Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of transport vehicle manufacturing equipment technology, specifically a welding device for transport vehicle manufacturing. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of transport vehicles, the welding of steel plates is one of the key steps. Existing technologies, such as the invention patent CN202311154441.2 entitled "A Welding Device for Automobile Parts," can adaptively fix automobile parts of different shapes by setting up a parts fixing component, and then conveniently position and weld them according to the required welding location. Although this has advantages such as good compatibility, ease of operation, and good welding assistance in the welding process of automobile parts, it still has some shortcomings in the field of transport vehicle manufacturing, especially for welding large-area steel plates on transport vehicles.

[0003] The steel plates on transport vehicles are typically large in size, irregular in shape, and have varied welding positions. Existing welding equipment suffers from the following problems when welding such steel plates: firstly, the steel plates are not securely fixed, and displacement easily occurs during welding, leading to unstable weld quality; secondly, welding efficiency is low, as the clamping, positioning, and welding of the steel plates must be performed separately, making continuous welding impossible. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a welding device for transport vehicle manufacturing that can solve the above problems, thereby improving welding quality and efficiency while reducing operational difficulty and cost.

[0017] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0018] This invention provides a welding apparatus for manufacturing transport vehicles, which has the following advantages: 1. This invention achieves continuous welding by setting up two worktables (a first worktable and a second worktable) that alternately move to the welding position. While welding is being performed on the first worktable, the second worktable can simultaneously clamp and position the steel plate. After the first worktable completes welding, the second worktable quickly moves to the welding position for the next round of welding, thus greatly improving welding efficiency. Furthermore, the drive mechanism uses chain transmission, enabling smooth and rapid movement of the two worktables, further shortening the welding cycle. This continuous welding method not only improves production efficiency but also reduces equipment downtime and lowers production costs.

[0019] 2. This invention, by incorporating a fixing component, automatically clamps and presses the steel plate during the sliding displacement of the first or second worktable, ensuring the steel plate is firmly fixed during welding and avoiding welding quality problems caused by steel plate displacement. The fixing component includes a clamping assembly and a pressing assembly. The clamping assembly, through structures such as a first threaded rod, a first gear, and a moving plate, can automatically adjust the clamping position according to the size of the steel plate, achieving stable clamping of steel plates of different sizes. The pressing assembly, through structures such as an L-shaped rod, a pressure plate, and a spring, can automatically apply pressure after the steel plates are joined, further enhancing the fixing effect. This automated fixing method not only improves welding quality but also reduces manual intervention and lowers the operational difficulty. Attached Figure Description

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this invention, and not all embodiments.

[0025] Please see Figures 1 to 8 The present invention provides a technical solution: a welding device for manufacturing transport vehicles, which is used for welding steel plates on transport vehicles, including a mounting frame 1, welding components, a first worktable 7, a second worktable 31, and a driving component.

[0026] A mounting bracket 40 is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting frame 1. The welding component is fixedly installed on the mounting bracket 40. The welding component includes a welding torch 38, and the welding position is located below the welding torch 38. The welding torch 38 is used to perform welding operations.

[0027] Among them, the mounting frame 1 serves as the main frame of the entire welding device, playing the role of supporting and fixing other components, ensuring the structural stability and rigidity of the entire device, and providing a stable operating platform for welding operations.

[0028] The first worktable 7 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 1. A support component is installed on the inner bottom wall of the mounting frame 1, and the second worktable 31 is slidably mounted on the support component.

[0029] The supporting components provide support for the second worktable 31. The first worktable 7 is used to place the steel plate to be welded, enabling the movement and positioning of the steel plate for welding operations. The second worktable 31 is used to place the steel plate to be welded. During the welding process, the second worktable 31 and the first worktable 7 alternately move to the welding position, achieving continuity in the welding process and improving welding efficiency.

[0030] The driving component includes two driving assemblies, which are respectively mounted on the two side walls of the mounting bracket 1. The two driving assemblies are respectively connected to the first worktable 7 and the second worktable 31, and drive the first worktable 7 and the second worktable 31 to move alternately to the welding position.

[0031] Among them, the two drive components in the drive unit are used to drive the first worktable 7 and the second worktable 31 to move alternately to the welding position.

[0032] Both the first worktable 7 and the second worktable 31 are equipped with fixing components for clamping and pressing the steel plate. The first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31 is connected to the fixing components in a transmission manner. When the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31 slides, it drives the fixing components to clamp the steel plate.

[0033] Specifically, the welding components include a fixed frame 34, a second motor 35, a second threaded rod 36, a second moving block 37, and at least one servo electric cylinder 39. The servo electric cylinder 39 is longitudinally fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 40, and its output shaft passes through the fixed frame 40. The fixed frame 34 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft end of the servo electric cylinder 39, and the servo electric cylinder 39 drives the fixed frame 34 to move up and down. The second threaded rod 36 is rotatably mounted on the fixed frame 34, and the second motor 35 is fixedly mounted on the fixed frame 34. The second motor 35 is drively connected to the second threaded rod 36, and drives the second threaded rod 36 to rotate. The second moving block 37 is laterally slidably mounted on the fixed frame 34, and the second threaded rod 36 is threadedly connected to the second moving block 37. The welding torch 38 is fixedly mounted on the second moving block 37.

[0034] In this design, a servo electric cylinder 39 drives the fixed frame 34 to move up and down, allowing the welding torch 38 to be adjusted in height according to the welding position. A second motor 35 drives the second threaded rod 36 to rotate, causing the second moving block 37 to slide laterally within the fixed frame 34, thereby enabling the welding torch 38 to move laterally and ensuring precise alignment with the welding position. This structure allows for multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the welding torch 38, improving welding flexibility and precision.

[0035] Specifically, the drive assembly includes a first motor 2, which is connected to a first worktable 7 or a second worktable 31 for transmission, and the first motor 2 drives the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31 to slide.

[0036] Among them, the first motor 2, as the core power source of the drive component, drives the sprocket 4 to rotate through the transmission connection, thereby driving the chain 5 to move, realizing the sliding displacement of the first worktable 7 and the second worktable 31, controlling the alternating movement of the two worktables, and is an important power component for realizing the automation and continuity of the welding process.

[0037] More specifically, the drive assembly also includes a chain 5, a tension sprocket 6, and multiple sprockets 4. The first motor 2 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting frame 1. The tension sprocket 6 and multiple sprockets 4 are rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame 1. The chain 5 is wound around the tension sprocket 6 and each of the sprockets 4, and the chain 5 meshes with the tension sprocket 6 and each of the sprockets 4 respectively. The first motor 2 is drively connected to one of the sprockets 4, and the first motor 2 drives the sprocket 4 to rotate.

[0038] The tension sprocket 6 prevents the chain 5 from loosening or slipping during transmission. The sprocket 4, through its engagement with the chain 5, transmits power from the first motor 2 to the chain 5, driving its movement and consequently causing the sliding displacement of the first worktable 7 and the second worktable 31, thus achieving alternating movement of the worktables. After the first motor 2 starts, it drives the sprocket 4 to rotate via a transmission connection, and the rotation of the sprocket 4 further drives the chain 5. Because the chain 5 is engaged with the tension sprocket 6 and all the sprockets 4, the chain 5 can transmit power smoothly. The first worktable 7 and the second worktable 31 are fixedly connected to the chain links on the chain 5, thereby achieving the sliding displacement of the two worktables. This chain drive method ensures smooth and accurate movement of the worktables and can withstand large loads, making it suitable for the welding requirements of large-sized steel plates in the manufacture of transport vehicles.

[0039] More specifically, the supporting components include a guide plate 25 and a fixing plate 26. The guide plate 25 and the fixing plate 26 are both fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the mounting frame 1, and the guide plate 25 and the fixing plate 26 are arranged in parallel. The fixing plate 26 is provided with a sliding groove, which consists of a horizontal section and two inclined sections. The two ends of the horizontal section are respectively connected to the two inclined sections.

[0040] More specifically, the supporting components also include a movable stage 28, which is laid on the guide plate 25 and the fixed plate 26, and is slidably connected to the guide plate 25 and the fixed plate 26 along the length direction. A plurality of third sliding rods 30 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the second worktable 31, each of which passes through the movable stage 28 and is slidably connected to the movable stage 28 longitudinally. A sliding shaft 27 is fixedly installed at the lower end of one of the third sliding rods 30, and the sliding shaft 27 is inserted into a groove in the fixed plate 26 and the two are slidably connected. A second connecting plate 29 is installed at the end of the movable stage 28, and the second connecting plate 29 is fixedly installed to a link on the chain 5 in a drive assembly.

[0041] The movable table 28 is fixedly connected to the chain links on the chain 5 via the second connecting plate 29. When the chain 5 moves, it can drive the movable table 28 to move via the second connecting plate 29. This chain drive method can ensure that the movement of the worktable is smooth and accurate, and can withstand a large load, making it suitable for the welding needs of large-sized steel plates in the manufacturing of transport vehicles.

[0042] The moving table 28 slides along its length under the guidance of the guide plate 25 and the fixed plate 26. The sliding shaft 27 slides within a groove in the fixed plate 26. When the sliding shaft 27 slides on the ramp section, it drives the second worktable 31 and the third sliding rod 30 to slide downwards on the moving table 28, thus lowering the height of the second worktable 31 below the first worktable 7, preventing collisions when the two worktables exchange positions. When the sliding shaft 27 slides to the horizontal section, the height of the second worktable 31 matches that of the first worktable 7, completing the position exchange. This structural design not only achieves smooth movement of the worktables but also solves the problem of worktable height adjustment through the ingenious design of the groove, improving the flexibility and reliability of the device.

[0043] Specifically, the first workbench 7 is slidably mounted on the mounting frame 1, and a first connecting plate 8 is mounted on the end of the first workbench 7. The first connecting plate 8 is fixedly mounted to a link on the chain 5 in a drive assembly.

[0044] The first worktable 7 is fixedly connected to the chain links on the chain 5 via the first connecting plate 8, thereby enabling the sliding displacement of the first worktable 7. This chain drive method ensures smooth and accurate movement of the worktable and can withstand large loads, making it suitable for welding large-sized steel plates in the manufacturing of transport vehicles.

[0045] Specifically, a first rack 24 is fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting frame 1. During the movement of the fixed component by the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31, the first rack 24 is connected to the fixed component in a transmission manner.

[0046] More specifically, the fixing components include a clamping assembly and a pressing assembly. The clamping assembly includes a first threaded rod 10, a first gear 9, and two movable plates 11. Both movable plates 11 are slidably mounted on the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31. The first threaded rod 10 is rotatably mounted on the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31, passing through both movable plates 11 and being threadedly connected to each of the two movable plates 11. After the first threaded rod 10 rotates, it drives the two movable plates 11 to move closer or further apart from each other. The first gear 9 is fitted onto the outer wall of one end of the first threaded rod 10, and the two are fixedly installed. During the sliding displacement of the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31, the first gear 9 is driven to move laterally. During the lateral movement, the first gear 9 meshes with and rotates with the first rack 24.

[0047] The pressing assembly includes an L-shaped rod 20, the lower part of which passes through the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31, and the L-shaped rod 20 is longitudinally slidably connected to the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31. The moving plate 11 is drivenly connected to the L-shaped rod 20. When the two moving plates 11 approach each other, the moving plate 11 pushes the L-shaped rod 20 to slide downward.

[0048] The first threaded rod 10 rotates via the first gear 9. The two movable plates 11 clamp or release the steel plate.

[0049] When the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31 slides, the first gear 9 meshes with the first rack 24, driving the first threaded rod 10 to rotate. The rotation of the first threaded rod 10 drives the two moving plates 11 to move closer or further apart, thereby clamping or releasing the steel plate. At the same time, the movement of the moving plates 11 pushes the L-shaped rod 20 to slide downwards, pressing the steel plate firmly. This linkage mechanism of clamping and pressing not only ensures the stability of the steel plate during the welding process but also automatically adjusts the clamping force according to the thickness and shape of the steel plate, improving the welding quality.

[0050] More specifically, the clamping assembly also includes a first spring 13, a clamping plate 14, and a plurality of first sliding rods 12. The first sliding rods 12 are slidably mounted on the moving plate 11, one end of the first sliding rod 12 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 14, and the first spring 13 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the first sliding rod 12. The two ends of the first spring 13 abut against the moving plate 11 and the clamping plate 14 respectively.

[0051] Among them, the first spring 13, the clamping plate 14, and the multiple first sliding rods 12 play the role of buffering and increasing the clamping force, making the clamping more stable and reliable.

[0052] The pressing assembly also includes a connecting rod 18, a pressure plate 21, a second sliding rod 22, a third spring 23, a guide rod 15, a first moving block 16, and a second spring 17. The guide rod 15 is fixedly installed on the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31, and the first moving block 16 is slidably installed on the first worktable 7 or the second worktable 31. The guide rod 15 passes through the first moving block 16 and the moving plate 11 respectively, and is slidably connected to the first moving block 16 and the moving plate 11 respectively. The two ends of the connecting rod 18 are hinged to the lower ends of the first moving block 16 and the L-shaped rod 20 respectively. The second spring 17 is sleeved on the outer wall of the guide rod 15, and one end of it abuts against the first moving block 16. The first moving block 16 and the connecting rod 18 are hinged through a second rotating shaft 19.

[0053] The second sliding rod 22 is longitudinally slidably installed on the upper end of the L-shaped rod 20, and the lower end of the second sliding rod 22 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 21. The third spring 23 is sleeved on the outer side wall of the second sliding rod 22.

[0054] The guide rod 15 guides the sliding of the first moving block 16 and the moving plate 11, ensuring they can move smoothly and accurately along a predetermined track, thus improving the operational accuracy and reliability of the clamping and pressing components. When the moving plate 11 pushes the first moving block 16 along the guide rod 15, the first moving block 16 slides on the guide rod 15 and, through the connecting rod 18, drives the L-shaped rod 20 to descend further, realizing the action of the pressing component. Simultaneously, the second spring 17 acts as a buffer and increases the clamping force. The shape and size of the pressure plate 21 can be designed according to the characteristics of the steel plate to ensure the stability and reliability of the clamping. During the clamping process, the pressure plate 21 moves downward under the drive of the L-shaped rod 20, and the elastic action of the third spring 23 increases the clamping force, ensuring the stability of the steel plate during the welding process.

[0055] In use, step one: Place the two steel plates to be welded on the first workbench 7 and the second workbench 31 respectively, ensuring that the edge of the steel plate to be welded is directly below the pressure plate 21. This operation prepares for the subsequent welding operation, ensuring the steel plates are accurately positioned for easy clamping and welding.

[0056] The first motor 2 is started to provide power for the operation of the entire device. After the first motor 2 is started, the output shaft of the first motor 2 drives the sprocket 4 to rotate. The rotation of the sprocket 4 further drives the chain 5 to move, providing power support for the subsequent movement of the worktable and the clamping of the steel plate.

[0057] Step 2: Moving the first worktable 7.

[0058] Chain 5 drives the first worktable 7 to move towards the fixed frame 40 via the first connecting plate 8. During the movement, the first gear 9 meshes with the first rack 24, causing the first threaded rod 10 to rotate. This process enables precise movement of the first worktable 7, preparing it for clamping and welding of the steel plate.

[0059] The rotation of the first threaded rod 10 drives the two moving plates 11 to move closer to each other. The moving plates 11 push the clamping plate 14 towards the steel plate, thus clamping the steel plate. At the same time, the moving plates 11 slide on the first sliding rod 12, compressing the first spring 13 and increasing the clamping force. This process, through the automatic action of the clamping assembly, firmly fixes the steel plate on the worktable, preventing displacement during welding.

[0060] The movable plate 11 continues to move, pushing the first movable block 16 to slide along the guide rod 15. The first movable block 16 drives the L-shaped rod 20 to slide downwards via the connecting rod 18. The L-shaped rod 20 pushes the pressure plate 21 downwards, pressing the steel plate tightly. After the pressure plate 21 presses the steel plate tightly, the L-shaped rod 20 slides on the second sliding rod 22, compressing the third spring 23 and further increasing the pressing force. This process, through the action of the pressing assembly, ensures the stability of the steel plate during the welding process and avoids welding quality problems caused by steel plate displacement.

[0061] After the pressure plate 21 presses the steel plate tightly, the first gear 9 disengages from the first rack 24, completing the clamping action of the first worktable 7. At this time, the steel plate is firmly fixed on the first worktable 7, providing stable conditions for subsequent welding operations.

[0062] Step 3: Moving the second worktable 31.

[0063] Chain 5 drives the moving table 28 to move toward the side of the first motor 2 via the second connecting plate 29. The movement of the moving table 28 causes the second worktable 31 to move synchronously, moving the second worktable 31 out of the welding position and providing space for removing the welded steel plate.

[0064] The sliding shaft 27 slides within the inclined section of the sloping groove of the fixed plate 26, causing the second worktable 31 and the third sliding rod 30 to slide downwards on the moving platform 28, thus lowering the height of the second worktable 31. This process avoids collisions between the second worktable 31 and the first worktable 7 when they exchange positions, ensuring the smooth alternation of the worktables.

[0065] When the sliding shaft 27 slides into the straight groove portion of the fixed plate 26, the height of the second worktable 31 gradually returns to the same horizontal position as the first worktable 7. This process ensures that the two worktables maintain the same height when moving alternately, facilitating subsequent welding operations.

[0066] The second workbench 31 moves to the side of the first motor 2, completing the alternating movement of the two workbenches. At this time, the first workbench 7 is directly below the welding torch 38, ready for welding operations; while the second workbench 31 is in standby mode, waiting to place a new steel plate to be welded. This process achieves continuity in the welding process and improves welding efficiency.

[0067] Step 4: Welding operation.

[0068] Turning off the first motor 2 stops the movement of the worktable. This operation ensures that the worktable remains stationary during the welding process, providing stable conditions for the welding operation and improving welding accuracy.

[0069] The servo electric cylinder 39 is activated, causing the fixed frame 34 to move downwards, bringing the welding torch 38 closer to the welding position on the steel plate. Simultaneously, the second motor 35 is activated, driving the second threaded rod 36 to rotate, causing the second moving block 37 to slide laterally within the fixed frame 34. The movement of the second moving block 37 causes the welding torch 38 to move laterally, performing the welding operation. This process, through the multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment of the welding torch 38, achieves precise welding of the steel plate, improving welding quality and efficiency.

[0070] After the welding torch 38 completes welding, the servo electric cylinder 39 and the second motor 35 are turned off, and the welding torch 38 returns to its initial position. At this point, one welding operation is completed, and the welded steel plate is firmly fixed on the first worktable 7, awaiting subsequent removal operations.
