Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a quartz flexible accelerometer pendulum group lead automatic welding machine and its welding method, belonging to the technical field of assembly. BACKGROUND

[0002] The quartz flexible accelerometer is one of the most important inertial instruments, which is widely used in the fields of inertial navigation such as weapons, transportation and spaceflight. The pendulum group of the quartz flexible accelerometer is the heart of the quartz flexible accelerometer, and is the key component of the sensitive accelerometer information.

[0003] After the pendulum group is assembled and bonded, the coil enameled wire lead needs to be welded with the corresponding pad of the plated pendulum. At present, the lead welding is mainly carried out by manual soldering, which has low consistency, high skill level requirement for the operator and difficult to improve the production efficiency. At the same time, direct soldering on the gold-plated film layer is a forbidden process, which can easily cause the phenomenon of gold brittleness. Moreover, the oily flux used in manual soldering volatilizes and remains in the gap between the coil framework and the pendulum bonding surface at high temperature, which is difficult to observe and remove. When the instrument is subjected to temperature and mechanical environment, the oily flux can volatilize and accumulate on the pendulum plate or the torque plate, causing the pendulum plate and the torque plate to stick together to form an interference torque, resulting in abnormal function of the instrument. In recent years, there have been many quality problems of the excess mass of the welding flux remaining in the pendulum group. Compared with manual soldering, electronic spot welding has high efficiency, simple operation and good welding strength, which can effectively avoid the problem of gold brittleness in manual soldering.
