[0009] When the driving shaft rotates, the plug sleeve and the extrusion sleeve rotate simultaneously. In the rotating process, high-speed friction between the plug sleeve and the to-be-connected plate generates heat and softens the to-be-connected plate, forming solid-phase welding. At the same time, the plug sleeve is rotated into the to-be-connected plate under the downward force of the extrusion sleeve.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0040] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present disclosure will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present disclosure. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the present disclosure.

[0041] Embodiment one:

[0042] Please refer toFigures 1-3 The present invention provides a technical solution: a copper-magnesium-aluminum spot welding device, applied in the field of welding dissimilar materials of copper, magnesium and aluminum, including a hydraulic rotary seat 3, a drive assembly 1 installed on the top of the hydraulic rotary seat 3, a drive shaft 7 installed on the output end of the drive assembly 1, a top pressure sleeve assembly 4 fixedly installed on the bottom of the hydraulic rotary seat 3, and the drive shaft 7 rotatably connected to the hydraulic rotary seat 3 and the top pressure sleeve assembly 4.

[0043] A lifting cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the hydraulic rotary seat 3. There is a gap between the lifting cylinder 6 and the top pressure sleeve assembly 4. The plate 5 to be connected is placed between the lifting cylinder 6 and the top pressure sleeve assembly 4.

[0044] A compression sleeve 8 is fitted on the outer surface of the bottom end of the drive shaft 7. A plug sleeve 9 is coaxially provided at the bottom end of the compression sleeve 8. The plug sleeve 9 has an external thread 92 on the outer side and an internal thread 93 on the inner side. The external thread 92 and the internal thread 93 have opposite directions of rotation and different pitches. The plug sleeve 9 and the compression sleeve 8 can rotate relative to each other.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown, when the drive shaft 7 rotates, it will drive the plug sleeve 9 and the extrusion sleeve 8 to rotate simultaneously. During the rotation, the plug sleeve 9 and the plate to be connected 5 generate high-speed friction and heat, softening the plate to be connected 5 and forming solid-phase welding. At the same time, the plug sleeve 9 will be screwed into the plate to be connected 5 under the downward force of the extrusion sleeve 8, and will stop instantly when it is fully screwed into the plate to be connected 5, realizing the mechanical interlock between the plug sleeve 9 and the plate to be connected 5.

[0046] It should be noted that the pitch of the external thread 92 of the plug sleeve 9 is greater than that of the internal thread 93. This is because the external thread 92 has a larger contact area with the plate 5 to be connected, requiring more material flow to be accommodated during screwing. When the plug sleeve 9 rotates at high speed, the high-speed friction generates heat, softening the plate 5 to be connected. Therefore, the softened material of the plate 5 will flow between the threads during high-speed rotation of the plug sleeve 9. The larger pitch of the external thread 92 allows for more material flow. The internal thread 93, however, rotates in the opposite direction to the external thread 92. Its main function is to allow for more material flow during high-speed rotation. The thread 93 will generate greater friction with the plate 5, which will facilitate the generation of more heat to soften the plate 5 to be connected. After the plate 5 is softened, the plug sleeve 9 can better bond with the metal of the plate 5 to form a solid phase weld. Furthermore, due to the softening of the plate 5 and the downward force of the compression sleeve 8 when the plug sleeve 9 rotates, the plug sleeve 9 will not interfere with the internal and external threads 92. The plug sleeve 9 will be squeezed into the softened plate 5 to be connected. In this way, after the plate 5 is cooled, a solid phase weld and mechanical interlock will be formed simultaneously.

[0047] Further, the plug sleeve 9 is provided in a hollow cylindrical shape, and the thermal stability of the plug sleeve 9 is greater than that of the to-be-connected plate 5, so that the thermal stability of the plug sleeve 9 is stronger than that of the to-be-connected plate 5, and the screws of the internal thread 93 and the external thread 92 of the plug sleeve 9 will not be damaged during high-speed friction, and the plug sleeve 9 will not affect the process of being screwed in. According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, the plug sleeve 9 is made of H13 die steel, SKD61 die steel or DC53 die steel.

[0048] As shown in Figure 1 , according to the technical scheme of the embodiment, the copper-magnesium-aluminum spot welding device further comprises a hydraulic pump 2, which is connected with the hydraulic swing base 3 and the lifting oil cylinder 6 through oil supply pipelines and oil return pipelines respectively, and is used to drive the hydraulic swing base 3 and the lifting oil cylinder 6 to extend and retract at the same time. When extending, the hydraulic pump 2 will deliver high-pressure oil into the hydraulic swing base 3 and the lifting oil cylinder 6 through the oil supply pipelines, and push the piston 43 to move, so as to realize extension. When the piston 43 moves, the oil on the other side needs to return to the oil tank through the oil return pipelines, so as to keep the circulation and balance of the hydraulic system.

[0049] According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 , the movement directions of the hydraulic swing base 3 and the lifting oil cylinder 6 are always opposite, which is used to fix the position of the to-be-connected plate 5. When welding the to-be-connected plate 5 is needed, the lifting oil cylinder 6 extends upward, and at the same time, the hydraulic swing base 3 drives the pressing sleeve assembly 4 to move downward, so as to completely press and fix the to-be-connected plate 5. At this time, the driving shaft 7 and the lower end surface of the plug sleeve 9 are completely attached to the upper surface of the to-be-connected plate 5. It needs to be noted that the copper-magnesium-aluminum dissimilar alloys can be welded in any matching form, and there is no need to consider the placement order of the plate 5, which increases the flexibility and applicability of welding.

[0050] According to the technical scheme of the embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 , the to-be-connected plate 5 comprises an upper plate 51 and a lower plate 52, and the materials of the upper plate 51 and the lower plate 52 are different. The material of the upper plate 51 or the lower plate 52 can be any one of copper, magnesium or aluminum. However, since the materials of the upper plate 51 and the lower plate 52 are different, when the upper plate 51 is copper, the material of the lower plate 52 is set as magnesium or aluminum, and so on. It needs to be noted that in the embodiment, copper, magnesium or aluminum materials are taken as examples for illustration, but the specific types of the plate 5 materials are not limited. If other technical schemes in the art change only the types of the plate 5 materials compared with the embodiment, they will also fall within the protection scope of the embodiment.

The inner cavity 42 is slidably connected with a piston 43 along the axial direction, the drive shaft 7 is rotatably connected inside the hydraulic rotary seat 3 through a rotary bearing 44, and the extrusion sleeve 8 is rotatably connected inside the top pressing sleeve shell 41 through the rotary bearing 44. When the piston 43 moves up and down, the extrusion sleeve 8 will move accordingly.

[0052] The bottom end of the top pressing sleeve shell 41 is fixedly installed with a guide cylinder 45, and the extrusion sleeve 8 and the plug sleeve 9 are rotatably connected inside the guide cylinder 45 and coaxially arranged with the guide cylinder 45. By using the guide cylinder 45, the extrusion sleeve 8 and the plug sleeve 9 can be guided when they move downward.

[0053] It should be noted that the number of rotary bearings 44 is at least two, and the two rotary bearings 44 are fixed on the side wall of the inner cavity 42 by bolts. The two rotary bearings 44 can support the drive shaft 7 and the extrusion sleeve 8 to rotate, respectively, and will not interfere with the rotational movement of the extrusion sleeve 8 when the piston 43 drives the extrusion sleeve 8 to move downward.

[0054] Specifically, when the hydraulic rotary seat 3 needs to drive the top pressing sleeve assembly 4 to move downward, the hydraulic pump 2 is started to provide hydraulic oil above the inner cavity 42, so that the piston 43 moves downward, and when the piston 43 moves downward, the extrusion sleeve 8 will move accordingly, i.e. the plug sleeve 9 can be extruded to provide a downward driving force for the plug sleeve 9 to be screwed into the to-be-connected plate 5.

[0055] It should be further noted that, as shown in Figure 3 The top pressing sleeve shell 41 and the lifting oil cylinder 6 are connected and fixed by a connecting plate, which is convenient for maintaining the integrity of the device and supporting the lifting oil cylinder 6.

[0057] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the extrusion sleeve 8 includes a thick connecting part 82 and a thin connecting part 83, the thick connecting part 82 and the thin connecting part 83 are integrally formed, and a through circular hole is formed in the center of the thick connecting part 82 and the thin connecting part 83, the first key groove 81 is formed on the inner wall of the circular hole at the position of the thin connecting part 83, the thick connecting part 82 and the thin connecting part 83 are integrally formed and a through circular hole is formed in the center, such structure makes the stress of the whole extrusion sleeve 8 more uniform, the thick connecting part 82 can bear larger radial force and axial force, while the thin connecting part 83 can realize precise cooperation with the drive shaft 7 while ensuring strength, during the welding process, when the extrusion sleeve 8 extrudes the plug sleeve 9 downward, the thick connecting part 82 can bear larger reaction force, avoiding deformation or damage of the extrusion sleeve 8 due to local stress concentration, thereby improving the overall strength and stability of the extrusion sleeve 8.
