Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of laser welding, in particular to a full-automatic loading and unloading mechanism for a laser welding machine. Background Technique
[0002] A laser welding machine, also often called a laser welder or a laser beam welder, is a machine used for laser material processing. It is divided into a laser die welder, an automatic laser welding machine, a laser spot welder, and a fiber-optic transmission laser welding machine according to its working mode. Laser welding uses a high-energy laser pulse to locally heat a small area of the material. The energy of the laser radiation diffuses into the interior of the material through heat conduction, melting the material to form a specific molten pool to achieve the purpose of welding. When the existing laser welding machine works, it is necessary for workers to manually pick up the parts to be processed, which is prone to danger during processing. Picking up the parts to be processed back and forth will affect the work efficiency and is time-consuming and laborious.
[0003] An automatic loading and unloading device for a laser welding machine disclosed in the existing patent (publication number: CN208019620U) includes a device body. The device body includes two opposite cross plates. First hydraulic cylinders are fixedly connected to both cross plates. Connecting rods are fixedly connected to the front and rear parts of both cross plates. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the upper ends of the same-side connecting rods. Chutes are provided on the connecting plates. The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows: By setting two cross plates equipped with first hydraulic cylinders, a second hydraulic cylinder is arranged inside the secondary rod of the utility model. A push rod with a push plate is arranged on the second hydraulic cylinder of the utility model. The first hydraulic cylinder of the utility model is fixedly connected to the cross bar. Both ends of the cross bar are slidably connected to the chutes provided on the connecting plate through sliders. The utility model realizes the automatic loading and unloading of the laser welding machine by using the back-and-forth movement of the first hydraulic cylinder and the up-and-down movement of the second hydraulic cylinder.
[0004] However, there are still certain defects in the above technical solution. The above technical solution moves the workpiece to be processed to the lower part of the welding machine for welding by means of clamping and moving. However, when the laser welding machine is welding, the heat-affected area is small, and only local heating of a small area is performed on the workpiece. This makes the laser welding machine often used for welding some relatively thin sheet workpieces. The clamping method in the above technical solution is not convenient for loading and unloading relatively thin sheet workpieces, and there are strong limitations in the use process. Therefore, a full-automatic loading and unloading mechanism for a laser welding machine is proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. The embodiments described below by referring to the drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the present utility model.
[0026] According to the overall structure of the present utility model, embodiments thereof will be described below.
[0027] A fully automatic loading and unloading mechanism for a laser welding machine, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, includes a base 1. A loading mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to a position on one side near the top of the base 1. A welding arm 4 is installed on the top of the base 1, and the welding arm 4 is located beside the loading mechanism 2;
[0028] The loading mechanism 2 includes two groups of support frames 201. A conveyor belt 202 is installed between the two groups of support frames 201. A plurality of through holes are formed on the surface of the conveyor belt 202. A negative pressure chamber 203 located inside the conveyor belt 202 is fixedly connected between the two groups of support frames 201. The top of the negative pressure chamber 203 is slidably sleeved on the outer wall of the conveyor belt 202. An air inlet 204 is formed at a position where the top of the negative pressure chamber 203 contacts the conveyor belt 202. A plurality of first negative pressure fans 205 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the negative pressure chamber 203. The first negative pressure fans 205 are located directly below the air inlet 204. One air outlet 206 is formed on each side of the negative pressure chamber 203. A plurality of second negative pressure fans 207 are fixedly installed on each side of the negative pressure chamber 203. The second negative pressure fans 207 are respectively aligned with the two air outlets 206. Filter cotton 208 is fixedly connected to a position on the inner wall of the negative pressure chamber 203 corresponding to the air outlet 206. Activated carbon 209 is arranged on the inner wall of the negative pressure chamber 203.
[0029] The workpiece is pushed and moved to directly above the negative pressure chamber 203 by the rotation of the conveyor belt 202. During use, the welding arm 4 can be replaced with other laser welding machines according to specific requirements. The first negative pressure fans 205 and the second negative pressure fans 207 continuously suck air from the air inlet 204 and then exhaust it from the air outlets 206, so that a large amount of air is continuously sucked into the negative pressure chamber 203 from the air inlet 204, thereby enabling the workpiece to be adsorbed on the conveyor belt 202 through the through holes on the conveyor belt 202. At this time, the conveyor belt 202 stops rotating. After welding is completed, the conveyor belt 202 continues to rotate to move the next workpiece to directly above the air inlet. During the welding process, the toxic smoke generated during welding is sucked into the negative pressure chamber 203, and then the toxic smoke is filtered by the activated carbon 209 and the filter cotton 208, ensuring the safety of the staff.
[0030] Please refer specifically to Figure 2 and Figure 3, a collecting mechanism 3 is arranged above the two groups of the support frames 201. The collecting mechanism 3 includes a material guiding plate 301 which is rotatably connected to the side wall of one group of the support frames 201. A connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the other group of the support frames 201. At one side near the top end of the connecting plate 302, a sliding frame 303 is fixedly connected. An outer wall of the sliding frame 303 is slidably sleeved with a push rod 304. A top end of the push rod 304 is rotatably connected to a clamping plate 305. The clamping plate 305 is slidably sleeved at a bottom end of the material guiding plate 301. A plurality of groups of limiting teeth 306 are fixedly connected to the top end of the connecting plate 302. The plurality of groups of limiting teeth 306 are located beside the sliding frame 303. A limiting arm 307 is rotatably connected to a side wall of the push rod 304. The limiting arm 307 is engaged with the limiting teeth 306. A torsion spring is arranged at a connection part of the limiting arm 307 and the push rod 304. A collecting frame 308 is fixedly connected to a top end of the base 1. The collecting frame 308 is located beside the feeding mechanism 2 and the welding arm 4.
[0031] With the pushing of the conveyor belt 202, the workpiece contacts the material guiding plate 301. At this time, the workpiece slides along the material guiding plate 301 and falls into the collecting frame 308. By pushing the limiting arm 307, the limiting arm 307 is separated from the limiting teeth 306 and the torsion spring is twisted. At this time, the push rod 304 can freely slide on the outer wall of the sliding frame 303. Then, the push rod 304 is pushed, so that the push rod 304 drives the clamping plate 305 to move. The clamping plate 305 pushes the material guiding plate 301 to rotate. And because the material guiding plate 301 rotates, the clamping plate 305 rotates with the push rod 304. During the rotation of the material guiding plate 301, the clamping plate 305 slides at the bottom end of the material guiding plate 301, so that the material guiding plate 301 can be adjusted according to the usage situation.
[0032] During use, by placing the workpiece on the top end of the conveyor belt 202 and using the conveyor belt 202 to move the workpiece, when the workpiece moves above the air inlet 204, the thin workpiece is tightly adsorbed on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 202 by the negative pressure inside the negative pressure chamber 203, so as to fix the workpiece. In this way, during the welding process, the workpiece can be conveniently moved and fixed. Parts not involved in this device are the same as or can adopt the prior art to be realized.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present utility model have been shown and described, the specific embodiments are only interpretations of the present utility model and are not limitations thereof. The specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in a suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make modifications, substitutions and variations that do not make creative contributions to the embodiments as needed, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by the patent law.
