Detailed Implementation
[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0017] like Figure 1As shown, a welding frame 5 is fixed at one corner of the base plate 1. The base plate 1 serves as the base of the entire fixed fixture, supporting and fixing all other components to ensure the stability of the structure. A positioning pin 8 is connected to one side of the welding frame 5. A welding support 10 is connected above the welding frame 5. The welding support 10 is rotatably connected to the pressure arm 6 via a rotating shaft 6.1. The top of the pressure arm 6 is connected to the pressure head 7. A fixed support 13 is fixed at another corner of the base plate 1. The fixed support 13 is vertically provided with a connecting fixing block 14. The fixing block 14 is rotatably connected to the handle 15 via screws 20. One side of the handle 15 is connected to one end of the telescopic motor 18. The other end of the telescopic motor 18 passes through the flip plate 11. A positioning sleeve 12 is also embedded in the flip plate 11. The positioning pin 9 passes through the positioning sleeve 12 and the flip plate 11 and is connected to the telescopic motor 18. A limit device 2 is also circumferentially surrounding the center of the base plate 1. The handle 15 is connected to the telescopic motor 18 to transmit power to drive the flip plate 11 to rotate.
[0018] The product 21 to be processed is fixed in the center of the base plate 1.
[0019] There are three limiting devices 2 in total. The three limiting devices 2 are installed around the outer shape of the product 21 to be processed. The limiting device 2 includes a stop block 3 and a support block 4. The stop block 3 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1 by screws. The base plate 1 has screw holes. The support block 4 is connected inside the stop block 3. The limiting device 2 surrounds the outer perimeter of the product 21 to be processed. The specific installation position and angle of the limiting device 2 can be adjusted to restrict the movement of the workpiece and provide multi-directional positioning for the product 21 to be processed. The stop block 3 is fixed to the base plate 1 by screws. The support block 4 is embedded in the stop block 3 to provide vertical support and adapt to the fine adjustment needs of different workpiece heights.
[0020] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, the pressure head 7 includes a fixing groove 7.1 and a pressing structure 7.2. The pressing structure 7.2 is fixed to both sides of the pressure head 7 through the fixing groove 7.1. The pressing structure 7.2 has downward bent top feet 7.3. The top feet 7.3 on both sides increase the contact area and evenly distribute the pressing force.
[0021] A robotic arm 19 is installed above the product 21 to be processed. The robotic arm 19 is located above the workpiece and is responsible for automated loading and unloading or auxiliary welding operations to reduce manual intervention.
[0022] One side of the positioning pin 18 is connected to the telescopic motor 17, which is installed inside the welding frame 5. The positioning pin 18 is driven by the telescopic motor 2, and the top of the positioning pin 18 can be inserted into the precise positioning of the product 21 to be processed.
[0023] One end of the pressure arm 6 is connected to the motor 16, which drives the pressure head 7 to extend and fix the workpiece to prevent welding vibration.
[0024] The specific implementation process of this utility model is as follows: Technicians install the limiting device 2 on the corresponding screw holes of the base plate 1 according to the product. The robot arm 19 picks up the product 21 to be processed and places it on the base plate 1. Taking a common compressor as an example, the product 21 to be processed is generally a top cover and a second cover. The robot arm 19 feeds the product separately, placing the second cover and top cover above the base plate 1 in sequence. At this time, the stops 3 and supports 4 of the three limiting devices 2 fix the workpiece from all sides to prevent displacement. The telescopic motor 17 extends to drive the positioning pin 8 to insert into the workpiece hole. The handle 15 flips down the flip plate 11, activating the telescopic motor 18. The extension arm is inserted into the workpiece hole to fix the product 21 to be processed from another angle. The motor 16 causes the pressure arm 6 to rotate and press down. The pressure head 7 presses the workpiece from above through the top foot 7.3. The welding machine receives the signal and starts automatic full-circumference welding. After welding is completed, the pressure head 7 that is pressed at the top is released, and the positioning pins 1 and 2 on the side retract. The processed product is in a free state. The robot arm 19 grabs the product and puts it into the turnover box to prepare for the next cycle. This utility model uses multi-motor coordinated control of positioning, pressing and flipping actions to reduce manual operation. The positioning pins 1 and 2 cooperate with the limiting device 2 to ensure the accuracy of welding position and angle.
