The plurality of driving rollers 311 and the plurality of follower rollers 321 are arranged along the length (perimeter) direction of the cylinder, and the bottom of the cylinder is arranged on the plurality of driving rollers 311 and the plurality of follower rollers 321 and moves along with the rotation of the driving rollers 311 and the rotation of the follower rollers 321.
Further, as shown in fig. 13 and 15, the adjusting component 33 is composed of a third wedge 331, two fourth wedges 332 adapted to the wedge surfaces at the bottom of the third wedge 331, and an adjusting screw 333, wherein the third wedge 331 is disposed at the top of the two fourth wedges 332, the wedge surfaces at the two ends of the bottom of the third wedge 331 are inclined from inside to outside and upward, and the wedge surfaces at the top of the fourth wedge 332 are adapted to the wedge surfaces at the bottom of the third wedge 331, so that when the two fourth wedges 332 relatively move or deviate from each other, the height of the third wedge 331 can be adjusted.
Further, the inside of the two fourth wedges 332 is provided with third threaded holes 3321, and the directions of the threads of the two third threaded holes 3321 are opposite; two ends of the adjusting screw 333 are respectively in threaded connection with two third threaded holes 3321; the adjusting screw 333 penetrates the two fourth wedges 332 and moves the two fourth wedges 332 toward or away from each other. The two fourth wedges 332 are respectively located at two ends of the top of the base 34, a screw limiting seat 334 is fixedly arranged in the middle of the top of the base 34, two second limiting blocks 3331 are arranged on the adjusting screw 333, and a screw section of the adjusting screw 333 located between the two second limiting blocks 3331 penetrates through the screw limiting seat 334 and is used for limiting the adjusting screw 333 to generate axial movement. One end of the adjusting screw 333 is in transmission connection with a second driving motor, a pressure sensor is arranged on the contact wedge surface of the fourth wedge 332 and the third wedge 331, the second driving motor drives the adjusting screw 333 to rotate, and the two fourth wedges 332 can automatically move simultaneously.
The operation of the device will be described in detail with reference to the drawings in the embodiments.
The second driving motor drives the adjusting screw 333 to rotate, and the two fourth wedges 332 simultaneously move towards the middle (outwards), so that the third wedge 331 moves upwards (downwards), and high (low) adjustment is realized; the driving roller 311 is mounted on the corresponding third wedge block 331, the follow-up roller 321 is mounted on the corresponding third wedge block 331, the first driving motor 312 drives the driving roller 311 to rotate, and overall height adjustment and rotation of the driving roller 311 and the follow-up roller 321 can be realized: the height adjustment ensures that each roller can be contacted with the cylinder, ensures the contact force and can realize levelness adjustment of the cylinder, thereby ensuring the perpendicularity of the longitudinal weld; the rotation can realize the rotation of the cylinder body, thereby realizing the position adjustment of the longitudinal seam of the cylinder body.
And the height self-adaptive adjusting mode comprises the following steps: the second driving motor of the adjusting screw 333 can be matched with a displacement sensor in the height direction, so that the second driving motor of the adjusting screw 333 can automatically rotate; when the target height is changed, the second driving motor can automatically rotate to enable the driving roller 311 or the following roller 321 to achieve self-adaptive adjustment of the target height; the constant pressure contact force control of the contact surface of the driving roller 311 or the following roller 321 can be realized by matching with a pressure sensor and the like: when the pressure sensor is configured, the third wedge 331 can be set to be 2 parts, a mounting position of the pressure sensor is added between the 2 parts, and the pressure sensor can receive a pressure signal in the vertical direction;
A guide mechanism is arranged between the third wedge block 331 and the fourth wedge block 332, and the restriction in the vertical direction can be realized by means of the dead weight of the cylinder body or the locking screw; a pre-pressing spring may be disposed, and the pre-pressing spring may be mounted on the upper plane of the third wedge 331, so that the pre-pressing spring applies an elastic force to the third wedge 331 to achieve the attachment of the third wedge 331 and the fourth wedge 332.
The mechanism can be horizontally used after being rotated by 90 degrees, and the position adjustment of the horizontal position (not used in the working condition) is realized.
A spring mechanism can be added between the third wedge block 331 and the driving roller 311 to realize flexible contact control of the driving roller 311: the third wedge 331 can be set to 2 parts, a spring mounting position is added between the 2 parts, the contact force between the driving roller 311 and the cylinder is transmitted by the spring, and the driving roller 311 and the cylinder can be ensured to be always contacted even if the height of the cylinder is slightly changed due to the fact that the spring can be stretched and compressed, so that flexible contact control is realized.
When the invention is applied to friction stir welding of a cylinder body, the position of a welding line is adjusted by adjusting the height and rotating, so that the longitudinal joint of the cylinder body is vertical to the horizontal plane.
The working process of the tool is described in detail below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments.
Before discharging, the two semicircular hoop bodies 112 are synchronously opened, the cylinder body is placed into a clamp by a lifting tool (coarse positioning is carried out through a preset baffle 322 on a follow-up assembly 32 below the cylinder body), and the cylinder drives the hoop 11 to tightly hold the cylinder body, so that the initial positioning of the cylinder body is realized; the hoop 11 is opened again, the first driving motor 312 drives the driving roller 311 to rotate, so that the cylinder is driven to rotate, and after the welding seam rotates in place, the welding seam position detection sensor gives out a signal, and the rotation of the cylinder is stopped; meanwhile, a welding seam position sensor works to detect whether the welding seam is inclined, when the welding seam is inclined, software calculates the height to be adjusted at the position of the adjusting component 33 through an algorithm, and the adjusting component 33 realizes automatic height adjustment through motor driving (or can manually adjust the adjusting component 33) so as to adjust the welding seam to a position vertical to a horizontal plane; the hoop 11 is clasped again, and the positioning and clamping of the cylinder are completed;
