Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an electric drive axle tube pressing device, belonging to the field of automotive parts processing and manufacturing technology. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electric vehicles, the structure of rear drive axles has also diversified, mainly including hub motor type, parallel shaft type, and coaxial direct-drive type. Among them, the coaxial direct-drive axle has the advantages of small space occupation, high transmission efficiency, and good NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness) performance. The structure mainly consists of three parts: central drive system, left axle tube assembly, and right axle tube assembly. The left and right axle tube assemblies mostly adopt a tube and forging press-welded structure. The flange, intermediate axle tube, and end cap have certain dimensional accuracy requirements such as angle and coaxiality. Currently, most of the industry uses special equipment to complete the press-fitting, but the equipment cycle is long and cannot fully meet the customer's requirements for sample delivery cycle. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an electric drive axle tube pressing device. As a highly flexible device, it has a short design and processing cycle and low manufacturing cost. It can press-fit left and right axle tube assemblies of different specifications by changing parts such as upper positioning plate, lower positioning plate, and limit block. The device has a built-in limit function and can use ordinary standard presses or equipment with pressing function to achieve rapid sample trial production, meet the sample submission cycle, and ensure product quality.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: an electric drive axle tube pressing device, characterized in that: it includes an upper pressing and positioning device, a lower positioning device and a guide and reset device;

[0005] The upper pressing and positioning device includes an upper connecting plate, an upper pressure plate is provided above the upper connecting plate, and an upper positioning plate with an upper positioning pin is provided below the upper connecting plate; multiple magnets are provided on the upper positioning plate.

[0006] The lower positioning device includes a lower connecting plate, and a lower positioning disk is provided on the lower connecting plate;

[0007] The guide reset device includes a guide post, on which an upper limit plate, a guide sleeve, a spring pressure block, a reset spring, a spring limit block, and a lower positioning seat are respectively provided;

[0008] It also includes a support base, which mates with the lower connecting plate below and has a limit block above.

[0009] Furthermore: the upper limit plate is fixed to the top of the guide post with bolts; the guide sleeve, spring pressure block, and reset spring are respectively sleeved on the outside of the guide post; the spring limit block is sleeved on the outside of the guide post and fixed with bolts; the lower positioning seat is integrally connected to or fixedly connected to the guide post.

[0010] Furthermore: the upper end of the guide post slides into the guide hole on the upper connecting plate; the lower end of the guide post is interference-fitted with the fixing hole on the lower connecting plate and is bolted to the lower connecting plate via the lower positioning seat.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a spring guard, which is fitted over the outside of the return spring and connected at its upper end to the spring pressure block.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: Because this utility model uses an upper clamping positioning device to achieve vertical guiding movement through a guiding and resetting device, the upper clamping positioning device has an upper positioning plate and an upper positioning pin for positioning the flange at its middle position. The upper positioning plate has numerous mounting holes for embedding magnets to attract the flange. The upper and lower ends of the guiding and resetting device are simultaneously connected to the upper clamping positioning device and the lower positioning device. The lower positioning device has a lower positioning plate and a lower positioning pin for positioning the end cover at its middle position. The guiding and resetting device is equipped with a reset spring, a spring pressure block, and a spring limit block for resetting. Therefore, its structure is simple, its design is reasonable, and its positioning is accurate. Under the action of the magnet, the flange is strongly attracted to the upper positioning plate. When the upper clamping positioning device moves under external force, it ensures that it and the lower positioning device are always in a controllable coaxial position, thereby guaranteeing product quality. The upper and lower positioning plates take into account the positioning of the left and right flanges and end caps. By changing the position of the positioning pins, the production of left and right parts can be compatible. At the same time, by changing the upper positioning plate, lower positioning plate and limit block, the production of different models of products can be quickly switched. Its operation is convenient and fast, reducing processing and manufacturing costs, and can meet the needs of rapid production and delivery of different models of products in a short period of time.

[0024] The following section provides a further explanation of this solution in conjunction with the operational process.

[0025] An electric drive axle tube pressing device includes an upper pressing and positioning device 4, a guide and reset device 5, a limiting block 6, a support base 7, and a lower positioning device 9. The upper pressing and positioning device 4 has a three-layer structure, with an upper connecting plate 10 as the middle layer. An upper pressure plate for the pressure application point of a press is screwed to the upper end of the upper connecting plate at its middle position, and an upper positioning plate and a positioning pin for positioning a flange are screwed to the lower end. The upper positioning plate has numerous mounting holes for embedding magnets to attract the flange. The flange is precisely positioned by the positioning pins and the positioning plate. Compatible positioning of the left and right flanges is achieved by changing the position of the upper positioning pins on the upper positioning plate, and the flange is attracted to the positioning plate by the magnets. Guide holes for the guide and reset device to slide in conjunction with the upper connecting plate are provided at both ends.

[0026] The guide reset devices are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the device. The main body is a central guide post. The upper end of the guide post is provided with an upper limit plate for limiting the position, and the lower end is provided with a lower positioning seat for connecting and fixing the lower positioning device. The lower positioning seat and the lower connecting plate are connected by interference fit and screw connection to ensure perpendicularity. A reset spring for resetting the upper pressing positioning device is installed in the middle of the guide post. When the press head of the press machine resets, the upper pressing positioning device resets under the action of the reset spring, which facilitates the picking and placing of products. A dustproof and impact-proof spring protective cover is provided on the outside of the reset spring.
