[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, this utility model provides a clamping and positioning device for automobile door panels and patch panels, including: a flexible working platform 1 and an automobile door panel 4, wherein the automobile door panel 4 is clamped and positioned at the upper end of the flexible working platform 1.

[0020] The upper surface of the flexible work platform 1 is supported by a workpiece support plate 2 via a support rod 21. A clamping pressure plate 3 is distributed on the upper end of the workpiece support plate 2. A high-strength welding clamping cylinder 22 is connected to the side end of the clamping pressure plate 3 via a connecting block 31. The clamping pressure plate 3 is connected to a limit pressure column 35 via a limit groove 34. A spring 33 is connected to the upper end of the limit pressure column 35. An adjusting plate 5 is inserted into the lower end of the car door panel 4. A support plate 55 is connected to the lower end of the adjusting plate 5 via a connecting key 54. An adjusting stud 51 is connected to the inner end of the support plate 55 via a drive block 57. A support base 52 is connected to the lower end of the adjusting stud 51 via a bearing.

[0021] First, take the car door panel and patch panel to be welded to the upper end of the flexible work platform 1. First, position and insert the car door panel and patch panel into the positioning pin 53 on the adjustment plate 5. Rotate the adjustment stud 51 to adjust the height of the adjustment plate 5 so that the lower end face of the car door panel and patch panel is in contact with the upper surface of the workpiece support plate 2. Then, move the multiple positioning components on the flexible work platform 1 so that the upper and lower surfaces of the car door panel and patch panel are clamped with the clamping pressure plate 3 and the workpiece support plate 2. Then, fix the clamped positioning components with the fixing holes 11 of the workpiece support plate 2 to complete the clamping and positioning operation of the car door panel and patch panel.

[0022] In this embodiment, the flexible work platform 1 has fixed holes 11 at equal intervals on its surface, and the flexible work platform 1 is connected to the workpiece support plate 2 and the support base 52 through the fixed holes 11 respectively.

[0023] As a preferred embodiment, the flexible work platform 1 uses multiple sets of fixing holes 11 to facilitate the positioning of the clamping and positioning components of the car door panel and patch panel, so that the car door panel and patch panel can be stably placed at the upper end of the flexible work platform 1.

[0024] In this embodiment, a rotary positioner 6 is connected to the lower end of the flexible work platform 1, a workpiece support plate 2 is fixed to the upper end of the support rod 21, and a high-strength welding clamping cylinder 22 is installed on the side end of the support rod 21. An anti-slip pad 23 is bonded to the upper surface of the workpiece support plate 2, and a limiting pressure column 35 is distributed at the upper end of the anti-slip pad 23; and a rebound pad 36 is bonded to the lower surface of the limiting pressure column 35.

[0025] In a preferred embodiment, the rotary positioner 6 uses an internal rotating mechanism to rotate the flexible work platform 1 in the horizontal plane, facilitating automatic adjustment of the welding orientation. The high-power welding clamping cylinder 22 controls the downward pressure of the clamping plate 3, holding the car door panel and patch plate between the clamping plate 3 and the workpiece support plate 2, preventing displacement during welding. Multiple sets of limiting pressure posts 35 on the lower end face of the clamping plate 3 allow for elastic pressing against the upper surface of the car door panel and patch plate.

[0026] In this embodiment, a cover plate 32 is screwed to the upper end face of the clamping plate 3, and a limiting groove 34 is opened inside the clamping plate 3; and the spring 33 is supported in the limiting groove 34.

[0027] As a preferred embodiment, the cover plate 32 can be removed to replace the spring 34 inside the limiting groove 34. The spring 34 provides elastic support for the limiting pressure column 35, allowing multiple sets of limiting pressure columns 35 to fully conform to the surfaces of the car door panel and patch panel with inconsistent thicknesses, ensuring that the clamping and positioning device can efficiently and stably clamp the car door panel and patch panel with inconsistent thicknesses.

[0028] In this embodiment, a positioning pin 53 is fixed to the upper end face of the adjusting plate 5, and a keyway 56 is provided on the inner side of the adjusting plate 5, into which a connecting key 54 is inserted. The lower end of the connecting key 54 is connected to a support plate 55 via a bearing post, and a rotating plate 58 is fixed to the cylindrical surface of the adjusting stud 51.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting plate 5 is positioned by engaging with the pin holes on the car door panel and patch panel via the positioning pin 53. The keyway 56 allows for adjustment of the connection position between the adjusting plate 5 and the connecting key 54. The rotating plate 58 drives the adjusting stud 51 to rotate, causing the driving block 57 to convert the rotational motion of the adjusting stud 51 into linear motion, thereby moving the adjusting plate 5 upward to fit against the lower end face of the car door panel and patch panel.

[0030] This utility model's automotive door panel and patch plate clamping and positioning device effectively solves the problem of existing irregular automotive door ring patch plates having irregular shapes and inconsistent thicknesses, making it difficult to stably clamp and position the door panels and patch plates for welding. It facilitates the clamping components of the clamping and positioning device to fully fit and clamp the automotive door panels and patch plates, ensuring efficient and stable clamping of automotive door panels and patch plates with inconsistent thicknesses. It also facilitates positioning the welding processing position according to the shape of the automotive door panels and patch plates, ensuring the welding processing quality of the automotive door panels and patch plates, and improving the practicality of the clamping and positioning device. It is applicable to automotive door panel and patch plate clamping and positioning devices.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
