[0008] The mounting structure includes at least two sets of mounting components, which are symmetrically arranged about the electrophoresis frame. Each set of mounting components includes an upper mounting component and a lower mounting component. The upper mounting component and the lower mounting component are arranged vertically on the electrophoresis frame along the height direction of the electrophoresis frame and are used to install the workpiece to be electrophoresed.

[0009] In one embodiment, the electrophoresis frame extends along a first direction, which intersects with the width direction of the base.

[0010] In one embodiment, the first direction has an angle α with the width direction of the base, where 15° > angle α > 10°.

[0011] In one embodiment, the electrophoresis frame includes a column and a base plate, the column being disposed on the base plate; along the length direction of the base, the base plate at least partially protrudes from the side wall of the column; two sets of mounting components are arranged symmetrically about the column, the upper mounting component being disposed on the column, and the lower mounting component being disposed on the portion of the base plate protruding from the column.

[0012] In one embodiment, the upper mounting component includes an upper mounting plate, a first connecting plate, a second connecting plate, and a connector. The upper mounting plate is fixedly connected to the upper part of the column, and the first connecting plate and the second connecting plate are respectively fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate.

[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This application provides an electrophoresis fixture for automobiles, including a base 1, an electrophoresis frame 2, and a mounting structure 3. Specifically, the base 1 has a length direction Y and a width direction X. Multiple electrophoresis frames 2 are provided, spaced apart along the length direction Y of the base 1. Each of the multiple electrophoresis frames 2 is provided with a mounting structure 3. The mounting structure 3 includes at least two sets of mounting components 30, which are symmetrically arranged about the electrophoresis frame 2. Each set of mounting components 30 includes an upper mounting member 31 and a lower mounting member 32. Along the height direction of the electrophoresis frame 2, the upper mounting member 31 and the lower mounting member 32 are vertically distributed on the electrophoresis frame 2, respectively used to mount the workpiece to be electrophoresed.

[0032] Understandably, the workpiece (battery casing) is gripped by a robotic arm or robot and placed vertically on the side of the electrophoresis rack 2. Then, the upper mounting component 31 secures the upper part of the workpiece, and the lower mounting component 32 secures the lower part, thus vertically fixing the workpiece on the electrophoresis rack 2. The electrophoresis rack 2 then moves into the electrophoresis pool along with the processing line for electrophoresis treatment. Because multiple electrophoresis racks 2 are used, and each rack has an upper mounting component 31 and a lower mounting component 32, the workpiece can be placed almost vertically on the rack, greatly reducing the area occupied by a single workpiece. This increases the number of workpieces that can be assembled per unit length, allowing multiple workpieces to enter the electrophoresis pool simultaneously for electrophoresis, resulting in high work efficiency.

[0033] Secondly, the two sets of mounting components 30 are symmetrically arranged, allowing workpieces to be mounted on both sides of an electrophoresis frame 2, thus doubling the number of workpieces that can be mounted and resulting in higher electrophoresis efficiency under the same electrophoresis conditions. Furthermore, various battery casing models can be securely fixed, making it highly adaptable.

[0034] In one embodiment, the electrophoresis frame 2 extends along a first direction Z, which intersects with the width direction X of the base 1.

[0035] Understandably, when the battery case is fixed on the electrophoresis frame 2, it can rotate at a certain angle relative to the base 1, thereby reducing the length occupied by the placed battery case. This ensures that the two ends of the battery case do not exceed the width of the processing line when the length of the battery case is greater than the width of the processing line, thus solving the problem of the battery case being too long to pass through.

[0036] Furthermore, the first direction Z and the width direction X of the base 1 have an angle α, and the angle α satisfies: 15° > angle α > 10°.

[0037] In this implementation, the included angle α is 12°. The length of the battery casing is 2337mm, and the width of the processing line is only 2300mm. After being rotated 12°, the length occupied by the battery casing is only 2299mm, ensuring that the battery casing can pass through normally, while not affecting the subsequent electrophoresis and spraying effects due to excessive rotation angle.

[0038] In one embodiment, the electrophoresis frame 2 includes a column 21 and a base plate 22. The column 21 is disposed on the base plate 22. Along the length Y direction of the base 1, the base plate 22 at least partially protrudes from the side wall of the column 21. Two sets of mounting components 30 are arranged symmetrically about the column 21, with the upper mounting component 31 disposed on the column 21 and the lower mounting component 32 disposed on the portion of the base plate 22 that protrudes from the column 21.

[0039] Understandably, since the base plate 22 protrudes from the side wall of the column 21, and consequently the lower mounting part 32 also protrudes relatively from the upper mounting part 31, the battery case will be placed at an angle towards the electrophoresis frame 2 during installation, which facilitates spraying.

[0040] Preferably, the battery casing is tilted at an angle of 8° for better spraying results.

[0041] For example, the base 1 includes side beams 11 and cross plates 12. There are two side beams 11, which are parallel and extend along the length direction Y. There are multiple cross plates 12, which are spaced apart between the two side beams 11, and the two ends of the cross plates 12 are respectively connected to the two side beams 11.

[0042] For example, the column 21 includes two vertical beams 211 and a horizontal beam 212. The two vertical beams 211 are respectively provided for two side beams 11. The horizontal beam 212 extends along the first direction Z. The upper end of the vertical beam 211 is connected to the horizontal beam 212, and the lower end is connected to the base plate 22. The base plate 22 is fixed to the side beams 11.

[0043] In this embodiment, the base plate 22 and the side beam 11 are staggered at a certain angle when connected, so as to achieve the intersection of the first direction Z and the width direction X of the base 1.

[0044] For example, multiple upper mounting parts 31 are provided. In this embodiment, two are preferred. The two upper mounting parts 31 are respectively located at both ends of the crossbeam 212 to fix the battery case at different positions, making the positioning more secure.

[0045] For example, multiple lower mounting members 32 are provided, and in this embodiment, two are preferred. The positions of the two lower mounting members 32 correspond to the positions of the upper mounting members 31, so as to fix different positions of the battery case and make the positioning more secure.

[0046] In one embodiment, the upper mounting member 31 includes an upper mounting plate 311, a first connecting plate 312, a second connecting plate 313, and a connector 314. The upper mounting plate 311 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the column 21, and the first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313 are respectively fixedly connected to the upper mounting plate 311. The connector 314 connects the first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313, and a mounting portion 315 is provided on the side of the second connecting plate 313 away from the upper mounting plate 311.

[0047] Understandably, the mounting part 315 cooperates with the workpiece, and the setting of the connector 314 allows for fine-tuning of the position between the first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313, thereby allowing the position of the mounting part 315 to be fine-tuned to better adapt to the assembly of the workpiece.

[0048] For example, the connector 314 is made of screws, bolts, etc.

[0049] Furthermore, the mounting part 315 includes a threaded seat 316 and a screw 317, with the screw 317 threadedly engaged with the threaded seat 316. The threaded seat 316 is fixedly connected to the second connecting plate 313 by welding or screwing. During installation, the threaded seat 316 can reach the position of the hole on the workpiece, and then the screw 317 is passed through the hole and connected to the threaded seat 316, thus realizing the installation with the workpiece.

[0050] For example, both the first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313 are steel plates and are configured in an L-shape. The first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313 are arranged one above the other in the height direction, and their L-shapes are opposite each other.

[0051] For example, the thickness of the first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313 is set to 10mm. Of course, the thickness can also be selected according to actual needs.

[0052] Furthermore, a first gasket 318 is provided between the first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313, and the position of the first gasket 318 corresponds to the position of the connector 314. By providing the first gasket 318, a certain gap is created between the first connecting plate 312 and the second connecting plate 313, making it easier to visually inspect the state of the connector 314.

[0053] For example, multiple first gaskets 318 are provided, and the multiple first gaskets 318 are stacked on top of each other. In this embodiment, there are 5 first gaskets 318, and the thickness is 1 mm.

[0054] In one embodiment, the lower mounting member 32 includes a lower mounting plate 321, a first mounting plate 322, a second mounting plate 323, and a fastener 324. The lower mounting plate 321 is fixedly connected to the base plate 22, and the first mounting plate 322 and the second mounting plate 323 are respectively fixedly connected to the lower mounting plate 321. The fastener 324 connects the first mounting plate 322 and the second mounting plate 323, and the second mounting plate 323 has an mounting portion 325 on the side away from the lower mounting plate 321.

[0055] Understandably, the assembly part 325 cooperates with the workpiece, and the fastener 324 allows for fine-tuning of the position between the first assembly plate 322 and the second assembly plate 323, thereby allowing the position of the assembly part 325 to be fine-tuned to better adapt to the assembly of the workpiece.

[0056] For example, fastener 324 may be a screw, bolt, etc.

[0057] Furthermore, the assembly part 325 includes an assembly post 326 and an assembly rod 327. The assembly post 326 has a screw hole, and the assembly rod 327 is screwed into the screw hole. The assembly rod 327 is fixed to the second assembly plate 323 by welding or screwing. During installation, the assembly post 326 can reach the position of the hole on the workpiece, and then the assembly rod 327 is passed through the hole and connected to the assembly post 326, thus realizing the installation with the workpiece. For example, the assembly rod 327 is a screw 317, bolt, etc.

[0058] For example, both the first assembly plate 322 and the second assembly plate 323 are steel plates and are arranged in an L-shape. The first assembly plate 322 and the second assembly plate 323 are arranged one above the other in the height direction, and their L-shapes are opposite each other.

[0059] For example, the thickness of the first assembly plate 322 and the second assembly plate 323 is set to 10mm. Of course, the thickness can also be selected according to actual needs.

[0060] Furthermore, a second gasket 328 is provided between the first assembly plate 322 and the second assembly plate 323, and the position of the second gasket 328 corresponds to the position of the fastener 324. By providing the second gasket 328, a certain gap is created between the first assembly plate 322 and the second assembly plate 323, making it easier to visually inspect the state of the connector 314.

[0061] For example, multiple second gaskets 328 are provided, and the multiple second gaskets 328 are stacked on top of each other. In this embodiment, there are 5 second gaskets 328, and the thickness is 1 mm.

[0062] For example, the aforementioned fastening can be achieved by welding, screwing, or other methods.

[0063] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0064] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, the patent protection scope of this application should be determined by the appended claims.
