Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of water flow channel processing and positioning, and in particular to a water flow channel anti-misalignment positioning device. Background Art

[0002] As an automotive component, a gutter is usually a drainage channel designed on the body or doors of a vehicle, which is used to effectively guide rainwater or water used to wash the vehicle to drain out from a specific outlet, avoiding water accumulation on the surface or inside of the vehicle body, and reducing the risk of corrosion and rust. In addition, on rainy days or slippery roads, an effective gutter design can reduce water droplets on windows and rearview mirrors, improve the driver's line of sight, and thus enhance driving safety.

[0003] In the prior art, during the assembly of a vehicle body, the water trough usually needs to be connected to a connecting ear plate first, and then connected to other parts of the vehicle through the connecting ear plate to achieve the assembly of the vehicle body.

[0004] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The water trough 01 and the connecting ear plate 02 are both arranged in irregular shapes, and the water trough 01 and the connecting ear plate 02 are penetrated by a connecting hole 011, and the connecting hole 011 is penetrated by a connecting bolt 022. On both ends of the connecting bolt 022 extending out of the water trough 01 and the connecting ear plate 02, fastening nuts 021 are provided through threaded rotation. The two fastening nuts 021 are respectively abutted against the side walls opposite to the water trough 01 and the connecting ear plate 02, and the water trough 01 and the connecting ear plate 02 are tightly connected and fit.

[0005] For the connection and installation of the water trough and the connecting lug plate, the operator is usually required to manually connect the connection holes, and then penetrate the connection holes on the water trough and the connecting lug plate through the connecting bolts, and achieve the fixed connection between the water trough and the connecting lug plate by tightening the nuts. In this process, the operator needs to concentrate highly to ensure the accuracy of the connection between the water trough and the connecting lug plate. However, after a long period of installation work, the operator is prone to inaccurate positioning and docking due to fatigue, which greatly reduces the processing quality of the connection between the water trough and the connecting lug plate, and seriously affects the processing efficiency of the entire body installation. Utility Model Content

[0006] In order to improve the processing accuracy of the connection between the water flow trough and the connecting ear plate, the present application provides a water flow trough anti-misalignment positioning device.

[0007] The present application provides a water trough error prevention positioning device that adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] The cam is provided with a locking plate, the locking plate being provided with a locking nut which is configured to lock the locking plate against the locking nut and the locking nut is secured on a top portion of the cam face.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, in the process of connecting the water trough and the connecting ear plate, firstly, the connecting ear plate is placed on the placement seat, and the fastening nut welded on the connecting ear plate is correspondingly inserted into the anti-rotation groove, and then the sliding pressure block is driven to tightly press the connecting ear plate and position it on the placement seat; then the water trough is placed on the placement seat and the support seat together, and the water trough is pressed on the placement seat and the support seat by a clamp to ensure that the water trough will not be offset during the connection process; finally, the torque machine is driven to slide with the fastening bolt toward the connection hole of the water trough away from the connecting ear plate. When the torque machine slides to the appropriate position so that the fastening bolt can be inserted into the connection hole, the torque machine drives the fastening bolt to rotate. Through the action of the thread, the fastening bolt can smoothly pass through the connection hole and fit tightly with the fastening nut until its end block forms a stable conflict with the side wall of the water trough. The positioning of the connecting ear plate is achieved through the combination of the placement seat and the pressure block. The use of torque machines and tightening bolts can automatically and accurately complete the connection between the water trough and the connecting ear plate. This not only greatly improves the processing accuracy of the connection, but also effectively improves the assembly efficiency.

[0010] Optionally, the clamp includes a corner cylinder vertically arranged on one side of the water flow trough and a pressure rod detachably arranged on the bottom side of the piston rod end of the corner cylinder to match the groove of the water flow trough. When the water flow trough is jointly covered on the support seat and the connecting ear plate, the bottom wall of the pressure rod is pressed on the water flow trough.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water trough is correctly placed on the support seat and the connecting ear plate, the bottom wall of the pressure rod will be tightly pressed on the water trough, thereby improving the stability of the water trough during the connection process. This clamp design is not only simple and efficient, but also can replace the pressure rod with water troughs of different sizes and shapes, thereby improving the applicability of the clamp.

[0012] Optionally, an electric slide rail is arranged on the workbench parallel to the sliding direction of the tightening bolt, a mounting seat is slidably arranged on the electric slide rail, the torque machine is installed on the mounting seat, a stroke sensor is arranged on one side of the electric slide rail on the workbench, one stroke sensor is arranged at each end of the sliding stroke of the mounting seat, and the stroke sensor is electrically connected to the electric slide rail.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the precise control of the electric slide rail enables the torque machine to move accurately to the predetermined position, greatly improving the convenience and accuracy of operation; and once the mounting base approaches the end of its sliding stroke, the stroke sensor will immediately send a signal to ensure that the torque machine operates within a safe range, effectively avoiding equipment damage or operational errors caused by exceeding the stroke.

[0014] Optionally, an electric telescopic rod is arranged on one side of the electric slide rail on the workbench, the electric telescopic rod is located near the water flow trough and is arranged in a length direction perpendicular to the electric slide rail, and a limit wheel is arranged on the end of the telescopic rod that slides toward the electric slide rail, and the limit wheel is used to prevent the mounting seat from exceeding the sliding stroke.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the setting of the limiting wheel can further effectively prevent the mounting seat from exceeding the sliding stroke, and reduce damage to the mounting seat in the process of tightly blocking the mounting seat, thereby ensuring the safety of the operating equipment. At the same time, the telescopic setting of the electric telescopic rod facilitates the adjustment of the clamping force of the limiting wheel on the mounting seat, thereby improving the blocking effect of the limiting wheel.

[0016] Optionally, pin holes are provided on the side walls of the water flow trough, and positioning pins are provided on the workbench corresponding to the pin holes, and the positioning pins correspond to the pin holes one by one.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the positioning pins and the pin holes are arranged correspondingly, which further improves the accuracy of positioning the water flow trough on the workbench.

[0018] Optionally, an ejection cylinder is provided on the workbench corresponding to the positioning pin, and the positioning pin is coaxially arranged at the top end of the ejection cylinder piston rod, and the size of the ejection cylinder piston rod is larger than the size of the positioning pin, and when the pin hole on the water flow trough is sleeved on the positioning pin, the bottom wall of the water flow trough contacts the piston rod of the ejection cylinder.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the water flow trough is connected to the connecting ear plate and the corner cylinder rotates the pressure rod away from the water flow trough, the ejection cylinder lifts the product connected to the water flow trough and the connecting ear plate, and separates it from the placement seat and the support seat, thereby improving the convenience for operators to take the product.

[0020] Optionally, a mounting plate is provided on the workbench at one side of the water trough, a laser displacement sensor emitting laser toward the water trough is provided on the mounting plate, a control box is provided on the workbench, and the laser displacement sensor is electrically connected to the control box.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, a laser displacement sensor is used to monitor the predetermined distance after the water trough is placed. The data information monitored by the electrical signal can prompt the operator whether the water trough is placed in place, thereby further improving the accuracy of the water trough placement.

[0022] Optionally, a proximity switch is provided on the workbench below a side of the water trough away from the support seat, and the proximity switch is electrically connected to the control box.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the proximity switch is set so that when the water trough is placed in place and covers the top of the proximity switch, the proximity switch is turned on and transmits an electrical signal to the control box to drive other electric equipment to start working; when the water trough is not placed on the support seat and the placement seat, the proximity switch is in a closed state, and the control box controls other electric equipment to be in a power-off and closed state, thereby saving electricity costs.

[0024] The proximity switch is electrically connected to the control box. When the water trough is placed near the proximity switch, the proximity switch will send a signal to the control box, thereby triggering a series of preset operations such as the clamp and torque machine, which not only improves the intelligence level of the entire device, but also makes the operation process safer and more efficient.

[0025] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0026] 1. In the process of connecting the water trough and the connecting ear plate, first place the connecting ear plate on the placement seat, and insert the fastening nut welded on the connecting ear plate into the anti-rotation groove, and then drive the sliding pressure block to tightly press the connecting ear plate and position it on the placement seat; then place the water trough on the placement seat and the support seat, and press the water trough on the placement seat and the support seat by a clamp to ensure that the water trough will not deviate during the connection process; finally drive the torque machine with the fastening bolt to slide toward the connection hole on the side of the water trough away from the connecting ear plate. When the torque machine slides to the appropriate position so that the fastening bolt can be inserted into the connection hole, the torque machine drives the fastening bolt to rotate. Through the action of the thread, the fastening bolt can smoothly pass through the connection hole and fit tightly with the fastening nut until its end block forms a stable conflict with the side wall of the water trough. The positioning of the connecting ear plate is achieved through the combination of the placement seat and the pressure block. The coordinated use of the torque machine and the fastening bolt can automatically and accurately complete the connection work between the water trough and the connecting ear plate. This not only greatly improves the processing accuracy of the connection, but also effectively improves the assembly efficiency;

[0027] 2. When the water channel is correctly placed on the support seat and the connecting ear plate, the bottom wall of the pressure rod will be tightly pressed on the water channel, thereby improving the stability of the water channel during the connection process.
