[0034] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] A multi-station welding device, as shown in the figure, includes a positioning unit 200 and a welding unit 300 movably connected on a base 100.

[0037] The combination of the positioning unit 200 and the welding unit 300 provided in this solution can simultaneously complete the welding of both ends of the compressor tank body, replacing manual labor with automation, improving production efficiency, ensuring production quality, and at the same time avoiding safety hazards that are prone to occur during manual operation.

[0038] As shown in the figure, the positioning unit 200 has a first positioning portion 210 fixed at one end of the top of the base 100, a slide rail 110 is set at the other end of the top of the base 100, and a second positioning portion 220 is connected to a slide plate 221 and is slidably connected to the slide rail 110.

[0039] The first positioning portion 210 , as shown in the figure, has a first bracket 211 that limits the first power source 212 to be fixed on the second bracket 213 , and an output end of the first power source 212 is connected to the rotating shaft at the bottom of the first positioning structure 214 through a coupling in the second bracket 213 .

[0040] Both ends of the compressor tank body have been pre-installed before being placed in the device. One end of the compressor tank body is inserted into the first positioning structure 214. The structure in the groove of the first positioning structure 214 fits the bottom cover of the compressor tank body and is a contoured structure.

[0041] The outer periphery of the first positioning structure 214 includes a first opening groove 2141, and the first opening groove 2141 is used to place the gas nozzle on the side of the compression tank body.

[0042] In the structural setting of this solution, the first power source 212 can drive the compressor to rotate 360°, but considering that each customer has different welding requirements in actual use, the first power source 212 is a servo motor in this embodiment. The first power source 212 drives the compressor tank to rotate through the rotating shaft, and different rotation angles can be set in the program.

[0043] In addition, the first power source 212 is also used for fine-tuning before welding.

[0044] During the welding process, the first positioning portion 210 is driven by the first power source 212 to serve as an active traction portion, and the second positioning portion 220 is a passive traction portion.

[0045] As shown in the figure, the second positioning part 220, the second power source 222 is fixed on the limiting plate 120 on the side of the base 100, the power end of the second power source 222 is fixed on the back of the lower end of the third bracket 223, and the third power source 224 is fixed on the side of the upper end of the third bracket 223, and the power end of the third power source 224 is connected to the second positioning structure 225.

[0046] Air nozzles are set on the sides of both ends of the compression tank body. The positions of the air nozzles of different models are different. Through the combination of the second power source 222 and the third power source 224, the second positioning device can move forward and backward or axially as needed when docking with the compression tank body.

[0047] The outer periphery of the second positioning structure 225 includes a second opening groove 2251, and the second opening groove 2251 is used to place the gas nozzle on the side of the compression tank body.

[0048] Under the linkage of the second power source 222, the third bracket 223 on the slide plate 221 drives the second positioning structure 225 to move back and forth on the slide rail 110. The second power source 222 is a translation cylinder in this embodiment.

[0049] Under the linkage of the third power source 224, the second positioning structure 225 rotates clockwise or counterclockwise by a specified number of degrees each time until it avoids the air nozzle at the end of the compressor tank body. The third power source 224 is a rotary cylinder in this embodiment.

[0050] Taking into account some uncommon compression tank bodies, after adjustment by the third power source 224 , the air nozzle still does not turn to align with the second opening slot 2251 . At this time, the first power source 212 is started to adjust the compression tank body until the air nozzle is aligned with the second opening slot 2251 .

[0051] Specifically, one end of the compression tank body is fixed in the first positioning device, and the second positioning structure 225 moves toward the compression tank body under the control of the second power source 222 and the third power source 224. If the air nozzle is still not aligned with the second opening groove 2251 after adjustment of the third power source 224, the first power source 212 is fine-tuned until the assembly is completed.

[0052] As shown in the figure, the welding unit 300 includes a first adjusting portion 310 and a second adjusting portion 320 . The second adjusting portion 320 is fixed on the top of the first adjusting portion 310 , and a welding head 330 is movably connected to the top of the second adjusting portion 320 .

[0053] The first adjustment part 310 and the support plate 311 are fixed with a connecting piece 312 on the back, and the other end of the connecting piece 312 is fixed with the power end of the fourth power source 313 . The connecting rod 314 passes through the bottom of the support plate 311 and is hinged to the shaft seat 130 fixed on the side of the base 100 .

[0054] Under the linkage of the fourth power source 313 , the support plate 311 drives the welding head 330 on the second adjustment portion 320 to perform rough adjustment.

[0055] The second adjustment portion 320 includes two second adjustment frames 322 slidably connected to the first adjustment frame 321 , and the second adjustment frames 322 are movably connected to the welding head 330 .

[0056] The first adjustment frame 321 includes a first rotating shaft 3211 in the middle, and the first adjustment disk 3212 of the first rotating shaft 3211 is set on the side of the first adjustment frame 321. The slider 3221 on the second adjustment frame 322 engages with the first rotating shaft 3211 from the X-axis direction. During the rotation of the first rotating shaft 3211, the slider 3221 is driven to slide on the other first fixed rod 3213, which is used to adjust the position of the welding head 330 in the X-axis direction.

[0057] The second adjustment frame 322 also includes a second rotating shaft 3222 that engages with the slider 3221 in the Y-axis direction. The second adjustment disk 3223 of the second rotating shaft 3222 is set on the top of the second adjustment frame 322. The second adjustment disk 3223 rotates to drive the second adjustment frame 322 to move along the Y-axis on the slider 3221, which is used to adjust the position of the welding head 330 in the Y-axis direction.

[0058] The welding head 330 is fixed on the front side of the second adjustment frame 322 . Driven by the third turntable 331 , the first welding head 330 directly rotates in an axial direction.

[0059] Further explanation based on its usage mechanism:

[0060] One end of the compression tank body is fixed in the first positioning device. The second positioning structure 225 moves toward the compression tank body under the control of the second power source 222 and the third power source 224. If the air nozzle is still not aligned with the second opening groove 2251 after adjustment by the third power source 224, the first power source 212 is fine-tuned until assembly is completed.

[0061] Under the linkage of the fourth power source 313, the support plate 311 drives the welding head 330 on the second adjustment part 320 to perform rough adjustment;

[0062] Manually adjust the first adjustment disk 3212 on the first adjustment frame 321 and the second adjustment disk 3223 on the second adjustment frame 322 to determine the X-axis and Y-axis positions of the welding head 330;

[0063] Manually adjust the third adjustment disk 331 connected to the welding head 330 to determine the axial position;

[0064] The first power source 212 can drive the compressor to rotate 360 ​​degrees to complete welding.

[0065] To sum up, the combination of the positioning unit 200 and the welding unit 300 provided in this solution can simultaneously complete the welding of both ends of the compressor tank body, replacing manual labor with automation, improving production efficiency, ensuring production quality, and at the same time avoiding safety hazards that are prone to occur during manual operation.
