[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0023] In some embodiments, please refer to the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 5A water pump assembly bracket clamping fixture includes a base plate 1, a support frame 2, an adjustable water pump bracket mounting 3, an automatic clamping mechanism 4, and a mounting frame 5. The support frame 2 is fixedly mounted on the upper end of the base plate 1. An adjustable water pump bracket mounting 3, which is adapted to assemble water pump brackets of different sizes with the water pump body, is mounted on the upper end of the support frame 2. The adjustable water pump bracket mounting 3 includes a cylinder 31, a pressure plate 32, a control component 33 for controlling the movement of the cylinder 31, and a limit rod 34. The control component 33 is mounted on the support frame 2, the cylinder 31 is mounted on the control component 33, and the output end of the cylinder 31 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 32. The limit rods 34 are symmetrically fixedly mounted on the upper end of the pressure plate 32 and are connected to the control component 33. A rubber anti-slip pad is provided at the lower end of the pressure plate 32.

[0024] A mounting bracket 5 is fixedly installed on the upper front side of the base plate 1; an automatic clamping mechanism 4 for automatically pre-clamping and securing the water pump body is installed on the mounting bracket 5.

[0025] In this invention, the water pump body is placed on the upper end of the mounting bracket 5, and then the automatic clamping mechanism 4 fixes the water pump body, keeping it vertically fixed. This prevents the water pump body from shaking and affecting the installation of the water pump bracket, improving the practicality of the device. Furthermore, it eliminates the need for an additional positioning mechanism, reducing the operator's workload in positioning the water pump body. After the water pump body is fixed, the operator places the water pump bracket on top of the water pump body, and then the control component 33 drives the cylinder 31 to move to the upper part of the water pump body. When cylinder 31 operates, it drives pressure plate 32 to move downwards along with limit rod 34, so that pressure plate 32 contacts water pump bracket. Under the set pressure, cylinder 31 presses water pump bracket tightly onto water pump body. Then, the operator fixes water pump bracket to water pump body by changing torque wrench. Afterwards, cylinder 31 operates to drive pressure plate 32 to reset, and automatic clamping mechanism 4 releases the lock on water pump body. By applying uniform pressure to water pump bracket by cylinder 31, accurate positioning of water pump bracket and water pump body is completed, preventing bracket position deviation and ensuring assembly accuracy.

[0026] The automatic clamping mechanism 4 includes a clamping block 42, a clamping spring 43, a push rod 44, a rotating rod 45, and a clamping plate 46. A sliding groove 41 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the mounting frame 5, and the clamping block 42 is slidably connected to the sliding groove 41. The lower end of the clamping block 42 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the clamping spring 43. The lower end of the clamping spring 43 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the base plate 1. Both ends of the clamping block 42 are hinged to one end of a push rod 44. The other end of the push rod 44 is hinged to the lower end of the rotating rod 45. The mounting frame 5 has symmetrical clearance grooves 47 on both the left and right ends. The rotating rod 45 is located within the clearance groove 47, and its middle part is hinged to the mounting frame 5. A clamping plate 46 is hinged to one end of each of the two rotating rods 45 that is close to each other. The contact surfaces of the two clamping plates 46 with the pump body are arc-shaped to increase the contact area with the pump body. Both rotating rods 45 are in an outwardly extended state under normal conditions.

[0027] In this utility model, when the water pump body is placed on the mounting bracket 5, the water pump body will press down on the clamping block 42. The clamping block 42 moves down along the sliding groove 41 and compresses the clamping spring 43, so that the two push rods 44 push the rotating rod 45 in opposite directions at the same time, so that the two rotating rods 45 drive the clamping plate 46 to hug the water pump body from the left and right sides at the same time in the direction of approaching each other.

[0028] The control component 33 includes a first servo motor 331, a first lead screw 332, a first guide rod 334, and a moving plate 335. A moving groove 333 is provided on the upper front side of the support frame 2. The left and right ends of the first lead screw 332 are rotatably connected to the left and right ends of the moving groove 333, and the left and right ends of the first guide rod 334 are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the moving groove 333. The first servo motor 331 is fixedly installed on the right end of the support frame 2 by a bracket, and the output end of the first servo motor 331 is fixedly connected to the right end of the first lead screw 332. The moving plate 335 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 332. The moving plate 335 is slidably connected to the first guide rod 334. The cylinder 31 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the moving plate 335, and the limiting rod 34 is slidably connected to the moving plate 335.

[0029] In this utility model, since the installation positions of water pump bodies of different sizes on the mounting bracket 5 are different, after the water pump body is fixed, the first servo motor 331 drives the first lead screw 332 to rotate, so that the moving plate 335 moves along the first guide rod 334 and the moving groove 333. The moving plate 335 drives the cylinder 31 to move together until the pressure plate 32 is aligned with the upper end of the water pump body.
