Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of pressure sensor processing, and specifically, it is a processing tool for pressure sensors. Background Art

[0002] A pressure sensor includes two diaphragm seats and a diaphragm, and during pressure detection, the deformation of the diaphragm is detected. During the processing, it is necessary to ensure that the axis lines of the two diaphragm seats are coaxial, and the diaphragm needs to be placed flatly between the two diaphragm seats. In the existing processing technology, manual alignment or even alignment components are mostly used for alignment. However, due to the still existing deviation in alignment accuracy, the two diaphragm seats are not coaxial. Even during the processing, the deviation is extremely small, but for sensors with a large range, the deviation is also extremely large. And for the high-precision field, the accuracy of the produced pressure sensors cannot meet the industrial requirements.

[0003] Moreover, the deviation of each processed sensor is different. When calibrating, there is no calibration standard, resulting in a high calibration workload and unable to meet the requirements of high-efficiency production.

[0004] During the processing, there are processes of diaphragm cutting and welding, which easily cause the diaphragm to become loose and offset. Even if it is tiny, it will affect the inspection accuracy of the pressure sensor.

[0005] Based on the above defects, it is necessary to propose a processing tool to overcome the above technical problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention proposes a processing tool for pressure sensors. Through the coaxial lower fixture shaft and upper fixture shaft, when processing the diaphragm seats, the upper and lower diaphragm seats are respectively clamped by the clamping ends and then fixed coaxially for welding, ensuring that the upper and lower diaphragm seats always remain coaxial during the processing, enabling the welding processing to be completed within the error range, and facilitating unified calibration in the later stage.

[0007] To achieve the above object, the specific technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0008] A processing tool for pressure sensors, the key technology of which lies in: including a base base and a base support plate, at least one support stud is erected between the base base and the base support plate, a lower fixture shaft is installed on the base base, the bottom of the base support plate is movably installed with an upper fixture shaft, the lower fixture shaft and the upper fixture shaft are coaxially arranged, the lower diaphragm seat clamping end of the lower fixture shaft faces the upper diaphragm seat clamping end of the upper fixture shaft, a diaphragm fixture installation position is arranged on the lower fixture shaft, and a welding torch is arranged between the base base and the base support plate.

[0009] With the above solution, the lower fixture shaft and the upper fixture shaft are coaxially arranged, and the upper and lower membrane seats are respectively fixed to their membrane seat clamping ends. When the movable upper fixture shaft carries the upper membrane seat close to the lower membrane seat, the upper and lower membrane seats can still remain coaxial all the time. And the movable upper fixture shaft can change the acting force between the upper and lower membrane seats, so that the diaphragm can be firmly clamped between the upper and lower membrane seats. Even during cutting and welding, the diaphragm will not become loose. This effectively reduces the rejection rate of the pressure sensor and improves the detection accuracy of the pressure sensor. Moreover, the pressure sensors processed by the same tooling have basically the same error. When calibrating the pressure sensors, they can also be calibrated uniformly, improving the calibration accuracy and ensuring the quality of the products leaving the factory.

[0010] In a further technical solution, an upper membrane seat installation groove is formed on the end face of the membrane seat clamping end of the upper fixture shaft, and a magnetic block is fixed to the top of the upper membrane seat installation groove.

[0011] With the above magnetic block, after the upper membrane seat is placed in the upper membrane seat installation groove, the magnetic block can suck the membrane seat to prevent it from falling down, without the need for other fixing devices. This makes the processing more convenient. After welding is completed, the staff can quickly remove the processed pressure sensor.

[0012] In a still further technical solution, a diaphragm cutting tool installation position is provided on the outer wall of the membrane seat clamping end of the upper fixture shaft.

[0013] With the above solution, the cutting tool can be installed on the upper fixture shaft to cut the diaphragm that extends beyond the edge of the membrane seat, so as to carry out the subsequent welding process. The cutting tool installation position can be a thread, a pin hole, etc.

[0014] In a still further technical solution, one end of the upper fixture shaft away from the membrane seat clamping end is sleeved in the upper bearing seat, the upper bearing seat is fixed to the upper fixture shaft fixing position of the guiding sliding sleeve, the guiding sliding sleeve is connected to the oil cylinder output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder, the upper fixture shaft is coaxially arranged with the oil cylinder output shaft, and the hydraulic cylinder is fixed to the base support plate.

[0015] With the above solution, the oil cylinder output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder drives the upper fixture shaft to move up and down, thereby carrying the upper membrane seat close to the lower membrane seat. And the hydraulic cylinder adopts a 16Mpa 12-ton special hydraulic cylinder, so that the diaphragm can be firmly fixed between the upper and lower membrane seats, effectively preventing the diaphragm between the membrane seats from deforming, loosening and being damaged during the diaphragm cutting and welding processes. And the guiding sliding sleeve can limit the upper fixture shaft from shaking and deviating during the moving process, so as to ensure that when the upper membrane seat descends to the lower membrane seat, the two still remain coaxial.

[0016] In a further technical solution, guide through holes are symmetrically arranged at both end portions of the fixed position of the upper fixture shaft of the guide sliding sleeve. A fixture column is sleeved in each of the two guide through holes. The axis of the fixture column is parallel to the axis of the upper fixture shaft. The two fixture columns are fixed between the base bottom and the base support plate.

[0017] With the above solution, the fixture column is inserted into the guide through hole. The fixture column is parallel to the upper fixture shaft and the lower fixture shaft. In combination with the guide sliding sleeve, when the hydraulic cylinder drives the upper fixture shaft on the guide sliding sleeve to descend, the guide sliding sleeve sleeved on the fixture column can only move along the extending direction of the fixture column, and the direction is fixed, so that the upper membrane seat will not shift laterally. Ensure that when the upper membrane seat descends to the lower membrane seat, the two still remain coaxially arranged.

[0018] In a further technical solution, a welding torch fixture is fixed on any one of the fixture columns. The welding torch fixture is used to connect the welding torch.

[0019] The upper and lower membrane seats and the membrane are welded together by a welding torch to form an integrally formed pressure sensor. The welding torch is directed at the top of the lower membrane seat.

[0020] In a further technical solution, a lower membrane seat installation groove is formed on the end face of the lower membrane seat clamping end of the lower fixture shaft. The lower fixture shaft is sleeved in a lower bearing seat. The lower bearing seat is fixed on the base bottom. The side of the lower bearing seat close to the end of the lower fixture shaft away from the lower membrane seat clamping end is set as the membrane fixture installation position. One end of the lower fixture shaft away from the lower membrane seat clamping end passes through the lower bearing seat and the base bottom and then connects to a lower fixture shaft rotation driving component.

[0021] With the above solution, during the processing, the lower membrane seat is placed in the lower membrane seat installation groove, and during the descent of the upper membrane seat, the lower membrane seat remains stationary, so that the upper and lower membrane seats clamp the membrane in the middle. Among them, the membrane is placed on the top of the lower membrane seat by a membrane fixture, and the edge of the membrane is clamped by the membrane fixture and forms tension. After the upper membrane seat descends, the membrane is fixed and clamped between the upper and lower membrane seats. After cutting, welding is carried out under the drive of the lower fixture shaft rotation driving component. During the welding process, the upper fixture shaft remains stationary.

[0022] In a further technical solution, the lower fixture shaft rotation driving component includes a rotation motor. A driving gear is connected to the output shaft of the rotation motor. One end of the lower fixture shaft away from the lower membrane seat clamping end is connected to a driven gear. The driving gear and the driven gear are meshed.

[0023] With the above solution, the rotation motor drives the lower fixture shaft to rotate.

[0024] A further technical solution is that a fixture bottom plate is further fixed on the base bottom seat, and the lower bearing seat sleeving the lower fixture shaft is fixed on the base bottom seat through the fixture bottom plate; a fixture support plate is fixed at the bottom of the base support plate, and both ends of the fixture column between the base bottom seat and the base support plate are respectively fixed through the fixture bottom plate and the base support plate.

[0025] By adopting the above scheme, the fixture column can be conveniently fixed between the base bottom seat and the base support plate.

[0026] A further technical solution is that the base bottom seat is fixed on the tooling base, and at least 4 tooling base foot balance seats are further arranged at the bottom of the tooling base.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: Through the coaxial lower fixture shaft and upper fixture shaft, when processing the film seat, the upper and lower film seats are respectively clamped through the clamping ends and then fixed coaxially for welding, ensuring that the upper and lower film seats always remain coaxially during the processing, enabling the welding processing to be completed within the error range, and being convenient for subsequent unified calibration.
