Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding robot technology, and more specifically, to a self-contained intelligent welding robot. Background Technology

[0002] The no-teach, no-programming welding robot is a highly intelligent automated welding device. By integrating 3D visual perception, AI algorithms, and process databases, the robot can autonomously understand the workpiece, plan the path, and complete the welding, just like a human. It completely eliminates the dependence on manual teaching and programming of traditional robots, making it particularly suitable for the flexible production needs of small batches, multiple varieties, and non-standard parts commonly found in today's manufacturing industry. It has a low operating threshold, stable welding quality, and can handle workpiece placement deviations and complex welds.

[0003] Because robots can autonomously determine the weld position and welding parameters through visual recognition technology and automatically complete the welding task according to a preset program, this method eliminates the need for human intervention, significantly reducing the labor intensity and technical requirements of operators, and improving production efficiency and product quality. Currently, the high level of intelligence in welding robots greatly facilitates manufacturing. However, the generation of welding slag is unavoidable during the welding process, and this also occurs during the operation of welding robots. Furthermore, welding robots are relatively ineffective at cleaning up spattered welding slag, and the accumulation of slag directly affects welding quality and reduces weld stability. Therefore, to address this problem, this application provides an embodied intelligent welding robot to meet the requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To overcome the aforementioned deficiencies of the prior art, embodiments of the present invention provide a unibody intelligent welding robot that uses a slag removal component to perform corresponding removal according to the type of welding slag, thereby comprehensively cleaning the welding slag and solving the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A unibody intelligent welding robot includes a slide rail, a drive base slidably connected to the inner side of the slide rail, a vertical beam fixedly connected to the top of the drive base, a horizontal beam fixedly connected to the top of the vertical beam, a robotic arm mounted at one end of the horizontal beam, a fixed connector mounted at the bottom of the robotic arm, a welding assembly fixedly connected to one end of the fixed connector, and a slag removal assembly mounted on one side of the fixed connector. The slag removal assembly consists of an air pipe assembly and a rubber sleeve assembly. The air pipe assembly includes a connecting block fixedly connected to one side of the fixed connector, a limit support frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block, and two movable air jets slidably connected inside the limit support frame, with the two movable air jets distributed on both sides of the welding assembly.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment, one end of each of the two movable jets is fixedly connected to a built-in air nozzle, a connecting frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the two movable jets, and an industrial camera is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a fixed limiting member is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting support frame, an adjusting screw is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed limiting member, a micro motor is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed limiting member, and the adjusting screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a movable limiting member is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable jet component, the movable limiting member is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw, a connecting plate is fixedly connected to the top of the movable jet component, and a rubber air tube is connected to one side of the connecting plate.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the sleeve assembly includes a side connecting seat fixedly connected to the outside of the movable jet component, a side shaft component rotatably connected to the inside of the side connecting seat, a connecting sleeve fixedly connected to the bottom of the side shaft component, and the connecting sleeve being configured in communication with the movable jet component.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, a pull rope is fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting sleeve, and the pull rope is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting support frame.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, a rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the inner side of the connecting sleeve, a drive blade is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rotating sleeve, and a plurality of built-in reinforcing members are fixedly connected to one side of the rotating sleeve.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, a rubber cleaning sleeve is fixedly connected to the outer side of the built-in reinforcing member, a plurality of metal protrusions are fixedly connected to the outer side of the rubber cleaning sleeve, a rubber guide is fixedly connected to the inner side of the rubber cleaning sleeve, and a plurality of vent holes are opened on the outer side of the rubber cleaning sleeve.

[0014] The technical effects and advantages of this invention are as follows:

[0015] 1. This invention, by setting up an air pipe assembly and controlling the rotation of the adjusting screw by starting a micro motor, adjusts the distance between the two movable air jets and the welding surface. This ensures that the movable air jets are positioned so that the ejected gas can act on the welding surface and effectively blow away and remove the welding slag. In actual use, the welding assembly can be started and the airflow from the movable air jets can be used alternately to avoid the airflow from the movable air jets affecting the welding quality. This ensures that there is no welding slag in the welding area of ​​the welding assembly, while avoiding direct blowing on the welding position to reduce the impact on the welding position. This can prevent the welding assembly from being affected by splashed welding slag during welding, thus reducing the welding quality.

[0016] 2. This invention, by setting up a rubber sleeve assembly, addresses the issue of welding slag adhering to the workpiece surface due to excessive heat. When this slag is difficult to clean by airflow alone, a micro-motor lowers the movable jet component to its lowest point. A taut rope pulls the connecting sleeve, causing it to flip until it connects with the movable jet component. The airflow within the movable jet component then drives the drive blades to rotate. This rotation causes multiple internal reinforcing members to move circumferentially, further rotating the rubber cleaning sleeve. By contacting the rubber cleaning sleeve with the adhered welding slag, multiple metal protrusions rub against the slag, lifting it off the workpiece surface and cleaning it. The airflow exits through multiple vents, directly blowing onto the workpiece surface, thus aiding in the cleaning of the welding slag. Attached Figure Description

[0024] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Refer to the instruction manual appendix Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides an intelligent welding robot, including a slide rail 1, a drive base 2 slidably connected to the inner side of the slide rail 1, a vertical beam 3 fixedly connected to the top of the drive base 2, a horizontal beam 4 fixedly connected to the top of the vertical beam 3, a robotic arm 5 provided at one end of the horizontal beam 4, a fixed connector 6 provided at the bottom of the robotic arm 5, a welding assembly 7 fixedly connected to one end of the fixed connector 6, and a slag removal assembly provided on one side of the fixed connector 6. The slag removal assembly consists of an air pipe assembly and a rubber sleeve assembly.

[0026] The air tube assembly includes a connecting block 8 fixedly connected to one side of the fixed connector 6. A limiting support frame 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 8. Two movable air jets 10 are slidably connected inside the limiting support frame 9. The two movable air jets 10 are distributed on both sides of the welding assembly 7. An internal air nozzle 11 is fixedly connected to one end of each of the two movable air jets 10. The internal air nozzle 11 has a funnel-shaped profile. A connecting frame 12 is fixedly connected to the outer sides of the two movable air jets 10, allowing the two movable air jets 10 to connect to each other and move synchronously. An industrial camera 30 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 12, enabling precise observation. The position of the welding slag is located to achieve complete removal of the welding slag. A fixed limiting component 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting support frame 9. An adjusting screw 14 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the fixed limiting component 13. A micro motor 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed limiting component 13. The adjusting screw 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the micro motor 15. A movable limiting component 16 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the movable jet component 10. The movable limiting component 16 and the adjusting screw 14 are threadedly connected. A connecting plate 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable jet component 10. A rubber air pipe 18 is connected to one side of the connecting plate 17. An air pump assembly is provided on the outer side of the robotic arm 5. The air pump assembly is connected to the rubber air pipe 18.

[0027] It should be noted that during the welding process of the welding robot, the air pump assembly is activated to deliver gas through the rubber air hose 18 to the two movable air jets 10. It is important to note that at this time, the connecting sleeve 21 is flipped to one side of the movable air jet 10 under the action of the torsion spring and is not connected to the movable air jet 10. The airflow can be directly blown out from inside the movable air jet 10 without passing through the rubber hose assembly. Figure 3 In order to use the rubber assembly, the micro motor 15 is activated to control the rotation of the adjusting screw 14, thereby adjusting the distance between the two movable air jets 10 and the welding surface, so that the movable air jets 10 are kept in a position where the ejected gas can act on the welding surface and effectively blow away and remove the welding slag.

[0028] In practical use, the welding assembly 7 can be used alternately to initiate welding and the airflow from the movable jet 10, thus avoiding the airflow from the movable jet 10 affecting the welding quality. The built-in nozzle 11 on the inner side of the end of the movable jet 10 can concentrate the airflow to ensure that the airflow is concentrated when it flows out of the movable jet 10, thereby increasing the blowing intensity of the airflow and ensuring the cleaning effect of the welding slag. The adjustable position of the movable jet 10 can avoid obstruction due to the workpiece contour during welding, ensuring that the cleaning of welding slag is not affected by the normal welding of the welding assembly 7. The movable jet 10 is oriented towards the welding direction of the welding assembly 7. Since the two movable jets 10 are located on both sides of the welding assembly 7 and do not directly face the welding area, it can ensure that there is no welding slag in the welding area of ​​the welding assembly 7, while not directly blowing on the welding position to reduce the impact on the welding position. This avoids the situation where the welding assembly 7 is affected by welding slag and the welding quality is reduced.

[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the rubber sleeve assembly includes a side connecting seat 19 fixedly connected to the outside of the movable jet member 10. A side shaft member 20 is rotatably connected to the inside of the side connecting seat 19. A torsion spring is provided between the side connecting seat 19 and the side shaft member 20. A connecting sleeve 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side shaft member 20. The connecting sleeve 21 is connected to the movable jet member 10 in a communicative manner. The inner diameter of the connecting sleeve 21 matches the inner diameter of the movable jet member 10. A pull rope 29 is fixedly connected to the outside of the connecting sleeve 21. The pull rope 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting support frame 9. A rotating sleeve 22 is rotatably connected to the inside of the connecting sleeve 21. The inner side of the rotating sleeve 22... A drive blade 23 is fixedly connected to the side of the rotating sleeve 22. Multiple built-in reinforcing members 24 are fixedly connected to one side of the sleeve. A rubber cleaning sleeve 25 is fixedly connected to the outside of the built-in reinforcing members 24 to increase the strength of the rubber cleaning sleeve 25. Multiple metal protrusions 26 are fixedly connected to the outside of the rubber cleaning sleeve 25 to increase the friction of the rubber cleaning sleeve 25. The metal protrusions 26 are L-shaped. A rubber guide 27 is fixedly connected to the inside of the rubber cleaning sleeve 25. The rubber guide 27 is tapered. Multiple vent holes 28 are opened on the outside of the rubber cleaning sleeve 25.

[0030] It should be noted that when some welding slag adheres to the workpiece surface due to excessive temperature, it is difficult to clean it by airflow. Instead, the micro motor 15 can be activated to lower the movable jet nozzle 10 to its lowest point. At this time, the pull rope 29 gradually tightens and pulls the connecting sleeve 21, causing it to flip. Simultaneously, the side shaft 20 rotates inside the side connecting seat 19, and the torsion spring contracts until the connecting sleeve 21 connects with the movable jet nozzle 10, i.e., as shown in the diagram. Figure 3In the state shown, by activating the air pump, the airflow from the movable jet 10 enters the connecting sleeve 21 and drives the drive blade 23 to rotate as it passes through it. The rotation of the drive blade 23 causes multiple built-in reinforcing members 24 to move in a circular motion, thereby causing the rubber cleaning sleeve 25 to rotate. At this time, the rubber cleaning sleeve 25 comes into contact with the adhered welding slag, and the welding slag is rubbed by multiple metal protrusions 26, thereby lifting the welding slag off the workpiece surface and cleaning the adhered welding slag. At the same time, as the airflow passes through the drive blade 23, it continues to come into contact with the rubber guide member 27. Under the guidance of the rubber guide member 27, the airflow moves to the outside of the rubber guide member 27 and finally flows out from multiple vent holes 28, thereby directly blowing on the workpiece surface and assisting in the cleaning of welding slag. The above method is suitable for the stage of cleaning the welding slag adhered to the workpiece surface after the workpiece has been welded, thereby ensuring the aesthetics of the workpiece, reducing the time spent on manual cleaning of welding slag, and improving cleaning efficiency.

[0031] When the movable jet 10 is raised, the pull rope 29 will gradually loosen from a taut state. At this time, the side connecting seat 19 and the side shaft 20 will be stretched by the torsion spring, causing the connecting sleeve 21 to flip, thereby separating the connecting sleeve 21 from the end of the movable jet 10. At this time, the state of cleaning the welding slag by the airflow ejected by the movable jet 10 is restored.

[0032] Finally, the following points should be noted: First, in the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise specified and limited, the terms "installation", "connection", and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly, and can be mechanical or electrical connections, or internal connections between two components, or direct connections.
