Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding tooling, in particular to a welding tooling for manufacturing upper and lower boxes of a UAV launch box. Background Art

[0002] Currently, conventional drone launch boxes are mainly used for drone launches. When in use, the drone equipment is installed inside the launch box. The drone's own adaptive structure fits tightly with the slide inside the launch box to achieve fixed and sliding functions. Therefore, there are high precision requirements for the shape and position dimensions of this type of launch box.

[0003] UAV launch boxes are typically assembled from two welded aluminum alloy components. Conventional welding fixtures separate the upper and lower boxes for front and back welding. After the first weld is complete, the fixture clamping device must be removed. An overhead crane is then used to lift the workpiece and perform a 360° flip. After the flip is complete, the workpiece is dropped into the reverse process fixture for reassembly and clamping before welding the reverse weld.

[0004] Therefore, the above-mentioned prior art has at least the following defects: since the traditional welding tooling needs to be clamped and turned over multiple times, the production efficiency is low, and the secondary clamping is prone to introduce new errors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The embodiment of the present application solves the technical problem of low production efficiency in the welding of the upper and lower boxes of the drone launch box in the prior art by providing a welding tool for the manufacture of the upper and lower boxes of the drone launch box, and reduces the production time and welding deformation caused by processes such as clamping, disassembly, and flipping.

[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions: a welding tool for manufacturing the upper and lower boxes of a drone launch box, including a tool support frame and a main body pallet, a rotating shaft is symmetrically arranged in the middle of both sides of the main body pallet, and the rotating shaft is rotatably installed on the tool support frame; the main body pallet includes a bracket structure and a clamping structure, wherein a lower surface support plate is fixed on the bracket structure, and an upper surface support plate is fixed on the clamping structure, the two sides of the clamping structure and the two sides of the bracket structure can be fixed by bolts, and the rotating shaft is fixedly installed on both sides of the bracket structure.

[0007] When this tool is in use, the aluminum alloy profile to be welded is placed on the bracket structure and clamped down by the clamping structure. Welding then proceeds to the front side. Because the main tray has two symmetrical pivots located in the middle of each side, the main tray and workpiece can be flipped over. After flipping, welding can continue on the reverse side of the workpiece. This process eliminates the need for secondary clamping, improving production efficiency while reducing the time and welding distortion associated with clamping, disassembly, and flipping.

[0008] Furthermore, the tooling support frame includes four supporting legs, the bottoms of the two supporting legs located on the same side are connected to a connecting beam, the tops of the two supporting legs located on the same side are connected to a supporting beam, a semicircular groove is provided in the middle of the supporting beam, a rotating sleeve is fixed in the groove, and the rotating sleeve is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft.

[0009] Furthermore, the bracket structure includes two bracket beams, a plurality of bracket longitudinal beams are connected between the two pallet beams, and the rotating shaft is fixed in the middle of the pallet beam; thus, the bracket structure can be flipped by cooperating with the rotating shaft and the rotating sleeve.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two lower surface support plates are fixed on each bracket longitudinal beam, and the lower surface support plates include support steel plates and support aluminum plates. The support steel plates are welded and fixed to the bracket longitudinal beams, and the support aluminum plates are fixed to the support steel plates by bolts.

[0011] Furthermore, the compression structure includes a plurality of compression longitudinal beams arranged side by side, each compression longitudinal beam is fixed with at least two upper surface support plates, and the positions of the upper surface support plates correspond one to one with the positions of the lower surface support plates.

[0012] Furthermore, upper nuts are fixed at both ends of the clamping longitudinal beam, and correspondingly, lower nuts are fixed on the bracket cross beam, and the upper nuts and the lower nuts can be connected by bolts; thereby, the clamping structure and the bracket structure can be fixed, and the workpiece clamped in the main pallet can be clamped by tightening the bolts.

[0013] Furthermore, a transverse positioning mechanism and a longitudinal positioning mechanism are fixed on the bracket structure; thereby, the longitudinal deformation problem of the welded product caused by position offset during the welding process can be effectively avoided.

[0014] It can be seen from the above technical solutions that the present invention has at least the following technical effects or advantages:

[0015] When this tool is in use, the aluminum alloy profile to be welded is placed on the bracket structure and clamped down by the clamping structure. Welding then proceeds to the front side. Because the main tray has two symmetrical pivots located in the middle of each side, the main tray and workpiece can be flipped over. After flipping, welding can continue on the reverse side of the workpiece. This process eliminates the need for secondary clamping, improving production efficiency while reducing the time and welding distortion associated with clamping, disassembly, and flipping.

[0025] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this patent, other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are all within the scope of protection of this patent.

[0026] The utility model discloses a welding tool for manufacturing the upper and lower boxes of a drone launch box, which includes a tool support frame 1 and a main body pallet, wherein the tool support frame 1 is supported below the main body pallet, and the main body pallet can be flipped relative to the tool support frame 1. The main body pallet includes a bracket structure 2 and a clamping structure 3, wherein a lower surface support plate 4 is fixed on the bracket structure 2, and an upper surface support plate 5 is fixed on the clamping structure 3, and both sides of the clamping structure 3 and both sides of the bracket structure 2 can be fixed by bolts. In one example, the aluminum alloy profile to be welded can be clamped between the bracket structure 2 and the clamping structure 3, and clamped by the upper surface support plate 5 and the lower surface support plate 4; after welding one side, the main body pallet is flipped over, and then the other side is welded.

[0027] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the tool support frame 1 includes four support legs 6, and the bottom of the support legs 6 are fixed with plate-shaped support feet. The two support legs 6 on the same side are connected to the bottom with a connecting beam 7, and the top is connected to a supporting beam 8. The length of the supporting beam 8 is less than the length of the connecting beam 7, so that the two support legs 6 on the same side are distributed in a narrow upper part and wide lower part, thereby increasing the stability of the tool support frame 1. The top of the supporting beam 8 is provided with a semicircular groove, which can cooperate with the two sides of the main tray through the groove to achieve the flipping of the main tray. In addition, the tool support frame 1 also includes a fixed frame 9, which is obliquely supported on one of the support legs 6. A slide bar 901 is installed on the upper end of the fixed frame 9 for horizontal sliding. When the main tray is flipped, the slide bar 901 is adjusted to be pulled out relative to the fixed frame 9, and the slide bar 901 can be supported under the main tray.

[0028] like Figure 3 As shown, the bracket structure 2 includes a bracket crossbeam 10 and a bracket longitudinal beam 11. Two bracket crossbeams 10 are provided, and multiple bracket longitudinal beams 11 are provided. Multiple bracket longitudinal beams 11 are arranged between two bracket crossbeams 10, wherein both ends of the bracket longitudinal beam 11 are fixed to the bracket crossbeam 10. Specifically, a rotating shaft can be fixed in the middle of the two bracket crossbeams 10. Correspondingly, a rotating sleeve is fixed in the groove of the support crossbeam 8. The rotating shaft is located in the rotating sleeve, thereby realizing the rotational connection between the bracket crossbeam 10 and the support crossbeam 8.

[0029] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 7 As shown, at least two lower surface support plates 4 are fixed on each bracket longitudinal beam 11, and the lower surface support plates include a support steel plate 401 and a support aluminum plate 402, wherein the support steel plate 401 is welded and fixed to the bracket longitudinal beam 11, and the support aluminum plate 402 is fixed to the support steel plate 401 by bolts.

[0030] In addition, a transverse positioning mechanism 12 and a longitudinal positioning mechanism 13 are fixed to the bracket structure 2. Figure 4 、 Figure 5 As shown, the transverse positioning mechanism 12 is fixed to the two bracket longitudinal beams 11 at the left and right ends of the bracket structure 2. The transverse positioning mechanism 12 includes a support plate, the lower end of the support plate is welded and fixed to the bracket structure 2, the upper end of the support plate is welded and fixed with a transverse end positioning steel plate 14, and the side of the transverse end positioning steel plate 14 is fixed with a transverse end positioning aluminum plate 15 by bolts. The longitudinal positioning mechanism 13 includes a longitudinal end positioning steel plate 16 and a longitudinal end positioning aluminum plate 17, wherein the longitudinal end positioning steel plate 16 can be welded and fixed to the bracket crossbeam 10, and the longitudinal end positioning aluminum plate 17 is fixed to the longitudinal end positioning steel plate 16 by bolts. When the aluminum alloy profile to be welded is clamped, the aluminum alloy profile can be kept fixed by tightening the edges of the aluminum alloy profile through the transverse positioning mechanism 12 and the longitudinal positioning mechanism 13.

[0031] like Figure 1 、 Figure 6 As shown, the compression structure 3 includes a plurality of compression longitudinal beams arranged side by side, and a plurality of upper surface support plates 5 are fixed to the bottom of each compression longitudinal beam. The positions of the upper surface support plates 5 correspond to the positions of the lower surface support plates 4, that is, the corresponding upper surface support plates 5 are located above the corresponding lower surface support plates 4. In this way, when the aluminum alloy profile is clamped, the flatness of its surface can be guaranteed.

[0032] In addition, upper nuts 18 are fixed to both ends of each compression longitudinal beam, and correspondingly, lower nuts 19 are fixed to the bracket crossbeam 10 , and the upper nuts 18 and the lower nuts 19 can be connected by bolts.

[0033] When using this tool:

[0034] 1. Place the aluminum alloy profiles to be welded on the bracket structure 2 and position them using the transverse positioning mechanism 12 and the longitudinal positioning mechanism 13. Each bracket longitudinal beam 11 is correspondingly placed with an aluminum alloy profile.

[0035] 2. Install the clamping structure 3, fix the clamping structure 3 to the bracket structure 2 with bolts, apply appropriate downward pressure, and then perform front welding;

[0036] 3. After the front welding is completed, the main tray and the workpiece are flipped over by the rotating shaft. After the flip is completed, the welding of the reverse weld of the workpiece is continued. Moreover, since the workpiece is always fixed by the clamping structure during the flipping process, there is no need for secondary clamping, which reduces the production time and welding deformation caused by the clamping, disassembly, flipping and other processes.
