Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a clamping fixture, specifically a wire rope clamping fixture, and belongs to the field of clamping fixture technology. Background Technology

[0002] The flexible shaft of an automotive sunroof is a key component for enabling the opening and closing of the sunroof, while the steel wire rope is the core component of the flexible shaft. With its high strength and good flexibility, the steel wire rope provides a stable power transmission foundation for the flexible shaft. During the injection molding process of producing automotive sunroof flexible shafts, the steel wire rope needs to be clamped and fixed and measured using clamping fixtures, and then precisely cut. This ensures that each steel wire rope meets the design specifications, which is conducive to the efficient and accurate execution of subsequent assembly processes and reduces the scrap rate.

[0003] However, on the tooling used in the production of automotive sunroof flexible shafts, when the latch is used to fix the pressure block, the pressure block must first be rotated above the wire rope, and then the latch must be rotated to be vertical with the fixing block. After that, the bolts on the latch are used to press the pressure block to complete the fixation. Tightening the bolts requires manual operation with tools to operate one turn at a time, which is inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0024] 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.

[0025] Please see Figures 1-7 As shown, a wire rope clamping fixture includes a base 1, a locking buckle 9 rotatably connected to the base 1, a pressure block 6 rotatably connected to the base 1, a fixing block 7 detachably connected to the base 1, a fixing structure 2 provided on the locking buckle 9, the fixing structure 2 including a fixing rod 201, the fixing rod 201 slidably connected to the locking buckle 9, a connecting shaft 202 rotatably connected to the fixing rod 201, a roller 203 fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 202, an installation shaft 205 rotatably connected to the locking buckle 9, a cam 206 fixedly connected to the installation shaft 205, the roller 203 and the cam 206 rollingly connected, and the installation shaft 205 fixed by a limiting structure 3.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a guide post 207 is fixedly connected inside the latch 9, and the fixing rod 201 is slidably connected to the guide post 207. The fixing rod 201 slides along the guide post 207. The setting of the guide post 207 makes the movement of the fixing rod 201 more stable. A first spring 204 is fixedly connected between the fixing rod 201 and the latch 9. A first fixing shaft 5 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The pressure block 6 is rotatably connected to the first fixing shaft 5. A second fixing shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the base 1. The latch 9 is rotatably connected to the second fixing shaft 8. The limiting structure 3 includes a slide rod 301, and the slide rod 301 is slidably connected to the mounting shaft 205.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a connecting plate 302 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 301, and a limiting post 303 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 302. The latch 9 is provided with multiple limiting holes 304, which are arranged in a circular array about the center of the mounting shaft 205. The limiting post 303 engages with one of the limiting holes 304. After fixing, the pressing rod 305 is released, and the limiting post 303 engages with the limiting hole 304 under the action of the second spring 306. The engagement between the limiting post 303 and the latch 9 facilitates the fixing of the rotating mounting shaft 205 and prevents the cam 206 from rotating and causing the fixing rod 201 to slide. A pressing rod 305 is fixedly connected to the slide rod 301, and a second spring 306 is fixedly connected between the pressing rod 305 and the mounting shaft 205.

[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the fixing block 7 is mounted on the base 1 via the mounting structure 4. The mounting structure 4 includes a mounting block 401, and the mounting block 401 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 7. The mounting block 401 is slidably connected to the base 1. Two mounting plates 402 are slidably connected to the base 1. The mounting block 401 is provided with two mounting grooves 404, and the two mounting plates 402 are respectively engaged with the two mounting grooves 404. A lead screw 403 is rotatably connected to the base 1. The threads at both ends of the lead screw 403 are in opposite directions. When it is necessary to replace the fixing block 7 according to different models of wire rope, insert the internal hexagonal wrench into the hexagonal groove on the screw 403 and rotate the screw 403. Since the threads at both ends of the screw 403 are opposite, they can drive the two mounting plates 402 to move in opposite directions, so that the two mounting plates 402 are no longer engaged with the mounting groove 404 on the mounting block 401. At this time, the mounting block 401 is slid off the base 1 through the fixing block 7, thereby completing the disassembly and assembly of the fixing block 7, so as to replace the fixing block 7 with different placement grooves. The mounting plate 402 is threadedly connected to the screw 403.

[0029] In use, when it is necessary to fix the wire rope, first place the wire rope into the eight placement slots on the fixing block 7. Then, rotate the pressure block 6 around the first fixing axis 5 until it rotates onto the fixing block 7. Subsequently, rotate the locking buckle 9 around the second fixing axis 8 until it is perpendicular to the base 1. At this time, press the pressing rod 305. When the pressing rod 305 slides, it will cause the second spring 306 to contract, which will drive the sliding rod 301 to move. The movement of the sliding rod 301 will then drive the connecting plate 302 to move. Movement 302 causes the limiting post 303 to no longer engage with the limiting hole 304. At this time, the mounting shaft 205 can be rotated by pressing the rod 305 and sliding rod 301. Simultaneously, the connecting plate 302 will drive the limiting post 303 to move. When the mounting shaft 205 rotates, it will drive the cam 206 to rotate. Since the roller 203 rolls with the cam 206 when the cam 206 rotates, the fixing rod 201 slides along the guide post 207. The guide post 207 makes the movement of the fixing rod 201 more stable, and the first spring 204 will contract. When the fixed rod 201 contracts, it applies a downward force to the pressure block 6, thereby fixing the wire rope. The cam 206 drives the fixed rod 201 to apply pressure to the pressure block 6, enabling rapid fixing of the wire rope and improving fixing efficiency. After fixing, the pressing rod 305 is released, and the limiting post 303 engages with the limiting hole 304 under the action of the second spring 306. The engagement between the limiting post 303 and the locking buckle 9 facilitates the fixing of the rotated mounting shaft 205, preventing the fixed rod 201 from slipping due to the rotation of the cam 206. Furthermore, when it is necessary to replace the fixing block 7 according to different models of wire rope, insert the internal hexagonal wrench into the hexagonal groove on the screw 403 and rotate the screw 403. Since the threads at both ends of the screw 403 are opposite, they can drive the two mounting plates 402 to move in opposite directions, so that the two mounting plates 402 are no longer engaged with the mounting groove 404 on the mounting block 401. At this time, the mounting block 401 can be slid off the base 1 through the fixing block 7, thereby completing the disassembly and assembly of the fixing block 7, so as to replace the fixing block 7 with different placement grooves.
