[0003] Currently, although traditional vibration friction welding equipment can meet most production needs, it still has certain limitations when dealing with complex-shaped parts or applications with high precision requirements. In particular, in the fastening process, traditional bolt connection methods are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also difficult to ensure that the tightening force is consistent every time, which directly affects the welding quality. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a fastening mechanism for vibration friction welding, which overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art and aims to solve the problems in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application adopts the following technical solution: a fastening mechanism for vibration friction welding, comprising a base, four fixing mechanisms symmetrically distributed on the surface of the base, a movable arm hinged to the top of the base, a pressure plate rotatably connected to the top of the movable arm, a moving rod rotatably connected to the side of the pressure plate away from the movable arm, the moving rod rotatably connected to the base, a moving mechanism on the surface of the movable arm, a soft pad at the bottom of the moving mechanism, a connecting mechanism between the soft pad and the moving mechanism, a reset mechanism between the movable arm and the base, the reset mechanism comprising a sliding rod rotatably connected to the movable arm, a sleeve rod slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod, a second spring fixedly connected to the bottom of the sliding rod, a moving plate fixedly connected to the side of the second spring away from the sliding rod, the moving plate slidably connected to the sleeve rod, a second bolt rotatably connected to the bottom of the moving plate, the second bolt threadedly connected to the base, and a positioning mechanism on the outside of the movable arm.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes a mounting hole formed on the surface of the base, and a first bolt is provided inside the mounting hole, the first bolt being threadedly connected to the base.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the first bolt is limited by the mounting hole, and the base is fixed in the designated location by rotating the first bolt, which can better fix the base.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the moving mechanism includes a first mounting frame, which is slidably connected to the movable arm. A lead screw is slidably connected inside the first mounting frame, and a second mounting frame is fixedly connected to the outside of the lead screw. A fixed seat is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lead screw, and a nut is provided on the top of the first mounting frame. The nut is threadedly connected to the lead screw.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the first mounting bracket and the second mounting bracket are sleeved on the outside of the movable arm, and the fixed seat is moved by pulling the screw. Then, the nut is rotated to make the nut abut against the first mounting bracket, and the first mounting bracket abuts against the movable arm to position the second mounting bracket.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the soft gasket is connected to the fixed seat by inserting the insert block into the interior of the connecting block, and then the insert rod is supported by the third spring and positioned by the insert rod. When it is necessary to disassemble the soft gasket, press the rod to make the rod enter the interior of the insert block, and then pull the soft gasket to make the connecting block separate from the surface of the insert block, thus completing the disassembly. This can better connect the soft gasket and the fixed seat.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, a wear-resistant layer is fixedly connected to the outside of the base, and the wear-resistant layer increases the wear resistance of the base, thus extending the service life of the base.

[0018] The beneficial effects of this application are:

[0019] 1. This vibration friction welding fastening mechanism comprises a sliding rod, a second spring, a sleeve rod, a moving plate, and a second bolt. The movable arm applies pressure to the workpiece under external thrust, while the sliding rod slides inside the sleeve rod, compressing the second spring. The second spring is then compressed and stores energy. After welding, the pressure on the movable arm is released, and the second spring quickly extends back to its natural length, causing the movable arm and sliding rod to reset. During this process, the constant restoring force provided by the second spring ensures that the fixed seat maintains a stable clamping force, guaranteeing welding quality regardless of workpiece changes. When adjusting the preload of the second spring, the second bolt is rotated to move the moving plate inside the sleeve rod, thus adjusting the preload. This avoids the problems of traditional bolt connections, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also difficult to ensure consistent tightening force each time, directly affecting welding quality and improving practicality.

[0020] 2. This vibration friction welding fastening mechanism, by setting up a plug rod, a connecting block, a plug block and a third spring, connects the soft gasket to the fixed seat by inserting the plug block into the interior of the connecting block, and then the third spring supports the plug rod and the plug rod positions the plug block. When it is necessary to disassemble the soft gasket, press the rod to make the rod enter the interior of the plug block, and then pull the soft gasket to make the connecting block detach from the surface of the plug block, thus completing the disassembly. This avoids the problem of traditional devices being unable to disassemble the soft gasket, and improves practicality. Attached Figure Description

The third spring 64 supports the insert rod 61, and the insert rod 61 positions the insert block 63. When it is necessary to disassemble the soft pad 7, the rod 61 is pressed to enter the inside of the insert block 63, and the soft pad 7 is pulled to disassemble the connecting block 62 from the surface of the insert block 63, thus completing the disassembly. This allows for a better connection between the soft pad 7 and the fixed seat 35.

[0030] Reference Figures 1-3 A reset mechanism 5 is provided between the movable arm 9 and the base 1. The reset mechanism 5 includes a sliding rod 51, which is rotatably connected to the movable arm 9. A sleeve rod 53 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 51.

[0033] Working principle: The first bolt 21 is limited by the mounting hole 22, and the base 1 is fixed in the designated position by rotating the first bolt 21. Then, the first mounting bracket 33 and the second mounting bracket 34 are sleeved on the outside of the movable arm 9. The pull screw 31 drives the fixed seat 35 to move. Then, the nut 32 is rotated to make the nut 32 abut against the first mounting bracket 33. Then, the first mounting bracket 33 abuts against the movable arm 9 to position the second mounting bracket 34. Finally, the insert block 63 is inserted into the connecting block 6. The soft pad 7 is connected to the fixed base 35 inside the 2, and the insertion rod 61 is supported by the third spring 64. The insertion rod 61 then positions the insertion block 63. When it is necessary to disassemble the soft pad 7, press the rod 61 to make the rod 61 enter the interior of the insertion block 63, and then pull the soft pad 7 to make the connecting block 62 disengage from the surface of the insertion block 63, thus completing the disassembly. Then, pull the handle 11 to drive the moving rod 8 to move, and the moving rod 8 will drive the pressure plate 10, and the pressure plate 10 will then move... The downward pressure drives the movable arm 9 to move. Under the action of external thrust, the movable arm 9 applies pressure to the workpiece. Then, the sliding rod 51 slides inside the sleeve rod 53, and the sliding rod 51 squeezes the second spring 52. The second spring 52 is compressed and stores energy. The positioning frame 43 limits the positioning rod 41. The positioning rod 41 passes through the base 1 and inserts into the surface of the movable arm 9 to position the movable arm 9. After welding is completed, the positioning rod 41 is pulled to disengage from the interior of the movable arm 9, releasing the pressure on the movable arm 9. The second spring 52 quickly extends back to its natural length, driving the movable arm 9 and the sliding rod 51 to reset. During this process, due to the constant restoring force provided by the second spring 52, the fixed seat 35 can always maintain a stable clamping force, ensuring welding quality regardless of changes in the workpiece. When it is necessary to adjust the preload of the second spring 52, the second bolt 55 is rotated to move the moving plate 54 inside the sleeve rod 53 to adjust the preload of the second spring 52.
