Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to high-end equipment welding equipment, in particular to a gear ring positioner. Background Art
[0002] The positioner is a special welding auxiliary equipment, suitable for welding position adjustment in rotary work to obtain the ideal processing position and welding speed. The welding positioner is generally composed of a worktable rotation mechanism and a flip mechanism. Through the lifting, flipping and rotation of the worktable, the workpiece fixed on the worktable can reach the required welding and assembly angle. The worktable rotation is variable frequency stepless speed regulation, which can obtain a satisfactory welding speed. The existing welding table is generally used for welding small tubular objects.
[0003] Traditional welding structures all fix the workpiece on the rotating end of the device, and drive the workpiece to rotate by rotating the rotating end. However, in the case of large workpieces, it is often difficult to drive the large workpiece to rotate only by the rotating end. Therefore, the existing method is to use a gear ring to fix the workpiece and drive the large workpiece to rotate. However, when the gear ring is rotating, since it is in an openable and closable state, the eccentricity does not meet the requirements when it rotates to the maximum eccentricity, resulting in large deformation of the component, or even instability and damage, and the safety of the entire structure is poor.
[0004] Therefore, this case aims to provide a gear ring positioner that can not only drive the rotation of large workpieces by clamping the gear ring, but also can flip the gear ring to the maximum eccentricity. The maximum eccentric moment is still sufficiently redundant, and it will not flip on its own after locking, or have abnormal noise or vibration during flipping, making it more stable.

When the driving member rotates, the upper gear ring and the lower gear ring drive the workpiece to rotate circumferentially;
[0009] A movable guiding structure, wherein an upper meshing wheel is provided on the side of the upper gear ring, and at least one lower meshing wheel is provided on the side of the lower gear ring.

[0016] As a further improvement, the hinged member includes a hydraulic cylinder hinged to the first mounting platform, the hydraulic cylinder is connected to the L-shaped fixing member through a folding frame, and the connection between the first bending section and the second bending section of the folding frame is hinged to the extension pile of the first mounting platform.
[0017] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:
[0018] During the rotational welding of large workpieces, in order to facilitate the feeding and unloading of the workpiece, the utility model divides the gear ring into a lower gear ring and an upper gear ring, and allows the upper gear ring to be opened and closed by an upper shifting mechanism. When feeding is required, the upper gear ring is opened by the upper shifting mechanism.

Therefore, the utility model also provides a movable guide structure based on the ring gear displacement structure, and guides and supports the upper and lower ring gears through the upper displacement components and the lower displacement components on the movable guide structure, so that the eccentricity of the ring gear during rotation is more controllable, and the steering accuracy is higher while supporting multiple points.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a gear ring positioner comprises: a mounting base 10 fixed on a mounting surface, with a first mounting platform 11 and a second mounting platform 12 fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting base 10; a gear ring displacement structure 20, comprising two driving members 21 arranged on the mounting base 10, a lower gear ring 22 movably mounted on the inner side of the mounting base 10, a workpiece fixing member provided on the inner side of the lower gear ring 22, an upper gear ring 23 movably provided at the opening at the upper end of the lower gear ring 22, the upper gear ring 23 is opened and closed by an upper displacement mechanism 24, the upper gear ring 23 and the lower gear ring 22 form a chamber for accommodating the workpiece, and when the driving member 21 is provided, the lower gear ring 22 is provided with a workpiece fixing member. When the moving part 21 rotates, the upper gear ring 23 and the lower gear ring 22 drive the workpiece to rotate circumferentially; the movable guiding structure, the upper gear ring 23 is provided with an upper meshing wheel on the side, and the lower gear ring 22 is provided with at least one lower meshing wheel 221 on the side, and the movable guiding structure includes an upper displacement component 31 arranged at the end of the upper displacement mechanism 24, when the upper gear ring 23 is in the original position, the upper displacement component 31 is engaged with the upper meshing wheel, and the second mounting platform 12 is provided with a lower displacement component 32, when the lower gear ring 22 is in the original position, the lower displacement component 32 is engaged with the lower meshing wheel 221.
[0029] The mounting seat 10 in this embodiment is installed on the slide rail, and the gear ring positioner is not only provided with one group, but at least two groups, and a guide tube of the workpiece is used at the head end or the end of the workpiece to guide the workpiece axially. This part is all existing technology, so it is not expanded in this case.
[0030] The driving member 21 in this embodiment is a rotating motor with gears. The rotation of the motor realizes the rotation of the gear ring, thereby driving the workpiece to rotate.
[0031] During the rotational welding of large workpieces, in order to facilitate the feeding and unloading of the workpiece, the utility model divides the gear ring into a lower gear ring 22 and an upper gear ring 23, and allows the upper gear ring 23 to be opened and closed by the upper shifting mechanism 24. When feeding is required, the upper gear ring 23 is opened by the upper shifting mechanism 24. In the processing stage, the upper gear ring 23 and the lower gear ring 22 can form a complete gear to cooperate with the two driving parts 21, and fix the workpiece through the workpiece fixing part. When unloading is required, the upper gear ring 23 is reset, and the upper gear ring 23 is opened to complete the unloading, so that the workpiece can be in a relatively stable state during the entire welding process and the entire rotation process.
[0032] Among them, the fixing structure of the lower gear ring 22 is divided into three parts. Specifically, the workpiece fixing part includes a lower positioning tooling 41 arranged at the bottom inner side of the lower gear ring 22, and the left and right sides of the inner side of the lower gear ring 22 are provided with centering clamping tooling 42, which is fixed by two lateral forces and bottom support force, wherein the bottom support force is fixed and cannot be adjusted, and the centering clamping tooling 42 includes a centering cylinder 421 installed on the inner side of the lower gear ring 22, and a clamping plate 422 is provided on the output end of the centering cylinder 421. The two centering cylinders 421 are driven by the same drive structure. In this embodiment, the drive structure is a linkage structure of the chain and the gear drive end, which is a prior art and will not be described here.
[0033] It should be emphasized that a set of limiting parts is also provided on the inner side of the upper gear ring 23, which has a similar function to the centering clamping fixture 42 and will not be described in detail here, thereby cooperating with the workpiece fixing parts to form a four-end positioning fixation.
[0034] During the opening and closing process of the upper gear ring 23, it is necessary to realize its opening and closing through the hinge 311. Specifically, the hinge 311 includes a hydraulic cylinder 3111 hinged to the first mounting platform 11. The hydraulic cylinder 3111 is connected to the L-shaped fixing member 312 through a folding wire frame 3112. The junction of the first bending section and the second bending section of the folding wire frame 3112 is hinged to the extension pile of the first mounting platform 11. Two pulleys are provided at the bottom of the L-shaped fixing member 312. The inner side wall of the pulley is in contact with the upper gear ring 23, thereby driving the upper gear ring 23 to move up and down during the lifting and lowering of the hydraulic cylinder 3111.
[0035] However, during the rotation of the gear structure composed of the upper ring gear 23 and the lower ring gear 22, it is obviously insufficient to drive and maintain stability only by two driving parts 21, which can easily lead to insufficient support force of the ring gear on the workpiece, and abnormal noises and even partial structural deformation during rotation. Therefore, the utility model also provides a movable guide structure based on the ring gear displacement structure 20, and guides and supports the upper ring gear 23 and the lower ring gear 22 through the upper displacement component 31 and the lower displacement component 32 on the movable guide structure, so that the eccentricity of the ring gear during rotation is more controllable, and the steering accuracy is higher while supporting multiple points.
[0036] When the cam 314 is in the unlocking state, the first engaging part 313 is unlocked and the second engaging part 313 is unlocked, so that the cam 314 can be unlocked.
[0037] When the cam 32 is in the unlocking state, the locking cam 321 is locked and the locking cam 3221 is unlocked, so the cam 321 can be unlocked when the cam 321 is unlocked.
[0038] The lower mating teeth and the upper mating teeth 3132 are both driven to rotate by a motor.
[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art will readily appreciate that the present invention is susceptible to various modifications and variations. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
