Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive painting technology, and in particular to a positioning aid for painting four doors of automobiles. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, automobile manufacturers use painting tools during the painting process to improve the painting quality of the car body and related structural components. The structure and usage of these painting tools vary depending on the vehicle model and the area to be painted.
[0003] Traditional automotive four-door painting relies on two auxiliary devices: limiters and isolators, to ensure painting quality. Currently, many car factories use robotic internal painting. Some painting methods using spring limiters cannot achieve automatic opening of the four doors, thus preventing automatic painting of the car's four doors.
[0004] Some automakers use a painting method that combines four-door hinge limiters with door sill isolators. This method has drawbacks such as complex design, large size of the accessories, and cumbersome installation. Especially after repeated use, paint easily accumulates and is difficult to clean. Furthermore, the bolts are easily damaged after repeated use, making installation and disassembly difficult. This results in numerous discolored particles on the four door sills and difficulties in installing and removing the accessories, reducing the pass rate of the four doors and door sills and significantly hindering production speed.
[0005] Some car manufacturers have also designed and developed new four-door painting and spraying fixtures, but the results have not been ideal. Some designs are complex, difficult to operate, and time-consuming to install and remove, affecting production rhythm; others are cumbersome to manufacture and have problems such as poor durability, poor versatility, and high manufacturing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a positioning auxiliary tool for painting four doors of automobiles, addressing the above-mentioned shortcomings.
[0007] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0008] A positioning aid for painting four doors of an automobile includes an aid body, an aid base, a process hole mounting plug, a door frame stop edge groove, and a magnetic snap fastener. The aid base extends outward from one side of the aid body, and the process hole mounting plug extends outward from the aid base. The door frame stop edge groove is provided on the other side of the aid body, with the opening direction of the door frame stop edge groove aligned with the direction of the process hole mounting plug. A magnetic snap fastener for engaging with the front or rear door is provided on the other side of the aid body, away from the door frame stop edge groove.
[0009] Furthermore, in the aforementioned positioning aid for painting four doors of a car, when the four doors of the car are being painted, the process hole mounting plug is inserted into the process hole inside the B-pillar and the rear side panel, the door frame stop edge slot is engaged with the stop edge of the front door or rear door frame to fasten the front door or rear door, and the magnetic buckle is attracted to the inside of the front door or rear door.
[0010] Furthermore, in the aforementioned positioning aid for painting four doors of an automobile, the relative position and angle of the magnetic buckle and the door frame stop edge groove control the distance between the front door or rear door and the front door or rear door frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the aforementioned positioning aid for painting four doors of an automobile has front and rear door anti-misalignment markings on its main body.
[0012] Furthermore, in the aforementioned positioning aid for painting four doors of an automobile, the magnetic buckle is wrapped with a protective sleeve.
[0013] Furthermore, in the aforementioned positioning fixture for painting four doors of an automobile, the width of the fixture base is greater than the width of the process hole mounting plug.
[0014] The advantages and effects of this utility model are:
[0015] 1. The positioning fixture for automotive four-door painting provided by this utility model uses a process hole mounting plug, a door frame stop edge groove, and a magnetic buckle to fix the four automotive doors (two front doors and two rear doors).

[0023] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the structure of a positioning aid for painting four doors of an automobile provided by this utility model. The positioning aid 10 includes an aid body 7, an aid base 2, a process hole mounting plug 1, a door frame stop edge groove 3, and a magnetic buckle 5. The aid body 7 is a plate-like structure, having one opposite side and another side, i.e. Figure 1 The main body 7 of the assistive device has an upper and lower surface; it also has a opposite side and another side, namely Figure 1 The left and right sides of the main body 7 of the assistive device, with the left and right sides forming a parallel or non-parallel structure. One side of the main body 7 along its side edge ( Figure 1 The auxiliary fixture base 2 extends outward from the left side of the main body 7, and the auxiliary fixture base 2 extends outward to form a process hole for mounting the plug 1. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the process hole mounting plug 1 is used to insert into the process hole inside the B-pillar and rear side panel to position the positioning auxiliary fixture. The shape and size of the process hole mounting plug 1 and the auxiliary fixture base 2 are set according to the shape and size of the process hole inside the B-pillar and rear side panel and the inner side of the front or rear door frame stop edge. Specifically, the size of the process hole mounting plug 1 matches the process hole inside the B-pillar and rear side panel. The process hole inside the B-pillar and rear side panel should be a small hole with a diameter of about 5mm to facilitate stable positioning and firm installation. The inner structure of the auxiliary fixture base 2 is set according to the inner structure of the B-pillar and rear side panel, and the inner side of the auxiliary fixture base 2 is stably fitted to the inner side of the B-pillar and rear side panel. The width of the auxiliary fixture base 2 is greater than the width of the process hole mounting plug 1, making the structure more stable. The other side of the auxiliary fixture body 7 ( Figure 1 A door frame stop edge groove 3 is provided on the right side of the main body 7 of the auxiliary fixture. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the door frame stop edge slot 3 is used to snap onto the stop edge of the front or rear door frame, and works with the process hole mounting plug 1 to fix the positioning accessory to the front or rear door frame. Specifically, the door frame stop edge slot 3 is a through slot from one side of the accessory body 7 to the other side, and its opening direction is in the same direction as the direction of the process hole mounting plug 1. This same direction means approximately the same direction, and the extension line of the opening direction of the door frame stop edge slot 3 is parallel or not parallel to the extension line of the direction of the process hole mounting plug 1. The other side of the accessory body 7 ( Figure 1 A magnetic latch 5, which can be attracted to the front or rear door, is installed on the right side of the main body 7 of the auxiliary fixture, away from the door frame stop edge slot 3. The relative position and angle between the magnetic latch 5 and the door frame stop edge slot 3 control the distance between the front or rear door and the door frame. Specifically, the magnetic latch 5 is a cylindrical structure. The angle formed by the height line of this cylinder and the extension line of the opening direction of the door frame stop edge slot 3, as well as the position of the magnetic latch 5 relative to the door frame stop edge slot 3, can be set according to the actual required distance between the front or rear door and the door frame, the car model, etc.
[0024] When painting the four doors of a car, the assembly process of this positioning fixture is as follows: the process hole mounting plug 1 is inserted into the process hole on the B-pillar and the inner side of the rear panel; the door frame stop edge slot 3 is engaged with the stop edge of the front or rear door frame, fastening the front or rear door; and the magnetic buckle 5 is stably attracted to the inner side of the front or rear door. Under the action of this positioning fixture, the front and rear doors are fixed. By rationally designing the size and magnetic force of the magnetic buckle 5, the firmness of the attraction is controlled. By rationally designing the relative position and angle between the magnetic buckle 5 and the door frame stop edge slot 3, the consistency of the outer surfaces of the front and rear doors and sides is controlled, facilitating robot contouring and thus improving the painting quality. Simultaneously, the contact position between the magnetic buckle 5 and the inner panel of the four doors should be designed on a plane within the installation position of the four door panels to ensure painting quality and fixing strength. The disassembly steps are the reverse of the assembly process.
[0025] Depending on the vehicle model design, the positions of the process holes on the B-pillar and rear side panel differ from the positions of the door frame stop edges of the four doors. Therefore, the positioning fixtures for the front and rear doors may be interchangeable or incompatible. When they are incompatible, the distance between the process hole mounting plug and the door frame stop edge slot can be adjusted to suit either the front or rear door. Additionally, when the positioning fixture is incompatible, front and rear door installation error prevention markings 4 must be installed on the fixture body 7 for error prevention.
[0026] The magnetic clasp 5 is made of neodymium iron boron magnet to ensure strength. It measures 25mm in diameter and 20mm in thickness to ensure magnetic force. The magnetic clasp 5 is encased in a protective sleeve to prevent damage from impacts after repeated use. The entire positioning accessory is made of high-speed steel (W18Cr4V) to ensure strength.
[0027] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Any equivalent changes and modifications made within the protection scope of this utility model should be considered to fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
