Description

A rubber kit for automotive chassis components with tooling Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of assembly tooling for automotive parts, and in particular to a rubber kit assembly tooling for automotive chassis parts. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous development of the automotive industry, the assembly process of automotive chassis components is gradually moving towards higher efficiency and automation. In the assembly of chassis parts, the installation of rubber bushings is a crucial step, its main function being to provide shock absorption and ensure the stability and reliability of the components.

[0003] However, the industry currently predominantly uses manual assembly of rubber sleeves. This method has the following problems: manual assembly requires workers to operate each sleeve individually, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, making it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale production. Manual assembly is highly dependent on worker skills and experience, making it prone to inconsistent assembly quality due to human factors, affecting the final performance of the product. Furthermore, with increasing competition in the automotive market, customers' demands for assembly efficiency and product quality are constantly rising, and traditional manual assembly methods can no longer meet the needs of modern automobile manufacturing.

[0004] In summary, existing technologies for rubber assembly suffer from low efficiency and unstable quality, necessitating a solution that can significantly improve assembly efficiency, reduce labor costs, and adapt to complex assembly requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this application is to provide a tooling for rubber kits of automotive chassis components, designing a power component-assisted assembly to improve the efficiency of assembling rubber kits.

[0006] The technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a rubber kit for automotive chassis components, comprising a base plate, on which a product support seat, a movable block, and a power component are sequentially arranged. The movable block is connected to the power component, and the power component drives the movable block to move closer to or away from the product support seat. The product support seat is provided with an installation reference surface, and a stop block is provided on the side of the installation reference surface away from the movable block. A first groove is opened in the middle of the stop block, and the first groove penetrates one side of the stop block. The movable block includes an action part, which is arranged opposite to the stop block. A second groove is opened in the middle of the action part, and the second groove penetrates one side of the action part. The rubber kit is placed on the installation reference surface, and chassis components are inserted through the first groove and the second groove.

[0007] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this application are as follows: First, by using a power component to drive the movable block to apply force to the rubber sleeve, the step of manually squeezing the rubber sleeve is reduced, the assembly process is simplified, and automated assembly of the rubber sleeve is achieved, significantly improving assembly efficiency and solving the problem of low efficiency in manual assembly. Second, the combined design of the mounting reference surface and the stop block provides stable positioning and support for the rubber sleeve, reducing assembly errors caused by human factors during manual operation and improving the stability of assembly quality. Third, the slot design on the stop block and the movable block allows chassis components to be inserted through the C-port, adapting to the special structure of chassis components, and providing a universal assembly interface for different types of chassis components, enhancing the adaptability of the tooling.

[0008] In this application, during assembly, the rubber sleeve is placed on the mounting reference surface, and then the driving power component operates. The power component drives the movable block closer to the product support base. The action part of the movable block, in conjunction with the stop block, applies force to the rubber sleeve, causing the rubber sleeve to deform and flatten. At this point, the chassis components are inserted through the first slot and the second slot to complete the assembly. It should be noted that the rubber sleeve assembly in this application is mainly for installing rubber sleeves at the C-ports opened on chassis components.

[0009] In some embodiments of this application, the side of the stop block closest to the mounting reference surface is a concave arc-shaped surface. This concave arc-shaped surface limits the positioning of the rubber sleeve, with the rubber sleeve partially embedded within it, ensuring that the rubber sleeve does not shift during assembly and improving assembly stability and precision.

[0010] In some embodiments of this application, the actuating part is formed by a movable block extending towards the side where the stop block is located. A forward stroke nut is also provided on the side of the movable block near the stop block, and the forward stroke nut is located below the actuating part. The design of the forward stroke nut serves to limit the extreme position of the movable block's movement, thereby preventing excessive movement of the movable block from damaging the rubber sleeve.

[0011] In some embodiments of this application, when the forward stroke nut contacts the product support, the movable block moves to its limit position. The forward stroke nut is threadedly connected to the movable block, and the actuating part is located on the mounting reference surface. By rotating the forward stroke nut through the threaded connection, its extension length beyond the movable block can be adjusted, thereby precisely controlling the ejection limit position of the movable block and improving assembly accuracy and adjustability.

[0012] In some embodiments of this application, a base is provided on the base plate, and a groove is formed on the top surface of the base. The groove extends through both sides of the base along the output shaft direction of the power component. An insert block adapted to the groove is provided at the bottom of the movable block, and the movable block is movably mounted on the base through the insert block. The design of the groove ensures that the movable block remains stable during movement, avoiding shaking, thereby improving the reliability and consistency of the assembly.

[0013] In some embodiments of this application, the longitudinal section of the base is an inverted T-shaped structure, and the bottom of the longitudinal section of the slide groove is also T-shaped. The T-shaped structure design enhances the connection stability between the base and the base plate, while the T-shaped bottom of the slide groove restricts the swaying of the movable block, ensuring the linearity and stability of the movable block's movement.

[0014] In some embodiments of this application, a support plate is provided on the base plate, and the power component, which is a cylinder, is mounted on the base plate via the support plate. The cylinder, as the power component, provides stable thrust, ensuring that the movable block can reliably apply force to the rubber sleeve. At the same time, the use of a cylinder simplifies the structure and reduces maintenance costs.

[0015] In some embodiments of this application, the support plate is an L-shaped plate structure, comprising a horizontal plate and a vertical plate arranged perpendicularly to each other. The horizontal plate is fixed to the base plate, and the power component is mounted on the vertical plate. The L-shaped support plate enhances the installation stability of the power component, ensuring that the power component will not shift or shake during operation, thus improving the reliability of the assembly.

[0016] In some embodiments of this application, the output rod of the power component passes through a vertical plate and is connected to a movable block via a connecting block, the connecting block being fixed to the end of the movable block furthest from the stop block. The design of the connecting block ensures a secure connection between the output rod of the power component and the movable block, while also facilitating disassembly and maintenance, thus improving the operability of the tooling.

[0017] In some embodiments of this application, the end of the connecting block connected to the power component is provided with two rear stroke nuts. The two rear stroke nuts are located on both sides of the output rod of the power component, and the rear stroke nuts are threadedly connected to the power component. The design of the rear stroke nuts limits the range of movement of the movable block, preventing excessive movement of the movable block, thereby protecting the cylinder and extending the service life of the tooling.

[0018] Based on common knowledge in the field, the above-described embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. Attached Figure Description

[0025] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0027] A tooling for a rubber sleeve 10 for automotive chassis components, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 in Embodiment 1, includes a base plate 1, on which a product support 2, a movable block 3, and a power component 4 are sequentially arranged. The movable block 3 is connected to the power component 4. The power component 4 drives the movable block 3 to move closer to or away from the product support 2. By driving the movable block 3 to apply force to the rubber sleeve 10 through the power component 4, the steps of manually squeezing the rubber sleeve 10 are reduced, the assembly process is simplified, and the automated assembly of the rubber sleeve 10 is realized, significantly improving the assembly efficiency and solving the problem of low efficiency in manual assembly.

[0028] The product support base 2 is provided with an installation reference surface 5. A stop block 6 is provided on the side of the installation reference surface 5 away from the movable block 3. The combined design of the installation reference surface 5 and the stop block 6 provides stable positioning and support for the rubber sleeve 10, reduces assembly errors caused by human factors during manual operation, and improves the stability of assembly quality.

[0029] The stop block 6 has a first slot 7 in its middle, which penetrates one side of the stop block 6. The movable block 3 includes an action part 8, which is opposite to the stop block 6. The action part 8 has a second slot 9 in its middle, which penetrates one side of the action part 8. The rubber sleeve 10 is placed on the mounting reference surface 5. The chassis component 11 is inserted through the first slot 7 and the second slot 9. The slot design on the stop block 6 and the movable block 3 allows the chassis component 11 to be inserted through the C-port, adapting to the special structure of the chassis component 11. At the same time, it provides a universal assembly interface for different types of chassis components 11, enhancing the adaptability of the tooling.

[0030] In this application, during assembly, the rubber sleeve 10 is placed on the mounting reference surface 5, and then the driving power component 4 is activated. The power component 4 drives the movable block 3 to move closer to the product support base 2. The actuating part 8 of the movable block 3, in conjunction with the stop block 6, applies force to the rubber sleeve 10, causing the rubber sleeve 10 to deform and flatten. At this point, the chassis component 11 is inserted through the first slot 7 and the second slot 9 to complete the assembly. It should be noted that the rubber sleeve 10 assembly in this application mainly targets the installation of the rubber sleeve 10 at the C-shaped opening of the chassis component 11.

[0031] In Embodiment 2, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, the side of the stop block 6 closest to the mounting reference surface 5 is a concave arc-shaped surface. This concave arc-shaped surface limits the positioning of the rubber sleeve 10, with the rubber sleeve 10 partially embedded within it. This ensures that the rubber sleeve 10 will not shift during assembly, improving the stability and accuracy of the assembly.

[0032] The actuating part 8 is formed by the movable block 3 extending towards the side where the stop block 6 is located. A forward stroke nut 12 is also provided on the side of the movable block 3 near the stop block 6, and the forward stroke nut 12 is located below the actuating part 8. The design of the forward stroke nut 12 serves to limit the movement limit position of the movable block 3, thereby preventing excessive movement of the movable block 3 from damaging the rubber sleeve 10.

[0033] When the forward stroke nut 12 contacts the product support 2, the movable block 3 moves to its limit position. The forward stroke nut 12 is threadedly connected to the movable block 3, and the actuating part 8 is located on the mounting reference surface 5. By rotating the forward stroke nut 12 through the threaded connection, its extension length beyond the movable block 3 can be adjusted, thereby precisely controlling the ejection limit position of the movable block 3 and improving the assembly accuracy and adjustability.

[0034] The rest of the contents of Example 2 are the same as those of Example 1.

[0035] In embodiment three, as shown in Figures 1 to 4, a base 13 is provided on the base plate 1. A sliding groove 14 is formed on the top surface of the base 13, and the sliding groove 14 extends through both sides of the base 13 along the output shaft direction of the power component 4. An insert block 15 adapted to the sliding groove 14 is provided at the bottom of the movable block 3, and the movable block 3 is movably mounted on the base 13 through the insert block 15. The design of the sliding groove 14 ensures that the movable block 3 remains stable during movement, avoiding shaking, thereby improving the reliability and consistency of the assembly.

[0036] The longitudinal section of the base 13 is an inverted T-shaped structure, and the bottom of the longitudinal section of the slide 14 is also T-shaped. The T-shaped structure design enhances the connection stability between the base 13 and the base plate 1, while the T-shaped bottom of the slide 14 restricts the swaying of the movable block 3, ensuring the linearity and stability of the movement of the movable block 3.

[0037] A support plate 16 is provided on the base plate 1, and the power component 4 is mounted on the base plate 1 via the support plate 16. The power component 4 is a cylinder. The cylinder, as the power component 4, provides stable thrust, ensuring that the movable block 3 can reliably apply force to the rubber sleeve 10. At the same time, the use of the cylinder simplifies the structure and reduces maintenance costs.

[0038] The support plate 16 is an L-shaped plate structure, comprising a horizontal plate and a vertical plate arranged perpendicularly to each other. The horizontal plate is fixed to the base plate 1, and the power component 4 is mounted on the vertical plate. The L-shaped support plate 16 enhances the installation stability of the power component 4, ensuring that the power component 4 will not shift or shake during operation, thus improving the reliability of the assembly.

[0039] The output rod of the power component 4 passes through the vertical plate and is connected to the movable block 3 via a connecting block 18. The connecting block 18 is fixed at the end of the movable block 3 away from the stop block 6. The design of the connecting block 18 ensures a firm connection between the output rod of the power component 4 and the movable block 3, while also facilitating disassembly and maintenance, thus improving the operability of the tooling.

[0040] Two rear stroke nuts 19 are provided at the end of the connecting block 18 that is connected to the power component 4. The two rear stroke nuts 19 are located on both sides of the output rod of the power component 4, and are threadedly connected to the power component 4. The design of the rear stroke nuts 19 limits the range of movement of the movable block 3, preventing the movable block 3 from moving excessively, thereby protecting the cylinder and extending the service life of the tooling.

[0041] The other contents of Example 3 are the same as those of Example 1 or Example 2.

[0042] The present application has been described in detail above. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are only for the purpose of helping to understand the present application and its core ideas. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several improvements and modifications to the present application without departing from the principles of the present application, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of the claims of the present application.
