[0025] Please refer to the reference. Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 1 This is a first-view structural schematic diagram of an embodiment of the support tooling provided in this application. Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A third-view structural schematic diagram of the supporting fixture. This application provides a supporting fixture 100 for a vehicle rear cover. The supporting fixture 100 includes an installation component 1, a supporting component 2, and a gripping component 3. The installation component 1 is used to connect the rear cover of the vehicle. The installation component 1 includes a first base plate 11 and a second base plate 12, which are partially overlapped and connected, and the center of the first base plate 11 coincides with the center of the second base plate 12. The supporting component 2 is connected to the installation component 1 and is used to abut against the vehicle body. The gripping component 3 is connected to the supporting component 2 and is used to lift the rear cover. With the above structure, the supporting fixture 100 of this application embodiment consists only of the installation component 1, the supporting component 2, and the gripping component 3. The structure is simple and the cost is low. The cooperation of the first base plate 11 and the second base plate 12 can improve the structural strength of the installation component 1, thereby improving the stability of the connection with the vehicle rear cover. The support component 2 abuts against the vehicle body, thereby achieving the supporting and limiting function of the rear cover and improving the stability and firmness of the rear cover position. Therefore, the support fixture in this application embodiment can improve or avoid problems such as damage and deformation of the back cover, and can also meet the production requirements of robot painting or gripping.

[0026] Specifically, the mounting component 1 is connected to the locking position of the rear cover, ensuring that the entire mounting surface of the tooling is inside the rear cover, thus reducing or avoiding the impact on the paint finish of the rear cover. The partial overlap and center alignment of the first base plate 11 and the second base plate 12 improve the structural stability of the mounting component 1 and strengthen the connection between the mounting component 1 and the rear cover. The support component 2 is used to abut against the vehicle body, ensuring that the rear cover maintains a certain opening angle with the vehicle body during production and transportation, thereby improving or preventing the rear cover from shaking during operation and causing damage or deformation. The gripping component 3 can extend from the vehicle body or the rear cover for robot gripping.

[0027] During use, vehicles inevitably sway during transport on the production line. The support fixture 100 in this embodiment can support and limit the rear cover, improving or preventing damage and deformation caused by the rear cover colliding with the vehicle body. The gripping component 3 also facilitates the robot to grip and lift the rear cover for operations such as painting. After the subsequent operations on the rear cover are completed, the rear cover can be lowered while maintaining a distance from the vehicle body.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, the support component 2 includes a connecting portion 21, a bending portion 22, and a first support portion 23 connected in sequence. The extending direction of the connecting portion 21 is perpendicular to the extending direction of the first support portion 23, forming an L-shaped structure. One end of the connecting portion 21 away from the bending portion 22 is connected to the gripping component 3. One end of the first support portion 23 away from the bending portion 22 is connected to the side of the second base plate 12 away from the first base plate 11. The first base plate 11 is used to connect the back cover.

[0029] Specifically, the first base plate 11 is used to connect the rear cover, and the second base plate 12 is superimposed on the first base plate 11 to improve the stability and robustness of the structure. The support fixture 100 of this embodiment, by designing the support component 2 as an L-shaped structure and rationally arranging the connection relationships between its parts, can provide higher stability and load-bearing capacity. It also facilitates the extension of the connecting part 21 away from the bending part 22 into the interior of the rear cover, thereby making it easier for the robot to grasp and lift the rear cover. In use, part of the connecting part 21 or the bending part 22 abuts against the vehicle body. The perpendicular extension of the connecting part 21 and the first support part 23 effectively disperses the force, improving or avoiding stress concentration in a single direction.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the support component 2 further includes a second support portion 24, the two opposite ends of the second base plate 12 being connected to the side of the second base plate 12 away from the first base plate 11 and the middle of the connecting portion 21, respectively.

[0031] Specifically, the second support portion 24 is an important component of the support assembly 2. It forms a new support structure by connecting the side of the second base plate 12 away from the first base plate 11 and the middle of the connecting portion 21. This design supports the overall strength and rigidity of the tooling 100, allowing the support assembly 2 to more effectively distribute and bear the pressure and weight from the vehicle's rear cover, thereby reducing the risk of structural damage due to localized stress concentration. Furthermore, this structural design also improves the safety and reliability of the support tooling 100 and extends its service life. In one specific embodiment, the second support portion 24 can be connected by welding. This connection method not only disperses the stress points but also effectively prevents structural deformation caused by a single stress point. In another specific embodiment, the second support portion 24 can also be connected by bolts, which will not be elaborated here.

[0032] Please continue to combine Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A second-view structural schematic diagram of the supporting fixture. In one embodiment of this application, portions of the connecting part 21, the bending part 22, the second supporting part 24, and the first supporting part 23 are enclosed with the second base plate 12 to form a U-shaped structure.

[0033] Specifically, by forming a U-shaped structure with the connecting part 21, the bending part 22, the second support part 24, and the first support part 23, together with the second base plate 12, similar to a frame structure, the support stability of the vehicle rear cover can be improved. This structure can effectively distribute the force and reduce local stress concentration, thereby extending the service life of the support fixture 100. In addition, the U-shaped structure can also improve safety and prevent the vehicle rear cover from tilting or shifting during use.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, as Figure 3 As shown, the first base plate 11 protrudes from the second base plate 12 on both sides of the first direction D1, and the second base plate 12 protrudes from the first base plate 11 on both sides of the second direction D2; the first direction D1, the second direction D2, and the stacking directions of the first base plate 11 and the second base plate 12 are perpendicular to each other; the first base plate 11 is used to connect the back cover, and the side of the second base plate 12 opposite to the first base plate 11 is connected to the support assembly 2 to transmit the pressure of the back cover to the support assembly 2.

[0035] Specifically, through the above structure, the support fixture 100 for the vehicle rear cover has sufficient support capacity and stability in multiple directions. Due to the protruding structures of the first base plate 11 and the second base plate 12 in different directions, the mounting assembly 1 can be connected to the rear cover through mounting points in multiple directions, such as the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, allowing the support fixture 100 to effectively distribute and withstand pressure and vibration from various directions. This design not only improves the overall strength and rigidity of the support fixture 100 but also makes it better adaptable to the installation and usage environment of the vehicle rear cover. Furthermore, since the stacking direction is perpendicular to the first direction D1 and the second direction D2, this structure can utilize space more effectively and has good support performance in all directions. It should be noted that the first direction D1 can be the length direction of the first base plate 11, and the second direction D2 can be the width direction of the first base plate 11.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the area of ​​the first base plate 11 protruding from the second base plate 12 is provided with mounting holes 13, and the rear cover is provided with fixing holes. The first base plate 11 is installed onto the rear cover by passing through the mounting holes 13 and fixing holes in sequence with fasteners, which can improve the installation strength and reliability of the support fixture 100.

[0037] Specifically, the aforementioned structure allows the support fixture 100 to be securely fixed to the vehicle's rear cover, mitigating or preventing loosening or detachment caused by vibration or other external forces. Simultaneously, by rationally designing the position and number of mounting holes 13, the stress distribution of the support fixture 100 can be further optimized, improving its overall load-bearing capacity. Furthermore, this installation method simplifies the installation process, reducing required steps and thus improving installation efficiency. The selection of fasteners also offers flexibility, allowing for the selection of different types of fasteners, such as bolts, rivets, and retaining pins, to meet various installation environments and requirements.

[0038] In one embodiment of this application, there are two mounting holes 13, and the distance between the two mounting holes 13 is between 102 mm and 103 mm.

[0039] Specifically, the number of mounting holes 13 improves stability and prevents loosening of the connection between the mounting component 1 and the rear cover. The support fixture 100 of this embodiment is installed at the vehicle rear cover latch position, and the positions of its fixing holes and the distance between adjacent fixing holes are pre-designed. The spacing is controlled between 102mm and 103mm, which improves the precise fit between the support fixture 100 and the vehicle rear cover, improving or preventing installation problems caused by excessively large or small spacing. Furthermore, the above structure also improves assembly efficiency and reduces adjustment and rework costs caused by improper mounting hole 13 positions. By precisely controlling the number and spacing of the mounting holes 13, the support fixture 100 of this embodiment enhances structural strength, installation reliability, and manufacturing consistency.

[0040] In one embodiment of this application, combined with Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the mounting assembly 1 also includes a substrate 14, which is disposed on the side of the first base plate 11 opposite to the second base plate 12, and each substrate 14 corresponds to and is connected to each mounting hole 13.

[0041] Specifically, the mounting hole 13 may include a threaded hole, and correspondingly, the base plate 14 may include a nut plate for improving bolt tightening. The base plate 14 enhances the stability and firmness of the connection between the mounting assembly 1 and the vehicle rear cover. The size of the base plate 14 can be determined according to actual needs to meet production requirements.

[0042] In one embodiment of this application, the gripping component 3 includes a circular handle, which is connected to the support component 2, and the radius of the circular handle is between 50 mm and 60 mm.

[0043] Specifically, by setting the radius of the circular handle between 50mm and 60mm, such as 50mm, 52mm, 54mm, 56mm, 58mm, and 60mm, it facilitates robot gripping and improves the stability of lifting the vehicle's rear cover. This size also enhances the efficiency of the gripping component 3 in various working environments. The circular handle connects to the connecting part 21 of the support component 2, ensuring a reasonable force transmission path and improving the overall reliability of the support fixture 100. Simultaneously, it helps improve the accuracy and efficiency of operation during the lifting or lowering of the vehicle's rear cover.

[0044] Furthermore, the circular handle is a component used for grasping and manipulation, designed with a circular ring structure to facilitate robot grasping. The radius of the circular handle is set between 50mm and 60mm to ensure that the handle size is moderate, neither too large to cause inconvenience in operation, nor too small to affect the grasping effect. The circular handle can be made of metal materials, such as stainless steel or alloy steel, to ensure strength and durability. The connecting part 21 can be connected to the circular handle by bolts or other fasteners. Other connection methods, such as welding or riveting, can also be used, depending on the overall design of the support fixture 100. This range of circular handle sizes can fit the hand shape of most robots, facilitating robot grasping and improving operational stability. Of course, in another embodiment, the grasping component 3 can also include handles of other shapes, such as square, rectangular, triangular, etc.

[0045] In one embodiment of this application, the mounting component 1 is installed inside the groove of the rear cover; the side length of the second base plate 12 is 0 mm to 1 mm smaller than the inner diameter of the groove.

[0046] Specifically, in this embodiment, the support fixture 100 is installed inside the groove of the back cover via the mounting component 1, so that the entire mounting surface of the support fixture 100 is inside the back cover. This reduces or avoids the impact on the paint application of the back cover, improving the quality of the paint application. The side length of the second base plate 12 is 0mm to 1mm smaller than the inner diameter of the groove, for example, 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, 0.8mm, 1mm, etc. This means that the gap between the second base plate 12 and the inner wall of the groove is between 0mm and 1mm, which can serve as a positioning and limiting function, facilitating the positioning and installation of the second base plate 12.

[0047] In one specific embodiment, the mounting component 1 can be constructed by overlapping and welding two 4.5mm thick steel plates over a large area to improve stability and robustness. The mounting hole 13 can be M6mm in size to correspond to the fixing hole on the back cover. The M6mm bolts can meet the stability and robustness requirements of the connection between the mounting component 1 and the back cover. The inner diameter of the groove on the back cover can be 70mm wide and 80mm long, and the side length of the second base plate 12 can be 70mm wide and 79mm long. On the one hand, the 1mm gap facilitates the installation of the second base plate 12, reduces the error range, and improves or avoids situations where the second base plate 12 is too large or cannot be installed for other reasons. On the other hand, the groove can also be used to position and limit the second base plate 12, improving stability. The support component 2 can be constructed by bending and welding two 10mm diameter steel bars to form a U-shaped frame structure together with the second base plate 12 to provide support. The gripping component 3 can be a 10mm diameter steel bar, forming a ring with an R55±5mm diameter. The 10mm thickness meets the stability and firmness requirements for robot gripping. It should be noted that all the above structures require a smooth, burr-free surface.

[0048] Of course, in other specific embodiments, the dimensions and connection methods of the components of the supporting fixture 100 can also be adjusted according to the actual situation, which will not be elaborated here.

[0049] It should be noted that the terms "horizontal" and "vertical" do not imply that the components must be absolutely horizontal or vertical, but rather that they can be slightly tilted. Similarly, the terms "parallel" and "perpendicular" do not imply that the components are absolutely parallel or perpendicular, but rather that they can have a certain angular deviation. For example, "horizontal" simply means that its direction is more horizontal relative to "vertical," and does not mean that the structure must be completely horizontal, but rather that it can be slightly tilted. In addition, the orientations or positional relationships indicated by terms such as "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," and "counterclockwise" are based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientations or positional relationships that are commonly used when the product of this application is in use. They are only for the purpose of describing the embodiments of this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element 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 this application.

[0050] It is understood that the term "multiple" in this document means at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specified. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. The term "and / or" is merely a description of the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships can exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. Additionally, the character " / " in this document generally indicates that the preceding and following related objects are in an "or" relationship.

[0051] The above description is merely an embodiment of this application and does not limit the patent scope of this application. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this application's specification and drawings, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this application.
