Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of automobile doors, and more specifically relates to an automobile door handle installation device. Background Art

[0002] The gap and flushness between the vehicle's door and the hidden handle are highly sensitive areas of appearance perception. A well-defined gap and flushness can demonstrate lean manufacturing, improve exterior quality, and thus boost market acceptance. The vehicle's door handle is manually assembled onto the hidden handle, which is then assembled with tooling to ensure the required clearance. Currently, most OEMs assemble hidden door handles based on actual vehicle specifications. This process, influenced by the precision and process of the door and hidden door handle, results in lengthy adjustment times and a high risk of sheet metal and paint damage. This reduces vehicle production efficiency and quality, resulting in significant cost losses. Therefore, a tooling design that enables precise adjustment and minimizes vehicle damage is highly desirable. In summary, the drawbacks of the existing technology are that the hidden door handle is physically assembled onto the vehicle door. Due to fluctuations in the precision of the inner and outer panels of the door assembly, the gap and flushness between the front door outer panel and the hidden door handle are manually adjusted to meet the required dimensions. This process, however, is time-consuming and carries a high risk of sheet metal and paint damage.

[0003] The prior art includes a technology titled "A hidden door handle installation tool" with publication (announcement) number "CN215168989U." This technology provides a hidden door handle installation tool, belonging to the field of automotive assembly technology. It addresses the poor versatility of existing hidden door handle installation tools. This hidden door handle installation tool includes a positioning block with a positioning surface for positioning on the door sheet metal. Several positioning tabs are detachably attached to the positioning block, each of which has one end protruding from the positioning surface. This hidden door handle installation tool offers greater versatility.

[0004] However, this technology does not involve the technical problems and technical solutions of the present application. Utility Model Content
