Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile pipeline tooling equipment, and in particular to an automobile pipeline connection tooling and a connection method. Background Art
[0002] As people's living standards continue to improve, automobile consumption is growing, the automobile market continues to expand, and automobile manufacturing plants have also ushered in rapid development. In the process of automobile assembly, the connection of automobile pipeline parts is very common, and the fixation and connection stability of automobile pipeline parts are crucial to automobile assembly.
[0003] In the prior art, different fixing tools are often required for automobile parts of different shapes. For automobile pipeline parts, the traditional method is to limit the parts by tooling or clamp the parts with the help of some device. However, this type of tooling has obvious defects: on the one hand, when facing automobile pipeline parts with tolerances, it is difficult to achieve complete adaptation and the limiting effect is poor; on the other hand, during the assembly of automobile pipeline parts, there is a lack of shock absorption and adjustment functions, which makes the parts very susceptible to collision and wear, affecting the quality and service life. In addition, in the docking link of pipeline parts, the existing connection tooling usually only fixes one end of the part through the tooling, and the other end relies on manual connection to achieve the purpose of pipeline connection. This operation method has significant disadvantages: when manually centering the connection, the connection force and accuracy are difficult to ensure the uniformity of the standard, and the ideal fully centering connection cannot be achieved. It is very easy to cause abnormalities at the connection, resulting in deformation of the pipeline parts when docking, which in turn has a negative impact on the later use of the parts, and even has an adverse effect on the function of the entire vehicle.
[0004] In summary, the existing automobile pipeline parts fixing and connection tooling has many shortcomings in practical applications, and a new type of tooling is urgently needed to solve the above problems in order to improve the quality and efficiency of automobile pipeline parts assembly. Summary of the invention

[0007] Furthermore, the first fixing module includes a fixing seat for positioning and clamping the first pipeline component and a sliding component for moving the fixing seat along the assembly direction.
[0008] Furthermore, a positioning component for positioning the first pipeline component on the fixing seat and a fixing component for clamping the first pipeline component to fix it on the fixing seat are fixed on the fixing seat; the positioning component includes one or more positioning pins that can cooperate with the positioning holes of the first pipeline component; the fixing component includes one or more clamping lever clamps fixed on the fixing seat.
[0009] Furthermore, the clamping lever clamp includes a clamping handle, a clamping lever assembly and a clamping jaw, and the clamping jaw is fixed with a clamping block that contacts the surface of the first pipeline part, presses the first pipeline part against the fixing seat, and can buffer vibration impact through its own deformation.
[0010] Furthermore, the sliding assembly includes a guide rail arranged along the assembly direction, a slider slidably connected to the guide rail, and a movement limiting mechanism for limiting the movement position of the fixing seat along the assembly direction, and the fixing seat is fixed on the slider.
[0011] Furthermore, the movable limiting mechanism includes limiters arranged on both sides of the guide rail in the length direction for limiting the sliding limit position of the fixed seat along the guide rail, and a pluggable limiting pin that can pass through the fixed seat and stop the fixed seat at a specified position on the guide rail.
[0012] Furthermore, the second fixing module includes a supporting assembly for supporting the second pipeline part and a limiting assembly for limiting the second pipeline part to an upper limit position on the supporting assembly; the supporting assembly includes one or more supporting seats; the limiting assembly includes a limiting hole opened on the supporting seat and corresponding to the limiting through hole of the second pipeline part, and a limiting lever clamp for positioning the second pipeline part at the upper limit position on the supporting seat through the limiting through hole and the limiting hole.
[0013] Furthermore, the limiting lever clamp includes a limiting handle, a limiting lever assembly and a limiting clamping claw, and the limiting clamping claw is fixed with a limiting rod that cooperates with the limiting through hole and the limiting hole and can coaxially pass through the limiting through hole and be inserted into the limiting hole.
[0014] Furthermore, the flip module includes a flip base and an articulated support hingedly connected to the flip base, a connecting sleeve rod is fixed on the articulated support, and the connecting piece can be coaxially set on the connecting sleeve rod; the articulated support can rotate around the articulated axis to make the connecting piece leave or reach a position where it is simultaneously docked with the first pipeline part and the second pipeline part.
[0015] Furthermore, an automobile pipeline connection method based on the above-mentioned automobile pipeline connection tooling includes the following steps: installing the first pipeline part and the connector on the first fixing module and the flipping module respectively, driving the first pipeline part to leave the position docking with the connector, driving the connector to reach the position docking with the first pipeline part, driving the first pipeline part to reach the position docking with the connector, and docking the first pipeline part with the connector; driving the first pipeline part and the connector to leave the position docking with the second pipeline part, flipping the flipping module to a position that does not affect the docking of the first pipeline part, the connector and the second pipeline part, installing the second pipeline part on the second fixing module, driving the first pipeline part and the connector to reach the position docking with the second pipeline part, and docking the first pipeline part, the connector and the second pipeline part.

The sliding assembly (guide rail + slider) of the first fixing module can accurately control the movement of the fixing seat along the assembly direction to avoid the displacement of the pipeline parts, ensure the coaxial docking of the first pipeline part, the connector and the second pipeline part, and significantly improve the connection assembly accuracy. The limiter and pluggable limit pin in the sliding assembly can accurately limit the sliding position of the fixing seat, prevent the internal structure of the pipeline parts from being damaged due to excessive thrust, and ensure the integrity of the parts during the connection process. The flip module rotates around the hinge axis through the hinged support, and can flexibly drive the connector to reach or leave the docking position, so that only the first pipeline part can be pushed to complete the precise docking with the connector, reducing the intensity of manual operation and improving work efficiency; the flip design can also avoid interference, ensuring a smooth docking process of the three and uniform connection quality. Each module has a clear division of labor (positioning, limiting, moving, flipping), and modular coordination is used to achieve orderly docking of pipeline parts, standardize the operating process, reduce human errors, and ensure the uniformity and stability of connection quality, which is suitable for efficient assembly operations of automotive pipelines.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0035] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments.
[0036] Definition of noun:
[0037] Lever clamp: Lever clamp is a commonly used tool in automobile manufacturing and maintenance, including drive mechanism, clamping jaws and lever mechanism. The drive mechanism provides power for the opening and closing of the clamping jaws. Common drive methods include manual, pneumatic and hydraulic. The manual drive mechanism usually uses devices such as screws, nuts or handles to achieve the clamping and loosening of the clamping jaws through manual operation; the pneumatic drive mechanism uses compressed air as the power source, and controls the movement of the clamping jaws through components such as cylinders and solenoid valves. It has the advantages of fast response speed and convenient operation; the hydraulic drive mechanism uses the pressure of hydraulic oil to drive the clamping jaws, which can generate a large clamping force and is suitable for occasions with high clamping force requirements. The clamping jaw is the part that directly contacts the automobile pipeline parts, and is usually made of high-strength aluminum alloy or stainless steel to ensure sufficient strength and wear resistance. The shape and size of the clamping jaw are designed according to different pipeline parts, and the inner side is generally installed with a rubber or nylon pad to increase friction and prevent damage to the surface of the parts. The working process includes: the operator opens the jaws of the lever clamp to a suitable opening through manual or pneumatic, hydraulic and other driving methods so as to accommodate the automotive pipeline parts to be clamped. The automotive pipeline parts are placed at the predetermined position of the clamp to ensure that the parts are fully in contact with the positioning surface of the clamp to achieve accurate positioning. The drive device applies force to the lever, and through the amplification effect of the lever, the clamp generates a clamping force to tightly clamp the automotive pipeline parts. After the parts are clamped, the operator can perform various assembly operations. Since the lever clamp provides stable clamping and accurate positioning, the operator can focus on the assembly work, improving work efficiency and assembly quality. After the assembly operation is completed, the drive mechanism releases the force on the lever, and the clamp releases the clamped automotive pipeline parts.
[0038] Limiter: A limiter is a device used to limit the sliding limit position of the slider along the guide rail. Common types include mechanical stops and hydraulic buffers. Mechanical stops: Mechanical stops are installed at the limit position of the guide rail. When the slider moves to this point, it directly collides with the stopper, and the slider is prevented from moving further through mechanical force. Hydraulic buffer: Using the damping effect of the liquid, when the slider approaches the limit position, the hydraulic buffer will gradually absorb the kinetic energy of the slider and make it stop smoothly.
