[0016] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Example 1 Please see Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides the following technical solution: a welding fixture clamping device for a rear cover of an axle housing, including a processing table 1. A axle housing fixing mechanism is provided at the left end of the processing table 1 for clamping and fixing the axle housing body. A rear cover fixing mechanism is provided at the right end of the processing table 1 for pressing and fixing the rear cover installed on the axle housing body. With the cooperation of the axle housing fixing mechanism and the rear cover fixing mechanism, the precise positioning of the rear cover and the axle housing can be achieved, effectively ensuring the coaxiality and other geometric accuracy of the welded axle housing and the rear cover. The operation is simple and convenient, reducing the labor intensity of workers and greatly improving the clamping efficiency, making it suitable for mass production.

[0018] The axle housing fixing mechanism includes a mounting platform 2, on which a three-jaw chuck 3 is fixedly connected. The three-jaw chuck 3 is fixedly connected to the processing table 1. The three jaws on the three-jaw chuck 3 work together to clamp or release the axle housing body, placing the axle housing body onto the three-jaw chuck 3. Through the synchronous movement of the three jaws of the three-jaw chuck 3, the axle housing body is automatically centered and clamped, ensuring that the axis of the axle housing coincides with the central axis of the three-jaw chuck 3, providing a precise center reference for the subsequent positioning and welding of the rear cover.

[0019] The rear cover fixing mechanism includes a positioning disk 4 and a positioning pin 6. The positioning disk 4 is slidably connected to the processing table 1. Multiple positioning claws 5 are distributed around the circumference of the positioning disk 4. One end of the positioning pin 6 is fixedly connected to the positioning disk 4. The rear cover body is placed on the positioning disk 4, so that the positioning pin 6 is inserted into the positioning groove of the rear cover body, thus completing the initial positioning of the rear cover and ensuring the relative positional relationship between the rear cover and the positioning disk 4, providing a basis for the subsequent clamping of the positioning claws 5.

[0020] It also includes a drive mechanism for moving the positioning disk 4 closer to or further away from the three-jaw chuck 3. The drive mechanism includes a drive table 7 and a sliding table 8. The drive table 7 is fixedly connected to the processing table 1. The sliding table 8 is slidably connected above the drive table 7. The sliding table 8 is connected to a cylinder 9 provided on the drive table 7. A fixed table 10 is fixedly connected above the sliding table 8. A fixed shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the fixed table 10. The fixed shaft 11 is fixedly connected to the positioning disk 4. The cylinder 9 pushes the sliding table 8 to move, causing the fixed table 10 and the fixed shaft 11 to drive the positioning disk 4 and the positioning pin 6 to move toward the three-jaw chuck 3 until the rear cover and the bridge housing body are tightly fitted together.

[0021] The sliding platform 8 includes a slide plate 81 and a clamping plate 82. The slide plate 81 is slidably connected to the top of the drive platform 7. The clamping plates 82 are fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the drive platform 7 on the slide plate 81. The two clamping plates 82 are fixedly connected to each other by a drive plate 83 that passes through the drive platform 7. The drive plate 83 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 84 provided on the drive platform 7. The drive plate 83 is fixedly connected to the piston end of the cylinder 9. In some embodiments, the clamping plates 82 on the front and rear sides are fitted to the front and rear sides of the drive platform 7. The sliding plate 81, clamping plates 82 and drive plate 83 improve the stability of the sliding platform 8 moving on the drive platform 7, which is conducive to the precise docking of the rear cover body and the bridge housing body.

[0022] Limiting strips 85 are fixedly connected to both the upper and lower sides of the drive plate 83 within the sliding groove 84. The limiting strips 85 are set along the length of the sliding groove 84 and are adapted to the limiting grooves 86 set on the drive plate 83. Through the cooperation of the limiting strips 85 and the limiting grooves 86, the straightness of the movement of the drive plate 83 is ensured, and the accuracy of the docking between the rear cover body and the bridge housing body is further ensured.

[0023] A control panel 12 is fixedly connected to the sliding plate, and a pneumatic controller 13 is fixedly connected to the control panel 12. The pneumatic controller 13 facilitates the control of the movement of the cylinder 9, making operation convenient.

[0024] The positioning claw 5 has an inclined surface on the side opposite to the three-jaw chuck 3. The other end of the positioning claw 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14, which is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 4. The inclined surface on the positioning claw 5 facilitates the insertion and fitting of the rear cover body.

[0025] Example 2 like Figure 4-5 As shown, in order to better adapt the positioning claws 5 to the rear cover bodies of different sizes, the mounting plate 14 can also be slidably connected to the positioning disk 4. Through the slidably connected mounting plate 14, the three positioning claws 5 can be adjusted at the same time to adapt to the rear cover bodies of different outer diameters.

[0026] It also includes an adjustment mechanism 15, which is used to make multiple positioning claws 5 simultaneously approach or move away from the center of the positioning disk 4. The adjustment mechanism 15 includes a guide block 151, which is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 14. The guide block 151 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 152 provided in the positioning disk 4. A screw 153 is rotatably connected in the guide groove 152. The screw 153 is threadedly connected to the threaded hole provided on the guide block 151. One end of the screw 153 passes through the rotating groove on the positioning disk 4 and is fixedly connected to a nut 154. Through the provided screw 153 and nut 154, the guide block 151 can slide in the guide groove 152 to adjust the clamping range of the positioning claws 5.

[0027] The guide block 151 has a convex structure, and the guide groove 152 is adapted to the guide block 151, which helps to improve the stability of the movement of the mounting plate 14 and the positioning claw 5.

[0028] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: the bridge housing body is placed on the three-jaw chuck 3, and the three jaws of the three-jaw chuck 3 move synchronously to achieve automatic centering and clamping of the bridge housing body, ensuring that the axis of the bridge housing coincides with the central axis of the three-jaw chuck 3. Place the rear cover body onto the positioning plate 4, so that the positioning pin 6 is inserted into the positioning groove of the rear cover body, thus completing the initial positioning of the rear cover and ensuring the relative positional relationship between the rear cover and the positioning plate 4. Then, the pneumatic controller 13 controls the cylinder 9 to move. The piston end of the cylinder 9 pushes the drive plate 83 to move along the sliding groove 84. The drive plate 83 drives the sliding table 8 to slide on the drive table 7. The sliding table 8 drives the positioning plate 4 and the rear cover body to approach the bridge housing body on the three-jaw chuck 3 through the fixed table 10 and the fixed shaft 11 until the rear cover and the bridge housing are tightly fitted. Welding is performed when the rear cover and axle housing are tightly fitted and precisely positioned, thus completing the welding of the rear cover and axle housing. When the positioning claw 5 needs to be adjusted, rotate each nut 154 in sequence to drive the screw 153 to rotate. Since the screw 153 is threadedly connected to the guide block 151 and the guide block 151 can only slide along the groove in the guide groove 152, the guide block 151 can drive the mounting plate 14 and the positioning claw 5 to move along the guide groove 152, thereby realizing the adjustment of the clamping range of the positioning claw 5.

[0029] Finally, it should be noted that the above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the utility model. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
