[0022] 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.
[0023] Please see Figures 1-5 A stabilizing clamping device for automotive interior panel tooling includes a support plate 1, on which L-shaped clamps 2 are provided. Two sets of L-shaped clamps 2 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate 1. A clamping and fixing assembly is provided on the support plate 1. The clamping and fixing assembly clamps and fixes the interior panel through the L-shaped clamps 2. After the interior panel is placed on the support plate 1, the clamping and fixing assembly operates, driving the L-shaped clamps 2 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate 1 to move, clamping the interior panel from both sides to achieve fixation. Through the coordinated operation of a series of components such as a motor 7, a threaded rod 8, and a moving block 5, reliable clamping of the interior panel is achieved, solving the problem of interior panels colliding and scratching each other due to the lack of an effective fixing device when transporting interior panels in existing tooling vehicles. This device meets the requirements for fixation stability in the production and transportation of automotive interior panels.
[0024] A motor 7 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1, and a threaded rod 8 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 7. The threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the support plate 1. After the motor 7 starts moving, its output end drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 8 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the support plate 1, the threaded rod 8 can rotate stably.
[0025] The outer wall of the threaded rod 8 is threaded with a movable block 5. The movable block 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 1. There are two sets of movable blocks 5, which are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the threaded rod 8. The top of the movable block 5 is movably fitted with a lifting sleeve 4. The rotating threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the movable block 5, so that the movable block 5 moves axially on the threaded rod 8. Since the movable block 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 1, the stability of the movement of the movable block 5 is ensured. The two movable blocks 5 are symmetrically arranged at both ends of the threaded rod 8 and can move synchronously to the middle or to both sides. The lifting sleeve 4 movably fitted at the top of the movable block 5 moves together with the movable block 5.
[0026] The clamping and fixing assembly also includes a limiting plate 9, an inclined groove 10, a fixing rod 11, a roller 12, and an L-shaped connecting rod 13. The L-shaped clamp 2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the moving block 5, and the L-shaped connecting rod 13 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lifting sleeve 4. There are two sets of L-shaped connecting rods 13, symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lifting sleeve 4. The limiting plate 9 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 1. The inclined groove 10 is opened on the side wall of the limiting plate 9. The fixing rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the L-shaped connecting rod 13. The roller 12 is rotatably sleeved on the side of the fixing rod 11 away from the L-shaped connecting rod 13. The roller 12 is located on the inner wall of the inclined groove 10, and the inclined groove 10 matches the roller 12. When the moving block 5 moves, it drives the L-shaped clamp 2 to move synchronously, and at the same time, the lifting sleeve 4 drives the L-shaped connecting rod 13 to move. The roller 12 on the fixing rod 11 at the bottom of the L-shaped connecting rod 13 rolls in the inclined groove 10 on the side wall of the limiting plate 9. As the roller 12 moves downward along the inclined groove 10, the lifting sleeve 4 moves towards the center in the horizontal direction through the L-shaped connecting rod 13, and moves downward along the moving block 5 in the vertical direction, thereby driving the L-shaped clamping plate 2 to clamp and position the interior panel.
[0027] A rubber pad 6 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the L-shaped clamp 2. When the L-shaped clamp 2 clamps the interior panel, the rubber pad 6 on the side wall of the L-shaped clamp 2 first contacts the edge of the interior panel and uses the elastic properties of rubber to tightly adhere to the surface of the interior panel.
[0028] A movable plate 3 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the clamping plate 2. A spring 14 is fixedly connected between the top of the movable plate 3 and the inner wall of the L-shaped clamping plate 2. The spring 14 is located inside the L-shaped clamping plate 2. The bottom of the movable plate 3 is in contact with the top of the support plate 1. Under the pressure of the top of the support plate 1, the L-shaped clamping plate 2 descends along the movable plate 3, compressing the spring 14.
[0029] The support plate 1 has four rotatable casters 15 at the bottom corners; when the tooling cart is pushed, the casters 15 roll on the ground to move the tooling cart.
[0030] Structural Description: Support Plate 1: Serves as the load-bearing foundation of the entire device, used to place the automotive interior panel and provide a platform for subsequent fixing operations. Its bottom not only has a fixed connection to the motor 7, providing power support for the device, but also provides a track on its inner wall for the sliding of the moving block 5, ensuring the stability of the moving block 5's movement.
[0031] Motor 7: Installed at the bottom of support plate 1, after starting, its output end drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate, providing power for the movement of the entire clamping and fixing assembly, realizing automated operation and improving work efficiency.
[0032] Threaded rod 8: Rotatably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of the support plate 1, and driven to rotate by the motor 7. Due to its threaded connection with the moving block 5, the rotational motion output by the motor 7 is converted into the linear motion of the moving block 5, causing the moving blocks 5 to move closer or further apart.
[0033] Moving block 5: It is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 8 and slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 1 to ensure smooth movement. There are two sets of moving blocks 5, symmetrically distributed at both ends of the threaded rod 8. They move synchronously when the threaded rod 8 rotates, driving the lifting sleeve 4 that is movably sleeved at the top to move.
[0034] Lifting sleeve 4: It is movably sleeved on the top of the moving block 5 and moves together with the moving block 5. Its side wall is fixed with an L-shaped connecting rod 13. During the movement, the L-shaped connecting rod 13 changes the direction of movement, thereby driving the L-shaped clamping plate 2 to clamp the interior panel.
[0035] L-shaped connecting rod 13: fixed to the side wall of the lifting sleeve 4, the roller 12 on the bottom fixed rod 11 rolls in the inclined groove 10 of the side wall of the limiting plate 9. Through this structure, the horizontal movement of the lifting sleeve 4 is transformed into a composite movement in the horizontal and vertical directions, realizing the three-dimensional positioning and clamping of the interior panel.
[0036] Limiting plate 9: Fixed to the bottom of support plate 1, with inclined groove 10 on its side wall to provide a track for the rolling of roller 12, guiding roller 12 to move along a specific trajectory, thereby achieving precise control of the movement direction of lifting sleeve 4.
[0037] Inclined groove 10: It is formed on the side wall of the limiting plate 9 and matches the roller 12. As the roller 12 rolls along the inclined groove 10, it changes the direction of movement of the L-shaped connecting rod 13, thereby driving the lifting sleeve 4 to achieve compound movement.
[0038] Fixed rod 11: Fixed to the bottom side wall of L-shaped connecting rod 13, used to install roller 12 and transmit the movement of roller 12 to L-shaped connecting rod 13, thereby driving the lifting sleeve 4 to move.
[0039] Roller 12: Rotatably sleeved on the side of the fixed rod 11 away from the L-shaped connecting rod 13, located on the inner wall of the inclined groove 10. By rolling within the inclined groove 10, the horizontal movement of the lifting sleeve 4 is converted into a compound movement, achieving precise clamping of the interior panel.
[0040] L-shaped clamps 2: Symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support plate 1, fixed to the side wall of the moving block 5, and clamping the interior trim panel under the action of the lifting sleeve 4. The rubber pads 6 on their side walls can prevent the surface of the interior trim panel from being scratched, while increasing friction and improving the reliability of clamping.
[0041] Rubber pad 6: Fixed to the side wall of L-shaped clamp 2. When L-shaped clamp 2 clamps the interior panel, it first contacts the edge of the interior panel. Utilizing the elastic properties of rubber, it buffers the clamping force, avoids damage to the surface of the interior panel, and enhances the stability of clamping.
[0042] Movable plate 3: It is slidably connected to the inner wall of the bottom end of L-shaped clamp 2. When L-shaped clamp 2 moves downward to clamp the interior panel, its bottom contacts the top of support plate 1 and is squeezed. The inner wall of L-shaped clamp 2 slides downward along movable plate 3, compressing spring 14.
[0043] Spring 14: Connected between the top of the movable plate 3 and the inner wall of the L-shaped clamp 2. The inner wall of the L-shaped clamp 2 slides down along the movable plate 3, compressing the spring 14.
[0044] Mobile wheels 15: Rotatably connected to the four corners of the bottom of the support plate 1, facilitating the movement of the tooling vehicle and improving the mobility of the interior panel transportation.
[0045] Instructions for use
[0046] Place the interior trim panel smoothly on the support plate 1 to prepare for subsequent fixing operations. Start the motor 7, and the motor output drives the threaded rod 8 to rotate. Since the threaded rod 8 is threadedly connected to the moving block 5, and the moving block 5 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the support plate 1, the two moving blocks 5 move closer to each other when the threaded rod 8 rotates. The moving blocks 5 drive the lifting sleeve 4 to move, and the L-shaped connecting rod 13 fixed to the side wall of the lifting sleeve 4 moves synchronously. The roller 12 on the bottom fixed rod 11 of the L-shaped connecting rod 13 moves along the inclined groove 10 on the side wall of the limiting plate 9. As the roller 12 moves downward along the inclined groove 10, it drives the lifting sleeve 4 through the L-shaped connecting rod 13, moving it both closer to the center and downward along the moving block 5. The lifting sleeve 4 drives the L-shaped clamping plate 2 to move, clamping the interior trim panel. At the same time, under the pressure of the top of the support plate 1, the moving plate 3 causes the L-shaped clamping plate 2 to descend along the moving plate 3, compressing the spring 14 to fix the top of the panel. During the fixing process, the rubber pad 6 on the side wall of the L-shaped clamping plate 2 contacts the edge of the panel to prevent damage to the panel.
[0047] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
