Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated welding technology, specifically to an automated welding workstation for tank supports. Background Technology

[0002] The world is developing rapidly, especially in recent years with the high integration of computers and the adoption of computer integrated manufacturing systems, which has greatly accelerated the development of mechanical automation. However, my country is still in the early stages of automation. Currently, the welding of compression tanks is an industry that lags far behind modern standards. Most enterprises are still relatively backward in the welding and processing of compression tanks, with manual labor accounting for a considerable proportion. Automated tank welding can maximize productivity, not only reducing labor costs but also increasing production efficiency and enterprise profits.

[0003] Most existing equipment on the market requires manual identification and adjustment of product orientation, as well as manual clamping. This results in low efficiency, low safety, high cost, limited functionality, and inability to be integrated with production lines. Integration requires manual operation, such as manual handling to welding equipment. Manual welding creates a poor and unsafe environment that can easily cause injury to the human body.

[0004] To address these issues, we designed an automated welding workstation for tank supports. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automated welding workstation for tank supports to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides an automated welding workstation for tank supports, including a base plate, a conveyor line on one side of the base plate, a material handling robot, a steering device and a material handling mechanism fixedly connected sequentially to the top surface of the base plate, a turntable rotatably connected to the top surface of the base plate, a product fixture fixedly connected to the top surface of the turntable, a welding mechanism fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate, and a material unloading mechanism fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the top surface of the base plate is fixedly connected with three side plates, all of which are fixedly installed at the top edge of the base plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the side wall of the side plate is provided with a rotating and opening maintenance door.

There are multiple support platforms and indicator signs, and the support platforms and indicator signs are alternately fixedly installed on the conveyor line.

[0010] Furthermore, the material handling robot includes a support, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base plate. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the top of the support, and a connecting seat is slidably connected to the slide rail. A fixed frame is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat, and a double-threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the fixed frame. A motor is fixedly installed at one end of the double-threaded rod, and a gripper is threadedly connected to the double-threaded rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the number of grippers is two, symmetrically installed on both sides of the double-ended threaded rod.

[0012] Furthermore, the material of the part of the gripper that contacts the can body is a flexible material.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automated welding workstation for tank supports, including a base plate 1, a conveyor line 2 on one side of the base plate 1, a material handling robot 3, a steering device 4 and a material handling mechanism 5 sequentially fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 1, a turntable 6 rotatably connected to the top surface of the base plate 1, a product fixture 7 fixedly connected to the top surface of the turntable 6, a welding mechanism 8 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 1, and a material unloading mechanism 9 fixedly connected to the top surface of the base plate 1.

[0024] In practice, conveyor line 2 is used to transport products, and the picking robot 3 picks up the product from conveyor line 2 and moves it to the alignment device 4. The alignment device 4 is a device that automatically identifies and adjusts the product direction. It is used to correct the product direction and adjust the surface to be processed to a suitable position to prepare for welding. The picking mechanism 5 picks up the product jig 7 on the turntable 6 from the alignment device 4. The product jig 7 loads the product. The welding mechanism 8 has a pre-pressing function. The product needs to be pressed during the welding process. The turntable 6 is equipped with multiple stations. The unloading mechanism 9 picks up the welded compressed tank from the turntable 6 and returns it to conveyor line 2.

[0025] See Figure 1 The top surface of the base plate 1 is fixedly connected with three side plates 10. The side plates 10 are all fixedly installed at the top edge of the base plate 1. The side wall of the side plate 10 is provided with a rotating and opening maintenance door 11. The side plate 10 can provide a certain degree of protection for the overall device. The rotating and opening maintenance door 11 can make the device and its related components easy to replace or maintain quickly when the device fails and stops, reducing downtime and improving the overall maintenance efficiency and availability of the device.

[0026] See Figure 1 The top surface of the conveyor line 2 is fixedly connected to a support platform 12 and an indicator 13. There are multiple support platforms 12 and indicator 13, which are alternately fixedly installed on the conveyor line 2.

[0027] See Figure 2 and Figure 4The material handling robot 3 includes a support 14, which is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base plate 1. A slide rail 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the support 14, and a connecting seat 16 is slidably connected to the slide rail 15. A fixing frame 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the connecting seat 16. A double-ended threaded rod 19 is rotatably connected to the inner side wall of the fixing frame 17. A motor 18 is fixedly installed at one end of the double-ended threaded rod 19. Two grippers 20 are threadedly connected to the double-ended threaded rod 19 and are symmetrically installed on both sides of the double-ended threaded rod 19. The material of the part of the gripper 20 that contacts the can is a flexible material, which is rubber. This not only increases the friction during gripping to prevent the can from accidentally falling, but also protects the can and prevents the surface of the can from being scratched or worn by the gripper 20 during the gripping process, thus affecting the appearance and quality of the product.

[0028] Working principle:

[0029] Conveyor line 2 is used to transport products. The picking robot 3 picks up the product from conveyor line 2 and moves it to the alignment device 4. The alignment device 4 is a device that automatically identifies and adjusts the product orientation. It is used to correct the product orientation and adjust the surface to be processed to a suitable position to prepare for welding. The picking mechanism 5 picks up the product jig 7 on the turntable 6 from the alignment device 4. The product jig 7 loads the product. The welding mechanism 8 has a pre-pressing function. The product needs to be pressed during the welding process. The turntable 6 is equipped with multiple stations. The unloading mechanism 9 picks up the welded compressed tank from the turntable 6 and returns it to conveyor line 2.
