[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses a positioning fixture for vehicle body welding, including a base 1. An assembly frame 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1. T-shaped grooves 3 are provided on both the left and right sides of the assembly frame 2. A support mechanism 4 is movably installed inside the T-shaped grooves 3. The support mechanism 4 includes a positioning plate 401. A U-shaped groove 402 is provided on the outer surface of the positioning plate 401. A rotating wheel 403 is rotatably installed inside the U-shaped groove 402. A load-bearing arm 404 is installed on both sides of the positioning plate 401 near the middle of the assembly frame 2. A positioning mechanism 5 is movably installed on the surface of the load-bearing arm 404. A drive motor 6 is fixedly installed on one side of the base 1. A drive gear 7 is fixedly installed at the end of the output end of the drive motor 6. A transmission belt 8 is meshed with the surface of the drive gear 7. A transmission gear 9 is fixedly installed in the middle of the positioning plate 401 near the drive motor 6. The transmission gear 9 is meshed with the inner ring of the top of the transmission belt 8.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3Through the structural design of the assembly frame 2, support mechanism 4, positioning mechanism 5, drive motor 6, and transmission gear 9, and through the cooperation between the structures, the function of increasing the versatility of the fixture is realized. This allows the entire vehicle body to rotate, so that the welding equipment and the vehicle body do not need to be frequently adjusted in position and posture to weld different parts of the vehicle body. At the same time, rotary welding also makes it easier for operators to observe and control the welding process, promptly detect and deal with welding defects, and further ensure welding quality.

[0025] The top of the load-bearing arm 404 has a vertical hole 10. A dual-axis motor 11 is fixedly installed in the middle part of the side of the load-bearing arm 404 near the middle part of the assembly frame 2. The output ends on both sides of the dual-axis motor 11 are set as threaded shafts 12.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The vertical hole 10 facilitates the provision of movement space for the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 501, thereby ensuring that the L-shaped top plate 502 can follow the positioning mechanism 5 to move. The dual-axis motor 11 and threaded shaft 12 facilitate the use of rotation to drive the U-shaped connecting frame 13 to make linear movement, so that the subsequent abutment plate 14 can provide abutment positioning for the vehicle body. The U-shaped connecting frame 13 facilitates the provision of installation space for the abutment plate 14.

[0027] The threaded shaft 12 is meshed with a U-shaped connecting bracket 13. Each of the two corners of the top of the U-shaped connecting bracket 13 is equipped with a stop plate 14. A through hole 15 is opened in the middle part of the top of the U-shaped connecting bracket 13.

[0028] Reference Figure 4 The abutment plate 14 facilitates the clamping position at the root of the vehicle body, thereby ensuring stability during the subsequent vehicle body welding process. The through hole 15 facilitates the extension space of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 501, thereby ensuring the subsequent insertion and removal of the vehicle body into the device.

[0029] The positioning mechanism 5 includes a hydraulic cylinder 501, which is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the U-shaped connecting frame 13. An L-shaped top plate 502 is fixedly installed at the end of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 501, and steering seats 503 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bottom of the L-shaped top plate 502.

[0030] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The hydraulic cylinder 501 and the L-shaped top plate 502 work together to press down on the top of the fixed position of the vehicle body, thereby ensuring the stability of the vehicle body during subsequent rotation.

[0031] A positioning rod 16 is fixedly installed inside the steering seat 503. A connector 17 is sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod 16. A threaded rod 18 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the connector 17. A locking nut 19 is meshed on the surface of the threaded rod 18.

[0032] Reference Figure 4 The positioning rod 16 facilitates the installation space of the connector 17 and limits the connector 17 to ensure that the subsequent connector 17 can drive the threaded rod 18 to revolve. The threaded rod 18 facilitates the installation space of the clamping nut 19 to ensure that the subsequent clamping nut 19 cooperates with the abutment plate 14 to further position the L-shaped top plate 502, thereby improving the safety of the device.

[0033] A positioning groove 20 is provided on one side of the abutment plate 14, and the position of the positioning groove 20 is adapted to the steering seat 503.

[0034] Reference Figure 4 The positioning groove 20 facilitates the overlap of the threaded rod 18 and the abutment plate 14, and at the same time, it works with the abutment nut 19 to fix the threaded rod 18.

[0035] Working principle: When using this device, after the vehicle body is supported by the load-bearing arm 404, the dual-axis motor 11, in conjunction with the threaded shaft 12, drives the U-shaped connecting frame 13 to move horizontally on the load-bearing arm 404, so that the position of the positioning mechanism 5 corresponds to the positioning point of the vehicle body parts. After the abutment plate 14 contacts the vehicle body, the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 501 drives the L-shaped top plate 502 to press down. The L-shaped top plate 502 holds the vehicle body, and the connecting piece 17 rotates on the surface of the positioning rod 16. The threaded rod 18 is embedded in the positioning groove 20. After the abutment plate 14 is stacked by rotating the tightening nut 19, the positioning and clamping of the vehicle body is completed. The drive motor 6 is started, and the drive motor 6 drives the drive gear 7 to rotate. The drive gear 7 transmits power to the transmission gear 9 on the positioning plate 401 through the transmission belt 8, so that the positioning plate 401 rotates in the T-shaped slide groove 3. The positioning plate 401, in conjunction with the load-bearing arm 404 and the positioning mechanism 5, drives the vehicle body to rotate until it reaches the predetermined angle, and welding continues.

[0036] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this utility model. Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely illustrative of the principles of this utility model. Various changes and modifications can be made to this utility model without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claimed utility model.
