Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of welding torch equipment, specifically an automatic tilting and feeding mechanism for a welding torch. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, welding is an important processing technology widely used in many fields such as machinery manufacturing, automobile manufacturing, and aerospace. The welding torch, as the core tool in welding operations, directly affects welding quality and production efficiency through its precision and degree of automation.

[0003] Currently, some welding torch feed and angle adjustment equipment still employs manual operation or simple mechanical structures. Manual operation is not only inefficient but also makes it difficult to ensure consistency in the torch position and angle for each weld, resulting in unstable weld quality and failing to meet the precision and efficiency requirements of large-scale industrial production. While some existing automated welding torch equipment can achieve a certain degree of feed, it lacks the ability to automatically tilt and feed, making it difficult to flexibly adapt to different welding positions and angles, thus limiting its application in complex welding scenarios.

[0004] Furthermore, welding generates a large amount of fumes and harmful gases, which not only seriously endanger the health of operators but also impair visibility and reduce welding quality. However, existing welding torch equipment often lacks effective fume extraction devices, or the devices are not coordinated with the movement of the welding torch, failing to effectively remove fumes when the torch is in different positions and angles.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] 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.

[0026] Example: This utility model provides a technical solution for an automatic tilting feed mechanism for welding torches, such as... Figures 1-5 As shown, the device includes a mounting plate 100. A translational feeding assembly 200 is provided on the top surface of the mounting plate 100. The top of the translational feeding assembly 200 is a translational structure. A lifting feeding assembly 300 is provided on the top surface of the translational structure of the translational feeding assembly 200. One side of the lifting feeding assembly 300 is a lifting structure. A tilting suction assembly 500 is fixed to the side wall of the lifting structure of the lifting feeding assembly 300. One side of the tilting suction assembly 500 is a rotating structure. A welding torch 400 is fixed to the rotating structure side of the tilting suction assembly 500.

[0027] The suction assembly 500 includes a support frame 510, which has an L-shaped structure. The vertical section of the support frame 510 is fixed to the side wall of the lifting structure of the lifting feed assembly 300. A third motor 520 is fixed to the top surface of the horizontal section of the support frame 510. A first gear 530 is connected to the rotating end of the third motor 520. A second gear 540 is meshed with one side of the first gear 530. A rotating shaft 550 is fixed to the side wall of the second gear 540. One end of the rotating shaft 550 is connected through the lifting structure of the lifting feed assembly 300. A flipping frame 560 is fixed to one end of the rotating shaft 550. A welding torch 400 is fixed to the side wall of the flipping frame 560.

[0028] The horizontal translation is achieved by the translational feeding component 200, and the vertical lifting feeding component 300 achieves vertical lifting, allowing the welding torch 400 to approach the welding position. The rotating structure of the tilting and suction component 500 can adjust the welding angle of the welding torch 400, and it works in conjunction with the lifting and feeding component 300 to flexibly adjust the position and angle of the welding torch 400. The third motor 520 of the tilting and suction component 500 drives the first gear 530, which meshes with the second gear 540 to drive the rotating shaft 550 and the tilting frame 560 to rotate, thereby driving the welding torch 400 to rotate and achieve angle adjustment.

[0029] Furthermore, the suction assembly 500 also includes a suction filter component 570, one side of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second gear 540, and the suction filter component 570 is arranged parallel to the welding direction of the welding torch 400.

[0030] The suction filter component 570 is arranged parallel to the welding direction of the welding torch 400 and is fixedly connected to the side wall of the second gear 540. When the angle of the welding torch 400 is adjusted, the suction filter component 570 can adjust its position synchronously, always maintaining a suitable position to extract fumes. Its structural design ensures that the suction filter component 570 can work effectively when the welding torch 400 is performing welding operations at various positions and angles, ensuring a clean welding environment.

[0031] Furthermore, the suction and filtration component 570 includes a connecting plate 571 fixedly connected to the side wall of the second gear 540. An air pump 572 is fixed to the outer wall of the connecting plate 571. A filter cylinder 574 is fixed to the side of the connecting plate 571 away from the second gear 540. An end cap 575 is sleeved on one end of the filter cylinder 574. An air extraction pipe 576 is connected through one side of the end cap 575. A flat suction bucket 577 is connected through the side wall of the air extraction pipe 576. A conduit 573 is connected through the end of the filter cylinder 574 away from the end cap 575 and the end of the air pump 572.

[0032] Connecting plate 571 connects the second gear 540 and components such as the air pump 572, providing the mounting base for the entire suction and filtration assembly 570. The air pump 572 provides suction power, the filter cartridge 574 is used to filter fumes, and the end cap 575, the suction pipe 576, and the flat suction cup 577 work together to ensure that fumes are smoothly drawn into the filter cartridge 574 for filtration. The flat suction cup 577 can be closer to the welding position to effectively extract fumes. After being filtered by the filter cartridge 574, the purified air is discharged, thereby achieving the effect of purifying the welding environment. Furthermore, the connection and arrangement of each component ensures that the suction and filtration assembly 570 can operate stably and efficiently during the operation of the welding torch 400.

[0033] Furthermore, the translational feeding assembly 200 includes two first support plates 230 fixed to the top surface of the mounting plate 100, a first slide rail 210 fixed between the side walls of the two first support plates 230, a first motor 240 provided on the outer wall of the first support plate 230, a first screw 250 connected to the rotating end of the first motor 240, a first slider 220 threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the first screw 250, the first slider 220 slidably connected to the top surface of the first slide rail 210, a support plate 260 fixed on the top surface of the first slider 220, and a lifting feeding assembly 300 fixed on the top surface of the support plate 260.

[0034] The first support plate 230 is fixed on the mounting plate 100, providing support for components such as the first slide rail 210 and the first motor 240. The first motor 240 drives the first screw 250 to rotate, causing the first slider 220 to slide on the first slide rail 210, thereby driving the support plate 260 and the lifting and feeding assembly 300 above it to move horizontally. This structural design can stably achieve horizontal translation, and by controlling the rotation of the first motor 240, the translation distance can be precisely adjusted to ensure that the welding torch 400 can accurately reach the welding position in the horizontal direction, improving the welding accuracy.

[0035] Furthermore, the lifting and feeding assembly 300 includes a first fixing plate 310 fixed to the top surface of the support plate 260, a second slide rail 320 fixed to the top surface of the first fixing plate 310, a second support plate 330 fixed to the top surface of the second slide rail 320, a second motor 340 provided on the top surface of the second support plate 330, a second screw 350 connected to the rotating end of the second motor 340, a second slider 360 threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the second screw 350, the second slider 360 slidably connected to the side wall of the second slide rail 320, a second fixing plate 370 fixed to the side wall of the second slider 360, a support frame 510 fixed to the side wall of the second slider 360, and a rotating shaft 550 penetratingly connected inside the second fixing plate 370.

[0036] The first fixing plate 310 is fixed on the support plate 260, providing an installation base for components such as the second slide rail 320 and the second support plate 330. The second motor 340 drives the second screw 350 to rotate, causing the second slider 360 to slide on the second slide rail 320, thereby raising and lowering the second fixing plate 370 and the connected tilting and suction assembly 500 and welding torch 400 as a whole. This structure, in conjunction with the translational feeding assembly 200 and the tilting and suction assembly 500, can realize the position and angle adjustment of the welding torch 400 in three-dimensional space. The components work together to meet the precise requirements of the position and angle of the welding torch 400 in different welding scenarios.

[0037] Furthermore, the suction assembly 500 also includes an inclined fixing component 580, which is connected through the support frame 510. One side of the inclined fixing component 580 is meshed with the first gear 530, and the bottom surface of the inclined fixing component 580 is attached to the top surface of the first fixing plate 310.

[0038] The inclined fixing component 580 is connected inside the support frame 510 and meshes with the first gear 530. Its bottom surface is attached to the top surface of the first fixing plate 310. When the welding torch 400 adjusts its angle, the first gear 530 drives the inclined fixing component 580 to move. After adjusting to a suitable angle, the inclined fixing component 580 can position and fix the tilt angle of the welding torch 400, ensuring that the welding torch 400 can maintain the set tilt angle even if it is affected by external forces or vibrations during the welding process, thereby improving the stability and quality of the welding.

[0039] Furthermore, the inclined fixing component 580 includes a toothed plate 581 that penetrates and connects inside the support frame 510. One side of the toothed plate 581 is meshed with the second gear 540. A sleeve 582 is sleeved on the outer wall of the toothed plate 581. A positioning bolt 583 is penetrated and connected to the outer wall of the sleeve 582. One end of the positioning bolt 583 is attached to the side wall of the toothed plate 581. A positioning frame 584 is fixed on the side wall of the sleeve 582. Two positioning frames 584 are arranged mirror images of the vertical center line of the sleeve 582. A pad 585 is fixed on the bottom surface of the positioning frame 584. The bottom surface of the pad 585 is attached to the top surface of the first fixing plate 310.

[0040] The toothed plate 581 meshes with the second gear 540. When the first gear 530 drives the second gear 540 to rotate and adjust the angle of the welding torch 400, the toothed plate 581 moves accordingly. The sleeve 582 is used to install the toothed plate 581. The positioning bolt 583 can fix the relative position of the toothed plate 581 and the sleeve 582. The positioning frame 584 and the pad 585 are set on the sleeve 582. The bottom surface of the pad 585 is attached to the top surface of the first fixing plate 310. By adjusting and fixing the position of the toothed plate 581 in the sleeve 582, the tilt angle of the welding torch 400 can be precisely controlled. The contact between the pad 585 and the first fixing plate 310 increases the stability of the positioning, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the tilt angle of the welding torch 400 during the welding process.

[0041] Specifically, the first motor 240 is started to drive the first screw 250 to rotate, and the first slider 220 moves horizontally on the first slide rail 210, moving the lifting feed assembly 300 and the welding torch 400 horizontally closer to the welding position. Simultaneously, the second motor 340 is started to drive the second screw 350 to rotate, and the second slider 360 and the second fixed plate 370 drive the tilting and suction assembly 500 and the welding torch 400 to rise and fall as a whole, moving vertically closer to the welding position, so that the welding end of the welding torch 400 is close to the welding position. Then, the third motor 520 is started to drive the first gear 530 to rotate, and the first gear 530 meshes with the second gear 540 for transmission. The rotating shaft 550 drives the tilting frame 560 to tilt, adjusting the welding angle of the welding torch 400. The adjustment operation is simple and flexible, ensuring the accuracy of the welding position.

[0042] At the same time, the second gear 540 drives the connecting plate 571 to rotate and tilt synchronously with the welding torch 400, so that the exhaust pipe 576 rotates synchronously and stays at the top of the welding position of the welding torch 400. The other side of the first gear 530 meshes and drives the toothed plate 581 to descend. The pad 585 is in contact with the top surface of the first fixing plate 310. At the same time, the toothed plate 581 slides relative to each other and inside the sleeve 582 until the welding torch 400 reaches the welding tilt position. At this time, the positioning bolt 583 is rotated to fix the toothed plate 581 and the sleeve 582 together.

[0043] Then, the welding torch 400 is started to weld the workpiece, and the air pump 572 is started at the same time to remove the fumes generated during welding through the conduit 573, filter cartridge 574, air extraction pipe 576 and flat suction bucket 577. The filter cartridge 574 is filled with cotton core to filter the fumes. After welding one workpiece, the third motor 520 is started to flip the welding torch 400 up to facilitate the placement of the next workpiece to be processed. Then the third motor 520 is started again to flip the welding torch 400 down, so that the pad 585 descends and fits against the top surface of the first fixed plate 310, thereby ensuring that the welding torch 400 has the same tilt angle as the previous welding. The positioning operation is simple and ensures the accuracy of welding multiple identical workpieces.

[0044] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
