[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0027] Example 1
[0028] like Figs. 1 to 4 As shown, an automatic hot riveting welding robot for dashboards is described. This robot, based on existing designs, incorporates a structure for limiting and clamping components such as the dashboard, thereby improving welding efficiency. The robot includes a hot riveting welding mounting base 1, on which a hot riveting welding machine 11 is mounted (the number of hot riveting welding machines 11 can be increased according to needs and design). The mounting base 11 is movably connected to a welding operation platform 2 via a control mechanism. Below the hot riveting welding machine 11 is a limiting mechanism for limiting and clamping the dashboard, which is also mounted to the welding operation platform 2. The limiting mechanism includes several limiting support seats 3 for supporting the dashboard to be welded, all of which are bolted to the welding operation platform 2.
[0029] In this embodiment, the instrument panel and other components requiring hot riveting are placed on the limiting support 3 provided on the welding operation platform 2. Since different instrument panels and other components have different structural shapes, multiple such supports are added to the welding operation platform 2 to better support and limit the components requiring hot riveting. After placing the instrument panel and other components requiring hot riveting on the limiting support 3, the components are stably clamped and limited on the limiting support 3. Then, by adjusting the control mechanism, the hot riveting welding mounting base 1 is moved, and the hot riveting welding machine 11 installed on the hot riveting welding mounting base 1 is moved and adjusted to a suitable position. The hot riveting welding machine 11 then performs hot riveting welding on the instrument panel and other components supported by the limiting support 3.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Based on Embodiment 1, the control mechanism includes a control movable column 4; the bottom end of the control movable column 4 is connected to an electric rotating platform 41 that can drive the control movable column to rotate, and the electric rotating platform 41 is slidably set with the welding operation platform 1 via an electric slider; the top end of the control movable column 4 is connected to a lifting structure for driving the hot riveting welding mounting seat 1 to rise and fall.
[0032] Furthermore, the lifting structure includes a lifting hydraulic rod 42; the output end of the lifting hydraulic rod 42 is connected to a connecting plate, which is used to connect to the hot-riveted welding mounting base 1, and the lifting hydraulic rod 42 drives the hot-riveted welding mounting base 1 to move up and down; the cylinder of the lifting hydraulic rod 42 is connected to the top of the control movable column 4 via a fixing plate. Additionally, a movable limiting block is connected to one end of the connecting plate near the control movable column 4, and the movable limiting block has a limiting groove; a limiting slider is connected to one end of the control movable column 4 near the connecting plate via a positioning plate, and the limiting slider is configured to be movable and limited by the limiting groove of the movable limiting block.
[0033] In this embodiment, the electric slider is controlled to move the electric rotary table 41 relative to the welding operation platform 1; the rotation of the electric rotary table 41 is controlled to rotate the control movable column 4; and the lifting hydraulic rod 42 is controlled to move the hot riveting welding mounting seat 1 to a suitable position under the "sliding limit guide" action of the movable limit block and the limit slider. Ultimately, the hot riveting welding machine 11 (existing hot riveting welding equipment) installed on the hot riveting welding mounting seat 1 can be adjusted and controlled to perform hot riveting welding on the instrument panel and other components supported by the limit support seat 3.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] Furthermore, the welding operation platform 2 is equipped with a first movable limiting cylinder 5 for limiting the instrument panel on the limiting support 3. The output end rod of the first movable limiting cylinder 5 is connected to a first limiting clamp, and the cylinder body of the first movable limiting cylinder 5 is connected to the welding operation platform 5 through a first connecting seat.
[0036] Meanwhile, a second movable limit cylinder 6 is provided on the side of the welding operation platform 2 away from the first movable limit cylinder 5 for limiting the instrument panel on the limit support 3. The output end rod of the second movable limit cylinder 6 is connected to a second limit rod, and the cylinder body of the second movable limit cylinder 6 is connected to the welding operation platform 2 through a second connecting seat.
[0037] Furthermore, the welding operation platform 2 is also equipped with a third movable limit cylinder 7 and a fourth movable limit cylinder 8 for further limiting the instrument panel on the limit support 3. The third movable limit cylinder 7 and the fourth movable limit cylinder 8 are located on one side of the limit support 3. The output end rod of the third movable limit cylinder 7 is connected to a third limit rod, and the cylinder body of the third movable limit cylinder 7 is connected to the welding operation platform 3 through a third connecting seat. The fourth movable limit cylinder 8 is located on one side of the third movable limit cylinder 7, and the output end rod of the fourth movable limit cylinder 8 is connected to a fourth limit clamp. The cylinder body of the fourth movable limit cylinder 8 is connected to the welding operation platform 3 through a fourth connecting seat.
[0038] In this embodiment, since the components requiring hot riveting welding, including the dashboard, are irregularly shaped, several limiting support seats 3 are installed on the welding operation platform 2 to stabilize the dashboard and other components. To prevent the dashboard and other components from moving during hot riveting welding, several "movable limiting cylinders" are added to the welding operation platform 5. As needed and designed, the "movable limiting cylinders" are arranged around these limiting support seats 3. By controlling and adjusting the movement of these "movable limiting cylinders," the dashboard and other components are limited and stabilized on the limiting support seats 3, thereby preventing movement during hot riveting welding and affecting the welding quality.
