Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of welding devices for anti-collision energy-absorbing structures at the front of automobiles, specifically to a welding device for an anti-collision energy-absorbing structure at the front of an automobile. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of modern transportation vehicles, buildings, and industrial equipment, collision avoidance technology is being applied more and more widely in various fields. Especially in the safety design of transportation vehicles, collision avoidance energy absorption structures play a crucial role.

[0003] Patent publication number CN212398653U relates to the technical field of welding devices for anti-collision energy-absorbing structures at the front of automobiles. It includes a protective box, a suction fan, and a processing box. The protective box contains a processing plate and a welding torch mechanism. The output and input ends of the suction fan are fixedly connected to a suction pipe and an exhaust pipe, respectively. This protective welding device prevents sparks and harmful gases generated during welding from harming the health of workers by transferring the welding process inside the protective box. The suction fan absorbs harmful gases generated inside the protective box and discharges them into the processing box for treatment, preventing their spread. When the suction pipe absorbs harmful gases, a through-hole suction baffle moves the connecting pipe to the right, drawing air through suction holes on the outer surface of the connecting pipe. When the suction fan stops running, a backflow prevention structure is formed by the sealing plug, baffle, and connecting pipe, effectively preventing the backflow of harmful gases.

[0004] The aforementioned patent uses air intake holes on the outer surface of the connecting pipe to draw in air. When the fan stops running, the sealing plug, baffle, and connecting pipe form an anti-backflow structure, which effectively prevents harmful gases from flowing back. However, when welding the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam, the energy-absorbing beam may shift from the front frame during the welding process. Once this shift occurs, the positioning of the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam will be inaccurate, which may affect the performance of the energy-absorbing structure and reduce the energy absorption efficiency during a collision. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a welding device for an anti-collision energy-absorbing structure at the front end of an automobile, solving the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a welding device for an anti-collision energy-absorbing structure at the front end of an automobile, comprising a support frame, a front frame placed on top of the support frame, an energy-absorbing beam placed on top of the front frame, a motor fixedly mounted at the bottom of the support frame, a lead screw fixedly mounted at the output end of the motor, a fixing rod rotatably mounted on the support frame away from the motor, a square plate fixedly mounted on the side of the support frame near the fixing rod, a groove formed on the side of the square plate near the fixing rod, the fixing rod contacting the inner wall of the groove, a welding gun placed inside the fixing rod, and a fixing device also provided on the top of the support frame; The fixing device also includes: a rotating plate, a clamping plate, a sliding plate, a clamp, a buffer plate, a sliding block, a rotating rod, a pin, and a fixing component. The sliding plate is slidably mounted on the top of the support frame. The clamp is rotatably mounted on the top of the sliding plate. The rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the top of the support frame. The clamp is slidably mounted on the top of the support frame. The buffer plate is fixedly mounted on the side of the clamp near the front frame. The sliding block is slidably mounted on the top of the clamp. The rotating rod is rotatably mounted on both sides of the sliding block. The pin is rotatably mounted on the top of the sliding block. The fixing component is rotatably mounted on the side of the clamp near the front frame. The movement of the sliding plate will drive the clamp to move, and the movement of the clamp will clamp and fix the front frame. The movement of the sliding plate will contact the rotating plate, and the sliding plate will push the rotating plate to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate will push the clamp to move towards the front frame. The movement of the clamp will drive the buffer plate to move, and the movement of the buffer plate will fix the energy-absorbing beam. Before welding, the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam are fixed in the correct position to ensure that their relative position and angle meet the design requirements. Precise positioning is crucial to ensuring that the energy-absorbing structure works effectively during a collision.

[0007] According to the above technical solution, a circular hole is provided at the top of the rotating rod, and the pin contacts the inside of the circular hole. The contact between the pin and the inside of the circular hole is to limit the rotation of the rotating rod. A fixing groove is provided on the side of the sliding block near the fixing member, and the fixing member contacts the inside of the fixing groove. The contact between the fixing member and the inside of the fixing groove is to limit the sliding block.

[0008] According to the above technical solution, a first torsion spring is provided between the rotating plate and the support frame. The first torsion spring is provided to drive the rotating plate back to its original position. A second torsion spring is provided between the pin and the sliding block. The second torsion spring is provided to drive the pin to rotate and limit the rotation rod. A third torsion spring is provided between the fixing member and the clamping plate. The third torsion spring is provided to drive the fixing member to rotate and limit the sliding block.

[0009] According to the above technical solution, the top of the support frame is further provided with a cleaning device for scraping the welded part between the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam, and a collection device for collecting welding slag. The cleaning device includes a pressure plate, a first hydraulic rod, a first hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic cylinder, a second hydraulic rod, and a rotating pressure plate. The pressure plate is fixedly installed on the side of the clamp away from the clamping plate. The first hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the side of the slide away from the clamp. The first hydraulic rod is slidably installed on the inner wall of the first hydraulic cylinder. The second hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed on the side of the support frame near the welding gun. The second hydraulic rod is slidably installed on the inner wall of the second hydraulic cylinder. The first hydraulic cylinder and the second hydraulic cylinder are connected by a hose. The pressure plate is rotatably mounted on the side of the slide plate near the first hydraulic cylinder. The top of the first hydraulic rod is rotatably connected to the bottom of the rotating pressure plate. When the liquid inside the second hydraulic cylinder decreases, it will pull the second hydraulic rod to move into the second hydraulic cylinder. When the second hydraulic rod moves into the second hydraulic cylinder, it will lose contact with the fixed rod, and the limit of the fixed rod will be released. Then the fixed rod can rotate to release the fixation of the welding gun, avoiding welding before the front frame and energy-absorbing beam are fixed. This also avoids the welding object from shifting during the welding of the front frame and energy-absorbing beam, which would cause welding deviation. Shifting would cause uneven contact between the welding surfaces, resulting in some parts of the welding being weak or insufficient. Welding deviation would reduce the connection strength between the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam.

[0010] According to the above technical solution, the cleaning device further includes a round rod, a telescopic scraper, and a connecting rod. The round rod is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the clamping plate, and the telescopic scraper is slidably mounted on the circumferential surface of the round rod. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the buffer plate, and the other end of the connecting rod is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the clamping plate. When the buffer plate moves away from the clamping plate, the buffer plate will drive the connecting rod to move away from the telescopic scraper. The telescopic scraper will then be driven by the No. 4 torsion spring to rotate back to its original position. The rotation of the telescopic scraper will scrape the welding position between the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam, cleaning the welding slag on the surface of the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam. If the welding slag is not cleaned in time, it will cause uneven weld scars and cracks to form on the surface of the weld joint, thereby reducing the strength of the joint. Cleaning the welding slag helps to ensure the uniformity and quality of the weld joint, reduce stress concentration, and improve the strength, reliability, and long-term durability of the weld joint.

[0011] According to the above technical solution, the connecting rod contacts the telescopic scraper, the first hydraulic rod slides through the square plate and the fixed rod, the fourth torsion spring is provided between the round rod and the clamping plate, the fourth torsion spring is provided to drive the round rod back to its original position, and the fifth torsion spring is provided between the rotating pressure plate and the sliding plate, the fifth torsion spring is provided to drive the rotating pressure plate back to its original position.

[0012] According to the above technical solution, the collecting device includes a telescopic cover, an outer frame, an inner box, a rotating rod, a rotating plate, a telescopic rod, an inclined plate, and a sliding plate. A collecting groove is provided on the top of the support frame. The telescopic cover is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the collecting groove. The telescopic cover is connected to the round rod via a flexible rope. The outer frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom of the support frame. The inner box is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the outer frame. A square groove is provided on the inner wall of the collecting groove. The rotating plate is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the square groove. The rotating rod is fixedly mounted on the side of the rotating plate away from the telescopic cover. The sliding plate is slidably mounted on the bottom of the inner wall of the inner box. One end of the inclined plate is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the inner box. The other end of the inclined plate is rotatably mounted on the top of the sliding plate on the inner wall of the box. The telescopic rod is slidably mounted on the inner wall of the sliding plate. The movement of the telescopic rod will drive the sliding plate to move. The movement of the sliding plate will push the first spring to store force. When the telescopic cover loses contact with the telescopic rod, the first spring will push the sliding plate to move. The movement of the sliding plate will push the collected welding slag towards the center of the inner box, avoiding the accumulation of welding slag inside the inner box. Welding slag will harden after cooling, especially when it accumulates for a long time, making it very difficult to clean. When the welding slag accumulates to a certain height, it may affect the removal of the inner box and increase the difficulty of cleaning the welding slag inside the inner box.

[0013] According to the above technical solution, a No. 6 torsion spring is provided between the telescopic cover and the collection trough. The No. 6 torsion spring is provided to drive the telescopic cover back to its original position. A No. 7 torsion spring is provided between the rotating plate and the square trough. The No. 7 torsion spring is provided to drive the rotating plate to rotate and seal the collection trough. A No. 1 spring is provided between the sliding plate and the inner box. The No. 1 spring is provided to push the sliding plate back to its original position. A No. 2 spring is provided between the telescopic rod and the sliding plate. The No. 2 torsion spring is provided to drive the telescopic rod back to its original position. The top of the telescopic rod is provided with an inclined surface.

[0014] This invention provides a welding device for a collision-resistant energy-absorbing structure at the front of an automobile. It offers the following advantages: (1) In this invention, the movement of the skateboard will drive the movement of the clamp, the movement of the clamp will clamp and fix the front frame, the movement of the skateboard will contact the rotating plate, the skateboard will push the rotating plate to rotate, the rotation of the rotating plate will push the clamp to move towards the front frame, the movement of the clamp will drive the movement of the buffer plate, the movement of the buffer plate will fix the energy-absorbing beam. Before welding, the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam are fixed in the correct position to ensure that their relative position and angle meet the design requirements. Precise positioning is crucial to ensure that the energy-absorbing structure works effectively during the collision. When the buffer plate has not yet fixed the energy-absorbing beam, the energy-absorbing beam will be limited by the rotating rod so that the energy-absorbing beam will not move. When the sliding block moves to the appropriate position, the sliding block is limited by the contact between the fixing part and the inner wall of the fixing groove to avoid the sliding block moving when the energy-absorbing beam is limited, causing the energy-absorbing beam to deviate from the welded position. Inaccurate positioning of the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam may affect the performance of the energy-absorbing structure and reduce the energy absorption efficiency during the collision.

[0015] (2) In this invention, when the second hydraulic rod moves into the second hydraulic cylinder, it loses contact with the fixed rod, and the limit of the fixed rod is released. Then the fixed rod can rotate to release the fixing of the welding gun, avoiding welding before the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam are fixed. It also avoids the welding object from shifting during the welding of the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam, which would cause welding deviation. The shift would cause uneven contact between the welding surfaces, resulting in some parts being not firmly welded or not fully welded. Welding deviation would reduce the connection strength between the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam, and the buffer plate would gradually move away from the clamping plate. When the buffer plate moves away from the clamping plate, the buffer plate will drive the connecting rod to move away from the telescopic scraper. The telescopic scraper will then be driven by the No. 4 torsion spring to rotate back to its original position. The rotation of the telescopic scraper will scrape the welded area between the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam, cleaning the weld slag on the surface of the front frame and the energy-absorbing beam. If the weld slag is not cleaned in time, it will cause uneven weld scars and cracks to form on the surface of the welded joint, thereby reducing the strength of the joint. Cleaning the weld slag helps to ensure the uniformity and quality of the welded joint, reduce stress concentration, and improve the strength, reliability and long-term durability of the welded joint.

[0016] (3) In this invention, the movement of the telescopic rod will drive the sliding plate to move, and the movement of the sliding plate will push the No. 1 spring to store force. When the telescopic cover loses contact with the telescopic rod, the No. 1 spring will push the sliding plate to move. The movement of the sliding plate will push the collected welding slag to move towards the center of the inner box to prevent the welding slag from accumulating inside the inner box. The welding slag will harden after cooling, especially when it accumulates for a long time, making it very difficult to clean. When the welding slag accumulates to a certain height, it may affect the removal of the inner box and increase the difficulty of cleaning the welding slag inside the inner box. When the inner box is pulled out, it will lose its obstruction to the rotating rod. When the obstruction of the rotating rod is released, the limit of the rotating plate will be released, and the No. 7 torsion spring will push the rotating plate to rotate and seal the collection groove, so that the welding slag will be temporarily stored on the surface of the rotating plate when the inner box is pulled out, preventing the welding slag from falling to other places. The welding slag is usually composed of metal residue, oxides and other chemical substances. If it falls outside the inner box, it may cause environmental pollution. If the welding slag is not cleaned up in time, it may cause pollution to the ground, surrounding facilities or other equipment. Attached Figure Description

The rotation of the rotating plate 7 will push the clamp 8 to move towards the front frame 3. The movement of the clamp 8 will cause the buffer plate 11 to move, and the movement of the buffer plate 11 will fix the energy-absorbing beam 2. Before welding, the front frame 3 and the energy-absorbing beam 2 are fixed in the correct position to ensure that their relative position and angle meet the design requirements. Precise positioning is crucial to ensuring that the energy-absorbing structure works effectively during the collision.

The rotation of the chuck 10 will cause the pressure plate 181 to move. The movement of the pressure plate 181 will push the rotating pressure plate 189 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating pressure plate 189 will pull the first hydraulic rod 182 to slide away from the first hydraulic cylinder 183. The movement of the first hydraulic rod 182 away from the first hydraulic cylinder 183 will draw the liquid inside the second hydraulic cylinder 184 into the first hydraulic cylinder 183. When the liquid inside cylinder 184 decreases, it pulls hydraulic rod 185 towards the inside of cylinder 184. As hydraulic rod 185 moves towards cylinder 184, it loses contact with fixed rod 16, releasing the limit on fixed rod 16. This allows fixed rod 16 to rotate and release the welding gun 4, preventing welding from occurring before the front frame 3 and energy-absorbing beam 2 are properly fixed. This also prevents misalignment during welding of the front frame 3 and energy-absorbing beam 2, thus avoiding welding deviations. When clamping plate 8 pushes slowly... When the impact plate 11 fixes the energy-absorbing beam 2, the buffer plate 11 will be unable to move further due to contact with the energy-absorbing beam 2. Since the clamping plate 8 will continue to move towards the energy-absorbing beam 2, the distance between the clamping plate 8 and the buffer plate 11 will continuously decrease. This decreasing distance will push the connecting rod 188 towards the telescopic scraper 187. The connecting rod 188 will then push the telescopic scraper 187 to rotate towards the energy-absorbing beam 2. The rotation of the telescopic scraper 187 will drive the round rod 186 to rotate, and the rotation of the round rod 186 will cause the fourth torsion spring to... After the front frame 3 and the energy-absorbing beam 2 are welded together, the fixing of the front frame 3 and the energy-absorbing beam 2 will be released. Then the buffer plate 11 will gradually move away from the clamping plate 8. As the buffer plate 11 moves away from the clamping plate 8, the buffer plate 11 will drive the connecting rod 188 to move away from the telescopic scraper 187. The telescopic scraper 187 will be driven by the fourth torsion spring to rotate back to its original position. The rotation of the telescopic scraper 187 will scrape the welded position of the front frame 3 and the energy-absorbing beam 2 and clean the welding slag on the surface of the front frame 3 and the energy-absorbing beam 2.

[0030] Link 188 pushes the telescopic scraper 187 to rotate toward the energy-absorbing beam 2. The rotation of the telescopic scraper 187 drives the round rod 186 to rotate. The rotation of the round rod 186 pulls the soft rope to wind up. When the soft rope winds up, it pulls the telescopic cover 191 to rotate and seal the collection trough. The rotation of the telescopic cover 191 pushes the sixth torsion spring to store force. After welding is completed, the round rod 186 will rotate back to its original position. When the round rod 186 rotates back to its original position, the wound soft rope will be released. Then the sixth torsion spring will drive the telescopic cover 191 to rotate toward the telescopic rod 196, and the collection trough will be opened. The scraped welding slag will enter the inner box 193 through the collection trough. When the telescopic cover 191 rotates, the plate inside the telescopic cover 191 will move outward. Then the telescopic cover 191 will contact the telescopic rod 196. The telescopic cover 191 will push the telescopic rod 196. 96 moves towards the inclined plate 197. The movement of the telescopic rod 196 will drive the sliding plate 198 to move. The movement of the sliding plate 198 will push the first spring to store force. When the telescopic cover 191 loses contact with the telescopic rod 196, the first spring will push the sliding plate 198 to move. The movement of the sliding plate 198 will push the collected welding slag towards the center of the inner box 193 to prevent the welding slag from accumulating inside the inner box 193. When it is necessary to centrally process the welding slag inside the inner box 193, the inner box 193 will be pulled out. When the inner box 193 is pulled out, it will lose its obstruction to the rotating rod 194. When the obstruction of the rotating rod 194 is released, the limit of the rotating plate 195 will be released. Then the seventh torsion spring will push the rotating plate 195 to rotate and seal the collection groove, so that the welding slag will be temporarily stored on the surface of the rotating plate 195 when the inner box 193 is pulled out.
