[0028] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0029] This utility model provides a novel automatic friction welding device for steel claws, such as... Figure 1-10 As shown, the novel automatic friction welding equipment for steel claws includes: a horizontal friction welding machine 1, which is used to weld the crossbeam and round bar of the anode steel claw; a lifting conveying trough 2 and a guide trough 15 disposed on one side of the horizontal friction welding machine 1, wherein the lifting conveying trough 2 is used to convey the round bar to the welding rotor of the horizontal friction welding machine 1, and the guide trough 15 is used to guide the welded crossbeam and round bar; a feeder 3 disposed on one side of the horizontal friction welding machine 1, which is used to feed the crossbeam to be welded into the guide trough 15; a conveying and cutting mechanism disposed on one side of the horizontal friction welding machine 1, which is used to convey the cut round bar material and send it into the lifting conveying trough 2; and a pushing mechanism disposed at the discharge end of the guide trough 15, which is used to push and place the welded anode steel claw.

[0030] In this embodiment, the crossbeam to be welded is first fed into the guide groove 15 by the feeder 3. Simultaneously, the conveying and cutting mechanism conveys and cuts the round bar material, and then sends the round bar to the welding head of the horizontal friction welding machine 1 via the lifting conveying groove 2. Subsequently, the horizontal friction welding machine 1 performs welding operations on the crossbeam and the round bar. After welding, the welded anode steel claw reaches the discharge end via the guide groove 15, where it is pushed and placed in a designated position by the pushing mechanism. This novel automatic friction welding equipment for steel claws effectively solves the problem of low production efficiency caused by the reliance on manual welding in traditional structural steel claw production methods. Through the coordinated operation of various mechanisms, the steel claw welding process is automated, reducing reliance on manual operation and heavy equipment such as cranes, greatly improving production flexibility and efficiency, reducing labor costs and production limitations caused by equipment dependence, and ensuring efficient and stable production.

[0031] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, the conveying and cutting mechanism includes: a plate chain conveyor 4 disposed on one side of the horizontal friction welding machine 1, the plate chain conveyor 4 having a notch adapted to the feeding end of the lifting conveyor trough 2, allowing the cut round bars to pass through and enter the lifting conveyor trough 2; a saw 5 disposed on the feeding end of the plate chain conveyor 4, the saw 5 being used to cut the round bars at equal intervals; a first hydraulic cylinder 8 mounted on the plate chain conveyor 4 via a bracket, the output rod of the first hydraulic cylinder 8 having a first push block 9 fixedly installed, the first push block 9 being used to push the round bars through the notch; and a roller conveyor 6 disposed on the feeding end of the saw 5, the roller conveyor 6 being used to convey the round bars into the saw 5.

[0032] In this embodiment, the roller conveyor 6 transports the round bar material to the sawing machine 5, which cuts the round bar material at equal intervals according to a set program. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 8 actuates, and the first pusher 9 on its output rod pushes the round bar material through a notch on the plate chain conveyor 4 that matches the feed end of the lifting conveyor trough 2, allowing the cut round bar to enter the lifting conveyor trough 2. Next, the round bar is transported by the lifting conveyor trough 2. After the cylinder senses the round bar, it pushes it to the round bar temporary storage clamp, and then the lifting device transports a single round bar to a designated position for standby. Simultaneously, the slider on the friction welding machine clamps the crossbeam, the hydraulic cylinder advances 400mm, and after pushing the round bar, the lifting machine descends to continue picking up the material. The slider continues to advance 150mm, and the claw plate automatically clamps. After the claw plate clamps, the hydraulic oil applies pressure to clamp, the welding motor starts, and welding begins. This process is repeated four times to complete the welding. Finally, the hydraulic cylinder unloading slider retracts to the designated point, the welded steel claw is pushed to the cylinder position, and then automatically pushed out by the cylinder, sliding automatically along the track to the inspection area by gravity. The conveying and cutting mechanism of this utility model includes a plate chain conveyor 4 set on one side of the horizontal friction welding machine 1, which has a notch adapted to the feeding end of the lifting conveyor trough 2; a saw 5 at the feeding end of the plate chain conveyor 4 for sawing round bars at equal intervals; a first hydraulic cylinder 8 mounted on the plate chain conveyor 4 via a bracket, with a first pusher 9 fixedly installed on its output rod for pushing the round bars through the notch; and a roller conveyor 6 at the feeding end of the saw 5 for conveying the round bars into the saw 5. Compared with traditional welding, this utility model achieves a high degree of automation through the coordinated work of various components. The saw 5 automatically cuts the round bars, and the plate chain conveyor 4 and other components transport the round bars in an orderly manner, with each link closely connected, reducing manual intervention. This not only improved production efficiency and reduced labor costs, but also changed the welding process, greatly increased the welding contact area, increased the reliability and stability of the welding, effectively reduced overall costs, and improved production efficiency.

[0033] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, the pushing and placing mechanism includes: a pushing frame 12 disposed at the discharge end of the guide groove 15, a placement frame 7 fixedly welded to the pushing frame 12, the placement frame 7 being used to temporarily store the welded anode steel claws; a third hydraulic cylinder 13 fixedly mounted on the pushing frame 12 by a bracket; and a second push plate 14 fixedly mounted on the output rod of the third hydraulic cylinder 13, the second push plate 14 being used to push the welded anode steel claws onto the placement frame 7.

[0034] In this embodiment, when the welded anode steel claw reaches the discharge end of the guide trough 15, the pushing mechanism starts working. The third hydraulic cylinder 13 is activated, its output rod extends, and the second push plate 14, fixedly mounted on the output rod, pushes the welded anode steel claw onto the placement rack 7 set on the push frame 12 as the output rod moves, realizing the pushing and temporary storage of the welded anode steel claw. The pushing mechanism includes a push frame 12 set at the discharge end of the guide trough 15, and a placement rack 7 for temporarily storing the welded anode steel claw is welded and fixed on the push frame 12. At the same time, the third hydraulic cylinder 13 is fixedly mounted on the push frame 12 by a bracket, and the second push plate 14, fixedly mounted on the output rod of the third hydraulic cylinder 13, is used to push the welded anode steel claw to the placement rack 7. The setting of this pushing mechanism enables the welded anode steel claw to be pushed from the discharge end of the guide trough 15 to the placement rack 7 for temporary storage in an orderly manner, realizing the automation and standardization of the post-welding processing of the steel claw. This avoids the problems of untimely and inaccurate delivery that may occur with manual pushing, improves the continuity and stability of the production process, further enhances the overall production efficiency, and also provides convenience for subsequent operations such as inspection and transfer of the welded anode steel claws.

[0035] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second hydraulic cylinder 11 and a fifth hydraulic cylinder 41 are fixedly mounted on the frame of the feeder 3 by means of a bracket. A first push plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the output rod of the second hydraulic cylinder 11 and the fifth hydraulic cylinder 41. The first push plate 10 is used to push the crossbeam into the guide groove 15.

[0036] In this embodiment, during the operation of the automatic friction welding equipment for steel claws, when a crossbeam needs to be fed into the guide groove 15, the second hydraulic cylinder 11 and the fifth hydraulic cylinder 41, which are fixedly mounted on the frame of the feeder 3 via brackets, begin to work. The output rods of these two hydraulic cylinders extend synchronously, and the first push plate 10, fixedly mounted on the output rod, pushes the crossbeam into the guide groove 15 as the output rod extends, completing the crossbeam feeding operation. The second hydraulic cylinder 11 and the fifth hydraulic cylinder 41 are fixedly mounted on the frame of the feeder 3 via brackets, and the first push plate 10 is fixedly mounted on the output rods of both the second hydraulic cylinder 11 and the fifth hydraulic cylinder 41. This first push plate 10 plays a crucial role in pushing the crossbeam into the guide groove 15. By setting the second hydraulic cylinder 11 and the fifth hydraulic cylinder 41 to jointly drive the first push plate 10 to push the crossbeam, the pushing power and stability are enhanced. Compared to a single hydraulic cylinder drive, the dual hydraulic cylinder design can push the crossbeam into the guide groove 15 more smoothly and powerfully, ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of the crossbeam feeding process. This helps improve the overall efficiency of the automatic friction welding equipment for steel claws, ensures the smooth operation of the production process, and reduces production delays caused by untimely or inadequate feeding of the crossbeam.

[0037] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a sliding frame 37 is fixedly installed on the guide groove 15, a first cylinder 16 is mounted on the sliding frame 37, and a pressure block 17 is fixedly installed on the output rod of the first cylinder 16. The pressure block 17 is used to limit the crossbeam to be welded that is pushed into the guide groove 15.

[0038] In this embodiment, during the operation of the automatic friction welding equipment with steel claws, when the crossbeam to be welded is pushed into the guide groove 15, the first cylinder 16 on the sliding frame 37 mounted on the guide groove 15 begins to work. The output rod of the first cylinder 16 extends, and the pressure block 17 fixedly mounted on the output rod moves downward as the output rod extends, thereby limiting the crossbeam to be welded in the guide groove 15 and ensuring that the crossbeam is fixed in position within the guide groove 15. The sliding frame 37 is fixedly mounted on the guide groove 15, and the first cylinder 16 is mounted on the sliding frame 37. The pressure block 17 for limiting the crossbeam pushed into the guide groove 15 is fixedly mounted on the output rod of the first cylinder 16. This structure effectively improves the positioning accuracy and stability of the crossbeam to be welded in the guide groove 15. By limiting the crossbeam with the pressure block 17, it is possible to prevent the crossbeam from shaking or shifting within the guide groove 15, ensuring the accuracy of the crossbeam's position in subsequent welding processes, thereby improving the welding quality. Meanwhile, this limiting structure is simple and reliable, and is easy to operate by cylinder drive, which helps to improve the working reliability and stability of the entire automatic friction welding equipment for steel claws and ensures the smooth progress of the production process.

[0039] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a third guide rod 36 is symmetrically arranged on the sliding frame 37, and a positioning plate that can be supported on the ground is fixedly installed on the third guide rod 36. A fourth hydraulic cylinder 35 for adjusting the lateral movement of the sliding frame 37 is fixedly installed on the positioning plate, and the output shaft of the fourth hydraulic cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 37.

[0040] In this embodiment, during equipment operation, when the lateral movement of the sliding frame 37 needs to be adjusted, the fourth hydraulic cylinder 35 starts to work. The output shaft of the fourth hydraulic cylinder 35 extends and retracts. Since the output shaft is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 37, it drives the sliding frame 37 to move laterally along the third guide rod 36. The third guide rod 36 provides guidance for the lateral movement of the sliding frame 37, ensuring its smooth movement. The positioning plate is fixed on the third guide rod 36 and supported on the ground, providing a stable support foundation for the entire structure. The third guide rod 36 is symmetrically arranged on the sliding frame 37. A positioning plate that can be supported on the ground is fixedly installed on the third guide rod 36. The fourth hydraulic cylinder 35 for adjusting the lateral movement of the sliding frame 37 is fixedly installed on the positioning plate, and the output shaft of the fourth hydraulic cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to the sliding frame 37.

[0041] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a fixed frame 38 is fixedly installed on the plate chain conveyor 4, a third cylinder 40 is assembled on the fixed frame 38, and a baffle 39 is provided on the output rod of the third cylinder 40, the baffle 39 being used to block the round bar.

[0042] In this embodiment, when the equipment is running and it is necessary to block the round bar, the third cylinder 40 mounted on the fixed frame 38 of the plate chain conveyor 4 starts to work. The output rod of the third cylinder 40 extends or retracts, and the baffle 39 provided on the output rod moves accordingly with the movement of the output rod. When the output rod extends, the baffle 39 moves to a suitable position to block the round bar being conveyed on the plate chain conveyor 4.

[0043] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, an assembly plate 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the roller conveyor 6, and an adjustable limiting frame 20 is provided on the assembly plate 18. The limiting frame 20 is used to limit and guide the round bar material.

[0044] In this embodiment, during equipment operation, when the round bar stock is conveyed on the roller conveyor 6, the adjustable limit frame 20 provided on the assembly plate 18 plays a role. The limit frame 20 is pre-adjusted according to the size of the round bar stock, conveying requirements, etc., to ensure it is in a suitable position. During the conveying process of the round bar stock, the limit frame 20 acts as a limiting and guiding mechanism, ensuring that the round bar stock is stably conveyed along the set path on the roller conveyor 6 and smoothly enters the sawing machine 5. An assembly plate 18 is fixedly installed on one side of the roller conveyor 6, and an adjustable limit frame 20 is provided on the assembly plate 18. This limit frame 20 is specifically used for limiting and guiding the round bar stock.

[0045] In a further preferred embodiment of the present invention, a movable and adjustable second cylinder 19 is provided on the assembly plate 18, and the output rod of the second cylinder 19 is fixedly connected to the limit frame 20 for adjusting its lifting and lowering.

[0046] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to adjust the height of the limiting frame 20 during use, the movable and adjustable second cylinder 19 on the assembly plate 18 starts to work. By controlling the extension and retraction of the output rod of the second cylinder 19, since the output rod is fixedly connected to the limiting frame 20, the limiting frame 20 rises when the output rod extends and falls when the output rod retracts, thereby realizing the adjustment of the lifting and lowering of the limiting frame 20 to adapt to the limiting and guiding requirements of round bars of different diameters.

[0047] In a further preferred embodiment of this utility model, a guide roller is rotatably mounted on the pusher frame 12 via a bearing, and through grooves adapted to the round bar are provided at equal intervals on the placement frame 7.

[0048] In this embodiment, when the welded anode steel claw is pushed to the pusher frame 12, the guide rollers mounted on the pusher frame 12 via bearings begin to function. The guide rollers roll under the push of the steel claw, helping the steel claw move more smoothly towards the placement frame 7. When the steel claw reaches the placement frame 7, it falls into the equally spaced through slots on the placement frame 7 that are adapted to the round bars, thus achieving the positioning of the steel claw on the placement frame 7.

[0049] To further improve the performance of this device, in addition to the above-mentioned solutions, this solution also includes the following embodiments:

[0050] In another embodiment of this utility model, the assembly plate 18 is provided with an adjustment mechanism for controlling the lateral movement of the second cylinder 19. The adjustment mechanism includes: a screw 28 rotatably mounted on the assembly plate 18 via a bearing, an adjustment block 34 threadedly sleeved on the screw 28, the bottom of the adjustment block 34 being fixedly connected to the base of the second cylinder 19; a second guide rod 29 slidably mounted on the adjustment block 34, the second guide rod 29 being fixedly connected to the assembly plate 18; a transmission rod 33 rotatably mounted on the assembly plate 18 via a bearing; a motor 31 fixedly mounted on the assembly plate 18, a first bevel tooth 30 and a second bevel tooth 32 respectively fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the screw 28 and the motor 31, a third bevel tooth and a fourth bevel tooth respectively fixedly mounted on the top and bottom ends of the transmission rod 33, the third bevel tooth meshing with the first bevel tooth 30, and the fourth bevel tooth meshing with the third bevel tooth.

[0051] In this embodiment, when the lateral movement of the second cylinder 19 needs to be adjusted, the motor 31 starts, and the output shaft of the motor 31 drives the second bevel gear 32 to rotate. Since the second bevel gear 32 meshes with the first bevel gear 30, the first bevel gear 30 rotates accordingly, thereby driving the screw 28, which is rotatably mounted on the mounting plate 18 via bearings, to rotate. When the screw 28 rotates, the adjusting block 34, which is threaded onto it, moves linearly along the screw 28. Because the bottom of the adjusting block 34 is fixedly connected to the base of the second cylinder 19, the movement of the adjusting block 34 drives the second cylinder 19 to move laterally. During the movement of the adjusting block 34, the second guide rod 29, which is slidably mounted on the adjusting block 34, provides guidance for the movement of the adjusting block 34, ensuring its smooth lateral movement. At the same time, the third and fourth bevel gears at the top and bottom of the transmission rod 33 mesh with each other, and the third bevel gear meshes with the first bevel gear 30. This transmission structure ensures the effective transmission of power and the accuracy of adjustment; this adjustment mechanism provides a precise and convenient way to control the lateral movement of the second cylinder 19. Driven by motor 31, and utilizing a combination of bevel gear transmission and screw-nut transmission, the position of the second cylinder 19 can be precisely adjusted. This allows the lateral position of the limit frame 20 to be flexibly changed according to the conveying requirements of different round bars, further enhancing the adaptability of the limit frame 20 to different working conditions. The setting of the second guide rod 29 ensures the smooth movement of the adjusting block 34, thereby ensuring the stability of the lateral movement of the second cylinder 19. This precise and stable adjustment function helps to improve the accuracy of the entire equipment in limiting and guiding the round bars, enhances the versatility and effectiveness of the equipment, better meets diverse production needs, and ensures the smooth operation of the production process.

[0052] In another embodiment of this utility model, mounting shells 21 are symmetrically fixedly installed on the limiting frame 20. A sliding rod 22 and a first guide rod 24 are fixedly installed in each of the two mounting shells 21. The same sleeve plate 23 is slidably installed on the sliding rod 22 and the first guide rod 24. A side plate 26 for limiting the round bar is fixedly installed on the sleeve plate 23. The two side plates 26 are V-shaped. A spring 25 is sleeved on the sliding rod 22. Ball bearings 27 are respectively embedded in the side plate 26 and the limiting frame 20.

[0053] In this embodiment, the limiting frame 20 plays a role during the conveying of the round bar stock by the roller conveyor 6. When the round bar stock enters the area of ​​the limiting frame 20, it first contacts the side plates 26 due to their V-shape. As the round bar stock continues to move forward, the side plates 26 are compressed, and the sleeve plate 23 slides on the slide rod 22 and the first guide rod 24, compressing the spring 25 sleeved on the slide rod 22. The elastic force of the spring 25 causes the side plates 26 to exert a suitable compressive force on the round bar stock, thereby limiting the stock. At the same time, the ball bearings 27 embedded in the side plates 26 and the limiting frame 20 reduce friction when the side plates 26 slide, making the sliding of the side plates 26 smoother. The V-shaped design of the side plates 26 can better guide the round bar stock into the limiting area, and under the action of the spring 25, the side plates 26 can automatically adjust the compressive force on the round bar stock according to the actual situation, realizing adaptive limiting and improving the stability and reliability of the limiting. The slide bar 22 and the first guide bar 24 provide stable guidance for the sliding of the sleeve plate 23, ensuring smooth sliding of the side plate 26. The ball bearings 27 effectively reduce the friction between the side plate 26 and the limiting frame 20, reducing component wear and extending the equipment's service life. Overall, this structure enables the limiting frame 20 to more accurately and stably limit and guide the round bar material, improving the stability and reliability of the feeding process and ensuring smooth production.

[0054] In summary, compared with related technologies, the conveying and cutting mechanism automatically completes the conveying, cutting, and delivery of round bar stock to the welding position through components such as the roller conveyor 6, saw 5, and plate chain conveyor 4, reducing manual intervention2; the pushing mechanism, composed of the pushing frame 12 and the third hydraulic cylinder 13, realizes the automatic pushing and temporary storage of the welded steel claws, standardizing the post-processing stage3; the feeder 3, driven by dual hydraulic cylinders, precisely pushes the crossbeam, ensuring smooth feeding4; simultaneously, the mechanism for adjusting the lateral movement of the sliding frame 37 and the lifting and lateral movement of the limit frame 20 ensures the adaptability of the equipment to steel claw components of different specifications and the precision of operation5. Overall, it effectively solves the problems of low production efficiency and high cost caused by the reliance on manual welding in traditional production methods, improves production flexibility, efficiency, and welding quality, enhances the versatility and reliability of the equipment, and ensures efficient and stable production6.
