Detailed Implementation

[0023] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0024] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-3 This application will be described in further detail.

[0025] This application discloses a stable welding fixture.

[0026] Reference Figure 1 A stable welding fixture includes a frame 1, on which a positioning block 2 is provided. The positioning block 2 has a positioning groove 21, which positions the part. A pressure plate 3 and a lifting assembly 4 are provided on the frame 1. The lifting assembly 4 is mounted on the frame 1 and drives the pressure plate 3 to slide towards or away from the positioning block 2, pressing the part firmly onto the positioning block 2.

[0027] Reference Figure 1The positioning block 2 is installed on the frame 1. A fixing clamp 11 is provided on the side of the frame 1 near the positioning block 2. The fixing clamp 11 includes a handle 12 and a pressure rod 13. One end of the pressure rod 13 extends into the positioning groove 21 on the positioning block 2. When the part is placed in the positioning groove 21 of the positioning block 2, the pressure rod 13 is pulled to press one end of the pressure rod 13 against the part, thereby preventing the part from falling off the positioning block 2.

[0028] A first sensor 14 and a second sensor 15 are installed on the frame 1, located on either side of the positioning block 2. During operation, the first sensor 14 emits a laser beam, and the second sensor 15 receives it. When the workpiece is not placed on the positioning block 2, the laser beam emitted by the first sensor 14 is received by the second sensor 15, and the welding machine will not start working. When the workpiece is placed on the positioning block 2, the laser beam emitted by the first sensor 14 is blocked by the workpiece, and the welding machine will then weld the workpiece according to a predetermined trajectory.

[0029] Reference Figure 2 The frame 1 is provided with a lifting plate 41, which is generally rectangular. The lifting assembly 4 includes a lifting cylinder 42. There is one lifting cylinder 42 on each side of the lifting plate 41 along its length. The lifting cylinder 42 is vertically arranged and is mounted on the frame 1. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 42 is connected to the lifting plate 41. In use, the lifting plate 41 is driven to rise and fall by the lifting cylinder 42.

[0030] The lifting plate 41 has a clearance groove 411, which has a rectangular cross-section and is open on one side along its length. Mounting strips 43 are provided on both sides of the clearance groove 411 along its width. Slots 43 are provided on the mounting strips 43, and in use, the pressure plate 3 is inserted into the slots 431 of the mounting strips 43. Furthermore, the pressure plate 3 has welding holes 31 that penetrate through it. In use, the pressure plate 3 presses the part firmly onto the positioning block 2, and the welding equipment welds the part through the welding holes 31 on the pressure plate 3.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 To improve the stability of the pressure plate 3 on the lifting plate 41, a positioning hole 32 is provided on the pressure plate 3, and a fixing bolt 33 is provided on the lifting plate 41. The fixing bolt 33 is threadedly connected to the lifting plate 41, and one end of the fixing bolt 33 passes through the lifting plate 41 and the other end of the fixing bolt 33 passes through the lifting plate 41 and enters the positioning hole 32. In use, the positioning plate is positioned by the fixing bolt 33, which greatly improves the stability of the pressure plate 3 after pressing the workpiece.

[0032] Guide rods 16 are provided on the frame 1, with four guide rods 16 spaced apart at each of the four corners of the lifting plate 41. The axes of the four guide rods 16 are parallel to the axis of the lifting cylinder 42. The guide rods 16 are vertically arranged, with one end connected to the frame 1 and the other end passing through the lifting plate 41. In addition, guide sleeves 161 are fitted on each of the four guide rods 16, and all four guide sleeves 161 are installed on the lifting plate 41. In use, the lifting plate 41 slides along the axis of the guide rods 16 under the drive of the lifting cylinder 42.

[0033] Reference Figures 2-3 When the pressure plate 3 presses the workpiece, in order to reduce damage to the workpiece caused by the pressure plate 3, a positioning rod 17 is provided on the frame 1. One positioning rod 17 is located on each side of the lifting plate 41 along its length. One end of each positioning rod 17 is connected to the frame 1, and the other end extends towards the side closer to the lifting plate 41. A contact surface 171 is formed on the side of the positioning rod 17 closest to the lifting plate 41, and the contact surface 171 is parallel and spaced apart from the lifting plate 41. In use, the length of the positioning rod 17 is selected according to the installation height of the positioning block 2 on the frame 1.

[0034] Reference Figure 3 A shock absorber 44 is provided on the lifting plate 41, corresponding to the positioning rod 17. A contact head 45 is provided on the side of the shock absorber 44 closest to the positioning rod 17, and a connecting rod 451 is provided on the contact head 45. One end of the connecting rod 451 is connected to the contact head 45, and the other end passes into the shock absorber 44. A connecting plate 452 is provided at the end of the connecting rod 451 that passes into the shock absorber 44. A shock-absorbing spring 46 is provided between the side of the connecting plate 452 away from the connecting rod 451 and the shock absorber 44, and the shock-absorbing spring 46 abuts against the connecting plate 452 and the shock absorber 44. When the lifting plate 41 moves closer to the positioning block 2, the contact head 45 contacts the contact surface 171 on the positioning rod 17, at which time the shock-absorbing spring 46 is compressed. Through the damping of the shock-absorbing spring 46, the impact force of the pressure plate 3 pressing against the workpiece can be reduced.

[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
