[0018]1. Compared with existing technologies, this method, by setting up a drive shaft, a first gear, and a cooling mechanism, enables the first rotating shaft to rotate at high speed through the meshing of the first and second gears when the drive shaft rotates.

This effectively removes the heat generated during welding, preventing joint deterioration and excessive tool wear caused by excessively high welding temperatures. This ensures welding quality, extends tool life, and improves production efficiency. It effectively solves the heat dissipation problem during welding, meeting the stringent requirements of high-end manufacturing for welding quality and stability.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of friction welding technology, and in particular to a dual-shoulder friction stir welding and milling integrated tool. Background Technology
[0002] With social development, friction stir welding is becoming increasingly crucial in the industrial manufacturing field. Biaxial shoulder friction stir welding, in particular, plays an important role in many high-end manufacturing industries such as aerospace, automobile manufacturing, and shipbuilding due to its unique advantages. Biaxial shoulder friction stir welding can achieve high-quality welded joints, effectively improve the overall performance and reliability of structural components, reduce structural weight, and thus improve the fuel efficiency and flight performance of aircraft.
[0003] Chinese invention patent CN113997075B discloses a dual-shoulder friction stir welding and milling integrated tool. The tool includes: a frame with an adjustment component mounted on it, and a fixedly connected mounting frame below the adjustment component, containing a power motor and a rotating head; and a cleaning component mounted on the mounting frame. This invention provides a dual-shoulder friction stir welding and milling integrated tool where the cleaning motor drives both coarse and fine cleaning cylinders to rotate simultaneously via drive and transmission gears. The coarse cleaning cylinder first cuts away the sharp barbs, while the fine cleaning cylinder grinds the cut weld seam, thus completing the cleaning of barbs on both sides of the weld seam of the metal plate. This not only reduces the difficulty for later workers but also significantly reduces the risk of workers' fingers being cut by welding barbs.
[0004] However, the aforementioned patent does not directly dissipate heat during the welding process, which can lead to excessively high temperatures in the welding area. On one hand, excessively high temperatures may alter the microstructure of the weld joint, such as grain growth, thereby reducing the joint's strength and toughness and affecting weld quality. This is especially problematic for high-end applications with stringent mechanical performance requirements, such as welding aero-engine blades, where even minor performance degradation can trigger serious safety hazards. On the other hand, sustained high temperatures also accelerate the wear and tear on welding tools, shorten their lifespan, increase production costs and equipment maintenance frequency, reduce production efficiency, and are detrimental to the needs of large-scale industrial production.

[0018] 1. Compared with existing technologies, this method, by setting up a drive shaft, a first gear, and a cooling mechanism, enables the first rotating shaft to rotate at high speed through the meshing of the first and second gears when the drive shaft rotates.

This effectively removes the heat generated during welding, preventing joint deterioration and excessive tool wear caused by excessively high welding temperatures. This ensures welding quality, extends tool life, and improves production efficiency. It effectively solves the heat dissipation problem during welding, meeting the stringent requirements of high-end manufacturing for welding quality and stability. It also addresses the problems of existing technologies lacking direct heat dissipation measures during welding, leading to decreased weld joint quality, accelerated tool wear, and reduced production efficiency. This improves welding stability and reliability, reduces production costs and safety risks, and provides a strong guarantee for high-quality welding production.
[0019] 2. Compared with existing technologies, by setting up a fixing component, during use, rotating the handle on the bidirectional lead screw causes the two clamping blocks to move closer or further apart under the guidance of the slide rod. The steel is clamped on both sides by rollers within the clamping blocks, which can both clamp the steel and not hinder its parallel forward and backward movement. This design can quickly and stably fix steel of different widths, ensuring accurate steel positioning during welding and subsequent processing, avoiding impacts on welding quality and processing accuracy due to steel displacement. It also improves the equipment's operational convenience and adaptability, making it suitable for processing various specifications of steel, optimizing the entire welding process, and improving production efficiency and product quality.

[0035] The welding and milling mechanism 6 also includes a third gear 602, a belt groove 609, a support shaft 610, a pulley 611, and a drive belt 612.

The power transmission of the bottom sleeve 601 is realized through belt drive, so that the upper and lower cleaning cylinders 604 can rotate synchronously.
[0036] The support frame 3 includes a support rod 301, a first mounting base 302, a second mounting base 303, and a bearing 304. The support rod 301 is fixedly connected to the upper and lower ends of the operating plate 1.

[0037] The support frame 3 also includes a connecting rod 305, which is used to connect the sealing cover 501 and the first mounting base 302. The connecting rod 305 has two fixed connections to the top of the first mounting base 302. The sealing cover 501 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting rod 305. The drive motor 401 is fixedly mounted on the top of the first mounting base 302.
[0038] The operating panel 1 has a slot 101 inside, and the welding mechanism 4, cooling mechanism 5 and welding and milling mechanism 6 are all located inside the slot 101. The size and shape of the slot 101 can accommodate the welding mechanism 4, cooling mechanism 5 and welding and milling mechanism 6. The fact that the welding mechanism 4, cooling mechanism 5 and welding and milling mechanism 6 are all located inside the slot 101 makes the entire tool structure compact.
[0039] The bottom of the control panel 1 is fixedly connected to a support leg 7. There are four support legs 7 arranged in a rectangle. The support legs 7 can stably support the control panel 1, so that the tool remains stable when working.
[0040] Working principle: When in use, place two steel pieces flat on the top of the operating plate 1, align the butt joints of the two steel pieces and position them at the center line of the operating plate 1, and then control the bidirectional lead screw 201 to rotate by the throttle 205, so that the two clamping blocks 202 move closer to each other. The two steel pieces are clamped on both sides by the roller drawers 204 inside the two clamping blocks 202. Because of the setting of the roller drawers 204, the two steel pieces can be clamped without affecting the parallel movement of the steel pieces back and forth.
[0041] Next, the drive motor 401 is turned on, which drives the drive shaft 402 to rotate, and at the same time drives the stirring head 403 to rotate at high speed. Then, the steel plate is moved, and the two steel pieces are stirred and welded together by the stirring head 403.
[0042] While the drive shaft 402 rotates, the first gear 404 and the sleeve 601 work together to drive the top sleeve 601 to rotate at high speed. At the same time, through the connection between the limit block 605 and the limit rod 606, the top cleaning cylinder 604 rotates to clean the welding slag on the top of the steel.
[0043] When the top sleeve 601 rotates, the rotational power is transmitted to the bottom sleeve 601 through the cooperation of the belt groove 609, the support shaft 610, the pulley 611 and the drive belt 612, so that the bottom cleaning cylinder 604 rotates synchronously to clean the welding slag on the bottom of the steel plate.
[0044] In order to allow the two cleaning cylinders 604 to adapt to steel plates of different thicknesses, through the elastic cooperation of the spring 607 and the limiting cooperation of the limiting block 605 and the limiting rod 606, the two cleaning cylinders 604 can be tightly attached to the upper and lower ends of the steel plate when welding steel plates of different thicknesses.
[0045] While the drive shaft 402 rotates, the first rotating shaft 502 is driven to rotate at high speed through the cooperation of the first gear 404 and the second gear 504. At the same time, the blade 503 is driven to rotate, which creates a negative pressure inside the sealing cover 501. Then, outside air is drawn into the sealing cover 501 through the conical air inlet block 506. After that, the air is discharged from the two conical air outlet blocks 508 after passing through the exhaust pipe 507, blowing air to the upper and lower ends of the steel to dissipate heat.
[0046] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
