Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, and in particular to a common fixture for a multi-state rear longitudinal beam assembly. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the rear longitudinal beam assembly is a crucial component of the vehicle structure. Its precise and efficient machining and assembly are essential for ensuring overall vehicle quality and production cycle time. This is particularly true for the V363 rear longitudinal beam assembly, which comprises four different types: left / right long axles, extended axles, center axles, and short axles, totaling eight pieces. Each type, due to its different dimensions and shapes, typically requires specialized fixtures for clamping and positioning. In traditional production models, manufacturers had to design and manufacture eight separate sets of fixtures for these eight types of rear longitudinal beam assemblies. This not only significantly increased initial tooling costs but also required replacing the entire fixture set during mass production when switching between different types of axles within the rear longitudinal beam assembly. This time-consuming and labor-intensive process greatly impacted production line flexibility and overall production efficiency. Furthermore, frequent fixture changes increased the complexity and cost of equipment maintenance, hindering long-term production management and cost control. Utility Model Content

[0039] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This application provides a multi-state rear longitudinal beam assembly shared fixture, including a clamping platform 1, several fixture bodies 2, and a positioning part. The fixture bodies 2 are mounted on the clamping platform 1 and are used to clamp and fix the rear longitudinal beam assembly. The positioning part is mounted on the clamping platform 1 and includes a main positioning 32 and a secondary positioning 31. The main positioning 32 is located at a unique positioning position for each shaft 4 within the rear longitudinal beam assembly, and includes a main positioning pin 321 and a positioning cylinder 322 that drives the main positioning pin 321 to rise and fall. The secondary positioning 31 is located at a common positioning position for each shaft 4 within the rear longitudinal beam assembly.
[0040] In this embodiment, a main positioning 32 and a secondary positioning 31 are set. A shared secondary positioning 31 is set at a common positioning position for each shaft 4 in the rear longitudinal beam assembly, and a main positioning 32 is set at a unique positioning position for each shaft 4 in the rear longitudinal beam assembly. When it is necessary to clamp other shafts 4 in the rear longitudinal beam assembly, the existing main positioning 32 is lowered by controlling the lifting of the positioning cylinder 322, and the main positioning 32 corresponding to the shaft 4 is raised, so as to quickly complete the field switching and realize the positioning and clamping of different shafts 4.
[0041] In one embodiment, the main positioning 32 further includes a limiting block 325, a lifting platform 324, and a first mounting base 323. The first mounting base 323 is fixed to the clamping platform 1, and the positioning cylinder 322 is mounted on the first mounting base 323. The lifting platform 324 is disposed on the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 322, and the main positioning pin 321 is disposed on the lifting platform 324. The limiting block 325 is disposed on the first mounting base 323 to limit the rising height of the lifting platform 324.
[0042] like Figure 2 As shown, when the main positioning 32 is needed, simply extend the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 322 within the main positioning 32 to raise the lifting platform 324 until it is flush with the limit block 325. This causes the main positioning pin 321 to move upward to the positioning height, allowing the shaft 4 of the rear longitudinal beam assembly to be positioned via the main positioning 32. Conversely, when switching to other shafts 4 of the rear longitudinal beam assembly, simply retract the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 322 within the main positioning 32 to lower the main positioning pin 321, preventing the main positioning 32 from interfering with the clamping of the new shaft 4.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the secondary positioning 31 includes auxiliary positioning blocks 313, secondary positioning pins 312, and a second mounting bracket 311. The second mounting bracket 311 is disposed on the clamping platform 1; the secondary positioning pins 312 are disposed on the top of the second mounting bracket 311; the auxiliary positioning blocks 313 are disposed on both sides of the top of the second mounting bracket 311, and the auxiliary positioning blocks 313 and the second mounting bracket 311 form a U-shaped space for accommodating the rear longitudinal beam assembly. The secondary positioning 31, as a shared positioning mechanism, adopts a fixed structure, and by providing auxiliary positioning blocks 313 on both sides of the top of the second mounting bracket 311, the positioning holes on the shaft 4 can be quickly aligned with the secondary positioning pins 312 for positioning.
[0044] like Figure 4As shown, in one embodiment, the fixture body 2 includes an upper clamping block 27, a lifting cylinder 22, a lower clamping plate 23, a lower clamping block 24, a clamping cylinder 25, an upper clamping plate 26, and a third mounting frame 21. The third mounting frame 21 is fixed on the clamping platform 1; the lifting cylinder 22 is mounted on the third mounting frame 21; the lower clamping plate 23 is fixed on the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 22; the lower clamping block 24 is disposed on the lower clamping plate 23; the clamping cylinder 25 is hinged to the lower clamping plate 23; one end of the upper clamping plate 26 is hinged to the clamping cylinder 25, and the bottom of the upper clamping plate 26 is hinged to the lower clamping plate 23; the upper clamping block 27 is disposed on the upper clamping plate 26, and the upper clamping block 27 and the lower clamping block 24 cooperate to clamp the two wings and the bottom of the rear longitudinal beam assembly.
[0045] The lifting cylinder 22 controls the clamping height of the clamp body 2. When it is necessary to clamp and fix the shaft 4, simply extend the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 25 to adjust the clamping height of the upper clamping plate 26 around its hinge point with the lower clamping plate 23. Figure 4 The upper clamping plate 26 is rotated clockwise, which causes the right end of the upper clamping plate 26 to press down, thereby clamping the shaft 4 with the upper clamping block 27 and the lower clamping block 24.
[0046] Specifically, several clamping bodies 2 on the clamping platform 1 are arranged in a straight line, and each clamping body 2 works together to clamp the shaft 4.
[0047] In one embodiment, a movable structure 11 is provided at the bottom of the clamping platform 1. The movable structure 11 may specifically be wheels. Through the movable structure 11, the operator can more conveniently move the clamping platform 1 to different work areas, or flexibly arrange it according to production needs.
[0048] In one embodiment, the edge of the clamping platform 1 is provided with a plurality of lifting rings 12. The lifting rings 12 can be designed as sturdy metal rings or hooks, capable of bearing the weight of the clamping platform 1 and the workpieces on it. By connecting the lifting equipment (such as a crane, overhead crane, etc.) to the lifting rings 12, the clamping platform 1 and the workpieces on it can be easily lifted and transported as a whole.
[0049] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
