Specifically, it consists of a mounting base, a rubber bushing, and an outer cover, assembled using a press-fit process. In existing technology, the mounting base and outer cover are typically fixed to designated positions on a tooling fixture. The rubber bushing is then pre-installed on the mounting base or outer cover, and the outer cover is driven towards the mounting base, clamping the rubber bushing between them. While this method allows for mounting assembly, the rubber bushing is prone to detaching from the mounting base or outer cover during implementation, preventing the radiator mounting from completing properly.

[0024] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0025] Example 1
[0026] like Figure 1 — Figure 6 As shown, the press-fit fixture for radiator suspension of this utility model includes a base plate 100, a slider 200, a vertical plate 300, and a positioning component 400.
[0027] In this utility model, the radiator suspension includes a bushing 500, a base 600, and a cover 700. The base 600 and the cover 700 cover the side of the bushing 500. A ring 710 is provided between the top and bottom of one side of the cover 700, and a pair of ears 720 are also provided on this side.
[0028] A slider 200 is provided on the base plate 100, and the slider 200 can move relative to the base plate 100. A vertical plate 300 is provided on the base plate 100. A positioning element 400 is also slidably provided on the base plate 100. The movement trajectory of the positioning element is parallel to the movement trajectory of the slider. The seat is positioned on the vertical plate, the cover is positioned on the slider, and the bushing is positioned on the positioning element. The bushing is located between the seat and the cover. The slider can move the positioning element and the bushing towards the vertical plate so that the seat and the cover cover the side of the bushing. Specifically, when the bushing 500 is installed on the seat 6... When the cover 700 is positioned between the base 600 and the cover 700, the base 600 needs to be positioned and installed on the upright plate 300, the bushing 500 needs to be positioned and installed on the positioning member 400, and the cover 700 needs to be positioned and locked onto the end of the slider 200 facing the upright plate 300. Since the positioning member 400 is located between the upright plate 300 and the slider 200, the bushing 500 is also located between the slider 200 and the upright plate 300. When the slider 200 moves towards the upright plate 300, the slider 200 will move the cover 700 synchronously. And when the cover 700 contacts the bushing 500, because the positioning member 400 and the base plate 100 are slidably connected, ... Therefore, the cover 700 will push the bushing 500 and the positioning element 400 towards the upright plate 300. When the base 600 and the cover 700 simultaneously contact the bushing 500 and the slider 200 continues to move the cover 700 towards the upright plate 300, the distance between the cover 700 and the base 600 will gradually decrease until the cover 700 contacts the base 600. At this point, the cover 700 and the base 600 will cover the side of the bushing 500. During this process, the positioning element 400 will still move relative to the base plate 100 as the bushing 500 moves to ensure that the radiator is suspended during the manufacturing process. The bushing 500 is always positioned between the cover 700 and the base 600, thus preventing misalignment and further improving the success rate of radiator mounting. Then, bolts are passed through the corresponding lugs 720 and connected to the base 600 to install the bushing 500 between the base 600 and the cover 700. Next, the slider 200 is reset, and the positioning element is moved to a suitable position so that there is a certain distance between the positioning element and the upright plate, and between the positioning element and the slider. After this, the assembled radiator mounting can be removed from the positioning element 400.
[0029] The positioning component 400 includes a guide block 410, on which a positioning rod 420 is provided. The base plate 100 is provided with a guide rail 430. The guide block 410 and the guide rail 430 are slidably connected. In use, the positioning rod 420 needs to pass through the bushing 500 and make the bottom surface of the bushing 500 contact the guide block 410 to complete the positioning of the bushing 500. When the cover 700 applies a pushing force to the bushing 500, the positioning rod 420 passes through the bushing 500 and is fixedly connected to the guide block 410. The guide block 410 is slidably connected to the guide rail 430. In this way, the bushing 500 can move directionally along the trajectory of the guide rail 430, thereby realizing the directional movement of the bushing 500 towards the seat 600.
[0030] The base plate 100 is provided with a side rail 110 for guiding the slider 200 to move in an directional manner. The side rail 110 is provided with a groove 111. The slider 200 is slidably connected to the groove 111. Therefore, when the slider 200 moves relative to the base plate 100, the slider 200 will move in an directional manner along the trajectory of the groove 111. Since the groove 111 is parallel to the guide rail 430, the movement direction of the slider 200 will be the same as the movement direction of the guide block 410. This allows the slider 200 to move in an directional manner relative to the base plate 100 with the cover 700 and the bushing 500, thereby ensuring that the cover 700 and the seat 600 can stably clamp the bushing 500.
[0031] The slider 200 has a locking block 210 and a pair of supporting blocks 220 at one end facing the upright plate 300. The two supporting blocks 220 are located on both sides of the locking block 210 and are arranged opposite to each other. The locking block 210 has a locking groove 211 at both the top and bottom. The locking block 210 has a protruding plate 230 on one side facing the upright plate 300, which is located between the two locking grooves 211. Each supporting block 220 has a supporting surface 221. When the cover 700 is placed on the slider 200, the two rings 710 of the cover 700 need to be locked into the corresponding locking grooves 211, and the supporting surfaces 221 of the two supporting blocks 220 need to support the corresponding ears 720. The side of the locking block 210 facing the upright plate 300 is locked between the two rings 710. In this way, the cover 700 can be positioned on the slider 200.
[0032] The surface of the convex plate 230 is provided with a spacer groove 231. When the cover 700 is positioned on the slider 200, the spacer groove 231 is present on the side of the locking block 210 that contacts the cover 700. Since the spacer groove 231 is always connected to the atmosphere, a vacuum environment can be avoided between the cover 700 and the locking block 210, so that people can easily separate the cover 700 from the slider 200.
[0033] The base plate 100 is provided with a cylinder 120 for moving the slider 200. The cylinder 120 is provided with a cylinder rod 121 connected to the slider 200. When the cylinder 120 moves the cylinder rod 121, the cylinder rod 121 will move relative to the base plate 100 because the cylinder rod 121 is connected to the slider 200.
[0034] The upright plate 300 has a first pin 310 and a second pin 330 on the side facing the slider 200. When the seat 600 is placed on the upright plate 300, the first pin 310 needs to pass through the seat 600 and the second pin 330 needs to support the bottom of the seat 600, so that the seat is positioned and installed on the upright plate. This makes the seat 600, bushing 500 and cover 700 on the same straight line, so that the seat 600 and cover 700 can smoothly cover the side of bushing 500.
[0035] A rib 320 is provided between the side of the upright plate 300 facing away from the slider 200 and the base plate 100. The connection strength between the upright plate 300 and the base plate 100 can be effectively improved by the setting of the rib 320.
[0036] Example 2
[0037] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, with the addition of a first socket (not labeled in the figure) and a second socket (not labeled in the figure).
[0038] Specifically, the upright plate 300 is provided with a plurality of first insertion holes for inserting the first pin 310 and a plurality of second insertion holes for inserting the second pin 330. When positioning and installing the base, the appropriate first insertion hole and second insertion hole can be selected according to the size of the base, and one end of the first pin is inserted into the corresponding first insertion hole, and one end of the second pin is inserted into the corresponding second insertion hole, so that the first pin can pass through the base smoothly and the second pin can support the bottom edge of the base smoothly, thereby enabling bases of different sizes to be positioned and installed on the upright plate.
[0039] Example 3
[0040] This embodiment is based on Embodiment 1, with the addition of a spring (not shown in the figure).
[0041] Specifically, a spring is provided between the base plate and the guide block. There are two springs, one end of which is connected to one side of the guide block, and the other end of which is connected to the base plate. When the slider makes a reset movement, the guide block will be subjected to the elastic force of the spring, so that the spring carries the guide block to move automatically away from the vertical plate. When the elastic force of the spring disappears, the guide block will stop between the slider and the vertical plate, and there will be a certain distance between the assembled radiator suspension and the vertical plate, and there will also be a certain distance between the radiator suspension and the slider, so as to facilitate people to remove the radiator suspension from the guide rod.
[0042] Based on the above, the application scenarios for this press-fitting tool can cover the following areas:
[0043] 1. Automotive radiator mounting production line:
[0044] In automotive parts mass production workshops, radiator mounts need to be assembled quickly and precisely.
