[0029] The following is combined with Figure 1-9 The utility model is further described in detail.
[0030] A positioner chuck device for robot automatic welding of oil pipe flanges, such as Figure 1-9 As shown, it includes a chuck support assembly and a chuck assembly.
[0031] In this embodiment, the chuck support assembly includes a base plate 1, an eccentric support post 2, and a hollow mounting plate 3. One end of the eccentric support post 2 is connected to the outer edge of the base plate 1, and the other end of the eccentric support post 2 is connected to the outer edge of the hollow mounting plate 3. The chuck assembly is mounted on the hollow mounting plate 3, away from the base plate 1. A robot passage opening A 301 is formed at the center of the hollow mounting plate 3. By positioning the eccentric support post 2 at the outer edges of the base plate 1 and the hollow mounting plate 3, a single-column support structure is formed. This creates a suitable gap between the base plate 1 and the hollow mounting plate 3, leaving sufficient operating space for the robot to perform welding operations. The robot's welding gun can simply extend between the base plate 1 and the hollow mounting plate 3 and weld the entire inner side of the oil pipe 002 and the oil pipe flange 001 through the robot passage opening A 301, completing a complete weld seam 003 with one rotation.
[0032] Specifically, if Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, a number of reinforcing ribs 4 are fixedly connected between the eccentric pillar 2 and the base plate 1 and the hollow mounting plate 3 respectively. The eccentric pillar 2, the base plate 1, the hollow mounting plate 3 and the reinforcing ribs 4 form an integrated structure, which can better ensure the supporting strength of the eccentric pillar 2.
[0033] Specifically, if Figure 5-9 As shown, the chuck support assembly in this embodiment includes a central support ring 5, a hollow turntable 6, a chuck finger driving ring 7, four evenly arranged chuck finger limiting plates 8 and four evenly arranged chuck fingers 9.
[0034] The center support ring 5 is screwed to the side of the hollow mounting plate 3 facing away from the base plate 1. The center support ring 5 is located outside the robot access opening A 301. The center of the center support ring 5 forms the robot access opening B. The hollow turntable 6 and the chuck finger drive ring 7 are respectively mounted on the outer circumference of the center support ring 5. The chuck finger drive ring 7 is screwed to the side of the hollow turntable 6 facing away from the base plate 1. The centerlines of the robot access opening A 301, robot access opening B, hollow turntable 6, and chuck finger drive ring 7 are all collinear. This means that the robot access opening B corresponds to the robot access opening A 301, facilitating welding operations using the robot's welding gun inside the chuck support assembly.
[0035] The length direction of each chuck finger 9 is parallel to the radial direction of the chuck finger drive ring 7. A plurality of drive teeth 901 are protruding from the bottom surface of each chuck finger 9. A vortex wire winding groove 701 is provided on the side of the chuck finger drive ring 7 away from the base plate 1, which is respectively matched with and used in conjunction with the drive teeth 901 of each chuck finger 9. Each chuck finger limit plate 8 is respectively installed on the central support ring 5 by screws. A limit groove is formed between each two adjacent chuck finger limit plates 8 for moving the corresponding chuck finger 9 along the radial direction of the chuck finger drive ring 7. In this embodiment, the arrangement of the vortex wire winding groove 701, the drive teeth 901 and the limit groove all adopt the existing technology. By driving the hollow turntable 6 and the chuck clamping finger drive ring 7 to be fixed together and rotate around the center line of the robot through the port A 301, the chuck clamping finger 9 is simultaneously driven to move radially inward and outward along the chuck clamping finger drive ring 7 through the coordinated setting structure of the vortex wire groove 701 and the drive tooth 901, thereby clamping or loosening the oil pipe flange 001.
[0036] Specifically, if Figure 2 and Figure 9 As shown, in this embodiment, both sides of the length direction of each chuck finger 9 are protruded with a lower limit edge A 902, and the edge of each chuck finger limit plate 8 is formed with an upper limit edge 801 for blocking the lower limit edge A 902 of the corresponding chuck finger 9, which can effectively limit the chuck finger 9 and prevent the chuck finger 9 from detaching from the chuck finger drive ring 7, ensuring the stable radial movement of the chuck finger 9 along the chuck finger drive ring 7.
[0037] Specifically, if Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, in this embodiment, each chuck finger 9 has a raised lower limit edge B903 at one end of its longitudinal direction, near the centerline of the robot's insertion port B. This lower limit edge B903 provides axial positioning of the oil pipe flange 002, enabling repeated batch processing of the same oil pipe flange 001 and oil pipe 002. This allows the robot to teach a single program for all identical oil pipe workpieces, making it more convenient and reliable. In this embodiment, the lower limit edge B903 and lower limit edge A902 of the same chuck finger 9 can be continuous for easier processing.
[0038] Specifically, if Figure 1-3 and Figure 5-7As shown, in this embodiment, the outer circumference of the hollow turntable 6 is provided with a toothed surface 601; an outer mounting seat 10 is mounted on the outer side of the hollow mounting plate 3, on which a worm mounting frame 11 is mounted. A worm 12 is rotatably mounted on the inner side of the worm mounting frame 11. The worm 12 is provided with a self-locking thread that meshes with the toothed surface 601 of the hollow turntable 6. One end of the worm 12 extends beyond the worm mounting frame 11 and is connected to a handle 13 for manually controlling the rotation of the worm 12. By rotating the worm 12, the hollow turntable 6 with the toothed surface 601 is driven to rotate, and a self-locking function is achieved. This makes it more suitable for clamping large workpieces weighing over 500 kg. Compared with existing chuck assemblies, the structure is simpler and the clamping effect is more reliable.
