[0044] Reference Figures 1-7 This is an embodiment of the water pump pre-assembly fixture 400 of this utility model, which aims to solve the problems of screws being difficult to tighten completely and low installation efficiency when fixing the air conditioner water pump 100 and the water pump bracket 200.

[0045] like Figure 1 The diagram shown is a structural schematic of the water pump bracket 200; Figure 2 and Figure 3 The diagram shows the structure of the water pump pre-assembly fixture 400 of this utility model.

[0046] The water pump pre-assembly fixture 400 is used for the pre-assembly of the water pump 100 and the water pump bracket 200, and includes an operating table 410 and at least one set of positioning structures disposed on the operating table 410.

[0047] The control panel 410 serves as the basic support platform for pre-installed operations.

[0048] The positioning structure includes multiple positioning posts 420, multiple clearance holes 430, and a protruding structure 440.

[0049] The positioning post 420 is fixedly installed on the operating table 410 and is used to cooperate with the mounting hole 220 of the water pump bracket 200 to achieve preliminary and reliable positioning of the water pump bracket 200 on the operating table 410. The mounting hole 220 on the water pump bracket 200 can be a round hole or a notch with a partial round hole located on the edge of the water pump bracket 200, used to fix the water pump bracket 200 to the equipment.

[0050] The clearance hole 430 is positioned on the operating table 410 to correspond to the fixing hole 210 of the water pump bracket to be pre-installed and the fixing hole 110 of the water pump to be installed later. It is used to provide operating space for the installation and tightening of the fixing screw 300 during the pre-installation process, so as to avoid interference between the screw and the operating table 410.

[0051] The protruding structure 440 has a positioning surface 443 formed on at least one side. The positioning surface 443 is configured to contact and position with the side wall of the water pump 100, thereby achieving precise positioning of the water pump 100 in the horizontal direction and ensuring that the fixing hole 210 of the water pump bracket and the fixing hole 110 of the water pump can be accurately aligned.

[0052] See Figure 4 During pre-assembly, the mounting holes 220 on the water pump bracket 200 are first aligned and placed on the corresponding positioning posts 420 on the operating table 410. Through the cooperation of the positioning posts 420 and the mounting holes 220, the water pump bracket 200 is initially fixed. Furthermore, the fixing holes on the water pump bracket 200 are aligned with the clearance holes 430 on the operating table 410.

[0053] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 Then, the water pump 100 to be installed is placed in the corresponding area preset on the operating table 410. The outer contour of the water pump 100 fits into the positioning surface 443 of the protruding structure 440. Under the constraint of the positioning surface 443, the position of the water pump 100 in the horizontal direction is limited, so that the fixing hole 110 of the water pump can be aligned with the mounting hole 220 of the water pump bracket 200.

[0054] After completing the above positioning, the operator can easily screw in the fixing screws 300 through the clearance hole 430 to reliably install and fix the water pump 100 and the water pump bracket 200 together. After fixing, the pre-assembled water pump 100 and water pump bracket 200 can be removed from the tooling as a whole for the subsequent air conditioning assembly process.

[0055] The aforementioned water pump pre-assembly fixture 400 can pre-assemble the water pump 100 and the water pump bracket 200 together. By setting the clearance hole 430, interference between the fixing screw 300 and the operating table 410 during the tightening process is effectively avoided, ensuring that the screw can be fully tightened in place, thus improving the reliability and safety of the connection. Through the cooperation of the positioning column 420 and the protruding structure 440, the fixing holes 210 of the water pump 100 and the water pump bracket can be accurately aligned in advance, saving workers' hole alignment time during subsequent installation and improving production efficiency.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the protruding structure 440 has a side plate portion 441 connected to the operating table 410 and a top plate portion 442 connected to the top of the side plate portion 441. The side of the top plate portion 442 forms a positioning surface 443 for fitting against the side wall surface of the water pump 100. A certain height gap is reserved between the bottom of the top plate portion 442 and the table surface of the operating table 410 to avoid the outer edge of the water pump bracket 200 placed on the operating table 410, thereby ensuring that the water pump bracket 200 can be placed stably, avoiding interference with the protruding structure 440, and ensuring the smooth progress of the pre-assembly process.

[0057] Furthermore, a hollow area 444 is provided on the top plate 442. The hollow area 444 not only serves as an observation window to facilitate checking whether the water pump bracket 200 is placed in the correct position, but also effectively reduces the overall weight of the protruding structure 440, making it easier to handle and operate the tooling.

[0058] In some embodiments of this application, the top plate portion 442 has a fan-shaped cross-section, and the inner arc surface of the top plate portion 442 forms a positioning surface 443, which is adapted to the arc-shaped sidewall of the water pump 100. The side plate portion 441 extends downward along the outer arc edge of the top plate portion 442 and connects to the operating table 410. The protruding structure 440 is a fan-shaped structure, which can significantly improve the overall strength and rigidity of the structure, ensuring that no deformation occurs during the positioning process of the water pump 100, thereby ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the positioning.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 3 As shown, the positioning post 420 and the clearance hole 430 are both located outside the vertical projection range of the protruding structure 440 on the operating table 410. This layout effectively expands the operating space, making it more convenient for operators to place and fix the water pump 100 and the water pump bracket 200, avoiding interference with the protruding structure 440, and improving the convenience and efficiency of operation.

[0060] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 5 and Figure 7As shown, at least one lug 120 is provided on the side wall of the water pump 100. Correspondingly, the positioning surface 443 of the positioning protrusion is provided with a groove 4431 that matches the shape and position of the lug 120. Through the fitting of the lug 120 and the groove 4431, the axial rotation of the water pump 100 in the water surface can be effectively restricted, ensuring that the water pump 100 maintains the correct position during pre-assembly and preventing movement when the fixing screw 300 is tightened.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, the top of the positioning post 420 is provided with a guide ramp 421. The guide ramp 421 can guide the mounting hole 220 on the water pump bracket 200 to slide more smoothly into the positioning post 420. Even if there is a slight deviation in the initial alignment, the guide effect of the ramp can achieve quick and accurate positioning, thereby improving the convenience and efficiency of placing the water pump bracket 200.

[0062] In some embodiments of this application, two positioning posts 420 are provided, and each positioning post 420 is located adjacent to a corresponding clearance hole 430. The clearance hole 430 is located adjacent to the positioning post 420, which can effectively reduce the positional deviation between the fixing hole of the water pump bracket 200 and the clearance hole 430 on the operating table 410 after the water pump bracket 200 is initially positioned by the positioning post 420, thereby significantly improving the alignment accuracy of the two.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, the depth of the clearance hole 430 is greater than the protruding height of the fixed screw 300 after it is tightened, which can fully accommodate the tightened fixed screw 300 and ensure that the screw will not interfere with the surface of the operating table 410. This ensures that the screw can be fully tightened into place, thereby achieving reliable fixation between the water pump 100 and the water pump bracket 200.

[0064] The control panel 410 is equipped with two positioning structures, which are arranged in a mirror symmetrical manner. This allows for pre-installation to be performed by two people on opposite sides of the control panel 410, such as on the left and right.

[0065] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions claimed by this utility model.
