[0030] The implementation principle of a vibration friction welding fixture for intake manifold in this application embodiment is as follows: The main function of the upper fixture mounting plate 1 is to provide a platform for the installation and fixing of the upper fixture 4, to ensure the stability and precise position of the upper fixture during the welding process, and to ensure the fitting accuracy between the upper fixture and the lower fixture 5, thereby providing an accurate positioning basis for the welding of various components of the intake manifold.

[0031] As the basic support component of the entire welding fixture, the fixture base plate 2 bears the weight of the lower fixture 5 and other related components; it provides a stable support structure for the entire fixture, ensuring that the fixture will not shake or shift during operation, and ensuring the stability and consistency of the welding process.

[0032] The telescopic rod 3 serves to connect and adjust the distance between the upper fixture mounting plate 1 and the upper fixture 4. During the welding process, the telescopic rod 3 can extend and retract to allow the upper fixture 4 to move up and down, so that the upper fixture 4 can accurately cooperate with the lower fixture 5 to clamp and position the intake manifold to be welded, thus creating conditions for the welding operation.

[0033] The upper fixture 4 is installed below the upper fixture mounting plate 1 and moves up and down via the telescopic rod 3. Its main function is to cooperate with the lower fixture 5 to accurately position and clamp the components such as the upper fixture to be welded 10 of the intake manifold, ensuring that the position of each component is accurate during the vibration friction welding process and guaranteeing the welding quality.

[0034] The lower fixture 5 is fixed on the fixture base plate 2 and corresponds to the upper fixture 4. It is used to place the main body 6, middle section 7, upper process assembly 8, lower cover 11 and other components of the intake manifold, providing stable support and accurate positioning for these components. Together with the upper fixture 4, it completes the fixation of each component of the intake manifold so as to carry out vibration friction welding.

[0035] The main body 6 is one of the main components of the intake manifold. During the vibration friction welding process, it is a key component for welding with other parts such as the middle section 7, the upper cover 9, and the lower cover 11. Through the positioning and fixing of the fixture, the main body 6 can accurately dock with other parts to achieve reliable welding connection and form a complete intake manifold cavity.

[0036] The middle section 7 is the middle connecting part of the intake manifold. Its function is to connect different parts of the main body 6 or cooperate with other components such as the upper cover 9 and the lower cover 11 to form the complete structure of the intake manifold. With the help of the welding fixture, the middle section 7 can be accurately welded to the main body 6 and other components to ensure smooth gas flow in the intake manifold.

[0037] The upper process assembly 8 is a collection of parts after the previous processing step. It includes some structural and functional components of the intake manifold. In this vibration friction welding fixture, the upper process assembly 8 is placed on the lower fixture 5. Through welding with other parts, the overall structure and function of the intake manifold are further improved.

[0038] The upper cover 9 is used to seal the upper opening of the intake manifold, which protects the internal structure and controls the gas flow. During the welding process, the upper cover 9 is positioned and clamped by the upper fixture 4 and the lower fixture 5, and is subjected to vibration friction welding with the main body 6, the middle section 7 and other parts to achieve a tight connection with other parts of the intake manifold.

[0039] The part to be welded 10 in the fixture is a component that needs to be welded in cooperation with the upper fixture 4 and the lower fixture 5. It may be a specific part or component of the intake manifold. Through the precise positioning and fixing of the fixture, the part to be welded 10 in the upper fixture can be accurately welded together with other components to ensure the integrity and functionality of the intake manifold.

[0040] The lower cover 11 corresponds to the upper cover 9 and is used to seal the lower opening of the intake manifold. Under the action of the welding fixture, the lower cover 11 is accurately placed on the lower fixture 5 and is subjected to vibration friction welding with the main body 6, the middle section 7 and other components to complete the bottom sealing of the intake manifold and ensure the airtightness of the intake manifold and the stability of the overall structure.

[0041] Vibration welding fixture assembly 12: Vibration welding fixture assembly 12 is an integrated body of the entire welding fixture. It is composed of components such as upper fixture mounting plate 1, fixture base plate 2, telescopic rod 3, upper fixture 4, and lower fixture 5. Its main function is to accurately position and fix the various components of the intake manifold, and then install them on the vibration friction welding equipment. Through the vibration friction of the equipment, the various components are welded into a complete intake manifold cavity.

[0042] The cylinder 13 is mounted on the slider 14 and its function is to provide power to the slider 14. Through the control of the equipment, the cylinder 13 can drive the slider 14 to move, realizing the automated operation of the vibration friction welding fixture. For example, when it is necessary to pick up and put down parts, the cylinder 13 drives the slider 14 to move, avoiding interference between the fixture and the parts, and facilitating operation.

[0043] The slider 14 is a movable structure designed to address areas where there is interference when picking up or placing parts on the welding fixture. Driven by the cylinder 13, the slider 14 can move. When it is necessary to place or remove parts, the slider 14 moves to a position where there is no interference. When welding is performed, the slider 14 returns to the appropriate position, ensuring that the fixture can properly position and clamp the parts, thus improving the convenience and efficiency of operation in the production process.

[0044] The intake manifold components to be welded, such as the main body 6, middle section 7, upper process assembly 8, upper cover 9, upper fixture to be welded part 10, and lower cover 11, are manually placed on the lower fixture 5 and upper fixture 4 of a special automatic welding fixture. The equipment is started, and the cylinder 13 drives the slider 14 to move to the appropriate position. The upper fixture 4 descends through the telescopic rod 3 to cooperate with the lower fixture 5 to clamp and position the components. Then, the vibration friction welding equipment starts to work. By adjusting various system parameters, the four separate parts of the intake manifold are welded into a complete cavity under the action of vibration friction. After welding is completed, the cylinder 13 drives the slider 14 to move, and the upper fixture 4 rises to facilitate the removal of the welded intake manifold.
