Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive seat manufacturing technology, and in particular to a clamping device for automotive seat production. Background Technology

[0002] Car seats consist of a frame and an outer layer of soft foam. During production, the car seat frame is designed, and each manufacturer performs welding and other operations on the frame based on the specific design and the actual needs of the production line to meet the requirements of both the seat frame product and the production line. During welding and other operations, the frame workpiece needs to be accurately clamped and fixed. This facilitates semi-automation and automation improvements, and also improves welding accuracy and efficiency. Existing frame positioning mechanisms are inaccurate and not securely fixed, leading to low welding efficiency and excessively long loading, unloading, and adjustment times. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a clamping device for automobile seat production, so as to solve the problems of inaccurate positioning and insecure fixing, which in turn lead to low welding efficiency and excessive loading and unloading adjustment time.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a clamping device for automotive seat production, comprising a body, a sliding block slidably mounted within the body, a driving assembly for driving the sliding block to slide within the body, a support plate rotatably mounted on the upper end of the sliding block, a lifting assembly hinged to the end of the support plate away from the sliding block, and a switching assembly mounted on the end of the lifting assembly away from the support plate. The switching assembly is connected to the driving assembly and has two states: connected and disconnected. When the driving assembly is connected to the switching assembly, the driving assembly drives the switching assembly to move horizontally, and the switching assembly drives the support plate to rotate via the lifting assembly. A clamping assembly is mounted on the support plate.

[0022] A clamping device for automobile seat production, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the device includes a body 1, a sliding block 2 slidably mounted inside the body 1, a drive assembly that drives the sliding block 2 to slide inside the body 1, a support plate 3 rotatably mounted on the upper end of the sliding block 2, a lifting assembly hinged to the end of the support plate 3 away from the sliding block 2, and a switching assembly mounted on the end of the lifting assembly away from the support plate 3. The switching assembly is connected to the drive assembly and has two states: connected and disconnected. When the drive assembly is connected to the switching assembly, the drive assembly drives the switching assembly to move horizontally, and the switching assembly drives the support plate 3 to rotate through the lifting assembly. A clamping assembly is mounted on the support plate 3.

[0023] The car seat is placed on the clamping assembly, which fixes the car seat in place. The drive assembly cooperates with the sliding block 2, which can drive the sliding block 2 to move horizontally along the body 1. The switching assembly is connected to the drive assembly, which causes the drive assembly to move the switching assembly. The switching assembly drives the lifting assembly to work, and the lifting assembly drives the support plate 3 to rotate, thereby tilting the car seat. At the same time, the clamping assembly can also drive the seat to rotate. The car seat is fixed by the clamping assembly, which facilitates the removal of the car seat. The drive assembly can drive the seat to move and flip, which facilitates the adjustment of the car seat position during welding, improves the accuracy of welding, and shortens the adjustment time during loading and unloading.

[0024] In one implementation, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3The drive assembly includes a switching cylinder 4, which is mounted on one side of the machine body 1. A switching plate 5 is mounted on the output end of the switching cylinder 4. A drive motor 6 is mounted on the side of the switching plate 5 facing the machine body 1. A drive rod 7 is mounted on the output end of the drive motor 6. The drive rod 7 extends horizontally into the machine body 1. One end of the drive rod 7 has a helical thread 8, which engages with the sliding block 2. A trigger element is mounted in the middle of the drive rod 7. The switching cylinder 4 drives the drive rod 7 to move horizontally, causing the trigger element to engage with the switching assembly. The drive motor 6 then drives the drive rod 7 to rotate, moving the switching assembly and achieving left-right movement of the switching assembly.

[0025] Specifically, the trigger element includes a boss 9 and a sliding pin 10. A groove 11 is formed on the boss 9, and the sliding pin 10 is slidably installed within the groove 11. A spring 12 is installed between the sliding pin 10 and the groove 11. An inclined block is provided at the end of the sliding pin 10 away from the boss 9, and the lower end of the inclined block is flush with the upper edge of the groove 11. The sliding pin 10 cooperates with the switching assembly. The switching assembly includes a sleeve 13, which is slidably installed within the body 1. The upper part of the sleeve 13 is hinged to the lifting assembly. Both ends of the sleeve 13 are threadedly connected to drive rings 14. A mating groove 15 is formed on the inner side of the drive ring 14 to cooperate with the inclined block. A retaining ring 16 is installed on one side of the drive ring 14, and the retaining ring 16 is magnetically connected to the boss 9. In use, the switching electric cylinder 4 drives the drive rod 7 to move, and the drive rod 7 drives the boss 9 to move into the drive ring 14, so that the inclined block is engaged in the mating groove 15. The drive motor 6 drives the drive rod 7 to rotate, and the drive rod 7 drives the drive ring 14 to rotate through the engagement of the inclined block and the mating groove 15. The drive ring 14 drives the sleeve 13 to slide along the machine body 1 through the threaded transmission, so as to realize the horizontal movement of the switching component.

[0026] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a lifting rod 17, one end of which is hinged to the sleeve 13, and the other end of which is hinged to the support plate 3.

[0027] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly includes a rotary motor 18, which is vertically mounted in the middle of the machine body 1. A placement plate 19 is mounted on the output end of the rotary motor 18. Clamping electric cylinders 20 are mounted on both sides of the placement plate 19. One end of the clamping electric cylinder 20 is hinged to the upper surface of the placement plate 19. Clamping plates 21 are hinged to both sides of the placement plate 19. A fixing plate 22 is mounted on the inner side of the placement plate 19. The output end of the clamping electric cylinder 20 is hinged to the middle of the clamping plate 21, causing the clamping plate 21 to move closer to or away from the fixing plate 22.

[0028] In one embodiment, the clamping plate 21 is an L-shaped plate, and the upper end of the clamping plate 21 is provided with an L-shaped fastener 23 that cooperates with the fixing plate 22.

[0029] In one embodiment, a support member 24 for supporting the support plate 3 is provided on one side of the upper part of the body 1.

[0030] In use, the switching cylinder 4 drives the drive rod 7 to move, and the drive rod 7 drives the spiral thread 8 to cooperate with the sliding block 2. Through the thread transmission between the spiral thread 8 and the sliding block 2, the sliding block 2 is driven to move horizontally, thereby realizing the horizontal movement of the car seat.

[0031] When the car seat needs to be flipped, the drive rod 7 moves the boss 9 into the drive ring 14. At this time, the spiral thread 8 disengages from the sliding block 2, and the inclined block engages in the mating groove 15. The drive motor 6 drives the drive rod 7 to rotate. The drive rod 7 drives the drive ring 14 to rotate through the engagement of the inclined block and the mating groove 15. The drive ring 14 drives the sleeve 13 to slide along the machine body 1 through the thread transmission, realizing the horizontal movement of the switching component. The horizontal movement of the switching component drives the support plate 3 to rotate along the sliding block 2 through the lifting rod 17.

[0032] This invention places the car seat on a clamping assembly, which secures the car seat. A drive assembly, in conjunction with a sliding block 2, moves the sliding block 2 horizontally along the body 1. A switching assembly connects to the drive assembly, causing the drive assembly to move the switching assembly. The switching assembly then drives a lifting assembly, which in turn rotates a support plate 3, allowing the car seat to tilt. Simultaneously, the clamping assembly can also rotate the seat. By securing the car seat with the clamping assembly, disassembly is facilitated. The drive assembly allows the seat to be translated and flipped, facilitating position adjustments during welding, improving welding accuracy, and reducing adjustment time during assembly and disassembly.
