DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the technical means, technical features, utility model objectives and technical effects achieved by the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further explained below with reference to specific illustrations.

[0028] like Figure 1-3 As shown, a device for processing loose coils in the inner hole of a steel coil of the utility model comprises a connecting arm 10, a spot welding device 20, and an inner ring smoothing detection device 30. The inner ring smoothing detection device 30 is bolted to the connecting arm 10 through a mounting seat 302, and the end of the connecting arm 10 is connected to the robot through a flange. The spot welding device 20 is arranged on the mounting seat 302 and is bolted to the inner ring smoothing detection device 30. The robot provides power for movement and rotation of the connecting arm 10, the spot welding device 20, and the inner ring smoothing detection device 30.

[0029] like Figure 3-5 As shown, the inner ring smoothing detection device 30 includes a detection component and a smoothing component. The detection component includes a first sensor 310 and a second sensor 311. When working, the robot drives the inner ring smoothing detection device 30 to move, and uses the presence or absence of a signal from the first sensor 310 to move from one end of the steel coil to the other end, calculates the length the robot has traveled, and thus determines the length of the steel coil. On the end face of the steel pipe, the second sensor 311 is used for three-point positioning to obtain the center of the steel coil. After the center and length of the steel coil are determined, the first sensor 310 detects the degree of collapse of the inner hole of the steel coil, thereby determining whether the collapse requires manual intervention.

[0030] The smoothing assembly includes a cross shaft 303 and a plurality of tightening units arranged on the periphery of the cross shaft 303 for tightening the inner ring of the steel coil, and the plurality of tightening units are arranged in a circular array around the cross shaft 303. The cross shaft 303 is connected to a power device for driving the tightening unit to tighten or retract, and the power device may be a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder. In the present embodiment, the first cylinder 301 is preferably used. The first cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting arm 10 away from the robot, and the output end of the first cylinder 301 is fixedly connected to the cross shaft 303. A guide key 314 is provided on the cross shaft 303, and a second guide sleeve 304 is connected to the outer shell of the cross shaft 303, so as to ensure that the cross shaft 303 can only move axially under the push of the first cylinder 301, thereby ensuring the accuracy of detection and smoothing. The tightening unit includes a pull rod 313, a first connecting rod 312 and a second connecting rod 316 arranged in parallel, and a connecting rod connecting plate 315. A connecting sleeve 307 is sleeved on the cross shaft 303, and an adjusting screw 306 is arranged on the connecting sleeve 307. One end of the first connecting rod 312 and the second connecting rod 316 are respectively hinged on the connecting sleeve 307, and the other end of the first connecting rod 312 and the other end of the second connecting rod 316 are respectively hinged to the connecting rod connecting plate 315. A fixing plate 305 is arranged on the outer sleeve of the cross shaft 303, and the fixing plate 305 is fixedly connected to the connecting arm 10 through a mounting seat 302 sleeved on the outside of the cross shaft 303. The two ends of the pull rod 313 are respectively hinged to the connecting rod connecting plate 315 and the fixing plate 305. A roller seat 309 is fixed on the connecting rod connecting plate 315, and a roller 308 is rotatably connected to the roller seat 309. The roller 308 is made of polyurethane to avoid damage to the inner ring of the steel coil.

[0031] A guide head 318 is provided at the end of the device for processing the loose inner ring of the steel coil away from the robot. The guide head 318 is conical. The guide head 318 facilitates the steel coil smoothing mechanism to enter the inner ring of the steel coil.

[0032] like Figure 6-7 As shown, the spot welding device 20 includes two symmetrically arranged second cylinders 207 and two spot welding assemblies. The output ends of the two second cylinders 207 are fixedly connected with a connecting plate 206, and the two spot welding assemblies are symmetrically arranged on the connecting plate 206. The steel coil inner ring smoothing welding mechanism also includes a third sensor 317 for determining the position of the steel coil head.

[0033] The spot welding assembly includes an electrode rod 202 and an insulating member arranged between the electrode rod 202 and a connecting plate 206. An electrode cap 201 is sleeved on the top of the electrode rod 202, a copper nut 210 is sleeved on the bottom of the electrode rod 202, a limit ring 203 is integrally formed on the upper part of the electrode rod 202, a first guide sleeve 205 is sleeved on the middle part of the electrode rod 202, and a compression spring 204 is sleeved between the limit ring 203 and the first guide sleeve 205 on the outside of the electrode rod 202, one end of the compression spring 204 is connected to the limit ring 203, and the other end of the compression spring 204 is connected to the first guide sleeve 205. The electrode rod 202 is connected to the transformer through a welding cable, and the intermediate frequency controller is connected to the transformer. The intermediate frequency controller can adjust the current to adapt to different steel plate thicknesses. The insulating member includes an insulating plate 208 arranged above the connecting plate 206, an insulating sleeve 209 sleeved outside the first guide sleeve 205, and an insulating pad 211 arranged below the connecting plate 206.

[0034] Working principle:

[0035] During operation, the incoming material is inspected, and the steel coil is placed at the designated position. The robot drives the inner ring smoothing detection device 30 to move. By checking whether there is a signal from the first sensor 310, the robot moves from one end to the other in the radial direction of the steel coil, and calculates the length the robot has traveled to determine the length of the steel coil. At the end face of the steel coil, the second sensor 311 is used to locate the center of the steel coil using three points. When the center and length of the steel coil are determined, the first sensor 310 can detect the degree of collapse of the inner hole of the steel coil to determine whether manual intervention is required for the collapse of the steel coil.

[0036] When the center, length, and degree of collapse of the steel coil are determined, the robot drives the inner ring smoothing detection device 30 to enter the inner ring of the steel coil. After entering the inner ring of the steel coil, the first cylinder 301 pushes the cross shaft 303 to move forward. At this time, as the cross shaft 303 moves, the first connecting rod 312, the second connecting rod 316, the pull rod 313, and the roller seat 309 will have an opening action. When the roller 308 is completely pressed on the inner ring surface of the steel coil, the robot drives the inner ring smoothing detection device 30 to start rotating to smooth the inner ring of the steel coil. At the same time, the third sensor 317 rotates to find the position of the lead. The third sensor 317 stops rotating after finding the lead position. At this time, the position of the lead falls in the middle of the electrode rod 202. The second cylinder 207 drives the electrode cap 201 and the electrode rod 202 to lift up, so that the electrode cap 201 is completely pressed on both sides of the lead. After compaction, power is turned on for spot welding. Depending on the size of the steel coil, 3 to 4 points are spot welded. After spot welding, the robot returns to its original position, and the entire inner circle smoothing and welding action is completed.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model, and is not intended to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. That is, all equivalent changes and modifications made according to the content of the patent application scope of the utility model should belong to the technical scope of the utility model.
