The application discloses a
bus multi-material resistance
welding process and a gradient current-distribution
electrode structure and belongs to the technical field of resistance
welding.The application integrates an
electrode quick-change mechanism in a single
welding station, can automatically switch a
chromium-
zirconium-
copper inlaid
tungsten-
copper electrode and a
graphite electrode, respectively completes two types of welding procedures of
copper braided wire-copper plate and copper plate-L-shaped copper bent plate, adopts a gradient current-distribution electrode with a
waist-shaped through groove on a working surface in a matched mode, realizes uniform distribution of current in a large-area welding area with a size of 21*15 mm or above, simultaneously constructs a full-process automatic
production line of "welding-
air knife cleaning-CCD
visual detection-automatic sorting", and effectively solves problems of uneven welding current of large-area copper workpieces, low electrode change efficiency, easy interference of detection by cooling water and the like, electrode
switching time is less than or equal to 5 s, the welding point drawing force is stable, the
bus welding full-process unmanned operation can be realized, and production efficiency and product consistency are greatly improved.
