[0022] Example 1
[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 2 A welding fixture for aluminum trays in a welding station, characterized in that it comprises:
[0024] The welding station rotating pallet 1 has at least two welding areas. Each welding area has symmetrically arranged aluminum profiles 3, and an aluminum pallet 7 is positioned within the area enclosed by the aluminum profiles 3. Welding accessories 6 are positioned between the aluminum profiles 3 and the aluminum pallet 7 and are welded to them. Welding accessories 6 are also provided along the edge of the aluminum pallet 7 and are welded to it. The aluminum profiles 3 abut against the edge of the aluminum pallet 7. The height of the aluminum profiles 3 can be customized according to the height of the aluminum pallet 7.
[0025] Positioning element, which is set in the welding area and connected to the rotating tray 1 of the welding station, to position the aluminum tray 7 and the aluminum profile 3 in the welding area;
[0026] Quick clamp 5 is set in the welding area and connected to the rotating tray 1 of the welding station to clamp the warped part of the edge of the aluminum tray 7; wherein, the aluminum tray 7 is warped after being placed in the welding area, and the quick clamp 5 is an elastic support structure, which clamps the aluminum tray 7 in the Z-axis direction and plays a guiding role.
[0027] Adjusting block 4 is set in the assembly gap between aluminum profile 3 and positioning part to clamp aluminum tray 7 and welding accessory 6.
[0028] Multiple adjusting blocks 4 are provided; multiple adjusting blocks 4 arranged at intervals are inserted into the assembly gap to clamp the aluminum tray 7 and the welding accessories 6.
[0029] With the above technical solution, after the aluminum tray 7 and welding accessories 6 are placed in the welding area, there is a gap between the aluminum tray 7 and welding accessories 6. The adjusting block 4 is inserted into the assembly gap between the aluminum profile 3 and the positioning part, and the aluminum profile 3 clamps the aluminum tray 7 and welding accessories 6.
[0030] In this embodiment, the welding station rotating tray 1 is connected to the welding station so that the welding station rotating tray 1 can rotate 360 degrees.
[0031] In this embodiment, the multi-axis linkage robotic arm of the welding station is equipped with symmetrical stirring needles to achieve simultaneous welding of both sides of the aluminum tray 7.
[0032] Through the above technical solution, a multi-axis linkage robotic arm and a high-precision positioning module are used in the welding station to realize the automated welding of the complex structure of aluminum tray 7. A vision inspection system is equipped to monitor the weld quality in real time, realizing fully automatic welding. The welding station has a rotation function and can rotate 360 degrees. It adopts a symmetrical stirring needle design to achieve simultaneous double-sided operation and improve efficiency.
[0033] In this embodiment, the positioning components include a first positioning component 2 and a second positioning component 8; multiple first positioning components 2 and multiple second positioning components 8 are provided and are all located in the welding area and connected to the rotating tray 1 of the welding station; multiple first positioning components 2 and multiple second positioning components 8 are arranged alternately in sequence to form a positioning area for the positioning aluminum tray 7 and the aluminum profile 3; the first positioning component 2 abuts against the aluminum profile 3 and the aluminum tray 7 respectively; a gap is provided between the second positioning component 8 and the aluminum profile 3 to form an assembly gap.
[0034] In this embodiment, the first positioning member 2 has an L-shaped structure; four first positioning members 2 are provided in each welding area; the four first positioning members 2 are located at the four corners of the welding area; the vertical part of the L-shaped first positioning member 2 is attached to the side wall of the aluminum profile 3; the horizontal part of the L-shaped positioning member abuts against the edge of the aluminum tray 7.
[0035] The second positioning component 8 has an I-shaped structure; the I-shaped second positioning component 8 is set between two adjacent L-shaped first positioning components 2 and forms an assembly gap with the aluminum profile 3.
[0036] In this configuration, one side wall of the aluminum profile 3, located on the same horizontal plane, is in contact with the vertical portion of the L-shaped first positioning member 2, and the other side wall is in contact with the horizontal portion of the L-shaped first positioning member 2. A certain gap is provided between the aluminum profile 3 and the I-shaped second positioning member 8 located between the two adjacent first positioning members 2. This gap is the assembly gap. The adjusting block 4 is inserted into this assembly gap so that the aluminum profile 3 presses against the aluminum tray 7 and the welding accessories 6. When installing the aluminum tray 7, the bottom of the aluminum tray 7, located on the same horizontal plane, is placed on the welding fixture. One side wall of the aluminum tray 7 is in contact with the outer side wall of the aluminum profile 3, and the other side wall is in contact with the horizontal portion of the L-shaped first positioning member 2. The aluminum tray 7 and the aluminum profile 3 are positioned in the welding area by the first positioning member 2 and the second positioning member 8.
[0037] Through the above technical solution, the L-shaped first positioning component 2 limits the four corners of the aluminum tray 7 and limits the X-axis and Y-axis directions of the aluminum tray 7, ensuring that the aluminum tray 7 maintains a precise geometric position during the welding process and improving the welding accuracy.
[0038] In this embodiment, a safety protection baffle is provided on the rotating tray 1 of the welding station to block strong light during the rotating welding process and avoid eye damage, thereby improving safety.
[0039] The operation process of the welding station aluminum tray welding fixture provided by this utility model is as follows:
[0040] First, check if the parameters of the welding workstation are correct. After confirming that they are correct, place the aluminum tray 7 in the positioning area formed by the first positioning part 2 and the second positioning part 8 on the rotating tray 1 of the welding station. Place the welding accessory 6 between the aluminum tray 7 and the aluminum profile 3. Insert the adjusting block 4 into the assembly gap between the aluminum profile 3 and the second positioning part 8 to clamp the aluminum tray 7 and the welding accessory 6. Use the quick clamp 5 to clamp the warped part of the edge of the aluminum tray 7 in the X-axis direction to straighten the aluminum tray 7.
[0041] This utility model provides a welding station aluminum tray welding fixture with a modular aluminum tray 7 design. The clamping mechanism (positioning element 2, adjusting block 4, quick clamp 5) is integrated into the detachable tray, achieving fixation in three directions: X-axis, Y-axis, and Z-axis. This significantly reduces adjustment time and operational complexity; reduces manual intervention and improves continuous welding efficiency; optimizes welding quality by precisely positioning and fixing to reduce welding deformation, porosity, and other defects, improving weld strength and consistency; and is compatible with multiple welding processes, suitable for various welding methods such as argon arc welding and gas welding, meeting the needs of different industrial scenarios.
