[0002] The welding of the finished workpiece requires welding the bottom plate on one side of the supporting square tube, welding the cover plate on the other side, and welding a positioning sleeve on the outer wall of the supporting square tube. In the prior art, the operator needs to flip the supporting square tube and weld the welding points one by one by holding a welding gun, but manual welding has the following disadvantages:

[0003] 1. In order to weld different parts of the supporting square tube, the supporting square tube needs to be repeatedly turned over, which increases the operator's physical labor. During the turning process, it is also easy to cause bumps, resulting in damage to the appearance;

[0004] 2. The consistency of the products cannot be guaranteed. The quality of the finished welding products will vary depending on the operator's experience, and is not suitable for large-scale production;

[0005] Moreover, with the development of program control and automation technology, the application of welding robots not only reduces labor costs and improves production efficiency, but also ensures processing quality. In order to be linked with the welding robot, this application proposes a double-station robot welding tooling. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a double-station robot welding tooling that can be linked with a welding robot and is suitable for the development of the prior art. The fixture assembly can accurately position the supporting square tube and the base plate, greatly improving the consistency of the product.

[0007] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is: a double-station robot welding tool, including a clamp assembly that can rotate with a driving device, and the supporting square tube and the bottom plate can be clamped on the clamp assembly;

[0008] The clamp assembly includes a support plate, on which a vertical plate and a clamping mechanism are erected, and the clamping mechanism includes a B angle block that can move toward the vertical plate, and a clamping area with an adjustable distance is formed between the inner wall of the vertical plate and the outer wall of the B angle block, so that the supporting square tube is clamped in the clamping area;

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes an angle pressing plate and an angle block A connected to the support plate, and the angle block B is moved by being squeezed by the angle pressing plate.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamping portion includes a retaining plate and a positioning platform protruding outward from the retaining plate, and the positioning platform supports the inner cavity of the bottom plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the clamping portion includes a positioning pin connected to the retaining plate and used to pass through a through hole on the bottom plate, and at least one positioning pin is provided.

[0013] Furthermore, the clamping mechanism includes a fastening assembly for controlling the position of the angle pressure plate, and an inclined force-bearing surface is provided on the same side corresponding to the A angle block and the B angle block, a moving channel is formed between the two force-bearing surfaces, and slopes corresponding to the force-bearing surfaces are provided on both sides of the angle pressure plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the driving device includes a base and two rotating arms arranged relatively on the base, and the clamp assembly can be detached between the two rotating arms.

[0042] Vertical plates 61 are provided on both sides of the support plate 6, and reinforcing ribs are provided at the junction of the outer wall of the vertical plate 61 and the support plate 6. The inner wall of the vertical plate 61 is used to resist one side of the supporting square tube 10. Two clamping mechanisms are provided on the inner side of the vertical plate 61 along the placement direction of the supporting square tube 10. The clamping mechanism includes a B angle block 71 that can move toward the inner wall of the vertical plate 61. The outer wall of the B angle block 71 is used to resist the other side of the supporting square tube 10. A clamping area with an adjustable distance is formed between the inner wall of the vertical plate 61 and the outer wall of the B angle block 71, so that the supporting square tube 10 is clamped in the clamping area. In the present embodiment, a total of four clamping mechanisms are provided, and the two clamping mechanisms are symmetrically arranged with the positioning tube 5 as the center.

[0043] The clamping mechanism includes an angle pressing plate 7 and an A angle block 62 connected to the support plate 6. The A angle block 62 and the B angle block 71 are provided with a force-bearing surface inclined from outside to inside on the same side corresponding to each other, and a moving channel is formed between the two force-bearing surfaces. Both sides of the angle pressing plate 7 are provided with slopes corresponding to the force-bearing surfaces, and the B angle block 71 is moved by pressing down the angle pressing plate 7.

[0044] The clamping mechanism includes a fastening assembly 72 for controlling the position of the angle pressure plate 7. In the present embodiment, the fastening assembly 72 uses a stud bolt and two nuts. The lower end of the stud bolt is connected to the support plate 6 and fixed in position by a nut A. The upper end of the stud bolt passes through the middle of the angle pressure plate 7 and is connected to a nut B. The angle pressure plate 7 is pressed down by tightening the nut B. The nut B uses a shoulder nut.

[0045] A clamping portion for fixing the workpiece base plate 101 is provided on the side of the support plate 41 facing the support plate 6. There are two clamping portions, which are respectively located on the left and right sides of the support plate 41. The clamping portion includes a retaining plate 42 and a positioning platform 421 protruding outward on the retaining plate 42. The positioning platform 421 is used to support the inner cavity of the base plate 101. At least one positioning pin 422 is provided on the retaining plate 42 for passing through the through hole on the base plate 101 to prevent the base plate 101 from deviating and rotating. In the present embodiment, the positioning platform 421 is in a rhombus shape, and the upper and lower ends of the rhombus are both in an arc shape corresponding to the inner diameter of the base plate 101.

[0046] An end plate 4 is arranged on the other side of the support plate 41, and a clamping arm 21 is arranged on the rotating shaft of the left rotating arm. The clamping arm 21 and the end plate 4 are linked through a double-ear support seat. The double-ear support seat includes a driving part 3 and a plug-in part 31. A square through hole is provided in the center of the driving part 3, and conical through grooves are provided on both side ends thereof to cooperate with the clamping parts of the clamping arm 21 that can simultaneously retract inwards. The end plate 4 can be inserted into the plug-in part 31, and a plurality of threaded holes are provided on the part of the plug-in part 31 that intersects with the end plate 4.

The connecting mechanism includes a positioning disk 8 that can be sleeved on the end of the positioning tube 5 and a pad 9 that abuts against the end of the positioning tube 5. The positioning disk 8 is "convex" in shape, and a bolt is threadedly connected to the protruding sleeve of the positioning disk 8, and locking is achieved by tightening the bolt. In order to reduce the weight of the positioning disk 8 during installation and the inertia during rotation, a plurality of weight-reducing holes are arranged around the positioning disk 8, and the pad 9 is connected to the groove on the rear side of the positioning disk 8 by bolts, and is connected to the positioning tube 5 by bolts.

[0053] Align the through hole on the base plate 101 with the positioning pin 422, insert the inner cavity of the base plate 101 into the positioning platform 421, place the supporting square tube 10 on the support plate 6, and make its end close to the base plate 101, the inner wall of the vertical plate 61 abuts against the side wall of the supporting square tube 10, rotate the B nut in the fastening assembly 72, so that the angle pressure plate 7 presses the B angle block 71 downward, so that the B angle block 71 abuts against the other side wall of the supporting square tube 10, and the supporting square tube 10 is clamped.

[0054] The supporting square tube 10 is riveted to the bottom plate 101 , and a positioning sleeve 103 is riveted to the side wall of the supporting square tube 10 , and a cover plate 102 is riveted to the other end of the supporting square tube 10 .
