Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of welding technology, specifically a welding fixture for an automotive seat frame. Background Technology

[0002] Car seats are essential components of automobiles. Car seats can be classified by shape as split seats and bench seats; by function as fixed, removable, and adjustable seats; and by the number of occupants as single, double, and multi-person seats. There are also seats for special purposes, such as child seats and racing seats. Therefore, car seat frame assemblies also have different size requirements. During the production of car seat frames, the various components need to be welded together. Car seat frame welding is a key step in connecting metal parts into the seat frame structure using welding technology. Welding fixtures are needed to fix the components during the welding process.

[0003] Patent CN 112091510 A discloses a welding fixture for an automotive seat back frame, belonging to the field of automotive seat back frame processing. It includes a base, with welding devices symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the base. A vertical plate is fixed at the middle of the upper surface of the base. A lead screw is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the base, with a lead screw threaded onto the lead screw. A rectangular hole is opened along the vertical direction on the vertical plate, and a connecting rod is movably arranged within the rectangular hole. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the lead screw, and a movable block is welded to the other end of the connecting rod. A movable plate is welded to the side of the movable block away from the connecting rod, and support blocks are symmetrically fixed on the movable plate. A positioning block is slidably connected to one side wall of the vertical plate. The positioning block has a U-shaped structure, and a clamping block is fixed to the inner surface of the bottom wall of the positioning block. This invention has a novel design and ingenious structure, reducing the labor intensity of workers and ensuring welding accuracy during the welding process.

[0004] This application improves the welding fixture for automotive seat frames by using a structure consisting of a lead screw, lead screw block, connecting rod, movable block, through hole, and support block. The support block supports the steel pipe, and its height is adjustable. This eliminates the need for operators to manually fix the steel pipe, allowing for precise welding of the steel pipe onto the frame. However, some internal reinforcing ribs in seat frames require manual support and fixing during welding, and manual support and grinding are necessary before welding. Displacement is also prone to occur during the welding process. Therefore, we propose a welding fixture for automotive seat frames. Summary of the Invention

[0012] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes a limiting groove rod and an adapter top block fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing table.

Before welding, the welding surface is polished by a polishing steering arm and a rotating polishing head. After welding is completed, the moving plate moves backward, and the welded points are polished again by the polishing steering arm and the rotating polishing head, thereby smoothing out defects such as weld slag and burrs that may be generated during the welding process, preventing unnecessary trouble during subsequent painting.

[0027] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0028] like Figures 1-8The illustrated automotive seat frame welding fixture includes a processing table 1, a frame outer frame 7, reinforcing ribs 8, and a head connector 9. A sliding rod 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing table 1, and a movable plate 11 is slidably connected inside the sliding rod 10. A welding structure 2 is provided on the upper surface of the movable plate 11, a grinding mechanism 3 is provided on one side of the movable plate 11, and a moving mechanism 6 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 11. A clamping mechanism 4 and a pressing mechanism 5 are provided at the upper end of the processing table 1.

[0029] The welding structure 2 is used to perform circumferential welding around the outer frame 7 of the skeleton during the welding process. At the same time, the grinding mechanism 3 is used to grind the welding part. The clamping mechanism 4 is used to fix the reinforcing rib 8 during welding, so as to prevent shaking during the welding process. Meanwhile, the pressing mechanism 5 is used to fix the outer frame 7 of the skeleton, so that the outer frame 7 of the skeleton and the reinforcing rib 8 are welded stably during the welding process.

[0030] The welding structure 2 includes a semi-fixed shaft 201 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 11. A semi-gear 202 is rotatably connected to the outer surface of the semi-fixed shaft 201. A welding frame 203 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 11. A welding motor 204 is fixedly connected inside the welding frame 203. A welding gear 205 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the welding motor 204. A rotating table 206 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the movable plate 11. A welding steering arm 207 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the rotating table 206. A welding head 208 is rotatably connected to the top end of the welding steering arm 207. A grinding steering arm 301 is rotatably connected to one side of the movable plate 11. A rotating grinding head 302 is rotatably connected to the top end of the grinding steering arm 301. The semi-gear 202 and the welding gear 205 are meshed. The semi-fixed shaft 201 and the semi-gear 202 are both one-third circles.

[0031] Furthermore, during the welding process, the moving plate 11 is driven forward by the power motor 603, while the welding motor 204 starts and drives the welding gear 205 and half gear 202 to rotate, thereby driving the welding head 208 to weld the welding points on both sides of the outer frame 7. When the half gear 202 rotates, it will drive the welding steering arm 207 and the welding head 208 to move left and right above the outer frame 7. Before welding, the welding surface is ground by the grinding steering arm 301 and the rotating grinding head 302. After welding is completed, the moving plate 11 moves backward, and the weld points are ground again by the grinding steering arm 301 and the rotating grinding head 302, thereby smoothing out defects such as welding slag and burrs that may be generated during the welding process, and preventing unnecessary trouble in subsequent painting.

[0032] A moving motor 15 is fixedly connected inside the processing table 1. A moving threaded rod 16 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the moving motor 15. A moving block 17 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the moving threaded rod 16. A lifting hydraulic rod 18 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving block 17. A fixed hydraulic rod 410 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing table 1. A moving fixed plate 412 is fixedly connected to one end of the fixed hydraulic rod 410. A fixed platform 401 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the lifting hydraulic rod 18. A first rotating pressure rod 402 and a second rotating pressure rod 405 are rotatably connected inside the fixed platform 401. A first clamping gear 403 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first rotating pressure rod 402. A clamping frame 407 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of 401. A clamping motor 408 is fixedly connected inside the clamping frame 407. A second clamping gear 409 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the clamping motor 408. A first transmission belt 404 is driven to the outer surface of the first rotating pressure rod 402. A second transmission belt 406 is driven to the outer surface of the second rotating pressure rod 405. The first rotating pressure rod 402 and the second rotating pressure rod 405 are driven to be connected through the first transmission belt 404. The first clamping gear 403 and the second clamping gear 409 are meshed together. The moving block 17 is slidably connected inside the processing table 1. The moving fixed plate 412 is inserted into the inside of the head connecting frame 9.

[0033] Furthermore, after the outer frame 7 is placed above the adapter top block 505, the outer frame 7 is clamped and fixed by the clamping mechanism 5. At the same time, after the reinforcing rib 8 is placed above the fixing platform 401, the reinforcing rib 8 is fixed by rotating the first rotating pressure rod 402 and pulling down the lifting hydraulic rod 18, thereby ensuring the stability of the outer frame 7 and the reinforcing rib 8 during the welding process.

[0034] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a limiting groove rod 501 and an adapter top block 505 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the processing table 1. A lifting threaded rod 502 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the processing table 1. A lifting rod 503 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting threaded rod 502. A third rotating pressure rod 504 is rotatably connected to the upper surface of the lifting rod 503. The skeleton frame 7 is placed above the adapter top block 505 and is adapted to the adapter top block 505. The lifting rod 503 slides inside the limiting groove rod 501.

[0035] Furthermore, after the outer frame 7 is placed above the adapter top block 505, the lifting threaded rod 502 is rotated to move the lifting rod 503 upward so that the third rotating pressure rod 504 extends above the outer frame 7. Then, the third rotating pressure rod 504 is rotated and the lifting threaded rod 502 is rotated in the opposite direction, so that the lifting threaded rod 502 can press and fix the outer frame 7.

[0036] The moving mechanism 6 includes a power motor 603 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the moving plate 11. A transmission rod 601 is drivenly connected to the output shaft of the power motor 603. A moving wheel 602 is rotatably connected to the lower end of the moving plate 11. The transmission rod 601 and the moving wheel 602 are drivenly connected. A dust suction port 12 is opened at one end of the processing table 1. A fixed frame 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the end of the processing table 1 away from the dust suction port 12. A powerful fan 14 is fixedly connected inside the fixed frame 13.

[0037] Furthermore, the movable mechanism 6 can be used to move the movable plate 11 and the welded structure 2. When the power motor 603 starts, it drives the transmission rod 601 to rotate, and then the transmission rod 601 conveys the material to the movable wheel 602 to move the movable plate 11. At the same time, the powerful fan 14 and the dust suction port 12 can absorb the dust from the grinding process.

[0038] Working principle: After the outer frame 7 is placed above the adapter top block 505, the clamping mechanism 5 clamps and fixes the outer frame 7. Simultaneously, after the reinforcing rib 8 is placed above the fixing platform 401, the first rotating pressure rod 402 rotates and the lifting hydraulic rod 18 pulls down to fix the reinforcing rib 8, thus ensuring the stability of the outer frame 7 and the reinforcing rib 8 during welding. During welding, the moving plate 11 is driven forward by the power motor 603, and at the same time, the welding motor 204 starts, driving the welding gear 205 and half gear 202 to rotate, thereby driving the welding... The joint 208 welds the welding points on both sides of the outer frame 7. When the half gear 202 rotates, it will drive the welding steering arm 207 and the welding head 208 to move left and right above the outer frame 7. Before welding, the welding surface is ground by the set grinding steering arm 301 and the rotating grinding head 302. After welding is completed, the moving plate 11 moves backward. After welding, the welding point is ground again by the grinding steering arm 301 and the rotating grinding head 302, so as to grind and smooth out defects such as welding slag and burrs that may be generated during the welding process, and prevent unnecessary trouble in subsequent painting.

[0039] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
