[0013] Beneficial effects
[0014] This utility model provides a lightweight tie rod welding workstation. Compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0015] 1. This lightweight tie rod welding workstation places the lightweight tie rod to be welded on the tie rod fixture plate. First, the tie rod center sleeve support plate positions the center sleeve of the workpiece to ensure accurate positioning. Then, the tie rod outer sleeve positioning cylinder extends, and its output end arc-shaped positioning plate positions the tie rod outer sleeve to fix its position. Next, the tie rod clamping cylinder operates, and the top block at the output end clamps the tie rod, initially fixing it. Finally, the tie rod left and right clamping cylinders operate, and its output end arc-shaped clamping plates clamp the tie rod from both sides, completing the precise positioning and fixing of the tie rod from all directions. At this point, the welding placement frame, under the action of the positioner and the positioner's tilting shaft, can be tilted according to welding requirements, driving the fixed tie rod to the appropriate welding angle and position. Through the coordinated action of the tie rod center sleeve support plate, the tie rod outer sleeve positioning cylinder, the tie rod clamping cylinder, and the tie rod left and right clamping cylinders, precise positioning and firm fixation of the lightweight tie rod are achieved, effectively avoiding the problem of tie rod displacement due to insecure fixation during welding, and improving the stability and consistency of tie rod welding quality.

[0016] 2. After welding, this lightweight tie rod welding workstation activates an electric push rod to clean the welding area. The output end of the push rod moves a rack, which meshes with a gear, causing the gear to rotate. This rotation, via a rotating shaft, drives the mounting plate to rotate, adjusting the fan on the mounting plate to the appropriate angle and position. The fan, driven by a motor, generates airflow to clean the welded tie rod surface and surrounding area, removing welding residue and other debris, thus achieving the cleaning purpose.

[0023] 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.
[0024] This utility model provides two technical solutions:
[0025] Figures 1-5The first embodiment is shown: a lightweight tie rod welding workstation, including a base plate 1. A welding robot 2 is fixedly mounted on the top of the base plate 1. The welding robot 2 is existing technology and can drive the welding gun to move through multiple rotating axes to complete the welding of the tie rod. Two flip-fixing components 3 are symmetrically arranged on the top of the base plate 1 for fixing and flipping the tie rod. The presence of two flip-fixing components 3 allows the other workstation to simultaneously perform preparatory work such as loading and unloading, positioning and fixing of the tie rod while welding is being performed at one workstation. This greatly reduces the idle time of the equipment, improves the utilization rate of the equipment, makes the entire welding process more compact, and enables the welding of more tie rods per unit time, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. A cleaning component 4 is provided on one side of each of the two flip-fixing components 3.
[0026] The flipping and fixing assembly 3 includes a welding placement frame 33. A set of tie rod fixture plates 34 are provided at the top of the welding placement frame 33. A tie rod center sleeve support plate 39 is fixedly installed at the top of the tie rod fixture plate 34 for positioning the tie rod center sleeve. A tie rod outer sleeve positioning cylinder 36 and a tie rod clamping cylinder 37 are fixedly installed at the top of the tie rod fixture plate 34 respectively. A set of tie rod left and right clamping cylinders 38 are provided at the top of the tie rod fixture plate 34.
[0027] The cleaning component 4 includes a mounting plate 43, and a set of circular grooves 44 are provided through the outer wall of the mounting plate 43. A fan 46 is provided on the inner wall of the circular grooves 44.
[0028] The welding placement frame 33 is equipped with positioners 31 on both sides of its outer wall. The positioners 31 are rotatably mounted on both sides of their inner walls. One side of the outer wall of each of the two positioners 32 is fixedly connected to the welding placement frame 33. The positioners 31 can drive the welding placement frame 33 to rotate through the positioners 32, thereby adjusting the welding angle of the tie rod.
[0029] Both positioners 31 are fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1. The tie rod sleeve positioning cylinder 36 and the tie rod clamping cylinder 37 are symmetrically arranged. The output end of the tie rod sleeve positioning cylinder 36 is provided with an arc-shaped positioning plate for positioning the tie rod sleeve. The output end of the tie rod clamping cylinder 37 is provided with a top block for positioning and clamping the tie rod. The output end of the tie rod left and right clamping cylinder 38 is provided with an arc-shaped clamping plate for clamping the tie rod left and right.
[0030] Figures 1-5 The second embodiment is shown. The main difference from the first embodiment is that the cleaning assembly 4 also includes a mounting frame 42. The mounting plate 43 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the mounting frame 42 via a rotating shaft, so that the mounting plate 43 can rotate on the mounting frame 42. One end of the outer wall of the rotating shaft passes through the outer wall of the mounting frame 42 and is fixedly mounted with a gear 48.
[0031] A rack 49 is meshed on one side of the outer wall of the gear 48. An electric push rod 410 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the mounting bracket 42. The output end of the electric push rod 410 is fixedly connected to the rack 49. The rack 49 is moved by the electric push rod 410, which in turn drives the gear 48 to rotate, thereby changing the angle of the fan 46 on the mounting plate 43 and improving the cleaning effect on the welding area.
[0032] The fan 46 consists of fan blades and a motor. The motor drives the fan blades to rotate, which generates wind power. Both mounting brackets 42 are fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1.
[0033] Furthermore, any content not described in detail in this specification is existing technology known to those skilled in the art.
[0034] During operation, the lightweight tie rod to be welded is placed on the tie rod fixture plate 34. First, the tie rod center sleeve support plate 39 positions the center sleeve of the workpiece to ensure accurate positioning. Then, the tie rod outer sleeve positioning cylinder 36 extends, and its output end arc-shaped positioning plate positions the tie rod outer sleeve to fix its position. Next, the tie rod clamping cylinder 37 operates, and the top block at its output end clamps the tie rod, initially fixing it. Finally, the tie rod left and right clamping cylinder 38 operates, and its output end arc-shaped clamping plate clamps the tie rod from both sides, completing the precise positioning and fixing of the tie rod from all directions. At this time, under the action of the positioner 31 and the positioner flipping shaft 32, the welding placement frame 33 can be flipped according to the welding requirements, driving the fixed tie rod to the appropriate welding angle and position. Through the coordinated action of the tie rod center sleeve support plate 39, the tie rod outer sleeve positioning cylinder 36, the tie rod clamping cylinder 37, and the tie rod left and right clamping cylinders 38, the precise positioning and firm fixation of the lightweight tie rod are achieved, effectively avoiding the problem of the tie rod shifting due to insecure fixation during the welding process, and improving the stability and consistency of the tie rod welding quality. The welding placement frame 33, in conjunction with the positioner 31 and the positioner flipping shaft 32, achieves precise positioning and firm fixation of the lightweight tie rod. The rotating shaft 32 allows for flexible multi-angle rotation, enabling the tie rod to be positioned at different welding angles and locations. This meets the needs of various complex welding processes, improving welding adaptability and efficiency. It is suitable for welding lightweight tie rods of different types and shapes. After welding, to clean the welding area, the electric push rod 410 is activated, its output end pushing the rack 49 to move. Since the rack 49 meshes with the gear 48, it drives the gear 48 to rotate. The rotation of the gear 48 drives the mounting plate 43 to rotate via the rotating shaft, adjusting the fan 46 on the mounting plate 43 to a suitable angle and position. The fan 46, driven by a motor, generates airflow to clean the surface of the welded tie rod and its surrounding area, removing welding residue and other debris, thus achieving the cleaning purpose.
