Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding fixture technology, and in particular to a fixture fixing device for welding electrodes of ion sources. Background Technology

[0002] Welding of molybdenum tubes and stainless steel bases is widely used in the manufacture of ion source extraction electrodes, high-temperature equipment, and vacuum devices. However, due to the significant difference in thermal expansion coefficients and melting points between molybdenum and stainless steel, as well as the thermal stress and welding deformation that easily occur during the welding process, it is difficult to guarantee the joint quality and dimensional accuracy. Patent CN113210781A, entitled "A Welding Device and Welding Process for Molybdenum Tube Electrode and Stainless Steel Electrode Support," discloses a welding device for molybdenum tube electrodes and stainless steel electrode supports. The device includes a base plate with a molybdenum tube electrode tray fixture on the base plate. Multiple molybdenum tube electrodes are placed parallel and spaced apart on top of the molybdenum tube electrode tray fixture, with both ends extending beyond the fixture. Stainless steel electrode support clamping fixtures are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the molybdenum tube electrode tray fixture. The stainless steel electrode support clamping fixtures include a lower clamping fixture for clamping the bottom of the stainless steel electrode support onto the base plate, and an upper clamping fixture for clamping the top of the stainless steel electrode support onto both sides of the molybdenum tube electrode. Although it achieves the fixation of molybdenum tubes and stainless steel supports, it lacks effective control over welding deformation and can only be used for welding one type of electrode, resulting in high production costs and low welding accuracy. In view of the above reasons, this application proposes a high-precision fixture suitable for welding various molybdenum tubes and stainless steel supports. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems existing in the background technology by proposing a high-precision fixture suitable for welding various molybdenum tubes and stainless steel supports.

The base plate is provided with a plurality of eighth through holes arranged in a horizontal array. The substrate and the base plate are positioned and connected by bolts installed in the sixth through hole and the eighth through hole.

[0006] It also includes a support and positioning module consisting of M6 screws;

[0007] It also includes a molybdenum tube fixing module consisting of a clamping bracket, a square nut, an upper molybdenum strip, and an M3 hexagon socket head cap screw. The end face of the clamping bracket has two fourth through holes and multiple M3 threaded holes arranged in an array along its length. The square nut has a ninth through hole.

[0011] Optionally, the welding fixture fixing device further includes a molybdenum tube heat compensation module, which includes an upper pressure block and a lower pressure block, and the upper pressure block and the lower pressure block are connected by an M6 screw.

[0012] Optionally, the M6 ​​screw is rotatably connected with an upper adjusting nut and a lower adjusting nut, which are located on both sides of the lower pressure block of the molybdenum tube.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] Furthermore, the upper and lower molybdenum strips are made of pure molybdenum of the same purity as the molybdenum tube, so that they have the same coefficient of thermal expansion as the molybdenum tube. This ensures that the molybdenum tube and the upper and lower molybdenum strips expand synchronously during the welding process, thereby ensuring that the support and the molybdenum tube expand and contract synchronously in the horizontal direction, thus achieving the purpose of controlling deformation and effectively ensuring welding accuracy.

[0016] Furthermore, by setting up upper and lower adjusting nuts, the support, clamping and adjustment of the molybdenum tube clamping module and the molybdenum tube heat uniformity module can be achieved, which is applicable to the welding and fixing of various electrode bases.

[0017] In summary, this utility model enables synchronous expansion and contraction of the support and the molybdenum tube, thereby controlling deformation, ensuring welding accuracy, reducing production costs, and achieving high-precision adjustment. Attached Figure Description
