[0016] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] Example 1:

[0018] refer to Figure 1-3A positioning fixture for producing high-speed rail seat armrests includes a base plate 1, a first sliding groove 2 on the top of the base plate 1, a positioning mechanism 3 on the top of the base plate 1, an adjustment mechanism 13 inside the base plate 1, a moving plate 4 on the top of the adjustment mechanism 13, a rotating shaft 5 rotatably connected inside the moving plate 4, an installation hole 6 inside the moving plate 4, a spring 7 inside the installation hole 6, a rope 8 inside the rotating shaft 5, one end of the rope 8 being fixedly connected to the spring 7, a groove 9 on the surface of the rotating shaft 5, and a clamping block 11 fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 5.

[0019] Specifically, one end of the spring 7 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting hole 6 inside the moving plate 4, the groove 9 is an annular groove, the rope 8 is a steel wire rope, the moving plate 4 and the pad 301 of the adjustment mechanism 13 are at the same height, which can provide horizontal support for the high-speed rail seat armrest, and the top of the positioning bolt 302 and the clamping block 11 is lower than the plane of the top of the high-speed rail seat armrest, so as not to interfere with the welding operation.

[0020] The device drives the screw 1304 via the handwheel 1306, which in turn drives the slider 1301 and the moving plate 4 to move in tandem. This enables the clamping block 11 to adaptively clamp the high-speed rail seat armrest. The clamping block 11, through the linkage design of the rotating shaft 5 and the rope 8, combined with the elastic adjustment of the spring 7, can automatically adjust the fit according to the inner angle of the armrest, ensuring uniform force during clamping and enhancing the structural stability during welding. The device supports repeated positioning after the high-speed rail seat armrest is flipped, and welding can be completed without changing the fixture, greatly improving production efficiency.

[0021] refer to Figure 3 One end of the rope 8 is fixedly connected to a limiting block 10. By setting the limiting block 10, the function is to limit one end of the rope 8 and prevent the rope 8 from coming out of the inside of the rotating shaft 5. A protective pad 12 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping block 11. The protective pad 12 can protect the product. At the same time, anti-slip texture is opened on one side of the protective pad 12, which also plays an anti-slip role.

[0022] refer to Figure 2 The positioning mechanism 3 includes a pad 301, with a nut 303 fitted inside the pad 301. A positioning bolt 302 is slidably connected inside the first slide groove 2. The bottom of the positioning bolt 302 is threadedly connected to the nut 303. The pad 301 can support the high-speed rail seat armrest, positioning the outer side of the positioning bolt 302 against the inner side of the armrest. When the positioning bolt 302 is loosened, it pulls the positioning bolt 302, causing the nut 303 to slide inside the first slide groove 2. When the positioning bolt 302 is tightened, it causes the nut 303 to move upward on the surface of the positioning bolt 302, increasing the friction between the nut 303 and the first slide groove 2. It can also limit and fix the positioning bolt 302 and the pad 301, thereby effectively facilitating lateral adjustment of the positioning position.

[0023] refer to Figure 2 The adjusting mechanism 13 includes a slider 1301. A second groove 1302 is provided on the top of the base plate 1. The inside of the second groove 1302 is slidably connected to the slider 1301. The top of the slider 1301 is fixedly connected to the moving plate 4. A fixing block 1303 is slidably connected inside the adjusting mechanism 13. A screw 1304 is rotatably connected inside the fixing block 1303. The inside of the slider 1301 is threadedly connected to the screw 1304. A fixing bolt 1305 is fitted on the top of the base plate 1. The bottom of the fixing bolt 1305 is connected to the fixing plate 4. The screw 1304 is fixedly connected to a handwheel 1306 at one end of the screw 1303. The first bearing is fixedly sleeved inside the fixed block 1303. The inside of the first bearing is sleeved with the surface of one end of the screw 1304, so that the screw 1304 and the fixed block 1303 can be rotatedly connected. The second bearing is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the second slide groove 1302. The other end of the screw 1304 is sleeved with the second bearing, so that the other end of the screw 1304 can be supported without affecting the rotation of the screw 1304.

[0024] refer to Figure 2 The base plate 1 has an installation groove 14 on its outer side, and an installation bolt 15 is fitted inside the installation groove 14. The installation bolt 15 facilitates the installation of the device.

[0025] Brief description of usage: The user can install the device on the welding station of the welding robot using mounting bolts 15. Then, place the spot-welded high-speed rail seat armrest on top of the pad 301 and the moving plate 4. Next, turn the handwheel 1306 clockwise to rotate the screw 1304, causing the screw 1304 to slide the slider 1301 inside the second groove 1302. Simultaneously, the slider 1301 moves the moving plate 4 at the bottom of the high-speed rail seat armrest, causing the moving plate 4 to move the clamping block 11 to limit the high-speed rail seat armrest from the inside out. When the clamping block 11 contacts the high-speed rail seat armrest through the protective pad 12, it causes the clamping block 11 to rotate the rotating shaft 5 inside the moving plate 4. Simultaneously, the rotating shaft 5 winds the rope 8, causing... Rope 8 is wound into the groove 9, and at the same time, rope 8 drives spring 7 to stretch, so that clamping block 11 rotates and fits according to the angle of the inner side of the high-speed rail seat armrest. This can effectively facilitate the positioning and clamping of the high-speed rail seat armrest, and also allow the welding robot to fully weld and seal the inner and outer spot welding positions on the top of the high-speed rail seat armrest. After the inner and outer welding of the top of the high-speed rail seat armrest is completed, turning handwheel 1306 counterclockwise will release the limit on the high-speed rail seat armrest. At the same time, spring 7 resets, so that spring 7 drives clamping block 11 to reset and rotate through rope 8 and rotating shaft 5. The user can flip the high-speed rail seat armrest and use this device to reposition and clamp it, and it is also convenient for the welding robot to fully weld and seal the inner and outer spot welding positions on the bottom of the high-speed rail seat armrest.

[0026] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present utility model, they are protected by patent law.
