Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical processing equipment, in particular to a welding fixture. Background Art

[0002] Positioning is a crucial link in the welding process of mechanical parts. In traditional welding methods, if there is a lack of proper positioning and fixation, parts will be displaced during the welding process due to thermal deformation, uneven force or vibration, resulting in reduced welding quality or even failure to perform. For example, for the welding of certain precision parts or large structures, if the parts move during the welding process, it will not only affect the welding quality, but may also cause serious safety problems. Therefore, in order to ensure welding quality and improve work efficiency, welding positioning technology came into being.

[0003] Early welding positioning was mainly achieved by fixtures or fixtures. These devices have complex structures, are inconvenient to operate, and can only perform simple straight-line or right-angle positioning. For some complex or non-right-angle welding angles, it is difficult to achieve effective positioning. With the advancement of technology, many welding positioners have appeared on the market. These positioners mainly use the principle of magnetic attraction to fix two parts together through magnetic force to achieve positioning. Compared with traditional fixtures or fixtures, magnetic welding positioners have the advantages of easy operation and strong adaptability.

[0004] However, existing welding positioners still have some limitations. Most existing welding positioners can only perform welding positioning at right angles or certain specific angles. In the actual production process, the welding angles and positions between two parts are varied, or there are obstacles at the welding position that make it difficult to use the positioner to position the edge, making it difficult for existing welding fixtures or positioners to meet diverse welding needs. Summary of the invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a welding fixture that can be freely adjusted in multiple directions according to needs and can meet diverse positioning needs during welding.

[0006] The above technical objectives of the present invention are achieved through the following technical solutions: a welding fixture, comprising a connecting arm, both ends of the connecting arm are rotatably connected to connecting plates through universal joints, a movable cover is provided outwardly on a side of each connecting plate away from the connecting arm, a contact plate is connected to a side of each movable cover away from the corresponding connecting plate, each contact plate is parallel to the corresponding connecting plate, a magnetic suction cup is slidably connected in each movable cover, a threaded hole is provided through the middle of each connecting plate, a threaded shaft threadedly connected to the corresponding threaded hole is rotatably connected to the middle of each magnetic suction cup, and a knob is provided on one end of each threaded shaft extending out of the corresponding threaded hole;

[0007] The lockhole that is formed on the two ends of the support frame is formed on the upper and lower ends of the support frame, and the lockhole that is formed on the two ends of the support frame is formed on the upper and lower ends of the support frame.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, when welding, first select a plane of the main body, put a contact plate in contact with the plane, and turn the knob to rotate the threaded shaft to gradually move the magnetic suction cup close to the main body, so that the device is sucked on the main body. Similarly, the part to be welded is contacted with another contact plate and sucked by the magnetic suction cup, and then the part is moved to the position where the main body needs to be welded, and the angle is adjusted;

[0009] After the adjustment is completed, the handle is turned. The rotation of the handle drives the fan-shaped rotating chuck to rotate through the rotating connecting piece, so that the limit sliding shaft slides along the arc-shaped sliding groove. During the process, the telescopic extrusion shaft is pushed by the limit sliding shaft to gradually squeeze the universal ball head outward to limit the rotation of the universal ball head.

[0010] When welding is completed and the device needs to be removed, first turn the handle in the opposite direction. The handle drives the fan-shaped rotating chuck to rotate, causing the limit sliding shaft to slide along the arc-shaped sliding groove, driving the telescopic extrusion shaft to gradually retract inward without squeezing the universal ball head, and the universal ball head resumes rotation. Finally, turn the two knobs in the opposite direction, and pull the magnetic suction cup gradually closer to the connecting disk and away from the target through the threaded shaft. The magnetic attraction to the target gradually decreases, and the device can be removed.

[0011] The present invention is further configured as follows: a plurality of ventilation holes are provided on the side wall of each movable cover.

[0012] The present invention is further configured as follows: a connecting hole is provided through each magnetic chuck, and each threaded shaft is provided with a T-shaped connecting shaft rotatably connected to the connecting hole.

[0013] The present invention is further configured as follows: an outward end of each telescopic extrusion shaft is connected to an elastic rubber extrusion section matched with a corresponding universal ball head.

[0014] The present invention is further configured as follows: each arc-shaped slide groove is provided with a limit slot in the circular direction of the corresponding fan-shaped rotating chuck, a T-shaped rotating shaft is provided on the outer side of each fan-shaped rotating chuck near the corresponding limit slot, each handle is provided with a rotating connecting piece rotatably connected to the corresponding T-shaped rotating shaft, each rotating connecting piece is provided with a connecting hole rotatably connected to the T-shaped rotating shaft, an extrusion protrusion is provided at one end of each rotating connecting piece away from the corresponding handle, and each fan-shaped rotating chuck is provided with a limit strip on both sides of the corresponding rotating connecting piece, and a gap is left between each limit strip and the corresponding rotating connecting piece, so that each extrusion protrusion can squeeze the limit sliding shaft inserted into the corresponding limit slot into the corresponding arc-shaped slide groove for sliding.

[0015] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] First, the welding positioning device of the present invention has a flexible structure and can freely adjust the positioning angle according to needs. Even if two welding target parts are not in the same plane, they can be positioned after the angle adjustment, which can meet the diverse positioning needs during welding.

[0017] Secondly, after the welding is positioned, the present invention can quickly lock the angle. It only needs to turn the handle to drive the limit sliding shaft to slide through the fan-shaped rotating chuck, and then drive the telescopic pressing shaft to press the universal ball head to limit its rotation, so as to quickly lock the angle.

[0018] Third, when locking the angle, under the action of the elastic rubber extrusion section, the limit sliding shaft rebounds a small section under the action of the elastic rubber extrusion section, so that the limit sliding shaft is stuck in the limit slot to prevent automatic loosening. When the universal ball head needs to be rotated, the handle is turned to drive the rotating connecting piece to rotate, so that the extrusion protrusion on it squeezes the limit sliding shaft into the arc-shaped sliding groove to slide, driving the telescopic extrusion shaft to gradually retract inward without squeezing the universal ball head. The universal ball head resumes rotation, and the contact angle can continue to be locked. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

A knob 34 is provided at one end of each threaded shaft 31 extending out of the corresponding threaded hole 24. By rotating the threaded shaft 31, the magnetic suction cup 3 is displaced relative to the contact disk 23 to adjust the size of the suction force on the target.

[0030] Each universal joint 4 includes a ball sleeve 41 connected to one end of the connecting arm 1, a universal ball head 42 connected to the corresponding connecting plate 2 near the side of the connecting arm 1 and rotatably connected with the corresponding ball sleeve 41, a telescopic sliding hole 11 extending into the connecting arm 1 is opened inwardly at the bottom of each ball sleeve 41, and a limiting sliding hole 12 connected to the corresponding telescopic sliding hole 11 and arranged along its length direction is opened at both ends of each connecting arm 1, a telescopic extrusion shaft 5 is slidably connected in each telescopic sliding hole 11, and an elastic rubber extrusion section 51 matching the corresponding universal ball head 42 is connected to the outward end of each elastic rubber extrusion section 51. One end of each is an arc that matches the corresponding universal ball head 42. Each telescopic extrusion shaft 5 is connected to a limiting sliding shaft 52 that is slidably connected to the corresponding limiting sliding hole 12. Both ends of the connecting arm 1 are rotatably connected to a fan-shaped rotating chuck 6. Each fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 is rotatably connected to the connecting arm 1 at its center. Each fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 is provided with an arc-shaped sliding groove 61 that is slidably connected to the corresponding limiting sliding shaft 52. Each arc-shaped sliding groove 61 gradually approaches the center of the corresponding fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 from one end to the other end. The telescopic extrusion shaft 5 is driven to extend and retract back and forth through the connection between the limiting sliding shaft 52 and the arc-shaped sliding groove 61. Each fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 is connected to a handle 7.

[0031] One end of each arc-shaped slide groove 61 is provided with a limiting slot 62 in the circular direction of the corresponding fan-shaped rotating chuck 6, and a T-shaped rotating shaft 63 is provided on the outer side of each fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 near the corresponding limiting slot 62. Each handle 7 is provided with a rotating connecting piece 71 rotatably connected to the corresponding T-shaped rotating shaft 63. Each rotating connecting piece 71 is provided with a connecting hole 72 rotatably connected to the T-shaped rotating shaft 63. An extrusion protrusion 73 is provided at one end of each rotating connecting piece 71 away from the corresponding handle 7. Each fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 is provided with a limiting strip 64 on both sides of the corresponding rotating connecting piece 71, and a gap is left between each limiting strip 64 and the corresponding rotating connecting piece 71, so that each extrusion protrusion 73 can squeeze the limiting sliding shaft 52 inserted into the corresponding limiting slot 62 into the corresponding arc-shaped slide groove 61 for sliding.

[0032] Working principle: When welding, first select a plane of the main body, put a contact plate 23 in contact with the plane, and turn the knob 34 to rotate the threaded shaft 31 to gradually move the magnetic suction cup 3 close to the main body, so that the device is sucked on the main body. Similarly, the part to be welded is contacted with another contact plate 23 and sucked by the magnetic suction cup 3, and then the part is moved to the position where the main body needs to be welded, and the angle is adjusted;

[0033] After the adjustment is completed, the handle 7 is turned. The rotation of the handle 7 drives the fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 to rotate through the rotating connecting piece 71, so that the limit sliding shaft 52 slides along the arc-shaped sliding groove 61. During the process, the telescopic extrusion shaft 5 is pushed by the limit sliding shaft 52 to gradually squeeze the universal ball head 42 outward to limit the rotation of the universal ball head 42. After rotating to the end, it rebounds a little under the action of the elastic rubber extrusion section 51, so that the limit sliding shaft 52 is stuck in the limit slot 62 to prevent automatic loosening;

[0034] When welding is completed and the device needs to be removed, first rotate the handle 7 in the opposite direction. The rotation of the handle 7 first drives the rotating connecting piece 71 to rotate. The rotating connecting piece 71 squeezes the limiting sliding shaft 52 into the arc-shaped sliding groove 61 through the extrusion protrusion 73 thereon. When the rotating connecting piece 71 contacts the limiting bar 64, it drives the fan-shaped rotating chuck 6 to rotate, so that the limiting sliding shaft 52 slides along the arc-shaped sliding groove 61, driving the telescopic extrusion shaft 5 to gradually retract inward without squeezing the universal ball head 42, and the universal ball head 42 resumes rotation. Finally, rotate the two knobs 34 in the opposite direction, and pull the magnetic suction cup 3 gradually close to the connecting disk 2 and away from the target through the threaded shaft 31. The magnetic attraction to the target gradually decreases, and the device can be removed.
