[0038] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0039] Example 1
[0040] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0041] An apparatus for welding aluminum honeycomb panels, comprising:
[0042] Rack 1;
[0043] Two double Y modules 3 are located at the top of the frame 1, and an X module 2 is located at the top of each of the two double Y modules 3.
[0044] Z module 4 is located above X module 2, and two welding devices 8 are provided on the outer surface of Z module 4;
[0045] Laser 5, laser 5 is mounted on one side of frame 1, and a water chiller 6 is mounted on one side of laser 5; and
[0046] A clamping mechanism is provided on the upper side of the frame 1 to clamp and limit the welded aluminum honeycomb panel.
[0047] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the frame 1 serves as the basic structure of the entire device, supporting and fixing all other components to ensure that no displacement or deformation occurs during welding. The dual Y-module 3 and X-module 2 provide movement capabilities in both the Y-axis and X-axis directions, allowing the welding head to reach different positions on the workpiece surface. The dual Y-module 3 is mounted on the upper end of the frame 1, and the X-module 2 is mounted on top of it. Both consist of a precision linear guide rail system driven by servo motors, allowing the welding head to move precisely along a straight path. The Z-module 4 provides vertical movement in the Z-axis direction, adjusting the height of the welding head relative to the workpiece to ensure correct focal length during welding. The Z-module 4 is mounted on top of the X-module 2 and its lifting action is also controlled by a servo motor. The laser 5 generates a laser beam for welding, and the water chiller 6 provides cooling for the laser 5. To provide cooling and prevent overheating from affecting performance or causing damage, laser 5 is placed on one side of rack 1, while water chiller 6 is placed next to laser 5. Cooling is achieved through circulating cold water via pipes. The heat generated by laser 5 is conducted to the coolant and then carried away by water chiller 6. This solves the problem of needing manual welding and avoids the phenomenon of many weld points and slow efficiency. It meets the welding needs of large-volume aluminum honeycomb panels, realizes automatic, efficient and precise rapid welding of products, and reduces the waste of time and human resources. It should be noted that the specific model of X module 2, dual Y module 3, Z module 4, laser 5 and water chiller 6 used shall be selected by those skilled in the art. The above-mentioned X module 2, dual Y module 3, Z module 4, laser 5 and water chiller 6 are all existing technologies and will not be described in detail in this solution.
[0048] Please refer to the details. Figure 2 The clamping mechanism includes:
[0049] Mounting base 9 is fixedly connected to the upper end of frame 1. A motor 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of mounting base 9. Lead screws 11 are fixedly connected to both output ends of motor 10. One end of each lead screw 11 can movably penetrate the inner surface of mounting base 9.
[0050] Two nuts 14 are threadedly connected to the circumferential surfaces of two lead screws 11 respectively. One side of each nut 14 is rotatably connected to a clamping block 15 via a rotating shaft.
[0051] A limiting component is provided on the upper side of the frame 1 and connected to the sliding nut 14 to limit the sliding nut 14.
[0052] In this embodiment: the motor 10 is fixed at its two output ends and at one end of the two lead screws 11. When the motor 10 is started to rotate, it drives the two lead screws 11 to rotate. Under the action of force, the two nuts 14 slide on the threaded surfaces of the two lead screws 11, and at the same time, it drives the two clamping blocks 15 to move towards the center, thus completing the function of clamping the aluminum honeycomb panel to be placed and welded. It should be noted that the specific model of motor 10 used can be selected by those skilled in the art, and the above-mentioned 10 and other components are all prior art, which will not be elaborated in this solution.
[0053] Please refer to the details. Figure 2 The limiting components include:
[0054] Two limiting rods 12 are fixedly connected to the inner surface of the mounting base 9, and the inner surfaces of the two nuts 14 and the outer surfaces of the two limiting rods 12 are slidably connected respectively.
[0055] In this embodiment, the two nuts 14 slide on the surfaces of the two limiting rods 12, thereby limiting the sliding of the two nuts 14 and ensuring the stability of the two nuts 14 when sliding.
[0056] Please refer to the details. Figure 4 It also includes two sets of elastic mechanisms, which include:
[0057] Two connecting seats 16 are fixedly connected to the outer surfaces of the clamping block 15 and the nut 14 respectively. The adjacent ends of the two connecting seats 16 are fixedly connected to the sliding shell 17 and the connecting pad 21 respectively.
[0058] The sliding rod 20 is fixedly connected to one end of the connecting pad 21, and the outer surface of the sliding rod 20 is slidably connected to the inner surface of the sliding shell 17.
[0059] A support assembly is disposed within the sliding housing 17 and connected to the sliding rod 20 to support the sliding rod 20.
[0060] In this embodiment: the two connecting seats 16 facilitate the installation of the sliding shell 17 and the connecting pad 21. The sliding rod 20 is connected by the fixed connecting pad 21, thereby buffering the sliding rod 20. The sliding shell 17 protects the internal spring 18 and the pressing seat 19. The spring 18 extends in length under the action of elastic force, and the pressing seat 19 is pushed outward under the action of force, thereby supporting the sliding clamping block 15.
[0061] Please refer to the details. Figure 4 Each set of support components includes:
[0062] Spring 18 is disposed on the inner surface of sliding shell 17. A pressing seat 19 is slidably connected to the inner surface of sliding shell 17. One end of pressing seat 19 is fixedly connected to the other end of sliding rod 20.
[0063] In this embodiment: the length is stretched under the action of the elastic force of the spring 18, and the pressing seat 19 is pushed outward under the action of the force, which plays the role of supporting the sliding clamping block 15.
[0064] Please refer to the details. Figure 2 Two limit seats 13 are respectively provided on the outer surfaces of the two lead screws 11 and the two limit rods 12, and one side of the two limit seats 13 is fixedly connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the mounting base 9.
[0065] In this embodiment, two fixed limiting seats 13 limit the rotation of the two lead screws 11, preventing the two lead screws 11 from tilting during rotation and ensuring the stability of the two lead screws 11 during rotation.
[0066] Please refer to the details. Figure 2 The outer surfaces of both clamping blocks 15 are Z-shaped, and the inner surfaces of both clamping blocks 15 are fixedly connected with clamping pads 7.
[0067] In this embodiment, the clamping block 15 directly contacts and grips the workpiece with the clamping pad 7. The clamping pad 7 can increase friction, prevent slippage, and reduce damage to the workpiece surface. The clamping block 15 is designed in a Z-shape to adapt to workpieces of different thicknesses, while the clamping pad 7 is made of a soft but wear-resistant material, such as rubber or Teflon, which can provide good grip without scratching the sheet metal.
[0068] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: First, the drive motor 10 drives the two lead screws 11 to rotate. Under the action of force, the two nuts 14 slide on the threaded surfaces of the two lead screws 11, while the two clamping blocks 15 move towards the center to clamp the aluminum honeycomb panel to be welded. Then, the aluminum honeycomb panel is spot-welded manually. Next, the start button of the machine is pressed, which drives the double Y module 3 to adjust the X module 2 in front and back position. At the same time, the X module 2 drives the Z module 4 to adjust the Z module 4 in left and right position. Finally, the Z module 4 drives the two welding devices 8 to adjust their position and height, so that the three-axis module automatically moves to the welding position to complete the fully automatic, fast and efficient welding of the two welding devices 8. After one piece is welded, another piece is spot-welded manually, and then the automatic welding is started again, and so on.
[0069] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
