[0025] The utility model provides a kind of special-shaped workpiece welding fixed tool as Figures 1-4 As shown in the drawing, it includes:
[0026] Base 1, the top of the base 1 one end is connected with stand 2, and the stand 2 is slidably connected with cross bar 3;

[0028] The sleeve 7 is connected with a spring 9, one end of the spring 9 is connected with the fixed rod 8, when it is needed to clamp the special-shaped workpiece, the workpiece is placed between the first clamping block 5 and the second clamping block 6, because the surface profile of the special-shaped workpiece is irregular, the convex pad 10 at the end of the fixed rod 8 will first contact the surface of the workpiece, at this time, the spring 9 will be deformed according to the shape and position of the surface of the workpiece, if the surface of the workpiece has a protrusion, the spring 9 will be compressed, if there is a recess, the spring 9 will be elongated, so that the fixed rod 8 can adaptively adjust the position, to ensure that the convex pad 10 is always closely attached to the surface of the workpiece.
[0029] The end of the fixed rod 8 outside the sleeve 7 is connected with a convex pad 10, the bottom of the first clamping block 5 is connected with a guide block 11, and one end of the guide block 11 slidably penetrates the opening 12 in the middle of the machining table 4.
[0030] One end of the machining table 4 is provided with a first air cylinder 13, the piston rod of the first air cylinder 13 movably penetrates the machining table 4 and is connected with the guide block 11, one end of the guide block 11 inside the machining table 4 is rotatably connected with a roller 14, during the movement of the guide block 11, the roller 14 will contact and roll on the corresponding track or surface inside the machining table 4, this rolling mode changes the original sliding friction between the guide block 11 and the machining table 4 into rolling friction, so that the first clamping block 5 moves more smoothly.
[0031] The bottom of the cross bar 3 is rotatably connected with a turntable 15 through a bearing, the top of the cross bar 3 is provided with a motor 16, and the output shaft of the motor 16 rotatably penetrates the cross bar 3 and is connected with the turntable 15, when the turntable 15 rotates, it will drive the laser welding gun 18 to make circular motion, in cooperation with the sliding of the laser welding gun 18 in the sliding groove 17, the laser welding gun 18 can reach any position in the circular range with the bearing as the center, so that the angle and position of the laser welding gun 18 can be flexibly adjusted according to the different shapes of the special-shaped workpiece and the welding requirements, and the special-shaped workpiece can be welded in all directions.
[0032] The bottom center of the turntable 15 is provided with a sliding groove 17, and the laser welding gun 18 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 17, a guide rod 19 is connected in the sliding groove 17, and one end of the laser welding gun 18 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 19, the sliding groove 17 provides an accurate sliding track for the laser welding gun 18, ensuring that it can move stably at the bottom of the turntable 15, and the guide rod 19 further enhances the stability and accuracy of the sliding of the laser welding gun 18, which is slidably sleeved with one end of the laser welding gun 18, preventing the welding gun from deviating or shaking during movement.
[0033] The second air cylinder 20 is arranged in the turntable 15, and the piston rod of the second air cylinder 20 is connected with the laser welding gun 18.
[0034] The top of the support frame 2 is equipped with a third cylinder 21, and the piston rod of the third cylinder 21 is connected to the crossbar 3. The piston rod of the third cylinder 21 can drive the crossbar 3 to slide up and down inside the support frame 2, so that the crossbar 3 is adjusted to a suitable vertical position.
[0035] This welding fixture for irregularly shaped workpieces allows the operator to place the workpiece on the processing table 4 and then control the first cylinder 13 to start via the intelligent controller (not shown in the attached diagram) on the base 1. The piston rod of the first cylinder 13 extends or retracts, pushing the guide block 11 to slide within the opening 12 of the processing table 4. This, in turn, causes the first clamping block 5 to move closer to or further away from the second clamping block 6. When the first clamping block 5 approaches the workpiece, the convex pad 10 at the end of the fixing rod 8 contacts the workpiece surface. The elastic force of the spring 9 causes the fixing rod 8 to move into the sleeve 7 to adaptively adjust its position, ensuring that the convex pad 10 is in close contact with the workpiece surface. Thus, by the simultaneous action of multiple fixing points on the first clamping block 5 and the second clamping block 6, the irregularly shaped workpiece can be stably clamped.
[0036] After the irregularly shaped workpiece is stably clamped, the intelligent controller sends a command to the third cylinder 21. The piston rod of the third cylinder 21 drives the crossbar 3 to slide up and down in the stand 2, adjusting the crossbar 3 to a suitable vertical position. Then, the intelligent controller starts the motor 16. The output shaft of the motor 16 drives the turntable 15 to rotate. The angle sensor at the bottom of the turntable 15 (not shown in the figure) monitors the rotation angle of the turntable 15 in real time and feeds the data back to the intelligent controller, so that the turntable 15 rotates to the specified angle, thereby adjusting the angle of the laser welding gun 18 so that it is aligned with the welding part of the irregularly shaped workpiece. At the same time, the operator can control the second cylinder 20 to start according to the angle of the turntable 15 through the intelligent controller. The piston rod of the second cylinder 20 pushes the laser welding gun 18 to slide along the guide rod 19 in the slide groove 17, realizing the fine adjustment of the laser welding gun 18 in the horizontal direction, ensuring that the distance and angle between the welding gun and the workpiece welding point are correct.
[0037] Then, the laser welding gun 18 is controlled by the intelligent controller to perform welding operations. After welding is completed, the intelligent controller controls the laser welding gun 18 to be turned off. It first sends a control command to the second cylinder 20 to make the laser welding gun 18 return to the initial position, and then sends a command to the third cylinder 21 to raise the crossbar 3 to avoid the welding gun from colliding with the workpiece. Then, it sends a command to the first cylinder 13 to make the first clamping block 5 move away from the second clamping block 6, releasing the clamp on the irregular workpiece. The operator can then take out the welded workpiece and complete the entire welding process.
[0038] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
