[0031] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: an auxiliary tooling for assembling a throttle body cover assembly, including a throttle body assembly device 1 and an electric slide table 5, a cover plate limiting assembly, which is disposed inside the throttle body assembly device 1. The cover plate limiting assembly includes a turntable 13, which is disposed inside the throttle body assembly device 1. A third fixed bracket 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the turntable 13. A third hydraulic rod 15 is fixedly connected inside the third fixed bracket 14. A pressure sensor 16 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third hydraulic rod 15. The end of the pressure sensor 16 away from the third hydraulic rod 15 is fixedly... A rack 17 is fixedly connected, and toothed grooves are provided on both sides of the rack 17. A rotating shaft 18 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the turntable 13. A gear 19 is fixedly connected to the surface of the rotating shaft 18. A connecting rod 20 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating shaft 18. A first clamping plate 21 is hinged to the surface of the connecting rod 20. A second clamping plate 22 is provided on the side of the first clamping plate 21 away from the connecting rod 20. Two springs 23 are fixedly connected to the opposite surface of the second clamping plate 22 and the first clamping plate 21. Two screws 24 are threadedly connected inside the first clamping plate 21. A limit plate 25 is fixedly connected to the end of the two screws 24 away from the connecting rod 20.

[0032] The cover plate limiting assembly also includes a first fixed bracket 4, which is fixedly connected to the inner right side wall of the throttle assembly equipment 1. A second hydraulic rod 10 is fixedly connected inside the first fixed bracket 4. A fixed frame 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second hydraulic rod 10. A first drive motor 12 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixed frame 11. A turntable 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first drive motor 12. The turntable 13 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 11.

[0033] The number of rotating shaft 18, gear 19, connecting rod 20, first clamping plate 21, second clamping plate 22, spring 23, screw 24, and limiting plate 25 are all arranged in two sets symmetrically on the turntable 13. The two gears 19 respectively mesh with the corresponding tooth grooves on the surface of the rack 17.

[0034] The lower end of the first fixed bracket 4 is conveniently connected to a side plate.

[0035] The electric slide table 5 is fixedly installed inside the throttle assembly equipment 1. The electric slide table 5 includes a slide table frame, a drive motor, a threaded rod, and a slide table. The output end of the drive motor is fixed to the threaded rod. The threaded rod is rotatably connected to the slide table frame. The slide table is threaded onto the threaded rod. The slide table is slidably connected to the inner wall of the slide table frame.

[0036] A controller 2 is fixedly installed inside the throttle assembly equipment 1, and a control panel 3 is fixedly installed at the front end of the throttle assembly equipment 1.

[0037] The throttle assembly equipment 1 has a second fixed bracket 7 internally fixedly connected to it, and a first hydraulic rod 8 internally fixedly connected to it. The output end of the first hydraulic rod 8 is fixedly connected to a push plate 9.

[0038] When using this device, the tooling works in concert with multiple components to automatically limit, clamp and transport the throttle body cover, which can accurately adapt to cover plates of different specifications, improving assembly efficiency and precision.

[0039] The second hydraulic rod 10 is installed inside the first fixed bracket 4. Its output end drives the fixed bracket 11 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height of the turntable 13 so that the limiting component is aligned with the cover plate. The first drive motor 12 drives the turntable 13 to rotate, which can drive the limiting component to rotate to different angles to meet the assembly requirements of the cover plate.

[0040] The third hydraulic rod 15 pushes the pressure sensor 16 and rack 17 forward. The tooth grooves on both sides of the rack mesh with the gear 19, driving the rotating shaft 18 to rotate. The rotating shaft 18 drives the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22 to open and close synchronously through the connecting rod 20, clamping both sides of the cover plate. The spring 23 provides buffering during the clamping process to avoid excessive clamping force from damaging the cover plate, while ensuring stable clamping.

[0041] The pressure sensor 16 monitors the clamping force in real time. When the pressure reaches the preset value, it sends a signal to the controller 2 to stop the drive of the third hydraulic rod 15 and prevent overpressure. For cover plates of different specifications, the screw 24 can be rotated to adjust the position of the limit plate 25 so that it is in close contact with the side of the cover plate, realizing adaptive limit without the need to replace the tooling module.

[0042] The first drive motor 12 drives the turntable 13 to rotate, adjusting the clamped cover plate to a suitable angle, and cooperating with the throttle assembly equipment 1 to complete the assembly operation; the drive motor of the electric slide table 5 drives the threaded rod to rotate, causing the slide table to slide along the slide table frame to the bottom of the cover plate, receiving the assembled cover plate; the turntable 13 rotates and moves in coordination with the slide table, conveying the cover plate to the push plate 9 position.

[0043] The first hydraulic rod 8 actuates again, pushing the push plate 9 to push the cover plate onto the cover plate conveyor belt 6, which then sends the cover plate out of the equipment, completing the entire assembly process.

[0044] The controller 2 is integrated into the throttle assembly equipment 1 to coordinate the actions of various hydraulic rods, motors and sensors to achieve automated control; the control panel 3 is located at the front of the equipment, and the operator can set parameters (such as clamping pressure, turntable speed, etc.) through the panel to monitor the equipment's operating status.

[0045] Furthermore, the rotation of the two connecting rods 20 facilitates the clamping and fixing of the cover plate. At the same time, the threaded connection between the screw 24 and the limiting plate 25 allows for manual adjustment of the limiting position according to the cover plate specifications. Combined with the buffering effect of the spring 23, it achieves a dual adaptation of "mechanical adjustment + elastic clamping", solving the pain point of traditional tooling requiring the replacement of the entire module and improving the equipment's versatility and production efficiency.

[0046] The meshing transmission between rack 17 and gear 19 converts linear motion into rotational motion, precisely controlling the opening and closing of the clamping plate; pressure sensor 16 and controller 2 form a closed-loop feedback system, adjusting the clamping force in real time to ensure that the cover plate is stably fixed without damage, thus guaranteeing assembly accuracy.

[0047] The rotation of turntable 13, the linear motion of slide table, and the lateral pushing of push plate 9 work together to form a multi-axis linkage transfer path, realizing the automated transfer of cover plate from assembly position to conveyor line, reducing manual intervention and improving the consistency of production cycle.
