Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive auxiliary tools technology, and more specifically, to a multifunctional vehicle spare equipment clamp. Background Technology

[0002] The styling and functionality of hardcore off-road vehicles rely on two core components: a full-size spare tire and a tailgate toolbox. The assembly quality of these components directly affects the vehicle's appearance and off-road performance. Currently, automakers' final assembly workshops generally use a work mode where assisted robotic arms assemble the spare tire and manual assembly of the tailgate toolbox is performed. However, as the market demands higher standards for the styling and load-bearing capacity of the tailgate toolbox, the traditional manual assembly method violates ergonomic requirements, significantly reducing operational safety and adaptability. Furthermore, the industry typically requires two independent sets of assisted robotic arms or special fixtures for assembling the spare tire and toolbox, which is the current mainstream practice in the assembly and production of core off-road vehicle components.

[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a multifunctional vehicle spare equipment fixture to solve the technical problems of existing conventional fixtures being incompatible with different types of toolboxes and spare tires for gripping and assembly, and poor equipment versatility.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a multifunctional vehicle spare equipment clamp is provided, comprising: a support portion connected to a mounting base; a clamping portion connected to the support portion, the clamping portion having a clamping space for accommodating different types of target toolboxes or target spare tires, the clamping portion having a gripping position for gripping the target toolbox or target spare tire, and a release position for moving the target toolbox or target spare tire to a target location and then releasing the target toolbox or target spare tire; and a suction cup portion, a portion of which is located within the clamping space, the suction cup portion being spaced apart from the support portion, the suction cup portion having a suction cup structure, the suction cup portion being connected to the clamping portion, and a portion of which moves relative to the clamping portion to give the suction cup structure a working position and a clearance position; wherein, when the clamping portion grips the target toolbox, the suction cup structure is in the working position, and when the clamping portion grips the target spare tire, the suction cup structure is in the clearance position.

[0009] Furthermore, the clamping part includes: a fixed limiting frame connected to one end of the drive shaft; a first clamping rod located on one side of the fixed limiting frame, with one end of the first clamping rod connected to the fixed limiting frame; and a clamping limiting assembly connected to the fixed limiting frame, with the clamping limiting assembly and the first clamping rod spaced apart, and a portion of the clamping limiting assembly moving relative to the fixed limiting frame to give the clamping limiting assembly a gripping position and a releasing position; wherein the fixed limiting frame, the first clamping rod, and the clamping limiting assembly enclose a clamping space, and when the clamping limiting assembly is in the gripping position, the first clamping rod abuts against the target toolbox or the target spare tire.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping and limiting assembly includes: a clamping and limiting bracket, which is slidably connected to a fixed limiting frame and is disposed on the same side as the first clamping rod; a second clamping rod, one end of which is connected to the clamping and limiting bracket and is disposed on the same side as the first clamping rod; and a second driving cylinder, the fixed end of which is connected to the fixed limiting frame and the actuating end of which is connected to the clamping and limiting bracket, and the second driving cylinder extending along the length direction of the fixed limiting frame; wherein, controlling the actuating end of the second driving cylinder can cause the clamping and limiting bracket to drive the second clamping rod to move along the length direction of the fixed limiting frame, so as to move the second clamping rod closer to or away from the first clamping rod.

[0011] Furthermore, the suction cup unit also includes: a third driving cylinder, the fixed end of the third driving cylinder is connected to the fixed limit frame, the actuating end of the second driving cylinder is movably connected to the suction cup structure, the suction cup structure is connected to the fixed limit frame, and part of the suction cup structure can move relative to the fixed limit frame; wherein, controlling the actuating end of the second driving cylinder can make part of the suction cup structure be in the working position or the avoidance position.

[0015] By integrating a switchable suction cup section and a universal clamping section, the device is stably installed using a support section. The universal clamping space of the clamping section allows for the gripping, handling, and release of different types of target toolboxes and spare tires. Simultaneously, the suction cup structure dynamically adapts to different workpieces by switching to a working position when gripping a toolbox and to an avoidance position when gripping a spare tire. This precisely adapts to the differentiated assembly requirements of the two types of workpieces, eliminating the need for separate auxiliary equipment and fixtures for the spare tire and toolbox. This significantly reduces the equipment procurement and maintenance costs of automotive production lines, saves space on the production line side, and achieves mechanized and automated assembly of heavy-duty rear door toolboxes. It conforms to ergonomic operating standards, effectively improving the safety, versatility, and production efficiency of SUV core component assembly operations. It optimizes the overall layout and production efficiency of the production line and solves the technical problems of existing conventional fixtures being unable to grip and assemble different types of toolboxes and spare tires, and the poor equipment versatility.

However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art.

[0027] The exterior styling and core off-road functionality of a rugged off-road vehicle heavily rely on two key body components: a full-size spare tire and a tailgate toolbox. The assembly precision, fit, and stability of these two core components directly determine the overall appearance of the tailgate, the vehicle's sealing, the smoothness of its exterior, and the overall reliability of the vehicle in off-road use. They are crucial assembly processes in the final assembly of rugged off-road vehicles, and their assembly quality has a decisive impact on the quality of the finished vehicle.

[0028] Currently, domestic automakers' off-road vehicle assembly workshops generally use the traditional split-assembly mode, which employs robotic arms to lift and assemble full-size spare tires, while manual laborers use handheld tools to align, install, and lock the tailgate toolbox. This mode has long been the mainstream production method in the industry. However, with the iterative upgrades of the off-road vehicle market, consumers have increasingly higher requirements for the complexity of the tailgate toolbox's appearance, overall load-bearing capacity, fitting accuracy, and durability. The drawbacks of the traditional purely manual assembly of tailgate toolboxes are becoming increasingly apparent.

[0029] On the one hand, the rear door toolbox is large, heavy, and irregularly shaped. During manual assembly, it requires manual lifting, alignment, fine-tuning, and locking. Long-term high-intensity operation seriously violates the requirements of ergonomic design. It not only easily causes fatigue injury to operators and greatly reduces the efficiency of assembly work, but also easily causes problems such as misalignment, uneven gaps, and insufficient fit due to manual alignment deviation and uneven force. This results in poor product assembly consistency and low yield. At the same time, high-altitude lifting and alignment operations pose safety hazards such as parts falling off, squeezing, and collisions, which greatly reduces the safety of operation and the accuracy of parts fitting and assembly.

[0030] On the other hand, the industry currently employs a split-type operation configuration for two types of assembly components—full-size spare tires and tailgate toolboxes—which have completely different structures, dimensions, and assembly conditions. These require two separate sets of assisted robotic arms or dedicated assembly fixtures to complete the assembly process separately. This production model not only significantly increases the equipment procurement, maintenance, and site occupancy costs of automakers' production lines, but also results in extremely low equipment reuse rates. Furthermore, it necessitates two dedicated teams of operators and separate workstations, leading to cumbersome process connections and slow production cycles. This makes it difficult to meet the efficient, integrated, and intelligent assembly production needs of modern automakers, becoming a key pain point restricting the improvement of assembly efficiency and economics for core components of rugged off-road vehicles.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown in the embodiment of this application, a multifunctional vehicle spare equipment clamp includes: a support part 10 connected to a mounting base; a clamping part 20 connected to the support part 10, the clamping part 20 having a clamping space for accommodating different types of target toolboxes or target spare tires, the clamping part 20 having a gripping position for gripping the target toolbox or target spare tire, and a release position for moving the target toolbox or target spare tire to a target position and then releasing the target toolbox or target spare tire; and a suction cup part 30, a portion of the suction cup part 30 located within the clamping space, the suction cup part 30 being spaced apart from the support part 10, the suction cup part 30 having a suction cup structure, the suction cup part 30 being connected to the clamping part 20, and a portion of the suction cup part 30 moving relative to the clamping part 20 to give the suction cup structure a working position and a clearance position; wherein, when the clamping part 20 grips the target toolbox, the suction cup structure is in the working position, and when the clamping part 20 grips the target spare tire, the suction cup structure is in the clearance position.

[0032] This multi-functional vehicle spare parts fixture has a compact structure, integrating three main components: a support unit 10, a clamping unit 20, and a suction cup unit 30. It can simultaneously assemble two types of workpieces: vehicle toolboxes and spare tires, breaking the limitations of traditional single-operation equipment and significantly improving versatility. The clamping unit 20 can switch between gripping and releasing positions to complete the entire process of workpiece clamping, transfer, and placement, ensuring stable and reliable operation. The suction cup unit 30 can move flexibly relative to the clamping unit 20. When gripping a toolbox, the suction cup structure is in the working position for auxiliary fixation; when gripping a spare tire, it switches to an avoidance position to prevent interference, adapting to different workpiece shapes and assembly requirements. This fixture eliminates the need for multiple sets of independent tooling, simplifying production line equipment layout, reducing production input costs, and replacing manual heavy lifting operations. It meets ergonomic requirements and effectively improves the safety, efficiency, and accuracy of assembly operations.

[0033] Furthermore, the multi-functional vehicle spare equipment clamp also includes: a handle 40, which is connected to the clamping part 20, the handle 40 is spaced apart from the suction cup part 30, and the handle 40 is adjacent to the support part 10.

[0034] This embodiment adds a handle 40, which is connected to the clamping part 20 and spaced apart from the suction cup part 30, and arranged adjacent to the support part 10. The overall layout is reasonable and will not interfere with the movement of other structures. The handle 40 can assist the operator in completing operations such as fixture alignment, fine adjustment, and short-distance transfer, making operation convenient and labor-saving, and further optimizing the human-machine user experience. Combining the main structure of the support part 10, clamping part 20, and suction cup part 30, this embodiment can still be compatible with the assembly of two types of workpieces: target toolbox and target spare tire. The suction cup structure can switch the working position and avoidance position according to the work object to ensure smooth assembly. The whole device has a high degree of integration and comprehensive functions. It does not require the configuration of multiple sets of special tooling, effectively reducing the space occupied by production line equipment and procurement costs. It avoids the problems of high labor intensity and low safety of manual assembly, and the addition of the handle 40 improves the operational flexibility, comprehensively improving assembly efficiency and operational practicality.

[0035] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4 As shown, the support part 10 includes a support arm 101, one end of which is connected to the mounting base; and a support drive assembly, the fixed end of which is connected to the support arm 101, and the execution end of which is connected to the clamping part 20. By controlling the execution end of the support drive assembly, the clamping part 20 and the suction cup part 30 can be moved, thereby transporting the target toolbox or target spare tire from the initial position to the target position.

[0036] In this embodiment, the support part 10 consists of a support arm 101 and a support drive assembly. One end of the support arm 101 is connected to the mounting base, providing stable mounting support for the entire fixture and ensuring uniform stress distribution. The support drive assembly is fixed to the support arm 101, and its execution end is connected to the clamping part 20. During operation, it can synchronously drive the clamping part 20 and the suction cup part 30 to move as a whole, stably completing the transfer operation of the target toolbox and the target spare tire. This transmission structure has a simple layout, short transmission path, and good motion synchronization, effectively ensuring smooth workpiece handling and avoiding workpiece offset and collision. Based on this structure, the fixture does not require additional transfer equipment, realizing the clamping and handling processes in one integrated manner, simplifying the production line structure and reducing equipment investment. At the same time, the mechanized drive method replaces manual handling, significantly reducing the labor intensity of operators, meeting ergonomic requirements, improving operational safety and assembly efficiency, and further enhancing the fixture's adaptability and operational reliability for two different types of workpieces.

[0037] In this embodiment, the support drive assembly includes: a first drive cylinder 102, which is spaced apart from the clamping part 20, and the fixed end of the first drive cylinder 102 is connected to the support arm 101; a support linkage rod 104, one end of which is hinged to the actuating end of the first drive cylinder 102, and the support linkage rod 104 is spaced apart from the support arm 101; and a drive shaft 103, which is movably connected to the support arm 101, one end of which is connected to the actuating end of the first drive cylinder 102, and the other end of which is connected to the clamping part 20. Controlling the actuating end of the first drive cylinder 102 allows the actuating end of the first drive cylinder 102 to drive the drive shaft 103 to rotate via the support linkage rod 104, thereby moving the clamping part 20 and the suction cup part 30.

[0038] In this embodiment, the support drive assembly includes a first drive cylinder 102, a drive shaft 103, and a support linkage rod 104. The first drive cylinder 102 is fixed to the support arm 101, and the overall layout is compact and does not interfere with each other. The first drive cylinder 102 serves as a power source, forming a linkage transmission structure with the support linkage rod 104. It can smoothly drive the drive shaft 103 to rotate, thereby driving the clamping part 20 and the suction cup part 30 to complete the displacement action synchronously. This combined transmission structure has stable transmission and smooth action response, and can accurately control the workpiece transfer posture, effectively preventing problems such as shaking and collision between the target toolbox and the target spare tire. The overall mechanical structure is simple and reliable, the parts are easy to assemble and maintain, the cylinder drive mode has sufficient power, and can operate stably for a long time. The entire transmission mechanism is integrated inside the support part 10, eliminating the need for additional transmission components, reducing equipment space occupation, further reducing production costs, and at the same time, the fully mechanized operation effectively improves assembly accuracy, work efficiency, and on-site operation safety.

[0039] In this embodiment, the clamping part 20 includes: a fixed limiting frame 201, which is connected to one end of the drive shaft 103; a first clamping rod 208, which is located on one side of the fixed limiting frame 201 and one end of the first clamping rod 208 is connected to the fixed limiting frame 201; and a clamping limiting component, which is connected to the fixed limiting frame 201 and is spaced apart from the first clamping rod 208. Part of the clamping limiting component moves relative to the fixed limiting frame 201 so that the clamping limiting component has a gripping position and a release position. The fixed limiting frame 201, the first clamping rod 208, and the clamping limiting component form a clamping space. When the clamping limiting component is in the gripping position, the first clamping rod 208 abuts against the target toolbox or the target spare tire.

[0040] The clamping part 20 in this embodiment consists of a fixed limiting frame 201, a first clamping rod 208, and a clamping limiting assembly. The fixed limiting frame 201 is connected to the drive shaft 103, receiving power and ensuring the stability of the overall structure. The first clamping rod 208 and the clamping limiting assembly cooperate to form a clamping space within the fixed limiting frame 201, which can accommodate the target toolbox and the target spare tire. The clamping limiting assembly can move flexibly relative to the fixed limiting frame 201, switching between the gripping position and the release position. During operation, the first clamping rod 208 can closely abut against the workpiece, ensuring reliable clamping and positioning, and preventing loosening or displacement. This structure has a reasonable layout, combining limiting and clamping functions, and is highly adaptable to workpieces of different shapes, with precise and smooth action switching. The overall component assembly is simple, with a low failure rate, facilitating daily inspection and maintenance. The mechanized clamping method replaces manual operation, reducing labor intensity and effectively improving the accuracy, stability, and overall efficiency of workpiece assembly.

[0041] Furthermore, the clamping and limiting assembly includes: a clamping and limiting bracket 203, which is slidably connected to a fixed limiting frame 201, and is disposed on the same side as a first clamping rod 208; a second clamping rod 204, one end of which is connected to the clamping and limiting bracket 203, and is disposed on the same side as the first clamping rod 208; and a second driving cylinder 202, the fixed end of which is connected to the fixed limiting frame 201. A frame 201 is connected, and the actuating end of the second driving cylinder 202 is connected to the clamping and limiting bracket 203. The second driving cylinder 202 extends along the length of the fixed limiting frame 201. Controlling the actuating end of the second driving cylinder 202 can cause the clamping and limiting bracket 203 to move the second clamping rod 204 along the length of the fixed limiting frame 201, so as to move the second clamping rod 204 closer to or away from the first clamping rod 208. The clamping and limiting bracket 203 is equipped with a first limiting roller 50, and two second limiting rollers 60 are installed on one end of the fixed limiting frame 201.

[0042] The clamping and limiting assembly in this embodiment consists of a second drive cylinder 202, a clamping and limiting bracket 203, and a second clamping rod 204. The second drive cylinder 202 is arranged along the length of the fixed limiting bracket 201, with a neat structural layout. The second drive cylinder 202 can drive the clamping and limiting bracket 203 to slide along the fixed limiting bracket 201, thereby causing the second clamping rod 204 to move closer to or away from the first clamping rod 208, smoothly completing the workpiece clamping and releasing actions. The sliding cooperation structure operates smoothly and with precise positioning, providing uniform and stable clamping force, which can firmly clamp the target toolbox and the target spare tire, effectively preventing workpiece slippage and misalignment. The cylinder drive method has a rapid response and strong action continuity, enabling quick switching between the gripping and releasing positions, greatly improving the work rhythm. This assembly has a high degree of integration, good compatibility with the rest of the clamping part 20, and a durable and reliable overall mechanical structure. It is convenient for inspection and maintenance, further optimizing the clamping performance and stability of the fixture, reducing the burden of manual operation, and improving the quality and efficiency of assembly operations.

[0043] In this embodiment, the suction cup part 30 further includes: a third driving cylinder 301, the fixed end of the third driving cylinder 301 is connected to the fixed limiting frame 201, the actuating end of the second driving cylinder 202 is movably connected to the suction cup structure, the suction cup structure is connected to the fixed limiting frame 201, and part of the suction cup structure can move relative to the fixed limiting frame 201; wherein, controlling the actuating end of the second driving cylinder 202 can make part of the suction cup structure be in the working position or the avoidance position.

[0044] In this embodiment, the suction cup unit 30 is equipped with a third drive cylinder 301, which is fixedly mounted on the fixed limit frame 201. This cylinder can drive the suction cup structure to move flexibly relative to the fixed limit frame 201, enabling switching between the working position and the avoidance position. When assembling the target toolbox, the suction cup structure switches to the working position, working in conjunction with the clamping unit 20 to assist in adsorbing and fixing the workpiece, improving clamping stability and preventing the workpiece from sliding or bumping. When assembling the target spare tire, the suction cup structure switches to the avoidance position to prevent interference between structures and ensure smooth operation. This drive structure has a compact layout and works seamlessly with the components of the clamping unit 20, with sensitive and precise action switching. The overall structure is simple and durable, requiring no additional control mechanism, further enhancing the fixture's universal adaptability to two types of workpieces, continuously reducing manual operation intensity, and effectively improving the safety, adaptability, and overall efficiency of assembly operations.

[0045] In this embodiment, the suction cup structure includes: a first suction cup support frame 304, which is movably connected to a fixed limiting frame 201; a first suction cup 305, which is spaced apart from the fixed limiting frame 201, with one end of the first suction cup 305 connected to one end of the first suction cup support frame 304; a second suction cup support frame 303, which is movably connected to the fixed limiting frame 201, and the second suction cup support frame 303 and the first suction cup support frame 304 are spaced apart along the length direction of the fixed limiting frame 201; and a second suction cup 306, which is spaced apart from the fixed limiting frame 201, with one end of the second suction cup 306... One end is connected to one end of the second suction cup support frame 303; the suction cup connecting rod 302, one end of which is movably connected to one end of the first suction cup support frame 304, and the other end of which is movably connected to one end of the second suction cup support frame 303, and the suction cup connecting rod 302 is movably connected to the actuating end of the third drive cylinder 301; wherein, by controlling the actuating end of the third drive cylinder 301, the suction cup connecting rod 302 can drive the first suction cup support frame 304 and the second suction cup support frame 303 to move respectively, so as to drive the first suction cup 305 to move and the second suction cup support frame 303 to move the second suction cup 306.

[0046] The suction cup structure in this embodiment consists of a suction cup connecting rod 302, a second suction cup support frame 303, a first suction cup support frame 304, a first suction cup 305, and a second suction cup 306. Each component is movably mounted on a fixed limiting frame 201, with a neat layout and movements that do not interfere with each other. The third drive cylinder 301 synchronously pulls the first suction cup support frame 304 and the second suction cup support frame 303 to move via the suction cup connecting rod 302, thereby driving the first suction cup 305 and the second suction cup 306 to switch positions. The two sets of suction cups work together in a coordinated manner, providing uniform suction force. When assembling toolboxes, this provides stable suction force, assisting the clamping part 20 in fixing the workpiece and preventing displacement or collisions. When assembling tires, the entire assembly is retracted to a clearance position, ensuring smooth operation. The linkage structure has good transmission synchronization, precise and smooth movements, a simple and durable mechanical structure, and is easy to maintain. This design further improves the adaptability and clamping reliability of the fixture, reduces manual labor load through fully mechanized operation, and effectively improves assembly accuracy, work efficiency, and on-site safety.

[0047] Furthermore, the first suction cup 305 and the second suction cup 306 are configured with the same structure, and the second suction cup support frame 303 and the first suction cup support frame 304 are configured with the same structure.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first suction cup 305 and the second suction cup 306 are arranged with the same structure, and the second suction cup support frame 303 and the first suction cup support frame 304 also have the same structure. The unified design of components not only reduces the costs of component processing, procurement and warehousing, but also facilitates the later maintenance and replacement of accessories of the equipment. The two groups of suction cups and the corresponding support frames have consistent motion performance and bearing capacity. When operating in联动 mode, the force is balanced and the actions are synchronized, further enhancing the stability of adsorption and fixation. At the same time, the assembly and debugging process is simplified, making the overall operation of the fixture more reliable and effectively ensuring the quality of the assembly operation.

[0049] In this embodiment, the multifunctional vehicle spare equipment fixture further includes: a limit block 70. The limit block 70 is located within the clamping space. The limit block 70 is connected to the fixed limit frame 201, and the limit block 70 is located between the clamping limit component and the first clamping rod 208.

[0050] In this embodiment, a limit block 70 is added. The limit block 70 is installed on the fixed limit frame 201 and is inside the clamping space, and is arranged between the clamping limit component and the first clamping rod 208. The limit block 70 can play a role in positioning and blocking the target toolbox and the target spare tire placed in the clamping space, restricting the position offset of the workpiece, making the clamping posture of the workpiece more regular, and effectively improving the alignment and assembly accuracy. At the same time, this structure can share the force of the clamping components, slow down the impact and wear between the workpiece and the clamping components, and extend the service life of each component. The overall structure of the limit block 70 is simple, and its layout is coordinated with the surrounding components, and it will not interfere with the reciprocating motion of the clamping limit component, further enhancing the stability and reliability of the fixture clamping operation and optimizing the overall assembly effect.

[0051] For the sake of convenience of description, spatial relative terms such as "above...", "over...", "on the upper surface of...", "above" and the like can be used here to describe the spatial position relationship between one device or feature and other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that the spatial relative terms are intended to include different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures of the device. For example, if the device in the figure is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "over other devices or structures" will then be positioned "below other devices or structures" or "under other devices or structures". Thus, the exemplary term "above..." can include both the orientation of "above..." and "below...". The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and corresponding interpretations should be made for the spatial relative descriptions used here.

[0052] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," and "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application.
