Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding technology, and more specifically to an automated steel cabinet welding device that avoids relative displacement of sheet metal. Background Technology

[0002] Steel cabinets are made from metal sheets through processes such as cutting, bending, and welding. Due to their lightweight and high strength, they offer significant advantages for storing documents. The manufacturing process involves welding and assembling the metal sheets into a single unit.

[0003] Currently, when producing steel cabinets, the assembly table requires placing the sheet metal onto the assembly table for welding and installation. During the assembly of the steel cabinets, the operators need to frequently flip the cabinets and move other parts, which increases the intensity of manual labor and makes it inconvenient to fix the sheet metal or makes the relative position of the sheet metal easily shift. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome at least one of the defects of the prior art and provide an automated steel cabinet welding device that avoids the relative positional displacement of plates.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] An automated steel cabinet welding device for preventing relative displacement of sheet metal, comprising:

[0007] Base plate;

[0008] Support columns are installed on the upper surface of the base plate;

[0009] A horizontal plate placement seat, wherein a connecting rod is provided on one side of the horizontal plate placement seat, the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the support column, and first support pads are provided on both sides of the horizontal plate placement seat;

[0010] A vertical plate limiting seat is sleeved on the connecting rod and surrounds the outside of the horizontal plate placement seat. The side of the vertical plate limiting seat is provided with multiple electric push rods, and a second support pad is provided on the side of the electric push rod near the first support pad.

[0011] The welding mechanism includes a pair of sliding frames disposed on the upper surface of the base plate, a sliding seat whose two ends are slidably connected to the pair of sliding frames, and a welding torch assembly slidably connected to the sliding seat.

[0012] Furthermore, the front side of the horizontal plate placement seat is provided with multiple negative pressure air passages.

[0013] Furthermore, multiple negative pressure airway arrays are distributed on the front side of the horizontal plate placement seat.

[0014] Furthermore, the device is also equipped with a vacuum generator, and multiple negative pressure air channels are connected to the vacuum generator through pipelines.

[0015] Furthermore, the welding device is also equipped with a rotary motor, which drives the connecting rod to rotate.

[0016] Furthermore, limit blocks are provided on the upper and lower surfaces of the horizontal plate placement seat.

[0017] Furthermore, the sliding frame includes a pair of uprights mounted on the base plate and slide rails with both ends mounted on the pair of uprights.

[0018] Furthermore, the welding torch assembly includes a linear drive element slidably connected to the slide rail, and a welding torch disposed at the output end of the linear drive element.

[0019] Furthermore, the support column is provided with a reinforcing rib on the side near the vertical plate limiting seat.

[0020] Furthermore, the reinforcing ribs are multiple and equally spaced between the base plate and the support column.

[0021] Compared with existing technologies, this invention provides an automated steel cabinet welding device that avoids relative displacement of plates. The device places a horizontal plate on the upper surface of a horizontal plate placement seat, clamps two vertical plates using first and second support pads, and simultaneously adjusts the position of the vertical plates using an electric push rod to align them with the horizontal plates. After the horizontal plates and the two vertical plates on both sides are welded, the connecting rod rotates 180° to place another horizontal plate on the upper surface of the horizontal plate placement seat. After welding, a robotic arm moves a third vertical plate to the front of the horizontal plate placement seat. The horizontal plate placement seat holds the vertical plates through a negative pressure air passage, and then the connecting rod rotates 90° sequentially until welding is completed around the perimeter using a welding torch. This device not only makes welding more convenient and labor-saving but also prevents the steel plates from shaking or shifting, which would affect the welding effect. Attached Figure Description
