Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive headrest welding technology, specifically to a welding positioning device for easily adjustable automotive headrest frame processing. Background Technology
[0002] Cars are a vital means of transportation in our daily lives. With my country's industrial upgrading, the automotive industry has become a pillar industry, leading to lower car costs and making cars increasingly common in households. To enhance passenger comfort and accommodate different groups, many car headrests are designed to attach to the seats. The lower end of the headrest has two metal mounting feet with slots on their sides, allowing it to engage with the car seat and thus control the headrest's height.
[0003] Current automotive headrests require welding metal fixing feet to the headrest frame during manufacturing to ensure the connection strength and support the occupant's head in the event of a crash. However, the existing metal fixing feet require pre-positioning before welding; otherwise, misalignment can occur. Positioning the metal fixing feet primarily involves engaging the slots on the side of the feet. However, manufacturing errors can lead to inconsistent distances between adjacent slots, causing positioning errors. Furthermore, inherent dimensional errors in the metal fixing feet themselves prevent proper installation on the car seat. Summary of the Invention

[0025] To enhance understanding of the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described and introduced below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments, and are not intended to limit the embodiments in any way. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0026] Please see Figure 1-5This invention provides a technical solution: a welding positioning device for easily adjustable automotive headrest frame processing, comprising a positioning block 1, a support base 2 fixedly connected to the lower end of the positioning block 1, two mounting grooves 16 provided in the middle of the upper end of the positioning block 1, a headrest fixing foot 4 inserted into the middle of the mounting groove 16, multiple snap-fit grooves 10 provided on the side end of the headrest fixing foot 4, a sliding groove 19 provided on the side end of the mounting groove 16, a pressing plate 17 slidably connected in the sliding groove 19, a positioning blocking mechanism 22 slidably connected on the side end of the pressing plate 17, the positioning blocking mechanism 22 consisting of a blocking block 221, a guide inclined surface 222, a blocking inclined surface, a fixing groove 224, a deformable piece 225, a positioning protrusion 226, and an adjusting groove 227, and a connecting plate 3 fixedly connected to the side end of the positioning block 1. Plate 3 has a T-shaped structure. The interior of the connecting plate 3 has a connecting cavity 7. A locking plate 6 is slidably connected in the connecting cavity 7. The top of the locking plate 6 is equipped with a positioning reminder device 9. The positioning reminder device 9 consists of a positioning plate 91, a positioning groove 92, a pressure sensing module 93, a connecting spring 94, and a traction rod 95. The tail end of the locking plate 6 is inserted into the middle of the positioning block 1. The middle of the positioning block 1 is equipped with two locking and fixing mechanisms 15. The two locking and fixing mechanisms 15 are located on both sides of the locking plate 6. The locking and fixing mechanism 15 consists of a rotating plate 151, a locking head 152, a blocking plate 153, and a spring shaft 154. The side end of the locking and fixing mechanism 15 is equipped with a sliding plate 12. The side end of the connecting plate 3 is fixedly connected with a reminder light 5. The reminder light 5 is electrically connected to the pressure sensing module 93.
[0027] The upper end of the mounting groove 16 is inclined to facilitate the insertion of the headrest fixing foot 4 into the mounting groove 16. The bottom of the mounting groove 16 is arc-shaped. The blocking block 221 is located in the middle of the mounting groove 16. When the headrest fixing foot 4 is inserted into the mounting groove 16, the lower end of the blocking block 221 abuts against the headrest fixing foot 4. After the headrest fixing foot 4 is installed into the mounting groove 16, the blocking block 221 blocks the headrest fixing foot 4 and restricts the vertical direction of the headrest fixing foot 4.
[0028] The extrusion plate 17 has an L-shaped structure. A guide groove 20 is provided on the side end of the extrusion plate 17. The blocking block 221 is slidably connected to the guide groove 20. A second return spring 18 is fixedly connected between the extrusion plate 17 and the inner wall of the sliding groove 19. The top end of the sliding plate 12 is located inside the sliding groove 19. The upper end of the blocking block 221 is a guide slope 222, and the lower end of the blocking block 221 is a blocking arc surface 223. A fixing groove 224 is located at the blocking arc surface 223. A deformable piece 225 is fixedly connected inside the fixing groove 224. The deformable piece 225 is an elastic iron sheet. The deformable piece 225 has a zigzag structure. The positioning protrusion 226 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the deformable piece 225. When the headrest fixing foot 4 and the positioning block 1 are installed, the headrest fixing foot 4 presses against the guide slope, thereby pushing the blocking block 221 and the pressing plate 17 to move together. When the pressing plate 17 moves, it presses against the sliding plate 12. At the same time, the pressing plate 17 compresses and stores force on the connecting spring 94. When the headrest fixing foot 4 moves to the lower end of the blocking block 221, the blocking block 221 is reset under the action of the connecting spring 94.
[0029] The positioning protrusion 226 has an arc-shaped side end. When the headrest fixing foot 4 is inserted into the mounting groove 16, the snap-fit groove 10 is directly opposite the blocking block 221, and the positioning protrusion 226 is snapped into the snap-fit groove 10. The adjusting groove 227 is located at the side end of the blocking block 221. The bottom of the adjusting groove 227 is threaded. The side end of the extrusion plate 17 is provided with an adjusting screw 21. One end of the adjusting screw 21 is rotatably connected to the extrusion plate 17, and the other end of the adjusting screw 21 is provided with a slot. The side end of the extrusion plate 17 is provided with a groove, and the main body of the adjusting screw 21 is located in the groove. The side end of the adjusting screw 21 is threadedly connected to the adjusting groove 227. The headrest fixing foot 4 When the blocking block is at its lower end, pull the headrest fixing foot 4 to make the side end of the headrest fixing foot 4 abut against the positioning plate 91. If the positioning protrusion 226 is not engaged with the locking groove 10 at this time, rotate the adjusting screw 21. The adjusting screw 21 drives the blocking block 221 to move, thereby fine-tuning the position of the blocking block 221, so that the positioning protrusion 226 moves to the locking groove 10. The positioning protrusion 226 is engaged in the locking groove 10 by the deformation piece 225, thereby positioning and fixing the headrest fixing foot 4 in the horizontal direction, preventing the headrest fixing foot 4 from moving when welding to the headrest frame, and ensuring the quality of welding.
[0030] Both ends of the connecting plate 3 are provided with positioning plates 91. The two ends of the connecting spring 94 are fixedly connected to the two positioning plates 91 respectively. The positioning plates 91 are slidably connected in the connecting cavity 7. The positioning groove 92 is located at the side end of the positioning plate 91. The positioning groove 92 has a V-shaped structure. The pressure sensing module 93 is located at the bottom of the positioning groove 92. Both sides of the locking plate 6 are fixedly connected with side plates 8. The locking plate 6 and the two side plates 8 form a cross-shaped structure. The side plates 8 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the connecting cavity 7. The top of the locking plate 6 is hinged with two traction rods 95. 95 is hinged to two positioning plates 91 respectively. Before the headrest fixing foot 4 and the positioning block 1 are installed, the positioning plate 91 is retracted inside the connecting plate 3 to avoid interfering with the installation of the headrest fixing foot 4. After the headrest fixing foot 4 is installed, the pressing plate 17 presses the sliding plate 12 to make the positioning plate 91 pop out of the connecting plate 3. When the headrest fixing foot 4 is pulled, the headrest fixing foot 4 is engaged in the positioning groove 92, thereby positioning the distance between the side end of the headrest fixing foot 4 and the positioning block 1, so that the positioning protrusion 226 can be finely adjusted and engaged in the engagement groove 10.
[0031] A spring shaft 154 is fixedly connected to the middle of the positioning block 1. A rotating plate 151 is provided in the middle of the spring shaft 154. A locking head 152 and a blocking plate 153 are fixedly connected to the two ends of the rotating plate 151 respectively. Locking grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the locking plate 6. Before the headrest fixing foot 4 is installed with the positioning block 1, the locking head 152 and the locking groove 11 are engaged. The top of the sliding plate 12 is inclined. A first return spring 13 is fixedly connected between the tail end of the sliding plate 12 and the positioning block 1. A pressing protrusion 14 is fixedly connected to the side end of the sliding plate 12. The pressing protrusion 14 abuts against the side end of the rotating plate 151. When the sliding plate 12 is pressed, the sliding plate 12 drives the pressing protrusion 14 to move together. The pressing protrusion 14 presses the rotating plate 151, thereby moving the locking head 152 out of the locking groove 11. Under the action of the connecting spring 94, the two positioning plates 91 pop out of the connecting plate 3.
[0032] First, the headrest fixing foot 4 is engaged in the mounting groove 16. During the installation process, the headrest fixing foot 4 presses against the guide slope 222 at the upper end of the blocking block 221, thereby pushing the blocking block 221 and the pressing plate 17 to move together and compressing the connecting spring 94. When the headrest fixing foot 4 moves below the blocking block 221, the blocking block 221 resets, positioning the headrest fixing foot 4 vertically. When the pressing plate 17 moves, it presses against the sliding plate 12, causing the positioning plate 91 to pop out of the connecting plate 3. At this time, the headrest fixing foot 4 is pulled, and the headrest fixing foot 4 is engaged in the positioning groove 92, and the positioning protrusion 226 is engaged in the snap-fit groove 10. If the positioning protrusion 226 is not engaged in the snap-fit groove 10, the adjusting screw 21 is rotated, which drives the blocking block 221 to move, and the position of the blocking block 221 and the positioning protrusion 226 is finely adjusted to ensure that the headrest fixing foot 4 is positioned and fixed horizontally.
[0033] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it should be emphasized that the above description is merely an introduction and description of the usage of the embodiments of the present invention, and is not intended to limit the present invention in any way. Those skilled in the art will understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
