[0038] The following is combined with Figure 1-8 This application is described in further detail.

[0039] The present application discloses an aluminum bar made by stir friction welding

[0040] Reference Figure 1 , an aluminum busbar made by stir friction welding, comprising a connecting part 1 and a skeleton 2. Two connecting parts 1 are provided, and the two connecting parts 1 are respectively provided on both sides of the skeleton 2, and the connecting part 1 is used to contact and connect with the electrode sheet of a battery or other equipment. The skeleton 2 is used to connect the two connecting parts 1. In this embodiment, the skeleton 2 is a rectangular plate-like structure. In other embodiments, the skeleton 2 can be set to other shapes according to actual conditions, such as Z-type, L-type, etc., the connecting part 1 is made of copper, and the skeleton 2 is made of aluminum. During the use of the busbar, the copper connecting part 1 contacts the electrode, and the stability of its own chemical properties is utilized to reduce the electrochemical corrosion of the busbar. At the same time, the aluminum skeleton 2 is used to reduce the overall mass of the busbar, thereby achieving the goal of reducing the mass of the busbar while effectively ensuring the stability of the busbar during use.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 The connecting part 1 and the frame 2 are both plate-shaped structures with equal thickness, and the two are connected by friction welding. The frame 2 is wrapped with an insulating layer 21, and in this embodiment, the insulating layer 21 is rubber. The connecting part 1 is provided with a connecting hole 11 for inserting a screw.

[0042] The implementation principle of the aluminum bar made by friction stir welding in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: the bar is divided into two parts, wherein the part in contact with the electrode, i.e. the connecting part 1, is made of a metal with stable chemical properties to reduce the electrochemical corrosion during the use of the bar. The frame 2 is made of a light metal material to control the overall quality of the bar.

[0043] The present application also discloses a friction stir welding device.

[0044] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 A friction stir welding device comprises a machine table 3, a spindle system 4 and a stirring head 8. The stirring head 8 is mounted on the spindle system 4, and the spindle system 4 is used to drive the stirring head 8 to rotate. A workbench 31 is arranged on the machine table 3, and the workbench 31 is used to place a workpiece. During the wire row welding process, the connection part 1 is placed at both ends of the skeleton 2, and the connection part 1 is abutted against the skeleton 2. Then the spindle system 4 drives the stirring head 8 to rotate at a high speed and gradually approaches the wire row. Until the welding needle on the stirring head 8 drills into the gap between the connection part 1 and the skeleton 2, and the shoulder of the stirring head 8 is in close contact with the surface of the connection part 1 and the surface of the skeleton 2. The heat generated by the friction between the welding needle on the stirring head 8 and the surrounding parent material and the heat generated by the friction between the shoulder of the stirring head 8 and the surface of the weldment work together to increase the temperature of the material at the joint (the gap between the connection part 1 and the skeleton 2) and soften it. Then the stirring head 8 or the wire row moves along the length of the gap between the connection part 1 and the frame 2, and the softened material flows to the rear of the stirring head 8 relative to the moving direction of the workpiece, forming a dense and firm welding joint, thereby realizing the welding between the connection part 1 and the frame 2.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The spindle system 4 includes a mounting frame 41 and two rotating shafts 42. The mounting frame 41 is mounted on the machine table 3 and can be raised and lowered and moved in the horizontal direction. The rotating shaft 42 is vertically mounted on the mounting frame 41 and can rotate around its own axis. The two rotating shafts 42 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart in the horizontal direction, and the vertical distance between the axes of the two rotating shafts 42 is equal to the length dimension of the skeleton 2. The stirring head 8 is installed below the rotating shaft 42. The rotating shaft 42 and the stirring head 8 can be fixed by a three-jaw chuck (not shown in the figure), or by other clamping methods. During the wire row welding process, the stirring heads 8 on the two rotating shafts 42 correspond to the two connecting seams, and then the workbench 31 or the spindle system 4 can be moved by the electronic control system of the stir friction welding device to achieve synchronous welding between the two connecting parts 1 and the skeleton 2, thereby improving the welding efficiency of the wire row.

[0046] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The spindle system 4 also includes an adjustment component 43, which includes two adjustment columns 431 arranged corresponding to the rotating shaft 42, and the adjustment column 431 is slidably connected to the mounting frame 41 along the horizontal direction. A through hole is opened in the adjustment column 431 corresponding to the rotating shaft 42, and the rotating shaft 42 is rotatably fitted in the through hole. The sliding adjustment column 431 can make the two adjustment columns 431 approach or move away from each other, thereby driving the two rotating shafts 42 to approach or move away from each other, so that the friction welding device can weld wire rows of different specifications.

[0047] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjustment component 43 also includes an adjustment rod 432, which is arranged along the sliding direction of the adjustment column 431. The adjustment rod 432 is arranged between the two adjustment columns 431. The two ends of the adjustment rod 432 are respectively threadedly connected to the two adjustment columns 431. Rotating the adjustment rod 432 can drive the two adjustment columns 431 to move closer to or farther from each other synchronously, thereby realizing the adjustment of the position of the adjustment column 431.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The spindle system 4 also includes a linkage assembly 44, which includes a pulley 441 and a belt ring 442. The pulleys 441 are arranged to correspond to the rotating shaft 42. The pulleys 441 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft 42, and the belt ring 442 is arranged around the two pulleys 441 to realize the synchronous rotation of the two rotating shafts 42. The linkage assembly 44 also includes an adaptation assembly 45, which includes two rotating rods 451 arranged corresponding to the adjustment column 431. One end of the rotating rod 451 is rotatably connected to the adjustment column 431, and the rotation axis between the rotating rod 451 and the adjustment column 431 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft 42. The ends of the two rotating rods 451 away from the adjustment column 431 are close to each other and rotatably connected to each other. The adaptation assembly 45 also includes a stabilizing wheel 452, which is coaxial with the rotation axis between the two rotating rods 451 and is rotatably connected to the rotating rod 451. The plane coinciding with the axes of the two rotating shafts 42 is defined as the mid-plane, and the adaption assembly 45 is symmetrically arranged in two groups about the mid-plane. The belt loop 442 is wound around the two stabilizing wheels 452 and the two pulleys 441 at the same time. When the two adjustment columns 431 approach each other, the rotating rod 451 drives the two stabilizing wheels 452 to move away from each other. When the two adjustment columns 431 move away from each other, the two stabilizing wheels 452 approach each other, so that the belt loop 442 and the pulley 441 can be kept in a tensioned state, thereby improving the stability of the rotating shaft 42 during rotation.

[0049] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4A fixture 5 for placing the wire row is provided on the workbench 31, and the fixture 5 includes a fixing block 51, and the fixing block 51 is fixed on the workbench 31. A profiling groove 52 corresponding to the entire wire row is provided on the fixture 5, and the wire row can be embedded in the profiling groove 52, so as to limit the position of the wire row and improve the stability of the connecting part 1 and the frame 2 during the welding process.

[0050] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 , a receiving chamber 53 is provided inside the fixed block 51 at the position corresponding to the two connecting seams of the wire row, and a preheating assembly 6 is arranged inside the receiving chamber 53. The preheating assembly 6 includes a coil 61 and an iron core 62. The iron core 62 is vertically arranged in the receiving chamber 53, and the coil 61 is wound outside the iron core 62. The position of the iron core 62 corresponds to the profiling groove 52. After the wire row is embedded in the profiling groove 52, the iron core 62 corresponds to the connecting part 1 between the connecting part 1 and the skeleton 2, so that the position where the skeleton 2 and the connecting part 1 are connected can be preheated, so that the stirring head 8 can weld the wire row. On the other hand, the alternating current flows through the coil 61, and the two ends of the iron core 62 generate a changing magnetic field, which can generate an induced current in the wire row. Under the action of the electromagnetic force, the softened material can move, achieve the effect of stirring, and improve the effect of friction welding.

[0051] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The iron core 62 can move along its own length direction, and the sliding iron core 62 can make it close to or away from the contoured groove 52. When the wire bar needs to be heated, the iron core 62 is moved close to the wire bar to increase the speed of heating the wire bar, thereby improving production efficiency. After the wire bar is welded, the iron core 62 is controlled to be away from the wire bar, so as to speed up the cooling speed of the wire bar and facilitate the disassembly of the wire bar.

[0052] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 The preheating assembly 6 also includes a mounting tube 67, which is a cylindrical structure with two ends open. The mounting tube 67 is mounted on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 53, and is slidably sleeved on the iron core 62 to enable the iron core 62 to slide in the vertical direction. The preheating assembly 6 also includes a thermal deformation member 63, which is a sheet-like structure as a whole and is arranged perpendicular to the length of the iron core 62. One end of the thermal deformation member 63 is connected to the side of the iron core 62 close to the ground, and the other end abuts against the side wall of the accommodating cavity 53.

[0053] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6When the thermal deformation member 63 is heated, the end thereof away from the iron core 62 can bend toward the ground. Then, under the interaction between the thermal deformation member 63 and the side wall of the accommodating cavity 53, the iron core 62 can be driven to move away from the ground, that is, toward the direction close to the wire row. In the actual welding process, the coil 61 is energized, and eddy currents are generated in the iron core 62, and the temperature of the iron core 62 rises accordingly. The temperature rise of the iron core 62 can be transmitted to the thermal deformation member 63, and then the thermal deformation member 63 automatically deforms to drive the iron core 62 close to the wire row, thereby heating the wire row. After the welding of the wire row is completed, the coil 61 is de-energized and the temperature of the iron core 62 decreases. Then, the thermal deformation member 63 drives the iron core 62 to move downward, so that the iron core 62 is away from the wire row.

[0054] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 6 In this embodiment, the thermal deformation member 63 is a bimetallic strip (a composite material composed of two or more metals or other materials with suitable properties, each layer has a different thermal expansion coefficient. When the temperature changes, the deformation of the active layer is greater than the deformation of the passive layer, so that the bimetallic strip as a whole will bend toward the passive layer).

[0055] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 A transition piece 66 is provided between the thermal deformation piece 63 and the iron core 62. The transition piece 66 includes a first connecting ring 661, a second connecting ring 662 and a transition tube 663. The first connecting ring 661 and the second connecting ring 662 are both annular structures. The first connecting ring 661 is attached to and fixedly connected to the end surface of the iron core 62. The second connecting ring 662 is arranged below the first connecting ring 661, and the outer side wall of the second connecting ring 662 is larger than the diameter of the iron core 62. The transition tube 663 is a truncated cone-shaped structure as a whole, one end of which is connected to the first connecting ring 661, and the other end is connected to the second connecting ring 662. The thermal deformation piece 63 is connected by the transition piece 66, which provides a larger installation space for the thermal deformation piece 63 and facilitates heat exchange between the thermal deformation piece 63 and the iron core 62.

[0056] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 A through hole connected to the accommodating cavity 53 is provided on the side wall of the profiling groove 52, and the through hole is filled with a heat conductor 64, which is made of an insulating material with a good thermal conductivity, such as alumina ceramic. When the iron core 62 slides, the end face can fit with the heat conductor 64 to transfer heat to the wire row. At the same time, the heat conductor 64 can better support the wire row to cope with the axial force of the wire row after the stirring head 8 abuts against the wire row.

[0057] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5, at room temperature, the thermal deformation member 63 is perpendicular to the iron core 62, and an avoidance groove 65 is provided on the side wall of the accommodating cavity 53 at a position corresponding to the thermal deformation member 63, and the thermal deformation member 63 is in the avoidance groove 65. The avoidance groove 65 has sliding grooves on both side walls parallel to the length direction of the thermal deformation member 63, and a cylindrical adjustment column 431 is provided at the position of the thermal deformation member 63 corresponding to the sliding groove. One end of the adjustment column 431 away from the thermal deformation member 63 is inserted into the sliding groove, and the length direction of the sliding groove is parallel to the ground. The adjustment column 431 can slide in the sliding groove to adapt to the relative movement of the adjustment column 431 during the deformation process of the thermal deformation member 63.

[0058] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The installation tube 67 can slide in a direction perpendicular to the length direction of the profiling groove 52, thereby driving the iron core 62 to move, so that the iron core 62 can heat different positions of the wire row in a targeted manner. The length direction of the thermal deformation member 63 is parallel to the sliding direction of the installation tube 67, and the length direction of the avoidance groove 65 corresponds to the thermal deformation member 63. One end of the thermal deformation member 63 is placed in the avoidance groove 65, which can limit the rotation of the iron core 62 and improve the stability of the iron core 62 during the movement.

[0059] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 , the accommodating chamber 53 is also provided with an accompanying component 7 for driving the installation cylinder 67 to move, and the accompanying component 7 includes a fixed cylinder 71 and a piston 72. The piston 72 is slidably fitted in the fixed cylinder 71, and the fixed cylinder 71 is filled with a heat expansion liquid, which is mercury in this embodiment. The piston 72 is connected to the installation cylinder 67, and the fixed cylinder 71 is located near the contour groove 52. In the actual welding process, the coil 61 is energized, the iron core 62 generates heat and moves upward, abutting against the heat conductor 64, and then the wire row is heated, and the heat is transferred to the fixed cylinder 71 after the wire row is heated. Then the mercury expands and drives the piston 72 to move. At this time, the piston 72 can drive the installation cylinder 67 to move automatically, realizing the automatic movement of the installation cylinder 67. As the iron core 62 continuously heats different positions of the wire row, the mercury absorbs more and more heat, and continuously expands to drive the piston 72 to move. Then the coil 61 is powered off, the wire row is cooled, and the piston 72 is driven to reset, so that the installation cylinder 67 is automatically reset for welding again.

[0060] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 The accompanying component 7 also includes a buffer shell 73, which is arranged above the fixed cylinder 71. The inside of the buffer shell 73 is hollow and filled with mercury. The inside of the buffer shell 73 is connected to the inside of the fixed cylinder 71, and the mercury inside the buffer shell 73 can enter the fixed cylinder 71 to push the piston 72 to move. The buffer shell 73 is flush with the side wall of the profiling groove 52 close to the ground, and the line row can fit with the buffer shell 73 after being placed in the profiling groove 52.

[0061] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 8 A connecting piece 74 is provided between the piston 72 and the mounting cylinder 67, and the connecting piece 74 includes a cross bar 741, a vertical bar 742, and a connecting rod 743. Two vertical bars 742 are provided, and the two vertical bars 742 are provided on both sides of the fixed cylinder 71 in a direction horizontally and perpendicular to the sliding direction of the mounting cylinder 67, and are slidably connected with the fixed cylinder 71. The cross bar 741 is provided at one end of the fixed cylinder 71 and is located between the two vertical bars 742. The two ends of the cross bar 741 are integrally formed with the two vertical bars 742 to form a U-shaped structure. The connecting rod 743 is provided between the piston 72 and the cross bar 741, and its two ends are fixedly connected to the piston 72 and the cross bar 741 respectively. The connection between the piston 72 and the mounting cylinder 67 is realized.

[0062] Reference Figure 4 and Figure 5 The accompanying components 7 are arranged in two groups, and the two groups of accompanying components 7 are respectively arranged on both sides of the trajectory line of the sliding direction of the installation cylinder 67. The two groups of accompanying components 7 drive the installation cylinder 67 to move from both sides of the installation cylinder 67, thereby improving the stability of the installation cylinder 67 during the movement.
