Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, and in particular to a full inspection and repair welding station for tubular beams. Background Technology

[0002] The production method of the instrument panel crossbeam assembly of automotive parts is mainly industrial robot welding. After robot welding, manual full inspection and repair welding are generally required. After observing the crossbeam from multiple angles, a repair welding gun is used to perform repair welding.

[0003] However, traditional welding repair methods involve workers operating on a square frame welding table. When inspecting and repairing pipe beams at various angles with numerous supports, this is extremely inconvenient. Workers must repeatedly move and rotate the instrument beams to achieve the appropriate angle before fixing them, and then inspect and weld the fixed beams. This traditional method of full-inspection welding, relying on manual operation, is inefficient and requires real-time adjustments, further hindering production. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a full inspection and repair welding station for pipe beams, so as to solve the problem that full inspection and repair welding on a fixed repair welding station requires manual handling and flipping multiple times, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a full inspection and repair welding station for pipe beams, including a base frame. A left lifting frame and a right lifting frame are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base frame. A left support shaft is fixedly installed on the upper end of the left lifting frame, and a right support shaft is rotatably installed on the right lifting frame via a rotating shaft. Limiting mechanisms are provided on the left and right support shafts to clamp and limit the pipe beam. An angle adjustment mechanism is provided on one side of the right lifting frame, which drives the right support shaft to rotate to adjust the angle at which the pipe beam is placed. A lamp holder is installed on one side of the base frame, and a lighting lamp is installed on the top of the lamp holder.

[0006] A further improvement is that the left lifting frame includes a fixed rod and a movable rod. The fixed rod is fixedly installed on the base frame, and the movable rod is slidably disposed on the upper end of the fixed rod. Multiple sets of positioning holes are opened on one side of the fixed rod, and an installation hole is opened on one side of the movable rod. A positioning pin is slidably disposed in the installation hole, and a positioning spring is connected between the positioning pin and the installation hole. The positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole by the action of the positioning spring to position the position between the movable rod and the fixed rod. The right lifting frame has the same structure as the left lifting frame.

[0007] A further improvement is that the limiting mechanism includes a left clamping block and a right clamping block. The right clamping block is fixedly installed on the right support shaft, and the left clamping block is movably sleeved on the left support shaft. A movable ring is rotatably provided on one side of the left clamping block, and a compression spring is connected between the movable ring and the left lifting frame.

[0008] A further improvement is that both the left and right clamping blocks adopt a conical structure, and rubber pads are provided on the surfaces of both the left and right clamping blocks.

[0009] A further improvement is that the length of the left support shaft is greater than the length of the right support shaft.

[0010] A further improvement is that the angle adjustment mechanism includes a rotating disk, which is rotatably mounted on the side of the right lifting frame. The end of the rotating shaft passes through the right lifting frame and is fixedly connected to the rotating disk. An installation groove is provided on one side of the upper end of the right lifting frame. A locking block is slidably installed in the installation groove. A locking spring is connected between the locking block and the installation groove. Multiple locking grooves are equidistantly provided around the inner side of the rotating disk.

[0011] A further improvement is that the end of the locking block has a semi-circular structure.

[0012] A further improvement is that rollers are installed on the underside of the base frame.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting up a left lifting frame and a right lifting frame, the height of the lifting frame can be adjusted, allowing operators to adjust it to a suitable height according to their needs, facilitating subsequent full inspection and welding. Furthermore, the left and right lifting frames are equipped with corresponding left and right support shafts for placing the pipe beam, facilitating the loading and unloading of the pipe beam. Limiting mechanisms are installed on the left and right support shafts, using left and right clamping blocks to engage the pipe beam's two ends, thus ensuring stable placement of the pipe beam and reducing shaking during full inspection and welding, thereby improving the effectiveness of the full inspection and welding. The rotating disc drives the right support shaft to rotate, allowing the engaged pipe beam to adjust its angle, reducing the need for multiple manual handling and flipping, making operation more labor-saving and convenient, and improving the efficiency of full inspection and welding, thus increasing production efficiency. The installation of lighting provides illumination during full inspection and welding, making it easier to observe details during inspection, greatly reducing the probability of quality problems and lowering quality risks.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a full inspection welding station for pipe beams, including a base frame 1. Rollers 23 are installed on the lower side of the base frame 1. The rollers 23 include directional wheels and omnidirectional wheels. The base frame 1 can be moved by the rollers 23, which facilitates the handling and movement of the welding station. A lamp holder 6 is installed on one side of the base frame 1. An illumination lamp 7 is installed on the top of the lamp holder 6. The illumination lamp 7 provides a light source for illumination during full inspection welding, making it easier to observe details during full inspection welding and greatly reducing the probability of quality problems.

[0024] like Figure 1-3As shown, a left lifting frame 2 and a right lifting frame 3 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the base frame 1. The right lifting frame 3 has the same structure as the left lifting frame 2. The left lifting frame 2 includes a fixed rod 8 and a movable rod 9. The fixed rod 8 is fixedly installed on the base frame 1, and the movable rod 9 is slidably arranged on the upper end of the fixed rod 8. Multiple sets of positioning holes 10 are opened on one side of the fixed rod 8, and a mounting hole 11 is opened on one side of the movable rod 9. A positioning pin 12 is slidably arranged in the mounting hole 11. A positioning spring 13 is connected between the positioning pin 12 and the mounting hole 11. The positioning pin 12 is fixed by a fixed rod 8 and a movable rod 9. The positioning spring 13 is inserted into the positioning hole 10 to position the movable rod 9 and the fixed rod 8. By pressing the positioning pin 12, the positioning pin 12 is retracted from the positioning hole 10 into the mounting hole 11, releasing the lock between the fixed rod 8 and the movable rod 9. The movable rod 9 is pulled to adjust its position, thereby adjusting the height of the left lifting frame 2. After adjustment, the pressure on the positioning pin 12 is released, allowing the positioning pin 12 to extend out and be inserted into the positioning hole 10 by the action of the positioning spring 13 to lock the position of the movable rod 9.

[0025] A left support shaft 4 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the left lifting frame 2, and a right support shaft 5 is rotatably installed on the right lifting frame 3 via a rotating shaft. The left support shaft 4 and the right support shaft 5 are set on the movable rod 9. The pipe beam is placed by the left support shaft 4 and the right support shaft. The length of the left support shaft 4 is greater than the length of the right support shaft 5. When loading the pipe beam, first insert one end of the pipe beam into the left support shaft 4 until it is fully inserted, and then move the pipe beam to the right so that the other end of the pipe beam is moved to the right and inserted into the right support shaft 5 for placement. By setting the left support shaft 4 and the right support shaft 5 to be of different lengths, the stability of the pipe beam placed on the left support shaft 4 and the right support shaft 5 is effectively ensured, reducing the occurrence of falling.

[0026] like Figure 2 , 3 As shown, a limiting mechanism is provided on the left support shaft 4 and the right support shaft 5 to clamp and limit the pipe beam. The limiting mechanism includes a left clamping block 14 and a right clamping block 15. The right clamping block 15 is fixedly installed on the right support shaft 5, and the left clamping block 14 is movably sleeved on the left support shaft 4. A moving ring 16 is rotatably provided on one side of the left clamping block 14, and a compression spring 17 is connected between the moving ring 16 and the left lifting frame 2. One end of the tube beam is inserted into the right support shaft 5 and engaged with the right clamping block 15, while the other end is inserted into the left support shaft 4. The left clamping block 14, through the action of the compression spring 17, holds the other end of the tube beam against the shaft, making the tube beam more stable. When it needs to be removed, the tube beam is moved to the left to disengage it from the right support shaft 5, and then pulled out from the left support shaft 4, thus completing the unloading process. Both the left clamping block 14 and the right clamping block 15 adopt a conical structure, and rubber pads are provided on the surfaces of both the left clamping block 14 and the right clamping block 15. The conical structure is suitable for tube beams of different diameters. The insertion depth is controlled according to the different diameters of the tube beam openings to ensure stable engagement. The rubber pads also increase friction and prevent shaking during the welding process.

[0027] like Figure 3 , 4 As shown, an angle adjustment mechanism is provided on one side of the right lifting frame 3. This mechanism drives the right support shaft 5 to rotate, thereby adjusting the angle of the pipe beam placement. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a rotating disk 18, which is rotatably mounted on the side of the right lifting frame 3 and on the movable rod 9. A handle is installed on one side of the rotating disk 18. Rotating the handle drives the rotating disk 18 to rotate. The end of the rotating shaft passes through the right lifting frame 3 and is fixedly connected to the rotating disk 18. The rotating disk 18 drives the right support shaft 5 to rotate via the rotating shaft. The right support shaft 5, through a limiting mechanism, drives the pipe beam to... The rotating plate rotates to adjust the angle of the tube beam. A mounting groove 19 is provided on one side of the upper end of the right lifting frame 3. A locking block 20 is slidably installed in the mounting groove 19. A locking spring 21 is connected between the locking block 20 and the mounting groove 19. Multiple locking grooves 22 are equidistantly arranged around the inner side of the rotating plate 18. The end of the locking block 20 is a semi-circular structure, and the locking groove 22 is an arc groove. By rotating the rotating plate 18, the locking block 20 is pressed, so that the locking block 20 moves from one locking groove 22 to another locking groove 22. The locking block 20 is locked into the locking groove 22 to position the rotating plate 18.

[0028] In use, one end of the pipe beam is first inserted into the left support shaft 4 and inserted to the bottom. Then, the pipe beam is moved horizontally so that the other end of the pipe beam is inserted into the right support shaft 5. The pipe opening is then positioned by engaging the right clamping block 15. The left clamping block 14 moves on the left support shaft 4 and engages with the pipe opening at the other end of the pipe beam. The left clamping block 14 and the right clamping block 15 clamp and limit the pipe beam, making the pipe beam stable. The operator can then perform a full inspection of the pipe beam and perform repair welding using a welding gun. By rotating the rotating disk 18, the right support shaft 5 is rotated, causing the pipe beam to rotate through the engagement of the right clamping block 15. This rotation of the pipe beam allows the operator to perform a full inspection and repair welding of the pipe beam from multiple angles, greatly improving the convenience of operation.
