[0035] Traditional welding fixtures typically consist of simple clamps and positioning devices, primarily used to fix and align the parts to be welded. However, when faced with welding tasks involving complex geometries or high precision requirements, such as welding shaft seats and sleeves, the lack of precise automatic centering and clamping mechanisms makes it difficult to ensure accurate centering and alignment between the shaft seats and sleeves, leading to inconsistent weld joint quality. This necessitates separate processes, which not only increases production time but may also introduce additional errors, affecting the quality of the final product.
[0036] Therefore, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, this utility model proposes a welding fixture, including a base 100, a first positioning component 200 connected to the base 100, and a second positioning component 300 connected to the base 100. The first positioning component 200 is used to position the bearing 400, and the second positioning component 300 is used to position the sleeve 500. After positioning, the bearing 400 and the sleeve 500 can be welded. If a welding robot is used for automated welding, the welding and fixing of the bearing 400 and the sleeve 500 can be completed in one process. Specifically, the first positioning component 200 includes a positioning component 210 for positioning the middle part of the bearing 400 and a clamping component 220 for clamping the bearing 400. The second positioning component 300 is located outside the first positioning component 200. The second positioning component 300 includes clamping components 310 for clamping both ends of the sleeve 500, and drives the sleeve 500 to be centrally aligned with the bearing 400 and abut against the side of the bearing 400. It should be noted that the positioning component 210 ensures that the bearing seat 400 is positioned with the centerline of the bearing seat 400 as the reference, which improves the accuracy of the welding position. The clamping component 220 ensures that the bearing seat 400 remains stable during the welding process, avoiding quality problems caused by the displacement of the bearing seat 400. At the same time, the clamping component 220 can effectively prevent the bearing seat 400 from deforming due to external force during welding, thus ensuring the quality stability of the welded joint. Furthermore, the clamping component 310 is used to precisely clamp both ends of the sleeve 500. This design allows the sleeve 500 to be accurately driven to a position centered and aligned with the bearing 400. Since the sleeve 500 can fit tightly against the side of the bearing 400, the two can be smoothly welded. This not only solves the problem of automatic centering that is difficult to achieve with traditional tooling, but also eliminates the errors that may be caused by manual adjustment, ensuring high quality of the welded joint. In addition, while ensuring precise positioning between the bearing 400 and the sleeve 500, it also achieves stable fixation between the two, reduces production steps, reduces the risk of human error, and improves welding efficiency and quality. It is suitable for welding applications that require high precision and reliability.
[0037] Refer to Figure 2In some embodiments of this utility model, the positioning component 210 includes a positioning strip 211 and a positioning post 212. The positioning strip 211 is embedded in the bottom of the bearing seat 400, and the positioning post 212 is installed at the center of the positioning strip 211. The positioning post 212 is embedded in the center of the bottom of the bearing seat 400, ensuring a tighter and more precise fit between the bottom of the bearing seat 400 and the positioning component 210. The embedded fit of the positioning strip 211 with the bottom of the bearing seat 400 and the embedding of the positioning post 212 at the center of the bottom of the bearing seat 400 can precisely control the position of the bearing seat 400, avoiding quality problems caused by displacement of the bearing seat 400, and ensuring the consistency and reliability of the weld bead. Furthermore, the clamping component 220 includes a first cylinder 221 and two clamping blocks 223. The first cylinder 221 connects to and drives the two clamping blocks 223 to move, clamping both sides of the top wall of the bearing seat 400. This ensures that the bearing seat 400 will not shift or deform during welding, improving the stability and reliability of the welding process, reducing the need for manual intervention, ensuring consistency in each welding operation, reducing the risk of human error, and improving production efficiency and welding quality. Optionally, the clamping blocks 223 are provided with two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped clamping surfaces 2231. The arc-shaped clamping surfaces 2231 match the shape of the top wall of the bearing seat 400, providing a more uniform pressure distribution, preventing local stress concentration, and protecting the surface of the welded part from damage. In addition, the design of the arc-shaped clamping surfaces 2231 can better adapt to bearing seats 400 with various top wall shapes, improving versatility and ensuring reliable fixation of the bearing seat 400.
[0038] In some embodiments, the first cylinder drives the clamping block to move linearly (not shown in the figure), for example, the first cylinder is a common cylinder. However, the linearly moving clamping block will also be on the loading path of the shaft seat when the clamping block is in the released state, which is not convenient for the rapid loading of the shaft seat. In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping block 223 can move in a swing path under the drive of the first cylinder 221, and can avoid the loading path of the shaft seat 400 when the clamping block 223 is in the released state. Specifically, as Figure 2As shown, a transmission rod 222 is provided between the first cylinder 221 and the clamping block 223. A push rod 2211 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft of the first cylinder 221. One end of the transmission rod 222 away from the clamping block 223 is hinged to one end of the push rod 2211. The middle part of the transmission rod 222 is connected to the base 100 via a slotted joint. For example, a fixing block 110 is fixedly provided on the base 100, and the middle part of the transmission rod 222 is connected to the fixing block 110 via a pin. Furthermore, the middle part of the transmission rod 222 or the fixing block 110 is provided with a slot that slides with the pin. In application, the first cylinder 221 can drive the transmission rod 222 to swing towards the center of the positioning component 210 to clamp the shaft seat 400. This not only avoids obstructing the feeding path of the shaft seat 400 but also optimizes the transmission path of the clamping force, allowing for more precise control of the magnitude and direction of the clamping force, adapting to different welding requirements.
[0039] Refer to Figure 3 and Figure 4 In some embodiments of this utility model, the second positioning component 300 includes a positioning block 320, which is fixed to the base 100. The positioning block 320 is used to position the side of the sleeve 500 away from the bearing 400. This facilitates the loading of the sleeve 500 and ensures that the weld bead between the sleeve 500 and the bearing 400 is not obstructed after the sleeve 500 is loaded. It allows for a single-pass welding and fixing process between the sleeve 500 and the bearing 400. Furthermore, after the positioning block 320 positions the sleeve 500, it ensures a tight fit between the sleeve 500 and the bearing 400, providing a stable reference point for the sleeve 500 and guaranteeing the accuracy of the sleeve 500's position during welding, thereby improving the quality of the weld bead. Optionally, there are two positioning blocks 320, arranged at intervals on the same side. Each positioning block 320 has a V-shaped groove on the side facing the sleeve 500, suitable for positioning the cylindrical sleeve 500. (Refer to...) Figure 3 and Figure 4The clamping component 310 includes a second cylinder 311 and two clamping blocks 313. The second cylinder 311 connects to and drives the two clamping blocks 313 to move towards or away from each other to clamp or release the sleeve 500, achieving precise clamping at both ends of the sleeve 500, ensuring a stable connection between the sleeve 500 and the shaft seat 400, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of the welding operation. Optionally, the second cylinder is a parallel pneumatic gripper (not shown in the figure), and two positioning blocks are respectively installed on the two grippers of the parallel pneumatic gripper. It is easy to understand that the automated clamping mechanism reduces the influence of human factors, improves the continuity and consistency of production, and the cylinder-driven clamping system can provide a consistent and controllable clamping force, ensuring the quality of the weld bead. In addition, this design allows for quick replacement and adjustment to accommodate sleeves 500 of different lengths, improving the flexibility and applicability of the equipment. Furthermore, each end of the clamping block 313 is provided with a clamping post 3131. The clamping post 3131 is adjustablely mounted on the clamping block 313 along the centerline of the sleeve 500. The two clamping posts 3131 are arranged opposite each other and used to clamp the sleeve 500. For example, the clamping post 3131 and the clamping block 313 are connected by a threaded drive and are tightened with a nut after being rotated to the appropriate position. This allows for fine-tuning according to the specific length of the sleeve 500, adapting to the needs of products with different length specifications and enhancing the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. In addition, the adjustable mounting of the clamping post 3131 along the centerline of the sleeve 500 ensures that the two clamping posts 3131 are arranged opposite each other and can effectively clamp the sleeve 500, so that the clamped sleeve 500 is centered with the bushing, ensuring the accuracy of the position of the sleeve 500 relative to the bushing, and resulting in higher precision of the welded product.
[0040] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments of this utility model, the base 100 is fixed with a mounting seat 120, and the mounting seat 120 is provided with a first guide groove 1201. The length direction of the first guide groove 1201 is parallel to the center line direction of the sleeve 500. The clamping block 313 is slidably disposed in the first guide groove 1201, ensuring that the clamping block 313 can maintain the correct direction when sliding, preventing the clamping block 313 from shifting during the clamping process, and ensuring the stability and reliability of the sleeve 500 clamping. This guiding mechanism enhances the stability of the system and ensures that each clamping action is consistent and reliable. Furthermore, the second cylinder 311 and the clamping block 313 are transmitted through a linkage mechanism, which effectively improves the clamping force of the clamping block 313 on the sleeve 500 and the stability of the sleeve 500 after clamping. Specifically, refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4The mounting base 120 is provided with a second guide groove 1202. The length of the second guide groove 1202 is parallel to the length direction of the first guide groove 1201. The drive shaft of the second cylinder 311 is fixedly connected to a push block 3111. The push block 3111 is provided with a transmission groove 31111. The transmission groove 31111 is arranged at an inclination with the second guide groove 1202. The clamping block 313 is rotatably mounted with a transmission pin 312 at one end facing the push block 3111. The transmission pin 312 is slidably disposed in the transmission groove 31111 and the second guide groove 1202. It should be noted that the transmission groove 31111 and the second guide groove 1202 are arranged at an angle, and the transmission pin 312 is slidably set in the transmission groove 31111 and the second guide groove 1202, which realizes the precise guidance of the clamping block 313 during the clamping process. The push block 3111 can drive the clamping block 313 to move linearly along the direction of the second guide groove 1202. The length direction of the second guide groove 1202 and the length direction of the first guide groove 1201 are parallel to the center line direction of the sleeve 500. Therefore, the clamping block 313 can clamp the sleeve 500 by moving parallel to the center line of the sleeve 500, which improves the clamping effect and ensures the stability and consistency of the sleeve 500 during the welding process.
[0041] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
