Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automotive parts processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a welding robot for automotive parts processing. Background Technology

[0002] Welding is one of the core processing steps in automotive parts manufacturing, especially for hollow structures such as tubular and cylindrical parts. These parts require circumferential welding of two workpieces, and the welding accuracy and workpiece positioning stability directly affect the processing quality and service life of the parts. Currently, existing automotive parts welding robots have many technical deficiencies in workpiece positioning and welding fit, making it difficult to meet the demands of high-precision welding. On the one hand, existing welding robots mostly use rigid clamps for workpiece positioning, which have poor adaptability and can only be used for clamping and positioning cylindrical automotive parts (such as straight exhaust pipes). They cannot be flexibly adjusted according to hollow welding workpieces of different specifications and shapes. Especially for tubular parts with many bends, such as automotive exhaust pipes, rigid clamps are difficult to fit against the inner wall of the bend for stable clamping during circumferential welding operations. This makes it difficult to clamp and fix the workpiece at the bend, and the workpiece is prone to rotation and displacement during the welding process, resulting in welding misalignment, uneven welds, and seriously affecting the processing quality. In addition, the clamping force of existing positioning mechanisms is difficult to control precisely, which can easily damage the inner wall of the welded workpiece. At the same time, the clamping and releasing operations are cumbersome and affect the processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0022] Furthermore, to provide the public with a better understanding of the present invention, certain specific details are described in detail in the following description of the invention. However, those skilled in the art will fully understand the invention even without these detailed descriptions.

[0023] Please see Figures 1-8A welding robot for processing automotive parts includes a processing table 11, which is made of high-strength cast iron with anti-slip and anti-rust treatment. The rectangular table provides stable support for all components of the robot. A multi-degree-of-freedom industrial robotic arm 12 is fixedly mounted at one end of the processing table 11, allowing for flexible adjustment of its angle and position. A welding device body 13 is fixedly mounted at its end. The welding device body 13 uses an arc welding device (other welding devices can also be used as needed; this is a mature technology and will not be elaborated here). It boasts high welding precision and uniform weld seams, enabling efficient butt welding of two sets of workpieces 18, particularly suitable for circumferential welding of curved sections of tubular workpieces such as automotive exhaust pipes. The robotic arm body 12 is equipped with a vision system (a mature technology and will not be elaborated here), including a high-definition camera and an image recognition module, electrically connected to a controller. This system can collect welding images (especially weld seams at curved sections) in real time and provide feedback, helping to improve welding precision and prevent deviations during curved pipe welding.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-8 The spiral spring sheet 14 and the elastic connecting layer 15 are connected. The spiral spring sheet 14 is made of high-strength spring steel and has a spiral structure. It is a lockable flexible structure with good elasticity, toughness and locking performance. In the initial state, the outer diameter is slightly smaller than the inner diameter of the welded workpiece 18, which can be easily inserted into the inside of welded workpieces 18 of different shapes such as straight cylinders and bent pipes (especially suitable for automotive exhaust pipe bends). Its flexible structure can perfectly fit the contour of the inner wall of the bend. The spiral spring sheet 14 is wrapped with a friction layer. The friction layer is made of high-temperature and wear-resistant rubber material, which fits tightly with the inner wall of the welded workpiece 18 (including the inner wall of the bend) to increase friction and prevent the workpiece from rotating and shifting during the welding of the bend. One of the spiral spring sheets 14 has an auxiliary insertion ring 17 integrally formed at its end, and the other spiral spring sheet 14 has an auxiliary insertion ring 17 integrally formed at its end. An auxiliary insertion groove 16 is provided at the end, which is precisely matched to ensure the coaxiality when the bend and the straight cylinder are connected, or when the bend and the bend are connected; the gap inside the helical spring plate 14 is filled with an elastic connecting layer 15. The elastic connecting layer 15 is made of high temperature resistant silicone material, which can be adapted to the high temperature welding environment. It is used to connect the structure of each coil of the helical spring plate 14, ensuring that each coil deforms synchronously. Even inside the bend, the helical spring plate 14 can conform to the contour of the bend and shrink, thereby enhancing the structural strength; support rods 46 are fixed at equal intervals inside the helical spring plate 14. The support rods 46 are made of rigid material and the end is fixed with a guide ring 47. The guide ring 47 is used to guide the connecting rope 44, ensuring that the connecting rope 44 moves smoothly when the helical spring plate 14 deforms inside the bend, without affecting the shrinkage and reset.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-8The moving component includes a guide rail device 21, a guide rail slider 22, a moving plate 23, and a slot 24. The guide rail device 21 adopts an industrial-grade linear guide rail, which is symmetrically fixed on the upper surface of the processing table 11, providing high guiding accuracy and smooth sliding. The guide rail slider 22 is slidably fitted on the guide rail device 21 and can move horizontally along the guide rail device 21. A U-shaped slot 24 is provided on its top. The moving plate 23 is made of stainless steel and spans across the slots 24 of the two guide rail sliders 22 fixed at the same end. It is firmly connected and can move synchronously with the guide rail sliders 22, and is used to install the rotating component.

[0026] Please see Figures 1-8 The rotating assembly includes a motor 31, a rotating plate 32, and a mounting ring 33. The motor 31 is a servo motor, fixedly mounted on the moving plate 23, and its speed is precisely controllable. The rotating plate 32 is made of rigid material and is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 31. A battery and a controller (not shown in the figure) are fixedly mounted on the rotating plate 32. The battery is a rechargeable lithium battery used to power the electric push rod 41, and the controller is used to control the coordinated operation of each component. The mounting ring 33 is fixedly welded to the end of the rotating plate 32 away from the motor 31 and fixedly connected to the end of the helical spring plate 14 to transmit rotational force. The electric push rod 41 is also fixed on the rotating plate 32. The output end of the electric push rod 41 is fixedly mounted with the mounting plate 43. The end of the helical spring plate 14 away from the rotating plate 32 is fixedly mounted with a fixing plate 42. The mounting plate 43 and the fixing plate 42 are connected by a connecting assembly.

[0027] Please see Figures 1-8 The connecting assembly includes a connecting ring 45, a connecting rope 44, and a lifting lug 48. The connecting ring 45 is fixedly welded to the end of the mounting plate 43 and is used to fix the connecting rope 44. The connecting rope 44 is made of high-strength, high-temperature resistant steel wire rope, extends into the interior of the helical spring plate 14, and passes through each guide ring 47. The lifting lug 48 is fixedly installed inside the fixing plate 42 and is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting rope 44. It is used to transmit the tension of the electric push rod 41 and drive the helical spring plate 14 to retract and reset.

[0028] Work process First, securely install the processing table 11 in the designated location in the workshop, ensuring a firm installation to prevent shaking during operation. Install the robotic arm body 12, welding device body 13, moving components, rotating components, and other components, connecting the electrical wiring of each component to ensure normal linkage between the controller, motor 31, electric push rod 41, robotic arm body 12, and vision system. Check the battery power to ensure the electric push rod 41 is powered normally. Then, according to the welding requirements, place the two sets of hollow welding workpieces 18 (which can both be straight cylinders or both bends) to be welded. The two sets of spiral spring plates 14 are respectively fitted outside the straight and curved sections of the exhaust pipe (such as the curved and straight sections of the exhaust pipe of a car). In the initial state, the spiral spring plates 14 are in a naturally extended state. After being inserted into the welded workpiece 18 (for curved workpieces, the spiral spring plates 14 need to be inserted along the contour of the curved pipe), they are not completely attached to the inner wall and only play a preliminary support role. The friction layer is in slight contact with the inner wall of the workpiece (including the inner wall of the curved pipe) to prevent the workpiece from slipping. In particular, the curved workpiece can be prevented from shaking due to its irregular shape by the flexible support of the spiral spring plates 14. The controller is activated to control the moving components. The guide rail slider 22 moves horizontally along the guide rail device 21, causing the moving plate 23, rotating component, helical spring plate 14, and welding workpiece 18 to move closer simultaneously. If it is a bend-to-straight pipe or bend-to-bend pipe connection, the moving components can precisely adjust the moving trajectory to ensure accurate alignment of the connection ends. As the two sets of moving components move closer to each other, the connection ends of the two sets of welding workpieces 18 gradually approach each other until they touch, completing the workpiece connection. Continuing to control the moving components to move closer to each other, the connection ends of the two sets of helical spring plates 14 contact each other, and the auxiliary insertion ring 17 is inserted into the auxiliary insertion slot 16. Inside, the two sets of helical spring plates 14 are precisely aligned to ensure coaxiality between the bent pipe and the straight pipe, and between the bent pipes themselves. At this time, the helical spring plates 14 are subjected to axial pressure and begin to adapt and deform along the internal path (outline of the straight pipe section or the bent pipe section) of the welded workpiece 18. Their helical structure gradually contracts, the spacing between each coil decreases, and the elastic connecting layer 15 deforms synchronously. Even the helical spring plates 14 inside the bent pipe can perfectly fit the inner wall of the bent pipe and contract. At the same time, the electric push rod 41 is activated, and the electric push rod 41 contracts, pulling the fixing plate 42 through the connecting component to assist the helical spring plates 14 in contracting. Until the helical spring plates 14 are completely closed and fully fit the inner wall of the welded workpiece 18 (including the inner wall of the bent pipe), the friction layer increases the friction with the inner wall of the workpiece, effectively preventing the workpiece from rotating or shifting during the welding of the bent pipe. The lockable structure of the helical spring plates 14 locks in place, completing the precise clamping and positioning of the two sets of welded workpieces 18 (including the bent pipe), ensuring that the workpiece does not shift during the welding process. After clamping and positioning are completed, the main body 12 of the robotic arm and the main body 13 of the welding device are started, and the main body 13 of the welding device is adjusted to the butt weld of the workpiece 18. Especially for the weld at the bend, the main body 12 of the robotic arm can flexibly adjust its angle to achieve precise alignment with the vision system. The vision system is started, and the high-definition camera collects weld images in real time (focusing on the weld at the bend). After the image recognition module analyzes and processes the images, it feeds back information such as position deviation and weld unevenness to the controller. The controller adjusts the angle and position of the main body 12 of the robotic arm to ensure that the main body 13 of the welding device is aligned with the weld. Then, the motor 31 is started, and the motor 31 drives the rotating plate 32 to rotate. The rotating plate 32 is driven by the mounting ring 33. The spiral spring plate 14 and the clamped and positioned welding workpiece 18 rotate synchronously axially. Even for bent workpieces, the spiral spring plate 14 can firmly clamp the workpieces and achieve smooth rotation. The rotation speed is precisely controlled by the controller. The main body 13 of the welding device starts and, in coordination with the rotation of the workpieces, completes the full circumference welding of the two sets of welding workpieces 18. It can efficiently complete the circumferential welding at the bend. During the welding process, the vision system monitors the weld status in real time. If a positional deviation or uneven weld is detected, the controller automatically adjusts the welding parameters and the workpiece rotation speed to ensure welding quality. The high temperature generated during the welding process is borne by the high-temperature resistant elastic connecting layer 15, which prevents it from softening and being damaged, and ensures the stable operation of the equipment. After welding is completed, the main body 13 of the welding device, the motor 31, and the vision system are shut down. The electric push rod 41 is extended to move the mounting plate 43, the connecting components are relaxed, and the tension on the fixed plate 42 is released. At the same time, the moving components are moved away from each other, the axial pressure between the two sets of helical spring plates 14 disappears, the locking state is released, and under the action of its own elasticity and elastic connecting layer 15, it gradually resets and returns to the initial extended state, separating from the inner wall (including the inner wall of the bend) of the welded workpiece 18. Even for bend workpieces, the helical spring plates 14 can be smoothly moved out of the bend without jamming. After the helical spring plates 14 are fully reset, the welded workpiece (including bend workpieces, such as automotive exhaust pipe bend fittings) is removed from the helical spring plates 14 to complete the processing. Finally, the moving components are reset, the electric push rod 41 is reset, and the equipment returns to the initial state, waiting for the next batch of workpieces to be processed.

It should not be considered that the specific implementation of the present invention is limited to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, several simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention.
