Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling and fixture technology, specifically a tooling and fixture for assembling the frame of an electric tricycle. Background Technology
[0002] During the assembly of an electric tricycle frame, tooling fixtures are typically used to position and fix the various components of the frame to ensure welding accuracy and assembly efficiency. However, existing tooling fixtures still have many shortcomings: the positioning structure of traditional fixtures is mostly a fixed design, which is difficult to adjust flexibly to adapt to changes in different vehicle models or frame sizes, resulting in poor versatility; during the fixing of key parts such as the roof frame, front, and rear, existing clamps are not tight enough, causing frame displacement and affecting welding quality. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a tooling fixture for assembling the frame of an electric tricycle, thus solving the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a tooling fixture for assembling the frame of an electric tricycle, comprising a tooling fixture base, tooling beams on both sides of the top of the tooling fixture base, a hoisting and fixing mechanism between the tops of the tooling beams, a support mechanism at the bottom of each tooling beam, a vehicle head lifting mechanism at one end of the tooling fixture base, and a vehicle tail clamping mechanism at the other end of the tooling fixture base.
[0005] Preferably, the hoisting and fixing mechanism includes a plurality of first movable seats that are movably connected to the top of the tooling beam, wherein the top of a group of first movable seats is movably connected to a downward limiting post by a movable pin, and a roof frame positioning clip is installed at the bottom of each downward limiting post.
[0006] Preferably, the support mechanism includes transverse movable seats installed on the top and middle sides of the tooling beam frame. Each transverse movable seat is movably connected to a Z-shaped frame at its top. A transverse sheet metal seat is installed on one side of the top of the Z-shaped frame. Two sheet metal limiting posts are provided at the bottom of the tooling beam frame. A positioning element is provided at the top of each sheet metal limiting post.
[0007] Preferably, the front lifting mechanism includes support columns installed on both sides of the top of the tooling fixture base. The top of the support columns is provided with a front frame fixing bracket. A front positioning frame is fixedly connected to the top of one end of the tooling fixture base. Positioning pins are installed on both sides of the top of the front positioning frame. Handle positioning seats are provided on both sides of the middle part of the front positioning frame.
[0008] Preferably, the tail clamping mechanism includes a plurality of support clamping seats fixedly connected to the top of the other end of the tooling fixture base, a small Z-shaped frame movably connected to the top of the support clamping seats, and a clamping pin head installed on one side of the top of the small Z-shaped frame.
[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0010] This utility model provides a tooling fixture for assembling the frame of an electric tricycle:
[0011] 1. When welding the electric vehicle frame, in order to fix and position the frame for welding and facilitate welding, the lower limit post is adjusted by the movable pin on the first movable seat. This allows the lower limit post to be fixed and engaged with the roof frame positioning clip, preventing movement during welding. The Z-shaped brackets on several transverse movable seats are adjusted to fit the side frame of the electric vehicle. Then, the transverse sheet metal seats are used to fix and engage the side frame of the electric vehicle. The bottom of the electric vehicle is positioned and fixed by the positioning piece at the top of the sheet metal limit post. This allows for flexible adjustment to adapt to different vehicle models or frame size changes, and is used for fixing the frame during welding.
[0012] 2. During the welding and assembly of the frame and handlebars, the handlebars are evenly and balancedly supported and positioned by the front frame fixing brackets at the top of the two support columns. The handlebars are engaged and positioned by the two positioning pins at the top of the front positioning bracket. When clamping the rear frame, several clamping pins are used to clamp the rear frame. The adjusting clamping pins on the small Z-shaped frame are adjusted according to the specific shape of the rear to ensure a close fit and clamping of the frame. This process allows for the assembly and welding of the frame, preventing displacement of key components such as the roof frame, front, and rear during the fixing process and improving welding quality.
