[0032] The present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] Refer to Figure 1 , the present utility model provides a component welding auxiliary equipment, which is used for grinding rust, removing dirt, etc. on the surface of the component to be welded (i.e., the surface of the corresponding material), and can also be used to clamp the material to complete the feeding operation of the material, facilitating the welding operation of the material. It can automatically grind and automatically feed, saving labor and improving efficiency. The component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model will be described below in conjunction with the drawings.

[0034] Refer to Figure 1 , which shows a schematic three-dimensional structure diagram of the component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model. Refer to Figure 2 , which shows a side view of the component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model. The following will describe the component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model in conjunction with Figure 1 and Figure 2 .

[0035] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model includes a slide rail 21, a grinding mechanism 22 and a material clamping mechanism 23. The setting direction of the slide rail 21 is consistent with the length direction of the component to be welded. The grinding mechanism 22 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 21, and the grinding mechanism 22 can be moved and adjusted along the slide rail 21. A rotatable grinding disc 221 is provided on the grinding mechanism 22, and the surface of the material forming the component is ground by the rotating grinding disc 221. The material clamping mechanism 23 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 21, and the material clamping mechanism 23 can be moved and adjusted along the slide rail 21. At least a pair of clamping jaws with adjustable clamping distance are provided on the material clamping mechanism 23. The at least a pair of clamping jaws can clamp the corresponding material by adjusting the clamping distance, and then the clamped material can be placed at the position of the material ground by the grinding mechanism 22 to realize the docking of the two materials, so as to facilitate the welding of the materials.

[0036] When in use, the component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model can be placed close to the welding platform, that is, the slide rail 21 is arranged on one side of the welding platform, and then the grinding mechanism 22 and the material clamping mechanism 23 are moved and adjusted along the slide rail 21, so as to realize the corresponding grinding of the material placed on the welding platform and the feeding operation of the material to be welded.

[0037] Furthermore, to ensure that the operation ranges of the grinding mechanism 22 and the material clamping mechanism 23 can cover the entire range of the component, the length of the slide rail 21 needs to be greater than the length of the component to be welded. In this way, when the grinding mechanism 22 performs the grinding operation, the material clamping mechanism 23 can move to one end of the slide rail 21 to vacate the operation space and avoid affecting the movement and adjustment position of the grinding mechanism 22. Similarly, when the material clamping mechanism 23 performs the feeding operation, the grinding mechanism 22 can also move to the other end of the slide rail 21 to vacate the operation space and avoid affecting the movement and adjustment position of the material clamping mechanism 23.

[0038] The working process of the component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model will be described below.

[0039] During use, place this component welding auxiliary device on one side of the welding platform, fix the position of the slide rail 21, and then place the material to be polished, such as the first plate, on the welding platform. The polishing mechanism 22 makes the polishing disc 221 adhere to the surface of the first plate, and then rotates the polishing disc 221 to polish the surface of the first plate. As the polishing mechanism 22 moves along the slide rail 21, the polishing disc 221 can complete the polishing operation on the surface of the first plate. Then, the material clamping mechanism 23 is activated, and the clamping jaws are used to clamp the material to be welded, such as the second plate. Place the clamped second plate near the first plate and make it adhere to the first plate. Then, the material clamping mechanism 23 clamps the second plate and does not move, and welds the first plate and the second plate. It can be automatically welded by a welding robot or manually welded. After welding is completed, the material clamping mechanism 23 releases the clamping of the second plate, and then performs the feeding operation for the next plate.

[0040] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 3 shown, the polishing mechanism 22 further includes a first robotic arm 222 and a drive motor 223 installed at the end of the first robotic arm 222. The drive motor 223 is drivingly connected to the polishing disc 221, and the drive motor 223 can drive the polishing disc 221 to rotate; the first robotic arm 222 can adjust the position of the drive motor 223, and thus adjust the position of the polishing disc 221.

[0041] The first robotic arm 222 has a position adjustment function and can achieve three-dimensional adjustment in space. It can adjust the position of the polishing disc 221 to make the polishing disc 221 adhere to the surface of the material to be polished, and after polishing is completed, make the polishing disc 221 move away from the material. The first robotic arm 222 can be a three-axis robotic arm or a six-axis robotic arm.

[0042] Furthermore, there are two polishing discs 221 and two drive motors 223 as well; at the end of the first robotic arm 222, there is an installation seat 224, and the two drive motors 223 are installed on both sides of the installation seat 224. By using the two polishing discs 221 to polish the material, the polishing effect can be improved.

[0043] Still further, a cooling mechanism 225 is also provided at the end of the first robotic arm 222, and the outlet of the cooling mechanism 225 is arranged corresponding to the position of the polishing disc 221. The cooling mechanism 225 can be a water cooling mechanism, that is, spraying cooling water on the polishing disc 221 to cool down the polishing disc 221. The cooling mechanism 225 can also be an air cooling mechanism, blowing air on the polishing disc 221 to cool it down.

[0044] Furthermore, the grinding mechanism 22 includes a first base 226, on which a first driving mechanism 227 is provided. The first driving mechanism 227 can drive the first base 226 to move and adjust along the slide rail 21. A first robotic arm 222 is arranged on the first base 226.

[0045] Preferably, the first driving mechanism 227 includes a first motor, a first gear connected to the motor shaft of the first motor, and a rack arranged on the slide rail 21. The first gear meshes with the rack. The first motor drives the first gear to rotate, and then the first gear can move along the rack, realizing the movement and adjustment of driving the grinding mechanism 22 along the slide rail 21.

[0046] Furthermore, a first rotating seat 228 is arranged at the bottom of the first robotic arm 222. The first rotating seat 228 is arranged on the first base 226 and can be rotationally adjusted, thereby driving the first robotic arm 222 to rotate and adjust. The first rotating seat 228 is preferably driven to rotate by a rotary cylinder or driven to rotate by a motor, a gear, and an internal gear slewing bearing.

[0047] In a specific embodiment of the present utility model, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 shown, the material clamping mechanism 23 includes a second base 235, on which a second driving mechanism 236 is provided. The second driving mechanism 236 can drive the second base 235 to move and adjust along the slide rail 21.

[0048] Preferably, the second driving mechanism 236 includes a second motor and a second gear connected to the motor shaft of the second motor. The second gear meshes with the rack arranged on the slide rail 21. The second motor drives the second gear to rotate, and then the second gear can move along the rack, realizing the movement and adjustment of driving the material clamping mechanism 23 along the slide rail 21.

[0049] Furthermore, the material clamping mechanism 23 further includes a second robotic arm 232 and a jaw seat 233 arranged at the end of the second robotic arm 232. There are two pairs of jaws 231, which are arranged on both sides of the jaw seat 233. The second robotic arm 232 can adjust the position of the jaw seat 233.

[0050] The second robotic arm 232 has a position adjustment function and can realize three-dimensional adjustment in space. It can adjust the position of the jaws 231 to let the jaws 231 clamp the material to be welded and transport the material to be welded to the welding position until the welding operation of the material is completed. The second robotic arm 232 can be a three-axis robotic arm or a six-axis robotic arm.

[0051] Further, a bidirectional telescopic driving member 234 is provided on the jaw seat 233 corresponding to the jaws 231. The driving end of the bidirectional telescopic driving member 234 is correspondingly connected to a pair of jaws 231. The bidirectional telescopic driving member 234 can adjust the clamping distance between a pair of jaws 231 through bidirectional telescopic adjustment. The bidirectional telescopic driving member 234 is preferably a bidirectional electric cylinder or a bidirectional air cylinder.

[0052] Furthermore, a second rotating seat 237 is provided at the bottom of the second robotic arm 232. The second rotating seat 237 is arranged on the second base 235, and the second rotating seat 237 can be rotationally adjusted, thereby driving the second robotic arm 232 to perform rotational adjustment. The second rotating seat 237 is preferably driven to rotate by a rotary air cylinder or driven to rotate by a motor, a gear, and an internal gear slewing bearing.

[0053] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown, the slide rail 21 includes two relatively arranged tracks 211. The tracks 211 are fixedly arranged on the bearing surface through brackets 212, and the outer sides of the tracks 211 are suspended relative to the bearing surface; the bearing surface can be the floor of a workshop or the ground. Combining Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown, a plurality of wheel sets 24 are provided at the bottoms of the grinding mechanism 22 and the material clamping mechanism 23. The wheel set 24 includes an upper wheel 241 located above the track 211, a lower wheel 242 located below the track 211, and a side wheel 243 located on the side of the track 211.

[0054] The side wheels 243 of two opposite wheel sets 24 are located outside the corresponding tracks 211, improving the stability of the movement of the grinding mechanism 22 and the material clamping mechanism 23, and preventing the grinding mechanism 22 and the material clamping mechanism 23 from tipping over.

[0055] In a specific embodiment of the present invention, the welding auxiliary equipment of the present invention further includes a storage rack arranged near the side of the slide rail 21. Materials for forming components are stored on the storage rack. The material clamping mechanism 23 can move to the position of the storage rack, then rotate and adjust to clamp the corresponding material, and then rotate and reset, and move to the placement position of the material to complete the feeding of the material.

[0056] Next, taking the auxiliary welding of the joint plate of the bridge chord as an example, the working process of the component welding auxiliary equipment of the present invention will be described.

[0057] The component welding auxiliary equipment of the present utility model is used to provide auxiliary functions of automatic grinding and automatic feeding for welding operations. When in use, it is placed on one side of the welding operation platform. There is a main box-shaped part of the chord on the welding operation platform, and a plurality of joint plates need to be welded on the outer side surface of one side plate of the box-shaped part. The welding positions of the joint plates are determined according to the design scheme.

[0058] First, move the material clamping mechanism to one end of the slide rail, and move the grinding mechanism to one end of the side plate to be ground. Then, adjust the position of the grinding disc through the first robotic arm to make the grinding disc adhere to the surface of the side plate. Start the drive motor to drive the grinding disc to rotate. The rotation of the grinding disc can grind the surface of the side plate. Start the first drive mechanism to drive the grinding mechanism to move along the slide rail, and the grinding disc also moves on the surface of the side plate, realizing comprehensive grinding of the surface of the side plate. Of course, it is also possible to control the grinding disc to grind only the position where the joint plate needs to be welded.

[0059] During the grinding process, the grinding disc can be cooled by the cooling mechanism.

[0060] To improve the operation efficiency, the grinding mechanism can start grinding from the side close to the material clamping mechanism. Then, when the grinding mechanism moves forward a certain distance, the material clamping mechanism can be started to feed the joint plate. Or the grinding operation can be carried out first, and then the material clamping mechanism can be started to feed after the grinding is completed.

[0061] Start the material clamping mechanism. The first robotic arm can first rotate to one side of the storage rack, adjust the position of the clamping jaw through the second robotic arm, clamp the joint plate with the clamping jaw, and then the first robotic arm rotates back to the original position. Drive the material clamping mechanism to move along the slide rail to the feeding position of the joint plate through the second drive mechanism. The second robotic arm adjusts the position of the joint plate to make the joint plate adhere to the corresponding part of the side plate. Then, the clamping jaw remains in the clamped state, and the joint plate and the side plate are welded. Automatic welding can be carried out by using a welding robot, or manual welding can be carried out. After welding is completed, control the clamping jaw to release the joint plate, and then feed the next joint plate.
