Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the field of welding technology, in particular to a robot argon arc welding workbench. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the current field of industrial automation, robot argon arc welding technology is widely used in the welding of various metal components due to its high efficiency, precision and stability.

[0003] The existing welding table for robot argon arc welding has certain limitations in function and adjustment performance, which to some extent limits its efficient use with robots, and thus affects the overall work efficiency. In terms of function, the existing robot argon arc welding table can only provide basic workpiece placement and positioning functions, and lacks flexibility and diversity in workpiece clamping, rotation and adjustment. This leads to the need for manual adjustment and positioning multiple times in actual operation, which not only increases the complexity and time cost of operation, but also reduces the precision and consistency of welding.

[0004] Secondly, in terms of adjustment performance, the traditional welding table can only realize simple straight-line movement or lifting operation, and cannot make more precise adjustments according to the specific shape of the workpiece and the welding requirements. This limitation makes the robot need to frequently change the welding path and parameters to adapt to the limitations of the welding table, which undoubtedly increases the workload and energy consumption of the robot, and also reduces the efficiency and quality of welding.

[0005] In view of the above problems, a robot argon arc welding workbench is designed. CONTENT OF THE INVENTION

The two ends of the guide rods extend to the upper and lower sides of the fixing plate, and the top ends of the guide rods are connected to the fixing plate.

[0013] In some embodiments, the driving component is a linear electric slide rail, which is disposed at the bottom of the platform. The slider of the linear electric slide rail is connected to one end of the fixed plate and is used to drive the fixed plate to move along the length of the platform.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0027] This application provides a robotic argon arc welding workbench, which solves the problem that existing robotic argon arc welding workbenches have certain limitations in terms of function and adjustability, increasing the robot's workload and energy consumption, and reducing work efficiency.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-3A robotic argon arc welding workbench includes: a platform (1), on which a feeding platform (2) is slidably disposed, and on which two clamping members (3) are disposed opposite to each other, and on which a driving member (4) is also disposed, the driving member (4) being used to drive the feeding platform (2) to move along the length of the platform (1); the clamping member (3) includes a fixed seat (31) disposed on the feeding platform (2), and a clamp (32) is rotatably disposed on one side of the fixed seat (31), the two clamps (32) being disposed opposite to each other and used to clamp the workpiece, and a rotating part (33) disposed on the fixed seat (31), the rotating part (33) being used to drive the clamp (32) to rotate.

[0029] First, the platform (1) serves as the supporting structure for the entire workbench, providing a stable working environment. A feeding table (2) is slidably mounted on the platform (1), which allows the feeding table (2) to move along the length of the platform (1), thereby adjusting the position of the workpiece to adapt to different welding requirements.

[0030] Two clamping parts (3) are arranged opposite each other on the feeding table (2) to clamp the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be firmly fixed on the feeding table (2) to avoid movement or deformation during welding. The fixed base (31) is also provided with a rotating part (33), which is used to drive the clamp (32) to rotate. This means that during the welding process, the angle of the workpiece can be adjusted as needed to achieve more precise welding.

[0031] The drive unit (4) is responsible for driving the unloading table (2) to move along the length of the table body (1). By controlling the operation of the drive unit (4), the position of the workpiece can be easily adjusted to match the working range of the welding robot.

[0032] By using the clamping and rotating functions of the clamping component (3), the workpiece can maintain a stable position and angle during the welding process, thereby improving the accuracy and consistency of the welding. The position and angle of the workpiece can be flexibly adjusted by the unloading table (2) and the drive component (4) to adapt to different welding requirements and workpiece shapes. This allows the welding robot to interact with the workpiece more conveniently, reducing the time for manual adjustment and positioning, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.

[0033] The strong clamping function of the clamping component (3) can prevent the workpiece from moving or falling off during the welding process, thereby reducing the risk of safety accidents.

[0034] In this embodiment, the platform (1) is a rectangular frame plate. Two slide rails (11) are arranged opposite each other at the bottom of the platform (1). Two sliders (12) are slidably arranged on the slide rails (11). The feeding platform (2) is arranged at the bottom of the two sliders (12).

[0035] The slider (12) is designed to match the shape of the slide rail (11) and can slide freely on the slide rail (11), so that the feeding table (2) can move freely in the length direction of the table body (1) through the connection between the slider (12) and the slide rail (11).

[0036] The feeding platform (2) is located at the bottom of the two sliders (12), so when the sliders (12) slide on the slide rail (11), the feeding platform (2) will also move accordingly.

[0037] In one embodiment, the feeding platform (2) includes a fixed plate (21) disposed at the bottom of two sliders (12), a cylinder (22) is disposed at the bottom of the fixed plate (21), and a support plate (23) is abutted at the top of the fixed plate (21). The piston rod of the cylinder (22) passes through the fixed plate (21) and communicates with the support plate (23) to drive the support plate (23) to rise and fall.

[0038] In one embodiment, the driving component (4) is a linear electric slide rail, which is disposed at the bottom of the platform (1). The slider of the linear electric slide rail is connected to one end of the fixed plate (21) and is used to drive the fixed plate (21) to move along the length of the platform (1).

[0039] The drive unit (4) is designed as a linear electric slide rail, which is a high-precision and high-efficiency transmission device. The linear electric slide rail is installed at the bottom of the platform (1), and its slide rail part extends along the length direction of the platform (1). The slider of the linear electric slide rail is connected to one end of the fixed plate (21). Driven by the linear electric slide rail, the slider will move linearly along the slide rail, thereby driving the fixed plate (21) and the entire feeding table (2) to move along the length direction of the platform (1).

[0040] The working principle of linear electric slide rails is based on electromagnetic induction and precise mechanical structure design. When energized, the electromagnets inside the slide rail generate a magnetic field, attracting or repelling the permanent magnets or electromagnets inside the slider, thereby generating a driving force. By precisely controlling the magnitude and direction of the current, the slider can be accurately moved and positioned on the slide rail; this is existing technology and will not be elaborated further here.

[0041] Furthermore, two cylinders (5) are embedded in the fixing plate (21), and guide rods (6) are inserted inside the cylinders (5). The two ends of the guide rods (6) extend to the upper and lower sides of the fixing plate (21), and the top of the guide rods (6) are connected to the fixing plate (21).

[0042] The fixed plate (21) is installed at the bottom of the two sliders (12) as the main support structure of the feeding platform (2). The cylinder (22) is located at the bottom of the fixed plate (21), and its piston rod passes through the fixed plate (21) and is connected to the support plate (23).

[0043] When the cylinder (22) is working, its piston rod will extend and retract, thereby driving the support plate (23) to move up and down on the top of the fixed plate (21), so that the feeding table (2) can not only move along the length of the table body (1), but also be adjusted in the vertical direction, further improving the adaptability and flexibility of the worktable to the workpiece.

[0044] To enhance the stability and accuracy of the support plate (23) during lifting, a guide rod (6) is inserted inside the cylinder (5). The top of the guide rod (6) is connected to the fixed plate (21), ensuring that the support plate (23) can move smoothly in a straight line along the guide rod (6) during lifting, thus avoiding errors caused by shaking or deviation.

[0045] In one embodiment, the fixed base (31) is hollow inside; the rotating part (33) includes a drive motor (331) and a reducer (332) disposed inside the fixed base (31). The output shaft of the drive motor (331) is connected to the input shaft of the reducer (332). The output shaft of the reducer (332) is provided with a rotating shaft (333). One end of the rotating shaft (333) extends to the outside of the fixed base (31). The two rotating shafts (333) are arranged opposite to each other. The clamp (32) is disposed at the other end of the rotating shaft (333).

[0046] The fixed seat (31) has a hollow structure, which reduces the weight of the fixed seat (31) and provides enough space for its internal drive mechanism.

[0047] The drive motor (331) serves as the power source, and its output shaft is connected to the input shaft of the reducer (332). The function of the reducer (332) is to convert the high-speed rotation of the drive motor (331) into a low-speed, high-torque output to meet the force and speed required for the rotation of the clamp (32). The rotating shaft (333) is connected to the output shaft of the reducer (332), with one end extending to the outside of the fixed base (31), for connecting and driving the clamp (32). In this embodiment, the two rotating shafts (333) are arranged opposite to each other, connecting the two clamps (32) respectively, so that the two clamps (32) can rotate synchronously.

[0048] When the drive motor (331) starts, its output shaft drives the input shaft of the reducer (332) to rotate. After the reducer reduces speed and amplifies torque, the output shaft drives the rotating shaft (333) to rotate, thereby driving the fixture (32) to rotate. By controlling the rotation direction and speed of the drive motor (331), the rotation angle and speed of the fixture (32) can be precisely controlled.

[0049] It should be noted that the clamp (32) includes a fixed plate (321) disposed at one end of the rotating shaft (333) away from the reducer (332), and a double piston rod cylinder (322) is disposed on the other side of the fixed plate (321). The two piston rods of the double piston rod cylinder (322) are each provided with a clamping plate (323), and the two adjacent clamping plates (323) are arranged opposite to each other.

[0050] The clamp (32) is installed at the end of the shaft (333) away from the reducer (332) for clamping and fixing the workpiece.

[0051] The fixed plate (321) serves as the basic component of the clamp (32) and is installed at the end of the rotating shaft (333), and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft (333). The double piston rod cylinder (322) is installed on the other side of the fixed plate (321), and its two piston rods extend to both sides to drive the movement of the clamping plate (323).

[0052] The clamping plate (323) is a key component of the fixture (32) and is used to directly clamp the workpiece. In this embodiment, the two clamping plates (323) are respectively installed on the two piston rods of the double piston rod cylinder (322), and the two adjacent clamping plates (323) are arranged opposite to each other, that is, the distance between them can be adjusted to accommodate workpieces of different sizes and shapes.

[0053] When the double piston rod cylinder (322) is working, its two piston rods move in opposite directions simultaneously, thereby causing the two clamping plates (323) to move closer to or further away from each other. When it is necessary to clamp the workpiece, the piston rod of the double piston rod cylinder (322) moves inward, so that the two clamping plates (323) tightly clamp the workpiece; when it is necessary to release the workpiece, the piston rod moves outward, so that the two clamping plates (323) loosen.
