Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of clamping technology, and in particular to a shock absorber clamp. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive shock absorbers absorb and mitigate vibrations generated during driving, improving ride comfort and vehicle stability. To ensure the quality and reliability of shock absorbers, they need to be tested during the manufacturing process, during which clamps are used to hold and secure them.

[0003] Regarding the existing technology, the inventor believes that there are the following drawbacks: the existing fixtures can only be used with one type of shock absorber. Making multiple fixtures to match different types of shock absorbers leads to the need to frequently change fixtures when testing different types of shock absorbers, which is cumbersome and reduces work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problem of frequent fixture changes required when testing different models of shock absorbers, which leads to cumbersome operation procedures and reduced work efficiency, this application provides a shock absorber fixture.

[0005] The shock absorber clamp provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A shock absorber clamp includes a base, with mounting blocks fixed on both sides of the base. A positioning block is integrally formed on each mounting block, and the positioning block is hollow inside. A clamping assembly is disposed between the two positioning blocks. The clamping assembly includes a first cone rotatably connected to one of the positioning blocks, a first screw fixed to the first cone, a first nut rotatably connected to the first screw, a second cone rotatably connected to the other positioning block, a second screw fixed to the second cone, and a second nut rotatably connected to the second screw. The first and second cones are symmetrically arranged, and the taper of both the first and second cones is set at 40-75 degrees. Limiting components are provided on the first and second screws.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the shock absorber is placed between the first and second cones during use. By tightening the first and second screws, the first and second cones clamp the shock absorber mounting hole together. Then, the first and second nuts are tightened to fix the position of the shock absorber. After that, the performance of the shock absorber is tested. The setting of the limiting component can tighten the connection between the first screw and the first nut, and between the second screw and the second nut, providing high precision and stability. The taper of the first and second cones is set at 40-75 degrees, which allows the clamp to effectively fix shock absorbers of different hole diameters. It can provide sufficient clamping force and avoid interference problems, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test and improving work efficiency.

[0008] Optionally, the limiting component includes a connecting block fixed on the side wall of the positioning block and an mounting tube fixed on the side wall of the connecting block. The first screw and the second screw are both rotatably connected inside the mounting tube, and the first nut and the second nut can abut against the end face of the mounting tube.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when in use, the first nut and the second nut are screwed on to abut against the end face of the mounting tube, thereby limiting the first screw and the second screw and clamping the shock absorber.

[0010] Optionally, anti-slip pads are provided on the sidewalls of both the first cone and the second cone.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip pad can increase the friction between the first cone and the shock absorber, and between the second cone and the shock absorber, preventing the shock absorber from sliding due to vibration during the test and ensuring the stability of the clamp.

[0012] Optionally, both the first screw and the second screw are provided with handles, and both the first screw and the second screw are also provided with guide components.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the handle can be easily turned on the first screw and the second screw, and the guide component can make the first screw and the second screw move in a direction parallel to the base when rotating, thus maintaining the stability of the first screw and the second screw when moving in a straight line.

[0014] Optionally, the guide assembly includes a first rod fixed to one side of the base, a first block fixed to one end of the first rod away from the base, a second rod fixed to the other side of the base, and a second block fixed to one end of the second rod away from the base. The first block and the second block have the same structure. The first block and the positioning block are arranged parallel to each other. Guide holes are provided on both the first block and the second block. The first screw and the second screw rotate within the guide holes. A support frame is installed on the positioning block, and a fixing component for fixing the shock absorber is provided on the support frame.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, during use, both the first screw and the second screw rotate within the guide hole, and the first screw and the second screw maintain linear motion within the guide hole, ensuring that the clamping points of the first cone and the second cone are always kept on the same horizontal plane, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of clamping. The setting of the fixing component can clamp the outer wall of the shock absorber, thereby fixing the position of the shock absorber and ensuring the stability of the shock absorber mounting hole clamping.

[0016] Optionally, the fixing assembly includes a first clamping plate fixed to one side of the support frame and a second clamping plate fixed to the other side of the support frame, wherein the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate are fixedly connected by bolts.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the side wall of the shock absorber abuts against the first clamping plate during use, and then the second clamping plate is fixed to the first clamping plate by bolts, so that the middle part of the shock absorber is clamped and fixed.

[0018] Optionally, anti-slip strips are provided on the inner walls of both the first clamping plate and the second clamping plate.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the anti-slip strip can increase the friction between the first clamping plate and the shock absorber, and between the second clamping plate and the shock absorber, thereby improving the stability of clamping.

[0020] Optionally, a baffle is provided at one end of the handle near the mounting block.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, the baffle plate can prevent the first nut and the second nut from slipping and falling off, provide a limiting function for the first nut and the second nut, reduce operational errors, and improve operational safety.

[0022] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0023] 1. When using, place the shock absorber between the first and second cones. Tighten the first and second screws to clamp the shock absorber mounting hole with the first and second cones. Then, tighten the first and second nuts to fix the shock absorber in place. After that, test the shock absorber's performance. The limiting components can secure the connection between the first screw and the first nut, and between the second screw and the second nut, providing high precision and stability. The taper of the first and second cones is set at 40-75 degrees, which allows the clamp to effectively fix shock absorbers with different hole diameters. It can provide sufficient clamping force and avoid interference problems, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the test and improving work efficiency.

[0024] 2. In use, by screwing the first nut and the second nut onto the end face of the mounting tube, the first screw and the second screw are limited, thereby clamping the shock absorber;

[0025] 3. The anti-slip pads can increase the friction between the first cone and the shock absorber, and between the second cone and the shock absorber, preventing the shock absorber from sliding due to vibration during the test and ensuring the stability of the clamp. Attached Figure Description

[0032] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0033] This application discloses a shock absorber clamp.

[0034] Reference Figure 1 The shock absorber clamping device includes a base 1, with mounting blocks 2 fixed on both sides of the base 1. Two mounting blocks 2 are fixedly connected to the base 1 by bolts. The mounting blocks 2 are elongated and have a positioning block 3 integrally formed on them. The positioning block 3 is square and has a hollow inner cavity.

[0035] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 A clamping assembly 4 is provided between the two positioning blocks 3. The clamping assembly 4 includes a first cone head 5, a first screw 6, a first nut 7, a second cone head 8, a second screw 9, and a second nut 10. The first cone head 5 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of one of the positioning blocks 3. The first screw 6 is fixedly connected to the first cone head 5. The first nut 7 is rotatably connected to the first screw 6. The second cone head 8 is rotatably connected to the inner cavity of the other positioning block 3. The second screw 9 is fixedly connected to the second cone head 8. The second nut 10 is rotatably connected to the second screw 9. The first cone head 5 and the second cone head 8 are symmetrically arranged. In order to prevent the shock absorber from sliding due to vibration during the test, the embodiment of this application provides anti-slip pads 14 on the side walls of both the first cone head 5 and the second cone head 8 to increase the friction between the first cone head 5 and the shock absorber, and between the second cone head 8 and the shock absorber, so as to ensure the stability of the clamping.

[0036] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3If the taper of the first cone 5 and the second cone 8 is set too small, the distance between the two cones will be too close when clamping the shock absorber. During the clamping process, they will collide and squeeze each other, causing interference. This will result in uneven distribution of clamping force and failure to stably fix the shock absorber. If the taper of the first cone 5 and the second cone 8 is set too large, the slope of the cone when it contacts the shock absorber will be too large. This will result in insufficient radial clamping force of the clamp on the shock absorber and insufficient friction to resist the axial and radial displacement that the shock absorber may generate during operation. As a result, the shock absorber cannot be effectively fixed. An excessively large cone angle will also cause the contact point between the clamp and the shock absorber to be too close to the end of the shock absorber. The clamping position will not be centered, which will easily cause the shock absorber to shake, tilt, or even fall off in the clamp. Therefore, in this embodiment, the taper of the first cone 5 and the second cone 8 is set in the range of 40-75 degrees, which can effectively clamp shock absorbers with different apertures, provide uniform clamping force, ensure that the shock absorber is stably fixed during the test, simplify the operation, and improve the working efficiency when clamping the shock absorber.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 Limiting components 11 are provided on the first screw 6 and the second screw 9. The limiting components 11 include connecting blocks 12 and mounting tubes 13. There are two connecting blocks 12 and two mounting tubes 13. The connecting blocks 12 are square and are bolted to the side wall of the positioning block 3. The mounting tube 13 is integrally formed on the side wall of the connecting blocks 12. The inner wall of the mounting tube 13 is threaded. The first screw 6 and the second screw 9 are rotatably connected inside the mounting tube 13. After the first screw 6 and the second screw 9 are screwed and moved to the appropriate position, the first nut 7 and the second nut 10 are screwed. At this time, the first nut 7 and the second nut 10 abut against the end face of the mounting tube 13, thereby limiting the first screw 6 and the second screw 9 and clamping the mounting hole of the shock absorber. To facilitate the tightening of the first screw 6 and the second screw 9, this embodiment provides a handle 15 on both the first screw 6 and the second screw 9. The handle 15 is square in shape, with one handle 15 located at the end of the first screw 6 furthest from the mounting tube 13, and the other handle 15 located at the end of the second screw 9 furthest from the mounting tube 13. To prevent the first nut 7 and the second nut 10 from slipping and falling off, a baffle 27 is provided at the end of the handle 15 near the mounting block 2, providing a limiting function for the first nut 7 and the second nut 10, reducing operational errors, and improving operational safety.

[0038] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2To ensure that the clamping points of the first cone 5 and the second cone 8 always remain on the same horizontal plane, this embodiment provides a guide assembly 16 on the first screw 6 and the second screw 9. The guide assembly 16 includes a first rod 17, a first block 18, a second rod 19, and a second block 20. The first rod 17 is fixed to one side of the base 1, and the second rod 19 is fixed to the other side of the base 1. The first rod 17 is located at the bottom end of the first screw 6, and the second rod 19 is located at the bottom end of the second screw 9. The first rod 17 and the second rod 19 are connected... The first block 18 is fixed to the end of the first rod 17 away from the base 1, and the second block 20 is fixed to the end of the second rod 19 away from the base 1. The first block 18 and the second block 20 have the same structure, and the first block 18 is arranged parallel to the positioning block 3. Both the first block 18 and the second block 20 are provided with guide holes 21. The first screw 6 and the second screw 9 are rotatably connected in the guide holes 21, which can realize that the first screw 6 and the second screw 9 maintain linear movement in the guide holes 21, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of clamping.

[0039] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 A support frame 22 is installed on the base 1, and the support frame 22 is mounted on the top of two positioning blocks 3. The support frame 22 consists of four horizontal bars and four vertical bars. A fixing component 23 is provided on the support frame 22. The fixing component 23 is used to clamp the outer wall of the shock absorber, thereby fixing the position of the shock absorber and ensuring the stability of the shock absorber mounting hole clamping. The fixing component 23 includes a first clamping plate 24 and a second clamping plate 25. The first clamping plate 24 is fixed to one side of the support frame 22, and the second clamping plate 25 is fixed to the other side of the support frame 22. In this embodiment... The clamping part of the first clamping plate 24 is arc-shaped and can fit against the outer wall of the shock absorber. The first clamping plate 24 and the second clamping plate 25 are symmetrically arranged. Anti-slip strips 26 are provided on the inner wall of the first clamping plate 24 and the inner wall of the second clamping plate 25 to increase the friction between the first clamping plate 24 and the shock absorber, and between the second clamping plate 25 and the shock absorber. The first clamping plate 24 and the second clamping plate 25 are fixedly connected by bolts. The first clamping plate 24 and the support frame 22, and the second clamping plate 25 and the support frame 22 are also fixedly connected by bolts.

[0040] The implementation principle of a shock absorber clamp according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: When a shock absorber needs to be tested, the shock absorber is first fixed using the first clamping plate 24 and the second clamping plate 25, so that the position of the shock absorber mounting hole is between the first cone 5 and the second cone 8. Then, the first screw 6 and the second screw 9 are screwed on, and the first screw 6 and the second screw 9 move in a straight line and clamp the mounting hole of the shock absorber. Then, the first nut 7 and the second nut 10 are screwed on to provide sufficient clamping force to achieve the clamping and fixing of the shock absorber. When it is necessary to test shock absorbers with other hole diameters, the shock absorber is replaced. After fixing the shock absorbers with different hole diameters between the first clamping plate 24 and the second clamping plate 25, the first screw 6 and the second screw 9 are screwed on, so that the first cone 5 and the second cone 8 clamp and fix the shock absorber, thus achieving an effective fixing effect on shock absorbers with different hole diameters.
