Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding turntable technology, specifically relating to a welding workstation scheduling turntable. Background Technology
[0002] The welding workstation control turntable is a specialized piece of equipment used for butt welding of pipe fittings. It is mainly used to achieve precise positioning, synchronous rotation, and automated welding of pipe fittings. In fields such as pipeline engineering and pressure vessel manufacturing, it is often necessary to perform circumferential butt welding on two pipe fittings. This places high demands on the positioning accuracy and rotational stability of the welding equipment. Traditional welding methods often use manual assisted positioning or simple rotating devices, which are difficult to meet the modern needs of efficient and precise welding.
[0003] Existing equipment can typically only clamp a single pipe fitting. When welding two pipe fittings together, workers need to manually hold the other pipe fitting and rotate it to complete the welding. This method is not only labor-intensive and inefficient, but also makes it difficult to ensure the coaxiality and rotation synchronization of the two pipe fittings, which can easily lead to unstable weld quality. In addition, manual operation poses safety hazards, and the welding quality is overly dependent on the operator's skill level. Therefore, a welding workstation scheduling turntable is needed to address the shortcomings of the existing equipment. Utility Model Content

[0013] The technical effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0014] This utility model discloses a welding workstation scheduling turntable with a partitioned dual-station design, enabling simultaneous clamping and welding.

[0022] To make the purpose and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific implementations of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0023] like Figure 1As shown, a welding workstation scheduling turntable includes a base 1, a base plate 2 rotatably connected to the top of the base 1, and a partition 3 fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 2. Welding guns 4 are fixedly connected to both sides of the partition 3. Rotating components 5 are provided on both sides of the partition 3, and the rotating components 5 are movably connected to the base plate 2. A set of symmetrical clamping components 6 are movably connected to the rotating components 5 for clamping and positioning pipe fittings. A set of symmetrical guide rods 7 are provided on both sides of the partition 3, and the guide rods 7 are fixedly connected to the base plate 2. A support frame 8 is slidably connected to the base plate 2 through the guide rods 7, and the top of the support frame 8 is in contact with the outer side of the pipe fitting. In this embodiment, four support frames 8 are provided on one side of the partition 3. The support frames 8 can be freely adjusted on the base plate 2 along the guide rods 7, thereby supporting the pipe fittings and facilitating the workers to quickly place them on the base plate 2 for the clamping components 6 to quickly clamp them.
[0024] First, a motor is installed inside the base 1 to drive the base plate 2 to rotate. Welding clamping mechanisms are provided on both sides of the partition 3, so that when the workers align and fix the ends of the two pipes on one side of the partition 3, the welding clamping mechanism on the other side clamps the two pipes, which improves the welding efficiency of the turntable. The welding gun 4 is started to weld the connection of the two pipes, and the welding clamping mechanism can control the two pipes to rotate synchronously, thereby completing the complete welding of the connection of the two pipes. Thus, the above operations constitute a complete technical solution.
[0025] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the rotating assembly 5 includes a bracket 501, an external gear ring 502, a gear 503, a rotating ring 504, and a sleeve 505. The sleeve 505 passes through the gear 503 and is fixedly connected to the gear 503. The gear 503 is movably connected to the bracket 501 through the sleeve 505. The external gear ring 502 is fixedly connected to the outside of the rotating ring 504 and is movably connected to the inside of the bracket 501 through the rotating ring 504. The gear 503 meshes with the external gear ring 502. The rotating assembly 5 also includes a control rod 506, which is movably connected to the base plate 2 via a bearing. The control rod 506 passes through the sleeve 505 and is movably connected to the sleeve 505. The brackets 501 are slidably connected to the top of the base plate 2. The guide rod 7 passes through the bracket 501 and is movably connected to the bracket 501. A set of symmetrical servo motors 9 are fixedly connected to the outside of the base plate 2, and the output ends of the servo motors 9 are fixedly connected to the ends of the control rods 506 respectively.
[0026] When the ends of the two pipe fittings come into contact, the welding gun 4 is used to weld the connection. At the same time, the servo motor 9 is started, which drives the control rod 506 to rotate. Since the sleeve 505 and the control rod 506 are in motion with each other, the gear 503 rotates synchronously, which drives the external gear ring 502 to rotate inside the bracket 501. This controls the synchronous rotation of the rotating rings 504 inside the two brackets 501, realizing the synchronous rotation of the two pipe fittings. This automatically adjusts the posture of the pipe fitting connection, making it easier for the welding gun 4 to complete the welding of the entire connection.
[0027] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the clamping assembly 6 includes a drive disk 601, a guide disk 602, a slider 603, a drive post 604, and a clamping block 605. The drive disk 601 has several drive grooves 10, and the guide disk 602 has several guide grooves 11. Both the drive grooves 10 and guide grooves 11 are arranged in a circular array. A drive post 604 is movably connected inside each drive groove 10, and a slider 603 is movably connected inside each guide groove 11. The drive post 604 is fixedly connected to the slider 603. A clamping block 605 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 603 closest to the axis of the guide disk 602. A protective shell 12 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the bracket 501. The drive disk 601 rotates... The clamping assembly 6 also includes an internal gear ring 606, a second gear 607, and an adjusting column 608. The internal gear ring 606 is fixedly connected to one side of the drive disk 601. The second gear 607 is movably connected to the inside of the protective shell 12 via a rotating shaft, and the second gear 607 meshes with the internal gear ring 606. The adjusting column 608 is threadedly connected to the protective shell 12, and the front end of the adjusting column 608 is movably engaged with the rotating shaft of the second gear 607.
[0028] First, insert the pipe fitting through the ring hole of the bracket 501, loosen the pipe fitting, and the pipe fitting is supported by the support frame 8 to remain horizontal. By moving the bracket 501, it moves along the guide rod 7. At this time, the sleeve 505 moves along the guide rod 7, causing the clamping block 605 to move to the outside of the pipe fitting. Then, rotate the adjusting column 608. Since the front end of the adjusting column 608 is in movable engagement with the internal shaft of the gear 2 607, it drives the gear 2 607 to rotate. Since the adjusting column 608 is threadedly connected to the protective shell 12, it is convenient to control the rotation of the gear 2 607. The angle of gear 607 remains unchanged after it stops rotating. Gear 607 causes the internal gear ring 606 to rotate, thereby driving the internal gear ring 606 and the drive disk 601 to rotate synchronously. Since the drive groove 10 is in active engagement with the drive column 604, the guide groove 11 restricts the sliding mode of the slider 603. As the drive disk 601 rotates, the clamping blocks 605 move closer to each other until the pipe is clamped, so that the two pipes can be quickly kept axially aligned. Then, the ends of the two pipes can be put together by moving the bracket 501.
[0029] The working principle of this utility is as follows: When in use, firstly, a motor is installed inside the base 1 to drive the base plate 2 to rotate. Then, the operator inserts the pipe through the ring hole of the bracket 501, releases the pipe, and the pipe is supported by the support frame 8 to keep it horizontal. By moving the bracket 501, it moves along the guide rod 7. At this time, the sleeve 505 moves along the guide rod 7, so that the clamping block 605 moves to the outside of the pipe.
[0030] Next, the adjusting column 608 is rotated. Since the front end of the adjusting column 608 is in movable engagement with the shaft of the second gear 607, the second gear 607 is driven to rotate. Since the adjusting column 608 is threadedly connected to the protective shell 12, it is beneficial to control the rotation angle of the second gear 607 and the angle of the second gear 607 remains unchanged after the rotation stops. The second gear 607 causes the internal gear ring 606 to rotate, thereby driving the internal gear ring 606 and the drive disk 601 to rotate synchronously. Since the drive groove 10 is in movable engagement with the drive column 604, the guide groove 11 restricts the sliding mode of the slider 603. Thus, as the drive disk 601 rotates, the clamping blocks 605 move closer to each other until the pipe is clamped, so that the two pipes can quickly maintain axial alignment.
[0031] Then, the ends of the two pipe fittings can be brought together by moving the support 501. When the ends of the two pipe fittings abut each other, the welding gun 4 is used to weld the connection. At the same time, the servo motor 9 is started to drive the control rod 506 to rotate. Due to the movable cooperation between the sleeve 505 and the control rod 506, the gear 503 rotates synchronously, which drives the external gear ring 502 to rotate inside the support 501. This controls the synchronous rotation of the rotating rings 504 inside the two supports 501, realizing the synchronous rotation of the two pipe fittings. This automatically adjusts the posture of the pipe fitting connection, making it convenient for the welding gun 4 to complete the welding of the entire connection. While the pipe fittings are installed on one side of the partition 3, the welding process can be carried out on the other side of the partition 3.
[0032] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the art.
