[0041] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than 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 protection scope of the utility model.

[0042] The embodiment provides a novel projection welding tool mechanism for annular parts, which is applied to a projection welding machine and is used for welding between a plate 400 and a wire ring 500, for example, a product such as an automobile body safety belt mounting ring, as shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, two through holes 410 are formed in the main body of the plate 400, and two positioning holes 420 are formed in the edges of the plate 400. The main body of the wire ring 500 is substantially in a U-shaped structure. After the main body of the wire ring 500 passes through the two through holes 410 on the plate 400, the main body of the wire ring 500 is bent outward and welded to the main body of the plate 400.

[0043] Referring to Figures 2 to 10 , the projection welding tool mechanism comprises an upper electrode assembly 100, a positioning mechanism 200 and a lower electrode assembly 300.

[0044] The upper electrode assembly 100 comprises an upper electrode 110 and a lifting driving mechanism 120. The upper electrode 110 is connected to the lifting driving mechanism 120. The lifting driving mechanism 120 is installed on a rack 600 of the projection welding machine and can drive the upper electrode 110 to move up and down.

[0045] The positioning mechanism 200 is located below the upper electrode 110 and is used for positioning the steel wire ring 500, and the positioning mechanism 200 comprises a mounting plate 210 and two steel wire ring positioning blocks 220; the two steel wire ring positioning blocks 220 are oppositely arranged on the mounting plate 210, and the opposite end faces of the two steel wire ring positioning blocks 220 have a space for placing the steel wire ring 500, and the opposite end faces of the two steel wire ring positioning blocks 220 are respectively provided with positioning structures, and the positioning structures comprise first positioning portions 221 and second positioning portions 222 which are arranged in an up-down manner: the first positioning portions 221 are semicircular grooves formed in the end faces of the steel wire ring positioning blocks 220 and can be used for positioning the side edges of the steel wire ring 500; and the second positioning portions 222 are composed of extension portions 223 extending outward from the lower parts of the end faces of the steel wire ring positioning blocks 220 and positioning grooves 224 formed in the top faces of the extension portions 223 and can be used for positioning the bottom edges of the steel wire ring 500.

[0046] In some specific embodiments, the positioning grooves 224 on the two extension portions 223 are all configured as L-shaped grooves, and the two positioning grooves 224 are oppositely arranged, and by configuring the positioning grooves 224 as L-shaped grooves, the size of the steel wire ring positioning blocks 220 can be reduced, and the placement of the steel wire ring 500 is facilitated.

[0047] In this embodiment, the two steel wire ring positioning blocks 220 are respectively connected with the mounting plate 210 through one mounting seat 230, and an insulating pad is arranged between the mounting seat 230 and the mounting plate 210.

[0049] By adjusting the spatial position of the steel wire ring positioning block 220 in the up-down, left-right and front-back directions, the positioning requirements of steel wire rings 500 of different sizes and different offset angles can be met.

[0050] The lower electrode assembly 300 comprises a pair of lower electrodes 310 and a water-cooled electrode mounting base 320 connected to the bottom surface of the mounting plate 210, and an insulating pad is arranged between the water-cooled electrode mounting base 320 and the mounting plate 210.

A pair of the lower electrodes 310 are arranged in a cross shape with the two steel wire ring positioning blocks 220, and the lower electrodes 310 are oppositely mounted on the water-cooled electrode mounting base 320 and pass through the mounting plate 210 upwards. The top surface of the lower electrode 310 is the contact surface with the plate member 400, and a positioning pin 311 is arranged on the top surface of the lower electrode 310. The positioning pin 311 cooperates with the positioning hole 420 around the plate member 400 to realize the positioning of the plate member 400. The positioning pin 311 is made of an insulating material such as ceramic.

[0051] In this embodiment, in order to meet the positioning requirements of plate members 400 of different specifications and sizes, the pair of lower electrodes 310 are arranged in a structure with adjustable spacing. Specifically, a plurality of connection holes 321 for connecting the lower electrodes 310 are arranged on the water-cooled electrode mounting base 320 and are spaced apart in the front-back direction. Therefore, the lower electrodes 310 can be connected to any of the connection holes 321, thereby changing the positions of the lower electrodes 310 in the front-back direction and realizing the spacing adjustment between the pair of lower electrodes 310. The water-cooled electrode mounting base 320 is also provided with a guide key 322, and a guide groove 312 is formed in the bottom surface of the lower electrode 310. The cooperation of the guide key 322 and the guide groove 312 can ensure the accurate position of the lower electrode 310.

[0052] The working principle of the new type of ring-shaped part projection welding tool mechanism provided in this embodiment is as follows:

[0053] The steel wire ring 500 is positioned by the two steel wire ring positioning blocks 220, the plate member 400 is supported by the pair of lower electrodes 310, and the plate member 400 is positioned by the positioning pin 311 on the lower electrode 310. After the plate member 400 and the steel wire ring 500 are installed, the lifting drive mechanism 120 drives the upper electrode 110 to move downwards to contact the plate member 400, the steel wire ring 500 and the lower electrode 310. The upper electrode 110 and the lower electrode 310 heat the contact surface between the plate member 400 and the steel wire ring 500 by electric current, thereby realizing the welding of the plate member 400 and the steel wire ring 500.
