The body hole floating mandrel 716 is concentric with the body bushing positioning seat 704, and is jacked up by the body hole floating mandrel cylinder 720 through the connecting frame 717. The body bushing is positioned on the body hole floating mandrel 716, which cooperates with the body bushing hole of the rear subframe. The lower end face of the body bushing hole of the rear subframe contacts the upper end face of the body bushing positioning seat 704, realizing the positioning of the rear subframe on the tool mechanism 7. During the pressing process of the body bushing, the body hole floating mandrel 716 moves downward along the body hole floating mandrel guide rail 719 through the body hole floating mandrel slide block 718 on the connecting frame 717. After the body bushing pressing is completed, the body hole floating mandrel 716 is jacked up again. The tool mechanism 7 is positioned and connected with the tool mounting plate 307 on the Y-direction servo sliding table mechanism 3 through the tool positioning sleeve 706, so as to realize the Y-direction movement of the tool mechanism 7 on the Y-direction servo sliding table mechanism 3.

[0038] In order to more directly disclose the technical solutions of the present application and highlight the beneficial effects of the present application, the structure and working principle of the multi-direction bushing press-fitting equipment for the rear subframe will be described in conjunction with specific embodiments. In actual use, the operator positions the rear subframe on the tooling mechanism 7 and then starts the press. The Y-direction servo sliding table mechanism 3 drives the rear subframe on the tooling mechanism 7 to move in the Y-direction to a specific position. The left transverse press 2 moves a certain distance to the right under the drive of the left transverse cylinder 214. At this time, the pull block 217 of the left transverse press 2 is aligned with the groove of the bushing positioning plate 702. Then the Y-direction servo sliding table mechanism 3 drives the rear subframe on the tooling mechanism 7 to move in the Y-direction to align the left side suspension hole of the rear subframe with the left transverse press 2. The left transverse cylinder 214 drives the pull block 217 to pull the bushing positioning plate 702 to the left to contact the suspension bushing positioning seat 707 with the suspension hole of the rear subframe. The transverse pressing head 219 of the left transverse press 2 moves to the right to pass the suspension bushing 710 on the suspension bushing positioning frame 711 on the transverse pressing head 219. The suspension bushing positioning frame 711 is retracted to the original position under the drive of the suspension bushing lifting cylinder 712. The transverse pressing head 219 continues to move to the right until the suspension bushing 710 is pressed into the suspension hole of the rear subframe. The transverse pressing head 219 returns to the tooling mechanism 7 and continues to move a certain distance in the Y-direction, so that the pull block 217 of the left transverse press 2 exits the groove of the bushing positioning plate 702 and returns to the original position. The bushing positioning plate 702 returns to the original position under the drive of the right cylinder 703. The Y-direction servo sliding table mechanism 3 drives the rear subframe on the tooling mechanism 7 to continue to move to the positions of the left vertical press 5 and the right vertical press 6, and completes the press-fitting of the body bushing.

[0039] When the press-fitting of the body bushing is completed, the tooling mechanism 7 returns to a specific position in the Y-direction. Similar to the left transverse press 2, the press-fitting of the right suspension bushing is completed. Finally, the tooling mechanism 7 returns to the original position in the Y-direction, and the press-fitting of the eight bushings in three directions of the rear subframe is completed.

[0040] As a person skilled in the art, it is easily known that the multi-direction bushing press-fitting equipment for the rear subframe has the advantages that the rear subframe is clamped once by the tooling mechanism 7, and the press-fitting of the eight bushings in three directions of the rear subframe is completed under the cooperation of the Y-direction servo sliding table mechanism 3 and the left transverse press 2, the right transverse press 4, the left vertical press 5 and the right vertical press 6. Therefore, the labor cost is greatly saved, the labor intensity is reduced, and the operating cost is reduced.

[0041] In summary, the multi-direction bushing press-fitting equipment for the rear subframe has the advantages that the rear subframe is clamped once by the tooling mechanism 7, and the press-fitting of the eight bushings in three directions of the rear subframe is completed under the cooperation of the Y-direction servo sliding table mechanism 3 and the left transverse press 2, the right transverse press 4, the left vertical press 5 and the right vertical press 6. Therefore, the labor cost is greatly saved, the labor intensity is reduced, and the operating cost is reduced.

[0042] Those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications and variations can be made to the present application without departing from the spirit or scope of the application. Accordingly, it is to be understood that the application is intended to cover all such modifications and variations as fall within the scope of the claims and their equivalents.
