DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0032] The following is a specific embodiment of the present application and further describes the technical scheme of the present application in combination with the drawings, but the present application is not limited to these embodiments.
[0033] The present application discloses a kind of blade assembly tool for automobile air outlet, for realizing the assembly between connecting rod 1, shell 2 and multiple blades 3, assembly tool includes: workbench 4;Positioning seat 5, it is connected on workbench 4, positioning seat 5 is used to position the shell 2 to be assembled;First moving seat 6, it is movably arranged on workbench 4 and at the side of positioning seat 5, first moving seat 6 has moving channel 7 along the direction perpendicular to the moving direction of first moving seat 6, and positioning groove 8 corresponding to blade 3 parallel to the moving direction of first moving seat 6, moving channel 7 is communicated with each positioning groove 8, and positioning groove 8 is used to position the blade 3 to be assembled;Fixing member 9, it is movably arranged in moving channel 7 and has initial position on first moving seat 6 and working position, when fixing member 9 is located in initial position, it is used to leave positioning groove 8, for blade 3 to enter positioning groove 8, when fixing member 9 is in working position, it is used to press blade 3 in positioning groove 8;Second moving seat 10, it is movably connected on workbench 4 and at the side of first moving seat 6 away from positioning seat 5, second moving seat 10 is used to install connecting rod 1 to blade 3.
[0034] Based on the above embodiment, an exemplary structure of the present application is shown in Figures 1 to 7 . Among them, the two sides of shell 2 need to be connected with blade 3 and connecting rod 1. Therefore, first moving seat 6 and second moving seat 10 are arranged on both sides of positioning seat 5 in the present application. As shown in Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the distance between the two first movable seats 6 is greater than the distance between the housing 2 Figure 2 The width of the housing 2 is adjusted so that the housing 2 can be placed on the positioning seat 5, the fixing member 9 is in the initial position, and the positioning groove 8 is in the open state. At this time, the blade 3 can be placed in the positioning groove 8. After the blade 3, housing 2 and connecting rod 1 are placed respectively, the fixing member 9 moves from the initial position to the working position (such as Figure 3 As shown, the blade 3 is fixed in the positioning groove 8. Subsequently, the two second movable seats 10 first move toward the center positioning seat 5, driving the connecting rod 1 toward the blade 3. After the connecting rod 1 contacts the blade 3, the two first movable seats 6 also move toward the center positioning seat 5, fixing the two sides of the blade 3 to the connecting rod 1 and the housing 2 respectively. Then, the first movable seat 6 and the second movable seat 10 are reset, and the fixing member 9 moves back from the working position to the initial position, allowing the assembled semi-finished air outlet to be removed from the tooling.
[0035] In this solution, by providing a fixing member 9 on the first movable seat 6, the blade 3 is fixed in the positioning groove 8 before the blade 3 is assembled, ensuring that the blade 3 will not be positionally shifted during the assembly process, ensuring the assembly quality of the blade 3, and preventing the blade 3 from being damaged due to interference with other assembly parts (housing 2 and / or connecting rod 1) during the assembly process.
[0036] The fixing member 9 has a support rod 11 , on which pressing rods 12 corresponding to the blades 3 are provided. One end of the pressing rod 12 away from the support rod 11 extends along the direction of the moving channel 7 to form a pressing portion 13 .
[0037] When the fixing member 9 is in the initial position, the pressing portion 13 moves out from above the positioning groove 8, leaving the positioning groove 8 in an open state. When the fixing member 9 moves from the initial position to the working position, the pressing portion 13 moves to just above the positioning groove 8 and presses on the upper end of the blade 3, fixing the blade 3 in the positioning groove 8.
[0038] The positioning groove 8 passes through the first movable seat 6 on both sides along the moving direction of the first movable seat 6, which is used to expose the mounting portion 16 on the blade 3 to the outside of the first movable seat 6, thereby facilitating the connection between the two sides of the blade 3 and the connecting rod 1 and the shell 2 respectively.
[0039] A support plate 14 is connected to one side of the first movable seat 6 close to the second movable seat 10 , and a support portion 15 corresponding to each blade 3 is provided on the support plate 14 . The support portion 15 is used to support the mounting portion 16 to keep the blade 3 fixed on the first movable seat 6 .
[0040] A receiving groove 17 is provided on the side of the second movable seat 10 facing the first movable seat 6, and a positioning column 18 is movably provided on the second movable seat 10. The receiving groove 17 is used to place the connecting rod 1 to be assembled. The positioning column 18 can be retracted into the second movable seat 10 when the second movable seat 10 moves toward the direction of the first movable seat 6 until it abuts against the blade 3.
[0041] The receiving groove 17 is used to accommodate the connecting rod 1. When the connecting rod 1 is placed in the receiving groove 17, the positioning post 18 passes through the connecting rod 1, so that the connecting rod 1 is firmly placed in the receiving groove 17. When the second movable seat 10 moves toward the first movable seat 6, so that the positioning post 18 touches the blade 3, the positioning post 18 retracts into the second movable seat 10 to avoid interfering with the installation between the connecting rod 1 and the blade 3.
[0042] This solution also includes: a first driving member 19, which is connected to the workbench 4, and the second movable seat 10 is connected to the output end of the first driving member 19; a rest block 20, which is connected to the first driving member 19, and the second movable seat 10 is provided with a through hole for installing the positioning column 18, one end of the positioning column 18 passes through the through hole and movably rests against the rest block 20; a second driving member 21, which is connected to the first movable seat 6, and the fixing member 9 is connected to the output end of the second driving member 21, for driving the fixing member 9 to move on the first movable seat 6; a sensor 24, which is connected to the second driving member 21, for detecting whether the fixing member 9 has moved to the working position; a third driving member 22, which is uprightly arranged on the workbench 4, and the output end of the third driving member 22 is connected to a pressing block 23, and the pressing block 23 movably presses on the upper end of the shell 2; a fourth driving member 27, which is connected to the workbench, and the first movable seat is connected to the output end of the fourth driving member 27.
[0043] The first driving member 19, the second driving member 21, the third driving member 22 and the fourth driving member 27 are respectively used to realize the movement of the second movable seat 10, the fixing member 9, the pressing block 23 and the first movable seat 6 on the workbench 4. When the connecting rod 1 is placed in the receiving groove 17, the abutting block 20 fixes the positioning column 18 to realize the stable placement of the connecting rod 1 in the receiving groove 17. In addition, when the first driving member 19 drives the second movable seat 10 to move toward the first movable seat 6, the abutting block 20 separates from the second movable seat 10, realizing the function of retracting the positioning column 18 into the second movable seat 10. The sensor 24 is used to monitor the status of the fixing member 9 in real time. When the blade 3 is offset in the positioning groove 8 or is not fully placed in place, when the second driving member 21 drives the fixing member 9 to move, if the fixing member 9 cannot be moved to the working position, an alarm will be issued to prompt the operator to readjust the position of the blade 3 to ensure the normal installation of the blade 3. The third driving member 22 drives the pressing block 23 to press on the housing 2 to prevent the housing 2 from being shifted during the assembly process, thereby ensuring the assembly quality of the air outlet.
[0044] This solution also includes a first air duct and a second air duct, as well as a first pressure-regulating valve 25 and a second pressure-regulating valve 26. The first driving member 19, the second driving member 21, the third driving member 22 and the fourth driving member 27 are all cylinders. The first air duct is used to supply air to the first driving member 19, the third driving member 22 and the fourth driving member 27, and the first pressure-regulating valve 25 is used to control the air pressure of the first air duct. The second air duct is used to supply air to the second driving member 21, and the second pressure-regulating valve 26 is used to control the air pressure of the second air duct.
[0045] When blade 3 is thin (approximately 2 mm), the driving pressure of second driver 21 cannot be too high. Otherwise, if blade 3 is not fully positioned, second driver 21 will forcibly drive fixing member 9 to secure blade 3. This can damage blade 3 due to incorrect assembly position and render sensor 24 inoperable. However, if first driver 19, second driver 21, third driver 22, and fourth driver 27 share a common air passage, and the air pressure within the air passage is adjusted to a very low level, the first driver 19, third driver 22, and fourth driver 27 will not be able to be properly assembled between blade 3, connecting rod 1, and housing 2 due to the low air pressure required to operate them. To address this issue, two independent air passages are provided in this solution: a first air passage is used to supply air to first driver 19, third driver 22, and fourth driver 27; a second air passage is used to supply air solely to second driver 21. In this way, when the air pressure of the second driving member 21 is lowered by the second pressure regulating valve 26 , the driving pressures of the first driving member 19 , the third driving member 22 and the fourth driving member 27 will not be affected.
