Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle technology, and in particular to a positioning device and a vehicle having the same. Background Technology

[0002] In the existing technology, when the body and frame of a non-load-bearing vehicle are installed in the Z direction, they are connected by 6 bolts. However, due to the low welding precision of the frame, all of them are designed as mounting holes. This results in problems such as excessively large or small gaps between the body and the frame, and between the body and the rear bumper after the frame and body are assembled. Consequently, the overall visual effect of the vehicle body is poor and the sense of refinement is low. Summary of the Invention

This effectively ensures the assembly accuracy between the vehicle frame and the cargo box, reduces the accumulation of tolerances, and solves the problem of excessive or insufficient gap surface difference between the cargo box and the vehicle body, and between the cargo box and the rear bumper of the vehicle.

[0033] The following is for reference. Figures 1-7 A positioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the positioning device according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a first positioning component 1 and a second positioning component 2. The positioning device is used for a vehicle, which includes a frame 5, a cargo box 4, and a skid 3. The cargo box 4 is located above the frame 5. The first positioning component 1 is used to position the relative position between the frame 5 and the skid 3, and the second positioning component 2 is used to position the relative position between the cargo box 4 and the skid 3. In this embodiment, the assembly of the cargo box 4 and the frame 5 is based on the skid 3. First, the frame 5 is positioned and installed on the skid 3 using the first positioning component 1 to keep the relative position between the frame 5 and the skid 3 stable. Then, the relative position between the cargo box 4 and the skid 3 is determined by the second positioning component 2, so that the frame 5 and the cargo box 4 are assembled based on the skid 3, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy between the frame 5 and the cargo box 4 and avoiding assembly errors.

[0035] According to the positioning device of the present invention, by setting the first positioning component 1 and the second positioning component 2, the relative position between the frame 5 and the skid 3 and the relative position between the cargo box 4 and the skid 3 can be determined, thereby enabling the frame 5 and the cargo box 4 to be assembled with the skid 3 as the reference, thus effectively ensuring the assembly accuracy between the frame 5 and the cargo box 4, reducing the cumulative tolerance, solving the problem of excessive or insufficient gap surface difference between the cargo box 4 and the vehicle body, and between the cargo box 4 and the rear bumper of the vehicle, and effectively improving the aesthetics and refinement of the overall vehicle body appearance.

[0036] In one embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the first positioning component 1 is a first positioning pin, and multiple first positioning pins are provided. These multiple first positioning pins are set on the skid 3, and the frame 5 is positioned and engaged with the multiple first positioning pins to be mounted on the skid 3. In this embodiment, the multiple first positioning pins are set on the upper surface of the skid 3, and the frame 5 is provided with multiple through holes that engage with the multiple first positioning pins one by one. The frame 5 is mounted on the skid 3 from top to bottom, and the first positioning pins are inserted into the through holes to position the frame 5. In this way, the frame 5 can be mounted on the skid 3 with the skid 3 as a reference, and the relative position of the frame 5 and the skid 3 remains unchanged, so as to ensure the accuracy of the subsequent assembly of the cargo box 4 and the frame 5.

[0037] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the second positioning component 2 includes a positioning bracket 21 and a second positioning pin 22. The positioning bracket 21 is mounted on the bottom surface of the cargo box 4, and the second positioning pin 22 is disposed on the skid 3. The positioning bracket 21 includes a positioning part 211, which engages with the second positioning pin 22 to position the cargo box 4 and the vehicle frame 5. In this specific embodiment, for example... Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the positioning bracket 21 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the cargo box 4, and the second positioning pin 22 is set on one end of the front side of the skid 3. When the cargo box 4 is lowered onto the frame 5 from top to bottom, the positioning part 211 on the positioning bracket 21 on the bottom surface of the cargo box 4 must first cooperate with the second positioning pin 22 to ensure that the relative position of the cargo box 4 and the skid 3 does not deviate when the cargo box 4 is lowered, thereby ensuring the assembly accuracy of the cargo box 4 and the frame 5 and avoiding the problem of excessive or insufficient gap between the cargo box 4 and the body or rear bumper.

[0038] In some embodiments, the positioning bracket 21 is welded to the bottom surface of the cargo box 4. After the positioning bracket 21 is positioned and engaged with the second positioning pin 22, if the gap surface difference between the cargo box 4 and the vehicle body or the gap surface difference between the cargo box 4 and the rear bumper is found to be too large or too small, the position of the positioning bracket 21 on the bottom surface of the cargo box 4 can be adjusted by adjusting the welding fixture of the positioning bracket 21. In this way, the change in the position of the positioning bracket 21 can absorb the cumulative tolerance of the whole vehicle, thereby adjusting and improving the accuracy of the gap surface difference of the whole vehicle, so that the frame 5 and the cargo box 4 can be precisely assembled.

[0039] For example, if the gap between the cargo box 4 and the rear bumper exceeds the standard by 2cm after the positioning bracket 21 and the second positioning pin 22 are engaged, the positioning bracket 21 can be moved 2cm forward along the cargo box 4 and then welded to the bottom surface of the cargo box 4 by adjusting the welding fixture of the positioning bracket 21. In this way, when it is reassembled, the gap between the cargo box 4 and the rear bumper will be reduced by 2cm, so that the gap between the cargo box 4 and the rear bumper meets the standard.

[0040] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the positioning bracket 21 also includes a first fixing part 212 and a second fixing part 213. The first fixing part 212 and the second fixing part 213 are located on both sides of the positioning part 211, and are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cargo box 4. In this specific embodiment, the main function of the first fixing part 212 and the second fixing part 213 is to enable the positioning bracket 21 to be fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the cargo box 4, and at the same time, to ensure the installation stability of the positioning bracket 21 and prevent the positioning bracket 21 from falling off the bottom surface of the cargo box 4.

[0041] Furthermore, the first fixing part 212 includes a first supporting surface 2121 and a first connecting surface 2122. One end of the first supporting surface 2121 is connected to the positioning part 211, and the other end of the first supporting surface 2121 is connected to the first connecting surface 2122. The first supporting surface 2121 extends toward the cargo box 4, and the first connecting surface 2122 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cargo box 4. The first supporting surface 2121 can effectively improve the supporting performance of the positioning bracket 21, making the positioning bracket 21 less prone to deformation and damage. The first connecting surface 2122 is used to fixally connect with the bottom surface of the cargo box 4, ensuring the stability of the connection between the positioning bracket 21 and the cargo box 4.

[0042] Furthermore, the second fixing part 213 includes a second supporting surface 2131 and a second connecting surface 2132. One end of the second supporting surface 2131 is connected to the positioning part 211, and the other end of the second supporting surface 2131 is connected to the second connecting surface 2132. The second supporting surface 2131 extends toward the cargo box 4, and the second connecting surface 2132 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the cargo box 4. The second supporting surface 2131 can effectively improve the supporting performance of the positioning bracket 21, making the positioning bracket 21 less prone to deformation and damage. The second connecting surface 2132 is used to fixally connect with the bottom surface of the cargo box 4, ensuring the stability of the connection between the positioning bracket 21 and the cargo box 4.

[0043] In addition, reinforcing ribs 10 are provided on both the first support surface 2121 and the second support surface 2131, and bosses 7 are provided on both the first connecting surface 2122 and the second connecting surface 2132. The reinforcing ribs 10 can effectively enhance the structural strength and rigidity of the first support surface 2121 and the second support surface 2131, and improve the support performance of the first support surface 2121 and the second support surface 2131; the bosses 7 can not only improve the structural strength of the first connecting surface 2122 and the second connecting surface 2132, but also prevent the first connecting surface 2122 and the second connecting surface 2132 from being in large-area contact with the bottom surface of the cargo box 4, thereby ensuring sufficient electrophoresis coating.

[0044] For example Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in the vertical direction, there is a first included angle between the first support surface 2121 and the positioning part 211, and a second included angle between the second support surface 2131 and the positioning part 211. Both the first and second included angles are obtuse angles. At the same time, the first support surface 2121 and the second support surface 2131 are located on both sides of the positioning part 211 and are arranged opposite to each other, so that the distance between the upper end of the first support surface 2121 and the upper end of the second support surface 2131 is greater than the distance between the lower end of the first support surface 2121 and the lower end of the second support surface 2131. This design can effectively improve the support performance of the positioning bracket 21, so that when the positioning bracket 21 is positioned and engaged with the second positioning pin 22, it can withstand the compression between the cargo box 4 and the skid 3 and will not easily deform or be damaged.

[0045] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, such as Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the positioning part 211 is a positioning plane, on which a positioning boss 8 is provided, and a positioning hole 9 is provided on the positioning boss 8. The positioning hole 9 is positioned and engaged with the second positioning pin 22. In this specific embodiment, the positioning boss 8 not only effectively strengthens the structural strength and rigidity of the positioning plane, but also ensures the opening accuracy of the positioning hole 9, thereby effectively improving the positioning effect of the positioning bracket 21.

[0046] Furthermore, a reinforcing flange 6 is provided circumferentially on the positioning plane, extending away from the positioning plane, and the reinforcing flange 6 has a smooth transition with the positioning plane. The reinforcing flange 6 can improve the overall structural strength and rigidity of the positioning bracket 21, enabling the positioning bracket 21 to withstand greater loads without deformation or damage. The smooth transition between the reinforcing flange 6 and the positioning plane can effectively avoid stress concentration.

[0047] The present invention also proposes a vehicle having the above-described embodiments.

[0048] According to the vehicle of the present invention, by setting the above-mentioned positioning device, the cumulative tolerance of the whole vehicle can be effectively reduced and the accuracy of the gap surface difference of the whole vehicle can be improved.
