Abstract
Description
A ground rail structure for a slag-adding robot Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of ground rail technology, specifically to a ground rail structure for a slag-adding robot. Background Technology
[0002] In submerged arc welding, the flux flows out of the funnel and is evenly deposited on the assembled workpiece. The welding wire is fed into the welding arc zone by the wire feeding mechanism via rollers and contact nozzles. The welding process is automatically controlled by the button switches on the control panel. During the welding process, a 30-50mm thick layer of granular flux covers the area of the workpiece to be welded. The continuously fed welding wire generates an arc between itself and the workpiece under the flux layer. The heat of the arc melts the welding wire, workpiece, and flux, forming a molten metal pool that isolates them from the air.
[0003] The two ends of the welding power source are connected to the contact nozzle and the workpiece, respectively. The slag-adding robot is usually mounted on a small carriage to move the welding arc. As the welding machine moves forward automatically, the arc continuously melts the workpiece metal, welding wire, and flux in front of it, while the edge of the molten pool begins to cool and solidify to form a weld. The liquid slag then also solidifies to form a hard slag shell. During the welding process, flux will fall downwards. Some flux will fall onto the travel path of the carriage. Some carriages are driven by ball screws. Because the flux is relatively small, some flux will enter the mating gap of the ball screw during use, affecting the travel path of the carriage, causing excessive wear of the drive components, and reducing its service life. Therefore, this technical solution is proposed to improve the process. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies where flux falls onto the travel path of the trolley, affecting the welding effect, and to provide a ground rail structure for a slag-adding robot.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a ground rail structure for a slag-adding robot, comprising a horizontally arranged mounting base, an installation platform slidably arranged on the upper part of the mounting base, a track groove arranged on the side of the mounting base, a moving device connected to the track groove arranged on the lower part of the installation platform, and a drive chain arranged in the middle position of the installation platform.
[0006] Furthermore, a pad is provided at the bottom of the mounting base, a drive motor connected to the drive chain is provided at the end of the mounting base, and a chain groove for accommodating the drive chain is provided at the bottom of the mounting base.
[0007] Furthermore, the track groove is arranged along the length of the mounting base, the track groove is vertically arranged and the opening faces outward, and the bottom of the track groove is set as a concave surface.
[0008] Furthermore, the mobile device includes a connecting leg disposed on the side of the mounting platform, a connecting block disposed on the inner side of the connecting leg, a mounting block disposed on the side of the connecting block, and a track wheel disposed inside the mounting block, the track wheel being slidably connected to the track groove.
[0009] Furthermore, cleaning plates are provided at both ends of the mounting block, and the ends of the cleaning plates abut against the bottom of the track groove.
[0010] Furthermore, the upper surface of the drive chain is provided with a connecting plate that connects to the bottom of the mounting platform.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model embodiment are as follows: The bottom of the mounting base is also provided with a chain groove, which is used to accommodate the drive chain, so that the drive chain has a fixed track during operation, avoiding interference with other components. When the drive motor is working, it drives the drive chain to move through the reducer, and then pulls the mounting platform along the track groove through the connecting plate, realizing the movement control of the slag-adding robot. Compared with the traditional screw drive, this drive method can effectively avoid the wear of the drive components by the flux, reduce the wear problem caused by the flux, improve the service life and operational stability of the equipment. The installation platform moves on the mounting base by the rolling of the track wheel in the track groove. In order to prevent the flux from entering the track groove and affecting the operation of the track wheel, cleaning plates are set at both ends of the mounting block. The ends of the cleaning plates are in close contact with the bottom of the track groove. When the mounting platform moves, the cleaning plates will move with it, and clean the flux that falls into the track groove in time, ensuring the cleanliness of the track groove, ensuring the smooth operation of the track wheel, reducing the impact of flux falling on the welding process, and extending the service life.

[0018] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Those skilled in the art should understand that these embodiments are merely for explaining the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Referring to Figures 1 to 5, this utility model embodiment discloses a ground rail structure for a slag-adding robot. The overall structure includes a horizontally arranged mounting base 1 as a basic support component. Several pads 101 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the mounting base 1. These pads 101 not only provide stable support but also adjust the levelness of the mounting base 1 according to the actual installation environment, ensuring the smooth movement of the subsequent installation platform 2. A drive motor 301 is installed at the end of the mounting base 1, which serves as a power source to provide driving force for the operation of the entire ground rail structure. A chain groove is also provided at the bottom of the mounting base 1 to accommodate the drive chain 3, ensuring that the drive chain 3 has a fixed track during operation and avoiding interference with other components. An installation platform 2 is slidably arranged on the upper part of the mounting base 1. The installation platform 2 is the load-bearing component of the slag-adding robot and is used to install the slag-adding robot and related equipment. A drive chain 3 is arranged in the middle of the installation platform 2, and a connecting plate is installed on the upper surface of the drive chain 3, which is connected to the bottom of the installation platform 2. When the drive motor 301 is working, it drives the drive chain 3 to move through the reducer, and then pulls the installation platform 2 along the track groove 102 through the connecting plate, thereby realizing the movement control of the slag-adding robot. Compared with the traditional screw drive, this drive method can effectively avoid the wear of the drive components by the flux, reduce the wear problem caused by the flux, and improve the service life and operational stability of the equipment.
[0020] A track groove 102 is vertically provided along the length of the side of the mounting base 1. The opening of the track groove 102 faces outward and is located along the outer side of the mounting base 1. The bottom of the track groove 102 is concave, and the upper part of the track groove 102 is slightly wider than the lower part, providing a shielding effect, enhancing the structural strength of the track groove 102, facilitating the stable operation of the subsequent track wheels 202, and reducing flux falling and adhering to the inside of the track groove 102, thus minimizing the impact on the movement of the mounting platform 2 and improving the usability. A moving device is provided at the lower part of the mounting platform 2 and connected to the track groove 102. The moving device is a connecting leg 201 extending from the side of the mounting platform 2. The connecting leg 201 is L-shaped, with one end connected to the mounting platform 2 and the other end connected to the track groove 102. A connecting block is installed inside the connecting leg 201 and positioned below the mounting platform 2. An mounting block 203 is fixed to the side of the connecting block. A track wheel 202 is installed inside the mounting block 203 and is slidably connected to the track groove 102, so that the track wheel 202 and the entire mounting block 203 are below the mounting platform 2, preventing flux from affecting the track wheel 202 and the track groove 102. The mounting platform 2 moves on the mounting seat 1 by the rolling of the track wheel 202 in the track groove 102. To prevent flux from entering the track groove 102 and affecting the operation of the track wheel 202, cleaning plates 204 are provided at both ends of the mounting block 203, and the ends of the cleaning plates 204 are in close contact with the bottom of the track groove 102. When the installation platform 2 moves, the cleaning plate 204 moves along with it, promptly cleaning out the flux that falls into the track groove 102, ensuring the cleanliness of the track groove 102 and the smooth operation of the track wheel 202. In practical applications, the slag-adding robot is installed on the installation platform 2 of this ground rail structure. The drive motor 301 is started, and the drive chain 3 begins to move. Through the connecting plate, the installation platform 2 moves along the track groove 102, and the slag-adding robot moves accordingly in the welding area to complete the slag-adding and welding tasks. Throughout the process, the cleaning plate 204 works continuously to ensure that there is no flux accumulation in the track groove 102, ensuring the accurate movement trajectory of the installation platform 2 and providing a reliable guarantee for the stable operation of submerged arc welding.
