Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of space frame welding, and in particular to a welding device for large-span, multi-layer, irregularly shaped space frames. Background Technology

[0002] Large-span, multi-layered irregular-shaped space frame is a three-dimensional spatial structure composed of interwoven steel components with multi-curved geometric shapes. It combines lightweight and high load-bearing characteristics and is widely used in large public buildings such as stadiums and convention centers to achieve the integration of open column-free space and aesthetic design.

[0003] Existing metal mesh welding devices, such as the one disclosed in utility model patent application number 202323338676.5, mainly include a base plate. Four sets of mounting seats are symmetrically arranged on the top of the base plate, each mounting seat is connected to a driving device. A rectangular block is connected to the driving device. A bearing plate is fixedly mounted on the top of the rectangular block, and a second bearing plate is in close contact with the side wall of the first bearing plate. A hinge is fixedly installed between the second bearing plate and the first bearing plate. A limit block is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first bearing plate. In use, when the metal mesh being processed is rectangular, the handle is pulled sequentially, causing the handle to move the round rod away from the limit block. Simultaneously, the second bearing plate is pushed downwards, causing the horizontally positioned second bearing plate to rotate to a negative angle via the hinge. At this point, a rectangular metal mesh can be processed on the first bearing plate. When the metal mesh being processed is circular, the above operation is reversed.

[0004] However, large-span, multi-layer, irregularly shaped space frames are three-dimensional structures. During the welding process, the welding torch needs to be inserted into different layers of the space frame for welding, which is very troublesome. Moreover, the space frame has a large span, so the position of the welding machine needs to be constantly adjusted. Most existing welding machines are fixedly installed, making it difficult to complete the welding task of large-span space frames. Utility Model Content
