Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a welding positioning device for a moving contact component of a contactor, belonging to the technical field of welding of contact components in the electrical industry. Background Art

[0002] The contact is the bridge and heart of the operation of the contactor. To a great extent, the welding quality determines the service life of the switch, and the most basic dimensions are also particularly important for the use of the contact. Usually, for the welding of such contacts, conventional tooling fixtures are used for positioning. In the welding of traditional such products, the fixture positions the left and right of the contact, and the front and back of the contact are positioned by the copper part steps of the contact bridge. The gap between the contact and the steps is not easy to control. For products with strict requirements for this dimension, the qualified rate is very low, which is not conducive to the mass production of products. According to the requirements of the product, it is necessary to optimize the tooling fixture to meet the characteristics of the product. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to overcome the disadvantages and deficiencies existing in the prior art, and to provide a welding positioning device for a static component of a contactor.

[0004] A welding positioning device for a moving contact component of a contactor includes a base. A first positioning mechanism for installing a contact bridge and a second positioning mechanism for welding contacts on the contact bridge are provided on the base. The first positioning mechanism includes a first positioning block fixedly arranged on the base for fixing the contact bridge. The second positioning mechanism includes second positioning blocks symmetrically and slidably arranged on the base. Positioning pins for clamping the contacts of the contact bridge are provided on the second positioning blocks. Upper and lower electrodes for welding are arranged on the upper and lower sides of the contact bridge. Through the first positioning mechanism and the second positioning mechanism, high-quality auxiliary positioning welding of the contact bridge and the contacts is carried out. The welding positioning accuracy is high, and the dimensional tolerance ranges such as the symmetry and center distance of the contacts after welding are ≤ 0.1 mm, meeting the welding dimension requirements. At the same time, the gap between the positioning step of the contact bridge and the contacts after welding is ≤ 0.07 mm, improving the product quality and welding efficiency. Through the automatic positioning and clamping mechanism, the steps and time of manual operation are reduced, the production process is accelerated, and the production efficiency is improved. The consistency and accuracy of the automatic operation also reduce the fluctuation of product quality and ensure the consistency of production.

[0005] Preferably, the second positioning mechanism further includes a cylinder fixedly arranged on the base. The cylinder is connected with a connecting block. The end of the connecting block is provided with movable connecting pieces respectively extending to both sides of the base. The end of the movable connecting piece is connected with the second positioning block, and is used to drive the second positioning block to slide on the base to adjust the position of the clamped contact bridge. The cylinder, as a driving element, can provide stable power output. Through the linkage of the connecting block, the movable connecting piece and the second positioning block, the precise movement of the second positioning block is realized. This design enables fine adjustment according to the size and position of the contact bridge when clamping the contact bridge, ensures that the contact bridge is accurately positioned, and improves the assembly accuracy.

[0006] Furthermore, a first groove is provided on the second positioning block. A positioning connecting piece is fixed in the first groove. A second groove is provided on the positioning connecting piece, and the positioning pin is fixedly installed in the second groove.

[0007] Preferably, the positioning pin is provided with a positioning step for cooperating with the contact bridge and the contact point for positioning.

The positioning step helps to maintain the stability of its position during the contact point welding process, ensures the correct relative position between the contact point and the contact bridge during welding, is beneficial to optimizing the welding process parameters, improving the welding quality, and reducing welding defects.

[0008] Preferably, a fixing block is provided on the outer side of the second positioning block. A positioning bolt is adjustably arranged on the fixing block.

[0012] Furthermore, positioning holes are provided on the bridge, and positioning pins matching the positioning holes are provided in the profiling cavity for positioning and installing the bridge.
