[0002] During the shock absorber production process, the assembled shock absorbers undergo a 24-hour horizontal oil leakage test to ensure no leaks before proceeding to the painting process. After painting, the shock absorbers require sufficient time to dry and cure, and then the paint surface must be inspected for defects. Currently, various tooling vehicles are used for placement and turnover, but this presents the following problems:

[0003] ① Storage issues after painting: Although the painted shock absorbers have reached a dry surface through baking, stacking them can still cause defects such as indentations. Although storing them flat in a single layer can avoid indentations, it will take up a lot of space and reduce production efficiency.

[0004] ② Problems with defect detection before painting: The stacking of shock absorbers before painting makes it difficult to detect defects in the lower shock absorbers in a timely manner. The defects in the lower layer can only be checked after the upper layer products are removed, which affects the timely repair of defects and quality control.

[0005] ③Operational issues in subsequent processes: After the shock absorber completes the horizontal placement process, it needs to undergo subsequent processes such as repainting, rust prevention, and labeling. These operations require frequent flipping of the shock absorber, which can easily cause new bumps and scratches.

[0006] ④ The problem of inconsistent specifications of tooling vehicles: The specifications of tooling vehicles used in different processes are inconsistent, which requires additional time and effort for storage and management, affecting the continuity and efficiency of production.

[0032] In order to solve the technical problems in the prior art that the stacked storage of painted shock absorbers takes up a lot of space, is prone to indentation, and is inconvenient to inspect, the present application proposes a shock absorber turnover tooling.

[0033] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 3-Figure 7In one possible embodiment, the shock absorber turnover tooling includes: a tooling vehicle body 1, a base assembly 2 and an adjustable bracket 3; wherein, two or more groups of base assemblies 2 are arranged along the height direction of the tooling vehicle body 1; each group of base assemblies 2 includes two bases 201, which are arranged at the same height of the tooling vehicle body 1, and every two bases 201 are arranged correspondingly; a guide rail I 202 is provided on each base 201; the adjustable bracket 3 includes a fixed base 302, a movable base 303, a guide rail II 304, a bracket 301, a slider 307 and a fixing screw 305; wherein, the fixed base 302 is placed on each group of bases 201, and a slider 307 is installed on the fixed base 302, and the slider 307 cooperates with the guide rail I 202 to The fixed base 302 slides along the guide rail I 202 through the slider 307; a guide rail II 304 is set on the fixed base 302, and the movable base 303 is sleeved on the outside of the guide rail II 304 and can slide along the guide rail II 304 relative to the fixed base 302 to adjust the distance between the movable base 303 and the fixed base 302, and brackets 301 are correspondingly set on the fixed base 302 and the movable base 303, and multiple groups of bracket blocks 306 are set on the bracket 301, and the workpiece 4, such as the shock absorber, is placed between each group of bracket blocks 306; wherein the bracket block 306 has a V-shaped groove, and the workpiece 4 is placed in the V-shaped groove; the fixing screw 305 is installed in the threaded hole on the movable base 303, and the fixing screw 305 passes through the threaded hole and is clamped to the guide rail II 304.

[0034] In a possible implementation, a gasket is provided between the fixing screw 305 and the guide rail II 304 .

[0035] In the above scheme, the shock absorber turnover tooling is mainly used to fix the shock absorber horizontally; the tooling vehicle body 1 provides an integral frame structure that can support the base assembly 2 and the adjustable bracket 3; the base assembly 2 is arranged along the height direction of the tooling vehicle body 1, and the height can be flexibly adjusted to accommodate shock absorbers of different specifications; see Figure 1 and Figure 3 Each base assembly 2 realizes the sliding of the fixed base 302 along the guide rail I 202 by the cooperation of the guide rail I 202 and the slider 307, thereby adjusting the placement position of the workpiece 4; the adjustable bracket 3 adjusts the distance between the fixed base 302 and the movable base 303 by sliding; the guide rail II 304 ensures the smooth sliding of the movable base 303 and the adjustable distance, and at the same time realizes the fastening and fixation through the locking function of the fixing screw 305; a gasket is set between the fixing screw 305 and the guide rail II so that the two do not directly contact each other to prevent the fixing screw from scratching the guide rail II; see Figure 4 , the bracket block 306 on the bracket 301 has a V-shaped groove, which can firmly place the shock absorber to prevent it from moving.

[0036] This embodiment of the shock absorber turnover fixture offers flexible adjustment, high adaptability, and easy operation. The multi-layer storage structure saves space. The guide rail and slider design allows for easy access to the adjustment bracket, while the use of fixing screws ensures stability after adjustment. The V-groove design enhances the shock absorber's securement, preventing slippage and shaking, and improving work efficiency and safety.

[0037] See also Figure 2 In a possible embodiment, two directional wheels 101 and two universal brake wheels 102 are installed at the bottom of the tooling vehicle body 1.

[0038] In the above solution, the provision of fixed wheels 101 and universal brake wheels 102 provides the work vehicle body 1 with excellent mobility and stability, improving the ease of movement and operational stability of the shock absorber turnover tooling. The combination of fixed wheels and universal brake wheels allows the work vehicle body 1 to be both flexible and securely fixed when needed, adapting to the needs of various working environments.

[0039] In another possible embodiment, different types of wheels can be selected according to actual needs, such as more wear-resistant rubber wheels or wheels with shock absorption function, to improve the adaptability of the work vehicle body 1 to different ground surfaces. In addition, the number of wheels can be increased or decreased as needed to further optimize mobility and stability.

[0040] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6 In a possible implementation, the guide rail I 202 is disposed on the upper surface of the base 201 ; the slider 307 is disposed below the fixed base 302 .

[0041] The guide rail I 202 is provided on the upper surface of the base 201 , and the slider 307 is provided below the fixed base 302 , so that the fixed base 302 can be slidably adjusted along the guide rail I 202 via the slider 307 .

[0042] In another possible implementation, the slider 307 may also be made of a self-lubricating material, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), to reduce friction and improve sliding performance.

[0043] See also Figure 2 In a possible embodiment, the vehicle body 1 is a square frame structure, which is welded with 50*5mm square tubes.

[0044] In the above solution, the vehicle body 1 adopts a square frame structure and is welded with 50*5mm square tubes to ensure the sturdiness and stability of the body. The use of square tubes increases the strength of the structure, and the welding process ensures a firm connection between the various components.

[0045] The vehicle body 1 has high strength and stability and can bear large loads. The square frame structure makes the whole body more stable and not easy to deform, ensuring the safety of the shock absorber during placement.

[0046] In another possible embodiment, pipes with other cross-sectional shapes, such as round or rectangular pipes, can be used to meet different strength and aesthetic requirements. Welding can also be replaced with bolting or riveting to facilitate disassembly and maintenance.

[0047] See also Figure 5a In a possible implementation, a marking line 401 is provided on the fixed base 302 , the marking line 401 indicates the distance between the movable base 303 and the fixed base 302 , and the marking line 401 corresponds to the model of the shock absorber.

[0048] The marking lines 401 provided on the fixed base 302 are used to indicate the distance between the movable base 303 and the fixed base 302. These marking lines are marked according to the model of the shock absorber, which facilitates the operator to quickly adjust and determine the appropriate position.

[0049] The setting of the marking line 401 makes it more intuitive and convenient for the operator to adjust the position of the movable base 303, thereby improving the efficiency and accuracy of the adjustment and the convenience of operation.

[0050] In a possible embodiment, the base 201 is fixedly or movably mounted on the vehicle body 1, and the bases 201 at the same height are an integral structure, namely, the base assembly 2, see Figure 3 .

[0051] The base 201 can be fixed or movably mounted on the vehicle body 1, making the installation more flexible. The bases 201 at the same height are an integral structure, forming the base assembly 2, ensuring the overall stability and unity of the base.

[0052] The installation method of the base assembly 2 is more flexible and easy to adjust according to actual needs. At the same time, the design of the overall structure improves the stability of the base and ensures the safety of the shock absorber during placement.

[0053] In another possible embodiment, a modular design can be adopted to make the base 201 easier to install and remove. The material and structure of the base can also be adjusted as needed to improve its strength and stability.

[0054] In a possible implementation, the bracket 301 is a nylon bracket, and the bracket block 306 is a nylon block.

[0055] The bracket 301 and the bracket block 306 are both made of nylon material, which has good strength and toughness and is light in weight. The use of nylon material also increases the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the bracket and the bracket block.

[0056] In another possible embodiment, other high-strength, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant materials, such as polyamide (PA) or polyethylene terephthalate (PET), may be used to further improve the performance of the bracket and the bracket block.

[0057] The shock absorber turnover tooling of an embodiment of the utility model is described in detail as follows;

[0058] After assembly, the shock absorbers undergo a 24-hour horizontal oil leak test. Once leaks are confirmed, they are moved to the painting process. After painting, the shock absorbers require sufficient time to dry and cure, and the paint surface must be inspected for defects. The existing solution involves using multiple work vehicles for storage and turnover, which presents the following challenges: ① During post-painting storage, although the shock absorbers are baked to achieve surface dryness, stacking them can still produce defects such as indentations. Laying them flat in a single layer would also take up too much space. ② Before painting, the shock absorbers are stacked. Defects in the lower-level shock absorbers cannot be detected until the upper-level products are removed. ③ After the horizontal storage process, the shock absorbers require repainting, rust prevention, labeling, and other processes. This requires frequent flipping of the shock absorbers, which can easily lead to new bumps and scratches. ④ The work vehicles used for different processes vary in specifications, making storage and management time-consuming.

[0059] In response to existing problems, the utility model proposes a special turnover tooling, which realizes multi-layer placement and allows observation of the condition of each layer of shock absorbers, taking into account the placement and turnover requirements of each process.

[0060] The tooling vehicle mainly consists of three parts, such as Figure 1 ,

[0061] ① Place the vibrator horizontally on the vehicle body, see Figure 2 This structure is used as the main structure of the shock absorber horizontal tooling. It is made of 50*5mm square tubes welded together as the main structure. Heavy-duty wheels are installed below, including two universal wheels and two fixed wheels, which can realize the portable movement of the entire equipment.

[0062] ②Base assembly 2 with guide rail Ⅰ202, see Figure 3 This part serves as the supporting structure of each layer of the shock absorber turnover fixture. It is composed of a guide rail, a base, etc. By matching the slider 307 of the guide rail I 202 and connecting it with the adjustable bracket 3, the forward and backward movement of each layer of the bracket can be controlled, making it convenient to observe the appearance of the shock absorber.

[0063] ③ Adjustable bracket: This part can be regarded as a simple horizontal platform, including a fixed base 302, a movable base 303, a guide rail II 304, a nylon bracket, a fixing screw 305, and a slider 307;

[0064] 1) The structure of the bracket 301, see Figure 4 Nylon has excellent wear resistance, strength, and corrosion resistance. As a supporting structure in direct contact with the shock absorber, it can avoid the defects of bumping and wearing of the contact part. Many equidistant V-grooves are processed on the nylon block. This structure has the following functions:

[0065] 1) The V-shaped structure can provide good support for the threaded part of the shock absorber end, avoiding collision caused by horizontal displacement of the shock absorber.

[0066] 2) The horizontal workpiece can be rotated 360 degrees, which is convenient for observing the entire surface condition of the shock absorber, repairing defects, sticking labels, and greasing threads for rust prevention.

[0067] 3) Since there are many series of shock absorbers with different diameters of cylinders, the V-shaped structure distributed in an array can be suitable for various types of shock absorbers.

[0068] 2) Adjust the position of the movable base 303 on the guide rail II 304 according to the length of the shock absorber to accommodate shock absorbers of different lengths. Then tighten the fixing screws 305 so that both ends of the shock absorber are stably placed on the fixed base 302 and the movable base 303. At this time, the shock absorber body is suspended in the air, which can avoid bumps, indentations, and other defects caused by stacking the shock absorbers.

[0069] 3) The slider 307 serves as a connection piece with the vehicle body, and plays the role of supporting and controlling the forward and backward movement of the adjustment bracket.

[0070] The schematic diagram of the shock absorber turnover tooling is as follows:

[0071] 1. Adjust the adjustable bracket 3 to the appropriate size and place the shock absorber on the adjustable bracket until it is fully loaded horizontally.

[0072] 2. When the shelf on this layer is full, push the shelf on this layer to the rightmost end of the diagram through the base assembly 2, push the empty adjustable bracket 3 to the leftmost end of the diagram, and place the shock absorber on this layer horizontally;

[0073] 3. After all adjustable brackets 3 are filled or the products of this batch are placed, the tooling vehicle can be moved to the next process;

[0074] 4. When you need to observe defects on a certain layer, you only need to drag out the bracket of that layer and rotate the shock absorber on the bracket to observe the entire product. There is no need to carry the shock absorber back and forth, which saves time and avoids new bumps and scratches.

[0075] The shock absorber turnover tooling of the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0076] ①The shock absorber turnover tooling is designed as a multi-layered structure, which greatly improves space utilization. In addition, the tooling is placed with both ends suspended each time. The tooling only contacts the unpainted parts such as the shock absorber threads, avoiding defects such as bumps and indentations.

[0077] ② The shock absorber turnover fixture is equipped with a guide rail structure at the bottom of the single-layer platform, so that each layer of the platform can move back and forth flexibly, making it convenient to observe the real-time status of each product and to discover and repair product defects as early as possible.

[0078] ③ The nylon block with a V-shaped structure in contact with the shock absorber thread not only provides good support for the shock absorber end thread, but also allows the horizontal shock absorber to rotate 360 degrees, making it convenient to observe the entire surface condition of the shock absorber, repair defects, attach labels, and apply anti-rust oil to the threads.

[0079] ④ When it is necessary to place shock absorbers of different specifications and models horizontally, the position of the adjustable bracket can be adjusted to accommodate products of different lengths and thicknesses. Due to its flexibility and adaptability, the cost of frequent tooling changes due to product size changes can be reduced.

[0080] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the same. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the specific implementation methods of the present invention may still be modified or some technical features may be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the technical solutions claimed for protection by the present invention.
