Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding automation technology, specifically to an automatic loading and unloading device for cylindrical materials. Background Technology
[0002] When welding cylindrical materials, the traditional process typically involves first fixing the main component, then manually clamping the workpiece onto a positioning device to secure the auxiliary component, and finally welding the main component and auxiliary component together using a welding system. This method may be effective enough for simple or single-batch production, but it has certain limitations when dealing with complex or mass production.
[0003] The process is particularly complex when welding tank products. For example, during tank welding, the inlet area often requires welding of the filling spout and other parts. Therefore, the tank must first be fixed in a suitable position, ensuring the alignment of the inlet parts with the tank body. This is typically done manually, clamping the inlet parts onto a positioning device before the welding system completes the welding of the tank body and inlet parts. However, in actual production, this reliance on manual clamping reveals several significant drawbacks. First, manual clamping consumes considerable time and effort, resulting in low production efficiency, especially when handling large batches of welding tasks. Second, due to differences in operator skill levels and improper operation, inaccurate clamping of the inlet parts often occurs, leading to poor precision and repeatability of the welded workpiece. Long-term reliance on manual clamping not only reduces production efficiency but also poses challenges to product stability and quality control, affecting the average quality and consistency of the products. Furthermore, current welding processes lack a more automated, stable, and precise solution for efficient and accurate positioning and clamping, and there is an urgent need for a new technology or equipment that can improve clamping accuracy, reduce reliance on manual operation, and increase production efficiency.

In this process, the top piece assembly 4 pushes the material against the material by the material lifting cylinder 402 and the material lifting block 403, so that the material is stably positioned and fixed. The whole process is coordinated by automatic control system, to ensure that the material is smoothly and accurately completed loading and unloading.

In this embodiment, the material roller 202 is controlled by a driving device, and when rotating, it drives the material to slide along the axial direction of the material roller. The feeding cylinder 203 drives the feeding block 204 through air pressure, and pushes the material to move forward along the length direction of the material roller. The feeding block 204 slides along the channel direction between the material rollers, to ensure that the material moves accurately along the direction of the material roller, and completes the feeding process of the material.

Since the two rollers 202 are arranged in parallel, the cylindrical material placed on the rollers 202 can be automatically centered, ensuring that the central axis of the cylindrical workpiece is located at the middle position of the two rollers 202, so as to complete the positioning of the workpiece.

At this time, the feeding cylinder 203 pushes the workpiece into the through slot, and the through slot completes the receiving of the material. In fact, the workpiece is moved to the top piece assembly 4 by the push-pull cylinder 305 driving the workpiece in the through slot, and the limiting block re-completes the blocking of the subsequent workpiece. The adaptive cylinder 303 is used for adjusting the height of the positioning block 307 and the limiting block, and is used for adapting to workpieces of different diameters, and simultaneously completes the vertical position of the positioning block 307 to prevent the positioning block 307 from being inclined in the vertical direction.
[0036] The push-pull frame 301 is further provided with a baffle 309 opposite to the material storage assembly 2. The baffle 309 is detachably connected to the push-pull frame 301 and can be replaced according to the size and thickness of the workpiece to ensure the accuracy during welding.
