TWO-WAY WELDING GUN - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18129471 titled 'TWO-WAY WELDING GUN
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a two-way welding gun that can switch between two different welding tips depending on the shape of the flange of a vehicle body panel, allowing for easier spot welding.
- The welding gun includes a first welding tip and a second welding tip, each selected based on the shape of the flange of the vehicle body panel.
- The first welding tip is used for spot welding flanges of vehicle body panels that match its shape, while the second welding tip is used for flanges with a different shape that match the second welding tip.
- This innovation simplifies the spot welding process for vehicle body panels with different flange shapes, increasing efficiency and accuracy.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in automotive manufacturing for spot welding vehicle body panels with different flange shapes.
Problems Solved
1. Difficulty in spot welding vehicle body panels with varying flange shapes. 2. Inefficiency in the welding process due to the need for different tools for different flange shapes.
Benefits
1. Improved efficiency in spot welding process. 2. Enhanced accuracy in welding vehicle body panels with different flange shapes.
Potential Commercial Applications
"Two-Way Welding Gun for Vehicle Body Panel Spot Welding" can be used in automotive manufacturing plants to streamline the welding process for different types of vehicle body panels.
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing welding guns with interchangeable tips for different welding applications, but the specific adaptation for vehicle body panel spot welding based on flange shape may be a novel feature.
Unanswered Questions
How does the welding gun determine which welding tip to use based on the flange shape?
The abstract does not provide details on the mechanism or technology used to automatically select the appropriate welding tip.
Are there any limitations to the types of flange shapes that can be accommodated by this two-way welding gun?
It is unclear from the abstract whether there are restrictions on the range of flange shapes that can be effectively spot welded using this technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
A two-way welding gun includes a first welding tip or a second welding tip selected to be used depending on the shape of the flange of a vehicle body panel, which is an object for the spot welding, so that flanges of first vehicle body panels each including a shape matching the first welding tip are easily spot welded to each other using the first welding tip, and flanges of second vehicle body panels each including a shape different from the first welding tip but matching the second welding tip are easily spot welded to each other using the second welding tip.
