TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of battery box frame welding, in particular to a positioning and clamping table for battery box frame welding machining. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the field of battery box frame welding machining, the performance of the positioning and clamping equipment directly affects the welding precision, efficiency and product quality. At present, the existing positioning and clamping table has many technical limitations and cannot meet the high-precision and intelligent machining requirements. The main problems are as follows: Firstly, the vibration adjustment capability of the traditional positioning and clamping table is insufficient. During the welding process, the slag cleaning and welding strength detection processes have different requirements for the vibration parameters of the battery box frame. However, the existing equipment mostly uses fixed vibration parameters or structures that cannot be flexibly adjusted, which cannot dynamically adapt to the machining stage, resulting in poor adaptability of the single equipment and difficulty in meeting the needs of different processes, affecting the machining efficiency and quality stability. Secondly, the transmission precision and synchronicity of the clamping system are poor. The driving mode of the existing clamping device is mostly direct connection or belt transmission, which has low transmission efficiency and insufficient position adjustment precision, and it is difficult to achieve multi-surface synchronous clamping. For the polyhedral structure of the battery box frame, welding misalignment may occur due to asynchronous clamping or positioning deviation, affecting the structural stability of the frame. Thirdly, the clamping force control lacks precise feedback mechanism. The traditional clamping device mostly relies on experience to set the clamping force and lacks real-time monitoring and dynamic adjustment capability. Fourthly, the slag cleaning method is low in intelligent degree. In the existing technology, slag cleaning mostly relies on manual or fixed parameter mechanical cleaning and airflow cleaning, which cannot adjust the cleaning intensity according to the actual state of the slag. Fifthly, the welding strength detection means has limitations. The traditional detection is mostly static pressure testing, which cannot simulate the dynamic vibration working conditions that the battery box frame may encounter in actual use, making it difficult to fully evaluate the reliability of the welded parts in complex stress scenarios and easily missing potential welding defects, which poses a risk to the safety of product use.

[0023] The elastic abutting piece 32 comprises a T-shaped limiting rod installed on the transmission frame 31, the T-shaped limiting rod is in sliding connection with the oscillation frame 3, an abutting spring is sleeved on the T-shaped limiting rod and corresponds to the position between the transmission frame 31 and the oscillation frame 3, and the axis of the T-shaped limiting rod is parallel to the horizontal plane; The oscillation frame 3 works in an up-down reciprocating mode; Through the setting of the elastic abutting piece 32, the conical transmission body 30 and the transmission frame 31 are kept close and maintain a set degree of friction; The transmission motor 28 and the linear driving module 26 of the oscillation generation system are electrically connected with the PLC controller 23, so as to realize programmable control of vibration parameters; After welding, the visual thermal imager 19 detects the temperature of the welding slag, the surface image of the welding slag and the yield of the welding seam in real time through infrared thermal imaging means and visual detection means; The data monitored by the visual thermal imager 19 is fed back to the PLC controller 23 in real time, and the PLC controller 23 feeds back according to the visual thermal imager 19, so as to maintain the first preset oscillation frequency and oscillation stroke of the oscillation frame 3 during the cleaning of the welding slag; The model of the visual thermal imager 19 can be selected as FLIRA400; The transmission motor 28 drives the six-prong shaft 27 to rotate, the six-prong shaft 27 drives the conical transmission body 30 to rotate synchronously through the six-prong through slot, the inclined tooth trace of the conical transmission body 30 is in contact with the inclined tooth trace of the transmission frame 31, the transmission frame 31 is driven to move up and down, and then the oscillation frame 3 is vibrated, the return spring 33 provides a restoring force after the oscillation frame 3 moves downward, and assists the upward movement of the oscillation frame 3, the linear drive module 26 adjusts the position of the vibration adjusting seat 29, changes the contact position of the conical transmission body 30 and the transmission frame 31, and thus adjusts the vibration stroke of the oscillation frame 3, and the frequency is adjustable by cooperating with the speed regulation of the transmission motor 28; The conventional positioning and clamping table cannot adjust the vibration parameters according to the processing requirements including slag cleaning and welding strength detection, so that the single device has poor adaptability and is difficult to meet the requirements of diversified processing procedures; The device realizes flexible adjustment of the vibration stroke and frequency of the oscillation frame 3, can accurately match the vibration parameters according to the different processing stage requirements of positioning before welding, slag cleaning and strength detection, improves the universality and processing pertinence of the device, and provides technical support for efficient and high-quality processing; The oscillation frame 3 is provided with a servo motor 4, a three-axis acceleration sensor 5 and four clamping systems arranged in a circular array; The data ends of the visual thermal imager 19 and the three-axis acceleration sensor 5 are both in data connection with the PLC controller 23; The clamping system comprises a driving clamp seat 6, an elastic clamp frame 7 and a transmission screw rod 8 rotatably connected to the oscillation frame 3, the driving clamp seat 6 and the elastic clamp frame 7 are both in sliding connection with the oscillation frame 3, the transmission screw rod 8 is in transmission connection with the driving clamp seat 6, a first profiling spring 9 is installed between the driving clamp seat 6 and the elastic clamp frame 7, and the transmission screw rod 8 is driven by the servo motor 4; A driving bevel gear is installed at the output shaft end of the servo motor 4, and a driven bevel gear in transmission connection with the driving bevel gear is installed on the transmission screw rod 8; After the servo motor 4 is started, the output shaft drives the driving bevel gear to rotate, the driving bevel gear meshes with the driven bevel gear to drive, power is transmitted to the transmission screw rod 8, the transmission screw rod 8 rotates, the transmission screw rod 8 drives the driving clamp seat 6 to slide along the oscillation frame 3, and the driving clamp seat 6 drives the elastic clamp frame 7 to move synchronously through the first profiling spring 9; The driving mode of the conventional clamping system is mostly direct connection or belt transmission, and there are problems of low transmission efficiency and insufficient position adjustment accuracy, so it is difficult to accurately control the clamping position and affect the welding accuracy of the battery box frame; The device adopts bevel gear transmission, utilizes the characteristics of stable bevel gear transmission and accurate transmission ratio, improves the power transmission efficiency and position adjustment accuracy, and through the accurate control of the servo motor 4, the fine adjustment and accurate positioning of the clamping system position can be realized, so that the battery box frame is ensured to be in the preset position during the welding process, and the stability of the welding quality is improved; And the device through the driving structure of single servo motor 4, realizes the synchronous four side profiled clamping of the battery box frame to be welded; The power of servo motor 4 is distributed through the main drive bevel gear, and then is transmitted to four driven bevel gears to synchronously drive four transmission lead screws 8 to rotate. This transmission design ensures that the power of single servo motor 4 can be evenly and synchronously transmitted to four clamping systems, so that the four side clamping actions are completely synchronized in time, avoiding the clamping deviation caused by power transmission delay; When the four transmission lead screws 8 rotate synchronously, they respectively drive the corresponding driving clamping seat 6 to translate along the sliding track of the oscillating frame 3. Since the structural parameters of the four clamping systems are completely consistent and are precisely controlled by the same servo motor 4, the moving distance and speed of the driving clamping seat 6 are completely the same, thereby realizing the synchronous adjustment of the four side clamping positions. The first profiled spring 9 between the driving clamping seat 6 and the elastic clamping frame 7 has elastic deformation ability. When the four elastic clamping frames 7 approach the battery box frame, if there is a slight size error or irregular shape of the battery box frame, the first profiled spring 9 will automatically expand and contract according to the contact pressure, so that the elastic clamping frame 7 adapts to the actual shape of the frame, avoiding the deformation of the battery box frame or unstable clamping caused by rigid clamping. The two clamping plates 10 on the elastic clamping frame 7 adjust the spacing through the clamping piece 21 to adapt to the width of the battery box frame. The T-shaped clamping rod 11 and the end silicone clamp head 12 on the clamping plate 10 further refine the profiled effect. The silicone clamp head 12 is made of silicone rubber material and has a certain flexibility, which can adhere to the surface texture of the battery box frame. The second profiled spring 13 allows the T-shaped clamping rod 11 to expand and contract slightly, ensuring that multiple silicone clamp heads 12 can simultaneously contact the surface of the battery box frame, dispersing the clamping force and further improving the profiled clamping effect of the device on different specifications of battery box frames. The elastic clamping frame 7 is provided with a clamping piece 21, and the clamping piece 21 is drivingly connected with two symmetrical clamping plates 10 with adjustable spacing. A group of T-shaped clamping rods 11 are slidingly installed on each clamping plate 10. A silicone clamp head 12 is installed at the end of the T-shaped clamping rod 11. A second profiled spring 13 is sleeved on the T-shaped clamping rod 11 and corresponds to the position between the silicone clamp head 12 and the clamping plate 10. The clamping piece 21 includes a bidirectional screw rod rotatingly connected to the elastic clamping frame 7 and a driving motor fixedly installed on the side surface of the elastic clamping frame 7. The output shaft end of the driving motor is fixedly connected with the bidirectional screw rod. The bidirectional screw rod is provided with a positive screw thread area and a reverse screw thread area symmetrically. The positive screw thread area and the reverse screw thread area are respectively drivingly connected with the two clamping plates 10 on the elastic clamping frame 7. The two clamping plates 10 are slidingly connected with the elastic clamping frame 7. The driving motor drives the bidirectional screw rod to rotate, the positive thread area and the reverse thread area of the bidirectional screw rod are respectively in transmission connection with the two clamping plates 10, and the clamping plates 10 are in sliding connection with the elastic clamping frame 7, so that the two clamping plates 10 will make opposite or opposite linear motion along the elastic clamping frame 7 under the driving of the screw rod, thereby quickly adjusting the distance; The silica gel chuck 12 is made of silicone rubber, and the first pressure sensor is integrated and installed in the silica gel chuck 12. The first pressure sensor is a thin film type pressure sensor. When the silica gel chuck 12 contacts the battery box frame, the battery box frame generates a reaction force on the silica gel chuck 12, so that the T-shaped clamping rod 11 slides towards the clamping plate 10, the second profiling spring 13 is compressed, the first pressure sensor detects the clamping force in real time, and sends data to the PLC controller 23 through the wireless transmission module. The traditional clamping device lacks pressure feedback, and is easy to cause deformation and damage of the battery box frame due to excessive clamping force, or loose battery box frame during welding process due to insufficient clamping force, which affects the welding precision and safety. The device realizes real-time monitoring and feedback of the clamping force through the first pressure sensor, and accurately controls the clamping force in a reasonable range through the closed-loop control of the PLC controller 23. The welding frame 2 is provided with a work station rotating shell 15 driven by a rotating motor 14, and the work station rotating shell 15 is provided with a detection pressure rod 16, a welding gun 17, a cleaning rod 18, a visual thermal imager 19 and a gas cleaning nozzle 20.

[0024] The top of the base frame 1 is provided with an arc welding machine 24 connected with the welding gun 17 through a cable, and the work station rotating shell 15 is provided with a blower 36.

[0025] The detection pressure rod 16 is provided with a second pressure sensor at the connection with the work station rotating shell 15, and the signal data end of the second pressure sensor is connected with the PLC controller 23 through a cable.

[0026] The cleaning rod 18 is uniformly provided with steel wire bristles, and the length of the steel wire bristles is 0.45 times the diameter of the cleaning rod 18.

[0027] The visual thermal imager 19 collects the temperature, surface image and good rate data of the welding slag in real time, and transmits the data to the PLC controller 23. According to the state of the welding slag, the controller controls the oscillation generating system to make the oscillation frame 3 maintain the first preset oscillation frequency and stroke, and through vibration, the welding slag is separated from the battery box frame due to the inertial force, which assists the cleaning of the welding slag. Traditional welding slag cleaning relies on manual or fixed parameter mechanical cleaning, which cannot adjust the cleaning intensity according to the actual state of the welding slag, resulting in incomplete cleaning or excessive cleaning damage to the weld; The device realizes intelligent adaptation of the welding slag cleaning process. Through real-time detection by the visual thermal imager 19, the vibration parameters of the oscillation frame 3 are accurately matched with the state of the welding slag, which can efficiently remove the welding slag and avoid damage to the weld due to excessive vibration, thereby improving the efficiency and safety of welding slag cleaning; During the cleaning of the welding slag, the cleaning brush rod 18 moves along the set trajectory, and the steel wire brush physically cleans the welding surface. At the same time, the air blower 36 blows high-pressure air flow through the air cleaning nozzle 20 to blow off the loose welding slag. In this process, the oscillation frame 3 vibrates at a second preset vibration frequency and vibration stroke, so that the welding slag on the surface of the battery box frame is loosened due to vibration and is more easily removed by the cleaning brush rod 18 and the air flow. The PLC controller 23 coordinates the work rhythm of each component according to the feedback of the visual thermal imager 19; In the traditional device, single physical brushing or air flow blowing cannot remove the firmly attached welding slag, and the cleaning efficiency is low. Residual welding slag will affect subsequent processing or product performance; The device forms a multi-dimensional cleaning mechanism through the synergistic effect of physical brushing, air flow blowing and vibration assistance. The second preset vibration frequency and vibration stroke of the oscillation frame 3 enhance the loosening effect of the welding slag. Combined with the mechanical force of the cleaning brush rod 18 and the air flow impact force of the air cleaning nozzle 20, the welding slag cleaning rate and cleaning intensity are greatly improved, ensuring the cleanliness of the welding surface and providing a good foundation for subsequent processes including secondary welding and assembly.

[0028] After the welding slag is removed, the work station rotating shell 15 rotates to align the detection pressure rod 16 with the welding position. The detection pressure rod 16 acts on the welding position with a set pressure. At the same time, the oscillation frequency and vibration stroke of the oscillation frame 3 change cyclically according to the preset program to simulate the vibration stress under different working conditions. The second pressure sensor detects the change of the acting force of the detection pressure rod 16 on the welding position and transmits the data to the PLC controller 23. The welding strength is judged by analyzing the change of the force; Traditional welding strength detection is mostly static detection, which cannot simulate the dynamic stress in the actual use of the battery box frame, and it is difficult to comprehensively evaluate the reliability of the welding quality; The device simulates the vibration working conditions that the battery box frame may encounter in actual use by combining dynamic vibration with pressure detection, realizes dynamic and comprehensive detection of welding strength, the cyclically changed vibration parameters can cover multiple stress scenes, welding defects can be found more accurately, the reliability of product quality detection is improved, and the use safety of the battery box frame is ensured. The PLC controller 23 pre-stores a vibration parameter setting database for slag cleaning and strength detection, and automatically calls according to feedback of the visual thermal imager 19.
