[0021] In order to make the technical personnel in the art can better understand the utility model, the following will be combined with the drawings and examples of the utility model technical scheme further explanation.
[0022] As Figures 1-5 Indicated, a safety air bag controller housing forming tool, including base 1 and control panel, base 1 upper end is equipped with processing table 11, processing table 11 and base 1 between being equipped with clamping mechanism;
[0023] Clamping mechanism includes transmission assembly, fixed clamp and stopper, transmission assembly is embedded in the middle part of base 1 and with the center of processing table 11 corresponding, the number of fixed clamp is four and is distributed vertically staggered around the center of transmission assembly two by two, the number of stopper and the number and position of fixed clamp one-to-one corresponding;
[0024] Transmission assembly includes motor 2 and gear set, motor 2 is embedded in base 1, gear set is concentrically connected with the output shaft of motor 2, gear set includes hollow wheel body 3 and several telescopic teeth, hollow wheel body 3 middle part is opened with inner cavity 31, several telescopic teeth are evenly arranged in inner cavity 31 and extend out of inner cavity 31, telescopic teeth include elastic telescopic rod 32 and meshing teeth 33, elastic telescopic rod 32 is arranged in inner cavity 31 and in initial state output shaft keeps driving to extend, meshing teeth 33 are slidingly connected with wheel body and are connected with the output shaft of elastic telescopic rod 32.
[0025] Fixed clamp and corresponding side fixed piece slidingly connected and with gear set engagement matching, processing table 11 is opened with movable slot 12, fixed clamp extends out of movable slot 12, stopper is fixedly connected with base 1 and is connected with corresponding fixed clamp matching.
[0026] When the controller housing is assembled and formed, the external mechanical arm clamps the controller component A, such as the bottom plate, to the machining table 11, and then the control panel starts the clamping mechanism to fix the component A. At this time, the motor 2 in the transmission assembly starts to drive the gear set to rotate, which simultaneously drives the four fixed clamps. The four fixed clamps move towards the component A until the fixed clamps clamp the component A stably. After completion, the position limiter starts to limit the fixed clamps to keep their positions relatively stable. The telescopic teeth in the gear set will shrink due to the presence of the elastic telescopic rod 32 when the fixed clamps are blocked by the gear set, i.e., when the fixed clamps abut against the controller housing. The elastic telescopic rod 32 will shrink due to the blocking of the meshing teeth 33. The contact surfaces of the meshing teeth 33 and the fixed clamps are rounded to ensure that the components can move under this condition without being stuck. At this time, the meshing teeth 33 rotate to bypass the fixed clamps. The position of the fixed clamps is fixed, but it does not affect the continuous rotation of the gear set. This can better meet the clamping needs of the irregular structure of the airbag controller. Through a single transmission assembly, multiple clamping structures can be driven simultaneously, and the clamping contact point needs of different positions can be adapted.
[0027] The fixed clamp includes a rack 4 and a clamping plate 41. The rack 4 is in sliding connection with the adjacent fixed part. The clamping plate 41 is fixedly arranged at the end of the rack 4 and located at the rear end of the rack 4 in the clamping forward direction. The clamping plate 41 is in T-shaped structure and abuts against the upper end surface of the machining table 11. The rack 4 cooperates with the gear set to achieve meshing transmission under normal driving. The clamping plate 41 is used to cooperate with the clamping and fixing of the housing.
[0028] The clamping end of the clamping plate 41 is provided with a non-slip pad.
[0029] The position limiter includes a liquid storage cylinder 42, a piston 43, a connecting rod 44, and a hose. The liquid storage cylinder 42 is fixedly connected with the base 1 through a support. The piston 43 is slidingly and sealingly arranged in the liquid storage cylinder 42. The connecting rod 44 is connected with the piston 43 and extends out of the liquid storage cylinder 42 to be connected with one end of the rack 4 relative to the clamping plate 41. The other end of the liquid storage cylinder 42 is connected with the hose. The hose is in communication with an external liquid storage container and is provided with an electric control valve.
[0030] In order to ensure the stable position of the shell during processing, avoid the movement of the fixing clamp itself, when the rack 4 of the fixing clamp is driven to displace along with the gear set, the electric control valve of the soft tube in the position limiter is kept open, at this time, the pushing action of the connecting rod 44 to the piston 43 will make the liquid in the liquid storage cylinder 42 be squeezed into the external liquid storage container or the liquid in the external liquid storage container be sucked into the liquid storage cylinder 42, when the position stability of the fixing clamp is needed, only the electric control valve at the soft tube is closed, the liquid path is cut off, therefore the position of the fixing clamp can be kept relatively stable due to the almost incompressibility of the liquid, meanwhile, due to the relative installation position and clamping direction of the four fixing clamps, the soft tubes of the position limiters of the four fixing clamps can be communicated with each other, finally the soft tube is communicated with the external liquid storage container, so only one electric control valve can control the on-off of the liquid path of the four position limiters, the equipment is more simplified.
[0031] The above embodiments only exemplarily illustrate the principle and effect of the present application, and are not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought of the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
