[0037] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are used to illustrate this utility model, but are not intended to limit its scope.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-width QDC hardware fixture, comprising:

[0039] The tooling base 11 has an internal cavity;

[0040] Tooling cover plate 12 is fixedly installed on the top of tooling base 11;

[0041] Width adjustment mechanism 2 is mounted on tooling base 11 and is used to adjust the production width dimension;

[0042] The wide-range adjustment mechanism 2 also includes:

[0043] Two adjusting plates 21 are slidably mounted on the tooling cover plate 12, and the distance between the two adjusting plates 21 is the width.

[0044] Two sliding plates 22 are slidably disposed inside the tooling base 11, and the two sliding plates 22 respectively drive the two adjusting plates 21 to slide.

[0045] Positioning piece 23 is fixedly installed on one of the slide plates 22;

[0046] The positioning hanger 24 is fixedly hoisted onto the tooling cover plate 12;

[0047] Three positioning blocks 25 are horizontally arranged on the positioning hanger 24 and cooperate with the positioning piece 23;

[0048] A drive component, mounted on the tooling base 11, is used to adjust the sliding of the slide plate 22;

[0049] The working process and principle of the device are as follows: Based on the specific size requirements of the hardware parts to be produced, the drive assembly is activated. Upon receiving the instruction, the drive assembly begins operation, pushing the slide plate 22 to move along a predetermined track. Since the slide plate 22 is connected to the adjusting plate 21, the distance between the two adjusting plates 21 changes accordingly as the slide plate moves. The positioning plate 23 moves with the slide plate 22 and eventually aligns with one of the three positioning blocks 25 on the positioning hanger 24, ensuring that the distance between the adjusting plates 21 is precisely set to the specified value. Once the required width is reached, the drive assembly stops, and the locking mechanism is activated to keep the positions of the slide plate 22 and the adjusting plate 21 unchanged, ensuring no accidental displacement occurs during production. After the width adjustment and locking are completed, the tooling equipment can enter the normal workflow, producing and processing hardware parts according to preset parameters. When it is necessary to change to produce another size specification product, the distance between the two adjusting plates 21 can be quickly adjusted, achieving rapid line changeover and efficient production, greatly shortening changeover time, reducing manual intervention, improving work efficiency, and reducing overall operating costs.

[0050] The wide-range adjustment mechanism 2 also includes:

[0051] Two sliding plates 26 are fixedly installed on two adjusting plates 21 respectively;

[0052] Two sliding grooves 27 are provided on the tooling cover plate 12, and two sliding pieces 26 are respectively slidably locked in the two sliding grooves 27;

[0053] The sliding of the slider 26 in the slide groove 27 is the basis for the operation of the width adjustment mechanism 2; the slide groove 27 provides a sliding track for the slider 26, restricts the movement direction of the slider 26, and ensures the smoothness of the sliding; the slide groove 27 plays a guiding role for the slider 26; it guides the slider 26 and the adjustment plate connected to it to move along a predetermined direction, avoiding unnecessary shaking and offset; the addition of two sliders 26 and two slide grooves 27 enhances the stability and adjustment accuracy of the width adjustment mechanism 2, enabling the multi-width QDC hardware tooling to more flexibly adapt to the production needs of products of different sizes and specifications.

[0054] The slide 27 is located on the side end face of the tooling cover plate 12. Because the slide 27 is located on the side end face of the tooling cover plate 12, iron filings are less likely to accumulate in the slide 27. Any iron filings generated will fall naturally due to gravity instead of accumulating in the slide 27, thus avoiding problems such as poor sliding or wear caused by the accumulation of iron filings. The slide 27 on the side end face is easier to access and clean. Operators can easily clean up any small amount of iron filings or other impurities that may remain, ensuring smooth sliding between the slide 27 and the sliding plate 26 and maintaining the high performance of the equipment. By preventing the accumulation of iron filings, unnecessary friction and wear between the slide 27 and the sliding plate 26 are reduced, extending the service life of the equipment and reducing the frequency of regular maintenance.

[0055] The positioning hanger 24 is provided with an adjustment guide groove 28, and three positioning blocks 25 are slidably disposed in the adjustment guide groove 28. Each positioning block 25 is threaded with a fastening screw 29. The positioning hanger 24 is fixedly suspended on the tooling cover plate 12, and the adjustment guide groove 28 on it provides a sliding track for the positioning blocks 25. The three positioning blocks 25 are horizontally arranged and slidably disposed in the adjustment guide groove 28, allowing them to slide freely within the groove to adjust the spacing between them. Each positioning block 25 is threaded with a fastening screw 29, which is initially loose to allow the positioning block to slide within the guide groove. If fine-tuning or recalibration of the width is required, simply loosen the fastening screw 29 to easily move the positioning block 25, and then tighten it again. If a different width is required, simply loosen the fastening screw 29 and move the positioning block 25 to the desired width position to position the subsequent adjustment plate 21, reducing usage limitations.

[0056] The positioning hanger 24 is equipped with scale markings for precise positioning of the positioning block 25. The scale markings on the positioning hanger 24 provide an intuitive visual reference for the operator, enabling accurate determination of the position of the positioning block 25 in the adjusting guide groove 28. The positioning block 25 can slide freely in the adjusting guide groove 28 for position adjustment as needed. Once adjusted to the desired position, the tightening action of the fastening screw 29 can firmly lock the positioning block in the current position, thereby ensuring the accuracy and stability of the production width.

[0057] The driver components include:

[0058] A positive thread rod 31 is rotatably mounted inside the tooling base 11, and the positive thread rod 31 is threadedly inserted into a slide plate 22;

[0059] The reverse threaded rod 32 is rotatably mounted inside the tooling base 11. The reverse threaded rod 32 is threadedly inserted into another slide plate 22. The reverse threaded rod 32 is concentric with the positive threaded rod 31, and the reverse threaded rod 32 and the positive threaded rod 31 are fixedly connected by a coupling.

[0060] Handwheel 33 is fixedly connected to reverse thread rod 32, and handwheel 33 is located outside tooling base 11;

[0061] The working process and principle of the drive component are as follows: When the production width needs to be adjusted, the operator turns the handwheel 33; since the handwheel is fixedly connected to the reverse threaded rod 32, turning the handwheel will drive the reverse threaded rod 32 to rotate; since the forward threaded rod 31 and the reverse threaded rod 32 are fixedly connected by a coupling, when the reverse threaded rod 32 rotates, the forward threaded rod 31 will also rotate synchronously; as the forward threaded rod 31 and the reverse threaded rod 32 rotate, the two slide plates 22 will move in opposite directions respectively; this is because the threaded connection between the threaded rod and the slide plate converts rotation into linear movement; the movement of the slide plate will drive the adjusting plate 21 and the sliding piece 26 to slide in the sliding groove 27, thereby changing the distance between the two adjusting plates 21, i.e., the production width; through the coordinated work of the forward threaded rod 31, the reverse threaded rod 32 and the handwheel 33, the flexible adjustment of the production width is realized; it is not only simple in structure and convenient to operate, but also has high precision and stability.

[0062] The driver components also include:

[0063] Two guide rods 34 are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the tooling base 11, and both slide plates 22 slide in cooperation with the guide rods 34. The main function of the guide rods 34 is to provide a stable guide path, ensuring that the slide plates 22 always maintain a straight line during movement. This avoids possible offset or rotation of the slide plates 22 under external force, improving adjustment accuracy. Through the constraint of the guide rods 34, the slide plates 22 are more stable during movement and less prone to shaking or vibration. The symmetrical arrangement of the two guide rods 34 provides uniform support force for the slide plates 22, ensuring that the two slide plates 22 remain parallel during movement, further improving the accuracy and reliability of wide-range adjustment. Since the guide rods 34 undertake part of the guiding task of the slide plates 22, the pressure on the threaded pair is reduced, thereby extending the service life of the positive and negative threaded rods and the slide plates 22 and reducing maintenance costs.

[0064] Two bearing hangers 35 are provided at the bottom of the tooling cover plate 12. The positive thread rod 31 is rotatably inserted into one set of bearing hangers 35, and the negative thread rod 32 is rotatably inserted into the other set of bearing hangers 35. The bearing hangers 35 can provide stable support points for the positive and negative thread rods, ensuring that the positive thread rod 31 and the negative thread rod 32 can rotate smoothly under low friction conditions. This not only improves the working efficiency of the drive component, but also extends the service life of the thread rod. The bearings built into the bearing hangers 35 greatly reduce the friction between the thread rod and the support structure, reduce the risk of wear, and thus improve the reliability and durability of the system. The bearing hangers 35 provide a solid axial constraint for the thread rod, preventing radial displacement or shaking that may occur during the rotation of the thread rod.

[0065] The multi-width QDC hardware tooling of this utility model can be installed, connected or set in a common mechanical way, and can be implemented as long as it can achieve its beneficial effect.

[0066] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
