Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of argon arc welding equipment, specifically a fully automatic argon arc welding device for lightweight aluminum alloy structures in automobiles. Background Technology
[0002] Lightweight aluminum alloy structures for automobiles are an advanced vehicle manufacturing technology that replaces traditional steel materials with aluminum alloys to reduce weight in core structural components such as the body, chassis, and powertrain, while ensuring overall vehicle safety, structural rigidity, and service durability. The production of these structural components requires the use of argon arc welding technology and equipment to weld the aluminum alloy components into shape, thereby meeting the requirements for mass production and structural strength.
[0003] Argon arc welding (ATW) is based on conventional electric arc welding. It utilizes argon gas to create a protective gas layer around the weld area, and relies on a high current to melt the base material and welding consumables to form a molten pool, ultimately achieving a metallurgical bond. In ATW welding of tubular aluminum alloy components, the argon gas output from the welding torch only protects the outer weld area of the pipe and cannot diffuse into the interior. Under the high-temperature welding environment, the inner wall of the aluminum alloy pipe is prone to oxidation with oxygen in the air, leading to quality defects such as oxide inclusions and decreased weld performance. Currently, the mainstream solution in the industry is to place two airbags inside the pipe. After inflation, the airbags expand and adhere to the pipe wall, sealing the space on both sides of the weld joint to isolate it from air and prevent oxidation of the inner wall. However, this process has significant drawbacks: when the pipe length is large, the difficulty of inserting and placing the airbags increases significantly; also, after the airbags are placed inside the pipe, the distance between them is difficult to control, often resulting in an excessively small gap.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1-8 The diagram shows a fully automated argon arc welding device for lightweight aluminum alloy structures in automobiles. It includes a base 1 and a horizontal slide 2 mounted on top of the base 1. A vertical slide 3 is mounted on top of the horizontal slide 2, and an argon arc welding head 4 is mounted on the outer side of the vertical slide 3. Two symmetrically distributed mounting seats are fixedly mounted on the top of the base 1. Electric claw plates 5 are mounted inside the mounting seats. Two aluminum alloy tubes are inserted into the inner sides of the two electric claw plates 5, with the welding ends of the two aluminum alloy tubes contacting each other, causing the two electric claw plates to... Two gripper discs 5 clamp two aluminum alloy tubes respectively. A vertical slide 3 moves the argon arc welding head 4 close to the welding points of the two aluminum alloy tubes. Two electric gripper discs 5 rotate the aluminum alloy tubes, allowing the argon arc welding head 4 to weld the outer side of the tubes. An elastic airbag 6 is installed on the outer side of the mounting base. The inner layer of the airbag 6 is flame-retardant polyurethane, and the outer layer is a high-temperature resistant heat-insulating cloth conforming to glass limiting. It can withstand 300℃ radiant heat for a short time and continuously withstand temperatures of 180-220℃, suitable for the high-current TIG welding heat radiation conditions of thick aluminum alloy tubes. The two elastic airbags 6 then block the two aluminum alloy tubes respectively. The sealing mechanism includes two movable plates 7 located on the outer sides of two mounting bases, which can push the elastic airbag 6 into the aluminum alloy tube. The sealing mechanism also includes two support plates 10 symmetrically fixedly installed on the top of the device base 1. A mounting frame 11 is fixedly installed between the two support plates 10. Two symmetrically distributed mounting blocks 12 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 11. Both movable plates 7 are located inside the mounting frame 11. Screws 13 are threaded onto both ends of the movable plates 7, and the screws 13 are rotatably installed between the mounting frame 11 and the adjacent mounting block 12. An optical shaft for limiting the sliding of the movable plates 7 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the mounting frame 11. A synchronous belt 14 is rotatably installed between the two adjacent screws 13, and the inner side of the mounting frame 11 has an opening for the synchronous belt 14. The cavity to be installed has drive motors 15 fixedly installed on both sides of the mounting frame 11. The output end of the drive motor 15 is fixedly connected to one end of the adjacent screw 13. When the drive motor 15 is running, it can drive the corresponding screw 13 to rotate. The screw 13 drives another corresponding screw 13 to rotate synchronously through the synchronous belt 14. The two screws 13 drive the moving plate 7 to move along the outer side of the optical axis. The two drive motors 15 are independently controlled. The outer side of the moving plate 7 is rotatably mounted with mounting rods 16. Two symmetrically distributed mounting discs 17 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the mounting rods 16. Two elastic airbags 6 are fixedly mounted on the outer side of the two mounting rods 16, and the two ends of the elastic airbags 6 are in contact with the two mounting discs 17 respectively. When the moving plate 7 moves, it can push the mounting plate 7 to rotate. The mounting rod 16 inserts the elastic airbag 6 into the inner side of the aluminum alloy tube. An injection pipe 18, penetrating the adjacent mounting plate 17, is fixedly installed on the outer side of the elastic airbag 6. Gas is injected into the elastic airbag 6 through the injection pipe 18, causing the elastic airbag 6 to inflate and press against the inner side of the aluminum alloy tube, thus sealing the inner sides of the two aluminum alloy tubes and preventing oxidation during welding. This facilitates welding of aluminum alloy tubes of various sizes and improves the convenience of welding. Rubber reinforcing strips 33 are fixedly installed at both ends of the elastic airbag 6, and the mounting plate 17 has an annular groove on the side near the elastic airbag 6 for the rubber reinforcing strips 33 to be inserted and positioned. During a collision, the rubber reinforcing strips 33 provide tension to the ends of the elastic airbag 6, preventing... To prevent the elastic airbag 6 from detaching from the mounting plate 17, an exhaust pipe 34 is fixedly installed at the end of the elastic airbag 6 away from the moving plate 7. An insertion cavity for the exhaust pipe 34 is provided on the outer side of the mounting plate 17 near the exhaust pipe 34. The end of the insertion cavity away from the exhaust pipe 34 has a frustum structure and a sealing block 35 is inserted therefore. A second tension spring 36 is fixedly installed between the outer side of the sealing block 35 and the inner side of the insertion cavity. Argon gas can be injected into the elastic airbag 6 through the injection pipe 18. When the pressure inside the elastic airbag 6 is too high, the argon gas inside the elastic airbag 6 can push open the sealing block 35 and stretch the second tension spring 36, causing the sealing block 35 to open the insertion cavity. Argon gas can then enter the space formed between the two elastic airbags 6 and the two aluminum alloy tubes, providing protection for the inner side of the aluminum alloy tubes.To prevent oxidation, a slide cylinder 38 is fixedly installed on the side of the sealing block 35 near the second tension spring 36. The slide cylinder 38 is slidably installed inside the insertion cavity, and multiple centrally symmetrically distributed vent holes are opened on the outer side of the slide cylinder 38. The slide cylinder 38 provides support and guidance for the movement of the sealing block 35, and argon gas can be discharged through the vent holes.
[0022] Example 2: Please refer to Figures 2-6 This embodiment further illustrates Example 1. The flat support mechanism shown in the figure includes a baffle 8 disposed on the outside of the movable plate 7. The baffle 8 can adjust the sealing position of the two elastic airbags 6. The flat support mechanism also includes a fixed plate 19 fixedly installed on the outside of the mounting rod 16. The two baffles 8 are respectively sleeved on the outside of the mounting rod 16. A plurality of centrally symmetrically distributed support rods 20 are fixedly installed on the side of the fixed plate 19 near the baffle 8. A first sleeve 21 is fixedly installed between the plurality of support rods 20. The baffle 8 is close to the fixed plate. A second sleeve 22 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting rod 16. The second sleeve 22 is sleeved on the outside of the mounting rod 16, and the first sleeve 21 is sleeved on the outside of the second sleeve 22. A first tension spring 23 is fixedly installed between the end of the first sleeve 21 away from the fixed plate 19 and the baffle 8. When the mounting rod 16 moves, it can drive the baffle 8 to contact the end of the aluminum alloy tube. As the mounting rod 16 moves, the mounting rod 16 pulls the support rod 20 through the fixed plate 19. The support rod 20 stretches the first tension spring 23 through the first sleeve 21, so that... The baffle 8 rests against the end of the aluminum alloy tube, while the mounting rod 16 extends into the inside of the aluminum alloy tube. The baffle 8, in conjunction with the second sleeve 22, provides auxiliary support for the mounting rod 16, allowing it to smoothly deliver the elastic airbag 6 into the longer aluminum alloy tube and preventing the mounting rod 16 from tilting. The two elastic airbags 6 can be inflated in any position, facilitating the sealing of two aluminum alloy tubes of different lengths. Multiple centrally symmetrically distributed positioning strips 24 are fixedly installed on the inner side of the baffle 8. The outer side of the rod 16 is provided with a positioning groove for the positioning strip 24 to slide in a limited manner. When the aluminum alloy tube rotates, the aluminum alloy tube drives the mounting rod 16 to rotate through the elastic airbag 6. The mounting rod 16 drives the baffle 8 to rotate synchronously through the positioning strip 24, so as to prevent the aluminum alloy tube from causing wear to the elastic airbag 6 and the baffle 8. An annular pad 39 is fixedly installed on the side of the baffle 8 near the second sleeve 22. The annular pad 39 is made of rubber. The baffle 8 can press against the outer side of the aluminum alloy tube through the annular pad 39 to provide protection for the aluminum alloy tube.
[0023] Example 3: Please refer to Figures 2-8This embodiment further illustrates other embodiments. The distance control mechanism shown in the figure includes a stop bar 9 disposed inside the elastic airbag 6. The stop bar 9 ensures the minimum distance between the two elastic airbags 6. The distance control mechanism also includes a mounting cavity opened inside the mounting rod 16. A mounting plate 25 is slidably mounted inside the mounting cavity. Two symmetrically distributed gears 26 are rotatably mounted inside the mounting cavity. The top and bottom of the mounting plate 25 are fixedly mounted with first racks 27 that mesh with the two gears 26 respectively. The inner side of the second sleeve 22 is fixedly mounted with two first racks 27 that mesh with the two gears 26 respectively. The second rack 28 has a long groove on the outer side of the mounting rod 16 for limiting the sliding of the second rack 28. When the baffle 8 contacts the end of the aluminum alloy tube, the movement of the mounting rod 16 can drive the gear 26 to roll along the teeth of the first rack 27. The gear 26 can then drive the mounting plate 25 to move along the mounting cavity of the mounting rod 16 through the second rack 28. A sleeve block 29 is fixedly installed at one end of the mounting plate 25. The stop rod 9 is a hollow structure and is sleeved on the outer side of the sleeve block 29. A spring 31 is fixedly installed between the inner side of the stop rod 9 and the outer side of the sleeve block 29. The stop rod 9 is away from the mounting plate 27. A contact piece 32 is fixedly installed at one end of the plate 25. When any one of the baffles 8 contacts a longer aluminum alloy tube, the mounting plate 25 can push the baffle 9 out of the mounting cavity of the mounting rod 16 through the sleeve block 29. When the other mounting rod 16 is inserted into a shorter aluminum alloy tube, the contact piece 32 on the mounting rod 16 can contact the other contact piece 32, thus alerting the operator and preventing the two elastic airbags 6 from being too close together when sealing two aluminum alloy tubes of different lengths. This improves the safety of the elastic airbags 6 sealing the aluminum alloy tube. 31 can provide a buffer for the movement of the stop bar 9. Multiple pulleys 30 are rotatably mounted on both sides of the mounting plate 25 and are distributed at equal intervals. The inner side of the mounting cavity is provided with a guide groove for the pulleys 30 to slide in a limited manner. The mounting plate 25 can drive the pulleys 30 to move along the inner side of the guide groove, so that the pulleys 30 provide auxiliary support for the mounting plate 25. A sliding rod 37 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the stop bar 9. The sleeve block 29 and the outer side of the mounting plate 25 are provided with a socket for the sliding rod 37 to be inserted in a limited manner. When the stop bar 9 moves, it can drive the sliding rod 37 to move along the inner side of the socket, so that the sliding rod 37 provides auxiliary support for the stop bar 9.
[0024] Working principle: First, the operator inserts two aluminum alloy tubes to be processed into two electric gripper discs 5, respectively, so that the contact ends of the two aluminum alloy tubes come into contact. The electric gripper discs 5 clamp and fix the aluminum alloy tubes. Then, the two drive motors 15 run synchronously, driving the corresponding screw 13 to rotate. This screw 13 drives the other corresponding screw 13 to rotate synchronously via a timing belt 14. This causes the two screws 13 to drive the moving plate 7 to move along the outer side of the optical axis. The moving plate 7 pushes the mounting rod 16 to move, so that the mounting rod 16, in conjunction with the two mounting discs 17, inserts the elastic airbag 6 into the inner side of the corresponding aluminum alloy tube. Subsequently, the operator injects argon gas into the elastic airbag 6 through the gas injection pipe 18, causing the elastic airbag to... The elastic airbag 6 inflates and presses against the inside of the aluminum alloy tube, sealing the inside of the two aluminum alloy tubes. As the air pressure inside the elastic airbag 6 increases, the argon gas inside the elastic airbag 6 pushes open the sealing block 35 and stretches the second tension spring 36, causing the sealing block 35 to open the cavity on the mounting plate 17. Argon gas enters the space formed between the two elastic airbags 6 and the two aluminum alloy tubes, providing protection for the inside of the aluminum alloy tubes. Finally, the vertical slide 3 drives the argon arc welding head 4 to move downward, bringing the argon arc welding head 4 close to the welding end of the two aluminum alloy plates. The two electric claw plates 5 drive the two aluminum alloy tubes to rotate, realizing the argon arc welding process of the aluminum alloy tubes, thus facilitating the processing of aluminum alloy tubes of more sizes. When welding two aluminum alloy tubes of different lengths, one of the mounting rods 16 is inserted into the longer aluminum alloy tube. The mounting rod 16 drives the baffle 8 to contact the end of the longer aluminum alloy tube. At this time, the mounting rod 16 continues to move, causing the mounting rod 16 to pull the support rod 20 through the fixed plate 19. The support rod 20 stretches the first tension spring 23 through the first sleeve 21, causing the baffle 8 to abut against the end of the aluminum alloy tube. The baffle 8 provides auxiliary support for the mounting rod 16 through the second sleeve 22, allowing the mounting rod 16 to smoothly send the elastic airbag 6 into the longer aluminum alloy tube. Furthermore, the mounting rod 16 drives the gear 26 to roll along the first rack 27 on the inner side of the second sleeve 22, causing the gear... Wheel 26 drives mounting plate 25 to move along the mounting cavity of mounting rod 16 via second rack 28. Mounting plate 25 pushes sleeve block 29 to move, so that sleeve block 29 pushes stop 9 out of mounting cavity of mounting rod 16 via spring 31. Then, another mounting rod 16 is inserted into the shorter aluminum alloy tube, so that the contact piece 32 at the end of stop 9 on the mounting rod 16 contacts the contact piece 32 at the end of stop 9 on the other mounting rod 16. This serves as a reminder to the operator and prevents the two elastic airbags 6 from getting too close when sealing two aluminum alloy tubes of different lengths, thereby improving the safety of the sealing of aluminum alloy tube by the elastic airbags 6.
