Detailed Implementation

[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to more clearly understand this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0022] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an automotive engine mount cutting and clamping device according to one or more embodiments of this application is shown. (In conjunction with...) Figure 1 The present application provides a cutting and clamping device for an automotive engine mount bracket, used to assist in cutting off the riser portion of the bracket. It includes a support frame 100 and a positioning mechanism 200. The support frame 100 is provided with an upward-facing receiving groove 110. At least one positioning mechanism 200 is provided along a first direction X. The positioning mechanism 200 is disposed in the receiving groove 110. At least a portion of the mount bracket is placed in the receiving groove 110 and clamped by the positioning mechanism 200, thereby fixing the mount bracket in the receiving groove 110 of the support frame 100. The riser portion of the mount bracket is located outside the support frame 100, and the riser can then be cut using a blade on a CNC cutting machine.

[0023] Figure 2 It shows Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the positioning mechanism in the diagram. Figure 3 It shows Figure 2 Internal structure diagram, combined with Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 The positioning mechanism 200 includes a first frame 210, a second frame 220, and a clamping assembly 230. The first frame 210 is connected to the support frame 100. The second frame 220 extends along the second direction Y. One end of the second frame 220 is located inside the first frame 210, and the other end of the second frame 220 can protrude from the first frame 210. The second frame 220 can reciprocate relative to the first frame 210 along the vertical direction Z, that is, the height of the second frame 220 is adjustable. The clamping assembly 230 can slide on the second frame 220 along the second direction Y. The clamping assembly 230 includes a third frame 231 and a clamping part 230a. The third frame 231 protrudes from the other end of the second frame 220 to press the suspension bracket. The clamping part 230a can rotate relative to the third frame 231 to clamp the suspension bracket. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the vertical direction Z are perpendicular to each other.

[0024] Before placing the suspension bracket into the receiving slot 110, the height of the second frame 220 is adjusted according to the height of the suspension bracket (vertical Z dimension), and then the height of the clamping assembly 230 is adjusted. The length of the clamping assembly 230 protruding from the second frame 220 is then adjusted according to the thickness of the suspension bracket (second direction Y dimension) to adapt the clamping assembly 230 to the height and thickness of the suspension bracket. Subsequently, the clamping part is controlled to rotate relative to the third frame 231, so that the clamping part rotates to be flush with or above the third frame 231. The suspension bracket can be placed at the bottom of the third frame 231 through the outer side of the other end of the third frame 231, so that the suspension bracket is pressed by the third frame 231, and one side of the suspension bracket in the thickness direction is limited by the first frame 210. Then, the holding part is controlled to rotate in the opposite direction relative to the third frame 231, so that the clamping part rotates to the bottom of the third frame 231 to clamp the other side of the suspension bracket in the thickness direction, thereby fixing the suspension bracket in the receiving groove 110 of the support frame 100, and then the riser can be cut by the blade on the CNC cutting machine.

[0025] Therefore, the automotive engine mount cutting and clamping device provided in this application can adapt to the processing of mounts of different specifications (height, thickness) on the premise of basic fixing of the engine mount, and is simple to operate and improves overall efficiency.

[0026] Figure 4 A structural schematic diagram of the support frame is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 4 For ease of description, the first direction X is defined as the length direction of the support frame 100, that is, the left-right direction shown in the figure, and the second direction Y is the thickness direction of the support frame 100, that is, the front-back direction shown in the figure. The specific details of the device will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] join Figure 4 In some embodiments, the support frame 100 is generally a box-shaped structure, with its bottom supported by multiple legs 120, so that the support frame 100 has a certain height, which facilitates the placement and removal of the suspension bracket.

[0028] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, two positioning mechanisms 200 are spaced apart along the first direction X, so that the two positioning mechanisms 200 act simultaneously on a single suspension bracket, thereby improving the stability of the suspension bracket during processing. In other embodiments, there may be only one, three, or four positioning mechanisms 200, which can be set according to the width of the rotating bracket to accommodate the processing of rotating brackets of different widths.

[0029] Combination Figure 3In some embodiments, at least part of the interior of the first frame 210 of the positioning mechanism 200 is hollow, and the front side of the first frame 210 is open. The other end of the second frame 220 protrudes from the first frame 210 through the front opening of the first frame 210. One end of the third frame 231 of the clamping assembly 230 is located on the second frame 220, and the other end protrudes from the other end of the second frame 220 to press the suspension bracket placed in the receiving groove 110.

[0030] Combination Figure 3 In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 200 further includes a first push rod 240, which is connected to and located within the first frame 210. The telescopic end of the first push rod 240 reciprocates vertically in a Z-direction and upwards. The telescopic end of the first push rod 240 is connected to the bottom of the second frame 220. By controlling the movement of the telescopic end of the first push rod 240, the second frame 220 and the positioning components mounted on the second frame 220 can be driven to reciprocate, adapting to the clamping and positioning of suspension brackets at different heights.

[0031] Figure 5 A schematic diagram of the second frame is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 3 as well as Figure 5 In specific implementation, the first push rod 240 is an electric push rod with a fixed end at its bottom, connected to the bottom surface inside the first frame 210, and a telescopic end at its top. A connecting block 221 is connected to the bottom of the second frame 220, and the top of the first push rod 240 can be bolted to this connecting block 221 to achieve the connection between the first push rod 240 and the second frame 220. For example, two first push rods 240 are spaced apart along the second direction Y, so that the two first push rods 240 can stably push the second frame 220 and the clamping assembly 230 on the second frame 220 to rise or fall.

[0032] Figure 6 It shows Figure 3 A schematic diagram showing the structure after removing the clamping assembly. (Combined with...) Figure 5 as well as Figure 6In some embodiments, the vertical sidewall of the first frame 210 is provided with a first groove 211 extending vertically in the Z direction, and the sidewall of the second frame 220 is connected to a first slider 222, which slides within the first groove 211 along the vertical Z direction. During the process of pushing the second frame 220 and the clamping assembly 230 on the second frame 220 upwards or downwards using the first push rod 240, the first slider 222 simultaneously slides up and down within the first groove 211 to guide the upward or downward movement of the third frame 231. For example, one sidewall of the first frame 210 has two rows of first grooves 211, and correspondingly, the sidewall of the second frame 220 is also connected to two first sliders 222, which slide within the corresponding first grooves 211. In other embodiments, first grooves 211 may also be provided on both opposite sidewalls of the first frame 210, and correspondingly, both sides of the second frame 220 are also connected to first sliders 222. This application does not limit this.

[0033] Combination Figure 3 as well as Figure 6 In some embodiments, the positioning mechanism 200 further includes a second push rod 250, a drive frame 251, a drive column 252, and a second slider 253. The second push rod 250 is connected to the first frame 210 and located within the first frame 210. The telescopic end of the second push rod 250 reciprocates along the second direction Y toward the clamping portion. The drive frame 251 is movably disposed within the first frame 210 along the second direction Y and is connected to the telescopic end of the second push rod 250. The drive column 252 extends along the vertical direction Z and is connected to the second frame 220. The second slider 253 is connected to the side of the third frame 231 and is fitted with the drive column 252. By controlling the action of the second push rod 250, the drive frame 251 can be driven to reciprocate along the second direction Y, which in turn drives the drive column 252, the second slider 253 and the third frame 231 to reciprocate along the second direction Y. By adjusting the length of the third frame 231 protruding from the front side of the first frame 210, the extension length of the clamping assembly 230 along the second direction Y can be realized to adapt to the clamping of suspension brackets of different thicknesses.

[0034] Combination Figure 3 as well as Figure 6In specific implementation, the second push rod 250 is an electric push rod, with one end in the second direction Y being a fixed end connected to the inner side of the rear side of the first frame 210, and the other end in the second direction Y being a telescopic end. The size of the drive frame 251 is adapted to the internal height of the first frame 210. The drive column 252 is rotatably connected to the drive frame 251, and the second slider 253 is movably mounted on the drive column 252. In addition, a support plate 254 extending vertically Z is also provided inside the first frame 210. The fixed end of the second push rod 250 passes through the support plate 254 to support the assembly of the second push rod 250. For example, three second push rods 250 are arranged at intervals along the vertical Z direction, and the reciprocating movement of the third frame 231 along the second direction Y is realized by the three synchronously operating second push rods 250.

[0035] Figure 7 An assembly diagram of the clamping assembly and the second frame is shown. (Combined) Figure 7 In some embodiments, the second frame 220 is provided with a second slide groove 223 extending along the second direction Y, and the third frame 231 includes a third slider 232, which slides through the second slide groove 223 to provide guidance for the movement of the third frame 231 along the second direction Y and to ensure the movement direction of the third frame 231.

[0036] Figure 8 A schematic diagram of the clamping assembly is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 In some embodiments, the clamping assembly 230 includes a clamping block 233, a third push rod 234, a first connecting rod 235, a first elastic member 236, and a second connecting rod 237. The middle part of the clamping block 233 is rotatably connected to the other end of the third frame 231, and the clamping block 233 is configured as a clamping part. The third push rod 234 is connected to the top of the third frame 231, and the telescopic end of the third push rod 234 reciprocates along the second direction Y and toward the direction of the clamping block 233. One end of the first connecting rod 235 is connected to the telescopic end of the third push rod 234, and the other end is rotatably connected to the top of the clamping block 233. One end of the first elastic member 236 is connected to one end of the first connecting rod 235, and the other end of the first elastic member 236 is rotatably connected to one end of the second connecting rod 237 through an adapter 238. The other end of the second connecting rod 237 is rotatably connected to the top of the clamping block 233.

[0037] Figure 9 A schematic diagram of the state switching of the clamping component is shown, combined with Figure 8 as well as Figure 9Once the height and extension length of the clamping assembly 230 are adjusted to the correct position, the third push rod 234 is activated. The telescopic end of the third push rod 234 drives the first connecting rod 235 forward, which in turn pushes the clamping block 233 downward so that the clamping block 233 abuts against at least part of the front side of the suspension bracket, thereby clamping the suspension bracket. At the same time, the telescopic end of the third push rod 234 drives the second connecting rod 237 forward synchronously and compresses the third elastic element 4141. At this time, it is in a locked state, and the processing procedure of the rotating bracket can be performed. When it is necessary to remove the processed bracket, the third push rod 234 resets and retracts, driving the first connecting rod 235 and the second connecting rod 237 back to their initial positions, and driving the clamping block 233 upward to release the lock, so as to avoid interfering with the overall opening and closing action of the positioning mechanism 200 mentioned below, and to facilitate the removal of the suspension bracket.

[0038] Combination Figure 8 In specific implementation, the third frame 231 includes a U-shaped frame 239 located within the first frame 210. The opening of the U-shaped frame 239 faces the clamping block 233. The third push rod 234 is an electric push rod, and its fixed end is connected to the web of the U-shaped frame 239 so that the third push rod 234 can be assembled on the third frame 231 through the U-shaped frame 239.

[0039] Figure 10 A structural schematic diagram of the third frame 231 is shown. (Combined with...) Figure 10 In some embodiments, the U-shaped frame 239 of the third frame 231 is connected to the top of the third slider 232, and the bottom of the third slider 232 is provided with serrations to improve the friction between the third slider 232 and the top surface of the suspension bracket. The second slider 253 is connected to the side of the U-shaped frame 239.

[0040] In some embodiments, the first frame 210 is rotatably connected to the support frame 100, that is, the first frame 210 can open and close relative to the support frame 100 to facilitate the placement and removal of the suspension bracket from the receiving groove 110 within the support frame 100. Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 In specific implementation, the support frame 100 includes a first sidewall 130 and a second sidewall 140 arranged opposite to each other along the first direction X. The first sidewall 130 and the second sidewall 140 are located on both sides of the receiving groove 110. The device also includes a connecting column 150, which extends along the first direction X. The two ends of the connecting column 150 are respectively connected to the first sidewall 130 and the second sidewall 140. The first frame 210 is rotatably connected to the connecting column 150 to realize the rotatable connection between the first frame 210 and the support frame 100.

[0041] Combination Figure 2For example, two connecting plates 212 are connected to both sides of the first frame 210 in the first direction X. The two connecting plates 212 protrude from the bottom of the first frame 210 and are connected by a connecting sleeve 213. The connecting post 150 passes through the two connecting plates 212 and the connecting sleeve 213 so that the first frame 210 can rotate on the connecting post 150. Correspondingly, the first frame 210 rotates relative to the support frame 100, thereby allowing the positioning mechanism 200 on the first frame 210 to rotate and open relative to the support frame 100, so as to facilitate the placement and removal of the suspension bracket in the receiving groove 110 in the support frame 100.

[0042] Combination Figure 1 as well as Figure 4 In some embodiments, in order to enable the first frame 210 to open and close relative to the support frame 100, the first sidewall 130 and the second sidewall 140 of this application are provided with a third slide groove 160, the third slide groove 160 is inclined, and the device also includes a push assembly 300. Figure 11 A schematic diagram of the driving component is shown, combined with Figure 11 The pushing assembly 300 includes a pushing column 310, a fourth slider 320, and a fourth push rod 330. The pushing column 310 extends along a first direction X, and a first frame 210 passes through the middle of the pushing column 310. There are two fourth sliders 320, which are respectively connected to the two ends of the pushing column 310. The fourth sliders 320 slide through the third groove 160 at the same end. The fourth push rod 330 has a reciprocating telescopic end. The fourth push rod 330 is connected to the support frame 100, and the telescopic end of the fourth push rod 330 is connected to the fourth slider 320 to drive the fourth push rod 330 and the positioning mechanism 200 to reciprocate along the opening direction of the third groove 160. The movement of the second push rod 250 can change the position of the push column 310. Before fixing the suspension bracket, the operator first adjusts the vertical Z height of the clamping assembly 230 through the third push rod 234 to adapt it to the thickness of the bracket. At the same time, the horizontal extension distance of the clamping assembly 230 is controlled by the second push rod 250 to match the contour of the bracket or the required clamping point. Subsequently, the fourth push rod 330 of the push assembly 300 is activated, and the fourth push rod 330 drives the push column 310 to move, which in turn drives the first frame 210 to rotate around the connecting column 150 and move smoothly backward along the guide trajectory formed by the third slide groove 160 and the fourth slider 320. This realizes the opening and closing of the first frame 210 and the positioning mechanism 200 relative to the support frame 100, and realizes the rapid separation or reset of the positioning mechanism 200 from the bracket.

[0043] Combination Figure 2 For example, the first frame 210 is provided with a through hole 214, which extends along the first direction X and is located on the front side of the connecting sleeve 213. Figure 11The fourth push rod 330 is an electric push rod. There are two fourth push rods 330. The two fourth push rods 330 are respectively connected to the outside of the first side wall 130 and the second side wall 140 of the support frame 100. The fourth push rods 330 and the fourth sliders 320 are set in a one-to-one correspondence. The telescopic end of the fourth push block is connected to the corresponding fourth slider 320 through the transfer block 340. By controlling the two fourth push rods 330 to move synchronously, the first frame 210 can be pushed to rotate and open relative to the support frame 100.

[0044] Combination Figure 1 In some embodiments, two first frames 210 are spaced apart along the second direction Y. Each first frame 210 is threadedly connected to a connecting post 150, and the two ends of the connecting post 150 are rotatably connected to a first sidewall 130 and a second sidewall 140, respectively. The device also includes a motor 170, which is connected to a support frame 100, and one end of the motor 170 is drively connected to the connecting post 150. With this configuration, by controlling the start of the motor 170, the connecting post 150 is driven to rotate, which in turn drives the first frame 210 to rotate on the connecting post 150, thereby adjusting the position of the first frame 210 and the positioning mechanism 200 on the first frame 210 within the receiving groove 110, thus achieving the clamping of suspension brackets of different widths.

[0045] For example, the connecting post 150 has two threaded portions spaced apart, with the threads on the two threaded portions arranged in opposite directions. Each threaded portion is connected to a first frame 210. With this configuration, when the motor 170 is started, not only can the position of the two first frames 210 in the receiving groove 110 be adjusted, but the distance between the two first frames 210 can also be adjusted to further adapt to the clamping of suspension brackets of different widths.

[0046] Combination Figure 1 To facilitate cutting of the suspension bracket by operators, the device provided in this application also includes an auxiliary component 400 for reference positioning during processing. Specifically, the receiving groove 110 has an auxiliary opening 111 on the side facing the clamping end; the auxiliary component 400 is adapted to be disposed in the auxiliary opening 111, and the auxiliary component 400 includes a plurality of auxiliary parts 410 arranged along the first direction X, at least one of the auxiliary parts 410 being quickly detachable from the auxiliary opening 111. When the suspension bracket needs to be cut, at least one auxiliary part 410 opposite to the riser on the suspension bracket is removed, so that the cutter can enter from the space formed after the removed auxiliary part 410, and then cut the riser on the suspension bracket, so as to facilitate operators to quickly adjust the position of the cutter and improve the debugging efficiency.

[0047] Combination Figure 4 In some embodiments, the bottom of the auxiliary port 111 is provided with multiple rows of rails 112, and the rails 112 and the auxiliary component 410 are provided in a one-to-one correspondence; Figure 12 An exploded view of the auxiliary component is shown. Figure 13 A schematic diagram of the structure of the first plate is shown. Figure 14 A schematic diagram of the second plate is shown. (Combined with...) Figures 12-14 The auxiliary component 410 includes a first plate 411, a second plate 412, a second elastic element 413, and a locking assembly 414. The first plate 411 is U-shaped, and a insertion groove 4111 is provided at the bottom of the web of the first plate 411. The track 112 is inserted into the insertion groove 4111 of the corresponding auxiliary component 410. The first plate 411 has a first wing plate 4112 away from the positioning mechanism 200, and the first wing plate 4112 is provided with an insertion channel 4113 extending along the second direction Y. The second plate 412 is T-shaped, and the second plate 412 is disposed on top of the first plate 411 and inserted into the first plate 411. The second plate 412 has A protrusion 4121 is inserted into the first plate 411, and a locking groove 4122 is provided on the side of the protrusion 4121 facing the insertion channel 4113; a second elastic member 413 connects the protrusion 4121 and the web of the first plate 411; the locking assembly 414 includes a third elastic member 4141, a pressing ring 4142 and a first locking plate 4143, the pressing ring 4142 is connected to the outside of the first wing plate 4112 through the third elastic member 4141, one end of the first locking plate 4143 is connected to the pressing ring 4142, and the other end of the first locking plate 4143 passes through the insertion channel 4113 and can be inserted into the locking groove 4122. Before the worker fixes the suspension bracket, the suspension bracket is placed above the auxiliary component 400. When the suspension bracket is pressed down, the second plate 412 moves downward, so that the locking groove 4122 on the first plate 411 is aligned with the insertion channel 4113 on the second plate 412. Under the elastic force of the third elastic member 4141, the first locking plate 4143 is inserted into the locking groove 4122 through the insertion channel 4113, so that the first plate 411 and the second plate 412 are locked together. The first plate 411 cannot move upward, thus forming a clear height difference at the top of the auxiliary component 400, which is convenient for observation and alignment, thereby improving the overall work efficiency.

[0048] For example, combined Figures 12-14 The first wing plate 4112 has two rows of insertion channels 4113. Correspondingly, there are also two first locking plates 4143. The two first locking plates 4143 are respectively connected to the pressing ring 4142 and inserted into the corresponding insertion channels 4113.

[0049] Combination Figure 14In some embodiments, a second locking plate 4123 is provided at the bottom of the second plate 412, and the second locking plate 4123 is located on the side of the protrusion 4121 facing the positioning mechanism 200; a partition 180 is provided in the receiving groove, and a slot 181 corresponding to the auxiliary component 410 is provided on the partition 180, and the bottom of the second locking plate 4123 can be inserted into the corresponding slot 181. If an auxiliary component 410 affects the cutting path, before placing the suspension bracket, the first plate 411 of the auxiliary component 410 can be lifted upward to dislodge the second locking plate 4123 from the slot 181 at the top of the partition 180, and then the auxiliary component 410 can be pulled forward from the track 112 to remove the auxiliary component 410 and avoid interfering with the cutting operation.

[0050] The beneficial effects of the automotive engine mount cutting and clamping device provided in this application include at least the following: 1. The clamping component 230 of the positioning mechanism 200 of this application can move along the vertical Z and the second direction Y, thereby flexibly adjusting the clamping position and pressure according to the height and thickness of the suspension bracket to be cut, realizing adaptability to brackets of various specifications, and improving clamping efficiency and equipment versatility.

[0051] 2. By pushing component 300, this application can drive positioning mechanism 200 to rotate and open relative to support frame 100, so as to facilitate the placement and removal of suspension bracket in receiving groove 110 of support frame 100. Furthermore, by pushing component 300, the fourth push rod 330 can ensure that the rotation amplitude of positioning mechanism 200 remains consistent when repeatedly clamping suspension bracket of the same model, avoiding the cumulative error caused by manual adjustment and enhancing the clamping repeat positioning accuracy.

[0052] 3. By setting up auxiliary components 400, this application can lower some components when placing the suspension bracket, providing operators with a clear positioning reference and shortening the alignment time; when cutting the bracket, the corresponding auxiliary components 400 can be removed separately to avoid interference with the cutting path and improve the overall work efficiency.
