Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile manufacturing equipment technology, specifically a welding fixture applicable to multiple vehicle models. Background Technology

[0002] Automobile manufacturing is a complex and meticulous process, primarily encompassing design and development, parts manufacturing, assembly, quality inspection, and testing. First, designers meticulously conceive the car's exterior, interior, and performance, and conduct experimental tests. Then, various components, such as the engine, transmission, and chassis, are manufactured in different factories. Next, all components are sent to the assembly line, where they undergo stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly processes to form a complete car. Finally, the new car undergoes rigorous quality inspection and testing to ensure its performance and quality meet standards. The entire process reflects the high degree of automation and precise collaboration in modern industry.

[0003] In automobile manufacturing, welding fixtures play a crucial role, primarily used to secure and position body components to ensure welding precision and consistency. However, with the diversification of the automotive market and changing consumer demands, the limitations of traditional welding fixture designs are becoming increasingly apparent. Typically, traditional welding fixtures are custom-designed for specific car models. This single-model design results in insufficient fixture flexibility, often requiring replacement or adjustment of existing fixtures when the production line needs to switch to a new model. This process is not only time-consuming but also incurs additional material costs and reduces production efficiency. Especially in modern automobile manufacturing, rapid response to market changes and improved production efficiency are key to maintaining a company's competitiveness. Utility Model Content

In automotive clamps, this typically means a more flexible distribution of compressed air to meet the needs of different pneumatic components. By precisely controlling the direction and flow rate of the gas, it can be ensured that each part of the clamp receives the required air pressure, thus achieving stable clamping and positioning functions.

[0033] The top of the main body 1 is fixed with a lifting ring 13, and the number of lifting rings 13 is set to four sets; by setting multiple sets of lifting rings 13, the position of the main body 1 can be easily adjusted.

[0034] Working principle: First, the first cylinder 22 is activated, which drives the pressure arm 23 to move, cooperating with the first hook cylinder 25 to accurately clamp the first type of vehicle part. When it is necessary to change to clamp the second type of vehicle part, the second cylinder 42 is activated, which drives the clamping plate 43 to move, working together with the third welding frame 41 to achieve stable clamping of the second type of vehicle part. If it is necessary to further switch to the third type of vehicle part, the third cylinder 52 is activated, which drives the pressure block 53 to adjust its position to adapt to and clamp the third type of vehicle part. Similarly, for the fourth type of vehicle part, the fourth cylinder 62 is activated, which pushes the clamping block 63 to move to the predetermined position to complete the clamping of the vehicle part. This clamping system, through the sequential activation and adjustment of four independent cylinders and their auxiliary clamping mechanisms, achieves rapid and accurate clamping of parts for multiple vehicle models, greatly improving the flexibility and efficiency of the production line and meeting the diverse parts assembly needs in automobile manufacturing.
