Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of machinery and relates to an automatic feeding device, in particular to a radium welding discharge device and a radium welding production line. Background Art

[0002] In modern manufacturing, laser welding technology is widely used in production lines of various products due to its high efficiency and precision. Laser welding, which uses laser as a heat source, can achieve high-quality welding results. However, in automated production lines, the efficiency of laser welding depends not only on the welding itself, but also on the upstream process, especially the discharge process.

[0003] In automated laser welding production lines, a four-axis manipulator is usually used to quickly place small parts into the laser welding jig for laser welding operations. Although this method improves the efficiency of material placement to a certain extent, it still has efficiency bottlenecks when dealing with high-precision and miniaturized parts. Specifically, in the process of picking and placing small parts, it is usually necessary to use a flexible vibration plate combined with a visual positioning system for precise picking. The complexity and time-consuming nature of this process greatly limits the cycle time of the entire production line.

[0004] The Chinese patent application number is 202111639314.2. A utility model.

The double-station pipe loading unit is provided with pipes, the rod loading unit is provided with rods, the rod clamping unit can clamp the rods on the rod loading unit, the welding unit can weld rods and pipes on the welding support unit, and the rod welding pushing unit can push the welded parts on the welding support unit.

[0005] A dual-point automatic welding system with dual-station loading and a welding support unit mentioned in the working method may have limitations because it can only be used for welding rods and pipes of specific shapes, and cannot flexibly adapt to workpieces of different shapes. The discharge module design in the utility model is more flexible and can be applied to a variety of products.

[0006] Therefore, in order to improve the production efficiency of the entire automatic line and shorten the cycle time, it is urgent to develop a new radium welding unloading device that can complete the automatic unloading of small parts faster and more accurately. Utility Model Content

[0015] Preferably, the two material carriers are arranged relative to each other to form a left-right symmetrical structure.

[0018] 1. Improve the efficiency and accuracy of unloading: Through the use of the double-station unloading mechanism and the four-axis manipulator, continuous and fast unloading operation is achieved.

Enhance the stability and reliability of operation: The combination of the rotary motor and lifting cylinder installed on the work station plate allows small parts to be turned over and positioned as necessary before unloading, ensuring that each small part can be accurately placed in the predetermined position in the fixture.

[0021] 4. Achieve precise positioning of small parts: The design of coarse and fine positioning columns not only improves the accuracy of material placement, but also reduces operational errors through the fool-proof function.
