[0030] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a robot structure suitable for narrow-slit welding, including a base 1. A robotic arm 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A robotic arm 3 is rotatably connected to the left side of the robotic arm 2. During welding, the robotic arm 2 and robotic arm 3 can be operated to control the direction. A welding arm 4 is fixedly connected to the left side of the robotic arm 3. A groove is opened inside the bottom end of the welding arm 4 to accommodate the locking part. A connecting post 14 is fixedly connected inside the welding arm 4. Multiple locking blocks 15 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting post 14. A cylindrical groove space is opened inside the locking block 15. Two springs 16 are fixedly connected inside the welding arm 4. A retaining ring 17 is fixedly connected to the outside of the two springs 16. The retaining ring 17 can be locked in the position of the connecting post 14 to prevent it from falling due to its own weight. A connector 21 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the locking block 15. The bottom of the connector 21 is designed as a curved surface to facilitate sliding from the edge of the curved surface during installation or disassembly. A locking shaft 20 is fixedly connected inside the connector 21.

[0032] Reference Figure 4The bottom of the connector 21 is fixedly connected to a connecting post 22, the bottom of the connecting post 22 is fixedly connected to a conical block 23, the bottom of the conical block 23 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 24, the bottom of the connecting block 24 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 3 25, the bottom of the connecting block 3 25 is fixedly connected to a welding head 9, and the outside of the welding arm 4 is fixedly connected to multiple limiting blocks 19. Both the left and right sides of the limiting blocks 19 are fixedly connected to connecting blocks 18, and the adjacent side of the limiting blocks 19 is rotatably connected to a connecting shaft 18. The welding head 9 can be limited by removing or inserting the connecting shaft 18 to ensure that the welding head 9 is connected to the welding arm 4.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 Multiple fixing rings 7 are fixedly connected to the outside of both welding arm 4 and robotic arm 2 3. A smoke pipe 6 is rotatably connected inside the fixing ring 7. The fixing ring 7 can limit the smoke pipe 6 to prevent the smoke pipe 6 from shaking excessively during the rotation of robotic arm 2 and robotic arm 2 3 during welding. A dust collection box 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the smoke pipe 6. The top of the dust collection box 5 has multiple small grooves to facilitate the discharge of purified gas. A filter screen 10 is fixedly connected inside the dust collection box 5. A fan 11 is fixedly connected inside the dust collection box 5. A motor 12 is fixedly connected to the right side of the fan 11. The motor 12 provides driving force for the rotation of the fan 11. A support plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the motor 12.

[0034] Working principle: When the welding arm 4 needs to be disassembled, the connecting shaft 18 is first pulled out from the limiting block 19, the first layer of limiting structure is released, and the cylindrical grooves in the multiple engaging blocks 15 engage with the mating joint 21. The mating joint 21 is equipped with an engaging shaft 20, which engages with the cylindrical space of the engaging block 15. This can prevent the welding head 9 from loosening or shifting during the rotation of the robotic arm 1 2 and robotic arm 2 3. The welding arm 4 is equipped with a spring 16, and the retaining ring 17 can be locked onto the connecting post 1 at the top of the welding head 9. Position 4 prevents the welding head 9 from falling off automatically during splicing and installation due to its neutrality. The bottom of the joint 21 is designed as a curved surface, which exerts force on the retaining ring 17, causing the spring 16 to compress and allowing the welding head 9 to be removed directly. During installation, the welding head 9 is inserted into the welding arm 4, and the connecting column 14 slides towards the inner wall of the welding arm 4. The spring 16 will compress through its own elasticity, locking the retaining ring 17 onto the outside of the connecting column 14. Finally, the connecting shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the limiting block 19.

[0035] During welding, the motor 12 is activated, which drives the fan 11 to rotate. Because the top of the dust collection box 5 has a small groove, the high-speed rotation of the fan 11 creates a pressure difference between the inside and outside of the dust collection box 5, resulting in a partial vacuum inside. Under atmospheric pressure, the welding fumes are drawn into the smoke pipe 6 and then into the dust collection box 5. The dust collection box 5 is equipped with a filter screen 10, and the fumes are discharged after being filtered.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
