Novel automatic electrode cap replacing device

Abstract

The invention relates to a novel automatic electrode cap replacing device. The novel automatic electrode cap replacing device comprises a cap disassembling mechanism, two groups of storage mechanismsand a detection mechanism, wherein the two groups of storage mechanisms are respectively arranged on two sides of the cap disassembling mechanism; the detection mechanism is arranged on the cap disassembling mechanism; the two groups of storage mechanisms are connected with the cap disassembling mechanism in a rapid insertion manner. The novel automatic electrode cap replacing device has the beneficial effects that the device is simple in structure and convenient to operate, and is stable and reliable; the yield and the quality are greatly improved; the device is highly structured and can be combined with any one automatic repairing and grinding machine; the functions of automatically repairing and replacing the caps can be achieved; through rotation and downward movement of gears and clamping parts, electrode caps can be separated from electrode rods; the efficiency and the reliability of the equipment can be greatly improved; spring clamps are arranged, so that the storage mechanismscan be more reliably connected with the cap disassembling mechanism.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic replacement of electrode caps, in particular to a novel automatic replacement device for electrode caps. Background technique [0002] At present, modern automobile production lines generally use robots for spot welding of automobile body-in-white. The intelligent high-speed movements of robots can meet the high production capacity requirements of automobile production, but the electrodes used for welding are frequently switched on and off and pressure is applied during robot welding. The electrode wears quickly, and the surface of the electrode is easy to form an oxide layer, which will damage the electrode. The damaged electrode will seriously affect the welding quality of the body in white. In order to eliminate the electrode wear and the adverse effect of the electrode oxide layer on welding, the usual practice is to After the electrode is used for a certain number of times, the electrode ca...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Although the existing electrode grinding adopts the automatic grinding controlled by the robot, its function is single, the replacement of the electrode cap needs to be done manually, and the replacement of the electrode cap takes a long time

During the replacement of the electrode caps, the automobile welding production line needs to stop for several minutes. Since the electrode caps of each welding machine are replaced at different time periods, this will prevent the welding production line from being fully continuous, and the production capacity of the automobile will be affected to a certain extent.

[0005] In the current market, automatic grinders are very common, and a few companies have corresponding products for automatic mold repairing and cap changing all-in-one machines, but there is no corresponding product for independent automatic electrode cap replacement equipment.
