Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of automobile sheet metal detection, and in particular relates to a sheet metal welding spot detection device for new energy automobiles. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of new energy vehicles, their body structures are different from those of traditional vehicles. New energy vehicles have higher requirements for body strength and safety. The quality of sheet metal welds is crucial. Advanced welding technologies are widely used, such as resistance spot welding. Detecting whether the welds are firm and have defects is of great significance to ensuring vehicle performance and passenger safety.

[0003] At present, in the production process of new energy vehicles, workers must inspect the welding points of the body welding to prevent quality problems such as desoldering, cold welding, and false welding at the welding points. Usually, the welding points are inspected to see whether they are stable by measuring the gap at the sheet metal welding points and prying the gaps. For example, a vehicle sheet metal welding point inspection device disclosed in patent publication number CN102944465B;

[0004] During the spot welding of automobile sheet metal, due to operational errors, defects in the material itself and other reasons, the illusion of a strong weld may appear, that is, the weld only partially connects the car body and the accessories, and the effective connection area of ​​the weld is small. In this case, the weld has a certain strength, but with the vibration of the car running and other reasons, the weld may fall off. When such welds are tested by traditional methods such as measuring the sheet metal gap at the weld and prying the gap, since the weld still has an effective connection area, the gap at the sheet metal weld is still within the qualified range, and simply prying the sheet metal gap is not likely to cause the weld to fall off, thereby affecting the accuracy of defective weld detection.

[0045] The operating principle of the present invention is described as follows: The inspector holds the fixed tube 3 and places the top plate 91 above the sheet metal joint of the weld to be inspected (refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1a is sheet metal, b is welding point, and c is sheet metal welding seam), then, insert the insert knife 92 on the top plate 91 into the sheet metal welding gap. Due to the insertion of the insert knife 92, the parts on both sides of the sheet metal welding point are forced to expand outward. If the welding point is cold-welded, desoldered, or not welded firmly, the welding point will be detached. At this time, there is no need to continue to detect the welding point. If the welding point does not have the phenomenon of cold-welding, desoldering, or not welded firmly, align the end of the insulating heat-conducting column 42 with the welding point, and start the single-chip microcomputer 11, and the single-chip microcomputer 11 starts further detection of the welding point;

[0046] After the single chip computer 11 is started, it will immediately control the electric heating rod 43 to work (the heating temperature of the electric heating rod 43 is 70℃±1℃). The electric heating rod 43 can heat up the insulating heat-conducting column 42, and the insulating heat-conducting column 42 will transfer the heating temperature of the electric heating rod 43 to the welding point. After 1 minute, the single chip computer 11 will periodically energize the connection circuit between the detection thermistor block 52 and the electromagnetic switch 55 for 5 seconds. If the welding point is firmly welded and the effective welding area is large enough, the welding point can conduct more heat within 1 minute. At this time, after 1 minute, the temperature of the detection thermistor block 52 will be in a lower state because the heat is conducted away too much by the welding point (the effective detection temperature range of the detection thermistor block 52 is within the range of 0℃ to 100℃, Within this range, the resistance of the detection thermistor block 52 increases as the temperature decreases). Conversely, if the effective welding area of ​​the solder joint is too small, the solder joint will be too small to conduct and dissipate heat due to its small contact area with the sheet metal. At this time, the insulating heat-conducting column 42 will cause the temperature of the detection thermistor block 52 to be at a higher state due to the small amount of heat dissipated by the solder joint. Therefore, when the solder joint is firmly welded and the effective welding area is large enough, the temperature of the detection thermistor block 52 is at a lower state. At this time, the resistance of the detection thermistor block 52 is high, so that the current passing into the electromagnetic switch 55 is small. Therefore, the moving contact of the electromagnetic switch 55 cannot be magnetically closed. When the effective welding area of ​​the solder joint is too small, the detection thermistor Block 52 will be in a low resistance state due to the high temperature. At this time, the current passed into the electromagnetic switch 55 is large enough, so the moving contact of the electromagnetic switch 55 will be immediately magnetically closed, and the single-chip microcomputer 11 will immediately control the buzzer 56 to energize after receiving the closing electrical signal of the electromagnetic switch 55. After the inspection personnel hear the alarm sound of the buzzer 56, they can know that the welding point has a defect. If the single-chip microcomputer 11 does not receive the closing electrical signal of the electromagnetic switch 55 5 seconds after the connection circuit between the detection thermistor block 52 and the electromagnetic switch 55 is connected, it means that the welding of the welding point is stable and the effective area is large enough (the surface of the insulation head 2 is installed with an indicator light, which is not shown in the figure. After the single-chip microcomputer 11 controls the electric heating rod 43 to work for 1 minute and 6 seconds , the single chip computer 11 will control the indicator light to light up, thereby indicating to the inspector that the solder joint inspection work is completed), wherein, since the electric heating rod 43 heats the solder joint through the insulating heat-conducting column 42, the bonding force between the solder joint and the sheet metal base material becomes weaker under the force of thermal expansion. Therefore, during this period, if the solder joint is not firmly welded, the solder joint may fall off under the plugging action of the plug knife 92 after heating, and under the plugging action of the plug knife 92, the gap at the sheet metal welding joint can be enlarged, so that the position where the solder joint is not effectively connected is separated from the sheet metal, thereby avoiding the position where the solder joint is not effectively connected from quickly conducting heat to affect the accuracy of thermal conduction detection. Through the complementary effect of plugging and thermal conduction, the accuracy of solder joint detection can be improved;

[0047] After a solder joint detection is completed, the single chip computer 11 controls the air pump 82 and the second normally closed solenoid valve 103 to work regularly for 1 minute. At this time, the airflow delivered to the interior of the fixed tube 3 by the air pump 82 passes through the second normally closed solenoid valve 103 and enters the T-shaped slot 41 through the connecting hole 83. Subsequently, the airflow exchanges heat with the insulating heat-conducting column 42, so that the heat at the insulating heat-conducting column 42 and the detection thermistor block 52 can be quickly dissipated, so that the temperature at the insulating heat-conducting column 42 and the detection thermistor block 52 returns to a normal temperature state, thereby avoiding affecting the accuracy of the next solder joint detection;

[0048] In the process of detecting the solder joints, the comparison thermistor block 69 (the effective detection temperature range of the comparison thermistor block 69 is in the range of -20°C to 70°C, within this range, the resistance of the comparison thermistor block 69 increases as the temperature decreases) detects the temperature of the external environment. When the external environment temperature is high, the resistance of the comparison thermistor block 69 decreases synchronously. At this time, the current flowing into the micro electromagnetic push rod 63 increases, thereby increasing the distance that the telescopic end of the micro electromagnetic push rod 63 extends, thereby increasing the moving distance of the automatic adjustment block 65. At this time, due to the change in the contact position between the automatic conductive ring 66 and the resistor rod 64, the length of the resistor rod 64 connected to the automatic conductive ring 66, the manual conductive ring 72, the detection thermistor block 52 and the electromagnetic switch 55 becomes longer, thereby increasing the resistance rod 64, the automatic conductive ring 66, the manual conductive ring 72, the detection thermistor block 52 and the electromagnetic switch 55. The resistance of the connection loop between the thermistor block 52 and the electromagnetic switch 55 increases. When the external environment temperature is high, the temperature difference between the sheet metal and the solder joint and the environment decreases, which will cause the rate of heat transfer to decrease (according to the principle of thermodynamics, the driving force of heat transfer is the temperature difference). Therefore, the ability of the sheet metal and the solder joint to dissipate heat to the environment is weakened, so the amount of heat that the sheet metal can dissipate through the environment within 1 minute becomes less. Therefore, when the external environment temperature is high, the temperature of the detection thermistor block 52 will increase relatively due to the decrease in the amount of heat dissipated to the environment. Therefore, by comparing the thermistor block 69 according to the ambient temperature, the contact position of the automatic conductive ring 66 and the resistor rod 64 is automatically adjusted, so that the resistance in the connection loop between the detection thermistor block 52 and the electromagnetic switch 55 increases relatively, thereby compensating for the error caused by the external environment temperature on the heat conduction detection and improving the accuracy of the solder joint detection.

[0049] In the process of detecting the welding point, after the single chip microcomputer 11 is started, the single chip microcomputer 11 will immediately control the air pump 82 to work, and control the first normally closed solenoid valve 102 to be energized for 1 second every 3 seconds. When the air pump 82 is working, the air pump 82 will deliver airflow to the inside of the fixed tube 3. When the first normally closed solenoid valve 102 is not energized, since the airflow inside the fixed tube 3 cannot be discharged, the air pressure inside the fixed tube 3 increases rapidly. After the first normally closed solenoid valve 102 is energized, the airflow inside the fixed tube 3 will quickly pass through the support tube 101 and the hose 104 into the vent 105, and pass through the vent 105 and the sealing cover 106 to be ejected from the exhaust hole 108. When the high-pressure airflow passes through the inside of the sealing cover 106, when the airflow impacts the elastic metal sheet 107 When the elastic metal sheet 107 is subjected to an unbalanced pressure due to the instantaneous impact force of the airflow, it bends and deforms toward the exhaust hole 108. After the airflow disappears, the impact force acting on the elastic metal sheet 107 disappears, and its own elastic potential energy causes it to recover to its original state, resulting in rebound. This rebound causes the reciprocating motion of the elastic metal sheet 107, thereby generating vibration. The vibration is transmitted to the inserting knife 92 through the steel rod 93, thereby causing the inserting knife 92 to vibrate. Under the action of vibration, the unsoldered solder joints can be separated as much as possible, thereby further exposing the defective solder joints. When the single-chip microcomputer 11 controls the second normally closed solenoid valve 103 and the air pump 82 to start timing work, the single-chip microcomputer 11 stops controlling the intermittent power-on work of the first normally closed solenoid valve 102.

[0050] Among them, when detecting sheet metal welds of different materials, before the detection, the detection personnel can rotate the adjustment screw 73 to drive the manual adjustment block 71 to drive the manual conductive ring 72 to move toward the side of the automatic conductive ring 66, or to the side away from the automatic conductive ring 66, so as to manually adjust the resistance of the connection circuit of the resistor rod 64 connected to the automatic conductive ring 66, the manual conductive ring 72, the detection thermistor block 52 and the electromagnetic switch 55. Since the thermal conductivity of sheet metal welds of different materials is different, the manual adjustment method can be suitable for the detection of sheet metal welds of different materials (when manually adjusting, the thermal conductivity performance of the qualified welds of the sheet metal of the material can be pre-tested and determined, and then the positions of the resistor rod 64 and the manual conductive ring 72 can be adjusted accordingly according to the determined thermal conductivity performance).

[0051] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
