[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0026] The specific implementation of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] Please see Figure 1 The present invention provides a flexible welding component production and intelligent tooling adjustment device, comprising: a flexible welding component body 1 and a replacement structure 3. Several linkage plates 2 are installed inside the flexible welding component body 1. Two fixing tubes 4 are installed on the lower surface of the linkage plates 2. A suction cup 5 is installed at the end of the fixing tube 4 away from the linkage plates 2 by means of the replacement structure 3. The replacement structure 3 is provided on the arc surface of the fixing tube 4.

[0028] In the embodiments of this utility model, please refer to Figures 2 to 4The replacement structure 3 includes a fixing ring 301 and a connecting tube 316. The fixing ring 301 is fixedly connected to the fixing tube 4, and the connecting tube 316 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 5. Two slots 305 are provided inside the connecting tube 316. Two positioning blocks 315 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the connecting tube 316. Positioning grooves 317 are provided on the inner wall of the positioning blocks 315. Two fixing plates 302 and two fixing blocks 309 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the fixing ring 301. The fixing blocks 309 are close to the positioning blocks 315. A limiting rod 310 is fixedly connected to one side, and the limiting rod 310 is slidably connected to the positioning groove 317. A telescopic plate 303 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the fixed plate 302. A connecting plate 304 is fixedly connected to the side of the telescopic plate 303 away from the fixed ring 301. A spring 308 is provided on the side of the connecting plate 304 that is close to the fixed tube 4. The two ends of the spring 308 are fixedly connected to the connecting plate 304 and the fixed tube 4 respectively. A locking block 306 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 304 that is close to the spring 308. When the suction cup 5 ages after prolonged use and needs replacement, personnel can move the two connecting plates 304 to slide the locking block 306 out of the inner wall of the locking groove 305. Then, personnel can move the suction cup 5 to slide the connecting tube 316 out of the arc surface of the fixing tube 4, thus facilitating the replacement of the aging suction cup 5 and improving replacement efficiency. Two telescopic rods 307 are fixedly connected to the arc surface of the fixing tube 4. The output end of the telescopic rod 307 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 304, and the spring 308 is sleeved on the arc surface of the telescopic rod 307. The telescopic rod 307 can limit the spring 308 and prevent the spring 308 from deforming during short-term use. A pull ring 313 with a circular cross-section is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting plate 304 away from the spring 308. The pull ring 313 facilitates the movement of the connecting plate 304, improving operational convenience. An anti-slip sleeve 312 is fixedly connected to the arc surface of the pull ring 313; the anti-slip sleeve 312 has a hollow circular cross-section. The anti-slip sleeve 312 increases the friction between the user's hand and the pull ring 313, preventing slippage during movement. A guide block 311 is fixedly connected to the end of the limiting rod 310 furthest from the fixing block 309. The guide block 311 guides the limiting rod 310, allowing it to slide easily into the inner wall of the positioning groove 317. A sealing gasket 314 is fixedly connected to the side of the fixing tube 4 closest to the suction cup 5. The sealing gasket 314 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting tube 316, increasing the seal between the fixing tube 4 and the connecting tube 316 and preventing gas from leaking out between them.

[0029] The working principle of the flexible welding component production and intelligent tooling adjustment device provided by this utility model is as follows: When personnel need to replace the aging suction cup 5, they can first use the anti-slip sleeve 312 to move the pull ring 313 away from the fixed tube 4. The anti-slip sleeve 312 increases the friction between the personnel's hand and the pull ring 313, preventing slippage during the movement of the pull ring 313. Then, the pull ring 313 drives the connecting plate 304 to move away from the fixed tube 4. The connecting plate 304 facilitates movement by personnel, improving operational convenience. The connecting plate 304 then moves the output ends of the locking block 306, telescopic plate 303, and telescopic rod 307 away from the fixed tube 4. The connecting plate 304 also stretches the spring 308. The telescopic rod 307 limits the spring 308, preventing deformation during short-term use, until the locking block 306 slides out of the inner wall of the slot 305. Then, the suction cup 5 moves, causing the connecting tube 31 to move. The connecting pipe 316 moves away from the fixed pipe 4, causing the two positioning blocks 315 to move away from the fixed pipe 4 until the guide block 311 slides out of the inner wall of the positioning groove 317 and the sealing gasket 314 completely slides out of the inner wall of the connecting pipe 316. The guide block 311 can guide the limiting rod 310, making it easy for personnel to slide the limiting rod 310 into the inner wall of the positioning groove 317. The sealing gasket 314 can increase the sealing between the fixed pipe 4 and the connecting pipe 316, preventing gas from flowing out of the connecting pipe 316 and the fixed pipe 4. When a new suction cup 5 needs to be installed on the fixed tube 4, the personnel can first move the suction cup 5 so that the connecting tube 316 is fitted onto the arc surface of the fixed tube 4, and the guide block 311 slides into the inner wall of the positioning groove 317. At this time, the connecting tube 316 will drive the two locking blocks 306 to move away from the fixed tube 4 until the inner wall of the connecting tube 316 abuts against the sealing gasket 314. At this time, the locking block 306 is exactly aligned with the locking groove 305. Then the spring 308 rebounds and causes the locking block 306 to slide into the inner wall of the locking groove 305.

[0030] The circuits and controls involved in this utility model are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail here. The above description is only an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model.
