Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle production tooling technology, and in particular to a tooling for pressing in a swing arm bushing for an electric vehicle. Background Technology

[0002] The swingarm assembly in electric vehicles and motorcycles is a crucial component connecting the rear wheel to the frame. It plays a vital role in bearing loads, cooperating with the shock absorbers, and transmitting power. During assembly, bushings need to be pressed into the corresponding positions of the swingarm and frame. The bushing is the core medium between the swingarm and frame; it is a type of component that protects rigid parts. Using bushings reduces wear on the swingarm, overall vehicle vibration and noise, and also provides corrosion protection. Figure 1 One type of swing arm body is shown, with a sleeve hole on the swing arm body. A bushing needs to be pressed into the sleeve hole, and an interference fit is formed between the bushing and the sleeve hole.

[0003] In the actual pressing process, because the swing arm of the electric vehicle is irregularly shaped, it is necessary to manually hold the swing arm and place the corresponding sleeve hole under the press head. The bushing is placed above the middle of the sleeve hole, and the press head is pressed down using a press machine. When pressing the bushing, it is easy to interfere with the swing arm, and the swing arm is easy to wobble, causing the bushing to deform or crack, resulting in assembly failure. Since there is no limit to the pressing stroke, it is also easy to over-press. Over-pressing will cause damage to the main body of the swing arm, damage and misalignment of the bushing, and contact between the shock absorber fixing plate and the swing arm, thus generating resonance.

Detailed Implementation

[0026] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] like Figures 1 to 8The electric vehicle swing arm bushing press-fit fixture shown includes a base 1, an upper pressure plate 2, and a connecting plate 3. The connecting plate 3 is used to connect a power source, i.e., a press. Guide slide rods 4 are provided on both sides of the base 1. Sliding holes are provided at both ends of the upper pressure plate 2, and the sliding holes are sleeved on the guide slide rods 4. A pressure plate return spring 401 is provided between the upper pressure plate 2 and the base 1. The pressure plate return spring 401 is sleeved on the outside of the guide slide rods 4. At least two end face positioning components 6 are provided on the base 1. An upper pressure head 8 is provided on the lower surface of the upper pressure plate 2. The upper pressure head 8 is paired with the end face positioning components and is located directly above the corresponding end face positioning component 6. A lifting plate 9 is provided on one side of the base 1, and each end face positioning component 6 corresponds to a lifting plate.

[0029] Specifically, the end face positioning component 6 includes an end face positioning sleeve 601, an end face positioning block 602, and a guide post 603. The end face positioning block 602 is fixedly installed inside the end face positioning sleeve 601, and the guide post 603 is provided above the end face positioning block 602. The lower surface of the upper pressure head 7 corresponding to the end face positioning component 6 is provided with a blind hole 701, and the guide post 603 can be inserted into the blind hole 701.

[0030] Specifically, the end face positioning sleeve 601 is provided on the mounting block 7, and the mounting block 7 is fixed to the base 1 by bolts.

[0031] Specifically, the base 1 is provided with limiting posts 5 at its four corners, and the upper pressure plate 2 is provided with limiting holes at its four corners. The limiting posts 5 pass through the limiting holes. The upper end of the limiting posts 5 is provided with an upper limiting ring 501, and the limiting posts 5 are provided with a lower limiting ring 502. The upper limiting ring 501 and the lower limiting ring 502 are located above and below the limiting holes, respectively. The distance between the upper limiting ring 501 and the lower limiting ring 502 is set according to the pressing distance of the bushing 10. The upper limiting ring 501 is used to limit the upper position of the upper pressure plate 2 to prevent the upper pressure plate 2 from coming out under the elastic force of the pressure plate return spring 401. The lower limiting ring 502 is used to limit the lower position of the upper pressure plate 2 to prevent over-pressing.

[0032] Specifically, the limiting post 5 includes an upper limiting ring 501, a lower limiting ring 502, and an intermediate screw 503. The upper limiting ring 501 is fixed to the top of the intermediate screw 503, and the lower limiting ring 502 is assembled on the intermediate screw 503 by a threaded connection, which facilitates the adjustment of the distance between the upper and lower limiting rings and is suitable for bushings 10 with different pressing depths or different thicknesses. The bottom of the intermediate screw 503 is fixed to the base 1 by a threaded connection.

[0033] Specifically, the sliding hole is provided with an anti-wear sliding sleeve 201, and the upper edge of the anti-wear sliding sleeve 201 is provided with an outer edge 202. The outer edge 202 is fixed to the upper surface of the upper pressure plate 2 by bolts. The anti-wear sliding sleeve 201 is located outside the guide slide rod 4, which plays the role of anti-wear. It is also convenient to replace after wear, thus reducing maintenance costs.

[0034] Specifically, the end of the lifting plate 9 away from the base 1 is provided with a positioning block 901, which is used to lock the reinforcing rib or connecting ear below the swing arm to prevent the swing arm body 11 from shaking.

[0035] Specifically, the side wall of the base 1 is provided with multiple sets of side ears 101, and the side ears 101 are fitted with fixing bolts 102 by threaded connection, which are used to assemble the base 1 on different workbenches for easy installation and disassembly.

[0036] like Figure 1 , 2 As shown in Figures 3 and 4, this embodiment is provided with two end face positioning components 6 of different sizes, which are respectively used for the large sleeve hole 1101 and the small sleeve hole 1102 at both ends of the swing arm body 11. The large sleeve hole 1101 needs to be fitted with a large bushing, and the small sleeve hole 1102 needs to be fitted with a small bushing. The two ends are respectively equipped with end face positioning components 6 and upper pressure heads 8 of corresponding sizes. Each end face positioning component 6 corresponds to a lifting plate 9, which is used to support the corresponding swing arm body. In use, the sleeve hole of the swing arm body 11 is passed through the guide post 603 and placed on the upper surface of the end face positioning sleeve 601. Then, the bushing 10 is fitted on the guide post 603, located above the sleeve hole. The power source is started, and the upper pressure plate 2 drives the upper pressure head 8 to press the bushing 10 down, so that the bushing 10 is pressed into the sleeve hole, completing the press-fitting work.

[0037] Example 2

[0038] like Figure 9The electric vehicle swing arm bushing press-in fixture shown includes an end face positioning component 6 comprising an end face positioning sleeve 601, an end face positioning block 602, and a guide post 603. The end face positioning sleeve 601 houses the end face positioning block 602, which can slide along the end face positioning sleeve 601. A guide post 603 is located above the end face positioning block 602. A blind hole 701 is provided on the lower surface of the upper press head 7 corresponding to the end face positioning component 6, into which the guide post 603 can be inserted. An adjusting screw hole is provided below the end face positioning block 602, and an adjusting bolt 604 is fitted into the adjusting screw hole. The adjusting bolt 604 passes through a through hole in the base 1 and can slide along the through hole. The lower end of the adjusting bolt 604 is provided with a limiting nut head 606, which is located below the through hole of the base 1. The lower surface of the base 1 has an clearance groove 103, and the limiting nut head 606 is located in the clearance groove 103 to facilitate the flattening of the base 1. A positioning return spring 605 is provided between the end face positioning block 602 and the base 1. The positioning return spring 605 is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting bolt 604 and does not contact the adjusting bolt. Under the action of the positioning return spring 605, the end face positioning block 602 is 2 to 3 mm higher than the end face positioning sleeve 601 and protrudes outside the end face positioning sleeve 601. Its function is to use the protrusion for positioning after the swing arm is placed.

[0039] See tooling idle status Figure 9 There is a 2-3mm height difference between the end face of the guide post and the end face of the swing arm. The first function is to use the protrusion for positioning after the swing arm body 11 is placed, and to place the bushing 10 through the guide post 603 onto the swing arm body 11.

[0040] Taking the large bushing as an example, press the power source, i.e., the press machine. The press head pushes the upper pressure plate 2, which in turn drives the upper pressure head 8 to slowly press the large bushing into the sleeve hole of the swing arm body 11. When the upper pressure plate 2 contacts the lower limit ring 5, after pressing for about 3 seconds, the guide column 603 is pushed down by the large bushing 11 and compresses the positioning return spring 605 to avoid it. The pressing work is completed. After releasing the press machine handle and taking out the parts, the reciprocating assembly work is carried out.

[0041] This utility model is not limited to the described embodiments. Anyone should know that any structural changes made under the guidance of this utility model, and any technical solutions that are the same as or similar to this utility model, fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
