Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobile parts, in particular to a fixing tool for a sand vibrating process of a rear auxiliary frame. Background Art

[0002] New energy is the main trend of transformation and upgrading of the global automobile industry and green development. Lightweight chassis is an inevitable choice for energy conservation and emission reduction. Due to the expansion of our company's business, the high-end customers we have contacted have extremely high requirements for product appearance and quality. The present invention, through design (fixed equipment for the vibration process of aluminum castings of the rear subframe), combined with the force balance analysis and evaluation of the product, finds the auxiliary fulcrum of the product, and uses a lever cylinder to fix it, so as to realize the binding linkage with the vibration equipment. When the employee starts the vibration equipment, the product can be automatically fixed on the vibration equipment, the sand cleaning limit point can be found, and then the telescopic movement of the hammer head and the rubber shock absorber at the corresponding position are used to remove the sand blocks in the product cavity. The sand cleaning tooling is used to ensure the appearance and inner cavity quality of the hollow product, effectively reducing the difficulty and intensity of the workers' work, ensuring the quality, and achieving the purpose of improving efficiency.

[0003] At present, with the development of lightweight automobiles, the steel rear subframe, which accounts for a relatively large proportion of the weight of chassis structural parts, has been gradually replaced by aluminum alloy materials with advantages such as light weight, stronger corrosion resistance, and integrated molding. This product is both a structural part and an appearance part. While ensuring the internal quality of the product, the appearance quality of the product must also be ensured. The control arm with this complex hollow structure is particularly difficult to remove the sand core. It is necessary to ensure that the sand blocks in the product cavity are cleaned up, and the appearance of the product must not be bumped during the sand removal process. Only by solving the sand removal problem can we ensure that the product can meet customer requirements and be delivered on time.

[0004] Combined with the product structure characteristics, processing technology, and matching characteristics of other parts of the rear subframe, through analysis and demonstration, the transition from manual sand cleaning to automatic sand vibration is realized. With the trend of automation upgrading in the manufacturing industry, manufacturing and management costs are reduced, production efficiency and quality are improved, production delivery time is ensured, and corporate competitiveness is enhanced.

[0005] At present, there is no recognized and effective process in the industry that can clean the sand of the complex hollow structure control arm of aluminum alloy and ensure the appearance quality. Some methods use high-temperature heating to clean the sand, while others use manual tapping to clean the sand. None of them can take into account the quality of both cleaning and appearance. The company has a large number of orders for integral rear subframes, with a wide variety of types and models. The product weighs dozens of kilograms, and the products need to be frequently moved up and down the equipment by manual labor, and are simply fixed, which cannot meet the production and product quality requirements.

[0038] As shown in the figure, the utility model comprises a bottom plate 1 mounted on the shaking device, and a pair of fixed components distributed in a mirror image are arranged on the bottom plate 1.

[0039] The fixing assembly includes a first positioning block 2, a second positioning block 5, a first support column 6, an airbag cylinder assembly and a second support column 14.

[0040] The first positioning block 2, the second positioning block 5, the first supporting column 6 and the second supporting column 14 are respectively arranged on the bottom plate 1.

[0041] The end of the first positioning block 2 is provided with a protrusion, which forms a limit area for the pouring and rising opening of the rear subframe.

[0042] The end of the second positioning block 5 is provided with a protrusion, and forms a limiting area of ​​the rear sub-frame pouring riser. The contact surface of the protrusion with the rear sub-frame pouring riser is a contoured surface.

[0044] The airbag cylinder assemblies of the pair of fixing assemblies are mounted on the bottom plate 1 and are used to press the rear subframe on the rear subframe placement area.

[0045] Place the bottom plate 1 on the power output end of the vibrator, place the rear subframe pouring riser on the first positioning block 2, the second positioning block 5, the first support column 6 and the second support column 14 (i.e., the rear subframe placement area) respectively, start the airbag cylinder assembly of a pair of fixing assemblies to press the rear subframe on the rear subframe placement area, and then start the hammering device, which hammers the workpiece on the vibrator, and the vibrator starts to vibrate, thereby starting the sand vibration process.
