[0019] The tool cabinet welding assembly line will be further described below in conjunction with the drawings and examples, but it is not intended to limit the tool cabinet welding assembly line.

[0020] Example: tool cabinet welding assembly line, such as Figure 1As shown, the existing pipeline is improved on the basis of the existing pipeline, the existing pipeline includes a conveyor 1, a plurality of welding stations 2 are formed on the conveyor 1, a welding device 3 is arranged on one side of the welding station 2, and a smoke hood 4 connected to a top exhaust fan is arranged above the welding station 2, the exhaust port of the exhaust fan is led out of the workshop, the smoke hood 4 forms a negative pressure, and the smoke hood 4 is connected to the top ceiling of the workshop by a boom. The improvements are as follows:

[0021] A lifting mechanism is arranged on the outer side of the welding station 2, and a rectangular hard pipe 5 is arranged between the welding station 2 and the smoke hood 4. A plurality of air supply openings 6 are arranged at the top of the hard pipe 5, a flat guide pipe 13 is arranged at the air supply opening 6, the guide pipe 13 points to the inner side of the smoke hood 4, and the hard pipe 5 is connected to a high-pressure air blower 8 through a hose 7. When the power of the air blower is large enough, a plurality of hoses 7 can share one air blower 8.

[0022] The lifting mechanism includes two double-acting type air cylinders 9, the two air cylinders 9 are respectively located below two diagonally opposite sides of the hard pipe 5, the cylinder body of the air cylinder 9 is fixed to the ground or the rack of the conveyor 1, and the piston rod of the air cylinder 9 is fixed to the hard pipe 5.

[0023] The pipeline further includes a control system, the control system includes an FX2N type controller 10, an electromagnetic valve 11 is arranged between the controller 10 and the air cylinder 9, the electric control end of the electromagnetic valve 11 is connected to the signal output end of the controller 10, the air cylinder 9 is connected to a compressed gas source such as an air compressor through the two-position five-way electromagnetic valve 11, the air blower 8 is connected to the mains through the controller 10, and the air blower 8 is connected to the relay output end of the controller 10.

[0024] One side of the welding station 2 is provided with two sensors 12 distributed forward and backward along the conveying direction of the conveyor 1, the sensor 12 is fixed to the rack of the conveyor 1 through a support, the sensor 12 is an E3F-DS30C4 type infrared distance sensor, the sensor 12 is connected to the signal input end of the controller 10, and the sensor 12 is fixed to the rack of the conveyor 1 through the support.

[0025] Working principle: In the initial state, the cylinder 9 keeps the hard tube 5 close to the fume hood 4, ensuring the tool cabinet on the conveyor can pass smoothly from the bottom of the hard tube 5. When the tool cabinet enters the welding station 2 and is detected by the sensor 12 on the front side of the station, the controller 10 makes the cylinder 9 retract through the electromagnetic valve 11, and the blower 8 is started by being connected to the mains. The hard tube 5 is lowered, approaching the conveying surface of the conveyor 1. At this time, the tool cabinet is surrounded by the hard tube 5, and the airflow generated by the blower 8 enters the hard tube 5 from the hose 7, exits from the air outlet 6, and forms an air curtain under the action of the flat guide pipe 13, which is directed to the fume hood. It is necessary to avoid the air curtain directly hitting the tool cabinet on the welding station 2, and to avoid changing the direction of the airflow. Due to the blocking effect of the air curtain, the smoke generated during welding is not easy to spread to the entire workshop, and the air curtain airflow gives the smoke upward power, promoting the smoke into the fume hood 4. When the welding is completed and the tool cabinet moves a small distance without touching the hard tube 5, the sensor 12 on the rear side of the station generates a signal, and the controller 10 makes the cylinder 9 extend through the electromagnetic valve 11, raises the hard tube 5, does not hinder the advancement of the tool cabinet, and closes the blower 8 to reduce energy consumption.
