Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a bearing seat assembly welding fixing device and its use method, belonging to the technical field of welding fixing tooling. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the manufacturing process of bearing seat assemblies, steps such as assembly, welding, fluorescent inspection, X-ray inspection, aging treatment, nickel graphite coating spraying, washing and sealing test are involved to ensure the precision, quality and reliability of the assembly. However, in the current production process, especially in the welding link, the existing welding equipment has obvious deficiencies in automatic positioning of parts. This means that during the assembly process, operators need to manually align and adjust the positions of various parts, which not only consumes time and effort, but also makes it difficult to ensure high-precision fitting between parts, thereby affecting the performance and stability of the final product.

[0003] Secondly, the high temperature generated during the welding process is an important safety and production efficiency obstacle. Due to the extremely high temperature in the welding area, operators cannot directly fix the parts for a long time with their hands, which not only increases the operation difficulty, but also may cause welding defects such as discontinuous welds, misalignment, etc. due to the deviation of the position of the parts.

[0004] Furthermore, for welding positions that require argon gas protection, existing equipment and technology are difficult to effectively cope with the limitations of product structure. Especially in bearing seat assemblies with complex structure or narrow space, the lack of appropriate auxiliary devices makes it extremely difficult to provide argon gas protection, thereby increasing the risk of oxidation and contamination during the welding process.

[0005] Finally, the parts in the bearing seat assembly often have strict relative position and distance requirements. Without special auxiliary positioning equipment, it is difficult to ensure that these requirements are met. This not only may cause the assembled assembly to not meet the design requirements, but also may cause running failures or safety hazards due to assembly errors. SUMMARY

[0006] To solve the problems in the background art, the present application provides a bearing seat assembly welding fixing device and its use method.

[0011] The positioning sleeve is provided with a vent hole that communicates with the rear section of the outer wall of the oil cavity and the bearing seat, and a guide tube is inserted into the vent hole with an interference fit.
