[0019] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the exemplary embodiments shown in the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present application can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments described herein. These embodiments are provided herein to make the disclosure of the present application more complete and clear and to fully convey the concepts of the present application to those skilled in the art.

[0020] In addition, for any single technical feature described or implied in the embodiments mentioned in this document, or any single technical feature shown or implied in the accompanying drawings, those skilled in the art can easily think of continuing to make appropriate combinations or deletions between these technical features (or their equivalents), thereby obtaining more other embodiments of the present application that may not be directly mentioned in this document, and these embodiments do not deviate from the scope of the technical ideas of the present application.

[0021] Figure 1 The color separation positioning tool 10 (or color separation tape positioning tool) is used in the process of color registration on the rear gutter plate 20 (e.g., sheet metal) of a vehicle. The color separation positioning tool 10 is configured to be detachably attached to the rear gutter plate 20 (see FIG. Figure 2 and Figure 3). The color separation positioning tool 10 mainly includes a tool body 11 and a positioning member provided on the tool body 11. The positioning member is configured to limit the tool body 11 to a preset position on the rear water flow trough plate 20 for pasting the color separation tape. The tool body 11 is constructed as a strip-shaped member that matches the shape of the rear water flow trough plate 20, is bent and extended, and is generally asymmetric U-shaped. The asymmetric U-shape here may refer to that the extension lengths of the two sides of the U-shape are not exactly the same and / or the bending states are not completely corresponding. The strip-shaped member may have multiple bending areas such as a first bending area 111, a second bending area 112, a third bending area 113 and a fourth bending area 114, etc., to form an undulating surface to fit the surface of the rear water flow trough plate 20 to be colored. The tool body 11 may include a color separation tape pasting area 110, which may be an area with a preset width along the inner contour of the tool body 11 (i.e., the inner side of the asymmetric U-shape). The edge contour of the color separation tape application area 110 matches the preset color separation line, so that the color separation tape can be applied to the surface of the rear water trough plate 20 to be color-registered along the edge contour of the color separation tape application area 110, so that the edge of the applied color separation tape matches the preset color separation line. After the color separation tape is applied, the color separation positioning tool 10 can be removed from the rear water trough plate 20, and the subsequent color registration operation can be carried out.

[0022] Under this arrangement, the color separation positioning tool 10 described in this article realizes the convenient and accurate positioning and pasting of the color separation tape to the rear gutter panel 20, so that the edge of the color separation tape is accurately matched with the preset color separation line, avoiding the error caused by manual positioning, ensuring the effective implementation of the color matching design of the vehicle's rear gutter panel 20, and improving the color matching efficiency and the aesthetics of the color of the entire vehicle.

[0023] The following will introduce further specific implementation or refinement and improvement process of the color separation and positioning tool 10 through exemplary descriptions, so as to further improve its working efficiency, reliability or for other improvement considerations.

[0024] In a specific embodiment, the positioning member is a positioning pin 12, which is arranged on the side of the tool body 11 facing the rear water flow channel plate 20. Figure 2 A schematic diagram of the attachment process of the color separation positioning tool 10 to the rear water trough plate 20 is shown. It can be seen that the positioning pin 12 is configured to match the position of the process hole 21 on the rear water trough plate 20 to be inserted into the process hole 21 (the dotted line shows the corresponding relationship between the positioning pin 12 and the process hole 21). Thus, the existing process hole 21 on the rear water trough plate 20 is used for positioning, which reduces the need for the provision of other additional positioning structures, simplifies the process flow, and ensures that the original design structure of the rear water trough plate 20 is not damaged. Optionally, the positioning pin 12 can be configured to be threadedly connected to the tool body 11 or integrally formed with the tool body 11.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the color separation positioning tool 10 further includes a magnetic block 13, see Figure 1-3 The magnetic block 13 is embedded in the tool body 11 and is flush with the surface of the tool body 11 facing the rear water trough plate 20 so as to fit the surface of the rear water trough plate 20 together with the tool body 11 (see Figure 3 The magnetic block 13 is configured to be magnetically attracted to the rear water trough plate 20 so that the color separation positioning tool 10 is magnetically attached to the rear water trough plate 20, thereby ensuring the attachment stability of the color separation positioning tool 10 on the rear water trough plate 20, avoiding accidental displacement or falling off, and facilitating the subsequent color separation tape pasting operation.

[0026] Specifically, the tool body 11 may be provided with a magnetic block 13 mounting groove (not shown) that matches the shape of the magnetic block 13, and the magnetic block 13 may be interference fit into the magnetic block 13 mounting groove or be bonded into the magnetic block 13 mounting groove. Figure 1-3 As shown, the magnetic block 13 can be cylindrical and can be flush with or slightly protruding from the tool body 11 on the side of the tool body 11 facing away from the rear water channel plate 20. Furthermore, the color separation and positioning tool 10 can include multiple magnetic blocks 13 spaced apart on the tool body 11 to enhance attachment stability. While four magnetic blocks 13 are shown on a relatively flat surface area of ​​the tool body 11, other quantities, sizes, and arrangements of magnetic blocks 13 may be employed in other embodiments.

[0027] During the actual operation, the positioning pin 12 of the color separation positioning tool 10 is first aligned with the process hole 21 on the rear water trough plate 20, and then the tool body 11 of the color separation positioning tool 10 is attached to the rear water trough plate 20. Then, the color separation tape is attached to the rear water trough plate 20 along the edge contour of the color separation tape attachment area 110. After the attachment is completed, the color separation positioning tool 10 is removed from the rear water trough plate 20. In this way, the attachment of the color separation tape can be completed conveniently and accurately.

[0028] It should be understood that in different embodiments, the shape, size, positional relationship between the color separation positioning tool 10 and the rear water channel plate 20, the size and number of the magnetic blocks 13, and the position of the positioning pins 12 can all be determined according to the specific color registration needs and are not limited to the illustrated or described embodiments. As long as the color separation positioning tool 10 can be placed on the rear water channel plate 20 and can be firmly attached to facilitate the application of the color separation tape, it will help solve the positioning problem of the color separation tape during the application process and meet the process requirements of the rear water channel release.

[0029] The above examples primarily illustrate the color separation and positioning tool and the upper color registration tool assembly of the present application. Although only some embodiments of the present application have been described, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the present application may be implemented in many other forms without departing from its subject matter and scope. Therefore, the examples and embodiments presented are to be considered illustrative rather than restrictive, and the present application may encompass various modifications and substitutions without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present application.
