Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sheet metal solder joint detection, and particularly relates to a rapid test device for sheet metal solder joints of new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] The body structure of new energy vehicles mostly uses sheet metal parts connected by welding. As the key part connecting each sheet metal component, the quality of the solder joints directly affects the overall structural strength of the body. If there are defects in the solder joints, such as false soldering, missed soldering, insufficient welding strength, etc., during the driving of the vehicle, especially when subjected to external forces such as bumps and collisions, the connection between the body sheet metal parts may become loose or break, thereby affecting the overall structural integrity of the vehicle and being unable to effectively protect the lives of passengers in the vehicle. For example, a sheet metal solder joint detection device proposed in the patent publication number CN102944465B.

[0003] Since the seaside is usually an area with a relatively fragile and sensitive ecological environment, new energy vehicles are powered by electricity and do not produce exhaust emissions, which can effectively reduce pollution to the marine environment and coastal air quality, and protect the marine ecosystem and the living environment of coastal residents. Therefore, some coastal cities have introduced a series of new energy vehicle purchase subsidy policies, resulting in an increasing number of new energy vehicles in coastal cities. For new energy vehicles driving along the coast for a long time, the solder joints of the sheet metal parts are eroded by the salt in the water vapor. Compared with vehicles driving in dry inland areas, the strength of their solder joints drops faster. In addition, the welds at positions such as the body pillars and the edges of the doors are vertical, and the space at these parts is narrow, which will limit the line of sight of the inspectors and is not convenient for manual inspection.

[0004] Therefore, a rapid test device for sheet metal solder joints of new energy vehicles is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0025] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: Weld the sheet metal parts at the positions such as the body pillars and door edges of new energy vehicles, and then move the mounting seat 5 above the sheet metal parts through the robotic arm mechanism 2, and make the two test plates 21 located on the left and right sides of the sheet metal parts. Then the operator adsorbs the electric suction cup 7 on the side wall of the sheet metal part, aligns the ultrasonic probe 6 with the weld points on the surface of the sheet metal part. Next, the operator sends an electrical signal to the PLC controller 3 through an external control panel. After receiving the electrical signal, the PLC controller 3 first controls the second electric push rod 25 to work, and the second electric push rod 25 will drive the test box 131 and the two test plates 21 to move downward together, so that the test plates 21 are located on the left and right sides of the sheet metal part. Then the PLC controller 3 controls the test motor 14 to work; The test motor 14 is controlled to rotate the threaded rod 132, and through the thread fit, the two threaded cylinders 15 are driven to move towards each other. The threaded cylinders 15 drive the horizontal box 17, the test block 18, the bent rod 20 and the test plate 21 to move towards the sheet metal part through the guide plate 16, so that the left and right sides of the test plate 21 are in contact with the sheet metal part. When one test plate 21 first contacts the sheet metal part and the other test plate 21 does not contact the sheet metal part, a mutual acting force will be generated between the test plate 21 that first contacts the sheet metal part and the sheet metal part. Under the action of the mutual acting force, the test box 131 will drive the second electric push rod 25, the moving frame 12 and the limit block 81 to gradually move towards the sheet metal part until the other test plate 21 contacts the other side of the sheet metal part. When the other test plate 21 contacts the sheet metal part, mutual acting forces will be generated between both test plates 21 and the sheet metal part. Pressure sensors are provided on the side walls of the two test plates 21 close to the sheet metal part. After detecting the extrusion force between the two test plates 21 and the sheet metal part through the pressure sensors, the two pressure sensors will send an electrical signal to the PLC controller 3. After receiving this electrical signal, the PLC controller 3 will control the test motor 14 to stop working. At the same time, the PLC controller 3 will also control the limit electric push rod 9 to drive the rough plate 10 to move upward by a set distance, and through the friction between the rough plate 10 and the rough seat 11, the positions of the limit block 81, the second electric push rod 25, the test box 131 and the test plate 21 are fixed. Then the PLC controller 3 controls the first electric push rod 4 to work reciprocally. The first electric push rod 4 will drive the mounting seat 5, the test box 131, the test plate 21 and the upper half of the two welded sheet metal parts to move left and right. The lower part of the sheet metal part is fixed to the vehicle body and will not move. When the upper half of the two sheet metal parts is pushed to rotate, due to the thickness of the sheet metal part, during the rotation process, the offset of the upper half will cause a tendency of relative movement on the contact surface, thereby generating a shearing force on the solder joint between the two sheet metal parts, and the solder joint is damaged by the shearing force. At the same time, the ultrasonic probe 6 is used to detect the solder joint. When it is detected that the solder joint is damaged, the PLC controller 3 will control the air supply electric push rod 28 to work reciprocally once, and at the same time will also control the first electromagnetic check valve 50 inside the air delivery pipe 49 to open. The air supply electric push rod 28 will control the lifting plate 29 to press down the telescopic airbag 30, so that the gas inside the telescopic airbag 30 is transported to the display cylinder 48 through the vertical pipe 31, the support pipe 33 and the air delivery pipe 49, increasing the air pressure below the piston plate 52. The piston plate 52 will push the reading column 53 to move upward by a scaled distance. At the same time, the PLC controller 3 will also control the external prompting device to work (the prompting device is a buzzer), reminding the operator to detect the solder joint of another sheet metal part; Similarly, when the air pressure sensor inside the storage box 221 detects a decrease in the internal air pressure of the storage box 221, the PLC controller 3 will repeat the above steps and control the second electromagnetic check valve 56 inside the pressure pipe 34 to be energized, so that external gas can be continuously transported into the storage box 221 for storage. And when the air supply electric push rod 28 drives the telescopic airbag 30 to move upward, the air pressure inside the telescopic airbag 30 will decrease, and the external gas will enter the telescopic airbag 30 for storage through the horizontal pipe 32 and the air delivery check valve 35; When the solder joints of the sheet metal parts are not damaged, the PLC controller 3 will control the test motor 14 to work in reverse, separating the two test plates 21 from the sheet metal parts. Then, the PLC controller 3 will control the second electric push rod 25 to drive the test box 131 to move upward by a certain distance, moving the two test plates 21 above the sheet metal parts. Then, the PLC controller 3 controls the test motor 14 to continue working forward, controlling the two test plates 21 to merge together, so that the two test plates 21 are directly above the sheet metal parts. Then, the PLC controller 3 controls the positioning electric push rod 371 to drive the positioning box 372 and the telescopic cylinder 42 to move downward, so that the position of the lower end plane of the telescopic cylinder 42 is lower than the position of the lower end plane of the test plate 21, and the positioning box 372 and the telescopic cylinder 42 are arranged behind the right test plate 21. And after the two test plates 21 are merged, the central axis of the joint between the two merged test plates 21 and the plug board 45 is on the same vertical plane. Then, the PLC controller 3 controls the second electric push rod 25 to drive the test box 131, the positioning box 372, and the telescopic cylinder 42 to move downward together. When the extrusion switch 36 on the side wall of the telescopic cylinder 42 contacts the upper side wall of the sheet metal part, the PLC controller 3 will control the second electric push rod 25 to stop working. At the same time, the PLC controller 3 controls the electromagnetic plate 47 to cut off the power and lose magnetism. Under the action of the spring tension, the permanent magnet plate 46 will drive the plug rod 44 and the plug board 45 to move downward, making the plug board 45 contact the upper surface of the sheet metal part. Then, control the first electric push rod 4 to drive the mounting seat 5, the second electric push rod 25, the test box 131, the positioning box 372, the telescopic cylinder 42, and the plug board 45 to move left and right on the upper surface of the sheet metal part with a gradually increasing amplitude. When the plug board 45 moves and inserts into the weld of the sheet metal part, the weld will exert a resistance on the plug board 45, and the plug board 45 will drive the telescopic cylinder 42, the fixed plate 41, and the positioning block 38 to stop working immediately. However, the positioning box 372 still moves under the push of the first electric push rod 4, so that the positioning block 38 drives the trigger frame 39 to slide relative in the positioning box 372, and the trigger frame 39 and the trigger plate 40 will contact (the distance between the trigger frame 39 and the trigger plate 40 is 0.01 mm). The trigger frame 39 is electrically connected to an external power source, and the trigger plate 40 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 3. When the trigger frame 39 and the trigger plate 40 contact, an electrical signal will be immediately transmitted to the PLC controller 3. After receiving this electrical signal, the PLC controller 3 will immediately control the first electric push rod 4 to stop working. At this time, the lower pointed parts of the two merged test plates 21 will stay at a distance of 0.01 mm from the central axis of the weld (the minimum weld width of the sheet metal parts of new energy vehicles is 0.1 - 2 mm). Then, the PLC controller 3 controls the second electric push rod 25 to drive the lower pointed parts of the merged test plates 21 to insert into the weld. Then, the PLC controller 3 controls the test motor 14 to work in reverse for 0.In 5 seconds, referring to the above principle, the two test plates 21 will move one centimeter away from each other to tear the weld of the sheet metal part. At this time, the ultrasonic probe 6 is still used to detect the quality of the solder joints. When problems are detected, the above steps will be repeated. The reading column 53 will be controlled to move upward by a calibrated distance, and at the same time, the external prompting device (the prompting device is a buzzer) will be controlled to work to remind the operator to detect the solder joints of another sheet metal part. When the detection result is okay, the PLC controller 3 will control the control valve 26 to open for two seconds, so that the corrosion solution inside the storage box 221 (the solution is an acetate salt spray solution, composition: on the basis of a 5% sodium chloride solution, an appropriate amount of glacial acetic acid is added to lower the pH value of the solution to about 3, forming an acidic salt spray environment, corrosion principle: in addition to the corrosion effect of chloride ions, the acidic environment will further exacerbate the corrosion of metals because metals are more likely to lose electrons and undergo oxidation reactions under acidic conditions) is used to corrode the solder joints for one hour. Then the PLC controller 3 will repeat the above detection steps to detect the strength of the solder joints, simulate the state where the solder joints are eroded by the salt in the water vapor by the sea for a long time, and then test the strength of the solder joints of the sheet metal part, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and diversity of the test data.
