Description

In order to reduce the larger negative influence caused by the overlarge change of the working surface state of the electrode, the working end part of the electrode is polished regularly in production, so that the aim of restricting the quality dispersion of welding spots within an acceptable range is fulfilled by the countermeasure that the diameter of the working end part and the surface state of the electrode are limited within a certain fluctuation range.
The electrode coping device is mainly intended to achieve the following purposes: firstly, the diameter of the working surface of the electrode which is increased is restored to an initial set value, and a necessary condition is created for controlling the nugget diameter of the welding spot; secondly, removing a new oxide forming layer formed on the working surface of the electrode in the previous spot welding process, and creating necessary conditions for improving the quality of welding spots and reducing the cost of a spot welding process; thirdly, the two polished electrode working surfaces are guaranteed to be parallel to the workpiece surface during spot welding operation, the effective contact area and the feeding capacity of the electrode working surfaces and the workpiece surface are improved, and necessary conditions are created for improving the quality of welding spots and reducing the cost of a spot welding process.
The electrode automatic grinding device of the prior art mainly has the following defects:
(1) The grinding principle of the electrode automatic grinding device in the prior art is similar, and has the following common properties: firstly, because the outline shape of the cutting edge section of the sharpening or shaping tool for the electrode working surface part is arc-shaped, the initial state of the sharpened electrode working surface is a spherical surface with the same curvature radius as the cutting edge of the tool, and the planar contact between the electrode working surface and the workpiece surface is difficult to realize under the condition of ensuring the quality of the welding spot surface, the actual power feeding capacity of the electrode working surface, the quality assurance of the welding spot and the like directly form negative effects; secondly, the welding pliers do not have the compensation capability of deflection of the working surface of the electrode, which is caused by the necessary deflection deformation of the welding pliers arm during the spot welding operation, the inclination angle of the holding rod of the electrode and the like, and the feeding capability of the working surface of the electrode and the quality assurance of welding spots continuously form negative effects in the continuous spot welding process.
(2) When the electrode is sharpened or shaped, the sharpening essence of the cutting edge of the cutting tool is scraping or the combined action result of compression and scraping, and the purpose of scraping or shaping can be realized by providing enough pressure for the cutting edge of the cutting tool, so that the service life of the cutting tool is limited; the scraping force or shaping force of the cutting edge of the cutting tool to electrode sharpening is established by electrode pressure and cutting tool rotation torque together, the scraping force or shaping force and the sharpening amount of each time are positively related to the blunting condition of the cutting edge, and if the aim of ensuring that a newly formed layer on the electrode surface can be effectively removed during each sharpening is achieved, the unnecessary cutting amount must be set to be large enough.

Fig. 18 to 19 respectively show two types of electrodes used in production, including a spherical electrode 62 and a truncated cone electrode 63, wherein the selection of the cambered surface cutting tool 22 and the truncated cone cutting tool 58 in the electrode automatic sharpening device is determined by the requirement of the production site on the appearance of the spherical electrode 62 or the truncated cone electrode 63 used.
The working process of the electrode grinding device is as follows:
when the electrode holder carries the spherical electrode 62 or the truncated cone-shaped electrode 63 to be polished to the electrode polishing position, the lower end surfaces of the electrode holding rods at two sides are in contact with the upper surfaces of the limiting plates 20 at two sides on the cutting displacement mechanism to limit the positions, and the accurate positioning is realized by the contact between the first electrode positioning holes 321 arranged on the left rotary cover 18 and the second electrode positioning holes 322 arranged on the right rotary cover 43 and the first electrode working end side 651 and the second electrode working end side 652 to be polished in the radial direction. After the automatic grinding device receives an in-place instruction of the spherical electrode 62 or the truncated cone-shaped electrode 63 sent by the robot, the power motor 10 of the automatic grinding device is started, and the rotating power is transmitted to the revolution gear 41 through the power input gear 37 and the power transition gear 35; when the revolution gear 41 rotates, the left rotating cover 18 and the right rotating cover 43 are driven to synchronously rotate through the connecting bolts and the limiting sleeves 42, and the cutting tool arranged between the left rotating cover 18 and the right rotating cover 43 is driven to synchronously rotate along with the revolution gear 41; because the rotation gear 31 is meshed with the fixed gear ring 45 at the same time, the combined cutting tool rotates by taking the cutter shaft 24 as the shaft according to the higher working rotation speed according to the gear ratio relation between the fixed gear ring 45 and the rotation gear 31, thereby forming the working characteristics of revolution and high-speed rotation of the electrode automatic grinding tool cutting tool in the electrode grinding process.
After the power motor 10 reaches the working rotation speed, the stepping motor 701 starts to work; after the shaft ends of the output shafts of the stepping motors 701 pass through the displacement power input gears 55, the displacement power transition gears 56 and the synchronizing gears 47, rotary power is synchronously transmitted to two displacement gears 51 which are arranged at two sides of the synchronizing gears 47 in a mirror image manner and meshed with the two displacement gears 51, and the two forward and reverse ball threaded shafts 1 are driven to synchronously rotate by the second fixed keys 50; in the synchronous rotation process of the two positive and negative ball screw shafts 1, the two pairs of positive and negative ball screw sleeves 48 with positive and negative screw threads on the two shaft ends of the two positive and negative ball screw shafts 1 can only move linearly in opposite directions along the axial direction of the two positive and negative ball screw shafts 1 and drive the two side support plates 6 to move synchronously in opposite directions, meanwhile, the spherical electrode 62 or the round table electrode 63 to be polished is gradually attached to the cutting edge of the combined cutting tool along with the limiting plates 20 on the two side support plates 6 from two sides, the grinding process of the working end part of the spherical electrode 62 or the round table electrode 63 starts to enter, and the axial feeding speed of the spherical electrode 62 or the round table electrode 63 to be polished, namely the cutting grinding speed in the electrode grinding process is determined by the rotating speed of the stepping motor 701; when the cutting and grinding displacement reaches the program preset value of the stepper motor 701, the stepper motor 701 stops working immediately and waits for the next electrode grinding instruction in situ.
When the spherical electrode 62 or the round table electrode 63 is slowly fed into the grinding process, a dynamically changing dip angle exists between the axes of the spherical electrode 62 or the round table electrode 63 on two sides and the axes of the first electrode positioning hole 321 and the second electrode positioning hole 322 of the automatic grinding device all the time, and in most cases, the dip angles on two sides are not consistent, so that the cutting stress is different when the grinding electrodes on two sides are ground; when the cutting stress is different at two sides, the follow-up swinging mechanism drives the whole working end of the automatic electrode grinding device to swing slightly in real time according to the direction of the stress gradient so as to balance the cutting stress when the electrodes at two sides are cut and ground.
The electrode coping angle compensation function is finished simultaneously by a cutting displacement control function mechanism: when the support plates 6 which are respectively arranged at the two sides of the closed shell move the coping electrode along the axial direction of the positive and negative ball screw shaft 1 in opposite directions, the inclination angle of the electrode holding rod is necessarily changed, and the electrode coping angle compensation function is to form a logic corresponding relation between the increment of the axial displacement of the electrode and the increment of the axial inclination angle change of the electrode in the electrode coping process by utilizing the program controllability of the stepping motor 701, so that the aim of synchronously realizing incremental compensation of the electrode coping angle in the positioning and moving cutting process is fulfilled.
The negative pressure generator and the power motor 10 work according to the same control instruction; the chambers enclosed between the inner surfaces of the left rotating cover 18 and the right rotating cover 43 and the inner surface of the fixed gear ring 45 are electrode grinding chambers, the electrode grinding chambers are communicated with negative pressure channels formed by a first negative pressure groove 601 and a second negative pressure groove 602 which are respectively arranged on the inner sides of the left shell 4 and the right shell 5, and the cuttings generated during electrode grinding can be immediately sucked out of a closed shell formed by the left shell 4 and the right shell 5 of the automatic grinding device through a negative pressure suction nozzle 17.
After finishing electrode polishing, when the arms on two sides of the welding tongs carry polished electrodes to withdraw from the automatic polishing device from two sides of the closed shell according to the control command, the robot simultaneously sends out a signal command that the spherical electrode 62 or the round table-shaped electrode 63 is separated from the automatic polishing device, the power motor 10 and the negative pressure generator of the automatic electrode polishing device also simultaneously stop working, and wait for the next electrode polishing command. So far, the electrode grinding mechanism and the positioning and cutting mechanism cooperate to complete a complete electrode grinding working cycle.

The electrode grinding device is arranged on a support frame, and the electrode grinding device is arranged on the support frame.
In summary, the invention realizes the grinding of the working end part of the spherical electrode 62 or the round table electrode 63 to be ground without the aid of electrode pressure and by utilizing the electrode grinding mode of revolution and high-speed rotation of the multi-edge combined cutting tool, and overcomes various negative attribute problems caused by the cutting tool structural type and cutting tool cutting principle in the prior art; the positioning and cutting mechanism creates conditions for positioning, moving, cutting and grinding electrodes of the multi-edge combined cutting tool under the condition of micro-cutting-tool-taking, so that the cutting stress of the cutting tool is reduced suddenly, and unnecessary grinding amount in the prior art is extremely compressed; the electrode coping angle compensation device provides real-time guarantee for the attachment state of the electrode working surface and the workpiece surface during spot welding operation.
