Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model application belongs to the field of automotive parts assembly tooling technology, specifically relating to a rotatable assembly tooling. Background Technology

[0002] In the automobile production process, a large number of equipment and parts need to be assembled. When assembling some complex equipment or components, such as radiators, heat exchangers, and condensers, operators need to perform assembly and operation at different workstations. Current assembly fixtures are relatively fixed in position and not easily movable. Operators usually have to repeatedly move back and forth between workstations to complete the assembly, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Alternatively, two or more workers may be assigned to work together to complete the assembly, which increases labor costs. Furthermore, when assembling extremely complex equipment, it occupies a considerable amount of workspace, hindering the full utilization of the production workshop.

[0003] Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a new type of assembly tooling to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, so that in the process of automotive parts production, while ensuring product quality, the technical effects of reducing the difficulty of assembly operations for operators and reducing the labor intensity of workers can be achieved. This will realize the goals of saving time and effort, improving production efficiency, and reducing labor costs, and ultimately improve the economic benefits of enterprises and promote economic development.

[0041] The specific embodiments of this utility model application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this disclosure.

[0042] In the technical solutions disclosed in this utility model application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" generally refer to those defined based on the drawing direction of the corresponding figures, while "inner" and "outer" refer to those inside and outside relative to the outline of the component or structure itself. Furthermore, it should be noted that terms such as "first" and "second" are used to distinguish one element from another and do not have sequential or importance implications. Additionally, in the description with reference to the figures, the same reference numerals in different figures denote the same element.

[0043] According to this utility model application, a rotatable assembly fixture is disclosed, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes: an upper support plate 1, which is rotatably mounted on a base plate 4 for placing products to be assembled;

[0044] The rotating component 3 is disposed between the base plate 4 and the upper support plate 1, and is used to enable the upper support plate 1 to rotate horizontally on the base plate 4.

[0045] The limiting component 2 is located on the side of the rotating component 3 and is used to control the horizontal rotation of the upper support plate 1.

[0046] In the above technical solution, a rotating assembly 3 is installed between the base plate 4 and the upper support plate 1 above it. The rotating assembly 3 is installed at the bottom end of the upper support plate 1 and the upper surface of the base plate 4, allowing the upper support plate 1 to be rotatably mounted on the base plate 4. The automotive parts or equipment to be assembled are then placed on the upper support plate 1 for assembly. After the operator has assembled the near end of the product closest to them, the upper support plate 1 is rotated 180 degrees to move the unassembled far end of the product closer to them, allowing for continued operation. The movement limiting assembly 2 serves to limit the movement of the upper support plate 1 during assembly, preventing horizontal rotation of the upper support plate 1 and affecting product assembly.

[0047] This design solves the problem that operators usually have to rely on repeated back-and-forth movements, changing workstations, or adding manpower to complete assembly, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. In the automotive parts production process, while ensuring product quality, it not only reduces the labor intensity and assembly difficulty for workers, but also saves time and effort, increases production efficiency, and reduces labor costs, ultimately improving enterprise economic benefits and promoting economic development. Furthermore, the tooling has a simple structure, stable performance, and is easy to produce and operate. Regarding the specific types of products to be assembled in this design, they can be automotive parts or machinery and equipment used in automobiles, such as radiators, heat exchangers, etc., as long as the product's volume is compatible with the dimensions of the upper pallet 1. This application does not impose specific limitations here.

[0048] In this embodiment, such as Figures 1 to 9 As shown, the motion limiting component 2 includes:

[0049] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 As shown, the connecting block 201 is set on the base plate 4 on the side of the rotating component 3; the connecting block 201 has a rectangular structure, and a first insertion hole 201a and a second insertion hole 201c for insertion are made on the symmetrical end face, and irregular through holes 201b are respectively made on the other symmetrical end face.

[0050] Combination Figure 1 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the insertion rod 204 has one end passing through the first insertion hole 201a and the second insertion hole 201c in sequence, and can be retractably inserted into the rotating assembly 3;

[0051] Combination Figure 2 , Figure 6 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Figure 9 The limiting rod 202 is vertically inserted into the insertion rod 204, and the two ends of the limiting rod 202 are respectively located in two irregular through holes 201b, which are used to adjust the extension and retraction of the insertion rod 204.

[0052] Combination Figure 6 , Figure 8 As shown, the compression spring 203 is fitted onto the insertion rod 204, and the diameter of the compression spring 203 is larger than the diameter of the first insertion hole 201a. One end of the compression spring 203 abuts against the inner wall of the first insertion hole 201a, and the other end abuts against the limiting rod 202.

[0053] [Working Principle]: See the attached diagram in the instruction manual. Figure 6 To be continued Figure 9This is a state diagram of the limiting component 2. In this solution, after placing the product to be assembled in a suitable position on the upper pallet 1, the limiting rod 202 in the connecting block 201 is adjusted. Using the elastic force released by the compression spring 203, the insertion rod 204 extends and inserts into the rotating component 3. At this time, the insertion rod 204 restricts the rotation of the rotating component 3, and the upper pallet 1 connected to the rotating component 3 cannot rotate horizontally. At this time, the product can be assembled. After the near end of the product is assembled, the limiting rod 202 is adjusted to the corresponding position in the irregular through hole 201b. The compression spring 203 is compressed, and the insertion rod 204 retracts and is pulled out from the rotating component 3. At this time, the insertion rod 204 releases its limiting effect on the rotating component 3, and the rotating component 3 and the upper pallet 1 can rotate freely horizontally. The upper pallet 1 is rotated 180 degrees, and the unassembled far end of the product is moved closer to the operating position to continue the operation. It is worth noting that the diameter of the spring coil of the compression spring 203 is larger than the diameter of the first insertion hole 201a, so as to facilitate the application of external force to the compression spring 203 and cause it to deform. Furthermore, as... Figure 3 As shown, the limiting rod 202 is a through threaded rod, and the corresponding position of the insertion rod 204 has a through threaded hole to facilitate the installation of the two.

[0054] Example (1)

[0055] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 As shown, both irregular through holes 201b are horizontal T-shaped structures, symmetrically formed on both sides of the connecting block 201. The vertical end of the horizontal T-shape is relatively far away from the rotating component 3, while the horizontal end is relatively closer to the rotating component 3.

[0056] Specifically:

[0057] ① Figure 6 , Figure 7 This is a diagram showing the state of the upper support plate 1 being restricted by the motion limiting component 2.

[0058] Adjust the limiting rod 202 inside the connecting block 201 so that its two ends are at the horizontal ends of the two horizontal T-shaped holes, release the elastic force of the compression spring 203, and at the same time the elastic force pushes the insertion rod 204 to extend and insert into the rotating assembly 3. Since the limiting rod 202 is subjected to the elastic force of the compression spring 203, the limiting rod 202 is in a horizontal stationary state. At this time, the insertion rod 204 plays a role in restricting the rotation of the rotating assembly 3, so the upper support plate 1 connected to the rotating assembly 3 cannot rotate horizontally.

[0059] ② Figure 8 , Figure 9 This is a state diagram showing the release of the restriction on the upper support plate 1 by the motion limiting component 2.

[0060] Adjust the limiting rod 202 so that both ends are located at the vertical ends of the two horizontal T-shaped holes. (See reference for details.) Figure 9One end of the limiting rod 202 abuts against the upper part of the vertical end of the horizontal T-shaped hole, and the other end of the limiting rod 202 abuts against the lower part of the vertical end of another horizontal T-shaped hole. Due to the elastic force of the compression spring 203, the limiting rod 202 is kept in an inclined state. At this time, the compression spring 203 is compressed, the insertion rod 204 retracts and is pulled out from the rotating assembly 3, thereby releasing the limiting effect on the rotating assembly 3. Then, the upper support plate 1 is rotated 180 degrees, and the unassembled far end of the product is moved to the operating position to continue the operation.

[0061] Example (2)

[0062] like Figure 10 As shown, both irregular through holes 201b are horizontal H-shaped structures, symmetrically formed on both sides of the connecting block 201.

[0063] In this embodiment, the operation of the limiting rod 202 is generally the same as in embodiment (1). However, it should be noted that when the insertion rod 204 is in the limiting position, one end of the limiting rod 202 is adjusted to the upper slot of the vertical end of the H-shaped hole (not shown in the accompanying drawings), and the other end of the limiting rod 202 is adjusted to the lower slot of the vertical end of another H-shaped hole (e.g., ...). Figure 10 As shown, due to the elastic force of the compression spring 203, the limit rod 202 can still be tilted as a whole. This design can make the limiting effect of the limiting component 2 better and more stable.

[0064] Example (3)

[0065] like Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, both irregular through holes 201b are L-shaped structures, centrally symmetrically formed on both sides of the connecting block 201. That is, one side is L-shaped, and the other side is an inverted L-shape. The vertical ends of both the L-shaped and inverted L-shaped holes are relatively far away from the rotating component 3, and the horizontal ends are relatively close to the rotating component 3. In this embodiment, the operation mode of the limiting rod 202 is generally the same as that in embodiment (1), and will not be described again here.

[0066] In some implementations, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotating assembly 3 includes: a bearing sleeve 301, which is mounted on the base plate 4; the bearing sleeve 301 is provided with a bearing 302 and a rotating shaft 303. The bearing 302 is mounted on the base plate 4, and the rotating shaft 303 is mounted on the bearing 302. The upper end face of the rotating shaft 303 is coaxially connected to the upper support plate 1, and both the rotating shaft 303 and the outer edge of the bearing sleeve 301 are provided with limiting holes for the insertion of the insertion rod 204.

[0067] In other implementations, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 13As shown, the upper support plate 1 has several first connecting holes 101 for fixed connection with the rotating shaft 303, and the upper end face of the rotating shaft 303 has corresponding threaded holes that match the first connecting holes 101. Furthermore, the first connecting holes 101 are countersunk holes. This design prevents the bolt heads of the connecting bolts from colliding with the product placed on the upper support plate 1, thus avoiding damage to the product and optimizing the performance of this tooling.

[0068] There are also other implementation methods, such as Figure 2 , Figure 13 , Figure 14 As shown, a second connecting hole 102 for connecting with the rotating shaft 303 and the base plate 4 is provided at the center of the upper support plate 1. Connecting holes matching the second connecting hole 102 are provided at the corresponding positions of the rotating shaft 303 and the base plate 4.

[0069] In some other specific implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 14 As shown, the base plate 4 has a second mounting hole 403 for mounting the connecting block 201; the bottom of the connecting block 201 has a mounting hole that matches the second mounting hole 403.

[0070] In the above embodiments, the base plate 4, upper support plate 1, connecting block 201, insertion rod 204, limiting rod 202, rotating shaft 303, bearing 302 and other components are all designed to be detachable, which avoids the high cost of integral connection and welding, reduces the use cost of the tooling, and facilitates transportation.

[0071] In some other implementations, such as Figure 2 , Figure 14 As shown, the base plate 4 has an annular groove 402 for accommodating and positioning the rotating component 3. The annular groove 402 contains a first mounting hole 401 for mounting the bearing sleeve 301. The bottom of the bearing sleeve 301 has a hole that matches the first mounting hole 401. The annular groove 402 on the base plate 4 for accommodating and positioning the rotating component 3 greatly prevents the tooling from shifting or other accidents during use.

[0073] S1. First, place the automotive parts or equipment to be assembled on the upper pallet 1;

[0074] S2. Adjust the limiting rod 202 so that the insertion rod 204 is inserted into the bearing sleeve 301 and the rotating shaft 303;

[0075] S3. Perform assembly. After the operator has finished assembling the near end of the product, adjust the limit rod 202 to release the movement restriction, rotate the upper pallet 1 180 degrees, and move the unassembled far end of the product to the operating position.

[0076] S4. Adjust the limit rod 202 again so that the insertion rod 204 is inserted into the bearing sleeve 301 and the rotating shaft 303, and continue the operation;

[0077] S5. After the operation is completed, the product is transported out and the next product is assembled.

[0078] The preferred embodiments of this utility model application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the disclosed technical concept, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of this utility model application, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of this application. For example, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the connecting blocks 201 of the limiting component 2 on the side of the rotating component 3 can be changed from two to four.

[0079] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above embodiments can be combined in any suitable manner without contradiction, such as adding a gasket 5 between the base plate 4 and the connecting block 201. To avoid unnecessary repetition, this application will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0080] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model application can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this disclosure, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed in this utility model application.
