[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a positioning device with an internal cavity shape, comprising: a first positioning plate, a second positioning plate, a third positioning plate, and a fourth positioning plate. The first positioning plate has its two ends connected to the third and fourth positioning plates, and the second positioning plate has its two ends connected to the third and fourth positioning plates, respectively. The second positioning plate is disposed on one side of the first positioning plate. A cavity is provided within the area enclosed by the first, second, third, and fourth positioning plates. The cavity has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A first elastic element is provided between the first, third, and fourth positioning plates, and a second elastic element is provided between the second, third, and fourth positioning plates. Multiple positioning holes are provided on each of the first, second, third, and fourth positioning plates.

[0035] Example 1:

[0036] Please see Figure 1-3 This invention provides a positioning device with an internal cavity shape, comprising: a first positioning plate 1, a second positioning plate 2, a third positioning plate 3, and a fourth positioning plate 4. The two ends of the first positioning plate 1 are respectively connected to the third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4. The two ends of the second positioning plate 2 are also respectively connected to the third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4. The second positioning plate 2 is disposed on one side of the first positioning plate 1. A cavity 5 is provided within the area enclosed by the first positioning plate 1, the second positioning plate 2, the third positioning plate 3, and the fourth positioning plate 4. The cavity 5 has a structure that is wider at the top and narrower at the bottom. A first elastic element 6 is provided between the first positioning plate 1, the third positioning plate 3, and the fourth positioning plate 4. A second elastic element 7 is provided between the second positioning plate 2, the third positioning plate 3, and the fourth positioning plate 4. Multiple positioning holes 8 are provided on each of the first positioning plate 1, the second positioning plate 2, the third positioning plate 3, and the fourth positioning plate 4.

[0037] Specifically, the third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4 are detachably connected to the first positioning plate 1, and the third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4 are detachably connected to the second positioning plate 2.

[0038] Specifically, both the third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4 are provided with handles 13. This makes it easy to carry the entire device by hand.

[0039] Specifically, a fifth positioning plate 15 is provided between the third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4, and the fifth positioning plate 15 abuts against the side of the first positioning plate 1. This makes the entire device more stable.

[0040] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: By setting the first, second, third, and fourth positioning plates, these plates form a shape that matches the finished part. During welding, the sheet metal constituting the part is attached to the corresponding positioning plate. A positioning pin is inserted through the hole on the sheet metal into the positioning hole to complete the positioning of the sheet metal. Welding is then performed, and finally, the positioning pin is removed, and the entire device is pulled out. This achieves rapid and accurate positioning, and the operation is simple and convenient. By setting a first elastic element between the first, third, and fourth positioning plates, and a second elastic element between the second, third, and fourth positioning plates, the first and second elastic elements can provide deformation space when the first, second, third, and fourth positioning plates expand due to heat during long-term use. This prevents the structure formed by the first, second, third, and fourth positioning plates from bulging and deforming, thereby improving the welding quality of the product.

[0041] Example 2:

[0042] See Figure 1-3 The figure shows a positioning device with an internal cavity shape provided by Embodiment 2 of the present invention. This embodiment further improves upon the previous embodiment by providing the following technical solution: The first positioning plate 1 has locking blocks 9 at both ends, and the third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4 each have locking slots 10. The locking blocks 9 are inserted into the locking slots 10. The first positioning plate 1 and the second positioning plate 2 have the same structure. The first and second positioning plates are detachably connected by locking blocks that engage with the corresponding locking slots on the third and fourth positioning plates, making assembly and disassembly convenient and facilitating storage when not in use.

[0043] Example 3:

[0044] See Figure 1-3The figure shows a positioning device with an internal cavity shape provided by Embodiment 3 of the present invention. This embodiment further improves upon the above embodiments by providing the following technical solution: Both the first elastic member 6 and the second elastic member 7 are provided with a first through hole 11, the size of which is adapted to the size of the locking block 9. Through the provision of the first and second elastic members, during the use of this device, the first, second, third, and fourth positioning plates are prone to expansion and deformation due to heat. The first and second elastic members provide space for deformation, preventing the first and second positioning plates from expanding apart from the third and fourth positioning plates, thus maintaining the overall shape. Specifically, the first elastic member 6 and the second elastic member 7 are both elastic rubber gaskets.

[0045] Example 4:

[0046] See Figure 1-3 The figure shows a positioning device with an internal cavity shape provided by Embodiment 4 of the present invention. This embodiment further improves upon the above embodiments by providing the following technical solutions: The first positioning plate 1 is a rectangular plate, and a second through hole 12 is provided on the first positioning plate 1. The third positioning plate 3 and the fourth positioning plate 4 are respectively provided with third through holes 14. The second and third through holes can serve as thermal expansion notches, allowing the plate to undergo slight deformation when heated, thereby reducing thermal stress caused by restricted thermal expansion.

[0047] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
