Synchronized Welding Head and Base Linkage for Precise Positioning
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing welding devices cannot ensure simultaneous movement of the welding head and welding base, which is necessary for efficient positioning during the welding process.
Innovation Solution
A welding device design that includes a drive unit connected to first and second connecting rods, allowing the welding head and welding base to move synchronously by driving the connecting rods to adjust their positions relative to each other, with optional features like shaping plates and elastic members to manage pressure and stability.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If the welding head and welding base are moved independently to adjust positions, then the positioning flexibility is improved, but the simultaneous movement capability deteriorates
Solution Approach 1:
The patent combines the drive units for the welding head and welding base into a synchronized control system. The first and second drive units are controlled simultaneously to move the welding head and welding base toward each other or away from each other in a coordinated manner, ensuring that both components move together rather than independently. This merging of control functions resolves the contradiction by maintaining positioning flexibility while ensuring reliable simultaneous movement.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent incorporates a control system that receives feedback from sensors detecting the positions of the welding head and welding base. Based on this feedback, the control system adjusts the drive units to maintain synchronized movement. The feedback mechanism ensures that any deviation from the intended simultaneous movement is corrected, thereby maintaining reliability while preserving positioning flexibility through active control adjustments.
2Reliability
If a single drive unit controls both connecting rods, then the simultaneous movement is improved, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent segments the drive system into two separate but synchronized drive units (first drive unit and second drive unit), each controlling one connecting rod. Rather than using a single complex drive unit, the system divides the function into two simpler, independent units that are coordinated through control systems. This segmentation reduces the mechanical complexity of each individual drive unit while maintaining simultaneous movement capability through coordinated control.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent introduces a control system as an intermediary that coordinates between the first and second drive units. This intermediary component receives positioning requirements and distributes appropriate control signals to both drive units, enabling them to work together seamlessly. The control system acts as a mediator that simplifies the overall coordination task while maintaining reliable simultaneous movement of the welding head and base.

AI summary
Disclosed is a welding device, which includes a drive unit, a first connecting rod, a second connecting rod, a welding head and a welding base. The drive unit is in driving connection to one end of the first connecting rod and one end of the second connecting rod; another end of the first connecting rod is in driving connection to the welding head, and is configured for causing, being driven by the drive unit, the welding head to move in a direction close to or away from the welding base; and another end of the second connecting rod is in driving connection to the welding base, and is configured for causing, being driven by the drive unit, the welding base to move in a direction close to or away from the welding head. The present application can ensure the synchronous movement of the welding head and the welding base.
