Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping device technology, and in particular to an anti-deformation clamping device in the automotive welding process. Background Technology

[0002] In automobile manufacturing, many components require extremely high dimensional accuracy. For example, the car frame, which forms the skeleton of the vehicle, directly affects the assembly quality of the entire frame through the precise positioning of its various components. Welding fixtures can accurately position the workpieces, ensuring that each component is in the correct position during welding.

[0003] Since automotive parts are not flat planes, when clamping irregular parts, the contact between the clamp and the surface of the part is usually insufficient and uneven. For example, for an automotive part with a complex curved surface, the clamp may only be able to contact and apply pressure in some protruding parts or relatively flat areas. In this case, the material of the part will undergo large deformation in the high-pressure area, causing damage to the part and affecting normal welding. Therefore, this application proposes an anti-deformation clamp device for automotive welding process.

[0004] content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to address the problem in the prior art that irregular parts are easily damaged when being welded and clamped, and to propose an anti-deformation clamping device for automobile welding process.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model: an anti-deformation clamping device for automobile welding, including a base plate, and further comprising:

[0007] Mounting columns are symmetrically and slidably mounted on a base plate. A mounting block is fixedly mounted on one side of each mounting column. A mounting cavity is mounted on one end of each mounting block. Multiple clamping blocks are slidably mounted at equal intervals on the mounting cavity. A placement plate is fixedly mounted on the base plate. A control mechanism is provided on the base plate to constrain and control the clamping force of each clamping block.

[0008] A cooling mechanism, which is mounted on the base plate, is used to dissipate heat evenly from the welded components.

[0009] Optionally, the control mechanism includes a pressure sensor fixedly installed at one end of the clamping block, multiple equally spaced electric telescopic rods fixedly installed in the mounting cavity, a controller installed inside the electric telescopic rod, a connecting block fixedly installed at one end of the electric telescopic rod, one end of the connecting block fixedly connected to the clamping block, the output end of the pressure sensor connected to the input end of the controller, a reset mechanism fixedly installed on one side of the mounting column, and the output ends of the controller and the reset mechanism connected to the input end of the motor driver inside the electric telescopic rod.

[0010] Optionally, the cooling mechanism includes a support column fixedly installed on one side of the base plate, a track plate fixedly installed on the support column, a slider slidably installed on the track plate, a reciprocating screw rotatably installed on the track plate, the reciprocating screw being threadedly connected to the slider, a guide plate fixedly installed at one end of the slider, the guide plate being hollow, and a plurality of equally spaced through holes on one side of the guide plate; an air pump fixedly installed on one side of the support column, and a connecting pipe fixedly installed on one side of the air pump, one end of the connecting pipe communicating with the slider.

[0011] Optionally, a sliding groove is provided on the base plate, and a threaded rod is rotatably installed in the sliding groove. A first motor is fixedly installed on one side of the base plate, and the output shaft of the first motor is fixedly connected to the threaded rod. The mounting post is slidably connected to the sliding groove, and the mounting post is threadedly connected to the threaded rod.

[0012] Optionally, a second motor is fixedly installed at one end of the support column, and the output shaft of the second motor is fixedly connected to a reciprocating lead screw.

[0013] Optionally, the track plate is provided with guide grooves, and the two ends of the slider are located in the guide grooves.

[0014] Optionally, a spring is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block, and one end of the spring is fixedly connected to the clamping block.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] This invention uses a first motor to move the mounting columns closer together, bringing the clamping blocks close to the component but not in contact with it. Then, an electric telescopic rod is activated to bring the clamping blocks into contact with the component. Simultaneously, a pressure sensor detects the pressure between the clamping blocks and the component. When the pressure reaches a threshold, the controller stops the electric telescopic rod until the pressure sensor at one end of the other clamping blocks detects that the pressure has reached the threshold. This achieves clamping of irregularly shaped objects, ensuring that the pressure at each clamping point is the same and preventing component deformation.

[0017] Furthermore, by starting the second motor to drive the reciprocating lead screw, the slider makes horizontal reciprocating motion on the track plate. In conjunction with starting the air pump, air is delivered into the guide plate and then discharged through the through holes on the guide plate, which fully cools the welded parts and improves processing efficiency and welding.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the anti-deformation clamping device for automobile welding proposed in this utility model includes a base plate 1 and a mounting column 2. The mounting column 2 is symmetrically and slidably mounted on the base plate 1. A mounting block 3 is fixedly mounted on one side of the mounting column 2. A mounting cavity 7 is mounted on one end of the mounting block 3. Multiple clamping blocks 24 are slidably mounted at equal distances on the mounting cavity 7. A placement plate 8 is fixedly mounted on the base plate 1 for placing the parts to be welded. A control mechanism is provided on the base plate 1 to constrain and control the clamping force of each clamping block 24.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, in this embodiment, the anti-deformation clamp device also includes a control mechanism. The control mechanism includes a pressure sensor 21 fixedly installed at one end of the clamping block 24. Multiple equidistantly arranged electric telescopic rods 18 are fixedly installed in the mounting cavity 7. A controller is installed inside each electric telescopic rod 18. A connecting block 19 is fixedly installed at one end of each electric telescopic rod 18, and one end of the connecting block 19 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 24. The output end of the pressure sensor 21 is connected to the input end of the controller. A reset mechanism 13 is fixedly installed on one side of the mounting column 2. The output ends of the controller and the reset mechanism 13 are connected to the input end of the motor driver inside the electric telescopic rod 18. When welding is required on the component on the placement plate 8, the mounting column 2 is moved so that the clamping blocks 24 on one side of the mounting column 2 move closer to each other, bringing them close to the component but not in contact with it. The electric... The electric telescopic rod 18 drives the connecting block 19 at one end to move. The connecting block 19 drives the clamping block 24 to contact the object. The pressure sensor 21 detects the pressure of the clamping block 24 on the component. When the set threshold is reached, the signal is transmitted to the controller inside the electric telescopic rod 18 at the threshold end. The controller controls the motor driver inside the electric telescopic rod 18 to stop running, stopping the clamping block 24 from squeezing the component. The other clamping blocks 24 are unaffected and continue to move normally until the pressure sensor 21 at one end reaches the threshold. This achieves control of the clamping pressure on the surface of the irregular workpiece, making the clamping pressure in each part the same and avoiding deformation of the component. After welding is completed, the reset mechanism 13 is activated to reset the stroke of all electric telescopic rods 18, which is convenient for clamping the component next time.

[0031] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the anti-deformation clamp device in this embodiment also includes a cooling mechanism. The cooling mechanism is set on the base plate 1 to uniformly dissipate heat from the welded parts. The cooling mechanism includes a support column 11 fixedly installed on one side of the base plate 1. A track plate 12 is fixedly installed on the support column 11. A slider 15 is slidably installed on the track plate 12. A reciprocating screw 22 is rotatably installed on the track plate 12. The reciprocating screw 22 is threadedly connected to the slider 15. A guide plate 16 is fixedly installed at one end of the slider 15. The guide plate 16 is hollow. A plurality of through holes 17 are arranged at equal intervals on one side of the guide plate 16. An air pump 9 is fixedly installed on one side of the support column 11. A connecting pipe 10 is fixedly installed on one side of the air pump 9. One end of the connecting pipe 10 is connected to the slider 15. After welding, the reciprocating screw 22 rotates, causing the slider 15 to perform horizontal reciprocating motion on the track plate 12. In conjunction with starting the air pump 9, external air is delivered into the guide plate 16 through the connecting pipe 10 and finally discharged through the through holes 17, thus fully cooling the welded parts.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, a sliding groove 5 is provided on the base plate 1, and a threaded rod 6 is rotatably installed in the sliding groove 5. A first motor 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the base plate 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 4 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 6. The mounting column 2 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 5, and the mounting column 2 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 6. A second motor 14 is fixedly installed at one end of the support column 11, and the output shaft of the second motor 14 is fixedly connected to the reciprocating lead screw 22. A guide groove 23 is provided on the track plate 12, and both ends of the slider 15 are located in the guide groove 23. A spring 20 is fixedly installed on one side of the connecting block 19, and one end of the spring 20 is fixedly connected to the clamping block 24.

[0033] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When welding is required on the component on the placement plate 8, the mounting column 2 is moved so that the clamping blocks 24 on one side of the mounting column 2 are close to each other, so that they are close to the component but not in contact with it. The electric telescopic rod 18 is activated, and the electric telescopic rod 18 drives the connecting block 19 at one end to move. The connecting block 19 drives the clamping block 24 to contact the object. The pressure sensor 21 detects the pressure of the clamping block 24 on the component. When the set threshold is reached, the signal is transmitted to the controller inside the electric telescopic rod 18 at the end that has reached the threshold. The controller controls the motor driver inside the electric telescopic rod 18 to stop running, stopping the clamping block 24 from contacting the component. During the compression, the other clamping blocks 24 remain unaffected and continue to move normally until the pressure sensor 21 at one end reaches the threshold. This controls the clamping pressure on the irregular workpiece surface, ensuring that the clamping pressure is the same at each part and preventing component deformation. After welding, the reciprocating screw 22 rotates, causing the slider 15 to reciprocate horizontally on the track plate 12. In conjunction with starting the air pump 9, external air is delivered into the guide plate 16 through the connecting pipe 10 and finally discharged through the through hole 17, providing sufficient cooling for the welded component. This achieves clamping of irregular components, ensuring that the pressure at each clamping point is the same, preventing component deformation, and improving processing efficiency.

[0034] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
