Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steel structure processing technology, specifically to an auxiliary flipping device for welding steel structure components. Background Technology

[0002] Welding of steel structural components is a core process in manufacturing, widely used in construction, bridges, machinery, and other fields. Traditional methods mainly rely on arc welding and gas shielded welding, but these suffer from low efficiency and large deformation. In recent years, high-efficiency technologies such as laser welding and friction stir welding have been gradually promoted, and combined with robotic automation and intelligent sensing technologies, significantly improving welding accuracy and consistency. In terms of materials, the demand for high-strength steel, weathering steel, and dissimilar metal joining is increasing, but embrittlement of the weld heat-affected zone and control of residual stress remain technical challenges. To address these challenges, numerical simulation and process optimization technologies are being used to predict deformation and optimize parameters, while green welding technology is becoming a development trend. The industry is upgrading towards intelligentization and integrated welding inspection to meet the high reliability requirements under complex working conditions.

[0003] Existing steel welding flipping device technologies mainly fall into three categories: mechanical, hydraulic, and pneumatic, and electric servo. Mechanical types have simple structures and are suitable for small to medium-sized workpieces; hydraulic types have high load-bearing capacity but high energy consumption; electric servo types offer excellent precision, are programmable, and are mostly used in automated production lines. Technological advancements focus on intelligentization, modularization, and integration with welding robots to improve flexibility and efficiency. Current challenges include the tendency of heavy-duty parts to deform during flipping, insufficient multi-axis synchronization precision, and poor adaptability of high-cost equipment. Future trends include the application of digital twin optimization paths, lightweight materials, and energy-saving technologies to drive high-precision, intelligent, and green development; however, further breakthroughs are needed in overcoming dynamic stability and cost control challenges to meet the demands of complex welding scenarios.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned steel welding and turning device still has the following problems: the steel turning device and the handling device are often separate devices, and the steel needs to be frequently moved between different devices, which wastes time and results in low production efficiency. At the same time, the steel that needs to be welded needs to be manually handled and placed before it can work normally.

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, an auxiliary flipping device for welding steel structural components is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an auxiliary flipping device for welding steel structural components, which solves the problems in the prior art where the separate steel processing equipment affects efficiency and requires manual placement of the flipping device to work.

[0025] Combination Figure 1This utility model discloses an auxiliary flipping device for welding steel structural components, comprising a workbench 1. The top of the workbench is arranged from left to right as a finished processing area, a waiting processing area, and a processing area. A movable frame 2 is provided at the rear of the workbench 1 to support various handling and moving devices. An auxiliary frame 3 is provided at the front of the workbench 1 for clamping and fixing steel 18. A welding seat 4 is fixedly connected to the right side of the workbench 1 to support the welding gun. Steel 18 is provided at the top of the workbench 1. An X-axis moving module 5 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the movable frame 2, which can drive the movable frame 2 to move in the X direction. A fixed plate 6 is fixedly connected to the front of the movable frame 2 to support and install the moving module. A guide rail of a Y-axis moving module 9 is fixedly connected to the front of the fixed plate 6 to drive the chuck to move in the Y direction. A Z-axis moving module 10 is fixedly connected to the front of the slider of the Y-axis moving module 9 through a mounting plate to drive the chuck and its equipment to move in the Z direction.

[0026] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 3 A turntable mounting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the auxiliary frame 3 near the top position for mounting the turntable 16. A turntable motor 15 is fixedly connected through the mounting shell to the center of the turntable mounting plate 14 near the right position for driving the turntable to rotate. A welding gun 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the left side of the welding seat 4. A clamping claw 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom position of the outer wall of the front movable part of the Z-axis moving module 10 through a double-headed cylinder module for clamping and transporting steel. A blocking cylinder 7 is fixedly connected through the center of the fixing plate 6 for limiting the movement of the Y-axis moving module 9.

[0027] Combination Figure 4 A Y-axis pen-shaped cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the top right side of the movable frame 2 to provide power for the Y-axis moving module. The output end of the Y-axis pen-shaped cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the Z-axis moving module 10 through a connector. A rotary cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the front movable part of the Z-axis moving module 10 through a connector. The output end of the rotary cylinder 11 is connected to the rear side of the double-headed cylinder module through a belt drive mechanism. The rear side of the turntable motor 15 is fixedly connected to the turntable 16 through a coupling. The coupling links the turntable motor 15 and the turntable 16. Push cylinders 17 are evenly distributed on the rear outer surface of the turntable 16. The combined operation of the push cylinders 17 can clamp the steel.

[0028] Working principle: Before welding begins, the worker places the steel 18 on the processing area at the top of the workbench 1. After the device is started, the Z-axis moving module 10, along with the rotary cylinder 11 and the clamping jaws 12, moves along the slider of the Y-axis moving module 9 to above the steel to be processed, driven by the pen-shaped cylinder 8. Then, the double-headed cylinder behind the clamping jaws 12 pushes the jaws open. The clamping jaws 12 and the rotary cylinder 11 move downwards driven by the motor along the screw of the Z-axis moving module 10. When they reach both sides of the steel 18, the double-headed cylinder behind the clamping jaws 12 controls the jaws to press against the steel, completing the clamping action. The steel 18 moves to the processing area at the top of the workbench 1 with the transport device. The moving frame 2 is driven by the motor and moves forward along the guide rail with the gear and slider of the X-axis moving module 5. When one end of the steel 18 contacts the turntable 16, the four push cylinders on the turntable 16 start to clamp the steel 18. Then the chuck releases the steel and returns to pick up another piece of steel 18. The transport device continues to move until one end of the two pieces of steel 18 is close together. At this time, the welding torch 13 starts, and the rotary cylinder 11 drives the clamping chuck 12 to rotate through the pulley mechanism behind it. The turntable 16 is driven by the turntable motor 15 and starts to rotate together in the same direction and at the same speed. In this way, the steel is controlled to flip and weld. After the steel is welded, the push cylinder 17 on the turntable 16 releases the processed steel. The transport device clamps and moves the steel 18 to the processing completion area of ​​the worktable 1. Then the clamping chuck 12 is released, the processed steel 18 is put down, and the previous action is repeated to continue processing.
