Therefore, it is urgent for those skilled in the art to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to address the deficiencies of the above-mentioned existing technologies and provide a double-station welding fixture. The double-station welding fixture fixes the workpiece on the mounting plate by vertically setting the mounting plate so that the worker can stand to process the parts, and the workpiece can be positioned and fixed on both sides of the mounting plate, thereby improving work efficiency and space utilization.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] A double-station welding fixture includes a base plate, a mounting plate, a positioning assembly, a cylinder, a clamp and a pressure plate. The positioning assembly is used to position the workpiece. The base plate is vertically mounted with the mounting plate by bolts. The positioning assembly, the clamp, the cylinder and the pressure plate are arranged on both the front and back sides of the mounting plate. The positioning assembly includes an extrusion block and a positioning block. The cylinder is connected to the extrusion block.

[0007] Furthermore, an oil separator is provided on the top of the mounting plate, and the cylinder includes a pressure plate cylinder and an extrusion block cylinder. The oil separator is connected to the cylinder through an internal pipeline of the mounting plate.

[0008] The oil separator can reasonably distribute the lubricating oil in the compressed air and supply it to the pressure plate cylinder and the extrusion block cylinder respectively, ensuring that each cylinder can get the right amount of lubrication, thereby reducing friction resistance, extending the cylinder life and improving work efficiency. The pressure plate cylinder and the extrusion block cylinder are designed separately, so that the clamping action (controlled by the extrusion block cylinder) and the pressing action (controlled by the pressure plate cylinder) can be executed independently, which increases the flexibility of equipment operation and can perform precise motion control according to the needs of different workpieces. The oil separator and the cylinder are connected by the internal pipe of the mounting plate, which not only makes the overall structure more compact and saves space, but also reduces the external piping layout, reduces the risk of leakage, and improves the stability and safety of the system.

[0009] Furthermore, a pad is provided on the mounting plate panel, and the pad is fixed to the mounting plate by bolts. The cylinder is provided on the pad, the pressure plate is connected to the pressure plate cylinder, and the extrusion block is connected to the extrusion block cylinder.

[0010] The pad provides a stable support platform for the cylinder, which can effectively disperse and withstand the pressure and impact generated when the cylinder is working, prevent the mounting plate from being deformed due to direct pressure, and enhance the overall rigidity and stability of the equipment. The pad fixed by bolts is height-adjustable and can be fine-tuned according to different workpiece sizes and process requirements, making the relative position between the cylinder and the workpiece more accurate; it is also convenient to remove and replace the pad and related accessories when necessary, which is convenient for equipment maintenance. The pad can prevent the cylinder from directly contacting the hard mounting plate surface, reduce cylinder damage caused by collision or wear, and extend the service life of the cylinder. The pressure plate connects the pressure plate cylinder, and the extrusion block connects the extrusion block cylinder. This design makes the functions of each component clearer and does not interfere with each other during operation, thereby improving the reliability and efficiency of the equipment.

[0011] Furthermore, three support blocks are provided on the mounting plate, the support blocks are fixed to the mounting plate by bolts, and rubber buffer sleeves are sleeved on the support blocks.

[0012] The rubber pad set on the top of the support block has a buffering effect. It can absorb the impact force generated during the placement or operation of the workpiece, reduce vibration and noise, and at the same time protect the workpiece from scratches and protect the equipment from hard impact damage. The rubber pad has good anti-slip properties and can effectively prevent the workpiece from sliding during processing or positioning, further ensuring the accurate and stable positioning of the workpiece. Since the support block is fixed by bolts, it can be quickly and flexibly adjusted according to the size and shape of the specific workpiece to meet the support requirements under different working conditions.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning block and the extrusion block are both V-shaped, and the positioning block is fixed to the base plate.

[0014] The V-shaped design can provide the workpiece with a highly adaptive guiding and positioning function, especially for shafts or other workpieces with specific angles. The V-groove can automatically center the workpiece according to the contour of the workpiece, greatly improving the positioning accuracy. The V-shaped structure can make the workpiece have a larger contact area with the positioning block and the extrusion block when being positioned or clamped, thereby improving the stability of the workpiece fixation and preventing the workpiece from shaking or displacing due to uneven force during the processing. The V-shaped structure can disperse the point of force application and reduce local stress concentration, so that even when clamping with strong force, the deformation of the workpiece and the positioning block itself can be minimized. The positioning block is fixed to the base plate to ensure the constancy of the positioning reference, so that when the workpiece is replaced or the equipment is adjusted, the positioning block always serves as a stable reference point, simplifying the installation and disassembly process and improving work efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, the pressing plate is installed on the top of the pressing plate cylinder, and the pressing plate can perform planar circular motion around the connecting portion of the pressing plate cylinder.

[0016] Through the planar circular motion of the pressing plate, the clamping operation of targets in different positions can be achieved within a certain range, which increases the flexibility and adaptability of the clamping action, especially in situations where multi-angle clamping or continuous rotation clamping is required. This design allows the pressing plate to apply pressure in multiple directions according to actual needs, which helps to ensure a more uniform distribution of force throughout the pressing process, reducing the risk of product deformation or damage due to uneven force. The pressing plate cylinder can accurately control the motion trajectory and force of the pressing plate to achieve automated operation, improve production efficiency and product quality consistency. Compared with linear reciprocating motion, the pressing plate performs planar circular motion around the cylinder connection to complete operations in multiple directions within a limited space, which is suitable for production lines or assembly lines with compact space.

[0017] Furthermore, the gripper includes an operating rod and a clamping rod, the operating rod is sleeved with an anti-slip sleeve, and the top of the clamping rod is provided with a rubber buffer pad.

[0018] The anti-slip sleeve on the operating rod can effectively increase the friction when gripping, prevent the staff from operating the clamp due to slipping of the hand, thereby improving the safety and comfort of operation. The rubber buffer pad on the top of the clamping rod can play a buffering role when clamping the workpiece, avoiding direct contact between metal and metal, preventing the workpiece surface from being scratched or damaged, and also reducing the noise generated during the clamping process. The rubber buffer pad has a certain elasticity and can provide appropriate buffering and shock absorption effects when clamping the workpiece, which can ensure sufficient clamping force without causing deformation or damage to the workpiece due to excessive clamping. The anti-slip sleeve and rubber buffer pad can also effectively reduce the wear of the clamping component itself, thereby extending the service life of the clamping hand and even the entire equipment.

[0019] The utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0020] The mounting plate of the utility model is vertically arranged on the base, which improves the utilization of space compared with the traditional horizontal fixture mounting plate. In addition, both the front and back sides of the mounting plate can be used for part positioning and fixing, which further improves work efficiency.

[0021] The positioning components, clamps, support blocks and pressure plates on the mounting plate ensure that the workpiece can be stably mounted on the mounting plate, and the workpiece will not fall due to instability. The pressure plate is controlled by an independent pressure plate cylinder and can fix different positions of the workpiece separately. The operation is simple and convenient.
