[0061] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0062] The present invention provides an engine frame welding frame and a method of use, such as Figure 1 As shown, the engine frame welding jig includes an assembly welding platform 1, a large-end joint locator 2, a servo mechanism joint positioner 3, a frame small-end positioning bracket 4, and a main column 6. The assembly welding platform 1 serves as a positioning and installation base for the large-end joint locator 2, the servo mechanism joint positioner 3, the frame small-end positioning bracket 4, and the main column 6. The large-end joint locator 2 is used to position and secure the engine frame's large-end joint; the servo mechanism joint positioner 3 is used to position and secure the engine frame's servo mechanism joint; the frame small-end positioning bracket 4 is used to position and secure the engine frame's small-end joint; and the main column 6 is used to position and secure the frame small-end positioning bracket 4. Large nuts 5 securely connect the frame small-end positioning bracket 4 to the main column 6. Once all these components are positioned, installed, and secured according to design requirements, the frame can be welded.

[0063] The assembly welding platform 1 is preferably a casting, disc-shaped; its upper end face has a certain flatness after processing, which meets the flatness requirements of use. A center positioning hole 12 and multiple groups of connecting grooves are processed on the assembly welding platform 1; the center positioning hole 12 is located in the middle of the assembly welding platform 1, serving as the assembly reference for the large-end joint positioning seat 2, the servo mechanism joint locator 3, the frame small-end positioning bracket 4, and the main column 6. Similarly, structures such as positioning shafts can also be processed on the assembly welding platform 1 to serve as positioning references. Each group of connecting grooves includes a number of T-slots 11, which are open on the side and upper end faces of the assembly welding platform 1 and extend from the side to the interior of the assembly welding platform 1. The number of T-slots 11 included in each set of connecting grooves can be set according to actual needs. The main column 6, the large-end joint positioning seat 2, and the servo mechanism joint positioner 3 cooperate with the T-slots 11 via T-bolts to achieve a fixed connection. The provision of the T-slots 11 allows the main column 6, the large-end joint positioning seat 2, and the servo mechanism joint positioner 3 installed therein to be adjusted in position along the radial direction of the center positioning hole 12. For example, when a set of connecting grooves includes one T-slot 11, the T-slot 11 extends radially along the center positioning hole 12; when a set of connecting grooves includes two T-slots 11, the two T-slots 11 are parallel to each other, and the centerline between the two T-slots 11 extends radially along the center positioning hole 12; similarly, when a set of connecting grooves includes three or more T-slots 11, their centerlines extend radially along the center positioning hole 12.

[0064] like Figure 2 As shown, the big end joint positioning seat 2 includes three parts: a base 21, a slider 22 and a stop pin assembly 24.

[0065] The base 21 is a casting made of QT450-10. Multiple second U-shaped grooves 26 are machined into the base 21. T-bolts, the second U-shaped grooves 26, and the T-shaped grooves 11 cooperate to achieve a removable connection between the base 21 and the assembly welding platform 1. A V-shaped groove 25 is provided in the base 21, extending radially from the center positioning hole 12. Two pin holes are machined into the bottom surface of the V-shaped groove 25. The retaining pin assembly 24 includes two pin shafts, each mounted in one of the two pin holes.

[0066] The material of the slider 22 can be selected from 45 steel. The slider 22 is slidably installed in the V-groove 25 and is located on the side of the pin facing the center positioning hole 12. After the base 21 and the slider 22 are assembled, the slider 22 can slide relative to the base 21 along the radial direction of the center positioning hole 12, and the lateral shaking is small.

[0067] The outer wall of the pin is machined with a flat surface parallel to the pin's axis; the distance between the flat surface and the pin's axis can be adjusted according to positioning requirements. When welding the engine frame, the cylindrical surface of the pin of the retaining pin assembly 24 contacts the slider 22 for welding and positioning. After welding is completed, the pin is rotated to align the flat surface with the end face of the slider 22, allowing the engine frame to contract freely to release welding stress until it contacts the flat surface of the pin.

[0068] The upper side of the slider 22 is machined with several connection holes for connecting to the large end connector of the engine frame. In the assembled state, two assembly measurement reference holes 23 are drilled in the base 21 and slider 22. The line connecting the two assembly measurement reference holes 23 and the centerline of the V-shaped groove 25 are in the same plane.

[0069] like Figure 3 As shown, the servo mechanism joint locator 3 includes a servo lower positioning seat 31, a servo upper positioning seat 33 and a positioning shaft 32. The servo lower positioning seat 31 mainly plays a supporting role, the servo upper positioning seat 33 mainly plays a guiding and positioning role, and the positioning shaft 32 is used to position and fix the frame servo mechanism joint. The bottom of the servo lower positioning seat 31 is processed with multiple first U-shaped grooves 34 to facilitate cooperation with the T-shaped slots 11 of the assembly welding platform 1, and is installed, adjusted and connected and fixed by T-shaped bolts. The servo upper positioning seat 33 is fixedly mounted on the servo lower positioning seat 31 through bolts and other connecting parts. In order to facilitate processing, the servo lower positioning seat 31 and the servo upper positioning seat 33 are both cast. The positioning shaft 32 is fixedly mounted on the servo upper positioning seat 33. The positioning shaft 32 extends horizontally, and a slot is processed at one end of the positioning shaft 32 to position the frame servo joint; the end of the positioning shaft 32 away from the servo upper positioning seat 33 is provided with an external thread, which is tightened with a nut to limit the axial displacement of the engine frame servo joint.

[0070] like Figure 4 As shown, the main column 6 consists of a lower connecting base 61 and a support 62. The lower connecting base 61 primarily serves as a support, with multiple third U-shaped grooves 63 machined into its bottom. These third U-shaped grooves 63, T-shaped slots 11, and T-bolts work together to facilitate the installation, adjustment, and connection of the lower connecting base 61 to the assembly welding platform 1. The support 62 is fixed to the upper end of the lower connecting base 61 by bolts, and the relative position is ensured by two locating pins.

[0071] like Figure 1As shown, the frame small end positioning bracket 4 is installed on the main column 6. Three circular holes and one oblong hole are machined on the four ends of the frame small end positioning bracket 4. The line connecting the centers of the diagonal holes is required to be orthogonal and pass through the center of the center hole of the frame small end positioning bracket 4. The oblong hole is machined to prevent the frame small end positioning bracket 4 from being over-positioned. Two supports 62 of the four main columns 6 are cylindrical and include an optical axis section and a threaded section. The optical axis section is used to position the frame small end positioning bracket 4. The threaded section cooperates with the large nut 5 to fix the frame small end positioning bracket 4. The remaining two main columns 6 only serve to support and connect the frame small end positioning bracket 4. Several connecting slots are also machined on the frame small end positioning bracket 4. The size and shape of the connecting slots are adapted to the appearance of the engine frame small end connector and are used to position the engine frame small end connector.

[0072] The method for using the above-mentioned engine frame welding jig comprises the following steps:

[0073] Step 1: Install the large end connector positioning seat 2;

[0074] Use the upper end surface of the assembly welding platform 1 and the central positioning hole 12 as the installation positioning reference for the large end joint positioning seat 2. After determining the position of each large end joint positioning seat 2 according to the design requirements, tighten the bolts of the assembly welding platform 1 and the large end joint positioning seat 2.

[0075] After the fastening is completed, the positioning tapered holes of the large end joint positioning seat 2 and the assembly welding platform 1 are processed, and the tapered pins are inserted to ensure that the relative positions remain unchanged.

[0076] Step 2: Install the main column 6;

[0077] Using the two centripetal assembly measurement reference holes 23 on the slider 22 and the threaded holes connected to the large end of the frame as reference, position and install the main column 6, ensuring that the line connecting the two large nuts 5 of the main column 6 passes through the threaded holes connected to the large end of the frame and coincides with the line connecting the two centripetal assembly measurement reference holes 23 on a set of sliders 22; after determining the position of the main column 6, tighten the bolts of the assembly welding platform 1 and the main column 6;

[0078] After the fastening is completed, the positioning tapered holes of the main column 6 and the assembly welding platform 1 and the positioning tapered holes of the lower connecting seat 61 and the support 62 are processed, and conical pins are inserted into the corresponding ones to ensure that the relative positions remain unchanged.

[0079] Step 3: Install the small end positioning bracket 4 of the rack;

[0080] Lift the four lifting rings of the small end positioning bracket 4 of the frame and install it on the main column 6 that has been positioned and fixed. Install the bolts that fasten the small end positioning bracket 4 of the frame and the main column 6, and install two large nuts 5 to fasten the small end positioning bracket 4 of the frame.

[0081] Step 4: Install the servo mechanism joint positioner 3;

[0082] Assemble the servo mechanism joint positioner 3 and tighten the connecting bolts between the servo lower positioning seat 31 and the servo upper positioning seat 33; insert the positioning shaft 32 into the servo upper positioning seat 33 and lock it with the set screw;

[0083] Move the assembled servo mechanism joint positioner 3 to the assembly welding platform 1; adjust the position of the servo mechanism joint positioner 3 on the assembly welding platform 1 and the servo lower positioning seat 31 and the positioning shaft 32. After meeting the design requirements, lock the positioning shaft 32 with a set screw, and drill the threaded holes and positioning tapered holes between the servo lower positioning seat 31 and the assembly welding platform 1, the servo lower positioning seat 31 and the servo upper positioning seat 33, and the servo upper positioning seat 33 and the positioning shaft 32. Insert the conical pins and tighten the connecting bolts to ensure that their relative positions remain unchanged.

[0084] Step 5: Weld the engine frame;

[0085] After all the components are installed in place according to the design requirements, the large-end joint, small-end joint and servo mechanism of the frame can be fixed on the frame welding frame, and then the connecting pipes can be repaired and the frame can be welded into shape; before the frame is welded, the cylindrical surface of the pin shaft of the stop pin assembly 24 is against the slider 22. After the welding is completed, the pin shaft is rotated so that its flat surface is facing the slider 22; when positioning before welding the small end of the frame, a pad should be inserted into the contact surface between the main column 6 and the frame small end positioning bracket 4. After the frame welding is completed, the pad will be removed to release the frame welding shrinkage stress and improve the weld quality.
