Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile parts production and processing, in particular to a clamp which can quickly install an automobile steering column. Background Art

[0002] The automotive steering column is a crucial component of the vehicle's steering system. It connects the steering wheel to the steering gear and transmits the driver's steering commands to the wheels. The steering column typically consists of numerous precision components, including a locking rod, camshaft, stopper, release lever, and release button. These components work together to ensure smooth steering system operation. The steering column's primary functions include controlling the vehicle's direction of travel, transmitting torque, and absorbing energy during impacts. It not only adjusts the vehicle up and down, forward and backward, to ensure driver comfort, but also absorbs some of the energy after a collision, ensuring driver safety. The steering column also serves as an anti-theft feature. When the driver removes the key from the key cylinder, the locking rod locks the steering column, preventing unauthorized vehicle start-up. Damage to the steering column can lead to a range of problems, including vehicle deviation during straight-line driving, an excessively heavy steering wheel feel, increased steering free travel, oversteer or understeer, and jerking or unusual noises during steering. These issues not only affect the driver's handling experience but can also endanger driving safety. Therefore, once a steering column fault is discovered, the owner should immediately repair it to ensure that the vehicle's steering performance returns to normal to ensure driving safety. During its production and processing, it needs to be clamped and fixed before the fixing processing can be carried out.

[0003] Application number CN201620033846.X discloses a fixture specifically designed for machining automotive steering column tubes. The fixture comprises a vertical plate A, a support base, a tire expansion support base, and a screw adjustment base, all secured to a base plate. A horizontal plate is connected between vertical plates A and B, and is fixedly connected to the base of an auxiliary support cylinder. A positioning column is secured to vertical plate B, and a clamping rod, activated by cylinder A, clamps the automotive steering column tube. A pneumatic auxiliary support cylinder assists in supporting the steering column tube. Cylinder B is mounted on the tire expansion support base. This fixture utilizes auxiliary support and floating positioning clamping, ensuring easy adjustment and consistent machining quality. Operation is simple, and the tool assembly allows for rapid cutting, optimizing machining processes and increasing production efficiency.

[0004] Although the above-mentioned utility model adopts auxiliary support and floating positioning clamping, which is easy to adjust, can ensure stable processing quality, simple operation, and the tool can achieve combined tool fast cutting, optimize the processing technology, and improve production efficiency, it has the disadvantage that when the middle device is clamped and fixed, it is fixed on both sides, so there is a certain possibility of slipping, and the stability of the fixed clamping has not yet been guaranteed.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] See also Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown, the utility model is a clamp for quickly installing a steering column of an automobile, comprising a mounting base assembly 1, clamping and fixing assemblies 2 are installed on both sides of the mounting base assembly 1, and a clamping plate assembly 3 is installed on the top thereof, and a manual clamping assembly 4 is installed in the middle position between the clamping plate assembly 3 and the mounting base assembly 1.

[0026] By replacing the clamping component in the device with the current disc-shaped manual clamping component 4, when using this device, its components can provide a more comprehensive and enclosing fixing method when fixing, and its braking method is relatively simple, which provides a certain convenience when clamping.

[0027] The mounting base assembly 1 includes a mounting plate 101, which has fixing screw holes 102 opened around it and a mounting silicone pad 103 installed in the middle. When performing installation and fixing work, it can be first installed on the top of the device through the fixing screw holes 102 opened around the mounting plate 101, and then the clamping plate assembly 3 is installed on the top of the mounting silicone pad 103.

[0028] The clamping and fixing component 2 includes a clamping side plate 201, a limiting rod 202 is installed on the outside of the clamping side plate 201, and a threaded lifting rod 203 is installed on the inside thereof, and is installed on both sides of the mounting plate 101 at the same time. An adjusting knob 204 is installed on the top of the threaded lifting rod 203, and a clamping base plate 205 is installed on the bottom thereof. The positioning and fixing work on both sides is performed by the clamping and fixing component 2. By correspondingly installing the clamping side plates 201 and the clamping base plate 205 on both sides in the positions of the fixed object side plates, and then braking by rotating the adjusting knob 204, the threaded lifting rod 203 at the bottom thereof is driven by its rotation, and under the positioning action of the positioning rod 202 on one side, it can be lifted and lowered, and then the clamping base plate 205 at the bottom thereof is driven to rise to realize the clamping work, so that the overall fixing work can be completed.

[0029] The clamping plate assembly 3 includes a mounting groove 301, an adjustment slot 302 is provided at the center of the mounting groove 301, an adjustment ring 303 is installed at the center position corresponding to the three adjustment slots 302, a positioning column 304 is installed around the adjustment ring 303, and a rotating handle 405 is installed at the bottom of one side.
