Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of metal parts processing, and in particular to a robotic welding workstation for cement mixing tanks. Background Technology
[0002] Cement is a powdered hydraulic inorganic binder that, when mixed with water, forms a paste that hardens in air or water, and effectively binds materials such as sand and gravel together. Cement concrete, made by mixing cement as a binder with sand and gravel as aggregates in a specific ratio, is widely used in numerous fields, including building construction, road construction, and water conservancy projects. These projects require large quantities of stable and reliable cement concrete to meet diverse construction needs.
[0003] Currently, cement mixing tanks are typically manufactured by operators who manually weld them using a welding torch. However, due to the large size of the cement mixing tanks, operators need to climb onto the tank body and use the welding torch to weld, which results in a large workload for welding cement mixing tanks and increases the workload for operators. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a robotic welding workstation for cement mixing tanks.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A welding workstation for a cement mixing tank robot includes a workbench with a first groove machined on its surface. The first groove is slidably connected to a slider. The upper surface of the slider is fixedly connected to an electric telescopic rod. The end of the electric telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a flat plate. The surface of the slider is threadedly connected to a fixing bolt. The end of the fixing bolt abuts against the workbench. The first groove is annular in shape.
[0007] Preferably, the surface of the plate is rotatably connected to the threaded rod via a bearing, the end of the threaded rod is fixedly connected to a knob, and one end of the threaded rod passes through the plate.
[0008] Preferably, the outer wall of the threaded rod is threadedly connected to the lower end of the storage tank, and the surface of the plate is machined with a second sliding groove, which is slidably connected to the storage tank, and the storage tank moves through the plate via the second sliding groove.
[0009] Preferably, a three-jaw chuck is installed on the upper surface of the worktable, and the surface of the three-jaw chuck is machined with three third sliding grooves, which are slidably connected to the corresponding jaws.
[0010] Preferably, the three claws are in contact with the corresponding cylinders, and the inner walls of the three cylinders are in contact with the pads. The pads are cylindrical in shape and have three vertical grooves machined on their surfaces.
[0011] Preferably, the lower end of the workbench is fixedly connected to multiple supports, and the lower ends of the multiple supports are in contact with the ground.
[0012] Preferably, a welding torch head is installed on the surface of the storage tank.
[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0014] 1. By using a set workbench, first slide, slider, electric telescopic rod, fixing bolts, and plate, when welding is required on a cement mixing tank, the operator first removes the fixing bolts from the slider, then moves the slider. The slider moves the electric telescopic rod above, which in turn moves the plate. The plate then moves the storage tank above. Once the welding torch head on the surface of the storage tank is aligned with the position to be welded, the operator stops moving the slider and fixes its position with the fixing bolts, thus fixing the position of the welding torch head. Then, protective gas is injected into the storage tank, and the welding torch head is used to weld the cylinder fixed by the claws. This method eliminates the need for the operator to hold the welding torch while welding large cement mixing tanks, thus reducing the operator's workload.
[0015] 2. By using a set plate, threaded rod, knob, storage tank, and welding torch, when the diameter of the cylinder to be welded is large, the operator turns the knob, which drives the threaded rod to rotate. The threaded rod then moves the storage tank along the second slide, which in turn moves the welding torch. Once the welding torch is in the appropriate position to weld the cylinder, the operator stops turning the knob. This method allows the welding torch to be moved to the appropriate position to weld the cylinder, thus improving the welding efficiency of the cement mixing tank. Attached Figure Description

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0023] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 5 A welding workstation for a cement mixing tank robot includes a workbench 1. The surface of the workbench 1 is machined with a first groove 7, which divides the workbench 1 into a circular part and an annular part. The first groove 7 is slidably connected to a slider 8, which moves within the first groove 7. The upper surface of the slider 8 is fixedly connected to an electric telescopic rod 9. The model of the electric telescopic rod 9 is selected according to actual needs, and only needs to meet the work requirements are selected. The end of the electric telescopic rod 9 is fixedly connected to a plate 10, which drives the plate 10 to move. The surface of the slider 8 is threadedly connected to a fixing bolt 13, which can fix the position of the slider 8. The end of the fixing bolt 13 abuts against the workbench 1. The first groove 7 is annular in shape. When welding is required on a cement mixing tank, the operator first removes the fixing bolt 13 from the slider 8, then moves the slider 8. The slider 8 moves the electric telescopic rod 9 above, which in turn moves the plate 10. The plate 10 then moves the storage tank 14 above. Once the welding torch head 15 on the surface of the storage tank 14 is aligned with the position to be welded, the operator stops moving the slider 8 and fixes its position with the fixing bolt 13, thereby fixing the position of the welding torch head 15. Then, protective gas is injected into the storage tank 14, and the cylinder 4 fixed by the claw 6 is welded using the welding torch head 15. This method eliminates the need for the operator to hold the welding torch while welding large cement mixing tanks, thus reducing the operator's workload.
[0024] In this embodiment, the surface of the plate 10 is rotatably connected to the threaded rod 11 via a bearing. The threaded rod 11 rotates on the plate 10, and its end is fixedly connected to the knob 12. The knob 12 drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate. One end of the threaded rod 11 passes through the plate 10, and the outer wall of the threaded rod 11 is threadedly connected to the lower end of the storage tank 14. When the threaded rod 11 rotates, it can drive the storage tank 14 to move. The surface of the plate 10 is machined with a second sliding groove 16, which is slidably connected to the storage tank 14. The storage tank 14 slides within the second sliding groove 16 and moves through the plate 10 via the second sliding groove 16. A three-jaw chuck 3 is mounted on the upper surface of the workbench 1. The surface of the three-jaw chuck 3 is machined with three third sliding grooves 17, which are respectively connected to the corresponding jaws. The claws 6 are slidably connected and slide within the third slide groove 17. The three claws 6 respectively contact the corresponding cylinder 4, clamping the cylinder 4. The three-jaw chuck 3, the claws 6, and the third slide groove 17 are all existing technologies. The square hole on the surface of the three-jaw chuck 3 is rotated by an external device, which in turn rotates the internal planar thread, so that the three claws 6 move simultaneously to clamp the cylinder 4. The inner walls of the three cylinders 4 are in contact with the pads 5. The pads 5 prevent the cylinders 4 from being damaged by the claws 6. The pads 5 are cylindrical in shape and have three vertical grooves machined on their surface. The lower end of the worktable 1 is fixedly connected to multiple supports 2, and the lower ends of the multiple supports 2 are in contact with the ground. The surface of the storage tank 14 is equipped with a welding gun head 15. The model of the welding gun head 15 is selected according to actual needs, and only needs to meet the working requirements are selected.
[0025] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: In use, the operator first places the cylinder 4 between the three-jaw chuck 3, then places the pad 5 between the three cylinders 4 to be welded. The operator then rotates the three-jaw chuck 3 using an external device, causing the three jaws 6 to press against the cylinder 4. Afterward, the operator stops moving the jaws 6 and removes the fixing bolt 13 from the slider 8. The slider 8 is then moved along the first slide groove 7. The slider 8 moves the upper electric telescopic rod 9, which in turn moves the plate 10. The plate 10 then moves the upper storage tank 14. Once the welding torch head 15 on the surface of the storage tank 14 is aligned with the position to be welded, the operator stops moving the slider 8 and fixes its position with the fixing bolt 13, thus fixing the position of the welding torch head 15. Then, protective gas is injected into the storage tank 14, followed by... The welding torch 15 welds the cylinder 4 fixed by the claw 6. When the welding torch 15 needs to weld different positions on the cylinder 4, the external power supply of the electric telescopic rod 9 is turned on, and the electric telescopic rod 9 is started. The electric telescopic rod 9 drives the upper plate 10 to move. The plate 10 moves the welding torch 15 through the above transmission method, so that the welding torch 15 can weld different positions between the two cylinders 4. When the diameter of the cylinder 4 to be welded is large, the operator turns the knob 12. The knob 12 drives the threaded rod 11 to rotate. The threaded rod 11 drives the storage tank 14 to move along the second slide 16. The storage tank 14 drives the welding torch 15 to move. When the welding torch 15 moves to a suitable position so that the welding torch 15 can weld the welding point of the cylinder 4, the operator stops turning the knob 12 to complete the robotic welding work of the cement mixing tank.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
