Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automatic clamping devices, in particular to an automatic clamping device with a positioning device for manufacturing automobile parts. Background Art
[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, the requirements for component precision and processing efficiency are increasing. Especially for long and complex-shaped automotive parts, the clamping process is particularly critical during processing. Traditional manual clamping methods are not only inefficient but also difficult to ensure clamping stability and accuracy, making them difficult to meet the demands of modern production lines.
[0003] Existing automated clamping devices often lack sufficient clamping force and a flexible clamping range for long, complex automotive parts, making them difficult to meet the demands of high-precision machining. Furthermore, traditional clamping devices rely on manual judgment of part position during the clamping process, which is susceptible to human error. This can lead to inaccurate clamping positions, potentially damaging the part surface or internal structure, and reducing product quality.
[0004] In summary, in the existing technology of automobile parts manufacturing, especially when processing longer parts, there are problems such as inappropriate clamping devices and easy errors in clamping positions, which seriously restrict the improvement of production efficiency and product quality. Therefore, the development of an automobile parts clamping device with a positioning device is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by technical personnel in this field.

[0019] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automated clamping device with a positioning device for manufacturing automobile parts includes a support 1, a crossbeam 2, a positioning column 3, a first clamp 4 and a second clamp 5.
[0020] The crossbeam 2 is mounted on the support 1 and has a plurality of mounting holes 21 . The mounting holes 21 are used to adjust the positions of the positioning column 3 , the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 to accommodate workpieces of different lengths.
[0021] A first locating pin 31 is provided at the front end of the positioning post 3. This pin is inserted into a positioning hole in the workpiece to achieve precise positioning. A first sensor 32 is located on the side of the first locating pin 31. When the first locating pin 31 is fully inserted into the positioning hole in the workpiece, the first sensor 32 will receive a detection signal, confirming that positioning is complete.
[0022] The first clamp 4 includes a first rear clamping plate 41, a first clamping head 42, and a first cylinder 43. The first clamping head 42 is controlled by the first cylinder 43 to achieve a clamping action. When the first cylinder 43 is working, the first rear clamping plate 41 and the first clamping head 42 will close together, completing the clamping of a portion of the workpiece.
[0023] A second positioning pin 44 and a second sensor 45 are also provided on the side of the first rear clamping plate 41. The second positioning pin 44 is used to insert into another positioning hole of the workpiece to further position the workpiece. When the workpiece is fully inserted into the second positioning pin 44 and positioned, the second sensor 45 will receive a detection signal, confirming that positioning is complete.
[0024] The second clamp 5 has a similar structure to the first clamp 4, including a second rear clamping plate 51, a second clamping head 52, and a second air cylinder 53. The second clamping head 52 is controlled by the second air cylinder 53 to achieve clamping. When the second air cylinder 53 is activated, the second rear clamping plate 51 and the second clamping head 52 close together, thereby clamping the workpiece together with the first clamp 4.
[0025] The device further includes a solenoid valve 6. When the first sensor 32 and the second sensor 45 receive detection signals, they transmit the detection signals to the solenoid valve 6. After receiving the signals, the solenoid valve 6 controls the movement of the first cylinder 43 and the second cylinder 53, so that the first clamp 4 and the second clamp 5 complete the clamping of the workpiece.
[0026] In this embodiment, a plurality of adjustment holes 33 are provided on the positioning column 3. The first positioning pin 31 and the first sensor 32 can be fixed on different adjustment holes 33 according to the thickness of the workpiece to adapt to workpieces of different thicknesses.
[0027] Specific steps:
[0028] During use, first, the positioning column 3, the first clamp 4, and the second clamp 5 are fixed to the corresponding mounting holes 21 on the crossbeam 2 according to the length of the workpiece. Then, the positions of the first positioning pin 31 and the first sensor 32 in the adjustment hole 33 on the positioning column 3 are adjusted according to the thickness of the workpiece. When the workpiece is placed in place, the first positioning pin 31 and the second positioning pin 44 are respectively inserted into the positioning holes of the workpiece. After the first sensor 32 and the second sensor 45 detect that they are in place, they transmit a signal to the solenoid valve 6. After receiving the signal, the solenoid valve 6 controls the movement of the first cylinder 43 and the second cylinder 53, so that the first rear clamp 41 and the first clamp head 42, and the second rear clamp 51 and the second clamp head 52 are closed front and back, completing the clamping of the workpiece.
