Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding equipment, in particular to a water tank welding equipment. Background Technique

[0002] A water tank generally refers to a tool for washing or cutting vegetables in the kitchen. At present, during the production process of the water tank, welding processing is required between the bottom plate and the tank surface of the water tank, or between the water tank and the inner tank, or on the inner side edge of the tank surface. The existing operation is to first fix the water tank or water tank components to be welded by a cylinder, and then manually weld them; however, the problems existing in this operation are: (1) The production efficiency is relatively low. First, the water tank workpiece is clamped and fixed, and then welded. After welding, it is necessary to first disassemble and remove the welded water tank workpiece before clamping and fixing and welding the next water tank workpiece to be welded, which takes a long time; (2) The cost of manual welding is relatively high, which is not conducive to large-scale production by enterprises.

[0003] Based on the above problems, we propose a water tank welding equipment. Content of the Utility Model

[0009] Further, the first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism have the same structure except for the installation positions.

[0010] Further, the distance between the welding mechanism and the first clamping mechanism is the same as the distance between the welding mechanism and the second clamping mechanism.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0020] The following further describes the specific embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the drawings:

[0021] As Figure 1-2 shown,

[0022] A sink welding device includes a workbench 1, a first clamping mechanism 2, a second clamping mechanism 3, and a welding mechanism 4. The first clamping mechanism 2, the second clamping mechanism 3, and the welding mechanism 4 are respectively installed on the workbench 1. The first clamping mechanism 2 includes a mounting base 5 and a clamping device 6. A plurality of clamping devices 6 are arranged on the top surface of the mounting base 5. The moving end of the clamping device 6 is connected with a pressing block. An installation hole is arranged in the middle of the top surface of the mounting base 5. The welding mechanism 4 includes a driving device 8 and a welding part 9. The moving end of the driving device 8 is connected with the welding part 9. The driving device 8 drives the welding part 9 to move towards the first clamping mechanism 2 to weld the clamped workpiece, or the driving device 8 drives the welding part 9 to move towards the second clamping mechanism 3 to weld the clamped workpiece. In this embodiment, by providing the first clamping mechanism 2 and the second clamping mechanism 3, when welding work is carried out on the first clamping mechanism 2, the operation of disassembling the welded workpiece and reinstalling the workpiece to be welded can be carried out on the second clamping mechanism 3. When the operation of installing the workpiece to be welded is completed on the second clamping mechanism 3, the welding mechanism 4 also just completes the welding work on the first clamping mechanism 2, and then alternates to work, so as to convert the time for installing and disassembling the sink workpiece into equal welding time, which can greatly improve the work efficiency.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 2 and the second clamping mechanism 3 have the same structure except for the installation position. It not only realizes double-station operation, but also can quickly weld workpieces of the same specification (including the installation and disassembly process and the welding process).

[0024] As a preferred embodiment, the distance between the welding mechanism 4 and the first clamping mechanism 2 is the same as the distance between the welding mechanism 4 and the second clamping mechanism 3. In this embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 2 is arranged at one of the corner positions on the end face of the workbench 1, the second clamping mechanism 3 is arranged at the other corner position on the end face of the workbench 1, and the welding mechanism 4 is arranged at the other corner position between the two. Such a structural design enables the driving device 8 to reduce the moving path and shorten the time for driving the welding part 9 to reach the position, which is beneficial to improving the production efficiency.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment, the driving device 8 adopts a six-axis manipulator, and the welding part 9 adopts a welding head. By adopting a six-axis manipulator, not only the automation degree is relatively high, but also the work efficiency is greatly improved and the labor cost is reduced.

[0026] As a preferred embodiment, the clamping device 6 is a rotary pressing cylinder, and the clamping device 6 is arranged at the end of the top surface of the mounting base 5. It can be understood that in this embodiment, several clamping devices 6 are provided (and the corresponding number of pressing blocks is also several), which are respectively arranged around the mounting hole. When clamping the workpiece, the periphery of the workpiece can be fixed, and the fixing effect is good. Moreover, by using a rotary pressing cylinder, on the one hand, the volume is small and it does not occupy much space, which is convenient for coordinating with the structural design of the clamping mechanism. On the other hand, it can quickly rotate and press down to clamp, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the pressing block includes a first pressing block 10, a second pressing block 11 and a third pressing block 12. The materials of the first pressing block 10, the second pressing block 11 and the third pressing block 12 are all rubber, and the sizes of the first pressing block 10, the second pressing block 11 and the third pressing block 12 are different from each other. In this embodiment, the sizes of the connected first pressing block 10, second pressing block 11 and third pressing block 12 are different from each other, aiming to enable them to adapt to and clamp different-sized groove surfaces of the sink workpiece, so as to improve the clamping effect. In addition, the sizes of the first pressing block 10, the second pressing block 11 and the third pressing block 12 can also be the same, which can be adjusted according to the actual situation. In addition, using rubber makes it have a certain elasticity, which is convenient for the pressing block to deform after contacting the workpiece to block the gap and better clamp the workpiece.

[0028] As a preferred embodiment, several support plates 13 are installed on the top surface of the mounting base 5 and near the mounting hole. By providing several support plates 13 with different sizes, they are mainly installed according to the actual situation, so that they can support the bottom of the side end of the groove surface of the workpiece, which is beneficial to clamping the workpiece after the pressing block presses down.

[0029] The working principle of the present utility model is as follows: First, place the sink workpiece in the mounting hole, and the support plate 13 supports the bottom of the side end of the groove surface of the workpiece. Then start the clamping device 6, which can drive each pressing block to rotate and press down, so as to press and fix each top side surface of the workpiece. At this time, start the driving device 8 to drive the welding part 9 to move and weld the inner side wall of the workpiece. After the welding is completed, the clamping device 6 drives the pressing block to reset, and then the workpiece is taken out.

[0030] It is worth mentioning that when welding work is carried out on the first clamping mechanism 2, the welded workpiece can be disassembled on the second clamping mechanism 3 and the workpiece to be welded and processed can be reinstalled, and the work is continuously alternated, so that the welding mechanism 4 can work efficiently without interruption.

[0031] It should be noted that the main problems in the prior art are as follows: in the prior art, the operation is to first fix the water tank or water tank components to be welded by a cylinder, and then manually weld them; this results in low production efficiency and high labor costs.

[0032] Therefore, after the improvement of the present application, the time for installing and disassembling the workpiece can be greatly saved, enabling the welding work to be carried out continuously, thus greatly improving the welding efficiency of the water tank; moreover, in this welding equipment, a six-axis manipulator and a welding head are used to weld the water tank workpiece, changing the deficiency of manual welding, reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency; in addition, multiple rotary pressing cylinders and pressing blocks made of rubber material are used to fix the workpiece, which not only has a good fixing effect, but also the external controller can synchronously control the actions of multiple rotary pressing cylinders, and the time during the clamping of the workpiece is shorter, further improving production efficiency.

[0033] The above embodiments are only descriptions of the preferred embodiments of the present invention, and do not limit the scope of the present invention. Without departing from the design spirit of the present invention, various deformations and improvements made by those of ordinary engineering and technical personnel in the art to the technical solutions of the present invention shall fall within the protection scope determined by the claims of the present invention.
