[0012] Working principle of the present invention:

[0013] The invention provides a highly adaptable friction stir welding fixture capable of being assisted by ultrasound, which is used for friction stir welding.

[0014] The hollow boss on the upper layer of the clamp base is used to place the welded parts. The slots provided around the hollow boss are used to clamp the support plates. A certain distance is reserved between two adjacent support plates. The welded parts are placed on the support plates, and the weld seams correspond to the intervals between the support plates. The support plates can slide in the slots to adjust their positions, and are fixed by bolts to prevent displacement after positioning. Several vertical pressing assemblies in the clamping assembly are used to provide vertical pressing effects on the welded parts, and several horizontal pushing assemblies are used to provide horizontal pressing effects on the welded parts. The vertical pressing assemblies and the horizontal pushing assemblies are arranged around the hollow boss to jointly position the welded parts. The temperature measuring assembly's temperature detector can rotate, swing, and pitch under the drive of the rotating control console, so that the probe of the temperature detector can cover all positions of the hollow boss and measure the temperature of the weld seam position of the welded parts. The ultrasonic transducer in the ultrasonic auxiliary component can move horizontally and vertically as well as up and down in the vertical direction under the drive of the three-axis translation stage. The ultrasonic transducer emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves to cause high-frequency vibrations in the welded parts, remove the oxide layer or particulate contaminants that may exist on the welding surface, reduce the deformation resistance of the material, improve the plastic fluidity of the material, and reduce the welding resistance; the controller is used to control the start and stop of the clamping component, the temperature measuring component and the ultrasonic auxiliary component and the data transmission, thereby improving the degree of automation of the equipment.

[0015] The pressing hydraulic cylinder of the vertical pressing assembly vertically telescopes the hydraulic rod, so that the pressing rod forms a lever structure with the connecting rod as a fulcrum, and the other end of the pressing rod presses the welded part through the pressing part. The controller controls the operation of the pressing hydraulic cylinder.

[0016] The shock-absorbing protrusions arranged on the lower surface of the pressing block can play a role in shock absorption and anti-slip when in contact with the welded part.

[0017] The shock-absorbing pressure block at the lower part of the shock-absorbing pressure plate can play a role in shock absorption and anti-slip when it contacts the welded part. At the same time, the spiral through holes running through the inside of the shock-absorbing pressure block from top to bottom enhance the energy absorption and shock absorption effect of the shock-absorbing pressure block, improve the mechanical properties of the shock-absorbing pressure block, improve the elasticity and recovery of the shock-absorbing pressure block, and also increase air circulation, heat dissipation capacity and wear resistance, thereby playing a role in shock absorption and heat dissipation and ventilation; the radiator on the shock-absorbing pressure plate is connected to the spiral through holes of the shock-absorbing pressure block through the heat dissipation through holes, thereby helping the welded part to dissipate heat during the welding process.

[0018] The threaded pressure rod screwed on the long-distance pressure plate can be adjusted up and down. The lower end length of the threaded pressure rod can be adjusted according to the surface height difference of the special-shaped welded parts to adapt to special-shaped welded parts with different surface height differences; the shock-absorbing protrusion at the lower end of the threaded pressure rod can play a shock-absorbing and anti-slip role when it contacts the welded parts.

[0019] The pushing hydraulic cylinder of the horizontal pushing assembly pushes the pushing plate to move in the horizontal direction, thereby providing horizontal pressure to the welded part. The controller controls the operation of the pushing hydraulic cylinder.

[0020] The first baffle and the second baffle on the hollow boss are arranged opposite to the horizontal pushing assembly, and cooperate with the horizontal pushing assembly to provide horizontal positioning for the welded part; the vertical pressing assembly is divided into two groups and arranged opposite to each other, leaving the weld position of the welded part for facilitating welding and temperature measurement.

[0021] In the rotating control console of the temperature measuring component, the first steering gear drives the turntable to rotate, and drives the second steering gear to swing in the horizontal direction; the second steering gear drives the temperature measuring device connecting frame to pitch and swing, and drives the temperature measuring device to pitch and swing. The first steering gear and the second steering gear work together to drive the temperature measuring device to move, so that it can measure the temperature of all positions of the hollow boss. The controller controls the operation of the first steering gear, the second steering gear and the temperature measuring device, and transmits data.

[0022] In the three-axis translation platform of the ultrasonic auxiliary component, the connecting plate slides along the guide rail through the slider under the drive of the ball screw module, driving the gear rack module to move; under the drive of the gear rack module, the electric push rod is driven to move, and the movement direction of the gear rack module is perpendicular to the movement direction of the ball screw module in the horizontal direction, so that the ultrasonic transducer moves horizontally and vertically; the vertical extension and contraction of the electric push rod drives the third steering gear and the ultrasonic transducer to move vertically up and down. The third steering gear drives the transducer connecting frame to pitch and swing within a certain angle range to increase the range of action of the ultrasonic transducer; the position sensor is used to detect the spatial position of the ultrasonic transducer. The vibration sensor arranged on the support plate is used to detect the vibration frequency of the welded part. The controller controls the operation of the ball screw module, the gear rack module, the electric push rod, the third steering gear, the ultrasonic transducer, the position sensor and the vibration sensor, and transmits data.

[0023] The method of using the present invention:

[0024] First, select several support plates of appropriate size and width according to the shape and structure of the welded parts, and insert the support plates into the hollow boss of the fixture base; leave a certain width of gap between the support plates, place the welded parts on the support plates, and align the weld seam with the gap between the support plates.

[0025] The two adjacent sides of the welded part are respectively abutted against the first baffle and the second baffle, and the controller controls the horizontal pushing components on the other two sides to extend the pushing plates horizontally to push and fix the welded part in the horizontal direction; then the controller controls the vertical pressing component to vertically press and fix the welded part.

[0026] The fully automatic welding control method is as follows:

[0027] Firstly, a spatial coordinate system is established in the hollow area of ​​the hollow boss to determine the spatial coordinates of the welded part and its weld;

[0028] Initialize the positions of the stirring head, the temperature measuring component's temperature measuring device, and the ultrasonic transducer of the ultrasonic auxiliary component, and initialize the position sensor and vibration sensor data; and synchronize them to the same coordinate system, i.e., the spatial coordinate system of the hollow boss; determine the welding route according to the weld;

[0029] The starting position of the weld is used as the starting position of the stirring head and the ultrasonic transducer, and the welding route is used as the planar motion path of the stirring head and the ultrasonic transducer; the starting position of the weld is used as the temperature measurement collection starting position of the temperature sensor, and the welding route is used as the temperature measurement path of the temperature sensor;

[0030] Before welding begins, the temperature detector and ultrasonic transducer are started at the same time. The temperature detector measures the initial temperature of the solder joint before welding and transmits it to the controller for storage; the ultrasonic transducer emits a preset high-frequency ultrasonic wave to clean the weld.

[0031] After welding starts, the stirring head starts to move at a preset rate to weld the weld; the temperature sensor and ultrasonic transducer start to move along with the moving position of the stirring head; the ultrasonic transducer also performs a pitch swing within a certain angle range during the three-dimensional movement;

[0032] The temperature detector collects the temperature value of the soldering point in real time and transmits it to the controller; the real-time temperature of the soldering point is compared with the maximum limit temperature preset in the controller. If the real-time temperature is higher than the maximum limit temperature, the controller controls the welding process to stop and issues an alarm;

[0033] The position sensor collects the spatial position coordinates of the ultrasonic transducer in real time and transmits them to the controller; if the spatial position coordinates of the ultrasonic transducer exceed the predetermined welding route range, the controller controls the welding process to stop and issues an alarm;

[0034] The vibration sensor collects vibration frequency data in real time and transmits it to the controller; the real-time vibration frequency of the weld point is compared with the vibration frequency range value preset in the controller. If the real-time vibration frequency of the weld point is higher than the highest value of the preset vibration frequency range, the ultrasonic transducer is controlled to move downward by a certain distance so that the real-time vibration frequency of the weld point remains within the preset vibration frequency range; if the real-time vibration frequency of the weld point is lower than the lowest value of the preset vibration frequency range, the ultrasonic transducer is controlled to move upward by a certain distance so that the real-time vibration frequency of the weld point remains within the preset vibration frequency range;

[0035] When the stirring head has completed the entire welding route, it stops stirring and the ultrasonic transducer stops working; the temperature sensor measures the weld temperature back and forth along the welding route until the temperature of the entire weld is cooled to below the safe temperature value. Only then can the controller allow the horizontal pushing assembly and the vertical pressing assembly to release pressure and complete the welding process.

[0036] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0037] The invention provides a highly adaptable friction stir welding fixture capable of ultrasonic assistance. The fixture can clamp the welded part on the upper layer and perform ultrasonic assistance on the lower layer through the structural design of upper and lower layers. At the same time, the invention adopts a support plate type support method, and the shape and size of the support plate can be changed according to needs, which can not only effectively clamp the welded part, but also perform ultrasonic assistance at different positions on the bottom surface of the welded part. The damping pressure block with spiral through holes adopted by the invention can effectively reduce the impact of ultrasonic vibration on the fixture as a whole, and the radiator can also better maintain the damping pressure block at a suitable temperature. The invention uses a combination of a hydraulic cylinder, a stopper, a pressure block and a pressure plate to fix and position the welded part, avoiding the welding failure caused by insufficient clamping force, and is combined with a temperature measuring device, a ball screw module, a steering gear, a sensor, etc., effectively improving the automation level of the fixture of the invention, so that the adaptability of the fixture of the invention is more extensive. Due to the introduction of ultrasonic vibration, the deformation resistance of the material is reduced, the plastic fluidity of the material is improved, and the welding resistance is reduced, so that the friction stir welding can be performed at a higher welding speed, thereby improving the welding efficiency.

[0060] Working principle of the present invention:

[0061] The invention provides a highly adaptable friction stir welding fixture capable of being assisted by ultrasound, which is used for friction stir welding.

[0062] The hollow boss 101 on the upper layer of the fixture base 1 is used to place the welded parts, and the clamping groove 102 arranged around the hollow boss 101 is used to clamp the support plate 103. A certain distance is reserved between two adjacent support plates 103. The welded parts are placed on the support plates 103, and the weld seams correspond to the intervals between the support plates 103. The support plates 103 can slide in the clamping groove 102 to adjust their positions, and are fixed by bolts after positioning to prevent displacement. The several vertical pressing components 201 in the clamping component 2 are used to provide vertical pressing action on the welded parts, and the several horizontal pushing components 202 are used to provide horizontal pressing action on the welded parts. The vertical pressing components 201 and the horizontal pushing components 202 are arranged around the hollow boss 101 to jointly position the welded parts; the temperature measuring component 301 can rotate, swing and pitch under the drive of the rotating control console 302, so that the probe of the temperature measuring component 301 can cover the entire position of the hollow boss 101 and measure the temperature of the weld position of the welded parts. The ultrasonic transducer 401 in the ultrasonic auxiliary component 4 can move horizontally and vertically as well as up and down in the vertical direction under the drive of the three-axis translation stage. The ultrasonic transducer 401 emits high-frequency ultrasonic waves to cause high-frequency vibrations in the welded parts, remove the oxide layer or particulate contaminants that may exist on the welding surface, reduce the deformation resistance of the material, improve the plastic fluidity of the material, and reduce the welding resistance; the controller is used to control the start and stop of the clamping component 2, the temperature measuring component 3 and the ultrasonic auxiliary component 4 and the data transmission, so as to improve the degree of automation of the equipment.

[0063] The pressing hydraulic cylinder 203 of the vertical pressing assembly 201 vertically extends and retracts the hydraulic rod, so that the pressing rod 204 forms a lever structure with the connecting rod 205 as a fulcrum, and the other end of the pressing rod 204 presses the welded part through the pressing part. The controller controls the operation of the pressing hydraulic cylinder 203 .

[0064] The shock-absorbing protrusions 107 disposed on the lower surface of the pressing block 206 can provide shock-absorbing and anti-slip effects when in contact with the welded part.

[0065] The shock-absorbing pressure block 209 at the bottom of the shock-absorbing pressure plate can play a role in shock absorption and anti-slip when it contacts the welded part. At the same time, the spiral through holes 210 running through the inside of the shock-absorbing pressure block 209 from top to bottom enhance the energy absorption and shock absorption effect of the shock-absorbing pressure block 209, improve the mechanical properties of the shock-absorbing pressure block 209, improve the elasticity and recovery of the shock-absorbing pressure block 209, and also increase air circulation, heat dissipation capacity and wear resistance, thereby playing a role in shock absorption and heat dissipation and ventilation; the radiator 212 on the shock-absorbing pressure plate is connected to the spiral through holes 210 of the shock-absorbing pressure block 209 through the heat dissipation through holes 211, thereby helping the welded part to dissipate heat during the welding process.

[0066] The threaded pressure rod 213 screwed on the long-distance pressure plate can be adjusted up and down. The lower end length of the threaded pressure rod 213 is adjusted according to the surface height difference of the special-shaped welded parts to adapt to the special-shaped welded parts with different surface height differences; the shock-absorbing protrusion at the lower end of the threaded pressure rod 213 can play a shock-absorbing and anti-slip role when it contacts the welded parts.

[0067] In this embodiment, there are three groups of vertical pressing assemblies 201 on each side, the middle one is the main vertical pressing assembly 201, and the ones on both sides are auxiliary vertical pressing assemblies 201. The main vertical pressing assembly 201 presses the center of gravity of the welded parts, and the auxiliary vertical pressing assemblies 201 cooperate to press the welded parts; the pressing part of the main vertical pressing assembly 201 on one side is a shock-absorbing pressure plate, and the pressing parts of the auxiliary vertical pressing assemblies 201 on both sides are long-distance pressure plates; the pressing part of the main vertical pressing assembly 201 on the other side is a shock-absorbing pressure plate, and the pressing parts of the auxiliary vertical pressing assemblies 201 on both sides are pressure blocks 206.

[0068] The pushing hydraulic cylinder 214 of the horizontal pushing assembly 202 pushes the pushing plate 215 to move in the horizontal direction, thereby providing horizontal pressure to the welded parts. The controller controls the operation of the pushing hydraulic cylinder 214 .

[0069] The first baffle 108 and the second baffle 109 on the hollow boss 101 are arranged opposite to the horizontal pushing assembly 202, and cooperate with the horizontal pushing assembly 202 to provide horizontal positioning for the welded part; the vertical pressing assembly 201 is divided into two groups and arranged opposite to each other, leaving the weld position of the welded part to facilitate welding and temperature measurement.

[0070] In the rotating control console 302 of the temperature measuring component 3, the first steering gear 304 drives the turntable 305 to rotate, and drives the second steering gear 306 to swing in the horizontal direction; the second steering gear 306 drives the temperature measuring device connecting frame 307 to pitch and swing, and drives the temperature measuring device 301 to pitch and swing. The first steering gear 304 and the second steering gear 306 work together to drive the temperature measuring device 301 to move, so that it can measure the temperature of all positions of the hollow boss 101. The controller controls the work of the first steering gear 304, the second steering gear 306 and the temperature measuring device 301, and transmits data. According to the control of the controller, the first steering gear 304 rotates to drive the temperature measuring device 301 to rotate horizontally by a certain angle, so that the temperature measuring device 301 can measure the horizontal target, and then the second steering gear 306 rotates to drive the temperature measuring device 301 to pitch by a certain angle, so that the temperature measuring device 301 can measure the longitudinal target. The first steering gear 304 and the second steering gear 306 work together to enable the temperature measuring device 301 to measure the entire range of the hollow boss 101.

[0071] In the three-axis translation stage of the ultrasonic auxiliary component 4, the connecting plate 405 is driven by the ball screw module 408 to slide along the guide rail 404 through the slider 406, driving the gear rack module 409 to move; driven by the gear rack module 409, the electric push rod 410 is driven to move, and the movement direction of the gear rack module 409 is perpendicular to the movement direction of the ball screw module 408 in the horizontal direction, so that the ultrasonic transducer 401 moves horizontally and vertically; the vertical extension and contraction of the electric push rod 410 drives the third steering gear 412 and the ultrasonic transducer 401 to move vertically up and down. The third steering gear 412 drives the transducer connecting frame 413 to pitch and swing within a certain angle range, increasing the range of action of the ultrasonic transducer 401; the position sensor is used to detect the spatial position of the ultrasonic transducer 401. The vibration sensor arranged on the support plate 103 is used to detect the vibration frequency of the welded part. The controller controls the operation of the ball screw module 408 , the gear rack module 409 , the electric push rod 410 , the third steering gear 412 , the ultrasonic transducer 401 , the position sensor and the vibration sensor, and performs data transmission.

[0072] The method of using the present invention:

[0073] First, select several support plates 103 of appropriate size and width according to the shape and structure of the welded parts, and insert the support plates 103 into the hollow boss 101 of the fixture base 1; leave a certain width of gap between the support plates 103, place the welded parts on the support plates 103, and align the weld seam with the gap between the support plates 103.

[0074] The two adjacent sides of the welded part are respectively abutted against the first baffle 108 and the second baffle 109, and the controller controls the horizontal pushing components 202 on the other two sides to horizontally extend the pushing plates 215 to push and fix the welded part in the horizontal direction; then the controller controls the vertical pressing component 201 to vertically press and fix the welded part.

[0075] The fully automatic welding control method is as follows:

[0076] First, a spatial coordinate system is established in the hollow area of ​​the hollow boss 101 to determine the spatial coordinates of the welded part and its weld;

[0077] Initialize the positions of the stirring head, the temperature measuring device 301 of the temperature measuring component 3, and the ultrasonic transducer 401 of the ultrasonic auxiliary component 4, and initialize the data of the position sensor and the vibration sensor; and synchronize them to the same coordinate system, that is, the spatial coordinate system of the hollow boss 101; determine the welding route according to the weld;

[0078] The starting position of the weld is used as the starting position of the stirring head and the ultrasonic transducer 401, and the welding route is used as the planar motion path of the stirring head and the ultrasonic transducer 401; the starting position of the weld is used as the temperature measurement and collection starting position of the temperature detector 301, and the welding route is used as the temperature measurement path of the temperature detector 301;

[0079] Before welding begins, the temperature detector 301 and the ultrasonic transducer 401 are started simultaneously. The temperature detector 301 measures the initial temperature of the solder joint before welding and transmits it to the controller for storage; the ultrasonic transducer 401 emits a preset high-frequency ultrasonic wave to clean the weld.

[0080] After welding starts, the stirring head starts to move at a preset rate to weld the weld; the temperature detector 301 and the ultrasonic transducer 401 start to move along with the moving position of the stirring head; the ultrasonic transducer 401 also performs a pitching swing within a certain angle range during the three-dimensional movement;

[0081] The temperature detector 301 collects the temperature value of the soldering point in real time and transmits it to the controller; the real-time temperature of the soldering point is compared with the maximum limit temperature preset in the controller. If the real-time temperature is higher than the maximum limit temperature, the controller controls the welding process to stop and issues an alarm;

[0082] The position sensor collects the spatial position coordinates of the ultrasonic transducer 401 in real time and transmits them to the controller; if the spatial position coordinates of the ultrasonic transducer 401 exceed the predetermined welding route range, the controller controls the welding process to stop and issues an alarm;

[0083] The vibration sensor collects vibration frequency data in real time and transmits it to the controller; the real-time vibration frequency of the welding point is compared with the vibration frequency range value preset in the controller; if the real-time vibration frequency of the welding point is higher than the highest value of the preset vibration frequency range, the ultrasonic transducer 401 is controlled to move downward by a certain distance so that the real-time vibration frequency of the welding point is kept within the preset vibration frequency range; if the real-time vibration frequency of the welding point is lower than the lowest value of the preset vibration frequency range, the ultrasonic transducer 401 is controlled to move upward by a certain distance so that the real-time vibration frequency of the welding point is kept within the preset vibration frequency range;

[0084] When the stirring head has completed the entire welding route, stirring stops and the ultrasonic transducer 401 stops working; the temperature sensor 301 measures the weld temperature back and forth along the welding route until the temperature of the entire weld is cooled to below the safe temperature value. Only then can the controller allow the horizontal pushing component 202 and the vertical pressing component 201 to release pressure to complete the welding process.
