Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle frame welding technology, and more specifically, to an automatic vehicle frame welding device. Background Technology

[0002] In the welding of existing electric tricycle frames, the welding process typically requires manual adjustment of the frame's position and angle. This is not only inefficient, but also prone to inconsistent welding quality due to variations in manual operation. Furthermore, traditional welding equipment often lacks flexibility and struggles to adapt to frames of different shapes and sizes, limiting production efficiency and welding precision.

[0003] A search revealed an electric vehicle subframe welding bracket with application number CN201820539037.5, belonging to the field of electric vehicle welding equipment. The bracket includes: a workbench; a support mounted on the workbench for fixing a curved beam; and a clamping swing arm disposed opposite to the support and rotatably connected at one end to the workbench. The clamping swing arm cooperates with the support to clamp the curved beam and presses the bottom connector onto the bottom of the curved beam. In use, the curved beam is fixed to the support, and the bottom welding groove of the bottom connector is aligned with the welding position at the bottom of the curved beam. Then, the clamping swing arm is rotated, causing the free end of the clamping swing arm to press the bottom connector against the bottom of the curved beam fixed to the support, thus fixing the bottom connector to the bottom of the curved beam. This eliminates the need for manual handling of the bottom connector, simplifying the welding operation. While this application can limit and weld the bracket, it cannot adjust the position and angle of the frame, nor can it adjust the welding angle; this is a deficiency of the prior art.

The vertical slide rail drives the extended arm, which is fixed to it, to move back and forth. The output shaft of the second motor can rotate the cross rod, which in turn drives the rotating block and bevel gear one to rotate. Bevel gear one can drive bevel gear two, which meshes with it, to rotate.
