Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of battery liquid cooling plate processing technology, specifically to an auxiliary tooling for welding the inlet and outlet water pipes of a battery liquid cooling plate. Background Technology

[0002] Liquid cooling plates are a core component of the thermal management system for new energy vehicle batteries. With the increasing demand for higher liquid cooling efficiency, more and more companies are placing liquid cooling plates on the sides of the battery. Placing the liquid cooling plate in the middle of the battery significantly increases the heat exchange area, allowing for large-area cooling and halving the battery temperature control time. For the processing of these new liquid cooling plates, the inlet and outlet water pipe joints need to be precisely welded to the liquid cooling plate body. In traditional welding processes, the liquid cooling plate and the inlet and outlet water pipe joints require manual positioning and fixing, which presents the following problems: 1. Low positioning accuracy: Manual operation cannot guarantee the perpendicularity of the inlet and outlet water pipe joints to the liquid cooling plate body, easily leading to misalignment and leakage after welding; 2. Poor stability: The liquid cooling plate is prone to displacement during welding, requiring repeated adjustments, resulting in low processing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned shortcomings, this utility model aims to provide an auxiliary tooling for welding the inlet and outlet water pipes of a battery liquid cooling plate. This utility model utilizes a grid-shaped frame and multiple mounting slots on the frame to achieve rapid positioning of the liquid cooling plate, secure the liquid cooling plate with locking screws, and precisely place the inlet and outlet water pipe joints in the grooves of the support columns. This gives the utility model advantages such as precise positioning, efficient clamping, and strong stability.

[0004] To achieve the above technical objectives, the following technical solutions were adopted:

[0005] A welding auxiliary fixture for the inlet and outlet water pipes of a battery liquid cooling plate comprises a grid-shaped frame formed by welding a pair of longitudinally spaced first support plates and a pair of transversely spaced second support plates perpendicularly to each other. The first support plate has a mounting groove at its front end for inserting a liquid cooling connecting plate. A locking nut is located on the front side of the mounting groove and is welded to the outer side of the front end of the first support plate, with a locking screw on it. A square base plate is located at the bottom inner side of the front end of the first support plate, and a support column is vertically positioned at the front end of the base plate. The top of the support column has a groove for placing the inlet and outlet water pipe connectors. Multiple mounting grooves are spaced apart on the second support plate for inserting liquid cooling side plates.

[0006] Furthermore, the number of mounting slots is five, with two located at the two ends of the second support plate and the remaining three spaced apart in the middle area of ​​the second support plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the first mounting groove and the second mounting groove have the same depth, and the width of the first mounting groove is greater than the width of the second mounting groove.

[0008] Furthermore, the first support plate and the second support plate are respectively provided with a plurality of spaced relief holes.

[0009] Furthermore, the locking nut is installed on the front side of the middle section of the mounting groove.

[0010] Furthermore, the sides of the base plate are respectively welded to the first support plate and the second support plate at the front end, and a trapezoidal reinforcing plate is vertically provided at the rear end of the base plate. The rear side of the trapezoidal reinforcing plate is welded to the second support plate at the front end, and the bottom is welded to the base plate.

[0011] Furthermore, triangular reinforcing plates are provided at the four corners of the grid frame formed by the first and second support plates.

[0012] Furthermore, the thickness of both the triangular reinforcing plate and the trapezoidal reinforcing plate is 1.1 to 1.5 times the thickness of the first support plate.

[0013] Furthermore, the end of the locking screw is provided with a polyurethane pressure block to avoid damaging the surface of the liquid cooling plate.

[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are:

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model provides an auxiliary tooling for welding the inlet and outlet water pipes of a battery liquid cooling plate. This utility model uses a grid-shaped frame formed by two perpendicular support plates, combined with triangular and trapezoidal reinforcing plates, to enhance the stability and resistance to deformation of the tooling. The first and second support plates are respectively provided with mounting grooves one and two, which, in conjunction with the support column grooves, enable rapid and precise positioning of the liquid cooling plate body and the inlet and outlet water pipe joints. The support columns are vertically mounted on the base plate to ensure the perpendicularity of the liquid cooling plate body and the inlet and outlet water pipe joints during welding. Simultaneously, the locking screws, in conjunction with mounting groove one, allow operators to clamp the liquid cooling plate with one hand, shortening clamping time. The lightweight holes on the support plates reduce the overall weight of the tooling, facilitating handling and operation by the operator. Therefore, this utility model has advantages such as precise positioning, efficient clamping, and strong stability, and is suitable for welding production lines of new energy vehicle battery liquid cooling plates.
