[0004] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a clamping device for drilling automotive thermostat housings. This device has the advantage of safe and stable operation and solves the problem that the clamping components of the current clamping device are external, which makes it easy for external clamps to come into contact with foreign objects. This can cause the clamping device to be blocked by foreign objects, and if foreign objects enter the interior of the clamping device, the clamping device will become stuck, preventing it from operating normally and reducing the fixing efficiency of the automotive thermostat housing, ultimately reducing the drilling efficiency of the automotive thermostat housing.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a clamping device for drilling automotive thermostat housings, comprising a placement seat, an automotive thermostat housing body being disposed on the top of the placement seat, and a retaining rod being disposed on both sides inside the placement seat, the outer side of the retaining rod extending through to the outer side of the placement seat, the outer side of the retaining rod contacting the inner wall of the automotive thermostat housing body, a mounting bracket being sleeved on the surface of the retaining rod, the top of the mounting bracket being fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the placement seat, a push plate being fixedly connected to the inner side of the retaining rod, and a control mechanism being disposed on the inner side of the push plate.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the control mechanism includes a rotating shaft, which is movably connected inside the placement seat. A rotating block is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft, and the rotating block is located inside the push plate. A motor is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom of the inner wall of the placement seat. Gears are fixedly connected to both the surface of the motor output end and the surface of the rotating shaft, and a toothed belt is sleeved on the surface of the gear.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, pulleys are movably connected to both sides of the rotating block, and the surfaces of the pulleys are in contact with the surfaces of the push plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a positioning plate is sleeved on the surface of the motor output end, and the bottom of the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement seat.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, the push plate is slidably connected to a slide rod inside, and the surface of the slide rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement seat.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a spring is sleeved on the surface of the slide rod, one side of the spring is fixedly connected to the inside of the placement seat, and the other end of the spring is fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this invention, stabilizing sleeves are fitted on both sides of the slide bar surface, and the surfaces of the stabilizing sleeves are fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0013] 1. This utility model uses a motor to drive a gear and a toothed belt to rotate. The gear drives the rotating shaft to rotate 25 degrees, and the rotating shaft drives the rotating block to rotate 25 degrees. When the rotating block rotates, the push plates on both sides lose their clamping effect, the push plates and clamping rods loosen, and the clamping rods lose their clamping effect on the main body of the car thermostat housing. The main body of the car thermostat housing can then be removed from the top of the placement seat. It has the advantages of safe and stable operation of the clamping equipment. The clamping equipment is built-in, and foreign objects from the outside cannot come into contact with the components of the clamping equipment, thus improving the drilling efficiency of the car thermostat housing.

[0014] 2. By setting up a control mechanism, this utility model can fix the main body of the car thermostat housing, avoiding the car thermostat housing body from being unable to be fixed and causing it to loosen when the car thermostat housing body is drilled, thus improving the processing efficiency of the car thermostat housing body.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the present invention provides a clamping device for drilling automotive thermostat housings, including a placement seat 1, an automotive thermostat housing body 2 on the top of the placement seat 1, a retaining rod 3 on both sides inside the placement seat 1, the outer side of the retaining rod 3 extending through to the outer side of the placement seat 1, the outer side of the retaining rod 3 contacting the inner wall of the automotive thermostat housing body 2, a mounting bracket 4 sleeved on the surface of the retaining rod 3, the top of the mounting bracket 4 being fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the placement seat 1, a push plate 5 being fixedly connected to the inner side of the retaining rod 3, and a control mechanism 6 being provided on the inner side of the push plate 5.

[0022] refer to Figure 4 The control mechanism 6 includes a rotating shaft 61, which is movably connected inside the placement seat 1. A rotating block 62 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 61. The rotating block 62 is located inside the push plate 5. A motor 63 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the bottom of the inner wall of the placement seat 1. A gear 64 is fixedly connected to both the surface of the output end of the motor 63 and the surface of the rotating shaft 61. A toothed belt 65 is sleeved on the surface of the gear 64.

[0023] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the control mechanism 6, the main body 2 of the car thermostat housing can be fixed, avoiding the car thermostat housing body 2 from being unable to be fixed, which would cause the car thermostat housing body 2 to loosen when being drilled, thus improving the processing efficiency of the car thermostat housing body 2.

[0024] refer to Figure 3Both sides of the rotating block 62 are movably connected to pulleys 7, and the surface of the pulleys 7 is in contact with the surface of the push plate 5.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the pulley 7, the contact between the rotating block 62 and the push plate 5 can be isolated, avoiding friction between the push plate 5 and the surface of the rotating block 62 when the push plate 5 moves, which would cause the surface of the rotating block 62 to be worn, thus improving the installation safety of the rotating block 62.

[0026] refer to Figure 4 A positioning plate 8 is fitted onto the surface of the output end of motor 63, and the bottom of the positioning plate 8 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the placement seat 1.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the positioning plate 8, the output end of the motor 63 can be stabilized, avoiding the phenomenon of skewness during the rotation of the output end of the motor 63, and improving the stability of the output end of the motor 63.

[0028] refer to Figure 3 The inside of the push plate 5 is slidably connected to a slide rod 9, and the surface of the slide rod 9 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement seat 1.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting the slide bar 9, the sliding plate 5 can be stabilized, avoiding shaking during the sliding movement of the push plate 5, which would cause the push plate 5 to loosen, thus improving the sliding stability of the push plate 5.

[0030] refer to Figure 3 A spring 10 is fitted on the surface of the slide bar 9. One side of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the inside of the placement seat 1, and the other end of the spring 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate 5.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a spring 10, the push plate 5 can be pulled to automatically reset and move, avoiding the push plate 5 from failing to automatically return to its original position after being pushed, requiring manual reset, thus improving the ease of use of the push plate 5.

[0032] refer to Figure 3 Stabilizing sleeves 11 are fitted on both sides of the surface of the slide bar 9, and the surface of the stabilizing sleeves 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the push plate 5.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, by setting a stabilizing sleeve 11, the push plate 5 can be stabilized for secondary sliding, avoiding shaking of the push plate 5 during sliding and movement, which would cause the push plate 5 to loosen, and improving the sliding stability of the push plate 5.

[0034] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the figure shows the car thermostat housing body 2 fixed on the top of the placement seat 1. When it is necessary to remove the car thermostat housing body 2, start the motor 63. The motor 63 drives the gear 64 and the toothed belt 65 to rotate. The gear 64 drives the rotating shaft 61 to rotate 25 degrees. The rotating shaft 61 drives the rotating block 62 to rotate 25 degrees. After the rotating block 62 rotates, the push plates 5 on both sides lose their clamping effect. The push plates 5 and the clamping rod 3 loosen. The clamping effect of the clamping rod 3 on the car thermostat housing body 2 disappears, and the car thermostat housing body 2 can be removed from the top of the placement seat 1.

[0035] In summary, this clamping device for drilling automotive thermostat housings, through the coordinated use of the placement seat 1, the automotive thermostat housing body 2, the clamping rod 3, the mounting bracket 4, the push plate 5, and the control mechanism 6, solves the problem that the clamping components of the clamping device are external, making them prone to contact with foreign objects. This can lead to the clamping device being blocked by foreign objects, and if foreign objects enter the interior of the clamping device, the clamping device will become jammed, preventing it from operating normally, reducing the fixing efficiency of the automotive thermostat housing, and ultimately reducing the drilling efficiency of the automotive thermostat housing.
