In addition, welding operations usually involve high temperatures and harmful gases. The use of robots can reduce the need for personnel to be exposed to these hazardous environments, reduce safety risks in the workplace, and protect the health and safety of workers.

[0048] Unless otherwise specifically stated, the relative arrangement of the parts and steps, the numerical expressions and the numerical values described in these embodiments do not limit the scope of the present invention. At the same time, it should be clear that, for ease of description, the sizes of the various parts shown in the drawings are not drawn according to the actual proportional relationship. The techniques, methods and equipment known to ordinary technicians in the relevant fields may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, the techniques, methods and equipment should be considered as part of the authorization specification. In all examples shown and discussed here, any specific values should be interpreted as being merely exemplary and not as limitations. Therefore, other examples of the exemplary embodiments may have different values. It should be noted that similar numbers and letters represent similar items in the following figures, and therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further discussed in subsequent figures.
[0049] In the description of the present invention, it needs to be understood that the directions or positional relationships indicated by directional words such as "front, back, up, down, left, right", "horizontal, vertical, vertical, horizontal" and "top, bottom" are usually based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description. Unless otherwise specified, these directional words do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction or be constructed and operated in a specific direction.

[0070] The working principle of this utility model is as follows:
[0071] By controlling the inner wheel 10 to rotate forward, the crawler track 5 rotates forward, causing the body 1 to move forward. The electric push rod pushes forward, causing the fixed screw 13 to translate within the guide groove on the rear side of the upper surface of the body 1, driving the slide rod 7 to translate within the guide grooves 4 on both sides of the track cover 6, thereby driving the driving link 2 to move upward, and the driven link 3 to move accordingly. The scissor-type telescopic mechanism can be extended, realizing the robot's variable diameter function. At the same time, the huge friction provided by the electric push rod enables the robot to operate in vertical pipes, greatly improving the robot's applicability and application value.
[0072] The first bevel gear 17 is driven to rotate forward by the forward rotation of the motor 19, meshing with the second bevel gear 18, driving the first lead screw 14 to rotate forward. The rotation of the first lead screw 14 drives the first trapezoidal lead screw nut 15 and the second trapezoidal lead screw nut 16 to rotate, thereby realizing the extension and retraction of the rear wheel. By pressing against the pipe wall, the scissor-type extension mechanism is miniaturized to realize the rotation of the robot in the pipe, thereby increasing the welding area and improving the flexibility of welding.
[0073] The material block 31 is driven to move parallel in the storage bin 32 by the spring 33, and the material block 31 can always be kept at the front end of the storage bin 32. The position and posture are calculated by the robot arm 38, and the material block 31 can be accurately grasped. The second screw 35 is rotated in the forward direction, driving the second guide rail 37 to move toward the front end of the fuselage 1 until the robot arm 38 is completely out of the fuselage 1. The posture is adjusted by the robot arm 38 to send the material block 31 to the welding gun 30 at the front end of the end effector 27 below. By controlling the different speeds and directions of the parallel large slider 24 and the first parallel small slider 26 and the second parallel small slider 25, the first parallel connecting rod 29 and the second parallel connecting rod 28 can be driven to perform different movements, which can make the welding area more precise and the welding effect better.

Any technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, which should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
