[0038] The embodiments of the present invention are written in a progressive manner.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a friction stir welding auxiliary device includes a base plate 100, four vertical legs 200 installed on the base plate 100, four cross beams 300 connected in sequence to the tops of the vertical legs 200, four first connecting members 410 installed at the lower part of the legs 200, four second connecting members 420 installed at the upper part of the legs 200, four third connecting members 430 installed at the sides of the cross beam 300, two first pressing plates 510 connected to the first connecting members 410, two second pressing plates 520 connected to the second connecting members 420, and two third pressing plates 530 connected to the third connecting members 430.

[0040] The friction stir welding auxiliary device of the utility model is suitable for the friction stir welding operation of two welding pieces 710 with arc-shaped concave plates and a flat welding piece 720. The two welding pieces 710 with arc-shaped concave plates are respectively welded on both sides of the flat welding piece 720. Due to the special shape of the welding piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate, it is not easy to fix it by ordinary limiting methods and it is easy to deform. The friction stir welding auxiliary device of the utility model is installed on the welding base to fix the welding piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate on the side. 0 and a flat plate, the tops of the four legs 200 of the friction stir welding auxiliary device are connected in sequence through the cross beams 300 to form a hexagonal frame, the concave surface of the welded piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate is facing one of the cross beams 300, the welding side of the welded piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate is placed on the cross beam 300 and compacted by the third pressing plate 530, and then the third pressing plate 530 is fixedly connected to the third connecting member 430, and the non-welding side of the welded piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate is connected by the second pressing plate 520 and the first pressing plate 5 10, and then the second pressing plate 520 is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 420, the first pressing plate 510 is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 410, the first pressing plate 510, the second pressing plate 520 and the third pressing plate 530 are respectively fixedly connected to the first connecting member 410, the second connecting member 420 and the third connecting member 430. The welding piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate material is fixed to the stir friction welding auxiliary device, and then one side welding surface of the flat welding piece 720 is closely contacted with the welding side of the welding piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate material, and then the other side is fixedly connected to the welding piece 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate material. The welding side of the welded part 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate material is in close contact with the welding surface of the other side of the flat welded part 720, and at the same time, another third pressing plate 530 is compacted and then fixed on the third connecting member 430, which is consistent with the fixing method of the first piece with the arc-shaped concave plate material. The first pressing plate 510, the second pressing plate 520 and the third pressing plate 530 of the other piece are respectively fixedly connected with the first connecting member 410, the second connecting member 420 and the third connecting member 430 to fix the welded part 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate material on the friction stir welding auxiliary device. At this time, the position fixation of the two welded parts 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate materials and the flat welded part 720 is completed, which is convenient for friction stir welding. The use of the friction stir welding auxiliary device of the utility model to fix the welded parts can realize the friction stir welding positioning of special welded parts and the size control of the welding process, especially it can assist a single person to conveniently and quickly operate the positioning without a check fixture, a measuring tool, and an auxiliary line, while ensuring the size is qualified.

[0041] The friction stir welding auxiliary device of the present invention also includes a first pad 610 installed on the outside of the support leg 200. Since the connection between the welding side and the non-welding side of the welded part 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate is a concave design, when the welding side of the welded part 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate is in contact with the top of the beam 300, the non-welding side of the welded part 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate is still a certain distance from the support leg 200. At this time, the first pad 610 abuts between the non-welding side of the welded part 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate and the support leg 200, so that the welded part 710 with the arc-shaped concave plate can be more stably fixed on the friction stir welding auxiliary device.

[0042] The cross beam 300 of the friction stir welding auxiliary device of the present invention is also provided with a trapezoidal second pad 620. Since the connection between the welding side and the non-welding side of the welded part 710 with an arc-shaped concave plate is a concave design, there will be a certain gap on the contact surface of the cross beam 300 at the concave connection. At this time, the second trapezoidal pad 620 can better support the welded part 710 with an arc-shaped concave plate, so that the welded part 710 with an arc-shaped concave plate can be more stably fixed on the friction stir welding auxiliary device.

[0043] As an optional implementation, the first connecting member 410 of the present invention is provided with a screw hole, and the first pressing plate 510 presses the weldment onto the friction stir welding auxiliary device and is connected to the first connecting member 410 by bolts.

[0044] The second connecting member 420 is provided with a screw hole, and the second pressing plate 520 presses the weldment onto the friction stir welding auxiliary device and is installed and connected to the second connecting member 420 via bolts.

[0045] The third connecting member 430 is provided with a screw hole, and the third pressing plate 530 presses the weldment onto the friction stir welding auxiliary device and is installed and connected to the third connecting member 430 by bolts.

[0046] During operation, the weldment is first pressed onto the crossbeam 300 of the friction stir welding auxiliary device, and then the third pressing plate 530 is pressed onto the surface of the weldment, and then the third pressing plate 530 is fixedly connected to the third connecting member 430 by bolts, and at the same time, the second pressing plate 520 and the first pressing plate 510 are pressed onto the surface of the weldment, and then the second pressing plate 520 is fixedly connected to the second connecting member 420 by bolts, and the first pressing plate 510 is fixedly connected to the first connecting member 410, so that the weldment can be fixed on the friction stir welding auxiliary device.

[0047] As an optional implementation, the bottom of the support leg 200 of the present invention is welded to the base plate 100, and can also be fixed to the base plate 100 in other ways.

[0048] As an optional implementation, the crossbeam 300 of the present invention is welded to the supporting leg 200, and can also be fixed to the top of the supporting leg 200 in other ways.

[0049] As an optional implementation, the base plate 100 of the present invention is clamped on the welding base, and can also be fixed on the welding base in other detachable ways.

[0050] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. 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.
