In addition, due to the influence of human factors, the clamping accuracy is difficult to ensure, resulting in unstable welding quality, making it difficult to meet the needs of high-precision welding;

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 4The utility model provides a technical solution: an industrial robot welding automatic clamping mechanism, including a clamping mechanical arm 1, the clamping mechanical arm 1 is an existing conventional technology, which will not be described in detail here; a conveyor belt 10 is arranged on the front side of the clamping mechanical arm 1, and two mutually symmetrical support plates 2 are arranged on the front side of the conveyor belt 10, a crossbeam plate 20 is fixedly installed between the two support plates 2, and a clamping device 3 is arranged on the two support plates 2, and the clamping device 3 includes a long shaft 31 rotatably connected to the two support plates 2, and a rectangular frame 32 is fixedly installed on the long shaft 31, and the rectangular frame 3 2 are provided with two symmetrical clamping assemblies 33 on the inner side surfaces of the upper and lower side plates, and the clamping assembly 33 includes an electric push rod 331 fixedly mounted on the rectangular frame 32, and a clamping block 334 is provided on the telescopic axis of the electric push rod 331. The end of the long axis 31 is coaxially provided with a driving motor 30 to ensure that when in use, the clamping mechanical arm 1 can be used to clamp and transfer the workpiece transported on the conveyor belt 10 to the clamping assembly 33, and then the electric push rod 331 is used to drive the clamping block 334 to clamp the workpiece, thereby completing the automatic clamping operation.

[0027] In this embodiment, the output shaft end of the drive motor 30 is fixedly mounted on the long shaft 31, and the drive motor 30 is fixedly mounted on the support plate 2, so that the drive motor 30 can be used to drive the long shaft 31 to rotate, and further drive the rectangular frame 32 to rotate, so as to adjust the orientation of the clamped workpiece and facilitate welding clamping operations on multiple parts of the workpiece.

[0028] Specifically, the upper and lower clamping blocks 334 are positioned opposite to each other and are used for clamping operations of welded parts.

[0029] Furthermore, a rectangular plate 332 is fixedly installed at the end of the telescopic shaft of the electric push rod 331, and a protrusion 333 is fixedly installed at the end of the clamping block 334. The rectangular plate 332 and the protrusion 333 are fixedly connected by a plurality of fastening bolts, which facilitates the installation, disassembly and replacement operations of the clamping block 334, and realizes the replacement of clamping blocks 334 of different models for clamping.

[0030] In addition, a support frame 11 is provided on the rear side of the support plate 2, and two symmetrical rotating shafts 12 are rotatably connected between the front and rear side plates of the support frame 11. The conveyor belt 10 is sleeved on the two rotating shafts 12, and a stepping motor 13 is coaxially provided at the end of one of the rotating shafts 12 to facilitate driving the conveyor belt 10 to rotate for conveying operations.

[0031] It is worth noting that the output shaft end of the stepper motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 12 , and the stepper motor 13 is fixedly mounted on the supporting frame 11 , so that the stepper motor 13 can be used to drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate.

[0032] It is worth noting that after the starting point of the output shaft of the driving motor 30 is determined, the rotation angle of the output shaft of the driving motor 30 is controlled between negative 180 degrees and positive 180 degrees so as not to affect other wiring operations.

[0033] When the automatic clamping mechanism for welding of an industrial robot of the present invention is in use, the stepper motor 13 is connected to an external power supply and made to work. When the stepper motor 13 works, the output shaft thereon rotates to drive the rotating shaft 12 to rotate. The rotating shaft 12 rotates to drive the conveyor belt 10 to rotate, so as to realize the conveying operation of the workpiece. After the workpiece is conveyed to the position of the clamping mechanical arm 1, the stepper motor 13 stops working, and then the clamping mechanical arm 1 is started and made to work. When the clamping mechanical arm 1 works, the workpiece conveyed on the conveyor belt 10 is clamped and transported to the clamping component 33. Then the electric push rod 331 is started and made to work. When the electric push rod 331 works, the workpiece conveyed on the conveyor belt 10 is clamped and transported to the position of the clamping component 33. The extension of the telescopic shaft drives the clamping block 334 to move, thereby realizing the clamping operation on the workpiece. After clamping and fixing, the clamping robot arm 1 is released and continues to clamp the next workpiece and place it at another clamping component 33, and continues to use another clamping component 33 to clamp the workpiece. At this time, the clamping operation of the two workpieces is completed, and the clamping robot arm 1 returns to the initial position, and the welding operation is performed using an external welding robot. When necessary, the drive motor 30 can be connected to an external power supply and made to work. When the drive motor 30 works, the output shaft thereon rotates, driving the rectangular frame 32 and the workpiece clamped on the clamping block 334 to rotate.
