Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to a workpiece spot welding and repair welding error-proof shearing mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Few companies or technicians pay much attention to the error prevention of spot welding and repair welding of automotive thermoformed parts. Quality accidents that occur during the manufacturing process are often attributed to improper operation and mixing of materials by operators, without fundamentally solving the problem. Some companies with error prevention awareness will add visual marking detection to the operating instructions and inspection instructions, or add visual mechanisms to the tooling to detect welds for error prevention, thereby preventing quality accidents such as missing welds on the workpiece and mixing of workpieces before and after welding.
[0003] Although adding visual marking inspection can solve basic problems, adding visual inspection during production operations will require employees to perform an additional process (visual marking inspection), which increases the working hours of employees and reduces the OEE of equipment. Often, employees may be careless while taking into account output and quality. It can only be said that visual marking inspection reduces the frequency of occurrence, but cannot completely eliminate defects. Adding visual mechanisms to tooling to detect solder joints for error prevention can effectively prevent errors, but the equipment cost itself is very high. A good visual system can cost tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan. For small and medium-sized enterprises, this technical solution is not cost-effective and practical.
[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned situation where the workpieces before and after repair welding are mixed with each other due to manual negligence, and the technical cost of using visual inspection to avoid errors is high, a cost-effective and reliable anti-error shearing mechanism for spot welding and repair welding of hot-formed workpieces can be designed. Through the shearing operation of the hot-formed parts, the workpieces before and after repair welding can be clearly distinguished, thereby avoiding the occurrence of mixing of missed welding spots.
