Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of sheet metal welding spot detection, and in particular relates to a rapid testing device for sheet metal welding spots of new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] The body structure of energy vehicles is mostly made of sheet metal parts connected by welding. The quality of welds is the key part connecting various sheet metal components. It is directly related to the overall structural strength of the body. If there are defects in the welds, such as cold welds, leaking welds, insufficient welding strength, etc., during the vehicle driving process, especially when encountering external forces such as bumps and collisions, the connection between the body sheet metal parts may loosen or break, thereby affecting the overall structural integrity of the vehicle and failing to effectively protect the lives of passengers in the vehicle. For example, a vehicle sheet metal weld detection device is proposed in patent announcement number CN102944465B.

[0003] Since the seaside is usually an area with a relatively fragile and sensitive ecological environment, new energy vehicles are powered by electricity and do not produce exhaust emissions. They can effectively reduce pollution to the marine environment and coastal air quality, and protect the marine ecosystem and the living environment of coastal residents. Therefore, some coastal cities have introduced a series of new energy vehicle purchase subsidy policies, which has led to an increasing number of new energy vehicles in coastal cities. New energy vehicles that have been driven on the seaside for a long time have their sheet metal welds corroded by salt in the water vapor. Compared with cars driven in dry inland areas, their weld strength decreases faster. The existing testing equipment lacks the ability to test sheet metal welds in a corroded state, and the test data is not comprehensive. In addition, the welds at positions such as body pillars and door edges are vertical, and the space in these positions is narrow, which will limit the inspectors' line of sight and make manual inspection inconvenient.

[0004] To this end, a rapid testing device for sheet metal welds of new energy vehicles is proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0039] The positioning assembly 37 is arranged below the test assembly 13 and behind the test plate 21, and is used to find the position of the sheet metal weld; the positioning assembly 37 includes a positioning electric push rod 371 located behind the test plate 21, and the moving end of the positioning electric push rod 371 is fixedly connected to the positioning box 372, and the left and right sides of the positioning box 372 are connected to the positioning blocks 38 by springs, and the left and right sides of the positioning block 38 are fixedly connected to the trigger frame 39, and the trigger frame 39 is electrically connected to the external power supply, and the upper inner wall of the positioning box 372 is inlaid with a trigger plate 40, and the trigger plate 40 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 3, and the lower side wall of the positioning block 38 is fixedly connected to the fixed plate 41, and the lower side wall of the positioning box 372 is provided with a fixed plate 41.

[0042] The outer wall of the telescopic cylinder 42 is fixedly connected with a squeeze switch 36 . The squeeze switch 36 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 3 , and can make the telescopic cylinder 42 contact with the upper surface of the sheet metal part.

[0043] The operating principle of the present invention is now explained as follows: the sheet metal parts at positions such as the body pillars and door edges of the new energy vehicle are welded, and then the mounting base 5 is moved to the top of the sheet metal part by the robotic arm mechanism 2, and the two test plates 21 are located on the left and right sides of the sheet metal part, and the operator adsorbs the electric suction cup 7 on the side wall of the sheet metal part to align the ultrasonic probe 6 with the welding points on the surface of the sheet metal part, and then the operator transmits an electrical signal to the PLC controller 3 through the control panel of the peripheral device. After receiving the electrical signal, the PLC controller 3 first controls the second electric push rod 25 to work, and the second electric push rod 25 will drive the test box 131 and the two test plates 21 to move downward together, so that the test plates 21 are located on the left and right sides of the sheet metal part, and then the PLC controller 3 controls the test motor 14 to work;

[0044] The test motor 14 controls the rotation of the threaded rod 132, and drives the two threaded cylinders 15 to move toward each other through the threaded cooperation. The threaded cylinder 15 drives the cross box 17, the test block 18, the bent rod 20 and the test plate 21 to move toward the sheet metal through the guide plate 16, so that the test plate 21 contacts the left and right sides of the sheet metal. When the test plate 21 on one side contacts the sheet metal first, and the other test plate 21 does not contact the sheet metal, the test plate 21 that contacts the sheet metal first will generate an interaction force with the sheet metal. Under the action of the interaction force, the test box 131 will drive the second electric push rod 25, the movable frame 12, and the limit block 81 to gradually move toward the sheet metal. , until the other test plate 21 contacts the other side of the sheet metal. When the other test plate 21 contacts the sheet metal, the two test plates 21 will generate an interaction force with the sheet metal. The two test plates 21 are provided with pressure sensors near the side walls of the sheet metal. After the pressure sensors detect the extrusion force between the two test plates 21 and the sheet metal, the two pressure sensors will send an electrical signal to the PLC controller 3. After receiving the electrical signal, the PLC controller 3 will control the test motor 14 to stop working. At the same time, the PLC controller 3 will also control the limit electric push rod 9 to drive the rough plate 10 to move upward a set distance. Through the friction between the rough plate 10 and the rough seat 11 Friction is used to fix the positions of the limit block 81, the second electric push rod 25, the test box 131 and the test plate 21. Then the PLC controller 3 controls the first electric push rod 4 to work reciprocatingly. The first electric push rod 4 will drive the mounting base 5, the test box 131, the test plate 21 and the upper half of the two welded sheet metal parts to deviate left and right. The lower part of the sheet metal parts is fixed to the vehicle body and will not move. When the upper half of the two sheet metal parts are pushed to rotate, due to the thickness of the sheet metal parts, the deviation of the upper half will cause a tendency of relative movement on the contact surface during the rotation process, thereby generating a shear force on the weld between the two sheet metal parts, which is destroyed by the shear force. At the same time, ultrasonic detection is used The head 6 detects the welding point. When the detection finds that the welding point is damaged, the PLC controller 3 will control the air supply electric push rod 28 to reciprocate once, and at the same time control the first electromagnetic one-way valve 50 inside the air supply pipe 49 to open. The air supply electric push rod 28 will control the lifting plate 29 to press down the telescopic air bag 30, so that the gas inside the telescopic air bag 30 is transported to the display tube 48 through the vertical pipe 31, the support pipe 33 and the air supply pipe 49, so that the air pressure under the piston plate 52 increases, and the piston plate 52 pushes the reading column 53 to move the scale distance upward. At the same time, the PLC controller 3 will also control the external prompt device to work (the prompt device is a buzzer) to remind the operator to test another sheet metal welding point;

[0045] Similarly, when the air pressure sensor inside the storage box 221 detects that the air pressure inside the storage box 221 decreases, the PLC controller 3 will repeat the above steps and control the second electromagnetic one-way valve 56 inside the pressurizing pipe 34 to be energized, so that external air can be continuously supplied to the storage box 221 for storage. When the air supply electric push rod 28 drives the telescopic airbag 30 to move upward, the air pressure inside the telescopic airbag 30 will decrease, and the external air will enter the telescopic airbag 30 through the cross pipe 32 and the air supply one-way valve 35 for storage.

[0046] When the sheet metal welding point is not damaged, the PLC controller 3 will control the test motor 14 to work in the reverse direction to separate the two test plates 21 from the sheet metal. Then the PLC controller 3 will control the second electric push rod 25 to drive the test box 131 to move upward a certain distance, so that the two test plates 21 are moved above the sheet metal. Then the PLC controller 3 controls the test motor 14 to continue to work in the forward direction, controlling the two test plates 21 to merge together so that the two test plates 21 are directly above the sheet metal. Then the PLC controller 3 controls the positioning electric push rod 371 to drive the positioning box 372 and the telescopic cylinder 42 to move downward so that the position of the lower end plane of the telescopic cylinder 42 is lower than the position of the lower end plane of the test plate 21. , and the positioning box 372 and the telescopic cylinder 42 are arranged behind the right test plate 21, and after the two test plates 21 are merged, the joint of the two test plates 21 and the central axis of the plug plate 45 are on the same vertical plane, and then the PLC controller 3 controls the second electric push rod 25 to drive the test box 131, the positioning box 372, and the telescopic cylinder 42 to move downward together. When the extrusion switch 36 on the side wall of the telescopic cylinder 42 contacts the upper side wall of the sheet metal, the PLC controller 3 will control the second electric push rod 25 to stop working, and at the same time, the PLC controller 3 controls the electromagnetic plate 47 to cut off the power and lose the magnetic force. Under the action of the spring tension, the permanent magnet plate 46 will drive the plug rod 44 and the plug plate 45 to move downward, so that the plug plate 45 and the sheet metal are aligned. The upper surface is in contact, and then the first electric push rod 4 is controlled to move with a gradually increasing amplitude, driving the mounting seat 5, the second electric push rod 25, the test box 131, the positioning box 372, the telescopic cylinder 42 and the insert plate 45 to move left and right on the upper surface of the sheet metal. When the insert plate 45 moves and inserts into the weld of the sheet metal, the weld will apply a resistance to the insert plate 45, and the insert plate 45 will drive the telescopic cylinder 42, the fixed plate 41, and the positioning block 38 to stop working immediately, while the positioning box 372 continues to move under the push of the first electric push rod 4, so that the positioning block 38 drives the trigger frame 39 to slide relatively in the positioning box 372, and the trigger frame 39 and the trigger plate 40 will contact (the distance between the trigger frame 39 and the trigger plate 40 is 0.01mm ), the trigger frame 39 is electrically connected to the external power supply, and the trigger plate 40 is electrically connected to the PLC controller 3. When the trigger frame 39 and the trigger plate 40 are in contact, an electrical signal is immediately transmitted to the PLC controller 3. After receiving the electrical signal, the PLC controller 3 immediately controls the first electric push rod 4 to stop working. At this time, the lower end tips of the two combined test plates 21 will be at a distance of 0.01mm offset from the center axis of the weld (the minimum weld width of the sheet metal parts of new energy vehicles is 0.1-2mm). Then the PLC controller 3 controls the second electric push rod 25 to drive the lower end tip of the combined test plate 21 into the weld, and then the PLC controller 3 controls the test motor 14 to work in the reverse direction 0.5 seconds, referring to the above principle, the two test plates 21 will move one centimeter away from each other, thereby tearing the weld of the sheet metal. At this time, the quality of the weld will continue to be tested by the ultrasonic probe 6. When a problem is found during the test, the above steps will be repeated to control the reading column 53 to move upward by the distance of the scale. At the same time, the external prompt device will be controlled to work (the prompt device is a buzzer) to remind the operator to test another weld of the sheet metal. When the test result is no problem, the PLC controller 3 will control the control valve 26 to open for two seconds to allow the corrosive solution (the solution is an acetate mist solution) inside the storage box 221 to be discharged. Ingredients: Add an appropriate amount of glacial acetic acid to a 5% sodium chloride solution to lower the solution's pH to around 3, creating an acidic salt spray environment. Corrosion Principle: In addition to the corrosive effects of chloride ions, an acidic environment further exacerbates metal corrosion because metals are more likely to lose electrons and undergo oxidation under acidic conditions. After the solution corrodes the solder joints for one hour, PLC controller 3 repeats the above test steps to test the solder joint strength, simulating the condition of long-term exposure to salt corrosion in seaside water vapor. The strength of the sheet metal solder joints is then tested, thereby improving the comprehensiveness and diversity of the test data.
