Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of welding technology, and more particularly to an integrated drag-and-drop welding robot. Background Technology
[0002] Welding robots are industrial robots that perform welding (including cutting and spraying). According to the definition of standard welding robots by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), an industrial robot is a multi-purpose, reprogrammable, automated control manipulator with three or more programmable axes, used in the field of industrial automation. To adapt to different applications, the mechanical interface of the robot's last axis is usually a connecting flange, which can be connected to different tools or end effectors. Welding robots are industrial robots with welding clamps or welding (cutting) guns attached to the flange of the last axis, enabling them to perform welding, cutting, or thermal spraying.
[0003] When mass-producing large components, gantry welding robots are typically used to weld longitudinal welds, while drag-type welding robots are used to weld transverse welds. Existing drag-type robots consist of a welding host, a wire feeder, and a welding robotic arm. There are a large number of electrical wires, air pipes, and other pipelines between the welding host, wire feeder, and welding robotic arm. During use, these pipelines will be scattered on the ground, which is not conducive to dragging construction, affects work efficiency, and also poses safety hazards such as tripping workers.
[0004] Therefore, this application proposes an integrated drag-and-drop welding robot. Utility Model Content
[0005] This application proposes an integrated drag-and-drop welding robot to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. The wire take-up device includes a movable housing, in which the welding host is placed. A first hollow wire guide tube extends from the top of the housing. All wires run through the first hollow wire guide tube to a second hollow wire guide tube. The second hollow wire guide tube is equipped with a receiving device for mounting the wire feeder. During operation, the wire feeder is fixed on the second hollow wire guide tube, and the welding worker holds the welding robotic arm to weld the workpiece. By containing part of the wire in the first hollow wire guide tube and sending the other part through the second hollow wire guide tube to a high position for suspension, when the welding robotic arm is moved, the wire is suspended in the air instead of lying on the ground, which facilitates the dragging work of the welding robot, reduces the safety hazard of tripping the worker, and greatly improves the practicality of the device.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution:
[0007] An integrated drag-and-drop welding robot includes a wire take-up device, a receiving device, a welding robotic arm, and an anti-tipping mechanism. The wire take-up device includes a movable housing, a welding host, a first hollow wire routing tube, a second hollow wire routing tube, and casters. The receiving device is fixedly connected to the second hollow wire routing tube. The welding robotic arm is located at the end of the second hollow wire routing tube away from the first hollow wire routing tube. The anti-tipping mechanism is located on the movable housing.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the welding host is fixedly connected inside the movable housing, and a first hollow wiring tube is fixedly connected inside the movable housing and on one side of the welding host, with the top end of the first hollow wiring tube extending above the movable housing.
[0009] The welding host is placed inside the housing, and a first hollow conduit extends from the top of the housing. All conduits run from inside the first hollow conduit to a second hollow conduit. The second hollow conduit is equipped with a housing for the wire feeder. During operation, the wire feeder is fixed on the second hollow conduit, and the welding worker uses a welding robotic arm to weld the workpiece, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the second hollow cable conduit is installed on the top of the first hollow cable conduit, and a support rod is provided between the first hollow cable conduit and the second hollow cable conduit.
[0011] By housing part of the pipeline in a first hollow conduit and sending the other part to a high place for suspension through a second hollow conduit, the pipeline is suspended in the air when the welding robot arm is moved, rather than lying on the ground. This makes it easier for the welding robot to drag the pipeline, reduces the safety hazard of workers tripping, and improves the practicality of the device.
[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the receiving device includes a wire feeder installed within the receiving device;
[0013] The second hollow cable tray is equipped with a housing device for mounting the wire feeder. During operation, the wire feeder is fixed on the second hollow cable tray, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0014] In one preferred embodiment, the anti-tipping mechanism includes an auxiliary support, a ring-shaped fixing frame, a first counterweight, a second counterweight, and an auxiliary wheel;
[0015] By setting up an anti-tipping mechanism, the mobile housing can glide stably during movement, preventing it from tipping over due to instability, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the auxiliary support is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable housing, and a ring-shaped fixing frame is fixedly connected to the bottom of the auxiliary support;
[0017] By setting up an anti-tipping mechanism, the auxiliary support is balanced when the welding robot is being dragged. In addition, the first and second counterweights in the bottom ring-shaped fixed frame improve the practicality of the device.
[0018] In a preferred embodiment, a first counterweight is provided inside the auxiliary support, and a second counterweight is provided on the top of the first counterweight and on the side of the annular fixed frame away from the welding robot arm.
[0019] By setting a second counterweight, the side of the ring-shaped fixed frame away from the welding robot arm is heavier than the side closer to the welding robot arm. Therefore, when dragging the welding robot arm, the moving shell will not lose weight and tip towards the welding robot arm, thereby improving the stability of the moving shell and enhancing the practicality of the device.
[0020] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the annular fixing frame is rotatably connected to a plurality of auxiliary wheels, each of which is in contact with the ground;
[0021] By setting multiple auxiliary wheels at the bottom of the annular fixed frame, the device's practicality is improved as the moving housing moves synchronously with the annular fixed frame.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this application are:
[0023] 1. An integrated drag-and-drop welding robot includes a wire-retrieving device comprising a movable housing, in which a welding host is placed. A first hollow conduit extends from the top of the housing, through which all wires run to a second hollow conduit. The second hollow conduit is equipped with a housing for mounting a wire feeder. During operation, the wire feeder is fixed to the second hollow conduit, and the welder holds the welding robotic arm to weld the workpiece. By housing part of the wires in the first hollow conduit and sending the other part through the second hollow conduit to a high position for suspension, the wires remain suspended in the air when the welding robotic arm is moved, rather than lying on the ground. This facilitates dragging the welding robot, reduces the safety hazard of tripping workers, and greatly improves the practicality of the device.
[0024] 2. This integrated drag-and-drop welding robot, by setting up an anti-tipping mechanism, assists in the balance of the auxiliary support when dragging the welding robot. Combined with the first and second counterweights within the bottom annular fixed frame, this allows the moving shell to glide stably during movement, preventing tilting due to instability. By setting the second counterweight, the side of the annular fixed frame away from the welding robot arm is heavier than the side closer to the welding robot arm. Therefore, when dragging the welding robot arm, the moving shell will not lose weight and tilt towards the welding robot arm, thereby improving the stability of the moving shell and greatly enhancing the practicality of the device.

[0029] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments.
[0030] Reference Figure 1-3 An integrated drag welding robot includes a wire take-up device 1, a receiving device 2, a welding robotic arm 3, and an anti-tipping mechanism 4. The wire take-up device 1 includes a movable housing 11, a welding host 12, a first hollow cable routing tube 13, a second hollow cable routing tube 14, and casters 15. The receiving device 2 is fixedly connected to the second hollow cable routing tube 14. The welding robotic arm 3 is located at the end of the second hollow cable routing tube 14 away from the first hollow cable routing tube 13. The anti-tipping mechanism 4 is located on the movable housing 11.
[0031] The welding host 12 is fixedly connected inside the movable housing 11. Inside the movable housing 11 and on one side of the welding host 12, a first hollow conduit 13 is fixedly connected, and the top end of the first hollow conduit 13 extends above the movable housing 11. The welding host 12 is placed inside the housing, and a first hollow conduit 13 extends out from the top of the housing. All pipelines run from inside the first hollow conduit 13 to a second hollow conduit 14. The second hollow conduit 14 is provided with a receiving device 2 for mounting the wire feeder 21. During operation, the wire feeder 21 is fixed on the second hollow conduit 14, and the welding worker holds the welding robotic arm 3 to weld the workpiece, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0032] The second hollow conduit 14 is installed on the top of the first hollow conduit 13, and a support rod 16 is set between the first hollow conduit 13 and the second hollow conduit 14. By accommodating part of the conduit in the first hollow conduit 13 and sending the other part through the second hollow conduit 14 to a high place for suspension, when the welding robot arm 3 is moved, the conduit is suspended in the air instead of lying on the ground, which makes it easier for the welding robot to drag it to work and also reduces the safety hazard of tripping workers, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0033] The housing device 2 includes a wire feeder 21, which is installed inside the housing device 2. The housing device 2 is provided on the second hollow cable tray 14 to house the wire feeder 21. During operation, the wire feeder 21 is fixed on the second hollow cable tray 14, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0034] The anti-tipping mechanism 4 includes an auxiliary support 41, a ring-shaped fixing frame 42, a first counterweight 43, a second counterweight 44, and an auxiliary wheel 45. By setting the anti-tipping mechanism 4, the movable housing 11 can slide stably during movement, preventing tilting due to instability of the center of gravity, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0035] The auxiliary support 41 is fixedly connected to the outside of the movable housing 11, and the bottom of the auxiliary support 41 is fixedly connected to the annular fixing frame 42. By setting the anti-tipping mechanism 4, the balance of the auxiliary support 41 when dragging the welding robot, plus the first counterweight 43 and the second counterweight 44 in the bottom annular fixing frame 42, improves the practicality of the device.
[0036] The auxiliary support 41 is equipped with a first counterweight 43 inside. A second counterweight 44 is provided on the top of the first counterweight 43 and on the side of the annular fixed frame 42 away from the welding robot arm 3. By setting the second counterweight 44, the side of the annular fixed frame 42 away from the welding robot arm 3 is heavier than the side closer to the welding robot arm 3. Therefore, when the welding robot arm 3 is dragged, the movable housing 11 will not lose weight and tilt towards the welding robot arm 3, thereby improving the stability of the movable housing 11 and thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0037] The bottom of the annular fixed frame 42 is rotatably connected to multiple auxiliary wheels 45, each of which is in contact with the ground. By setting multiple auxiliary wheels 45 at the bottom of the annular fixed frame 42, the annular fixed frame 42 can move synchronously when the movable housing 11 moves, thereby improving the practicality of the device.
[0038] Working principle: The integrated drag welding robot includes a wire take-up device 1, which includes a movable housing 11. The welding host 12 is placed inside the housing. A first hollow wire routing tube 13 extends from the top of the housing. All wires run from inside the first hollow wire routing tube 13 to a second hollow wire routing tube 14. The second hollow wire routing tube 14 is equipped with a receiving device 2 for mounting a wire feeder 21. During operation, the wire feeder 21 is fixed on the second hollow wire routing tube 14, and the welding worker holds the welding robotic arm 3 to weld the workpiece.
[0039] By housing part of the pipeline in the first hollow conduit 13 and sending the other part to a high place for suspension through the second hollow conduit 14, the pipeline is suspended in the air when the welding robot arm 3 is moved, instead of lying on the ground. This makes it easier for the welding robot to drag the pipeline and reduces the safety hazard of workers tripping.
[0040] By setting the anti-tipping mechanism 4, when the welding robot is dragged, the balance of the auxiliary support 41, together with the first counterweight 43 and the second counterweight 44 in the bottom annular fixing frame 42, can make the moving shell 11 slide stably during the movement, preventing the instability of the center of gravity and the phenomenon of tipping over. By setting the second counterweight 44, the side of the annular fixing frame 42 away from the welding robot arm 3 is heavier than the side closer to the welding robot arm 3. Therefore, when dragging the welding robot arm 3, the moving shell 11 will not lose weight and tip over in the direction of the welding robot arm 3, thereby improving the stability of the moving shell 11.
[0041] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application, but the scope of protection of this application is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in this application, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of this application, should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
