It should be understood that the specific embodiments described here are only used to explain the utility model and are not used to limit the utility model.

[0026] In order to solve the technical problem of how to quickly switch the clamps during the arc welding process, the utility model provides a quick-change tooling for arc welding clamps, which can realize the quick switching of the clamps during the arc welding process.

[0027] It should be noted that the quick-change fixture of the arc welding fixture described in the utility model is used for but not limited to the clamping and switching of vehicle workpieces. For the convenience of explanation, in the utility model, only the quick-change fixture of the arc welding fixture is used for the clamping and switching of vehicle workpieces as an example for explanation. The principle of the quick-change fixture of the arc welding fixture being used in other types of equipment is essentially the same as the principle applied to the clamping and switching of vehicle workpieces, and will not be elaborated here.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the structure of the quick-change fixture of the arc welding fixture in one embodiment of the utility model is as follows. The quick-change fixture of the arc welding fixture comprises a base 1, a first fixture fixture 2, a flip mechanism 3 and a second fixture fixture 4; the first fixture fixture 2 is used for clamping a vehicle workpiece, that is, Figure 1The first workpiece 6 in the turning mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 1, and the movable end thereof is provided with a pressing arm 301 for turning the pressing arm 301, the pressing arm 301 having a position state pressed on the top of the first fixture tooling 2, and a position state out of the top of the first fixture tooling 2, which can be respectively referred to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 The pressing arm 301 is in a position state away from the top of the first fixture 2. Figure 3 The pressure arm 301 is in the position state where it is pressed on the top of the first fixture 2; the second fixture 4 is arranged on the pressure arm 301 and is used to clamp another type of workpiece when the pressure arm 301 is pressed on the top of the first fixture 2, that is, Figure 3 The second workpiece 7 in.

[0029] In this embodiment, when it is necessary to weld the second workpiece 7, the first workpiece 6 below is fully clamped by the first fixture 2, and the pressure arm 301 is lowered by the flip mechanism 3. When the pressure arm 301 is pressed on the top of the first fixture 2, the second workpiece 7 is clamped by the second fixture 4 and welding can be carried out. For example, a sleeve can be welded on the workpiece, which has a quick switching effect and does not require manual tightening of screws and frequent adjustment of the welding trajectory. When the first workpiece 6 is selected to be welded, the pressure arm 301 is lifted and opened to be separated from the top of the first fixture 2, and the welding operation on the first workpiece 6 can be carried out.

[0030] It can be understood that when the pressure arm 301 is in a position state pressing on the top of the first fixture 2, its opening angle is 0 degrees, and when the pressure arm 301 is out of a position state of the top of the first fixture 2, its opening angle is 105 degrees, so as to facilitate welding of the first workpiece 6 product below.

[0031] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The first fixture 2 includes a positioning seat 21 and a clamping mechanism 22. The positioning seat 21 is installed on the top of the base 1 and is used to insert and position the workpiece of the corresponding vehicle model. The positioning seat 21 is provided with positioning units such as bosses according to the shape of the corresponding workpiece. The workpiece is inserted between the various positioning units to form a position positioning. After positioning, it is clamped by the clamping mechanism 22 to form a stable clamping. Several clamping mechanisms 22 are arranged on the top of the base 1 to clamp the workpiece of the corresponding vehicle model for insertion and positioning. The number of clamping mechanisms 22 can be set according to the requirements of different workpiece shapes.

[0032] In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 22 may be a combination of a cylinder and a pressure plate. The cylinder can be extended and retracted to drive the pressure plate to flip. The extension and retraction of the cylinder drives the pressure plate to flip, thereby clamping the top of the workpiece.

[0033] It is understandable that the clamping mechanism 22 may also adopt other clamping structures commonly used in the art to achieve the purpose of clamping, and this is not a sole limitation herein.

The clamping member 43 is arranged on one side of the base plate 41 for flipping and clamping another type of workpiece.

[0037] In this embodiment, when the pressing arm 301 is placed horizontally, the second workpieces 7 are placed one by one on the sockets 42 and then clamped by the clamping member 43 .

[0038] Furthermore, the clamping member 43 includes a cylinder push rod 431, an extension frame 432, a frame body 433 and a pressure block 434.

Several pressure blocks 434 are arranged on the frame body 433 in a one-to-one correspondence with the socket 42. Through the extension and retraction of a cylinder push rod 431, the frame body 433 is driven to flip over, and multiple pressure blocks 434 are pressed down at the same time, so that the second workpiece 7 located on the socket 42 is pressed tightly to form a clamping positioning.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figure 1In order to limit and support the depressed position of the pressing arm 301 , a plurality of pads 201 are provided on the top of the first fixture 2 to support the bottom of the depressed pressing arm 301 .

[0040] Furthermore, a groove is formed on the cushion block 201 , and the width of the groove matches the width of the pressing arm 301 . When the pressing arm 301 is pressed down, it is inserted into the groove to form a limit and support.

[0041] In one embodiment, see Figure 2 A limit rod 401 is provided on the frame 433, and a limit seat 402 corresponding to the limit rod 401 is provided on the base plate 41. After flipping, the limit rod 401 is pressed onto the top of the limit seat 402, thereby limiting and positioning the flipping range of the frame 433.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 The base 1 is provided with a plurality of lifting rings 101, which facilitates the lifting of the base 1 and the transfer of the entire quick-change tooling.

[0043] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , and also includes a base frame 5, on which the base 1 is detachably arranged, and the height position of the base 1 can be adjusted to facilitate operation by workers.
