Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, specifically relating to a floating mechanism for automobile hinges used in welding lines. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of automotive manufacturing equipment technology, the positioning accuracy of door hinges in the body welding production line directly affects the subsequent assembly quality and structural stability of the whole vehicle. Therefore, the tooling mechanism used for hinge positioning is a key component in the welding process.

[0003] Currently, the industry mostly uses fixed mechanisms for positioning car door hinges. The positioning components of such mechanisms are in fixed positions and can only be rigidly positioned according to preset dimensions. However, in actual production, due to the inherent characteristics of the stamping process, the precision of car door panels often fluctuates, resulting in slight deviations (large or small) in their dimensions.

[0004] When a fixed positioning mechanism is used, fluctuations in sheet metal dimensions cannot be effectively compensated for: if the sheet metal is slightly larger, it will be squeezed during positioning, causing deformation; if the sheet metal is slightly smaller, gaps will appear between the hinge and the sheet metal. Both situations require rework and correction, and may even necessitate sheet metal repair of the deformed sheet metal. This not only increases labor time and wastes manpower, but may also affect production efficiency and product consistency due to repeated operations, becoming a prominent problem restricting the stability of the welding process.

[0017] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0018] This utility model discloses a floating mechanism for automotive hinges used in welding lines, comprising a left clamping mechanism 1, a middle clamping mechanism 2, a right clamping mechanism 3, and a buffer mechanism 4.

[0019] The left clamping mechanism 1 consists of a left clamping block 11, a left first connecting block 12, and a left second connecting block 13. The left clamping block 11 is fixed to the upper part of the left first connecting block 12, the lower part of the left first connecting block 12 is fixed to the upper part of the left second connecting block 13, and the left second connecting block 13 is fixed to the first movable plate 5. This hierarchical fixing structure ensures that the left clamping block 11 can stably clamp the corresponding position of the hinge.

[0020] The intermediate clamping mechanism 2 includes an intermediate clamping block 21 and an intermediate first connecting block 22. The intermediate clamping block 21 is fixed on the upper part of the intermediate first connecting block 22, the intermediate first connecting block 22 is fixed on the intermediate second connecting block, the intermediate second connecting block is fixed on the second movable plate 6, and one end of the second movable plate 6 is fixed on one end of the first movable plate 5, so that the intermediate clamping mechanism 2 and the left clamping mechanism 1 form a linkage relationship and work together to position and clamp the hinge.

[0021] The right-side clamping mechanism 3 consists of a right-side clamping block 31, a right-side first connecting block 32, a right-side second connecting block 33, a cylinder connecting plate 34, and a cylinder 35. The right-side clamping block 31 is fixed to the right-side first connecting block 32, which is fixed to the right-side second connecting block 33. The right-side second connecting block 33 is fixed to the cylinder connecting plate 34, which is fixed to the piston rod of the cylinder 35. The cylinder 35 is fixed to the side of the second movable plate 6. Driven by the cylinder 35, the right-side clamping block 31 can clamp the right side of the hinge.

[0022] The buffer mechanism 4 includes a fixed support 41, a spring 42, a pin 43, and a bushing 44. The fixed support 41 is located on one side of the first movable plate 5. There are two bushings 44, which are respectively fixed to the first movable plate 5 and the fixed support 41. One end of the pin 43 is fixed to the bushing 44 fixed to the fixed support 41, and the other end of the pin 43 is slidably engaged with the bushing 44 fixed to the first movable plate 5. The spring 42 is sleeved on the pin 43, and the spring 42 always applies an outward force to the bushing 44. In this device, the buffer mechanism 4 includes two sets of pins 43, springs 42, and bushings 44 to enhance the buffering floating effect. In addition, a first buffer block 7 is fixed on the first movable plate 5, and a second buffer block 8 is fixed on the cylinder connecting plate 34 to further improve the buffering performance during operation.

[0023] During operation, the left clamping mechanism 1, the middle clamping mechanism 2, and the right clamping mechanism 3 work together to clamp and position the car door hinge. When there are fluctuations in the precision of the stamped sheet metal or changes in its dimensions, the buffer mechanism 4 plays a crucial role. Because the spring 42 always exerts an outward force on the bushing 44, and the pin 43 slides with the bushing 44 fixed on the first movable plate 5, the first movable plate 5 can drive the left clamping mechanism 1, the middle clamping mechanism 2, and the second movable plate 6 connected to the first movable plate 5 to float. This floating characteristic can adapt to changes in the size of the stamped sheet metal and automatically adjust the position of the clamping mechanism, thereby ensuring a perfect fit between the hinge and the stamped sheet metal, avoiding gaps or deformation caused by squeezing the sheet metal, and effectively solving a series of problems such as rework caused by precision issues of the stamped parts. At the same time, the first buffer block 7 and the second buffer block 8 can reduce the collision impact between the components during the operation of the mechanism, ensuring the stability and reliability of the mechanism's operation.

[0024] For those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model.
