Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of chain conveyor manufacturing, and in particular relates to an automatic chain welding hook device. Background Art

[0002] Fu-type chain conveyor is a kind of conveying equipment widely used in the mining, chemical, grain processing and other industries. It mainly relies on the internal friction and side pressure of the material. The movement of the conveyor chain increases the internal pressure of the material in the machine trough and the internal friction between the particles. The material moves forward with the conveyor chain to form a continuous overall flow. This conveying principle enables the Fu-type chain conveyor to transport a large amount of material in a small capacity space.

[0003] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN215796322U discloses an anti-chain-off structure for a FU-type chain conveyor, which includes a rectangular box, a chain, and a chain hook. The box is provided with a lower track and an upper track, the roller sleeve of the chain cooperates with the lower track and the upper track, the L-shaped chain hook is symmetrically fixed to the outer chain plate of the chain, and the outer surface of the horizontal part of the chain hook is fixed with a plurality of rake nails perpendicular to the horizontal part; a pressure roller is provided on the upper part of the chain above the upper track, and the two ends of the roller shaft of the pressure roller are connected to the side plate of the box through a bracket.

[0004] In the above-mentioned patent scheme, the L-shaped chain hook is often fixed to the outside of the chain plate by welding. Since a single chain has a large number of chain plates, the welding work of the chain hook occupies a large proportion in the overall assembly work of the conveyor production. In addition, since most of the current welding methods are manual, in addition to the large workload, there are also many problems such as low work efficiency, chain hook positioning error, and poor welding quality. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the technical problems in the prior art that the welding of chain hooks on chain plates consumes a lot of manpower, has low work efficiency and cannot ensure welding quality; one purpose of the present invention is to provide an automatic chain hook welding device, by setting a rotating chain hook and chain plate clamp, welding is performed while the clamp rotates, and the chain plate clamp can be raised and lowered, so that the two connecting positions of the chain hook and the chain plate can be automatically welded without flipping the chain plate.

[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: an automatic chain hook welding device, comprising a lower turntable, which is rotatably connected to the upper end of a workbench; a chain hook positioning groove, which is arranged at the upper end of the lower turntable; a lifting ring, which is longitudinally slidably connected above the workbench; an upper turntable, which is rotatably connected to the lower end of the lifting ring, and the lower turntable and the upper turntable are coaxially arranged; a chain plate positioning groove, which is arranged at the lower part of the upper turntable; a welding device, which has two welding devices, respectively used for welding the upper and lower ends of the chain plates; wherein a pressure block is slidably connected in the chain plate positioning groove, the pressure block is transmission-connected to the lifting ring, and the pressure block can be selectively abutted against the upper end of the chain plate.

[0007] When the lifting ring is located at the lower extreme position, the upper end of the chain hook in the chain hook positioning groove is located in the welding hole of the chain plate in the chain plate positioning groove, the lower turntable and the upper turntable rotate synchronously, and the welding device welds the annular contact seam at the upper end; when the lifting ring is located at the upper extreme position, the chain plate moves the chain hook upward synchronously to provide welding space for the welding gun, and the welding device welds the annular contact seam at the lower end while the upper turntable rotates.

[0008] The operator only needs to load and unload materials to automatically weld the upper and lower surfaces of the chain plate. While improving work efficiency, it can also improve the positioning accuracy of the chain hook and prevent the chain hook from tilting and deflecting. The welding trajectory is always the optimal movement trajectory of the welding gun, and the welding quality is also guaranteed.

[0009] Furthermore, a spring is arranged between the pressure block and the upper turntable; the elastic force of the spring is used to make the pressure block resist against the upper end of the chain plate; a driven column is arranged at the lower end of the pressure block; and a driving inclined surface facing the driven column is arranged at the upper end of the lower turntable.

[0010] When the lifting ring is located at the lower limit position, the driving inclined surface drives the driven column to move until the pressure block no longer contacts the upper end of the chain plate, thereby facilitating the loading and unloading of the chain plate and the chain hook; when the lifting ring slides upward, the driving inclined surface no longer contacts the driven column, and the spring causes the pressure block to press the chain plate to prevent the chain plate from shaking and causing position deviation.

[0011] Furthermore, the lifting ring is provided with a motor drivingly connected to the upper turntable; the lower end of the upper turntable is provided with an insert block; the upper end of the lower turntable is provided with a slot; the insert block can be selectively plugged into the slot.

[0012] When the lifting ring is located at the lower limit position, the insert block is located in the slot, and the upper turntable rotates while driving the lower turntable to rotate synchronously.

[0013] Specifically, the chain hook positioning groove is an L-shaped structure that fits with the chain hook; the chain hook positioning groove includes a vertical groove arranged at the central position of the lower turntable; the height of the vertical groove is greater than the height of the driving inclined surface in the vertical direction.

[0014] The chain hook is eccentrically arranged on the chain plate. When the chain hook leaves the chain hook positioning groove, the chain plate will be driven to deflect. The vertical groove limits the eccentric movement of the chain hook. During the upward movement of the lifting ring, the driven column is first separated from the driving inclined surface, and then the chain hook is moved out of the vertical groove to prevent the chain plate from moving.

[0015] Specifically, the chain plate positioning groove is arranged on the insert block; the lower turntable is provided with a boss facing the insert block; and the slot is arranged at the upper end of the boss.

[0016] The insert block protrudes downward, and the chain hook positioning groove is arranged on the insert block, which can reduce the distance between the lower end of the chain hook and the lower end of the upper turntable, thereby providing a larger welding space for the welding gun.

[0017] Specifically, a guide angle is provided on the outer edge of the lower end of the insert block; the guide angle facilitates the insert block to be inserted into the slot, thereby eliminating the accumulated error caused by the reciprocating motion.

[0018] Furthermore, a limiting groove is arranged on the upper turntable; and a limiting column slidably connected to the limiting groove is arranged on the pressing block.

[0019] Specifically, two sliding rods are symmetrically arranged at the lower end of one side of the lifting ring; the sliding rods are slidably connected to the workbench; a lifting cylinder is arranged on the workbench between the two sliding rods; and the sliding end of the lifting cylinder is arranged at the lower end of the lifting ring.

[0020] Specifically, the welding device includes a mounting plate, which is arranged on the workbench; a welding cylinder, which is arranged on the mounting plate; and a welding gun, which is arranged on the sliding end of the welding cylinder.

[0021] Specifically, a ring gear is coaxially arranged at the lower end of the upper turntable; and a motor gear drivingly connected to the ring gear is arranged on the output shaft of the motor.

[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: the operator only needs to take and place the chain plate and chain hook to automatically complete the welding of the annular contact seam between the chain plate and the chain hook, thereby reducing the manual work intensity; at the same time, the relative position of the chain plate and the chain hook is accurate, which also improves the welding accuracy; the welding path is always the same, which can also provide a guarantee for the welding quality; in addition, the lifting ring can drive the chain plate and the chain hook to move upward, providing a welding space for the welding of the lower part of the chain plate, without the need to manually turn over the chain plate, further improving work efficiency and reducing manual participation.
