Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of tooling and fixtures for automotive parts production, specifically relating to a tooling structure for laser welding of automotive seat adjusters. Background Technology

[0002] The aforementioned tooling, in a broad sense, refers to process equipment, that is, the collective term for various tools (such as fixtures, molds, and gauges) and equipment used in the product manufacturing process. Since these tools and equipment are designed and manufactured to achieve specific process objectives and solve specific process problems, their core function or purpose is to ensure product quality, improve efficiency, and reduce costs. Furthermore, because tooling is generally a non-standard product, there are neither national nor industry standards to follow, nor is there universality. Even when processing the same workpiece, different manufacturers often have significant differences in their technical means and the equipment they use. Based on factors beyond those mentioned above, tooling is usually designed and manufactured by automotive parts manufacturers themselves, while also fully considering stringent requirements such as non-interference during workpiece processing and ease of operation.

[0003] The structure and function of the aforementioned car seat adjuster are well-known in the industry and are frequently found in published Chinese patent documents. Typically, after the car seat adjuster is assembled, a closing ring needs to be installed to fix it to the outer wall of the toothed disc rim. The shape, structure, and function of the aforementioned closing ring and toothed disc can be detailed in Chinese patent application publication number CN105691250A (Car Seat Adjuster), etc. While the aforementioned methods of fixing the closing ring to the toothed disc rim can include riveting or press-fitting, the connection strength, structural stability, assembly efficiency, and rigid fit of riveting or press-fitting are far inferior to welding. Laser welding, a technique within the broader field of welding, offers several advantages for fixing the aforementioned closed ring to the rim of the gear disc. These advantages include: ensuring welding precision and quality; high energy concentration and a small heat-affected zone, effectively preventing damage to the gear disc and gear ring; high processing efficiency and consistency, with laser welding speeds reaching several meters per minute, significantly improving processing speed and adapting to large-scale production requirements; ideal cost and sustainability advantages, as laser welding eliminates the need for welding wire, achieving self-fusion welding and reducing material waste; and long laser lifespan and low failure rate; guaranteed yield, and so on. It is precisely because of these advantages, not limited to those mentioned above, that laser welding is increasingly valued by automotive parts manufacturers.

[0031] Depend on Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the aforementioned workstation partition 33 is fixed to the rotary table 3. Its obvious function is to prevent the welding of the car seat adjuster 8 at one workstation from affecting the other two workstations, such as preventing welding debris from splashing onto the workpieces at other workstations, namely the car seat adjuster 8.

[0032] Please see Figure 2 And combined Figure 1 and Figure 4The aforementioned angle adjuster clamping cover assembly 27 includes an angle adjuster clamping cover 271, an angle adjuster drive cover 272, an angle adjuster clamping cover connecting bearing seat 273, and an angle adjuster clamping cover connecting bearing seat cover plate 274. The lower part of the angle adjuster clamping cover 271 forms a truncated cone 2711 with a diameter that gradually decreases from the top to the bottom. In use, the truncated cone 2711 cooperates with the recessed cavity 81 of the car seat angle adjuster 8 to clamp and protect the upward-facing side of the car seat angle adjuster 8. The angle adjuster clamping cover 271 forms an angle adjuster clamping cover cavity 2712. Within 2712, there is a bearing housing support step ring 27121 and an upper protective sleeve support step ring 27122 for the angle adjuster drive component. The upper protective sleeve support step ring 27122 for the angle adjuster drive component is located below the bearing housing support step ring 27121. The upper protective sleeve 272 for the angle adjuster drive component is positioned below the clamping cavity 2712 on the angle adjuster. A support flange edge 2721 is formed at the upper end of the upper protective sleeve 272 for the angle adjuster drive component and around its perimeter. This support flange edge 2721 is supported on the aforementioned upper protective sleeve support step ring 27122 for the angle adjuster drive component and provides upper protective sleeve for the angle adjuster drive component. The lower part of the cavity 2722 forms an adjuster drive insertion cavity 27221. In use, the drive member 82 of the car seat adjuster 8 cooperates with the adjuster drive insertion cavity 27221. The adjusting sleeve clamping bearing seat 273 is supported on the aforementioned bearing seat support step ring 27121 and is fixed by the adjusting sleeve clamping bearing seat fixing screw 2731 and the bearing seat support step ring fixing screw hole 27123 provided at intervals on the bearing seat support step ring 27121. The upper part of the adjusting sleeve clamping bearing seat 273 protrudes from the adjusting sleeve clamping cavity 2712 and clamps the adjusting sleeve clamping bearing seat 273. A clamping sleeve connecting bearing 2732 is provided at the center of the angle adjuster. The clamping sleeve connecting bearing seat cover plate 274 covers the upper surface of the clamping sleeve connecting bearing seat 273 of the angle adjuster and is fixed to the cover plate fixing screw hole 2733 on the clamping sleeve connecting bearing seat 273 of the angle adjuster by cover plate fixing screw 2741. A cover plate through hole 2742 is formed at the center of the clamping sleeve connecting bearing seat cover plate 2742. The aforementioned cylinder rod end stepped connector 2211 extends downward through the cover plate through hole 2742 and the bearing hole 27321 of the clamping sleeve connecting bearing 2732 to the bottom of the clamping sleeve connecting bearing seat 273 of the angle adjuster.The cylinder column end step connector 2211 is fixed to the lower end face of the cylinder column end step connector 2211 by the cylinder column end step connector screw 22111, thereby connecting the cylinder column end step connector 2211 to the upper clamping sleeve connecting bearing seat 273 of the angle adjuster; during the process of the aforementioned rotary table drive mechanism 4, which is set on the aforementioned working platform 1, driving the aforementioned rotary table 3 to rotate in a rhythmic manner, each of the aforementioned set of lower clamping sleeves 5 of the angle adjuster alternately corresponds to the lower part of the upper clamping sleeve 271 of the aforementioned upper clamping sleeve assembly 27 of the angle adjuster; the aforementioned clutch mechanism 6 only engages or disengages with the lower clamping sleeves 5 of the angle adjuster corresponding to the lower part of the upper clamping sleeve 271 of the aforementioned angle adjuster, and in the engaged state, the aforementioned clutch rotation drive mechanism 7 drives the lower clamping sleeves 5 of the angle adjuster to rotate through the clutch mechanism 6.

[0033] Please see Figure 3 And combined Figure 1 The aforementioned rotary table drive mechanism 4 includes a rotary table drive motor 41 and a rotary table drive reduction gearbox 42. The rotary table drive motor 41 is fixed to the rotary table drive reduction gearbox 42 in a horizontal position and is connected to the rotary table drive reduction gearbox 42 in a transmission connection. The rotary table drive reduction gearbox 42, together with the rotary table drive motor 41, is mounted on a rotary table drive reduction gearbox support 421. The rotary table drive reduction gearbox shaft 422 of the rotary table drive reduction gearbox 42 faces upward. The aforementioned rotary table drive reduction gearbox support 421 is fixed on the aforementioned working platform 1. The center position of the downward-facing side of the aforementioned rotary table 3 is fixed to the aforementioned rotary table drive reduction gearbox shaft 422.

[0034] When the rotary table drive motor 41 is working, it drives the rotary table drive reduction gearbox 42. The rotary table drive reduction gearbox shaft 422 of the rotary table drive reduction gearbox 42 drives the rotary table 3 fixed thereto to rotate. When the lower clamping protective mechanism 5 of the car seat adjuster 8, which is to be welded to the gear plate, corresponds to the aforementioned upper clamping protective mechanism 2 of the adjuster, the rotary table drive motor 41 stops working, and the rotary table 3 stops rotating. At this time, the upper clamping protective sleeve lifting cylinder 22 of the structure system of the upper clamping protective mechanism 2 of the adjuster is working, causing the upper clamping protective sleeve lifting cylinder column 221 of the upper clamping protective sleeve lifting cylinder 22 to extend downward, that is, out of the cylinder body. Due to the action of the push plate 25 and the lower end of the upper clamping protective sleeve lifting cylinder column 221, the cylinder column step 2212 ( Figure 3The part shown is fixed, so the upper clamping protective sleeve lifting cylinder 221 pushes the push plate 25 downward. Since the entire upper clamping protective sleeve assembly 27 of the angle adjuster is actually fixedly connected to the lower end face of the upper clamping protective sleeve lifting cylinder 221 through the cylinder end step connecting head screw 22111, the upper clamping protective sleeve assembly 27 of the angle adjuster also moves downward at the same time as the aforementioned push plate 25 moves downward. The aforementioned upper clamping protective sleeve 271 of the angle adjuster protects the recessed cavity 81 of the aforementioned car seat angle adjuster 8 in the clamped state, and the downward-facing area of ​​the car seat angle adjuster 8 is clamped and protected by the lower clamping protective mechanism 5 of the angle adjuster, which will be further described below. The pause time between the aforementioned rotary table drive motor 41 stopping and starting work is basically consistent with the time taken for the laser welding robot to weld a workpiece, depending on the electrical controller used to control whether the rotary table drive motor 41 is working and is electrically connected. Furthermore, the aforementioned rotary table drive motor 41 is preferably a servo motor.

[0035] Please see Figure 4 And combined Figure 1On the aforementioned rotary table 3, a cylindrical hole 34 is provided for each of the set of angle adjuster clamping protective mechanisms 5. Each of the aforementioned set of angle adjuster clamping protective mechanisms 5 includes an angle adjuster clamping protective sleeve 51, an angle adjuster clamping protective sleeve connecting shaft support bearing seat 52, an angle adjuster clamping protective sleeve connecting shaft 53, and a clutch sleeve 54. The lower part of the angle adjuster clamping protective sleeve connecting shaft support bearing seat 52 forms a bearing seat column 521. A pair of connecting shaft mating bearings 52111 corresponding to each other are provided in the bearing seat column cavity 5211 of the bearing seat column 521, and the lower end of the bearing seat column 521 protrudes from the aforementioned rotary table. On the lower surface of the rotary table 3, a bearing seat flange 522 is extended at the upper end of the bearing seat 52 supporting the shaft of the lower clamping sleeve of the angle adjuster. The bearing seat flange 522 is fixed to the upper surface of the rotary table 3 by bearing seat flange screws 5221. The lower clamping sleeve 51 of the angle adjuster corresponds to the upper part of the bearing seat 52 supporting the shaft of the lower clamping sleeve of the angle adjuster. The lower clamping sleeve 51 of the angle adjuster forms an upper open cavity 511. On the upper part of the cavity wall of the cavity 511 and around the circumference of the cavity wall, there is an angle adjuster lower support for supporting the lower part of the aforementioned car seat angle adjuster 8. A journal fitting hole 5112 is formed at the center of the bottom wall of the cavity 511 of the lower clamping sleeve of the angle adjuster. The middle part of the connecting shaft 53 of the lower clamping sleeve of the angle adjuster is rotatably engaged with the aforementioned pair of connecting shafts and bearings 52111. The lower end protrudes from the lower plane of the aforementioned bearing seat column 521. The upper end of the connecting shaft 53 of the lower clamping sleeve of the angle adjuster forms a journal 531, which is rotatably engaged with the aforementioned journal fitting hole 5112. An upper limit plate 5311 is fixed to the upper part of the journal 531 and located inside the cavity 511 of the lower clamping sleeve of the angle adjuster by an upper limit plate fixing screw 53111. A lower limiting plate 5312 is formed at the lower part of the journal 531 and on the side of the bottom wall of the cavity corresponding to the lower clamping protective sleeve cavity 511 of the angle adjuster that is opposite to the lower clamping protective sleeve cavity 511 of the angle adjuster. The center of the top wall of the clutch sleeve 54 is fixed to the lower end of the bearing seat column 521, and clutch sleeve meshing teeth 541 are formed around the lower edge of the clutch sleeve 54. The aforementioned clutch mechanism 6 engages or disengages with the aforementioned clutch sleeve meshing teeth 541 of the aforementioned clutch sleeve 54. In the engaged state, the clutch mechanism 6 pushes the clutch sleeve 54 upward and the aforementioned clutch rotation drive mechanism 7 drives the clutch mechanism 6 together with the clutch sleeve 54 to rotate.

[0036] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 And combined Figure 1A clearance opening 12 is provided on the aforementioned working platform 1 at a position corresponding to the aforementioned clutch mechanism 6. The aforementioned clutch mechanism 6 includes a free-floating support plate 61, a clutch wheel drive cylinder 62, a splined bushing 63, a driven gear 64, a splined shaft 65, a buffer spring support plate 66, a clutch wheel 67, a buffer spring support plate limiting sleeve 68, and a set of buffer springs 69. The free-floating support plate 61 is set in a state of being suspended above the aforementioned working platform 1. The front end of the free-floating support plate 61 is fixed to the upper end of the front support 611 of the free-floating support plate by a front fixing screw. The lower end of the front support 611 of the free-floating support plate is fixed to the aforementioned working platform 1 by a screw. The rear end of the free-floating support plate 61 is fixed to the aforementioned working platform 1 by a rear fixing screw. The upper end of the rear support 612 of the elevated support plate is fixed, and the lower end of the rear support 612 of the elevated support plate is fixed to the aforementioned working platform 1 by screws. The aforementioned front support 611 of the elevated support plate is located in front of the clearance opening 12 of the working platform, while the rear support 612 of the elevated support plate is located behind the clearance opening 12 of the working platform. The space between the upper plane of the elevated support plate 61 and the clearance opening 12 of the working platform forms the elevated cavity 613 of the support plate. The clutch wheel drive cylinder 62 is fixed to the clutch wheel drive cylinder fixing plate 622 with its clutch wheel drive cylinder column 621 facing upward at a position corresponding to the lower part of the clearance opening 12 of the working platform. The clutch wheel drive cylinder fixing plate 622 and a set of connecting columns 6221 arranged in a grid pattern are connected to the lower part of the clutch wheel drive cylinder fixing plate 622. The upper end of a set of connecting posts 6221 is fixedly connected to the aforementioned elevated support plate 61. The splined bushing 63 is rotatably engaged with the splined bushing bearing seat 631 via a splined bushing bearing 6311. The splined bushing bearing seat 631 is fixed to the rear end of the aforementioned elevated support plate 61 via splined bushing bearing seat fixing screws. A splined bushing expansion disk 632 is formed on the upper part of the splined bushing 63, and a splined shaft sliding engagement hole 633 is formed at the center of the height direction of the splined bushing 63. The driven gear 64 is fixed to the splined bushing expansion disk 632 via a driven gear fixing screw 641 at a position corresponding to the splined bushing expansion disk screw hole 6321 opened on the splined bushing expansion disk 632. The upper end of the splined shaft 65 is connected to... The clutch wheel spline hole 671, located at the center of the clutch wheel 67, is splined. The lower end of the spline shaft 65 passes from top to bottom through the buffer spring support plate center hole 661, the buffer spring support plate limit sleeve spline hole 681, the driven gear center hole 642, located at the center of the driven gear 64, and the spline shaft sliding fit hole 633, extending to the bottom of the spline shaft sleeve 63. It is connected to the aforementioned clutch wheel drive cylinder 621 via the spline shaft rotatable connecting seat 651. The buffer spring support plate 66, located below the clutch wheel 67, is connected to the downward-facing side of the clutch wheel 67 via a set of spaced buffer spring support plate connecting screws 662.On the upward-facing side of the clutch wheel 67, there are clutch wheel clutch tooth rings 672 arranged radially for engaging or disengaging with the aforementioned clutch sleeve engagement teeth 541; the buffer spring support plate limiting sleeve 68 is fixed to the aforementioned spline shaft 65 by locking screws 682 at a position below the buffer spring support plate 66, and a retaining ring groove 652 is formed on the spline shaft 65 and above the buffer spring support plate limiting sleeve 68, the aforementioned buffer spring support plate 66 is positioned on the spline shaft 65 between the retaining ring groove 652 and the buffer spring. The support plate limiting sleeves 68 are separated by retaining rings 6521 embedded in retaining ring grooves 652. A set of buffer springs 69 are distributed at intervals, with the upper ends of the set of buffer springs 69 supported in clutch wheel spring support recesses formed on the lower surface of clutch wheel 67, and the lower ends of the set of buffer springs 69 supported in buffer spring support disc recesses 663 formed on the upper surface of buffer spring support disc 66. The aforementioned clutch rotation drive mechanism 7 meshes with the aforementioned driven gear 64. In this embodiment, the aforementioned clutch wheel drive cylinder 62 is a cylinder.

[0037] In this invention, the positive significance of the aforementioned set of buffer springs 69 is to absorb energy, preventing damage to the clutch wheel 67, clutch sleeve 54, and rotary table 3 due to impact. Specifically, it can prevent damage caused by excessive meshing force on the clutch wheel clutch tooth ring 672 (i.e., clutch wheel clutch teeth) and clutch sleeve meshing teeth 541 due to the operation of the clutch wheel drive cylinder 62.

[0038] See you later Figure 5 The aforementioned clutch rotation drive mechanism 7 includes a drive gear drive motor 71, a drive gear drive reduction gearbox 72, and a drive gear 73. The drive gear drive motor 71 is fixed to the drive gear drive reduction gearbox 72 with its motor shaft facing upward and engages in transmission with the drive gear drive reduction gearbox 72. The drive gear drive reduction gearbox 72, together with the drive gear drive motor 71, is fixed to the lower front end of the aforementioned elevated support plate 61. The drive gear drive reduction gearbox shaft 721 of the drive gear drive reduction gearbox 72 extends above the elevated support plate 61. The drive gear 73 is fixed to the top surface of the drive gear drive reduction gearbox shaft 721 above the elevated support plate 61 by a drive gear fixing screw 731 and meshes with the aforementioned driven gear 64.

[0039] The applicant needs to clarify that since the air-support plate 61 of the clutch mechanism 6 is mounted on the work platform 1 through the front and rear supports 611 and 612 of the air-support plate, and since the main gear drive reduction gearbox 72 of the clutch rotation drive mechanism 7 is mounted on the air-support plate 61 along with the active gear drive motor 71, this does not contradict the applicant's statement above that the clutch rotation drive mechanism 7 is mounted on the worktable 1 along with the clutch mechanism 6.

[0040] When one of the three angle adjusters clamps the protective mechanism 5, corresponding to the aforementioned angle adjuster clamping the protective mechanism 2 and the clutch mechanism 6, it indicates that the robot arm has already placed the car seat angle adjuster 8 on it in the previous station for laser welding. Before laser welding, the clutch mechanism 6 engages the clutch wheel 672 on the upward-facing side of its structural system with the clutch sleeve engagement teeth 541 of the clutch sleeve 54.

[0041] The engagement process between the clutch wheel 67 and the clutch sleeve 54 is as follows: The clutch wheel drives the actuating cylinder 62 to work, and the clutch wheel drives the actuating cylinder pin 621 to extend upward, i.e., outward from the cylinder body, pushing the spline shaft 65 to move upward. The spline shaft 65 then moves the buffer spring support plate 66 and the clutch wheel 67 upward, thereby establishing an engagement relationship between the clutch wheel clutch gear ring 672 on the clutch wheel 67 and the clutch sleeve engagement teeth 541 of the clutch sleeve 54. Furthermore, because the clutch sleeve 54 moves upward through the lower clamp of the angle adjuster holding the protective sleeve connecting shaft 53, and the lower clamp of the angle adjuster holding the protective sleeve connecting shaft 53 drives the aforementioned lower clamp of the angle adjuster holding the protective sleeve 51 to also move upward accordingly. Therefore, with the cooperation of the aforementioned angle adjuster clamping the protective sleeve assembly 27 and the angle adjuster clamping the protective sleeve 271, the workpiece to be welded, namely the car seat angle adjuster 8, is clamped between the upper and lower clamping protective sleeves 271 and 51 of the angle adjuster, and except for the area to be laser welded, the other areas are in a good shielded or protected state.

[0042] With the aforementioned car seat adjuster 8 in a well-clamped and protected state, the drive gear drive motor 71 of the clutch rotation drive mechanism 7 operates, driving the drive gear drive reduction gearbox 72. The drive gear drive reduction gearbox shaft 721 drives the drive gear 73, which meshes with the driven gear 64. The rotation of the driven gear 64 driven by the drive gear 73 causes the spline shaft 65 to rotate accordingly, thereby rotating the buffer spring support plate 66 and the clutch wheel 67. Ultimately, the rotation of the clutch wheel 67 causes the car seat adjuster 8 to rotate accordingly. In the rotating state, the corresponding... Figure 1A YAG (laser) welding robot, positioned in front but not shown in the figure, welds the closed loop of the rotating car seat adjuster 8 to the edge of the gear plate. After welding, the drive gear motor 71, also controlled by the aforementioned electrical controller, stops working, and the clutch mechanism 6 and the clamping shielding mechanism 2 on the adjuster reverse their operation, releasing the clamp on the welded car seat adjuster 8. Then, under the operation of the rotary drive mechanism 4, the rotary table 3 rotates, aligning the next car seat adjuster 8 to be welded, which is placed on the clamping shielding mechanism 5 under the adjuster, below the clamping shielding assembly 27 on the adjuster, and repeating the aforementioned process to perform laser welding. Since the concepts of the closed loop, gear plate, and drive component 8 of the aforementioned car seat adjuster 8, as well as their corresponding operating mechanisms, are prior art, for example, see CN105691250A (Car Seat Adjuster), but not limited to the example, the applicant will not elaborate further.

[0043] The applicant should also explain that since the spline shaft 65 can push the clutch sleeve 54 to move upward, and since the driven gear 64 can drive the spline shaft 65 to rotate, and then the spline shaft 65 drives the clutch wheel 67 to rotate, and the clutch wheel 67 drives the clutch sleeve 54 that meshes with it to rotate, this does not contradict the applicant's statement above that a set of angle adjusters clamps the protective mechanism 5 to move up and down and rotate.

[0044] Preferably, by Figure 1 As shown, a rotary table anti-deformation support mechanism 9 is provided on the aforementioned working platform 1, and at the positions corresponding to the middle left and middle right sides of the aforementioned airborne support plate 61. The rotary table anti-deformation support mechanism 9 includes a roller frame fixing seat 91, a roller frame 92, and a roller 93. The roller frame fixing seat 91 is fixed to the aforementioned working platform 1 in a longitudinal state. The lower end of the roller frame 92 is vertically adjusted and connected to the upper end of the roller frame fixing seat 91, while the upper end of the roller frame 92 extends upward. The roller 93 is rotatably mounted on the upper end of the roller frame 92 through a roller shaft 931, and the roller 93 contacts the downward-facing side surface of the aforementioned rotary table 3 edge portion. Since the roller 93 can both guide and support the downward-facing edge of the rotary table 3, it can prevent deformation or even collapse of the rotary table 3 in stress-bearing areas, such as the parts of the rotary table 3 corresponding to the clutch mechanism 6 or the parts corresponding to the clutch sleeve 54 that clamps the protective mechanism 5 under the angle adjuster.

[0045] In summary, the technical solution provided by this utility model makes up for the shortcomings of the prior art, successfully completes the invention task, and faithfully realizes the technical effects described by the applicant in the above technical effect column.
