Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of mechanical manufacturing fixtures, in particular to workpiece positioning and clamping process equipment suitable for laser welding.
Background
Laser welding, i.e. laser welding, is an efficient and precise welding method using a laser beam with high energy density as a heat source. Laser welding is one of the important aspects of the application of laser material processing technology. The laser radiation heats the surface of the workpiece, the surface heat is diffused inside through heat conduction, and the workpiece is melted by controlling parameters such as the width, the energy, the peak power, the repetition frequency and the like of laser pulse to form a specific molten pool. Due to the unique advantages, the welding method is successfully applied to the precise welding of micro and small parts.
In the prior art, when laser welding operation is performed on a sheet product, the sheet product is easy to deform due to the fact that the thickness and the area of the sheet product are large, and the processing quality of the product is affected. Meanwhile, most of the welding between the small workpieces and the thin sheet products is small, and the small workpieces are not easy to accurately position when placed on the thin sheet products with large areas, so that the standard requirements are difficult to achieve. And small workpieces are not easy to take and place, and a large amount of time is needed for placing the small workpieces, so that the production efficiency of products is influenced.

Detailed Description
The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
The invention takes a sheet product and a small welding piece as an example, and introduces the specific structure of the laser welding clamp in detail. The thin sheet product has large area and thin thickness (for example, the thickness is 0.2mm), and can be called as a welding parent part in a wider sense; the welding tip is a ring-like part in this embodiment, which is very small in size (e.g., 1mm in diameter and 1mm in height), and may be referred to in a broader sense as a welding tip, and the laser welding fixture disclosed in this embodiment is the tooling for providing a fixed position and pressure for welding the tip and the sheet product for laser welding.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, a laser welding jig has a table 10 fixed to a support frame, which mainly includes two parts, a side plate 11 and a bottom plate 12, wherein the side plate 11 is fixedly connected between the table 10 and the bottom plate 12. The stationary table 10 is used to support the sheet product 40 and ensure that the sheet product 40 is not deformed by the upward pressure. The side plate 11 has a side supporting function and provides a support supporting function for the whole set of jig. The bottom plate 12 plays a role in fixing, and the upper mechanism can be stably placed on a desktop.
The pressing and holding mechanism of the laser welding fixture is arranged above the workbench 10 and mainly comprises a pressing cylinder 21 and a pressing plate 20, the pressing cylinder 21 is arranged on the supporting frame, and the pressing plate 21 is located above the workbench 10 and connected with a piston rod of the pressing cylinder 21. The push-down cylinder 21 and the push-up cylinder 33 to be mentioned below are used as a linear reciprocating power device, and from the viewpoint of those skilled in the art, the push-down cylinder 21 or the push-up cylinder 33 may be replaced by a power device such as an oil cylinder or an electric push rod, and it is more appropriate to select a cylinder in consideration of pressure, speed, cost, and the like. Therefore, the upper jack cylinder 33 may be broadly referred to as a first linear reciprocating power unit, and the lower jack cylinder 21 may be broadly referred to as a second linear reciprocating power unit.
The platen 20 is provided with a raised weld daughter ram 202 and a weld mother profile 201. The welding sub-part pressure head 202 is used for being matched with the welding main part supporting part 302 of the positioning pin 30 to press and hold the thin sheet product 40 on the small welding part 41, and the welding main part shaping surface 201 is matched with the supporting table surface 10 of the workbench to prevent the thin sheet product 40 from being heated, deformed and warped in the welding process.
The positioning mechanism of the laser welding fixture is arranged below the workbench 10 and mainly comprises an upper ejection cylinder 33, an ejection plate 31 and a positioning pin 30, the upper ejection cylinder 33 is mounted on the support frame, the ejection plate is connected with a piston rod of the upper ejection cylinder 33, the positioning pin 30 is in sliding fit with a guide hole of the workbench 10 and is placed on the ejection plate 31, and the guide hole of the workbench 10 is a through hole, so that the positioning pin 30 can conveniently extend out of a support table surface of the workbench 10 from bottom to top. In order to improve the reliability of use, a guide bush 13 is fixedly provided in a guide hole of the table, and at this time, the guide bush 13 is slidably fitted to the positioning pin 30.
As shown in fig. 7, the head of the positioning pin 30 is a stepped shaft, the small head of the stepped shaft is a welding sub positioning portion 301, and the shoulder of the stepped shaft is a welding parent support portion 302. The welding sub-part positioning part 301 is used for positioning the welding small part 41, the welding parent-part supporting part 302 provides support for the sheet product 40, and when the pressing plate 20 presses downwards, the pressing force of the pressing plate 20 acting on the welding small part 41 and the supporting force of the welding parent-part supporting part 302 on the sheet product 40 firmly press the welding small part 41 on the sheet product 40, so that the welding quality is ensured.
The positioning pin 30 is sleeved with a compression spring 32. On one hand, the upper jacking force which is applied to the upper jacking plate 31 by the upper jacking cylinder 33 and acts on the positioning pin 30 plays a role in buffering, and on the other hand, when the upper jacking cylinder 33 returns, the positioning pin 30 is assisted to be separated from the workpiece, and the unloading efficiency is further improved.
One end of the ejector plate guide column 35 is in threaded connection with the workbench 10, and the ejector plate guide column 35 is in sliding fit with the guide hole of the ejector plate 31 so as to provide guidance for the ejector plate 31 in the up-and-down moving process. The ejector plate guide post 35 is sleeved with a limit sleeve 34, and the limit sleeve 34 is located between the workbench 10 and the ejector plate 31. The axial length of the limiting sleeve 34 is related to the extending height of the positioning pin 30, when the length of the limiting sleeve 34 is proper, the welding female part 40 cannot be ejected from the workbench 10, and the welding female part is reliably pressed and held on a supporting table top of the workbench 10 when the pressing plate 20 presses down, so that the welding thermal deformation is reduced, the positioning pin 30 is prevented from being ejected excessively, and the workpiece is prevented from being pressed forcibly.
The working principle and the working process of the embodiment are as follows:
