Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts fixture technology, specifically to an adjustable fixture for automotive parts production. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are numerous types of automotive parts, and some parts vary in shape. With the development of intelligent manufacturing, many automotive production workshops have introduced intelligent robotic arms to replace manual assembly during vehicle assembly. Robotic arms typically assemble parts by grasping them from the transport line. However, because many automotive parts have different shapes, their stable positions after transport on the conveyor belt also vary. This requires the robotic arm to make adjustments each time it grasps a part, which delays its grasping time and reduces the efficiency of vehicle assembly. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the different shapes of many automotive parts result in different stable positions when transported on the conveyor belt of a belt conveyor, requiring the robot arm to make adjustments each time it grasps a part. This invention provides an adjustable clamp for automotive parts production.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model specifically adopts the following technical solution:
[0005] An adjustable fixture for producing automotive parts includes a hot melt plate, one side of which is fixedly mounted on a conveyor belt, and a support base plate is fixedly mounted on one side of the hot melt plate. A loading box is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the support base plate, and multiple retrieval openings are provided on the inner side wall of the loading box. A semi-model plate for limiting the workpiece is provided inside the loading box, and a clamping mechanism is provided inside the loading box at the retrieval openings.
[0006] Preferably, both the loading box and the half-model plate have positioning screw holes on their side walls, and positioning bolts are screwed into the positioning screw holes.
[0007] Preferably, the clamping mechanism includes multiple support plates, which are respectively disposed in multiple retrieval openings, and spring hinges are fixedly installed on the side walls of the support plates, with a clamping rod fixedly installed at one end of each spring hinge.
[0008] Preferably, guide grooves are provided on the bottom end faces of the two retrieval openings, and guide sliders are symmetrically slidably installed in the guide grooves. One side of the guide slider is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate.
[0009] Preferably, the guide groove is T-shaped, the guide slider is T-shaped, and the guide slider is matched with the guide groove.
[0010] Preferably, the side wall of the loading box is provided with multiple adjusting screw holes, and adjusting screws are screwed into the adjusting screw holes. One end of the adjusting screw is rotatably mounted on the side wall of the support plate, and the multiple adjusting screws are configured to correspond one-to-one with the multiple support plates.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. In this utility model, by using components such as a loading box, a half-model plate, and a clamping rod, when transporting automotive parts, the half-model plate, which partially matches the part, is inserted into the loading box and then fixed using positioning bolts. The part is then placed onto the half-model plate in the loading box, and the workpiece is fixed by spring hinges and clamping rods. This allows for clamping and fixing of parts transported on the belt conveyor, ensuring that the transported parts are always in the same position. Furthermore, by replacing the half-model plate, more automotive parts can be accommodated, facilitating gripping by the intelligent robotic arm. This reduces the time spent by the intelligent robotic arm adjusting the gripping position, thereby improving the efficiency of automotive parts assembly. Attached Figure Description

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, an adjustable fixture for automotive parts production includes a hot melt plate 1. One side of the hot melt plate 1 is fixedly mounted on a conveyor belt, and a support base plate 2 is fixedly mounted on the same side. The hot melt plate 1 provides stability to the support base plate 2 on the conveyor belt. A loading box 4 is fixedly mounted on the side wall of the support base plate 2. Multiple retrieval openings 6 are provided on the inner side wall of the loading box 4, facilitating the gripping of parts by a robotic arm.
[0022] The loading box 4 contains a semi-model plate 5 for positioning the workpiece. The semi-model plate 5 is specifically designed according to the partial shape of different automotive parts, allowing one semi-model plate 5 to fit a specific type of automotive part. This enables it to conform to the partial shape of the automotive component, thereby positioning it. Both the loading box 4 and the semi-model plate 5 have positioning screw holes 3 on their side walls, and positioning bolts 12 are screwed into these holes. The positioning bolts 12 allow for easy disassembly and replacement of the semi-model plate 5 within the loading box 4, thus accommodating automotive parts of more shapes.
[0023] A clamping mechanism is provided inside the loading box 4 on the retrieval opening 6. The clamping mechanism includes multiple support plates 9, which are respectively set in multiple retrieval openings 6. Guide grooves 7 are opened on the bottom end faces of two retrieval openings 6, and guide sliders 8 are symmetrically slidably installed in the guide grooves 7. One side of the guide slider 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the support plate 9. The guide groove 7 is T-shaped, and the guide slider 8 is T-shaped and matched with the guide groove 7. This structural design makes the movement of the support plate 9 more stable and convenient.
[0024] A spring hinge 10 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the support plate 9. A clamping rod 11 is fixedly installed at one end of the spring hinge 10. The spring hinge 10 and the clamping rod 11 can assist in fixing the car parts, thereby increasing the stability of the car parts during transportation. Multiple adjusting screw holes 13 are provided on the side wall of the loading box 4, and adjusting screw rods 14 are screwed into the adjusting screw holes 13. One end of the adjusting screw rod 14 is rotatably installed on the side wall of the support plate 9. The multiple adjusting screw rods 14 are configured to correspond one-to-one with the multiple support plates 9. The adjusting screw rods 14 drive the support plate 9 to move, which can limit the position of the support plate 9 on the loading box 4, thereby controlling the clamping position of the spring hinge 10 and the clamping rod 11 on the car parts.
[0025] In summary: When transporting automotive parts, the hot-melt plate 1 secures the support base plate 2 to the conveyor belt of the belt conveyor. Then, a half-model plate 5, which partially matches the automotive part to be transported, is inserted into the loading box 4. The positioning bolts 12 secure the half-model plate 5 to the loading box 4. Next, the automotive part is placed onto the half-model plate 5 in the loading box 4. Finally, the adjusting screw 14 is rotated, causing the adjusting screw 14 to drive the support plate 9 to move stably through the adjusting screw hole 13. This allows the support plate 9 to... The guide slide 7 and guide slider 8 are adjusted to select their positions, so that the spring hinge 10 and clamping rod 11 on the support plate 9 can assist in clamping and fixing the workpiece. This can clamp and fix the parts transported on the belt conveyor, so that the transported parts are always in one position. When the intelligent robot arm grabs the workpiece, it can simply open the clamping rod 11. Furthermore, when it is necessary to change the transport of different automotive parts, more automotive parts can be accommodated by changing the half-model plate 5, which makes it easier for the intelligent robot arm to grip them.
[0026] The foregoing description enables those skilled in the art to implement or use this invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, this invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
