The positioning component includes a pressing component and a placing component provided at the bottom end of the pressing component. The door hinge 41 can be placed on the placing component, and the pressing component clamps or releases the door hinge 41 in a direction approaching or away from the placing component; the positioning component is vertically arranged on the sliding mechanism and can slide on the sliding mechanism in a direction approaching or away from the automobile door.

[0033] When operating to install the door hinge 41, the door hinge 41 can be placed on the placing component, so that the pressing component presses and fixes the door hinge 41, and then the door hinge 41 can be fixed on the entire positioning component. Then, the sliding mechanism is moved closer to the automobile door, so that the door hinge 41 is attached to the inner panel of the door, and the hinge hole is aligned with the threaded hole inside the inner panel. At this time, a pneumatic tool is started to tighten the screw to fasten the door hinge 41 to the inner panel of the door.

[0034] In actual use, two positioning components are arranged at intervals, and the two positioning components are fixed to the sliding mechanism through a support plate 15. Before using the device, the relative distance between the two positioning components is adjusted appropriately to ensure that the relative positions of the two door hinges 41 are maintained properly during installation, improving the installation accuracy. Moreover, the entire device is easy to operate, has strong operability, simple operation steps, is suitable for assembly line operations, avoids the work mistakes that are likely to occur when workers install the door hinge 41 based on experience, and can improve the installation efficiency.

[0035] In some alternative embodiments, see Figures 2 to 5As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a positioning and installation device for an automotive door hinge. The placing component of this device includes two positioning blocks 26 arranged in parallel. A bearing platform for placing the door hinge 41 is provided at the lower end of the positioning block 26.

One end of the support member 22 is connected to the second support block 23, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support plate 15.

[0036] During use, both ends of the door hinge 41 are placed on the bearing platforms provided at the lower ends of the two positioning blocks 26, enabling the door hinge 41 to be stably placed on the positioning blocks 26. A support connection block 25, a first support block 24, a second support block 23, and a support member 22 are sequentially connected below the positioning block 26. One end of the support member 22 is connected to the second support block 23, and the other end is fixedly connected to the support plate 15 to ensure the structural stability of the positioning block 26.

[0037] In some alternative embodiments, as shown in Figures 3 to 7 the figure, an embodiment of the present application provides a positioning and installation device for an automotive door hinge. The pressing-down component of the device includes a cylinder handle 21. A first cylinder 20 is vertically provided at the lower end of the cylinder handle 21. Pressing down the cylinder handle 21 can drive the two pressing blocks 31 and the two positioning pins 30 provided at the lower end of the first cylinder 20 to move towards the placing component. The positioning pins 30 are inserted into the openings on the door hinge 41, and the pressing blocks 31 press against the top surface of the door hinge 41 to press and fix the door hinge 41.

[0038] In actual use, after the door hinge 41 is placed on the bearing platforms provided at the lower ends of the two positioning blocks 26, the first cylinder 20 can be utilized to make the two pressing blocks 31 and the two positioning pins 30 provided at the lower end of the first cylinder 20 move towards the placing component. The positioning pins 30 are inserted into the openings on the door hinge 41, and the pressing blocks 31 press against the top surface of the door hinge 41 to press and fix the door hinge 41. The positioning pins 30 can be cylindrical positioning pins 30, or the cylindrical positioning pins 30 can be ground into prismatic shapes to ensure that the positioning pins 30 can be smoothly inserted into the openings on the door hinge 41.

[0039] At this time, a cylinder handle 21 is provided at the upper end of the first cylinder 20. In some usage scenarios, the cylinder handle 21 can be manually pressed down to drive the first cylinder 20 to press down. After the staff places the door hinge 41, directly manually pressing down the cylinder handle 21 can improve work efficiency.

[0040] In some usage scenarios, the pressing component further includes a "T"-shaped connecting block 19 with one end connected to the first cylinder 20 and the other end connected to the support plate 15. An installation plate member 18 and a first abutting block 17 are provided at the lower end of the first cylinder 20. A limiting groove 16 matching the first abutting block 17 is provided on the support plate 15 near the first abutting block 17. An "L"-shaped connecting block 27 is connected to the installation plate member 18. The "L"-shaped connecting block 27 is connected to a positioning pin mounting block 28, and the positioning pin 30 is mounted at the bottom end of the positioning pin mounting block 28.

[0041] When pressing and fixing the door hinge 41, the first abutting block 17 provided at the lower end of the first cylinder 20 will contact the limiting groove 16 matching the first abutting block 17 provided on the support plate 15 near the first abutting block 17, so as to limit the overall pressing distance of the pressing component and prevent damage to the door hinge 41 during the pressing process.

[0042] In some alternative embodiments, refer to Figure 4 Figure to Figure 7 As shown, the embodiment of the present application provides a positioning and installation device for an automobile door hinge. The sliding mechanism of the device includes a bottom plate 1, two linear slide rails 12 provided on the bottom plate 1, a connecting plate 9 connected to the linear slide rails 12, a connecting seat 13 provided on the connecting plate 9, and a second cylinder 5 connected to the connecting plate 9. The second cylinder 5 is connected to the connecting plate 9 through a cylinder mounting plate 6, a cylinder joint 7 connected to the cylinder mounting plate 6, and a cylinder connecting block 8 in sequence.

[0043] By using the second cylinder 5, the sliding mechanism can slide on the two linear slide rails 12 on the bottom plate 1 in a direction approaching or away from the automobile door. After fixing the door hinge 41 to the positioning component, the sliding mechanism slides in the direction of the automobile door, so that the door hinge 41 fits with the inner panel of the door, which is convenient for subsequent installation of the door hinge 41.

[0044] An installation bracket 11 and a cover plate 10 located on the installation bracket 11 are provided on the linear slide rail 12. The connecting plate 9 slides along the linear slide rail 12 on the cover plate 10. A push-pull handle 14 for manual pushing is provided on the connecting seat 13. And the support plate 15 is fixed to the connecting seat 13, so that the two positioning components can be fixed to the sliding mechanism, and the positioning components move along with the sliding mechanism. In some usage scenarios, the staff can manually push the push-pull handle 14 to drive the entire sliding mechanism to move forward to the position of the door, which can improve the implementation efficiency of the whole process.

[0045] On the bottom plate 1, there are two limiting blocks 3 of the limiting connection seats 13 vertically arranged. The limiting blocks 3 are connected to the fixed blocks 2 arranged on the bottom plate 1, and the two limiting blocks 3 are respectively located on both sides of the connection seat 13 and can respectively abut against the two top contact blocks arranged on the connection seat 13. When sliding in the forward and backward directions, the top contact blocks of the sliding mechanism will abut against the limiting blocks 3 to limit the forward and backward sliding distances and improve the operation feasibility when installing the door hinge 41.

[0046] In summary, when installing the door hinge 41, the vehicle door is positioned by using the tooling. The staff places the two door hinges 41 on the placing component, then presses down the two cylinder handles 21 to fix and clamp the door hinges 41 onto the placing component. Then, the push-pull handle 14 arranged on the connection seat 13 is pushed to drive the entire two positioning components to move towards the vehicle door, so that the door hinge 41 is attached to the inner panel of the vehicle door, and the hinge holes are aligned with the threaded holes inside the inner panel. At this time, the pneumatic tool is started to tighten the screws to fasten the door hinge 41 to the inner panel of the vehicle door.

[0047] After the installation of the door hinge 41 is completed, the staff operates the electric control button, and the two first cylinders 20 rise, and the cylinder handles 21 bounce up, driving the pressing component to release the door hinge 41. The second cylinder 5 in the middle drives the entire device to move backward along the linear slide rail 12 in the direction away from the vehicle door to prepare for the next installation. The whole process is easy to operate, can improve the installation efficiency of the door hinge 41, and the relative positions between the two positioning components are matched according to the installation requirements of the vehicle door hinge 41, which is beneficial to improving the installation accuracy and realizing the improvement of the installation quality.
