[0002] In the field of industrial welding, the integration, mobility, and operational safety of welding equipment are key to improving production efficiency. In traditional welding operations, components such as welding robots, wire feeders, and welding power supplies are usually scattered, resulting in problems such as messy cables, cumbersome equipment replacement, and large space occupation. Moreover, the sharp edges of the equipment can easily cause personnel to bump or be injured by collisions. Especially in complex workshop environments, the ease of cable management, heat dissipation, and maintenance during mobile operations urgently needs to be optimized.
[0003] In existing technologies, modular integration solutions for welding equipment generally suffer from the following problems:
[0004] Loose structural layout: Core components (such as welding power supply and water chiller) lack centralized protection design, are susceptible to external environmental interference, and require complete disassembly for maintenance, resulting in low efficiency.
[0005] Inconvenient to move and operate: Moving the equipment relies on an additional trolley or handle, which takes up space and lacks flexibility; the wire feeder is mostly fixed by bolt connection, and replacement requires tools, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of rapid switching in multiple scenarios.
[0006] Significant safety hazards: Traditional metal frames have sharp edges and corners, posing a risk of collision during personnel operation or equipment movement; exposed cables are prone to tangling and wear, affecting the stability of the electrical system.
[0007] Inadequate heat dissipation and cable management: The enclosed structure lacks effective ventilation design, and core components (such as welding power supplies) are prone to failure due to poor heat dissipation; the cable layout is disorderly, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to repeatedly organize the cables when they are put into the cabinet. Utility Model Content
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide an automated robotic welding trolley, thereby solving the above-mentioned technical defects.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations. Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this utility model provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed utility model, but merely represents selected embodiments of the utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figures 1 to 6As shown, an automated robotic welding trolley includes a walking body, on which a wire feeder 1 and a collaborative robot 2 are mounted. The walking body includes a lower base plate 20, on which four columns 3 are fixed. An enclosure component is provided between each column 3. An upper base plate 4 is fixed to the upper side of the enclosure component and the column 3. The wire feeder 1 and the collaborative robot 2 are fixed to the upper base plate 4. The wire feeder 1 is fixed by a quick-fixing component.
[0030] In this embodiment, four columns 3 are bolted to the four corners of the lower base plate 20. Each column 3 shares a common enclosure assembly, which is bolted to the upper side of the column 3 to form an upper base plate 4. The outer edges of the enclosure assembly are polished to create a rounded structure, echoing the rounded surfaces of the columns 3, resulting in a smoother and more aesthetically pleasing overall design. The wire feeder 1 is secured to the trolley's worktable using quick-release clamps for easy disassembly and on-site manual operation. Both the wire feeder 1 and the collaborative robot 2 utilize existing technology.
[0031] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the enclosure assembly includes a welding machine front door panel 5, a back sealing plate 6, a fixed door panel 7, and a movable door panel structure. The welding machine front door panel 5 and the back sealing plate 6 are arranged opposite to each other, and the fixed door panel 7 and the movable door panel structure are arranged opposite to each other. The movable door panel structure includes an upper side panel 8 and a lower side panel 9 fixed between the two columns 3. A first door panel 10 and a second door panel 11 are installed between the upper side panel 8 and the lower side panel 9 via hinges.
[0032] In this embodiment, the hinges are made of stainless steel to ensure the flexibility and durability of the door panels opening and closing. When maintenance or repair of the equipment's interior is required, the first door panel 10 and the second door panel 11 can be easily opened, providing convenience and speed.
[0033] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the outer side of the column 3 is an arc surface, and the outer edges of the upper base plate 4 and the lower base plate 20 are both arc structures; one side of the upper base plate 4 extends to the outer side of the walking body to form an extension, and an elongated waist hole 41 is provided on the extension.
[0034] In this embodiment, the outer surface of the column 3 is specially processed to form an arc surface. This arc surface design not only effectively reduces air resistance during walking, but also reduces the risk of damage when colliding with other equipment in the workshop environment. The outer edges of the upper base plate 4 and the lower base plate 20 are both arc structures, effectively preventing operators from being injured by bumps during use. The elongated hole 41 is used to replace the function of a handle.
[0035] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the wire feeder 1 is fixed on a mounting base plate 12; the quick-fixing assembly includes four quick clamps 13 fixed on the upper base plate 4, and a corresponding number of locking blocks 14 are fixed on the mounting base plate 12. When the fixed end of the quick clamp 13 is engaged with the locking block 14, the position of the mounting base plate 12 is fixed.
[0036] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to fix the wire feeder 1, the operator only needs to engage the fixing end of the quick clamp 13 with the locking block 14 to quickly fix the position of the mounting base plate 12, thereby achieving stable installation of the wire feeder 1; when it is necessary to disassemble the wire feeder 1, the quick clamp 13 can be opened to easily remove the wire feeder 1 together with the mounting base plate 12, greatly improving work efficiency. The quick clamp 13 adopts existing technology, and its specific structure will not be described in detail here.
[0037] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, an installation cavity is formed between the enclosure component, the lower base plate 20, and the upper base plate 4. A welding power supply 15 and a water chiller 16 are fixed in the installation cavity. A bracket is also fixed in the installation cavity, and a control cabinet 17 is fixed on the bracket.
[0038] In this embodiment, the control cabinet 17 is used to centrally control various functions of the welding carriage, including the adjustment of parameters such as wire feeding speed, welding current, and voltage. By integrating these important components into the mounting cavity, not only is the overall structure of the welding carriage more compact, but the maintenance and management of the equipment are also facilitated.
[0039] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a teach pendant hook 18 is fixed on the fixed door panel 7, and the teach pendant hook 18 is used to hang a robot teach pendant; a plurality of first wire holes 71 are opened on the fixed door panel 7; and a second wire hole 42 is fixed on the upper bottom plate 4.
[0040] In this embodiment, the diameter of the second wire hole 42 is larger than the diameter of the first wire hole 71; the teach pendant hook 18 adopts a U-shaped structure design, which can firmly hang the robot teach pendant, making it convenient for operators to place the teach pendant during debugging and operation, and avoiding damage caused by random placement of the teach pendant. The setting of the second wire hole 42 and the first wire hole 71 provides convenience for the connection and arrangement of cables, ensuring the normal operation of the electrical system inside the welding carriage.
[0041] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a louver 61 is formed on the back sealing plate 6; and a wire outlet hole 51 is provided on the front door plate 5 and the lower side plate 9 of the welding machine.
[0042] In this embodiment, the louvers 61 have an inclined blade design, which can effectively block dust and debris from entering the equipment while ensuring good ventilation and heat dissipation.
[0043] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of cable hooks 19 are fixed on the lower side of the upper base plate 4.
[0044] In this embodiment, the cable hook 19 can hang the cables in an orderly manner, preventing them from getting tangled and ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the wiring inside the welding trolley.
[0045] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a plurality of cable clips 21 are fixed on the lower base plate 20.
[0046] In this embodiment, the position of the cable clamp 21 is precisely arranged according to the cable route, which can firmly fix the cable on the bottom plate 20, prevent the cable from being damaged due to shaking during the operation of the welding trolley, and ensure the stability and reliability of the cable connection.
[0047] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a walking wheel is also fixed to the lower side of the lower base plate 20.
[0048] Working principle of this utility model:
[0049] First, the trolley is moved to the welding area via the wheels on the underside of the lower base plate 20.

The arc-shaped design of the column 3 reduces air resistance during movement and avoids collisions with workshop equipment. After reaching the designated position, the control cabinet 17 is activated to centrally control welding parameters, such as adjusting wire feed speed, welding current, and voltage. At this time, the wire feeder 1 is fixed to the mounting base plate 12 of the upper base plate 4 by the engagement of the quick clamp 13 and the locking block 14, ensuring stable wire feeding. The collaborative robot 2 receives instructions from the control cabinet 17 and executes the welding operation. The welding power supply 15 and the water chiller 16 work together in the mounting cavity to provide welding energy and cool the system.
