Description

A processing device for industrial robot parts Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of robot parts processing, and in particular to a processing device for industrial robot parts. Background Art

[0002] The industrial robot base is a base used to support the robot body and fix it to the ground. Most existing bases are square tubes with two base plates welded at the upper and lower ends, and then reinforcement ribs are welded between the base plates and the square tube to make a complete base.

[0003] Most of the existing base welding work involves placing the base plate on the ground, then placing the square tube on the base plate, and manually aligning the square tube with the base plate, while holding the square tube for welding. When welding the ribs, it is also necessary to mark the position to be welded on the base plate before welding. The lack of corresponding positioning devices during the welding process leads to positional offsets between the square tube and the base plate, and between the ribs and the square tube and the base plate. This results in poor accuracy of the welded base, which affects the subsequent operation of the carrying robot. Therefore, once the positions of the components are found to be offset after welding, the base can only be scrapped, which is easy to cause waste.

[0004] When dealing with some bases with larger production volumes, some factories will design corresponding positioning devices to assist in welding. However, the base sizes required by different robots are different, and existing specific positioning devices are difficult to meet the welding requirements of bases of different sizes.

The electromagnet 92 is provided on the outer side of the iron sheet 94 and is fixedly connected to the frame plate 1. The inner end of the rod 91 is provided with a ball bearing.

[0046] Working process and principle:

[0047] The base 7 is supported by a square tube 71 , with bottom plates 72 welded to both ends. One bottom plate 72 is used to be fixed to the ground, and the other bottom plate 72 is used to be fixed to the robot. The bottom plate 72 is provided with square notches corresponding to the inner holes of the square tube 71 .

[0048] Initially, the rotating frame 50 is in a vertical state, that is, the clamping plate 53 and the electric push rod 55 are in an upward vertical state, thereby making room for the subsequent bottom plate 72 to be placed on the frame plate 1.

[0049] Step 1: Position the square tube 71 and one of the base plates 72. Place one of the base plates 72 on the universal ball 81, with the calibration device 4 located in the square notch of the base plate 72. At this point, the base plate 72 can move freely, and then roughly align the square tube 71 with the square notch on the base plate 72.

[0050] At this time, the insertion rod 91 is located in the positioning hole, and the position of the turntable 3 is fixed and cannot rotate.

[0051] Start the motor 41, which drives the gear 42 to rotate clockwise. The clockwise rotation of the gear 42 can extend the four racks 43 outward, and the push plate 45 acts on the inner side of the square tube 71 and the square notch at the same time, so that the inner side of the square tube 71 and the square notch are forced to fit with the push plate 45, thereby correcting the square tube 71 and the square notch to the center, and the square tube 71 can also maintain alignment with the square notch.

[0052] After the square tube 71 and the bottom plate 72 are calibrated, the hydraulic cylinder is reset, the support plate is lowered, the universal ball 81 is retracted into the through hole 11, and the bottom plate 72 falls onto the frame plate 1.

[0053] Step 3: Install rib 73. Initially, spline 1 66 is located within spline groove 1, and spline 2 67 is located within spline groove 2. Pressing stopper 1 63 causes slide shaft 62 to slide toward stopper 2 64. Spline 1 66 remains within spline groove 1, while spline 2 67 moves from spline groove 2 into spline groove 1. At this point, the smooth circumference of slide shaft 62 is located within spline groove 2, allowing rotation frame 50 to rotate normally.

[0054] Manually rotate the rotating frame 50 to degrees. At this time, the back of the rotating frame 50 is in contact with the support 61. Release the baffle 1 63 to reset the spring 1 65 and reinsert the spline 2 67 into the spline groove 2 to maintain the horizontal state of the rotating frame 50. In the above state, the clamping plates 53 are also horizontal. Then the ribs 73 can be passed between the two clamping plates 53 and the ribs 73 are placed on the bottom plate 72. At this time, the distance between the clamping plates 53 is large, and the ribs 73 cannot be kept vertically in the center position. The motor 2 54 is started, and the bidirectional screw 52 rotates in the forward direction, driving the two clamping plates 53 closer to each other. Until the sliding roller 58 on the clamping plate 53 clamps the ribs 73.

[0055] After the ribs 73 are clamped, the electric push rod 55 is activated, causing the push block 57 to approach the outer edge of the ribs 73. The push block 57 is hinged to the connecting block 56 to adapt to the inclination of the outer edge of the ribs 73. The push block 57 is pushed open to contact the ribs 73, causing the ribs 73 to move toward the square tube 71 under the limit of the sliding roller 58 and gradually come into contact with the square tube 71, thus securing the ribs 73. After that, the secured square tube 71, bottom plate 72, and ribs 73 can be welded.

[0056] Step 4: Weld the ribs 73 at other locations. Release the welded ribs 73 from the clamping plate 53, then press the stopper 63 to rotate the clamping plate 53 to a vertical position and relock it to avoid interfering with the rotation of the square tube 71 and the bottom plate 72.

[0057] When electromagnet 92 is energized, it attracts iron sheet 94, thereby pulling rod 91 out of the positioning hole. Turntable 3 is no longer limited by rod 91 and can rotate normally. Motor 1 41 is started, driving gear 42 to continue rotating clockwise. Since rack 43 is now constrained by square tube 71 and cannot extend further outward, when gear 42 rotates, it drives all four racks 43 to rotate together, thereby driving base plate 72 and square tube 71 to rotate. When turntable 3 begins to rotate, electromagnet 92 is de-energized, and rod 91 moves toward the wall of turntable 3 under the action of spring 2 96, causing the ball bearing to come into tangential contact with the wall of turntable 3.

[0058] After the turntable 3 rotates a certain angle, the square tube 71 rotates to the other side. The insertion rod 91 is automatically inserted into the positioning hole under the action of spring 2 96, locking the turntable 3 and turning off motor 1 41. Then, step 3 can be repeated to weld the ribs 73 in the other direction. Repeat several times until all ribs 73 are welded.

[0059] Step 5: Weld another base plate 72, take out the welded semi-finished product, place the other base plate 72 on the outside of the correction device 4, then invert the semi-finished product on the second base plate 72, repeat the correction and positioning work of the base plate 72 and the square tube 71, and complete the welding of the other base plate 72. At this point, a complete base plate 72 is welded.

[0060] It is understood from common technical knowledge that the present invention may be implemented by other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed above are, in all respects, merely illustrative and not exclusive. All modifications within the scope of the present invention or equivalent to the scope of the present invention are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
