Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of vehicle technology. Specifically, this utility model relates to a movable positioning pin subframe and body assembly device. Background Technology

[0002] There are generally four ways to install and position a car subframe to the body: ① Precise positioning of the subframe and tooling, followed by precise positioning of the tooling to the body, then tightening the mounting bolts. After installation, the tooling is removed. ② Welding locating pins onto the subframe, with locating holes designed on the body. During installation, the locating pins are aligned with the locating holes, and then the mounting bolts are tightened. ③ Designing one small hole and one strip hole at the subframe mounting point, with the rest being larger holes. During installation, the holes are aligned, and the bolts are self-positioned and tightened. ④ Designing one small hole and one strip hole at the subframe mounting point, with the rest being larger holes. Welding locating studs to the body. During installation, the studs are aligned with the mounting holes, and the nuts are tightened.

[0003] A specification published on June 7, 2024, with application number 202410212381.3, discloses an adjustable positioning method for the assembly of a load-bearing vehicle body structure and a subframe. This invention adds an adjustable positioning pin mechanism to the front area of ​​the subframe and places the subframe within two sets of positioning fixtures with fixed relative positions: a subframe positioning fixture and a body positioning fixture. The adjustable positioning pin is pre-adjusted and tightened relative to the subframe welding positioning datum and the body main positioning datum, achieving iterative positioning of the positioning pin relative position. The pre-adjusted subframe with adjustable positioning pins is placed in a flexible production line, and assembly positioning is achieved by matching the adjustable positioning pins with the body longitudinal beams. The iteratively positioned adjustable positioning pins, located in the front area of ​​the subframe, reduce the height relative to conventional positioning pins and shorten the longitudinal distance to the body main positioning datum, reducing assembly positioning accuracy issues caused by positioning pin and workpiece position tolerances. It also avoids the impact of springback deformation of the welding positioning pins and body welded components on positioning accuracy, while reducing the space occupation risk of the positioning pins on the body clamps.

[0004] In the existing technology, regarding the four methods mentioned above, method ① involves a long design and development cycle for tooling, which is expensive. Furthermore, during vehicle after-sales maintenance, the lack of tooling necessitates disassembly and reassembly, leading to positioning deviations. Regarding method ②, to ensure accurate installation positioning, the diameter of the locating pin is typically 0.1-0.2mm smaller than the diameter of the body locating hole. Under torsional conditions, asynchronous deformation of the body sheet metal and subframe can cause friction noise between the locating pin and the body sheet metal. Regarding method ③, the bolt self-positioning requires hole-to-hole alignment during assembly, which is inconvenient for workers and usually requires multiple adjustments to achieve alignment. Regarding method ④, the body-welded studs require high precision in position and perpendicularity, which is difficult to guarantee with the body itself. Moreover, the risk of deformation from impacts during the transport of the body-in-white is very high. Utility Model Content
