[0040] 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.
[0041] Please see Figures 1 to 4A tooling fixture for assembling an automotive voltage regulator includes a mounting frame 1, a clamping frame 2, a drive assembly, an upper clamping plate 3, an adjustment assembly, a lower clamping plate 4, and a clamping assembly. The bottom end of the mounting frame 1 is fixedly connected to a mounting plate 18, which has multiple mounting holes. By tightening mounting screws into these holes, the mounting plate 18 can be stably installed on an assembly platform, facilitating the stable installation of the mounting frame 1. Two clamping frames 2 are provided, slidably positioned facing each other on one side of the mounting frame 1. The moving component is set between the two clamping frames 2. The upper clamping plate 3 is movably set on one side of each clamping frame 2. The adjusting component is set on each upper clamping plate 3. The lower clamping plate 4 is located on one side of each clamping frame 2. Two connecting rods 17 are fixedly connected to one side of the clamping frame 2. Both connecting rods 17 are fixedly connected to the adjacent lower clamping plate 4, which can stably connect the lower clamping plate 4 on one side of the clamping frame 2. Multiple clamping components are set, and multiple clamping components are respectively set on the two upper clamping plates 3 and the two lower clamping plates 4.
[0042] refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 2 The drive assembly includes a double-headed electric cylinder 10, a drive frame 11, and a drive block 12. The double-headed electric cylinder 10 is mounted on the mounting frame 1. There are two drive frames 11, which are fixedly connected between the output end of the double-headed electric cylinder 10 and the two clamping frames 2. The drive block 12 is fixedly connected to one side of each drive frame 11. The mounting frame 1 is provided with a drive groove for the drive block 12 to slide. When the drive block 12 moves in the drive groove, the drive frame 11 can move stably on the mounting frame 1.
[0043] Starting the double-headed electric cylinder 10 can cause the double-headed electric cylinder 10 to drive the two clamping frames 2 to move towards each other, so that the two drive frames 11 can drive the two clamping frames 2 to move towards each other, thereby adjusting the clamping position of the upper clamping plate 3 and the lower clamping plate 4 according to the shape and specifications of the automotive voltage regulator.
[0044] refer to Figure 4 The adjustment assembly includes a connecting block 13, an adjusting screw 14, an adjusting plate 15, and an adjusting rod 16. The connecting block 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the adjacent clamping frame 2. The adjusting screw 14 is rotatably connected to the connecting block 13. The adjusting plate 15 is threadedly connected to the adjusting screw 14. There are two adjusting rods 16, which are fixedly connected between the adjusting plate 15 and the upper clamping plate 3. The adjusting rods 16 are slidably connected to the clamping frame 2. Adjusting balls 19 are fixedly connected to both adjusting screws 14 to facilitate manual turning of the adjusting screws 14.
[0045] When the car voltage regulator is placed between the two clamping brackets 2, the adjusting ball 19 drives the adjusting screw 14 to rotate, which causes the adjusting plate 15 to move the two adjacent adjusting rods 16, so as to move the upper clamping plate 3. Thus, the clamping position of the upper clamping plate 3 can be adjusted according to the shape and specifications of the car voltage regulator. Through the misalignment of the upper clamping plate 3 and the lower clamping plate 4, an irregular clamping space can be formed to clamp and fix car voltage regulators of different shapes.
[0046] refer to Figure 3 The clamping assembly includes a clamping cylinder 5, a clamping rod 6, a compression spring 7, a sliding rod 8, and a clamping pad 9. The clamping cylinder 5 is fixedly connected to the upper clamping plate 3. The clamping rod 6 is slidably connected between the clamping cylinder 5 and the upper clamping plate 3. The compression spring 7 is fixedly connected between the clamping rod 6 and the inner wall of the clamping cylinder 5. The sliding block is connected through the clamping rod 6. The clamping cylinder 5 is provided with a sliding groove for the sliding rod 8 to slide. The clamping pad 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the clamping rod 6.
[0047] When the two upper clamping plates 3 approach each other and the two lower clamping plates 4 approach each other, multiple clamping pads 9 will contact different parts of the vehicle voltage regulator. After the multiple clamping pads 9 gradually contact the vehicle voltage regulator, multiple clamping rods 6 will move in multiple clamping cylinders 5 according to the shape of the vehicle voltage regulator. The clamping rods 6 will squeeze the compression spring 7, causing the compression spring 7 to contract (for example, the clamping rod 6 that contacts the protruding part of the vehicle voltage regulator will gradually move into the corresponding clamping cylinder 5, and the multiple clamping rods 6 will move a different distance depending on the contact part). Thus, the staggered cooperation of multiple clamping rods 6 and multiple clamping pads 9 will stably clamp vehicle voltage regulators of different shapes.
[0048] In summary, the automotive voltage regulator to be processed is first placed between two clamping frames 2. Based on the shape and specifications of the automotive voltage regulator, two adjusting screws 14 are rotated on two connecting blocks 13, causing two adjusting plates 15 to move adjacent adjusting rods 16, facilitating the movement of the two upper clamping plates 3. Once the two upper clamping plates 3 have moved to appropriate positions, the double-headed electric cylinder 10 is activated, causing it to drive two drive frames 11 to move towards each other. This allows the two clamping frames 2 to move the two upper clamping plates 3 and the two lower clamping plates 4. As the two upper clamping plates 3 and the two lower clamping plates 4 approach each other, multiple clamping pads 9 will contact different positions of the automotive voltage regulator. This allows for stable clamping of automotive voltage regulators of different shapes and specifications through the two upper clamping plates 3, the two lower clamping plates 4, multiple clamping cylinders 5, multiple clamping rods 6, and multiple clamping pads 9, improving the stability of the automotive voltage regulator assembly and processing.
