Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding technology, specifically to an electrode welding device with a replaceable function. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive stamping parts require welding using electrode welding robots during assembly.
[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN117047247B describes an automated welding robot for automotive sheet metal, including a base with a robotic arm mounted on it. A resistance welding device is mounted at the output end of the robotic arm. The resistance welding device includes a frame with a large arm mounted on it. A first electrode is mounted at the end of the large arm furthest from the frame, and a second electrode is mounted on the frame. The first and second electrodes are coaxially arranged, and the second electrode can reciprocate up and down along the central axis of the first electrode. This invention, through a moving component and a cleaning component, quickly slides across the electrode head during its resetting process to clean the layer that adheres to the electrode head during high-temperature operation.

The air inlet and outlet of the position adjustment component 5 are located inside the support cylinder 61 and the connecting top plate 62. The support cylinder 61 and the connecting top plate 62 are connected to a conductive component 7 for the electrical control of the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3. The conductive component 7 is electrically connected to the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3. When the support cylinder 61 and the connecting top plate 62 are in contact, the air inlet and outlet of the position adjustment component 5 are in the air path conduction state, and the conductive component 7 is in the circuit conduction state.

When in contact with the support cylinder 61, the guide component guides the pneumatic locking component to move into the support cylinder 61. The pneumatic locking component locks the support cylinder 61 and the connecting top plate 62. At this time, the air inlet and outlet of the position adjustment component 5 are in the air path conduction state, and the conductive component 7 is in the circuit conduction state. The welding torch control system controls the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3 through the conductive component 7 to realize the rapid replacement of the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3, and ensures that the air inlet and outlet of the position adjustment component 5 are automatically connected after replacement. At the same time, the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3 are electrically connected to the welding torch control system to realize automated replacement, which is beneficial to practical use.

[0042] The support cylinder 61 is positioned on the external welding gun support frame, which facilitates standardized alignment in the later stage;
[0043] The pneumatic locking assembly includes a third air pipe 63, a fourth air pipe 64, an inner cylinder 65, a piston 66, a piston rod 68, a conical head 612, a wedge block 613, an insert plate 614, and a spring 617. The third air pipe 63 and the fourth air pipe 64 are fixedly installed on the top of the support cylinder 61, and the inner cylinder 65 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the connecting top plate 62. The outer wall of the connecting top plate 62 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support cylinder 61. A chamber 67 is opened at the upper end of the inner cylinder 65, and two sets of through holes 69 are opened in the inner cylinder 65. The upper and lower ends of one set of through holes 69 are respectively connected to the bottom of the third air pipe 63 and the lower end of the side wall of the chamber 67, and the upper and lower ends of the other set of through holes 69 are respectively connected to the bottom of the fourth air pipe 64 and the lower end of the side wall of the chamber 67. The top of the piston 66 is connected to the outer wall of the piston 66 and the inner wall of the chamber 67. The bottom of the piston 66 is fixedly connected to the top of the piston rod 68. The bottom of the piston rod 68 is fixedly connected to the conical head 612. The lower end of the inner cylinder 65 has horizontal sliding holes 615 at equal intervals along the circumference. The insert plate 614 is slidably connected in the horizontal sliding hole 615. The inner end of the insert plate 614 is fixedly connected to a wedge block 613 that cooperates with the conical head 612. The inner wall of the support cylinder 61 has a locking hole 616 that is inserted into the outer end of the insert plate 614. When the insert plate 614 is separated from the locking hole 616, the spring 617 is in a natural state. When the insert plate 614 and the locking hole 616 are inserted, the spring 617 is in a compressed state.
[0044] The piston rod 68 is slidably connected to the movable hole at the middle end of the inner cylinder 65.
[0045] When replacing the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3, the support cylinder 61 of the quick-connect structure 6 is moved to the welding torch support frame on the outside. The third air pipe 63 of the pneumatic locking assembly is inlet and the fourth air pipe 64 is outlet, pushing the chamber 67 to move upward. The chamber 67 drives the piston rod 68 to move upward. The piston rod 68 drives the conical head 612 to move upward. The spring 617 drives the wedge block 613 to move inward. The wedge block 613 drives the insert plate 614 to move along the transverse sliding hole 615 and separate from the lock hole 616, thus unlocking. The end of the robot arm 1 drives the connecting top plate 62 to move upward. The connecting top plate 62 drives the inner cylinder 65 of the pneumatic locking assembly to separate from the support cylinder 61. At this time, the air inlet and outlet of the position adjustment component 5 are in the air circuit disconnected state and the conductive component 7 is in the circuit disconnected state.
[0046] The end effector 1 of the robotic arm moves the connecting top plate 62 to above the support cylinder 61 of the upper electrode 2 and lower electrode 3 that need to be replaced. The end effector 1 then moves the connecting top plate 62 downward. The connecting top plate 62 causes the positioning rod 610 of the guide assembly to contact the positioning hole 611 in the support cylinder 61. Under the combined action of the positioning rod 610 and the positioning hole 611, the inner cylinder 65 of the pneumatic locking assembly is guided to move into the support cylinder 61. Then, air enters through the fourth air pipe 64 and exits through the third air pipe 63. The piston 66 moves downward, driving the piston rod 68 downward. The piston rod 68 drives the conical head 612 downward, pushing the wedge block 613. As the wedge block 613 moves outward, it drives the insert plate 614 to move outward. The insert plate 614 is inserted into the locking hole 616. The insert plate 614 and the locking hole 616 cooperate to lock the inner cylinder 65. The locking of the inner cylinder 65 locks the support cylinder 61 and the connecting top plate 62. At this time, the air inlet and outlet of the position adjustment component 5 are in the air path conduction state, and the conductive component 7 is in the circuit conduction state. The welding torch control system controls the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3 through the conductive component 7 to realize the rapid replacement of the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3, and ensures that the air inlet and outlet of the position adjustment component 5 are automatically connected after replacement. At the same time, the upper electrode 2 and the lower electrode 3 are electrically connected to the welding torch control system to realize automated replacement, which is beneficial to practical use.
