Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser welding machine technology, specifically a positioning mechanism for a strip laser welding machine. Background Technology

[0002] A strip laser welding machine is a device that uses laser technology for welding, primarily used for the precise welding of strips (such as thin metal strips and foils). This type of welding machine features high precision and efficiency, and is suitable for welding various thin-walled materials and precision parts. It can perform various welding methods such as spot welding, butt welding, and sealing welding. To ensure stability during the welding process, a positioning mechanism is typically used to fix the position of the strip.

[0003] According to CN221415434U, a laser cutting and welding machine with a positioning mechanism includes a processing table. Support legs are installed on both sides of the bottom of the processing table. A controller is installed at one end of the processing table. A storage cabinet is installed inside the processing table. Heat dissipation holes are provided on both sides of the interior of the processing table. Threaded sleeves are movably installed on the outer wall of the screw, and a placement seat is installed at the top of each threaded sleeve. Threaded rods are movably installed on both sides inside the placement seat. This laser cutting and welding machine, by incorporating components such as a positioning table, positioning block, threaded rod, and screw, allows the workpiece to be placed in the placement seat inside the positioning table above the processing table after it is retrieved. The rotation of the threaded rod then pushes the positioning block to position and lock the placed workpiece, ensuring that the workpiece is stably positioned and clamped above the processing table. This significantly improves the accuracy of subsequent workpiece cutting and enhances its practicality.

[0004] The aforementioned positioning blocks and other structures can be used to position the workpiece, thereby improving the accuracy of workpiece cutting. However, since the position of the positioning block is adjusted manually by using a threaded rod, the workpiece is prone to misalignment in the lateral direction when it is cut and then welded, which reduces the quality of the workpiece during welding.

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a positioning mechanism for a strip laser welding machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a positioning mechanism for a strip laser welding machine, comprising a mounting base, a first sliding groove on the top of the mounting base, a bidirectional lead screw rotatably connected inside the first sliding groove, a rotating handle fixedly connected to the front of the bidirectional lead screw, a limit plate threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional lead screw, a ratchet fixedly sleeved on the surface of the bidirectional lead screw, a connecting block fixedly connected to the side of the mounting base away from the rotating handle, a connecting spring fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block near the ratchet, a pawl fixedly connected to the end of the connecting spring away from the connecting block, and a rotating rod rotatably connected inside the pawl.

A through hole is opened in the middle of the connecting plate, and a slide rod is slidably connected inside the through hole. A return spring is movably sleeved on the surface of the slide rod. A positioning plate is fixedly connected to the side of the slide rod near the second slide groove, and a lower magnetic block is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate.

[0010] As a further preferred embodiment of this technical solution, the number of through holes is four, the number of sliding rods corresponds to the number of through holes, a circular baffle is provided on the side of the sliding rod away from the positioning plate, and the reset spring is located between the connecting plate and the positioning plate.

The upper magnetic block and the lower magnetic block contact and attract each other, thereby fixing the position of the rotating plate. At the same time, the pressure plate contacts the material strip and limits it in the longitudinal direction to prevent the material strip from loosening during processing.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] This utility model provides a technical solution: such as Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a positioning mechanism for a strip laser welding machine includes a mounting base 1. A first groove 2 is provided on the top of the mounting base 1. A bidirectional lead screw 3 is rotatably connected inside the first groove 2. A rotating handle 4 is fixedly connected to the front of the bidirectional lead screw 3. A limit plate 5 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 3. A ratchet 6 is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the bidirectional lead screw 3. A connecting block 7 is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting base 1 away from the rotating handle 4. A connecting spring 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 7 near the ratchet 6. A pawl 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the connecting spring 8 away from the connecting block 7. A rotating rod 10 is rotatably connected inside the pawl 9.

[0024] By rotating the handle 4, the bidirectional lead screw 3 rotates, and the limiting plates 5 slide and move closer to each other in the first slide groove 2. After moving a certain distance, the limiting plates 5 contact the material strip, thereby aligning the two sides of the material strip and preventing misalignment during welding. At the same time, the ratchet 6 rotates with the bidirectional lead screw 3. Since the pawl 9 is engaged in the gear groove of the ratchet 6, the ratchet 6 can only rotate in one direction, thus avoiding loosening after limiting the material strip.

[0025] The rotating handle 4 is located outside the mounting base 1. There are two limiting plates 5. The bottom of the two limiting plates 5 is equipped with sliders. The sliders are adapted to the first sliding groove 2. The ratchet 6 and the pawl 9 are engaged. The rotating rod 10 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1.

[0026] The top of the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to a support seat 11. The top of the support seat 11 is provided with a second sliding groove 12. The right side of the support seat 11 is fixedly connected to a drive motor 13. The output end of the drive motor 13 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 14. The surface of the threaded rod 14 is threadedly connected to a movable seat 15. The top of the mounting base 1 is fixedly connected to a fixed seat 16.

[0027] The top of both the movable seat 15 and the fixed seat 16 are fixedly connected to a connecting plate 17. A through hole 18 is opened in the middle of the connecting plate 17. A slide rod 19 is slidably connected inside the through hole 18. A return spring 20 is movably sleeved on the surface of the slide rod 19. A positioning plate 21 is fixedly connected to the side of the slide rod 19 near the second slide groove 12. A lower magnetic block 22 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 17.

[0028] There are four through holes 18, and the number of slide rods 19 corresponds to the number of through holes 18. A circular baffle is provided on the side of the slide rod 19 away from the positioning plate 21, and the return spring 20 is located between the connecting plate 17 and the positioning plate 21.

[0029] A rotating seat 23 is fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate 17. A rotating plate 24 is rotatably connected inside the rotating seat 23. A threaded hole 25 is opened in the middle of the rotating plate 24. An adjusting screw 26 is threadedly connected inside the threaded hole 25. A pressure plate 27 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw 26. A telescopic rod 28 is fixedly connected to the top of the pressure plate 27. An upper magnetic block 29 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating plate 24.

[0030] By pulling the slide bar 19 outward, it slides within the through hole 18, compressing the return spring 20. After moving a certain distance, the strip is placed between the two connecting plates 17. The return spring 20 causes the slide bar 19 to move back, and the positioning plate 21 fixes the position of the strip. The rotating plate 24 is flipped, causing it to rotate within the rotating seat 23. The upper magnetic block 29 and the lower magnetic block 22 contact and attract each other, thus fixing the position of the rotating plate 24. At the same time, the pressure plate 27 contacts the strip and limits its longitudinal movement to prevent loosening during processing. The adjusting screw 26 is rotated within the threaded hole 25, pushing the pressure plate 27 downward. The length of the telescopic rod 28 changes accordingly to adjust the height of the pressure plate 27, thus adapting to strips of different thicknesses.

[0031] The top of the adjusting screw 26 is provided with a rotating disk. The telescopic rod 28 and the rotating plate 24 are fixedly connected. The telescopic rod 28 is composed of two sleeve rods. The bottom end of the upper magnetic block 29 is in contact with the lower magnetic block 22.

[0032] This utility model provides a positioning mechanism for a strip laser welding machine, the specific working principle of which is as follows:

[0033] In use, the mounting base 1 is fixed to the frame with bolts. Pulling the slide rod 19 outwards allows it to slide within the through hole 18, compressing the return spring 20. After moving a certain distance, the two strips are placed between the two connecting plates 17 of the fixed seat 16 and the movable seat 15, respectively. The return spring 20 causes the slide rod 19 to return, and the positioning plate 21 fixes the position of the strips. The rotating plate 24 is then flipped, causing it to rotate within the rotating seat 23. The upper magnetic block 29 and the lower magnetic block 22 contact and attract each other, thus fixing the position of the rotating plate 24. Simultaneously, the pressure plate 27 contacts the strips, aligning them longitudinally. The upward movement will limit the movement. Start the drive motor 13, and the threaded rod 14 will start to rotate. The moving seat 15 will slide on the support seat 11 and move closer to the fixed seat 16. Once the end faces of the two strips are aligned, rotate the handle 4 to rotate the bidirectional screw 3. The limiting plate 5 will slide in the first slide groove 2 and move closer to each other. After moving a certain distance, the limiting plate 5 will contact the strip, thereby aligning the two sides of the strips and preventing misalignment during welding. At the same time, the ratchet 6 will rotate with the bidirectional screw 3. Since the pawl 9 is engaged in the gear groove of the ratchet 6, the ratchet 6 can only rotate in one direction, preventing loosening after limiting the strips.

[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
