Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of jigs, and specifically to an anti-fooling automatic jig for laser water valve welding. Background Art

[0002] A jig refers to a device used in the mechanical manufacturing process to fix the processing object, making it occupy the correct position to receive construction or inspection, also known as a fixture. Broadly speaking, any device used in any process of the technological process to quickly, conveniently, and safely install the workpiece can be called a jig. A jig usually consists of positioning elements (to determine the correct position of the workpiece in the jig), a clamping device, a tool alignment and guiding element (to determine the relative position between the tool and the workpiece or guide the tool direction), a indexing device (to enable the workpiece to complete the processing of several workstations in one installation, including two categories: rotary indexing devices and linear moving indexing devices), connecting elements, and a jig body (the jig base), etc.

[0003] Most of the existing welding of plastic products still uses traditional plastic welding methods. Traditional plastic welding refers to a connection method that uses heat to simultaneously melt the contact surfaces of two plastic parts, so as to combine them into a whole. It is only applicable to the connection of thermoplastic plastics, with low welding efficiency. For workpieces with complex shapes such as three-way and four-way water valves, there are requirements for welding angles and welding airtightness. It is very difficult to achieve precise welding with traditional welding methods and manual operations. Moreover, the existing welding auxiliary jigs are troublesome to operate and only fix the workpiece. For the circumferential welding of pipe-like parts, traditional plastic welding methods are generally still used, with low efficiency and poor welding quality. Summary of the Invention
