Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding technology, and in particular to a waste discharge device and welding equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of some workpieces, it is necessary to weld spring clips onto the surface of the workpiece. After the spring clips are welded to the workpiece surface, some weld slag often forms at the interface between the spring clips and the workpiece. This weld slag remains at the interface between the spring clips and the workpiece. During subsequent use of the workpiece, this weld slag will gradually fall off due to the vibration of the workpiece, thus affecting the surrounding structure. However, for a period of time immediately after the spring clips are welded to the workpiece, the weld slag adheres firmly to the workpiece, and the weld slag is located between the workpiece and the spring clip, making it difficult for workers to clean the weld slag.

[0030] The following is for reference. Figures 1 to 4 A waste discharge device according to the first aspect of this utility model will be described in detail.

[0031] refer to Figures 1 to 3According to a first aspect of the present invention, a waste removal device includes a waste shaking module 100 and a pressing module 200. The waste shaking module 100 includes a positioning seat 110, a mounting frame 120, and a first drive assembly 130. The positioning seat 110 is used to position the product and is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 120 about a vertical axis. The first drive assembly 130 is mounted on the mounting frame 120 and connected to the positioning seat 110. The first drive assembly 130 is used to drive the positioning seat 110 to rotate about a vertical axis so that the positioning seat 110 can switch between a loading / unloading state and a waste shaking state. The pressing module 200 includes a second drive assembly 210 and a pressing component 220. The second drive assembly 210 is connected to the pressing component 220. When the positioning seat 110 is in the waste shaking state, the second drive assembly 210 can drive the pressing component 220 to press down on the welding position of the workpiece on the positioning seat 110.

[0032] In the operation of the waste removal device of this application, the welded workpiece is first placed on the positioning seat 110 and positioned by the positioning seat 110. The positioning seat 110 is driven to rotate relative to the mounting frame 120 around the vertical axis by the first drive assembly 130, so that the positioning seat 110 switches from the loading / unloading state to the waste-shaking state. Then, the second drive assembly 210 of the pressing module 200 drives the pressing component 220 to press down on the welding position of the workpiece on the positioning seat 110. The first drive assembly 130 then drives the positioning seat 110 to rotate around the vertical axis, so that the positioning seat 110 switches from the waste-shaking state to the loading / unloading state, and the pressing component 220 scrapes off the waste material adhering to the welding position. From the above operation process, it is clear that the waste removal device of this application can drive the positioning seat 110 to rotate by the first drive assembly 130, so that the pressing component 220 pressed on the welding position of the workpiece can scrape off the waste material on the welding position of the workpiece, thereby realizing automatic cleaning of welding slag.

[0033] refer to Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, the first driving assembly 130 includes a first driver 131 and a mounting base 132. A toggle part 111 is provided on the positioning base 110. The toggle part 111 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 132 along a first horizontal direction. The mounting base 132 is slidably disposed on the mounting frame 120 along a second horizontal direction. The second horizontal direction intersects with the first horizontal direction. The first driver 131 is disposed on the mounting frame 120 and connected to the mounting base 132. The first driver 131 is used to drive the mounting base 132 to move along the second horizontal direction, so that the toggle part 111 slides relative to the mounting base 132 along the first horizontal direction, and causes the toggle part 111 to drive the positioning base 110 to rotate around the vertical axis. It is understood that the first driver 131 of the first drive assembly 130 drives the mounting base 132 to slide in the second horizontal direction. Since the actuating part 111 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 132 in the first horizontal direction and disposed on the positioning seat 110 which can rotate around the vertical axis, when the mounting base 132 slides in the second horizontal direction under the drive of the first driver 131, the actuating part 111 will slide relative to the mounting base 132 in the first horizontal direction, and the actuating part 111 can drive the positioning seat 110 to rotate around the vertical axis, thereby switching between the loading / unloading state and the waste shaking state.

[0034] Specifically, the mounting base 132 is provided with an elongated hole 132a extending in the first horizontal direction, and the actuating part 111 is slidably passed through the elongated hole 132a.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the waste removal module 100 includes a plurality of positioning seats 110 spaced apart along a second horizontal direction. Multiple mounting seats 132 are provided corresponding to the positioning seats 110. A first driver 131 is connected to each mounting seat 132 and can drive each mounting seat 132 to move synchronously along the second horizontal direction. It can be understood that by driving multiple mounting seats 132 to move along the second direction via the first driver 131, the actuating part 111 slides relative to the mounting seats 132 along a first horizontal direction. The actuating part 111 drives the positioning seats 110 to rotate around a vertical axis. This application can achieve the rotation of multiple workpieces around a vertical axis using only a single first driver 131, thereby simultaneously removing waste from multiple workpieces and improving the working efficiency of the waste removal device of this application.

[0036] like Figure 2As shown, in one embodiment, the pressing member 220 includes a plurality of pressing portions 221 spaced apart along a second horizontal direction. Each pressing portion 221 corresponds to a positioning seat 110, and the pressing portion 221 is used to press the welding position of the workpiece on the corresponding positioning seat 110. It can be understood that by placing multiple workpieces on a positioning seat 110, and then driving a plurality of mounting seats 132 along the second horizontal direction via a first driver 131, the corresponding positioning seat 110 is rotated around a vertical axis to a wobbly state. Then, the pressing member 220 is driven downwards via a second driving assembly 210, so that each pressing portion 221 spaced apart along the second horizontal direction on the pressing member 220 can press the welding position of the workpiece on each positioning seat 110. Finally, the first driver 131 drives a plurality of mounting seats 132 along the second horizontal direction, causing the corresponding positioning seat 110 to rotate around a vertical axis to a loading / unloading state, and causing each pressing portion 221 to scrape off the waste material adhering to the welding position on each workpiece.

[0037] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 In some embodiments of the present invention, the second driving component 210 includes a first horizontal driving structure 211 and a first vertical driving structure 212 connected to each other. The first horizontal driving structure 211 is used to drive the pressing component 220 to move in the horizontal direction, and the first vertical driving structure 212 is used to drive the pressing component 220 to move in the vertical direction. Understandably, the welded workpiece is first placed on the positioning seat 110. Then, the first horizontal drive structure 211 drives the pressing component 220 to approach the positioning seat 110 in the horizontal direction so that the pressing component 220 can be aligned with the welding position of the workpiece in the vertical direction. Then, the first vertical drive structure 212 drives the pressing component 220 to approach the positioning seat 110 in the vertical direction so that the pressing component 220 can be accurately pressed onto the welding position of the workpiece. After the waste material adhering to the welding position is scraped off by the waste removal module 100, the first vertical drive structure 212 drives the pressing component 220 to move away from the positioning seat 110 in the vertical direction. Then, the first horizontal drive structure 211 drives the pressing component 220 to move away from the positioning seat 110 in the horizontal direction. At this time, the workpiece can be smoothly removed from the positioning seat 110 under the action of the robot.

[0038] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the waste removal device further includes a waste suction module 300, which is disposed on one side of the waste shaking module 100 and is used to receive waste material falling from the workpiece welding position. It is understood that when the waste material adhering to the welding position is scraped off by the waste shaking module 100, the waste material can be absorbed by the waste suction module 300 disposed on one side of the waste shaking module 100, thereby reducing the probability of the waste material falling into other structures of the device, and thus reducing the possibility of the waste material affecting the normal operation of the waste removal device.

[0039] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the waste suction module 300 includes a third driving component 310 and a waste suction structure 320 connected to each other. The waste suction structure 320 is provided with a waste suction channel 321. The third driving component 310 is used to adjust the position of the waste suction structure 320 so that the inlet of the waste suction channel 321 is directly facing the welding position on the workpiece. It can be understood that the waste suction structure 320 is driven to move by the third driving component 310 so that the inlet of the waste suction channel 321 on the waste suction structure 320 can be directly facing the welding position on the workpiece, so that the waste scraped off the welding position of the workpiece can be smoothly sucked into the waste suction channel 321 through the inlet of the waste suction channel 321.

[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in one embodiment, the third driving assembly 310 includes a second horizontal driving structure 311 and a second vertical driving structure 312 connected to each other. The second horizontal driving structure 311 drives the waste suction structure 320 to move horizontally, and the second vertical driving structure 312 drives the waste suction structure 320 to move vertically. It is understood that by driving the waste suction structure 320 vertically via the second vertical driving structure 312, the inlet of the waste suction channel 321 of the waste suction structure 320 can be aligned horizontally with the welding position of the workpiece. Then, by driving the waste suction structure 320 horizontally via the second horizontal driving structure 311, the inlet of the waste suction channel 321 of the waste suction structure 320 is brought close to the welding position of the workpiece in the horizontal direction, so that the inlet of the waste suction channel 321 is directly facing the welding position on the workpiece, so that the waste suction channel 321 can smoothly suck up the waste material that has fallen off the workpiece.

[0041] The following is a detailed description of a welding device according to a second aspect of the present invention.

[0042] A welding apparatus according to a second aspect of the present invention includes a waste removal device as described in the first aspect of the present invention. It is understood that by employing the waste removal device of this application in the welding apparatus, the welding apparatus can drive the positioning seat 110 to rotate via the first drive assembly 130, so that the pressing member 220 pressed against the workpiece welding position can scrape off the waste material on the workpiece welding position, thereby achieving automatic slag removal by the welding apparatus.

[0043] A waste discharge method according to an embodiment of the present invention is applied to the waste discharge device described in the first aspect embodiment above. The waste discharge method includes the following steps:

[0044] The first drive component 130 drives the positioning seat 110 to rotate, so that the positioning seat 110 switches from the loading and unloading state to the waste shaking state.

[0045] The second drive assembly 210 drives the pressing component 220 to press down onto the welding position of the workpiece on the positioning seat 110;

[0046] The first drive assembly 130 drives the positioning seat 110 to rotate, so that the positioning seat 110 switches from the waste-shaking state to the loading and unloading state, and the pressing part 220 scrapes the waste material stuck to the welding position.

[0047] Understandably, the welded workpiece is first placed on the positioning seat 110 and positioned by the positioning seat 110. The positioning seat 110 is then driven to rotate relative to the mounting frame 120 around the vertical axis by the first drive assembly 130, so that the positioning seat 110 switches from the loading / unloading state to the scrap-collecting state. Then, the pressing component 220 is driven by the second drive assembly 210 of the pressing module 200 to press down on the welding position of the workpiece on the positioning seat 110. The positioning seat 110 is then driven to rotate around the vertical axis by the first drive assembly 130, so that the positioning seat 110 switches from the scrap-collecting state to the loading / unloading state, and the pressing component 220 scrapes the scrap material adhering to the welding position.
