Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automotive assembly technology, and in particular to fender fittings. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the automotive industry has shown rapid development, and the automotive development cycle has been significantly shortened. In the key link of automobile production—the welding and assembly line process—the rear door is usually assembled and adjusted first, using the side panel as a reference. Then, the front door is assembled and adjusted using the previously assembled and adjusted rear door as a reference, and the fender is assembled and adjusted using the front door as a reference.

[0003] However, existing fender fittings have a significant flaw: they lack the function of adjusting the fender's X-axis (i.e., the vehicle's longitudinal direction) position, making the X-axis position adjustment process on the vehicle body cumbersome and repetitive. This directly results in the gap between the fender and the front door failing to meet relevant standards, thus adversely affecting the rapid delivery of vehicles.

[0004] Currently, on the production floor, to ensure that the X-direction clearance between the fender and the front door meets the requirements, the main method used is to manually loosen the fender and manually push and pull it for adjustment. However, this manual adjustment method has significant drawbacks, not only seriously interfering with the production line cycle and reducing production efficiency, but also increasing labor costs.

[0005] In summary, the urgent technical problems to be solved are overcoming the difficulty in achieving the required gap between the fender and the front door due to the inability of the fender fixture to adjust the X-direction position of the fender, and eliminating the adverse effects of manual adjustment on the production line cycle time, thereby improving automobile production efficiency and product quality. Utility Model Content

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a fender fixture to address the problems of the current fender fixture's inability to adjust the fender's X-direction position, which makes it difficult to meet the standard for the gap between the fender and the front door, as well as the impact of manual adjustment on the production line rhythm.

[0007] A fender fixture includes a fixed block, a sliding block, and a limiting member. The sliding block is movably connected to the fixed block. The limiting member is connected to the sliding block and moves synchronously with the sliding block. The limiting member has a protruding limiting protrusion for abutting against the fender to drive the fender to move.

[0008] In one embodiment, the fender fixture further includes an elastic element that acts on the fixed block and the sliding block, and the elastic element is used to move the sliding block relative to the fixed block.

[0009] In one embodiment, the fender fixture further includes a guide post connected to the fixed block, and the sliding block is slidably connected to the guide post along the axial direction of the guide post.

[0010] In one embodiment, the elastic element is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post.

[0011] In one embodiment, the number of guide posts is multiple, and at least one of the guide posts is provided with the elastic element on its outer periphery.

[0012] In one embodiment, there are multiple guide posts, all of which are arranged in parallel and the sliding block is slidably connected to each guide post.

[0013] In one embodiment, the fixing block includes a first fixing part and a second fixing part spaced apart axially on the guide post, with the two ends of the guide post connected to the first fixing part and the second fixing part respectively, and the sliding block slidably connected to the portion of the guide post that is mounted between the first fixing part and the second fixing part.

[0014] In one embodiment, the fender fixture further includes a filler block movably disposed on the movement path of the limiting member that drives the fender to move, so as to limit the movement stroke of the limiting member that drives the fender.

[0015] In one embodiment, the elastic element has a tendency to move the sliding block until the fender abuts against the filler block.

[0016] In one embodiment, the fender fixture further includes a body, and the fixing block is movably connected to the body in a direction that is set at an angle to the sliding direction of the sliding block, so as to move closer to and away from the fender.

[0017] The fender fixture provided in the above solution, by setting a sliding block that can move in the X direction and setting a limiting member connected to the sliding block and including a limiting protrusion, allows the limiting member connected to the sliding block to drive the fender to move synchronously when the sliding block moves relative to the fixed block. This achieves the effect of driving the fender to move in the X direction through the fender fixture, thereby solving the problem that the X-direction position of the fender cannot be adjusted during the current fender installation. At the same time, it can also limit the movement distance of the fender in the X direction by limiting the movement distance of the sliding block, thereby controlling the size of the gap between the fender and the front door. Compared with manually adjusting the movement of the fender in the X direction, it is more convenient, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces labor costs. Attached Figure Description

[0023] To make the above-mentioned objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the specific embodiments of this application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of this application. However, this application can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of this application. Therefore, this application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0024] In the description of this application, it should be understood that if terms such as "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "upper", "lower", "front", "rear", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", "outer", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential" appear, these terms indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

[0025] Furthermore, where the terms "first" and "second" appear, these terms are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Thus, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of that feature. In the description of this application, where the term "multiple" appears, "multiple" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0027] In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the use of descriptions such as "above" or "below" the second feature indicates that the first and second features are in direct contact or indirect contact via an intermediate medium. Furthermore, "above," "on top of," and "over" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. Similarly, "below," "below," and "under" the second feature can mean that the first feature is directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0028] It should be noted that if an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another element, it can be directly on the other element or there may be an intervening element. If an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intervening element. If so, the terms "vertical," "horizontal," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," and similar expressions used in this application are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only possible implementation.

[0029] See Figure 1 , Figure 1This illustration shows a schematic diagram of the fender fixture 100 according to an embodiment of this application. The fender fixture 100 provided in this embodiment is applied in the field of automobile assembly and is used to install fenders 200. Fenders 200 are outer body panels that cover the wheels, and are divided into front fenders 200 and rear fenders 200. The front fenders 200 are located on both sides of the vehicle hood, behind the front bumper, above the front tires, and in front of the front doors; the rear fenders 200 are located above the rear wheels and behind the rear doors. The fenders 200 mentioned in this application refer to the front fenders 200. Typically, a gap is required between the fenders 200 and the front doors. When the vehicle is in motion, the body and suspension system will experience slight displacement due to vibration and deformation. This gap prevents the fenders 200 from making hard contact with the front doors, which could lead to wear or abnormal noise. The fender fixture 100 provided in this application can be used to install the fender 200 in the corresponding position and can achieve a partial gap between the fender 200 and the front door.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, the fender fixture 100 includes a fixing block 110, a sliding block 120 and a limiting member 130. The fender fixture 100 also includes a main body 160 and other structures connected to the main body 160 for clamping and moving the fender 200 to assemble the fender 200.

[0031] The sliding block 120 is movably connected to the fixed block 110. In this embodiment, the movement direction of the sliding block 120 is taken as the X direction, which corresponds to the front-rear direction of the vehicle. Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the sliding block 120 has a limited movement distance. In this embodiment, the sliding block 120 can move between the initial position and the assembly position set sequentially in the X direction. When the sliding block 120 is in the assembly position, the position of the fender 200 is the position to be installed. At this time, the fender 200 can be fixed by fasteners or the like.

[0032] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the limiting member 130 is connected to the sliding block 120 and moves synchronously with the sliding block 120, so that when the sliding block 120 moves, the limiting member 130 can move synchronously. Figure 3As shown, the limiting member 130 has a limiting protrusion 131, which abuts against the fender 200 to drive the fender 200 to move. This allows the limiting member 130 connected to the sliding block 120 to drive the fender 200 to move synchronously when the sliding block 120 moves relative to the fixed block 110. This achieves the effect of driving the fender 200 to move in the X direction through the fender fixture 100, thus solving the problem that the fender 200 cannot be adjusted in the X direction during installation. At the same time, the movement distance of the fender 200 in the X direction can be limited by limiting the movement distance of the sliding block 120, thereby controlling the gap between the fender 200 and the front door. This is more convenient than manually adjusting the movement of the fender 200 in the X direction, improving assembly efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0033] For example, in this embodiment, the limiting protrusion 131 is a limiting pin. Correspondingly, the fender 200 is provided with a hole corresponding to the limiting protrusion 131. The limiting protrusion 131 can be inserted into the hole at least partially to abut against the fender 200 and drive the fender 200 to move.

[0034] In some embodiments, the fixing block 110 is movably connected to the body 160 in a direction that forms an angle with the sliding direction of the sliding block 120, so as to move closer to and further away from the fender 200. In this embodiment, the fixing block 110 can move vertically in a direction perpendicular to the sliding direction of the sliding block 120, while the sliding block 120 and the limiting member 130 connected to the fixing block 110 can move synchronously with the fixing block 110 in a direction that forms an angle with the sliding direction of the sliding block 120, so that the limiting protrusion 131 can move closer to and further away from the fender 200, thereby enabling the limiting protrusion 131 to abut against the fender 200 and drive the fender 200 to move when it approaches the fender 200. In other embodiments, the fixing block 110 can also move in a direction that forms an acute or obtuse angle with the sliding direction of the sliding block 120, without limitation. In other embodiments, the position of the fixed block 110 may remain unchanged, but the limiting member 130 may move relative to the fender 200 in a direction that is set at an angle to the sliding direction of the sliding block 120, so as to approach and move away from the fender 200, thereby inserting the limiting protrusion 131 into the corresponding position of the fender 200, so that the limiting protrusion 131 abuts against the fender 200 and drives the fender 200 to move.

[0035] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the fender fixture 100 further includes an elastic element 140, which acts on the fixed block 110 and the sliding block 120, and the elastic element 140 is used to drive the sliding block 120 to move relative to the fixed block 110, so that the fixed block 110 and the limiting member 130 connected to the fixed block 110 can drive the fender 200 to move relative to the fixed block 110.

[0036] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the fender fixture 100 further includes a guide post 150 connected to the fixed block 110, and a sliding block 120 slidably connected to the guide post 150 along the axial direction of the guide post 150 for guiding the sliding of the sliding block 120.

[0037] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic element 140 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post 150. In this embodiment, the elastic element 140 is illustrated as a spring. In the accompanying drawings of this specification, the elastic element 140 is shown uncompressed, thus partially protruding from the fixing block 110. However, in actual assembly, both ends of the elastic element 140 can respectively abut against the fixing block 110 and the sliding block 120. In other embodiments, the elastic element 140 may also be an elastic pressure plate connected to the fixing block 110 or the sliding block 120, etc., and is not limited thereto.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, there are multiple guide posts 150, and at least one guide post 150 has an elastic element 140 on its outer periphery. In this embodiment, there are three guide posts 150, and the outer periphery of any two non-adjacent guide posts 150 is provided with an elastic element 140. Each elastic element 140 acts on the same sliding block 120 to make the force on the sliding block 120 more even. In other embodiments, the elastic element 140 can also be provided on the outer periphery of the guide post 150 in the middle position. In other embodiments, the number of guide posts 150 can also be other numbers. The outer periphery of each guide post 150 can be provided with an elastic element 140, or the outer periphery of corresponding guide posts 150 can be provided with an elastic element 140 at fixed intervals, etc., without limitation.

[0039] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in one embodiment, there are multiple guide posts 150, and the number of guide posts 150 is not limited. All guide posts 150 are arranged in parallel, and the sliding block 120 is slidably connected to each guide post 150 to prevent the sliding block 120 from rotating or tilting relative to the guide post 150.

[0040] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the fixing block 110 includes a first fixing portion 111 and a second fixing portion 112 spaced apart axially on the guide post 150. The two ends of the guide post 150 are respectively connected to the first fixing portion 111 and the second fixing portion 112. A sliding block 120 is slidably connected to the portion of the guide post 150 that is positioned between the first fixing portion 111 and the second fixing portion 112. The first fixing portion 111 and the second fixing portion 112 themselves can limit the sliding stroke of the sliding block 120, thereby limiting the travel of the fender 200 in the X direction. In this embodiment, the fixing block 110 has a U-shaped structure; in other embodiments, the fixing block 110 may have other structures.

[0041] In one embodiment, the fender fixture 100 further includes a filler block movably disposed on the movement path of the limiting member 130 that drives the fender 200 to move. The filler block limits the movement of the fender 200 driven by the limiting member 130, thereby restricting the movement of the fender 200 and stabilizing the relative position between the fender 200 and the front door. In actual operation, the filler block can be sandwiched between the fender 200 and the front door to stabilize the gap between them. For example, during assembly, the filler block is first placed close to the front door, and then the fender 200 is moved in the X direction. This limits the movement of the fender 200, stabilizing the gap between the fender 200 and the front door. After the position of the fender 200 is fixed, the filler block can be removed.

[0042] In one embodiment, the elastic member 140 has the tendency to move the sliding block 120 until the fender 200 abuts against the filler block, so that the elastic member 140 can automatically push the fender 200 toward the front door in the X direction and stop moving when the fender 200 abuts against the filler block. At this time, fixing the fender 200 can complete the assembly of the fender 200.

[0043] In the above-mentioned scheme, the fender 200 is pre-assembled first, and the filler block is placed close to the front door. Then, the fixing block 110 moves relative to the main body 160 to approach the fender 200. During the movement, the limiting protrusion 131 gradually approaches the fender 200 and abuts against the fender 200 in the X direction. At this time, the elastic element 140 drives the fender 200 to move to abut against the filler block. Then, the fender 200 is fixed by fasteners, thereby completing the assembly of the fender 200.

[0044] Understandably, as the fixing block 110 moves relative to the main body 160 to approach the fender 200, the limiting protrusion 131 gradually approaches the fender 200 and abuts against the fender 200 in the X direction. Preferably, the fender 200 or the limiting protrusion 131 is provided with an inclined guide surface so that the limiting protrusion 131 can compress the elastic member 140 during insertion into the fender 200, thereby causing the elastic member 140 to tend to move the fender 200 toward the direction of the front door. In other embodiments, the position of the sliding block 120 can also be manually controlled to compress the elastic member 140 during the movement of the fixing block 110 relative to the main body 160 to approach the fender 200.

[0045] The fender fixture 100 provided in the above solution, by setting a sliding block 120 that can move in the X direction, and setting a limiting member 130 connected to the sliding block 120 and including a limiting protrusion 131, allows the limiting member 130 connected to the sliding block 120 to drive the fender 200 to move synchronously when the sliding block 120 moves relative to the fixed block 110. This achieves the effect of driving the fender 200 to move in the X direction through the fender fixture 100, thereby solving the problem that the X position of the fender 200 cannot be adjusted during the installation of the fender 200. At the same time, it can also limit the movement distance of the fender 200 in the X direction by limiting the movement distance of the sliding block 120, thereby controlling the size of the gap between the fender 200 and the front door. Compared with manually adjusting the movement of the fender 200 in the X direction, it is more convenient, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces labor costs.

[0046] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0047] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
