They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model. Example

[0030] Reference Figures 1 to 9 A valve seat welding device includes a workbench 1. A feeding assembly 2 is installed on one side of the top surface of the workbench 1 along its length direction. A welding station and a loading station are provided on the other side of the workbench 1 along its width direction. The loading station is used to assemble the tank body and valve seat to be welded. The welding station is used to weld the tank body and valve seat. The feeding assembly 2 is connected to the loading station and is used to convey the valve seat to the loading station through the feeding assembly 2 and install it on the valve port of the tank body for pre-assembly.

[0031] The workbench 1 is located above the welding station and the loading station and is equipped with a rotatable circular platform 3. The workbench 1 is located on one side of the welding station and is equipped with a welding assembly 8, which is located on the outer side of the circumference of the platform 3. The welding assembly 8 is used to weld the pre-assembled tank and valve seat.

[0032] The platform 3 has symmetrical tank fixing components 4 at both ends of its radial center line. The two tank fixing components 4 move alternately through the loading station and welding station under the rotation of the platform 3. The tank fixing components 4 are used to fix the tank and are driven by the platform 3. The tank is first installed on the tank fixing component 4 located at one end of the loading station. The feeding component 2 conveys the valve seat into the loading station and pre-assembles the tank and valve seat. Then, the platform 3 rotates and drives the assembled tank and valve seat to rotate into the welding station. Welding is performed by the welding component 8. When the tank fixing component 4 at one end of the platform 3 is in the welding station, the tank fixing component 4 at the other end moves to the loading station to install the tank and valve seat. The two tank fixing components 4 can make welding and loading simultaneous, improving the efficiency of tank welding.

[0033] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 2 includes a feeding tray 21, which is used to place the valve seat. The feeding tray 21 has a feeding track 22 at its outlet. The feeding tray 21 conveys the valve seat to one end of the feeding module 23 through the feeding track 22 by vibration. The other end of the feeding track 22 is connected to the feeding module 23. The feeding module 23 is driven to connect to a movable arm 233 that can move to the feeding station. The feeding module 23 picks up the valve seat and conveys it to the feeding station for pre-assembly with the tank.

[0034] Furthermore, the feeding module 23 includes a fixed frame 231. A pushing cylinder 232 is installed above the top of the fixed frame 231. The output end of the pushing cylinder 232 drives and connects to the movable arm 233. The end of the feeding track 22 away from the feeding tray 21 is connected to the fixed frame 231. A longitudinally arranged picking cylinder 234 is fixedly installed above the end of the feeding track on the movable arm 233. A miniature chuck 235 is installed on the output end of the picking cylinder 234. In use, the feeding track 22 is provided with a concave section directly below the miniature chuck 235. The slot is used to fix the valve seat in place. The picking cylinder 234 pushes the micro chuck 235 down, so that the micro chuck 235 is close to the valve seat directly below it. The bottom of the micro chuck 235 has multiple sets of teeth. The multiple sets of teeth expand radially outward along the micro chuck 235 and abut against the inner wall of the valve seat, thereby picking up the valve seat. After the valve seat is picked up, the pushing cylinder 232 pushes the movable arm 233 to move the micro chuck 235 into the upper part of the tank in the loading station, so that the valve seat is pressed and connected to the valve port at the top of the tank by the clamping component 7 for pre-assembly.

[0035] Furthermore, an outer frame 6 is installed on the outside of the welding station and the loading station of the workbench 1. The top of the outer frame 6 is provided with a sheet metal shell 61 for protection and isolation. The sheet metal shell 61 is provided with a smoke exhaust pipe 63 that connects to the welding station. The smoke exhaust pipe 63 can be connected to an external air extraction device to exhaust the fumes generated during the welding process. Cabinet doors 62 that are slidably connected to the workbench 1 are installed on both sides of the outer frame 6 in the width direction of the workbench 1, so as to facilitate the installation of the tank onto the tank fixing assembly 4 through the cabinet door 62 at the loading station end, and to open the cabinet door 62 on the welding station side to take out the welded tank.

[0036] Furthermore, a clamping assembly 7 is installed directly above the loading station on the outer frame 6. The clamping assembly 7 includes a pressing cylinder 71 fixedly installed on the top surface of the sheet metal housing 61. The bottom output end of the pressing cylinder 71 passes through the sheet metal housing 61 and drives a pressure block 72 to be connected. The pressing cylinder 71 pushes the pressure block 72 down. The outer contour of one bottom end of the pressure block 72 is the same as the inner wall contour of the valve seat. Thus, when the micro chuck 235 places the valve seat above the valve port of the tank, the pressure block 72 presses down and contacts the valve seat, pressing and nesting the valve seat and the valve port of the tank together, thereby improving the firmness of the pre-assembly.

[0037] Furthermore, the bottom of the platform 3 is provided with a first rotary motor 31 and two sets of rotary drive components 5. The first rotary motor 31 is driven to connect with the platform 3. The first rotary motor 31 drives the platform 3 to rotate, thereby driving the two sets of tank fixing components 4 to switch between the loading station and the welding station. This allows the two sets of tank fixing components 4 to alternately pass through the loading station and the welding station, realizing the synchronous operation of loading and welding. At the same time, the two sets of rotary drive components 5 are driven to connect with the two sets of tank fixing components 4, so that the tank in the welding station can be driven to rotate by the tank fixing components 5 during the welding process, which facilitates the welding component 8 to perform circumferential welding on the joint between the tank and the valve seat.

[0038] Furthermore, the tank fixing assembly 4 includes a centering disk 41 rotatably connected to the platform 3. The centering disk 41 is used to fix and install the tank, providing stable support for the tank. A support column 42 is provided on the central axis of the centering disk 41. One side of the top of the support column 42 is located above the centering disk 41 and is provided with a positioning groove. The support column 42 is set on the central axis of the centering disk 41. The top of the support column 42 has a positioning groove. The positioning groove is coaxially arranged with the valve port of the tank. When the pressing assembly 7 drives the pressing block 72 through the pressing cylinder 71 to press and connect the valve seat and the valve port of the tank, the bottom wall of the positioning groove abuts against one end of the bottom of the valve seat, thereby limiting the depth of the valve seat embedded in the valve port of the tank, thus ensuring the consistency of the pre-assembly between the tank and the valve seat, thereby ensuring higher consistency in subsequent welding and helping to improve the welding yield.

[0039] Furthermore, the rotary drive assembly 5 includes a drive pulley 52, a driven pulley 53, and a tension pulley 54 rotatably mounted at the bottom of the platform 3. A second rotary motor 51 is provided at the bottom of the drive pulley 52, and the output end of the second rotary motor 51 is driven and connected to the drive pulley 52. ​​The driven pulley 53 is fixedly connected to one end of the bottom of the support column 42. A synchronous belt is tensioned between the drive pulley 52, the driven pulley 53, and the tension pulley 54. During use, the tank can rotate at a uniform speed during the welding process, which facilitates the welding assembly 8 to perform uniform circumferential welding between the joint of the tank and the valve seat, thereby making the welded structure more robust.

[0040] Furthermore, the centering disc 41 has a trapezoidal cross-sectional shape, which can accommodate tanks with different inner diameters and can be flexibly adjusted after the tank is installed, so that the tank and the centering disc 41 remain coaxial, which facilitates the installation of valve seats.

[0041] Furthermore, the welding assembly 8 includes a frame 81 fixedly installed on the top surface of the welding station on the workbench 1. A movable adjusting cylinder 82 is fixed at the top of the frame 81. The output end of the movable adjusting cylinder 82 is set towards the side of the platform 3, and a welding torch 83 is installed at its end through a connecting plate. In use, the output end of the movable adjusting cylinder 82 drives the welding torch 83 to move, so that the welding torch 83 can move close to the joint between the tank body and the valve seat to perform welding operations.

[0042] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the valve seat is placed in the feeding tray 21. Vibration of the feeding tray 21 transports the valve seat along the feeding track 22 to one end of the feeding module 23. The picking cylinder 234 on the movable arm 233 in the feeding module 23 pushes the micro chuck 235 downwards. After the valve seat is picked up by the chuck teeth, the pushing cylinder 232 pushes the movable arm 233 to transport the valve seat to the feeding station, which is located directly above the valve opening of the tank installed on the tank fixing assembly 4. The picking mechanism pushes the micro chuck... 235 moves down to place the valve seat at the valve port of the tank. The pressing cylinder pushes the pressure block 72 to press and embed the valve seat into the valve port of the tank for pre-assembly. After the tank and valve seat are pre-assembled, the platform 3 carries the assembled tank and valve seat into the welding station for welding by the welding gun 83. The tank fixing component 4 at the other end of the platform 3 is used to position and fix another tank for pre-assembly. The platform 3 drives the two tank fixing components 4 to switch stations alternately, so as to realize the pre-assembly and welding work simultaneously and improve welding efficiency.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
