Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile parts manufacturing, in particular to a sub-frame bushing press-fitting tool. Background Art

[0002] For the subframe bushing press-fitting process, currently, separate press-fitting is mostly used, that is, the subframe is used for positioning, and the clamping cylinder and positioning pins are used to ensure that the subframe is fixed on the fixture. On the other side, the bushing is pre-installed on the press equipment, and the press automatically aligns the bushing tube position according to the set program, and then the electric cylinder is started for press-fitting. The subframe and bushing are pre-installed on two sets of fixtures, namely the bushing positioning fixture and the bushing tube positioning fixture, and the positioning and press-fitting functions are completed by program settings.

[0003] In the prior art, the bushing positioning tool and the bushing tube positioning tool are used to position and press the bushing and the bushing tube respectively. The pressing process requires extremely high positioning accuracy of the two sets of tooling. The subframe needs to be completely fixed and firm, and there must be no deviation in the pre-installation of the bushing, which places extremely high requirements on the operating stability of the equipment.

[0004] When the locating pins are loose or worn, or the subframe locating holes are greatly affected by welding and deformed, the bushing press-fitting often results in unqualified conditions such as scraping and flanging.

[0005] The edge scraping of the press-fit bushing causes the pin to jam, which in turn affects the tooling accuracy, leading to a repetitive vicious cycle, greatly consuming manpower and material resources and causing low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The utility model provides a press-fitting tool for a subframe bushing, adjusts the press-fitting process, combines a bushing positioning tool with a bushing tube positioning tool, optimizes and changes the tool structure, positions the bushing tube of the subframe, and simultaneously pre-assembles and integrates the bushing into the same tooling table, thereby realizing an integrated press-fitting process and improving the production rhythm. The bushing edge scraping phenomenon will not occur during the press-fitting process, the bushing qualification rate is close to 100%, and the product quality is improved.

[0007] A subframe bushing press-fitting tool is used for press-fitting the bushing of the subframe, comprising a workbench base, a bearing, a guide sleeve, a guide column and a spring; the workbench base, the bearing and the guide sleeve are connected end to end from bottom to top, the two ends of the bearing are respectively connected to the upper part of the workbench base and the lower part of the guide sleeve, the base of the bearing is connected to the workbench base, and the shaft ring cooperates with the guide sleeve, so as to play a compensatory role when there is a slight misalignment in the up and down stroke of the press, and the self-lubricating effect of the bearing is better.

[0008] The lower part of the guide column is axially movable and arranged in the guide sleeve, the upper part of the guide column passes through the guide sleeve and extends upward, the spring is arranged between the guide sleeve and the guide column, the guide column can be extended and retracted up and down along the axis of the guide sleeve, and the spring is lifted up in a natural state.

[0009] The guide column is constructed in a step shape and is sequentially constructed as a bushing pre-installation position and a bushing tube installation position from top to bottom. The bushing pre-installation position is used to position the bushing, and the bushing tube installation position is used to position the bushing tube. When the bushing tube is placed, the bushing tube is positioned into the lower step of the guide column, and the bushing is pre-installed on the upper step. The utility model abandons the original bushing positioning tooling on the existing press, combines the bushing positioning tooling with the bushing tube positioning tooling into one, directly uses the bushing tube for positioning, abandons the original clamping mechanism, and the improved tooling does not need to be clamped.

[0010] Preferably, the utility model further comprises a pressing block, which is in the shape of a circular ring, the inner side of which abuts against the protrusion below the guide column and the outer side is fixedly connected to the upper end surface of the guide sleeve. The pressing block is used to abut against the edge of the annular protrusion below the guide column, thereby limiting the position of the guide column and ensuring that the press-fitting process works reliably and stably.

[0011] Preferably, the utility model also includes a shock-absorbing column, which is arranged between the workbench base and the guide sleeve, and the shock-absorbing column is circumferentially arranged on the outside of the bearing; the bearing is an angular contact thrust spherical bearing, the base of the bearing is connected to the workbench base, the shaft ring is matched with the guide sleeve, and the function of the spherical bearing is to compensate when there is a slight misalignment in the up and down stroke of the press, and the bearing has a good self-lubricating effect. The shock-absorbing column is a VD type shock-absorbing column, and the guide sleeve, the spherical thrust bearing and the shock-absorbing column jointly play the role of axial fixation and radial floating.

[0012] Preferably, the utility model also includes a lifting ring arranged on the workbench base, and the lifting ring is provided in two numbers and is arranged on the edge of the workbench base to facilitate lifting and replacement. When it is necessary to replace different types of subframe bushing pressing tooling, the lifting ring can be used for integral lifting, and the model change is convenient, and the model change only requires replacing the integrated tooling table.

[0013] Preferably, the workbench base is in the shape of a long strip, and the number of the guide sleeves is two and they are respectively arranged at the two end edges of the workbench base in the length direction. The workbench base is a whole long thick plate to ensure that the left and right sides of the press are subjected to synchronous force when the press is working. The workbench base has a compact structure and the length of the workbench base is minimized. According to the product structure of the sub-frame, two left and right guide tooling seats are designed and fixed on the tooling base. One sub-frame bushing press tooling can simultaneously meet the installation of two bushings.

[0014] Specifically, in the utility model, the bushing pre-installation position and the bushing tube installation position are both constructed as cylindrical outer surfaces, the outer diameter of the bushing pre-installation position is smaller than the outer diameter of the bushing tube installation position, the structure is simple, and it is easy to cooperate with the subframe bushing and bushing tube.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] The original bushing positioning tool on the press is abandoned, and the bushing positioning tool and the bushing tube positioning tool are combined into one, which makes it easy to position the workpiece and does not require a clamping cylinder to clamp it.

[0017] The process flow is simplified. The operator does not need to accurately position the workpiece. He only needs to insert the subframe bushing tube into the tooling and then place the bushing on the upper part of the guide column. The internal operation is simplified, and the production cycle is increased from 35JPH to 50JPH, which improves efficiency. After the overall improvement, the cycle and quality effects are significant.

[0018] Due to the use of integrated tooling, the bushing and bushing tube have pre-installed guides during the press-fitting process. The tooling has its own guide. The bushing is pre-installed and the diameter contacts the bushing tube. There will be no edge scrapping after press-fitting. The bushing qualification rate is close to 100%, and the product quality is improved. At the same time, it reduces material scrapping, saves costs, and saves manpower and material consumption.

[0019] Because it adopts integrated tooling and lifting rings, it is easy to change the model. To change the model, you only need to replace the integrated tooling table. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
