Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flexible disk manufacturing fixtures, in particular to a welding fixture for a flexible disk assembly gear ring. Background Art
[0002] The flexible disk connects the engine crankshaft and the torque converter. The flexible disk has a certain degree of rigidity and flexibility. It can absorb the impact of the torque converter on the engine by its own deformation during the torque transmission process. The patent document with publication number CN203962908U discloses a flexible disk to solve the problem that the traditional flexible disk has a complex manufacturing process, which makes the cost high, and is easy to crack during use. In addition, the distance between the transmission and the engine is close, which is prone to danger. The flexible disk comprises: a circular tray with two annular surfaces, two circular gaskets located in the center of the tray, and a circular gear ring located at the edge of the tray and meshing with the starter gear ring; the two circular gaskets comprise a first annular gasket arranged on the first annular surface of the tray contacting the engine crankshaft, and a second annular gasket arranged on the second annular surface of the tray; the first gasket and the second gasket are both provided with a plurality of first mounting holes for fixing the flexible disk on the engine crankshaft, and the first mounting holes pass through the first gasket, the tray, and the second gasket; the tray is evenly distributed with a plurality of protrusions on the circumference close to the gear ring, and each protrusion is provided with a second mounting hole for fixing the flexible disk on the torque converter on the transmission side.

However, the existing tray and gear ring argon arc welding process mostly uses manual clamping. When the gear ring is deformed by heat, it is easy to cause uneven clamping due to its deformation, resulting in excessive vibration of the finished gear ring of the welded flexible disk, affecting the performance of the flexible disk.

[0039] Brief description of the usage process:
[0040] When in use, an external pneumatic control mechanism is connected to all the second cylinders 71 and the first cylinder 4, and the external pneumatic control mechanism is used to control the extension of all the second cylinders 71 and the first cylinder 4. The pressing plate 6 is removed by passing the special-shaped hole 63 through the special-shaped block 54, and then the pallet 10 to be welded is concentrically embedded on the center positioning tube 3 to complete the positioning of the pallet 10 in a center positioning manner. At this time, the outer edge pad 2 supports the outer edge and non-outer edge part of the pallet 10.

After the first cylinder 4 completes the contraction, it drives the connecting column 51 to descend, and the special-shaped block 54 on the connecting column 51 presses the pressure plate 6 downward, and then the tray 10 is pressed and fixed by the pressure plate 6.
[0042] The gear ring 11 is then embedded on the outer diameter of the tray 10, and the outer edge pad 2 is used to support the gear ring 11; then the external pneumatic control mechanism is used to control all the second cylinders 71 to shorten synchronously, and the telescopic end of the second cylinder 71 drives the long rod bolt 74 and the pressure block 75 to descend as a whole through the connecting beam 72, and then the gear ring 11 is pressed and fixed by the pressure block 75, thereby completing the relative fixation of the tray 10 and the gear ring 11.
[0043] Then, the entirety of the utility model clamping the tray 10 and the gear ring 11 can be placed on a welding platform with the fixing seat 8 as the bottom surface, and then the contact parts of the tray 10 and the gear ring 11 can be uniformly welded by a welding robot.
[0044] After welding is completed, the external pneumatic control mechanism is used to control all the second cylinders 71 and the first cylinder 4 to extend, the second cylinder 71 releases the pressure on the ring gear 11, and the first cylinder 4 releases the pressure on the pallet 10, and then the pressure plate 6 is rotated as a whole so that the horizontal plane projection contours of the special-shaped block 54 and the special-shaped hole 63 are consistent, and then the pressure plate 6 is removed in a way that the special-shaped hole 63 passes through the special-shaped block 54, and then the flexible disk assembly formed by the welded pallet 10 and ring gear 11 can be removed as a whole.
[0045] When it is necessary to weld gear rings 11 of different thicknesses, the first clamping nut 76 can be loosened, the long rod bolt 74 can be rotated upward or downward, and then the pressing thickness of the pressure block 75 below the long rod bolt 74 can be adaptively adjusted according to the thickness of the gear ring 11. After the adjustment, the first clamping nut 76 is re-tightened to clamp and fix the connecting beam 72 and the long rod bolt 74; when it is necessary to weld different pallets 10, similarly, the screw bolt 55 is rotated by a wrench to drive the threaded section 52 on the connecting column 51 to move upward or downward on the telescopic end of the first cylinder 4, thereby adjusting the overall height of the connecting column 51, and then adjusting the height of the bottom surface of the special-shaped block 54 on the connecting column 51 so that the pressing thickness of the special-shaped block 54 is consistent with the total thickness of the new pallet 10 and the pressure plate 6.
