Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive taillight manufacturing technology, and more specifically, to a clamping mechanism for a screw-attaching fixture for automotive lights. Background Technology
[0002] In modern automotive manufacturing, the assembly of automotive lights is a crucial step that directly affects the safety and aesthetics of a vehicle. Automotive lights typically consist of multiple components, such as the lamp housing, lamp cover, and reflector. These components require precise positioning and fixing during the assembly process, especially during screw fastening. If the stability and accuracy of each component cannot be guaranteed, it may lead to poor assembly of the lights, or even affect the functionality and lifespan of the lights.
[0003] Patent publication number CN219582690U discloses a clamping mechanism for a screw-locking fixture for automotive lights, including a clamping assembly, a sleeve, and a spring disposed on the bottom wall of the inner cavity of the sleeve. A connecting post is disposed on the upper end face of the spring, and a spiral rod extending to the outside of the sleeve is mounted on the upper end face of the connecting post. A limiting plate is disposed on the spiral rod. Although the device can realize the semi-automatic clamping mode to a near-fully automatic mode through the above structure, it still has shortcomings in practical applications. The clamping mechanism is mainly designed for specific types of automotive light frames, and the clamping method between its limiting plate and pressure strip may only be applicable to a certain size or shape of car light frame. When encountering car lights of different sizes or shapes, the existing clamping mechanism may not be able to effectively fix them, resulting in clamping failure or unstable clamping. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, this utility model provides a clamping mechanism for screw-locking fixtures for automotive lights, which can effectively clamp and fix automotive lights of different shapes and sizes.
[0005] A clamping mechanism for a screw-locking fixture for automotive lights includes a mounting plate, a platform, and a mounting plate. The mounting plate serves as the attachment carrier for this clamping mechanism and is vertically mounted on the ground or a supporting plane. The platform is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting plate, and a placement groove is provided in the center of the platform. The mounting plate is fixedly placed within the placement groove and serves as the placement carrier for the automotive light. The mechanism also includes: four electric slide rails arranged circumferentially on the four sides of the platform; a sliding block slidably mounted on each of the electric slide rails; a mounting block fixed to the side of each sliding rail closest to the platform; and a guide block mounted on the mounting block. On the side near the shelf, the mounting block and guide block have densely spaced grooves evenly distributed inside. Multiple limiting rods are installed within the guide block; one end of each limiting rod passes through the guide block and extends into the groove of the mounting block, while the other end faces the shelf and is used to clamp and limit the car light. A spring is positioned between the mounting block and the limiting rods. The electric slide rails on all four sides of the shelf synchronously drive the sliding block to slide towards the shelf, causing the car light placed on the shelf to be limited by the multiple limiting rods on the guide block. This allows the car light to be embedded within the limiting rods, adapting to various car light shapes, and clamping and limiting the car light under the action of the spring.
[0006] Furthermore, the guide block is detachably mounted on the mounting block, and the guide block and its multiple limiting rods can be easily replaced on the mounting block, so that the limiting rods on the guide block can be adapted to various sizes of automotive lights, and at the same time, it is convenient to maintain the limiting rods after long-term use and clamping.
[0007] Furthermore, a rubber pad is provided at the top of the limiting rod. The rubber pad is a spherical flexible pad. The rubber pad is used to elastically contact and clamp the car light, so as to prevent the surface of the car light from being scratched or damaged when it is clamped by the limiting rod, and to ensure that the car light can be safely limited and clamped on the shelf.
[0008] Furthermore, a positioning suction cup is provided at the very center of the shelf. The positioning suction cup is used to correctly position and attach the car light on the shelf, so that the limiting rods on the multiple guide blocks in the circumference can be synchronously and accurately limited on the car light, preventing the clamped car light from shifting.
[0009] Furthermore, the mounting frame is located below the shelf, and slots are provided at the four corners of the mounting frame. Four auxiliary rods are slidably installed in the slots of the mounting frame and extend upward through the four corners of the shelf. A second spring is provided between the mounting frame and the auxiliary rods, and the second spring has the tendency to spring the auxiliary rods upward. An electric suction cup is provided at the top of the auxiliary rods, and the electric suction cup is used to adsorb the car light placed on it from the bottom, further improving the stability of the car light being held on the shelf.
[0010] Furthermore, it also includes an electric slide rail two, which is fixed on the lower surface of the mounting plate. The mounting frame is slidably mounted on the electric slide rail two. The mounting frame is driven to rise and fall by the electric slide rail two, so that the spring two inside the mounting frame acts on the auxiliary rod, so that the electric suction cup on the auxiliary rod can adapt to the shape of the bottom of the car light, and at the same time support and attract the car light.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. This utility model, through the design of electric slide rail and sliding block, combined with multiple limiting rods, can adapt to car lights of different shapes and sizes. Under the action of spring, it can closely fit the surface of the car light, improve the versatility and flexibility of the clamping mechanism, and ensure the reliability of clamping.
[0012] 2. The positioning suction cup of this utility model ensures the accurate position of the car light on the shelf, avoiding insecure clamping or damage due to positional deviation. Together with the auxiliary rod and electric suction cup, the car light is adsorbed and supported from the bottom, further enhancing the stability of the car light on the shelf. Especially when performing operations such as screw fastening, it can ensure that the car light will not move. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[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] A clamping mechanism for a screw-locking fixture used in automotive lights, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the device includes a mounting plate 1, a storage platform 2, and a storage plate 3. The mounting plate 1 serves as the mounting carrier for this clamping mechanism. The mounting plate 1 is vertically mounted on the ground or a supporting plane. The storage platform 2 is fixedly mounted on the surface of the mounting plate 1. A placement groove is provided in the center of the storage platform 2, and the storage plate 3 is fixedly placed within the placement groove of the storage platform 2. The storage plate 3 serves as the carrier for the automotive lamp. The device also includes: four electric slide rails 4 arranged circumferentially on the four sides of the storage platform 2; sliding blocks 5 slidably mounted on each electric slide rail 4; mounting blocks 6 fixedly connected to the side of each sliding block closest to the storage platform 2; guide blocks 7 mounted on the side of the mounting block 6 closest to the storage platform 2. The mounting blocks 6 and guide blocks 7 have evenly spaced, densely packed grooves inside; multiple limiting rods 8 installed within the guide blocks 7. One end of the limiting rod 8 passes through the guide block 7 and extends into the groove of the mounting block 6. The other end of the limiting rod 8 faces the storage platform 2 and is used to clamp and limit the automotive lamp; spring... Spring 9, located between mounting block 6 and limiting rod 8, synchronously drives sliding block 5 to slide towards shelf 3 via electric slide rails on all four sides of shelf 2. This causes the car light placed on shelf 3 to be limited by multiple limiting rods 8 on guide block 7, embedding the car light into the multiple limiting rods 8. The limiting rods 8 adapt to the shape of various car lights and are clamped and limited by spring 9. Guide block 7 is detachably mounted on mounting block 6. Guide block 7 and its multiple limiting rods 8 can be easily replaced on mounting block 6, allowing the limiting rods 8 on guide block 7 to adapt to various sizes of car lights. It also facilitates maintenance of the limiting rods 8 after long-term use. A rubber pad 81 is provided at the top of the limiting rod 8. The rubber pad 81 is a spherical flexible pad used to elastically contact and clamp the car light, preventing scratches or damage to the surface of the car light when clamped by the limiting rod 8, and ensuring the car light is safely clamped and limited on shelf 2.
[0020] like Figure 2 As shown, a positioning suction cup 10 is provided at the center of the shelf 3. The positioning suction cup 10 is used to correctly position and adsorb the car light on the shelf 3, so that the limiting rods 8 on the multiple guide blocks 7 in the circumference can be synchronously and accurately limited on the car light, preventing the clamped car light from shifting.
[0021] like Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the mounting frame 12 is located below the shelf 2. The mounting frame 12 has slots at its four corners. Four auxiliary rods 13 are slidably mounted within these slots, extending upwards through the four corners of the shelf 3. Springs 14 are provided between the mounting frame 12 and the auxiliary rods 13, with the springs 14 tending to spring upwards. An electric suction cup 15 is located at the top of the auxiliary rod 13, used to suction the car light from the bottom, further improving the stability of the car light on the shelf 3. An electric slide rail 11 is also included, fixed to the lower surface of the mounting plate 1. The mounting frame 12 is slidably mounted on the electric slide rail 11. The electric slide rail 11 drives the mounting frame 12 to rise and fall, causing the springs 14 inside the mounting frame 12 to act on the auxiliary rods 13, allowing the electric suction cups 15 on the auxiliary rods 13 to adapt to the shape of the bottom of the car light, simultaneously supporting and suctioning the car light.
[0022] First, place the car light on the shelf 3. The positioning suction cup 10 at the center of shelf 3 will automatically hold the car light, ensuring accurate positioning. Then, the four electric slide rails 4 installed on the four sides of the shelf 2 will start simultaneously. Each slide rail 4 will move its respective sliding block 5 towards shelf 3, and the mounting block 6 on the sliding block 5 will move accordingly, pushing the guide block 7 and its multiple limiting rods 8 closer to the car light. Because there is a certain amount of space between the limiting rods 8 and the guide block 7, and because the end of the limiting rod 8 has a spherical rubber pad 81, the limiting rod 8 can automatically adjust its angle according to the specific shape of the car light, thus effectively clamping car lights of different shapes and sizes. When the limiting rod 8 contacts the car light, the spring 9 applies pressure to the car light. Appropriate clamping force ensures both secure clamping and avoids damage to the surface of the car light. Simultaneously, the electric slide rail 11 located below the platform 2 begins to operate, driving the mounting frame 12 to move upward along the slide rail. As the mounting frame 12 rises, its internal spring 14 is compressed, generating an upward thrust. This thrust is transmitted to the electric suction cup 15 at the top via the auxiliary rod 13. As the mounting frame 12 continues to rise, the electric suction cup 15 gradually approaches the bottom of the car light and eventually adheres to its surface. At this point, the electric suction cup 15 is energized and activates its suction function. This not only securely clamps the car light from the side via the limiting rod 8 but also provides additional support and fixation from below using the electric suction cup 15, improving the stability and safety of the car light throughout the entire operation.
[0023] The above embodiments are provided for those skilled in the art to implement or use the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications or changes to the above embodiments without departing from the inventive concept of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, but should be the maximum scope that conforms to the innovative features mentioned in the claims.
