The appearance of the phrase "embodiment" in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a welding device for a coal mill shell, including a workbench 1 and an industrial robot 2. The industrial robot 2 is mounted on the workbench 1 and a welding gun 21 is installed on its end effector. A connecting column 3 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1. A turntable 4 is provided on the top of the connecting column 3. The turntable 4 is provided with a limiting groove for limiting the protrusion 72 on the shell 7.

[0022] It should be noted that the bottom of the workbench 1 is provided with a drive assembly 5 for rotating the turntable 4. The drive assembly 5 includes a drive motor 51, a first gear 52 and a second gear 53. The drive motor 51 is mounted on the bottom of the workbench 1 and a first gear 52 is mounted on its output shaft. The first gear 52 meshes with the second gear 53 on the connecting column 3.

[0023] In addition, the top of the workbench 1 is provided with a positioning component 6 for positioning the reinforcing plate 71 on the housing 7. The positioning component 6 includes an elbow clamp 61, a support frame 62, a cylinder 63, and a limiting cylinder 65. The elbow clamp 61 is located on the turntable 4 and is used to clamp the housing 7. The inverted "L"-shaped support frame 62 is located on the workbench 1 and a cylinder 63 is mounted on it. The limiting cylinder 65 is slidably connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 63. A baffle 64 is provided at the lower end of the piston rod of the cylinder 63. A ball bearing 641 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the baffle 64. A baffle 651 is provided inside the limiting cylinder 65 below the ball bearing 641. The ball bearing 641 presses against the baffle 651, which does not obstruct the rotation of the turntable 4 and the housing 7 under the action of the drive component 5, so that the welding torch 21 can weld the reinforcing plate 71 in other parts.

[0024] In addition, a number of fan-shaped positioning blocks 66 are evenly distributed along the lower circumference of the limiting cylinder 65. The side of the positioning block 66 is provided with an elastic clamping piece 67. The height of the positioning block 66 is the same as the height of the highest point of the reinforcing plate 71 on the housing 7, so as to position the reinforcing plate 71 and prevent the reinforcing plate 71 from being offset.

[0025] Detailed implementation methods and principles:

[0026] The protrusion 72 at the bottom of the shell 7 to be processed is inserted into the limiting groove on the turntable 4 for limiting. Then, the shell 7 is fixed by the elbow clamp 61. Then, the piston rod of the control cylinder 63 drives the limiting cylinder 65 to move down, so that the limiting cylinder 65 is sleeved on the cylinder 73 of the shell 7. The positioning block 66 on the limiting cylinder 65 is located on the shell 7. The piston rod of the cylinder 63 continues to move down, so that the ball 641 on the baffle 64 hits the baffle 651 inside the limiting cylinder 65.

[0027] Next, the reinforcing plate 71 to be welded is inserted into the gap between the two positioning blocks 66, and the inner end of the reinforcing plate 71 is pushed to contact the outer side of the cylinder 73 of the housing 7. The elastic clips 67 on the side of the positioning blocks 66 clamp and fix the reinforcing plate 71.

[0028] After all the reinforcing plates 71 have been placed, the welding gun 21 on the industrial robot 2 performs preliminary welding on the part of the reinforcing plate 71 located outside the positioning block 66, and drives the gear 52 and gear 53 to rotate through the output shaft of the drive motor 51, so that the housing 7 on the turntable 4 rotates, making it easier for the welding gun 21 to perform welding.

[0029] When each reinforcing plate 71 is initially welded onto the housing 7, the baffle 64 on the piston rod of the control cylinder 63 drives the limiting cylinder 65 to move upward, causing the positioning block 66 on the limiting cylinder 65 to disengage from the reinforcing plate 71.

[0030] Next, the welding torch 21 on the industrial robot 2 continues to weld the reinforcing plate 71 completely onto the housing 7.

[0031] The embodiments of this utility model described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of this utility model.
