A plurality of fixing plates 27 are rotatably matched in the mold 22. The fixing plates 27 are placed in the side walls of the mold 22. The fixing plates 27 rotate into the mold 22 to clamp and fix the parts located in the mold 22. A plurality of auxiliary wheels 212 are arranged on the workbench 1. The auxiliary wheels 212 are symmetrically arranged beside the mold 22. A hydraulic distributor 213 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1. The hydraulic distributor 213 controls the up and down movement of each auxiliary wheel 212. The hydraulic distributor 213 is communicated with a hydraulic system outside the device. The auxiliary mechanism 3 includes a positioning frame 31 and a positioning wheel 34. The positioning frame 31 is fixedly arranged on the workbench 1 and is located next to the mold 22. A plurality of positioning wheels 34 are movably arranged on the positioning frame 31. The positioning wheels 34 are symmetrically arranged on the positioning frame 31.

When the curved surface part is placed on the mold 22, the curved surface part is fixed between the positioning wheels 34.

[0022] When using the present invention: First, place the part in the mold 22 (when the part is smaller than the capacity of the mold 22 and the part is not a curved part), start the fixing plate 27, the fixing plate 27 rotates to fix the part in the mold 22, and then start the welding head 26, the welding head 26 rotates and moves downward, so that the welding head 26 moves toward the part in the mold 22, so that the welding head 26 friction welds the part in the mold 22, and then the welding head 26 and the fixing plate 27 are reset, and the friction welded part is taken out of the mold 22. When welding a part (curved surface part), the part (curved surface part) is placed above the mold 22, and the part (curved surface part) is clamped between the upper and lower positioning wheels 34, and the positioning wheels 34 move up and down on the positioning frame 31 to clamp and fix the part (curved surface part) in a self-adaptive manner, and the hydraulic distributor 213 is started, and the hydraulic distributor 213 uses hydraulic pressure to control the auxiliary wheel 212 to move up, so that the auxiliary wheel 212 and the part (curved surface part) are against each other to adaptively support the part (curved surface part), and then the welding head 26 is started to make the welding head 26 perform friction welding on the part (curved surface part); When the part is larger than the capacity of the mold 22 or the part is a curved part, the part (curved part) is placed above the mold 22, and the part (curved part) is clamped between the upper and lower relative positioning wheels 34, and the positioning wheels 34 move up and down on the positioning frame 31 to self-adaptively clamp and fix the part (curved part), and the hydraulic distributor 213 uses hydraulic pressure to control the auxiliary wheel 212 to move up, so that the auxiliary wheel 212 and the part (curved part) are abutted to adaptively support the part (curved part), and then the welding head 26 is used to perform friction welding on the part (curved part), so that the equipment can self-adapt to the shape of the part for clamping and fixing, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0023] Example 2 like Figure 2-Figure 5 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the welding mechanism 2 also includes a support table 21, the support table 21 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1, the support table 21 is a double-layer structure, a mold 22 is fixedly installed on the top of the support table 21, and the mold 22 is located on the upper layer of the support table 21.

[0024] Furthermore, a pillar 23 is fixedly installed on the workbench 1, and the pillar 23 is adjacent to the support platform 21. A suspension 24 is slidably fitted on the pillar 23. A welding motor 25 is fixedly installed on the top of the suspension 24. The welding motor 25 runs through the suspension 24. A welding head 26 is rotatably fitted on the bottom end of the suspension 24. The welding head 26 is power-connected to the welding motor 25. The welding head 26 is opposite to the inside of the mold 22, and the welding head 26 is located directly above the friction welding position of the parts.

[0025] Furthermore, a hydraulic movable structure is provided on the suspension 24, and the hydraulic movable structure controls the movement of the suspension 24 on the support 23. The hydraulic movable structure is a common prior art and will not be described in detail here. The hydraulic movable structure of the suspension 24 is connected to the hydraulic system outside the device.

[0026] Among them, after the parts are placed on the mold 22, the suspension 24 is started, the suspension 24 moves on the support 23, the suspension 24 drives the welding motor 25 to move, the welding motor 25 is started, and the welding motor 25 drives the welding head 26 to rotate, so that the welding head 26 is close to the parts on the mold 22, so that the welding head 26 performs friction welding on the parts on the mold 22.

[0027] Furthermore, a plurality of fixed plates 27 are rotatably mounted on the inner side wall of the mold 22. The fixed plates 27 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the mold 22. The fixed plates 27 are located inside the side walls of the mold 22. The setting position of the fixed plates 27 is connected to the placement position of the parts in the mold 22. A swivel arm cylinder 28 is fixedly installed on the support platform 21. The swivel arm cylinder 28 is located on the lower layer of the support platform 21. Belts 29 are tensioned on the axes of the swivel arm cylinder 28 and the axes of the fixed plates 27. The belts 29 pass through the support platform 21.

[0028] When the parts are placed in the mold 22, the arm cylinder 28 is started, the arm cylinder 28 drives the belt 29 to rotate, and the belt 29 drives the fixed plate 27 to rotate, so that the fixed plate 27 is rotated into the mold 22, so that the fixed plate 27 can press against the parts in the mold 22 from above to clamp and fix the parts in the mold 22.

[0029] Furthermore, a plurality of hydraulic cylinders 210 are fixedly mounted on the top of the support platform 21. The hydraulic cylinders 210 are symmetrically distributed beside the mold 22. The hydraulic cylinders 210 are all located on the upper layer of the support platform 21. Hydraulic telescopic rods 211 are fixedly mounted on the hydraulic cylinders 210. The hydraulic telescopic rods 211 are all communicated with the hydraulic cylinders 210. Auxiliary wheels 212 are rotatably mounted on the extension rods of the hydraulic telescopic rods 211. The rotation planes of the auxiliary wheels 212 are all facing the mold 22. A hydraulic distributor 213 is fixedly mounted on the support platform 21. The hydraulic distributor 213 is the same as the hydraulic cylinder 210. The hydraulic distributor 213 is used to control the flow of hydraulic oil into the hydraulic cylinder 210. A hydraulic oil interface 214 is provided on the hydraulic distributor 213. The hydraulic oil interface 214 is used to communicate with a hydraulic system outside the device.

[0030] Among them, after a part that is larger than the mold 22 or a part that is a curved surface part is placed on the mold 22, the hydraulic distributor 213 is started, and the hydraulic distributor 213 controls the hydraulic oil to enter the hydraulic cylinder 210. The hydraulic oil pushes the hydraulic telescopic rod 211 in the hydraulic cylinder 210 to extend the extension rod of the hydraulic telescopic rod 211. The hydraulic telescopic rod 211 drives the auxiliary wheel 212 to move, so that the auxiliary wheel 212 is close to the part (curved surface part). When the auxiliary wheel 212 is close to the part (curved surface part), the hydraulic distributor 213 controls the hydraulic oil to no longer enter the hydraulic cylinder 210 where the auxiliary wheel 212 has been close to the part (curved surface part), so that the auxiliary wheel 212 can support the part (curved surface part) in a self-adaptive manner.

[0031] Example 3 like Figure 6-Figure 8 As shown, the difference from the above embodiment is that the auxiliary mechanism 3 also includes a plurality of slide rails 32, a plurality of slide rails 32 are provided on the positioning frame 31, the slide rails 32 are evenly distributed on the positioning frame 31, and a plurality of moving parts 33 are slidably matched on the slide rails 32. The moving parts 33 are distributed up and down in each slide rail 32, and the moving parts 33 are rotatably matched with positioning wheels 34, and the positioning wheels 34 are adjacent to the mold 22, and the upper and lower relative positioning wheels 34 are in contact with each other.

[0032] Furthermore, a spring 35 is provided between the upper and lower relative moving parts 33, one end of the spring 35 is connected to the upper moving part 33, and the other end of the spring 35 is connected to the lower moving part 33, and a servo motor 36 is fixedly installed on the moving part 33, and the servo motor 36 is located on the side of the moving part 33 away from the mold 22, and the servo motor 36 is power-connected to the positioning wheel 34 located on the same moving part 33.

[0033] Among them, when the part (curved surface part) is placed on the mold 22, the part (curved surface part) is first manually clamped between the upper and lower relative positioning wheels 34, and the positioning wheel 34 is pushed to move by the extrusion of the part (curved surface part), and the positioning wheel 34 drives the moving part 33 to move on the positioning frame 31, so that the upper and lower relative moving parts 33 are separated from each other, thereby stretching the spring 35, and the restoring force of the spring 35 drives the upper and lower relative positioning wheels 34 to move relatively, so that the positioning wheel 34 is always against the part (curved surface part) to clamp and fix the part (curved surface part) in a self-adaptive manner. When friction welding the part (curved surface part), the servo motor 36 is started, and the servo motor 36 drives the positioning wheel 34 to rotate, so that the positioning wheel 34 drives the part (curved surface part) to move, so that the part (curved surface part) moves the position where friction welding is required to be performed to the bottom of the welding head 26.

[0034] Furthermore, a plurality of friction rods 37 are fixedly mounted on the positioning frame 31, and the friction rods 37 are all adjacent to the slide rails 32. The friction rods 37 are slidably fitted with anti-slip rings 38, and the anti-slip rings 38 are fixedly connected to the moving parts 33. A plurality of detectors 39 are fixedly mounted on the support platform 21, and the detectors 39 are all adjacent to the servo motors 36. A detection part 310 is fixedly mounted on the servo motors 36, and the detection surfaces of the detection parts 310 and the detectors 39 are in contact with each other, so that the detectors 39 can detect the height of the detection parts 310.

[0035] Furthermore, the detector 39 is connected to the hydraulic distributor 213 by signal, and the position height of the detection member 310 detected by the detector 39 is fed back to the hydraulic distributor 213 in real time, so that the hydraulic distributor 213 can clearly distribute the amount of hydraulic oil into each hydraulic cylinder 210 to ensure that when the hydraulic distributor 213 drives the auxiliary wheel 212 to move, the hydraulic distributor 213 will not excessively input excessive hydraulic oil into a certain hydraulic cylinder 210 and cause the auxiliary wheel 212 to be over-lifted, thereby ensuring the stability of the equipment operation.

[0036] Among them, when the moving part 33 moves, the anti-slip ring 38 of the moving part 33 moves, and friction is generated between the anti-slip ring 38 and the friction rod 37. When the anti-slip ring 38 is not squeezed by the parts (curved parts) (that is, not subjected to external force), the self-weight of the parts on the moving part 33 such as the moving part 33 and the positioning wheel 34 is less than the friction between the anti-slip ring 38 and the friction rod 37. At the same time, as the moving part 33 moves, the moving part 33 drives the servo motor 36 to move, and the servo motor 36 drives the detection part 310 to move, so that the detector 39 detects the movement of the detection part 310, and the detector 39 transmits the height signal of the detection part 310 after moving to the hydraulic distributor 213, so that the hydraulic distributor 213 distributes the hydraulic oil in each hydraulic cylinder 210.

[0037] The overall working principle of the clamp device: First, place the part in the mold 22 (when the part is smaller than the capacity of the mold 22 and the part is not a curved part), start the fixing plate 27, the fixing plate 27 rotates to fix the part in the mold 22, and then start the welding head 26, the welding head 26 rotates and moves downward, so that the welding head 26 moves toward the part in the mold 22, so that the welding head 26 friction welds the part in the mold 22, and then the welding head 26 and the fixing plate 27 are reset, and the friction welded part is taken out of the mold 22. When welding a part (curved surface part), the part (curved surface part) is placed above the mold 22, and the part (curved surface part) is clamped between the upper and lower positioning wheels 34, and the positioning wheels 34 move up and down on the positioning frame 31 to clamp and fix the part (curved surface part) in a self-adaptive manner, and the hydraulic distributor 213 is started, and the hydraulic distributor 213 uses hydraulic pressure to control the auxiliary wheel 212 to move up, so that the auxiliary wheel 212 and the part (curved surface part) are against each other to adaptively support the part (curved surface part), and then the welding head 26 is started to make the welding head 26 perform friction welding on the part (curved surface part); After the part is placed on the mold 22, the suspension 24 is started, the suspension 24 moves on the support 23, the suspension 24 drives the welding motor 25 to move, the welding motor 25 is started, and the welding motor 25 drives the welding head 26 to rotate, so that the welding head 26 is close to the part on the mold 22, so that the welding head 26 performs friction welding on the part on the mold 22; When the part is placed in the mold 22, the rotating arm cylinder 28 is started, the rotating arm cylinder 28 drives the belt 29 to rotate, and the belt 29 drives the fixed plate 27 to rotate, so that the fixed plate 27 is rotated into the mold 22, so that the fixed plate 27 presses against the part in the mold 22 from above, so as to clamp and fix the part in the mold 22; After a part that is larger than the mold 22 or a curved surface part is placed on the mold 22, the hydraulic distributor 213 is started, and the hydraulic distributor 213 controls the hydraulic oil to enter the hydraulic cylinder 210. The hydraulic oil pushes the hydraulic telescopic rod 211 in the hydraulic cylinder 210, so that the extension rod of the hydraulic telescopic rod 211 is extended, and the hydraulic telescopic rod 211 drives the auxiliary wheel 212 to move, so that the auxiliary wheel 212 is close to the part (curved surface part). When the auxiliary wheel 212 is close to the part (curved surface part), the hydraulic distributor 213 controls the hydraulic oil to stop entering the hydraulic cylinder 210 where the auxiliary wheel 212 has been close to the part (curved surface part), so that the auxiliary wheel 212 supports the part (curved surface part) in a self-adaptive manner; When the part (curved surface part) is placed on the mold 22, the part (curved surface part) is first manually clamped between the upper and lower relative positioning wheels 34, and the positioning wheel 34 is pushed to move by the extrusion of the part (curved surface part), and the positioning wheel 34 drives the moving part 33 to move on the positioning frame 31, so that the upper and lower relative moving parts 33 are separated from each other, so that the spring 35 is stretched, and the restoring force of the spring 35 drives the upper and lower relative positioning wheels 34 to move relatively, so that the positioning wheel 34 always presses against the part (curved surface part) to clamp and fix the part (curved surface part) in a self-adaptive manner. When friction welding the part (curved surface part), the servo motor 36 is started, and the servo motor 36 drives the positioning wheel 34 to rotate, so that the positioning wheel 34 drives the part (curved surface part) to move, so that the part (curved surface part) moves the position where friction welding is required to be performed to the position directly below the welding head 26; When the moving part 33 moves, the anti-slip ring 38 of the moving part 33 moves, and friction is generated between the anti-slip ring 38 and the friction rod 37. When the anti-slip ring 38 is not squeezed by a part (curved part) (i.e., not subjected to external force), the self-weight of the moving part 33, the positioning wheel 34 and other parts on the moving part 33 is smaller than the friction force between the anti-slip ring 38 and the friction rod 37. At the same time, as the moving part 33 moves, the moving part 33 drives the servo motor 36 to move, and the servo motor 36 drives the detection part 310 to move, so that the detector 39 detects the movement of the detection part 310. The detector 39 transmits the height signal of the detection part 310 after movement to the hydraulic distributor 213, so that the hydraulic distributor 213 distributes the hydraulic oil in each hydraulic cylinder 210.
