Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of parts rack technology, specifically to an automotive parts workstation fixture. Background Technology

[0002] Due to the production characteristics of the automotive industry, a large number of workstation tools are required during the assembly of automotive parts (especially body-in-white metal parts). Among these workstation tools, apart from a few that require special functions, such as precision positioning tools for loading parts, the vast majority only have the function of temporary storage and transportation. For example, production personnel use workstation tools to move parts from the sub-assembly production line to the higher-level assembly production line, and workstation tools are needed for the transportation and storage of spare parts for sale (doors, front and rear hoods, roofs, side panels, etc.).

[0003] In the production workshop, workstation fixtures are non-standard company assets. Generally, the procurement quantity of workstation fixtures for each vehicle model is 900-1200 units (including multiple uses such as production / sales), used for parts transfer and short-term storage. The life cycle of these workstation fixtures is consistent with the corresponding service vehicle model. When the corresponding service vehicle model is EOP (End of Production), these workstation fixtures cannot be modified and reused (the internal and external structures are rigid and fixed according to the number of parts they accommodate, and cannot accommodate other parts), and can only be scrapped.

[0004] The current project planning / production strategy primarily utilizes flexible production lines, with several vehicle models produced concurrently in a single workshop. More flexible workshops can produce 5 or 6 vehicle models simultaneously. Considering the production and sale of spare parts, each workshop has over 1200 pieces of equipment. The average price of these workstation pieces is approximately 4000-5000 RMB, therefore, the total cost of workstation pieces in a welding workshop exceeds 5 million RMB. Furthermore, major users of these workstation pieces include the stamping workshop, stamping equipment warehouse, and sales spare parts warehouse. The sales spare parts warehouse, in particular, can have several thousand pieces of equipment, with manufacturing costs reaching tens of millions of RMB. Moreover, with the recent significant price increases in materials such as steel and organic insulating grease, the manufacturing cost of workstation pieces is rising steadily, resulting in an increasingly heavy overall cost burden from the company's operational and management perspectives.

[0005] In highly flexible production workshops, each vehicle model requires its own dedicated workstation equipment due to differences in the external contours and dimensions of its parts, and these are not interchangeable. This results in a large number of workstation equipment, making management difficult, increasing equipment turnover, and requiring significant floor space. This places a heavy burden, particularly on the sales spare parts transportation / management department, regarding the use / management of related workstation equipment and warehouse operations. When a particular vehicle model is being produced, its dedicated workstation equipment is in use; however, other models are not currently being produced, leaving their dedicated workstation equipment idle. For these idle workstation equipment, resource waste is unavoidable.

[0006] 1. These devices occupy a large area of ​​space, some even taking up part of the production or logistics area, resulting in a waste of space;

[0007] 2. Throughout the entire vehicle lifecycle (generally around 6-8 years), these workstations and equipment remain idle for extended periods, resulting in wasted costs.

[0008] 3. Even when these workstations and equipment are idle, they still require workshop management, periodic inventory checks, and personnel maintenance, resulting in wasted manpower. This is particularly true for the transportation management of sales spare parts. When spare parts are being produced for a particular model, the corresponding sales spare parts workstations and equipment are in use, while those for other models remain idle, causing waste. Furthermore, these idle workstations and equipment still occupy warehouse space and generate significant operating costs, leading to further waste. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0031] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, exemplary embodiments of this disclosure are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of this disclosure to aid understanding. These should be considered merely exemplary. Therefore, those skilled in the art should recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of this disclosure. Similarly, for clarity and brevity, descriptions of well-known functions and structures are omitted in the following description.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the term "comprising" and its variations indicate an open-ended inclusion, that is, "including but not limited to". The terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance. In addition, in the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0033] Automotive parts workstation equipment is mainly used for the storage and transportation of automotive parts, such as car hoods, car rear covers, doors, side panels, fenders, windshields, and roofs. Unless otherwise explicitly specified, for ease of description, this application will use a car rear cover as an example for illustrative purposes.

[0034] This utility model provides an automotive parts workstation fixture, referenced... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device includes a frame 1 and an internal support 2. The internal support 2 is provided with a first connecting plate 24, which has a first mounting hole 241. The frame 1 is provided with a second connecting plate 14, which has multiple second mounting holes 141 arranged along the direction of movement of the internal support 2. The arrangement of the second mounting holes 141 is adapted to the standard support positions for placing multiple automotive parts. The first connecting plate 24 is detachably connected to the second connecting plate 14 by fasteners passing through the first and second mounting holes 241. The frame 1 is the external main structure of the workstation fixture, and is a steel frame 1, which provides rigid load-bearing and support protection. The internal support 2 is located inside the steel frame 1 and provides support for the load-bearing parts.

[0035] Unlike traditional workstation fixtures, this workstation fixture's internal support 2 is detachably connected to the steel frame 1 via fasteners, such as bolts or bolt-nut assemblies. Due to differences in the external surface contours and dimensions of different parts, the fixing position of the internal support 2 also varies. Therefore, the arrangement of the second mounting holes 141 is designed according to the different shapes and dimensions of various rear covers. When a certain model of car rear cover is in production / transportation demand, the internal support 2 is installed in the corresponding second mounting hole 141, allowing the workstation fixture to support that model's rear cover. When production switches to other car rear covers, the internal support 2 is moved along the arrangement direction of the second mounting holes 141, adjusting its fixing position to the standard support position for that model's rear cover, allowing the workstation fixture to support that model's rear cover. The standard support position for the car rear cover can be determined through the digital model design of the car rear cover and the internal support 2. If the external surface contour and dimensions of the car rear cover differ significantly from the previous model, the internal support 2 can be replaced, allowing the workstation fixture to support that model's rear cover. This workstation fixture is parts compatible and can be adapted to the rear covers of different car models.

[0036] In some embodiments, due to the width of the automotive parts, the internal support 2 includes at least two first support rods 21 extending along the X direction for stable support. Each first support rod 21 has a plurality of first support seats 211 arranged along the X direction. The bottom of the automotive parts can be supported by the two first support seats 211 located on the two first support rods 21 respectively. The frame 1 includes a base frame 11; both ends of the first support rods 21 are provided with first connecting plates 24, and both ends of the base frame 11 are provided with second connecting plates 14. The second mounting holes 141 are arranged along the Y direction. The direction to be moved for the first support rods 21 is the Y direction. Moving the two first support rods 21 along the Y direction allows adjustment of the distance between the two first support seats 211 along the width direction of the automotive rear cover, thereby accommodating automotive rear covers of different widths.

[0037] In some embodiments, automotive parts such as the hood, rear cover, and doors have window frame structures. To provide more stable support, the internal support 2 includes a second support rod 22 extending along the X direction. The second support rod 22 has multiple second support seats 221 arranged along the X direction. In use, the bottom of the rear cover is placed on the first support seat 211, and the upper contour of the rear cover's window frame is placed on the second support seats 221. The upper contour of the window frame can be supported by the second support seats 221 on the second support rod 22. The frame 1 also includes a side panel, which includes a first longitudinal beam 12. A first connecting plate 24 is disposed at one end of the second support rod 22, and a second connecting plate 14 is disposed on the first longitudinal beam 12. The second mounting holes 141 are arranged along the Z direction. Depending on the part size, the second support rod 22 can be one or two. When there is one second support rod 22, the first longitudinal beam 12 is located in the middle of the frame 1. When there are two second support rods 22, the first longitudinal beams 12 can be symmetrically arranged on both sides of the frame 1. The direction to be moved for the second support rod 22 is the Z-axis. Moving the second support rod 22 along the Z-axis can adapt to the upper contour of the window frame of different heights. When there are two second support rods 22, the first longitudinal beam 12 can be set in multiple sets. By fixing the second support rods 22 to different first longitudinal beams 12, the distance between the second support rods 22 can be adjusted in the Y-axis to adapt to window frames of different widths.

[0038] The first support 211 and the second support 221 directly contact the outer surface of the part, serving as auxiliary support, positioning and limiting the part, and buffering. Organic insulating grease support blocks can be used. Due to differences in the outer surface contours and dimensions of different car rear covers, the size, shape, and fixing position of the organic insulating grease support blocks in contact with them will vary accordingly. The first support 211 can be detachably connected to the first support rod 21 using bolts, and the second support 221 can be detachably connected to the second support rod 22. The use of the workstation equipment is mainly for transportation; therefore, bumps / consumable damage are unavoidable. The first support 211 and the second support 221 can be replaced as needed, without requiring a complete replacement of the first support rod 21 and the second support, thus saving costs.

[0039] In some embodiments, the internal support 2 includes a baffle 23 extending along the X direction, and the frame 1 also includes a side wall, the side wall including at least two second longitudinal beams 13. A first connecting plate 24 is provided at both ends of the baffle 23, and a second connecting plate 14 is provided on each of the two second longitudinal beams 13. The second mounting holes 141 are arranged along the Z direction. The baffle 23 is disposed inside the frame 1 to limit the left and right movement of the load-bearing parts, preventing them from falling off during transport. Depending on the needs, the baffle 23 can be configured as a movable baffle 23 or a fixed baffle 23. The movable baffle 23 is connected to the inside of the steel structure frame 1 via a movable component (such as a hinge), and can be pulled down or raised. The fixed baffle 23 is fixedly disposed inside the steel structure frame 1. To keep the parts stable during transport, a baffle 23 can be provided at each end of the frame 1.

[0040] It is understood that the X, Y, and Z directions are mutually perpendicular spatial directions, representing the usual orientation or positional relationship when the product is used, or the orientation or positional relationship commonly understood by those skilled in the art. These directions are used merely for the purpose of describing the present invention and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or component referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. Figure 1 As shown, the X direction can be set as the thickness direction of the workstation fixture, the Y direction can be set as the width direction of the workstation fixture, and the Z direction can be set as the height direction of the workstation fixture.

[0041] Depending on the automotive parts to be stored, appropriate internal supports 2 can be selected. For example, the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 can be used together, the first support rod 21 and the baffle 23 can be used together, the first support rod 21, the second support rod 22 and the baffle 23 can be used together, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0042] In some embodiments, at least two first mounting holes 241 are provided to form a first hole group, and each first mounting hole 241 is arranged along the direction to be moved of the internal support 2; a plurality of second mounting holes 141 form a plurality of second hole groups adapted to the first hole group, and each second mounting hole 141 of each second hole group is respectively aligned with each first mounting hole 241 of the first hole group. Each second mounting hole 141 of each second hole group can be aligned with each first mounting hole 241 one by one. According to the vehicle model requirements, the position of the first hole group can be adjusted so that the first hole group is aligned with the corresponding second hole group of the vehicle model. Then, the first connecting plate 24 and the second connecting plate 14 are connected by a plurality of fasteners, making the connection more reliable and stable, and providing more stable support for the rear cover of the car.

[0043] To save costs and spare parts, the structure of the first connecting plate 24 of the internal support 2 corresponding to the rear cover of different car models is the same, that is, the arrangement of the first mounting holes 241 is the same for different car models, the arrangement of each second mounting hole 141 of each second hole group is the same, and the distance between each second hole group can be set as needed.

[0044] Depending on the size of the rear cover of different car models, when the internal support 2 is set as the first support rod 21 and the baffle 23, the second mounting holes 141 of adjacent second hole groups can be arranged sequentially, staggered, or overlapping. For example, if the first hole group includes two first mounting holes 241, then a second hole group includes two second mounting holes 141, and the second connecting plate 14 is provided with two sets of second hole groups. In one embodiment, the second connecting plate 14 is provided with four second mounting holes 1#-4# arranged sequentially, as needed, such as Figure 3 As shown, the second mounting holes 1# and 2# can be configured to form one second hole group, and the second mounting holes 141 3# and 4# can form another second hole group, that is, the second mounting holes 141 are arranged sequentially to form two second hole groups. Figure 4 As shown, it can also be configured such that second mounting holes 1# and 3# form one second hole group, and second mounting holes 2# and 4# form another second hole group, that is, the second mounting holes 141 are arranged alternately to form two second hole groups. In another embodiment, as shown... Figure 5 As shown, the second connecting plate 14 is provided with three second mounting holes 141 arranged in sequence from 1# to 3#. It can be configured such that second mounting holes 1# and 2# form a second hole group, and second mounting holes 2# and 3# form a second hole group, that is, the second mounting holes 141 are arranged in an overlapping manner to form two second hole groups.

[0045] Considering the space utilization of workstation fixtures, for automotive parts with similar dimensions, the dimensions of the steel frame 1 and the fixed positions of the internal supports 2 on the frame 1 are designed according to the digital model of the corresponding part. This results in a unique part-accommodating function for workstation fixtures with internal supports 2 located in the same fixed position. If parts of other shapes / sizes are placed in the workstation fixture at this fixed position, the outer contour / size of the part will exceed the support point of the organic insulating grease support block, causing interference or collision. Therefore, in actual production, especially for flexible production lines, to prevent employees from installing the internal supports 2 into the wrong second mounting hole 141, it is necessary to mark the vehicle model corresponding to the second mounting hole 141 with a vehicle model identification 142 next to the second mounting hole 141 to prevent misplacement, wasted operation time, and accidental parts collisions.

[0046] Specifically, when the second mounting holes 141 of adjacent second hole groups are arranged sequentially, all the second mounting holes 141 of each second hole group are provided with a vehicle model identifier 142, or one of the second mounting holes 141 at both ends of each second hole group is provided with a vehicle model identifier 142; when the second mounting holes 141 of adjacent second hole groups are arranged alternately or overlappingly, one of the second mounting holes 141 at both ends of each second hole group is provided with a vehicle model identifier 142. For example, the second connecting plate 14 is provided with two second hole groups, and one second hole group includes two second mounting holes 141. When the second mounting holes 141 of adjacent second hole groups are arranged sequentially, the two second mounting holes 141 of each of the two second hole groups can both be provided with a vehicle model identifier 142, or the first or second second mounting hole 141 of each second hole group can be provided with a vehicle model identifier 142. In this case, when the second mounting hole 141 with the vehicle model identifier 142 is aligned with the corresponding first mounting hole 241, the other second mounting holes 141 are automatically aligned with the corresponding first mounting hole 241. When the second mounting holes 141 of adjacent second hole groups are arranged alternately or overlappingly, a vehicle model identifier 142 can be set on the first or second second mounting hole 141 of each second hole group.

[0047] Vehicle identification 142 can be set as a number, letter, color, text, or a combination thereof, for example, Figures 3-5 As shown, the vehicle model identifier 142 can be set as A1, A2, B1, B2, etc., as long as it can distinguish the second mounting holes 141 corresponding to different vehicle models. When the positions of the first support rod 21, the second support rod 22, and the baffle 23 of each vehicle model correspond one-to-one, the vehicle model identifier 142 of the second mounting holes 141 set on the second connecting plate 14 of the base frame 11, the first longitudinal beam 12, and the second longitudinal beam 13 is set to the same identifier. When at least one of the first support rod 21, the second support rod 22, and the baffle 23 corresponding to each vehicle model has the same position, the second mounting hole 141 corresponding to the internal support 2 with the same position can be marked with any one vehicle model identifier 142, or two vehicle model identifiers 142 can be marked at the same time, and the second mounting holes 141 corresponding to other components are marked with vehicle model identifiers 142 respectively.

[0048] The second support rod 22 is fixed at only one end and is relatively long. When the internal support 2 is configured as the second support rod 22, a reinforcing rod 222 is provided below the second support rod 22. One end of the reinforcing rod 222 is connected to the free end of the second support rod 22, and the other end is connected to the first connecting plate 24. The second support rod 22, the reinforcing rod 222, and the first connecting plate 24 form a triangular structure, which improves the rigidity of the second support rod 22, prevents the free end of the second support rod 22 from deforming due to excessive load, and ensures that the second support rod 22 is firmly fixed, providing stable support for the car's rear cover. To facilitate the installation of fasteners, the first mounting holes 241 and the second mounting holes 141 can be configured in two rows, with the second support rod 22 and the reinforcing rod 222 positioned between the two rows of first mounting holes 241. The first mounting holes 241 can be configured as elongated holes, and the second mounting holes 141 as circular holes. The first connecting plate 24 can be slightly adjusted in the Z direction.

[0049] When the second support rod 22 is equipped with a reinforcing rod 222, in order to facilitate the connection of the reinforcing rod 222 to the first connecting plate 24, the first connecting plate 24 is relatively long in the Z direction, and the distance between the two first mounting holes 241 arranged in the Z direction is relatively far. Therefore, the second mounting holes 141 of adjacent second hole groups can be arranged in an alternating manner, which facilitates the height adjustment of the second support rod 22 in the Z direction to match the rear covers of different car models. Correspondingly, at this time, one of the second mounting holes 141 at both ends of each second hole group is provided with a car model identification 142 to prevent the use of a second mounting hole 141 that is incompatible with the support position of the part to be placed.

[0050] Preferably, the second connecting plate 14 can be detachably mounted on the frame 1. When a new car rear cover is required, the corresponding second connecting plate 14 can be replaced as needed, and the arrangement of the second mounting holes 141 can be rearranged on the replaced second connecting plate 14. By replacing the second connecting plate 14, this workstation fixture can be adapted to more car models, thus broadening its applicability.

[0051] To ensure compatibility with various car rear covers, the shapes, sizes, outer contours, weights, loading postures, loading quantities, and insertion / removal directions of each car rear cover are fully considered. The positions of the internal supports 2, the first mounting hole 241, the second mounting hole 141, the first support base 211, and the second support base 221 are calculated and analyzed through digital model simulation to prevent interference.

[0052] To facilitate transportation, rollers and fork 3 can be installed at the bottom of frame 1, allowing employees to manually drag and move the equipment, or to move it by lifting it from the bottom with a forklift. A tow bar can also be installed on the outside of frame 1 for use with automated guided vehicles (AGVs) or tractors. The equipment can also be constructed using lightweight materials such as magnesium, aluminum, or titanium alloys.

[0053] The first support rod 21, the second support rod 22, and the baffle 23 can be easily installed and disassembled to switch the internal support 2 to accommodate different parts according to the vehicle model requirements, thus making the workstation fixture compatible with parts. Actual testing shows that switching the internal support 2 only requires 1-2 employees and takes 10-15 minutes, resulting in high switching efficiency without affecting production or transportation.

[0054] If the outer surface contour of the next car rear cover is the same as that of the previous model, and the same first support 211 and second support 221 are used, then the internal support 2 can be moved along the arrangement direction of the second mounting hole 141, and the fixed position of the internal support 2 can be adjusted. If the outer surface contour of the next car rear cover is completely different from that of the previous model, and different first support 211 and second support 221 are required, then the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22 can be replaced, so that the first support 211 and the second support 221 are replaced and stored together with the first support rod 21 and the second support rod 22. At the same time, the internal support 2 corresponding to other types of car rear covers is installed on the steel structure frame 1. Therefore, this workstation fixture is compatible with automotive parts of different models. When production switches from one model to another, the internal support 2 of the workstation fixture can be easily adjusted or replaced and can continue to be used. This allows it to be used in conjunction with the production and transfer of automotive parts for different models. Only different internal supports 2 and organic insulating grease support blocks need to be configured according to different models. There is no need to make spare parts for the entire workstation fixture, which can significantly reduce the number of special workstation fixtures purchased and reduce usage and procurement costs.

[0055] Taking the transportation management of spare parts for a certain vehicle model as an example, the traditional workstation equipment was purchased approximately 800 units over 6 years. As the purchase quantity increased, the floor space required also increased, reaching a total of approximately 1600 square meters. In contrast, the equipment for this specific model was purchased only 260 units over 6 years, a reduction of 520 units, representing a two-thirds decrease in the total purchase quantity of traditional workstation equipment. Since no further increases in purchase quantity occurred, the floor space remained unchanged at only 520 square meters, one-third of the total floor space required by traditional workstation equipment, resulting in a significant reduction in space requirements and substantial lower warehouse operating costs. For the transportation management of spare parts for a single vehicle model alone, approximately RMB 2 million can be saved over 6 years, with a warehouse operating space saving of 1000 square meters. If extended to the transportation of spare parts for all vehicle models and production, it is estimated that approximately RMB 11 million can be saved annually, with total cost savings of approximately RMB 90 million and a warehouse operating / production space saving of over 10,000 square meters. Furthermore, this workstation equipment can also improve truck loading efficiency.
