Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of welding fixture technology, and in particular to an integrated welding fixture for hole cleaning and welding. Background Technology

[0002] A jig is a type of mold, referring to scaffolding that primarily bears loads. It is a specialized piece of equipment used to facilitate the assembly and welding of mechanical equipment. It is widely used in formwork engineering, steel structure installation engineering, and bridge engineering. Unlike commonly used double-row scaffolding, jigs vary greatly in design due to differences in their supporting structural forms and weights. Different equipment and different processes result in different jig forms.

[0003] In terms of space utilization, setting up welding equipment and cleaning devices separately not only requires additional ground space to house these devices, but also requires sufficient passage space for operators and material flow. Moreover, after each welding is completed, the workpiece needs to be moved from the welding area to the cleaning area. This process includes steps such as handling, positioning, and possible re-fixing, each of which consumes a considerable amount of time.

[0004] Therefore, in the above-mentioned automobile manufacturing production line, if welding and waste removal operations are performed separately, not only will the equipment occupy a large space, but the transfer of workpieces between different processes will also consume time. A welding fixture that integrates hole cleaning and welding can be designed. By integrating the two, waste can be removed immediately after welding, reducing production cycle time and improving overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the disadvantages of separate welding and waste removal operations in automobile manufacturing production lines, which not only require large equipment space but also consume time when changing workpieces between different processes, this application provides an integrated welding fixture for hole cleaning and welding.

[0006] The technical solution is as follows: An integrated welding fixture for hole cleaning and welding includes a mounting plate, a protective cover, a support plate, a connecting plate, a support column, a tilting cylinder, a robotic arm, an extension rod, and an air nozzle; two sets of support plates are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper surface of the mounting plate, a connecting plate is installed at the center of the surface of the support plate, a support column is obliquely installed on the outer side of the connecting plate, a tilting cylinder for providing power is installed at the center of the top of the support column, a robotic arm for multi-angle adjustment of the cleaning device is installed at the top of the tilting cylinder, an extension rod for providing more angles for the air nozzle to clean is installed at the top of the robotic arm, an air nozzle for immediately cleaning waste after welding is installed at the piston end of the extension rod, and a protective cover is installed around the outer side of the mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, sound-absorbing cotton is installed between the two sets of support plates and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate. A bracket is installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate near the edge line. A placement plate is installed on the upper end of the support plate, and a fixed frame is fixedly connected to the upper end of the placement plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a fixing plate is fixedly connected to the center of the side of the support plate away from the connecting plate, a first support frame is installed on the upper end of the fixing plate, and a second support frame is installed on the upper end of the connecting plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a third support frame is installed near the edge of the placement plate, and movable plates are vertically installed on both sides of the front end of the third support frame. A fourth support frame is installed on the upper surface of the placement plate above the fixed plate.

[0010] Furthermore, electric telescopic rods are installed in the cavities of the first, second, third, and fourth support frames. A welding module is installed at the piston end of the electric telescopic rod, and a welding head is installed at the output end of the welding module.

[0011] Furthermore, a first fixing bracket is installed on the side surface of the fixing frame, and a second fixing bracket is installed on the inner side of the fixing frame near the corner.

[0012] Furthermore, a rotary cylinder is installed in the cavity of both the first and second fixed frames, and a positioning plate is installed at the output end of the rotary cylinder.

[0013] The beneficial effects are twofold: First, in terms of space utilization, it integrates welding and cleaning functions, reducing the space occupied by the equipment and making the production line layout more compact and efficient. Second, in terms of efficiency, since waste can be cleaned directly in the same workstation after welding, there is no need to transport the workpiece to a dedicated cleaning area. This significantly shortens the time between processes and improves production efficiency. At the same time, by integrating air nozzles at the end of the robotic arm and using extension rods to achieve multi-angle cleaning, it ensures the comprehensiveness and thoroughness of the cleaning work, which helps to improve welding quality. The application of sound-absorbing cotton effectively reduces working noise, improves the operating environment, and protects the health of workers. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] Example 1

[0022] like Figure 1 - Figure 3 As shown, an integrated welding fixture for hole cleaning and welding includes a mounting plate 1, a protective cover 2, a support plate 3, a connecting plate 4, a support column 5, a tilting cylinder 6, a robotic arm 7, an extension rod 8, and an air nozzle 9. Two sets of support plates 3 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the upper surface of the mounting plate 1. A connecting plate 4 is installed at the center of the surface of the support plate 3. A support column 5 is obliquely installed on the outer side of the connecting plate 4. A tilting cylinder 6 for providing power is installed at the center of the top of the support column 5. A robotic arm 7 for multi-angle adjustment of the cleaning device is installed at the top of the tilting cylinder 6. An extension rod 8 for providing more angles for cleaning the air nozzle 9 is installed at the top of the robotic arm 7. An air nozzle 9 for immediately cleaning waste after welding is installed at the piston end of the extension rod 8. A protective cover 2 is installed around the outer side of the mounting plate 1.

[0023] Sound-absorbing cotton 10 is installed between the two sets of support plates 3 and is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 1. A bracket 14 is installed on the upper surface of the mounting plate 1 near the edge. A placement plate 15 is installed on the upper end of the support plate 3, and a fixing frame 19 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the placement plate 15.

[0024] A fixing plate 11 is fixedly connected to the center of the side of the support plate 3 away from the connecting plate 4. A first support frame 12 is installed on the upper end of the fixing plate 11, and a second support frame 13 is installed on the upper end of the connecting plate 4. This enhances the stability and rigidity of the overall structure and ensures the stability of the equipment during operation.

[0025] A third support frame 16 is installed near the edge of the placement plate 15. Movable plates 17 are vertically installed on both sides of the front end of the third support frame 16. A fourth support frame 18 is installed on the upper surface of the placement plate 15 above the fixed plate 11 to provide additional support and fixing points.

[0026] In use, the mounting plate 1 serves as the foundation of the entire device. Two sets of support plates 3 are symmetrically installed on both sides of its upper surface, providing a solid foundation for the equipment. A connecting plate 4 is installed at the center of the surface of the support plate 3, and a support column 5 is installed obliquely on the outside of the connecting plate 4. A tilting cylinder 6 is installed at the center of the top of the support column 5. This cylinder provides power support for the robotic arm 7, enabling the robotic arm 7 to be adjusted at multiple angles to adapt to different cleaning needs. The top of the robotic arm 7 is connected to the air nozzle 9 through the extension rod 8, allowing the air nozzle 9 to move within a wider range of angles, so as to clean up the generated waste from different angles immediately after welding. The protective cover 2 is installed around the outside of the mounting plate 1, which not only protects the internal components from external pollution or influence, but may also play a role in sound insulation.

[0027] Example 2

[0028] Based on Example 1, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, it also includes: electric telescopic rods 24 installed in the cavities of the first support frame 12, the second support frame 13, the third support frame 16 and the fourth support frame 18; welding modules 25 installed at the piston end of the electric telescopic rods 24; welding heads 26 installed at the output end of the welding modules 25; each welding unit contains one welding head; when the product material contains glass fiber, a steel welding head is used; when it does not contain glass fiber, a titanium alloy welding head is used.

[0029] A first fixing bracket 20 is installed on the side surface of the fixing frame 19, and a second fixing bracket 21 is installed on the inner side of the fixing frame 19 near the corner. The first fixing bracket 20 and the second fixing bracket 21 provide additional support points, which helps to disperse the stress generated during the welding process and further ensure the welding quality and the stability of the finished product.

[0030] Rotary cylinders 22 are installed in the cavities of both the first fixed frame 20 and the second fixed frame 21. A fixed plate 11 is installed at the output end of the rotary cylinder 22. The positioning is effective through multiple sets of adjustable clamping structures.

[0031] In use, the electric telescopic rod 24 in the cavity of the first support frame 12, the second support frame 13, the third support frame 16 and the fourth support frame 18 can be flexibly adjusted in position according to welding requirements. The welding module 25 connected to its piston end is equipped with a welding head 26 for performing specific welding tasks. The first fixed frame 20 extending from the side surface of the fixed frame 19 and the second fixed frame 21 near the corner on the inner side not only provide additional support points, but also help to disperse the stress generated during the welding process. The positioning plate 23 connected to the output end of the rotary cylinder 22 can press the product in the Z direction.
