Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy electric vehicle technology, specifically to a workpiece positioning and clamping device for laser welding of liquid-cooled plates in electric vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] Electric vehicle liquid cooling plates transfer heat generated by the battery to the coolant through the circulation of coolant in internal channels. Utilizing the coolant's high specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity, the heat is quickly absorbed and carried away, thereby reducing the battery temperature. (See attached image) Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, an electric vehicle liquid cooling plate includes an upper flow channel plate 1 and a lower plate 2, which are welded together. The upper flow channel plate 1 is formed with a meandering and through groove 1-1 by a stamping process. The lower plate 2 has coolant inlet and outlet nozzles 2-1 at both ends. After the upper flow channel plate 1 and the lower plate 2 are welded, the bottom surface of the groove 1-1 of the upper flow channel plate 1 is closed by the lower plate 2 to form a coolant flow channel. The coolant inlet and outlet nozzles 2-1 of the lower plate 2 are connected to the two ends of the coolant flow channel. In order to ensure the fixed assembly of the liquid cooling plate with the battery module, two rows of upper flow channel plate assembly holes 1-2 and lower plate assembly holes 2-2 are respectively provided in the middle part of the upper flow channel plate 1 and the lower plate 2. After the upper flow channel plate 1 and the lower plate 2 are welded, the two rows of upper flow channel plate assembly holes 1-2 and lower plate assembly holes 2-2 overlap to form a liquid cooling plate assembly hole with a peripheral sealing structure.

[0003] With the continuous development of new energy vehicle technology, laser welding, with its advantages of fast welding speed, high connection strength, and small welding deformation, has been applied to the welding process of liquid cooling plates in new energy electric vehicles. Comparing liquid cooling plate structures produced using brazing and laser welding processes, under the same strength conditions, the laser-welded liquid cooling plate is thinner, reducing raw material usage and better suited to the development concept of lightweight automobiles. Furthermore, because high-temperature brazing furnaces are energy-intensive and easily produce harmful gases such as hydrogen fluoride, direct emission into the atmosphere does not meet the standards of green manufacturing and requires gas treatment. Laser welding does not have these problems. Therefore, using laser-welded liquid cooling plates also has the advantages of low cost and less environmental pollution. (Regarding the attached...) Figure 1 , Figure 2 In order to achieve precise positioning of the upper flow channel plate 1 and the lower plate 2 during the laser welding process and ensure the overlap of the assembly holes 1-2 of the upper flow channel plate and the assembly holes 2-2 of the lower plate, the workpiece positioning and clamping device for laser welding of electric vehicle liquid cooling plates needs to be optimized. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a workpiece positioning and clamping device for laser welding of liquid-cooled plates in electric vehicles. It aims to match the laser welding process of liquid-cooled plates and optimize the design of the workpiece positioning and clamping device to ensure accurate positioning of the workpiece, reduce production costs, reduce environmental pollution, and achieve the development goal of lightweighting of automobiles.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A positioning and clamping device for laser welding workpieces of liquid-cooled plates in electric vehicles includes a base assembly, a liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism, a lower plate adsorption mechanism, a liquid-cooled plate peripheral pressing mechanism, and a liquid-cooled plate assembly hole peripheral pressing mechanism. The base assembly includes a reference plate, a workpiece support assembly, side panels, and a bottom plate. The bottom plate is placed on a horizontal plane, and the reference plate is located above the bottom plate. The reference plate and the bottom plate are connected by the side panels to form a cavity structure box. A liquid cooling plate positioning mechanism and a lower plate adsorption mechanism are installed on the reference plate. The liquid cooling plate positioning mechanism consists of two parts, which are respectively matched with a set of assembly holes in the front and rear rows of assembly holes of the liquid cooling plate. Each part is provided with a positioning pin and a positioning pin telescopic cylinder. The positioning pin telescopic cylinder is arranged in the housing of the base assembly. The positioning pin is driven by the positioning pin telescopic cylinder to pass through the corresponding lower plate assembly hole and upper flow channel plate assembly hole. The lower plate adsorption mechanism includes several sets of vacuum suction cup units, which adsorb and fix the lower plate by vacuum suction cups. The liquid cooling plate periphery pressing mechanism and the liquid cooling plate assembly hole periphery pressing mechanism are arranged around the base plate, wherein the liquid cooling plate assembly hole periphery pressing mechanism corresponds to the positions of the front and rear rows of liquid cooling plate assembly holes on the liquid cooling plate.

[0006] The above-mentioned electric vehicle liquid-cooled plate laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device has two sets of liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism clearance holes on the reference plate of the base assembly. The two sets of liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism clearance holes are respectively matched with two parts of the liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism.

[0007] The above-mentioned electric vehicle liquid-cooled plate laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device, the workpiece support component of the base assembly consists of a first workpiece support seat and a support frame with the same shape as the periphery of the liquid-cooled plate workpiece. The first workpiece support seat corresponds to the position of the liquid-cooled plate assembly hole on the liquid-cooled plate workpiece, except for the liquid-cooled plate assembly hole through which the positioning pin passes.

[0008] The above-mentioned laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device for electric vehicle liquid-cooled plates includes a second workpiece support seat and a positioning pin telescopic cylinder mounting seat in each part of the liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism. The positioning pin telescopic cylinder and the second workpiece support seat are fixedly assembled with the reference plate through the positioning pin telescopic cylinder mounting seat. The second workpiece support seat passes through the clearance hole of the liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism on the reference plate and exits from the housing of the base assembly. The positioning pin telescopic cylinder is arranged vertically, and its telescopic rod extends upward, with a positioning pin fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod.

[0009] In the aforementioned laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device for liquid-cooled plates in electric vehicles, the vacuum suction cup unit of the lower plate adsorption mechanism is arranged to avoid the first workpiece support seat of the workpiece support assembly. A third workpiece support seat and a vacuum plug are also provided in the vacuum suction cup unit. The third workpiece support seat is installed on the reference plate of the base assembly, and a vacuum suction cup is embedded in the third workpiece support seat. The vacuum plug is arranged at the edge of the third workpiece support seat and is connected to the vacuum suction cup and a separately provided vacuum device through a pipeline.

[0010] In the above-mentioned laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device for electric vehicle liquid-cooled plates, the upper surfaces of the first workpiece support, the second workpiece support, the third workpiece support, and the support frame are located on the same horizontal plane.

[0011] The above-mentioned laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device for electric vehicle liquid-cooled plates includes a liquid-cooled plate peripheral clamping mechanism comprising several sets of first clamping units. Each first clamping unit is equipped with a downward clamping clamp and a first tilting cylinder. The downward clamping clamp is driven by the first tilting cylinder, and a first clamping block is provided at the clamping head of the downward clamping clamp.

[0012] The above-mentioned laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device for electric vehicle liquid-cooled plates includes a liquid-cooled plate assembly hole perimeter clamping mechanism comprising four sets of second clamping units arranged on the left and right. Each second clamping unit is equipped with a long-arm clamping clamp and a second tilting cylinder. The long-arm clamping clamp is driven by the second tilting cylinder. A second clamping block is provided on the long arm of the long-arm clamping clamp, and a liquid-cooled plate assembly hole clearance groove is provided on the second clamping block.

[0013] The aforementioned electric vehicle liquid-cooled plate laser welding workpiece positioning and clamping device is also equipped with an electrical control box, which is located at one end of the base plate of the base assembly. The electrical control box controls the operation of the liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism, the lower plate adsorption mechanism, the liquid-cooled plate peripheral pressing mechanism, and the liquid-cooled plate assembly hole peripheral pressing mechanism.

[0014] This utility model provides a workpiece positioning and clamping device for laser welding of liquid-cooled plates in electric vehicles. It uses a liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism to cooperate with the upper flow channel plate assembly hole and the lower plate assembly hole to accurately position the upper flow channel plate and the lower plate of the liquid-cooled plate. This ensures that the coolant inlet and outlet nozzles of the lower plate are connected to the front and rear ends of the coolant flow channel formed between the upper flow channel plate and the lower plate. Because the positioning pin telescopic cylinder of the liquid-cooled plate positioning mechanism is arranged in the housing of the base assembly, it avoids the positioning pin telescopic cylinder from obstructing the weld seam when welding around the liquid-cooled plate assembly hole. This invention is compatible with laser welding processes. First, the inlet and outlet nozzles of the liquid cooling plate are welded to the lower plate. Then, welding is performed around the assembly holes of the liquid cooling plate. During this process, the lower plate adsorption mechanism adsorbs the lower plate through vacuum negative pressure. With the support of the upper end face of the first workpiece support, second workpiece support, third workpiece support, and support frame located on the same horizontal plane, the flatness of the lower plate is ensured. At the same time, the liquid cooling plate perimeter pressing mechanism and the liquid cooling plate assembly hole perimeter pressing mechanism are arranged around the base plate of the base assembly to press and fix the upper flow channel plate of the liquid cooling plate to the perimeter of the lower plate and the outer perimeter of the weld seam of the liquid cooling plate assembly hole, ensuring the smooth progress of the laser welding process. Then, the second tilting cylinder in the liquid cooling plate assembly hole perimeter pressing mechanism drives the long-arm clamping clamp to open, avoiding the weld seam area around the liquid cooling plate, and welding is performed on the perimeter of the upper flow channel plate and the lower plate. After welding the upper flow channel plate and the lower plate around the periphery of the liquid cooling plate and the assembly holes of the liquid cooling plate, a cavity is formed between the upper flow channel plate and the lower plate, with only the coolant inlet and outlet nozzles communicating with the outside. At this point, a vacuum device can be used to evacuate the liquid cooling plate cavity through the coolant inlet and outlet nozzles, ensuring a tight fit between the non-groove area of ​​the upper flow channel plate and the lower plate. This guarantees the reliability of the subsequent welding process in the non-cooled flow channel area of ​​the liquid cooling plate and improves welding efficiency. In summary, this utility model, through the optimized design of the workpiece positioning and clamping device for laser welding of liquid cooling plates in electric vehicles, ensures accurate workpiece positioning, reduces production costs, reduces environmental pollution, and achieves the development goal of lightweight automobiles.
