Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of operating handle technology, and in particular to a convenient operating handle for automotive welding automation equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive welding fixtures are essential tools used in automobile manufacturing to assist in welding operations. They accurately determine the position of each part or component relative to the fixture, ensuring the weldment achieves the correct geometry and dimensions after welding. The fixture clamps the positioned components firmly to prevent displacement during welding, ensuring weld quality. Through reasonable design and clamping methods, it prevents deformation of the weldment due to heat or other factors during welding, guaranteeing the product's shape and dimensional accuracy. The automated, convenient handle in automotive welding fixtures includes a grip, a connecting part, and an operating part. The grip is typically ergonomically designed, conforming to the human hand, and usually features anti-slip textures and soft material covering. One end of the connecting part is connected to the clamping or positioning mechanism of the fixture, while the other end is for the operator to grip. The operating part may integrate various control buttons, knobs, and triggers; however, damage is inevitable during use, necessitating replacement.

[0003] Existing disassembly structures include clips and bolts. These structures utilize the elastic deformation of the clips to install and remove the handle. The clips are typically made of plastic or metal with a certain degree of elasticity. During installation, the clip on the handle inserts into the corresponding slot on the fixture body through elastic deformation. After the clip returns to its original shape, it locks the handle onto the fixture. During disassembly, only a certain amount of external force needs to be applied to make the clip elastically deform again, causing it to disengage from the slot, thus removing the handle. On the handles of some small automotive welding fixtures, plastic clips are used. When the clip is fully inserted into the slot, it will return to its shape due to its own elasticity, thereby locking the slot. However, this disassembly method is too cumbersome and may damage the handle due to excessive force during disassembly. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a convenient operating handle for automotive welding automation equipment, aiming to improve the problem that the disassembly method in the prior art is too cumbersome, which may lead to damage to the handle due to excessive force during disassembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts the following technical solution: a convenient operating handle for automotive welding automation equipment, comprising a housing, a top cylinder rotatably connected to the top of the housing, a cross-shaped fixing block fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing near the middle, a connecting post fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cross-shaped fixing block, a pin fixedly connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the connecting post near the edge, a bolt threadedly connected to the inner wall of the pin, a nut threadedly connected to the rear end of the outer wall of the bolt, a sliding post fixedly connected to the top of the connecting post, a spring slidably connected to the outer wall of the sliding post, a grooved sleeve rotatably connected to the outer wall of the pin, multiple long grooves formed on the outer wall of the grooved sleeve, and a retraction mechanism provided at the top of the housing for rotational extension and retraction.

[0006] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0007] The shrinking mechanism includes a threaded rod, the outer wall of which is slidably connected to the left and right ends of the top cylinder. The inner wall of the top cylinder has threaded holes. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the left side of the threaded rod. The inner wall of the threaded sleeve is threaded with an internal thread. A threaded sleeve is threadedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the threaded rod. Multiple stops are fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the casing.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The bottom of the top cylinder has a circular hole, and the inner wall of the circular hole is slidably connected to the upper end of the outer wall of the sliding column.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] The inner wall of the casing is slidably connected to a mounting post, and the top of the mounting post is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting post near the middle.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A handle is fixedly connected to the right end of the threaded sleeve 2, and a handle is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the threaded sleeve 1.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] An upper retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the casing near the upper end, and a lower retaining ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the casing near the lower end.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0017] The bottom of the casing is fixedly connected to a bottom cylinder, and the inner wall of the bottom cylinder is provided with two internal threads.

[0018] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0019] Multiple connecting rods are fixedly connected to the top outer side of the upper retaining ring, and the top of the connecting rods is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower retaining ring.

[0020] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0021] 1. In this utility model, the bolt is unscrewed from the nut, and the bolt and nut are removed. At this time, the sleeve is pressed upward, which drives the connecting post to move the pin upward. At this time, the sliding post slides upward in the circular hole, and the spring is compressed and deformed. Then, the sleeve is rotated, which drives the connecting post to rotate, and drives the pin to rotate. At this time, the spring returns to its original state, and the sliding post and pin are turned out from the grooved sleeve. At this time, the top can be replaced. Then, the new top is installed in the same way, and it can be used normally. This realizes the effect of disassembling and replacing the top of the handle when it is damaged.

[0022] 2. In this utility model, when the threaded sleeve is rotated inward, the internal thread on the threaded sleeve will rotate inward on the left side of the outer wall of the threaded rod until it reaches the middle. At the same time, the threaded sleeve is rotated along the right side of the outer wall of the threaded rod to the middle. This achieves the effect of retracting the handle when it is not in use, thus reducing the space occupied. Attached Figure Description
