When assembling hinges between the front engine compartment and the fender, the hinges often cannot be assembled smoothly due to improper hole diameter or position of the parts, resulting in problems such as low assembly success rate and high rework rate. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an assembly tooling and vehicle to solve one or more technical problems existing in the prior art.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] This section will describe in detail specific embodiments of the present invention. Preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings.

Terms like "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while terms like "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. The use of terms like "first," "second," and "third" is merely for distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, the number of indicated technical features, or the sequential relationship between indicated technical features.

[0022] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installing," and "connecting" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0023] In related technologies, fender hinges are prone to problems during assembly, such as excessively heavy tooling, difficulty in manual assembly, long operation time, unstable tooling mechanism, and inaccurate tooling.

[0024] Reference Figures 1 to 9 The following are several embodiments of an assembly tooling and vehicle according to the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the assembly fixture 100 of this embodiment is applied to the assembly process of the vertical fender hinge 900. The assembly fixture 100 includes a frame mechanism 800, a hinge positioning mechanism 200, a hinge connecting mechanism 300, a body positioning mechanism 400, and a body clamping mechanism 500. Specifically, the frame mechanism 800 is connected to the hinge positioning mechanism 200, the hinge connecting mechanism 300, the body positioning mechanism 400, and the body clamping mechanism 500 respectively, so that the multiple mechanisms are relatively fixed.

[0026] It is understood that the hinge positioning mechanism 200 includes a first positioning end; the hinge connecting mechanism 300 includes a first connecting end; the vehicle body positioning mechanism 400 includes a second positioning end; and the vehicle body clamping mechanism 500 includes a first clamping end.

[0027] With this configuration, the first positioning end positions the fender hinge 900, and the first connecting end is detachably connected to the fender hinge 900. Therefore, the fender hinge 900 can be accurately and stably connected to the assembly fixture 100 through the hinge positioning mechanism 200 and the hinge connecting mechanism 300.

[0028] The second positioning end positions the front of the vehicle body, and the first clamping end clamps the upper connecting beam of the wheel arch. Therefore, the assembly fixture 100 can be accurately and stably connected to the vehicle body through the vehicle positioning mechanism 400 and the vehicle clamping mechanism 500. The fender hinge 900 on the assembly fixture 100 is corrected by the front of the vehicle body and the connecting beam, and then the fender hinge 900 is assembled, thereby improving the assembly success rate of the fender hinge 900, reducing the rework rate, and achieving fast and accurate installation.

[0029] Understandably, the hinge positioning mechanism 200, hinge connection mechanism 300, body positioning mechanism 400 and body clamping mechanism 500 can be installed according to different vehicle models and different vertical fender hinges 900 to improve the applicability of the assembly tooling 100.

[0030] It is understood that the hinge positioning mechanism 200 includes a first telescopic pin component. Specifically, the first telescopic pin component includes a telescopically configured first pin housing 210 and a first positioning pin 220, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first positioning pin 220 extends out of the first pin housing 210 and passes through the fender hinge 900. The first positioning end is the first positioning pin 220, thereby realizing the positioning function of the first positioning end on the fender hinge 900. The first positioning pin 220 can also retract relative to the first pin housing 210 and move away from the fender hinge 900, which makes it convenient to remove the assembly tooling 100 after the fender hinge 900 is assembled.

[0031] In this embodiment, the first telescopic pin component is telescopically extended in the front-to-back direction, and the first positioning pin 220 extends from front to back to position the fender hinge 900, accurately defining the left-right and up-down positions of the fender hinge 900.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first telescopic pin component can be automatically controlled to extend and retract by means of an electric motor, a pneumatic cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder, making operation simple.

[0033] In other embodiments, the first telescopic pin component is manually retractable. Specifically, the first telescopic pin component also includes a first handle 230, such as... Figure 3 As shown, the first pin housing 210 is cylindrical, and the first handle 230 is hinged to the first positioning pin 220 and the first pin housing 210 respectively via hinges. Thus, when the first handle 230 is rotated, the first positioning pin 220 can extend or retract into the first pin housing 210 relative to the first handle 230.

[0034] Understandably, the hinge positioning mechanism 200 also includes a second connecting end, which is used for detachable connection with the fender hinge 900. The second connecting end cooperates with the first connecting end to connect the fender hinge 900, improving the connection stability of the fender hinge 900 on the assembly fixture 100. Since the fender hinge 900 itself has a small area, the second connecting end can first connect the fender hinge 900 to ensure the connection accuracy and stability between the fender hinge 900 and the assembly fixture 100, ensuring that the fender hinge 900 will not fall off the assembly fixture 100.

[0035] It is understandable that both the second connecting end and the first connecting end are detachably connected to the fender hinge 900, which facilitates the connection of the fender hinge 900 before its assembly and the easy separation of the fender hinge 900 from the first connecting end and the second connecting end after its assembly is completed.

[0036] Understandably, due to the principle of coplanarity, in order to improve the connection stability of the fender hinge 900 in the assembly fixture 100, it should include at least one second connection end and two first connection ends, or two second connection ends and one first connection end.

[0037] In this embodiment, two hinge positioning mechanisms 200 are provided and spaced apart in the left-right direction, such as... Figure 1 As shown. Correspondingly, the two second connecting ends and one first connecting end are connected together to the fender hinge 900, so that the fender hinge 900 is firmly connected to the assembly fixture 100. The two first locating pins 220 are respectively inserted through the left and right ends of the fender hinge 900, improving the accuracy of the relative position between the fender hinge 900 and the assembly fixture 100.

[0038] Furthermore, the hinge positioning mechanism 200 also includes a connecting block and a shim for adjusting the gap, ensuring the positioning accuracy of the first positioning pin 220 and the fender hinge 900 and the connection accuracy of the second connecting end and the fender hinge 900.

[0039] In this embodiment, the second connecting end is the second magnetic element 240, such as... Figure 3 As shown. Specifically, the second magnetic component 240 is embedded in the rear end face of the first pin housing 210 from back to front, and the two are connected by magnetically adsorbing the front end face of the fender hinge 900.

[0040] It is understood that the hinge connection mechanism 300 includes a positioning block 310 and a first magnetic element 320, such as Figure 4As shown. Specifically, the positioning block 310 is connected to the frame mechanism 800, and the first magnetic component 320 is embedded in the rear end face of the positioning block 310 from back to front. The first connecting end is the first magnetic component 320, and the rear end of the first magnetic component 320 magnetically attracts the front end face of the fender hinge 900, thereby realizing the connection between the fender hinge 900 and the assembly fixture 100.

[0041] Understandably, the rear ends of the first magnetic component 320 and the second magnetic component 240 are both used to connect to the front end of the fender hinge 900. Thus, the front and rear positions of the fender hinge 900 can be precisely positioned using the first magnetic component 320 and the second magnetic component 240.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first magnetic element 320 is located between the two second magnetic elements 240. Both the first magnetic element 320 and the second magnetic element 240 are magnets.

[0043] It is understandable that the frame mechanism 800 is also connected to an auxiliary clamping mechanism 600, such as... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 8 As shown, the auxiliary clamping mechanism 600 includes a second clamping end, which is used to control the fender hinge 900 in the air.

[0044] In this embodiment, the auxiliary clamping mechanism 600 includes a second clamping device 610 and a second clamping member 620, such as... Figure 8 As shown. Specifically, the second clamping device 610 is connected to the frame mechanism 800, and the output end of the second clamping device 610 is connected to the second clamping member 620. The second clamping end is the second clamping member 620, which corresponds to the upper end of the fender hinge 900.

[0045] Thus, when the second clamp 610 is activated, the second clamp 610 drives the second clamping member 620 to move from back to front, abutting against the upper end of the fender hinge 900, correcting the swaying error caused by the upper end of the fender hinge 900 being suspended in the air.

[0046] Understandably, the second clamp 610 can be electrically controlled or manually operated.

[0047] In this embodiment, the second clamp 610 is a manual clamp, which is convenient for operators to use on site.

[0048] It is understood that the vehicle body positioning mechanism 400 is the second telescopic pin component. The structure of the second telescopic pin component is the same as that of the first telescopic pin component. Therefore, the second telescopic pin component includes a second pin housing 410 and a second positioning pin 420, as shown below. Figure 5As shown. Specifically, the second positioning pin 420 can extend relative to the second pin housing 410 and pass through the side hole at the front of the vehicle body. The second positioning end is the second positioning pin 420, thereby realizing the positioning function of the second positioning end on the front of the vehicle body. The second positioning pin 420 can also retract relative to the second pin housing 410 and move away from the front of the vehicle body, so that the assembly tool 100 can be removed from the front of the vehicle body after the fender hinge 900 is assembled.

[0049] In this embodiment, the second positioning pin 420 extends from front to back to position the side hole at the front of the vehicle body, precisely defining the left-right and up-down positions of the assembly tooling 100 and the front of the vehicle body.

[0050] It is understandable that the second telescopic pin component can be automatically controlled by a motor, cylinder, or hydraulic cylinder to extend and retract the second positioning pin 420.

[0051] In this embodiment, the second telescopic pin component is manually retractable. Specifically, the second telescopic pin component includes a second handle 430, such as... Figure 5 As shown, the second pin housing 410 is cylindrical and has a concave groove on its arc wall. The two ends of the concave groove extend along the circumferential direction, and the middle part of the concave groove extends along the axial direction of the second pin housing 410. One end of the second handle 430 is connected to the second positioning pin 420 inside the second pin housing 410, and the other end of the second handle 430 extends out of the concave groove. The second handle 430 slides in the concave groove, which makes it convenient for the operator to control the extension and retraction of the second positioning pin 420 by sliding the second handle 430, so as to ensure the stability of the extension and retraction of the second positioning pin 420.

[0052] In some embodiments, multiple vehicle positioning mechanisms 400 are provided, and the number of vehicle positioning mechanisms 400 corresponds to the number of side holes at the front of the vehicle body.

[0053] In this embodiment, two vehicle positioning mechanisms 400 are provided and spaced apart in the left-right direction, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the positions of both ends of the connecting beam on the wheel arch at the front of the vehicle body are confirmed simultaneously.

[0054] Understandably, the vehicle positioning mechanism 400 also includes connecting blocks and shims for adjusting the gap, ensuring the positioning accuracy of the vehicle positioning mechanism 400 and the front of the vehicle.

[0055] It is understood that the vehicle body clamping mechanism 500 includes a connecting block 510, a first clamping device 520, and a first clamping member 530, such as... Figure 7As shown. Specifically, the connecting block 510 is connected to the frame mechanism 800, the connecting block 510 is connected to the first clamp 520, the output end of the first clamp 520 is connected to the first clamping member 530, the first clamping end is the first clamping member 530, the first clamping member 530 corresponds to the upper connecting beam at the front of the vehicle body, and the first clamping member 530 also corresponds to the connecting block 510.

[0056] Thus, when the assembly fixture 100 moves to the front of the vehicle body, the connecting block 510 positions the upper connecting beam, and the first clamp 520 is activated. The first clamp 520 drives the first clamping member 530 to move from back to front, and the first clamping member 530 abuts against the upper connecting beam, so that the upper connecting beam is clamped between the connecting block 510 and the first clamping member 530.

[0057] It is understood that the first clamp 520 can be an electric clamp or a manual clamp. In this embodiment, the first clamp 520 is a manual clamp that is convenient for workers to operate on-site.

[0058] It is understandable that the assembly fixture 100 also includes a body connecting mechanism 700, which includes a telescopic shell 710 and a third magnetic component 720, such as... Figure 6 As shown. Specifically, the telescopic shell 710 is connected to the frame mechanism 800. The third magnetic component 720 extends from the rear to the front into the telescopic shell 710. When the third magnetic component 720 extends relative to the telescopic shell 710, the rear end face of the third magnetic component 720 is on the same plane as the rear end face of the telescopic shell 710. At this time, the third magnetic component 720 is magnetically connected to the front of the vehicle body, and the rear end face of the telescopic shell 710 is positioned relative to the front of the vehicle body. When the third magnetic component 720 retracts relative to the telescopic shell 710, the rear end face of the third magnetic component 720 is located in front of the rear end face of the telescopic shell 710. At this time, the vehicle body connecting mechanism 700 cannot connect to the front of the vehicle body. The telescopic design of the third magnetic component 720 reduces the scraping and rubbing problems that occur when the assembly tooling 100 is removed.

[0059] In some embodiments, the third magnetic element 720 can be driven to extend out of the telescopic shell 710 by means of a motor, cylinder or the like.

[0060] In this embodiment, the arc-shaped wall of the telescopic shell 710 is provided with a concave groove with the same shape as the second telescopic component. The third magnetic component 720 is connected to a third handle 730. The third handle 730 slides along the concave groove, which makes it convenient for workers to adjust the telescopic state of the third magnetic component 720.

[0061] Understandably, the third magnetic component 720 is a magnet.

[0062] It is understandable that the frame structure 800 includes the frame body 810, such as Figure 9As shown. Specifically, the frame body 810 is bolted to the first pin housing 210, the second pin housing 410, and the telescopic housing 710. A mounting hole 830 is provided in the middle of the frame body 810. The mounting hole 830 connects the front and rear faces of the frame body 810, giving the frame body 810 a U-shaped structure, ensuring the positioning stability of the frame body 810. The mounting hole 830 allows an L-shaped torque wrench to be inserted, facilitating the installation of the fender hinge 900 while ensuring the structural stability of the frame body 810.

[0063] Furthermore, the mounting holes 830 can also reduce the weight of the frame body 810, thereby reducing the weight of the assembly tooling 100.

[0064] In some embodiments, the frame body 810 is connected to a starting device, and the assembly tool 100 is brought closer to or away from the front of the vehicle body by mechanical lifting, so as to complete the assembly of the fender hinge 900.

[0065] In this embodiment, the frame mechanism 800 further includes an assembly handle 820 connected to the frame body 810, such as... Figure 9 As shown, there are two assembly handles 820, located above and below the mounting hole 830 respectively, to facilitate manual loading and unloading of parts.

[0066] Assembly principle of assembly fixture 100: Since the vertical fender hinge 900 has no overlapping upper and lower positioning surfaces, the first positioning pins 220 of the two hinge positioning mechanisms 200 extend and position the fender hinge 900, the two second magnetic components 240 magnetically attract and position the fender hinge 900, the first magnetic component 320 of the hinge connection mechanism 300 magnetically attracts and positions the fender hinge 900, and the second clamping component 620 of the auxiliary clamping mechanism 600 clamps the part of the fender hinge 900 that wobbles a lot, thereby completing the positioning and connection of the fender hinge 900 and the assembly fixture 100.

[0067] The frame body 810 and its fender hinge 900 are manually clamped to the wheel arch connection beam position on the front of the vehicle body to be installed using the assembly handle 820. The second positioning pins 420 of the two vehicle body positioning mechanisms 400 extend and position the front of the vehicle body. The third magnetic component 720 of the vehicle body connection mechanism 700 extends and magnetically attracts and positions the front of the vehicle body. The first clamping component 530 of the vehicle body clamping mechanism 500 positions and clamps the front of the vehicle body, thereby completing the positioning and connection of the front of the vehicle body and the fender hinge 900.

[0068] Thus, through the assembly fixture 100, the fender hinge 900 is fixed relative to the front of the vehicle body. An L-shaped torque wrench inserted into the mounting hole 830 allows for precise attachment of the fender hinge 900 to the front of the vehicle body. After installation, the two first locating pins 220 and two second locating pins 420 retract, the third magnetic component 720 retracts, and the two first clamps 520 and one second clamp 610 open. This releases the two first clamps 530 from the front of the vehicle body and the second clamp 620 from the fender hinge 900, preventing excessive magnetic force from the first locating pins 220 and 420, as well as the magnets of the assembly fixture 100, which could make removal difficult. Finally, the frame body 810 is manually removed, completing the entire installation process of the vertical fender hinge 900.

[0069] It is understandable that the assembly fixture 100 has advantages such as simple structure, small footprint, small size, light weight, high precision, convenient and flexible operation, and high reliability.

[0070] This invention also provides a vehicle, which includes a fender hinge 900, which is assembled using the assembly fixture 100 described above.

[0071] Understandably, the vehicle can be a private car, such as a sedan, SUV, MPV, or pickup truck. It can also be a commercial vehicle, such as a van, bus, small truck, or large semi-trailer. The vehicle must have an electric motor capable of outputting power or acting as a generator to store mechanical energy. When the vehicle is a new energy vehicle, it can be a hybrid or a pure electric vehicle.

[0072] Since the fender hinge 900 of the vehicle is assembled using all the technical solutions of the above-mentioned assembly tooling 100, it has at least all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be repeated here.

[0073] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above, but the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described. Those skilled in the art can make various equivalent modifications or substitutions without departing from the spirit of the present invention, and these equivalent modifications or substitutions are all included within the scope defined by the claims of this application.
