Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electric vehicle manufacturing technology, specifically to a fixing device. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, with continuous economic development, the number of motor vehicles has been increasing, leading to increasingly serious problems such as traffic congestion and vehicle exhaust pollution. Electric vehicles, as a low-carbon and convenient mode of transportation, are becoming increasingly popular.

[0003] The upper fork of an electric vehicle is an important component of the vehicle's suspension system. It is mainly used to connect the front wheel to the frame and undertakes the functions of support, shock absorption, and steering.

[0004] Currently, most electric vehicles on the market are manufactured by manually spot-welding parts together using molds on a workbench. The parts are then welded together using welding equipment and reverse welding in the next process. After welding, the parts are placed on a calibration machine in the next process and manually calibrated with a rubber hammer. As a result, the accuracy of the upper fork formed by spot welding and subsequent welding cannot be guaranteed. At the same time, a second calibration process is required, which leads to many procedures and increased costs. Utility Model Content

[0035] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this utility model provides a fixing device for fixing the riser tube 100, handle tube 101, and shoulder cover 102 of an electric vehicle upper fork during welding. The device includes a bracket 200, a clamping mechanism, a first positioning mechanism, a second positioning mechanism, and a power mechanism. The clamping mechanism is located at the bottom end of the bracket 200 and can rotate along its own axis to fix the riser tube 100 to the bracket 200. The top end of the riser tube 100 is inserted into the central hole of the shoulder cover 102. The first positioning mechanism is located on the side wall of the bracket 200 to limit the position of the shoulder cover 102. The shoulder cover 102 has a handle tube 101 on the side opposite to the riser tube 100. The second positioning mechanism is parallel to the first positioning mechanism and located on the bracket 200. The output end of the power mechanism is connected to the second positioning mechanism to drive the second positioning mechanism to move along the length and height directions of the bracket 200 and limit the position of the handle tube 101.

[0036] In this embodiment, the fixing device includes a bracket 200, a clamping mechanism, a first positioning mechanism, a second positioning mechanism, and a power mechanism. First, the top end of the upright tube 100 is inserted into the central hole of the shoulder cover 102. The clamping mechanism is rotated to fix the upright tube 100 on the bracket 200. At the same time, since the first positioning mechanism is also provided on the bracket 200, the relative position between the shoulder cover 102 and the bracket 200 is also restricted after the clamping mechanism fixes the upright tube 100. A handle tube 101 is provided on the side of the shoulder cover 102 away from the upright tube 100. The handle tube 101 is fixed to the relative position of the shoulder cover 102 and the upright tube by moving along the length and height directions of the bracket 200 through the second positioning mechanism parallel to the first positioning mechanism. Finally, the power mechanism drives the clamping device to press it. Finally, the device is directly welded in one go using welding equipment, which ensures the production accuracy of the upper fork and eliminates the need for secondary manual correction, reducing the labor intensity of workers and thus reducing labor costs.

[0037] Of course, the aforementioned welding equipment can be a fully automatic welding robot or other welding tools that facilitate one-time welding. Its purpose has not departed from the design concept of this utility model and should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0038] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the clamping mechanism includes a quick clamp 300 and a support assembly. The support assembly is mounted on the bracket 200, and the quick clamp 300 is fixed to the support assembly. The quick clamp 300 can rotate along its own axis to fix the riser 100 to the support assembly.

[0039] In this embodiment, after inserting the top end of the riser 100 into the central hole of the shoulder cover 102, it is placed at the corresponding position of the bracket 200. By rotating the quick clamp 300, the riser 100 is fixed on the support assembly. During use, the riser 100 can be kept fixed on the support assembly by manually holding the handle end of the quick clamp 300.

[0040] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the support assembly includes a fixing block 301 and a support block 302. The fixing block 301 is located on the bracket 200, and the support block 302 is located on the fixing block 301. A sleeve 303 is provided between the outer wall of the riser 100 and the inner wall of the central hole. The support block 302 is used to support the sleeve 303 and the riser 100.

[0041] In this embodiment, when the riser 100 is inserted into the central hole of the shoulder cover 102, a sleeve 303 is also inserted. The sleeve 303 is located between the outer wall of the riser 100 and the inner wall of the central hole, and protrudes from the central hole. At the same time, a fixing block 301 is provided on the bracket 200, and a support block 302 is provided on the fixing block 301. The support block 302 restricts the sleeve 303 and the riser 100, so as to cooperate with the first positioning mechanism to restrict the relative position of the riser 100 and the shoulder cover 102 with the bracket 200.

[0042] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first positioning mechanism includes a limiting block 400 and a limiting post 401. The limiting block 400 is symmetrically arranged on the side walls on both sides of the bracket 200. The limiting block 400 is provided with a limiting post 401. The limiting post 401 cooperates with the limiting block 400 to limit the position of the shoulder cover 102.

[0043] In this embodiment, limit blocks 400 are symmetrically installed on both sides of the area corresponding to the position of the support 200 and the shoulder cover 102. At the same time, limit posts 401 are installed at the bottom of the limit blocks 400. The limit blocks 400 can connect with the side wall of the shoulder cover 102, and the limit posts 401 can support the shoulder cover 102. Therefore, the limit blocks 400 and the limit posts 401 cooperate with each other to limit the position of the shoulder cover 102.

[0044] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second positioning mechanism includes a first positioning component and a second positioning component. The first positioning component is disposed on the bracket 200 and is used to limit the position of the handle tube 101 along the width direction of the bracket 200. The second positioning component is disposed on the first positioning component and is used to limit the position of the handle tube 101 along the height direction of the bracket 200.

[0045] Furthermore, the first positioning component includes a lateral positioning block 500 and a longitudinal positioning block 501. The lateral positioning block 500 is disposed on the bracket 200, and the longitudinal positioning block 501 is slidably disposed on the longitudinal positioning block 501.

[0046] In this embodiment, the transverse positioning block 500 is mounted on the bracket 200, and a slide is provided on the transverse positioning block 500. The longitudinal positioning block 501 is provided with a slider adapted to slide on the side facing the transverse positioning block 500, so that the longitudinal positioning block 501 can slide along the length direction of the transverse positioning block 500 to adjust the distance between the two handle tubes 101, which is equivalent to limiting the position of the two handle tubes 101 along the width direction of the bracket 200.

[0047] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the second positioning component includes a handle positioning block 502, which is slidably disposed on the side wall of the transverse positioning block 500.

[0048] In this embodiment, a slide is also provided on the side wall of the handle positioning block 502, and a slider that can be adapted to the slide is provided on the side of the longitudinal positioning block 501 facing the slide. This allows the handle positioning block 502 to move along the height direction of the longitudinal positioning block 501, so that the handle 101 can be pressed against the side wall of the shoulder cover 102 by the handle 101 fixing block 301, which is equivalent to restricting the position of the handle 101 along the height direction of the bracket 200.

[0049] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the power mechanism includes a first drive cylinder 600 and a second drive cylinder 601. The output end of the first drive cylinder 600 is connected to the handle tube positioning block 502 to fix the handle tube 101 to the shoulder cover 102. The output end of the second drive cylinder 601 is connected to the handle tube 101 to fix the handle tube 101 to the transverse positioning block 500.

[0050] In this embodiment, the power mechanism includes a first drive cylinder 600 and a second drive cylinder 601. The first drive cylinder 600 drives the handle positioning block 502 to move along the height direction of the longitudinal positioning block 501 to press the handle 101 onto the shoulder cover 102. At the same time, the second drive cylinder 601 presses the handle 101 onto the transverse positioning block 500 to facilitate welding.

[0051] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side of the transverse positioning block 500 facing the handle tube 101 has an arc-shaped groove.

[0052] In this embodiment, the side of the transverse positioning block 500 facing the handle tube 101 is a contoured surface, which is set as a groove that matches the outer wall of the handle tube 101, so as to ensure that the handle tube 101 will not shake when fixed, thereby improving stability.

[0053] According to one embodiment provided by this utility model, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the outer wall of the transverse positioning block 500 is provided with scale lines, and the bracket 200 is provided with a number of screw holes 201 evenly spaced along its own height direction.

[0054] In this embodiment, a scale line is provided on the outer wall of the transverse positioning block 500. By providing the scale line, the longitudinal positioning block 501 can move along the extension direction of the transverse positioning block 500 to meet the size requirements of different models and shapes.

[0055] Of course, screw holes 201 are also provided on the bracket 200. The screw holes 201 are evenly spaced from top to bottom along the height direction of the bracket 200 itself, so as to cooperate with the fixing block 301, the limiting block 400 and the transverse positioning block 500 to adjust the distance between the three by bolting them into different screw holes 201, so as to achieve the effect of being suitable for different models and different shape and size requirements.

[0056] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
