Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application relates to the technical field of laser welding tooling, in particular to a laser welding tooling for contactors. BACKGROUND

[0002] A contactor is a widely used switch appliance, which utilizes electromagnetic, pneumatic or hydraulic principles to realize the on-off of a main circuit through a control circuit. The contactor has the advantages of strong breaking current capacity, rapid action, safe operation, frequent operation and remote control, but cannot cut off short-circuit current, so the contactor usually needs to be used in cooperation with a fuse. The main control object of the contactor is a motor, and the contactor can also be used to control other power loads, such as welding machines and electric furnaces.

[0003] At present, common welding methods for contactors include resistance welding and arc welding. Resistance welding: the heat generated by electric current melts the metal locally to form a welding point, and the equipment is simple and the cost is low, but the welding quality is greatly affected by human factors, and the welding speed is slow. Arc welding: high-temperature molten metal is obtained by arc discharge to realize welding, which has the advantages of high welding strength and wide application range, but a large amount of smoke and harmful gas is generated during the welding process, which has adverse effects on the environment and the health of workers, so precise parts are usually welded by laser welding. In the existing laser welding tooling, there are problems such as complex positioning tooling, inconvenient installation and disassembly, and inconvenient operation, which can easily reduce production efficiency and affect the welding quality.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The following will be described in conjunction with the accompanying Figure 1 to Figure 4 The present application will be further described in detail.

[0033] The embodiments of the present application disclose a laser welding tool for contactors.

[0034] With reference to Figure 1 , including a base 1, a fixed plate 2, an air cylinder 3 and a pressing mechanism 4, the fixed plate 2 is installed on the base 1 by bolt fastening, the main function of the fixed plate 2 is to provide a support platform for the contactor components, the air cylinder 3 is installed on the base 1, the output end of the air cylinder 3 is connected with the pressing mechanism 4, the main function of the pressing mechanism 4 is to press the contactor components on the fixed plate 2 in the extended state of the air cylinder 3, to ensure the stability and accuracy of the components during the welding process. The stroke of the air cylinder 3 can be selected according to actual needs, the stroke range of the air cylinder 3 is 50 to 100 mm, to adapt to contactor components of different sizes and shapes; when the air cylinder 3 is in the extended state, the pressing mechanism 4 and the fixed plate 2 are in close contact, when the air cylinder 3 is in the retracted state, a gap is formed between the pressing mechanism 4 and the fixed plate 2, which achieves the effect of ensuring the stable fixation of the contactor components during the welding process, and avoids the welding quality problems caused by the movement of the components.

[0035] With reference to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the pressing mechanism 4 includes a pressing claw 41 and a connecting frame 42. One end of the connecting frame 42 is integrally formed with the pressing claw 41. The other end of the connecting frame 42 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 3. The connecting frame 42 and the fixed plate 2 are connected by a rotating member 43. Figure 4 As shown, the rotating member 43 includes a support 431, a rotating shaft 432 and a locking washer 433. The support 431 is fixed on the fixed plate 2 on both sides of the connecting frame 42. The rotating shaft 432 passes through the support 431 and the connecting frame 42 for rotational cooperation. The locking washer 433 is installed on the end of the rotating shaft 432 that is exposed from the support 431. Figure 3 As shown, the pressing claw 41 has an abutting portion 411 and a rotating portion 412. The end faces of the rotating portion 412 and the connecting frame 42 are perpendicular to each other. The abutting portion 411 and the rotating portion 412 form an acute angle. The abutting portion 411 is open. The pressing claw 41 can tightly press the contactor component when the cylinder 3 is in the extended state, and can quickly detach from the contactor component when the cylinder 3 is in the contracted state, facilitating subsequent pick-up and placement operations.

[0036] See also Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the fixing plate 2 is provided with a plurality of positioning holes 5, and a positioning pin 6 is installed in each positioning hole 5 for accurately fixing the position of the contactor component. The number and distribution of the positioning holes 5 can be changed according to the specific size and shape of the contactor component. 4 to 6 positioning holes 5 will be provided on the fixing plate 2 to ensure the stability and accuracy of the contactor component.

[0037] See also Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 7 for conveniently fixing the entire tooling to the workbench. The number of mounting holes 7 can be adjusted according to actual needs. Typically, 4 to 8 mounting holes 7 are provided on the base 1 to ensure the stability and reliability of the tooling.

[0038] See also Figure 4 As shown, a pad 8 is also installed on the fixed plate 2, and the abutting portion 411 rotates along the rotating shaft 432. The abutting portion 411 and the end face of the pad 8 are in contact with each other. An avoidance groove 9 is provided on the fixed plate 2, and the connecting frame 42 rotates in the avoidance groove 9 along the axis of the rotating shaft 432. The setting of the avoidance groove 9 enables the connecting frame 42 to avoid interference with each other when rotating on the fixed plate 2. The abutting portion 411 of the pressure claw 41 and the end face of the pad 8 on the fixed plate 2 are in contact with each other. The pad 8 is used to reduce the pressure of the pressure claw 41 on the contactor component to prevent damage to the surface of the contactor component. The pad 8 can be made of soft materials, such as rubber or silicone. These materials have good cushioning and anti-slip properties and can effectively protect the surface of the contactor component. The thickness of the pad 8 can be adjusted according to actual needs. The thickness range of the pad 8 is 1 to 3 mm.

[0039] The implementation principle of the laser welding tool for the contactor is as follows: when the contactor component needs to be fixed, the contactor component is first placed on the fixing plate 2 and preliminarily fixed through the positioning pin 6 in the positioning hole 5, then the air cylinder 3 is started, the output end of the air cylinder 3 is extended, the pressing mechanism 4 is driven to move downward, and the pressing claw 41 tightly presses the contactor component under the action of the air cylinder 3, so that the movement of the contactor component in the welding process is ensured. When the welding is completed, the output end of the air cylinder 3 is retracted, the pressing claw 41 is lifted, and the contactor component can be easily taken out, which not only improves the fixing accuracy of the contactor component, but also greatly improves the production efficiency and product quality, reduces manual intervention, and reduces the production cost.
