Description

[0001] SPOILER PRODUCTION USING TORSIONAL WELDING AND ADHESIVE

[0002] FIELD OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The present invention relates to the combined use of torsional welding and adhesive application to provide structural durability and an aesthetic appearance on the surface in spoiler production.

[0004] PRIOR ART

[0005] Spoilers are aerodynamic parts used in cars. Spoiler parts improve the vehicle's handling and stability at high speeds. Spoiler parts are connected using high strength adhesives. High strength adhesives tend to peel under high stress. At the same time, they experience performance loss under high temperatures and mechanical loads. The adhesive needs to be cured for a certain period of time. This slows down the production process.

[0006] In the state of the art, spoiler parts are welded using laser welding, MIG (Metal inert gas) and TIG (Tungsten inert gas) welding methods. The mentioned welding methods cause traces and deformations to occur on the surface during the welding process. These marks on the surface cause the piece to lose its aesthetic appearance. At the same time, the high temperature generated during the welding process in the mentioned welding types causes thermal damage to the material structure of the parts.

[0007] Factors that negatively affect production include the formation of welding marks on the surface of the parts during the welding process, thermal damage to the parts due to high temperatures, and having to wait a certain period of time for adhesion to occur during the bonding process.

[0008] As a result, all abovementioned problems have made it necessary to make an improvement in the relevant technical field. OBJECT OF THE INVENTION

[0009] The present invention aims to eliminate the abovementioned problems and to make a development in the relevant technical field.

[0010] The main object of the present invention is to reveal the structure of using torsional welding and adhesive application together to provide structural durability and an aesthetic appearance on the surface in spoiler production.

[0044] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0045] In this detailed description, the inventive subject Spoiler Production Using Torsional Welding and Adhesive is described by means of examples only for clarifying the subject matter such that no limiting effect is created.

[0046] The present invention relates to the combined use of torsional welding and adhesive application to provide structural durability and an aesthetic appearance on the surface in spoiler production.

[0047] The combined use of bonding and torsional welding processes in the invention ensures a high-strength, durable and aesthetically perfect connection between the parts. At the same time, torsional welding creates a high-strength connection between the parts, while leaving no marks on the aesthetic surface and reducing the risk of thermal damage.

[0048] As seen in Figure 1 , the invention holding apparatus (110) has an outer surface (111) positioned on the said holding apparatus (110). Said holding apparatus (110) is the surface that ensures the parts remain stable during the process of placing the parts and provides stability during welding and bonding processes. Outer surface (111) has aesthetic and aerodynamic properties that protects the internal components of the part from environmental factors. There is skeleton (112) that is connected to the outer surface (111) that forms the support structure of the said part and increases the durability and strength of the part by ensuring its structural integrity during the welding process, The connection between the outer surface (111) and the skeleton (112) is achieved by welding and adhesive application. The outer surface (111) placed on the holding apparatus (110) and the skeleton (112) are kept fixed by the clamp (116) in order to ensure consistency in the welding and bonding process. While placing and fixing the parts consisting of the outer surface (111) and the skeleton (112) on the holding apparatus (110), the sensor (114) controls whether the parts are in the position to be welded and bonded. The torsional welding process mentioned in the invention is carried out by a head (113). There is an adhesive (115) that increases the strength by ensuring that the outer surface (111) and the skeleton (112) stick together. In the preferred embodiment of the invention, the adhesive (115) is selected from the group comprising epoxy adhesives, polyurethane adhesives, acrylic adhesives and silicone adhesives. The application of the said adhesive

[0049] (115) to the parts is provided by the gun (1151).

[0050] The spoiler part mentioned in the invention consists of the outer surface (111) and the skeleton (112). The said outer surface (111) is placed on the holding apparatus (110) The sensor (114) controls whether the outer surface (111) is in a suitable position for welding and bonding. If the outer surface (111 ) is in the appropriate position, surface cleaning and roughening processes are applied to ensure that the said outer surface (111) is ready for the bonding process before the adhesive (115) is applied. After the cleaning and roughening of the outer surface, the bonding process is started with the gun. The application of the adhesive (115) to the outer surface (111) is performed with the gun (1151). The sensor (114) controls whether the said skeleton (112) is in a suitable position for welding and bonding in order to ensure contact with the outer surface (111 ). If the said skeleton (112) is placed in the appropriate position on the outer surface (111 ), the clamp

[0051] (116) ensures that the outer surface (11) and the skeleton (112) are fixed to each other. The welding process is carried out while the bonding process is completed by fixing the parts together with the clamp (116). The welding process is carried out by the head (113).

[0052] In Figures 2 and 3, the spoiler production system using torsional welding and adhesive (A) consists of the part placement unit (10), outer surface unit (20), sensor unit (30), surface activation unit (40), adhesive application unit (50), skeleton positioning unit (60), clamping unit (70), monitoring and control unit (80), welding unit (90) and disassembly and finishing unit (100).

[0053] The part placement unit (10) enables the parts to be placed on the holding apparatus, which is the surface where the welding process is carried out. The spoiler consists of outer surface and skeleton parts. There is an outer surface unit (20) that enables the outer surface to be positioned in the position to be welded to the holding apparatus and to be bonded. The control of whether the said outer surface is in the appropriate position is provided by the sensor unit (30). After the outer surface is positioned in a position suitable for welding and bonding, the surface activation unit (40) ensures that the outer surface is suitable for bonding. The mentioned surface activation unit (40) ensures that the part is ready for the bonding process by cleaning and roughening the surface. There is a skeleton positioning unit (60) that ensures the skeleton is positioned in the position to be welded and bonded, which increases the durability and strength of the part by ensuring its structural integrity during the welding process. The control of whether the said skeleton is in position to be welded and glued is likewise provided by the sensor unit (30). There is a clamping unit (70) that fixes the outer surface and the skeleton forming the part to ensure consistency in the welding and bonding process, After the outer surface is made suitable for bonding by the surface activation unit (40), the bonding process is carried out by the adhesive application unit (50). The welding unit (90) ensures that the outer surface and the skeleton, which are fixed to each other by the clamp unit (70), are welded together. The monitoring and control unit (80) ensures the control of welding time and welding pressure during welding of the parts, and the control of heat and temperature parameters during the welding and bonding process. After the welding and bonding process is completed, there is a disassembly and completion unit (100) that informs the removal of the parts and the completion of the process.

[0054] In Figure 4, the parts are first placed in the spoiler production method using torsional welding and adhesive (A). The outer surface of the part is positioned in the position where it will be welded and bonded. The sensor controls whether the outer surface is in the appropriate position. After the outer surface is positioned in the appropriate position, the surface is cleaned and roughened before the adhesive is applied, thus making the part ready for the bonding process. After cleaning and roughening the surface, the adhesive is applied to the part and the bonding process is started. After the bonding process is initiated, the skeleton, which forms the support structure of the said part, is positioned in the position to be welded and bonded in order to increase the durability and strength of the part by ensuring its structural integrity during the welding process. The sensor ensures that the skeleton is positioned in the appropriate position. After the skeleton is positioned in the appropriate position, the skeleton is fixed with the outer surface forming the part to ensure consistency in the welding and bonding process. After the parts are fixed, the bonding process is completed. After the bonding process is completed, the parts are welded. During the welding process, control of welding time and welding pressure, and control of heat and temperature parameters during welding and bonding processes are ensured. As a result of the control performed, after the welding and bonding process is completed, the parts are removed and the process is completed. While placing and fixing the parts, the sensor is used to check whether the parts are in the position to be welded.
