Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of fixture equipment attachments, and in particular to a self-adjusting clamping mechanism and method for stirring welding. Background Art
[0002] Stir welding is a solid-state connection technology, which is mainly used for welding light metals such as aluminum, but can also be applied to other materials such as magnesium alloys, copper alloys, titanium alloys and even some plastics. Stir welding forms joints without melting materials, thus avoiding problems that may occur in traditional fusion welding, such as thermal cracks, pores and welding deformation. Stir welding technology is widely used in many industries due to its high efficiency and high-quality welding characteristics, including aerospace, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing, rail transportation and other fields. These fields usually require high-strength and high-reliability joints, and have strict control requirements on welding deformation. In addition, since the heat input in the FSW process is relatively low, it is particularly beneficial for heat-sensitive materials and can reduce the performance degradation of the heat-affected zone (HAZ). During stir welding, equipment is required to clamp it adaptively. After cleaning the surface and removing the oxide layer, it is rotated and welded. The most common welding component clamping equipment is a clamp; a clamp is a device used to clamp stir-welded components in industrial production processes, and it has been widely used in the field of welding clamping; when using the existing clamp, first ensure that the surfaces of the two parts to be welded are clean and flat, remove the oxide layer and other impurities to ensure good welding quality, and accurately position and fix the two parts to be welded on the workbench. This step is crucial to ensure the stability of the welding process and the quality of the final joint. Select a suitable clamp or positioning device according to the shape and size of the workpiece, and adjust the welding parameters such as rotation speed, forward speed, axial pressure, etc. according to factors such as material type, thickness and required joint strength. The selection of these parameters directly affects the welding quality and efficiency; the existing public patent CN201280071460.2 discloses a support device intended to be supported in a supporting manner on one or more workpieces connected by friction stir welding, which supports the weld formed between the two workpieces by friction stir welding.

[0043] The specific implementation steps of the embodiment of the self-adjusting clamping mechanism for stirring welding of the present invention are as follows:
[0044] S1: After the equipment is started, the lifting and lowering are adjusted first. Two groups of parts to be welded are placed on the corresponding arc molds 604. The two groups of arc molds 604 are tilted outward in an idle state. After the workpieces are placed, the bottom hydraulic cylinder 501 is started to lift. During the lifting process of the bottom hydraulic cylinder 501, the bottom top block 508 is driven to push the two arc plates 507. The bottom top block 508 is concave in the center and convex on both sides, and the two groups of arc plates 507 are retracted;
[0045] S2: During the folding process, the two sets of arc plates 507 rotate on the elbow 506, and the limit plate 503 is clamped into the connecting plate 504. The connecting plate 504 is limited and stably lifted and lowered by the buckling and clamping method, so that the connecting plate 504 slides on the limit plate 503 in an orderly manner;
[0046] S3: The connecting plate 504 is driven to rotate by lifting and lowering the connecting plate 504, and the relative positions of the connecting plate 504 and the elbow 506 are changed to stably align the arc plate 507 and form a stable supporting structure with the connecting rod 505. The alignment is achieved by lifting and lowering, which greatly improves the automation level of equipment processing;
[0047] S4: After the lifting and lowering adjustment is completed, the workpiece is clamped. After the arc plate 507 is aligned, the motor 601 is started to rotate on the arc mold 604, and the rotating motor 601 drives the second screw 602 to rotate, and the threaded connection between the second screw 602 and the arc plate 507 drives the arc mold 604 and the arc plate 507 to be placed concentrically. During this process, the buckle 607 contacts the workpiece, and multiple groups of buckles 607 are slidably clamped with each other, and are slidably clamped with the arc mold 604, so as to ensure the stability of its sliding;
[0048] S5: In this process, the adapter 608 is clamped at different positions of the workpiece. When encountering an arc angle or a depression, the adapter 608 rotates on the buckle 607 to perform additional clamping at different angles and positions. During the sliding process, the buckle 607 slides on the arc mold 604 and is fixed with the reverse thrust of the spring 606;
[0049] S6: After the arc mold 604 and the arc plate 507 are concentric, the arc plate 507 and the arc mold 604 are both fitted with the pressure ring 404, and the rubber strip 605 on the arc mold 604 is used to improve the friction of the fitting and the stability of the fixation;
[0050] S7: During the process of fixing the workpiece, the lateral positioning bolt 801 is rotated to extend so as to fix the workpiece at a full angle laterally, and the fixing stability of the lateral positioning bolt 801 is improved by rotating the knob 802;
[0051] S8: After the workpiece is transversely fixed, in the process of longitudinally fixing the top of the workpiece, the second electric push rod 703 is started to push and pull, so that it drives the driving rod 701 to rotate. During the rotation of the driving rod 701, the angle between the driving rod 701 and the pressing ring 404 changes;
[0052] S9: The top fixing components are evenly distributed and connected in a hexagonal shape. When rotating, they are gradually clamped from the outside to the inside to reduce the exposed space on the top. They can be clamped by pushing from the outside to the inside, or pulled from the inside to fix.
[0053] S10: The driven rod 702 and the positioning rod 704 are connected in a triangle, so that the scaling of the central area can adaptively fix the workpiece. The fixation of the workpiece is completed, which greatly improves the stability of workpiece processing;
[0054] S11: After the workpiece is fixed, the angle of the stirring workpiece is adjusted. Before starting the adjustment device, the support rod 301 and the adjustment rod 303 are tilted inward at 45 degrees, supported by the first electric push rod 302, forming a stable triangular structure. When the angle adjustment is required, the first electric push rod 302 is started to extend and retract, driving more than three groups of the first electric push rods 302 to be compressed, completing the tilting or overall lowering of the adjustment disk 307, and the remaining three groups of the first electric push rods 302 are lifted, and the angle of the compressed support rod 301 and the adjustment rod 303 is supplemented, and the first electric push rod 302 is used to triangulate the support rod 301 and the adjustment rod 303 after compression or expansion;
[0055] S12: When the device needs to be adjusted to a narrower angle, the first motor 306 connected to the adjustment disk 307 can be started to rotate. When the first motor 306 rotates, the first screw rod 305 is driven to rotate. The threaded connection between the first screw rod 305 and the slider 304 drives the slider 304 to rotate on the adjustment disk 307, thereby changing the relative position of the adjustment rod 303, thereby improving the flexibility of the device angle adjustment;
[0056] S13: By adjusting the angle of the adjusting disk 307, the clamped workpiece is driven to rotate in real time, which can improve the flexibility and bending angle of the stirring welding, and greatly improve the adjustment performance of the equipment;
[0057] S14: After the angle adjustment is completed, the rotating mechanism is started to drive the device to rotate as a whole. The electric turntable 401 is connected to the adjustment disk 307, and the worm gear structure drives the mounting table 402 to rotate stably, and the equipment and workpiece on the mounting table 402 can be rotated stably; the mounting table 402 and the pressure ring 404 are connected through the column 403, and the column 403 is stably connected to the mounting table 402 and the pressure ring 404 using a welding process to prevent it from being easily damaged under long-term buckling and pulling actions;
[0058] S15: By rotating the equipment through the rotating mechanism, it can effectively switch between multiple angles and multiple welding positions to ensure the effective progress of welding work. Adjustment through the rotating mechanism greatly improves the welding flexibility of the equipment, ensuring that the equipment rotates evenly at different angles and performs orderly stirring welding.
