[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: this utility model is convenient;
[0014] 1. This utility model, through the cooperation of a bracket, welding mechanism, welding head, first cylinder, enclosed frame, fan, suction pipe, and telescopic joint, places the item to be welded on the base, positioning it below the welding head. Then, the first cylinder is activated, causing it to move the enclosed frame parallel to each other, allowing two sets of enclosed frames to align and form a welding space. The welding mechanism is then activated, using the welding head to perform welding within this space. Harmful gases generated during welding will not overflow excessively and affect the working environment, and welding slag will not splatter.

Then, the second cylinder is activated to push the cleaning plate, moving the welding slag into the collection box for collection. This facilitates the cleaning of welding slag. When processing the slag collected in the collection box, the mounting bolts can be removed from the base and mounting base to release the collection box's limits, allowing for convenient and unified processing of the slag.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-4 One embodiment provided by this utility model:
[0023] A welding robot slag cleaning and collection mechanism includes: a base 111, a safety mechanism 2 mounted on top of the base 111, and a cleaning mechanism 3 mounted on the upper end of the base 111. The safety mechanism 2 includes a bracket 211, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 111. A welding mechanism 212 is mounted on the upper end of the bracket 211, and a welding head 213 is connected to the bottom end of the welding mechanism 212. A first cylinder 214 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the bracket 211, and a closed frame 215 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 214. Two sets of closed frames 215 can be spliced and closed. The upper end of the closed frame 215 has an opening corresponding to the welding head 213. When using the welding robot's slag cleaning and collection mechanism, the item to be welded is placed on the base 111, positioned below the welding head 213. Then, the first cylinder 214 is activated, causing the closed frame 215 to move parallel, allowing the two sets of closed frames 215 to be joined together to form a welding space. At this time, the welding mechanism 212 is activated, and the welding head 213 is used to perform welding work within the space formed by the two sets of closed frames 215. The harmful gases generated during welding will not overflow in large quantities and affect the working environment, and the waste slag generated during welding will not splatter, thus improving the welding environment during equipment welding.
[0024] Furthermore, a fan 216 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the bracket 211. One end of the fan 216 is connected to an air suction pipe 217, and the other end of the fan 216 is connected to a waste bin through a pipe. The end of the air suction pipe 217 away from the fan 216 is connected to the inside of the enclosed frame 215. With this design, during the welding process, the fan 216 can be started to draw air through the air suction pipe 217, and the exhaust gas and harmful gases generated during the welding process inside the enclosed frame 215 can be drawn into the exhaust gas bin for unified treatment, which can prevent the leakage of harmful gases, which would affect the working environment and prevent workers from inhaling them.
[0025] Furthermore, a telescopic joint 218 is provided in the middle of the suction pipe 217. With this design, the suction pipe 217 is provided in the middle of the suction pipe 217 so that when the closed frame 215 moves, the suction pipe 217 can follow the closed frame 215.
[0026] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism 3 includes a fixed plate 311, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 111. A second cylinder 312 is fixedly connected to the front end of the fixed plate 311, and a cleaning plate 313 is connected to the output end of the second cylinder 312. The cleaning plate 313 can slide on the base 111. With this design, when using the welding robot slag cleaning and collection mechanism, after welding is completed, the first cylinder 214 is restarted to drive the closed frame 215 to move in the opposite direction, leaving the slag generated during welding at the welding point of the item. Then, the second cylinder 312 is started to push the cleaning plate 313 to move, pushing the slag generated during welding into the collection box 314 for collection, which can conveniently clean the slag generated after welding.
[0027] Furthermore, a collection box 314 is installed at the front end of the base 111, and a mounting seat 315 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the collection box 314. A mounting bolt 316 is installed inside the mounting seat 315, and the mounting bolt 316 is installed inside the base 111. With this design, when uniformly disposing of the waste collected inside the collection box 314, the mounting bolt 316 can be removed from the base 111 and the mounting seat 315, releasing the limit of the collection box 314, so that the waste collected inside the collection box 314 can be conveniently and uniformly disposed of, and easy to disassemble and clean.
[0028] Furthermore, the width of the cleaning plate 313 is less than the minimum value between the two sets of closed frames 215.
[0029] Working principle:
[0030] When using the welding robot's slag cleaning and collection mechanism, place the item to be welded on the base 111, positioning it below the welding head 213. Then, activate the first cylinder 214 to move the enclosed frame 215 in parallel, allowing the two sets of enclosed frames 215 to align and connect, forming a welding space. At this point, activate the welding mechanism 212, using the welding head 213 to perform welding work within the space formed by the two sets of enclosed frames 215. Harmful gases generated during welding will not overflow in large quantities, affecting the working environment, and the slag generated during welding will not splatter, improving the welding environment. During welding, the fan 216 can be activated to extract air through the suction pipe 217, drawing the waste gas and harmful gases generated during welding inside the enclosed frame 215 into the waste gas box for unified treatment, preventing the leakage of harmful gases that could affect the working environment and avoiding inhalation by workers.
[0031] When using the welding robot's slag cleaning and collection mechanism, after welding is completed, the first cylinder 214 is restarted, causing the closed frame 215 to move in the opposite direction, leaving the slag generated during welding at the welding point. Then, the second cylinder 312 is started, causing it to push the cleaning plate 313 to move, pushing the slag generated during welding into the collection box 314 for collection. This allows for convenient cleaning of the slag generated after welding. When uniformly disposing of the slag collected inside the collection box 314, the mounting bolts 316 can be removed from the base 111 and mounting seat 315 to release the limit of the collection box 314, thus facilitating the uniform disposal of the slag collected inside the collection box 314. This makes disassembly and cleaning convenient, and the operation ends here.
[0032] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model in any way. Those skilled in the art can readily implement this utility model based on the accompanying drawings and the description above. However, any modifications, alterations, or variations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the utility model's technical solution, utilizing the disclosed technical content, are equivalent embodiments of this utility model. Furthermore, any equivalent changes, alterations, or variations made to the above embodiments based on the essential technology of this utility model are still within the protection scope of this utility model's technical solution.
