[0002] The working principle of a modular welding robot mainly includes the following core components: the robot body, control cabinet, welding power system, sensors, and end effector (welding gun). When working, the welding robot first needs to plan its task, including how to decompose the welding task into a series of subtasks and plan the execution path for the robot to ensure efficient automated welding. This includes understanding the requirements of the welding task, such as welding position, welding method, and welding speed. The welding robot is equipped with many sensors, such as thermal imagers, laser rangefinders, pressure sensors, and photoelectric sensors. These sensors are used to monitor various parameters in the welding process in real time to ensure the accuracy and stability of the welding process.
[0003] When the end effector at the end of the modular welding robot is installed, the welding gun nozzle is easily adhered by welding spatter. When cleaning, when using tools to clean the residue attached to the welding gun nozzle, the welding gun nozzle is easily damaged. At the same time, if the cleaning is not timely, it will affect the arc stability and reduce the welding quality of the equipment. Utility Model Content
