Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of steel grating welding equipment, in particular to a special welding gun for edging square bar steel gratings with a guide head. Background Art

[0002] The welding gun uses the high current and high voltage of the welding machine to generate heat that accumulates at the terminal of the welding gun, melting the welding wire. The molten welding wire penetrates into the part to be welded. After cooling, the welded objects are firmly connected into one. The current steel grating edging requires automatic welding of several vertical corner welds by a welding gun. Due to the tolerances caused by processes such as pressure welding and sawing of the steel grating, and the deformation of each flat steel of the steel grating after welding with the edging plate, the welding position of the next flat steel and the edging plate is affected, resulting in deviations in the welding position. The conductive nozzle of an ordinary welding gun is straight, and the welding wire comes out from the center hole of the protective nozzle. Due to the narrow welding space of the steel grating edging, the ordinary welding gun cannot be tilted to the appropriate angle and the welding wire cannot be adjusted to the accurate welding position, affecting the regularity of the steel grating shape and the welding quality; if robot welding is used, ordinary robots cannot accurately locate the welding position every time using the teaching method, and the use of robot visual scanning and positioning method will increase the completion time of each weld by about 1 / 3 of the scanning and positioning time, seriously affecting the welding efficiency. If it is completed manually, a steel grating with an outer size of 1mX4m will have more than a thousand welds when fully welded. The welding positioning is difficult, and it takes two welders one day to process one piece, and it also costs more than a thousand welding fees. Manual welding is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] Example 1:

[0025] See also Figure 1-4A special welding gun for square bar steel grating hemming with a guide head includes a welding gun body 1, a guide head is set on the protective cover 11 of the welding gun body 1, and the guide head includes a pipe clamp 2 and two positioning components 3 set on the pipe clamp 2. The pipe clamp 2 is made of PVC material. The open end of the pipe clamp 2 facilitates the protective cover 11 to enter the pipe clamp 2 and fix it. The pipe clamp 2 is used to install and fix the two positioning components 3 on the welding gun body 1. Each positioning component 3 includes a fixing plate 31, a first limiting plate 32, and a second limiting plate 33, telescopic rod 34, rolling body 35, rolling shaft 36, the outer clamp of pipe clamp 2 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of protective sleeve 11, pipe clamp 2 is fixedly connected to one end of fixing plate 31, the other end of fixing plate 31 is welded and fixedly connected to the first limiting plate 32, the first limiting plate 32 is connected to the second limiting plate 33 through telescopic rod 34, the distance between the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 33 can be adjusted by telescopic rod 34, so that the first limiting plate 32 can be limited to the steel plate through the second limiting plate 33 and telescopic rod 34. On the side surface corresponding to the weld of the plate 41, two vertical mounting grooves 37 are symmetrically provided on the inner side surfaces of the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 33. Three horizontal rolling shafts 36 are provided in each mounting groove 37. The two ends of the rolling shaft 36 are fixedly connected to the two inner side walls of the mounting groove 37. A rolling body 35 is rotatably provided on each rolling shaft 36. The rolling body 35 is cylindrical and is sleeved on the rolling shaft 36 through its axial through hole and can rotate relative to the rolling shaft 36. The rolling surface of the rolling body 35 is partially exposed. The mounting groove 37 is provided so that when the inner side surface of the first limit plate 32 approaches the side surface of the steel plate, the rolling surface of the rolling body 35 first contacts the side surface of the steel plate. The first limit plate 32 can be rolled in cooperation with the side surface of the steel plate through the rolling body 35. The rolling body 35 is guided to move vertically by the side surface of the steel plate, which can facilitate the driving of the welding gun body 1. A conductive elbow 13 is provided at the lower end of the conductive nozzle 12 of the welding gun body 1. The conductive elbow 13 is used to guide the welding wire 43 to bend from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction to weld the vertical weld 43 of the steel grating.

[0026] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 、 2 A horizontal positioning plate 14 is provided on the protective cover 11. The positioning plate 14 is circular, and an external thread is provided on the outer wall of the protective cover 11. The positioning plate 14 is threadedly fixed to the external thread of the protective cover 11 through its central threaded hole. The threaded connection structure facilitates the adjustment of the installation height of the positioning plate 14 on the protective cover 11. During the vertical welding process of the welding gun, the installation height of the positioning plate 14 is adjusted by the length of the weld. When the weld is welded to the lowest point, the bottom surface of the positioning plate 14 touches the upper end surface of the steel plate 41 of the steel grating 4, which is convenient for protecting the welding gun and preventing the welding gun body 1 from continuing to move downward to cause empty welding, thereby increasing the effectiveness of welding and increasing the efficiency of welding.

[0027] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 、 34. The telescopic rod 34 includes a fixed rod 341, a guide rod 342, and a telescopic spring 343. One end of the fixed rod 341 is fixedly connected to the first limit plate 32, and the other end is axially provided with a guide hole 344. One end of the guide rod 342 is fixedly connected to the second limit plate 33, and the other end is partially sleeved in the guide hole 344. The telescopic spring 343 is sleeved on the guide rod 342. One end of the telescopic spring 343 is elastically fixedly connected to the fixed rod 341, and the other end is elastically fixedly connected to a limiting boss 345 provided on the outer wall of the guide rod 342 along the circumferential direction.

[0028] In this embodiment, specifically, the telescopic spring 343 is a tension spring. Through the tensioning action of the telescopic spring 343, the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 33 can be elastically limited to the two sides of the steel plate, thereby realizing the rapid positioning of the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 33, preventing the welding gun body 1 from moving horizontally or vertically, ensuring that the welding wire 43 is positioned and moved along the vertical weld, increasing the welding accuracy, ensuring the consistency of the weld, and preventing the occurrence of empty welding, thereby increasing the strength of the welding.

[0029] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 、 2 Specifically, the first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 33 are respectively connected to the pipe clamp 2 through a plurality of first screws. The first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 33 are respectively provided with screw holes, and threaded holes are provided at corresponding positions on the side wall of the pipe clamp 2. The first screws pass through the screw holes and are threadedly connected to the threaded holes on the side wall of the pipe clamp 2. The first limiting plate 32 and the second limiting plate 33 are easy to remove from the pipe clamp 2 for repair and maintenance.

[0030] In this embodiment, see Figure 1 、 2 Specifically, the pipe clamp 2 and the side wall of the protective cover 11 are positioned and fixed by a second screw, and the pipe clamp 2 and the protective cover 11 are detachably connected and fixed by the second screw, so that the installation height of the pipe clamp 2 can be quickly adjusted according to different weld lengths, thereby realizing welding of welds of different lengths.

[0031] It can be seen from the above technical solution that when in use, the welding gun body 1 is installed on a manipulator or a CNC machine tool, the guide head is installed on the protective cover 11 of the welding gun body 1, the weld position is located by a visual sensor, and the welding is guided by the guide head. First, the welding gun body 1 is driven by a manipulator or a CNC machine tool to insert into the grille hole of the steel grating 4. During the process, the two positioning components 3 are respectively coordinated with the two steel plates 41 connected to the weld 42 for positioning. During the downward movement of the first limit plate 32 and the second limit plate 33 of one positioning component 3, the corresponding rolling body 35 first contacts the steel plate 41 and clamps the two sides of the steel plate 41, and guides it downward along the side of the steel plate 41, so that the conductive elbow 13 of the welding gun body 1 guides the welding wire 43 to bend from the vertical direction to the horizontal direction to weld the vertical weld 43 of the steel grating. When the weld is welded to the lowest point, the installation height of the positioning plate 14 is used to facilitate the limiting of the welding depth of the welding gun.
