[0036] Embodiment
[0037] Refer to Figures 1 - 3, this embodiment provides a truss beam assembly tooling, including a workbench 1, a cross-bar limiting plate 3 fixedly arranged on the top of the workbench 1, a vertical-bar limiting plate, and an inclined-bar limiting plate 6; preferably, the workbench 1 is a rectangular plate-like structure, the top surface of the workbench 1 is the working surface, and the working surface is a plane. The truss beam includes a cross bar, a vertical bar, and an inclined bar.
[0038] A number of the vertical-bar limiting plates and the inclined-bar limiting plates 6 are arranged in sequence between the cross-bar limiting plates 3. Specifically, the cross-bar limiting plate 3, the vertical-bar limiting plate, and the inclined-bar limiting plate 6 are correspondingly installed at the corresponding positions on the working surface according to the positions and arrangements on the drawing, and the cross-bar limiting plate 3, the vertical-bar limiting plate, and the inclined-bar limiting plate 6 are vertically arranged on the workbench 1. Among them, the arrangement of the cross-bar limiting plate 3 is arranged according to the arrangement of the cross bar on the drawing, the arrangement of the vertical-bar limiting plate is arranged according to the arrangement of the vertical bar on the drawing, and the arrangement of the inclined-bar limiting plate 6 is arranged according to the arrangement of the inclined bar on the drawing. Generally speaking, the cross-bar limiting plate 3, the vertical-bar limiting plate, and the inclined-bar limiting plate 6 on this assembly tooling are arranged, placed, and fixed according to the self-structure of the truss beam.
[0039] At least two cross-bar limiting plates 3 are provided and arranged in parallel with each other. The cross-bar limiting plate 3 is provided with a cross-bar limiting groove along its axial direction, and the cross-bar limiting groove is used for placing the cross bar of the truss beam. Specifically, the cross-bar limiting groove is opened on the top surface of the cross-bar limiting plate 3.
[0040] A number of vertical-bar limiting plates and inclined-bar limiting plates 6 are arranged between two adjacent cross-bar limiting plates 3. As Figure 1 shown, the cross-bar limiting plate 3, the vertical-bar limiting plate, and the inclined-bar limiting plate 6 are arranged in sequence. The vertical-bar limiting plate is provided with a vertical-bar limiting groove along its axial direction, the vertical-bar limiting groove is used for placing the vertical bar of the truss beam, the inclined-bar limiting plate is provided with an inclined-bar limiting groove along its axial direction, the inclined-bar limiting groove is used for placing the inclined bar of the truss beam, and the cross-bar limiting groove, the vertical-bar limiting groove, and the inclined-bar limiting groove are communicated with each other. Specifically, the vertical-bar limiting groove is opened on the top surface of the vertical-bar limiting plate, the inclined-bar limiting groove is opened on the top surface of the inclined-bar limiting plate 6, and the openings of the cross-bar limiting groove, the vertical-bar limiting groove, and the inclined-bar limiting groove all face upward, which is convenient for placing the cross bar, the vertical bar, and the inclined bar.
[0041] The truss beam is composed of two cross bars, multiple vertical bars, multiple diagonal bars, flanges at the ends, and longitudinal connecting flanges welded together. In the prior art, the cross bars, vertical bars, diagonal bars, flanges at the ends, and longitudinal connecting flanges were all assembled and welded manually one by one without the aid of a teaming tooling. In this application, even if only the cross bar limiting plate 3, the vertical bar limiting plate, and the diagonal bar limiting plate 6 are used to achieve the pairing of the cross bars, vertical bars, and diagonal bars, although only the unified pairing of a part of the structure in the truss beam is completed, compared with the prior art, it can reduce the manual labor amount and at least improve the unified assembly of the cross bars, vertical bars, and diagonal bars in the truss beam, that is, at least improve the degree of unity of this part of the structure (the degree of unity is the degree of unified assembly). For the remaining part in the truss beam (such as the flanges at the ends and the longitudinal connecting flanges), the operator needs to assemble and weld them one by one.
[0042] Based on this, in this embodiment, only two cross bar limiting plates 3 are arranged on the workbench 1. An end flange positioning plate 2 is arranged at the end of the cross bar limiting plate 3. The end flange positioning plate 2 is used to install the flanges at both ends of the truss beam. A longitudinal connecting flange positioning plate 7 is also arranged on the workbench 1. The longitudinal connecting flange positioning plate 7 is used for the installation of the longitudinal connecting flanges of the truss beam. It should be noted that the end flange positioning plate 2 and the longitudinal connecting flange positioning plate 7 are also arranged according to the layout of the flanges at the ends and the longitudinal connecting flanges in the truss beam in the drawing. Specifically, the layout of the end flange positioning plate 2 and the longitudinal connecting flange positioning plate 7 is as Figure 1 shown.
[0043] The longitudinal connecting flange positioning plate 7 and the end flange positioning plate 2 are vertically arranged on the workbench 1. The end flange positioning plate 2 is provided with a plurality of bolt holes. The bolt holes on the end flange positioning plate 2 correspond to and are coaxial with the holes on the flange one by one.
[0044] At the top of the workbench 1 and corresponding to the flanges of the truss beam, a flange quick clamp 8 is provided. The connecting plate 801 of the flange quick clamp is fixed to the workbench 1. The telescopic rod 802 of the flange quick clamp is used to press against the flange at the end of the truss beam, so as to fix the flange at the end of the truss beam.
[0045] The number of the flange quick clamps 8 is the same as the number of the cross bar limiting plates 3, that is, two flange quick clamps 8 are provided, and the two flange quick clamps 8 are arranged at the same end of the two cross bar limiting plates 3, as Figure 1 shown.
[0046] A plurality of cross bar quick clamps 9 are arranged at the top of the workbench 1. The connecting plate 901 of the cross bar quick clamp is fixed to the workbench 1. The telescopic rod 902 of the cross bar quick clamp is used to press against the cross bar of the truss beam and fix the cross bar of the truss beam in the cross bar limiting groove. Specifically, as Figure 1, four pieces of the crossbar quick clamps 9 are arranged on each side of the truss (both sides in the longitudinal direction).
[0047] It should be noted that the flange quick clamps 8 and the crossbar quick clamps 9 adopt the same quick clamps. The structure of the quick clamps includes a connecting plate and a telescopic rod, as Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown.
[0048] Specifically, the vertical rod limiting plate is divided into a first vertical rod limiting plate 4 and a second vertical rod limiting plate 5. The cross-section of the vertical rod limiting groove on the first vertical rod limiting plate 4 is semicircular or arc-shaped, and the diameter of the semicircle or arc is the same as the diameter of the circular vertical rod for placing the circular vertical rod or the round tube vertical rod. The cross-section of the vertical rod limiting groove on the second vertical rod limiting plate 5 is U-shaped. The U-shaped groove includes a first vertical surface, a first flat surface, and a second vertical surface connected in sequence. The first vertical surface and the second vertical surface are parallel to each other and perpendicular to the first flat surface respectively. The width of the first flat surface is equal to the width of the square vertical rod for placing the square vertical rod or the square tube vertical rod.
[0049] The principle of the truss beam assembly tooling of the present application is as follows:
[0050] The flanges at both ends of the truss beam are arranged on the end flange positioning plate 2 with pin shafts. The crossbar of the truss beam is placed in the crossbar limiting groove of the crossbar limiting plate 3, and the crossbar is fixed to the crossbar limiting plate 3 through the crossbar quick clamp 9; the longitudinal connecting flange of the truss beam is arranged on the longitudinal connecting flange positioning plate 7 and fixed with a pin shaft; the circular vertical rods, square vertical rods, and diagonal rods of the truss beam are sequentially placed in the vertical rod limiting grooves of the first vertical rod limiting plate 4, the vertical rod limiting grooves of the second vertical rod limiting plate 5, and the diagonal rod limiting grooves of the diagonal rod limiting plate 6; then the worker performs welding according to the requirements. After the assembly is completed, the crossbar quick clamp 9, the flange quick clamp 8, and the pin shafts for limiting are loosened, and the finished product is taken out. In this way, the quality and size of the assembled truss beam assembly are unified and meet the customer's requirements. Through this truss beam assembly tooling, manual labor can be reduced, the fatigue degree of operators can be reduced, the assembly uniformity of the truss beam can be improved or ensured, and the quality hidden dangers of the product can be reduced or eliminated.
[0051] It should be noted that: during the above welding operation, automatic welding can also be performed by a welding robot. Since the positions of each welding joint are fixed during welding, the welding can be completed by setting a program in the welding robot to replace manual labor (the specific structure of the welding robot here is not described in detail as a supplementary explanation).
[0052] The beneficial effects of the technical solution of the present utility model are:
[0053] The present application provides a truss beam assembly tooling. According to the positions and arrangements of the cross bars, vertical bars, diagonal bars, end flanges and longitudinal connection flanges on the truss beam in the drawing, the cross bar limit plates 3, vertical bar limit plates, diagonal bar limit plates 6, end flange positioning plates 2 and longitudinal connection flange positioning plates 7 are correspondingly arranged on the workbench 1 according to the drawing. Correspondingly, the cross bars are placed in the cross bar limit grooves of each cross bar limit plate 3, the vertical bars are placed in the vertical bar limit grooves of each vertical bar limit plate, the diagonal bars are placed in the diagonal bar limit grooves of each diagonal bar limit plate 6, the end flanges are placed on the end flange positioning plates 2, and the longitudinal connection flanges are placed on the longitudinal connection flange positioning plates 7 to achieve the positioning of each component in the truss beam. Then, the operator or the welding robot welds all the joints of the cross bars, vertical bars, diagonal bars, end flanges and longitudinal connection flanges to complete the assembly of the truss beam; the assembly tooling is equivalent to a mold for batch production. Therefore, when assembling each truss beam, only by correspondingly placing the cross bars, vertical bars, diagonal bars, end flanges and longitudinal connection flanges and welding them to each other, the manual labor amount can be reduced and the fatigue degree of the operator can be lowered. At the same time, the assembly uniformity of the truss beam can be improved or ensured (each assembled truss beam is basically the same or exactly the same, with unified dimensions), and the quality hidden dangers of the product can be reduced or eliminated.
