[0027] The fixture device 3 includes a connecting frame 31, the connecting frame 31 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjusting plate 2, two electric cylinders 32 are fixedly connected to one side of the connecting frame 31, and two clamping members 33 are arranged on the outer side of the connecting frame 31.
[0028] The clamping member 33 includes a rack 331. The rack 331 is fixed to the output end direction of the electric cylinder 32 through a piston rod. The upper and lower outer side walls of the rack 331 are both engaged with gears 332. One side of each gear 332 is fixed with a clamping block 333 through a rotary connection device. The inner side of the clamping block 333 is fixed with a rotating rod 334 through a rotary connection device. One side of the rotating rod 334 is fixed to one side of the connecting frame 31 through a rotary connection device.
[0029] The connecting frame 31 is fixed to the adjusting plate 2. The electric cylinder 32 thereon can control the piston rod to extend and retract. When the electric cylinder 32 drives the piston rod to extend and retract, it will push the rack 331 to move. The rack 331 is engaged with the gears 332. Therefore, the movement of the rack 331 will drive the gears 332 to rotate. The rotation of the gears 332 will drive the clamping blocks 333 to move through a rotary connection device (such as a hinge shaft or a pivot shaft), so as to realize the clamping and release of the upper piece of the subframe.
[0030] The rotary connection device is a hinge shaft or a pivot shaft. Embodiment 2
[0031] Based on the above Embodiment 1, referring to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 the connecting plate 1 includes a baffle 11. The inner side of the adjusting plate 2 is fitted with the baffle 11. Reserved grooves 12 are opened on both sides of the baffle 11. A fixing plate 13 is fixed to the top of the baffle 11 by screws.
[0032] The fixing plate 13 provided on the connecting plate 1 is connected to an external mobile device (which may be a welding robot or a manual mobile device) to ensure that the fixture can be stably moved to the position of the subframe to be welded.
[0033] The adjusting plate 2 includes a bottom plate 21. The outer side of the baffle 11 is fitted with the bottom plate 21. Arc-shaped grooves 22 are opened on both sides of the bottom plate 21. A connecting block 23 is fixed to one side of the bottom plate 21.
[0034] The reserved grooves 12 opened on the baffle 11 and the arc-shaped grooves 22 opened on the bottom plate 21 are in a corresponding relationship and are fixed by bolts.
[0035] A plurality of threaded holes are opened on the connecting block 23. The connecting block 23 is located inside the connecting frame 31 and is bolt-fixed to the connecting frame 31 through the plurality of threaded holes opened.
[0036] The adjusting plate 2 can be finely adjusted to adapt to subframes of different sizes or shapes. By the bolt connection between the adjusting plate 2 and the connecting plate 1, the relative positions of the two can be changed, so as to adjust the overall height or inclination of the fixture. Moreover, the arc-shaped grooves 22 on the bottom plate 21 correspond to the reserved grooves 12 on the baffle 11 and are fixed by bolts to achieve the adjustment.
[0037] Working principle: Please refer to Figures 1 - 5 As shown, first, connect the fixing plate 13 provided on the connecting plate 1 to an external mobile device (which may be a welding robot or a manual moving device) to ensure that the fixture can be stably moved to the position of the subframe to be welded. Secondly, the adjusting plate 2 can be finely adjusted to adapt to subframes of different sizes or shapes. By adjusting the bolt connection between the adjusting plate 2 and the connecting plate 1, the relative position of the two can be changed, thereby adjusting the overall height or inclination of the fixture. Moreover, the arc-shaped groove 22 on the bottom plate 21 corresponds to the reserved groove 12 on the baffle 11 and is fixed by bolts to achieve adjustment. Then, the fixture device 3 is the core part of the fixture, responsible for fixing and clamping the upper piece of the subframe. The connecting frame 31 is fixed on the adjusting plate 2, and the electric cylinder 32 thereon can be telescoped by controlling the piston rod. When the electric cylinder 32 drives the piston rod to expand and contract, it will push the rack 331 to move. The rack 331 meshes with the gear 332. Therefore, the movement of the rack 331 will drive the gear 332 to rotate, and the rotation of the gear 332 will drive the clamping block 333 to move through a rotating connection device (such as a hinge shaft or a pivot shaft), thereby realizing the clamping and releasing of the upper piece of the subframe. During the clamping process, the connection between the clamping block 333 and the rotating rod 334 increases the stability during the clamping process.
