Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of motorcycle production equipment, and in particular relates to an arc welding device for motorcycle frames. Background Technology
[0002] The motorcycle frame needs to be welded using a welding robot. A welding robot is an industrial robot that performs welding (including cutting and painting). According to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) definition of an industrial robot as a standard welding robot, an industrial robot is a multi-purpose, reprogrammable, automatically controlled manipulator with three or more programmable axes used in industrial automation.
[0003] Because the camera of a conventional welding robot is relatively far from the welding point, the shooting angle deviation is relatively large. This increases the difficulty of image analysis by the computer program. When there is a small deviation in the data, it will reduce the actual welding accuracy, thus causing the low accuracy of conventional motorcycle frame welding robots.
[0004] To address this issue, we propose an arc welding device for motorcycle frames. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem of low precision in conventional motorcycle frame welding robots, and to propose an arc welding device for motorcycle frames.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] A motorcycle frame arc welding device includes a robotic arm. A circular track is fixedly connected to the head of the robotic arm, and a trolley is rotatably mounted on the circular track. A camera is fixedly connected to the lower end of the trolley. A helical elastic wire connects the robotic arm and the trolley, and the trolley and camera are electrically connected to the robotic arm via the helical elastic wire. A winding sleeve is also fixedly connected to the head of the robotic arm, and the helical elastic wire passes through the winding sleeve. Driving the trolley along the circular track causes the camera to revolve around the head of the robotic arm. By using the winding sleeve to wind the helical elastic wire, the camera's shooting angle can be changed, facilitating multi-angle image acquisition of the target motorcycle frame, improving computer image acquisition accuracy, and thus improving welding accuracy.
[0008] Preferably, the lower part of the robotic arm is fixedly connected to a mounting base. Screws are passed through the mounting base to install the robotic arm on the target ground or table, facilitating its installation and fixation.
[0009] Preferably, the annular track includes an annular track body and a limiting stop bar. One end of the limiting stop bar is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the annular track body, and the other end of the limiting stop bar is fixedly connected to the head of the robotic arm. The limiting stop bar prevents the trolley from excessively rotating in one direction, thus preventing excessive stretching of the helical elastic conductor and protecting it.
[0010] Preferably, the trolley includes a frame, a motor is fixedly connected to the upper part of the frame, and rollers are fixedly connected to the rotor of the motor. The rollers are in rolling contact with the upper end of the annular track. A first constraint wheel is rotatably mounted on the frame, and the first constraint wheel is in rolling contact with the inner wall of the annular track. The upper end of the camera is fixedly connected to the lower end of the frame. By using the motor to drive the rollers to rotate, the rollers roll along the annular track, which in turn moves the frame, and the frame moves the camera, making it easy to change the camera's shooting position.
[0011] Preferably, the trolley further includes a second constraint wheel, which is provided in pairs. The second constraint wheel rolls against the outer wall of the annular track, and the frame is connected to a helical elastic guide wire. The stability of the trolley is increased by using the first and second constraint wheels clamped onto the annular track.
[0012] Preferably, the winding sleeve includes a housing and a guide ring. The upper end of the guide ring is fixedly connected to the head of the robotic arm, and the lower end of the guide ring is fixedly connected to the upper end of the housing. When the trolley moves and pulls on the spiral elastic wire, the spiral elastic wire is wound around the housing. By winding the spiral elastic wire around the housing, the tensile strength at the root of the spiral elastic wire is reduced, thus protecting the root of the spiral elastic wire.
[0013] Preferably, the winding sleeve further includes a reinforcing ring, which is fixedly connected to the lower part of the sleeve housing. The reinforcing ring increases the stability of the lower structure of the sleeve housing.
[0014] In summary, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. Drive the trolley to move along the circular track. The trolley drives the camera to revolve around the head of the robotic arm. By using a winding sleeve to wind a spiral elastic wire, the shooting angle of the camera can be changed, which facilitates the acquisition of images of the target motorcycle frame from multiple angles, improves the accuracy of computer image acquisition, and thus improves the welding accuracy.
[0016] 2. Use the limit stop to block the trolley. When the trolley rotates excessively in one direction, it will prevent the spiral elastic wire from being pulled too much and thus protect the spiral elastic wire.
[0017] 3. The motor drives the rollers to rotate, which in turn move the frame along the circular track, and the frame moves the camera, making it easy to change the camera's shooting position.
[0018] 4. The stability of the trolley is increased by using the first and second constraint wheels to clamp the trolley onto the circular track.
[0019] 5. When the trolley moves and pulls on the spiral elastic wire, the spiral elastic wire is wrapped around the casing. The casing wraps around the spiral elastic wire, reducing the tensile strength at the root of the spiral elastic wire and facilitating the protection of the root of the spiral elastic wire.
