Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of robot welding technology, specifically to a clamping fixture for robot welding that facilitates docking. Background Technology

[0002] A robotic welding fixture is a device used to fix and position workpieces for welding, ensuring their stability and precision during the welding process. It typically consists of components such as clamps, locating pins, and support frames, and can accommodate workpieces of different shapes and sizes. By working in conjunction with a robotic welding system, the fixture enables automated welding and is widely used in the automotive, aerospace, and other fields.

[0003] A robotic welding pipe clamping fixture for easy docking, disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN 222221645 U, involves placing two pipes on a first and second fixing ring respectively. A controller then activates a first servo motor, which rotates a first threaded rod. This rotation causes a threaded push rod to move downwards, which in turn moves a first mounting plate downwards. This downward movement of the first mounting plate then moves an upper first fixing frame downwards. Simultaneously, the push rod pushes a limit rod downwards, which in turn moves a second mounting plate downwards. The second mounting plate then moves an upper second fixing ring downwards, thus simultaneously fixing the two pipes. However, this robotic welding clamping fixture has low overall stability. During the welding process, external forces can cause welding misalignment, affecting the overall welding quality of the clamping fixture. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping fixture for robot welding that facilitates docking, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides two technical solutions:

[0021] Example 1: A clamping fixture for robot welding that facilitates docking includes a base plate 1. A linear motor 101 is installed in the middle of one side of the base plate 1. A movable seat 2 is installed on the top of the linear motor 101. When the linear motor 101 is started, it can push the movable seat 2 to move on the top of the base plate 1, so that the movable seat 2 can adjust the distance between itself and the second connecting seat 8, which facilitates the docking of two sets of welding parts.

[0022] A servo motor 201 is installed in the middle of one side of the movable seat 2. A take-up shaft 202 is installed at the output shaft end of the servo motor 201. A first connecting seat 3 is fixedly connected to one side of the take-up shaft 202. When the servo motor 201 is started, it can drive the first connecting seat 3 to rotate through the take-up shaft 202. At this time, the first connecting seat 3 can drive the welding part to adjust the welding angle.

[0023] The first connecting seat 3 is equipped with a first clamping mechanism 4 inside. Clamping parts 5 are provided at both ends of one side of the first clamping mechanism 4. A rotating mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the top of the base plate 1. A cleaning brush 7 is provided on one side of the rotating mechanism 6. A fixed seat 103 is fixedly connected to the middle position of one side of the top of the base plate 1. A second connecting seat 8 is rotatably connected to one side of the fixed seat 103. A limiting mechanism 9 is provided at the bottom of the interior of the second connecting seat 8. A second clamping mechanism 10 is provided on one side of the second connecting seat 8. The specifications of the second clamping mechanism 10 are the same as those of the first clamping mechanism 4. The clamping and limiting work of the two sets of welded parts can be performed by the second clamping mechanism 10 and the first clamping mechanism 4 respectively.

[0024] The first clamping mechanism 4 includes a bidirectional shaft motor 401 installed in the middle of the first connecting seat 3. Threaded rods 402 are installed on the output shaft ends on both sides of the bidirectional shaft motor 401. Threaded blocks 403 are threadedly connected to the external threads of the threaded rods 402, one side of which is fixedly connected to the clamping member 5. When the bidirectional shaft motor 401 is started, it can drive the threaded rods 402 on both sides to rotate. At this time, the threaded blocks 403 on the two sets of threaded rods 402 can move relative to each other on the threaded rods 402, and drive the clamping member 5 to perform the clamping work of the welded parts.

[0025] The limiting mechanism 9 includes a plug 301 fixedly connected to the bottom of one side of the first connecting seat 3. The plug 301 has slots 302 evenly arranged at equal intervals inside one side. When the plug 301 on the first connecting seat 3 is inserted into the through slot 801 on the second connecting seat 8, the slot 802 in the through slot 801 can be engaged in the slot 302 on the plug 301, thus completing the stable docking of the first connecting seat 3 and the second connecting seat 8.

[0026] The second connecting seat 8 has a through groove 801 inside one side that engages with the insert block 301. A locking block 802 is movably connected to one side of the through groove 801. A movable block 803 is fixedly connected to one side of the locking block 802. A spring 804 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 803. A second pull rope 805 is fixedly connected to the middle position of one side of the movable block 803. A handle 806 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the outer side of the second connecting seat 8. When the locking block 802 is subjected to a force from left to right, the spring 804 can be squeezed by the movable block 803. At this time, the locking block 802 can be retracted into the through groove 801. When the locking block 802 is released from the force, the locking block 802 can be pushed back to its original position by the reaction force of the spring 804 being squeezed by the movable block 803 due to the force. At the same time, the rotation of the handle 806 can pull the movable block 803 and the locking block 802 to move by the second pull rope 805.

[0027] Example 2 differs from Example 1 mainly in that:

[0028] A robotic welding clamping fixture for easy docking includes a rotating mechanism 6 comprising limiting plates 102 fixedly connected to both sides of the top of a base plate 1. A rotating rod 601 is rotatably connected inside the two sets of limiting plates 102. A movable shaft 602 is sleeved on the outside of the rotating rod 601. A first pull rope 203, fixedly connected to a winding shaft 202 on one side of the movable shaft 602, is fixedly connected to a slider 603 that slides within the rotating rod 601. A fixed seat 103, fixedly connected to a torsion spring 604 on one side of the rotating rod 601, is also fixedly connected to the first pull rope 203. Multiple strands are wound on the movable shaft 602. The first pull rope 203 is wound up by the winding shaft 202, which can drive the movable shaft 602 and the rotating rod 601 to rotate. At the same time, the movable shaft 602 is provided with a slider 603 to facilitate the movable shaft 602 to drive the rotating rod 601 to rotate. The movable shaft 602 can slide on the rotating rod 601 with the moving seat 2, and can be twisted when the rotating rod 601 rotates by the torsion spring 604. It can also be quickly reset when the rotating rod 601 is not under force. All contents not described in detail in this specification are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.

[0029] In this embodiment of the application, the two sets of workpieces to be welded are placed on one side of the first connecting seat 3 and the second connecting seat 8, respectively. At this time, the first clamping mechanism 4 and the second clamping mechanism 10 on the first connecting seat 3 and the second connecting seat 8 are activated, and the welded parts can be clamped on one side of the first connecting seat 3 and the second connecting seat 8, respectively. At this time, the linear motor 101 is activated and can push the moving seat 2 to move. The moving seat 2 can drive the welded parts on the first connecting seat 3 side to fit together with the welded parts on the second connecting seat 8 side. At the same time, the insert block 301 on the first connecting seat 3 side can be inserted into the through groove 801 in the second connecting seat 8. At this time, the locking block 802 in the through groove 801 can be locked into the locking groove 302 on the insert block 301, thus completing the stable docking of the two sets of welded parts.
