This method has the following disadvantages: First, there is a lack of an automated position detection mechanism. When the parts are placed incorrectly, it is easy to cause welding deviation, affecting product quality. Second, the clamping force of traditional fixtures is fixed, making it difficult to adapt to parts of different shapes or sizes, and the versatility is poor. Third, the adjustment of the clamping mechanism is complex, requiring manual adjustment of the clamping points, with low operating efficiency, especially taking a long time in the welding of complex parts. These disadvantages make it difficult for the existing technology to meet the requirements of modern manufacturing for high-precision welding in terms of automation, precision, and efficiency.

All the monitoring units where the force-sensitive resistors are located corresponding to the printed contour shape position on the high-temperature tape are arranged in series with the permanent magnet plate support adjusting electric cylinder. The conduction of all the monitoring units is used as the starting condition for the telescopic rod of the permanent magnet plate support adjusting electric cylinder to extend.

Detailed implementation manners

[0015] The following is combined with the attached Figures 1-9 , and the technical solution of the present invention will be further described through specific implementation manners.

[0016] The present invention provides an anti-error detection welding fixture, which includes a welding table 117. A plurality of force-sensitive resistors 122 are arranged in a rectangular array on the upper surface of the welding table 117, and each force-sensitive resistor 122 is arranged in a corresponding monitoring unit drive; a permanent magnet plate 113 is arranged above the welding table 117. The permanent magnet plate 113 is controlled to move vertically by a permanent magnet plate support adjusting electric cylinder 111.

The bottom end of each clamping rod 115 is slidably inserted and provided with a clamping slide rod 119. A clamping head 121 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the clamping slide rod 119. The clamping head 121 and the clamping rod 115 are elastically matched through a rubber sleeve 120, and the rubber sleeve 120 is sleeved on the clamping slide rod 119. The permanent magnet plate 113 is fixedly installed on a permanent magnet plate support 112. The permanent magnet plate support 112 is slidably installed on a swing plate 110. The permanent magnet plate support adjusting electric cylinder 111 is fixedly installed on the swing plate 110. The permanent magnet plate support 112 is fixedly matched with the end of the telescopic rod of the permanent magnet plate support adjusting electric cylinder 111 for driving the permanent magnet plate support 112 to slide on the swing plate 110. The swing plate 110 is movably installed on a swing plate support 108. The swing plate support 108 is fixedly installed on an extended support plate 106. The extended support plate 106 and the welding table 117 are both fixedly installed on a support frame 102. An oscillating electric cylinder 107 is also movably installed on the extended support plate 106. A swing rod 109 is rotatably installed on the swing plate support 108. The swing rod 109 is fixedly matched with the swing plate 110 through a rotating shaft. One end of the swing rod 109 away from the swing plate support 108 is movably connected with the end of the telescopic rod of the oscillating electric cylinder 107. An electromagnet 116 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the welding table 117. A clamping iron block 114 is arranged above the welding table 117. The clamping iron block 114 is magnetically matched with the electromagnet 116. The clamping iron block 114 is lapped on the surface of the part to be welded. A high-temperature tape 118 is covered on all the force-sensitive resistors 122. The high-temperature tape 118 is fixedly connected with the edge of the welding table 117 for fixing the position of the high-temperature tape 118 on the force-sensitive resistors 122. And the contour shape of the part to be welded is printed on the upper surface of the high-temperature tape 118, which is convenient for placing the part to be welded on the high-temperature tape 118. The high-temperature tape 118 and the welding table 117 are fixedly matched in a manner convenient for replacement. The monitoring units where all the force-sensitive resistors 122 corresponding to the printed contour shape position on the high-temperature tape 118 are located are arranged in series with the permanent magnet plate support adjusting electric cylinder 111. The conduction of all the monitoring units is used as the starting condition for the telescopic rod of the permanent magnet plate support adjusting electric cylinder 111 to extend. The support frame 102 is rotatably installed at the center position of the upper surface of the base 101. An edge retaining ring 103 concentric with the base 101 is fixedly installed at the edge position of the upper surface of the base 101.A swing arm 104 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the support frame 102. The swing arm 104 is slidably matched with the upper surface of the base 101. A screw 105 is threadedly inserted and matched on the swing arm 104. The screw 105 is in contact and extrusion fit with the upper surface of the base 101. One end of the swing arm 104 far from the support frame 102 is slidably matched with the edge snap ring 103. The edge snap ring 103 is used to prevent the end of the swing arm 104 far from the support frame 102 from separating from the base 101. The monitoring unit includes a force-sensitive resistor 122 and a fixed-value resistor R1 connected in series in a 5V DC power supply. A NPN triode is connected in parallel at both ends of the fixed-value resistor R1. The base of the NPN triode is electrically connected to the high-potential point of the fixed-value resistor R1, and the emitter of the NPN triode is electrically connected to the low-potential point of the fixed-value resistor R1. The input end of the monitoring unit is electrically connected to the collector of the NPN triode, and the output end of the monitoring unit is electrically connected to the emitter of the NPN triode.

[0017] The working principle of the error-proof detection welding fixture disclosed in the present invention is as follows: According to the shape of the parts to be welded, the corresponding shape is printed on the high-temperature tape 118 (or manually marked with a line), and then the high-temperature tape 118 is installed on the welding table 117. At the same time, the monitoring end elements where all the force-sensitive resistors 122 corresponding to the printed shape on the high-temperature tape 118 are arranged in series with the permanent magnet plate support adjusting cylinder 111 (where the higher the array density of the force-sensitive resistors 122, the higher the monitoring accuracy). Only when the welded parts are placed correctly on the high-temperature tape 118, the parts will squeeze all the corresponding force-sensitive resistors 122 below (the parts press the force-sensitive resistors 122 under gravity). At this time, the resistance value of the force-sensitive resistor 122 in the corresponding monitoring unit decreases after being squeezed, which will cause the potential difference across the fixed resistor R1 to increase, and make the potential difference greater than 0.7V. At this time, the collector and emitter of the corresponding NPN transistor are turned on, so the input and output ends of the monitoring unit are turned on. Only when all the force-sensitive resistors 122 in the monitoring units (all the force-sensitive resistors 122 corresponding to the printed part of the high-temperature tape 118) are squeezed, the permanent magnet plate support adjusting cylinder 111 will be powered on, otherwise the permanent magnet plate support adjusting cylinder 111 cannot work properly. Therefore, the clamping operation can only be carried out when there are parts placed at the printed position on the high-temperature tape 118. When clamping, first start the swing cylinder 107, control the telescopic rod of the swing cylinder 107 to extend. The telescopic rod of the swing cylinder 107 drives the swing rod 109 and the swing plate 110 to swing synchronously on the swing plate support 108, driving the permanent magnet plate support 112 and the permanent magnet plate 113 on the swing plate 110 to swing, and making the permanent magnet plate 113 swing towards the part direction so that the permanent magnet plate 113 is in a horizontal state (when resetting, control the telescopic rod of the swing cylinder 107 to contract). According to the shape of the placed parts, change the position of the clamping rod 115 on the permanent magnet plate 113 so that the clamping head 121 on the clamping rod 115 is aligned with the part (square steel part, such as the table support leg). Control the telescopic rod of the permanent magnet plate support adjusting cylinder 111 to extend. The telescopic rod of the permanent magnet plate support adjusting cylinder 111 drives the permanent magnet plate 113 on the permanent magnet plate support 112 to move downward, and all the clamping rods 115 on the permanent magnet plate 113 will move downward, making the clamping head 121 contact and clamp the part (the rubber sleeve 120 provides the clamping force, and the rubber sleeve 120 deforms, and the clamping rod 115 slides relative to the clamping slide rod 119). At this time, the user uses a welding torch to spot-weld at the welding position of the part to fix the position between the parts. After all the spot-welding positions are completed, control the telescopic rod of the permanent magnet plate support adjusting cylinder 111 to contract to make the clamping rod 115 away from the part, and control the swing cylinder 107 to reset the permanent magnet plate 113. Then place the clamping iron block 114 on the upper surface of the part.In addition, the electromagnet 116 can be connected in series in all monitoring units (all monitoring units corresponding to the printed part of the high-temperature tape 118), and its function is the same as that of the permanent magnet plate support adjusting cylinder 111 (also clamping the parts to be welded). After the parts are placed in position, place the clamping iron block 114 on the upper surface of the parts (if the parts are made of magnetic materials, the clamping iron block 114 can be omitted). Start the electromagnet 116 (the electromagnet 116 cannot be started if the parts are not placed correctly). The electromagnet 116 generates magnetic force to attract the clamping iron block 114 to clamp the parts (if the parts are made of iron, the parts can be directly attracted to fix the position of the parts). The position of the support frame 102 on the base 101 can be adjusted. Adjust the position of the support frame 102 according to the welding situation (rotate the support frame 102 to make the position of the parts follow the rotation). After adjustment, only need to rotate the screw 105 to fix the swing arm 104 on the base 101, so as to prevent the support frame 102 from rotating on the base 101 continuously.
