[0032] like Figures 1 to 8 As shown, an automatic circumferential seam welding machine for tanks includes a workbench 1. A welding station 3 is located at the top center of the workbench 1. A first centering component 2 and a second centering component 5 are respectively installed at both ends of the welding station 3 along the length of the workbench 1. The first centering component 2 and the second centering component 5 are slidably connected to the workbench 1. A welding component 6, which can slide to the welding station 3, is installed above the second centering component 5. A transfer component 8 is installed directly above the welding station 3. The transfer component 8 includes a support frame 81 fixedly installed above the welding station 3. A crossbeam 82, perpendicular to the length of the workbench 1 and extending outward at one end, is installed at the top of the support frame 81. A transfer feeding device is slidably connected to the crossbeam 82. In use, the welding station 3 is moved to the welding station 3 at both ends. The system includes a first centering component 2 and a second centering component 5 that are slidably connected to the workbench 1. This allows the first centering component 2 and the second centering component 5 to be positioned relative to the workbench 1, facilitating clamping and fixing of the tank from both ends and rotating the tank for circumferential welding. Above the second centering component 5 is a welding component 6 that can slide to the welding station 3 for welding the joints of the tank. The transfer component 8 is located directly above the welding station 3 and is used to transport the tank and other materials to the welding station 3. The crossbeam 82 of the transfer component 8 is perpendicular to the length of the workbench 1 and extends outward at one end. A transfer feeding device is slidably connected to the crossbeam 82. Through the cooperation of the crossbeam 82 and the transfer feeding device, the tank can be picked up and accurately transported to the welding station 3.

[0033] Furthermore, the first centering component 2 includes a first fixed plate 21 fixedly connected to the end face of the workbench 1. A first movable plate 23 is slidably connected to the first fixed plate 21 via a slide table. A first clamping cylinder 22 is installed on the end of the first fixed plate 21 away from the welding station 3. The output end of the first clamping cylinder 22 is drivenly connected to the first movable plate 23. A first centering cage 24 perpendicular to the end face of the workbench 1 is installed on the other end of the first movable plate 23. During use, the first clamping cylinder 22 is activated to position the tank. The first movable plate 23 is pushed to move, thereby driving the first centering cage 24 closer to the tank body. The first centering cage 24 is a columnar cage structure with one end open, which is used to abut against the arc surface of one end of the tank body, thereby cooperating with the second centering component 5 to clamp the tank body. During the process of clamping and tightening the tank body at both ends, the arc surfaces at both ends make tangential movements with the first centering component 2 and the second centering component 5 respectively, thereby achieving centering and fixing, thus preventing the welding component 6 and the joint to be welded to the tank body from always being in the same plane during the rotational circumferential weld.

[0034] Furthermore, a rotating disk is provided between the first centering cage 24 and the first movable plate 23, and the rotating disk is fixedly connected to the first centering cage 24. A first rotary drive motor 25 is also installed on the end of the first movable plate 23 facing away from the first centering cage 24. The first rotary drive motor 25 is connected to the rotating disk. In use, there is a rotating disk on the first movable plate 23, and the first rotary drive motor 25 is connected to the rotating disk. After the tank is centered and positioned, the first rotary drive motor 25 can drive the rotating disk to rotate, thereby driving the tank to rotate and realizing circumferential welding.

[0035] Furthermore, the second centering assembly 5 includes a second fixed plate 51 fixed on the side end face of the worktable 1 away from the first centering assembly 2. The second fixed plate 51 is slidably connected to a second movable plate 53 via a slide table. A second clamping cylinder 52 is installed on one end of the second fixed plate 51 near the edge of the worktable 1. The output end of the second clamping cylinder 52 is driven and connected to the second movable plate 53. A second centering cage 56 coaxial with the first centering cage 24 is installed on the other end of the second movable plate 53. It is used to cooperate with the first centering cage 24 to fix it at both ends of the tank, clamp the tank, and drive it to rotate through the first rotary drive motor 25.

[0036] Furthermore, the second centering cage 56 is rotatably connected to the second movable plate 53. A push cylinder 54 is installed on the end of the second movable plate 53 away from the second centering cage 56. The output end of the push cylinder 54 can move through the second movable plate 53 and extend into the second centering cage 56. In use, the output end of the push cylinder passes through the second movable plate 53 and abuts against the bottom wall of the tank, which helps the second centering cage 56 to separate quickly from the tank and avoid jamming.

[0037] Furthermore, an auxiliary support assembly 4 is fixedly installed directly below the welding station 3 on the workbench 1. The auxiliary support assembly 4 includes two support mechanisms installed opposite each other at the bottom of the welding station 3 on the workbench 1. Each support mechanism includes a base 41, which is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. A support plate 42 is slidably connected to the base 41 in the vertical direction. An auxiliary roller group 43 that can rotate freely is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate 42. The auxiliary roller group 43 is coaxial with the length direction of the workbench 1. A support cylinder 44 is installed inside the base 41. The output end of the support cylinder 44 is drivenly connected to the support plate 42. During the welding process, the auxiliary support assembly 4 can provide bottom support for the tank. By adjusting the height of the support plate 42 through the support cylinder 44, the two sets of auxiliary roller groups 43 are brought into close contact with the bottom arc surface of the tank, reducing the frictional resistance experienced by the tank during rotation and providing stable support for the circumferential welding of the tank.

[0038] Furthermore, the welding assembly 6 includes a first fixed base 61 with one end fixedly connected to the end face of the workbench 1. The other end of the first fixed base 61 is disposed above the second centering assembly 5, and a first slide 62 is slidably mounted on its end face along the length direction of the workbench 1. A first drive motor 63 is mounted on the end of the first slide 62 away from the welding station 3 to drive the first slide 62 to slide relative to the first fixed base 61. A longitudinally arranged second slide 64 is slidably mounted on the front end of the first slide 62 away from the first drive motor 63. The top of the second slide 64 is provided with a second A front panel 66 is slidably mounted on the end face of the second slide table 64 relative to the welding station 3, driven by the drive motor 65. The front panel 66 is driven and connected to the second drive motor 65. A welding torch 67 is fixedly mounted on the front panel 66. The welding torch 67 is connected to the welding system 7. The first drive motor 63 drives the first slide table 62 to move laterally relative to the axis of the tank, and the second drive motor 65 drives the front panel 66 to move up and down, so that the welding torch 67 can move flexibly above the tank and can be precisely aligned with the joint to be welded, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the welding.

[0039] Furthermore, a support beam 823 is slidably connected to the top surface of the crossbeam 82 via a guide rail slider. A rack 821 is fixed to one end of the crossbeam 82 along its length. A transplanting motor 822 is fixedly installed on the support beam 823. The output end of the transplanting motor 822 is equipped with an active tooth that meshes with the rack 821. In use, the top surface of the crossbeam 82 is slidably connected to the support beam 823 via the guide rail slider. The rack 821 is fixed to one end of the crossbeam 82. The active tooth at the output end of the transplanting motor 822 on the support beam 823 meshes with the rack 821. The transplanting motor 822 works, driving the support beam 823 to move along the length of the crossbeam 82, thereby driving the entire drive lifting assembly 83 and the transplanting robotic arm 9 to move horizontally.

[0040] Furthermore, the transplanting and feeding device includes a drive lifting assembly 83 mounted on the support beam 823, with a transplanting robotic arm 9 fixedly connected to one bottom end of the drive lifting assembly 83 for transferring the tank.

[0041] Furthermore, the drive lifting assembly 83 includes a second fixed base 831 fixedly connected to the supporting beam 823. A first lifting cylinder 832 and a second lifting cylinder 833 are coaxially arranged on the second fixed base 831 along the vertical direction. The output ends of the first lifting cylinder 832 and the second lifting cylinder 833 are arranged opposite to each other and abut against each other. The second lifting cylinder 833 is located directly above the first lifting cylinder 832, and a connecting plate 834 is installed at one end of its bottom. The output end of the second lifting cylinder 833 passes through the connecting plate 834 and connects to and abuts against the output end of the first lifting cylinder 832. The other end of the connecting plate 834 is connected to a transplanting robotic arm 9. A gripper 91 is installed at the bottom of the transplanting robotic arm 9. In use, the first lifting cylinder 832... The cooperation of the first lifting cylinder 832 and the second lifting cylinder 833 precisely controls the vertical movement height of the transfer robotic arm 9, facilitating the grabbing or placement of the tank at different heights. The first lifting cylinder 832 and the second lifting cylinder 833 are coaxially arranged and their output ends abut against each other, providing a redundant structure that can withstand large loads and provide stable lifting power, ensuring that the transfer robotic arm 9 remains stable during lifting. The transfer robotic arm 9 cooperates with the load-bearing beam 823 that is slidably installed in the crossbeam 82, enabling the transfer robotic arm 9 to both lift vertically and move horizontally, thereby accurately transferring the tank from the loading position to the welding station 3. After welding, the tank is transferred from the welding station 3 to the unloading position, improving the automation level of the welding process and thus improving welding efficiency.

[0042] The specific working principle of this utility model is as follows: During welding, the transfer robotic arm 9 of the transfer assembly 8 is controlled to move vertically by driving the lifting assembly 83. The transfer robotic arm 9 controls the gripper 91 to grab the tank at the designated loading position. The transfer motor 822 drives the bearing beam 823 to move along the crossbeam 82, horizontally transporting the tank to directly above the welding station 3. The transfer robotic arm 9 descends and places the tank stably on the welding station 3. The tank is supported by the auxiliary support assembly 4. The first clamping cylinder 22 and the second clamping cylinder 52 respectively drive the first movable plate 23 and the second movable plate 53 to move towards each other. The first centering cage 24 and the second centering cage 56 approach the two ends of the tank and abut against the arc surface of the tank, realizing the axial positioning and radial centering of the tank. The first drive motor 63 drives the first slide 62 along the work... The worktable 1 moves along its length to adjust the lateral position of the welding torch 67. The second drive motor 65 drives the front panel 66 to rise and fall, adjusting the height of the welding torch 67 so that it is aligned with the tank joint. The first rotary drive motor 25 drives the first centering cage 24 to rotate via the rotary disc, thereby driving the tank to rotate and ensuring that the joint rotates evenly, thus ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the circumferential weld. Under the control of the welding system 7, the welding torch 67 welds along the tank joint, thereby sealing and connecting the loosely joined sections of the tank into a single unit. The welding assembly 6 can be flexibly adjusted to ensure that the welding torch 67 is always aligned with the joint. After welding is completed, the transfer robotic arm 9 moves again, and the gripper 91 picks up the welded tank and transfers it from the welding station 3 to the unloading position. The entire welding process is highly automated and efficient.
