[0002] The limiting block of the automotive body-in-white welding fixture is an indispensable and important component in the automotive manufacturing process. It plays a key role in positioning and limiting the workpiece during welding. There are various types of limiting blocks, and their structures and shapes vary depending on the application and function. Common types of limiting blocks include V-shaped limiting blocks, flat limiting blocks, and limiting blocks with square or curved inner walls. The limiting blocks are usually driven by cylinders or hydraulic cylinders. For example, when machining round tubes in automotive parts, a limiting block with a curved inner wall is needed, while when machining V-shaped steel, a V-shaped limiting block is needed to stably clamp the workpiece. However, when it is necessary to replace the limiting block, it is often necessary to remove it from the driving device by loosening the bolts, which is quite troublesome. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a limiting block for a welding fixture for automotive body-in-white. It integrates various limiting blocks with different inner wall shapes and can be rotated and switched. When the workpiece being welded changes, there is no need to disassemble or replace the limiting block.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a limiting block for a welding fixture of an automotive body-in-white, comprising a first connecting block and a bracket, wherein the bracket is bolted to the first connecting block, and further comprising:
[0005] The second connecting block is located below the first connecting block. A vertical groove is formed through the surface of the first connecting block. A rotating column is fixed to the inner side of the vertical groove by a bearing seat. The bottom end of the rotating column is bolted to the second connecting block. Both the first and second connecting blocks are triangular in design.
[0006] The first block, the second block, and the third block are respectively bolted to the three sides of the second connecting block. The top of the rotating column is bolted to a turntable, and the surface of the turntable is provided with a through hole.

[0021] 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.
[0022] Please see Figures 1-5 As shown, a limiting block for a welding fixture for an automotive body-in-white includes a first connecting block 1 and a bracket 2. The bracket 2 is bolted to the first connecting block 1 to support and fix the first connecting block 1. The bottom of the bracket 2 is fixed to other facilities or equipment. The limiting block also includes a positioning mechanism 11. A second connecting block 3 is provided below the first connecting block 1. A vertical groove 10 is formed through the surface of the first connecting block 1. A rotating column 7 is fixed to the inner side of the vertical groove 10 through a bearing seat. The bottom end of the rotating column 7 is bolted to the second connecting block 3. Both the first connecting block 1 and the second connecting block 3 are triangular in design. A first block 4, a second block 5, and a third block 6 are bolted to the three sides of the second connecting block 3, respectively. The inner wall of the first block 4 is square, the inner wall of the second block 5 is V-shaped, and the inner wall of the third block 6 is arc-shaped to accommodate workpieces with different surfaces. A turntable 8 is bolted to the top of the rotating column 7. A through hole 9 is formed through the surface of the turntable 8.
[0023] The positioning mechanism 11 includes a support rod 111, a threaded sleeve 112, and a screw 113. One end of the support rod 111 is bolted to the first connecting block 1, and the end of the support rod 111 away from the first connecting block 1 is bolted to the threaded sleeve 112. The screw 113 is threaded to the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 112. A handwheel 114 is bolted to the top of the screw 113 to provide a force point on the surface of the screw 113 for easy rotation. A circular plate 115 is fixed to the bottom of the screw 113 by a bearing, and the surface of the circular plate 115 penetrates... The circular plate 115 is provided with three sets of movable columns 116 arranged in a circular array around the center of the circular plate 115. The circular plate 115 has three through holes 9 arranged in a circular array around the center of the turntable 8. The three sides of the threaded sleeve 112 are also bolted with sliding sleeves 117, and the movable columns 116 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding sleeves 117. This allows the circular plate 115 to slide up and down along the inner wall of the sliding sleeves 117 during the rising or falling process, thereby preventing the circular plate 115 from rotating with the screw 113.
[0024] During use, bracket 2 is bolted to the output shaft of the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder. When it is necessary to switch between different first blocks 4, second blocks 5, and third blocks 6, simply rotate the second connecting block 3. This will cause the first blocks 4, second blocks 5, and third blocks 6 to change their orientation. Stop rotating the second connecting block 3 when the required support block is on the side away from bracket 2. For example, when welding round pipes, the third block 6 with an arc-shaped inner wall needs to be on the side away from bracket 2. When welding V-shaped steel, the second block 5 with a V-shaped inner wall is needed. When welding square pipes, the third block 6 with a square inner wall is needed. After the first block 4 is adjusted, the screw 113 is rotated by turning the handwheel 114. Under the action of the thread on the inner wall of the threaded sleeve 112, the screw 113 drives the circular plate 115 and the movable column 116 to descend, allowing the movable column 116 to enter the inner wall of the through hole 9, positioning the turntable 8 and the rotating column 7, and positioning the orientation of different surfaces of the second connecting block 3, preventing the orientation of different support blocks from changing due to the rotation of the second connecting block 3 during the welding process. The clamp drives the limiting block assembly to move, allowing the first block 4, the second block 5 and the third block 6 to approach the clamped workpiece.
