[0022] 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.

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features and advantages of this utility model more apparent and understandable, the utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-6 This utility model discloses a controllable lens protection device for robot welding vision, including a base 1, a camera module 2 detachably connected to the center of the top surface of the base 1, and modular opening and closing shielding components for opening and closing shielding the camera module 2 on both sides; when closed, the modular opening and closing shielding components can effectively protect the lens of the camera module.

[0025] The modular opening and closing shielding assembly includes a base 31, a slide 4 is symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the base 31, and a baffle 3 is fixedly connected to the end of the slide 4 away from the base 31; the baffle 3 is moved by the slide 4.

[0026] The base 31 contains a control module for controlling the two sliding platforms 4 to move closer or further apart. The control module moves the two sliding platforms closer or further apart, and the sliding platforms move the baffles closer or further apart.

[0027] This utility model uses a control module to drive two sliding tables 4 to move closer or further apart, and the sliding tables 4 to drive the baffles 3 to move closer or further apart. When the two baffles 3 move closer and abut against each other, they can effectively shield the camera module. When the industrial robot is performing welding operations, it can effectively protect the lens of the camera module.

[0028] In a further optimized design, a fixing block 11 is slidably connected to the bottom surface of the base 31, and the bottom surface of the fixing block 11 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1. By moving the base 31 along the top surface of the fixing block 11, the distance between the two bases 31 can be effectively adjusted according to the position of the camera module lens.

[0029] In a further optimized design, a first sliding groove 12 is symmetrically provided on the top surface of the fixed block 11, and a first through groove 13 is provided between the two first sliding grooves 12. The first through groove 13 is provided on the fixed block 11.

[0030] A lead screw is rotatably connected inside the first slide groove 12, and a slider is threadedly connected to the lead screw. The slider is slidably connected to the first slide groove 12. One end of the slider extending out of the first slide groove 12 is fixedly connected to the base 31. A handwheel is driven to the other end of the lead screw extending out of the first slide groove 12. The handwheel drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the slider to move along the first slide groove 12, thereby adjusting the distance between the two bases 31.

[0031] In a further optimized design, a second sliding groove 32 is provided on the top surface of the base 31, and an arc groove 33 is provided in the middle part of the opposite side wall of the second sliding groove 32. The second sliding groove 32 is slidably connected to the slide table 4.

[0032] The two slides 4 move along the second slide groove 32, and the slides 4 drive the baffles 3 to move, so that the two baffles 3 can move closer to each other or further away from each other.

[0033] A further optimized design includes a control module comprising a servo motor 36, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the base 31 and slidably connected to the first through groove 13. By moving the servo motor 36 along the first through groove 13, the base 31 can effectively move along the first sliding groove 12.

[0034] In a further optimized design, the drive shaft of the servo motor 36 passes through the base 31 and extends into the second groove 32, with a connecting rod 34 at one end. The connecting rod 34 is slidably connected to the arc groove 33. The drive shaft of the servo motor 36 is centrally connected to the connecting rod 34, enabling the servo motor 36 to stably drive the connecting rod 34 to rotate along the arc groove 33.

[0035] The design is further optimized so that the center of the connecting rod 34 is connected to the drive shaft of the servo motor 36. This allows the servo motor 36 to effectively drive the connecting rod 34 to rotate along the central axis of the drive shaft of the servo motor 36.

[0036] In a further optimized design, transmission rods 35 are rotatably connected to both ends of the connecting rod 34. The end of the transmission rod 35 furthest from the connecting rod 34 is rotatably connected to the slide table 4. The connecting rod 34 drives the two transmission rods 35 to move along the second slide groove 32, thereby causing the two slide tables 4 to move closer or further apart.

[0037] Working process: First, the camera module is installed on the base 1 with bolts. Then, the distance between the two bases 31 is adjusted according to the position of the camera module lens. When the industrial robot is performing welding operations, the servo motor 36 is turned on to drive the connecting rod 34 to rotate along the central axis of the servo motor 36 transmission shaft. The connecting rod 34 drives the two transmission rods 35 to move along the second slide groove 32. The two transmission rods 35 drive the two slides 4 to move closer to each other. The slides 4 drive the baffles 3 to move, so that the two baffles 3 can move closer to each other. When the two baffles 3 abut, they can effectively block the lens of the camera module, so that the baffles 3 can protect the lens of the camera module.
