Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of spot welding, and particularly to a spot welding positioning and pressing structure, a spot welding device and a spot welding method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the booming field of automotive seat manufacturing today, a common automotive seat structure is composed of key components such as a seat frame, a foam strip, and an outer covering mask working together. As the core support structure of the entire seat, the seat frame is of self-evident importance. It is mainly composed of an outer frame and a wire frame carefully placed inside the outer frame. The construction of the wire frame is extremely ingenious, being formed by intertwining multiple longitudinal wires and multiple transverse wires through a specific process. These longitudinal wires and transverse wires are closely arranged in a crisscross manner according to precisely calculated spacing and angles. In the production workshop, workers carefully position and interweave each wire, and finally form an extremely regular and orderly mesh structure.
[0003] Digging deeper into the processing of the seat frame under the existing technical system, the shortcomings are fully exposed. In the initial stage of seat frame processing, the commonly used method is to use specially designed tooling to fix the positions of the outer frame and numerous wires. These tooling are customized according to the precise dimensions of the seat frame, and through various methods such as mechanical clamps and positioning pins, the outer frame is firmly fixed in place, and at the same time, each longitudinal wire and transverse wire is accurately positioned. In this fixed complex structure, the intersecting parts of the longitudinal wires and transverse wires, the connection parts of the longitudinal wires and the outer frame, and the connection parts of the transverse wires and the outer frame are all set as spot welding points.
[0004] Especially for the processing of L-shaped workpieces in the seat frame, when a pair of L-shaped workpieces need to be welded together, the traditional operation mode exposes significant drawbacks. Currently, the industry generally uses two sets, or even three sets of spot welding tooling to complete this welding task.
[0005] Using multiple sets of spot welding tooling means that workers need to frequently switch between different tooling and strictly follow multiple sets of operation specifications and procedures. This not only places higher requirements on the professional skills and operation proficiency of workers, but also makes the entire operation process complicated and cumbersome.
[0006] Meanwhile, with the change of tooling, workers also need to repeatedly position the workpiece multiple times. For each positioning, it is necessary to strictly follow the positioning standards of the corresponding tooling. However, in actual operation, since the positioning process involves many manual operation steps, such as manually handling the workpiece and adjusting the position, these will inevitably introduce errors. At the same time, there are differences in the manufacturing precision of different toolings itself, which further exacerbates the generation of positioning errors. As the number of repeated positionings increases, these errors will gradually accumulate, eventually resulting in the dimensional deviation of the welded product exceeding the standard range, not only reducing the product qualification rate, but also causing problems such as assembly difficulties in the subsequent assembly process, seriously affecting the smooth operation of the entire production chain.

[0018] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides another technical solution as follows: a spot welding method, which is applicable to the above-mentioned spot welding device, and the method includes:
[0019] S1. Place the special-shaped wire in the first end pressing groove, the middle end pressing groove, and the second end pressing groove through a mechanical grasping device;
[0020] S2. Start the first end telescopic cylinder, the middle end telescopic cylinder, and the second end telescopic cylinder to press the special-shaped wire in the first end pressing groove, the middle end pressing groove, and the second end pressing groove;
[0021] S3. Place the welding end to be welded of the folded weldment on the special-shaped wire through a mechanical grasping device, insert the other end of the folded weldment into the block with an arc groove, and the folded weldment is perpendicular to the special-shaped wire;
[0022] S4. Start the first folded weldment pressing telescopic cylinder and the second folded weldment pressing telescopic cylinder to press the other end of the folded weldment;

Among them, the upper spot welding piece is in contact with the welding end of the folded workpiece, and the lower spot welding piece is in contact with the welding end of the special-shaped wire.
[0024] S6. The robotic arm spot welding mechanism reaches the welding position by rotating the robotic arm. The upper spot welding electrode of the robotic arm spot welding mechanism is in contact with the upper spot welding piece; the lower spot welding electrode of the robotic arm spot welding mechanism is in contact with the lower spot welding piece.
[0025] S7. Turn on the upper and lower spot welding electrodes of the robotic arm spot welding mechanism. The upper spot welding electrode presses downward, and then through the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism and the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism, make the upper spot welding piece closely fit with the welding end of the folded workpiece, and the lower spot welding piece closely fit with the welding end of the special-shaped wire to complete spot welding.

The mechanical grasping device can accurately place the special-shaped wire in the first end pressing groove, the middle end pressing groove and the second end pressing groove according to the preset program and the precise positioning system, accurately place the welding end of the folded workpiece on the special-shaped wire, and insert the other end of the folded workpiece into the block with an arc groove, while ensuring that the folded workpiece and the special-shaped wire are perpendicular to each other. In this way, the position accuracy of the welding part is effectively guaranteed, avoiding the positioning deviation that may occur due to manual operation, and thus improving the welding accuracy.
[0028] By using multiple telescopic cylinders to press the special-shaped wire and the folded workpiece respectively, these cylinders can provide stable and uniform pressure, so that the special-shaped wire and the folded workpiece remain closely fitted during the welding process, ensuring that the welding current can evenly pass through the welding part, thereby improving the welding quality and reducing the occurrence of welding defects such as false welding and welding detachment.
[0029] The adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism and the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism cooperate with the upper and lower spot welding electrodes of the robotic arm spot welding mechanism, enabling the upper spot welding piece to closely fit with the welding end of the folded workpiece and the lower spot welding piece to closely fit with the welding end of the special-shaped wire. This close fit helps to improve the current conduction efficiency, enabling the welding part to quickly heat up and reach the ideal welding state, further improving the welding quality.
[0030] Automated operations reduce the dependence on manual labor and lower labor costs. At the same time, automated equipment can operate continuously for 24 hours, further improving production efficiency and reducing the production cost per unit product. Due to the improved welding precision and quality, the qualified rate of products has also increased accordingly. The product scrap and rework caused by welding defects have been reduced, lowering the production cost. Description of the Drawings

[0048] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further introduced in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0049] Example 1
[0050] according to Figure 2 and Figure 14 As shown, the spot welding positioning and pressing structure is used in the spot welding process of special-shaped steel wire and folded weldment. The structure includes:
[0051] according to Figures 4 - 5 As shown, at least one first end clamping mechanism 1 is used to clamp the first end of the special-shaped steel wire.
[0052] Furthermore, the first end clamping mechanism 1 includes a first end mounting rib 101. Specifically, the first end clamping mechanism 1 utilizes the first end mounting rib 101 as a basic support structure. This provides a stable support platform for other components throughout the spot welding process, ensuring the entire mechanism remains stable and reliable even under significant pressure.
[0053] The first end mounting plate 102 is height-adjustably mounted on the first end mounting rib 101. Specifically, this height adjustment is achieved via a threaded adjustment mechanism. By simply rotating the adjustment bolt, the operator can precisely position the first end mounting plate 102 according to the actual height of the shaped steel wire. This design allows the mechanism to adapt to both large industrial shaped steel wires and compact, small shaped steel wires, greatly enhancing its versatility.
[0054] The positioning top block 103 is mounted on the first end mounting plate 102. Specifically, in actual operation, the positioning top block 103 can support the edge of the first end of the special-shaped steel wire, effectively limiting the horizontal displacement of the special-shaped steel wire by physical blocking, ensuring that the steel wire always remains in the preset position during the spot welding process, providing a guarantee for welding accuracy.
[0055] The first end spacer 104 is mounted on the first end mounting plate 102. A first end compression groove 105 is formed on the first end spacer 104. Specifically, the shape of the first end compression groove 105 matches the cross-sectional shape of the special-shaped steel wire, enhancing the positioning effect of the steel wire and also buffering the compression force to a certain extent, preventing deformation of the steel wire due to excessive pressure.
[0056] The first end telescopic cylinder 106 is mounted on the first end mounting plate 102. Specifically, by controlling the flow of compressed air, the first end telescopic cylinder 106 can achieve rapid and stable telescopic movement. When the shaped wire needs to be compressed, the cylinder extends, pushing the connected first end hinge block 107 to move.
[0057] The first end hinge block 107 is mounted on the telescopic end of the first end telescopic cylinder 106. Specifically, the first end hinge block 107 serves as a bridge connecting the first end telescopic cylinder 106 and the first end rotating plate 108. The first end hinge block 107 utilizes a spherical hinge design, which not only transmits the power of the first end telescopic cylinder 106 but also allows the first end rotating plate 108 to rotate flexibly within a certain range, facilitating the smooth compression operation.
[0058] One end of the first end rotating plate 108 is hinged to the first end hinge block 107. Specifically, in actual operation, after completing the positioning and pressing of the special-shaped steel wire, the operator only needs to tighten the locking bolt to keep the first end rotating plate 108 in a stable state, thereby preventing the pressing force from changing due to vibration or other external factors during the spot welding process, which may affect the welding quality.
[0059] The first end clamp 109 is mounted on the other end of the first end rotating plate 108. Specifically, during installation, the operator can flexibly adjust the installation angle and position of the first end clamp 109 according to the actual spot welding requirements, thereby ensuring that the first end clamp 109 is always perpendicular to the upper surface of the steel wire when compressing the special-shaped steel wire, thereby achieving the best compression effect.
[0060] In addition, a shock-absorbing buffer pad is provided at the connection between the first end pressure block 109 and the first end rotating plate 108, which can effectively buffer the impact force generated when the first end rotating plate 108 drives the pressure block to press down, which not only protects the first end pressure block 109 and the special-shaped steel wire, but also extends the overall service life of the equipment.
[0061] At least two first-end locking blocks 110 are used to lock the first-end rotating plate 108 to the first-end mounting plate 102 via locking bolts. Specifically, during actual operation, after positioning and tightening the special-shaped steel wire, the operator can use a dedicated torque wrench to sequentially tighten the locking bolts according to a pre-set torque value. This ensures that the force applied by each locking bolt is uniform, preventing the first-end rotating plate 108 from tilting due to uneven force, and ensures that the connection between the first-end rotating plate 108 and the first-end mounting plate 102 is optimally secured.
[0062] The first end of the special-shaped steel wire is located in the first end pressing groove 105 of the first end pad 104, and the first end pressing block 109 presses the upper surface of the first end of the special-shaped steel wire; the positioning top block 103 presses the edge of the first end of the special-shaped steel wire. Specifically, when the spot welding process is carried out, the first end of the special-shaped steel wire (i.e. Figure 14The middle compression point A) is precisely placed within the first end compression groove 105 of the first end pad 104. The design of the first end compression groove 105 has been carefully considered, and its shape closely matches the cross-sectional profile of the shaped steel wire, just like tailoring a piece of clothing to the specific needs of the wire. This allows the shaped steel wire to fit naturally within it, closely fitting the groove wall, and limiting the horizontal and vertical displacement of the wire to the greatest extent possible, providing a stable foundation for subsequent compression and welding work.
[0063] At the same time, the first-end telescopic cylinder 106, under the control system's command, extends its piston rod, driving the first-end hinge block 107 forward. During this process, the first-end rotating plate 108 rotates about its hinge point with the first-end hinge block 107, and the first-end pressure block 109, mounted on its other end, moves downward until it fully contacts the upper surface of the first end of the shaped steel wire. The bottom surface of the first-end pressure block 109 has been specially treated to provide an appropriate roughness, significantly enhancing friction with the steel wire and preventing it from slipping during welding. Its design, which conforms to the surface of the shaped steel wire, ensures even pressure distribution and prevents deformation of the wire due to excessive local pressure.
[0064] Furthermore, a positioning block 103 is mounted on the first end mounting plate 102. Its position and angle have been precisely adjusted to precisely support the edge of the first end of the shaped steel wire once it is in place. This physical barrier further limits the horizontal displacement of the shaped steel wire, particularly the slight displacement caused by current surges, mechanical vibrations, and other factors during spot welding. This ensures that the shaped steel wire remains in the preset welding position, ensuring welding accuracy and consistency and creating favorable conditions for forming high-quality welds between the shaped steel wire and the folded weldment.
[0065] according to Figure 6 As shown, the structure further includes: at least one intermediate end pressing mechanism 2, which is used to press two locations of the transverse rod of the special-shaped steel wire, one location of the folding rod of the special-shaped steel wire, and one location of the vertical rod of the special-shaped steel wire;
[0066] Furthermore, the intermediate end clamping mechanism 2 includes an intermediate end mounting rib 201. Specifically, the intermediate end mounting rib 201 provides a stable mounting base for other components. The surface of the intermediate end mounting rib 201 is anodized, which not only enhances its wear resistance but also improves its corrosion resistance, thereby extending the service life of the equipment.
[0067] The middle end mounting plate 202 is mounted on the middle end mounting rib 201 in a height-adjustable manner. Specifically, this height adjustment function is achieved through a threaded adjustment device. The staff only needs to simply rotate the adjustment bolt to accurately position the middle end mounting plate 202 according to the actual height of the profiled wire. Whether it is large-sized industrial profiled wire or small-sized delicate profiled wire, this mechanism can adapt to the wire through this design, greatly improving the versatility of the mechanism.
[0068] At least four middle end cushion blocks 203 are respectively mounted on the middle end mounting plate 202; each of the middle end cushion blocks 203 is provided with a middle end pressing groove 204. Specifically, the shape and size of each middle end pressing groove 204 are specially designed according to different parts of the profiled wire, and can closely fit the surfaces of the transverse rod, folding rod and vertical rod, providing stable support and positioning for the profiled wire.
[0069] The middle end telescopic cylinder 205 is mounted on the middle end mounting plate 202. Specifically, the middle end telescopic cylinder 205 adopts a double-acting piston structure, and can achieve fast and stable telescopic movement by controlling the inlet and outlet of compressed air. During the working process, when the control system issues a pressing instruction, compressed air enters the rodless cavity of the cylinder, pushing the piston and piston rod to extend, thereby driving the middle end hinge block 206 connected thereto to move.
[0070] The middle end hinge block 206 is mounted on the telescopic end of the middle end telescopic cylinder 205. Specifically, the middle end hinge block 206 is made of high-strength alloy steel and its surface is carburized, having good wear resistance and fatigue resistance. The middle end hinge block 206 is designed with a unique spherical hinge structure, which can not only transmit the power of the middle end telescopic cylinder 205, but also allow the middle end rotating plate 207 to rotate flexibly within a certain range, providing the necessary degree of freedom for the smooth progress of the pressing action.
[0071] The middle end rotating plate 207 has one end hinged to the middle end hinge block 206. Specifically, the middle end rotating plate 207 is made of high-strength carbon fiber composite material, which has the characteristics of light weight and high strength, and can reduce the overall weight of the mechanism while ensuring the stability of the mechanism. Driven by the middle end telescopic cylinder 205, the middle end rotating plate 207 rotates around the hinge point with the middle end hinge block 206 as the axis, thereby driving the middle end pressing block 208 to move downward to achieve pressing of the profiled wire.
[0072] At least four middle end pressing blocks 208 are respectively mounted on the other end of the middle end rotating plate 207.
[0073] Specifically, at least four intermediate end pressing blocks 208 are made of special alloy steel, and their surfaces are nitrided, having good hardness and wear resistance. The bottom surface of each intermediate end pressing block 208 is specially designed according to different parts of the profiled steel wire, and can closely fit with the upper surfaces of the transverse rod, the folding rod and the vertical rod, ensuring uniform pressure distribution during the pressing process and avoiding wire deformation caused by excessive local pressure.
[0074] At least two intermediate end locking blocks 209 lock the intermediate end rotating plate 207 and the intermediate end mounting plate 202 through locking bolts. Specifically, during the actual operation process, after the staff complete the positioning and pressing of the profiled steel wire, they can use a special torque wrench to tighten the locking bolts in sequence according to the preset torque value. This can not only ensure that the force applied by each locking bolt is uniform, prevent the intermediate end rotating plate 207 from tilting due to uneven force, but also ensure that the connection between the intermediate end rotating plate 207 and the intermediate end mounting plate 202 reaches the best fastening state.
[0075] Among them, two places of the transverse rod of the profiled steel wire (i.e., Figure 14 pressing position B and pressing position C), one place of the folding rod of the profiled steel wire (i.e., Figure 14 pressing position D), and one place of the vertical rod of the profiled steel wire (i.e., Figure 14 pressing position F) are respectively located in the corresponding intermediate end pressing grooves 204, and the four intermediate end pressing blocks 208 respectively press the upper surface of the intermediate end of the profiled steel wire. Specifically, during the actual working process, two places of the transverse rod, one place of the folding rod and one place of the vertical rod of the profiled steel wire will be accurately placed in the corresponding intermediate end pressing grooves 204 respectively. When the piston rod of the intermediate end telescopic cylinder 205 extends, driving the intermediate end rotating plate 207 to rotate, the four intermediate end pressing blocks 208 will move downward accordingly, respectively pressing the upper surface of the intermediate end of the profiled steel wire. At the same time, by tightening the locking bolts on the intermediate end locking blocks 209, the intermediate end rotating plate 207 and the intermediate end mounting rib plate 201 are firmly locked, ensuring that the profiled steel wire always remains stable during the spot welding process and providing a reliable guarantee for achieving high-quality welding.

[0084] At least two second-end locking blocks 309, which complete the locking of the second-end rotating plate 307 and the second-end mounting plate 302 through locking bolts. Specifically, to ensure that the second-end rotating plate 307 remains stable during the spot welding process and will not loosen due to vibration or other external forces, at least two second-end locking blocks 309 firmly connect the second-end rotating plate 307 and the second-end mounting rib plate 301 through locking bolts. The second-end locking blocks 309 are made of high-strength alloy steel and the surface is treated with galvanization, having good rust prevention performance. In actual operation, when the staff completes the positioning and pressing of the special-shaped wire, a professional torque wrench is used to tighten the locking bolts according to the specified torque value, so as to ensure that the second-end rotating plate 307 always remains stable during the spot welding process.
[0085] Among them, the second end of the special-shaped wire (i.e., Figure 14 the pressing points E and G) are respectively located in the corresponding second-end pressing grooves 304, and the two second-end pressing blocks 308 respectively press the upper surface of the second end of the special-shaped wire. Specifically, during the actual spot welding operation, the second end of the special-shaped wire will be accurately placed in the corresponding second-end pressing groove 304. When the second-end telescopic cylinder 305 is started and pushes the second-end rotating plate 307 to rotate, the two second-end pressing blocks 308 move downward accordingly and respectively press the upper surface of the second end of the special-shaped wire. Immediately afterwards, the staff tightens the locking bolts on the second-end locking blocks 309 to firmly lock the second-end rotating plate 307 and the second-end mounting plate 302, ensuring that the second end of the special-shaped wire always remains stable during the entire spot welding process, providing a solid guarantee for achieving high-quality welding operations.

[0090] Specifically, the folded - part pressing top plate 403 is provided with a carefully designed block 404 having an arc - shaped groove. The curvature radius of the block 404 having an arc - shaped groove is specially customized according to the end shape of the folded part. When one end of the folded part is inserted into the block 404 having an arc - shaped groove, the two can fit tightly, limiting the welded part from the side and above to prevent the welded part from shaking or displacing during the welding process.
[0091] A first folded - part pressing telescopic cylinder 405, which is installed on the folded - part pressing mounting plate 402. Specifically, this cylinder adopts a double - acting piston - type structure. During operation, by controlling the inlet and outlet of compressed air, the piston is pushed to drive the piston rod to make a reciprocating linear motion. Before spot - welding operation, when the control system issues a pressing command, compressed air enters the rodless cavity of the cylinder, and the piston rod extends, driving the connected first folded - part pressing block 406 to move towards the lower end of the folded part until the welded part is pressed tightly.
[0092] The first folded - shaped weldment pressing block 406 is connected to the telescopic end of the first folded - shaped weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 405 and is used to press the lower end of the folded - shaped weldment. Specifically, the material of the first folded - shaped weldment pressing block 406 is polyurethane rubber with good wear resistance and buffering performance.

[0095] One end of the folded - shaped weldment is located on the special - shaped wire; the other end of the folded - shaped weldment is inserted into the block 404 with an arc - shaped groove. Specifically, during actual spot - welding operation, one end of the folded - shaped weldment is placed on the special - shaped wire and is ready to be welded with the wire. The other end is accurately inserted into the block 404 with an arc - shaped groove of the folded - shaped weldment pressing top plate 403. Subsequently, the first folded - shaped weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 405 and the second folded - shaped weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 407 are started simultaneously. The first folded - shaped weldment pressing block 406 and the second folded - shaped weldment pressing block 408 move towards the lower end and the middle end of the folded - shaped weldment respectively, firmly pressing the weldment. Through this multi - part collaborative pressing method, the folded - shaped weldment remains stable during the spot - welding process, greatly improving the welding quality and production efficiency.

Specifically, the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503 adopts a double-acting piston structure, which can not only provide a strong and stable thrust, but also has a fast response speed and smooth movement. During the working process, when the control system issues a pressing instruction, compressed air enters the air chamber of the cylinder, and the gas pressure is converted into the pressure of hydraulic oil through a gas-liquid conversion device to push the piston rod to quickly extend, driving the spot welding pressing hinge block 504 to move.

Specifically, the spot welding pressing hinge block 504 is made of high-strength aluminum alloy and is anodized, which not only reduces its own weight but also improves the surface hardness and wear resistance. The spot welding pressing hinge block 504 adopts a unique universal hinge design, which can not only effectively transmit the driving force of the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503, but also provides multiple-direction rotational degrees of freedom for the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505, enabling it to flexibly adjust its position to adapt to different spot welding requirements.
[0102] The spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 has one end hinged to the spot welding pressing hinge block 504. Specifically, the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 is made of high-strength carbon fiber composite material, which has the advantages of light weight, high strength, corrosion resistance, etc. While ensuring the structural strength of the mechanism, it effectively reduces the overall weight and the energy consumption during the operation of the equipment. Driven by the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503, the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 rotates around the hinge point, driving the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 to approach the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism 508, realizing the pressing of the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment.
[0103] At least two spot welding locking blocks 506, which complete the locking of the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 and the spot welding pressing mounting plate 502 through locking bolts. Specifically, in actual operation, after the operator completes the positioning and pressing of the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment, a special torque wrench is used to tighten the locking bolts according to the pre-set torque value to ensure that the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 always remains stable during the spot welding process and will not loosen due to vibration or other external forces.

Specifically, during operation, the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment are stacked between the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 and the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism 508, and through their coordinated action, the stable pressing of the welding part is realized.
[0105] Among them, the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment are stacked between the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 and the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism 508. Specifically, during actual spot welding operation, first, according to the size and shape of the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment, the height of the spot welding pressing mounting plate 502 is adjusted through the screw-nut lifting system to adjust the mechanism to a suitable position. Then, the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment are placed between the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 and the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism 508 and preliminary positioning is carried out. Next, the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503 is started to push the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 to rotate, so that the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 gradually approaches the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism 508 to press the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment. Finally, by tightening the locking bolts on the spot welding locking blocks 506, the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 is fixed to ensure that the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment always remain stable during the spot welding process, creating good conditions for high-quality welding operation.
[0106] Furthermore, the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 includes: an upper adjustment box body 5071, which is installed at the other end of the spot welding pressing and rotating plate 505. Specifically, the upper adjustment box body 5071 is made of aluminum alloy and is tightly installed at the other end of the spot welding pressing and rotating plate 505 through high-strength bolts. The aluminum alloy material not only has a light mass, which can reduce the load of the entire mechanism and is beneficial to the operation of the equipment, but also has excellent heat dissipation performance, can quickly dissipate the heat generated during the spot welding process, and avoid damage to components due to overheating.

Specifically, the upper adjustment plate 5075 is installed at the other end of the upper telescopic adjustment column 5072, and the material is engineering plastic. This material has good insulation and certain flexibility, can not only prevent current leakage and ensure operation safety, but also play a buffering role during the pressing process to avoid hard impact on components such as the upper spot welding connection block 5077. The surface of the upper adjustment plate 5075 is designed with anti-slip patterns, which increases the friction with the upper spot welding connection block 5077 and prevents displacement during adjustment.

Specifically, the upper adjusting spring 5076 is made of high-quality alloy steel and has a high elastic limit and fatigue life after a special heat treatment process. During the spot welding process, it can automatically adjust the elastic force according to the pressure change to ensure that the upper spot welding piece 5079 always maintains a stable pressure contact with the welding part. When the pressure is too high, the spring will compress to buffer the pressure; when the pressure decreases, the spring will stretch to maintain the necessary pressing force, thus ensuring the stability of the welding quality.

The upper circulating cooling pipe inlet 50710 and the upper circulating cooling pipe outlet 50711 are made of stainless steel pipes, having good corrosion resistance and compressive resistance. When designing the U-shaped circulating pipeline, the resistance of the water flow and the heat dissipation efficiency are fully considered. A large amount of heat generated during the spot welding process is taken away by the circulating coolant, effectively reducing the temperature of the upper spot welding piece 5079 and the welding part, preventing the solder joints from deforming and oxidizing due to overheating, prolonging the service life of the upper spot welding piece 5079, and improving the stability of the welding quality.

It is made of an alloy material resistant to high temperature and wear, and its surface has been specially hardened, enabling it to maintain good performance in a high-temperature and high-pressure spot welding environment, ensuring the stability of the welding quality.
[0119] The lower circulating cooling pipe inlet 50810; the lower circulating cooling pipe outlet 50811; wherein, the lower circulating cooling pipe inlet 50810 and the lower circulating cooling pipe outlet 50811 are connected through a U-shaped circulating pipe opened in the lower spot welding connection block 5087. Specifically, the lower circulating cooling pipe inlet 50810 and the lower circulating cooling pipe outlet 50811 are connected through a U-shaped circulating pipe opened in the lower spot welding connection block 5087. The lower circulating cooling pipe inlet 50810 and the lower circulating cooling pipe outlet 50811 are made of stainless steel pipes, with good corrosion resistance and sealing performance. The design of the U-shaped circulating pipe enables the cooling liquid to fully flow through the lower spot welding connection block 5087, taking away a large amount of heat generated during the spot welding process. The cooling liquid flows in from the lower circulating cooling pipe inlet 50810, circulates in the U-shaped circulating pipe, absorbs heat and then flows out from the lower circulating cooling pipe outlet 50811, effectively reducing the temperature of the lower spot welding connection block 5087 and the lower spot welding piece 5089, extending their service life, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the spot welding process.

The device further includes: a base 6. Specifically, when the number of spot welding positioning and pressing structures is two, they are fixedly installed on the base 6 in an exact symmetrical manner. During the installation process, the staff will use high-precision measuring tools for positioning and calibration, and fix the spot welding positioning and pressing structures on the base 6 through multiple high-strength bolts to ensure that there will be no displacement or shaking during the welding process, thus providing a solid foundation for the welding quality.
[0123] The device further includes: a robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7. Specifically, the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 is the core operating component of the device. It is installed on the top of the device through a rotating robotic arm. The rotating robotic arm adopts an advanced articulated design and has multiple degrees of freedom, enabling flexible movement and rotation in three-dimensional space. High-precision servo motors and reducers are equipped at each joint part of the robotic arm, enabling precise position control and movement speed adjustment. The main structure of the robotic arm is made of lightweight and high-strength aluminum alloy material, which effectively reduces its own weight while ensuring structural strength, improving the flexibility and response speed of movement.
[0124] An upper spot welding electrode and a lower spot welding electrode are installed at the end of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7. When welding the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment, the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 will accurately move the upper spot welding electrode to the position where it fits with the upper spot welding piece 5079 and move the lower spot welding electrode to the position where it fits with the lower spot welding piece 5089 according to the pre-set program through the rotating robotic arm. During the fitting process, the robotic arm will real-time monitor the fitting pressure through a force sensor to ensure that the contact pressure between the upper spot welding electrode and the upper spot welding piece 5079 and between the lower spot welding electrode and the lower spot welding piece 5089 is uniform and appropriate, so as to ensure that the current can stably pass through the welding part and achieve high-quality welding.
[0125] Among them, when the number of spot welding positioning and pressing structures is two, the spot welding positioning and pressing structures are symmetrically arranged and fixedly installed on the base 6; the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 is installed on the top of the equipment through a rotating robotic arm; when welding the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment, the upper spot welding electrode of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 is in contact with the upper spot welding sheet 5079; the lower spot welding electrode of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 is in contact with the lower spot welding sheet 5089.
[0126] The equipment further includes: an electrical control box 8. Specifically, various electrical control components are installed inside the electrical control box 8, such as a programmable logic controller (PLC), a transformer, a contactor, a relay, etc. These electrical components are connected together through a carefully designed circuit to achieve precise control and coordinated operation of each component of the equipment.
[0127] In addition, the electrical control box 8 is also equipped with various protection devices, such as overcurrent protection, overvoltage protection, leakage protection, etc., which can cut off the power supply in time when abnormal conditions occur in the equipment to protect the safety of the equipment and the operator.
[0128] During actual welding operations, the operator first places the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment in the corresponding positions of the spot welding positioning and pressing structure, and precisely positions and firmly presses them through the spot welding positioning and pressing structure. Then, the operator sends a welding instruction to the electrical control box 8 through the operation panel. After receiving the instruction, the electrical control box 8 controls the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 to start operating. The robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 moves the upper spot welding electrode and the lower spot welding electrode to the positions in contact with the upper spot welding sheet 5079 and the lower spot welding sheet 5089 respectively through the rotating robotic arm. At the same time, the electrical control box 8 controls the transformer to output an appropriate welding current, and the current forms a loop through the upper spot welding electrode, the upper spot welding sheet 5079, the special-shaped steel wire, the folded weldment, the lower spot welding sheet 5089 and the lower spot welding electrode, generating resistance heat at the welding part, melting and fusing the contact points of the special-shaped steel wire and the folded weldment together quickly to complete the welding process. After welding is completed, the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 returns to the initial position, and the operator can take out the welded workpiece to perform the next round of welding operations.
[0129] Embodiment 3
[0130] A spot welding method, which is applicable to the spot welding equipment described in the above Embodiment 2, and the method includes:
[0131] S1. Use a mechanical gripping device to place the special-shaped steel wire in the first end compression groove 105, the middle end compression groove 204, and the second end compression groove 304. Specifically, a mechanical gripping device equipped with a high-precision visual recognition system is used to accurately identify the shape and size of the special-shaped steel wire. The gripping claws of the mechanical gripping device are specially designed and inlaid with soft and non-slip rubber pads, which can firmly grasp the special-shaped steel wire without damaging its surface. According to a pre-set program, the mechanical gripping device accurately moves to the special-shaped steel wire storage area. Through fine-tuning the positioning, the gripping claws firmly grasp the special-shaped steel wire. Subsequently, the mechanical gripping device transports the special-shaped steel wire to the top of the spot welding positioning and compression structure according to the planned path. Through precise position control, the first end, the middle key part, and the second end of the special-shaped steel wire are placed in the first end compression groove 105, the middle end compression groove 204, and the second end compression groove 304, respectively, preparing for the subsequent compression operation.
[0132] S101, through the position sensing sensors embedded in the inner side surfaces of the first end pressing groove 105, the middle end pressing groove 204 and the second end pressing groove 304, it is possible to sequentially sense whether each part of the special-shaped steel wire is correctly located in the first end pressing groove 105, the middle end pressing groove 204 and the second end pressing groove 304. When each position sensing sensor senses that each part of the special-shaped steel wire is located in the first end pressing groove 105, the middle end pressing groove 204 and the second end pressing groove 304, then proceed to S2; otherwise, the mechanical grasping device is turned on again to grasp the special-shaped steel wire and re-place it. Specifically, after the special-shaped steel wire is placed in the designated position by the mechanical grasping device, the three position sensing sensors will sequentially detect the corresponding parts of the special-shaped steel wire in a specific order. The sensor in the first end clamping groove 105 starts first, quickly scanning the end of the steel wire to determine whether it falls accurately at the preset position in the groove; then, the sensor in the middle end clamping groove 204 starts working to detect the middle position of the special-shaped steel wire; finally, the sensor in the second end clamping groove 304 detects the other end of the steel wire.
[0133] If the information feedback from each position sensing sensor indicates that all parts of the special-shaped steel wire are accurately located in the first end clamping groove 105, the middle end clamping groove 204 and the second end clamping groove 304, the system will automatically trigger the subsequent S2 processing step to promote the smooth progress of the production process.
[0134] Conversely, once any sensor feedback indicates a deviation in the position of the special-shaped steel wire, the control system will immediately send a command to the mechanical grasping device to activate the mechanical grasping device again. The mechanical grasping device operates precisely, quickly grasps the special-shaped steel wire, and repositions it according to the preset program. Then the sensor conducts detection again until all parts of the special-shaped steel wire are in the correct position, thus ensuring the accuracy and stability of the entire production process.
[0135] S2. Activate the first end telescopic cylinder 106, the middle end telescopic cylinder 205, and the second end telescopic cylinder 305 to press-fit the special-shaped steel wire into the first end pressing groove 105, the middle end pressing groove 204, and the second end pressing groove 304.
[0136] S201. When the special-shaped steel wire is in place, the control system sends commands to the first end telescopic cylinder 106, the middle end telescopic cylinder 205, and the second end telescopic cylinder 305. The first end telescopic cylinder 106 starts, pushes the first end hinge block 107, drives the first end rotating plate 108 and the first end pressing block 109 to act, and presses the first end of the special-shaped steel wire into the first end pressing groove 105. Through the first pressure sensor installed at the bottom of the first end pressing groove 105, it senses and feedbacks whether the first end of the special-shaped steel wire is pressed into the first end pressing groove 105. If the feedback indicates proper pressing, proceed to S202; otherwise, control the first end telescopic cylinder 106 to lift the first end pressing block 109 and repeat the pressing process. Specifically, the first pressure sensor utilizes the advanced piezoelectric effect principle and can keenly capture pressure changes. When the first end of the special-shaped steel wire is pressed, the surface of the pressure sensor is subjected to the pressure from the wire end. The sensor converts this pressure signal into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system in real-time, thereby sensing and feedbacking whether the first end of the special-shaped steel wire is pressed into the first end pressing groove 105 and whether the pressing force meets the preset process standards. The control system makes precise judgments and analyses based on the signals feedbacked by the sensor. If the pressing force does not meet the standard, it will issue further action commands to the first end telescopic cylinder 106 to ensure that the special-shaped steel wire is stably and effectively pressed.
[0137] S202. The piston rod of the middle end telescopic cylinder 205 extends, driving the middle end hinge block 206 and the middle end rotating plate 207 to rotate, so that multiple middle end pressing blocks 208 press down simultaneously, and the corresponding parts of the cross bar, folding bar and vertical bar of the special-shaped steel wire are stably pressed in the middle end pressing groove 204. Through the middle pressure sensor installed at the bottom of the middle end pressing groove 204, it senses and feedbacks whether the middle end of the special-shaped steel wire is pressed into the middle end pressing groove 204; if the feedback is pressed, S203 is carried out; otherwise, the middle end telescopic cylinder 205 is controlled to lift multiple middle end pressing blocks 208 and re-perform the pressing process. Specifically, the middle pressure sensor uses the advanced piezoelectric effect principle. When the middle end pressing block 208 presses the special-shaped steel wire into the middle end pressing groove 204, the steel wire generates pressure on the surface of the sensor, and the sensor quickly senses this pressure change and converts it into an electrical signal and transmits it to the control system. The control system accurately judges whether the second end of the special-shaped steel wire has been effectively pressed into the middle end pressing groove 204 according to the received signal.
[0138] S203. The second end telescopic cylinder 305 also works synchronously, pushing the second end hinge block 306 and the second end rotating plate 307, so that the second end pressing block 308 presses the second end of the special-shaped steel wire into the second end pressing groove 304. Through the second pressure sensor installed at the bottom of the second end pressing groove 304, it senses and feedbacks whether the second end of the special-shaped steel wire is pressed into the second end pressing groove 304; if the feedback is pressed, S3 is carried out; otherwise, the second end telescopic cylinder 305 is controlled to lift multiple second end pressing blocks 308 and re-perform the pressing process.
[0139] At the same time, during this process, the pressure output of each cylinder is monitored in real time and accurately controlled to ensure that the special-shaped steel wire can be evenly and stably pressed at each part.
[0140] S3. The to-be-welded end of the folded weldment is placed on the special-shaped steel wire through a mechanical grasping device, and the other end of the folded weldment is inserted into the block with an arc-shaped groove, and the folded weldment is perpendicular to the special-shaped steel wire;
[0141] S301. Use the position sensing sensors embedded in the inner side surfaces of the arc groove to sense whether the other end of the folded weldment is correctly located in the arc groove. When the position sensing sensors all sense that the other end of the folded weldment is located in the arc groove, proceed to S4; otherwise, turn on the mechanical grasping device again to grasp the folded weldment and re-place it. Specifically, after the mechanical grasping device completes the placement of the special-shaped steel wire, it quickly switches to the folded weldment storage area. Similarly, with the help of the visual recognition system, the position and posture of the folded weldment are identified and located. The grippers of the mechanical grasping device are adaptively adjusted to accurately grasp the folded weldment. Then, the mechanical grasping device transports the folded weldment to the top of the spot welding station, and through precise angle and position control, the end of the folded weldment to be welded is stably placed on the special-shaped steel wire to ensure that the welding parts of the two are accurately aligned. At the same time, the other end of the folding weldment is inserted into the block 404 with an arc groove of the folding weldment pressing top plate 403, and the folding weldment and the special-shaped steel wire are ensured to be perpendicular to each other, laying the foundation for subsequent pressing and welding operations.
[0142] S4, open the first folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 405 and the second folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 407 to press the other end of the folding weldment;
[0143] S401. After the folding weldment is in place, the control system sends instructions to the first folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 405 and the second folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 407. The first folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 405 is activated to press the other end of the folding weldment against the folding weldment pressing top plate 403. The third pressure sensor installed on the folding weldment pressing top plate 403 senses and feedback whether the other end of the folding weldment is pressed against the folding weldment pressing top plate 403. If the feedback is pressed, S402 is performed; otherwise, the first folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 405 is controlled to move the first folding weldment pressing block 406 away and the pressing process is restarted.
[0144] S402, the second folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 407 is started, pushing the second folding weldment pressing block 408 to move toward the middle end of the folding weldment, pressing the other end of the folding weldment to the folding weldment pressing top plate 403, and through the third pressure sensor installed on the folding weldment pressing top plate 403, it is sensed again whether the middle end of the folding weldment is pressed to the folding weldment pressing top plate 403; if the feedback is pressed, step 5 is performed; otherwise, the first folding weldment pressing telescopic cylinder 405 is controlled to move the first folding weldment pressing block 406 away, and the pressing process is restarted.
[0145] This system achieves coordinated compression of multiple parts of the folding weldment. During the compression process, the pressure sensor monitors the compression force in real time to ensure that the folding weldment remains stable throughout the welding process.
[0146] S5. Activate the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503 to press the welding end of the folded workpiece against the welding end of the special-shaped steel wire. Among them, the upper spot welding piece 5079 is in contact with the welding end of the folded workpiece, and the lower spot welding piece 5089 is in contact with the welding end of the special-shaped steel wire. Specifically, the control system sends a command to the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503, and the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503 starts, pushing the spot welding pressing hinge block 504 and the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 to rotate. The adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 installed at the other end of the spot welding pressing rotating plate 505 moves downward accordingly, making the upper spot welding piece 5079 gradually approach the welding end of the folded workpiece. At the same time, the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism 508 serves as a support to ensure the stable position of the welding end of the special-shaped steel wire. When the upper and lower spot welding pieces are respectively in contact with the welding ends of the folded workpiece and the special-shaped steel wire, the spot welding pressing telescopic cylinder 503 continues to apply a certain pressure to achieve the preliminary pressing of the welding part, creating good conditions for the subsequent spot welding operation.
[0147] S6. The robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 reaches the welding position through the rotating robotic arm. The upper spot welding electrode of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 is in contact with the upper spot welding piece 5079; the lower spot welding electrode of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 is in contact with the lower spot welding piece 5089. Specifically, after receiving the command sent by the control system, the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 starts to act through the rotating robotic arm. Each joint of the rotating robotic arm is driven by a high-precision servo motor and can achieve fast and accurate positioning. The robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 moves along the preset path, making the upper and lower spot welding electrodes of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 approach the adjustable spot welding upper pressing block mechanism 507 and the adjustable spot welding lower pressing block mechanism 508 respectively. When reaching the welding position, the upper spot welding electrode is precisely in contact with the upper spot welding piece 5079, and the lower spot welding electrode is precisely in contact with the lower spot welding piece 5089, preparing for the subsequent spot welding operation.
[0148] S7. Turn on the upper and lower welding electrodes of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7. Press the upper welding electrode downward tightly. Then, through the adjustable upper pressure block mechanism 507 and the adjustable lower pressure block mechanism 508 of the spot welding, make the upper welding sheet 5079 fit tightly with the welding end of the folded workpiece, and make the lower welding sheet 5089 fit tightly with the welding end of the special-shaped steel wire to complete the spot welding. Specifically, when the upper and lower welding electrodes of the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 are in contact with the corresponding welding sheets, the control system sends a spot welding instruction to the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7. Under the control of the control system, the upper welding electrode applies a certain pressure downward. At the same time, the upper adjusting spring 5076 and the lower adjusting spring 5086 in the adjustable upper pressure block mechanism 507 and the adjustable lower pressure block mechanism 508 are elastically adjusted according to the preset pressure to ensure that the upper welding sheet 5079 fits tightly with the welding end of the folded workpiece and the lower welding sheet 5089 fits tightly with the welding end of the special-shaped steel wire. At this time, the spot welding current forms a loop through the upper welding electrode, the upper welding sheet 5079, the folded workpiece, the special-shaped steel wire, the lower welding sheet 5089 and the lower welding electrode, generating resistance heat at the welding part, melting the metal at the welding part quickly and fusing them together to complete the spot welding operation. During the spot welding process, the spot welding current and the temperature of the welding part are monitored in real time through the current sensor and the temperature sensor to ensure the stability and reliability of the spot welding process.
[0149] S8. After completing the spot welding, the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 releases the upper and lower welding electrodes, moves to the next welding station to be processed, and repeats S1 - S7. Specifically, after completing the spot welding, the robotic arm type spot welding mechanism 7 receives the instruction sent by the control system, releases the upper and lower welding electrodes, and moves to the next welding station to be processed according to the preset path. At the same time, each pressing cylinder is released in sequence. The mechanical grasping device takes out the welded workpiece and places the new special-shaped steel wire and folded workpiece in the corresponding positions, repeating the operations of S1 - S7 to realize the automatic cycle of the spot welding operation and improve the production efficiency.
