0089] It should be noted that the frame 12 is used to support the cutting module 2, welding module 3, etc. of the automatic splicing machine, and the base 11 is used to support the frame 12. The specific types of the base 11 and the frame 12 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the frame 12 is composed of multiple horizontal beams, multiple vertical beams and multiple vertical beams, and the base 11 is composed of multiple horizontal beams and multiple vertical beams. The frame 12 is located above the base 11. When the frame 12 rises to the first height, it can realize the clamping and processing of the first and second linear materials by the cutting module 2 and the welding module 3. When the frame 12 falls to the second height, it can move away from the linear materials to avoid affecting the subsequent operations of the linear materials.

[0090] The lifting mechanism 13 is used to drive the lifting of the frame 12, so that the frame 12 rises to a first height, or falls to a second height, or even falls to a third height, to lift the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15. The specific type of the lifting mechanism 13 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto.

[0091] The follower position clamping mechanism 14 is used to clamp the first linear material moving longitudinally when the frame 12 rises to the first height. The specific type of the follower position clamping mechanism 14 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto.

[0092] The longitudinal sliding mechanism 15 is used for the longitudinal sliding of the base 11 on the bearing surface. The specific type of the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15 can be set according to actual needs and there is no limitation thereto.

[0093] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the lifting mechanism 13 includes a lifting drive assembly 131 and a plurality of telescopic transmission assemblies 132. The telescopic transmission assemblies 132 are disposed between the frame 12 and the base 11, and the plurality of telescopic transmission assemblies 132 are distributed at intervals along the circumference of the frame 12. The power output end of the lifting drive assembly 131 is connected to the power input end of the plurality of telescopic transmission assemblies 132, and the lifting drive assembly 131 is used to drive the plurality of telescopic transmission assemblies 132 to extend and retract synchronously, thereby driving the frame 12 to rise to a first height or descend to a second height.

[0094] Understandably, since the telescopic transmission assembly 132 is located between the frame 12 and the base 11, and the power output end of the lifting drive assembly 131 is connected to the power input end of multiple telescopic transmission assemblies 132 respectively, the lifting drive assembly 131 can drive multiple telescopic transmission assemblies 132 to extend and retract synchronously, thereby driving the frame 12 to rise and fall. Specifically, under the drive of the lifting drive assembly 131, the frame 12 rises to a first height so that the cutting module 2 and welding module 3 of the automatic splicing machine can perform splicing processing on the linear material, or falls to a second height so as to avoid the automatic splicing machine affecting the subsequent operation of the linear material.

[0095] It should be noted that the lifting drive assembly 131 is used to drive the telescopic transmission assembly 132 to extend and retract. The specific type of the lifting drive assembly 131 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the lifting drive assembly 131 can be an integrated drive module composed of a motor and a reduction gear.

[0096] The telescopic transmission assembly 132 is used to convert the rotational motion of the power output end of the lifting drive assembly 131 into telescopic motion. The specific type of the telescopic transmission assembly 132 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto.

[0097] In some embodiments, the telescopic transmission assembly 132 includes an inner rod, an outer cylinder, a worm gear, and a worm. The inner rod is mounted on the base 11, the outer cylinder is rotatably mounted on the frame 12 and threaded onto the inner rod, the worm gear is mounted on the outer cylinder, and the worm is rotatably mounted on the frame 12, with the worm gear and worm meshing. The power output end of the lifting drive assembly 131 is connected to the power input end of the worm, and the lifting drive assembly 131 drives the worm to rotate, thereby causing the outer cylinder to rotate and rise relative to the inner rod.

[0098] Understandably, since the inner rod is mounted on the base 11 and the outer cylinder is rotatably mounted on the frame 12, with the outer cylinder threaded onto the inner rod, the outer cylinder can be raised and lowered by utilizing the threaded structure on the inner rod when it rotates. Furthermore, since the worm gear is mounted on the outer cylinder and the worm is rotatably mounted on the frame 12, with the worm gear and worm meshing, the rotation of the worm can drive the turbine to rotate, thereby driving the outer cylinder to rotate. Simultaneously, since the power output end of the lifting drive assembly 131 is connected to the power input end of the worm, the lifting drive assembly 131 can drive the worm to rotate. Therefore, driven by the lifting drive assembly 131, the frame 12 can be raised and lowered on the base 11 by utilizing the cooperation of the inner rod, outer cylinder, worm gear, and worm.

[0099] It should be noted that the inner rod and outer cylinder are used to cooperate to convert rotational motion into lifting motion. The specific types of the inner rod and outer cylinder can be set according to actual needs and there are no restrictions. For example, the inner rod is a rod-shaped structure and is arranged vertically on the base 11. The outer cylinder is rotatably mounted on the frame 12 using bearings and is arranged vertically. The outer cylinder is threaded onto the inner rod so that the inner cylinder can be lifted and lowered while rotating.

[0100] The worm gear and worm are used to change the direction of rotation. The specific type of worm gear and worm can be set according to actual needs and there is no restriction. For example, the worm gear is sleeved on the outer cylinder with the central axis in the vertical direction, and the worm is rotated on the frame 12 with the central axis in the horizontal direction.

[0101] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the plurality of telescopic transmission components 132 include: a first telescopic transmission component 132, a second telescopic transmission component 132, a third telescopic transmission component 132, and a fourth telescopic transmission component 132. The first, second, third, and fourth telescopic transmission components 132 are respectively disposed between the frame 12 and the base 11, and the first and second telescopic transmission components 132, as well as the third and fourth telescopic transmission components 132, are distributed laterally at intervals. The moving component 132, the second telescopic transmission component 132, and the fourth telescopic transmission component 132 are respectively distributed longitudinally at intervals; the lifting mechanism 13 also includes: a first transfer transmission box 133, a second transfer transmission box 134, and a third transfer transmission box 135. The second transfer transmission box 134, the first transfer transmission box 133, and the third transfer transmission box 135 are respectively arranged on the frame 12 and distributed laterally at intervals. The second transfer transmission box 134 is located between the first telescopic transmission component 132 and the second telescopic transmission component 132, and the third transfer transmission box 135 is located between the third telescopic transmission component 132 and the fourth telescopic transmission component 132.

[0102] The lifting drive assembly 131 has its power output end connected to the power input end of the first transfer transmission box 133, and the first power output end of the first transfer transmission box 133 is connected to the power input end of the second transfer transmission box 134. The second power output end of the first transfer transmission box 133 is connected to the power input end of the third transfer transmission box 135. The first power output end of the second transfer transmission box 134 is connected to the power input end of the first telescopic transmission assembly 132, and the second power output end of the second transfer transmission box 134 is connected to the power input end of the second telescopic transmission assembly 132. The first power output end of the third transfer transmission box 135 is connected to the power input end of the third telescopic transmission assembly 132, and the second power output end of the third transfer transmission box 135 is connected to the power input end of the fourth telescopic transmission assembly 132.

[0103] Understandably, since the power output end of the lifting drive assembly 131 is connected to the power input end of the first transfer transmission box 133, and the first power output end of the first transfer transmission box 133 is connected to the power input end of the second transfer transmission box 134, and the first power output end of the second transfer transmission box 134 is connected to the power input end of the first telescopic transmission assembly 132, and the second power output end of the second transfer transmission box 134 is connected to the power input end of the second telescopic transmission assembly 132, the lifting drive assembly 131 can use the first transfer transmission box 133 and the second transfer transmission box 134 to drive the first telescopic transmission assembly 132 and the second telescopic transmission assembly 132 to extend and retract.

[0104] Since the power output end of the lifting drive assembly 131 is connected to the power input end of the first transfer transmission box 133, and the second power output end of the first transfer transmission box 133 is connected to the power input end of the third transfer transmission box 135, the first power output end of the third transfer transmission box 135 is connected to the power input end of the third telescopic transmission assembly 132, and the second power output end of the third transfer transmission box 135 is connected to the power input end of the fourth telescopic transmission assembly 132, the lifting drive assembly 131 can use the first transfer transmission box 133 and the third transfer transmission box 135 to drive the third telescopic transmission assembly 132 and the fourth telescopic transmission assembly 132 to extend and retract.

[0105] Therefore, under the drive of the lifting drive assembly 131, and with the cooperation of the first transfer transmission box 133, the second transfer transmission box 134 and the third transfer transmission box 135, the synchronous extension and retraction of the first telescopic transmission assembly 132, the second telescopic transmission assembly 132, the third telescopic transmission assembly 132 and the fourth telescopic transmission assembly 132 can be realized, thereby achieving stable lifting and lowering of the frame 12.

[0106] It should be noted that the first telescopic transmission assembly 132, the second telescopic transmission assembly 132, the third telescopic transmission assembly 132, and the fourth telescopic transmission assembly 132 are all telescopic transmission assemblies 132 including an inner rod, an outer cylinder, a worm gear, and a worm. The first transfer transmission box 133, the second transfer transmission box 134, and the third transfer transmission box 135 are used for transmission between the lifting drive assembly 131 and each telescopic transmission assembly 132. The specific types of the first transfer transmission box 133, the second transfer transmission box 134, and the third transfer transmission box 135 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the first transfer transmission box 133, the second transfer transmission box 134, and the third transfer transmission box 135 can be rotational steering mechanisms with multiple bevel gears to convert the power output direction of the lifting drive assembly 131 to the power input direction required by each telescopic transmission assembly 132.

[0107] like Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the follower clamping mechanism 14 includes: a follower clamping seat 141, a first follower clamping component 142, a second follower clamping component 143, and a follower clamping drive component 144. The follower clamping seat 141 is disposed on the frame 12, and the first follower clamping component 142 and the second follower clamping component 143 are respectively slidably disposed laterally on the follower clamping seat 141, with the first follower clamping component 142 and the second follower clamping component 143 arranged opposite to each other. The follower clamping drive component 144 is disposed on the follower clamping seat 141, and is used to drive the first follower clamping component 142 and the second follower clamping component 143 to move laterally relative to each other to clamp a first linear material, and to drive the first follower clamping component 142 and the second follower clamping component 143 to move laterally opposite to each other to release the first linear material.

[0108] It is understandable that when the first linear material is located between the first follower clamping component 142 and the second follower clamping component 143, the follower clamping drive component 144 drives the first follower clamping component 142 and the second follower clamping component 143 to move laterally relative to each other, thereby using the first follower clamping component 142 and the second follower clamping component 143 to clamp the first linear material, and then cooperate with the cutting module 2 and the welding module 3 to achieve high-efficiency and high-quality splicing of the linear material.

[0109] It should be noted that the first follower position clamping component 142 and the second follower position clamping component 143 are used to move relative to or away from each other under the drive of the follower position clamping drive component 144, so as to realize the clamping and release of the first linear material. The specific types of the first follower position clamping component 142 and the second follower position clamping component 143 can be set according to actual needs, and there is no limitation thereto.

[0110] The follower position clamping drive component 144 is used to drive the relative or opposite movement of the first follower position clamping component 142 and the second follower position clamping component 143. The specific type of the follower position clamping drive component 144 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto.

[0111] like Figure 8As shown, in some embodiments, the second follower-position clamping assembly 143 includes: a follower-position driven clamping seat 1431, a driving wheel 1432, and a clamping drive assembly 1433. The follower-position driven clamping seat 1431 is slidably disposed on the follower-position clamping seat 1431 in a lateral direction, and the driving wheel 1432 is rotatably disposed on the follower-position driven clamping seat 1431. The power output end of the clamping drive assembly 1433 is connected to the power input end of the driving wheel 1432; the first follower-position clamping assembly... 142 includes: a follower active clamping seat 1421 and a driven wheel 1422. The follower active clamping seat 1421 is slidably disposed on the follower clamping seat 141 in a transverse direction, and the driven wheel 1422 is rotatably disposed on the follower active clamping seat 1421 and is disposed opposite to the active wheel 1432. The power output end of the follower clamping drive assembly 144 is connected to the power input end of the follower active clamping seat 1421 and the power input end of the follower driven clamping seat 1431, respectively.

[0112] The follower position clamping drive assembly 144 is used to drive the follower position active clamping seat 1421 and the follower position driven clamping seat 1431 to move laterally relative to each other or opposite to each other, so that the active wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 clamp or release the first linear material. The clamping drive assembly 1433 is used to drive the active wheel 1432 to rotate when the active wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 clamp the first linear material, so that the frame 12 moves longitudinally relative to the first linear material.

[0113] It is understandable that, since the follower-position driven clamping seat 1431 is slidably disposed on the follower-position clamping seat 141 in the lateral direction, and the follower-position active clamping seat 1421 is slidably disposed on the follower-position clamping seat 141 in the lateral direction, the power output end of the follower-position clamping drive assembly 144 is connected to the power input end of the follower-position active clamping seat 1421 and the power input end of the follower-position driven clamping seat 1431 respectively, so that the follower-position clamping drive assembly 144 can drive the follower-position active clamping seat 1421 and the follower-position driven clamping seat 1431 to move relative to each other or move away from each other in the lateral direction.

[0114] Furthermore, since the drive wheel 1432 is rotatably mounted on the follower position driven clamping seat 1431, and the driven wheel 1422 is rotatably mounted on the follower position active clamping seat 1421 and is arranged opposite to the drive wheel 1432, when the follower position active clamping seat 1421 and the follower position driven clamping seat 1431 move laterally relative to each other, the drive wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 can clamp the first linear material, and when the follower position active clamping seat 1421 and the follower position driven clamping seat 1431 move laterally opposite to each other, the drive wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 can release the first linear material.

[0115] Meanwhile, since the power output end of the clamping drive assembly 1433 is connected to the power input end of the drive wheel 1432, when the drive wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 clamp the first linear material, the clamping drive assembly 1433 can drive the drive wheel 1432 to rotate, thereby causing the frame 12 to move longitudinally relative to the first linear material, and thus cooperate with the cutting module 2 and the welding module 3 to realize the automatic continuation of the linear material.

[0116] It should be noted that the follower position driven clamping seat 1431 is used to support the driving wheel 1432 and the clamping drive assembly 1433, and the follower position active clamping seat 1421 is used to support the driven wheel 1422. Furthermore, the follower position driven clamping seat 1431 and the follower position active clamping seat 1421 move relative to or away from each other under the drive of the follower position clamping drive assembly 144, thereby driving the driving wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 to clamp or release the first linear material. The specific types of the follower position driven clamping seat 1431 and the follower position active clamping seat 1421 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the follower position driven clamping seat 1431 and the follower position active clamping seat 1421 are respectively seat structures, which are slidably set on the follower position clamping seat 141 by the cooperation of the rail groove and the guide rail.

[0117] The driving wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 are used to clamp or release the first linear material. When the driving wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 clamp the first linear material, the relative stationary position or relative movement between the frame 12 and the first linear material is achieved by driving the clamping drive assembly 1433. The specific types of the driving wheel 1432 and the driven wheel 1422 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto.

[0118] The clamping drive assembly 1433 is used to drive the drive wheel 1432 to rotate or remain stationary, so as to achieve relative stationary or relative movement between the frame 12 and the first linear material. The specific type of the clamping drive assembly 1433 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the clamping drive assembly 1433 can be an integrated drive module consisting of a motor and a reduction gear.

[0119] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the follower position clamping drive assembly 144 includes: a follower position gear 1441, a first follower position rack 1442, a second follower position rack 1443, and a follower position telescopic member 1444.

[0120] The follower gear 1441 is rotatably mounted on the follower clamping seat 141, and the first follower rack 1442 and the second follower rack 1443 are respectively slidably mounted on the follower clamping seat 141 in the lateral direction and respectively mesh with the two sides of the follower gear 1441. The first follower rack 1442 is disposed between the power output end of the follower telescopic member 1444 and the follower active clamping seat 1421, and the second follower rack 1443 is connected to the follower driven clamping seat 1431. The follower telescopic member 1444 is used to drive the first follower rack 1442 to move laterally, so as to drive the follower active clamping seat 1421 and the follower driven clamping seat 1431 to move laterally relative to each other or opposite to each other.

[0121] It is understandable that, since the follower gear 1441 is rotatably mounted on the follower clamping seat 141, and the first follower rack 1442 and the second follower rack 1443 are respectively slidably mounted on the follower clamping seat 141 in the lateral direction and respectively mesh with the two sides of the follower gear 1441, when the first follower rack 1442 moves in the lateral direction, the second follower rack 1443 can be moved synchronously in the opposite direction by the transmission between the first follower rack 1442 and the second follower rack 1443 using the follower gear 1441.

[0122] Furthermore, since the first follower rack 1442 is disposed between the power output end of the follower telescopic member 1444 and the follower active clamping seat 1421, and the second follower rack 1443 is connected to the follower driven clamping seat 1431, when the power output end of the follower telescopic member 1444 extends or retracts, it can drive the first follower rack 1442 and the second follower rack 1443 to move synchronously in opposite directions in the lateral direction, thereby driving the follower active clamping seat 1421 and the follower driven clamping seat 1431 to move relative to each other or back to back in the lateral direction, thereby realizing the clamping and release of the first linear material.

[0123] It should be noted that the follower gear 1441 is used for the linkage between the first follower rack 1442 and the second follower rack 1443, that is, to make the first follower rack 1442 and the second follower rack 1443 move synchronously in opposite directions. The specific type of the follower gear 1441 can be set according to actual needs and there is no limitation. For example, the follower gear 1441 is a gear structure and is rotatably arranged on the follower clamping seat 141 using a bearing, wherein the rotation center axis of the bearing is located in the longitudinal direction.

[0124] The first follower rack 1442 and the second follower rack 1443 are used to cooperate with the follower gear 1441 to realize the linkage between the follower active clamping seat 1421 and the follower driven clamping seat 1431, so as to realize the synchronous action of the follower active clamping seat 1421 and the follower driven clamping seat 1431 by utilizing the extension and retraction of the same follower telescopic member 1444, thereby achieving stable clamping of the first linear material.

[0125] The follower telescopic component 1444 is used to directly drive the first follower rack 1442 and indirectly drive the second follower rack 1443, thereby realizing the synchronous action of the follower active clamping seat 1421 and the follower driven clamping seat 1431. The specific type of the follower telescopic component 1444 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited thereto. For example, the follower telescopic component 1444 can be a thin hydraulic cylinder with the push rod extending and retracting laterally.

[0126] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the machine tool 1 further includes a transverse translation mechanism 16, which is disposed between the frame 12 and the bearing surface. The lifting mechanism 13 is also used to drive the frame 12 down to a third height, so that the base 11 is moved away from the bearing surface, and the frame 12 moves laterally on the bearing surface via the transverse translation mechanism 16.

[0127] It is understandable that, since the transverse translation mechanism 16 is set between the frame 12 and the bearing surface, the frame 12 as a whole can move laterally on the bearing surface using the transverse translation mechanism 16. Specifically, the lifting mechanism 13 drives the frame 12 to descend to the third height so that the base 11 is away from the bearing surface and the frame 12 is supported on the bearing surface by the transverse translation mechanism 16. Thus, the frame 12 moves laterally on the bearing surface using the transverse translation mechanism 16, thereby satisfying the transfer and switching of the automatic splicing machine between different production lines.

[0128] It should be noted that the transverse translation mechanism 16 is used in conjunction with the lifting mechanism 13 to achieve the overall transverse movement of the machine tool 1. The specific type of the transverse translation mechanism 16 can be set according to actual needs, and there are no restrictions on it.

[0129] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, in some embodiments, the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15 includes: at least one longitudinal guide rail 151, which is longitudinally disposed on the bearing surface, and the base 11 is longitudinally slidably disposed on the longitudinal guide rail 151; the transverse translation mechanism 16 includes: at least one transverse guide rail 161, which is transversely disposed on the bearing surface, the longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161 are intersecting, and an intersection notch is provided at the intersection of the longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161, wherein, when the frame 12 descends At the third height, the base 11 is away from the longitudinal guide rail 151, and the frame 12 is slidably mounted on the transverse guide rail 161; the machine tool 1 also includes: a reversing mechanism 17, which includes: a reversing guide rail 171 and a reversing drive assembly 172. The reversing guide rail 171 is disposed in the cross notch, and the power output end of the reversing drive assembly 172 is connected to the power input end of the reversing guide rail 171. The reversing drive assembly 172 is used to drive the reversing guide rail 171 to rotate, so that the reversing guide rail 171 is arranged longitudinally or transversely.

[0130] It is understandable that, since the longitudinal guide rail 151 is arranged longitudinally on the bearing surface and the base 11 is slidably arranged on the longitudinal guide rail 151, when the lifting mechanism 13 has not been lowered to the third height, the base 11 can be slidably arranged on the bearing surface through the longitudinal guide rail 151, thereby facilitating the follow-up of the machine tool 1 to the linear material.

[0131] Based on the transverse guide rail 161 being arranged transversely on the bearing surface, when the frame 12 descends to the third height, the base 11 moves away from the longitudinal guide rail 151, and the frame 12 is slidably arranged on the transverse guide rail 161. Thus, the frame 12 can be slidably arranged transversely on the bearing surface via the transverse guide rail 161, thereby facilitating the transverse transfer of the machine tool 1.

[0132] In addition, since there is a cross gap at the intersection of the longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161, and the reversing guide rail 171 is located in the cross gap, the power output end of the reversing drive assembly 172 is connected to the power input end of the reversing guide rail 171, so that the reversing drive assembly 172 can drive the reversing guide rail 171 to rotate, so that the reversing guide rail 171 is arranged longitudinally or transversely, thereby meeting the movement requirements of the machine tool 1 in different directions.

[0133] Specifically, when the lifting mechanism 13 has not descended to the third height, the reversing drive assembly 172 drives the reversing guide rail 171 to rotate so that the reversing guide rail 171 is arranged longitudinally. At this time, the base 11 can be slidably mounted on the bearing surface in the longitudinal direction through the longitudinal guide rail 151, and the longitudinally arranged reversing guide rail 171 ensures the stable longitudinal movement of the machine tool 1 at the cross gap.

[0134] When the lifting mechanism 13 descends to the third height, the reversing drive assembly 172 drives the reversing guide rail 171 to rotate so that the reversing guide rail 171 is arranged laterally. At this time, the base 11 can be slidably mounted on the bearing surface through the transverse guide rail 161, and the transversely arranged reversing guide rail 171 ensures the stable transverse movement of the machine tool 1 at the intersection gap.

[0135] It should be noted that the longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161 are used for the longitudinal and transverse movement of the machine tool 1. The specific types of the longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161 can be set according to actual needs and there is no restriction. For example, two longitudinal guide rails 151 and two transverse guide rails 161 are used. The longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161 form a grid-shaped guide rail structure. The intersection of the grid is the intersection gap, which is used to reduce the vertical space occupied by the machine tool 1.

[0136] The reversing guide rail 171 is used to rotate under the drive of the reversing drive assembly 172 to fill the gap at the intersection of the longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161. The specific types of the reversing guide rail 171 and the reversing drive assembly 172 can be set according to actual needs and are not limited thereto. For example, the reversing guide rail 171 has the same structure as the longitudinal guide rail 151 and the transverse guide rail 161 respectively to ensure a smooth transition at the intersection. The reversing drive assembly 172 can be an integrated drive module composed of a thin hydraulic cylinder and a gear box. The gears and shafts in the gear box cooperate to realize the output direction of the thin hydraulic cylinder, for example, from the horizontal direction to the vertical direction.

[0137] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the longitudinal sliding mechanism 15 further includes at least one longitudinal roller 152, which is rotatably mounted on the base 11 and rollably mounted on the longitudinal guide rail 151; the transverse translation mechanism 16 further includes at least one transverse roller 162 and at least one translation drive assembly 163, wherein the transverse roller 162 is rotatably mounted on the frame 12, and the power output end of the translation drive assembly 163 is connected to the power input end of the transverse roller 162. When the frame 12 descends to the third height, the transverse roller 162 rolls on the transverse guide rail 161, and the translation drive assembly 163 drives the transverse roller 162 to rotate, thereby causing the frame 12 to move laterally on the bearing surface.

[0138] It is understandable that, since the longitudinal roller 152 is rotatably mounted on the base 11 and the longitudinal roller 152 is rolled on the longitudinal guide rail 151, when the lifting mechanism 13 has not descended to the third height, the base 11 can achieve longitudinal sliding arrangement on the bearing surface through the cooperation of the longitudinal roller 152 and the longitudinal guide rail 151.

[0139] Based on the rotatable horizontal roller 162 mounted on the frame 12, when the frame 12 descends to the third height, the horizontal roller 162 is rolled on the horizontal guide rail 161, and the translation drive assembly 163 drives the horizontal roller 162 to rotate, thereby causing the frame 12 to move laterally on the bearing surface, thus meeting the line switching requirements.

[0140] In some embodiments, the longitudinal guide rail 151 is a planar guide rail, and the longitudinal roller 152 corresponding to the longitudinal guide rail 151 is a planar roller; or, the longitudinal guide rail 151 is a protruding guide rail, and the longitudinal roller 152 corresponding to the longitudinal guide rail 151 is a concave roller.

[0141] For example, of the two longitudinal guide rails 151, one longitudinal guide rail 151 is a planar guide rail, while the other longitudinal guide rail 151 is a protruding guide rail (triangular protrusion).

[0142] In some embodiments, the transverse guide rail 161 is a planar guide rail, and the transverse roller 162 corresponding to the transverse guide rail 161 is a planar roller; or, the transverse guide rail 161 is a protruding guide rail, and the transverse roller 162 corresponding to the transverse guide rail 161 is a concave roller.

[0143] For example, of the two transverse guides 161, one transverse guide 161 is a planar guide, while the other transverse guide 161 is a convex guide.
