Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding fixture technology, and relates to a U-shaped workpiece welding fixture that facilitates the positioning and clamping of workpieces. Background Technology
[0002] Existing welding fixtures have several drawbacks when positioning and clamping U-shaped workpieces, mainly manifested in insufficient positioning accuracy, unstable clamping, difficulty in adjustment, and low efficiency. These drawbacks are typically related to the versatility of fixture design, the specific shape of the workpiece, and the complexity of operation. Due to the special structure of U-shaped workpieces, standard fixtures often struggle to adapt to their shape, resulting in a small contact area between the positioning point and the workpiece, which compromises welding stability. The fixture's adjustment mechanism may not be flexible enough to quickly adapt to U-shaped workpieces of different sizes, thus affecting welding efficiency. Conventional solutions include using customized fixtures, adding auxiliary positioning devices, or employing manual adjustment. While customized fixtures can improve positioning accuracy and clamping stability, their design and manufacturing costs are high, and their adaptability to a single type or size of workpiece is limited. Adding auxiliary positioning devices, such as adjustable support blocks and clamps, can improve flexibility but increases operational complexity and prolongs preparation time. The disadvantage of these methods is that they cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high precision, high efficiency, and low cost. While customized fixtures offer high precision, their application is limited by cost and adaptability issues. Auxiliary positioning devices improve flexibility, but the increased complexity and time cost of operation affect production efficiency. Manual adjustment, while flexible, cannot guarantee consistent welding quality and production efficiency. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a U-shaped workpiece welding fixture that facilitates workpiece positioning and clamping to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a U-shaped workpiece welding fixture that facilitates the positioning and clamping of workpieces, thereby solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution: a U-shaped workpiece welding fixture for easy positioning and clamping of workpieces, comprising: a mounting frame and a support base, wherein a set of upper positioning plates for fixing and supporting the top clamp of the workpiece is provided at the upper end of the middle position on the left side of the workpiece positioning frame, and the upper positioning plates are fixedly connected to the workpiece positioning frame by bolts.
[0005] The upper positioning plate has a 7-shaped cross-section when viewed from the front. The upper front side of the upper positioning plate is fixed to the workpiece top clamp by bolts. The upper front and rear sides of the right side of the workpiece positioning frame are respectively provided with a set of side workpiece clamp 1 and side workpiece clamp 2 for positioning and clamping the lower end of the U-shaped workpiece. The side workpiece clamp 1, side workpiece clamp 2 and workpiece top clamp are of the same specifications. The inner side of the side workpiece clamp 1, side workpiece clamp 2 and workpiece top clamp are respectively provided with a set of flexible pads for contacting the U-shaped workpiece.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, the flexible pad is made of a rubber material, and the inner side of the flexible pad has anti-slip ridges at the contact point with the U-shaped workpiece. The right side of the mounting frame has a set of support stands for supporting the welding fixture. In actual use, the support base of the fixture is first placed firmly on the workbench, and the I-shaped base frame is fixed to the mounting frame with bolts. After starting the motor, the power is transmitted to the connecting shaft and the inner shaft through the coupling, driving the positioning shaft seat to adjust to the preset position. The U-shaped workpiece is placed on the workpiece positioning frame, so that its lower end contacts the rubber flexible pads of the side workpiece clamps one and two. The anti-slip ridges can enhance the friction and prevent displacement. Then, the bolts of the workpiece top clamp are tightened, and vertical pressure is applied to the top of the workpiece through the 7-shaped upper positioning plate to form a three-point positioning clamping system. During the welding process, the support stands can disperse mechanical vibration and ensure positioning stability. After welding is completed, the workpiece top clamp bolts are loosened first, and then the workpiece is taken out. The flexible pads not only avoid scratching the workpiece surface, but also adapt to the small tolerances of workpieces of different sizes.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the lower end of the support frame is provided with a set of I-shaped base frames for supporting its lower end. The mounting frame is fixed to the support frame and the I-shaped base frames by bolts. The upper end of the mounting frame is provided with a set of motors for driving the workpiece positioning frame to adjust the rotation angle.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, the front side of the motor is provided with a set of bevel gearboxes for transmitting power at right angles, and the right side of the bevel gearbox is provided with a set of connecting shafts for driving the inner shaft to rotate. The connecting shafts and the inner shaft are an integral structure.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, two sets of positioning bearings for maintaining the rotational positioning of the inner shaft are provided on the outer side of the middle position of the inner shaft. The lower end of each set of positioning bearings is connected and fixed to the support frame by two sets of bolts, and each set of positioning bearings is provided inside.
[0010] In a preferred embodiment, the inner shaft passes through the interior of two sets of positioning bearings, and a workpiece positioning frame for driving the U-shaped workpiece to rotate is provided on the right side of the inner shaft.
[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the workpiece positioning frame has a concave cross-section when viewed from above, and is made of aluminum alloy. The middle left side of the workpiece positioning frame is connected and fixed to the right side of the inner shaft. In actual use, the I-shaped base frame is first assembled into a rigid whole with the support frame and mounting frame by bolts. After starting the motor, the power is converted into right-angle transmission through the bevel gearbox, driving the integrated connecting shaft and the inner shaft to rotate synchronously. Before operation, the lubrication status of the bearings of the two sets of positioning shaft seats needs to be checked to ensure that the inner shaft rotates smoothly in the positioning bearings. The U-shaped workpiece is placed in the concave groove of the aluminum alloy workpiece positioning frame, and after being fixed by the side workpiece clamp and the top clamp, the inner shaft is controlled by the motor to drive the workpiece positioning frame to rotate 0-360° to achieve multi-angle welding operation. During the rotation, the double bolt structure of the positioning shaft seat can effectively suppress axial movement, and the bevel gearbox can ensure transmission accuracy. After welding is completed, the motor is turned off, and the workpiece clamping device is released to take out the finished product.
[0012] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, the support base of the fixture is placed firmly on the workbench. The I-shaped base frame is fixed to the mounting frame by bolts. After starting the motor, the power is transmitted to the connecting shaft and the inner shaft through the coupling, driving the positioning shaft seat to adjust to the preset position. The U-shaped workpiece is placed on the workpiece positioning frame, so that its lower end contacts the rubber flexible pads of the side workpiece clamp one and the side workpiece clamp two. The anti-slip ridges can enhance the friction and prevent displacement. Then, the bolts of the workpiece top clamp are tightened. Vertical pressure is applied to the top of the workpiece through the 7-shaped upper positioning plate to form a three-point positioning clamping system. During the welding process, the support frame can disperse mechanical vibration and ensure positioning stability. After welding is completed, the workpiece top clamp bolts are loosened first, and then the workpiece can be taken out. Its flexible pads not only avoid scratching the workpiece surface, but also adapt to the small tolerances of workpieces of different sizes.
[0013] First, assemble the I-shaped base frame into a rigid whole with the support frame and mounting bracket using bolts. After starting the motor, the power is converted into right-angle transmission through the bevel gearbox, driving the integrated connecting shaft and the inner shaft to rotate synchronously. Before operation, check the lubrication status of the bearings of the two sets of positioning shaft seats to ensure that the inner shaft rotates smoothly in the positioning bearings. Place the U-shaped workpiece into the concave groove of the aluminum alloy workpiece positioning frame, and fix it with the side workpiece clamp and the top clamp. Then, control the inner shaft with the motor to drive the workpiece positioning frame to rotate and adjust from 0 to 360° to achieve multi-angle welding operations. During the rotation, the double bolt structure of the positioning shaft seat can effectively suppress axial movement, and the bevel gearbox can ensure transmission accuracy. After welding is completed, turn off the motor and release the workpiece clamping device to take out the finished product. Attached Figure Description
