A vehicle body combination structure includes a center floor panel extending from a lower portion of a vehicle body along a longitudinal direction of the vehicle body, and a rear floor panel disposed at a rear of the vehicle body and connected to the center floor panel, wherein one end surface of the center floor panel and one end surface of the rear floor panel are vertically overlapped to form an overlap region, and wherein the rear floor panel and the center floor panel form a wheel base of the vehicle body.

Method for welding two stainless steel sheets of thickness (e) 0.10 to 6.0 mm and having a particular composition having: a first welding step lasting a time (t) in ms: 0.10 to 0.50 mm, t=(40×e+36)±10%; 0.51 to 1.50 mm: t=(124×e 13)±10%; 1.51 to 6.0 mm: t=(12×e+47)±10%; with clamping force (F) in daN: 0.10 to 1.50 mm: F=(250×e+90)±10%; 1.51 mm to 6.0 mm: F=(180×e+150)±10%; appling a current between the welding electrodes, of intensity between 80 and 100% the maximum permissible intensity corresponding to expulsion of molten metal; a second step with an intensity between zero and 1 kA; and a third step with an intensity of 3.5 kA to 4.5 kA, for a time of at least 755 ms.

A method for providing a component assembly for a motor vehicle includes inserting a weldable element into an opening of a first metal sheet such that a joint is defined between the weldable element and the first metal sheet and such that a reservoir connected to the joint is preserved at a first side of the first metal sheet that faces a second metal sheet where the reservoir is open in a direction toward the second metal sheet. The method further includes applying an adhesive to the first side of the first metal sheet and/or to the second metal sheet and placing the second metal sheet against the first metal sheet and the weldable element and welding the second metal sheet to the weldable element.

A component loading-welding system for welding a component panel to a vehicle body panel includes a rotation portion body having first and second opposing sides. The first opposing side is coupled to a robot arm. A picking device is installed in the rotation portion body and is configured to hold and release the component panel. A vehicle body pressurizing tip is installed in the rotation portion body. A pressurizing portion body is rotatably installed at the second opposing side of the rotation portion body. A pin clamp is installed in the pressurizing portion body and is configured to clamp the component panel. A component pressurizing tip is installed in the pressurizing portion body and is configured to apply pressure to the component panel. A multi point projection welding method is also disclosed.

A method for electric welding a workpiece arrangement having at least one workpiece with the aid of a robot arrangement including at least one robot. A rotational movement is carried out between the workpiece arrangement to be welded and at least one welding electrode which contacts the workpiece arrangement. The rotational movement is started as a function of a commanded and/or detected welding start and/or ended as a function of a commanded and/or detected welding end. The direction of rotation of the movement may be changed as a function of a predefined parameter during contact between the welding electrode and the workpiece arrangement.

A filter, a manufacturing method for a filter, and an air conditioner are provided. The filter includes a casing (10), a transition tube (20), and a filter screen assembly (30). The filter screen assembly (30) is provided in the casing (10), fitted with and connected to an inner wall of the casing (10), the casing (10) is an integrally formed piece, and two axial ends of the casing (10) have neck sections (11), and two neck sections (11) are both fixedly connected to the transition tube (20).

Rivet dispenser systems and methods of use thereof are provided. In a non-limiting embodiment, the rivet dispenser system comprises a rivet receiving member defining a channel therein, and a seat member. The channel includes a curved region. The rivet receiving member comprises a first port and a second port. The first port communicates with the channel and is configured to receive rivets. The second port communicates with the channel and is configured to dispense rivets. The channel extends between the first port and the second port and is configured to transport rivets from the first port to the second port in a series arrangement and in a preselected orientation. The seat member communicates with the second port and is configured to selectively engage with a rivet holder of a resistance spot rivet welding apparatus and introduce a single rivet to the rivet holder at one time.
