Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding technology, specifically relating to an automated production line for welding aluminum plates for battery boxes. Background Technology

[0002] Aluminum alloy battery boxes, being large and structurally complex components, rely heavily on welding technology in their manufacturing process. However, most current production lines still employ single-sided welding. This method reveals significant limitations in practice: the frequent movement of welding robots along the production line not only increases operational complexity but also easily leads to weak welds or even weld detachment, severely impacting product quality and reliability.

[0003] Even more challenging is that, due to limitations in the welding method, existing production lines cannot effectively handle the welding requirements on the other side of the battery box. To accomplish this task, the battery box must be rotated or the welding robot's position must be readjusted, a time-consuming and inefficient process that severely restricts the improvement of production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, given the current state of aluminum alloy battery box production lines, there is an urgent need for production line reform. Improving the existing equipment layout to achieve the ability to weld both sides of the battery box simultaneously or rapidly will be key to improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality. Such improvements will not only reduce instability factors in the welding process but also significantly shorten the production cycle and reduce production costs, thereby better meeting the market demand for efficient and high-quality aluminum alloy battery boxes. Therefore, this utility model proposes an automated production line for welding aluminum plates for battery boxes. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automated production line for welding aluminum plates for battery boxes, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To solve the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automated production line for welding aluminum plates of battery boxes, characterized in that: the automated production line for welding aluminum plates of battery boxes includes a ground rail assembly one and a ground rail assembly two, with several angle irons installed at equal intervals below the ground rail assembly one and the ground rail assembly two; a guide rail assembly one is provided on one side of the ground rail assembly one, and a guide rail assembly two is provided on one side of the ground rail assembly two; a safety chamber is provided between the ground rail assembly one and the ground rail assembly two; a welding power source, a barrel of welding wire, and a gas cylinder are respectively provided on both sides of the safety chamber; and a platform is provided on both sides of the ground rail assembly one and the ground rail assembly two, with steps provided on both sides of the multiple platforms. When current is connected to the welding power source and the production line is started, the guide rail assembly one runs, and the battery box slides onto the ground rail assembly one into the safety chamber for welding. After the aluminum plate of the battery box is welded, the welded battery box is transported out by the guide rail assembly two. During the operation of the production line, workers can reach the platform via the steps and observe the condition of the aluminum plates of the battery box on both sides before and after welding. The barrel-packaged welding wire offers stable wire feeding performance, making it suitable for automated production lines. It reduces labor intensity and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the gas cylinder provides protective gas during welding to prevent the welding area from contacting harmful gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in the air, thus avoiding defects such as oxidation and nitriding in the weld.

[0007] As a preferred technical solution, a control component 1 is provided on the first guide rail assembly, a control component 2 is provided on the second guide rail assembly, and a battery box feeding component is slidably mounted on the first ground rail assembly. The battery box feeding component can be engaged with both the first and second guide rail assemblies. The presence of control components 1 and 2 allows the battery box feeding component to smoothly feed the aluminum battery box to be welded into the safe room for welding. After welding, the welded aluminum battery box can be transported out via the second guide rail assembly 11.

[0008] As a preferred technical solution, safety railings are installed on both sides of the input and output ends of the safety room. A work platform is installed inside the safety room, connecting ground rail assembly one and ground rail assembly two. Base one and base two are respectively installed on both sides of the work platform. Welding robot one is mounted on base one, and welding robot two is mounted on base two. Gun cleaner one and gun cleaner two are positioned near the ground rail assembly one on welding robots one and two respectively. Installing gun cleaner one and gun cleaner two near welding robots one and two can effectively clean spatter that adheres to the welding torch gas protective sleeve during welding, ensuring long-term unobstructed flow of protective gas. Furthermore, welding robots one and two can rotate freely on base one and base two, allowing for omnidirectional welding of the battery box aluminum plate, resulting in higher welding efficiency.

[0009] As a preferred technical solution, a PLC control console is installed on the side of the safety room closest to the welding robot, and multiple light gratings are installed on the platform. The PLC control console 21, through programming, can achieve precise control of the industrial equipment, including operations such as starting, stopping, and speed adjustment. It supports multiple input / output interfaces, allowing connection to various sensors and actuators to achieve complex logic control and process monitoring. The light gratings installed on the platform can alert workers to their proximity to the edge of the platform 15, thereby avoiding accidental injury or even more serious consequences.

[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the first control component is electrically connected to the first guide rail component, and the second control component is electrically connected to the second guide rail component.

[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the PLC control console 21 is electrically connected to welding robot 9, welding robot 8, torch cleaner 6, torch cleaner 7 and dust collector 20.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0013] This invention innovates the traditional single-sided welding mode and optimizes the configuration of the welding robot, adopting a novel method of fixing the welding robot while moving the battery box on both sides for welding. This improvement not only greatly enhances welding efficiency and quality but also effectively avoids welding defects caused by the robot moving while welding in traditional single-sided welding, thereby significantly reducing the product defect rate.

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.

[0022] Example: Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides an automated production line for welding aluminum plates for battery boxes. This automated production line includes a first ground rail assembly 3 and a second ground rail assembly 10. Several angle irons 5 are installed at equal intervals below the first ground rail assembly 3 and the second ground rail assembly 10. A guide rail assembly 1 is provided on one side of the first ground rail assembly 3, and a guide rail assembly 11 is provided on one side of the second ground rail assembly 10. A safety chamber 14 is located between the first ground rail assembly 3 and the second ground rail assembly 10. A welding power source 23, a barrel of welding wire 22, and a gas cylinder 24 are respectively provided on both sides of the safety chamber 14. Platforms 15 are provided on both sides of the first ground rail assembly 3 and the second ground rail assembly 10, and steps are provided on both sides of the platforms 15. When current is connected to the welding power source 23, the production line is started. The guide rail assembly 11 moves, and the battery box slides onto the first ground rail assembly 3 into the safety chamber 14 for welding. After the aluminum plate welding of the battery box is completed, the guide rail assembly 21 transports the welded battery box out. During production line operation, workers can access platform 15 via steps to observe the condition of the aluminum plates on both sides of the battery box before and after welding. The barrelled welding wire 22 offers stable wire feeding performance, making it suitable for automated production lines, reducing labor intensity and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, during welding, gas cylinder 24 provides protective gas to prevent the welding area from contacting harmful gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in the air, thus avoiding defects such as oxidation and nitriding in the weld.

[0023] like Figure 2As shown, a control component 2 is mounted on the guide rail assembly 1, and a control component 12 is mounted on the guide rail assembly 11. A battery box feeding component 4 is slidably mounted on the ground rail assembly 3. The battery box feeding component 4 can be engaged with both the guide rail assembly 1 and the guide rail assembly 11. The control components 2 and 12 allow the battery box feeding component 4 to smoothly feed the aluminum battery box to be welded into the safety chamber 14 for welding. After welding, the welded aluminum battery box can be transported out via the guide rail assembly 11.

[0024] like Figures 4-5 As shown, safety railings 16 are installed on both sides of the input and output ends of the safety chamber 14. A work platform 13 is installed inside the safety chamber 14, connecting ground rail assembly 3 and ground rail assembly 10. Base 18 and base 2 17 are respectively installed on both sides of the work platform 13. Welding robot 9 is mounted on base 18, and welding robot 8 is mounted on base 2 17. A torch cleaner 6 and a torch cleaner 7 are installed near the ground rail assembly 3 on welding robots 9 and 8. Installing torch cleaners 6 and 7 near welding robots 9 and 8 effectively cleans spatter that adheres to the welding torch gas shield during welding, ensuring unobstructed flow of protective gas. Furthermore, welding robots 9 and 8 can rotate freely on bases 18 and 2 17, allowing for omnidirectional welding of the battery box aluminum plate, resulting in higher welding efficiency.

[0025] like Figure 1 As shown, the feature is that a PLC control console 21 is installed on the side of the safety room 14 near the welding robot 9, and multiple gratings are installed on the platforms 15. The PLC control console 21, through programming, can achieve precise control of industrial equipment, including operations such as starting, stopping, and speed adjustment. It supports multiple input / output interfaces and can connect to various sensors and actuators to achieve complex logic control and process monitoring. The gratings installed on the platforms 15 can alert workers to their proximity to the edge of the platforms 15, thereby avoiding accidental injuries or even more serious consequences.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the control component 12 is electrically connected to the guide rail component 1, and the control component 212 is electrically connected to the guide rail component 21.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, the PLC control console 21 is electrically connected to welding robot 1 9, welding robot 2 8, torch cleaner 1 6, torch cleaner 2 7 and dust collector 20.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: Current is connected to the welding power supply 23, and the production line is started by controlling the PLC control console 21. Control component 2 controls the guide rail component 1 to run, and the battery box feeding component 4 slides on the ground rail component 3, smoothly entering the work platform 13 inside the safety room 14. At this time, welding robots 9 and 8 perform welding on both sides of the battery box aluminum plate. During the welding process, gas cylinder 24 provides protective gas to prevent the welding area from contacting harmful gases such as oxygen and nitrogen in the air, avoiding defects such as oxidation and nitriding in the weld. Simultaneously, torch cleaners 6 and 7 clean the spatter that adheres to the welding torch gas protective sleeve during welding, ensuring long-term unobstructed flow of protective gas. Furthermore, welding robots 9 and 8 can rotate freely on bases 18 and 27, allowing for omnidirectional welding of the battery box aluminum plate, resulting in higher welding efficiency. After the battery box aluminum plate welding is completed, control component 2 12 controls the guide rail component 2 11 to transport the welded battery box out via the battery box feeding component 4. During the work process, workers can reach the collapse platform 15 via steps and observe the condition of the aluminum plates of the battery boxes on both sides before and after welding.
