Detailed Implementation

[0015] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this disclosure clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this disclosure.

[0016] Based on the embodiments described in this disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this disclosure.

[0017] refer to Figure 1-4 .

[0018] This utility model provides a sheet metal shell welding equipment, including a cabinet 1, a loading and unloading station 2, and a welding station 3. The cabinet 1 is provided with a turntable mechanism 4, which includes a geared motor 40 located at the bottom of the cabinet 1 and a turntable 41 driven and connected to the geared motor 40. A first material positioning mechanism 5 and a second material positioning mechanism 6 are respectively provided on both sides of the turntable 41. The first material positioning mechanism 5 and the second material positioning mechanism 6 each include a base plate 50 located on the top of the turntable 41, a limiting side plate 51 located on the top of the base plate 50, a plurality of first horizontal pushing and clamping devices 52 arranged in parallel on the top of the base plate 50, a plurality of second horizontal pushing and clamping devices 53 arranged in parallel on the top of the base plate 50, a longitudinal pressing device 54 located on the top of the base plate 50, and limiting posts 55 arranged in parallel on the top of the base plate 50 and located on both sides of the longitudinal pressing device 54. The welding station 3 includes an industrial robot 30 and a laser welding head 31 mounted on the industrial robot 30.

[0019] Its working principle is as follows: the loading and unloading station 2 can be operated manually. The positions of the limiting side plate 51, the first horizontal pushing device 52, the second horizontal pushing device 53, the longitudinal pressing device 54, and the limiting posts 55 on the base plate 50 are arranged according to the shape of the sheet metal shell. During loading, the material is placed on the first material positioning mechanism 5. The first horizontal pushing device 52 and the second horizontal pushing device 53 apply pushing force to the material along the X-axis and Y-axis directions respectively. One side of the material abuts against the inner side of the limiting side plate 51, and the other side of the material abuts against the inner sides of the two limiting posts 55 respectively, thereby positioning the material in the predetermined position. Then, the longitudinal pressing device 54 presses the material... Side-pressing prevents materials from tilting. The geared motor 40 drives the turntable 41 to rotate 180°, allowing the first material positioning mechanism 5 and the second material positioning mechanism 6 to switch positions. The material will then move to the welding station 3. The industrial robot 30 drives the laser welding head 31 to perform welding operations on the material on the first material positioning mechanism 5. At this time, the worker can place the next material on the second material positioning mechanism 6 for loading. After the product on the first material positioning mechanism 5 is welded, the turntable 41 is rotated to weld the material on the second material positioning mechanism 6. This cycle can effectively improve production efficiency and increase output.

[0020] Based on the above embodiments, the cabinet 1 is equipped with an isolation component 7, which includes a frame 70 disposed on the top of the cabinet 1. The frame 70 is equipped with a light-blocking plate 71, two opposing first protective side plates 72, and two opposing second protective side plates 73. The light-blocking plate 71 is disposed between the loading / unloading station 2 and the welding station 3. When welding is performed at the welding station 3 and loading / unloading operations are performed at the loading / unloading station 2, the harm of laser to workers can be reduced. The first protective side plates 72 and second protective side plates 73 provide isolation and protection, thereby improving the safety of equipment use.

[0021] Based on the above embodiments, both the first horizontal pressing device 52 and the second horizontal pressing device 53 include a horizontal drive cylinder 520 disposed on the top of the base plate 50 and a horizontal push plate 521 driven and connected to the horizontal drive cylinder 520; the longitudinal pressing device 54 includes two quick clamps 540 disposed side by side on the top of the base plate 50 and a pressure plate 541 fixedly connected between the clamp heads of the two quick clamps 540. By driving the horizontal push plate 521 forward through the horizontal drive cylinder 520, a forward pushing force can be applied to the material, thereby limiting the material; by driving the two quick clamps 540 to close, the pressure plate 541 can press the material tightly, preventing the material from moving.

[0022] Based on the above embodiment, a controller 10 is provided on one side of the cabinet 1, and a safety light curtain 11 electrically connected to the controller 10 is provided on the inner side of the second protective side panel 73. When the safety light curtain 11 detects that the light is blocked, the controller 10 can control the turntable mechanism 4 to stop rotating to avoid injury to personnel.

[0023] Based on the above embodiment, two start buttons 12 electrically connected to the controller 10 are provided on one side of the cabinet 1. The equipment will only start working when both start buttons 12 are pressed, avoiding accidental touches and improving equipment safety.

[0024] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model. Various modifications and improvements made to the technical solutions of the present utility model by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the present utility model should fall within the protection scope defined by the claims of the present utility model.
