Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser welding processing, and in particular to a panel welding machine. Background Technology

[0002] Traditional sink production primarily involves forming metal sheets using molds. This method results in sinks with thin walls, lower production costs, and faster production speeds. Higher-end sinks, however, require welding multiple metal sheets together. This method demands higher labor costs and skilled workers to ensure minimal error in each welded component, thus guaranteeing a high yield rate during final assembly.

[0003] With the improvement of China's economic level, declining birth rate, and other factors, it has become relatively difficult to find highly skilled workers with sufficient work experience, and the labor cost is relatively high. This has led to an increasing demand for automation in the processing and production of sinks. Sinks are constructed from multiple welded structures. Besides the sink body, the panel on top for mounting is also crucial. It is actually made up of four L-shaped connectors of the same size welded together. If automated panel welding machines can be used to process the sink panels, the yield rate can be improved while reducing the skill requirements of workers. This results in improved production quality and lower production costs, bringing greater economic benefits to users. Utility Model Content

[0004] The main purpose of this utility model is to provide a panel welding machine with a simple structure that can improve production quality while reducing production costs, thus bringing higher economic benefits to users.

[0005] This utility model proposes a panel welding machine, including a frame, a laser welding mechanism and a limiting fixture. The laser welding mechanism and the limiting fixture are both arranged on the top of the frame and the limiting fixture is arranged on the front side of the laser welding mechanism.

[0006] The limiting fixture includes a base, an L-shaped limiting groove on the top of the base, a first limiting mechanism, a second limiting mechanism, and a positioning mechanism on the side of the limiting groove. A connecting member is disposed in the limiting groove and is pushed to a suitable position by the first limiting mechanism and the second limiting mechanism, then positioned by the positioning mechanism, and finally connected to adjacent connecting members by the laser welding mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the top of the base is provided with a first limiting plate and a second limiting plate, the first limiting mechanism includes a first limiting cylinder and a first pushing plate provided in front of the first limiting cylinder, and a first limiting groove is formed between the first pushing plate and the first limiting plate;

[0008] The second limiting mechanism includes a second limiting cylinder and a second push plate disposed on the front side of the second limiting cylinder, and a second limiting groove is formed between the second push plate and the second limiting plate;

[0009] The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are combined to form an L-shaped limiting.

[0010] Preferably, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning cylinder and a Z-shaped positioning plate. The positioning cylinder drives the positioning plate to move up and down, thereby pressing the connecting piece down.

[0011] Preferably, the laser welding mechanism includes a welding mechanism body, an X-axis motion mechanism, a Y-axis motion mechanism, and a Z-axis motion mechanism;

[0012] The X-axis motion mechanism is mounted on the frame and fixedly connected to the frame.

The Y-axis motion mechanism is mounted on the Z-axis motion mechanism and can move along the Z-axis via the Z-axis motion mechanism. The welding mechanism body is mounted on the Y-axis motion mechanism and can move along the Y-axis via the Z-axis motion mechanism.

[0020] The realization of the purpose, functional features and advantages of this utility model will be further explained in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. Detailed Implementation

[0021] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0022] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the panel welding machine of this utility model is presented:

[0023] A panel welding machine includes a frame 1, a laser welding mechanism 2, a control panel 5, an electrical box 4, and a limit fixture 3.

[0024] The laser welding mechanism 2 includes a welding mechanism body 24, an X-axis motion mechanism 21, a Y-axis motion mechanism 23, and a Z-axis motion mechanism 22. The X-axis motion mechanism 21 is mounted on the frame 1 and fixedly connected to the frame 1. The Z-axis motion mechanism 22 is mounted on the X-axis motion mechanism 21 and can move along the X-axis via the X-axis motion mechanism 21. The Y-axis motion mechanism 23 is mounted on the Z-axis motion mechanism 22 and can move along the Z-axis via the Z-axis motion mechanism 22. The welding mechanism body 24 is mounted on the Y-axis motion mechanism 23 and can move along the Y-axis via the Y-axis motion mechanism 23.

[0025] There are four limiting clamps 3, located at the four corners of a rectangle. Each limiting clamp 3 includes a base 31, a first limiting plate 34, a second limiting plate 35, a first limiting mechanism 32, a second limiting mechanism 33, and a positioning mechanism 36. The first limiting mechanism 32 includes a first limiting cylinder 321 and a first push plate 322 located in front of the first limiting cylinder 321. A strip-shaped first limiting groove is formed between the first push plate 322 and the first limiting plate 34. The second limiting mechanism 33 includes a second limiting cylinder 331 and a second push plate 332 located in front of the second limiting cylinder 331. A strip-shaped second limiting groove is formed between the second push plate 332 and the second limiting plate 35. The first limiting groove and the second limiting groove are combined to form an L-shaped limiting groove.

[0026] The inner diameter of the limiting groove is larger than the width of the L-shaped connector, thus meeting the requirements of connectors of different sizes. The connector is pushed to the appropriate position by the first limiting mechanism 32 and the second limiting mechanism 33, thereby limiting the connector by the cooperation of the first pushing plate 322 and the first limiting plate 34, and the cooperation of the second pushing plate 332 and the second limiting plate 35.

[0027] The positioning mechanism 36 includes a positioning cylinder 361 and a Z-shaped positioning plate 362. The positioning cylinder 361 drives the positioning plate 362 to move up and down, thereby pressing the connecting piece down.

[0028] The electrical box 4 is installed inside the frame 1, and the control panel 5 is installed on the frame 1. The laser welding mechanism 2 is connected to the control panel 5 through the electrical box 4. The control panel 5 can control the working status of the laser welding mechanism 2 through the electrical box 4.

[0029] In use, the operator only needs to place the four connectors into the appropriate positions on the limiting fixture 3, and push the connectors to the appropriate positions through the first limiting mechanism 32 and the second limiting mechanism 33. Then, the positioning mechanism 36 positions them, and finally, the laser welding mechanism 2 connects adjacent connectors.

[0030] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
