During processing, the tubular parts are placed into the bottom components on both sides. The installation mechanism includes a main body, a gear ring, and an adjusting gear. The welding device is connected to the inside of the gear ring through a telescopic component, so that the welding device can be driven to rotate relative to the tubular parts by adjusting the gear and the gear ring to complete the annular welding operation of the tubular parts.

[0004] However, when the above-mentioned device is in operation, the length increases when the two pipes are welded into a whole pipe.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. 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.

[0024] Example 1

[0025] Please refer to the accompanying drawings. This invention provides an apparatus for welding metal parts, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, it includes a base 100 and a welding mechanism mounted on the top center of the base 100, characterized in that: A horizontal support platform 101 is provided in the middle of the rear side of the base 100, and a mounting bracket is provided in the middle of the top of the base 100. The welding mechanism includes a welding worktable 200 and a welding assembly 300. The welding worktable 200 is configured as a transverse U-shape, and the U-shaped opening end of the welding worktable 200 faces the front side of the device. The welding worktable 200 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame, and the welding assembly 300 is disposed on the top of the welding worktable 200. The device also includes: The pipe end limiting mechanism 400 is provided in two symmetrically and is installed on the left and right sides of the welding workbench 200 respectively. It includes a lower support part and an upper limit part, and the lower support part and the upper limit part are located at the bottom and top of the welding workbench 200 respectively. The outer end limiting mechanism 500 of the tube is provided in two symmetrically, and the bottom ends are respectively connected to the top two sides of the base 100 through the moving components. It includes a tube bottom supporting part and a tube end limiting part, and the tube end limiting part is located outside the tube bottom supporting part. Two rotating feeding mechanisms 600 are symmetrically arranged and located on the top of the support platform 101. The rotating feeding mechanism 600 includes a rotating part and a telescopic part. The inner ends of the rotating feeding mechanism 600 are located below the two sides of the welding workbench 200 and are rotatably connected to the top of the base 100. A rotary drive assembly 700 is located below the welding workbench 200 and is connected to the inner ends of the two rotary feeding mechanisms 600. When the tubular workpiece is on the rotating feeding mechanism 600, it can move along the length direction. When it is on the outer end limiting mechanism 500 and the inner end limiting mechanism 400, it can rotate around the central axis. This multi-functional motion compatibility design enables the device to adapt to the rapid alignment of pipes of different lengths and meet the dynamic requirements of rotary welding. It has a compact structure and high functional integration.

[0026] During the pipe fitting feeding stage, such as Figure 1 As shown, two rotating feeding mechanisms 600 are located parallel to each other on the rear side of the base 100, and rotate the two pipe fittings to be welded onto the corresponding rotating feeding mechanism 600 by feeding equipment or manual operation, with the two ends of the pipe fittings suspended. Then, the rotation drive assembly 700 is started, causing the two rotation feeding mechanisms 600 and the pipe fittings on them to rotate simultaneously toward the base 100 until they are above the base 100, thus achieving synchronous rotation feeding of the two pipe fittings to be welded. At this time, the inner end of the pipe fitting is located between the upper limit part and the lower support part of the inner end limiting mechanism 400, and the outer end is located above the bottom support part of the outer end limiting mechanism 500 and inside the end limiting part.

[0027] Activate the pipe end limiting part to make it contact the outer end of the pipe, and push the pipe fitting towards the welding mechanism until the inner ends of the two pipe fittings contact and are located in the middle of the inner side of the welding workbench 200. Start the pipe bottom lifting part and the lower support part, so that they contact the bottom sides of the pipe fitting and lift the pipe fitting up, disengaging it from the rotating feeding mechanism 600, so that the rotating feeding mechanism 600 can rotate outward to return to its original position, so that the feeding operation can continue. At the same time, the upper limit position moves down to contact the top of the pipe fitting, limiting the position of the pipe fitting and improving its positional stability during processing.

[0028] The above structure and its operation ensure that the pipe fitting is fixed in position and does not shift during the welding process, and can adapt to pipe fittings of different diameters, with high positioning accuracy and strong clamping reliability.

[0029] After the pipe fittings are supported and positioned, the bottom support unit drives the pipe fittings to rotate around their central axis so that the circumferential welds on the inner ends of the two pipe fittings can be continuously and uniformly welded by the welding mechanism. This avoids the tedious operation of clamping or manually flipping the pipe fittings multiple times in traditional welding, resulting in good weld quality consistency and high processing efficiency.

[0030] After welding is completed, the inner end limiting mechanism 400 and the outer end limiting mechanism 500 return to their original positions. The pipe end between the outer end limiting mechanism 500 and the welding mechanism is lifted, transferred, and unloaded by external devices or manual operation. The U-shaped welding worktable 200 makes the unloading operation of the pipe fittings more convenient. At the same time, the loading mechanism 600 is rotated to perform the loading operation again, making the loading and unloading operation of the pipe fittings faster and more convenient, shortening the loading and unloading auxiliary time, realizing continuous production, and improving the efficiency of welding operations.

[0031] During the welding process, the rotating feeding mechanism 600 has returned to its original position to the outside, allowing for independent preparation of the next set of pipe fittings. Furthermore, the rotating feeding mechanism 600 is located behind the base 100, separating it from the welding area during feeding, thus avoiding direct contact between the operator and the welding mechanism or the high-temperature weld.

[0032] The device of this invention enables rapid material loading, precise alignment, stable clamping, continuous rotary welding, finished product unloading, and new material preparation for pipe welding, significantly improving the efficiency, accuracy, and ease of operation of welding processing, and is especially suitable for industrial production scenarios involving batch butt welding of pipe fittings.

[0033] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the upper limit part includes an extension platform 401 fixed on both sides of the upper part of the welding workbench 200. A first lifting plate 403 is connected to the lower part of each extension platform 401 by two vertical and symmetrical first hydraulic rods 402. Two limit wheels 404 are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to the bottom of the first lifting plate 403. like Figure 5 As shown, the lower support includes a second lifting plate 405 located below the first lifting plate 403. The bottom of the second lifting plate 405 is connected to the mounting frame via a second hydraulic rod 407, and two first support wheels 406 are symmetrically arranged and rotatably connected to the top of the second lifting plate 405.

[0034] After the pipe is rotated above the base 100 and its axial position is adjusted, the pipe is positioned between the first lifting plate 403 and the second lifting plate 405. Then, the second lifting plate 405 moves upward under the drive of the second hydraulic rod 407, so that the two first support wheels 406 contact the bottom sides of the pipe and cooperate with the pipe bottom support part to lift it up and disengage it from the rotating feeding mechanism 600. Then, the first lifting plate 403 moves downward under the drive of the first hydraulic rod 402, so that the two limit wheels 404 contact the top sides of the pipe. This achieves symmetrical four-point contact limiting and support of the top and bottom sides of the pipe. It can not only automatically adapt to pipes of different diameters without replacing parts, but also allows the limit wheels 404 and the first support wheels 406 to rotate, ensuring that the pipe is stably clamped while allowing the pipe to rotate freely around its own axis.

[0035] Among them, such as Figure 9 As shown, the tube bottom support includes a movable base plate 501 fixed to the top of the movable component. A third lifting plate 508 is connected above the movable base plate 501 via a third hydraulic rod 507. The top of the third lifting plate 508 has symmetrical and parallel second support wheels 506 on the left and right sides. The middle of the second support wheel 506 has an annular groove. The middle of the third lifting plate 508 has a rectangular through groove. Gear seats are symmetrically fixed on both sides of the rectangular through groove. A drive structure is provided between the two gear seats, and the two ends of the drive structure are connected to the annular grooves of the two second support wheels 506. The pipe end limiting part includes two symmetrical and vertically fixed fixed shafts 502 on the outer side of the top of the movable base plate 501. The lower part of the fixed shaft 502 is fixed with an annular boss, and the upper part is slidably connected with a sliding seat 503. A spring is connected between the sliding seat 503 and the annular boss, and a vertical sliding plate 504 is fixed between the two sliding seats 503. A limiting plate 505 is provided on the side of the sliding plate 504 near the welding mechanism, and the limiting plate 505 is connected to the sliding plate 504 through a hydraulic telescopic rod.

[0036] When the pipe moves above the base 100, the outer end of the pipe is located above the middle of the third lifting plate 508. Then the moving component is activated, which drives the moving base plate 501 and its upper structure to move towards the welding mechanism until the limiting plate 505 contacts the outer end of the pipe and pushes the pipe to move towards the welding mechanism. Through the limiting plates 505 on both sides of the base 100, the two pipes move inward at the same time until the inner ends of the two pipes contact and are located below the welding mechanism, thereby achieving precise docking and centering of the inner ends of the two pipes. The third hydraulic rod 507 of the pipe bottom support unit drives the second support wheel 506 to move upward and contact the bottom of the pipe, and cooperates with the lower support part of the pipe inner end limiting mechanism 400 to lift the pipe and disengage it from the rotating feeding mechanism 600, so that the rotating feeding mechanism 600 can rotate outward to return to its original position for subsequent feeding operations.

[0037] During the upward movement of the pipe fitting, since the end of the pipe fitting is in close contact with the limiting plate 505, the limiting plate 505 moves vertically and automatically adjusts its position by cooperating with the fixed shaft 502, spring, sliding seat 503 and sliding plate 504.

[0038] When the pipe fitting needs to complete the limiting operation, the hydraulic telescopic rod drives the limiting plate 505 to move away from the pipe end, avoiding resistance to the subsequent rotation of the pipe fitting. When the pipe fitting needs to be rotated, the two second support wheels 506 are driven to rotate simultaneously through the drive structure. Through the friction between the second support wheels 506 and the pipe fitting, the pipe fitting is driven to rotate so that the inner end of the pipe can be welded along the circumferential direction.

[0039] The second support wheel 506 can be equipped with a rubber sleeve or other structure to increase the contact friction with the pipe and improve driving stability.

[0040] The entire mechanism integrates axial pushing, vertical lifting, adaptive following, and rotary drive, which not only ensures accurate alignment and stable support before pipe welding, but also realizes interference-free active rotary welding, improving welding quality and efficiency.

[0041] Among them, such as Figure 13 As shown, the rotating part includes a vertical rotating cylinder 602 rotatably connected to the mounting frame. The rotating cylinder 602 is correspondingly connected to the rotating drive assembly 700. A rotating base plate 601 is fixed to the bottom of the rotating cylinder 602. An L-shaped fixing frame 603 is fixed between the top inner section of the rotating base plate 601 and the upper part of the rotating cylinder 602. Multiple conveying wheels 609 are evenly arranged and rotatably connected to the top of the fixing frame 603, and a V-shaped groove is provided around the middle of the conveying wheel 609. The telescopic part includes an adjusting base plate 606 that is slidably connected to the top of the rotating base plate 601. The adjusting base plate 606 is located outside the fixed frame 603 and is correspondingly connected to the fixed frame 603 through an adjusting component. The top of the adjusting base plate 606 is fixed to a conveying groove 604 by a plurality of evenly arranged support frames 605. A plurality of conveying wheels 609 are evenly arranged and rotatably connected in the conveying groove 604, and the height position and structure of the conveying wheels 609 of the telescopic part and the rotating part are the same.

[0042] During loading, two rotating loading mechanisms 600 are positioned parallel to each other on the rear side of the base 100 and on the support platform 101. Pipes are placed onto multiple conveyor wheels 609 via external devices or manually. The middle part of the pipe is located on the conveyor wheels 609 of the rotating and telescopic parts, with the inner and outer ends suspended. The conveyor wheels 609 are provided with V-grooves, which can automatically center and stably support pipes of different diameters. Through rotation, the pipe moves to above the base 100, with the inner end located in the inner end limiting mechanism 400 and the outer end located above the outer end limiting mechanism 500, so as to facilitate subsequent operations.

[0043] When it is necessary to adjust the support position of the conveyor wheel 609 on the pipe according to the pipe length, the adjustment assembly causes the adjustment base plate 606 to drive the conveyor groove 604 and the conveyor wheel 609 to move outward or inward relative to the rotating base plate 601. Since the equipment of this application is mainly for pipes with longer lengths, while keeping both ends suspended, the support length range can be increased or decreased according to the pipe length, and the support length can be kept at the maximum value within a suitable range. This avoids bending deformation or shaking caused by excessive pipe length, and ensures that the inner and outer ends can smoothly enter the inner end limiting mechanism 400 and the outer end limiting mechanism 500, thus achieving flexible adaptation and stable support for pipes of different lengths.

[0044] Among them, such as Figure 14 As shown, the rotation drive assembly 700 includes a gear ring 705 fixed to the lower part of the rotating cylinder 602. A horizontal rack 704 meshes on the gear ring 705. The two racks 704 are symmetrical and parallel, and a drive plate 703 is fixed to one end. A hydraulic mounting seat 701 is fixed on the top of the base 100 corresponding to the rear side of the drive plate 703. The hydraulic mounting seat 701 and the drive plate 703 are connected by a drive hydraulic rod 702. The drive hydraulic rod 702 causes the drive plate 703 and the rack 704 to move in the front-back direction, thereby driving the gear ring 705 and the rotating cylinder 602 to rotate, realizing the rotation loading operation of the pipes on both sides.

[0045] Example 2

[0046] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that the moving component includes a moving seat 510 fixed to the middle of the bottom of the moving base plate 501. The moving seat 510 is located in the moving groove 102 on the corresponding side of the base 100. Two first screws 103 are symmetrically arranged and threadedly connected on both sides of the moving seat 510. The two ends of the first screws 103 are rotatably connected to the moving groove 102. A driving structure is connected to the first screws 103 near the outer end of the moving groove 102. The two first screws 103 are rotated simultaneously by the driving structure, thereby driving the moving seat 510 and the moving base plate 501 to move in the left and right direction along the base 100, so as to realize the position adjustment of the tube outer end limiting mechanism 500.

[0047] The adjustment assembly includes two limiting slide rails 607 symmetrically fixed to the top of the rotating base plate 601. The two sides of the adjustment base plate 606 are slidably connected to the corresponding limiting slide rails 607. Two second screws 608 are symmetrically arranged and threadedly connected to the two sides of the adjustment base plate 606. The inner end of the second screw 608 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 603 and connected to a drive structure. The drive structure causes the two second screws 608 to rotate simultaneously, thereby driving the adjustment base plate 606 to move along the limiting slide rails 607, realizing the telescopic adjustment of the adjustment base plate 606 and the conveying groove 604 and other structures thereon.

[0048] Example 3

[0049] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of embodiment two. The difference is that the drive structure includes a drive gear 800 located in the middle. One end of the drive gear 800 is connected to a motor. Two first transmission gears 801 are symmetrically meshed on both sides of the drive gear 800, and a second transmission gear 802 is meshed on the outer side of each first transmission gear 801. At the mobile component, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second transmission gear 802 of the drive structure is fixedly connected to the end of the first screw 103, and the first transmission gear 801 and the drive gear 800 are rotatably connected to the base 100, and the motor is fixed to the top of the base 100. At the adjustment component, such as Figure 12 As shown, the second transmission gear 802 of the drive structure is fixedly connected to the end of the second screw 608, and the first transmission gear 801 and the drive gear 800 are rotatably connected to the fixed frame 603, and the motor is fixed on the fixed frame 603. At the 500-point limit mechanism at the outer end of the pipe, such as Figure 11 As shown, the second transmission gear 802 of the drive structure is fixedly connected to the middle of the second support wheel 506, and the first transmission gear 801 and the drive gear 800 are rotatably connected to the third lifting plate 508, with the motor fixed to the bottom of the third lifting plate 508.

[0050] When drive is needed, the motor starts, the drive gear 800 rotates accordingly, and then through the transmission of the first transmission gear 801 and the second transmission gear 802, the corresponding structure rotates, thereby realizing position adjustment or pipe drive.

[0051] Example 4

[0052] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that, as Figure 8 As shown, the welding assembly 300 includes two vertical welding adjustment hydraulic rods 301 symmetrically fixed on the left and right sides of the top of the welding workbench 200. The bottom ends of the two welding adjustment hydraulic rods 301 extend into the inner side of the welding workbench 200 and are jointly fixed to a welding adjustment plate 303. A welding machine 302 and a welding torch head 304 are provided in the middle of the welding adjustment plate 303. Vertical fixed spring cylinders 305 are symmetrically provided on the front and rear sides of the bottom. A telescopic seat 306 is slidably connected in the fixed spring cylinder 305. An inclined cleaning plate 307 is fixed at the bottom end of the telescopic seat 306, and the cleaning plates 307 on both sides are symmetrically inclined inward. The top of the telescopic seat 306 is connected to the top of the fixed spring cylinder 305 through a spring. A third electromagnet 308 is fixed at a relative position on the top of the telescopic seat 306 and the fixed spring cylinder 305, respectively. The third electromagnet 308 is electrically connected to a power source and a switch.

[0053] Before welding begins, the height of the welding adjustment plate 303 is adjusted by the welding adjustment hydraulic rod 301 so that the cleaning plates 307 on both sides simultaneously contact the top sides of the pipe fitting, while the welding gun head 304 does not contact the top of the pipe fitting. Then the pipe fitting is rotated, and the cleaning plates 307 clean the welding positions at the inner ends of the two pipe fittings to remove oxide scale or oil stains, thereby improving the subsequent welding quality. The spring adapts to different pipe diameters to avoid rigid scratches. When the welding work begins, the third electromagnet 308 is energized and attracted to the cleaning plate 307 and fixed in place, thereby causing the telescopic seat 306 to move the cleaning plate 307 upward and disengage it from the top of the pipe fitting. The height position of the welding adjustment plate 303 is adjusted so that the welding gun head 304 contacts the inner ends of the two pipe fittings and performs welding. The welding position is switched by driving the pipe fitting to complete the circumferential welding of the pipe ends.

[0054] Example 5

[0055] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1, except that, as Figure 7 As shown, the lower part of the welding workbench 200 is provided with a cold water tank 201, the opening of the cold water tank 201 faces upward, and a baffle plate 204 is provided inside. The rear end of the welding workbench 200 is provided with a ventilation cavity, and ventilation holes 205 are evenly distributed on the front side wall of the ventilation cavity. An exhaust fan 202 is connected to the rear side, and an exhaust pipe 203 is connected to the bottom of the exhaust fan 202. One end of the exhaust pipe 203 extends into the cold water tank 201.

[0056] The welding workbench 200 of the present invention significantly improves the welding working environment and the quality of pipe welds by integrating fume extraction and cooling functions; During the welding process, the welding fumes are transported to the cold water tank 201 through the exhaust fan 202 and exhaust pipe 203. The cold water in the tank adsorbs, removes dust and cools the fumes, effectively reducing the spread of harmful fumes, protecting the health of operators and meeting environmental protection requirements. Then, the cooling airflow rises and contacts the bottom of the pipe fitting, so that when the top of the pipe fitting is welded and the welding position is rotated to the bottom of the pipe fitting, it is cooled in time by the rising airflow. This helps to refine the weld grains, reduce deformation and residual stress in the heat-affected zone, and improve the mechanical properties and appearance quality of the weld.

[0057] Among them, the baffle plate 204 can intercept welding slag or impurities to prevent blockage of the exhaust pipe 203.

[0058] Example 6

[0059] The structure of this embodiment is basically the same as that of Embodiment 1. The difference is that the bottom of the first lifting plate 403 is provided with an upper detection structure, and the top middle of the third lifting plate 508 is provided with a lower detection structure.

[0060] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the upper detection structure includes an upper contact plate 409 located in the middle below the first lifting plate 403. A position sensor is provided on the upper contact plate 409. Two vertical upper spring shafts 408 are symmetrically fixed to the top of the upper contact plate 409, and the top ends of the upper spring shafts 408 extend out of the first lifting plate 403. The top two sides of the upper contact plate 409 are connected to the first lifting plate 403 by springs. A first electromagnet 410 is fixed at the top middle of the upper contact plate 409 and at a relative position on the first lifting plate 403. The first electromagnet 410 is electrically connected to a power source and a switch.

[0061] When the pipe is positioned between the two first support wheels 406 and the two limit wheels 404, the upper contact plate 409 contacts the top of the pipe under the action of the spring. The height position of the top of the pipe is detected by the position sensor so that it can be matched with the detection results of the lower detection structure to calculate the actual outer diameter of the pipe and its center coordinates in the height direction. During the processing of the pipe, the upper contact plate 409 is disengaged from the top of the pipe by the attraction and contact fixation of the first electromagnet 410, so as to avoid interference with the pipe.

[0062] Among them, such as Figure 10As shown, the lower detection structure includes a shaft hole located in the middle of the top of the two gear seats. A vertical lower spring shaft 511 is slidably connected in the shaft hole. A lower contact plate 509 is fixed to the top of the two lower spring shafts 511. A position sensor is provided on the lower contact plate 509. Springs are connected between the bottom sides of the lower contact plate 509 and the gear seats. A second electromagnet is fixed to the bottom of the lower spring shaft 511 and the bottom of the shaft hole, respectively. The second electromagnet is electrically connected to a power source and a switch.

[0063] When the pipe fitting is placed on the two second support wheels 506, the top surface of the lower contact plate 509 contacts the bottom center of the pipe fitting through the action of a spring. This allows the position sensor to measure the height of the bottom of the pipe fitting, which, in conjunction with the detection results of the upper detection structure, calculates the actual outer diameter of the pipe fitting and its center coordinates in the height direction. This provides a reliable basis for the precise position adjustment of the pre-welding limit wheel 404 and the first support wheel 406, as well as the alignment of the welding torch head 304, thus realizing online automatic identification and adaptive control of the pipe fitting specifications. During pipe fitting processing, the lower contact plate 509 moves downward and disengages from the bottom of the pipe fitting through the energization and contact fixation of the second electromagnet.
