Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a clamping structure for laser welding of automotive parts. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of automotive parts, profiles need to be laser welded to other components. During the laser welding process, the components to be welded need to be clamped and fixed.

[0003] Laser welding requires fixing the position of the workpiece. However, during the fixing process using a clamping device, vibrations can easily occur due to the repeated opening and closing of the clamping device. This causes the clamping components in the clamping device to gradually loosen, resulting in reduced clamping tightness, inaccurate welding, and a tendency to cause missed welds. This necessitates re-welding, reducing production efficiency and increasing production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping structure for laser welding of automotive parts, so as to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clamping structure for laser welding of automotive parts, including an operating frame, a mechanical mounting mechanism is provided in the upper part of the operating frame, a cylinder is provided in the inner cavity of the mechanical mounting mechanism, the telescopic end of the cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of a push rod, the push rod passes through a slide rail opened in the mechanical mounting mechanism, and a first pressure plate is detachably installed at its end through a sleeve, and a second pressure plate corresponding to the first pressure plate is provided in the lower part of the operating frame, the second pressure plate is installed on the base plate through a spring buffer.

[0006] Both the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate are provided with elastic blocks, and each elastic block is provided with an airbag mounting cavity, which is provided with a plurality of airbags.

[0007] The spring buffer includes a screw, two nuts and a spring. The screw passes through the skirt plate on the periphery of the second pressure plate and is screwed into the screw groove of the base plate. One nut is screwed onto the screw, and then the spring is sleeved on the screw, and the other nut is also screwed onto the screw.

[0008] The bottom end of the screw is provided with several threaded holes around its circumference. The threaded rod is inserted into the rod channel on the substrate, and its end is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby limiting the position of the screw.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0010] Both the first and second pressure plates of this utility model are provided with elastic blocks. Each elastic block has an airbag mounting cavity, and several airbags are provided in the airbag mounting cavity. The elastic blocks enhance the clamping force on the workpiece while avoiding damage to the workpiece surface. The deformation of the airbags enhances the deformation of the elastic block surface, thus satisfying the clamping of workpieces of different shapes and specifications.

[0011] The push rod of this utility model passes through a slide rail opened in the mechanical mounting mechanism, and the end is detachably mounted with a first pressure plate via a sleeve. The second pressure plate is mounted on the base plate via a spring buffer. Both the first and second pressure plates can be disassembled and replaced and then reinstalled. The spring buffer includes a screw, two nuts and a spring. The screw passes through the skirt plate around the second pressure plate and is screwed into the screw groove of the base plate. One nut is screwed onto the screw, and then the spring is sleeved on the screw, and the other nut is also screwed onto the screw. When the second pressure plate vibrates, the spring can weaken the vibration force and ensure the stability of the second pressure plate.

[0012] The screw of this invention has several threaded holes around its bottom edge. The threaded rod is inserted into the rod channel on the substrate, and its end is screwed into the threaded hole, thereby limiting the screw position and further stabilizing the second pressure plate.

[0013] This invention improves clamping tightness, ensures precise welding, reduces the risk of incomplete welding, and increases production efficiency while lowering production costs by using a spring buffer component. Attached Figure Description
