Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile assembly auxiliary tools, in particular to a tool for installing a fender. Background Art

[0002] Fenders are exterior panels that cover the wheels. Named for their shape and position, they resemble bird wings. They are located between the front tires and rear wheels and are divided into front and rear fenders. Made of weather-resistant plastic, they offer cushioning and elasticity, effectively protecting the vehicle.

[0003] Door sill trims are decorative components installed inside the doors and on the sides of the vehicle body, primarily enhancing the vehicle's appearance and protecting it from scratches. They not only enhance passenger comfort and create an elegant interior appearance, but also provide durable covering for wiring harnesses, sheet metal, and body parts.

[0004] Traditional fuel-powered vehicle door sill trims are mostly made of sheet metal. With the diversification and lightweighting of new energy vehicles, the use of plastic door sill trims is gradually increasing. Unlike sheet metal door sills, plastic door sill trims are installed in the final assembly shop. During installation in the final assembly shop, plastic door sills are located at the bottom of the fender, attached to the outside of the fender bracket. Therefore, with the diversification and lightweighting of new energy vehicles, the matching of fenders with the gap and surface difference between the vehicle door panel and the surface difference between the door sill trims becomes difficult.

[0005] However, in the prior art, during the installation of the fender, a positioning tool is usually used to adjust the gap and surface difference between the fender and the car door panel. However, the positioning tool in the prior art can no longer simultaneously adjust the surface difference between the fender and the door sill trim.

[0006] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN208162939U discloses a fender positioning fixture. This fixture includes a base, to one side of which are fixedly connected a door positioning block, a fender positioning block, and a reference gauge, with the reference gauge positioned between the fender and door positioning blocks. This fender positioning fixture ensures high positioning accuracy during fender installation, ensuring consistency in the gap and flushness between the fender and the door. This method only adjusts the flushness between the fender and the door panel; it cannot adjust the step between the fender and the door sill trim, which is mounted at the lower end of the fender and located outside the fender bracket.

[0007] Therefore, in the prior art, there is a problem that during the assembly process of the automobile, the fender is difficult to match with the gap and surface difference between the automobile door panel and the surface difference between the fender and the door sill trim. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the utility model is to solve the problem in the prior art that during the assembly process of an automobile, a fender is difficult to match with the gap and surface difference between the fender and the automobile door panel, as well as the surface difference between the fender and the door sill trim.

[0009] To solve the above problems, an embodiment of the present utility model provides a tool for fender installation, including a base, a first positioning component for positioning the upper part of the fender, and a second positioning component for positioning the lower part of the fender. In the height direction of the base, the first positioning component is arranged at the upper part of the base, and the second positioning component is arranged at the lower part of the base, and the first positioning component and the second positioning component are located on the same side of the base in the thickness direction of the base.

[0010] Furthermore, the first positioning assembly includes: a first positioning member, a gap positioning member and a second positioning member arranged in sequence along the width direction of the base, each of the first positioning member, the gap positioning member and the second positioning member extends along the thickness direction of the base, and each member is fixedly connected to the base at one end along its extension direction, the end face of the other end of the first positioning member is used to fit with the upper part of the fender, the end face of the other end of the second positioning member is used to fit with the outer panel of the vehicle door, and the other end of the gap positioning member protrudes from the end face of the other end of the first positioning member and the end face of the other end of the second positioning member, and is used to be inserted into the gap between the upper part of the fender and the outer panel of the vehicle door.

[0011] Furthermore, the second positioning assembly includes a plurality of contoured components arranged at intervals along the width direction of the base, each contoured component extends along the thickness direction of the base, and one end of the plurality of contoured components along their extension direction is fixedly connected to the base, and the end faces of the other ends of the plurality of contoured components are used to fit with the lower part of the fender.

[0012] Using the above technical solution, when installing the fender on the vehicle body, a worker inserts a gap locating block into the gap between the fender and the door outer panel, aligning the side of the gap locating block closest to the door outer panel with the door outer panel, and aligning the side of the gap locating block closest to the upper fender with the fender, thereby adjusting the gap between the upper fender and the door outer panel. A first locating member is then aligned with the outer surface of the upper fender portion, and a second locating member is aligned with the outer surface of the upper door outer panel, thereby adjusting the flush difference between the outer surface of the upper fender portion and the door outer panel. Multiple contoured members are aligned with the outer surface of the lower fender portion to determine the step difference between the outer surface of the lower fender portion and the fender bracket. After the sill trim is mounted on the fender bracket, the flush difference between the outer surface of the lower fender portion and the sill trim is adjusted.

[0013] In summary, this tool for fender installation has the function of adjusting the gap and surface difference between the outer surface of the fender and the outer door panel; at the same time, it has the function of adjusting the surface difference between the outer fender panel and the plastic door sill trim, thereby reducing the subsequent rework costs caused by poor matching between the door sill trim and the fender outer panel.

[0014] According to the tool for fender installation provided by the embodiment of the present invention, among the multiple profiling components, at least two profiling components are located at the edge of the base along the width direction of the base, and the profiling components include a base and a profiling block, one end of the base is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end extends along the thickness direction of the base and is fixedly connected to one end of the profiling block, and the other end of the profiling block extends in the thickness direction of the base.

[0015] With the above technical solution, since different models have different structures of the profiling blocks, it is easy to replace the profiling blocks when the tool for fender installation is used on different models.

[0016] Furthermore, by setting a base, the shape of the base can be set so that the base can extend along the width direction of the base, thereby providing more installation space for setting the contoured components, thereby reducing the overall weight of the tool, and making the tool have the advantage of being light.

[0017] According to the tool for fender installation provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the end surface of the other end of the profiling block is configured as a profiling surface.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the other end surface of the profiling block as the profiling surface, the end surface of the profiling block can be fitted to the outer surface of the lower part of the fender according to the outer surface shape of the lower part of the fender when it is fitted to the outer surface of the lower part of the fender.

[0019] According to the tool for fender installation provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the tool also includes a fixing component, which is arranged on the lower side of the base and is used to be fixed to the fender bracket, and the second positioning component and the fixing component are located on the same side of the base in the thickness direction of the base; wherein, in the height direction of the base, the fixing component is located below the second positioning component.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution and setting a fixing component, when using the tool, the fender can be pre-positioned to the installation position on the fender bracket in advance, which is convenient for the staff to subsequently adjust the surface difference gap between the upper outer surface of the fender and the upper outer surface of the door outer panel, as well as adjust the step difference between the lower outer surface of the fender and the fender bracket to achieve the adjustment of the surface difference between the lower part of the fender and the door sill trim.

[0021] According to the tool for fender installation provided by the embodiment of the present invention, the fixing assembly includes an "I"-shaped positioning block and a plurality of positioning pins, one end of the "I"-shaped positioning block is fixedly connected to the base, and the other end extends along the thickness direction of the base, and a plurality of positioning pins are arranged at intervals on the other end of the "I"-shaped positioning block, and at least two of the plurality of positioning pins are located at the edge position of the other end of the "I"-shaped positioning block along the width direction of the base; wherein, the plurality of positioning pins are used to correspond one-to-one with and adapt to the plurality of positioning holes on the fender bracket.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, when using the tool, multiple positioning pins are inserted into multiple positioning holes one by one, and then the "I"-shaped positioning block is fitted with the outer surface of the fender bracket via one side of the fender bracket. At this time, the fender is adjusted so that the outer surface of the lower part of the fender fits against the profiling block, thereby determining the step difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender and the fender bracket. After the sill trim is installed on the fender bracket, ensure that the surface difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender trim and the lower part of the fender is within the allowable range, thereby reducing the risk of subsequent repairs due to excessive surface difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender and the sill trim.

[0023] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a fender installation tool is provided. The base includes a first connecting base and a second connecting base. The first connecting base is fixedly connected to the second connecting base, and the first connecting base is located above the second connecting base in the height direction of the base.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution and providing the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat, it is easy to change the shape of the tooling, thereby meeting the assembly requirements of fenders suitable for various models.

[0025] According to the tool for fender installation provided by an embodiment of the present invention, the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat are arranged in an "L" shape, wherein the first connecting seat is arranged along the width direction of the base, and the second connecting seat is arranged along the height direction of the base.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the first connecting seat and the second connecting seat are arranged in an "L" shape, so that when the fender is installed, the contoured component will not fit into the lower outer surface of the vehicle door, and will not interfere with the first positioning component in adjusting the gap and surface difference between the upper outer surface of the fender and the outer panel of the vehicle door.

[0027] According to the fender installation tool provided in an embodiment of the present invention, gaskets are provided at the positions where the first positioning assembly, the second positioning assembly, and the fixing assembly are connected to the base.

[0028] By adopting the above technical solution, the distances between the first positioning assembly, the second positioning assembly and the fixing assembly and the base can be adjusted by setting gaskets, thereby ensuring that the fender adapts to different installation sizes when installed on different vehicle models.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present invention, the tool for fender installation further includes a handle, which is arranged on a side of the base away from the first positioning assembly and is fixedly connected to the base.

[0030] By adopting the above technical solution and providing a handle, it is convenient for workers to take or operate the tool.

[0052] A fender installation tool is a tool specifically used to assist in the installation of automobile fenders. It is designed to ensure that the fenders fit correctly with other parts of the vehicle, thereby improving the overall quality and appearance of the car.

[0053] The design of existing fender installation jigs primarily considers the flushness between the fender and the vehicle's front door. Specific positioning components and a jig body ensure accurate fender installation. These jigs typically consist of a jig body, a body positioning structure, a body clamping structure, and a fender positioning structure. The jig body is designed to mimic the actual shape of the vehicle, particularly the front door, to accurately simulate the front edge of the front door, which serves as a reference for fender installation. This ensures accurate fender assembly positioning and, consequently, ensures that the clearance and flushness between the fender and the front door meet quality requirements.

[0054] However, with the development of new energy vehicles, their designs are increasingly trending towards lightweight designs, resulting in a gradual increase in the use of plastic door sill trims. However, the installation of plastic door sill trims is completed in the final assembly workshop. During installation in the final assembly workshop, the plastic door sill trims are located at the lower end of the fender, outside the fender bracket. However, existing fender installation tools can only adjust and limit the gap and flushness between the fender and the vehicle's front door, but are unable to simultaneously adjust the flushness between the door sill trim located at the lower end of the fender and the outer surface of the lower portion of the fender. Consequently, existing technologies present difficulties in matching the fender to the gap and flushness of the vehicle door panel, as well as the flushness of the door sill trim.

[0055] To address the aforementioned issues, the present invention provides a fender installation tool comprising a base, a first positioning assembly for positioning the upper portion of the fender, and a second positioning assembly for positioning the lower portion of the fender. The first positioning assembly is positioned at the upper portion of the base, while the second positioning assembly is positioned at the lower portion of the base. The first and second positioning assemblies are located on the same side of the base in terms of thickness. When installing the fender and sill trim in the final assembly workshop, the first positioning assembly adjusts the gap and flushness between the outer surface of the fender's upper portion and the outer surface of the door outer panel; the second positioning assembly adjusts the flushness between the outer surface of the fender's lower portion and the sill trim, reducing the subsequent repair costs associated with poor matching between the sill trim and the fender.

[0056] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the embodiments of the present invention will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0057] First, an overall description of the tools used for fender installation is given.

[0058] See Figure 1-Figure 3 An embodiment of the utility model discloses a tool for installing a fender, including a base 1, a first positioning component 2 for positioning the upper part of the fender, and a second positioning component 3 for positioning the lower part of the fender. In the height direction H of the base 1, the first positioning component 2 is arranged on the upper part of the base 1, and the second positioning component 3 is arranged on the lower part of the base 1, and the first positioning component 2 and the second positioning component 3 are located on the same side of the base 1 in the thickness direction T of the base 1.

[0059] Specifically, when installing the fender 7 and sill trim in the final assembly workshop, the first positioning assembly 2 adjusts the gap and flushness between the upper outer surface of the fender and the outer surface of the door outer panel 8; the second positioning assembly 3 adjusts the flushness between the lower outer surface of the fender and the sill trim. This allows for simultaneous adjustment of the gap and flushness between the outer surface of the fender 7 and the door outer panel 8, as well as the flushness between the fender 7 and the plastic sill trim, reducing subsequent repair costs associated with poor fit between the sill trim and fender 7.

[0060] In the implementation method disclosed in this embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure and arrangement of the first positioning component 2 and the second positioning component 3 are further explained below.

[0061] In a feasible embodiment, the first positioning component 2 includes: a first positioning member 20, a gap positioning member 21 and a second positioning member 22 arranged in sequence along the width direction W of the base 1, each of the first positioning member 20, the gap positioning member 21 and the second positioning member 22 extends along the thickness direction T of the base 1, and each member is fixedly connected to the base 1 at one end along its extension direction, the end face of the other end of the first positioning member 20 is used to fit with the upper part of the fender, and the end face of the other end of the second positioning member 22 is used to fit with the door outer panel 8, and the other end of the gap positioning member 21 protrudes from the end face of the other end of the first positioning member 20 and the end face of the other end of the second positioning member 22, and is used to be inserted into the gap between the upper part of the fender and the door outer panel 8.

[0062] The second positioning assembly 3 includes a plurality of contoured members 30 spaced apart along the width direction W of the base 1, each contoured member 30 extending along the thickness direction T of the base 1, and one end of each of the plurality of contoured members 30 along the extension direction is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the end faces of the other ends of each of the plurality of contoured members 30 are used to fit with the outer surface of the lower part of the fender.

[0063] Specifically, when installing the fender 7 on the vehicle body, a worker uses the fender installation tool to insert a gap locating block into the gap between the fender 7 and the door outer panel 8, aligning the side of the gap locating block closer to the door outer panel 8 with the door outer panel 8, and aligning the side of the gap locating block closer to the upper portion of the fender with the fender 7, thereby adjusting the gap between the fender 7 and the door outer panel 8. The first locating member 20 is then aligned with the outer surface of the upper portion of the fender, and the second locating member 22 is aligned with the outer surface of the upper portion of the door outer panel 8, thereby adjusting the flush difference between the fender 7 and the door outer panel 8. The plurality of contouring members 30 are aligned with the outer surface of the lower portion of the fender, thereby determining the step difference between the outer surface of the lower portion of the fender and the fender bracket 9. After the sill trim is mounted on the fender bracket 9, the flush difference between the outer surface of the lower portion of the fender and the sill trim is adjusted.

[0064] Through the above structure, the tool for fender installation has the function of adjusting the gap and surface difference between the upper outer surface of the fender and the door outer panel 8, as well as adjusting the surface difference between the lower outer surface of the fender and the plastic door sill trim, thereby reducing the subsequent rework cost caused by poor matching between the door sill trim and the lower part of the fender.

[0065] It should be understood that the surface difference between the fender 7 and the door outer panel 8 is: the difference between the outer surface of the upper part of the fender and the outer surface of the upper part of the door outer panel 8 in the thickness direction T of the base 1; the surface difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender and the threshold trim is: the difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender and the threshold trim in the thickness direction T of the base 1; the step difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender and the fender bracket 9 is: the difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender and the fender bracket 9 in the thickness direction T of the base 1.

[0066] More specifically, the structures of the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 22 are not limited, for example, they can be set as limit blocks, limit plates and positioning blocks, etc.; the structure of the gap positioning member 21 is not limited, for example, it can be set as a combination of a support seat and a limit bar, a gap bar, a reference block, etc.

[0067] In one feasible embodiment, the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 22 are configured as a first positioning block and a second positioning block arranged sequentially along the width direction W of the base 1. The gap positioning member 21 includes a support seat and a limiting strip. The first positioning block, the second positioning block, and the support seat are arranged sequentially along the width direction W of the base 1 and all extend along the thickness direction T of the base 1. The limiting strip is clamped to the support seat, extends along the thickness direction T of the base 1, and protrudes from the end faces of the first and second positioning blocks. Because the limiting strip is clamped to the support seat, when the fender installation tool is applied to different vehicle models, it can be adapted to different vehicle models by replacing limiting strips of different sizes, thus having the advantage of high applicability.

[0068] In another feasible embodiment, the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 22 are configured as the first limit block and the second limit block sequentially arranged along the width direction W of the base 1, and the gap positioning member 21 is configured as a reference block, wherein the first limit block, the second limit block and the reference block are sequentially arranged along the width direction W of the base 1 and all extend along the thickness direction T of the base 1, and one end of the reference block extending along the thickness direction T of the base 1 is higher than one end of the first limit block and the second limit block extending along the thickness direction T of the base 1.

[0069] More specifically, the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 22 may extend over the same distance or different distances along the thickness direction T of the base 1 .

[0070] In a feasible embodiment, when the vehicle model requires the outer surface of the fender 7 to be flush with the outer surface of the door outer panel 8 , the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 22 extend the same distance along the thickness direction T of the base 1 .

[0071] In another feasible embodiment, when the vehicle model requires that the outer surface of the fender 7 and the outer surface of the door outer panel 8 be designed to be uneven and have a surface difference, the first positioning member 20 and the second positioning member 22 may extend at different distances along the thickness direction T of the base 1. For example, the first positioning member 20 may extend at a greater distance than the second positioning member 22 along the thickness direction T of the base 1, or the first positioning member 20 may extend at a lesser distance than the second positioning member 22 along the thickness direction T of the base 1.

[0072] More specifically, the structure of the profiling component 30 is not limited. For example, it can be set as a combination of the base 300 and the profiling block 310, or it can be set as an integrally formed profiling component.

[0073] In one feasible embodiment, at least two of the multiple profiling members 30 are located at the edges of the base 1 along the width direction W of the base 1. The profiling members 30 include a base 300 and a profiling block 310. One end of the base 300 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the other end extends along the thickness direction T of the base 1 and is fixedly connected to one end of the profiling block 310. The other end of the profiling block 310 extends in the thickness direction T of the base 1. Because the structure of the profiling block 310 varies for different vehicle models, when the fender installation tool is used on different vehicle models, the profiling block 310 is preferably fixedly and detachably connected to the base 300 to facilitate replacement of the profiling block 310. It should be noted that the number of the multiple profiling members 30 can be two, three, five, etc., and those skilled in the art can design the profiling block 310 according to their needs. This embodiment does not limit this.

[0074] Specifically, by setting the base 300, the shape of the base 300 can be set so that the base 300 can extend along the width direction W of the base 1, thereby providing more installation space for setting the contoured component 30, thereby reducing the overall weight of the tool, and making the tool have the advantage of being light.

[0075] More specifically, the end face of the other end of the profiling block 310 can be set as a profiling surface, so that when the end face of the profiling block 310 is in contact with the outer surface of the lower part of the fender, it can be in contact with the outer surface of the lower part of the fender according to the shape of the outer surface of the lower part of the fender, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the step difference between the outer surface of the lower part of the fender and the fender bracket 9.

[0076] In another achievable embodiment, the multiple contour-forming members 30 are configured as a plurality of integrally molded imitation pieces spaced apart along the width direction W of the base 1. Each of the multiple imitation pieces is fixedly connected to the base 1 at one end along its extension direction, and the end surfaces of the other ends of the multiple imitation pieces are configured to mate with the lower portion of the fender. Furthermore, at least two of the multiple imitation pieces are located at the edge of the base 1 along the width direction W of the base 1. It should be understood that the imitation pieces are preferably removably secured to the base 1 by screwing or snapping. The number of the multiple imitation pieces can be two, four, five, etc., and those skilled in the art can design them based on their needs.

[0077] It should be noted that the end surface of the other end of the imitation piece can be set as a contoured surface, so as to achieve the purpose of improving the applicability of the imitation piece.

[0078] Furthermore, in the implementation method disclosed in this embodiment, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the structure and arrangement of the base 1 are further explained below.

[0079] In a feasible embodiment, the base 1 includes a first connecting seat 10 and a second connecting seat 11, the first connecting seat 10 is fixedly connected to the second connecting seat 11, and, in the height direction H of the base 1, the first connecting seat 10 is located above the second connecting seat 11, wherein the first positioning component 2 is fixedly installed on one side of the first connecting seat 10, and the second positioning component 3 and the fixing component 4 are installed on one side of the second connecting seat 11.

[0080] It should be understood that the preferred fixed connection method between the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 11 can be screwing, riveting and clamping, so as to achieve a shape that is easy to replace tools, thereby achieving the purpose of adapting to the assembly requirements of the fender 7 of different models.

[0081] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the first connecting seat 10 and the second connecting seat 11 are arranged in an "L" shape, wherein the first connecting seat 10 is set along the width direction W of the base 1, and the second connecting seat 11 is set along the height direction H of the base 1; thereby achieving the purpose of preventing the contoured component 30 from fitting into the outer surface of the lower part of the door outer panel 8 when the fender 7 is installed.

[0082] Furthermore, in the implementation method disclosed in this embodiment, if Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the tool for fender installation further includes a fixing component 4, and the structure and arrangement of the fixing component 4 are further explained below.

[0083] In a feasible embodiment, the fixing component 4 is arranged on the lower part of the base 1 and is used to be fixed to the fender bracket 9, and the second positioning component 3 and the fixing component 4 are located on the same side of the base 1 in the thickness direction T of the base 1; wherein, in the height direction H of the base 1, the fixing component 4 is located below the second positioning component 3.

[0084] Specifically, by setting up the fixing component 4, when using the tool, the fender 7 can be pre-positioned to the fender 7 installation position in advance, which is convenient for the staff to subsequently adjust the surface difference gap between the fender 7 and the upper outer surface of the door outer panel 8, and adjust the step difference between the fender 7 and the fender bracket 9 to achieve the adjustment of the surface difference between the fender 7 and the door sill trim.

[0085] More specifically, the structure of the fixing component 4 is not limited, and those skilled in the art can design it according to their own needs.

[0086] In one achievable embodiment, the fixing assembly 4 includes an I-shaped positioning block 40 and a plurality of positioning pins 41. One end of the I-shaped positioning block 40 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the other end extends along the thickness direction T of the base 1. The plurality of positioning pins 41 are spaced apart on the other end of the I-shaped positioning block 40, and at least two of the plurality of positioning pins 41 are located at the edge of the other end of the I-shaped positioning block 40 along the width direction W of the base 1. The plurality of positioning pins 41 are configured to correspond one-to-one with and fit into the plurality of positioning holes on the fender bracket 9. It should be understood that the number of the plurality of positioning pins 41 can be 2, 3, 5, etc., and the number of the plurality of positioning holes can be 2, 3, 5, etc.
