Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling and fixture technology, specifically a simple tooling and fixture applicable to vehicle lights. Background Technology

[0002] The lighting effect and lifespan of vehicle lights are determined by factors such as the quality of component processing and assembly. Problems in any aspect, such as structural processing quality, structural assembly quality, production environment quality, and protection of finished and semi-finished products, will lead to a decline in the structural quality of vehicle lights, ultimately affecting the light efficiency, lifespan, and reliability of vehicle lights.

[0003] Therefore, after the production of car lights is completed, various tests need to be carried out to verify whether the quality of the car lights is up to standard. When testing car lights, it is necessary to use tooling fixtures to simulate the installation posture of the car lights in the actual vehicle before testing. However, since car lights of different specifications have different shapes and sizes, traditional tooling fixtures are generally special custom fixtures with fixed mounting points on the plate. They can only install car lights of specific shapes and sizes, and cannot install car lights of different shapes and sizes, which limits their use. Utility Model Content

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figure 1-10 As shown, a simple tooling fixture for vehicle lights includes a base 1 with dimensions of 800*600mm, and further includes: a sliding groove 2 formed on the inner wall of the base 1, located in the middle of the base 1, with a slider 3 slidably connected in the sliding groove 2. The slider 3 is cross-shaped and the sliding groove 2 is adapted to the slider 3. A fixing plate 4 is fixedly connected to the slider 3, and a fastening bolt 16 is threaded onto the fixing plate 4. Tightening the fastening bolt 16 downwards and engaging it with the base 1 can limit and fix the slider 3 on the base 1; and a vertical rod 15 for fixing. A connecting component 5 is installed on the top of the slider 3 and the upright 15. A connecting plate 6 is installed on the connecting component 5. The connecting plate 6 has screw holes 7, and mounting screws 8 are threaded into the screw holes 7. The screw holes 7 are two sets of vertically intersecting screws, which can be installed from the top and left and right sides of the connecting plate 6. The mounting screws 8 are of type M5. The mounting bracket on the vehicle light is fixed to the connecting plate 6 by the mounting screws 8. A limiting component 9 is installed on the upright 15. The angle and height of the connecting plate 6 can be adjusted by using the limiting component 9.

[0030] It should be noted that by adjusting the position of the slider 3 in the slide 2, the upright 15 can be adjusted to a suitable distance. The connecting component 5 and the connecting plate 6 can be adjusted to a suitable position by the limiting component 9. The mounting bracket on the vehicle light is fixed to the connecting plate 6 by the mounting screw 8. It can adapt to different sizes of light types. The size of this device can be used for most vehicle lights on the market. In addition to vibration and mechanical shock tests, which require special tooling fixtures, other tests (such as high temperature, low temperature, temperature shock, dustproof, and waterproof tests) only require the installation of simple fixtures for testing, and this device can meet all these requirements.

[0031] The connecting assembly 5 includes an upper connecting block 501 and a lower connecting block 503 sleeved on the outside of the upright 15. The upper connecting block 501 and the lower connecting block 503 are detachably connected by bolts. A connecting sleeve 502 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper connecting block 501, and a collar 504 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lower connecting block 503. The collar 504 is an open, unclosed ring, and a portion of its top is not connected to the lower connecting block 503. When the upper connecting block 501 and the lower connecting block 503 move up and down along the upright 15, they will cause the connecting sleeve 502 and the collar 504 to move synchronously. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, the higher part of the top of the collar 504 is welded to the bottom of the lower connecting block 503, while the lower part does not contact the lower connecting block 503. A rubber sleeve 10 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the collar 504, which can make the connection between the collar 504 and the upright 15 more secure. A locking block 12 is fixedly connected to the upper connecting block 501, and a locking groove 11 is fixedly connected to the lower connecting block 503. When the upper connecting block 501 and the lower connecting block 503 are connected, the locking block 12 is engaged in the locking groove 11, which can improve the connection strength between the upper and lower connecting blocks.

[0032] The limiting assembly 9 includes two mounting plates 901 fixedly connected to the opening of the collar 504. One mounting plate 901 is threadedly connected to a screw 902, and the other mounting plate 901 is rotatably connected to the end of the screw 902. Figure 8 and Figure 9 As shown, two mounting plates 901 are fixed side by side on the collar 504. The mounting plate 901 on the left is threadedly connected to the screw 902, and the mounting plate 901 on the right is rotatably connected to the end of the screw 902. By rotating the screw 902, the mounting plate 901 on the left can be moved away from or closer to the mounting plate 901 on the other side, thereby causing the collar 504 to retract or expand, limiting or loosening the lower connecting block 503 on the upright 15, and adjusting the position of the entire connecting assembly 5 and the connecting plate 6.

[0033] The inner wall of the base 1 is provided with a groove 14, which can reduce the weight of the base 1 and save materials. The base 1 is provided with an installation groove 13, which is connected to the slide 2. The slider 3 can be snapped into the slide 2 from the installation groove 13, which facilitates its installation and disassembly.

[0034] Working principle: The slider 3 is installed from the mounting slot 13 into the sliding groove 2 of the base 1. By moving the position of the slider 3, the upright 15 can be adjusted to a suitable position. Then, the fastening bolts 16 on the fixing plate 4 are tightened to limit the fixing plate 4 on the base 1, thereby fixing the position of the upright 15. Next, the position of the connecting plate 6 can be adjusted according to the size of the car light. During adjustment, the position of the upper and lower connecting blocks is adjusted to a suitable position by rotating and moving them up and down. Then, the position of the connecting plate 6 is fixed by the limiting component 9. The mounting seat on the car light is fixed to the connecting plate 6 by the mounting screws 8, thereby fixing the car light on the upright 15. The size of this device is suitable for most car lights on the market. Except for vibration and mechanical impact tests which require special tooling fixtures, other tests (such as high temperature, low temperature, temperature shock, dustproof, and waterproof tests) only require the installation of simple fixtures, which this device can meet.
