Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding technology, specifically relating to a wide-seam continuous welding machine for a drive shaft. Background Technology

[0002] The driveshaft is the power-transmitting shaft in a universal joint drive system. It is a high-speed, low-support rotating body. Current manufacturing processes involve first assembling the various driveshaft components on a press-fitting machine, and then pressing, straightening, and welding them on a specialized welding machine. This driveshaft welding process requires a lot of equipment. First, the components are pressed together using a press-fitting machine. After pressing, straightening is performed, either manually by hammering or using new machinery. Finally, welding begins. The bicycle driveshaft is a crucial component connecting the power unit and the wheel; therefore, strict requirements are placed on the wide-seam welding of the driveshaft. This allows for continuous welding of the wide seams of the bicycle driveshaft.

[0003] In existing related technologies, the drive shaft is first transported to the welding machine. During the welding process, due to the long length of the drive shaft, it is prone to deformation and cannot be effectively supported. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a wide-seam continuous welding machine for the drive shaft to solve these problems. Utility Model Content
