[0018] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments.
[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a stress-relieving fixture for welding a stamped crossbeam of an automobile roof to a vehicle frame includes a first support platform 1 and a second support platform 2. The top of the first support platform 1 is fixed with a fixture body 5, and the top of the second support platform 2 is equipped with two electric telescopic support rods 3. The top ends of the two electric telescopic support rods 3 are fixed with auxiliary support plates 4. The auxiliary support plates 4 conform to the bottom curve of the vehicle frame and provide auxiliary support to the vehicle frame from below. When the fixture body 5 fixes the vehicle frame and the stamped crossbeam of the automobile roof, the auxiliary support plates 4 are used to distribute the weight of the vehicle frame.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the fixture body 5 includes a fixed plate 501. A first adjusting telescopic rod 505 and a second adjusting telescopic rod 506 are respectively provided above and below the fixed plate 501. A connecting rod 507 is rotatably inserted through one side of the fixed plate 501. A second rotating plate 510 and a first rotating plate 509 are fixed to the outside of the connecting rod 507. A pivot pin is rotatably inserted through the ends of both the first adjusting telescopic rod 505 and the second adjusting telescopic rod 506. The first adjusting telescopic rod 505 and the second adjusting telescopic rod 506 are rotatably connected to the fixed plate 501, the second rotating plate 510, and the first rotating plate 509 respectively via the pivot pin. An upper clamping plate 503 is fixed on the upper surface of 510. An adjustable connecting plate 512 is provided above the upper clamping plate 503. A connecting clamping plate 504 is connected to the end of the adjustable connecting plate 512 away from the upper clamping plate 503. A lower clamping plate 502 is fixed on the upper surface of the first rotating plate 509. The curvature of the lower clamping plate 502 is the same as the curvature of the auxiliary support plate 4. The upper clamping plate 503 and the connecting clamping plate 504 are used to press the car roof stamping crossbeam from above, while the lower clamping plate 502 is used to clamp from the bottom of the frame, thereby fixing the car roof stamping crossbeam to the frame and preventing vibration or shaking of the car roof stamping crossbeam or the frame during the welding process.
[0021] The adjustable connecting plate 512 is connected to a short shaft through the end above the upper clamping plate 503. The end of the short shaft is rotatably inserted into the upper clamping plate 503. Torsion springs are provided between the two ends of the short shaft and the upper clamping plate 503. The torsion springs are used to apply downward pressure to the adjustable connecting plate 512, so that the adjustable connecting plate 512 drives the connecting clamping plate 504 to press the frame from above.
[0022] The upper surface of the upper clamping plate 503 is provided with a snap-fit groove 511, and the bottom surface of the adjustable connecting plate 512 is provided with a guide groove. The top of the guide groove is an inclined slope. An adjusting plate 508 is slidably provided on the inner side of the snap-fit groove 511. One end of the adjusting plate 508 is bent upward and snapped into the inner side of the guide groove, and the other end of the adjusting plate 508 is slidably inserted into the inner side of the snap-fit groove 511. An adjusting magnet 517 is fixed at the end of the adjusting plate 508 located inside the snap-fit groove 511. By controlling the adjusting plate 508 to slide into the inner side of the snap-fit groove 511, the adjusting plate 508 moves by pressing the inclined slope of the guide groove, thereby realizing the upward rotation of the adjustable connecting plate 512 and opening the adjustable connecting plate 512.
[0023] An adjusting electromagnet 514 is fixed inside the snap-fit groove 511. An adjusting limit block 516 is also detachably installed on the inner side of the snap-fit groove 511. When the adjusting electromagnet 514 is energized, it magnetically attracts the adjusting magnet 517. An adjusting reset spring 515 is provided between the adjusting electromagnet 514 and the end of the adjusting plate 508. The adjusting limit block 516 is used to limit the stroke of the adjusting plate 508 to prevent the adjusting plate 508 from falling off the inner side of the snap-fit groove 511. The adjusting reset spring 515 is used to reset the adjusting plate 508 after it is attracted and moved.
[0024] One end of the adjustable connecting plate 512 is attached to the upper surface of the connecting clamp 504. The upper surface of the connecting clamp 504 is provided with a reinforcing and limiting module 513. A limiting hole 518 is opened on the upper surface of the end of the adjustable connecting plate 512 that contacts the connecting clamp 504. The reinforcing and limiting module 513 is used to fix the end of the adjustable connecting plate 512 to the connecting clamp 504, thereby ensuring that the upper clamp 503 moves simultaneously with the connecting clamp 504 through the adjustable connecting plate 512.
[0025] like Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the reinforcement and restraint module 513 includes a rotating base 5131 and a positioning column 5133. The bottom end of the positioning column 5133 is fixed to the upper surface of the connecting clamp 504, and a rotating shaft 5132 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the positioning column 5133. The rotating base 5131 is penetrated by the rotating shaft 5132 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 5132. A transmission gear 5134 is fixed to the outer side of the top end of the rotating shaft 5132. A rotating gear 5135 meshes with one side of the transmission gear 5134. A rotary motor 5136 is provided at the bottom. The rotary motor 5136 is fixed to the surface of the connecting clamp 504, and the output shaft of the rotary motor 5136 passes through the rotary gear 5135 and is fixed to the rotary gear 5135. The rotary motor 5136, the rotary gear 5135, the transmission gear 5134, and the rotary shaft 5132 drive the rotating seat 5131 to rotate, thereby moving the rotating seat 5131 away from the top of the adjustable connecting plate 512, thus ensuring that the adjustable connecting plate 512 can rotate upward.
[0026] The rotating base 5131 has a fixed limiting electromagnet 5137 inside, and a magnetic limiting post 5138 is slidably installed at the bottom of the rotating base 5131. When the limiting electromagnet 5137 is energized, it magnetically attracts the magnetic limiting post 5138. A limiting spring 5130 is provided between the limiting electromagnet 5137 and the magnetic limiting post 5138, and the bottom end of the magnetic limiting post 5138 extends to the inside of the limiting hole 518. By inserting the magnetic limiting post 5138 into the inside of the limiting hole 518, the rotating base 5131 fixes the end of the adjustable connecting plate 512, thereby ensuring the connection and operation consistency between the connecting clamp 504 and the upper clamp 503.
[0027] The magnetic limiting post 5138 is fitted with an anti-detachment sleeve 5139 on its outer side. The anti-detachment sleeve 5139 is detachably installed on the bottom of the rotating seat 5131. The anti-detachment sleeve 5139 is used to restrict the position of the magnetic limiting post 5138, thereby preventing the magnetic limiting post 5138 from falling out of the rotating seat 5131.
[0028] A welding system for stamped crossbeams of automobile roofs to vehicle frames includes a stress-relieving fixture for welding stamped crossbeams of automobile roofs to vehicle frames.
[0029] When welding the stamped crossbeam of the car roof to the frame, the stamped crossbeam of the car roof is placed on the surface of two fixed plates 501, and the frame is placed on the upper surface of two auxiliary support plates 4. The auxiliary support plates 4 are lifted by the support electric telescopic rod 3 so that the frame and the stamped crossbeam of the car roof fit together. At this time, the first adjusting telescopic rod 505 and the second adjusting telescopic rod 506 are energized and activated. The end of the first adjusting telescopic rod 505 extends and pushes the second rotating plate 510 and the upper clamping plate 503 to rotate downward, so that the upper clamping plate 503 applies pressure from above the stamped crossbeam of the car roof. At the same time, the connecting clamping plate 504 applies pressure to the frame by means of the adjustable connecting plate 512. Meanwhile, the end of the second adjusting telescopic rod 506 extends and drives the first rotating plate 509 to rotate upward, so that the first rotating plate 509 applies pressure from the bottom of the frame. Thus, the stamped crossbeam of the car roof is fixed to the frame through the upper clamping plate 503, the connecting clamping plate 504, and the lower clamping plate 502, so as to avoid vibration or shaking of the stamped crossbeam of the car roof and the frame during welding. During welding, the connection between the stamped crossbeam of the car roof and the frame is welded using argon arc welding equipment or electric arc welding equipment. During the welding process, as the welding torch moves closer to the adjustable connecting plate 512, the limiting electromagnet 5137 is energized and attracts the magnetic limiting post 5138 upward, causing the end of the magnetic limiting post 5138 to separate from the inside of the limiting hole 518, and the limiting spring 5130 is compressed. At this time, the rotary motor 5136 drives the rotating shaft 5132 and the rotating seat 5131 to rotate through the rotating gear 5135 and the transmission gear 5134, causing the rotating seat 5131 to move away from the top of the end of the adjustable connecting plate 512. At this point, the electromagnet 514 is energized and magnetically attracts the adjusting magnet 517, causing the adjusting plate 508 to move into the locking groove 511 and compressing the adjusting return spring 515. As the adjusting plate 508 moves, it presses against the inclined surface of the guide groove, causing the adjustable connecting plate 512 to rotate upwards. After the adjustable connecting plate 512 rotates, a gap appears between the upper clamping plate 503 and the connecting clamping plate 504. This gap allows the welding torch to pass through. After the welding torch passes through the rotated adjustable connecting plate 512, the power to the adjusting electromagnet 514 is cut off, and the adjusting return spring 515 is restored. The spring 515 drives the adjusting plate 508 to reset. The adjustable connecting plate 512 resets under the action of gravity and torsion spring and contacts the connecting clamp 504 again. At this time, the rotating seat 5131 is rotated and reset, and the magnetic limiting post 5138 is locked inside the limiting hole 518 to fix the adjustable connecting plate 512. This realizes the reconnection of the upper clamp 503 and the connecting clamp 504, which can ensure that the welding gun can move freely during welding, and at the same time ensure that the upper clamp 503 and the connecting clamp 504 are always in the connected state.
[0030] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from its spirit or essential characteristics. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims are intended to be included within the present invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
