Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of clamps, in particular to a vertical clamp used for machining automobile engine brackets. Background Art

[0002] Engine mounts are a type of automotive engine fastener and come in two main types: torque mounts and engine mounts. Torque mounts are typically installed on the front axle of a vehicle and connected to the engine, while engine mounts are the primary components for securing and damping the engine.

[0003] Engine mounts undergo multiple machining steps during production, and they require securement during machining. A common method for supporting engine mounts is to use a cylinder to compress the mount's center plate and outer frame, securing them to a flat workbench. This is then processed using external equipment or manual labor. However, this method has some drawbacks. Due to the relatively large size of the engine mount, manual machining (typically performed on individual locations or single-point inspections) can make it difficult to reach distant locations on the mount, hindering efficiency.

The compression spring 9 is sleeved on the limit rod 6, and one end is fixedly connected to the card plate 10, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical plate 8; a rubber pad 4 is provided on the side wall of the limit splint 5 and the fastening splint 2 facing the vertical plate 8; the fastening splint 2, the pull rod 3 and the vertical plate 8 are provided with multiple groups of through holes 15 corresponding to each other, and multiple pull rods 3 pass through the through holes 15, one end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plate 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fastening splint 2; the fixed plate 13 is fixedly connected to the external manipulator; a handle 1 is provided at the center of the outer wall of the limit splint 5.

[0019] The detailed connection means are well known in the art. The following mainly introduces the working principle and process, which are as follows:

[0020] According to the instruction manual Figure 1-2It can be seen that in the present invention, the fixed plate 13 support mechanism is fixedly connected to match the height of the person. Of course, it is best to be fixedly connected to an external manipulator. The manipulator can perform vertical, horizontal and rotational operations to increase the flexibility of the use of the present invention. The manipulator is an existing technology. During operation, the telescopic end of the cylinder 12 pushes the push plate 11, the pull rod 3 and the fastening splint 2 to move outward, that is, to make the fastening splint 2 away from the vertical plate 8, leaving enough space. The engine bracket includes an outer frame 16 and an intermediate plate 17. It is a prior art. The outer frame 16 of the engine bracket is put on the pull rod 3, and the personnel pulls the limiting splint 5 to the side away from the vertical plate 8, and puts the intermediate plate 17 between the limiting splint 5 and the vertical plate 8. The personnel let go, and due to the force of the elastic member, the limiting splint 5 tends to be pressed against the vertical plate 8, so that the intermediate plate 17 can be clamped. It is precisely because it is clamped by the elastic member that the position of the engine bracket can be manually adjusted. After the adjustment is completed, the telescopic end of the cylinder 12 contracts to drive the push plate 11, the pull rod 3 and the fastening splint 2 to move toward the side of the vertical plate 8, thereby The outer frame 16 of the engine bracket is clamped to fix the outer wall. The vertical plate 8 is vertically arranged with the fixed plate 13 and fixedly connected by the fixing rod 14. The vertical plate 8 is stable as a whole. The pull rod 3 can move horizontally in the through hole 15, and the limit rod 6 moves horizontally in the limit hole 7, which ensures the stability of movement. Compared with the method of flatly fixing on the workbench in the prior art, the utility model supports the middle plate 17 and the outer frame 16 of the engine bracket through the limit rod 6 and the pull rod 3. The force of the elastic part causes the limit clamping plate 5 to clamp the middle plate 17, and the cylinder 12 drives the fastening clamping plate 2 to clamp the outer frame 16, so that the engine bracket is fixed on the vertical plate 8 in a vertical manner, facing the personnel, which is convenient for the personnel to process any position of the engine bracket, reducing the difficulty of operation and improving the processing efficiency.

[0021] The elastic member includes a compression spring 9 and a clamping plate 10. The end of the limit rod 6 corresponding to the end closest to the fixed plate 13 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 10. The compression spring 9 is sleeved on the limit rod 6, with one end fixedly connected to the clamping plate 10 and the other end fixedly connected to the side wall of the vertical plate 8. During operation, when the limit clamping plate 5 moves away from the vertical plate 8, the limit rod 6 and clamping plate 10 move to the right, compressing the compression spring 9 and accumulating force. When the operator releases the limit clamping plate 5, the force of the compression spring 9 causes the limit rod 6 and limit clamping plate 5 to clamp the middle plate 17 of the engine bracket, facilitating fixing and removal, as well as fine-tuning the position of the engine bracket.

[0022] Among them, the side walls of the limiting clamp plate 5 and the fastening clamp plate 2 facing the vertical plate 8 are provided with rubber pads 4, which can not only avoid scratching the engine bracket, but also increase the friction between them, making the fixation more stable.

[0023] Among them, multiple groups of through holes 15 on the fastening splint 2, the pull rod 3 and the vertical plate 8 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence, and multiple pull rods 3 pass through the through holes 15, one end of which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the push plate 11, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fastening splint 2, thereby increasing the clamping area of ​​the engine bracket outer frame 16 and improving the stability of the clamping.

[0024] Among them, a handle 1 is provided at the center position of the outer side wall of the limiting splint 5 to facilitate personnel to operate the limiting splint 5.

[0025] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
