Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of assist mechanisms, and in particular to an assist mechanism for automotive parts tooling. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive components are indispensable elements that make up a complete vehicle. These include, but are not limited to, engines, transmission systems, braking systems, steering systems, running gear, electrical systems, lighting, and various safety accessories. Each component performs a different function, from providing power to controlling the vehicle's direction, from ensuring driving safety to enhancing the driving experience. Together, they enable the car to operate safely and efficiently. They are crucial components of automobile manufacturing and maintenance, and also a significant reflection of technological progress and development in the automotive industry.
[0003] In the prior art, Chinese utility model patent with publication number "CN217702042U" and patent name "An Auxiliary Mechanism for Tooling of Automotive Parts" discloses a tooling auxiliary mechanism for the production and processing of automotive parts. The patent describes a technical solution such as "a transmission belt is connected to both sides of the front and back sides of the inner wall of the worktable and located on both sides of the support platform, and a clamping and pushing mechanism is provided on the top of the surface of the transmission belt; the setting of the clamping and pushing mechanism greatly improves the work efficiency and plays an auxiliary role in the assembly of parts."
[0004] However, in actual use, this technical solution, which uses a conveyor belt to clamp and fix two automotive parts together for welding assembly, undoubtedly increases the operating cost of the tooling assist mechanism. Furthermore, to ensure effective welding of the two automotive parts, welding is required on both sides of the joint. After welding one side of the clamped and fixed joint using the tooling assist mechanism, the welded automotive parts need to be removed from the tooling assist mechanism, manually flipped, and then clamped and fixed again by the tooling assist mechanism to complete the welding of that side of the joint. This makes the operation cumbersome, reducing both the flexibility of the tooling assist mechanism and work efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model proposes an automotive parts tooling assist mechanism. Utility Model Content
[0006] The main objective of this invention is to provide an auxiliary mechanism for tooling in automotive parts, which can effectively solve the problems in the background art.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0008] An assist mechanism for tooling automotive parts includes a concave seat. An assist device is provided on the top surface of the concave seat. The assist device includes an electric push rod, a support plate, a concave plate, a driven gear, a cylinder, a pressure plate, a drive motor, and a driving gear. Electric push rods are fixedly connected to both sides of the concave seat, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the output end of each electric push rod. The concave plate is movably connected to the inner side wall of the support plate via a rotating rod on its outer side wall. The driven gear is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating rod. The cylinder is fixedly connected to the top surface of the concave plate, and a pressure plate is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder. The drive motor is fixedly connected to a mounting base on the outer side wall of the support plate, and the driving gear is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor and meshes with the driven gear.
[0009] Preferably, a set of symmetrical sliding rods are fixedly installed inside the recess of the concave seat.
[0010] Preferably, an electric push rod is fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of the concave seat, and a support plate is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod. The bottom of the side wall of the support plate is provided with a sliding hole corresponding to the slide rod, and the support plate is movably installed together with the slide rod through the sliding hole.
[0011] Preferably, the side wall of the support plate is provided with a mounting hole, and a bearing is fixedly installed in the mounting hole. A rotating rod is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the concave plate, and the rotating rod and the bearing are inserted and fixedly installed together. A driven gear is also fixedly installed on the outer end of the rotating rod.
[0012] Preferably, the mounting base is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the support plate and located below the driven gear, and a drive motor is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the mounting base. A drive gear is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor, and the drive gear and the driven gear mesh together.
[0013] Preferably, a limiting groove is formed on the inner bottom surface of the concave plate, and a cylinder is fixedly installed on the top surface of the concave plate, with a pressure plate fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0015] In this invention, the assistive device, after the automotive parts are placed in the limiting groove, activates the cylinder drive output end to push the pressure plate downwards and press it against the top surface of the automotive parts, quickly clamping and fixing the automotive parts. Activating the electric push rod drive output end pushes the support plate inwards, allowing the two automotive parts to move relative to each other until they are joined together. This achieves the purpose of rapid docking of the automotive parts. After the docking area of the two automotive parts is welded, the drive motor drive output end can be activated to rotate the drive gear, which will engage in meshing. The driven gear rotates, which in turn drives the concave plate to rotate via a rotating rod. The concave plate then causes two automotive parts that have been welded on one side to rotate synchronously until they have rotated 180 degrees. At this point, the unwelded joint can be welded, thus achieving the purpose of quickly clamping, fixing, and welding the two automotive parts. This reduces the cost of using the device and eliminates the need for manual rotation during the welding and assembly of the two automotive parts. This not only improves the flexibility of the device but also increases work efficiency and provides effective assistance in the processing of automotive parts. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.
[0021] like Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, an automotive parts tooling assist mechanism includes a concave seat 1, with an assist device 2 on the top surface of the concave seat 1. The assist device 2 includes an electric push rod 4, a support plate 5, a concave plate 9, a driven gear 11, a cylinder 13, a pressure plate 14, a drive motor 16, and a drive gear 17. The electric push rod 4 is fixedly connected to both sides of the concave seat 1, and the support plate 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 4. The concave plate 9 is movably connected to the inner side wall of the support plate 5 through a rotating rod 10 on the outer side wall, and the driven gear 11 is fixedly connected to the outer end of the rotating rod 10. The cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the concave plate 9, and the pressure plate 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 13. The drive motor 16 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 15 on the outer side wall of the support plate 5, and the drive gear 17 is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive motor 16 and meshes with the driven gear 11.
[0022] like Figure 2 As shown, a set of symmetrical sliding rods 3 are fixedly installed in the recess of the concave seat 1. The sliding rods 3 installed in the concave seat 1 can guide the movement of the support plate 5.
[0023] like Figure 3 As shown, electric push rods 4 are fixedly installed on the left and right side walls of the concave seat 1, and a support plate 5 is fixedly installed on the output end of the electric push rod 4. The bottom of the side wall of the support plate 5 is provided with a sliding hole 6 corresponding to the slide rod 3. The support plate 5 is movably installed with the slide rod 3 through the sliding hole 6. When two automotive parts are joined together for welding assembly, the electric push rod 4 can be turned on to drive the output end to push the support plate 5 to move inward. The support plate 5 will slide along the slide rod 3 through the sliding hole 6. In this way, the two automotive parts can be quickly joined together. Compared with the method of connecting two automotive parts with a conveyor belt, the overall cost of the device and the space occupied can be reduced.
[0024] like Figure 3 As shown, the side wall of the support plate 5 is also provided with a mounting hole 7, and a bearing 8 is fixedly installed in the mounting hole 7. A rotating rod 10 is fixedly installed on the outer side wall of the concave plate 9, and the rotating rod 10 and the bearing 8 are inserted and fixedly installed together. A driven gear 11 is also fixedly installed on the outer end of the rotating rod 10. When the driven gear 11 rotates, it will drive the rotating rod 10 to rotate in the bearing 8 installed in the mounting hole 7, and the rotating rod 10 will drive the concave plate 9 to rotate. In this way, the purpose of flipping the car parts is achieved. There is no need for the staff to manually flip the car parts. The front and back of the two car parts can be quickly welded and assembled after docking.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, the mounting base 15 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the support plate 5 and located below the driven gear 11. A drive motor 16 is fixedly mounted on the outer side wall of the mounting base 15. A drive gear 17 is fixedly mounted on the output end of the drive motor 16. The drive gear 17 and the driven gear 11 mesh together. After the drive motor 16 on the mounting base 15 is turned on, the drive motor 16 will drive the drive gear 17 to rotate through the drive output end. The drive gear 17 will drive the driven gear 11 to rotate under the meshing action.
[0026] like Figure 3 As shown, a limiting groove 12 is provided on the inner bottom surface of the concave plate 9, and a cylinder 13 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the concave plate 9. A pressure plate 14 is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 13. After placing the two automotive parts to be welded and assembled in the limiting grooves 12 provided on the bottom surface of the concave plates 9 on the left and right sides, the cylinder 13 on the top surface of the concave plate 9 is activated to drive the output end to push the pressure plate 14 downward, so that the pressure plate 14 presses against the upper surface of the automotive parts, thereby completing the quick clamping and fixing of the automotive parts.
[0027] It should be noted that this utility model is an assistive mechanism for processing automotive parts. When welding and assembling two automotive parts using this mechanism, the two plate-shaped automotive parts are placed sequentially in the limiting grooves 12 opened on the bottom surface of the recesses of the left and right symmetrical concave plates 9. The cylinder 13 installed on the top surface of the concave plate 9 is then activated. The cylinder 13 drives the output end to push the pressure plate 14 downward until the pressure plate 14 presses against the top surface of the automotive parts in the limiting grooves 12. Then, the electric push rods 4 installed on the left and right side walls of the concave seat 1 are activated. The electric push rods 4 drive the output end to push the support plate 5 inward. The support plate 5 slides along the sliding rod 3 installed in the concave seat 1 through the sliding holes 6 opened at the bottom of the side walls. At this time, the left and right symmetrical support plates 5 will make relative movement operations, thereby driving the clamped and fixed automotive parts to move synchronously until the two automotive parts are joined together. Then, the splicing part of the top surface of the two automotive parts after joining can be welded using welding tools. After the top surface splicing part is welded, the bottom surface splicing part needs to be welded. When welding is being performed, the drive motor 16, mounted on the outer wall of the mounting base 15, can be turned on. The drive motor 16 will drive the output end to rotate the drive gear 17, which in turn will drive the driven gear 11 to rotate under meshing action. The driven gear 11 will drive the rotating rod 10 to rotate in the bearing 8 installed in the mounting hole 7 on the side wall of the support plate 5. The rotating rod 10 will drive the concave plate 9 to rotate. During the rotation, the concave plate 9 will synchronously drive the clamped and fixed automotive parts to flip until the automotive parts are flipped 180 degrees, so that the joint parts of the two unwelded automotive parts face upwards. This facilitates the quick welding of the joint parts on the opposite side, thereby achieving the purpose of quick clamping, fixing, jointing, and flipping welding of two automotive parts. This also reduces the cost of using the device and eliminates the need for manual flipping during the welding and assembly of two automotive parts. This not only improves the flexibility of the device but also increases work efficiency and provides effective assistance in the processing of automotive parts.
[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, various improvements can be made to it without departing from the scope of the present utility model, and components can be replaced with equivalents or some technical features can be replaced with equivalents. All such improvements within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
