Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of truck water tank technology, specifically a water tank lifting lug shaping tool. Background Technology
[0002] The main functions of a truck water tank include heat dissipation, maintaining stable engine temperature, cleaning, and preventing overheating damage. The water tank dissipates heat by circulating cooling water, helping the engine maintain its normal operating temperature range and preventing damage due to overheating. Components include the water tank body, cooling system, temperature sensor, water level gauge or float switch, and cover. During use, the lifting lugs of a truck water tank may be bent, requiring the use of lifting lug straightening tools for reshaping.
[0003] Existing lifting lug shaping fixtures typically consist of a support rod, a base, and a movable cylinder. The lifting lugs at the four corners of the water tank are placed on top of the support rod, and the spring-activated cylinder drives the pressing block to press down on the bent lifting lugs. After the water tank is placed on top of the support rod, the lifting lugs may shift off the support rod, resulting in a poorer pressing and shaping effect on the lifting lugs, which in turn affects the subsequent use of the water tank. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a water tank lifting lug shaping fixture to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that, during the use of the lifting lug shaping fixture, the lifting lug will shift off the support rod after the water tank is placed above the support rod, resulting in a poor pressing and shaping effect of the lifting lug.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a water tank lifting lug shaping fixture, comprising a base, a pressing structure, a driving part, and a transmission part. The pressing structure is disposed above the base and mainly consists of a movable slide rail, a mounting frame, and a cylinder. The movable slide rail is bolted to the base. The driving part is disposed above the base and has a mounting plate fixed to the base. There are two sets of mounting plates, and a rotating rod is rotatably connected between the two sets of mounting plates via a bearing seat. A motor is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the mounting plate, and the output end of the motor is connected to the rotating rod. The rotating plate is fixedly sleeved on the motor. The transmission part is disposed above the base and has a transmission plate disposed below the rotating plate. A connecting rod is hinged to the bottom of the transmission plate, and a sliding plate is hinged to the bottom end of the connecting rod. An adjusting plate is fixedly mounted above the sliding plate. Vertical movement of the transmission plate can drive the connecting rod to rotate, thereby driving the sliding plate to move horizontally above the base.
[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, the rotating plate can be driven to rotate by starting the motor. The rotation of the rotating plate can move the water tank to the top of the base. During the rotation of the rotating plate, it will press the transmission plate. The vertical movement of the transmission plate will drive the adjustment plate to move horizontally under the action of the connecting rod. The movement of the adjustment plate clamps the two sides of the water tank. The position of the water tank is adjusted by the adjustment plates on both sides, so that the lifting lugs at the four corners of the water tank are located above the base support rod, ensuring the pressing and shaping effect of the lifting lugs in the future.
[0007] Preferably, the base has a sliding groove, and a sliding block is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The sliding block is connected to the sliding plate by bolts. The sliding groove of the base is also provided with a spring, and the two ends of the spring are respectively attached to two sets of sliding blocks.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the sliding block can be quickly returned to its initial position by the addition of a spring, which is convenient and fast.
[0009] Preferably, a limiting rod is fixed above the base, and the limiting rod is slidably connected to the transmission plate.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, the transmission plate can be limited by the limiting rod, ensuring the stability of the transmission plate during vertical movement.
[0011] Preferably, a guide rod is fixed inside the sliding groove of the base, and the guide rod is slidably connected to the sliding block.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod can limit the sliding block, ensuring the stability of the sliding block during horizontal movement and preventing the sliding block from separating from the sliding groove.
[0013] Preferably, there are two sets of limiting rods, and both sets of limiting rods are slidably connected to the transmission plate.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the two ends of the transmission plate can be limited by two sets of limiting rods, which further ensures the stability of the transmission plate during vertical movement.
[0015] Preferably, a rubber pad is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate and a rubber pad is provided above the transmission plate.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution and by setting rubber pads, damage can be avoided when the transmission plate collides with the rotating plate.
[0017] Preferably, the guide rod is a cylinder, and the guide rod passes through the hole formed in the center of the spring.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the guide rod can limit the spring and reduce the occurrence of spring deformation and misalignment.
[0019] Preferably, a baffle is bolted to the top of the base, and a buffer pad is provided on the side of the baffle located on the rotating plate.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle can limit the downward movement of the water tank, preventing the water tank from detaching from the base support rod.
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0022] Starting the motor drives the rotating plate to rotate, which moves the water tank above the base. During the rotation, the rotating plate presses down on the transmission plate. The vertical movement of the transmission plate, under the action of the connecting rod, drives the adjusting plate to move horizontally. The movement of the adjusting plate clamps the two sides of the water tank. The position of the water tank is adjusted by the adjusting plates on both sides, so that the lifting lugs at the four corners of the water tank are positioned above the base support rod, ensuring the pressing and shaping effect of the lifting lugs later.

[0029] 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.
[0030] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0031] Example 1
[0032] Please see Figure 1-5This embodiment provides a technical solution: a water tank lifting lug shaping fixture, including a base 1, a pressing structure 2, a driving part 3, and a transmission part 4. Four sets of support rods are provided above the base 1 to support the lifting lugs at the four corners of the water tank. The support rods should be made of hard metal to prevent corrosion and tipping during use. The pressing structure 2 is located above the base 1 and mainly consists of a sliding rail, a mounting bracket, and a cylinder. The cylinder works by using compressed air to drive a piston in linear motion. The cylinder mainly consists of a cylinder body, a piston, and a sealing ring. Compressed air enters the cylinder and pushes the piston to move. The direction of piston rod movement is changed by altering the air intake direction. The sliding rail is bolted to the base 1. Activating the sliding rail moves the cylinder to press and shape the lifting lugs of the water tank. The sliding rail is an electric sliding rail driven by an electric motor: an electric motor is mounted on the sliding rail, which supplies electrical energy and converts it into mechanical energy to drive the movement of the sliding rail. The electric motor typically uses either an AC or DC motor, selected based on the specific design requirements of the slide rail. Transmission Mechanism: The electric motor converts rotary motion into linear motion through a transmission mechanism. Common transmission mechanisms include gear drives, belt drives, and worm gear drives. The choice of transmission mechanism depends on the slide rail's usage requirements and space constraints. Control System: Electric slide rails require a control system to control their movement. The control system generally consists of a power supply, a motor driver, and a controller. The power supply provides the operating current to the electric slide rail, the motor driver transmits the current to the motor, and the controller controls the motor's speed and direction based on the input control signals. Limit Devices: To ensure the range of motion and safety of the electric slide rail, limit devices are usually installed at both ends of the slide rail. These limit devices detect whether the slide rail has reached its limit position through physical contact or sensor signals. When the slide rail contacts the limit device, the motor stops to prevent damage. Safety Protection: To improve safety, electric slide rails are usually equipped with safety devices such as emergency stop buttons and protective covers. In case of an emergency, the user can quickly cut off the power using the emergency stop button. The protective cover can prevent accidental operation or unauthorized contact. The drive unit 3 is located above the base 1. The drive unit 3 has a mounting plate 301 fixed above the base 1. The mounting plate 301 is bolted to the top of the base 1, making it easy for workers to disassemble or install. There are two sets of mounting plates 301, and the two sets of mounting plates 301 are rotatably connected to a rotating rod 302 through a bearing seat. Both ends of the rotating rod 302 are rotatably connected to the mounting plate 301 to ensure the stability of the rotating rod 302 during rotation. A motor 303 is fixed to the outer wall of the mounting plate 301. The principle of the motor 303 is based on the law of electromagnetic induction. Its main function is to convert electrical energy into mechanical energy or vice versa.Electric motors can be divided into electric motors and generators. Electric motors convert electrical energy into mechanical energy, while generators convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. The output end of motor 303 is connected to rotating rod 302. Starting motor 303 drives rotating rod 302 to rotate. A rotating plate 304 is fixedly sleeved on motor 303 and connected to rotating plate 304 by bolts. Rotation of motor 303 drives rotating plate 304 to rotate, which in turn drives water tank to rotate and move it above the support rod of base 1. Transmission part 4 is located above base 1 and has a transmission plate 405 located below rotating plate 304. Made of stainless steel, the transmission plate 405 is protected from rust due to moisture. A connecting rod 408 is hinged to the bottom of the transmission plate 405. Vertical movement of the transmission plate 405 can drive the connecting rod 408 to rotate. A sliding plate 403 is hinged to the bottom of the connecting rod 408. Rotation of the connecting rod 408 can drive the sliding plate 403 to move horizontally. An adjusting plate 404 is fixed above the sliding plate 403. The sliding plate 403 is connected to the adjusting plate 404 by bolts. Horizontal movement of the sliding plate 403 can drive the adjusting plate 404 to move. Vertical movement of the transmission plate 405 can drive the connecting rod 408 to rotate, thereby causing the sliding plate 403 to move horizontally above the base 1.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] Please see Figure 1-5The base 1 has a sliding groove, and a sliding block 401 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The sliding block 401 is connected to the sliding plate 403 by bolts. The movement of the sliding plate 403 can drive the sliding block 401 to move. A spring 402 is also provided inside the sliding groove of the base 1, and the two ends of the spring 402 are respectively in contact with two sets of sliding blocks 401. The spring 402 can make the sliding block 401 quickly return to the initial position, which is convenient and quick. A limiting rod 406 is fixed on the top of the base 1, and the limiting rod 406 is slidably connected to the transmission plate 405. The limiting rod 406 can limit the transmission plate 405 to ensure the stability of the transmission plate 405 during vertical movement. A guide rod 407 is fixed inside the sliding groove of the base 1, and the guide rod 407 is slidably connected to the sliding block 401. The guide rod 407 can limit the sliding block 401 to ensure the stability of the sliding block 401 during horizontal movement and prevent overflow. Currently, the sliding block 401 is separated from the sliding groove. Two sets of limiting rods 406 are provided, and both sets of limiting rods 406 are slidably connected to the transmission plate 405. The two sets of limiting rods 406 can limit the two ends of the transmission plate 405, further ensuring the stability of the transmission plate 405 during vertical movement. A rubber pad is provided at the bottom of the rotating plate 304, and a rubber pad is provided on top of the transmission plate 405. The rubber pads prevent damage when the transmission plate 405 collides with the rotating plate 304. The guide rod 407 is a cylinder and passes through the hole formed in the center of the spring 402. The guide rod 407 can limit the spring 402 and reduce the occurrence of deformation and misalignment of the spring 402. A baffle 5 is bolted to the top of the base 1, and a buffer pad is provided on the side of the rotating plate 304 of the baffle 5. The baffle 5 can limit the downward movement of the water tank and prevent the water tank from detaching from the support rod of the base 1.
[0035] Working principle: First, place the water tank on top of the protruding plate of the rotating plate 304. Then, start the motor 303. The motor 303 will drive the rotating rod 302 to rotate. Since the rotating rod 302 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 304, the rotation of the rotating rod 302 will drive the rotating plate 304 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 304 will drive the water tank to rotate and gradually move to the top of the support rod of the base 1. When the height of the top of the rotating plate 304 gradually becomes lower than the height of the support rod of the base 1 during the rotation, the water tank gradually moves to the top of the support rod and fits against the inner side of the baffle 5.
[0036] Secondly, during the rotation of the water tank by the rotating plate 304, it will come into contact with the transmission plate 405. The rotation of the rotating plate 304 will cause the transmission plate 405 to move downward. Since the transmission plate 405 is hinged to the connecting rod 408, and the connecting rod 408 is hinged to the sliding plate 403, the downward movement of the transmission plate 405 will cause the sliding plate 403 to move to both sides of the water tank under the action of the connecting rod 408. The movement of the sliding plate 403 will cause the adjusting plate 404 to move and come into contact with both sides of the water tank. The position of the water tank can be adjusted by adjusting the adjusting plate 404 to reduce the occurrence of the water tank lifting lug deviating from the support rod of the base 1.
