Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to vehicle parts clamps, and in particular to a vehicle parts clamp. Background Technology
[0002] In the vehicle manufacturing process, the inspection of various automotive components is a crucial step. The standard procedure is as follows: first, special fixtures are prepared to hold the components in place; then, the components to be inspected are placed in the matching fixtures; and finally, they are sent to the inspection production line for inspection.
[0003] However, vehicle parts are diverse in type and size. For example, the front beam assembly of the chassis (such as...) Figure 1 (as shown), rear beam assembly of the frame (such as) Figure 2 As shown), the secondary anti-collision beam assembly (such as...) Figure 3 (as shown) and the water tank mounting beam assembly (such as Figure 4 Taking the example shown, although the main body of these components is long and narrow, there are obvious differences in their dimensions along the width direction W. Specifically, the front beam assembly of the frame is the widest, followed by the rear beam assembly of the frame, the sub-square anti-collision beam assembly, and the crossbeam assembly for the water tank is the narrowest.
[0004] Therefore, when testing two or more of the aforementioned components, it is necessary to prepare multiple fixtures that are precisely compatible with different components in advance. This will undoubtedly increase production costs significantly. Moreover, after testing a certain component, the corresponding fixture must be changed to fix the next component to be tested. This process consumes a lot of time for changing fixtures, resulting in a significant reduction in testing efficiency and seriously affecting the overall production efficiency and benefits of vehicle manufacturing. Utility Model Content
[0005] Based on this, the purpose of this utility model is to overcome the defects or deficiencies of the prior art and provide a vehicle parts fixture that can reduce the number of fixtures required for different vehicle parts, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the fixtures. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for frequent fixture replacements during actual testing, reducing the time spent on fixture replacements and effectively improving testing efficiency.
[0006] A vehicle component clamp is provided for securing at least two vehicle components with elongated main body structures, wherein the width of each vehicle component body is different. The clamp includes two clamping mechanisms arranged opposite each other along a first direction. Each clamping mechanism includes a clamping member, the top of which has an open clamping groove, designated as a first clamping groove. A first vehicle component body is allowed to pass through one side of the first clamping groove along the first direction, and the bottom wall of the first clamping groove forms a first support plane. When the first vehicle component body is inserted into the first clamping groove, its bottom abuts against the first support plane. The first support plane has another clamping groove along its height direction, designated as a second clamping groove. The width of the second clamping groove opening along a second direction is less than the width of the first support plane along the same direction. A second vehicle component body is allowed to pass through one side of the second clamping groove along the first direction, and the bottom wall of the second clamping groove forms a second support plane. When the second vehicle component body is inserted into the second clamping groove, its bottom abuts against the second support plane. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction.
[0007] Compared to existing technologies, the vehicle component fixture of this invention utilizes at least two stepped clamping grooves along the height direction on two opposing clamping members. By employing the dimensional differences in each clamping groove, it effectively secures vehicle components with elongated structures but varying widths. This allows for the efficient fixing of at least two different widths of vehicle components using the same fixture, significantly reducing the number of fixtures required to accommodate multiple component sizes and thus substantially lowering manufacturing costs. In actual testing, because the same fixture can accommodate multiple components, frequent fixture changes are unnecessary, completely eliminating time wasted on fixture replacements and making the testing process more compact and efficient, effectively improving overall testing efficiency.
[0008] In one embodiment, the second support plane has another clamping groove along the height direction, which is a third clamping groove; the width of the opening of the third clamping groove along the second direction is smaller than the width of the second support plane along the same direction; the third clamping groove allows the body of the third vehicle component to pass through on one side along the first direction; the bottom wall of the third clamping groove forms a third support plane; when the body of the third vehicle component passes into the third clamping groove, the bottom of the body abuts against the third support plane.
[0009] In one embodiment, the third support plane has another clamping groove along the height direction, which is a fourth clamping groove; the width of the opening of the fourth clamping groove along the second direction is smaller than the width of the third support plane; one side of the fourth clamping groove along the first direction allows the body of the fourth vehicle component to pass through; the bottom wall of the fourth clamping groove forms a fourth support plane; when the body of the fourth vehicle component passes into the fourth clamping groove, the bottom of the body abuts against the fourth support plane.
[0010] In one embodiment, the top of the clamping member has another open clamping groove adjacent to the first clamping groove along the second direction, which is a fourth clamping groove; one side of the fourth clamping groove along the first direction allows the body of a fourth vehicle component to pass through, and the bottom wall of the fourth clamping groove forms a fourth support plane. When the body of the fourth vehicle component passes into the fourth clamping groove, the bottom of the body abuts against the fourth support plane.
[0011] In one embodiment, the depth of each clamping slot is not less than 1 / 2 of the thickness of the main body of the vehicle component being clamped.
[0012] In one embodiment, the vehicle component clamp further includes a horizontally arranged first support member, the top surface of which is a first bearing surface. When a vehicle component is clamped in any clamping slot, the first bearing surface can abut against the support column of the vehicle component fixed below its main body.
[0013] In one embodiment, the first bearing surface is provided with a first positioning protrusion.
[0014] In one embodiment, the vehicle component clamp further includes a second carrier member, the top surface of which is a second bearing surface, and the second bearing surface has a height difference with the first bearing surface; when a vehicle component is clamped in the first clamping slot or the second clamping slot, the second bearing surface can abut against the support column of the vehicle component fixed below its main body.
[0015] In one embodiment, the second bearing surface is provided with a second positioning protrusion.
[0016] In one embodiment, the vehicle component clamp further includes a positioning member disposed opposite to any clamping slot along the first direction. The positioning member is provided with a positioning support surface at a position facing any clamping slot. The width of the positioning support surface along the second direction is greater than or equal to the width of the bottom wall of the corresponding clamping slot along the same direction. When a vehicle component is clamped in any clamping slot, the positioning support surface can abut against any one of the top surface, bottom surface, or end surface of the main body of the vehicle component.

[0032] Because different automotive parts have specific dimensions, each part requires a dedicated fixture precisely matched to it for testing. This one-to-one fixture setup significantly increases the number of fixtures needed, directly leading to a substantial increase in production costs. Furthermore, in the actual testing process, each time a part is changed, the existing fixture must be disassembled and replaced with the fixture corresponding to the next part. This process is not only cumbersome and complex but also time-consuming. This extra time spent on fixture changes prolongs the entire testing process, greatly reducing testing efficiency and severely impacting the overall progress and efficiency of vehicle production.
[0033] Based on this, the vehicle component fixture of this utility model has at least two stepped clamping grooves along the height direction on two opposing clamping members. By utilizing the dimensional difference of each clamping groove, it can correspondingly fix vehicle components with a long strip structure but different width dimensions. This achieves effective fixation of at least two different width dimensions of vehicle components with the same vehicle component fixture. This greatly reduces the number of vehicle component fixtures required, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the fixtures. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for frequent fixture changes during actual testing, reducing the time spent on fixture replacement and effectively improving testing efficiency. In addition, by utilizing the unique structure of different vehicle components, different support surfaces are set around the clamping members. The clamping grooves of the clamping members cooperate with these support surfaces to form multi-faceted contact with the vehicle components, thereby enhancing the stabilizing effect of the vehicle component fixture on the vehicle components.
[0034] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0035] Figure 5 The specific structure of one embodiment of the universal clamp of this utility model is shown. For example... Figure 5 As shown, the vehicle component fixture in this embodiment is used to fix vehicle components with a long and narrow structure (such as...). Figure 1-4(As shown). The vehicle component fixture includes two clamping mechanisms 10 arranged opposite each other along a first direction D1. Each clamping mechanism 10 includes a clamping member 100, which is specifically an "L"-shaped plate, including a horizontally arranged base plate 1000 and a side plate 1100 vertically fixed to the base plate 1000. The top of the side plate 1100 has an open first clamping groove for securing a first vehicle component. The longitudinal section of the first clamping groove along the first direction D1 is rectangular, allowing the main body of the first vehicle component to pass through on opposite sides along the first direction D1. The bottom wall of the first clamping groove forms a first support plane 1101a. The width of the first support plane 1101a is equal to or slightly greater than the width of the main body of the first vehicle component. When one end of the main body of the first vehicle component passes through the first clamping groove along its length direction L, the bottom of the main body abuts against the first support plane 1101a. The first support plane 1101a has a second clamping groove along the height direction H for securing a second vehicle component whose main body is narrower than that of the first vehicle component. The longitudinal section of the second clamping groove along the first direction D1 is rectangular, allowing the main body of the second vehicle component to pass through on opposite sides along the first direction D1. The width of the upper opening of the second clamping groove along the second direction D2 is less than the width of the first support plane 1101a along the same direction, but equal to or slightly greater than the width of the main body of the second vehicle component, wherein the second direction D2 is perpendicular to the first direction D1. Thus, the second vehicle component can pass through the first clamping groove from top to bottom and fall into the second clamping groove, while the first vehicle component cannot enter the second clamping groove. The bottom wall of the second clamping groove forms a second support plane 1102a, the width of which is equal to or slightly greater than the width of the main body of the second vehicle component. When one end of the main body of the second vehicle component passes through the second clamping groove along its length direction L, the bottom of the main body abuts against the second support plane 1102a.
[0036] In use, the two clamping members 100 are placed at their relative positions along the first direction D1 at the testing station of the testing line, and the base plates 1000 of the two clamping members 100 are fixed to the support surface of the testing station using fasteners. Then, the two ends of the first vehicle component along its length L are respectively clamped into the first clamping grooves of the two clamping members 100. The first vehicle component is fixed by the three-sided clamping formed by the opposite side walls of the first clamping groove along the second direction D2 and the first support plane 1101a, so that the testing line can test the first vehicle component. After the test is completed, the first vehicle component is removed, and the two ends of the second vehicle component along its length L are respectively clamped into the second clamping grooves of the two clamping members 100. The second vehicle component is fixed by the three-sided clamping formed by the opposite side walls of the first clamping groove along the second direction D2 and the second support plane 1102a, so that the testing line can test the second vehicle component. Of course, the testing order of the first vehicle components and the second vehicle components in the above testing process can be interchanged as needed. The first vehicle components can specifically be as follows: Figure 1 The widest front beam assembly shown is 1, while the second vehicle component can be as follows: Figure 2-4 Any of the following: a rear beam assembly 2, a sub-side impact beam assembly 3, or a radiator mounting crossbeam assembly 4, with a width less than that of the front beam assembly 1; or, the first vehicle component is as follows: Figure 2 The rear beam assembly 2 of the vehicle frame is shown, while the second vehicle component is a sub-square anti-collision beam assembly 3 with a width smaller than that of the rear beam assembly 2 of the vehicle frame, or a water tank mounting crossbeam assembly 4.
[0037] Thus, by using two clamping members 100 that are arranged opposite each other and have at least two stepped clamping grooves opened along the height direction, the difference in size of each clamping groove corresponds to the clamping of a first vehicle part and a second vehicle part, which are long strip structures but have different widths. This achieves effective fixation of at least two different widths of vehicle parts by the same vehicle part clamp, which can reduce the number of vehicle part clamps required, thereby reducing the manufacturing cost of the clamps. Furthermore, in the actual inspection process, there is no need to frequently change the clamps, reducing the time spent on changing the clamps and effectively improving the inspection efficiency.
[0038] Furthermore, based on the same technical concept, the second support plane 1102a of the aforementioned vehicle component clamp is also provided with a third clamping groove along the height direction H. The longitudinal section of the third clamping groove along the first direction D1 is rectangular or square, allowing the main body of the third vehicle component to pass through on both sides along the first direction D1. The width of the upper opening of the third clamping groove along the second direction D2 is less than the width of the second support plane 1102a along the same direction, but equal to or slightly greater than the width of the main body of the third vehicle component. In this way, the third vehicle component can pass through the first clamping groove and the second clamping groove from top to bottom and fall into the third clamping groove, while neither the first nor the second vehicle component can enter the third clamping groove. The bottom wall of the third clamping groove forms a third support plane 1103a, the width of which is equal to or slightly greater than the width of the main body of the third vehicle component. In this way, the third clamping slot can be used to secure a third vehicle component with a width smaller than that of the second vehicle component. For example, when the first clamping slot is used to secure the front beam assembly 1 of the frame and the second clamping slot is used to secure the rear beam assembly 2 of the frame, the third clamping slot can be used for the sub-square anti-collision beam assembly 3 or the water tank mounting crossbeam assembly 4, which has a smaller main body width.
[0039] Of course, if the height of the clamping member 100 is sufficient, more clamping slots can be formed along the height direction H based on the third support plane 1103a, forming four or even more levels of stepped clamping slots to accommodate more vehicle parts of different widths. However, in practical applications, the height of the clamping member 100 is often limited by the arrangement of functional mechanisms near the inspection station of the inspection line. The height setting of the clamping member 100 is limited, and therefore the clamping slots cannot be formed indefinitely along the depth direction. However, in order to make the vehicle part fixture as applicable as possible to more vehicle parts of different widths, such as Figure 5 As shown, a fourth clamping groove is formed at the top of the clamping member 100 of the vehicle parts fixture, adjacent to the first clamping groove 1001 along the second direction D2. Based on each fourth clamping groove, multiple stepped clamping grooves can be formed along its height to meet the clamping needs of parts with different widths and dimensions. Figure 5 In the illustrated embodiment, a fourth clamping groove is provided on each of the opposite sides of the first clamping groove 1001 along its second direction D2. The longitudinal section of the fourth clamping groove along the first direction D1 is also rectangular, allowing the main body of the fourth vehicle component to pass through on its opposite sides along the first direction D1. The bottom wall of the fourth clamping groove forms a four-support plane 1104a, the width of which along the second direction D2 is equal to or slightly greater than the width of the main body of the fourth vehicle component. When one end of the main body of the fourth vehicle component passes through the fourth clamping groove, the bottom of the main body abuts against the fourth support plane 1104a. In practical applications, the fourth clamping groove can be used to secure the crossbeam assembly 4 of a water tank with a smaller main body width.
[0040] In the aforementioned vehicle component clamping fixture, the depths of the first clamping groove, the second clamping groove, the third clamping groove, and the fourth clamping groove can all be adjusted according to the thickness of the main body of the vehicle component being clamped. The depth of the clamping groove should be greater than 1 / 2 of the thickness of the vehicle component being clamped. If the depth of the clamping groove is too shallow, the contact area with the vehicle component is small, and the clamping of the vehicle component is unstable.
[0041] To more securely fasten vehicle components, the unique structures of the components, excluding the main body, can be further utilized to create more surface contact between the component clamp and these structures, thereby increasing the firmness of the component's hold within the clamp. Figure 1 and Figure 3 Taking the front beam assembly 1 and the secondary anti-collision beam assembly 3 as examples, their main bodies are both elongated structures. Support columns supporting the main body are fixed below both ends along the length L of the main body. The bottom edge of each support column has a horizontally arranged flange with positioning through holes. To more securely fasten the front beam assembly 1 and the secondary anti-collision beam assembly 3 to the vehicle component clamp, in some embodiments, each clamping mechanism 10 further includes a first bearing member 101. For example... Figure 5 , 6 As shown in Figure 8, the first bearing member 101 is specifically a horizontally arranged flat plate, the top surface of which is a first bearing surface 1010. The first bearing surface 1010 is provided with a first positioning protrusion, which can be inserted into a positioning through hole on the flange of the support column of the front beam assembly 1 or the sub-square anti-collision beam assembly 3 to limit the position of the support column in the horizontal direction. The first bearing member 101 can be a component independent of the clamping member 100 (e.g., Figure 5 , 6 (As shown in Figure 8), it can also be integrally formed with the clamping member 100. Of course, if the first carrier member 101 and the clamping member 100 are set as two independent parts, the positions of the first carrier member 101 and the clamping member 100 can be adjusted as needed, which provides greater flexibility to adapt to more vehicle parts with different structures.
[0042] When fixing the front beam assembly 1 or the sub-square anti-collision beam assembly 3, firstly, fix the clamping member 100 and the first bearing member 101 to the support surface of the inspection station with fasteners. Then, clamp the two ends of the main body of the front beam assembly 1 or the sub-square anti-collision beam assembly 3 along its length direction L into the clamping grooves on the two clamping members 100 that are adapted to their width dimensions. At the same time, the bottoms of the two support columns of the front beam assembly 1 abut against the two first bearing surfaces 1010, and make the first positioning protrusion on the first bearing surface 1010 pass through the positioning through hole of the flange of the support column. In this way, the vehicle parts fixture forms multi-faceted contact with the main body of the front beam assembly 1 or the sub-square anti-collision beam assembly 3 and the support columns, which can more firmly fix the front beam assembly 1 or the sub-square anti-collision beam assembly 3 in the vehicle parts fixture. Here, the thickness of the first bearing member 101 can be adjusted according to actual needs, as long as the support column of the inserted vehicle component can abut against the first bearing surface 1010.
[0043] However, some components, while also having supporting columns, have relatively short supporting columns, such as... Figure 2 The rear beam assembly 2 of the vehicle frame is shown. When the main body of the rear beam assembly 2 is engaged in the clamping groove adapted to the clamping mechanism 10, its support column may not be able to abut against the first bearing surface 1010. Therefore, to accommodate support columns of different lengths, in some embodiments, the vehicle component clamp also includes a second bearing member 102. Figure 5 , 7 As shown, the second support member 102 is specifically a rectangular block, with its top surface being the second support surface 1020. The height of the second support surface 1020 from the ground is greater than the height of the first support surface 1010 from the ground. The second support surface 1020 is provided with a second positioning protrusion. Here, the second support member 102 can be fixedly placed on the first support surface 1010 of the first support member 101 (e.g., Figure 5 , 7 (As shown), it can also be a component independent of the first bearing member 101, as long as there is a height difference between the second bearing surface 1020 and the first bearing surface 1010, so that the support column of the vehicle component can be selectively abutted on the first bearing surface 1010 or the second bearing surface 1020.
[0044] When fixing the rear beam assembly 2, firstly, the clamping member 100 and the first bearing member 101 are fixed to the inspection station with fasteners. Then, the two ends of the main body of the rear beam assembly 2 along its length L are respectively clamped into the corresponding clamping grooves on the two clamping members 100. At the same time, the bottoms of the two support columns of the rear beam assembly 2 are respectively abutted against the two second bearing surfaces 1020, and the second positioning protrusions on the second bearing surfaces 1020 are inserted into the positioning through holes of the flanges of the support columns. In this way, the vehicle parts fixture can better fix the rear beam assembly 2 in the vehicle parts fixture by forming multi-faceted contact with the main body of the rear beam assembly 2 and the support columns.
[0045] In addition, there are some components, such as Figure 4 The water tank mounting beam assembly 4 shown does not have supporting columns for the main body, but its main body has arc-shaped segments with large curvature at both ends along the length direction L. To make the position of the water tank mounting beam assembly 4 more stable, in some embodiments, the vehicle component clamp also includes a positioning member 103 fixed to the first bearing member 101. Figure 5 and 9 As shown, the positioning member 103 is a rectangular body, positioned opposite the fourth clamping groove along the first direction D1. The positioning member 103 has a positioning groove facing the fourth clamping groove, and the bottom wall of the positioning groove forms a positioning support surface 1030a. The width of the positioning support surface 1030a along the second direction D2 is equal to the width of the fourth support plane 1104a along the same direction, that is, equal to or slightly greater than the width of the crossbeam assembly 4 installed on the water tank. Of course, the width of the positioning support surface 1030a along the second direction D2 can also be greater than the width of the fourth support plane 1104a along the same direction to provide some adjustment space.
[0046] When fixing the water tank mounting beam assembly 4, the two ends of the main body of the water tank mounting beam assembly 4 along its length direction L are secured in the fourth clamping groove of the clamping member 100, with the arc-shaped sections at both ends facing downwards. The arc-shaped sections are inserted into the positioning groove, and the end faces of the arc-shaped sections abut against the positioning support surface 1030a of the positioning groove. When the width of the positioning support surface 1030a along the second direction D2 is equal to the width of the fourth support plane 1104a along the same direction, the two side walls of the positioning groove along the second direction D2 will also contact the side of the arc-shaped section, forming a clamping effect on the end of the arc-shaped section with the positioning support surface 1030a. In this way, the cooperation between the fourth clamping groove and the positioning groove forms multi-faceted contact for the water tank mounting beam assembly 4, thereby greatly enhancing the stability of the water tank mounting beam assembly 4.
[0047] Compared to existing technologies, the vehicle component fixture of this invention utilizes at least two stepped clamping grooves along the height direction on two opposing clamping members. By employing the dimensional differences in each clamping groove, it effectively secures vehicle components with elongated structures but varying widths. This significantly reduces the number of fixtures required to accommodate multiple component sizes, thereby substantially lowering manufacturing costs. Furthermore, in actual testing, the single fixture's compatibility with various components eliminates the need for frequent fixture changes, completely avoiding time wasted on fixture replacements and making the testing process more compact and efficient, effectively improving overall testing efficiency. Moreover, by utilizing the unique structures of different vehicle components, different support surfaces are provided around the clamping members. The clamping grooves of the clamping members engage with these support surfaces to create multi-faceted contact with the vehicle components, enhancing the fixture's stability.
