Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding equipment technology, and more specifically, to a friction welding assembly device for lightweight wheel production. Background Technology

[0002] Friction welding assembly is a solid-state welding device that uses the heat generated by the relative frictional motion of the workpieces to achieve a reliable connection of materials. Its core principle is to generate heat through mechanical friction, so that the material surface reaches a thermoplastic state, and the connection is achieved under the action of upsetting force. It has the characteristics of no welding materials, no smoke and dust pollution, and high welding quality. This device is widely used in the fields of automobiles, aerospace, and rail transportation. Especially in the production of lightweight wheels, it significantly improves welding efficiency and material properties by optimizing thermal management, motion control and welding precision.

[0003] For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN201420808779.5 discloses a portable friction stir welding device, comprising a frame. The frame is characterized by having an X-axis motion device, a Z-axis motion device, and a welding spindle. The X-axis motion device is horizontally positioned on the frame, and the Z-axis motion device is vertically positioned on the worktable of the X-axis motion device. The welding spindle is fixedly mounted on the lead screw drive of the Z-axis motion device. An adsorption device and a roller mechanism are also provided at the bottom of the frame. This invention utilizes a suction cup device to fix the welding device onto the surface of a wide profile after reaching the welding area, greatly reducing the space occupied by welding work. It also saves on investment in welding fixtures and loading / unloading devices, and allows for the deployment of multiple portable welding devices to improve production efficiency, significantly reducing the user's financial investment in expensive large-scale friction stir welding equipment and its supporting equipment.

[0004] However, in the above-mentioned technical solutions, the efficient and precise operation of the friction welding device is crucial to ensuring product quality and production efficiency during the production of lightweight wheels. However, in the traditional wheel friction welding process, after the cutting tool completes the cutting operation, its surface is often covered with a large amount of waste material flash. If this waste is not cleaned in a timely and effective manner, it will not only affect the subsequent performance of the cutting tool, but may also lead to a decrease in cutting quality, which will in turn have an adverse effect on the production accuracy and surface quality of the entire wheel. The existing cleaning methods are mostly manual, which is slow and affects production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a friction welding assembly device for lightweight wheel production. This device effectively addresses the issue that in the production of lightweight wheels, the efficient and precise operation of the friction welding assembly device is crucial for ensuring product quality and production efficiency. However, in traditional wheel friction welding assembly processes, after the cutting tool completes the cutting operation, its surface is often covered with a large amount of scrap material. If this scrap material is not cleaned in a timely and effective manner, it will not only affect the subsequent performance of the cutting tool but may also lead to a decrease in cutting quality, thereby adversely affecting the overall production accuracy and surface quality of the wheel. Existing cleaning methods are mostly manual, which is slow and affects production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a friction welding assembly device for lightweight wheel production, comprising a base, a one-way movable seat and a fixed block provided on the base, a fixed column and an outlet provided between the one-way movable seat and the fixed block, a telescopic component provided on the fixed column, a cutting tool and several connecting columns provided on the telescopic component, a loop ring fixedly provided on one side of the connecting column, several cleaning brushes fixedly provided on the inner wall surface of the loop ring, a first three-jaw chuck and a second three-jaw chuck respectively provided on the one-way movable seat and the fixed block, and a motor provided on one side of the first three-jaw chuck.

[0007] Preferably, the first three-jaw chuck is rotatably connected to the one-way movable seat.

[0008] Preferably, the motor is fixedly mounted on a unidirectional movable base.

[0009] Preferably, the telescopic component includes a component base, a groove is provided on the component base, a hydraulic rod is fixedly installed in the groove, and a sliding column is fixedly provided on the hydraulic rod.

[0010] Preferably, the inner wall surface of the groove is provided with a plurality of guide grooves, and a guide slider is slidably disposed in the guide grooves. The slide column and the component base are respectively provided with a tool mounting groove and a plurality of connecting column mounting grooves on the side near the loop ring.

[0011] Preferably, the guide slider is fixedly connected to the slide column, and the cutting tool and the connecting column are respectively fixedly installed on the tool mounting slot and the connecting column mounting slot.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0013] (1) After the cutting is completed, the slide column returns to its original position and the cutting tool passes through the loop ring. The cleaning brush on the inner wall of the loop ring automatically cleans the waste on the surface of the cutting tool, preventing waste from remaining on the surface of the cutting tool and preventing it from affecting subsequent cutting. No manual cleaning is required, thus improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0018] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a friction welding assembly device for lightweight wheel production includes a base 1, on which a one-way movable seat 2 and a fixed block 3 are arranged. A fixed column 4 and an outlet 10 are arranged between the one-way movable seat 2 and the fixed block 3. A telescopic component 5 is arranged on the fixed column 4. A cutting tool 6 and several connecting columns 7 are arranged on the telescopic component 5. A loop 8 is fixedly arranged on one side of the connecting column 7. Several cleaning brushes 9 are fixedly arranged on the inner wall surface of the loop 8. A first three-jaw chuck 11 and a second three-jaw chuck 12 are respectively arranged on the one-way movable seat 2 and the fixed block 3. A motor 13 is arranged on one side of the first three-jaw chuck 11.

[0020] like Figure 3 As shown, in another embodiment of the present invention, the telescopic component 5 includes a component base 501, a groove 502 is provided on the component base 501, a hydraulic rod 503 is fixedly installed in the groove 502, and a sliding column 504 is fixedly provided on the hydraulic rod 503.

[0021] The inner wall surface of the groove 502 is provided with a plurality of guide grooves 505, and a guide slider 506 is slidably disposed in the guide grooves 505. The sliding column 504 and the component base 501 are respectively provided with a tool mounting groove 507 and a plurality of connecting column mounting grooves 508 on the side near the loop ring 8.

[0022] When it is necessary to cut off the excess part on the welded material, the hydraulic rod 503 moves the slide column 504 towards the material. The slide column 504 gradually passes through the loop ring 8, and then the slide column 504 drives the cutting tool 6 to move towards the material, thereby using the cutting tool 6 to cut off the excess part on the rotating material and remove the excess part.

[0023] The working principle of a friction welding assembly device for lightweight wheel production:

[0024] In use, the first three-jaw chuck 11 and the second three-jaw chuck 12 are used to fix the two materials respectively. Then, the motor 13 rotates the first three-jaw chuck 11, which drives one material to rotate. Subsequently, the one-way moving seat 2 moves the rotating material to the other material, bringing the two materials into contact. The temperature of the contact surface rises, causing adhesion and thus welding the two materials. After welding, the one-way moving seat 2 returns to its original position, and at the same time, the hydraulic rod 503 moves the sliding column 504 towards the material. The cutting tool 6 is moved towards the material, where it cuts off the excess material. The waste generated falls into the drain 10 under gravity, facilitating secondary processing. After cutting, the slide column 504 returns to its original position, and the cutting tool 6 passes through the loop ring 8. The cleaning brush 9 on the inner wall of the loop ring 8 automatically cleans the waste from the surface of the cutting tool 6, preventing waste from remaining on the surface and affecting subsequent cutting. This eliminates the need for manual cleaning and improves production efficiency.

[0025] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is impossible to exhaustively list all the implementation methods here. All obvious variations or modifications derived from the technical solutions of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
