[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a front-end module fixture includes a connecting frame 1, an adjustment assembly 3 disposed at the top of the connecting frame 1, and a clamp assembly disposed at the bottom of the connecting frame 1, with the clamp assemblies disposed on either side of the connecting frame 1. Positioning pins 2 are disposed on the inner sides of the clamp assemblies on either side, and the positioning pins 2 are connected to the connecting frame 1 via fixing bases 4. When the positioning pins 2 are inserted into the mounting holes of the front-end module, positioning is completed, and the front-end module can be clamped by controlling the clamp assembly. After clamping, the front-end module is transported to a designated location for installation. Before installation, the angle of the front-end module can be adjusted by adjusting the adjustment assembly 3 until it reaches a suitable angle, and finally, the front-end module is installed in the designated location.

[0023] The connecting frame 1 includes a crossbeam 11 and two uprights 12. The two uprights 12 are mounted on the crossbeam 11 at their bottoms and have adjustment platforms 13 located on their tops. The adjustment assembly 3 is mounted on the adjustment platform 13, and the clamp assemblies are mounted on either side of the crossbeam 11. The adjustment assembly 3 can adjust the installation angle of the clamp assembly, reducing the difficulty of installing the front-end module and improving installation efficiency.

[0024] The clamp assembly includes an upper clamp 21, a lower clamp 22, a cylinder 23, a sleeve 24 and a guide column 25; the lower clamp 22 is arranged below the beam 11 through a first connecting seat 26, and the upper clamp 21 is connected to the output end of the cylinder 23, and the cylinder 23 is arranged above the beam 11 through a second connecting seat 27; the upper clamp 21 is adapted to the lower clamp 22; the sleeve 24 is arranged on the second connecting seat 27, the guide column 25 is arranged on the upper clamp 21, and the sleeve 24 is sleeved on the guide column 25. After the cylinder 23 is extended, the upper clamping hand 21 will move downward until the front-end module is clamped between the upper clamping hand 21 and the lower clamping hand 22. During the downward movement of the upper clamping hand 21, the guide post 25 will follow the upper clamping hand 21 to move downward; after the cylinder 23 is contracted, the upper clamping hand 21 will move upward until the front-end module is released from between the upper clamping hand 21 and the lower clamping hand 22. During the upward movement of the upper clamping hand 21, the guide post 25 will follow the upper clamping hand 21 to move upward. The guide post 25 and the sleeve 24 move relative to each other. The guide post 25 moves in the sleeve 24, which can improve the movement smoothness of the upper clamping hand 21 and make the movement of the upper clamping hand 21 faster and more precise.

[0025] like Figure 7As shown, the adjustment assembly 3 includes an upper adjustment seat 31, a lower adjustment seat 32, and a fixed plate 33. The lower adjustment seat 32 is connected to the adjustment platform 13, and the upper adjustment seat 31 and the lower adjustment seat 32 are compatible. The fixed plate 33 is disposed on the upper adjustment seat 31 and is used to connect to the connecting rod 34. The upper adjustment seat 31 and the lower adjustment seat 32 have the same structure, including a fixed portion 311 and a hinge portion 312. The fixed portion 311 and the hinge portion 312 are integrally formed, and the hinge portion 312 is located around the fixed portion 311. The fixed portion 311 of the upper adjustment seat 31 is connected to the fixed portion 311 of the lower adjustment seat 32 via a connecting member 36. The hinge portion 312 of the upper adjustment seat 31 is hinged to the hinge portion 312 of the lower hinge seat via a movable shaft fixing block 35. The connecting member 36 includes a fixing pin 361 and an adjustment spring 362. The fixing pin 361 has a threaded center portion. A nut is provided above the upper adjustment seat 31, and the fixing pin 361 is threadedly connected to the upper adjustment seat. The bottom of the fixing pin 361 is inserted into the lower hinge seat. The adjustment spring 362 is mounted on the fixing pin 361 and located below the upper adjustment seat. When the front-end module is clamped for installation, the adjustment assembly 3 can rotate the clamp assembly in a first direction and a second direction. The first direction is the left-right direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the horizontal direction and is the front-back direction. When a horizontal force is applied to the connecting frame 1, the adjustment spring 362 on the left side is compressed, while the adjustment spring 362 on the right side is extended. At this time, the lower adjustment disk rotates clockwise about the upper adjustment disk hinge 312. When a horizontal force is applied to the right side, the adjustment spring 362 on the right side is compressed, while the adjustment spring 362 on the left side is extended. At this time, the lower adjustment disk rotates counterclockwise about the upper adjustment disk hinge 312. Applying a forward thrust on the connecting frame 1 will cause the hinged portion 312 of the lower adjusting member of the connecting frame 1 to tilt forward axially, and applying a backward pulling force on the connecting frame 1 will cause the hinged portion 312 of the lower adjusting member of the connecting frame 1 to tilt backward axially.

[0026] like Figure 6 As shown, each column 12 is provided with a control handle 41, and each control handle 41 is provided with a control button 42. The control handle 41 can manually adjust the angle of the front-end module, and the control button 42 can control the clamping or loosening of the front-end module, and can drive the front-end module to move. The upper clamp 21 and the lower clamp 22 have the same structure, including an outer pad 211 and an inner pad 212. The outer pad 211 is located on the outside of the inner pad 212, and the height of the outer pad 211 is higher than that of the inner pad 212. The outer side of the front-end module is inside the outer pad 211, which protects the front-end module and prevents damage to the front-end module in the event of accidental collision.

[0027] Of course, the above description is not a limitation of the present invention, and the present invention is not limited to the above examples. Changes, modifications, additions or substitutions made by technicians in this technical field within the essential scope of the present invention should also fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
