Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic wiping device for welding fumes on the surface of laser-welded workpieces, belonging to the technical field of mechanical processing auxiliary devices. Background Technology
[0002] Welding fumes are inevitably generated during laser welding, especially on the back of the weld, where noticeable traces are usually visible. Currently, any welding fume residue on the workpiece surface is considered a cosmetic defect by customers and requires remediation. There is currently no dedicated equipment for wiping welding fumes from the surface of laser-welded workpieces; the fumes must be manually wiped off after the product comes off the production line, consuming a significant amount of manpower. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing an automatic wiping device for welding fumes on the surface of laser-welded workpieces.
[0004] The technical solution of this utility model to solve the above-mentioned technical problems is as follows: an automatic wiping device for welding fumes on the surface of laser-welded workpieces, including a base, a placement platform for placing workpieces on the base, and a wiping roller movably provided on the base via a guide rail, the wiping roller being positioned above the placement platform and moving along the length direction of the placement platform.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: by installing a wiping roller on the guide rail, the wiping roller moves on the guide rail to quickly wipe the welding fume off the surface of the workpiece, thereby improving quality and reducing labor costs.
[0006] Furthermore, two guide rails are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the placement platform. A slider is slidably provided on the guide rail, and a mounting base is fixed on the slider. A support shaft is rotatably mounted on the mounting base, and both ends of the wiping roller are connected to the support shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, the mounting base is equipped with bearings, and both ends of the support shaft are mounted within the bearings. The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that by mounting the wiping roller using the slider, mounting base, support shaft, and bearings, the wiping roller can rotate while moving on the guide rail, resulting in a better wiping effect.
[0008] Furthermore, a sliding seat is slidably provided on the guide rail, and a vision inspection mechanism is provided on the sliding seat. The vision inspection mechanism is used to inspect the welding quality of the workpiece weld.
[0009] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution are: by installing a visual inspection mechanism on the guide rail by sliding seat, the welding quality of the workpiece weld is detected, so that after the quality inspection of the back of the workpiece is completed, the welding fume can be wiped off quickly without affecting the production cycle, thus improving the practicality of the equipment.
[0010] Furthermore, the visual inspection mechanism is movably mounted on the sliding seat.
[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions is that it facilitates visual inspection agencies to conduct more thorough inspections of the workpiece surface.
[0012] Furthermore, the sliding seat is provided with a second guide rail, and the visual inspection mechanism is slidably mounted on the second guide rail, which is perpendicular to the first guide rail.
[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the weld seam to be inspected is not only in the direction parallel to guide rail one, but also in the direction parallel to guide rail two, or in the oblique direction that is not parallel to guide rail one or guide rail two. The visual inspection mechanism needs to move simultaneously in the directions of guide rail one and guide rail two to complete the weld seam inspection, which makes it easier for the visual inspection mechanism to conduct a more thorough inspection of the workpiece surface.
[0014] Furthermore, the visual inspection mechanism is located in front of the wiping roller in the forward direction.
[0015] Furthermore, it also includes a wiping roller power drive mechanism and a vision inspection power drive mechanism.
[0016] Furthermore, the placement platform is equipped with a grid.
[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solution is that the grid is used to place the workpiece.
[0018] Furthermore, the outer surface of the wiping roller is provided with cloth or felt.
[0019] The beneficial effects of adopting the above-mentioned further technical solutions are: wiping the workpiece surface with cloth or felt results in a better wiping effect, and the felt and cloth have a certain elasticity. During the movement of the wiping roller, the wiping roller contacts the workpiece to be wiped and is squeezed, thereby increasing the wiping force. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The principles and features of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The examples given are only for explaining this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0027] See Figures 1-5 An automatic wiping device for welding fumes on the surface of laser-welded workpieces includes a base 1, a placement platform 6 for placing workpieces on the base 1, and a wiping roller 5 movably mounted on the base 1 via a guide rail 2. The wiping roller 5 is positioned above the placement platform 6 and moves along the length of the placement platform 6.
[0028] Two guide rails 12 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the placement platform 6. A slider 7 is slidably provided on the guide rail 12. A mounting base 8 is fixedly provided on the slider 7. A support shaft 9 is rotatably mounted on the mounting base 8. Both ends of the wiping roller 5 are connected to the support shaft 9.
[0029] The mounting base 8 contains bearings, and both ends of the support shaft 9 are mounted inside the bearings.
[0030] A sliding seat 11 is slidably mounted on the guide rail 2. A vision inspection mechanism 4 is mounted on the sliding seat 11. The vision inspection mechanism 4 is used to inspect the welding quality of the workpiece weld.
[0031] The visual inspection mechanism 4 is movably mounted on the sliding seat 11.
[0032] The sliding seat 11 is provided with a guide rail 2 3, and the vision inspection mechanism 4 is slidably installed on the guide rail 2 3. The guide rail 2 3 is perpendicular to the guide rail 1 2.
[0033] The visual inspection mechanism 4 is located in front of the wiping roller 5 in the forward direction.
