[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of jigs, and more specifically, to a planar welding jig. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, welding jigs have been widely used in industry. They are auxiliary tools for fixing and supporting workpieces during the welding process and play a crucial role in the welding industry. Whether it is traditional welding processes or modern automated welding production lines, welding jigs play an important role. They can improve the efficiency and quality of welding production, reduce labor costs and improve work safety, and are indispensable important tools in modern industrial production. During common welding processes, defects such as metal oxidation, heat loss, and pores are likely to occur, and the occurrence of these defects seriously affects the quality of welding. However, a good jig can help reduce the formation of welding defects. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the problem of poor welding quality caused by defects such as metal oxidation, heat loss, and pores easily occurring during welding, and to provide a planar welding jig that can reduce welding defects, effectively ensure the quality and strength of the weld seam, and improve the stability and reliability of welding.

[0004] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0005] A planar welding jig, comprising

[0006] A support base, provided with a hollow cavity for installing and supporting various components, and an inflation groove for filling a protective gas is provided on the support base;

[0007] A pressing plate for pressing the workpiece to be welded, and the pressing plate is located above the support base;

[0008] A driving mechanism for driving the pressing plate to press or release the workpiece to be welded, and the driving mechanism is installed in the hollow cavity of the support base and is connected to the bottom of the pressing plate.

[0009] After the utility model uses the driving mechanism to drive the pressing plate to clamp the workpiece to be welded, a protective gas is filled into the workpiece to be welded from the inflation groove at the bottom of the workpiece to be welded, that is, a protective gas is filled into the back of the weld seam to exclude oxygen and other impurities in the air, thereby reducing the formation of defects such as metal oxidation, heat loss, and pores during welding, improving the stability and reliability of welding, and effectively ensuring the quality and strength of the weld seam.

[0010] Further, there are at least two pressing plates, which are respectively located on both sides of the inflation groove. A welding space is formed between the two pressing plates and above the inflation groove. The two pressing plates can be respectively used to press both sides of the workpiece to be welded, so as to expose the inflation groove, facilitating welding the workpiece to be welded from above.

[0011] Further, there are multiple driving mechanisms, and the driving mechanisms are evenly arranged on both sides of the bottom of each pressing plate. The driving mechanism is used to drive the pressing plate to move up and down. The top of the support seat provides a placement position for the workpiece to be welded, and the pressing plate presses the workpiece to be welded to achieve the clamping function of the workpiece. By arranging the driving mechanisms on both sides of the bottom of the pressing plate, the pressing plate can move more smoothly and the force is balanced during the up and down movement. Moreover, it can also make the pressing plate have a more reliable pressing effect on the workpiece to be welded. Of course, only one driving mechanism can also be set at the bottom of each pressing plate. In this case, preferably, the driving mechanism is set in the middle of the bottom of the pressing plate to facilitate the pressing plate to move more smoothly.

[0012] Further, it further includes a bottom plate, which is installed on the top of the support seat and arranged opposite to the pressing plate. The driving mechanism passes through the bottom plate and is connected to the pressing plate, and the inflation groove penetrates through the bottom plate. This utility model is used for planar welding. In order to ensure the flatness of the weld seam, usually, the surface of the bottom plate for placing the workpiece to be welded needs to be processed relatively flat. The workpiece to be welded is placed on the bottom plate for welding, thus replacing directly placing it on the top surface of the support seat for welding. This can relax the processing requirements for the top surface of the support seat. Since the bottom plate is a straight structure, thinner, and smaller in volume, it is easier to process. Therefore, the processing cost can be reduced, thereby reducing the welding cost, and at the same time, a better welding effect can be ensured.

[0013] Further, the pressing plate is provided with an inclined guiding structure on the side close to the inflation groove. The setting of the guiding structure can facilitate the welding torch to align with the weld seam, making the vision better during welding and improving the welding quality.

[0014] Further, it further includes a gas source, which is communicated with the inflation groove and used to provide a protective gas for the inflation groove.

[0015] Further, the driving mechanism is a cylinder, and also includes a reversing valve, a throttle valve, and a pressure reducing valve that are all connected to the cylinder. The cylinder is used to clamp the workpiece; the reversing valve is used to control the gas flow direction, specifically to realize the upward or downward movement of the pressure plate by controlling the gas flow direction, so that the workpiece to be welded can be pressed or loosened. Preferably, the reversing valve can adopt a two-position five-way hand-operated valve. The throttle valve is used to control the gas flow rate to ensure the normal operation of the driving mechanism while not wasting resources. The pressure reducing valve, also known as a safety valve, is a valve that adjusts the inlet pressure to a preset outlet pressure through its own mechanical components and relies on the energy of the medium itself to automatically maintain the stability of the outlet pressure. When clamping the workpiece to be welded, by adjusting the pressure of the compressed air, an accurate fixing effect can be achieved, which is applicable to workpieces of different sizes and shapes, improves the repeated clamping efficiency of the workpiece, and increases the application range and versatility of the fixture of the present utility model. Within the knowledge scope of those skilled in the art, the driving mechanism includes but is not limited to a structure using a cylinder, and can also be an electric cylinder, or other structures such as a lead screw nut transmission pair, a gear rack transmission pair, etc. to achieve driving.

[0016] Further, it also includes a fixing plate, the fixing plate is installed in the hollow cavity of the support seat, and the driving mechanism is installed on the fixing plate. The fixing plate is used to install and fix the driving mechanism.

[0017] Further, it also includes a plurality of handles, and the plurality of handles are respectively installed on the circumferential outer side of the support seat. The setting of the handles facilitates the movement of the support seat. When moving the support seat, the force can be applied to the handles. Preferably, there are at least two handles, and the two handles are respectively installed on both sides of the support seat; optimally, the support column is square, there are four handles, and the four handles are respectively installed near the four corners of the support seat.

[0018] Further, the shielding gas is an inert gas. Filling the inflation groove with an inert gas can reduce the formation of defects such as oxidized metal, heat loss, and pores, improve the stability and reliability of welding, and effectively ensure the quality and strength of the weld seam. Under normal temperature and pressure, the inert gas is a colorless and odorless monatomic gas, and it is difficult to carry out chemical reactions. Preferably, it is any one of helium, neon, argon, krypton, and xenon.

[0019] Further, the inflation groove is a strip structure. The length direction of the strip-shaped inflation groove is consistent with the weld seam to facilitate the protection of the weld seam.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are:

[0021] The utility model has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, the function of filling inert gas, convenient adjustment, and the advantages of flexible, convenient and efficient clamping. It is suitable for clamping workpieces in various welding equipment and can meet the welding requirements of a variety of general products. The utility model is connected by modules and integrates pneumatic control functions.
