Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of positioning tooling technology, specifically relating to an adjustable welding positioning tooling. Background Technology

[0002] Positioning fixtures, also known as positioning jigs, are used because some workpieces have complex overall structures and are difficult to form in one piece. Therefore, they are usually processed into sections. After each section is processed, it is clamped and positioned by positioning fixtures, and the sections are connected by welding to produce a complete workpiece.

[0003] The existing support frame (workpiece) for automotive battery packs not only involves supporting and protecting the battery pack, but also requires holes for circuit wiring and a limiting structure for the battery pack. As a result, the structure of the support frame is usually quite complex and difficult to form in one piece (but the structure is symmetrical or similar about the middle). It is usually cut into two plates in the middle, processed and manufactured separately, and then connected and assembled by welding.

[0004] Existing support frame tooling fixtures are usually custom-made and only applicable to one type of support frame. However, for support frames with the same design template, the differences in shape and structure between different models are small, only varying in the location or shape of the holes and the height of the support frame's support base (better material selection requires less height, and the support base can provide the corresponding strength). The location or shape of the holes has little impact on the clamping and positioning of the positioning fixture. Different support frame support base heights may make it difficult to clamp the positioning fixture. Designing a separate positioning fixture is costly, and existing positioning fixtures cannot meet the requirements for adapting to changes in size. Utility Model Content

[0005] The present invention aims to provide an adjustable welding positioning fixture, which can be adapted to clamp support frames with different heights of support foundations.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an adjustable welding positioning fixture, comprising... The workbench has a base plate that slides on top, and a pad can be detachably installed on the top of the base plate. The limiting assembly includes a rocker arm, a drive rod, a drive cylinder, a pin, a first vertical plate and a second vertical plate respectively disposed on the left and right sides of the pad block, and a third vertical plate and a fourth vertical plate respectively disposed on the front and rear sides of the pad block. The rocker arm is rotatably mounted on the worktable, the second vertical plate is fixed on the base plate, and the fourth vertical plate is slidably inserted into the worktable. One end of the drive rod is rotatably connected to the second vertical plate, and the other end of the drive rod is rotatably connected to the rocker arm. The drive cylinder is mounted on the bottom of the worktable, and the movable end of the drive cylinder is connected to the lower end of the fourth vertical plate. A pin hole is provided on the worktable, and the pin is slidably inserted into the base plate, with its end extending into the pin hole. A positioning mechanism is used to position a workpiece.

[0007] The principle and effects of this technical solution: 1. By using detachable pads, the device can adapt to changes in the height of the workpiece support base to accommodate variations in size and dimensions. This allows workpieces of different heights and dimensions to be clamped and positioned using the positioning fixture. Furthermore, by fixing the second vertical plate to the base plate and the first vertical plate to the worktable, the distance between the first and second vertical plates can be controlled by the movable base plate to accommodate different widths. Additionally, the third and fourth vertical plates can adapt to the length of the workpiece. As a result, the device can position and clamp workpieces of different sizes and dimensions under the same design template, thus broadening its application range.

[0008] 2. Since the base plate can only slide horizontally along the worktable, and the second vertical plate is fixed to the base plate, while the rocker arm can only rotate along the rotating end, the rocker arm, the drive rod, and the second vertical plate form a crank-slider structure. By rotating the rocker arm, the drive rod can be driven to slide the second vertical plate horizontally, thereby changing the position of the second vertical plate and the base plate relative to the first vertical plate, thus achieving the effect of width adjustment to adapt to the support base of the workpiece. Furthermore, the base plate is connected and positioned to the worktable through the pin and pin hole, which ensures that the second vertical plate remains stable during use, and the fit between the pin hole and the pin is highly accurate.

[0009] 3. The fourth vertical plate is driven to slide horizontally by the driving cylinder, so that the position of the fourth vertical plate can be adjusted according to the length of the workpiece to adapt to slight changes in length, thus improving its applicability.

[0010] The present invention is further configured to include a control component, which includes a control cylinder and a connecting rod. The worktable has a movable groove, and a movable plate is movably disposed on the worktable. The movable plate is located on the side of the pad block away from the second vertical plate. The control cylinder is fixed to the bottom surface of the worktable. One end of the connecting rod is connected to the movable end of the control cylinder, and the other end of the connecting rod passes through the movable groove and is connected to the movable plate. The positioning mechanism is disposed on the left and right sides of the pad block, with one side installed on the movable plate and the other side installed on the worktable.

[0011] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By controlling the extension and retraction of the cylinder's movable end, the connecting rod is driven to slide, so that the connecting rod can move in the movable groove and move the movable plate closer to or away from the pad block. That is, it drives the positioning mechanism located on the movable plate closer to or away from the pad block, so as to achieve the effect of making way for the workpiece or clamping it.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that: the control component also includes a guide rod, a guide frame, and a guide rail; the guide rod is rotatably mounted on the worktable; the guide frame is rotatably mounted on the movable plate; the end of the guide frame is rotatably connected to the guide rod; the guide rail is fixed on the worktable; and the movable plate is slidably mounted on the guide rail.

[0013] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting up the guide rod and guide frame, a crank-slider structure is formed between the guide rod, guide frame and movable plate. The sliding of the movable plate can change the included angle between the guide frame and the guide rod, as well as the distance between their lower ends. Through oblique traction and pressure, the movable plate cannot be separated from the guide rail, thus achieving a certain vertical limiting effect and guiding effect on the movable plate. With the guidance of the guide rail, the stability is higher.

[0014] The present invention is further configured such that: the control component also includes a mounting bracket, an auxiliary cylinder and a connector; both the front and rear ends of the movable plate have protrusions; the left and right sides of the protrusions are respectively provided with mounting brackets connected to the worktable; the mounting brackets are equipped with auxiliary cylinders; the movable end of the auxiliary cylinder is fixed with a connector; and the side wall of the protrusions has clearance holes adapted to the connector.

[0015] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By using an auxiliary cylinder to move the connector closer to or away from the protrusion, the protrusion can be made to slide along the slide rail by the pressure of the connector, thereby achieving the effect of auxiliary braking. At the same time, the position of the connector can also limit the movement of the protrusion, thereby limiting the stroke of the movable plate.

[0016] The present invention is further configured such that: the positioning mechanism includes a first clamping plate, a second clamping plate and a horizontal cylinder, the first clamping plate is fixed on the movable plate and has a positioning pin on the side of the first clamping plate near the pad, the horizontal cylinder is fixed on the worktable, the second clamping plate is installed on the movable end of the horizontal cylinder and is located on the side of the pad away from the first clamping plate.

[0017] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By installing the first clamping plate on the movable plate, the movement of the movable plate can drive the first clamping plate to move closer to or away from the workpiece's support base. The positioning pin can position and guide the positioning hole of the workpiece base. The second clamping plate can also move horizontally on the worktable through the setting of the horizontal cylinder. Thus, the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate can clamp or move the workpiece horizontally by moving horizontally.

[0018] The present invention is further configured such that: the positioning mechanism includes a vertical cylinder, a vertical plate, a transmission plate, a first pressure plate and a second pressure plate; the vertical cylinder, the vertical plate and the transmission plate are respectively set on both sides of the pad; the transmission plate is rotatably mounted on the vertical plate, and one end of the transmission plate is connected to the movable end of the vertical cylinder; the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate are respectively mounted on the ends of the two transmission plates away from the vertical cylinder; the vertical cylinder and the vertical plate on one side are fixed on the movable plate; the vertical cylinder on the other side is fixed to the bottom of the worktable; and the transmission plate is fixed to the top of the worktable.

[0019] The principle and effect of this technical solution are as follows: By mounting a vertical cylinder and upright plate on one side of the movable plate, the vertical cylinder and upright plate on that side can move as a whole with the movable plate. This eliminates the need for a large range of motion in the transmission plate mounted on the movable plate. A small rotation of the transmission plate, combined with the horizontal movement of the movable plate, is sufficient to allow the first or second pressure plate mounted on that side to move aside for workpiece installation or removal. Furthermore, the vertical cylinder mounted at the bottom of the worktable has a larger range of motion without occupying worktable space, allowing the transmission plate on that side to drive the first or second pressure plate to rotate at a larger angle to allow for workpiece installation, removal, or placement on the pad or base plate. The rotation also allows the bottom of the first or second pressure plate to press against the surface of the workpiece, thus limiting the vertical movement of the workpiece.

[0020] The present invention is further configured such that: pressure heads are detachably installed at the front and rear ends of the bottom of the first pressure plate.

[0021] The principle and effect of this technical solution: By setting two detachable pressure heads, the first pressure plate and the pressure head as a whole can be adapted to the shape of the workpiece without having to press as a whole. The detachable setting means that if the commonly used pressing parts are damaged, only that part can be replaced, resulting in lower cost. Furthermore, the pressure head can be replaced with the corresponding model according to the shape of the workpiece, which is more flexible. Attached Figure Description
