[0028] The utility model will be further explained below in connection with the drawings and examples.
[0029] As Figure 2 The utility model discious a rail transit static axle shoulder friction stir welding stirring head main body device includes support cover 2, stirring needle 3, fastening nut 4 and axle shoulder 5, machine tool equipment holder spindle 1 clamps stirring needle 3, and support cover 2 is connected with machine tool equipment holder spindle 1 by bolt, and fastening nut 4 is fixed axle shoulder 5 and is connected in support cover 2 on the screw thread, and the cooperation of the above four components forms the rail transit static axle shoulder friction stir welding stirring head main body device of the embodiment, and the static axle shoulder friction stir welding of each part of the aluminum alloy train body can be carried out.
[0030] The static axle shoulder friction stir welding experiment of train generally verifies the two components of roof or underframe respectively, and the embodiment expands the explanation of the static axle shoulder friction stir welding of roof.
[0031] As Figure 1 The utility model discious the weld position of roof friction stir welding.
[0032] Among them, as Figure 3 The utility model discious the weld position of roof friction stir welding.
[0033] Specifically, support cover 2 is fixedly connected on the outside of machine tool equipment holder spindle 1 by bolt.
[0034] More specifically, the bottom of support cover 2 is equipped with a circle of protruding skirt 21, and a circle of screw holes 22 is evenly arranged on skirt 21, as Figure 2 And Figure 3As shown. The skirt 21 is placed on the bottom step of the machine tool tool holder spindle 1. The skirt 21 is fixed to the bottom step by placing bolts in the screw hole 22, thereby fixing the support cover 2 to the outside of the machine tool tool holder spindle 1.
[0035] The main function of the support cover 2 is to provide static support and fixation for the shoulder 5 after the support cover 2 is rigidly connected to the machine tool tool holder spindle 1 by bolts, so that the shoulder 5 does not interfere with the dynamic high-speed rotation of the machine tool tool holder spindle 1 inside the support cover 2.
[0036] Among them, such as Figure 4 As shown, the fastening nut 4 is located on the outside of the shoulder 5 and the support cover 2. The fastening nut 4 fixes the shoulder 5 by threaded connection and is also threaded on the outside of the support cover 2 (that is, the upper and lower parts of the inner side of the fastening nut 4 are both threaded: the upper part of the inner side of the fastening nut 4 is threaded to the outer side of the shoulder 5, and the lower part of the inner side of the fastening nut 4 is threaded to the outer side of the support cover 2). The main function of the fastening nut 4 is to fix the shoulder 5 and the support cover 2 in a static connection, and to fasten and support the shoulder 5.
[0037] Among them, such as Figure 5 As shown, the machine tool spindle 1 holds the stirring pin 3, meaning the stirring pin 3 is connected to the end of the machine tool spindle 1 and can rotate at high speed. The main function of the stirring pin 3 is to be fixed on the machine tool spindle 1. By rotating at high speed and moving forward, the stirring pin 3 generates heat through high-speed friction at the contact point with the aluminum alloy roof profile (base material), thus making the aluminum alloy metal in that part thermoplastic.
[0038] Among them, such as Figure 6 As shown, the shoulder 5 is fixed inside the fastening nut 4 and located outside the stirring needle 3. The inside of the shoulder 5 is designed to mimic the shape of the stirring needle 3, but the shoulder 5 does not contact the stirring needle 3.
