Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, and in particular to a device for assembling automobile front grilles. Background Technology

[0002] The front grille is an important component located at the front of a car. It is made of plastic, metal, and composite materials. The equipment used for assembling the front grille refers to the specialized equipment used in the automobile manufacturing process to accurately and efficiently assemble the front grille into a complete grille assembly, which is then installed onto the car body. For example, welding equipment is used to connect and fix metal parts by welding, while adhesive equipment uses glue to bond and fix some parts. These assembling devices are an indispensable part of the assembly process of the front grille.

[0003] Existing assembly equipment utilizes vacuum principles to generate adsorption force during welding and bonding, adsorbing the air intake grille components onto a fixed adsorption platform and fixture for welding. However, for air intake grilles with uneven surfaces, adsorption and fixation can be weak. For example, if the grille surface has complex textures for heat dissipation and decoration, or openings, air can easily enter the adsorption area, disrupting the vacuum environment and reducing adsorption force. This can lead to air intake grille displacement and detachment during assembly. Existing technologies use highly elastic adsorption materials, such as silicone or rubber. These materials can automatically adjust their shape to fit the uneven surface of the air intake grille, better conforming to complex textures and the surfaces around openings, filling gaps and holes, forming a more effective seal, and improving adsorption. However, the elastic material is affected by stress and changes in welding temperature, causing changes in its dimensions. This gradual change in the size of the adsorption material affects the adhesion accuracy to the air intake grille and reduces the adsorption effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the above shortcomings, this utility model provides a device for assembling automotive front grilles, aiming to improve the problem in the prior art where elastic materials are affected by changes in stress and welding temperature, leading to changes in size and gradual changes in the size of the adsorption material, thereby affecting the fitting accuracy with the grille and reducing the adsorption effect.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This utility model provides an embodiment of a device for assembling a car front grille, comprising a body 1, a welding head 18 fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the body 1, a fixing plate 20 fixedly connected to the right side of the inner wall of the body 1, a plurality of slide rails 19 fixedly connected at equal intervals to the left side of the outer wall of the fixing plate 20, an L-shaped plate 7 slidably connected to the outer wall of the slide rails 19, a motor 2 5 fixedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the body 1, a fixing block 21 fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 2 5, connecting rods 22 rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the fixing block 21, the other end of the outer wall of the connecting rod 22 rotatably connected to the outer wall of the L-shaped plate 7, a threaded rod 9 threadedly connected to the middle of the L-shaped plate 7, and the outer wall of the threaded rod 9 adjacent to a... Each end is fixedly connected to a long plate 8. By rotating the threaded rods 9 on both sides, the long plates 8 on both sides can be adjusted to adjust the clamping width to accommodate air intake grilles of different sizes. A quick-drying mechanism 2 is installed on the top of the body 1. The quick-drying mechanism 2 is used to quickly cool and dry the grilles after welding and bonding. A screw 4 is threadedly connected to the right side of the outer wall of the body 1. A hook 3 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 4.

[0032] Specifically, by turning on motor 25, the fixed block 21 at the output end rotates. The fixed block 21 is connected to the L-shaped plate 7 via the connecting rod 22 on the outer wall. The L-shaped plate 7 is slidably connected to the slide rail 19, which allows the L-shaped plate 7 to move left and right along the slide rail 19. Then, by rotating the threaded rod 9 in the middle of the L-shaped plate 7, the elongated plates 8 on both sides are moved to adjust the clamping width. This allows the air intake grille component placed on the L-shaped plate 7 to be clamped or released, ensuring the component's position is stable during assembly and accommodating air intake grille components of different sizes. The motor 25 drives the fixed block 21 at the output end to rotate. The fixed block 21 is connected to the L-shaped plate 7 through the connecting rod 22 on the outer wall. The L-shaped plate 7 is slidably connected to the slide rail 19, which allows the L-shaped plate 7 to move left and right along the slide rail 19. Then, by rotating the threaded rod 9 in the middle of the L-shaped plate 7, the elongated plates 8 on both sides are moved to adjust the clamping width. This allows the air intake grille component placed on the L-shaped plate 7 to be clamped or released, ensuring that the component is stable in position during assembly and can accommodate air intake grille components of different sizes.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 The quick-drying mechanism 2 includes a motor 201, which is mounted on the top of the body 1.

A hollow box 13 is fixedly connected to the left side of the outer wall of the body 1. A drawer 14 is slidably connected inside the hollow box 13. The drawer 14 can facilitate the storage of tools for daily use and maintenance.

[0034] Specifically, by turning on the motor 201, the fixed rod 202 at the output end rotates. Since multiple gears 203 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer wall of the fixed rod 202, the gears 203 on the outer wall also rotate as the fixed rod 202 rotates. At the same time, multiple racks 204 are slidably connected at equal intervals on the top of the body 1, and the racks 204 mesh with the gears 203, thereby causing the racks 204 to slide on the top of the body 1. When the racks 204 slide, the fixed short plate 207 at the bottom also moves accordingly. The fan 206 at the bottom of the fixed short plate 207...

The light bulb 6 can play a role in providing auxiliary lighting in poor lighting environments.

[0037] Working principle: By turning on the motor 25, the fixed block 21 at the output end is rotated. The fixed block 21 is connected to the L-shaped plate 7 through the connecting rod 22 on the outer wall. The L-shaped plate 7 is slidably connected to the slide rail 19, which allows the L-shaped plate 7 to move left and right along the slide rail 19. Then, by rotating the threaded rod 9 in the middle of the L-shaped plate 7, the elongated plates 8 on both sides are moved to adjust the clamping width. This allows the air intake grille component placed on the L-shaped plate 7 to be clamped or released, ensuring that the component is stable in position during assembly. It can also accommodate air intake grille components of different sizes, thus avoiding the problem that the size of the elastic material will change due to the influence of stress and welding temperature changes, which would gradually change the size of the adsorption material and affect the fitting accuracy with the air intake grille, thus reducing the adsorption effect.

[0038] By turning on the motor 201, the fixed rod 202 at the output end is rotated. Since multiple gears 203 are fixedly connected at equal intervals on the outer wall of the fixed rod 202, the gears 203 on the outer wall also rotate as the fixed rod 202 rotates. At the same time, multiple racks 204 are slidably connected at equal intervals on the top of the body 1, and the racks 204 mesh with the gears 203, thereby driving the racks 204 to slide on the top of the body 1. When the racks 204 slide, the fixed short plate 207 at the bottom will also move. The fan 206 at the bottom of the fixed short plate 207 starts to work under the power of the battery 205, blowing airflow to quickly cool and dry different positions of the welded and bonded grille, thereby realizing the speed function.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
