Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery tray processing technology, and in particular to a tooling for processing side beams. Background Technology
[0002] With the development and popularization of new energy vehicles, the power battery technology of new energy vehicles has also made significant progress. As the power source of new energy vehicles, the design and installation of power batteries are of paramount importance. Power batteries are installed on vehicles through battery trays. Currently, battery trays mainly consist of side beams and chassis. In the processing and production of battery trays, the side beams and chassis need to be processed separately before being welded together.
[0003] However, due to the irregular structure of the side beam, the existing positioning method in the separate processing and production of the side beam is to fix it manually with a bench vise on the machine tool. This method is inefficient and labor-intensive. When multiple sides of the side beam need to be processed, multiple positioning is required when flipping the workpiece. The repeated positioning accuracy is poor and it is easy to cause product processing defects. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model discloses a tooling for edge beam processing. This utility model can not only provide a firm and stable adaptive horizontal support for the edge beam, but also make it firm and stable to rotate and adjust during the edge beam processing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A tooling for processing edge beams includes two support seats arranged opposite each other, and a base plate between the two support seats for horizontally supporting the edge beam and capable of being flipped and adjusted. Several limiting mechanisms are provided on both sides of the base plate, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the base plate and are used to support or press and limit the edge beam.
[0007] Furthermore, the limiting mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder and a limiting rod. The telescopic cylinder is arranged perpendicularly to the base plate, and the output end of the telescopic cylinder is provided with a limiting rod perpendicular to the telescopic cylinder.
[0008] Furthermore, one end of the limit rod is rotatably connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder.
[0009] Furthermore, a bracket is provided on one side of the limiting mechanism, and a sensing control mechanism for sensing the cutting tool and controlling the limiting mechanism to avoid it is provided on the upper part of the bracket facing the adjacent limiting mechanism.
[0010] Furthermore, the sensing control mechanism includes a photoelectric sensor mounted on the bracket, external sensors mounted on the upper and lower surfaces of the limit rod, and a control system for receiving sensing signals and issuing control signals.
[0011] Furthermore, the base plate surface is provided with several machining clearance holes that penetrate the base plate.
[0012] Furthermore, an end positioning plate is provided at one end of the base plate surface.
[0013] Furthermore, one side of the base plate is provided with several side positioning plates that are staggered with the limiting mechanism.
[0014] Furthermore, the bottom plate surface is provided with several auxiliary support blocks, and the side of the auxiliary support block facing the middle of the bottom plate is an inclined surface that is adapted to the side beam.
[0015] Furthermore, the two support bases are rotatably connected to both ends of the base plate, and a drive motor for driving the base plate to rotate is provided on one side of each support base.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: through the cooperation of the base plate and the limiting mechanism, not only can the side beam to be processed be provided with a firm and stable horizontal support, but the side beam can also be rotated and adjusted according to processing needs, which greatly facilitates the production and processing of the side beam.
[0017] The limiting mechanism, consisting of a telescopic cylinder and a limiting rod, can support or press the side beams by cooperating with the limiting mechanisms on both sides, greatly improving the limiting and fixing effect of the side beams.
[0018] The limiting rod, which is connected by a rotatable mechanism, can be rotated and adjusted according to actual needs to avoid interference with the subsequent processing of the side beam.
[0019] By setting machining clearance holes, the cutting tool can be avoided during the drilling operation of the side beam, thus preventing cutting wear between the cutting tool and the base plate;
[0020] By setting side positioning plates and end positioning plates, auxiliary positioning of the side beam can be achieved, providing strong support for the horizontal stability limit of the side beam;
[0021] By setting up an induction controller, the limiting mechanism that interferes with the cutting of the edge beam can be individually driven and adjusted during the cutting process, so that the telescopic cylinder retracts or extends, thereby avoiding the limiting rod from interfering with the cutting of the tool.
[0022] This invention not only provides robust and stable adaptive horizontal support for the edge beam, but also enables robust and stable flipping and adjustment during edge beam processing, greatly improving the processing efficiency of the edge beam and reducing the operational difficulty for workers.

[0027] The technical solution of this utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of this utility model. In the description, it should be understood that if there are terms such as "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right" indicating the orientation or positional relationship, they are only corresponding to the drawings of this utility model for the convenience of describing this utility model, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation.
[0028] Please refer to the instruction manual appendix. Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0029] Example 1: A tooling for processing a side beam includes two support seats 1 arranged opposite to each other, and a base plate 2 for horizontally supporting the side beam is provided between the two support seats 1. The two support seats 1 are rotatably connected to both ends of the base plate 2, specifically through a rotating disk. A drive motor 8 for driving the base plate 2 to rotate is provided on one side of each support seat 1. The drive motor 8 transmits rotational power to the base plate 2 through a transmission system such as gears, belts, and chains, thereby driving it to rotate and adjust.
[0030] Several limiting mechanisms 4 are provided on both sides of the base plate 2, which are spaced apart along the axial direction of the base plate 2 and are used to support or press and limit the side beams. Specifically, the limiting mechanism 4 includes a telescopic cylinder 10 and a limiting rod 9. The telescopic cylinder 10 is perpendicular to the base plate 2 and can be fixedly installed on the base plate 2 by bolts. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 10 is provided with a limiting rod 9 perpendicular to the telescopic cylinder 10. The inner telescopic cylinder 10 of the several limiting mechanisms 4 can be a pneumatic telescopic cylinder.
[0031] When fixing the side beam on the base plate 2, multiple limiting mechanisms 4 can be used in conjunction to support or press and limit the side beam according to its size and specifications. For example, for the limiting mechanism 4 corresponding to the suspended part of the side beam, the bottom of the suspended part of the side beam can be supported by the output end of the telescopic cylinder 10 and the limiting rod 9. For the limiting mechanism 4 corresponding to the non-suspended part of the side beam, the output end of the telescopic cylinder 10 can be lowered and the limiting rod 9 can be used to press and limit the side beam. Through the cooperation of multiple limiting mechanisms 4, the side beam can be firmly and stably fixed, providing strong support for the subsequent processing and flipping of the side beam.
[0032] In Example 2, since the side beam is an irregular structure, in order to ensure that the limiting rod 9 can provide firm and stable support or compression to the side beam according to the actual situation, one end of the limiting rod 9 is rotatably connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 10. When supporting or compressing the side beam, the operator can rotate the limiting rod 9 to make it more suitable for supporting or compressing the side beam.
[0033] In Example 3, during the cutting and drilling process of the side beam, if the edge of the side beam needs to be processed, the limiting mechanism 4 is very likely to interfere with the tool and affect the subsequent processing operation. In order to avoid the limiting mechanism 4 affecting the cutting process of the tool, a bracket 12 is provided on one side of the limiting mechanism 4. The upper part of the bracket 12 facing the adjacent limiting mechanism 4 is provided with a sensing control mechanism 11 for sensing the tool and controlling the avoidance of the limiting mechanism 4. The sensing control mechanism 11 includes a photoelectric sensor installed on the bracket 12, an external sensor installed on the upper and lower surfaces of the limiting rod 9, and a control system for receiving sensing signals and issuing control signals. The external sensor and the photoelectric sensor both transmit wireless signals to the control system. The external sensor, the photoelectric sensor and the control system can be powered by an external power supply. During the processing, if the tool is close to the limiting mechanism 4, the photoelectric sensor will send a control signal after sensing the tool. After receiving the control signal, the control system will combine with the external sensors on the upper and lower surfaces of the limiting rod 9 to realize the extension or retraction control of the output end of the telescopic cylinder 10.
[0034] For example, when the limiting rod 9 in the limiting mechanism 4 is located at the lower part of the side beam to support it, the external sensor on the upper surface of the limiting rod 9 will inevitably contact the side beam and send a sensing signal to the controller. When the photoelectric sensor senses the tool, it sends a control signal. After receiving the control signal from the photoelectric sensor, the control system combines the sensing signal sent by the external sensor and issues a retraction command to the telescopic cylinder 10. Conversely, when the limiting rod 9 of the limiting mechanism 4 is located at the upper part of the side beam and presses down on it, the external sensor on the lower surface of the limiting rod 9 will inevitably contact the side beam. After receiving the control signal from the photoelectric sensor, the control system combines the sensing signal sent by the external sensor and issues an extension command to the telescopic cylinder 10. After the output end of the telescopic cylinder 10 extends or retracts, the operator can rotate and adjust the limiting rod 9 to move it away from the tool, providing support for the subsequent machining of the side beam by the tool. Since the side beam is limited and fixed by multiple limiting mechanisms 4, when one limiting mechanism 4 is controlled by the sensing control mechanism 11, the other limiting mechanisms 4 can still ensure stable limiting and fixing of the side beam.
[0035] In Example 4, when processing the side beam, drilling is necessary. To avoid damage to the tool from friction between the tool and the base plate 2 during drilling, the base plate 2 is provided with several processing clearance holes 3 that penetrate the base plate 2. The positions of the processing clearance holes 3 can correspond to the processing positions of the holes drilled on the side beam. It is only necessary to align the holes to be processed with the processing clearance holes 3 when fixing the side beam.
[0036] In Example 5, to ensure the firmness and stability of the side beam during installation, the installation position of the side beam is precisely limited. One end of the bottom plate 2 is provided with an end positioning plate 7 that abuts against the end of the side beam. Several side positioning plates 5 are provided on one side of the bottom plate 2, which are staggered with the limiting mechanism 4 and are used to abut against and limit the side of the side beam. Several auxiliary support blocks 6 are provided on the bottom plate 2. The side of the auxiliary support block 6 facing the middle of the bottom plate 2 is an inclined surface that is adapted to the side beam.
