Front cover flexible clamp

Abstract

A front cover flexible clamp relates to the field of special clamp equipment used for trial manufacture of vehicle body parts and spare part production in an automobile manufacturing enterprise. The front cover flexible clamp comprises a flexible bottom plate, a connecting module, a supporting and positioning mechanism, an air cylinder compacting mechanism and a coarse positioning mechanism. The front cover flexible clamp is designed by adopting the double-layer bottom plate, an upright post structure is uniformly adjusted in X, Y, Z directions and is rotationally adjusted around a Z axis, and an interface replaced by a clamping head adopts a structure that a square groove is matched with a bolt; the design has the benefit that the upper layer of the bottom plate can quench and is high in hardness; all functional components of a general clamp are covered, and only the clamping head of the clamp for different parts needs to be made; the quick switching of the clamp can be realized, and meanwhile, the positioning precision and the resetting precision are high. The clamping heads of different clamps can be independently disassembled, marked and stored in a centralized manner, so that the site is effectively saved. The process of switching the different clamps is simple and easy to understand; the front cover flexible clamp is particularly suitable for occasions with low requirements for spare part production rate and trial manufacture rate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of special clamping equipment used for the trial production of body parts and the production of spare parts in automobile manufacturing enterprises, in particular to a front cover flexible clamp. Background technique [0002] In the current trial production, in order to obtain a unified Z-direction reference, a whole steel plate is used as the reference plate (also known as the bottom plate, Base plate, base plate in the industry...), and a series of uniform specifications are processed on the reference plate. , "Pin-screw coaxial holes" with consistent spacing. This allows mounting to this baseplate as long as the locating and attachment holes on the base of the clamp strut meet the same standard. But the disadvantage is that facing different parts, the entire fixture pillar needs to be replaced, and the cost is huge; what is more troublesome is that the reference version is huge and cannot be quenched. After replac...
