Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, and in particular to a processing and fixing device for the inner panel of an automotive C-pillar. Background Technology

[0002] The C-pillar inner panel is an important component of the car structure. Located at the rear of the vehicle body, it connects the roof to the lower body and provides support for the roof, rear doors, and trunk. In modern automobile manufacturing, the design and manufacture of the C-pillar inner panel are crucial because it not only relates to the structural integrity and safety of the vehicle but also affects its aesthetics and aerodynamic performance.

[0003] As a key component of the vehicle body structure, the processing quality of the existing C-pillar inner panel directly affects the safety and comfort of the entire vehicle. Precise fixing of the C-pillar inner panel is required during welding, drilling, and grinding processes. Current technologies primarily use mechanical clamps for fixing the C-pillar inner panel. These traditional clamps are mostly rigid structures customized to the specific contours of the C-pillar inner panel for particular vehicle models, relying on bolt tightening or mechanical locking for fixation. However, since C-pillar inner panels vary in shape, traditional methods can only fix C-pillars of a single shape and size. If the shape of the C-pillar inner panel changes, problems such as insecure fixing, inaccurate positioning, and poor versatility arise, leading to low processing efficiency and unstable product quality. Therefore, a new C-pillar inner panel processing and fixing device is needed to ensure processing accuracy and quality. Utility Model Content

In actual machining, the inner panel of the automobile C-pillar, as a key component of the vehicle body structure, directly affects the safety and comfort of the entire vehicle. Precise fixing of the inner panel is required during welding, drilling, grinding, and other processes. However, existing technologies mainly use mechanical clamps for fixing the inner panel of the automobile C-pillar. These traditional clamps are mostly rigid structures customized according to the contour of the inner panel of a specific car model, relying on bolt tightening or mechanical clamping for fixing. Since the shape of the inner panel of an automobile C-pillar varies, traditional methods can only fix inner panels of a single shape and size. Once the shape of the inner panel changes, problems such as insecure fixing, inaccurate positioning, and poor versatility arise, leading to low processing efficiency and unstable product quality.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0006] This utility model relates to a device for processing and fixing the inner panel of an automobile C-pillar, comprising:

[0007] The processing component includes a device frame, a rotating shaft, and a rotating ring;

[0008] The positioning component includes a turntable, a first support plate, a second support plate, damping rings, damping rods, limiting blocks, sliding grooves, and sliders.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 As shown, this embodiment is a machining and fixing device for the inner panel of an automobile C-pillar, comprising:

[0033] The processing component includes a device frame 11, a rotating shaft 12, and a rotating ring 13;

[0034] The positioning component includes a turntable 21, a first support plate 22, a second support plate 23, damping rings 24, damping rods 25, a limiting block 26, a sliding groove 27, and a slider 28. The turntable 21 is connected to the upper surface of the device frame 11. The first support plate 22 is circumferentially and equidistantly connected to one end of the top of the turntable 21, and the second support plate 23 is circumferentially and equidistantly connected to the other end of the top of the turntable 21. Multiple damping rings 24 are connected to both ends of the outer surfaces of the first support plate 22 and the second support plate 23. Damping rods 25 are connected inside the damping rings 24, and the turntable 21 is connected to both ends of the outer surface of the damping rods 25.

[0035] The inner C-pillar panels of the car to be processed are placed on the top of the turntable 21 in sequence. The inner C-pillar panels of the car are different in size and shape. The inner C-pillar panels of the car are placed between the first support plate 22 and the second support plate 23. The damping rod 25 is pressed, so that the damping rod 25 moves inside the damping ring 24 and can be moved and adjusted arbitrarily according to the shape of the inner C-pillar panels of the car.

[0036] The bottom of the second support plate 23 is connected to a slider 28, and the top circumference of the turntable 21 is provided with grooves 27 at equal intervals, and the slider 28 is movably connected inside the grooves 27.

[0037] When the second support plate 23 is adjusted in position, its slider 28 slides inside the slide groove 27, which can support the second support plate 23.

[0038] It also includes a fixing component, which includes an internal threaded ring 31, a threaded rod 32, a handle 33, a rotating disk 34, a fixed disk 35, a positioning groove 36, a support rod 37, a vertical rod 38, a positioning block 39, and a guide ring 391. The outer surface of the rotating disk 21 is connected to the internal threaded ring 31, the threaded rod 32 is connected to the inside of the internal threaded ring 31, the handle 33 is rotatably connected to one end of the threaded rod 32, the rotating disk 34 is connected to the other end of the threaded rod 32, and the rotating disk 34 is connected to the outside of the slider 28.

[0039] Rotate the threaded rod 32 to advance the position of the second support plate 23, and use the first support plate 22 and the second support plate 23 to clamp and fix the inner panel of the C-pillar of the car.

[0040] Multiple support rods 37 are connected to the outer surface of the rotating ring 13. A guide ring 391 is movably connected to one end of the outer surface of the support rod 37. A vertical rod 38 is connected to the top of the guide ring 391. A positioning block 39 is connected to one end of the vertical rod 38. A fixed plate 35 is connected to the middle of one end of the threaded rod 32. A positioning groove 36 is opened inside the fixed plate 35. The positioning block 39 is inserted into the positioning groove 36.

[0041] The guide ring 391 moves outside the support rod 37 and adjusts the positioning block 39 according to the position of the fixed plate 35, so that the positioning block 39 is inserted into the positioning groove 36 to position the threaded rod 32 of the rotating screw.

[0042] A rotating shaft 12 is connected to the middle of the top of the device frame 11. A rotating ring 13 is rotatably connected to the upper part of the outer surface of the rotating shaft 12. Both the rotating ring 13 and the turntable 21 are connected to the bottom of the turntable 21.

[0043] The rotating shaft 12 drives the rotating turntable 21 to rotate, and the fixed C-pillar inner panel of the car is adjusted in sequence according to the position to be processed.

[0044] The working principle is as follows: First, the car C-pillar inner panels to be processed are placed sequentially on top of the turntable 21. Since different models of car C-pillar inner panels have different sizes and shapes, the inner panels are placed between the first support plate 22 and the second support plate 23. The threaded rod 32 is rotated, and the position of the second support plate 23 is adjusted so that the first and second support plates 22 and 23 are completely clamped to the outside of the car C-pillar inner panel. The damping rod 25, through compression, moves inside the damping ring 24, allowing for arbitrary movement and adjustment according to the shape of the car C-pillar inner panel to accommodate different shapes and sizes, ensuring accuracy and quality during subsequent processing. Next, the guide ring 391 can move outside the support rod 37. Based on the position of the threaded rod 32 after rotation, the positioning block 39 is adjusted so that it inserts into the positioning groove 36, fixing the position of the threaded rod 32 and preventing it from rotating back.

[0045] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment, based on the above embodiment, also includes a collection component. The collection component includes a storage frame 41, an extension rod 42, a handle 43, a moving groove 44, a limiting rod 45, a limiting groove 46, a moving block 47, and a tray 48. The storage frames 41 are connected to both sides of the outer surface of the device frame 11. The tray 48 is connected to the lower part of the inner surface of the storage frame 41. The moving groove 44 is symmetrically opened on one side of the outer surface of the storage frame 41. The moving block 47 is connected to one side of the outer surface of the tray 48 and is movably connected inside the moving groove 44.

[0046] The worker holds the handle 43 and moves the moving block 47 inside the moving slot 44 to lift the tray 48 upward as a whole, and the car C-pillar inner panel stored inside will be lifted out as a whole, which makes it easy to retrieve the innermost car C-pillar inner panel.

[0047] Limiting rods 45 are connected to both ends of the outer surface of the tray 48, and limiting grooves 46 are opened at both ends of the outer surface of the storage frame 41. The limiting rods 45 are movably connected inside the limiting grooves 46.

[0048] When the pallet 48 moves, the limiting rod 45 moves simultaneously inside the limiting groove 46, which can support the pallet 48.

[0049] The working principle is as follows: First, the inner C-pillar panel to be processed or the processed inner C-pillar panel is placed inside the collection boxes on both sides for storage. This makes it easy to retrieve the inner C-pillar panel during processing. The operator holds the handle 43 and moves the moving block 47 inside the moving groove 44. At the same time, the limiting rod 45 moves inside the limiting groove 46, which can support the tray 48. The tray 48 is then lifted upwards as a whole, and the inner C-pillar panel stored inside is lifted out as a whole. This makes it easy to retrieve the innermost inner C-pillar panel, improving the convenience of retrieval.
