Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile trim transfer, and in particular to a transfer bracket for automobile exterior trim. Background Art

[0002] The car bumper is one of the car exterior parts. It not only has a decorative function, but also has the function of absorbing and mitigating external impact. After the car bumper is produced, it needs to be transported to a warehouse or assembly line, such as Figure 8 As shown, the existing transfer bracket consists of a square steel frame and multiple extended arms welded thereon. When transporting a car bumper, the car bumper is directly placed on two corresponding arms and the transfer bracket is pushed to move. The inventor found that the transfer bracket has the following problems during actual production:

[0003] 1. To ensure the number of bumpers that can be transported in a single transfer, more than three bumpers need to be placed vertically on one side of the transfer bracket. However, due to the relatively large size of the bumpers, the height of the bumpers placed above three layers is too high when taking them in and out. Ladders and other climbing devices are required to assist in taking them in and out, making the transfer bracket less convenient to use.

[0004] 2. The existing transfer bracket has no fixed measures for the bumper. During the transfer process, the bumper will move relative to the transfer bracket, which can easily cause wear on the paint surface of the bumper. The damage rate of the bumper during transfer is relatively high.

[0005] Therefore, a transfer bracket for automobile exterior parts is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The object of the present invention is to provide a transfer bracket for automobile exterior parts to solve the problems existing in the prior art mentioned in the above background technology.

[0027] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0028] See also Figure 1-8 , the present invention provides a technical solution:

[0029] A transfer bracket for automobile exterior trim includes a base frame 1, a support frame 2 and a rotating shaft 3. The support frame 2 is installed on the base frame 1, and universal wheels 10 are installed around the bottom of the base frame 1; the rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the support frame 2, and rotating frames 4 are connected on both sides of the rotating shaft 3. Several connecting plates 5 are rotatably connected to the rotating frames 4, and the lower ends of the connecting plates 5 are connected to storage frames 6. The storage frames 6 are connected through the connecting plates 5 so that the storage frames 6 always remain in a vertical state under the action of gravity, which is convenient for stably supporting the automobile bumper.

[0030] The storage frame 6 is provided with a fixing assembly 7 for pressing and fixing the automobile exterior trim. The fixing assembly 7 includes a telescopic column 71, a pressure plate 72 and a limit block 73. The telescopic column 71 is slidably connected to the extension plate on the side of the connecting plate 5. The pressure plate 72 is connected to the lower end of the telescopic column 71. The upper end side of the telescopic column 71 is connected to the limit block 73. A spring 74 is provided between the limit block 73 and the extension plate on the side of the connecting plate 5. The top of the telescopic column 71 is connected to a connecting block 75, and the connecting block 75 is connected to a driving column 76. The pressure plate 72 is made into a matching shape according to the structural shape inside the bumper, so as to facilitate the stable pressing of the bumper into the storage frame 6.

[0031] The rotating frame 4 is provided with a fixed driving assembly 8 for controlling the fixing assembly 7 to press or release the automobile exterior trim. The fixed driving assembly 8 includes a rack 81, a driving pressure block 82 and a gear 83. The rack 81 is slidably connected to the rotating frame 4. The driving pressure block 82 is connected to one end of the rack 81 and is used to press the driving column 76. The gear 83 is rotatably connected to the rotating frame 4, and the gear 83 is meshed with the rack 81. The support frame 2 is connected with a driving ring 84 for controlling the sliding of the driving pressure block 82 and the rack 81. The structural shape of the dynamic pressure block 82 is set to be a semicircular ring, and two of the driving pressure blocks 82 can be spliced ​​together to form a complete circular ring. This setting enables the fixing component 7 to maintain the pressure and fixation of the bumper when the connecting plate 5 rotates; an opening is set at the front side of the driving ring body 84, and the shape of the opening of the driving ring body 84 is set to be an arc folded toward the outside of the ring. The opening of the driving ring body 84 is the pick-up and placement position of the bumper. When the storage frame 6 is in this position, the fixing component 7 automatically releases the fixation of the bumper, making it convenient for the staff to take and place the bumper.

[0032] A rotation drive assembly 9 for driving the rotating frame 4 to rotate is installed on the support frame 2. The rotation drive assembly 9 includes a worm gear 91, a worm 92 and a handwheel 93. The worm gear 91 is keyed to the rotating shaft 3, and the worm 92 is rotationally connected to the support frame 2, and the worm 92 is meshed with the worm gear 91. One end of the worm 92 is connected to the handwheel 93. The arrangement of the worm gear 91 and the worm 92 can make it easier to control the rotation of the rotating frame 4, and the self-locking characteristics of the worm gear 91 and the worm 92 can prevent the rotating frame 4 from rotating during transportation.

[0033] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0034] When the car bumper needs to be transferred, the car bumper is placed on the storage frame 6 corresponding to the opening position of the driving ring body 84, and the hand wheel 93 is turned to drive the worm 92 to rotate. The worm 92 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate through the worm gear 91, so that the rotating shaft 3 drives the rotating frame 4 to rotate, and the rotating frame 4 drives the storage frame 6 to move upward through the connecting plate 5; when the driving pressure block 82 corresponding to the storage frame 6 contacts the driving ring body 84, the driving ring body 84 squeezes the driving pressure block 82, so that the driving pressure block 82 drives the rack 81 to slide, and the rack 81 drives the rack 81 on the other side to slide in the opposite direction through the gear 83, so that the two driving pressure blocks 82 move close to each other and form a complete circular ring.

[0035] During the movement of the driving pressure block 82, the driving pressure block 82 squeezes the driving column 76, so that the driving column 76 drives the telescopic column 71 to slide through the connecting block 75, and the telescopic column 71 drives the pressure plate 72 connected to its lower end to press and fix the car bumper; the connecting plate 5 and the storage frame 6 always remain in a vertical state under the action of gravity, and the driving column 76 can slide relative to the driving pressure block 82, ensuring that the bumper is pressed and fixed while also enabling the storage frame 6 to stably support the bumper; the car bumpers are placed in turn in the above manner, and after placement, the support frame 2 is pushed to transport them.

[0036] When arriving at the transfer location, the storage frame 6 is rotated to the opening position of the drive ring body 84 in sequence, and the pressure plate 72 releases the pressure on the bumper under the action of the spring 74. The bumper is removed in sequence to complete the transfer work.

[0037] While embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, and that the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
