DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific embodiments. The following embodiments are merely illustrative and non-restrictive, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] A simple airtightness detection and laser repair welding fixture includes a manual flip positioner, a flip plate 1, a first slide rail 20, a positioning assembly, a first clamping assembly and a second clamping assembly. The flip plate 1 is fixedly installed on the manual flip positioner, and the first slide rails 20 are fixedly installed on both sides of the long side of the flip plate 1. The first slider 19 is slidably installed on the first slide rail 20, and the first clamping assembly is fixed on the first slider 19. The first clamping assembly performs a clamping operation on the top of the workpiece. Several positioning assemblies are also provided at intervals on both sides of the long side of the flip plate 1. The positioning assembly is arranged on one side of the first slide rail 20 to position the workpiece. The second clamping assembly is fixedly installed on the bottom of the flip plate 1 to perform a clamping operation on the bottom of the workpiece.

[0028] The manual flip positioner includes a first bracket 4, a second bracket 6, a cross bar 5, a leveling foot, a follower tailstock 3, a connecting plate 7, a connecting seat 11, a brake disc 8, a rotating shaft 9, a reducer 14, a convenient handwheel 15 and a limit assembly. The first bracket 4 and the second bracket 6 are arranged opposite to each other, and the cross bar 5 is fixed between the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 6. Leveling feet are provided at the bottom of the first bracket 4 and the second bracket 6. A follower tailstock 3 is provided at the top of the first bracket 4, and a connecting plate 7 is fixed on the inner side of the second bracket 6. The flip plate 1 is fixed on one side of the connecting plate 7, and the brake disc 8 is fixed on the other side of the connecting plate 7. A rotating shaft 9 is connected to the center of the brake disc 8. The other end of the rotating shaft 9 passes through the connecting seat 11 and is fixed to the reducer 14. A convenient handwheel 15 is installed on one side of the reducer 14, wherein the connecting seat 11 is fixed to the top of the second bracket 6, and a limit assembly is also fixed on the top of the second bracket 6.

[0029] The limiting assembly includes a limiting rod 12, a limiting shaft 10 and a limiting block 13. The limiting block 13 is fixedly mounted on the top of the second bracket 6, and the limiting block 13 is set as an opening. The limiting shaft 10 is passed through the limiting block 13, and one end of the limiting shaft 10 is passed through the through hole of the brake disc 8. A limiting rod 12 is also fixed on the limiting shaft 10. The limiting rod 12 is set perpendicular to the limiting shaft 10. By limiting the limiting rod 12 at the opening of the limiting block 13, the angle of the flip plate 1 is limited.

[0030] The manual flip positioner transmits rotational power through a convenient handwheel 15, a reducer 14, and a rotating shaft 9. The operator turns the convenient handwheel 15, transmitting its rotational motion to the reducer 14. The reducer 14, based on its internal gear ratio, reduces the input speed and increases the torque. The processed power is then transferred to the rotating shaft 9, which in turn drives the flip plate 1. When the flip plate 1 is tilted to the desired angle, the operator controls the limit lever 12 to insert the limit shaft 10 into the through-hole of the brake disc 8 and lock the limit lever 12 into the opening of the limit block 13, thereby limiting the angle of the flip plate 1.

[0031] The first clamping assembly includes a first clamping cylinder 16, a first displacement cylinder 21, a connecting frame 2 and a first clamping plate 17. A connecting frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the first slider 19, and the first clamping cylinder 16 is fixedly installed on the crossbeam 18 of the connecting frame 2. The piston rod of the first clamping cylinder 16 passes through the crossbeam 18 and is fixed to the first clamping plate 17. The first displacement cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the outer side of the first slider 19. The first slider 19 is driven to move along the first slide rail 20 by the extension and contraction of the piston rod of the first displacement cylinder 21, thereby driving the displacement of the first clamping assembly; wherein, there are multiple first clamping cylinders 16.

[0032] When the piston rod of the first displacement cylinder 21 is extended or retracted, since the first slider 19 is connected to the piston rod of the first displacement cylinder 21 and the first slider 19 is installed on the first slide rail 20, the first slider 19 will move along the first slide rail 20. This is based on the linear motion principle of the cylinder, and the piston is driven by air pressure to perform linear motion in the cylinder body, thereby driving the piston rod to extend or retract. The movement of the first slider 19 drives the entire first clamping assembly to move in the long side direction of the flip plate 1, so that it can be quickly adjusted to the appropriate clamping position according to the size and position of the workpiece. The air pressure inside the first clamping cylinder 16 then acts on the piston, and the pressure generated is transmitted to the first clamping plate 17 through the piston rod. The arrangement of multiple first clamping cylinders 16 can evenly distribute the pressure on the top of the workpiece. This uniform pressure can effectively prevent the workpiece from floating up or locally deforming during processing, ensuring that the workpiece maintains a stable position during airtightness testing and laser repair welding, providing a reliable foundation for subsequent operations.

[0033] The second clamping assembly includes a second clamping cylinder 25, a second slide rail 23, a second slider (not shown), a second displacement cylinder 24, and a second clamping plate 22. The second slide rail 23 is fixed to the bottom of the flip plate 1, on which a second slider is slidably mounted. The second clamping plate 22 is fixed to the second slider. Several second clamping cylinders 25 are fixed to the second clamping plate 22. The workpiece is clamped by the extension and retraction of the piston rods of the second clamping cylinders 25. A second displacement cylinder 24 is also fixed to the bottom of the flip plate 1. The second displacement cylinder 24 is arranged parallel to the second slide rail 23. One end of the piston rod of the second displacement cylinder 24 is connected to the second clamping plate 22. The extension and retraction of the extension rod of the second displacement cylinder 24 enables the second clamping plate 22 to be displaced on the second slide rail 23. When the piston rod of the second displacement cylinder 24 is extended or retracted, it pushes the second clamping plate 22 to slide on the second slide rail 23. This design allows the second clamping plate 22 to adaptively adjust its position in the horizontal direction according to the shape and size of the workpiece bottom. A plurality of second pressing cylinders 25 are mounted on the second pressing plate 22. When the piston rods of the second pressing cylinders 25 extend, a pressing force is applied to the bottom of the workpiece.

[0034] The positioning assembly includes a positioning cylinder 28, a rotating plate 27, and a connecting lug 29. The connecting lug 29 is fixed to the outside of the flip plate 1, and the positioning cylinder 28 is fixed to the outside of the connecting lug 29. The piston rod of the positioning cylinder 28 is connected to the positioning pressure arm 26 via the rotating plate 27. The rotation of the positioning cylinder 28 drives the positioning pressure arm 26 to position the workpiece. After the workpiece is placed on the fixture, the positioning cylinder 28 of the positioning assembly is activated, and the positioning cylinder 28 begins to rotate, driving the positioning pressure arm 26 via the rotating plate 27. The positioning pressure arm 26 applies a positioning force to the workpiece, accurately positioning it on the flip plate 1 and preventing it from shifting during subsequent operations.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] The battery box cover assembly for a new energy vehicle, which requires airtightness testing and laser repair welding, is placed on the flip plate. The positioning cylinder in the positioning assembly is activated. As the positioning cylinder rotates, the rotating plate drives the positioning pressure arm to swing, positioning the workpiece.

[0037] The first displacement cylinder in the first clamping assembly works first, and its piston rod extends and retracts to drive the first slider to move along the first slide rail. The connecting frame on the first slider moves accordingly, so that the first clamping assembly as a whole moves to the appropriate position. When the first clamping assembly reaches the appropriate position, multiple first clamping cylinders are started at the same time. The air pressure in the first clamping cylinder pushes the piston, and the piston drives the piston rod to extend, applying uniform pressure to the top of the workpiece through the clamping plate, and performing a clamping operation on the workpiece. Then the second displacement cylinder of the second clamping assembly pushes the second clamping plate to slide on the second slide rail, so that the second clamping plate can adaptively adjust its position according to the shape and size of the bottom of the workpiece. The multiple second clamping cylinders on the second clamping plate are started, and their piston rods extend to apply a clamping force to the bottom of the workpiece, stably clamping the bottom of the workpiece.

[0038] After the workpiece is firmly clamped, it is tested for airtightness by external airtightness testing equipment. During operation, the operator turns the convenient handwheel to operate the manual flip positioner to flip the flip plate.

[0039] Although the embodiments and drawings of the present invention are disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will understand that various replacements, changes and modifications are possible without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention and the appended claims. Therefore, the scope of the present invention is not limited to the contents disclosed in the embodiments and drawings.
