Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to an automobile component welding fixture, in particular to an automobile component welding fixture with nut positioning and error-leakage prevention. Background Art

[0002] When further processing is performed on the stamped parts, it is often necessary to perform welding operations on the stamped parts according to actual production needs, fix the stamped parts on a welding fixture, weld the parts by welding, and process the parts into the required state. When welding the stamped parts, since the stamped parts are often stacked, during the welding process, the operator is likely to take two parts and place them on the welding fixture for welding, resulting in incorrect welding of parts and multiple welding, and the parts that are incorrectly welded or missed welding will be unusable, resulting in waste of parts. Publication number: CN218775948U A device for preventing incorrect welding or missed welding on a welding fixture, comprising a welding fixture base, a laser ranging sensor, a fixing bracket and a limiting mechanism, wherein the welding fixture base is directly placed on the ground, the laser ranging sensor is fixed to the middle of the mounting bracket by bolts, and the right end of the mounting bracket is fixedly connected to a movable column with a cylindrical structure, the fixing bracket is connected to the welding fixing column by a sliding manner, and the fixing bracket drives the laser ranging sensor to form a lifting structure above the welding fixture base, and the limiting mechanism is arranged on the right side of the connecting bracket. The error-proofing device on the welding fixture cannot perform welding when the laser distance sensor does not detect a signal, and the workstation prompts an error alarm, thereby effectively preventing error-proofing and missing welding. The above-mentioned error-proofing device has a simple structure and is not suitable for application in large and complex mold assemblies.

[0003] Numerous accessories need to be installed in the body-in-white (BIW) system of an automobile. To accommodate the installation of these accessories and other systems, the prior art employs a large number of projection weld nuts installed on the BIW as connectors. Conventional projection weld nuts are often welded manually. Automated welding requires expensive equipment, and automated equipment often requires specialized production lines, making it impractical for widespread use. Therefore, manual welding remains the primary method. During manual projection weld nut welding, manual placement of the nut can lead to missed welds or incorrectly placed legs due to operator error. To address missed welds, conventional fixtures utilize a detection mechanism that combines a proximity switch with a programmable logic controller (PLC) signal. When the proximity switch detects a projection weld nut, it outputs a signal to the PLC, which determines whether the next step can be taken. Publication No.: CN220445482U A device for preventing missed projection weld nuts includes a fixture body having a circular loading slot, a coaxial positioning column in the middle of the loading slot, an annular support ring within the loading slot, and a proximity switch located at the bottom of the loading slot, inside the support ring.

[0004] The aforementioned device for preventing leakage of projection welding nuts also has the disadvantage of being simple in structure and not suitable for application in large and complex mold assemblies. Utility Model Content
