The processing module, each sensing device and each driving device can transmit signals in a wired or wireless (realized by arranging a Bluetooth module and a WIFI module) mode. The processing module can acquire real-time coordinate parameters of the driving turntable 1, the first driving device 2 and the welding assembly; after the positioning component 3 and the docking component 401 are positioned and fastened, the positioning component 3 and the docking component 401 can become a standard interface between the clamping fixture 4 and the driving turntable 1 and the first driving device 2, and the size of the clamping fixture 4 is a preset size, so that the processing module can indirectly obtain the real-time coordinate parameters of the clamping fixture 4 through the real-time coordinate parameters of the driving turntable 1 and the first driving device 2; the workpieces to be welded are workpieces of preset types, and the relative position size between the workpieces to be welded and the clamping jig 4 is also a preset size, so that the processing module can further acquire real-time coordinate parameters of the workpieces to be welded through the real-time coordinate parameters of the clamping jig 4; in this way, after the workpiece to be welded and the driving turntable 1 are relatively fixed (the matching part 403 abuts against the limiting part 101), the welding program can be called to perform automatic welding operation on the workpiece to be welded without manual zero adjustment operation.
Therefore, in the welding jig positioning system provided by this embodiment, the transportation device 5 conveys the clamping jig 4, which is clamped with the preset type of the workpiece to be welded, into the welding area, and when the first sensing device 8 detects that the transportation device 5 has reached the preset position in the welding area, the first sensing signal is sent to the processing module, so as to trigger the processing module to output the first trigger signal to the first driving device 2, and further control the first driving device 2 to drive the positioning assembly 3 to move vertically upward and be connected with the docking assembly 401 on the clamping jig 4, so as to drive the clamping jig 4 to move vertically upward and be separated from the transportation device 5, and control the second driving device 402 to drive the matching portion 403 to abut against the limiting portion 101 on the driving turntable 1 when the positioning assembly 3 moves upward to the preset height position, thereby realizing the separation operation of the workpiece to be welded from the transportation device 5 and the connection fixing operation of the workpiece to be welded and the driving turntable 1 in an automatic manner; and the first sensing device 8 can acquire the workpiece information of the workpieces to be welded and send the workpiece information to the processing module, so that the processing module is triggered to call a corresponding welding program and drive the welding assembly to move relative to the driving turntable 1 according to a preset track, and automatic welding operation for the workpieces to be welded in different models is realized. On the other hand, after the positioning component 3 and the docking component 401 are connected, the positioning component 3 and the docking component 401 can become a standard interface between the clamping fixture 4 and the driving turntable 1 and the first driving device 2, and thus, the processing module can indirectly obtain the moving parameter (or the coordinate parameter) of the workpiece to be welded by obtaining the moving parameter (or the coordinate parameter) of the positions of the driving turntable 1 and the first driving device 2, so that after the workpiece to be welded and the driving turntable 1 are relatively fixed (the matching part 403 is abutted to the limiting part 101), the welding program can be called to perform automatic welding operation on the workpiece to be welded without manually adjusting the zero position. Based on the arrangement, the automatic positioning and fixing of the workpiece to be welded and the welding tool can be realized, and the manual zero setting operation is omitted, so that the overall machining efficiency is improved, and the machining cost is reduced; in addition, because the clamping tool 4 sets up on the transportation equipment 5 of outside and can dismantle with drive carousel 1 and be connected, but not the direct fixation in drive carousel 1 on, consequently can set up the clamping tool 4 that multiple has different clamping mode of arranging to can satisfy the clamping demand of treating the welded part of more different models, improve equipment's suitability.
Preferably, a detection device in communication connection with the processing module is further provided to identify the workpiece information of the workpiece to be welded and automatically trigger the processing module to call the corresponding welding program. The workpiece information may be information that can be used to distinguish the size parameter, the shape profile parameter, the workpiece code, and the like of the workpiece to be welded from other types of workpieces to be welded. Detection devices include, but are not limited to, distance sensors, proximity sensors, and image sensors. Taking a distance sensor as an example, the distance sensor can measure the linear distance from the installation position to a certain part of the workpiece to be welded, so that the difference of the corresponding part of the workpiece to be welded can be identified based on the measured distance, and the type of the workpiece to be welded in the welding area is judged according to the difference of the part; taking a proximity sensor as an example, a splashing-preventing fluororesin coating type proximity sensor can be specifically selected, each proximity sensor of different types has a corresponding rated detection distance, and if the detection distance exceeds the rated detection distance, the detection function cannot be achieved, so that whether a corresponding structure exists at a certain part of a workpiece to be welded (for example, whether a protruding structure at the top of one side of the workpiece to be welded is detected) can be detected within a rated detection range, and the type of the workpiece to be welded in a welding area is judged; taking an image sensor as an example, the image sensor can acquire image information of a to-be-welded workpiece currently located in a welding area, and identify the shape and contour of the to-be-welded workpiece through an image processing technology, or identify a workpiece code engraved on the to-be-welded workpiece, so as to judge the model of the to-be-welded workpiece. The detection devices can be arranged in a plurality of different positions, so that more types of workpieces to be welded can be identified through the arrangement and combination of the parameters measured by the detection devices, and the application range of the equipment is widened.

In this embodiment, the first contact 801 and the second contact 802 form a limit switch. Taking the transportation device 5 as an example, when the transportation device 5 completely enters the welding area, the first contact 801 arranged at the front end of the transportation device 5 is in contact with the second contact 802 on the fixed support 6, and the sensor embedded in the first contact 801 and/or the second contact 802 judges that the transportation device 5 is at the position and sends a first detection signal to the processing module, so as to trigger the processing module to control the limiting driving device 602 to act, so that the movable part of the limiting driving device 602 is abutted against the transportation device 5, and the transportation device 5 is locked, so that when a worker loosens the transportation device 5, the transportation device 5 is prevented from sliding backwards due to factors such as gravity center or uneven ground; after the transportation device 5 is locked, the first detection signal also triggers the subsequent positioning operation of the clamping fixture 4. The limiting driving device 602 may adopt a rotary cylinder, and the transportation device 5 may be provided with a structure that fits the contour of the piston portion of the rotary cylinder, so as to ensure that the piston portion of the rotary cylinder can tightly push the transportation device 5.

Further, referring to fig. 1-6, in an exemplary embodiment, positioning assembly 3 includes a first base 301, a first sphere 302, a drive shaft 303, and a fourth drive arrangement 304, and docking assembly 401 includes a connection flange 4011; wherein:
the first base 301 has a columnar portion 3011 and a flange portion 3012, and one end of the columnar portion 3011 is disposed on one side end face of the flange portion 3012; the other end of the columnar portion 3011 is provided with a first through hole 3013, and the first through hole 3013 is communicated with the end face of the other side of the flange portion 3012; a plurality of second through holes 30111 are arranged on the cylindrical surface of the columnar portion 3011 at intervals along the circumferential direction, and the second through holes 30111 are communicated with the first through holes 3013; the first spheres 302 are arranged in the second through holes 30111 in a one-to-one correspondence manner; the drive shaft 303 has a first inclined portion 3031, the cross-sectional area of the first inclined portion 3031 gradually decreases in the axial direction of the drive shaft 303, and the drive shaft 303 is slidably fitted in the first through hole 3013; the fourth driving device 304 is connected with the driving shaft 303, and the fourth driving device 304 is used for driving the driving shaft 303 to axially slide along the first through hole 3013;
a third through hole 40111 is formed in the end face of one side of the connecting flange 4011, a second inclined portion 40112 is formed on the hole wall of the third through hole 40111, and the cross sectional area of the second inclined portion 40112 is gradually reduced along the axial direction of the third through hole 40111; the third through hole 40111 is sleeved on the columnar portion 3011, and one side end face of the connecting flange 4011 is used for being attached to one side end face of the flange portion 3012;
when the fourth driving device 304 drives the driving shaft 303 to slide linearly, the first inclined portion 3031 is used for pushing the first ball 302 to move along the axial direction of the second through hole 30111; the first ball 302 is adapted to abut against the second inclined portion 40112 to generate a pressing force component to the second inclined portion 40112 toward the flange portion 3012.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 5 and 6, the fourth driving means 304 may be a device for linear driving such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or the like. The cross-sectional area of the first inclined portion 3031 may gradually decrease upwards along the axial direction of the driving shaft 303, or gradually decrease downwards along the axial direction of the driving shaft 303, and only a radial component force is required to be applied to the first spherical body 302 by the first inclined portion 3031 through the axial movement of the driving shaft 303, so that the first spherical body 302 can be pushed to move along the second through hole 30111.
Preferably, the first inclined portion 3031 may be disposed in two positions as shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, and the inclination directions of the upper and lower first inclined portions 3031 are opposite, so that a closed region may be formed between the two inclined portions, the hole wall of the first through hole 3013 and the first ball 302, which may prevent external impurities from entering the closed region along the first through hole 3013 and interfering with the movement of the first ball 302, and the two inclined portions may be disposed to drive the first ball 302 more flexibly.
In a specific implementation process, in an initial state, one end of the first inclined portion 3031 with a smaller cross-sectional area is at the same height position as the first ball 302; at this time, the columnar portion 3011 of the first base 301 may be inserted into the third through hole 40111 of the corresponding connection flange 4011 under the driving of the first driving device 2 until one side end face of the connection flange 4011 is attached to one side end face of the flange portion 3012 of the first base 301, and since the first ball 302 does not protrude out of the outer wall of the columnar portion 3011 at this time, the first ball 302 does not form a barrier to the connection flange 4011; the driving shaft 303 can then be driven by the fourth driving device 304 to move linearly, so as to push the first ball 302 to move outwards along the second through hole 30111 through the first inclined portion 3031 until the first ball 302 abuts on the second inclined portion 40112, and the specific inclination direction of the second inclined portion 40112 is as shown in fig. 5 and fig. 6, at this time, the first ball 302 can generate a component force radially outwards on the second inclined portion 40112 and a component force towards the flange portion 3012, and the component force towards the flange portion 3012 can press the connecting flange 4011 onto the flange portion 3012, so as to achieve connection and fixation between the docking assembly 401 and the positioning assembly 3, and thus the clamping fixture 4 can be conveniently positioned and connected to the first driving device 2.
It should be noted that, because each of the first spheres 302 and the second inclined portion 40112 are in point contact, the positioning assembly 3 can have an automatic aligning function, so that a position deviation when the columnar portion 3011 of the first base 301 is inserted into the third through hole 40111 of the corresponding connecting flange 4011 can be eliminated, and a jamming phenomenon is effectively avoided, thereby reducing horizontal accuracy requirements of the positioning assembly 3 and the clamping fixture 4, and improving applicability thereof. Preferably, the number of the second through holes 30111 and the first spheres 302 may be eight and are uniformly arranged along the circumferential direction at intervals, so as to improve the connection stability of the positioning assembly 3 and the docking assembly 401.
It is understood that the fourth driving device 304 can be communicatively connected to the processing module, and the fourth driving device 304 is triggered to drive the driving shaft 303 by a detection signal indicating that the pillar portion 3011 of the first base 301 is completely inserted into the third through hole 40111, so as to automatically complete the fastening operation between the positioning assembly 3 and the docking assembly 401. Specifically, the detection signal may be a detection signal of a relative distance between the connection flange 4011 and the flange portion 3012 of the first base 301 detected by a proximity sensor or a distance sensor.
Optionally, referring to fig. 1 to 6, the aperture of the second through hole 30111 gradually decreases along a direction close to the first through hole 3013, an annular groove is formed on the cylindrical surface of the columnar portion 3011, and the positioning assembly 3 further includes a first elastic limiting ring 305;
the first elastic limiting ring 305 is sleeved in the annular groove, and an inner annular wall of the first elastic limiting ring 305 is attached to the first sphere 302, so as to pull the first sphere 302 to move toward the first through hole 3013 by elastic force.
In the above embodiments, the aperture of the second through hole 30111 is generally set to be a trumpet shape gradually increasing in a direction approaching the first through hole 3013 along the axial direction, and the minimum aperture of the second through hole 30111 is smaller than the diameter of the first spherical body 302, so that the first spherical body 302 can be prevented from falling from the end of the second through hole 30111 facing outwards; however, this structure is inconvenient to process, and the movement of the first sphere 302 in the second through hole 30111 cannot be sufficiently constrained, so it is difficult to ensure that the first sphere 302 and the driving shaft 303 always keep close to each other and the driving shaft 303 can stably drive the first sphere 302 to move along the predetermined path.
In view of the above, the present embodiment changes the second through hole 30111 into a trumpet shape that gradually decreases in a direction axially closer to the first through hole 3013, and arranges the first elastic limiting ring 305 to limit the movement of the first ball 302. Specifically, the first elastic limiting ring 305 may be an O-ring, and the opening region of the annular groove may have an intersecting portion with one end of the plurality of second through holes 30111 facing outward, so that the O-ring sleeved in the annular groove may simultaneously generate a pulling force that contracts toward the center on the first ball 302 in the plurality of second through holes 30111, thereby pulling the plurality of first balls 302 to abut against the first inclined portion 3031 at the same time, and simultaneously preventing the first ball 302 from falling from one end of the second through hole 30111 facing outward. The minimum aperture of the first through hole 3013 may be smaller than the diameter of the first ball 302, so as to limit the first ball 302, and prevent the first ball 302 from entering the first through hole 3013 too much to cause the first elastic limiting ring 305 to be unable to keep in contact with the first ball 302 when the first ball 302 moves inward along the radial direction (i.e. toward the first through hole 3013). Through the arrangement, the movement of the first ball body 302 in the second through hole 30111 can be better restrained, so that the first ball body 302 and the first inclined portion 3031 can be ensured to be always attached to each other, and the driving shaft 303 can stably drive the first ball body 302 to move along the preset path.
Optionally, referring to fig. 1 to 7, the annular groove covers the second through hole 30111 (see fig. 5 and 6), a plurality of fourth through holes (not shown in the drawings) are formed on the ring wall of the first elastic limiting ring 305 at intervals along the circumferential direction, the plurality of fourth through holes are opposite to the second through hole 30111 one by one, and the aperture of the fourth through holes is smaller than the diameter of the first sphere 302.
In this embodiment, the first elastic limiting ring 305 may be an elastic ring member with a rectangular cross section, and the groove width of the annular groove is equal to or slightly greater than the height of the first elastic limiting ring 305, so that the first elastic limiting ring 305 engaged in the annular groove can cover each of the second through holes 30111. The contact surface of the fourth through hole when being attached to the first ball 302 is in a closed ring shape, the area of the contact surface is increased compared with the above mode that only one side of the first ball 302 is pulled by the O-ring, so that the elastic action of the first elastic limiting ring 305 can generate an even limiting action on the first ball 302, the first ball 302 is pulled to be abutted to the first inclined part 3031 in a mode of applying a more even force, the stability that the driving shaft 303 drives the first ball 302 to move along the preset path is further improved, and the first ball 302 can be prevented from dropping outwards from the second through hole 30111 by the larger contact area between the first elastic limiting ring 305 and the first ball 302.
Preferably, the first elastic limiting ring 305 and the annular groove may be provided with corresponding protrusions and cavities, so that when the first elastic limiting ring 305 is sleeved, the first elastic limiting ring 305 and the annular groove are quickly positioned by the cooperation of the protrusions and the cavities, and the first elastic limiting ring 305 is prevented from rotating relative to the annular groove.

the driving ring 309 is slidably fitted on the second pedestal 307, the inner annular wall of the driving ring 309 has a third inclined portion 3091, and the cross-sectional area of the third inclined portion 3091 gradually decreases in the axial direction of the driving ring 309; a fifth driving device 310 is connected with the driving ring 309, and the fifth driving device 310 is used for driving the driving ring 309 to axially slide relative to the second base 307; the driving ring 309 and the second base 307 are arranged in the accommodating cavity 3061, the connecting cavity 3071 is opposite to the connecting through hole 3062, the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 3061 is opposite to the guide groove 3072, and the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 3061 is used for abutting against the second ball 308;
the cylindrical surface of the connection column 4012 has a fourth inclined portion 40121 thereon, and the cross-sectional area of the fourth inclined portion 40121 is gradually reduced in the axial direction of the connection column 4012; the connecting column 4012 is used for being inserted into the connecting cavity 3071 through the connecting through hole 3062;
when the fifth driving means 310 drives the driving ring 309 to axially slide, the third inclined portion 3091 serves to push the second ball 308 to slide in a direction approaching the coupling recess 3071; the second spherical body 308 is adapted to abut against the fourth inclined portion 40121 to generate a pressing force component to the fourth inclined portion 40121 away from the connecting through hole 3062.
In the present embodiment, as shown in fig. 8 and 9, the fifth driving means 310 may be a device for linear driving such as an air cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or the like. The cross-sectional area of the third inclined portion 3091 may gradually decrease upward along the axial direction of the drive ring 309 or may gradually decrease downward along the axial direction of the drive ring 309, and only a radial component force is applied to the second spherical body 308 by the third inclined portion 3091 through the axial movement of the drive ring 309, so that the second spherical body 308 may be pushed to move in the radial direction. The side of the second base 307 facing away from the guide groove 3072 can be fixedly connected with the fixed seat 306, and the outer annular wall of the driving ring 309 can be simultaneously in sliding fit in the accommodating concave cavity 3061 of the fixed seat 306; a step portion formed between the housing cavity 3061 and the connecting through hole 3062 is used for abutting against the upper side surface of the second ball 308 to limit the position of the second ball 308, and a sliding channel for the second ball 308 to slide in the radial direction is formed between the step portion and the guide groove 3072.
In a specific implementation process, in an initial state, one end of the third inclined portion 3091 with a smaller cross-sectional area is at the same height position as the first spherical body 302; at this time, under the driving of the first driving device 2, the positioning assembly 3 moves in the direction approaching the docking assembly 401, so that the connection posts 4012 are inserted into the corresponding connection cavities 3071 through the connection through holes 3062, and since the second ball body 308 is not forced by the third inclined portion 3091 to protrude into the connection cavity 3071 at this time, the second ball body 308 does not form a barrier to the connection posts 4012 inserted into the connection cavity 3071; the driving ring 309 can then be driven by the fifth driving device 310 to move linearly, so as to push the second ball 308 to move in a radially inward direction along the guide groove 3072 through the third inclined portion 3091 until the second ball 308 abuts against the fourth inclined portion 40121, and a specific inclination direction of the fourth inclined portion 40121 is as shown in fig. 8 and 9, at this time, the second ball 308 can generate a radially inward component force and a component force facing away from the connecting through hole 3062 to the fourth inclined portion 40121, and the component force facing away from the connecting through hole 3062 can tighten the connecting column 4012, so that the positioning assembly 3 and the docking assembly 401 are abutted (specifically, a plane on the docking assembly 401 where the connecting column 4012 is mounted is abutted against a side on the fixing base 306 facing away from the bottom wall of the accommodating cavity 3061), so as to achieve a connection fixation between the docking assembly 401 and the positioning assembly 3, and thus the clamping jig 4 can be conveniently positioned and connected to the first driving device 2.
It should be noted that, because each of the second spheres 308 and the fourth inclined portion 40121 are in point contact, the positioning assembly 3 can have an automatic aligning function, so that the position deviation of the connecting column 4012 inserted into the connecting cavity 3071 can be eliminated, and the occurrence of a locking phenomenon is effectively avoided, thereby reducing the horizontal accuracy requirements of the positioning assembly 3 and the clamping jig 4, and improving the applicability thereof. Preferably, the number of the guide grooves 3072 and the second balls 308 may be eight and are uniformly arranged at intervals in the circumferential direction, so as to improve the connection stability of the positioning assembly 3 and the docking assembly 401.
