[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0029] In this embodiment, for the assembly and welding operation of the lock rod and the lock head of the container, a welding positioning device is designed. The lock rod 3 is a hollow steel pipe, and a lock head 16 needs to be installed at each end of the lock rod 3. The structure of the lock head 16 is as Figure 3As shown in the figure, it includes a lock seat connecting part and an insertion rod 165. The insertion rod 165 is cylindrical and is used to be inserted into the lock rod. A limiting disc 166 with a diameter larger than the outer diameter of the insertion rod 165 is formed at the connection between the lock seat connecting part and the insertion rod 165. The lock seat connecting part includes a first fixing block 161 and a second fixing block 162 on the same side, and a third fixing block 163 and a fourth fixing block 164 on the other side. There is a gap between the first fixing block 161 and the second fixing block 162, and the two form a bifurcated structure. There is a gap between the third fixing block 163 and the fourth fixing block 164, and the two also form a bifurcated structure.

[0030] As Figure 1 shown, the whole welding device is composed of the arrangement of multiple mechanisms. In order to simplify the view and highlight the content of the innovative structure of the present utility model, the schematic diagrams of the welding mechanism, the driving mechanism, and the transmission chain are omitted in Figure 1 the figure, and a lock head positioning mechanism is also omitted. The whole welding device mainly consists of a lock rod conveying mechanism, two lock head positioning mechanisms, two welding devices, and a driving mechanism. Among them, the lock rod conveying mechanism is located in the middle. An upper feeding station, a first assembly station, a second assembly station, and a discharging station are sequentially arranged on the top of the lock rod conveying mechanism (taking Figure 1 the rightmost station as the upper feeding station). The lock rod conveying mechanism is used to transfer the lock rod 3 from the upper feeding station to the discharging station in sequence. A lock head positioning mechanism (i.e., the first lock head positioning mechanism) is arranged on one side of the lock rod conveying mechanism near the first assembly station, and a lock head positioning mechanism (i.e., the second lock head positioning mechanism) is arranged on the other side of the lock rod conveying mechanism near the second assembly station. A welding mechanism is arranged beside each lock head positioning mechanism. The first lock head positioning mechanism installs the lock head 16 at one end of the lock rod 3 at the first assembly station, and the second lock head positioning mechanism installs the lock head 16 at the other end of the lock rod 3 at the second assembly station.

[0031] As Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 shown, the lock head positioning mechanism includes a mounting frame 4, a bottom plate 6, a slide rail 7, a propulsion cylinder 5, a slider 8, a slide plate 9, a lock head limiting seat 12, and a lock head feeding mechanism. Among them, the bottom plate 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting frame 4. The slide rail 7 is arranged on the top surface of the bottom plate 6 along the length direction of the lock rod 3. The slider 8 is arranged on the slide rail 7, and the bottom of the slide plate 9 is fixedly connected to the slider 8. Taking Figure 2In the shown direction, a push plate 10 is vertically arranged at the left end of the skateboard 9. The push plate 10 is fixedly connected to the skateboard 9. A lock head limit seat 12 is arranged at the right end of the skateboard 9. A cylinder fixing seat 1 is arranged at the left end of the bottom plate 6. A propulsion cylinder 5 is installed on the cylinder fixing seat 1. The telescopic direction of the push rod 11 of the propulsion cylinder 5 is the same as the length direction of the lock rod 3. The end of the push rod 11 is fixedly connected to the push plate 10. The lock head limit seat 12 is used to receive the lock head 16 that falls from the discharge port of the feeding mechanism. In this embodiment, the limit seat 12 is mainly composed of a base plate at the bottom and four enclosing plates. The base plate is fixed on the skateboard 9. The four enclosing plates are perpendicular to the base plate and enclose a rectangular cavity structure with an open top, as Figure 2 shown. The four enclosing plates are divided into a first enclosing plate and a third enclosing plate which are oppositely arranged, and a second enclosing plate and a fourth enclosing plate which are oppositely arranged. Among them, the third enclosing plate is closest to the lock rod 3. The first enclosing plate is higher than the other three enclosing plates. The first enclosing plate is used to limit the lock seat connecting part of the lock head 16. The top surface of the third enclosing plate forms a concave arc surface. The third enclosing plate is used to support the limit disk 166 of the lock head 16. The first fixing block 161 and the second fixing block 162 of the lock head 16 are supported by the second enclosing plate. The third fixing block 163 and the fourth fixing block 164 of the lock head 16 are supported by the fourth enclosing plate. The insertion rod 165 of the lock head 16 faces the side of the lock rod 3.

[0032] A material supporting seat 15 for supporting the insertion rod 165 is also arranged beside the limit seat 12. The top of the material supporting seat 15 forms a concave arc structure. A material supporting cylinder 14 is arranged at the bottom of the material supporting seat 15. The material supporting cylinder 14 is fixedly installed on the side of the installation bench 4. The push rod of the material supporting cylinder 14 moves up and down telescopically. The push rod of the material supporting cylinder 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the material supporting seat 15. By moving the push rod of the material supporting cylinder 14 upward, the material supporting seat 15 is pushed to support the insertion rod 165 of the lock head 16 that has fallen into the limit seat 12.

[0033] The lock head feeding mechanism is as Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown in the figure, it mainly includes a fixed bracket 13, a feeding trough, and a discharging cylinder. The bottom end of the fixed bracket 13 is fixed on the mounting bench 4. The upper end of the fixed bracket 13 forms a feeding trough. The feeding trough has an inclination relative to the plane where the bottom plate 6 is located. The feeding trough is used to accommodate a plurality of lock heads 16 arranged in sequence. The inclined feeding trough facilitates the lock heads 16 to slide downward along the feeding trough under the action of gravity. Discharging cylinders are respectively arranged on both sides of the discharging port at the lower part of the feeding trough, and the discharging cylinders are used to block or release the lock heads 16 in the feeding trough. In this embodiment, a total of four discharging cylinders are provided, namely a first discharging cylinder 17, a second discharging cylinder 18, a third discharging cylinder 25, and a fourth discharging cylinder 26. Among them, the first discharging cylinder 17 and the third discharging cylinder 25 are arranged on the same side, the second discharging cylinder 18 and the fourth discharging cylinder 26 are arranged on the same side. The cylinder push rod directions of the first discharging cylinder 17 and the third discharging cylinder 25 are the same, and the cylinder push rod direction of the first discharging cylinder 17 is the same as the axis direction of the lock head 16. The cylinder push rod directions of the second discharging cylinder 18 and the fourth discharging cylinder 26 are the same, and the cylinder push rod of the second discharging cylinder 18 is perpendicular to the cylinder push rod of the first discharging cylinder 17.

[0034] The structure of the feeding trough needs to be designed according to the characteristics of the structure of the lock head 16. In this embodiment, the structure of the feeding trough is as Figure 5 shown. A first connecting plate 19 is obliquely arranged at the top end of the fixed bracket 13. Two first fixing brackets 20 are fixedly installed side by side on the left wall of the first connecting plate 19 near the discharging port of the feeding trough. The cross-section of the first fixing bracket 20 is Z-shaped. The second discharging cylinder 18 and the fourth discharging cylinder 26 are respectively installed on the two first fixing brackets 20. Second fixing brackets 21 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends on the right wall of the first connecting plate 19. The cross-section of the second fixing bracket 21 is generally a U-shaped structure with an opening to the left. A distance is left between the first connecting plate 19 and the second fixing bracket 21. The top bottom surfaces of the two second fixing brackets 21 are fixedly connected by a second connecting plate 22. The second connecting plate 22 is relatively upper and lower with the first connecting plate 19 and there is a gap between them. The middle parts of the two second fixing brackets 21 are fixedly connected by a third connecting plate 24. Two third fixing brackets 2 are fixedly installed on the third connecting plate 24 near the discharging port of the feeding trough. The first discharging cylinder 17 and the third discharging cylinder 25 are respectively installed on the two third fixing brackets 2. A limiting plate 23 with a bending structure is fixedly installed on the outer side surface of the second connecting plate 22. The feeding trough is jointly enclosed by the limiting plate 23, the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 24, the second fixing bracket 21, and the first connecting plate 19.

[0035] The lock head 16 is inserted into the feeding port end of the feeding chute, so that the insertion rod 165 of the lock head 16 extends out from the open end of the feeding chute. The second connecting plate 22 and the first connecting plate 19 jointly limit the limiting plate 166 of the lock head 16, and the lock seat connecting part of the lock head 16 is limited in the inner cavity enclosed by the second connecting plate 22, the third connecting plate 24 and the first connecting plate 19. Among the many lock heads 16 arranged in the feeding chute, for the lock head 16 closest to the discharge port, its insertion rod 165 is limited by the push rod extended upward by the second discharging cylinder 18, and the fixing block of its lock seat connecting part is limited by the push rod extended by the first discharging cylinder 17, so that the lock head 16 will not slide down. Similarly, a lock head 16 arranged behind the lock head 16 closest to the discharge port is also jointly limited by the fourth discharging cylinder 26 and the third discharging cylinder 25 at the same time.

[0036] After the lock rod 3 is transferred from the feeding station to the first assembly station, the control system is started to retract the push rods of the first discharging cylinder 17 and the second discharging cylinder 18 at the same time. Under the action of gravity, the lock head 16 closest to the feeding chute naturally slides down and falls into the limiting seat 12 below the discharge port of the feeding chute. Then, the push rod of the material supporting cylinder 14 moves downward to pull the material supporting seat 15 back downward to make space for the assembly of the lock head 16 and the lock rod 3. Then, the control system drives the push rod 11 of the propulsion cylinder 5 to move in the direction close to the lock rod 3. The push rod 11 gradually moves the lock head 16 in the limiting seat 12 close to the end of the lock rod 3 until the insertion rod 165 of the lock head 16 is inserted into the lock rod 3 and stops. In order to prevent the position of the lock rod 3 at the assembly station from moving when assembling the lock head 16, a vertical limiting plate can be arranged at the other end corresponding to the assembly station to block the lock rod 3. For a lock head arranged behind the already-slid lock head 16 in the feeding chute, due to the limitation of the third discharging cylinder 25 and the fourth discharging cylinder 26, the remaining lock heads 16 arranged in the feeding chute will not slide down. After completing the assembly of the lock head 16 and the lock rod 3 once, all the above cylinders are reset. After the push rods of the first discharging cylinder 17 and the second discharging cylinder 18 are reset, the push rods of the third discharging cylinder 25 and the fourth discharging cylinder 26 are driven to retract, so that the arranged lock heads 16 move down one position in sequence, and then the push rods of the third discharging cylinder 25 and the fourth discharging cylinder 26 are made to extend again to wait for the next assembly instruction.

[0037] The lock rod conveying mechanism in this embodiment is as Figures 6 to 8As shown in the figure, it mainly includes a frame-type main jig 27 and a connecting rod assembly disposed in the inner cavity of the main jig 27. Among them, a pushing mechanism frame 28 is fixedly installed at the top of each side of the main jig 27 facing the locking head positioning mechanism. Four positioning bottom blocks 29 are arranged side by side and at intervals on each pushing mechanism frame 28. The bottom of the positioning bottom blocks 29 is fixed on the pushing mechanism frame 28, so that the positioning bottom blocks 29 between the two pushing mechanism frames 28 are opposite to each other in pairs. The top of the positioning bottom block 29 forms a concave arc surface. Each group of opposite positioning bottom blocks 29 constitutes a corresponding working station. When the locking rod 3 is placed on each working station, as Figure 6 shown, both ends of the locking rod 3 are respectively supported and limited by the arc-shaped concave surfaces of the two positioning bottom blocks 29.

[0038] The structure of the connecting rod assembly is as Figure 7 and Figure 8 shown, and mainly includes a connecting rod bottom plate 35, a blanking rack 30, a rectangular connecting frame 31, and four rotating assemblies 33. The connecting rod bottom plate 35 is fixed on the main jig 27. A bearing seat 32 is fixedly installed at each of the four corners of the connecting rod bottom plate 35. A bearing and a transmission shaft 331 are installed on the upper part of each bearing seat 32, and a double-row sprocket 34 is installed on the transmission shaft 331. The connecting frame 31 is suspended above the connecting rod bottom plate 35 and is located in the inner cavity surrounded by the four bearing seats 32. A blanking rack 30 is fixedly installed on the outer walls of the two opposite sides of the connecting frame 31. A concave notch is formed at the top of the blanking rack 30 corresponding to each positioning bottom block 29. Bearings and bearing fixing seats 334 are fixedly installed at both lower ends of the blanking rack 30. Each bearing seat 32 is opposite to the bearing and the bearing fixing seat 334, and a set of rotating assemblies 33 is provided between the two. The rotating assembly 33 includes a connecting rod 332. One end of the connecting rod 332 is hinged to the transmission shaft 331, and the other end of the connecting rod 332 is hinged to a fixed shaft 333. The other end of the fixed shaft 333 is connected to the bearing and the bearing fixing seat 334. The two double-row sprockets 34 on the same side are connected by a transmission chain. The driving mechanism drives the transmission chain through a motor gear set, and the connecting rod assembly can be driven by the transmission chain to rotate counterclockwise or clockwise in a vertical plane, so as to sequentially complete the lifting and position transfer of the locking rod 3 at the four working stations.
