Abstract

Disclosed is a friction pressure welding apparatus which friction pressure welds two works (WA, WB) by contacting works at a specific force under the state that the pair of works (WA, WB) revolve relative to each other. In order to let the two works (WA, WB) revolve relative to each other, the main shaft (3) holding one of the works (WA) is driven by the two main shaft motors (9, 10) constituted with servo motor. Thus the shock occurring at the time the main shaft (3) stops running and the noise accompanying by the shock are diminished, and furthermore, it is possible to join a pair of works (WA, WB) securely.

Description

Friction push welder

The present invention relates to a kind of friction push welder that can friction pressure welds a pair of workpiece.

The public border of Te Kaiping 3-184680 has gone out friction push welder as shown in Figure 3.As shown in Figure 3, main shaft 91 can be bearing on the pedestal 90 rotationally.The chuck 92 of holding workpiece WA is housed on the front end of main shaft 91.

Chuck slide 91 is bearing on the pedestal 90 towards chuck 92 ground.Chuck slide 94 can be 92 close relative to chuck, remotely main shaft 91 axially on move.Chuck slide 94 has the chuck 93 of holding workpiece WB.Relatively be arranged on the same axis with workpiece WB end face 106,107 each other by the workpiece WA of chuck 92 clampings by chuck 92 clampings.Be provided with the hydraulic type thrust actuating cylinder 97 that chuck slide 94 is moved on the end in pedestal 90.

The main shaft drives motor 96 that is made of common motor is installed on the outside of pedestal 90.Belt pulley 96b is installed on the driving shaft of main shaft drives motor 96 by clutch 96a.Belt pulley 98 is fixed on the main shaft 91.Belt 95 is erected between these two

belt pulley

96b, 98.

Integrally formed cam surface 91a on the end of main shaft 91.Cam 99 with the cam surface 99b that can cooperate with cam surface 91a can be arranged on the same camshaft 99a along camshaft 99a with moving axially.Hydraulic type uncoupling actuating cylinder 102 is housed in the outside of pedestal 90.Clutch lever 101 is that the center is arranged between uncoupling actuating cylinder 102 and the movable cam 99 swingably with axle 100.The phase-regulating mechanism 103 that main shaft 91 is rotated is installed between pedestal 90 and the movable cam 99.

Weld in the occasion of these two workpiece WA, WB at friction pressure, under the state that clutch 96a connects, make 96 work of main shaft drives motor.This driving force is passed to main shaft 91 by belt pulley 96b, belt 95 and belt pulley 98, and main shaft 91 rotates thus.Workpiece WA and main shaft 91 rotate with being integral.In this state, make workpiece WB shift to workpiece WA, and make end face 106,107 contacts each other by thrust actuating cylinder 97.At this moment, the contact pressure of these two end faces 106,107 is first predetermined value.Two end faces 106,107 that rotate under the pressure welded condition generate heat, soften because of friction slip.

Be enough to engage these two workpiece WA, WB heat if on these two end faces 106,107, produced, then cut off the rotation that clutch 96a ground stops main shaft 91.At this moment, under main shaft 91 instantaneous situations about stopping operating, do one's utmost to guarantee that the bond strength between these two workpiece WA, WB is very important.And, when under WB ground relatively is arranged on workpiece WA state on the desirable rotation phase, welding, the relative workpiece WB of workpiece WA be arranged under the state on the desirable rotation phase, probably can't stop main shaft 91.For this reason, when cutting off clutch 96a, move clutch lever 101 by uncoupling actuating cylinder 102, thereby the cam surface 99b of movable cam 99 is cooperated with the cam surface 91a of main shaft 91.As a result, stopped the rotation of main shaft 91 and workpiece WA.; when although the rotation of workpiece WA has stopped and workpiece WA when still workpiece WB departs from desirable rotation phase relatively; by phase-regulating mechanism 103 and by movable cam 99 main shaft 91 is rotated, thereby adjust the rotation phase with the opposed workpiece WA of workpiece WB.Meanwhile, by thrust actuating cylinder 97 the contact pressure of two end faces 106,107 is set at second predetermined value greater than first predetermined value.

So, the relative workpiece WB of workpiece WA be arranged under the state on the desirable rotation phase, these two workpiece WA, WB friction pressure are welded together.

Offer, in above-mentioned friction push welder, because cooperating and mechanically suddenly stop the opposed workpiece WA with workpiece WB between the cam surface 99b of the cam surface 91a by main shaft 91 and movable cam 99, the result has produced thump and the high noisy when rotation stops.As a result, the lost of life of device.

Te Kaiping 9-174260 communique shows a kind of friction push welder that main shaft is rotated by servo motor.If the use servo motor then can very accurately be controlled the slewing rate and the rotational angle of main shaft.And servo motor is to have produced under desirable rotational angle by the electrical control to it to keep brake force that main shaft stops.Therefore, needn't be provided with main shaft is remained on mechanical device under the desirable rotational angle, and when main shaft stops, not producing and impact and the problem of noise.

, export the big large-scale servo motor of torque owing to making main shaft 91 rotate and must be provided with under the state that welds these two workpiece WA, WB at pressure, and large-scale servo motor must be to comprise driving shaft in the very big heavy motors of interior rotor.Therefore, the moment of inertia of rotor increases.Therefore, because of big the moment of inertia can't anxious stall, stopped beginning to main shaft is actual till stopping operating time lengthening from the servo motor of giving an order.As a result, when the bond strength of these two workpiece reduces, departed from desirable position with the rotation phase of opposed another workpiece of one of them workpiece.

The present invention imagines out in order to address the above problem, and its purpose provides a kind of impact and noise and can positively engage the friction push welder of a pair of workpiece together when being reduced in main shaft and stopping.

For reaching above-mentioned purpose, utilizing predetermined force to make in the friction push welder that they weld together these two workpiece friction pressures contiguously under a kind of state that a pair of workpiece is produced relative rotation, in these two workpiece, produce relative rotation by many servo motors.

Fig. 1 is the sectional view of the friction push welder relevant with first embodiment of the invention.

Fig. 2 is the sectional view of the friction push welder relevant with second embodiment of the invention.

Fig. 3 is the sectional view of the friction push welder of prior art.

Followingly the imbody first embodiment of the present invention is described according to Fig. 1.

As shown in Figure 1, main shaft 3 passes through pair of

bearings

2a, 2b free rotation ground supporting in pedestal 1.The chuck 4 of holding workpiece WA is housed on the front end of main shaft 3.In addition, the chuck slide 6 as moving body is bearing in the pedestal 1 opposed to each other with chuck 4.Chuck slide 6 is 4 approaching, the moving axially along main shaft 3 remotely of chuck relatively.Chuck slide 6 is equipped with the chuck 7 of holding workpiece WB.By the workpiece WA of chuck 4 clampings with by its

end faces

17,18 of workpiece WB of chuck 7 clampings in the face of be configured on the same axis.

The hydraulic type thrust actuating cylinder 8 that chuck slide 6 is moved is housed on the end in pedestal 1.On two end faces 17,18, apply the contact pressure that equals first predetermined value and the pressure that contacts greater than second predetermined value of first predetermined value as the thrust actuating cylinder 8 of drive unit.Driven gear 13 is fixed on the end of main shaft 3 by key 16.Two the main shaft drives

motors

9,10 that are made of servo motor are installed in the outside of pedestal 1.As for these two main shaft drives

motors

9,10, the motor that the working power characteristic is identical.So, the adjusting in moment when this two main shaft drives

motors

9,10 are passed to main shaft 3 with driving torque etc. has become easily and drive shaft 3 well.Each driven

wheel

11,12 is fixed on each main shaft drives

axle

9,10 by key 14,15.

Driven wheel

11,12 and driven gear 13 engagements.

In the occasion of friction pressure welding two workpiece WA, WB, make this two main shaft drives motors, 9,10 work.The driving force of these main shaft drives

motors

9,10 is passed to main shaft 3 by driven

wheel

11,12 and driven gear 13, and main shaft 3 rotates thus.Workpiece WA and main shaft 3 rotate with being integral.Under this state, make workpiece WB shift to workpiece WA by thrust actuating cylinder 8, make this two end faces, 17,18 contacts thus.At this moment, thrust actuating cylinder 8 applies the contact pressure of first predetermined value on two end faces 17,18.Two end faces 17,18 generate heat, soften because of friction slip in relative rotation under the state of pressure welding.

Main shaft 3 has been applied driving torque from these two main shaft drives motors 9,10.Therefore, each main

shaft drives motor

9,10 can be the little comparison compact motor of output torque, but also can be the bigger motor of driving torque that applies to main shaft 3.Therefore, if the driving torque that should apply for main shaft 3 is identical, when then using two servo motors with using a servo motor to compare, motor itself can miniaturization.

If the heating of these two workpiece WA, WB between two end faces 17,18, occurred being enough to engage, send then for two main shaft drives

motors

9,10 and cease and desist order.So, main

shaft drives motor

shaft

9a, 10a is small and light certainly, so its moment of inertia diminishes.Therefore, can make that rotor is anxious to stop, begin to rotate having shortened during this period of time till actual the stopping to main shaft 3 from sending for main shaft drives

motor

9,10 to cease and desist order.When roughly stopping with the rotation that makes main shaft 3, the contact pressure side of having incited somebody to action both ends of the

surface

17,18 by thrust actuating cylinder 8 becomes second predetermined value bigger than above-mentioned first predetermined value.

As mentioned above, in the present embodiment, stop main shaft 3 and under the contact pressure of second predetermined value, make both ends of the

surface

17,18 mutual extrusion owing to instantaneous basically, so firmly and indeed these two workpiece WA, WB are joined together.And, can make rotation phase and desirable position consistency really with opposed another workpiece of one of them workpiece WB WA.In addition, can be by electrical control main

shaft drives motor

9,10 to the effects of main

shaft drives motor

9,10 performance brake force itself, so impact and noise when not producing main shaft 3 stalls have prolonged life-span of device thus.In addition because the moment of inertia of main shaft drives

motor

9,10 rotors becomes very little, so driving

shaft

9a, 10a become very short in, can use very light material supporting rotor.

Weld in the occasion of these two workpiece WA, WB at friction pressure, the ground identical with the embodiment of Fig. 1 drives two main shaft drives motors 9,10.The driving force of these rotating shaft CD-

ROM drive motors

9,10 is passed to main shaft 3 by driven

wheel

11,12 and driven gear 13, and main shaft 3 rotates thus.Workpiece WA and main shaft 3 rotate with being integral.Under this state, by sending motor 22 to spherical nut 23 is rotated, thereby ball-screw 21 is moved.So, workpiece WB shifts to workpiece WA, thus 17,18 contacts of mutual end face.At this moment, sending motor 22 to applies the contact pressure of first predetermined value for both ends of the surface 17,18.Both ends of the

surface

17,18 heatings in relative rotation, softening under the pressure welded condition.

If the heating of these two workpiece WA, WB between these two end faces 17,18, occurred being enough to engage, then with the embodiment of Fig. 1 in the same manner, send for these two main shaft drives

motors

9,10 and cease and desist order.So, main shaft drives

motor

9,10 performance brake force the rotation of main shaft 3 is stopped.When roughly stopping, becoming second predetermined value bigger than above-mentioned first predetermined value by sending the contact pressure that motor 22 makes both ends of the

surface

17,18 to the rotation of main shaft 3.
