Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling technology, and in particular to a laser welding tooling. Background Technology

[0002] When welding the curvature of a swing pipe, without professional welding fixtures to hold the pipe fittings, it is difficult to achieve mutual fusion between the fittings and the main body. Furthermore, during welding, the fixed angle is prone to deviation, resulting in severe weld scars and excessively large welds, which can easily lead to water leakage and substandard finished products. However, professional welding fixtures are costly and relatively complex in structure. Therefore, this utility model provides a welding fixture with a simple structure and strong practicality. Utility Model Content

[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes a welding fixture with a simple structure and low cost.

[0004] A laser welding fixture includes a first rotating mechanism, a second rotating mechanism, a base, a driving component, a first pipe clamping mechanism, and a second pipe clamping mechanism, wherein...

[0005] The first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism are mounted opposite each other and spaced apart on the base. They are respectively provided with a first transmission shaft and a second transmission shaft that are coaxial and rotatably mounted. The driving component drives the first transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft to rotate synchronously.

[0006] The first pipe clamping mechanism is mounted on the first drive shaft and driven to rotate by the first drive shaft. The first pipe clamping mechanism is provided with a first pipe clamping component, which can fix a pipe to be welded.

[0007] The second pipe clamping mechanism is mounted on the second drive shaft and driven to rotate by the second drive shaft. The second pipe clamping mechanism is equipped with a second pipe clamping component, which can fix another pipe to be welded.

[0008] The first pipe clamp and the second pipe clamp are close to each other, and the two pipes to be processed, clamped by the first pipe clamp and the second pipe clamp, cross and abut against each other, thus preparing for the welding of the two pipes.

[0009] In use, by setting up a first rotating mechanism and a second rotating mechanism that rotate synchronously, the first pipe clamping mechanism and the second pipe clamping mechanism can also rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two positioned pipes to rotate synchronously, so that oscillating or rotating welding processes can be performed.

[0010] The welding fixture provided by this utility model has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. It can make the pipe to be welded rotate stably and synchronously, thereby avoiding angular deviation during welding. At the same time, the weld is small and beautiful, and it is not easy to have water leakage problems, resulting in a high product compliance rate.

[0011] Preferably, both the first rotating mechanism and the second rotating mechanism include vertical plates, and the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft are rotatably mounted on the two vertical plates through bearings and bearing seats, thereby providing sufficient positioning space for the pipe fittings to be welded.

[0012] Preferably, the driving component is a servo motor, which is mounted on the first rotating mechanism, the second rotating mechanism, or the base via a servo mount, and the servo motor synchronously drives the second transmission shaft and the second transmission shaft.

[0013] Preferably, to improve the consistency of rotation, the driving component further includes a main drive shaft and two sets of synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts. The two ends of the main drive shaft are rotatably mounted on two vertical plates through bearings and bearing seats, and are driven to rotate by the servo motor through a reducer and a coupling. The two ends of the main drive shaft respectively drive the first drive shaft and the second drive shaft to rotate through a set of synchronous pulleys and synchronous belts.

[0014] Preferably, both the first and second rotating mechanisms are equipped with tensioning pulleys, which can be adjusted to tighten the synchronous belt and prevent power failure.

[0015] Preferably, the timing pulley, timing belt, and tensioning pulley are all located on the outward-facing side of the vertical plate, thereby avoiding occupying the inward-facing space of the vertical plate and providing sufficient installation space for the clamping mechanism and pipe fittings. In addition, it also provides sufficient operating space for welding.

[0016] Preferably, the first pipe clamping mechanism includes a support plate, a shaft clamp cover, a positioning shaft mounting plate, and a positioning shaft. One end of the support plate has a semi-circular shaft hole, and the bottom of the shaft clamp cover also has a semi-circular shaft hole. The support plate and the shaft clamp cover are assembled together and clamp the first drive shaft through the two semi-circular shaft holes. One end of the positioning shaft mounting plate is vertically mounted on the other end of the support plate, and the other end points towards the second rotating mechanism. The positioning shaft is mounted on the end of the positioning shaft mounting plate facing the first drive shaft. In use, the pipe to be welded is sleeved on the positioning shaft, thereby achieving a fixing effect.

[0017] To improve the fixing effect, the positioning shaft is selected with the same size as the internal cross-section of the pipe to be welded, so that it can form a tight fit with the pipe to be welded and is not easy to fall off.

[0018] Preferably, the second pipe clamping mechanism includes a slip ring, a cylinder mounting plate, and a clamping cylinder. The slip ring is sleeved on the end of the second drive shaft, and the clamping cylinder is mounted on the end of the slip ring via the cylinder mounting plate.

A flat tube flat mold is installed between the two flat mold arms. The top surface of the flat tube flat mold slopes downward and connects to the channel between the two flat tube clamping molds. Thus, when the clamping cylinder clamps the pipe to be welded, the flat tube flat mold can also support other parts of the pipe to be welded, thereby forming a double positioning effect, further improving the stability of the pipe to be welded during welding and rotation, and improving the welding quality.

[0020] Preferably, the air inlet pipe of the air slip ring is connected to the air source through a manual air valve, which allows the operator to control the clamping cylinder at any time, providing convenience for welding work.

[0022] The welding fixture provided by this utility model has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. It can make the pipe to be welded rotate stably and synchronously, thereby avoiding angular deviation during welding. At the same time, the weld is small and beautiful, and it is not easy to leak water. The product compliance rate is high.

[0024] The synchronous belt and synchronous pulley drive structure improves the consistency of pipe rotation and enhances welding quality.

[0025] The synchronous pulley, synchronous belt, and tensioning pulley are all located on the outward-facing side of the vertical plate, thus avoiding occupying the inward-facing space of the vertical plate.

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0043] Please see Figures 1 to 10 A laser welding fixture includes a first rotating mechanism 1, a second rotating mechanism 2, a base 3, a driving component 4, a first pipe clamping mechanism 5, and a second pipe clamping mechanism 6, wherein...

[0044] The first rotating mechanism 1 and the second rotating mechanism 2 are mounted opposite to and spaced apart on the base 3, and are respectively provided with a first transmission shaft 11 and a second transmission shaft 21 that are coaxial and rotatably mounted.

[0045] In one embodiment, both the first rotating mechanism 1 and the second rotating mechanism 2 include a vertical plate 7. The first transmission shaft 11 and the second transmission shaft 21 are rotatably mounted on the two vertical plates 7 through bearings and bearing seats, thereby providing sufficient positioning space for the pipe fitting to be welded.

[0046] The driving component 4 drives the first transmission shaft 11 and the second transmission shaft 21 to rotate synchronously. Preferably, the driving component 4 is a servo motor 41, which is mounted on the first rotating mechanism 1, the second rotating mechanism 2 or the base 3 via a servo mount. The servo motor 41 synchronously drives the second transmission shaft 21 and the second transmission shaft 21.

[0047] In one embodiment, to improve the consistency of rotation, the drive component 4 further includes a main drive shaft 42 and two sets of synchronous pulleys 43 and synchronous belts. The two ends of the main drive shaft 42 are rotatably mounted on two vertical plates 7 through bearings and bearing seats, and are driven to rotate by the servo motor 41 through a reducer and coupling. The two ends of the main drive shaft 42 respectively drive the first drive shaft 11 and the second drive shaft 21 to rotate through a set of synchronous pulleys 43 and synchronous belts.

[0048] Based on the above embodiments, both the first rotating mechanism 1 and the second rotating mechanism 2 are equipped with tensioning pulleys 8. The position of the tensioning pulleys 8 can be adjusted to tighten the synchronous belt and prevent power failure. In addition, the synchronous pulleys 43, the synchronous belt, and the tensioning pulleys 8 are all located on the outward-facing side of the vertical plate 7, thereby avoiding occupying the inward-facing space of the vertical plate 7, thus providing sufficient installation space for the clamping mechanism and the pipe fittings, and also providing sufficient operating space for welding.

[0049] The first pipe clamping mechanism 5 is mounted on the first drive shaft 11 and is driven to rotate by the first drive shaft 11. The first pipe clamping mechanism 5 is provided with a first pipe clamping component, which can fix a pipe to be welded.

[0050] In one embodiment, the first pipe clamping mechanism 5 includes a support plate 51, a shaft clamp cover 52, a positioning shaft mounting plate 53, and a positioning shaft 54. One end of the support plate 51 has a semi-circular shaft hole, and the bottom of the shaft clamp cover 52 also has a semi-circular shaft hole. The support plate 51 and the shaft clamp cover 52 are assembled together and clamp the first drive shaft 11 through the two semi-circular shaft holes. One end of the positioning shaft mounting plate 53 is vertically mounted on the other end of the support plate 51, and the other end points towards the second rotating mechanism 2. The positioning shaft 54 ​​is mounted on the positioning shaft mounting plate 53 at one end facing the first drive shaft 11. In use, the pipe to be welded is sleeved on the positioning shaft 54, thereby achieving a fixing effect.

[0051] In addition, to improve the fixing effect, the positioning shaft 54 ​​is selected with the same size as the cross-section of the internal space of the tube to be welded, so that it can form a tight mating with the tube to be welded and is not easy to fall off.

[0052] The second pipe clamping mechanism 6 is mounted on the second drive shaft 21 and is driven to rotate by the second drive shaft 21. The second pipe clamping mechanism 6 is provided with a second pipe clamping component, which can fix another pipe to be welded.

[0053] In one embodiment, the second pipe clamping mechanism 6 includes a slip ring 61, a cylinder mounting plate 62, and a clamping cylinder 63. The slip ring 61 is sleeved on the end of the second drive shaft 21, and the clamping cylinder 63 is mounted on the end of the slip ring 61 via the cylinder mounting plate 62. The clamping cylinder 63 includes a pair of grippers and is connected to an air source through the slip ring 61, enabling air to be supplied through the slip ring 61 while rotating, thus forming a clamping action. Preferably, the air inlet pipe of the slip ring 61 is connected to the air source through a manual air valve 9, allowing the operator to control the clamping cylinder 63 at any time, providing convenience for welding work.

The two ends of the flat mold arm seat 65 are provided with parallel and opposing flat mold arms 66. A flat tube flat mold 67 is installed between the two flat mold arms 66. The top surface of the flat tube flat mold 67 slopes downward and connects to the channel between the two flat tube clamping molds 64. Thus, when the clamping cylinder 63 clamps the pipe to be welded, the flat tube flat mold 67 can also support other parts of the pipe to be welded, thereby forming a double positioning effect, further improving the stability of the pipe to be welded during welding and rotation, and improving the welding quality.

[0055] The first pipe clamp and the second pipe clamp are close to each other, and the two pipes to be processed, clamped by the first pipe clamp and the second pipe clamp, cross and abut against each other, thus preparing for the welding of the two pipes.

[0056] In use, by setting up a first rotating mechanism 1 and a second rotating mechanism 2 that rotate synchronously, the first pipe clamping mechanism 5 and the second pipe clamping mechanism 6 can also rotate synchronously, thereby driving the two positioned pipes to rotate synchronously, so that oscillating or rotating welding processes can be performed.

[0057] The welding fixture provided by this utility model has the advantages of simple structure and low cost. It can make the pipe to be welded rotate stably and synchronously, thereby avoiding angular deviation during welding. At the same time, the weld is small and beautiful, and it is not easy to have water leakage problems, resulting in a high product compliance rate.
