Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of accessory storage, and particularly to a metal rack for the forming and processing of an automotive front panel. Background Art
[0002] The automotive front panel is a common automotive accessory, which is arranged at the front part of the vehicle. During the production and processing of the automotive front panel, the metal rack is used to uniformly support and convey the automotive front panel. The automotive front panel is positioned and placed inside the metal rack. The automotive front panels in the front and rear positions are usually close to each other. The isolation columns on the rack body of the metal rack are used to separate and support the lower half area of the front panel, so that the automotive front panel is vertically stored at the designated position inside the metal rack. Only by supporting and positioning the front panel from the lower half area in a supporting manner below, the front and rear sides and the upper half area of the automotive front panel remain unobstructed inside the metal rack. When the automotive front panel is moved and transported by the drive of the metal rack, the upper half area is prone to offset movement, resulting in friction and collision between the front panels. At the same time, during the transportation of the automotive front panel, the automotive front panel positioned and placed inside the metal rack will be lifted and the storage angle will be adjusted to further reduce the friction and collision between the front panels or between the wire harnesses and pipe rods on the front panel during transportation, so as to protect the structural integrity and safety of the automotive front panel. The adjustment of the automotive front panel inside the metal rack and the state maintenance during the adjustment process are manually carried out by the staff operating the metal rack, which complicates the operation steps of the staff. It is impossible to accurately fasten and position each area of the automotive front panel at the designated position inside the metal rack, and it is not convenient to adjust the state during transportation, thus affecting the effect of the metal rack in transporting the automotive front panel and the operation efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In order to overcome the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, the present invention provides a metal rack for the forming and processing of an automotive front panel. Four automotive front panels are staggered and placed on the metal rack body by setting four front panel positioning modules. The front panel is first positioned on the front positioning frames at the left and right positions. The rear positioning frame moves forward to the end of the front panel, and two fastening seats clamp the end of the front panel one above the other. After the rear positioning frame and the open ends of the front positioning frames are spliced, the front panel is stably and effectively fastened and positioned on the metal rack body from the outside. The blocking and releasing module is positioned in front of the front panel to perform a covering surface treatment on the front panel. The profiling outer frame drives the front panel to turn inside the release hole plate, so that each area of the front panel maintains its state and gradually changes its orientation, so as to effectively adjust the storage state angle of each area of the front panel and continuously fix it regionally, reduce the operation space, shorten the operation steps, and improve the operation efficiency, so as to solve the problems raised in the above background art.

[0026] The following combines the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Regarding the specific mechanical structure of the present invention, it will be clearly presented in the following detailed description in conjunction with Figures 1 to 8 The detailed description of the structure. The structural contents mentioned in the following embodiments are all referenced to the drawings of the specification.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 1~8 , in the embodiment of the present invention, a metal rack for the forming and processing of the front bulkhead of an automobile includes a main body 1 of the metal rack. Four staggered blocking and releasing modules 2 are provided on the main body 1 of the metal rack. The blocking and releasing module 2 includes a release orifice plate 21 and a release box 22. The release orifice plate 21 is positioned in the idle area inside the main body 1 of the metal rack through the release box 22. Two front bulkhead positioning modules 3 are provided inside the blocking and releasing module 2. The front bulkhead positioning module 3 includes a front-end positioning frame 31, a rear-end positioning frame 32, and a reinforcing insertion rod 33.

The reinforcing insertion rod 33 is positioned inside the rear-end positioning frame 32 to insert and tighten the holes of the front bulkhead. Tail-end docking modules 4 are provided at both ends of the release orifice plate 21. The tail-end docking module 4 includes a profiled outer frame 41, a fastening seat 42, a steering drive member 43, and an extension drive member 44. The steering drive member 43 is fixed at the end of the release orifice plate 21 to position the extension drive member 44 outside the end of the release orifice plate 21. The number of the fastening seats 42 is two. The two fastening seats 42 are positioned one above the other inside the profiled outer frame 41. The profiled outer frame 41 is connected to the output end of the extension drive member 44.
[0028] The metal rack body 1 is used to support the front panel of the vehicle. The metal rack body 1 is moved by four rollers at the bottom to effectively convey the front panel of the vehicle. The metal rack body 1 is divided into two layers, and four blocking and releasing modules 2 are respectively arranged on the upper and lower layers of the metal rack body 1. Each layer has two blocking and releasing modules 2. At the same time, the positions of the four blocking and releasing modules 2 on the upper and lower layers are staggered, so as to effectively prevent the four blocking and releasing modules 2 from interfering with each other and ensure that the four blocking and releasing modules 2 can operate stably at the same time. The four blocking and releasing modules 2 correspond to four front panels of the vehicle to effectively support the four front panels of the vehicle in batches. The blocking and releasing module 2 is composed of a release orifice plate 21 and a release box 22. The release orifice plate 21 is fixedly connected to the inner side wall of the release box 22, and the release orifice plate 21 and the release box 22 are stably combined. A fixing plate 11 located below the blocking and releasing module 2 is fixedly connected to the metal rack body 1. A fixing seat 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixing plate 11, and the top end of the fixing seat 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the release box 22, so as to stably position the release orifice plate 21 and the release box 22 in the idle area inside the metal rack body 1. Hollow orifice plates 23 are fixedly connected to both the top and the bottom of the release orifice plate 21.

At the same time, the hollow orifice plates 23 are communicated with the release orifice plate 21, and the spraying range of the surface treatment material can be increased through the hollow orifice plates 23 to effectively process the front panel of the vehicle inside the metal rack body 1.
[0029] Two tail-end docking modules 4 are arranged at both ends of the release orifice plate 21. The tail-end docking module 4 is composed of a profiling outer frame 41, a fastening seat 42, a steering drive member 43 and an extension drive member 44. The steering drive member 43 is located at the end of the release orifice plate 21. The end of the release orifice plate 21 has an opening that cooperates with the steering drive member 43. The steering drive member 43 is fixedly connected inside the opening at the end of the release orifice plate 21 to stably connect the entire tail-end docking module 4 at the end position of the release orifice plate 21. The extension drive member 44 is fixedly connected to the output end of the steering drive member 43. The extension drive member 44 can be positioned outside the end of the release orifice plate 21, so that when the steering drive member 43 is activated, it can control the extension drive member 44 to rotate outside the release orifice plate 21 and adjust the position of the extension drive member 44. The extension drive member 44 is used to connect the profiling outer frame 41. A combined block 411 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the profiling outer frame 41. The output end of the extension drive member 44 is fixedly connected to the combined block 411. The number of fastening seats 42 is two. The fastening seats 42 are fixedly connected inside the profiling outer frame 41.

The opening part of the fastening seat 42 faces the blocking release module 2 to ensure that the fastening seat 42 and the profiling outer frame 41 can smoothly approach the end of the vehicle front panel. The steering drive member 43 controls the extension drive member 44 to rotate outside the release orifice plate 21. The profiling outer frame 41 and the fastening seat 42 can rotate outside the release orifice plate 21 together with the extension drive member 44. When the extension drive member 44 is activated, it can drive the profiling outer frame 41 and the fastening seat 42 to move linearly outwards through the combined block 411, effectively adjusting the positions of the profiling outer frame 41 and the fastening seat 42. By adjusting the positions of the profiling outer frame 41 and the fastening seat 42, the movement of the vehicle front panel inside the metal rack body 1 can be controlled.
[0030] Two front apron positioning modules 3 are symmetrically arranged inside the blocking and releasing module 2, and the two blocking and releasing modules 2 correspond to the two tail-end docking modules 4. The front apron positioning module 3 is composed of a front-end positioning frame 31, a rear-end positioning frame 32 and a reinforcing plug rod 33. A combined plate 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the rear-end positioning frame 32, and the other end of the combined plate 35 is fixedly connected to the top of the corresponding profiling outer frame 41. The inner side wall of the release hole plate 21 and the bottom end of the fixed seat 12 both have steering guide grooves that match the front-end positioning frame 31. The front-end positioning frame 1 is snap-fitted inside the steering guide groove on the inner side wall of the release hole plate 21, and the bottom of the front-end positioning frame 31 is snap-fitted inside the steering guide groove at the bottom end of the fixed seat 12, so that the front-end positioning frame 31 can move along the groove wall of the steering guide groove inside the steering guide groove, and the front-end positioning frame 31 moves inside the release hole plate 21. The rear-end positioning frame 32 follows the profiling outer frame 41 for position adjustment, so that the rear-end positioning frame 32 can approach the front-end positioning frame 31. The open ends of the front-end positioning frame 31 and the rear-end positioning frame 32 both have matching stock clamping inclined surfaces, and the open ends of the rear-end positioning frame 32 and the front-end positioning frame 31 can be clamped tightly together to effectively join the front-end positioning frame 31 and the rear-end positioning frame 32. The front-end positioning frame 31 is positioned inside the blocking and releasing module 2, and the automotive front apron can be placed inside the front-end positioning frame 31 through the gap between the rear-end positioning frame 32 and the front-end positioning frame 31, and the front-end positioning frame 31 supports and positions the automotive front apron. The rear-end positioning frame 32 gradually approaches the front-end positioning frame 31, and the rear-end positioning frame 32 is clamped tightly inside the front-end positioning frame 31 to be able to clamp and position the automotive front apron from the outside, so as to effectively clamp and fix the automotive front apron inside the metal rack body 1. An extension plate 34 corresponding to the reinforcing plug rod 33 is fixedly connected to the side of the rear-end positioning frame 32, and the reinforcing plug rod 33 is fixedly connected to the other end of the extension plate 34. The reinforcing plug rod 33 can move together with the rear-end positioning frame 32 when the rear-end positioning frame 32 moves, so that the reinforcing plug rod 33 is inserted tightly into the corresponding holes on the front apron to further fix and position the automotive front apron. Multi-point positioning of the automotive front apron is carried out to improve the stability of the automotive front apron placed inside the metal rack body 1.
[0031] On the metal rack body 1, four front panel positioning modules 3 are staggeredly distributed. Four automobile front panels are staggeredly placed in the idle space inside the metal rack body 1. The front panels are first positioned on the front positioning frames 31 at the left and right positions. The rear positioning frame 32 is controlled by two stretching driving parts 44 at the end of the release hole plate 21 and moves towards the ends of the front panels. The profiling outer frame 41 matches the shape of the ends of the front panels and is larger than the ends of the front panels in size, so that the ends of the front panels can enter the opening parts of the two fastening seats 42 and are clamped inside the two fastening seats 42. After the rear positioning frame 32 is spliced with the open end of the front positioning frame 31, the front panels are stably and effectively clamped and positioned on the metal rack body 1 from the outside. The blocking release module 2 is positioned in front of the front panels. The release box 22 releases the surface treatment material into the release hole plate 21, and the release hole plate 21 and the two hollow hole plates 23 at the upper and lower positions perform covering surface treatment on the front panels. The profiling outer frame 41 is controlled by the steering driving part 43, so that the two fastening seats 42 cooperate with the spliced front positioning frame 31 and rear positioning frame 32, and can drive the front panels to rotate along the steering guide groove on the release hole plate 21 inside the release hole plate 21, so as to stably and effectively adjust the steering of the front panels inside the release hole plate 21, change the orientation of the front panels, and make the regions of the front panels gradually rotate towards the release hole plate 21. It can keep the regions of the front panels in their states and gradually change the orientation, effectively adjust the storage state of the automobile front panels while regionally fastening and storing them, so as to effectively adjust the storage state angle of each region of the front panels and continuously fix them regionally, reduce the working space, shorten the working steps, improve the working efficiency, and protect the structural integrity and safety of the automobile front panels during transportation.
[0032] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: Automobile front panels are sequentially placed from the outside of the metal rack body 1 to the inside of the metal rack body 1. The front panels are first positioned on the front positioning frames 31 at the left and right positions. The rear positioning frame 32 is controlled by two stretching driving parts 44 to move towards the ends of the front panels. The ends of the front panels enter the opening parts of the two fastening seats 42 and are clamped inside the two fastening seats 42. The rear positioning frame 32 is spliced with the open end of the front positioning frame 31, and the front panels are stably and effectively clamped and positioned on the metal rack body 1 from the outside. The release hole plate 21 and the two hollow hole plates 23 at the upper and lower positions perform covering surface treatment on the front panels. The profiling outer frame 41 is controlled by the steering driving part 43, and drives the front panels to rotate along the steering guide groove on the release hole plate 21 inside the release hole plate 21, changing the orientation of the front panels and making the regions of the front panels gradually rotate towards the release hole plate 21. The metal rack body 1 moves through the four rollers at the bottom to transport the automobile front panels.
