Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of oil cylinder processing, and particularly relates to a pre-positioning device for the welding operation of an oil cylinder barrel. Background Technique

[0002] In the hydraulic system of a forklift oil cylinder, the actuators are mainly divided into hydraulic motors and hydraulic cylinders. Among them, the lifting oil cylinder in the forklift hydraulic system is used to drive the fork teeth to lift the goods up and down. The lifting oil cylinder is the main actuator in the forklift oil cylinder hydraulic system.

[0003] The elbow joint on the lifting oil cylinder is mainly used for oil return and exhaust. The contact surface between the outer circle of the elbow joint welded to the cylinder barrel is a skew line. During welding, it is necessary to ensure that the strength and tightness of the weld seam meet the product use requirements. Previously, manual electrode welding was always used for the operation. The welding process was uncontrollable. The leakage rate during the post-weld airtightness test was 5-10%. The leaking lifting oil cylinder body needed to be ground and repaired by welding. The production cycle was long and the cost was high. Using the existing automatic welding equipment for elbow joints and cooperating with a robotic arm to achieve batch automatic welding production, the leakage rate during the pressure test detection was less than 0.2%. The welding process was of stable quality, the efficiency was increased by 20%, the production cycle was shortened, and the cost of repair welding was greatly reduced.

[0004] However, the robotic arm of the existing automatic welding equipment has very precise requirements for the initial position point before welding the elbow joint. If there is a deviation in the initial position, subsequent welding will cause a large degree of deviation. Now, through the method of manual visual alignment and manual electrode welding, not only is the efficiency low, but also the post-weld appearance forming difference is large, the process is unstable, and the leakage rate during the subsequent airtightness test is relatively high, which is not conducive to batch welding production operations.

[0012] Furthermore, the pre-positioning component further includes a spring. The spring is sleeved on the guide post. The upper end of the spring abuts against the guide sleeve, and the lower end of the spring abuts against the positioning plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the pre-positioning component further includes a limit plate. The limit plate is vertically and fixedly connected to the positioning plate. A U-shaped groove is formed on the upper end surface of the limit plate. The limit plate is located between the guide post and the working station of the processing bed body.

[0014] Furthermore, the groove width of the U-shaped groove is 0.04 - 0.07 mm larger than the diameter of the positioning shaft, and the fitting clearance between the guide post and the guide sleeve is 0.03 - 0.06 mm.

[0015] Furthermore, a tapered surface guide is provided on the side wall of the end head of the positioning shaft.

[0016] Furthermore, a number of V-shaped blocks are fixedly connected to the working station of the processing bed body at intervals in sequence. The arrangement direction of the number of V-shaped blocks is the same as the length direction of the cylinder barrel of the oil cylinder. A V-shaped groove for restricting the circumferential rotation of the cylinder barrel of the oil cylinder is provided on the V-shaped block.

[0017] Furthermore, the pre-positioning component further includes a bracket. The positioning plate is fixedly connected to the processing bed body through the bracket.

[0018] After adopting such a structure, the pre-positioning device for the welding operation of the oil cylinder barrel takes the oil passage hole of the cylinder barrel as the benchmark, conveniently and quickly fixes the cylinder barrel, and determines the initial position point before welding of the bent joint, realizing the automatic welding of the bent joint and the cylinder barrel, with small error and high efficiency.

[0019] In addition, during production change, when the diameter of the cylinder barrel and the position of the positioning hole change, adjust the positions of the corresponding horizontal bottom plate and the positioning pin hole, and the height difference in the diameter direction can be compensated by using the spring. The limiting device is connected to the positioning threaded hole of the horizontal bottom plate, and the replacement is convenient and fast, greatly shortening the production change time in the multi-variety and small-batch production mode.

[0020] The overall mechanism positioning accuracy of the pre-positioning device for the welding operation of the oil cylinder barrel is accurate to meet the requirements of repeated welding positioning.

It can cooperate with the robotic arm to realize the welding of cylinder barrel products such as bent pipes of hydraulic cylinders. It can quickly change production and weld for multiple varieties and small batches, and has a wide range of compatible products. The device is simple to process and has strong practicability.

Two V-shaped blocks 110 are fixedly connected in sequence and at intervals on the working station of the processing bed body 100. The arrangement direction of the two V-shaped blocks 110 is consistent with the length direction of the cylinder barrel 300 of the oil cylinder. The V-shaped blocks 110 are provided with V-shaped grooves 111 for restricting the circumferential rotation of the cylinder barrel 300 of the oil cylinder.

[0033] The pre-positioning component is arranged beside the working station of the processing bed body 100. The pre-positioning component includes a positioning plate 220, a guide post 230, a guide sleeve 240, a spring 250, a limiting plate 260, a bracket 210 and a positioning shaft 270.

[0034] The bracket 210 is welded and fixed on the processing bed body 100. The positioning plate 220 is fixedly connected to the bracket 210 by bolts. The guide post 230 is vertically welded and fixed on the positioning plate 220. The guide sleeve 240 is sleeved on the guide post 230, and the guide sleeve 240 can freely rotate circumferentially along the guide post 230 and can freely move circumferentially along the guide post 230. The spring 250 is sleeved on the guide post 230. The upper end of the spring 250 abuts against the guide sleeve 240, and the lower end of the spring 250 abuts against the positioning plate 220.

[0035] On the upper end surface of the limiting plate 260, a U-shaped groove 261 is opened. The limiting plate 260 is located between the guide post 230 and the working station of the processing bed body 100.
