Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the auxiliary equipment for engineering machinery manufacturing, and particularly relates to a flexible assembly jig for a forklift mast and a mast assembly fixing method. BACKGROUND

[0002] The mast of a forklift is used for mounting a fork and is a key component for lifting goods, and thus the welding quality of the mast structure is related to the stability and safety of the forklift. The structure of the forklift mast is relatively complex and is generally composed of two layers, i.e., an inner layer and an outer layer. The parallelism, perpendicularity and distance between the structural components need to be strictly controlled during the welding process of the mast, otherwise problems such as jamming and tilting will occur during the operation of the forklift. Since the forklift models and the mast sizes are diverse, it is difficult to provide special jigs for controlling the accuracy of the welding process in actual production.

[0003] At present, when welding the mast of a forklift, a manual line marking positioning method is generally used to assemble and assemble various plates. Specifically, the welding position is first marked on the surface of a steel plate, and then the structural components to be welded are aligned with the marked line during the welding process, and a clamp is used for fixation to ensure the relative positions between the structural components. However, the manual line marking positioning method for positioning the structural components of the forklift mast has the following problems. Since the line marking position is determined by manual measurement during the process, the line marking speed is slow and the accuracy cannot be guaranteed, resulting in difficulty in placing the structural components. In addition, since a general clamp is used instead of a special jig during the welding process, the welding quality cannot be guaranteed and the production efficiency is low.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to design a special assembly jig with universality for the mast of a forklift to solve the problems of difficult positioning and fixation of the structural components, low welding efficiency and poor welding quality during the welding process of the mast of a forklift. SUMMARY

The low positioning seat 4 is fixed on the tooling platform 1 by the locking pin.

[0073] Assemble the gantry slide rail fixing assembly, fix the limiting block 2 to the tooling platform 1 with locking pins, and fix the positioning block 10 and the limiting block 2 with locking pins to form the gantry slide rail fixing assembly. Use the gantry slide rail fixing assembly to fix the outer side of the inner gantry roller slide rail.

[0074] Assemble the lower crossbeam fixing block of the inner gantry frame, such as Figure 7 As shown, the long slot plate 202 of one limiting block 2 is placed opposite the long oval plate 203 of another limiting block 2 and fixed by locking pins. The upper ends of the two limiting blocks 2 are flush (i.e., the long oval plate 203 of one limiting block 2 and the short oval plate 204 of the other limiting block 2 are flush). The positioning angle ruler 5 is fixed to the outside of the L-shaped main plate 201 of one limiting block 2 by locking pins. The angle ruler hole plate of the positioning angle ruler 5 extends out of the upper ends of the two limiting blocks 2, thus forming the inner frame lower crossbeam fixing block. The upper ends of the two limiting blocks 2 are flush to support the inner frame lower crossbeam. The extended angle ruler hole plate positions the inner frame lower crossbeam. The inner frame lower crossbeam fixing block is fixed to the tooling platform 1 by locking pins.

[0075] The end of the forklift inner mast is abutted by two limiting blocks 2, which are fixed to the tooling platform 1 by locking pins. If the size of the forklift inner mast is too large to be limited by the limiting blocks 2, side limiting blocks 12 can be installed on the side of the tooling platform 1 to limit the end of the forklift inner mast.

[0076] When the dimensions of the forklift mast exceed those of the tooling platform 1, a positioning square 5 can be installed on the side of the tooling platform 1 to expand the working surface of the tooling platform 1.

[0077] (II) Fixing the splice points of the forklift's outer mast

The pin hole positioning shaft 6 is inserted into the high positioning seat 3 and the outer mast frame mounting hole. The pin hole positioning shaft 6 is fixed in the position of the shaft hole by the bushing 8. The spacer 9 is used to fix the distance between the inner and outer support plates of the frame hole. The high positioning seat 3 is fixed on the tooling platform 1 by the locking pin.

[0079] Fix the two outer mast roller mounting holes of the forklift outer mast, insert the pin hole positioning shaft 6 into the low positioning seat 4 and the outer mast roller mounting holes, use the bushing 8 to fix the roller shaft mounting hole pin, and use the locking pin to fix the low positioning seat 4 on the tooling platform 1.

[0080] The assembly type door frame slide fixing assembly fixes the limiting block 2 on the tool platform 1 through the locking pin, and the positioning block 10 and the limiting block 2 are fixed to form the door frame slide fixing assembly through the locking pin, and the inner side of the outer door frame roller slide is fixed by the door frame slide fixing assembly.

[0081] The assembly type threaded hole positioning assembly is composed of the positioning angle ruler 5, the positioning shaft mounting block 11 and the threaded hole positioning shaft 7, the threaded hole positioning shaft 7 is inserted into the outer door frame oil cylinder mounting hole and the chain mounting hole, and the positioning angle ruler 5 is fixed on the tool platform 1 through the locking pin to fix the outer door frame oil cylinder mounting hole and the chain mounting hole.

[0082] The assembly type outer door frame lower cross beam fixing block is composed of the long slot plate 202 of the limiting block 2 and the angle ruler slot plate of the positioning angle ruler 5 through the locking pin, as shown in the figure. Figure 8

[0083] The end of the forklift outer door frame is supported by the two limiting blocks 2 fixed on the tool platform 1 through the locking pin. If the size of the inner door frame of the forklift is large, the end limiting of the limiting block 2 cannot be used, and the side limiting block 12 can be installed on the side of the tool platform 1 to limit the end of the outer door frame of the forklift.

[0084] When the size of the outer door frame of the forklift exceeds the tool platform 1, the positioning angle ruler 5 can be installed on the side of the tool platform 1 to expand the working surface of the tool platform 1.

[0085] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned door frame slide fixing assembly, inner door frame lower cross beam fixing block, threaded hole positioning assembly and outer door frame lower cross beam fixing block can be replaced by an integrated structure instead of an assembly structure.

[0086] In some embodiments, the locking pin used for connection and fixation in the scheme is replaced by a screw, a wedge block and the like.
