[0031] It should be noted that, in the description of this application, "and / or" means including three parallel solutions. Taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that satisfies both A and B.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances.

[0033] The following is for reference. Figures 1-4 The tooling 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model is described. The application scenarios of the tooling 100 are not limited, and its application scenarios are unrestricted. It can be flexibly applied to various manufacturing, assembly and other related production processes.

[0034] Specifically, tooling 100 can be applied to various stages of vehicle production. During vehicle manufacturing, tooling 100 serves as an important auxiliary tool, helping operators assemble and position parts more efficiently and accurately. For example, in the body assembly stage, tooling 100 can assist operators in assembling multiple components, thereby improving assembly efficiency. This application uses tooling 100 as an example of an assembly tooling, and further details will not be elaborated upon below.

[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the tooling 100 according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a base 10 and a support component 20.

[0036] The base 10 serves as a stable foundation for the entire tooling 100, ensuring its stability and reliability during operation. Optionally, the base 10 may include casters, adjustable feet, etc., for ease of movement and positioning. This configuration allows the base 10 to adapt to the needs of different production environments.

[0037] The support assembly 20 comprises a support frame 22 and worktables 23. The support frame 22 is rotationally connected to the base 10. The worktables 23 are rotationally connected to the support frame 22, and there are at least two worktables 23 distributed around the rotation axis of the support frame 22. Each worktable 23 is provided with a fixing member 232 for fixing a workpiece, and each worktable 23 can be switched to the operation station 200.

[0038] The support frame 22 is the framework of the support assembly 20, and the support frame 22 is rotationally connected to the base 10. This rotational connection allows the support frame 22 to rotate freely within a certain range, thereby driving the worktables 23 installed thereon to adjust the position.

[0039] The worktables 23 are the operation platforms of the tooling 100, and there are at least two worktables 23 distributed uniformly around the rotation axis of the support frame 22. This arrangement allows each worktable 23 to be switched to the operation station 200 in turn when the support frame 22 rotates, so as to realize smooth switching between the worktables 23.

[0040] Specifically, when the support frame 22 rotates, the worktables 23 installed thereon also rotate until the required worktable 23 is switched to the operation station 200.

[0041] For example, while one worktable 23 is performing assembly work, the other worktables 23 can be preparing the next workpiece, performing pretreatment or quality detection, or other auxiliary work, so as to realize the continuity and efficiency of the production process.

[0042] Optionally, the switching of the worktables 23 can be manually driven or automatically driven.

[0043] In the manual driving mode, the operator can control the rotation of the support frame 22 by manually operating (such as rotating a handle, etc.), thereby realizing the switching between the worktables 23. This manual driving mode is simple and intuitive, and has low cost.

[0044] In the automatic driving mode, the tooling 100 further comprises sensors, controllers, actuators, etc. For example, the sensors are used to monitor the position and state of the worktables 23 in real time, and the controllers drive the support frame 22 to rotate through actuators (such as motors, air cylinders, etc.), thereby realizing the automatic switching between the worktables 23. This automatic driving mode can improve production efficiency and reduce human operation errors and safety hazards.

[0045] The at least two worktables 23 are uniformly distributed around the rotation axis of the support frame 22, which ensures the balance of the worktables 23 during rotation.

[0046] Optionally, the worktables 23 can be two, three, four, etc.

[0047] When the workbench 23 is two, the two workbenches 23 are respectively located on both sides of the rotation axis of the support 22. In the assembly process, the two workbenches 23 can be alternately rotated to the operation station 200, so as to realize smooth switching of the workbench 23.

[0048] When the workbench 23 is three, the three workbenches 23 are arranged in a uniformly distributed manner around the rotation axis of the support 22. This layout ensures the stability and balance of the workbench 23 during rotation. In the assembly process, the three workbenches 23 can be switched in turn to the operation station 200, so as to realize switching of the three workbenches 23.

[0049] When the workbench 23 is four, the four workbenches 23 are respectively located around the rotation axis of the support 22, and the included angle between adjacent two workbenches 23 is equal. Figures 1-2 , the included angle between adjacent two workbenches 23 is 90 degrees, so as to ensure the stability and balance of the workbench 23 during rotation. The arrangement of the four workbenches 23 improves the integration of the tooling 100, so that the originally dispersed multiple workbenches 23 can share the same support 22 and base 10, thereby reducing the number of equipment and floor area, so that the production cost can also be reduced by improving the site utilization. At this time, the operation station 200 can be two, and the two operation stations 200 are oppositely arranged, and the two operation stations 200 have workbenches 23 corresponding thereto, so that multiple operation stations 200 can be used to realize workpiece assembly and improve assembly efficiency.

[0050] Each workbench 23 is equipped with a fixing part 232, which can be adjusted according to the shape, size and material of the workpiece to ensure the stability and accuracy of the workpiece during assembly. This arrangement allows each workbench 23 to be used to stably fix vehicle workpieces of different models or specifications, ensuring accuracy and stability during assembly. Importantly, these workbenches 23 can be flexibly switched between a non-assembly state and the operation station 200, and the required workbench 23 can be easily rotated to the assembly area by rotating the support 22, without the need to replace or adjust the entire tooling device as in the traditional way.

[0051] Optionally, the fixing parts 232 on different workbenches 23 can be the same or different. In order to ensure that the tooling 100 can be applied to multiple workpieces and improve the flexibility of use.

[0052] In addition, the tooling 100 of the utility model also has good scalability and adaptability. With the introduction of new models or specifications, only the fixing parts 232 on the workbenches 23 need to be adjusted or replaced, without the need for large-scale modification or redesign of the entire tooling, greatly reducing the cost of subsequent maintenance and upgrading.

[0053] In some optional embodiments, the base 10 comprises one side support 11 or two side supports 11. When the base 10 comprises a single side support 11, the workbench 23 is arranged on one side of the side support 11. When the base 10 comprises two side supports 11, the two side supports 11 are arranged at intervals, and the workbench 23 is arranged between the two side supports 11.

[0054] According to the tooling 100 of some embodiments of the present application, as shown in Figure 2 The workbench 23 is reversibly connected to the support 22, and the workbench 23 comprises two opposite work surfaces 230 which can be switched to the operation station 200.

[0055] It is worth noting that the workbench 23 is responsible for carrying and positioning the vehicle workpiece to be assembled. In this application, the workbench 23 is reversibly connected to the support 22. This means that the workbench 23 has two opposite work surfaces 230 which can be flipped and switched to the operation station 200 according to the assembly requirements.

[0056] When different types of vehicle workpieces need to be assembled, the operator only needs to flip the workbench 23, and then another work surface 230 can be switched to the operation station 200. This design avoids the cumbersome process of replacing the entire tooling equipment in traditional tooling, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line.

[0057] As shown in Figure 2 The fixing member 232 comprises a first fixing member 2321 and a second fixing member 2322, and is arranged on the two work surfaces 230 respectively.

[0058] The first fixing member 2321 and the second fixing member 2322 are arranged on the two opposite work surfaces 230 respectively, and they can be exactly the same or different to achieve different assembly effects of the work surfaces 230.

[0059] When the workpieces to be assembled on the two work surfaces 230 have similar shapes, sizes and materials, the first fixing member 2321 and the second fixing member 2322 can adopt the same design. This design simplifies the management and maintenance of the tooling, because there is no need to prepare different fixing members 232 for each work surface 230. At the same time, it also reduces the manufacturing cost and inventory cost of the fixing member 232, because the standardized fixing member 232 can be purchased and manufactured in batches.

[0060] However, in some cases, the workpieces to be assembled on the two work surfaces 230 will have differences, which requires the first fixing member 2321 and the second fixing member 2322 to be adjusted according to the specific requirements of the workpieces.

[0061] According to the tooling 100 of some embodiments of the present application, as shown inFigure 1 、 Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 1, the base 10 comprises two side supports 11 arranged along a first direction, and the bracket 22 is connected between the two side supports 11.

[0062] Here, the first direction refers to a direction parallel to the rotation axis of the bracket 22.

[0063] The two side supports 11 are arranged along the first direction, and such an arrangement allows the bracket 22 to bear the weight and pressure from the worktable 23 more evenly, thereby providing stable support for the worktable 23. Meanwhile, the two side supports 11 arranged along the first direction also help to disperse the moment generated during the overturning of the worktable 23 and the workpiece, thereby improving the stability of the entire tooling 100.

[0064] In combination with Figure 1 、 Figure 3 The bracket 22 comprises two frames 221 arranged along the first direction, a crossbar 222 connected between the two frames 221, and each worktable 23 is connected between the two frames 221. The two ends of the crossbar 222 are respectively rotatably connected to the two side supports 11.

[0065] The two frames 221 are arranged along the first direction. Optionally, each frame 221 comprises a cross beam and a longitudinal beam, and the cross beam and the longitudinal beam are connected to each other to form a firm structure, thereby improving the strength and rigidity of the bracket 22.

[0066] The crossbar 222 is used to connect the two frames 221 and is arranged along the first direction. The two ends of the crossbar 222 are respectively rotatably connected to the two side supports 11, which means that the crossbar 222 can be rotated relative to the side supports 11, thereby driving the worktable 23 to rotate.

[0067] Each worktable 23 is connected between the two frames 221. In this way, the working surface 230 of the worktable 23 extends along the direction of the crossbar 222, and when the worktable 23 is overturned, the crossbar 222, as a connecting component connecting the two frames 221, plays a role in supporting and balancing the moment, thereby ensuring the stability of the worktable 23 during overturning.

[0068] The crossbar 222 not only provides support, but also guides the rotation trajectory of the worktable 23 through the rotatable connection of its two ends to the side supports 11. In this way, different worktables 23 can be switched along the predetermined path, avoiding unnecessary shaking or deviation.

[0069] According to some embodiments of the present application Figure 4The fixture 100 of the embodiment shown, at least one fixing member 232 is a clamping member, which comprises a clamping seat 2323, a guide rail 2324 and a clamping head 2325. The clamping seat 2323 is arranged on the workbench 23. The guide rail 2324 is arranged on the clamping seat 2323. The clamping head 2325 is matched on the guide rail 2324.

[0070] The clamping seat 2323 is the basic part of the fixing member 232, which is stably installed on the workbench 23 as the supporting point of the whole clamping system.

[0071] Optionally, the clamping seat 2323 is arranged on the work surface 230.

[0072] Optionally, the clamping seat 2323 is a high-strength material member. For example, the clamping seat 2323 can be a high-strength alloy member or a cast iron member to ensure that it can withstand the force generated when clamping the workpiece. In addition, the clamping seat 2323 can also include adjustment mechanisms such as bolts, nuts or positioning pins to adjust the position or angle of the clamping seat 2323 on the workbench 23 according to actual needs.

[0073] The guide rail 2324 is installed on the clamping seat 2323 to provide a precise movement path for the clamping head 2325. The arrangement of the guide rail 2324 can ensure that the clamping head 2325 remains stable and unobstructed during sliding and has high positioning accuracy. Optionally, the guide rail 2324 can be a linear guide rail, a ball guide rail or other guide rails.

[0074] The clamping head 2325 is the part of the fixing member 232 that directly acts on the workpiece, which is matched on the guide rail 2324 and can freely move along the guide rail 2324 or be locked at a specific position.

[0075] During assembly, the clamping head 2325 moves to the position of the workpiece along the predetermined path under the guidance of the guide rail 2324, so that the clamping head 2325 can realize accurate clamping of the workpiece. This clamping structure improves the efficiency of positioning and disassembling the workpiece, and also ensures the stability of the workpiece.

[0076] According to some embodiments of the utility model, the fixture 100 is combined with Figure 4 , at least one fixing member 232 is a clamping member, the clamping member comprises a clamping seat 2323 and a clamping head 2325, the clamping seat 2323 is arranged on the workbench 23, and the clamping seat 2323 is provided with a threaded hole. The clamping head 2325 is provided with an external thread, the clamping head 2325 is arranged on the clamping seat 2323 through the threaded hole, and is in threaded connection with the clamping seat 2323.

[0077] The clamping seat 2323 is the base component of the fixing member 232, which is installed on the workbench 23. It serves to support and position the clamping head 2325, ensuring that the clamping head 2325 can be accurately aligned and clamped to the workpiece.

[0078] The clamping head 2325 directly acts on the workpiece and is responsible for clamping and positioning the workpiece to ensure the accuracy and stability of clamping.

[0079] The clamping head 2325 is provided with external threads, which cooperate with the threaded holes on the clamping seat 2323 to achieve threaded connection. Specifically, the clamping head 2325 is threaded through the threaded holes of the clamping seat 2323 by the external threads on it and is rotated to achieve threaded connection. This connection method is not only simple and reliable, but also has high stability and precision. By rotating the clamping head 2325, the position and clamping force of the clamping head 2325 can be easily adjusted to adapt to the assembly requirements of different workpieces.

[0080] According to some embodiments of the tool 100, the workbench 23 is provided with weight-reducing holes 231 that extend through to the edge of the workbench 23.

[0081] Specifically, the workbench 23 is provided with weight-reducing holes 231, which not only extend from the upper surface of the workbench 23 to the edge, but also form an open gap on the side facing the operating station 200.

[0082] Firstly, the provision of the weight-reducing holes 231 can reduce the unnecessary use of materials inside the workbench 23, thereby reducing the weight and material cost of the entire tool 100. This design not only conforms to the lightweight trend, but also helps to reduce resource consumption.

[0083] Secondly, during assembly, the presence of the weight-reducing holes 231 helps to reduce the overall weight of the workbench 23, making the overturning operation easier, while improving the stability and balance during overturning.

[0084] In addition, this open gap also increases the flexibility of installing the workpiece on the workbench 23, as it is easier for the operator to access the workpiece through the gap, which helps to improve the efficiency of assembling the workpiece.

[0085] The fixing member 232 is provided in multiple numbers, and the multiple fixing members 232 are arranged in a circumferential interval along the weight-reducing holes 231. This layout ensures that the workpiece can receive clamping force from multiple directions during overturning, avoiding stress concentration and instability caused by single-point clamping, while improving overturning stability.

[0086] In some optional embodiments, such as Figure 3As shown, the worktable 23 is also provided with a positioning element 235 for positioning the workpiece, and / or a limiting element 236 for limiting the position of the workpiece; the positioning element 235 and / or the limiting element 236 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the weight reduction hole 231.

[0087] In some optional embodiments, the worktable 23 is provided with a positioning element 235. The positioning element 235 is used to determine the position of the workpiece on the worktable 23, ensuring that the workpiece can be accurately aligned and fixed during assembly. Optionally, the positioning element 235 is provided with a contour or groove that matches the shape of the workpiece, so as to fit tightly with the positioning points or surfaces on the workpiece.

[0088] The positioning elements 235 are arranged at intervals along the circumference of the weight reduction holes 231. This arrangement ensures that the workpiece can always maintain the correct position during flipping or moving, thus enhancing the stability of the workpiece during assembly.

[0089] In some optional embodiments, a limiting member 236 is provided on the worktable 23. The limiting member 236 is used to limit the range of movement of the workpiece on the worktable 23, preventing the workpiece from shifting or falling off due to external forces during assembly. The limiting member 236 achieves the limitation of the workpiece position through physical blocking.

[0090] The limiting members 236 are arranged at circumferential intervals along the weight-reducing holes 231 to ensure that the workpiece does not exceed the predetermined position range during flipping or moving. This improves assembly safety and reduces assembly errors caused by improper workpiece positioning.

[0091] To further improve the positioning accuracy and stability of the workpiece during assembly, in some optional embodiments, the worktable 23 is provided with a positioning element 235 and a limiting element 236. Through the synergistic effect of the positioning element 235 and the limiting element 236, the safety and reliability of the workpiece during flipping or moving are increased, further improving the assembly efficiency of the tooling 100.

[0092] like Figure 3 As shown, the tooling 100 according to some embodiments of the present invention further includes: a first driving member 30 and a clutch 40. The clutch 40 has an input shaft and an output shaft, the output shaft is connected to a bracket 22 to realize the rotation of the support assembly 20, and the first driving member 30 is connected to the input shaft to drive the input shaft to rotate.

[0093] The first drive component 30 serves as a power source, responsible for providing the necessary torque and speed to drive the support 22 to move. Optionally, the first drive component 30 can be an electric motor (such as a DC motor, AC motor, servo motor, etc.), a hydraulic motor, or a pneumatic motor.

[0094] When the first driving member 30 is an electric motor, it can provide smooth and controllable rotation speed and torque output, and can improve the precision and efficiency of assembly work.

[0095] When the first driving member 30 is a hydraulic motor or a pneumatic motor, it has a large torque output capacity, which is suitable for heavy load or occasions requiring fast response. At the same time, a hydraulic source or a pneumatic source connected with the hydraulic motor or the pneumatic motor is also provided.

[0096] The clutch 40 is located between the first driving member 30 and the support assembly 20, and plays a transmission and protection role. The clutch 40 includes an input shaft and an output shaft (not shown in the figure).

[0097] The first driving member 30 is connected with the input shaft, and receives the rotating power from the first driving member 30.

[0098] The output shaft is connected to the support 22, and by rotating the output shaft, the entire support 22 and the workbench 23 thereon can be driven to rotate, which is convenient for switching between different workbenches 23.

[0099] Specifically, when the first driving member 30 is started, the power is transmitted to the clutch 40 through the input shaft. Under the action of the clutch mechanism, the power is transmitted to the output shaft, and then the support 22 connected with the output shaft is driven to rotate.
