Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive pipe drilling and positioning technology, and in particular relates to a positioning mechanism for drilling automotive pipes. Background Technology

[0002] Automotive pipe fittings refer to components used to connect and transport various fluids during automobile manufacturing and use. They play a crucial role in various automotive systems, ensuring the normal operation and safety of the vehicle. Positioning is required when drilling automotive pipe fittings. An automotive pipe fitting drilling positioning mechanism is a device used for precise drilling of pipe fittings, primarily aimed at improving drilling accuracy and reducing drilling costs. Specifically, the positioning mechanism ensures the stability of the pipe fitting's position during drilling by precisely fixing and guiding it, thus preventing the drilling assembly from moving the pipe fitting and causing positional deviation. This improves drilling accuracy and reduces cost increases due to positional deviations. However, existing positioning mechanisms are complex, reduce fixing efficiency, and delay drilling. Therefore, a new positioning mechanism for drilling automotive pipe fittings is proposed.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN215746526U discloses a drilling and positioning device for automotive shock absorbers, relating to the field of automotive shock absorber drilling and positioning technology. It addresses the problem of unstable drilling and positioning during the drilling process of existing automotive shock absorbers due to their varied shapes. The device includes a drilling and positioning mechanism body mounted on top of the automotive shock absorber processing table. An electric hydraulic cylinder is mounted on the lower surface of the front end of the drilling and positioning mechanism body. A drive motor is located below the electric hydraulic cylinder, and connecting mounting brackets are installed on the outer walls of both sides of the drive motor.

[0004] The aforementioned patent has the following problems:

[0005] Compared to existing positioning mechanisms, which are complex in structure and inconvenient to fix, requiring workers to perform complex fixing before drilling, thus delaying drilling and reducing fixing efficiency, existing technologies do not allow for drill bit maintenance and storage after drilling. Dust and metal shavings accumulate after use, damaging the drill bit and affecting its lifespan. Furthermore, prolonged exposure to the outside environment can lead to damage from external impacts, affecting normal use. Therefore, we propose a positioning mechanism for drilling automotive pipe fittings. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to address the aforementioned technical problems by providing a positioning mechanism for drilling automotive pipe fittings, which achieves the effect of convenient positioning structure fixation and maintenance and storage of the drill bit after drilling.

[0008] Based on the above structure, the fixing block can be fixed through the collection groove. The fixing block is curved to match the curvature of the pipe fitting, placing the pipe fitting in place. The limiting plate is placed inside the collection groove, and then the limiting plate is pushed to lock the pipe fitting in the collection groove. Then, the limiting plate is fixed inside the through hole by the fixing bolt, which can fix the limiting plate and lock pipe fittings of different lengths and sizes. The pipe fitting fixing mechanism is convenient enough, and no complicated fixing is required before drilling, which will not delay the drilling work and increase the efficiency of the fixing work. Then, the drill bit of the drilling assembly can be placed inside the work box through the collection hole. Then, the cleaning assembly first passes through the cleaning assembly. The cleaning assembly is driven by the rotation of the motor to drive the roller. The carpet on the surface of the roller can clean the surface of the drill bit, removing dirt and dust. Then the drill bit... The drill bit falls onto the drain plate, then the drain plate is pulled out, and the drill bit falls into the oil collection tank. The drill bit falls into the oil collection tank equipped with a mesh frame, then the drain plate is put back in. Then the worker lifts the oil collection tank, hangs the mesh frame at the bottom of the drain plate, and dries it with a drying device. When the drill bit is needed, after soaking in hot water, another mesh frame can be hung at the bottom of the drain plate, and the drill bit can be put in for drying. Magnets are installed at the bottom of the oil collection tank and the drain plate for easy fixation. When the drill bit is needed, it is placed in hot water to remove the oil film, and then dried with a drying device. If the oil is not completely clean after soaking, the worker can wipe it clean with a paper towel. After drilling, the drill bit is maintained. Metal shavings and dust will not damage the drill bit, will not affect the service life of the drill bit, and will not be damaged by external impacts or water spills, and will not affect the normal use of the drill bit.

[0013] Preferably, a water pipe is fixedly installed on the other side of the oil collection tank, and a sealing plug is movably installed inside the water pipe, so that the water pipe can easily discharge lubricating oil.

[0014] Preferably, a blower assembly is fixedly installed on one side of the bottom of the drawer, and a ventilation hole is provided through the other side of the blower assembly, so that the blower assembly can facilitate the drying process.

[0015] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0016] 1. This positioning mechanism for drilling automotive pipe fittings utilizes a collecting groove to fix a fixing block. The fixing block has an arc shape that matches the arc of the pipe fitting, placing the pipe fitting in place. A limiting plate is placed inside the collecting groove, and then the limiting plate is pushed to lock the pipe fitting into the collecting groove. The limiting plate is then fixed inside the through hole by a fixing bolt, which can fix the limiting plate in place. It can hold pipe fittings of different lengths and sizes. The pipe fitting fixing mechanism is convenient enough that no complicated fixing is required before drilling, which will not delay the drilling work and increases the efficiency of the fixing work.

[0017] 2. This positioning mechanism for drilling automotive pipe fittings utilizes a collection hole to place the drill bit of the drilling assembly into the work chamber. First, a cleaning assembly, driven by a motor, rotates a roller. The blanket on the roller surface cleans the drill bit, removing dirt and dust. Then, the drill bit falls onto a drawer plate. The drawer plate is then removed, and the drill bit falls into an oil collection tank equipped with a mesh frame. The drawer plate is then reinserted, and the operator lifts the oil collection tank, hanging the mesh frame at the bottom of the drawer plate. A drying device then dries the material before use. After soaking the drill bit in hot water, you can hang it on another mesh rack at the bottom of the drawer plate and put the drill bit in to dry it. Magnets are installed in the oil collection groove and at the bottom of the drawer plate for easy fixation.
