Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding tooling technology, specifically a welding positioning fixture for the front floor assembly of new energy vehicles. Background Technology

[0002] The front floor of a new energy vehicle, where it connects to the left and right door sills, is a crucial component of the vehicle's chassis. It primarily supports the engine and front suspension system, providing additional structural strength during a collision. The front floor assembly of a new energy vehicle mainly comprises the front floor sub-assembly, the front crossbeam assembly for the front seats, the rear crossbeam assembly for the front seats, the left door sill side beam assembly, and the right door sill side beam assembly. These assemblies are connected to their constituent parts and the front floor body via welding. The front floor assembly experiences complex stresses, bearing the weight of its own components, the front seats, and the occupants, as well as various torques and forces transmitted from the chassis during vehicle movement. Therefore, strict requirements are placed on the machining precision of the front floor assembly. During welding, the front floor assembly of a new energy vehicle is secured using welding fixtures to ensure that the components do not move or loosen during processing, guaranteeing machining accuracy.

[0003] Currently, when welding the front floor assembly of automobiles, workers typically use clamps to hold and weld the front floor. However, these clamps only hold the front floor panels; when welding other parts to the front floor body, manual support is still required to ensure the stability of the welding process. This is inconvenient, inefficient, and lacks precision. Therefore, designing a stable and reliable clamping fixture for the front floor assembly is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

The third and fifth clamping and positioning devices have the same structure and are symmetrical about the worktable. The second and sixth clamping and positioning devices also have the same structure and are symmetrical about the worktable. The first clamping and positioning device is the same as the fourth clamping and positioning device, except that the positions of the corresponding clamping block assembly and positioning pin assembly are adaptively changed when clamping and positioning different front floor components.

[0039] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the first positioning device includes a base and three unit positioning structures, each with the same composition, including an L-shaped base, a connecting platform, a limiting pin, a limiter, a limiting pin assembly, a limiting block assembly, and a supporting fork block or supporting block assembly. The L-shaped base is connected to the worktable via bolts, and the connecting platform is connected to the L-shaped base via bolts. The connecting platform is bolted with limiting pins or limiters, and limiting blocks or supporting fork blocks of different sizes. Multiple limiting pins or limiters form a limiting pin assembly, and multiple limiting blocks or supporting fork blocks form a limiting block assembly or supporting fork block assembly. The limiting pin assembly of the left-side first unit positioning structure is connected to the crossbeam after the front seat is installed. The front floor under-rear reinforcing crossbeam of assembly 89 is connected and fixed to the middle section of the front floor, and the front floor under-rear reinforcing crossbeam of the front seat mounting assembly 89 is limited and supported by the limiting block assembly; the middle second unit positioning structure is connected and fixed to the drive shaft support through the limiter, and the supporting fork block supports the drive shaft support; the right third unit positioning structure is fixed to the front floor under-reinforcing crossbeam of the front seat mounting assembly 87 and the middle section of the front floor of the front floor assembly 84 through the limiting pin assembly, and the front floor under-reinforcing crossbeam of the front seat mounting assembly 87 is limited and supported by the limiting block assembly.

[0040] like Figure 7 , 8As shown, the third clamping and positioning device includes a base and two unit positioning structures. The left unit positioning structure includes an L-shaped base, a connecting platform, a set of limit pins, and a clamping platform limit block. The right unit positioning structure includes an L-shaped base, a connector, a clamping arm, limit pins, a clamping platform limit assembly, and a rotating handle. In the left unit positioning structure, the L-shaped base is connected to the base and the worktable by bolts, the connecting platform is connected to the L-shaped base by bolts, and limit and clamping platform limit blocks of different specifications and sizes are connected to the connecting platform by bolts. Multiple limit pins form a set of limit pins. In the right unit positioning structure, the L-shaped base is connected to the base and the worktable by bolts, the upper part of the L-shaped base is connected to the clamping arm by bolts, the connector is connected to the clamping arm by bolts, the rotating handle below the clamping arm is fastened to the clamping arm by threads, and the limit pin on the clamping arm is connected to the clamping arm by bolts.

The right unit positioning structure first fixes the right-side reinforcing crossbeam of the front floor of the front seat rear crossbeam assembly 89 with a limit pin assembly, loosens the rotating handle to open the clamping arm by rotating the connector, and then clamps and fixes the right sill side beam assembly with a limit pin assembly. Tightening the rotating handle fixes the right sill side beam assembly with a clamping limit block on the clamping arm.

[0041] like Figure 9 , 10As shown, the fourth clamping and positioning device includes a base and five unit positioning structures. Each unit positioning structure has the same composition, including an L-shaped base, a clamping arm, a positioning pin, a positioner, a handle, an upper clamping block, and a lower clamping block. The upper and lower clamping blocks form a clamping block group. The L-shaped base is connected to the worktable by bolts. The upper part of the L-shaped base is connected to the clamping arm by bolts. The lower part of the clamping arm is connected to the lower clamping block by bolts. The upper part of the clamping arm is connected to the upper clamping block by bolts. The upper and lower parts of the clamping arm are rotatably connected by a connector, so that the clamping arm can be moved by the handle. The left first unit positioning structure raises the upper clamping block on the clamping arm by pulling the handle and rotating the connector, thus fixing the left front floor through the locator. Pulling the handle again lowers the upper clamping block, and the upper and lower clamping blocks work together to clamp and fix the left front floor 82. The right first unit positioning structure raises the upper clamping block on the clamping arm by pulling the handle and rotating the connector, thus fixing the right front floor 85 through the locator. Pulling the handle again lowers the upper clamping block, and the upper and lower clamping blocks work together to clamp and fix the right front floor. The middle unit positioning structure raises the upper clamping block on the clamping arm by pulling the handle and rotating the connector, thus fixing the middle section of the front floor assembly 84 through the locating pin. Pulling the handle again lowers the upper clamping block, and the upper and lower clamping blocks work together to clamp and fix the middle section of the front floor. Finally, pulling the handles of the left second unit positioning structure and the right second unit positioning structure simultaneously lowers the upper clamping block, and the upper and lower clamping blocks work together to clamp and fix the end of the middle section of the front floor.

[0042] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
