Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of welding equipment, and more specifically to a pipeline follow-up arrangement device. Background Technology

[0002] Welding equipment, as an important tool in modern industrial production, typically relies on various pipelines to complete complex processes during welding. These pipelines are usually used to transport gases, liquids, or electricity, such as shielding gases (e.g., argon, nitrogen), coolants, or welding current, to ensure the precision and stability of the welding process.

[0003] In battery production lines, the design and layout of piping for welding equipment are particularly critical, especially during electrode welding or module welding. Battery production lines require high production speeds and automation levels, necessitating piping with excellent durability and flexibility to adapt to the high-speed operation of welding equipment and complex process environments. During welding, piping connected to the welding equipment is easily subject to entanglement, compression, pulling, and wear, and may also restrict the range of motion and flexibility of the welding equipment.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a device for dynamically arranging pipelines has become a technical problem that needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, this application proposes a pipeline follow-up arrangement device.

[0006] According to this application, a pipeline follow-up arrangement device is proposed. This device is installed within a welding workbench or welding workspace and is used to follow up the arrangement of pipelines connected to welding equipment. The pipeline follow-up arrangement device includes: a movable following mechanism installed on the welding equipment and connected to the pipelines connected to the welding equipment; a horizontal fixed moving mechanism installed independently of the welding workbench and used to raise the height of the pipelines connected to the welding equipment; and a follow-up mechanism fixed to the welding workbench and used to gradually raise the height of the pipelines to prevent the pipelines from becoming entangled or squeezed.

[0007] Specifically, the actuator movement following mechanism includes: a connecting pipe for connecting the welding equipment to the external pipeline; and a support frame with the same height as the connecting pipe for supporting the external pipeline.

[0008] Specifically, the connecting pipe is a bent pipe structure, and there are two connecting pipes arranged in parallel.

[0009] Specifically, the support frame is annular to allow the pipeline to pass through.

[0010] Specifically, the horizontal fixed connection mechanism is located at the top of the support member on the floor of the welding workspace, or the horizontal fixed connection mechanism is located on the top surface of the welding workspace.

[0011] Specifically, the follow-up mechanism includes a support rod and a first clamping member and a second clamping member fixedly connected to the support rod.

[0012] Specifically, the first clamping member is disposed at the top of the support rod to maintain the height of the pipeline; the second clamping member is disposed on the bottom side of the support rod to guide the pipeline through the first clamping member.

[0013] Specifically, the first clamping member and the second clamping member can rotate in situ.

[0014] Specifically, the angle of in-situ rotation of the first clamping member and the second clamping member is 0°-360°.

[0015] Specifically, both the first clamping member and the second clamping member are circular ring structures, and the inner diameter of the circular ring structure is larger than the outer diameter of the pipeline.

[0016] The pipeline follow-up device proposed in this application connects the pipeline connected to the welding equipment to the following mechanism, and passes through the horizontal fixed moving mechanism and the follow-up mechanism on the welding table. This reduces the drag force of the pipeline, prevents entanglement and damage, improves the flexibility and operating efficiency of the welding equipment, avoids the problem of long pipeline routing, and saves costs.

[0017] Other features and advantages of this application will be described in detail in the following detailed description section. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solution of this application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0024] The welding process is one of the key steps in battery manufacturing, typically including cell welding, tab welding, module welding, and structural component welding of the battery pack. To meet the high-precision welding and marking requirements of battery production, nitrogen pipes and laser marking tubes are essential components of the welding equipment. However, in current production lines, the welding equipment moves along the line at high speed, and the nitrogen pipes and laser marking tubes are haphazardly arranged, easily leading to problems such as pipe compression, entanglement, wear, and pulling.

[0025] Therefore, this application proposes a pipeline follow-up arrangement device, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the pipeline follow-up arrangement device is installed in the welding workbench 1 or welding work space for follow-up arrangement of pipelines connected to the welding equipment 2. The pipeline follow-up arrangement device includes: a movable follow-up mechanism, which is installed on the welding equipment 2 and connected to the pipelines connected to the welding equipment 2; a horizontal fixed moving mechanism, which is installed independently of the welding workbench 1 and is used to raise the height of the pipelines connected to the welding equipment 2; and a follow-up mechanism, which is fixed on the welding workbench 1 and is used to gradually raise the height of the pipelines to prevent the pipelines from getting tangled or squeezed.

[0026] The aforementioned moving follower mechanism is fixed to the welding equipment 2, which prevents direct pulling on the pipelines directly connected to the welding equipment 2 during operation. This avoids problems such as pipeline detachment and breakage, and also prevents slight displacement of the welding equipment 2, affecting welding accuracy. During welding, the moving follower mechanism ensures that the pipelines connected to the welding equipment 2 are not pulled, thus guaranteeing the stability of the welding equipment 2 during welding. The moving follower mechanism also provides a unified arrangement for the pipelines, preventing entanglement of pipelines around the welding equipment 2.

[0027] The aforementioned horizontal fixed moving mechanism is used to keep the pipeline connected to the aforementioned movable following mechanism at a height that is substantially the same as that of the movable following mechanism and at an appropriate distance from the movable following mechanism, so as to avoid compression or entanglement between the pipelines. The aforementioned horizontal fixed moving mechanism is set within the welding work space.

[0028] The aforementioned follow-up mechanism is set at one end of the welding workbench 1. It is used to gradually raise or lower the height of the pipeline passing through the horizontal fixing mechanism to prevent the pipeline from folding due to gravity when it goes directly downward. Secondly, setting the follow-up mechanism on the workbench reduces the number of pipelines and saves costs.

[0029] The pipeline follow-up device proposed in this application connects the pipeline to the welding equipment to the following mechanism, and allows the pipeline to pass through the horizontal fixed moving mechanism and the follow-up mechanism on the welding table. This reduces the drag force on the pipeline, prevents tangling and damage, and improves the flexibility and operating efficiency of the welding equipment. It also avoids the problem of long pipeline runs, saving costs.

[0030] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, to ensure that the pipeline directly connected to the welding equipment 2 does not experience pulling during welding, the movable following mechanism specifically includes: a connecting pipe 3, which connects the pipeline to the welding equipment 2 and the external pipeline; and a support frame 4, whose height is the same as that of the connecting pipe 3, for supporting the external pipeline. The connecting pipe 3 ensures a stable connection between the pipeline of the welding equipment 2 and the external pipeline, preventing the welding equipment 2 from moving and being displaced due to pulling on the external pipeline. The support frame 4, designed to be the same height as the connecting pipe 3, supports the external pipeline, preventing it from sagging due to gravity, causing folding, or covering the welding equipment 2 and affecting its operation.

[0031] To connect the pipes directly connected to the welding equipment 2 with external pipes, specifically, the connecting pipe 3 can be a bent pipe structure, and there can be two connecting pipes 3 arranged in parallel. The bent pipe structure of the connecting pipe 3 avoids pipe compression, can adapt to complex installation environments, and optimizes space utilization; the internal spaces of the two parallel connecting pipes 3 are independent of each other, which can simultaneously meet the needs of the welding equipment 2 to connect different pipes. The connecting pipe 3 can be connected to the pipe in an appropriate manner, as long as it can be ensured that the pipe directly connected to the welding equipment 2 will not be stretched during the welding process; the pipe can pass through the connecting pipe 3, or the pipe can be connected to the connecting pipe 3, and the other end of the connecting pipe 3 can be connected to the external pipe.

[0032] like Figure 3 As shown, to provide support for the pipeline so that it can pass through the support frame 4, specifically, the support frame 4 can be annular to allow the pipeline to pass through. The inner diameter of the support frame 4 can be consistent with the outer diameter of the pipeline to fix the pipeline and prevent damage to the pipeline interface of the welding equipment 2 during pulling. The support frame 4 is detachable to fix the pipeline or allow it to pass through.

[0033] To prevent pipes connected to the moving follower mechanism from folding or tangling due to gravity, the horizontal fixed connection mechanism can be specifically installed at the top of a support member on the floor of the welding workspace. This support member, parallel to the direction of movement of the welding worktable 1, includes one horizontal bar and two vertical bars, with a height approximately the same as or higher than the moving follower mechanism. The horizontal fixed connection mechanism is movably connected to the horizontal bar, which can be a guide rail, allowing the horizontal fixed mechanism to slide with the movement of the pipes. Alternatively, the horizontal fixed connection mechanism can be installed on the top surface of the welding workspace. A guide rail is installed on the top surface of the welding workspace, and the horizontal fixed connection mechanism can be a hanging rail, slidably connected to the guide rail. In this application, the horizontal fixed structure is installed on the top surface of the welding workspace, which saves floor space as much as possible (not shown in the accompanying drawings).

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, to allow the pipeline to gradually increase or decrease in height, a movable following mechanism is connected via a horizontal fixing mechanism. Specifically, the movable following mechanism may include a support rod 5 and a first clamping member 6 and a second clamping member 7 fixedly connected to the support rod 5. The support rod 5 is fixedly connected to one side of the welding workbench 1 and is located on the same side as the horizontal fixing mechanism. This reduces pipeline routing, guides the pipeline in a unified direction, effectively reduces pipeline bending and crossing in space, and avoids operational obstruction or damage caused by entanglement. The height of the support rod 5 is basically the same as the height of the connecting pipe 3, ensuring the relative fixation of the pipeline in its height position. The first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 7 are used to guide the pipeline's height to rise or fall. Specifically, the first clamping member 6 may be located at the top of the support rod 5 to maintain the pipeline's height; the second clamping member 7 may be located on the bottom side of the support rod 5 to guide the pipeline passing through the first clamping member 6. It can optimize pipeline layout, improve the adaptability of production lines, and avoid stress concentration or twisting caused by height changes; the support rod 5 and clamping parts have a simple structure, which facilitates quick installation and disassembly, and the pipeline layout is standardized and the position is visible, which improves maintenance efficiency and reduces production downtime; the adjustable and fixed pipeline height makes it adaptable to different welding scenarios and spatial layouts, especially performing well in multi-layer equipment or high-precision applications.

[0035] To improve the flexibility of pipeline layout, specifically, the first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 7 can rotate in place. This allows for flexible adjustment of the pipeline's angle and direction, adapting to complex routing requirements in different equipment or production scenarios, and preventing excessive bending or uneven stress on the pipeline. The in-place rotation angle of the first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 7 can be 0°-360°. When the welding equipment 2 moves or adjusts its position, the rotation function of the clamping members allows the pipeline to change direction accordingly, preventing excessive pulling or friction caused by the pipeline's fixed angle, extending the service life of the pipeline and its connection interfaces; preventing interference or entanglement between the pipeline and other equipment, lines, or structures, ensuring smooth operation of the production line. The rotating clamping members allow the pipeline to run at a natural angle, avoiding stress concentration caused by the inconsistency between the fixed position and the direction of equipment movement, reducing fatigue damage, and improving the reliability of the pipeline system.

[0036] To ensure pipeline flexibility, specifically, both the first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 7 can be ring structures, and the inner diameter of the ring structure can be larger than the outer diameter of the pipeline. This avoids direct contact between the clamping members and the pipeline, reduces frictional resistance during operation, and makes the pipeline easier to slide or adjust, ensuring flexibility. Under high or low temperature conditions, the pipeline may experience thermal expansion and contraction; the ring design provides sufficient room for movement, effectively preventing jamming or damage caused by dimensional changes. It disperses the constraint force on the pipeline, preventing deformation or wear due to excessive local clamping, and extending the pipeline's service life. The pipeline can move freely within the ring, and combined with the in-situ rotation function of the clamping members, it can dynamically adapt to changes in equipment or pipeline paths, effectively avoiding entanglement and pulling problems. The pipeline can easily pass through the ring, reducing cumbersome disassembly and assembly steps, while facilitating subsequent cleaning and maintenance, improving production efficiency. Figure 4 As shown, the first clamping member 6 and the second clamping member 7 are detachable to facilitate fixing the pipeline during installation, thus securing the pipeline within the space of the clamping member. The detachable connection can be threaded or snap-fit. In this application, a threaded connection is used to prevent the pipeline from detaching from the clamping member during the operation of the welding equipment, thus preventing problems such as pipeline entanglement and pulling.
