[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding technology, and in particular to a welding alignment mechanism for processing metal workpieces. Background Technology

[0002] A welding alignment mechanism for metal workpiece processing is a mechanism used to align metal workpieces together for welding. Welding, also known as fusion welding, is a manufacturing process and technology that joins metals or other thermoplastic materials such as plastics by heating, high temperature or high pressure.

[0003] Currently, in the process of welding metal workpieces, alignment mechanisms are needed to align the metal workpieces. High-temperature welding slag can easily cause burns and other injuries to operators. At the same time, a certain amount of fumes are also generated during the welding process, which will drift into the working environment and cause harm to the health of operators.

[0011] Both the first servo motor and the second servo motor have threaded rods fixedly connected to their output ends.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] All threaded rods pass through and are threadedly connected to the support rods, and all threaded rods are rotatably connected to the sliding grooves.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, a smoke extraction pipe, a smoke pipe, a first hydraulic cylinder, a fixing plate, and a fixing column are first set up. When the welding torch is moved forward by the first hydraulic cylinder for welding, the external smoke extraction pump discharges the toxic fumes generated during welding through the smoke extraction pipe, thereby preventing the toxic fumes generated during welding from drifting in the working environment and causing harm to the operator's health.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, a collection tank, an inlet pipe, a drain pipe, and a ramp are provided. The ramp is located in the collection tank, and the inlet pipe is located at the high point of the ramp, while the drain pipe is located at the low point of the ramp. The inlet pipe adds water to the collection tank, and the water flows downward on the ramp. Welding slag falls onto the ramp, is cooled by the water, and rolls down to the lower point. The drain pipe drains the water, thus circulating the system to prevent the high-temperature welding slag from burning the operator. Attached Figure Description

Connecting plates 18 are fixedly connected between the tops of two adjacent support rods 2. Fixing blocks 6 are fixedly connected to the top front and rear ends of the connecting plates 18. A collecting groove 3 is fixedly connected at the center of the top of the base 15. A ramp 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the collecting groove 3. A first servo motor 1 is fixedly connected to the rear left side of the base 15. A first servo motor 1 is fixedly connected to the rear right side of the base 15. A second servo motor 7 is fixedly connected to the end. A fixed column 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the front end of the base 15. A fixed plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the front end of the fixed column 13. A first hydraulic cylinder 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed plate 12. A welding torch 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first hydraulic cylinder 11. A smoke bucket 5 is fixedly connected through the outer wall of the welding torch 4. The four second hydraulic cylinders 17 are in a retracted state. The first clamping claw 16 and the second clamping claw 22 are in a separated state. The two opposing second hydraulic cylinders 17 extend further, so that the first clamping claw 16 and the second clamping claw 22 close to clamp the metal workpiece.

[0031] The inner walls of the two front sliding grooves 9 are each fixedly connected with a sliding rod 14, which passes through and slides between the rod and the support rod 2. A water inlet pipe 19 passes through and is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the collection trough 3, and a drain pipe 21 passes through and is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the collection trough 3. Threaded rods 8 are fixedly connected to the output ends of the first servo motor 1 and the second servo motor 7, which pass through and are threaded between the rod and the support rod 2. The threaded rods 8 are rotatably connected to the sliding grooves 9. The fixing blocks 6 pass through and are fixedly connected to the first...

Then, the first servo motor 1 and the second servo motor 7 drive the threaded rod 8 to rotate, moving the metal workpiece towards the center. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder 11 is activated, driving the welding torch 4 to move and weld the workpiece. At the same time, the external air pump is activated, and the toxic fumes are extracted outward through the smoke extraction pipe 5. The welding slag produced during welding falls downward. After cooling on the slope 20, the welding slag rolls downward. The water pump draws water from the collection tank 3 through the drain pipe 21 and discharges it back into the collection tank 3 through the water inlet pipe 19. An isolation net is set at the opening of the drain pipe 21 to prevent the welding slag from being drawn out by the water pump and causing damage to the water pump.
