Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plate welding and cutting technology, and in particular to a multifunctional automatic plate welding and cutting equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the welding and cutting of sheet metal mainly relies on manual operation. Especially when processing long workpieces, it is difficult to ensure the smoothness of the weld and the flatness of the cut, often requiring secondary processing, which wastes materials and reduces work efficiency.

[0003] Under current technology, during the cutting process, the first step is to use a flame to cut out the approximate shape, and then a second step is to correct the shape so that the workpiece meets the required standards (three steps may even be required when processing extra-long parts).

[0004] The existing processing methods have the following problems:

[0005] 1. It consumes a large amount of consumables such as welding rods, oxygen, and acetylene, resulting in high processing costs;

[0006] 2. The workpiece requires secondary processing, resulting in low work efficiency;

[0007] 3. Low level of automation, resulting in poor welding and cutting quality;

[0008] 4. Current processing technology does not support automated welding and cutting.

[0009] 5. The existing solution involves two different types of carriages, one for welding and the other for cutting. Different carriages need to be used for different working conditions, which is not only costly but also inefficient.

[0010] 6. Existing welding and cutting trolleys travel on fixed tracks, allowing only straight-line processing and making it impossible to process curved or irregularly shaped parts, thus limiting their application range.

[0011] 7. The existing welding and cutting trolley requires manual adjustment and control on the trolley panel, resulting in a low level of automation. Utility Model Content

[0012] The present invention aims to provide a multifunctional automatic welding and cutting equipment for sheet metal, which has the advantages of high automation, high working efficiency, wide processing range, cost saving and high precision processing.

[0013] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0014] A multifunctional automatic sheet metal welding and cutting device includes a welding and cutting carriage, a drive assembly, a welding and cutting arm adjustment assembly, and a wireless control assembly. The welding and cutting carriage includes a body and a walking assembly. The drive assembly is connected to the walking assembly. The welding and cutting arm adjustment assembly includes an X-axis adjustment assembly for horizontal position adjustment and a Y-axis adjustment assembly for vertical position adjustment. One end of the X-axis adjustment assembly is connected to the top of the carriage, and the other end is connected to one end of the Y-axis adjustment assembly. The other end of the Y-axis adjustment assembly is provided with a quick-change fixture for the welding and cutting gun, which is detachably connected to a welding and cutting gun. The wireless control assembly includes a wireless controller and an adapter. The wireless controller is mounted on the carriage body and is connected to the drive assembly, the welding and cutting arm adjustment assembly, the welding and cutting gun, and the adapter.

[0015] The welding / cutting gun is either a welding gun or a cutting gun;

[0016] The walking assembly of the welding and cutting trolley includes walking wheels and a rotating shaft. The two ends of the rotating shaft are connected to the walking wheels respectively. There are two sets of walking assemblies, which are respectively set on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the vehicle body. The rotating shaft is connected to the drive assembly for transmission.

[0017] The system includes a motor and a reducer. The motor is connected to the walking assembly via the reducer. The drive assembly also includes a lithium battery, which is located inside the welding and cutting trolley and electrically connected to the motor. The motor is a series-wound DC motor. Electricity, as an environmentally friendly, clean, and highly efficient energy source, can promote the low-carbon development of the transportation industry, reduce transportation costs, save energy, and protect the environment when used as the energy source for the drive system. Compared to permanent magnet motors, series-wound DC motors are more heat-resistant and more suitable for the working environment of this application. Together, they form the drive system of the automatic welding and cutting trolley.

[0018] The multi-functional automatic welding and cutting equipment for sheet metal is also equipped with a temperature sensor and an ultrasonic sensor. These sensors are located on the side of the vehicle body near the welding / cutting gun and are connected to the wireless controller. The temperature sensor is an infrared short-wave temperature sensor, bolted to the automatic welding / cutting carriage. It is primarily used to measure the working temperature of the workpiece (the infrared short-wave temperature sensor must have a measurement range of 600-2400℃ to prevent burn-out), transmitting the measurement data to the wireless controller to determine whether the welding / cutting operation can continue. The ultrasonic sensor measures the horizontal distance between the welding / cutting gun and the carriage to detect any deviation in the welding / cutting process.

[0019] The vehicle body is also equipped with 360° panoramic cameras and lidar, which are respectively connected to the wireless controller signal; the 360° panoramic cameras include multiple cameras, and at least one camera and one lidar are provided on each side of the vehicle body.

[0020] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, a suitable welding and cutting carriage travel route is selected before welding and cutting operations. During welding operations, the welding and cutting carriage is controlled by a wireless controller to carry out welding and cutting operations, effectively avoiding the drawbacks of wired transmission methods. The optimal processing scheme is provided according to different specifications of plates to complete automated processing operations. During welding and cutting operations, the data of the plate to be processed is input into the input panel of the wireless controller. The wireless controller performs logical judgment and analysis to determine the optimal processing parameters and processing route, thereby completing the automatic welding and cutting operations.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, the position of the welding and cutting gun is adjusted by adjusting the horizontal and vertical directions of the welding and cutting swing arm adjustment assembly. During welding and cutting operations, the distance between the welding and cutting gun and the plate is adjusted by adjusting the vertical position of the welding and cutting gun. By adjusting the horizontal position of the welding and cutting gun, curved welding and cutting or welding and cutting of irregular parts can be achieved.

[0023] 3. In this utility model, the temperature sensor is an infrared short-wave temperature sensor that is fixed to the automatic welding and cutting carriage with bolts. It is mainly used to measure the working temperature of the workpiece (the infrared short-wave temperature sensor is required to have a measurement range of 600-2400℃ to prevent it from being burned out). The measurement data is transmitted to the wireless controller to determine whether the welding and cutting operation can continue. The ultrasonic sensor measures the horizontal distance between the welding and cutting gun and the carriage to detect whether the welding and cutting is off-center.

[0024] 4. In this utility model, by setting a quick-change fixture for welding and cutting torches, the fixture is modified on the basis of the welding and cutting swing arm assembly to adapt to both welding and cutting torches, thereby achieving dual-purpose use of one vehicle; different processing environments do not require changing the corresponding trolley, improving production efficiency and saving costs.

The quick-change fixture 6 for the welding torch is an IDS-603 fixture bracket from IDS, with an additional quick-change fixture for the plasma cutting torch.

[0032] In this embodiment, the parameters of the plate to be processed are input into the wireless control system.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] Compared with Embodiment 1, the difference in this embodiment is that, in this embodiment, the welding and cutting torch is a cutting torch, and the cutting torch is an FY-200C water-cooled plasma cutting torch; the walking component of the welding and cutting trolley includes walking wheels and a rotating shaft, the two ends of the rotating shaft are respectively connected to the walking wheels, and two sets of walking components are provided, which are respectively set on the front and rear sides of the bottom of the vehicle body, and the rotating shaft is connected to the drive component 2 for transmission.

The drive component 2 also includes a lithium battery 7, which is installed inside the body of the welding and cutting trolley 1. The lithium battery 7 is electrically connected to the motor. The rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0038] In this embodiment, the motor is a series-wound DC motor. Electricity, as an important energy source that is environmentally friendly, clean, and has a high conversion rate, can promote the low-carbon development of the transportation industry, reduce transportation costs, save energy, and protect the environment when used as the energy source for driving the system. Compared with permanent magnet motors, series-wound DC motors are more resistant to high temperatures and are more suitable for the working environment of this application. Together, they form the drive system of the automatic welding and cutting trolley 1. In this embodiment, both the drive component 2 and the walking component are common technical means in the field. Therefore, even without the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can obtain them through conventional technical means.

[0039] In this embodiment, during the cutting operation, the parameters of the plate to be processed are input into the wireless control system. After the system analyzes the data, it provides the corresponding processing plan. The plate to be processed is moved to the hot work area. After preparing the appropriate materials, the "Start" button is clicked on the operation panel of the wireless controller. The wireless controller turns on the power of the welding and cutting carriage 1. The wireless controller automatically adjusts the height and horizontal distance of the cutting torch according to the parameters. The welding and cutting carriage 1 moves in the specified direction and completes the cutting of the workpiece at the same time.

[0040] Example 3

[0041] The difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment,

[0042] The multifunctional automatic plate welding and cutting equipment is also equipped with a temperature sensor 8 and an ultrasonic sensor 9. The temperature sensor 8 and the ultrasonic sensor 9 are located on the side of the vehicle body near the welding and cutting gun. The temperature sensor 8 and the ultrasonic sensor 9 are respectively connected to the wireless controller signal; the rest of the structure is the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0043] In this embodiment, the temperature sensor 8 is an infrared short-wave temperature sensor that is fixed to the automatic welding and cutting carriage 1 by bolts. It is mainly used to measure the working temperature of the workpiece (the infrared short-wave temperature sensor is required to have a measurement range of 600-2400℃ to prevent it from being burned out).

The ultrasonic sensor 9 measures the horizontal distance between the welding and cutting gun and the carriage to detect whether the welding and cutting is off-center.

[0044] Example 4

[0045] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that, in this embodiment, a 360° panoramic camera 10 and a lidar 11 are also provided around the vehicle body.

The panoramic camera provides panoramic image data, and the LiDARs 11 provide distance data and shape information data. The collected data is processed using the invention patent: a semantic SLAM optimization method that fuses panoramic vision with LiDAR 11 to obtain a semantic SLAM map. The semantic SLAM map is used for navigation and decision support of this equipment to provide path planning, obstacle avoidance, and target positioning functions. In the wireless control component, the preset semantic SLAM map allows users to interact and control the equipment, thereby realizing the automatic walking control function of this equipment, and supporting the visualization of the map and data export.

[0047] The semantic SLAM optimization method that integrates panoramic vision and LiDAR 11 can pre-set the cutting or welding path to be processed in the wireless control component. The application of this patent effectively avoids the drawbacks of traditional magnetic strip navigation, magnetic nail navigation and inertial navigation (QR code), ensuring the convenience and practicality of this device.
