[0030] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only for explaining the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] A universal fixture for laser welding of contactors includes a handle 1, a cylindrical pin A2, a connecting rod 3, a cylindrical head screw 4, a positioning plate 5, a positioning block 6, a cylindrical pin B7, a pressure plate 8, a pressure spring 9, a guide sleeve 10, a pull rod A11, a cylindrical pin C12, a washer 13, a hexagonal nut 14, a pull rod B15, and a limit screw 16. The handle 1 is connected to the connecting rod 3 via the cylindrical pin A2. The handle 1 is also connected to the positioning plate 5 via the cylindrical head screw 4. A positioning block 6 is provided in the central groove of the positioning plate 5. The two sides of the central groove of the positioning plate 5 are respectively connected to the pressure plate 8 via the cylindrical pin B7. Each side of the positioning plate 5 has a through hole with a larger upper part and a smaller lower part. A pressure spring 9 is installed in the lower part of the larger hole, and a guide sleeve 10 is installed in the upper part of the larger hole. A pull rod A11 is installed in the left through hole. The lower part of the pull rod A11 passes through the positioning plate 5 and is connected to the left end of the connecting rod 3 through a cylindrical pin C12. The upper part of the pull rod A11 passes through the positioning plate 5 and is fixed by a washer 13 and a hexagonal nut 14. A pull rod B15 is installed in the right through hole. The lower part of the pull rod B15 passes through the positioning plate 5 and is connected to the right end of the connecting rod 3 through a cylindrical pin C12. The upper part of the pull rod B15 passes through the positioning plate 5 and is fixed by a limit screw 16.

[0032] The positioning disc 5 and positioning block 6 are the positioning parts of the fixture. To prevent wear on these parts from affecting the welding dimensions of the product, they are all made of Cr12MoV material with a HY surface hardening and a surface quenching temperature of 52-57. The remaining components, such as the pressure plate 8, guide sleeve 10, tie rod A11, tie rod B15, connecting rod 3, and handle 1, do not require high hardness and strength. For economic reasons, 45# steel with a HY surface hardening and a surface quenching temperature of 32-36 is sufficient. This ensures the fixture structure is stable, not easily oxidized, not easily deformed, and not easily worn.

[0033] The fixture is composed of a pressure plate 8, guide sleeve 10, pressure spring 9, pull rod A11, pull rod B15, positioning plate 5, connecting rod 3, handle 1, and positioning block 6. The positioning plate 5 and handle 1 are fastened together by two cylindrical head screws 4 to form the main body of the fixture. The rectangular inner cavity in the middle of the positioning plate 5 has a clearance fit with the outer shape of the positioning block 6. Both the positioning block 6 and the pressure plate 8 can be designed, selected, and replaced according to the dimensions of the product parts. This design greatly increases the versatility of the fixture.

[0034] The pressure plate 8, guide sleeve 10, pull rod A11, pull rod B15, and connecting rod 3 are combined to form the clamping mechanism of the fixture. The two pressure plates 8 are connected to the positioning plate 5 by pull rods A11 and B15 respectively. Two cylindrical pins B7 on the surface of the positioning plate 5 pass through the U-shaped long opening groove of the pressure plate 8, and together with pull rods A11 and B15, limit the sliding direction of the pressure plate 8. A guide sleeve 10 and a pressure spring 9 are installed between pull rods A11, B15, and the positioning plate 5. Tightening the hexagonal nut 14 presses the pressure plate 8 downwards while simultaneously pulling pull rod A11 upwards. Pull rod A11 drives the connecting rod 3 to pull pull rod B15 downwards, which in turn drives the other pressure plate 8 to press the component to be welded. When the hexagonal nut 14 is loosened, the pressure spring 9 pushes up the guide sleeve 10, which then pushes the pressure plate 8 upwards to release the welded product. This clamping method has the advantages of simple operation, good versatility, reliable clamping, and large force amplification ratio.
