[0024] See also Figure 1-4The utility model provides a technical solution: a new type of positioning fixture for improving the assembly accuracy of the automobile engine cover, including a positioning fixture body 12, a connecting plate 11 is provided on the positioning fixture body 12, and a connecting vertical plate 201 is connected to the upper part of the connecting plate 11, the connecting vertical plate 201 and the connecting plate 11 are both made of aluminum, and the connecting vertical plate 201 and the connecting plate 11 are respectively provided with through holes for weight reduction, this structure enables the connecting plate 11 to connect and fix the upper and lower positioning structures, while reducing the weight, which is conducive to the efficient operation of the fixture by the assembler, the upper end of the connecting vertical plate 201 is connected to a reinforcing baffle 1, and an engine cover nylon support block 2 is installed between the reinforcing baffles 1, the engine cover nylon support block 2 is provided with two, and the upper end of the engine cover nylon support block 2 The surfaces are all inclined, and the nylon support blocks 2 of the engine hood form an inclined surface, and the upper end surface of the nylon support block 2 of the engine hood is higher than the upper end surface of the reinforcing baffle 1. This structure can support the bottom of the engine hood through the nylon support block 2 of the engine hood, so that the engine hood is in an inclined state, so that the engine hood can be assembled to the vehicle body. The reinforcing baffle 1 is used for structural reinforcement of the nylon support block 2 of the engine hood, and the nylon material of the nylon support block 2 of the engine hood has a lightweight effect, which reduces the weight of the positioning fixture body 12. At the same time, in addition to supporting the engine hood, the nylon support block 2 of the engine hood can also avoid scratching the engine hood. A hood locating pin 3 is also provided on one side above the connecting plate 11, and a first vehicle body locating pin 4 and a second vehicle body locating pin 7 are provided below the connecting plate 11. A hood installation positioning guide rod 10 is also installed on the side of the connecting vertical plate 201, and the hood installation positioning guide rod 10 is close to the high-end hood nylon support block 2. This structure can guide the hood through the hood installation positioning guide rod 10, so that the hood can be smoothly fixed to the positioning fixture body 12. The first body positioning block 5, the second body positioning block 6 and the third body positioning block 8 are evenly fixed at the bottom of the connecting plate 11, and an auxiliary clamping member 9 is rotatably installed at the bottom of the connecting plate 11. The auxiliary clamping member 9 is an auxiliary positioning structure on the existing hood assembly fixture, which makes the fixture and the body relatively reliably connected to ensure assembly accuracy. The top of the connecting plate 11 is screwed and fixed at the position where the hood positioning pin 3 is fixed There is an L-shaped connector 13, and the L-shaped connector 13 above the connecting plate 11 is fixed with a first positioning seat 301 by screwing, and the engine cover positioning pin 3 runs through the end of the first positioning seat 301.
