[0003] At present, there is a flipping clamping and fixing device for welding automobile parts (such as publication number CN115446530A). The first clamping mechanism and the second clamping mechanism are driven by a linear drive motor. The linear drive motor drives the clamping pressure plate to quickly press the automobile weldment body, thereby realizing rapid clamping and fixing of the automobile weldment body. After the clamping and fixing are completed, the automobile weldment body can be welded.

[0030] In order to make the purpose, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the technical scheme of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below in combination with the drawings in the specific embodiment. Obviously, the embodiments described below are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of them. Based on the embodiments in this patent, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this patent.
[0031] In a typical implementation of the present invention, Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, a welding clamping tool for a car body heater support is proposed, comprising: a base 1, a flipping mechanism 2, a clamping mechanism 3 and a reset mechanism 4, wherein the flipping mechanism 2 comprises a rotating shaft 23 and two relatively arranged positioning plates 21; the rotating shaft 23 is laterally rotatably arranged on the base 1, and the two positioning plates 21 are relatively fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 23; the clamping mechanism 3 and the reset mechanism 4 are both fixedly installed on the rotating shaft 21, and the clamping mechanism 3 is located between the two positioning plates 21; the two ends of the clamping mechanism 3 can move laterally to cooperate with the adjacent positioning plates 21 to achieve clamping and fixing of the sheet metal.
[0032] Specifically, the base 1 includes a support plate 11, a flip limit bolt 12 and a bottom plate 13. There are two support plates 11, the two support plates 11 are arranged opposite to each other and are fixed on the bottom plate 13 by welding, bolting, etc., so as to form a U-shaped support base structure together with the bottom plate 13. There are two flip limit bolts 12, and they correspond one to one with the support plates 11, that is, each support plate 11 is threadedly connected with a flip limit bolt 12, and the support plate 11 is provided with a bolt hole threadedly connected to the flip limit bolt 12.
[0033] The flipping mechanism 2 also includes a ball bearing 22, and a ball bearing 22 is fixedly installed at both ends of the rotating shaft 23. The rotating shaft 23 is horizontally arranged between the two support plates 11, and the axis of the rotating shaft 23 is parallel to the bottom plate 13. Both ends of the rotating shaft 23 are rotatably connected to the support plate 11 through the ball bearings 22, and the ball bearings 22 are embedded in the support plate 11; the positioning plate 21 is designed according to the shape of the workpiece and can be positioned according to the shape of the workpiece. In this embodiment, the positioning plate 21 is a convex structure, and the positioning plate 21 is parallel to the plane of the support plate 11.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, a limiting groove 24 is provided on the positioning plate 21, and the limiting groove 24 is an arc-shaped structure. The flip limiting bolt 12 passes through the limiting groove 24, so that the flipping angle of the positioning plate 21 can be limited by the cooperation of the limiting groove 24 and the flip limiting bolt 12. The position of the positioning plate 21 can be fixed by tightening the flip limiting bolt 12, which not only facilitates flip welding, but also ensures the flip positioning accuracy.
[0035] The clamping mechanism 3 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 37. The clamping mechanism 3 is horizontally fixedly mounted on the rotating shaft 23 through the fixing plate 37. The fixing plate 37 and the rotating shaft 23 can be fixedly connected by a connecting plate or other structure, such as Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism 3 includes a driving unit and a push rod 33. Two push rods 33 are provided. The two push rods 33 are relatively arranged on both sides of the driving unit. The axes of the two push rods 33 coincide with each other, so that the driving unit drives the two push rods 33 to perform synchronous telescopic movements, and then the push rods 33 cooperate with the adjacent positioning plates 21 to achieve clamping and fixing of the sheet metal.
[0036] Specifically, the driving unit includes a driving wheel 31 and a handle 32. The driving wheel 31 is an elliptical structure with a short side and a long side. The handle 31 is fixedly installed at the center position of the driving wheel 31. The driving wheel 31 is rotatably arranged at the center position of the fixed plate 37 through a rotating shaft, so that the driving wheel 31 can be driven to rotate around the axis by the handle 32, and then the driving wheel 31 can be used to drive the push rod 33 to move.
[0037] A pressure head 36 is fixedly provided at one end of the push rod 33 away from the driving wheel 31 , and a clamping groove is provided at one end of the push rod 33 close to the driving wheel 31 , so as to cooperate with the driving wheel 31 through the clamping groove to ensure effective contact between the driving wheel 31 and the push rod 33 .
[0038] Each push rod 33 is connected to a corresponding reset mechanism 4, so that when the short side of the driving wheel 31 is parallel to the push rod 33, the push rod 33 can reset itself under the action of the reset mechanism 4 to cancel the clamping of the sheet metal.
[0039] Specifically, the reset mechanism 4 includes a fixing seat 41, a bushing 42 and a spring 43. The fixing seat 41 is fixedly mounted on the fixing plate 37 by bolts. Both ends of the push rod 33 pass through the fixing seat 41. The bushing 42 is sleeved at the position where the push rod 33 contacts the fixing seat 41 to reduce the wear between the push rod 33 and the fixing seat 41.
[0040] A spring 43 is also sleeved on the push rod 33, and a cotter pin 34 and a flat washer 35 are installed on the push rod 33. The cotter pin 34 and the flat washer 35 are located between the spring 43 and the driving wheel 31 to compress the spring 43 when clamping the sheet metal. When the sheet metal is released, the spring 43 drives the push rod 33 to reset.
[0041] The specific working principle is:
[0042] Step 1: After the base 1 is stabilized, the handle 32 is rotated to rotate the short side of the driving wheel 31 to be parallel to the top rod 33, driving the pressure head 36 away from the corresponding positioning plate 21. At this time, the two side pieces of the heater support are placed on the positioning plate 21, and then the integrally stamped support front piece and top piece are placed in;
[0043] Step 2: Rotate the handle 32 to rotate the long side of the driving wheel 31 to be parallel to the ejector rod 33, drive the pressing head 36 to press the workpiece, and perform welding according to the process requirements;
[0044] Step 3: After the top plate is welded, the clamped workpiece is turned over 90° by the rotating shaft 23, and the turning limit bolt 12 is tightened to limit the positioning plate 21, and the front plate is welded according to the process requirements;
[0045] Step 4: After all welding is completed, loosen the flip limit bolt 12 to reset the positioning plate 21, rotate the handle 32 to rotate the short side of the driving wheel 31 to be parallel to the push rod 33. At this time, the push rod 33 is reset under the action of the spring 43 in the reset mechanism 4, driving the pressure head 36 away from the corresponding positioning plate 21, remove the workpiece, and complete the entire welding process.
[0046] The setting of the push rod 33 makes it occupy less space and can be effectively adapted to the internal space of the heater support, does not block the welding area and effectively ensures that the welding clamp passage is unobstructed. The driving wheel 31 can drive the push rod 33 to clamp the two sheet metal parts synchronously. During welding, the integrally stamped support front plate and the top plate can be manually placed between the two positioned sheet metal parts, which is convenient for positioning with high positioning accuracy, effectively ensuring work efficiency and quality. In addition, the setting of the flipping mechanism can facilitate the adjustment of the angle during the welding process, and the flipping angle can be quickly adjusted and positioned according to needs, and the welding of the heater support can be completed in one clamping, which facilitates welding and reduces labor intensity.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
