Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding equipment technology, and specifically discloses an intelligent welding workstation with protective functions. Background Technology

[0002] Welding is a commonly used joining method in manufacturing industries such as automobiles, ships, aerospace, and large machinery. In particular, with the development and widespread use of intelligent robots, the level of intelligence in welding workstations is becoming increasingly higher.

[0003] Existing welding equipment generates large amounts of harmful fumes, intense arc light, and high-temperature spatter during the welding process, seriously endangering the health and safety of operators. Although integrated welding booths or protective enclosures have emerged to isolate the welding area from the external environment, such equipment typically has only one workstation. When auxiliary operations such as workpiece clamping and disassembly are performed, welding production must be stopped, resulting in low equipment utilization, constrained production efficiency, and an inability to meet the demands of modern continuous production. Therefore, an intelligent welding workstation with protective functions is needed to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention proposes an intelligent welding workstation with protective functions. Through a dual-station alternating sealed operation design, welding and clamping are carried out simultaneously, which significantly improves efficiency while effectively isolating welding fumes and arc light, thus ensuring personnel health and operational safety.

[0005] This utility model is implemented as follows: an intelligent welding workstation with protective function includes a housing, a robotic arm installed on the upper surface of the housing, a welding torch installed on the outer wall of the robotic arm, a fixing mechanism provided inside the housing, the fixing mechanism including a lead screw rotatably connected to the housing, a first baffle threaded to the outer wall of the lead screw, a base plate fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the first baffle, a second baffle located outside the housing fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two base plates facing away from each other, and a clamping assembly provided on the upper surface of the two base plates. The clamping assembly includes two support plates fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate. Electric actuators are installed on the outer walls of the two support plates facing away from each other. The output ends of the two electric actuators extend to the other side of the support plates and are fixedly connected to clamping plates.

[0006] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent welding workstation with protective function of this utility model, the outer wall of the box is connected to a filter box, the inside of the filter box is detachably connected to a filter plate by bolts, and an air pump with an air inlet connected to the filter box is installed on the outer wall of the box.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent welding workstation with protective function of this utility model, the outer wall of the base plate is provided with a number of evenly distributed through holes.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent welding workstation with protective function of this utility model, the inside of the housing is fixedly connected with a limiting rod that is slidably connected to the first baffle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent welding workstation with protective function of this utility model, sealing gaskets are provided on the left and right end faces of the first baffle and the outer walls opposite to the two second baffles.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent welding workstation with protective function of this utility model, the outer walls of the two second baffles facing away from each other are equipped with rollers via support legs.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the intelligent welding workstation with protective function according to this utility model, the outer wall of the housing is equipped with a controller, and the robotic arm, welding torch, servo motor, electric actuator and air pump are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. By incorporating a movable first baffle, double bottom plates, and double second baffles driven by a lead screw, welding can be performed at one station inside the enclosure while workpiece loading and unloading preparations are simultaneously conducted at another station outside the enclosure. The two stations alternate in a cycle, significantly reducing equipment downtime and improving welding efficiency. Simultaneously, this design ensures that the welding process always takes place within a sealed enclosure; the first and second baffles together form a barrier, effectively preventing the escape of welding fumes and arc light, thus protecting the health of the operators.

[0013] 2. By installing a fume purification system consisting of an air pump, a filter box, and removable filter plates, the system can actively suck in and filter harmful fumes generated during welding within the box, then discharge clean air. This not only avoids environmental pollution but also directly improves workplace air quality. The through-hole design on the base plate further optimizes the fume extraction path, ensuring efficient and thorough fume treatment. Attached Figure Description

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments to aid in understanding its content. Unless otherwise specified, the methods used in this invention are conventional methods; the raw materials and apparatus used, unless otherwise specified, are conventional commercially available products.

[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 A protective intelligent welding workstation includes a housing 1. A robotic arm 2 is installed on the upper surface inside the housing 1. A welding torch 3 is installed on the outer wall of the robotic arm 2. A fixing mechanism is provided inside the housing 1. The fixing mechanism includes a lead screw 5 rotatably connected inside the housing 1. A first baffle 4 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the lead screw 5. A base plate 8 is fixedly connected to both the left and right ends of the first baffle 4. A second baffle 9 located outside the housing 1 is fixedly connected to the outer walls of the two base plates 8 facing away from each other. A clamping assembly is provided on the upper surface of the two base plates 8. The clamping assembly includes two support plates 11 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 8. Electric push rods 12 are installed on the outer walls of the two support plates 11 facing away from each other. The output ends of the two electric push rods 12 extend to the other side of the support plates 11 and are fixedly connected to clamping plates 13.

[0022] In this embodiment: the workpiece to be welded is placed on the outer base plate 8, and two electric actuators 12 are started simultaneously. The electric actuators 12 drive the two clamping plates 13 to move synchronously relative to each other, clamping and fixing the workpiece. The servo motor 6 is started, and the servo motor 6 drives the lead screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the first baffle 4 to move to the left or right. The first baffle 4 further drives the two base plates 8 to move to the left or right, which in turn drives the two second baffles 9 to move to the left or right, so that the base plate 8 with the workpiece is moved into the interior of the housing 1. At the same time, the other base plate 8 is moved out of the housing 1. The housing 1 is sealed by the first baffle 4 and one of the second baffles 9 to prevent the emission of welding fumes and dust, which may affect the health of the operators. At the same time, the workpiece on the other base plate 8 can be loaded and unloaded, realizing the alternation of two workstations and high welding efficiency.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the housing 1 is connected to a filter box 14, and the filter plate 15 is detachably connected to the inside of the filter box 14 by bolts. An air pump 16 with an air inlet connected to the filter box 14 is installed on the outer wall of the housing 1.

[0024] In this embodiment: the air pump 16 is started, and the air pump 16 draws the fumes generated during welding inside the housing 1 into the filter box 14. After being filtered by the filter plate 15, the fumes are discharged to prevent them from being directly discharged and affecting the health of the operators and polluting the environment.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer wall of the base plate 8 is provided with a number of evenly distributed through holes 10.

[0026] In this embodiment, several evenly distributed through holes 10 are opened on the outer wall of the base plate 8 to facilitate the passage of smoke and dust.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a limiting rod 7 that is slidably connected to the first baffle 4 is fixedly connected inside the box 1.

[0028] In this embodiment, the limiting rod 7 facilitates the limiting of the first baffle 4, thereby stabilizing the movement of the first baffle 4.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, sealing gaskets are provided on the outer walls of the left and right end faces of the first baffle 4 and the two second baffles 9.

[0030] In this embodiment, sealing gaskets are provided on the outer walls of the first baffle 4 and the two second baffles 9 on both the left and right end faces of the first baffle 4, which are opposite to the outer walls of the two second baffles 9, so as to maintain good sealing between the first baffle 4, the second baffle 9 and the housing 1.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the outer walls of the two second baffles 9 facing away from each other are equipped with rollers 17 via support legs.

[0032] In this embodiment, rollers 17 are installed on the outer walls of the two second baffles 9 opposite to each other via support legs, which facilitates the support of the second baffles 9 and makes the movement of the second baffles 9 stable.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a controller is provided on the outer wall of the housing 1, and the robotic arm 2, welding torch 3, servo motor 6, electric push rod 12 and air pump 16 are all electrically connected to the controller.

[0034] In this embodiment, the controller facilitates the normal operation of the robotic arm 2, welding torch 3, servo motor 6, electric actuator 12, and air pump 16.

[0035] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the workpiece to be welded is placed on the outer base plate 8. Then, two electric push rods 12 are started simultaneously, driving two clamping plates 13 to move synchronously relative to each other, clamping and fixing the workpiece. Next, the servo motor 6 is started, driving the lead screw 5 to rotate, which in turn drives the first baffle 4 to move left or right. The first baffle 4 further drives the two base plates 8 to move left or right, which in turn drives the two second baffles 9 to move left or right, causing the base plate 8 holding the workpiece to move into the housing 1. Simultaneously, the other base plate 8 is moved out of the housing 1. The housing 1 is sealed by the first baffle 4 and one of the second baffles 9, preventing the emission of welding fumes and dust, which could affect the health of the operators. At the same time, the workpiece on the other base plate 8 can be loaded and unloaded, enabling alternating work between the two stations, resulting in high welding efficiency.
