[0002] Laser welding refers to the use of high-energy laser beams of specific frequencies to achieve fusion bonding between materials. Laser welding does not require solder, and the welding position, welding time, and energy output are controllable. Therefore, laser welding is often used for welding thin plates. The difficulty in laser welding thin plates usually lies in the flushing of the plates. Due to the small thickness of the plates, insufficient support can easily lead to deformation errors in the joints during clamping and fixing. This can affect the integrity of the weld or even damage the material. Therefore, it is necessary to design anti-deformation support structures for thin plates. Utility Model Content

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1-6 As shown, the specific implementation adopts the following technical solution:

[0028] Spline shaft 3, the spline shaft 3 is disposed inside the frame 1, and the left and right ends of the spline shaft 3 are respectively fixedly disposed on the inner walls of the left and right side plates of the frame 1.
[0029] Spline sleeve 4, the spline sleeve 4 is inserted and fixed on the mounting bracket 2, and the mounting bracket 2 is movably sleeved on the spline shaft 3 through the spline sleeve 4;
[0030] The fixing claw 5 has a "U" shaped structure and is fixedly installed on the upper wall of the mounting frame 2, and the fixing claws 5 on the left and right mounting frames 2 are symmetrically arranged.
[0031] The support frame 7 is fixedly installed on the lower end wall of the mounting frame 2, and the support frame 7 is arranged in a "U" shape.
[0032] Guide frame 9, which is integrally formed and installed on the lower side wall of support frame 7;
[0033] Support rod 8, the two support rods 8 are arranged in a group and are symmetrically inserted through the two end feet of the guide frame 9, and the support rod 8 passes through the guide frame 9;
[0034] A guide groove 10 is provided on the side wall of the support rod 8, and the guide groove 10 is slidably configured to cooperate with the guide frame 9;
[0035] Movable claw 6, the two movable claws 6 are grouped together and fixedly installed on the upper ends of the two support rods 8 of the group, and the two movable claws 6 of the group are respectively installed below the two claw heads of the fixed claw 5;
[0036] The external threaded sleeve 11 is movably sleeved on the support rod 8 and movably inserted into the support frame 7.
[0037] A guide block 12 is integrally formed on the inner side wall of the external threaded sleeve 11, and the guide block 12 is slidably disposed in the guide groove 10;
[0038] A support threaded sleeve 13 is provided, which is threadedly fitted onto the external threaded sleeve 11 and is sandwiched between the support frame 7 and the guide frame 9.
[0039] The support spring 14 is sleeved on the support rod 8. The upper end of the support spring 14 abuts against the lower side wall of the movable claw 6, and the lower end of the support spring 14 abuts against the upper end wall of the external threaded sleeve 11.
[0040] The threaded rod 15 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 2 and movably passes through the side plate of the frame 1.
[0041] The limiting frame 17 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the side plate of the frame 1, and the threaded rod 15 is movably inserted through the limiting frame 17.
[0042] The threaded sleeve 16 is threadedly fitted onto the threaded rod 15 and is clamped between the frame 1 and the limiting frame 17.
[0043] When using this device, two thin plates to be welded are clamped and fixed to the movable frame using the fixed claws 5. The left and right ends of one thin plate are clamped by the movable claws 6 on both sides, which engage with the rear claws of the fixed claws 5 on both sides. The left and right ends of the other thin plate are clamped by the movable claws 6 on both sides, which engage with the front claws of the fixed claws 5 on both sides. The adjacent edges of the two thin plates are then aligned and joined. The thin plates are placed between the fixed claws 5 and the movable claws 6. Then, the support threaded sleeve 13 is rotated, which in turn pushes the external threaded sleeve 11 through the support threaded sleeve 13, guided by a guide. The frame 9 guides the support rod 8 vertically, causing the guide rod to move the movable claw 6 only up and down while the support rod 8 does not rotate. The guide groove 10 on the support rod 8 engages with the guide block 12 inside the external threaded sleeve 11, allowing the external threaded sleeve 11 to move only up and down without rotating. Then, the external threaded sleeve 11 moves upward, pushing the movable claw 6 upward via the support spring 14, causing the movable claw 6 to press the thin plate against the fixed claw 5 and tighten it. Next, the support threaded sleeve 13 continues to rotate, pushing the external threaded sleeve 11 upward, thus through the interaction between the external threaded sleeve 11 and the movable claw 6... The claw 6 engages to press the support spring 14, causing the compressed support spring 14 to provide pressure on the movable claw 6. That is, the movable claw 6 presses against the fixed claw 5 via the support spring 14, thereby adjusting the rising distance of the external threaded sleeve 11 to adjust the compression degree of the support spring 14, i.e., adjusting the pressure of the movable claw 6 relative to the fixed claw 5. This achieves the adjustment of the clamping force of the movable claw 6 and the fixed claw 5 on the thin plate. Then, rotating the tension threaded sleeves 16 on both sides pulls the threaded rod 15, which in turn pulls the mounting bracket 2 to move via the spline sleeve. 4. The guide slides on the spline shaft 3, thereby the mounting bracket 2 pulls the thin plate clamped by the fixed claw 5 and the movable claw 6, causing the two ends of the thin plate to be stretched, thereby tightening the thin plate. When the thin plate is stretched, the clamping force of the fixed claw 5 and the movable claw 6 provides friction on the thin plate. When the tension exceeds the friction of the thin plate, the thin plate slides between the fixed claw 5 and the movable claw 6 and is no longer stretched. The lower surfaces of the two fixed claws 5 are flush, thereby the movable claw 6 presses the thin plate upward against the fixed claw 5, that is, the upper surface of the thin plate is flush.
[0044] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0045] 1. This device clamps the thin plate by cooperating with the adjustable movable claw 6 and the fixed claw 5. By pressing the thin plate against the lower surface of the fixed claw 5, the upper surface of the thin plate is aligned and aligned.
[0046] 2. This device sets the movable claw 6 and the fixed claw 5 on the horizontally movable mounting frame 2, so that the thin plate being clamped can be tensioned by the movement of the mounting frame 2, that is, the thin plate can be supported and prevented from deformation.
[0047] 3. This device adjusts the clamping force of the movable claw 6 and the fixed claw 5 on the thin plate, thereby adjusting the static friction force provided by the two when clamping the thin plate. This allows the thin plate to slide between the fixed claw 5 and the movable claw 6 and stop being stretched when the tension is greater than the static friction force during the tensioning of the thin plate by the mounting bracket 2.
[0048] For those skilled in the art, modifications can be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, and equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
