DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0027] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work should fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0028] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the energy storage box generally includes a box body and a cover plate. The box body is mainly formed by welding the supporting bottom plate a and the frame. One of the uses of the tooling of the utility model is to fix and clamp the supporting bottom plate a and the frame (including the front frame b and the rear frame). The supporting bottom plate a can include a bottom plate body a1 and a left frame a2 and a right frame that are bent and extended on both sides. The bottom plate body a1, the left frame a2 and the frame can be integrally formed.
[0029] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the energy storage box welding tool in one embodiment of the utility model includes a base 1, a first clamping mechanism 2, a second clamping mechanism 3, a third clamping mechanism 4 and a fourth clamping mechanism 5; the base 1 is used to carry the supporting base plate a, and the base 1 is detachably mounted with a first positioning block 13, a second positioning block 14, a third positioning block 15 and a fourth positioning block 16; the first clamping mechanism 2 includes a rotating cylinder 21 detachably mounted on the base 1 and a first clamping member 22 connected to the output end of the rotating cylinder 21, and the first clamping mechanism 2 and the first positioning block 13 are connected to each other. The first and second clamping mechanisms 3 are detachably mounted on the base 1, and the second clamping mechanism 3 cooperates with the second positioning block 14 to clamp the supporting base plate a in the X direction; the third clamping mechanism 4 is detachably mounted on the base 1, and the third clamping mechanism 4 cooperates with the third positioning block 15 to clamp the supporting base plate a in the Y direction; the fourth clamping mechanism 5 is detachably mounted on the base 1, and the fourth clamping mechanism 5 cooperates with the fourth positioning block 16 to clamp the frame in the X direction.
[0030] It can be understood that the tooling of the utility model clamps and restricts the supporting bottom plate a and the frame from all directions through multiple clamping mechanisms, which plays a role in controlling the welding position accuracy and improving the welding efficiency. In addition, since each positioning block and each clamping mechanism are detachably mounted on the base 1, it can be applied to the clamping and fixing of boxes of different sizes. In addition, the first clamping mechanism 2 uses a rotating cylinder 21, which also facilitates the installation and placement of various parts of the box body on the tooling.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the base 1 of the tooling of the utility model can be installed on a CMT double-station workstation positioner (equipment that can be directly purchased on the market), and can rotate 360° around the X direction. The robot PLC transmission controls the welding gun c to feed wire and change the welding angle to achieve front and back welding of the workpiece (box body).
[0032] Specifically, the second clamping mechanism 3 includes a second cylinder 31 and a second clamping member 32 connected to the output end of the second cylinder 31. In other embodiments, the second clamping mechanism 3 may also be composed of other components as long as they can cooperate with the positioning block to clamp the supporting base plate a.
[0033] Specifically, the third clamping mechanism 4 includes a third cylinder 41 and a third clamping member 42 connected to the output end of the third cylinder 41. That is, the third holding mechanism cooperates with the third positioning block 15 to clamp the left frame a2 and the right frame. In other embodiments, the third clamping mechanism 4 can also be composed of other components, as long as it can cooperate with the positioning block to clamp the left frame a2 and the right frame of the supporting base plate a.
[0034] Specifically, the fourth clamping mechanism 5 includes a fourth cylinder 51 and a fourth clamping member 52 connected to the output end of the fourth cylinder 51. In other embodiments, the fourth clamping mechanism 5 may also be composed of other components as long as they can cooperate with the positioning block to play the role of clamping the frame.
[0035] It is understandable that the second clamping member 32, the third clamping member 42 and the fourth clamping member 52 can all be plate-shaped or block-shaped to facilitate clamping. The number of the first clamping mechanism 2, the second clamping mechanism 3, the third clamping mechanism 4 and the fourth clamping mechanism 5 can all be multiple, so as to uniformly clamp and fix the supporting bottom plate a and the frame.
[0036] Specifically, the base 1 has a first surface 11 and a second surface that are arranged opposite to each other, the first positioning block 13, the second positioning block 14, the third positioning block 15 and the fourth positioning block 16 are convexly arranged on the first surface 11, the base 1 is provided with an avoidance hole 12 that passes through the first surface 11 and the second surface, the fourth cylinder 51 is installed on the second surface, and the fourth clamping member 52 is partially penetrated through the avoidance hole 12. In this way, the fourth cylinder 51 can be prevented from blocking the welding of the welding gun c, so that the welding gun c can achieve the welding of the front frame b or the rear frame and the supporting bottom plate a at one time.
[0037] The frame to be welded is located in the X direction, so it can be considered as the front frame b or the rear frame. Before welding, the front frame b and the rear frame are both in abutment with the supporting bottom plate a, not connected. The front frame b and the rear frame are connected to the supporting bottom plate a respectively through welding process.
[0038] In order to improve the strength of the entire box, a crossbeam d is usually added to the supporting bottom plate a. The extension direction of the crossbeam d is generally from the left frame a2 to the frame direction, that is, it can be considered parallel to the Y direction (or considered along the Y direction). The crossbeam d is also installed on the supporting bottom plate a through a welding process. Therefore, the welding tool for the energy storage box also includes a fifth clamping mechanism 6 detachably mounted on the base 1, and the fourth positioning block 16 is provided with a protrusion 161. The fifth clamping mechanism 6 cooperates with the protrusion 161 to clamp the crossbeam d in the X direction.
[0039] Specifically, the fifth clamping mechanism 6 includes a fifth cylinder 61 and a fifth clamping member 62 connected to the output end of the fifth cylinder 61. The fifth cylinder 61 drives the fifth clamping member 62 to cooperate with the protrusion 161 to clamp the beam d in the X direction.
[0040] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the outside of the energy storage box is generally equipped with accessories such as hanging ears e, which facilitate the transportation and assembly of the energy storage box and other functions. Therefore, the welding tool for the energy storage box also includes a sixth clamping mechanism 7 detachably mounted on the base 1, and the sixth clamping mechanism 7 includes a sixth cylinder 71 and a clamping claw cylinder 72 connected to the output end of the sixth cylinder 71, and the clamping claw cylinder 72 is used to clamp the hanging ears e, and the sixth cylinder 71 is used to drive the clamping claw cylinder 72 to approach or move away from the supporting base plate a along the Y direction. The hanging ears e can include side hanging ears e and front and rear hanging ears e, etc. The sixth clamping mechanism 7 can clamp the hanging ears e and make the hanging ears e abut against the box body, and then weld the hanging ears e to the box body through a welding process.
[0041] like Figure 1 and 2 As shown, for the welding of the front hanging ear e, the sixth clamping mechanism 7 may further include a clamping mechanism 73, that is, after the sixth cylinder 71 and the clamping claw cylinder 72 clamp the front hanging ear e and make the front hanging ear e abut against the box body, the clamping mechanism 73 cooperates with the energy storage box to clamp the front hanging ear e from the Z direction, thereby playing a role in stabilizing and fixing the front hanging ear e. The clamping mechanism 73 may include a cylinder and a pressure block.
[0042] In this embodiment, the energy storage box welding tool further includes a seventh clamping mechanism 8 detachably mounted on the base 1, and the seventh clamping mechanism 8 cooperates with the first positioning block 13 to clamp the supporting base plate a in the Z direction; the first clamping mechanism 2 is located at both ends of the supporting base plate a along the X direction, and the seventh clamping mechanism 8 is located at both ends of the supporting base plate a along the Y direction. The seventh clamping mechanism 8 cooperates with the first clamping mechanism 2 to uniformly press or clamp the base plate body a1 to control the welding accuracy.
[0043] Specifically, the seventh clamping mechanism 8 includes a seventh cylinder 81 and a seventh clamping member 82 connected to an output end of the seventh cylinder 81 .
[0044] Preferably, a material-returning mechanism 9 is detachably mounted on the base 1, and the material-returning mechanism comprises a material-returning cylinder 91 and a push plate 92 connected to the output end of the material-returning cylinder 91. When the welding process is completed, the material-returning cylinder 91 drives the push plate 92 to move, and the push plate 92 can move the box body away from the base 1, so that the operator can take the box body out from under the tooling.
[0045] In the welding process, the tooling for welding the energy storage box of the utility model first cooperates with the welding of the supporting bottom plate a, the front frame b and the rear frame, and then cooperates with the welding process of small parts (crossbeam d, hanging ears e, etc.). For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the utility model is not limited to the details of the above-mentioned exemplary embodiments, and the utility model can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the utility model. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the utility model. Any figure mark in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
[0046] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described according to implementation modes, not every implementation mode contains only one independent technical solution. This description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment may also be appropriately combined to form other implementation modes that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
