Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts production, and more specifically to a positioning structure of an automobile parts inspection fixture. Background Art

[0002] On the automobile interior parts, fixed buckles and elastic buckles are generally provided, and the elastic buckles are generally provided on the fixed buckles. The parts are fixed on the automobile mainly by the fixed buckle profile and the elastic buckle tension force, which are tightly connected with the parts (joint groove) provided on the automobile.

[0003] At present, in the production process of automobile interior parts, it is necessary to use a fixture to position the parts for maintenance and other operations. The fixture is generally provided with a coupling groove that is compatible with the fixed clip and the elastic clip. After the mutual combination, the parts can be fixed on the fixture.

[0004] Since the size of the coupling groove adapted to the elastic buckle cannot be changed, after coupling with the elastic buckle (clamping the elastic buckle), if the part needs to be removed, the part needs to be pulled vigorously. In the process of the elastic buckle being removed from the coupling groove, it is easy to be damaged due to the strong force;

[0005] Furthermore, if the buckle needs to be replaced or the part needs to be verified in the absence of an elastic buckle, and the connection of the part is only stable through the interaction between the fixed buckle and the coupling groove, additional tools are required to remove the elastic buckle and then connect the fixed buckle to the matching coupling groove before replacement or verification can be performed. The operation process is relatively cumbersome and the user experience is poor. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of the shortcomings and defects of the prior art, a positioning structure for an automobile part inspection fixture is provided, which has stable and reliable clamping, does not cause damage to the elastic buckle, and can remove the elastic buckle.

[0007] An automobile parts inspection fixture positioning structure, comprising:

[0008] A tooling frame, wherein a clamping mechanism is arranged on the tooling frame, wherein the clamping mechanism comprises a base, wherein two opposing clamping jaws are hinged on the base, and the two clamping jaws can be extended or retracted, and the two clamping jaws are retracted to form a clamping space between the clamping jaws, wherein the elastic buckle of the part enters the clamping space, and the inner wall surface of the clamping space is pressed against the buckle point surface of the elastic buckle to clamp the elastic buckle;

[0009] The base is also provided with a positioning space, into which a fixing buckle of a part enters and forms a fit with the fixing buckle.

[0010] After adopting the above structure, the automobile parts inspection fixture positioning structure of the utility model has the following advantages compared with the prior art: when clamping, the two clamping claws are unfolded to open the clamping space, and the parts are aligned with the assembly position, that is, the elastic buckle of the parts is aligned and inserted into the clamping space, and the fixed buckle of the parts is aligned and inserted into the positioning space. At this time, the two clamping claws are retracted, and the inner wall surface of the clamping space is pressed against the buckle point surface of the elastic buckle to clamp the elastic buckle, and the positioning space is matched with the fixed buckle;

[0011] The above-mentioned clamping action and the fitting action are combined to position the parts, and the parts are firmly and reliably positioned, so that maintenance and other operations can be carried out. Of course, when the clamping space does not clamp the elastic buckle, the fitting action of the positioning space and the fixed buckle after fitting can also make the parts firmly and reliably positioned;

[0015] The connecting piece moves backward, tightens the drawstring, and drives the clamping jaws to expand relative to each other, thereby increasing the clamping space to release the elastic buckle;

[0016] A pre-tightening member is connected between the clamping jaws and the base, and when the clamping jaws are relatively expanded, the pre-tightening member applies a closing pre-tightening force to the clamping jaws;

[0017] The connecting piece moves forward, releasing the pull rope, and the pre-tightening piece drives the clamping jaws to move relatively together, so that the clamping space is reset.

[0018] As an improvement of the utility model, the tail end of the clamping jaw is hinged to the base, one end of the pull rope is connected to the middle position of the clamping jaw, and the other end of the pull rope is connected to the connecting piece.

[0019] As an improvement of the utility model, the driving unit further includes a base and a sliding rod, the sliding rod is passed through the base, the front end of the sliding rod is connected to the connecting piece, and the driving unit further includes a driving component for driving the sliding rod to move forward and backward.

[0020] As an improvement of the utility model, the driving assembly includes a guide sleeve and a handle, the guide sleeve is fixed on the base, and the front end of the slide rod passes through the inner hole of the guide sleeve;

[0021] The handle has a first hinge point and a second hinge point, the first hinge point and the second hinge point are arranged on the same straight line and are arranged at intervals, wherein the first hinge point is hinged to a connecting piece through a pin shaft, the other end of the connecting piece is hinged to the guide sleeve, and the second hinge point is hinged to the tail end of the slide rod through the pin shaft, and the handle is rotated until the second hinge point is horizontal with the first hinge point to drive the slide rod to move backward;

[0022] The handle is rotated until the second hinge point is vertical to the first hinge point to drive the slide bar to move forward.

[0023] As an improvement of the utility model, the two clamping jaws are respectively provided with inwardly extending extension portions at the front part of the clamping space, and the two extension portions form a constricted shape at the front part of the clamping space. The buckle point of the elastic clip passes through the space between the extension portions and enters into the clamping space, and the inner end of the extension portion serves as the inner wall surface of the clamping space and is tightly pressed against the buckle point surface of the elastic clip.

[0034] The utility model is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] See also Figure 1-7 As shown, an automobile parts inspection fixture positioning structure includes:

[0036] A fixture frame 1 is provided with a clamping mechanism, the clamping mechanism comprising a base 2, two opposing clamping jaws 3 are hinged on the base 2, the two clamping jaws 3 can be extended or retracted, the two clamping jaws 3 are retracted to form a clamping space 3.1 between the clamping jaws 3, the clamping space 3.1 is for an elastic buckle 4.1 of a part 4 to enter, the inner wall surface of the clamping space 3.1 is pressed against the buckle point surface of the elastic buckle 4.1 to clamp the elastic buckle 4.1;

[0037] The base 2 is also provided with a positioning space 2.1, into which the fixing buckle 4.2 of the part 4 enters and forms a fit with the fixing buckle 4.2.

[0038] When clamping, the two clamping jaws 3 are unfolded to open the clamping space 3.1, and the part 4 is aligned with the assembly position, that is, the elastic buckle 4.1 of the part 4 is aligned and inserted into the clamping space 3.1, and the fixed buckle 4.2 of the part 4 is aligned and inserted into the positioning space 2.1. At this time, the two clamping jaws 3 are retracted, and the inner wall surface of the clamping space 3.1 is pressed against the buckle point surface of the elastic buckle 4.1 to clamp the elastic buckle 4.1, and the positioning space 2.1 is matched with the fixed buckle 4.2;

[0039] The above-mentioned clamping action and the fitting action are combined to position the part 4, and the position of the part 4 is stable and reliable, and maintenance and other operations can be carried out. Of course, when the clamping space 3.1 does not clamp the elastic buckle 4.1, the fitting action of the positioning space 2.1 and the fixed buckle 4.2 after fitting can also make the position of the part 4 stable and reliable;

[0040] If it is necessary to remove part 4, first unfold the two jaws 3.

Compared with the traditional clamp with a snap-fit ​​groove structure (the clamping space 3.1 is fixed) that adapts to the elastic buckle 4.1, the clamping space 3.1 of the present application has a variable-size structure. When removing part 4, the jaws 3 unfold to increase the clamping space 3.1 and then release the elastic buckle 4.1. The elastic buckle 4.1 picks up the clamping effect of the jaws 3, and there is no need to take out the part 4 with force to cause damage to the elastic buckle 4.1.

[0041] Of course, if it is necessary to remove the elastic buckle 4.1 from the fixed buckle 4.2, when removing the part 4, the position of the clamping claw 3 is maintained in the position of clamping the elastic buckle 4.1.
