Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive connector technology, specifically an automotive assembly positioning connector. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of the automotive and auto parts industries, the technological level of automotive assembly lines has also improved significantly. Domestically, there is increasing emphasis on assembly and factory testing, which directly affect the quality and lifespan of automotive products and are the final stages of production. This has promoted the improvement of automotive assembly and testing processes and equipment technology. However, most automotive assembly positioning and connecting components currently in use domestically are not performing well.

[0003] Existing automotive positioning connectors suffer from the following main problems: In automotive assembly, traditional connection methods (such as bolts, welding, or clips) require manual alignment of holes, which is inefficient and prone to misassembly, leading to poor assembly accuracy or rework. To address these issues, we propose an automotive assembly positioning connector. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automotive assembly positioning connector to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an automotive assembly positioning connector, comprising:

[0006] The connector body has two pairs of through slots. Two positioning blocks are fixedly welded to the front side wall of the connector body. The positioning blocks are cone-shaped. Two fixing seats are fixedly welded to the rear side wall of the connector body. The two fixing seats are respectively located between each pair of through slots. The fixing seats are equipped with locking rods. Two snap-fit ​​slots are opened on the side wall of the locking rod near the connector body. The snap-fit ​​slots are aligned with the through slots.

[0007] Preferably, the locking rod has a through hole in the middle, a locking stud is provided in the through hole, and the fixing seat has a plurality of equally spaced threaded holes that are adapted to the locking stud.

[0008] Preferably, the through groove is configured as a long strip.

[0009] Preferably, the two positioning blocks are of an asymmetrical design.

[0010] Preferably, the main body of the connector is made of lightweight alloy material.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] In use, the two asymmetrically designed positioning blocks facilitate accurate installation of the connector body onto the workpiece, preventing misinstallation. The elongated through-slot design allows the connector body to be used with various workpieces. The two locking slots on the locking rod allow it to engage with bolts installed in the through-slots on the workpiece, ensuring the connector body will not shift after installation. The locking rod can be threaded into threaded holes at different locations via locking studs, facilitating the locking of bolts at various positions and improving the applicability of the connector body.

[0017] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a technical solution: an automotive assembly positioning connector, comprising:

[0019] The connector body 1 has two pairs of through slots 2. Two positioning blocks 3 are fixedly welded to the front side wall of the connector body 1. The positioning blocks 3 are cone-shaped. Two fixing seats 4 are fixedly welded to the rear side wall of the connector body 1. The two fixing seats 4 are respectively located between each pair of through slots 2. The fixing seats 4 are equipped with locking rods 5. Two snap-fit ​​slots 6 are opened on the side wall of the locking rod 5 near the connector body 1. The snap-fit ​​slots 6 are aligned with the through slots 2.

[0020] The locking rod 5 has a through hole in the middle, and a locking stud 7 is provided in the through hole. The fixing base 4 has a plurality of equally spaced threaded holes 8, which are adapted to the locking stud 7. By the cooperation between the locking stud 7 and the threaded hole 8, the locking rod 5 can be easily locked and fixed. The locking stud 7 can be threaded into the threaded hole 8 at different positions, thereby fixing the locking rod 5 at different positions.

[0021] The through groove 2 is designed as a long strip. The through groove 2 is used to fit the main body 1 of the connector onto the bolt of the workpiece to be connected. The long strip design makes it easy to apply to a variety of different workpieces.

[0022] The two positioning blocks 3 are asymmetrically designed. The asymmetrical design can prevent the connector body 1 from being misinstalled during installation. The positioning blocks 3 can ensure that the connector body 1 can be accurately installed by cooperating with the positioning grooves that are compatible with the workpiece.

[0023] The main body 1 of the connector is made of lightweight alloy material.

[0024] Working principle: When in use, the two asymmetrically designed positioning blocks 3 facilitate the accurate installation of the connector body 1 on the workpiece, avoiding misinstallation of the connector body 1 during installation. The elongated through groove 2 makes the connector body 1 suitable for connecting various workpieces. The two snap-fit ​​grooves 6 on the locking rod 5 allow the locking rod 5 to be fitted onto the bolts installed in the through groove 2 on the workpiece, ensuring that the connector body 1 will not shift after installation. The locking rod 5 can be threaded into the threaded holes 8 at different positions through the locking stud 7, thereby facilitating the locking rod 5 to lock and fix the bolts at various positions, improving the applicability of the connector body 1.
