[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 ,in, Figure 1 A structural schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of a nut plate positioning mechanism and a nut plate welding device provided by the utility model; Figure 2 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of welding structure shown; Figure 3 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of the top of the equipment plate is shown; Figure 4 for Figure 3 A structural schematic diagram shown; Figure 5 for Figure 1 Schematic diagram of positioning structure shown;

[0029] Figure 6 for Figure 1 The schematic diagram of the feeding structure shown includes an equipment platen 1, an alignment structure 2 is provided on the top of the equipment platen 1, a spacing adjustment structure 3 is provided on the alignment structure 2, a feeding structure 4 is provided on the spacing adjustment structure 3, and a positioning structure 5 is provided on the top rear end of the equipment platen 1;

[0030] The alignment structure 2 includes an alignment slot 201 formed on the top of the equipment plate 1. A screw rod 202 is rotatably mounted inside the alignment slot 201. One end of the screw rod 202 extends through the alignment slot 201 and is fixedly mounted with an alignment rotating handle 203. An alignment slider 204 is sleeved on the outside of the screw rod 202. An alignment rod 205 is fixedly mounted on the top of the alignment slider 204.

[0031] The positioning structure 5 includes a sleeve 501 fixedly installed on the top rear end of the equipment table 1, a slide rod 502 is slidably inserted into the top of the sleeve 501, a spring 503 is sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 502, a mounting seat 504 is fixedly installed on the top of the slide rod 502, and a positioning block 505 is installed on the top of the mounting seat 504 through a thread.

[0032] In the specific implementation process, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the spacing adjustment structure 3 includes a spacing groove 301 opened at the top of the alignment rod 205, and a double-headed screw rod 302 is rotatably installed inside the spacing groove 301. Both ends of the double-headed screw rod 302 are sleeved with spacing sliders 306, and the tops of the two spacing sliders 306 are fixedly installed with spacing plates 307.

[0033] In the specific implementation process, refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the outer center of the double-headed screw 302 is sleeved with a driven bevel gear 303, the front of the driven bevel gear 303 is meshed with a driving bevel gear 304, the front end of the driving bevel gear 304 extends through the spacing slot 301 through the transmission shaft, and is fixedly installed with a spacing rotating handle 305.

[0034] It should be noted that the double-ended screw rod 302 is a rod with a right-hand thread and a left-hand thread respectively formed at both ends.

[0035] Manually rotate the spacing rotation handle 305 to control the active bevel gear 304 to rotate synchronously, and then the driven bevel gear 303 of the active bevel gear 304 is engaged and transmitted, and the rotational motion is transmitted to the driven bevel gear 303. Because the driven bevel gear 303 is coaxially connected with the double-headed screw rod 302, the driven bevel gear 303 and the double-headed screw rod 302 rotate synchronously. The double-headed screw rod 302 is a rod with right-handed and left-handed threads at both ends respectively, so the two spacing sliders 306 can be controlled to move closer or farther away synchronously. The spacing plate 307 fixed on the top of the two spacing sliders 306 will follow the synchronous displacement to adjust the spacing, which is suitable for the placement and clamping of nut plates of different widths.

[0036] In the specific implementation process, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the feeding structure 4 includes two feeding chutes 401 opened on the side close to each other of the two spacing plates 307, and the two feeding chutes 401 are slidably installed with feeding sliders 402 inside. The ends of the two feeding sliders 402 close to each other are fixedly installed with supporting plates 403, and the top rear ends of the two supporting plates 403 are provided with limiting blocks 404.

[0037] It should be noted that the two supporting plates 403 are both L-shaped plates.

[0038] The nut plate is placed between the tops of the two support plates 403 to perform clamping and supporting operations, and two limit blocks 404 are used to limit the longitudinal displacement of the nut plate. The nut plate is manually pushed so that the loading sliders 402 on the two support plates 403 slide longitudinally along the loading chute 401 inside the corresponding spacing plate 307 until the through hole inside the nut plate is clamped on the top side of the positioning block 505 to achieve positioning.

[0039] In the specific implementation process, refer to Figure 1 As shown, a supporting leg 6 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the equipment table 1, and the bottom ends of the two supporting legs 6 are fixedly installed with the same bottom plate 7.

[0040] The two supporting legs 6 support the equipment platform 1 in a balanced manner to ensure that the equipment platform 1 is evenly stressed, while the bottom plate 7 increases the stress-bearing area at the bottom to avoid the problem of equipment deviation during use.

[0041] A nut plate positioning mechanism also includes a welding structure 8 arranged at the rear end of the equipment table 1.

[0042] In the specific implementation process, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the welding structure 8 includes a connecting frame 801 arranged at the rear end of the equipment table 1, and a hydraulic cylinder 802 is provided at the top front end of the connecting frame 801. The bottom end of the hydraulic cylinder 802 extends through the connecting frame 801 through an inserted hydraulic rod 803, and the bottom end of the hydraulic rod 803 is evenly provided with a plurality of welding heads 804 through an installed welding head mounting plate.

[0043] The connecting frame 801 stably supports the hydraulic cylinder 802 to ensure that the hydraulic cylinder 802 can output power stably. The hydraulic cylinder 802 controls the hydraulic rod 803 plugged in the bottom to perform telescopic behavior, and controls several welding heads 804 evenly installed at the bottom to move down synchronously to the side of the nut to weld the nut to the top of the nut plate.

[0044] The working principles of a nut plate positioning mechanism and a nut plate welding device provided by the utility model are as follows:

[0045] When in use, the rotating spacing rotating handle 305 controls the active bevel gear 304 and the driven bevel gear 303 to mesh and transmit, and the driven bevel gear 303 rotates with the double-headed screw rod 302, and the double-headed screw rod 302 uses the left-handed thread and the right-handed thread at both ends to control the two spacing sliders 306 to move closer to or away from each other until the two supporting plates 403 clamp the nut plates and push the nut plates backward so that the two limit blocks 404 limit their lateral displacement. Then, on the one hand, the nut plates are pushed so that the loading sliders 402 on the two supporting plates 403 slide longitudinally along the corresponding loading chute 401, and on the other hand, the rotating alignment rotating handle 203 controls the screw rod 202 to rotate, driving the alignment slider 204 to move the alignment rod 205 forward. The nut plate is then pushed down and the nut is moved to the nut plate, whereupon the nut plate is pushed down and the nut plate is pushed ...
