Detailed implementation manners
[0023] The following is further described in detail in conjunction with the attached Figure 1-6 drawings to this application.
[0024] An embodiment of this application discloses a welding workstation for structural parts of a self-deforming tire type rail vehicle. Refer to Figure 1-6, A self-deforming tire-type track vehicle structural part welding workstation, including a base 1. At the front side of the upper surface of the base 1, a head-tail type positioner 9 is arranged. On the surface of the head-tail type positioner 9, multiple groups of first work clamps 10 are arranged. At the rear side of the upper surface of the base 1, an L-type positioner 7 is arranged. On the L-type positioner 7, a second work clamp 13 is arranged. On the upper surface of the base 1, dust removal brackets 3 are symmetrically arranged. On both dust removal brackets 3, electric slide rails 4 are arranged. Between the two electric slide rails 4, a movable dust removal cover 6 is jointly arranged. On the upper surface of the base 1, a dust removal box 12 is arranged. The dust removal box 12 is connected to the movable dust removal cover 6 through a dust removal pipe 5. Inside the movable dust removal cover 6, a robotic arm 14 is arranged. On the robotic arm 14, a welding torch 15 is arranged. On the upper surface of the base 1, a welding machine configuration 8 is arranged. The welding machine configuration 8 is electrically connected to the electric slide rail 4 and the robotic arm 14 respectively; during use, the operator first clamps a product on the second work clamp 13 of the L-type positioner 7, and then presses the start button on the welding machine configuration 8, so that the welding operation can start with the welding torch 15 on the robotic arm 14. At this time, the welding machine configuration 8 can drive the movable dust removal cover 6 to move by controlling the electric slide rail 4, move the movable dust removal cover 6 above the welding position, and then dust removal operation can be carried out through the dust removal pipe 5 and the dust removal box 12. And at this time, the operator goes to the head-tail type positioner 9 on the other side, puts the loose parts on the first work clamp 10, and after clamping, at this time, the product on the L-type positioner 7 is almost welded. When the product on the head-tail type positioner 9 is clamped, press the start button again. After the robotic arm 14 and the welding torch 15 finish welding the product on the L-type positioner 7, they will immediately follow the movable dust removal cover 6 to come and weld the product on the head-tail type positioner 9, reducing the waiting time of the welding torch 15. When the welding torch 15 comes to weld the product on the head-tail type positioner 9, at this time, the operator can unload the product on the L-type positioner 7 and then install the next product, and operate in turn. During this process, the L-type positioner 7 and the head-tail type positioner 9 are mainly used to adjust the welding angle and position direction of the workpiece to ensure the welding process and welding quality of the product. The robotic arm 14 and the welding machine configuration 8 are used to replace manual welding operations. The welding torch 15 is installed on the robotic arm 14 to weld the product, which can ensure the stability during welding, and at the same time reduce the problems of manual labor and lack of manpower. The first work clamp 10 and the second work clamp 13 can ensure the dimensional accuracy of the product. The first work clamp 10 and the second work clamp 13 are both welding and integrated clamps, and the loose parts can be directly fed for welding without manual spot welding. And through the electric slide rail 4, the movable dust removal cover 6 can be driven to move, and then move above the position where the robotic arm 14 welds according to the welding position, so as to carry out dust removal operation, ensure the comfort of the working environment, and prevent the welding fumes from polluting the environment.
[0025] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2, safety fences 2 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the base 1; thus, the safety of the operators can be ensured.
[0026] Refer to Figure 2 , a safety light curtain 11 is arranged on the safety fence 2; the safety light curtain 11 can detect when a person or an object enters the preset fence area. Once a person attempts to cross the area covered by the safety light curtain 11, the system will immediately issue an alarm and stop the operation of the relevant machine or equipment to prevent accidental injury or damage.
[0027] Refer to Figure 4 , multiple groups of first tooling fixtures 10 are evenly distributed on the surface of the head-tail type positioner 9.
[0028] Refer to Figure 1-3 , the dust removal pipe 5 is made of a corrugated pipe; the corrugated pipe has good structural strength and pressure resistance, as well as better flexibility and bendability.
[0029] The implementation principle of the welding workstation for the self-deforming tire-type rail vehicle structural parts in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: When the electrical components appearing in the present application are used, they are externally connected to a power source and a control switch. During use, the operator first clamps a product on the second tooling fixture 13 of the L-type positioner 7, and then presses the start button on the welding machine configuration 8, so that the welding operation can start with the welding torch 15 on the robotic arm 14. At this time, the welding machine configuration 8 can drive the movable dust hood 6 to move through the control of the electric slide rail 4, move the movable dust hood 6 above the welding position, and then the dust removal operation can be carried out through the dust removal pipe 5 and the dust removal box 12. And at this time, the operator goes to the head-tail type positioner 9 on the other side and puts the loose parts on the first tooling fixture 10. After clamping, at this time, the product on the L-type positioner 7 is almost welded. When the product on the head-tail type positioner 9 is clamped, press the start button again. After the robotic arm 14 and the welding torch 15 finish welding the product on the L-type positioner 7, they will immediately follow the movable dust hood 6 to come and weld the product on the head-tail type positioner 9, reducing the waiting time of the welding torch 15. When the welding torch 15 comes to weld the product on the head-tail type positioner 9, at this time, the operator can unload the product on the L-type positioner 7 and then install the next product, and operate in turn.
