[0048] The embodiment of the utility model provides a kind of anti-deformation pressing device for aluminum alloy welding, such as Figure 1a and Figure 1b As shown in the structure, the clamping device includes a base 1 and two pairs of clamping mechanisms 2; the two pairs of clamping mechanisms 2 are arranged in parallel, and the two clamping mechanisms 2 in each pair of clamping mechanisms 2 are relatively installed on the top surface of the base 1, forming a space for placing workpieces such as a bolster 3 between the two pairs of clamping mechanisms 2;

[0049] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the pressing mechanism 2 includes a pressing arm 21, a pressing screw 22, a pressing head 23, a pressing screw sleeve 24, and two semi-annular pressure covers 25; the pressing arm 21 is a right-angled structure, including a vertical extension structure and a horizontal extension structure;

[0050] The vertical extension structure is arranged in the vertical direction, with the bottom end fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1 and the top end fixedly connected to the horizontal extension structure; Figure 2 、 Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the vertical extension structure is composed of a vertical steel plate 211 and a clamping base 212 connected by two pin shafts 213; the clamping base 212 includes a bottom plate 2121 and two parallel vertical plates 2122; the bottom end of the bottom plate 2121 is detachably connected to the base 1; the bottom end of the vertical plate 2122 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the bottom plate 2121; the vertical plate 2122 and the vertical steel plate 211 are both provided with two pin holes in opposite positions; the vertical steel plate 211 is inserted between the two vertical plates 2122, and the pin shaft 213 is inserted into the pin holes of the vertical plate 2122 and the vertical steel plate 211; the vertical steel plate 211 and the clamping base 212 are connected by the pin shaft 213, which facilitates the disassembly and assembly between the vertical steel plate 211 and the clamping base 212. For example, when placing the pillow beam 3 or removing the pillow beam 3, the pin shaft 213 can be pulled out to open the pressing arm 21, which is convenient for taking and placing the pillow beam 3.

[0051] The end of the lateral extension structure toward the center of the base 1 is threadedly engaged with a compression screw 22; the compression screw 22 extends in the vertical direction; the end of the lateral extension structure is provided with a through hole extending in the vertical direction; the compression screw sleeve 24 is embedded in the through hole and screwed with the compression screw 22; the bottom end of the compression screw 22 is detachably mounted with a pressure head 23, and the top end is provided with a shoulder nut; Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the transverse extension structure is composed of a transverse steel plate 214 and a steel sleeve 215; one end of the transverse steel plate 214 is fixedly connected to the top of the vertical steel plate 211, and the other end extends toward another clamping mechanism 2 and is welded to the steel sleeve 215; the transverse steel plate 214 and the vertical steel plate 211 can be an integral structure or can be connected by welding; a through hole is formed inside the steel sleeve 215 and first threaded holes are distributed circumferentially; the clamping screw sleeve 24 is embedded in the steel sleeve 215.

[0052] In order to realize the fixed installation of the compression screw sleeve 24, as Figure 3 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the outer circumference of the compression nut 24 is provided with at least two blind holes 241 distributed along its circumference. The end of the transverse extension structure is provided with a first threaded hole that corresponds one-to-one with the blind holes 241 and extends through the wall thickness.

The semi-annular pressure cover 25 is fixed to the pressure head 23 by countersunk bolts. The pressure cover can prevent the pressure head 23 from detaching from the tightening screw 22. At the same time, different pressure heads 23 can also be replaced through the pressure cover.
