Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tool processing, and in particular to a clamp assembly fixture. Background Technology
[0002] A clip is a common tool, generally consisting of two clamping arms and a spring. It is simple in structure and practical. It has applications in many fields, such as clothing clips in daily life and clips for electronic devices.
[0003] Current clamp assembly generally requires manual assembly. This involves manually overcoming spring tension to insert rivets, which can easily lead to fatigue, low production efficiency, and is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Therefore, this invention proposes a clamp assembly fixture to at least partially solve the problems that exist in the prior art. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above problems, a clamp assembly fixture is proposed to overcome or at least partially solve the above problems.
[0005] In some embodiments of this application, a clamp assembly fixture is disclosed, comprising:
[0006] The mold head has a channel inside, its front end is an arc-shaped head, and its rear end has a V-shaped opening;
[0007] A fixed block has a push rod running through its middle, the push rod being aligned with the channel, and its front end having a U-shaped groove.
[0008] Preferably, it also includes a mounting platform;
[0009] The mold head and the fixing block are mounted on the mounting platform.
[0010] Preferably, the channel is Z-shaped or I-shaped.
[0011] Preferably, the front end of the arc-shaped head is further provided with a rivet positioning hole.
[0012] Preferably, it further includes a telescopic assembly connected to the end of the push rod.
[0013] Preferably, the telescopic component is a cylinder or an electric actuator.
[0014] The present invention has the following advantages:
[0015] The mold head has an internal channel with an arc-shaped front end and a V-shaped opening at the rear. A fixing block has a push rod running through its center, aligned with the channel, and its front end has a U-shaped groove. By pre-positioning a spring in the V-shaped opening of the mold head, the channel holds both ends of the spring in place, creating a stable initial position. This avoids slippage and uneven force distribution when manually handling the spring, reducing the need for direct hand contact with the spring's elasticity. The push rod's U-shaped groove, in conjunction with the arc-shaped head, eliminates the need for manually opening the spring, significantly reducing the manual effort required to overcome the elasticity, improving operational comfort, reducing assembly time, and increasing production efficiency.

[0024] To make the objectives, features, and advantages of this application more apparent and understandable, the application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 7 This illustration shows a clamp assembly fixture provided by some embodiments of the present invention, which may specifically include: a mold head 1, which has a channel 11 inside, an arc-shaped head 12 at its front end, and a V-shaped opening at its rear end; a fixing block 2, in which a push rod 3 is provided through the middle, the push rod 3 being aligned with the channel 11, and having a U-shaped groove 31 at its front end.
[0026] In use, place the spring 5 at the V-shaped opening of the mold head 1, then push the push rod 3 to move the spring 5 to the arc-shaped head 12. Both ends of the spring 5 are secured in the channel 11, and the middle of the spring 5 protrudes from the arc-shaped head 12. Then, place the clamp that needs to install the spring 5 at the front end of the arc-shaped head 12. Figure 5 As shown, align the hole of clip 6 with the hole in the middle of spring 5, and then insert the screw or rivet into the hole to fix it.
[0027] By pre-positioning spring 5 in the V-shaped opening of mold head 1 and using channel 11 to hold both ends of spring 5, a stable initial positioning is formed, avoiding slippage and uneven force when manually holding spring 5, and reducing the number of steps where the hand directly contacts the elastic force of spring 5. When the U-shaped groove 31 at the front end of push rod 3 pushes spring 5, the mechanical structure pushes the middle of spring 5 to the outside of arc head 12, so that spring 5 is in a preset tension state. At this time, the operator only needs to align the hole of clamp 6 with the hole in the middle of spring 5, without manually opening spring 5, significantly reducing the manual labor required to overcome the elastic force and improving operating comfort. Through the cooperation of mold head and push rod, the spring 5 installation process is transformed into a standardized action of "pushing-positioning-threading", avoiding the randomness of manual operation, reducing assembly time, and improving production efficiency.
[0028] In some embodiments of this application, a mounting platform is also included; the mold head 1 and the fixing block 2 are disposed on the mounting platform. Fixing the mold head 1 and the fixing block 2 to the mounting platform ensures that the push rod 3 and the channel 11 remain coaxially aligned, preventing shaking or positional shifts when the tooling is held by hand. The stable mechanical structure reduces the need for continuous correction of the tooling position by the operator, further improving assembly accuracy and efficiency, and reducing rework rates caused by inaccurate positioning.
[0029] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the channel 11 is Z-shaped or I-shaped. The special cross-sectional shape of the channel 11 (such as Z-shaped or I-shaped) can form a more stable engagement with the end structures (such as hook-shaped or straight ends) at both ends of the spring 5, preventing the spring 5 from shifting laterally or falling off during the push rod process. Compared with the traditional straight channel, this structure enhances the reliability of the spring 5 positioning, avoids repeated manual adjustment of the spring 5 position, further reduces operational fatigue, and improves assembly stability.
[0030] The front end of the arc-shaped head 12 is also provided with a rivet positioning hole 4. This solves the problem of deviations that easily occur when manually aligning rivet holes, leading to difficulties in threading rivets and low efficiency. The rivet positioning hole 4 at the front end of the arc-shaped head 12 provides a clear insertion guide for the screw or rivet. Operators do not need to align the hole positions based on experience; they only need to align the clamp hole with the positioning hole to thread the rivet. This significantly reduces the difficulty of hole alignment, reduces visual fatigue and the time spent on repeated hole alignment, and is especially suitable for rapid assembly in assembly line operations, improving assembly accuracy and efficiency.
[0031] In some embodiments of this application, a telescopic assembly (not shown in the figures) is also included, which is connected to the end of the push rod 3. This solves the problem that manually pushing the push rod still requires a certain amount of force, and long-term operation can easily lead to hand muscle fatigue.
[0032] Furthermore, the telescopic component is a cylinder or an electric actuator. By connecting the actuator 3 to the telescopic component (such as a cylinder or electric actuator), manual pushing is converted into mechanical power drive. Operators only need to control the start and stop of the telescopic component (e.g., a foot switch or button), without directly applying pushing force, completely avoiding the physical exertion of overcoming spring force. This improvement achieves semi-automatic operation, significantly reduces labor intensity, is suitable for long-term continuous production, significantly improves production efficiency, and reduces operational errors caused by human fatigue.
[0033] In this application, the core pain point of "overcoming elasticity" is solved by replacing manual positioning and pushing springs with mechanical structures; the operation accuracy and consistency are improved by fixing it to the mounting platform; the special channel 11 and positioning hole 4 reduce the difficulty of spring 5 displacement and hole alignment; and the mechanical power replaces human labor, completely eliminating physical exertion and realizing efficient and low-fatigue industrial production.
