[0002] The CV joint, also known as a constant velocity joint, is a crucial component in a car's transmission system. Its function is to transmit engine power from the transmission to the drive wheels, propelling the car at high speeds. Many types of constant velocity joints are used in cars, with the CV joint and the tripod type being the most common. They mainly consist of a sliding sleeve, a three-way shaft, a drive shaft, a star-shaped sleeve, a cage, and a bell-shaped housing. Because constant velocity joints transmit heavy driving torque, require high loads and high transmission precision, and are in high demand, and are also safety components, their main parts are all precision-forged.

Since different vehicles require different CV joint specifications, the welding positions of the universal joint and the drive shaft are different. During production, it is necessary to adjust the position of the welding torch head. Therefore, a welding torch position adjustment mechanism for CV joint welding processing is proposed.

It is suitable for processing ball cage universal joints of different specifications. Please refer to [link to relevant documentation]. Figures 1-4 It includes: a support mechanism 100, a first connecting mechanism 200, a second connecting mechanism 300, and an adjustment mechanism 400.

The cylinder 130 extends and retracts to drive the lifting plate 140 to rise and fall, changing the upper and lower support heights.
[0033] The first connecting mechanism 200 is disposed on the left lifting plate 140. Specifically, the first connecting mechanism 200 includes a first support frame 210, a first transverse screw 220, a first transverse plate 230 and a first clamping block 240.

[0040] In practical use, the ball cage and shaft are connected to the machine tool. The slide block 120 slides at both ends of the slide rail 110, changing the left and right support positions. The cylinder 130 extends and retracts, driving the lifting plate 140 to rise and fall, changing the upper and lower support heights to achieve general directional adjustment. Then, the first transverse lead screw 220 is rotated, and the first transverse plate 230 moves laterally within the first support frame 210, adjusting the transverse support position of the first transverse plate 230. The longitudinal lead screw 350 is rotated, and the longitudinal plate 360 rises and falls at the front end of the transverse block 340, adjusting the transverse and longitudinal support positions of the longitudinal plate 360. The longitudinal position is adjusted to achieve a small range of adjustment. The welding torch tip is clamped in the hole of the single-hole clamp 440. The connection position of the double-hole clamp 420 at the lower end of the vertical rod 410 is changed to adjust the working height of the single-hole clamp 440. The connection position of the horizontal rod 430 on the double-hole clamp 420 is changed to adjust the left and right position of the single-hole clamp 440. By rotating the horizontal rod 430, the tilt angle of the single-hole clamp 440 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the working position of the welding torch tip so that the welding torch tip faces the connection position of the ball cage and the shaft.
