[0020] The following is combined with Figure 1-5 This application is described in further detail.

[0021] The embodiment of the present application discloses a workpiece conveying mechanism for a welding machine. Figure 1-5 , a workpiece conveying mechanism for a welding machine, comprising a frame 1, a turning mechanism and two welding machines 2;

[0022] A conveyor belt 5 is provided inside the frame 1, and a driving mechanism for driving the conveyor belt 5 to rotate is provided on the frame 1;

[0023] The drive mechanism includes a motor 6 and two conveyor rollers 24. The motor 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the frame 1. The two conveyor rollers 24 are symmetrically mounted inside the frame 1. The conveyor belt 5 is sleeved on the two conveyor rollers 24. The output end of the motor 6 is in driving connection with one end of one of the conveyor rollers 24.

[0024] A plurality of support plates 11 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the side walls of the conveyor belt 5. A fixed frame 3 is installed on the opposite side of two adjacent support plates 11 through a connecting shaft 12 for common rotation. A symmetrical slide groove is opened inside the fixed frame 3, and a slider 22 is slidably installed in each of the two slide grooves. A clamping plate 4 for fixing the workpiece is fixedly connected between two adjacent sliders 22. A driving component for driving the clamping plate 4 to move is provided in the fixed frame 3.

[0025] The drive assembly includes a bidirectional screw 23, which is rotatably installed in one of the slide grooves. The bidirectional screw 23 passes through two of the sliders 22 and is threadedly connected to them. The threads between the bidirectional screw 23 and the sliders 22 can achieve self-locking. The self-locking condition of the thread depends on the helix angle, friction coefficient and load of the thread. The self-locking condition of the thread can be calculated by the following formula: Self-locking condition = friction coefficient × tan (helix angle) ≥ 1. When this condition is met, the threaded connection is self-locking. The above contents are all existing technologies, and in actual applications, the corresponding self-locking angle can be set according to the friction coefficient of the material, which will not be elaborated here;

[0026] The turning mechanism includes two guide plates 8, the opposite sides of the two guide plates 8 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the frame 1 through two connecting rods 7, and the opposite sides of the two guide plates 8 are provided with movable grooves 9, and the movable grooves 9 are composed of a first horizontal plane, an inclined plane, a second horizontal plane, an inclined plane and a first horizontal plane from left to right. The opposite sides of the two support plates 11 are fixedly connected to a fixed plate 17, and the lower surface of the fixed plate 17 is elastically connected to a slide plate 20 by a tension spring 21. One side of the slide plate 20 is fixedly connected to a ball 18 that moves in the movable groove 9 through a connecting column 19, and the upper surface of the slide plate 20 is fixedly connected to a fixing rod 16 located inside the tension spring 21. The opposite ends of the two connecting shafts 12 pass through the support plate 11 and are fixedly connected to the gear 10. A fixing hole 15 is provided on the side wall of the connecting shaft 12. The top end of the fixing rod 16 slides through the fixing plate 17 and extends into the fixing hole 15. The upper surface of the guide plate 8 is fixedly connected to a toothed plate 13 that meshes with the gear 10 through two support rods 14;

[0027] Two welding machines 2 are both arranged on the frame 1 and used for welding workpieces;

[0028] When in use, the electrical components appearing in this application are all connected to the power supply and control switch externally. The staff places the workpiece to be welded on the clamping plate 4 in the fixed frame 3 and manually supports the workpiece. By rotating the bidirectional screw rod 23, the two clamping plates 4 can be driven to approach each other, so that the workpiece can be clamped and fixed, and then the workpiece can be released. By starting the motor 6, one of the conveyor rollers 24 can be driven to rotate, and the conveyor roller 24 can drive the conveyor belt 5 and the other conveyor roller 24 to rotate synchronously. The conveyor belt 5 can drive the workpiece to move to the right through the support plate 11 and the fixed frame 3. When the workpiece moves to the bottom of the left welding machine 2, the operation of the motor 6 is paused, and the welding machine 2 on the left is used. It is possible to perform welding on one side of the workpiece. During the welding process, the worker places the workpiece in the fixed frame 3 on the left side of the fixed frame 3. After the welding is completed, the motor 6 is started to drive the workpiece to continue to move to the right. The support plate 11 can drive the ball 18 thereon to move. When the ball 18 moves into the movable groove 9 on the guide plate 8, the ball 18 can drive the fixed rod 16 to move downward along the direction of the movable groove 9 through the slide 20, so that the top end of the fixed rod 16 can be disengaged from the fixed hole 15 on the connecting shaft 12. After the top end of the fixed rod 16 is disengaged from the fixed hole 15, the connecting shaft 12 can drive the gear 10 thereon to move to the tooth plate 13, and the gear 10 can drive the workpiece to 1 through the fixed frame 3. After the workpiece has been moved to the bottom of the right welding machine 2, the motor 6 is paused, and one side of the workpiece can be welded by the right welding machine 2. At the same time, the fixed frame 3 on the left side of the fixed frame 3 completes a 90° rotation, and the fixed frame 3 on the left side of the fixed frame 3 that has rotated 90° will also move to the bottom of the left welding machine 2. After welding is completed, the motor 6 is started again, and the cycle repeats. When the initial fixed frame 3 is moved to the bottom of the left welding machine 2, the motor 6 is paused, and the welding machine 2 on the right side can weld one side of the workpiece. At the same time, the fixed frame 3 on the left side of the fixed frame 3 completes a 90° rotation, and the fixed frame 3 on the left side of the fixed frame 3 that has been rotated 90° will also move to the bottom of the left welding machine 2. After welding is completed, the motor 6 is started again, and the cycle repeats. When it rotates to the top of the left side of the conveyor belt 5 again, the staff moves the ball 18 downward so that the top of the fixing rod 16 is disengaged from the fixing hole 15, so that the fixing frame 3 can be manually rotated 180°, and then the workpiece after welding can be removed and replaced with a new workpiece. During this process, the conveyor belt 5 can be driven to rotate by the motor 6, so that the workpiece in the fixing frame 3 can be transported, and when the gear 10 on the fixing frame 3 is engaged with the tooth plate 13, the fixing frame 3 and the workpiece can be driven to rotate 180°. The two welding machines 2 can be used to weld both sides of the workpiece, avoiding the need for staff to manually flip the workpiece, thereby improving the working efficiency of the device.
