DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] The following description, with reference to the accompanying drawings, provides a more detailed explanation of the specific embodiments of this utility model, including the shape and structure of each component, the relative positions and connections between the parts, the functions and working principles of each part:

[0030] As attached Figure 1 - Appendix Figure 10 As shown, this utility model is an assembly device for a car body fender, including a suction cup 1, a contouring base block 2, and a limiting block 3. One side of the contouring base block 2 has a contouring surface 4. The suction cup 1 is installed in an mounting groove 5 on one side of the contouring surface 4. The limiting block 3 is installed on the side of the contouring base block 2, and the limiting section 6 of the limiting block 3 protrudes from the contouring surface 4. This utility model belongs to the field of final assembly in the new energy vehicle manufacturing industry, where the car body reaches a standard state after various processes, including hood assembly and latching. The fender is an exterior covering of the car body, serving both decorative and aesthetic purposes, ensuring the quality of the car's exterior appearance. The fender typically has a matching relationship with the two front doors, hood, left and right headlights, and front bumper. To simulate the matching state of the entire vehicle, an auxiliary assembly device is needed during assembly. This invention addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing an improved technical solution. During assembly, the suction cup 1, the contour block 2, and the limiting block 3 are combined. The contour surface 4 of the contour block 2 is made according to the surface shape of the front door 16 that the contour block 2 needs to adhere to. Then, the limiting block 3 and the contour block 2 are connected, and the suction cup 1 is connected to the mounting groove 5. The suction cup 1 and the contour block 2 are fixedly connected. In use, the operator moves the device to the mounting position near the fender 17, and then uses the suction cup 1 to adhere to the front door 16 near the fender 17. The limiting segment 6 of the limiting block 3 is engaged in the gap between the fender 17 and the front door 16, and the limiting segment 6 reliably fits the side of the front door 16. At this time, the gap is limited. The fender 17 is then installed, and the fender 17 fits the limiting segment 6. Finally, the fender 17 is fixed, and the installation is completed. After the operation is completed, force is applied to suction cup 1 to detach it from the front door 16. The device can then be easily and quickly removed for auxiliary installation of the fender 17 on the next vehicle. This device is reusable. By replacing the limiting block 3 with a different thickness in the limiting section 6, or by adding shims of different thicknesses between the limiting block 3 and the contour base block 2, auxiliary installation of fenders for different vehicle models and gap requirements can be achieved, effectively improving versatility and eliminating the need to manufacture multiple devices, thus reducing costs. The device described in this invention is characterized by simple manufacturing, low cost, and self-adjustability. Its characteristics can be adjusted according to actual vehicle installation needs, making it easy to assemble, convenient to use, and maintenance-free. The automotive body fender assembly device described in this invention has a simple structure and can conveniently and accurately control the gap between the fender and the front door during assembly in the final assembly workshop, achieving consistency in the fender and front door assembly, ensuring fender assembly quality, and providing simple and quick operation, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] The profile base block 2 and the limiting block 3 are connected by bolts 10. The limiting block 3 includes a body part 9 and a limiting segment 6, which are L-shaped. With the above structure, the bolts reliably secure the profile base block 2 and the limiting block 3. After removing the bolts, the limiting blocks with different limiting segments can be replaced to meet the auxiliary assembly requirements of fenders for different vehicle models.

[0032] The suction cup 1 passes through the positioning hole 8 on the contour base block 2 via a fixing rod 7. With this structure, after installation, the bottom of the suction cup fits against the bottom of the groove, and the top adheres to the corresponding position on the front door.

[0033] The outer surface 11 of the contour block 2 is provided with a notch 12, and the body 9 of the limiting block 3 is configured to be able to be fitted into the notch 12. In the above structure, after the limiting block and the contour block are connected, the limiting section of the limiting block protrudes outward and extends between the front door and the fender to control the gap between the front door and the fender, which is determined by the thickness of the limiting section.

[0034] The aforementioned automotive body fender assembly device also includes a gasket 13, which has a recess 14, the width of which is greater than the diameter of the bolt 10. The gasket 13 is clamped between the limiting block 3 and the contour base block 2. By adding gaskets of different thicknesses between the limiting block 3 and the contour base block 2, the thickness of the limiting section can be changed. The limiting thickness is the sum of the thickness of the limiting section and the gasket, enabling fender installation for different vehicle models and gap requirements, thus improving versatility.

[0035] A handle 15 is mounted on the outer surface 11 of the contouring base 2. In this structure, the handle on the contouring base is used by the operator to hold the device, improving ease of use.

[0036] When the aforementioned automobile body fender assembly device is used, the modeling base block 2 is configured to be able to be adsorbed onto the surface of the front door 16 by the suction cup 1, and the limiting section 6 of the limiting block 3 is configured to be able to be fitted into the gap between the front door 16 and the fender 17.

[0037] The automobile body fender assembly device of this utility model is assembled by combining a suction cup 1, a contour block 2, and a limiting block 3. The contour surface 4 of the contour block 2 is made according to the surface shape of the front door 16 to be adsorbed by the contour block 2. Then, the limiting block 3 and the contour block 2 are connected, and the suction cup 1 is connected to the mounting groove 5. The suction cup 1 and the contour block 2 are fixedly connected. In use, the operator moves the device close to the mounting position of the fender 17, and then uses the suction cup 1 to adsorb the device onto the front door 16 near the fender 17. The limiting segment 6 of the limiting block 3 is engaged in the gap between the fender 17 and the front door 16, and the limiting segment 6 reliably fits the side of the front door 16 to limit the gap. The fender 17 fits the limiting segment 6, and then the fender 17 is fixed, thus completing the installation. After the operation is completed, apply force to suction cup 1 to detach it from the front door 16. The device can then be easily and quickly removed for auxiliary installation on the fender 17 of the next vehicle. This device is reusable. By replacing the limiting block 3 with one of different thicknesses in the limiting section 6, or by adding shims of different thicknesses between the limiting block 3 and the contour base block 2, auxiliary installation on fenders of different vehicle models and with varying gap requirements can be achieved, effectively improving versatility and eliminating the need to manufacture multiple devices, thus reducing costs. The device described in this invention is characterized by its simple manufacturing, low cost, and self-adjustability. Its characteristics can be adjusted according to actual vehicle installation needs, making it easy to assemble, convenient to use, and maintenance-free.
