[0025] The technical scheme in the embodiments of the utility model will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of the utility model.
[0026] Embodiment: please refer to Figures 1 to 4 According to the embodiment of the utility model, a technical scheme is provided: a spot welding grounding nut post, comprising: a grounding nut post column body 1 having a threaded column end 101 and a nut end 102, the nut end 102 extends radially along the rotation center of the nut end 102 to a cylindrical welding spot bulge 2 away from the threaded column end 101;A plurality of spot welding blocks 3 are arranged annularly on the welding spot bulge 2, and each spot welding block 3 extends a point welding extension 4 around the circumference;The gap between the point welding extension 4 and the nut end 102 can be used for spot welding.
[0027] When the nut end 102 of the grounding nut column body 1 is downward, that is, installed on the sheet metal of the electric structure at the bottom of the electric seat of the automobile, the nut end 102 of the grounding nut column body 1 is aligned with the pre-welding holes of the sheet metal, then the spot welding block 3 passes through the pre-welding hole to make the welding point protrusion 2 abut against the sheet metal, and the back of the spot welding block 3 and the sheet metal is spot welded to weld and fix the spot welding block 3 and the back of the sheet metal. At this time, since the welding point protrusion 2 protrudes from the nut end 102 of the grounding nut column body 1, a certain welding gap is formed between the welding point protrusion 2 and the sheet metal, then the gap between the welding point protrusion 2 and the sheet metal is welded again, and through the welding gap formed between the welding point protrusion 2 and the sheet metal and the welding gap formed between the spot welding extension 4 and the back of the sheet metal, the problem of weakening and more easily loosening of the welding position can be effectively prevented, and the spot welding extension 4 can play an auxiliary role when being located at the bottom of the nut end 102 to make the welding point more full.
[0028] The cross section of the spot welding block 3 is a symmetrical trapezoid, the spot welding block 3 includes two symmetrical inclined surfaces, a wide surface and a narrow surface, the wide surface and the narrow surface are both concave in the spot welding block 3 and form arc surfaces, the two symmetrical inclined surfaces of the trapezoid help to guide the distribution of welding current and heat, in the process of spot welding, the current is conducted from the electrode to the welding piece through the spot welding block 3, the design of the inclined surface makes the current more evenly diffuse when contacting the welding piece, thereby improving the stability and welding quality of the welding, the wide surface and the narrow surface are both arc surfaces, which can increase the contact area of the spot welding block 3 and the welding piece, secondly, when the grounding nut column body 1 is installed in a horizontal state on the vehicle frame, at least one wide surface or narrow surface on the two spot welding blocks 3 can play a role of a groove, so that the spot welding molten solder or melt flows into the groove formed by the wide surface or the narrow surface, thereby playing an auxiliary role and further increasing the fullness of the welding point when the grounding nut column body 1 is located at different positions or directions.
[0029] The two extension surfaces of the spot welding extension 4 located at the wide surface and the narrow surface of the spot welding block 3 are both outwardly protruding arc surfaces, by making the two extension surfaces of the spot welding extension 4 outwardly protrude, the distribution of the solder around the welding point is more uniform when the grounding nut column body 1 is placed, which helps to form a full and uniform welding point and reduces welding defects such as virtual welding and missed welding, thereby improving the welding quality.
[0030] The concave structure of the spot welding groove 5 between the spot welding block 3 and the welding point protrusion 2 can effectively converge the molten solder in the welding process. Compared with the design without the spot welding groove 5, the solder does not flow randomly but is concentrated in the spot welding groove 5, which helps to form a more full and thicker welding seam at the welding point, thereby significantly enhancing the connection strength between the grounding nut column and the welding piece.
[0031] The bolt 6 is connected with the threaded column end 101 of the grounding nut column body 1, and the bolt 6 and the grounding nut column body 1 are both made of aluminum alloy material. In the complex electrical environment of the automobile, different metal materials in contact may cause electrochemical corrosion due to potential difference, and the use of the same aluminum alloy material can effectively avoid this situation, prolong the service life of the grounding system, and ensure that the grounding connection is stable and reliable for a long time. The aluminum alloy material has the characteristics of light weight and high strength. For new energy vehicles, lightweight is crucial. The bolt 6 and the grounding nut column body 1 made of aluminum alloy material can meet the mechanical performance requirements of the grounding system while helping to achieve the lightweight goal of the whole vehicle and improve the vehicle's range and handling performance.
[0032] The bolt 6 and the grounding nut column body 1 are both plated with a nickel plating layer. Nickel itself has a certain conductivity, although not as good as copper, but after plating nickel on the surface of the aluminum alloy, the surface conductivity of the bolt 6 and the grounding nut column body 1 can be improved to a certain extent. In the automobile electrical system, from the battery to the engine body, the frame longitudinal beam and other grounding connections, good conductivity helps to reduce the voltage drop of electrical equipment, ensures the stable power supply and normal work of electronic equipment, and prevents electromagnetic interference, equipment malfunction and other problems caused by poor grounding.
[0033] Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, replacements and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirits of the utility model, and the scope of the utility model is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
