Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of laser welding, and relates to a laser welding device for vehicle brackets. Background Art

[0002] As a structural component widely used inside vehicles, vehicle brackets must undergo a series of fine processing procedures during their production process. Among these procedures, laser welding plays a crucial role. Laser welding equipment, as a cutting-edge welding technology, uses a high-energy-density laser beam as a heat source. By precisely adjusting the output power of the laser, the focal position, and the scanning path, it can achieve rapid, efficient, and precise welding of vehicle bracket materials. This welding technology not only improves the welding accuracy and quality but also significantly reduces the heat-affected area of the materials, ensuring the structural strength and durability of vehicle brackets.

[0003] Current laser welding equipment for vehicle brackets cannot achieve continuous welding of multiple vehicle brackets when performing laser welding tasks. Whenever one welding is completed, the vehicle bracket must be disassembled first before the next welding can be carried out. Therefore, it is very necessary to design a laser welding device for vehicle brackets. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the above problems existing in the prior art and propose a laser welding device for vehicle brackets.

[0005] The purpose of the present invention can be achieved by the following technical solutions: A laser welding device for vehicle brackets includes two vertical supports and a laser welding head. It is characterized in that the vertical supports are connected by a reinforcing rod. Guide wheels are rotatably installed on the column supports. A plate-type conveyor belt is sleeved between the guide wheels. The plate-type conveyor belt has a number of positioning ports evenly distributed thereon. The side of the plate-type conveyor belt is connected to a movable table through a connecting arm. A positioning structure capable of positioning the vehicle bracket is provided on the movable table. An auxiliary seat is installed on the reinforcing rod. A lifting housing is provided on the auxiliary seat. The lifting housing is connected to a driving structure capable of driving it up and down. A gear ring is rotatably installed at the bottom of the lifting housing through a fixed shaft. The laser welding head is connected to the gear ring through a fixed arm, and the working head of the laser welding head can move up and down. A steering motor is installed on the fixed shaft through a motor plate. The end of the output shaft of the steering motor is connected to a driving gear, and the driving gear meshes with the gear ring. The plate-type conveyor belt is also connected to a linkage module capable of making it move.

[0006] With this structure, the vehicle-mounted bracket is fixed to the movable table through the positioning structure. The lifting housing is moved downward by the driving structure. The lifting housing drives the laser welding head to move downward. The driving wheel gear is rotated by the steering motor, and the power gear drives the gear ring to rotate, thereby driving the laser welding head to rotate. The laser welding operation of the vehicle-mounted bracket can be completed by using the laser welding head. At the same time, under the action of the linkage module, the plate conveyor belt can be operated as needed to drive the moving table to move, so that the entire welding can be continuously operated.

[0007] The positioning structure includes a placement table, a quick clamp one, a quick clamp two, a quick clamp three, and an L-shaped limiting member. The placement table is installed on the movable table. The quick clamp one is installed in the middle of the placement table through a fixing seat one, and the rod body of the quick clamp one is vertically downward. The end of the rod body of the quick clamp one is connected to an L-shaped pressing block. The quick clamp two is installed at one end of the placement table through a fixing seat two, and the rod body of the quick clamp two is horizontally arranged. The end of the rod body of the quick clamp two is connected to a lateral pressing block one. The quick clamp three is installed at the other end of the placement table through a fixing seat three, and the rod body of the quick clamp three is horizontally arranged. The end of the rod body of the quick clamp three is connected to a lateral pressing block two.

[0008] A plurality of positioning pins are installed on the placement table.

[0009] With this structure, the vehicle-mounted bracket includes a plate-shaped body one and a cylindrical body two. The body one is positioned on the placement table through the positioning pins and fixed by the lateral pressing block one and the lateral pressing block two. Then, the body two is pressed on the body one by the L-shaped pressing block, thus completing the fixing preparation before welding of the vehicle-mounted bracket, and the positioning is reliable.

[0010] The placement table also has a U-shaped blocking cover.

[0011] The driving structure includes a vertical plate, a rodless cylinder, and a transmission arm. The vertical plate is connected to the auxiliary seat through a mounting frame. The rodless cylinder is vertically installed on the vertical plate. The slide of the rodless cylinder is connected to one end of the transmission arm.

[0012] With this structure, the slide of the rodless cylinder can drive the transmission arm to move up and down, and the transmission arm drives the lifting housing to move up and down.

[0013] Upper and lower limit members are also installed on the vertical plate.

[0014] The linkage module includes a swing-type linkage push rod, a restrictive guide seat, an auxiliary positioning swing arm, and an auxiliary support seat.

There is a second spring between the middle of the auxiliary positioning swing arm and the auxiliary support seat. A limiting stop rod that cooperates with the swing-type linkage push rod is also provided on the connecting block.

[0015] With this structure, whenever the lifting housing moves downward, the lower end of the auxiliary positioning swing arm is inserted into the positioning port. Under the cooperation of the wheel and the right-angled trapezoidal working block, the plate conveyor belt is pushed to automatically move forward a specified distance. When the lifting housing resets upward, under the cooperation of the electromagnet, the plate conveyor belt can be fixed to prevent accidental sliding, and the linkage effect is good.

[0016] An adjustment block is installed on the connecting block. The limiting stop rod is horizontally slidably connected to the adjustment block. A locking screw is also threadedly connected to the adjustment block.

[0017] With this structure, the position of the limiting stop rod can be adjusted to meet different requirements for the pushing stroke.
