Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling and fixture technology, specifically to a tooling for assembling an EPB output shaft. Background Technology
[0002] The EPB (Electronic Parking Brake Motor) is the core actuator of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) system. It converts electrical energy into mechanical energy to drive the brake calipers, enabling the vehicle to park and release. Compared to traditional mechanical handbrakes, EPB motors offer advantages such as high automation, ease of operation, and strong integration, making them an essential component of modern automotive braking systems. The EPB motor output shaft is one of the core components enabling the EPB motor's parking braking function. Its main function is to convert the motor's rotational motion into mechanical force, which is then transmitted to the brake calipers via a transmission mechanism (such as a screw or gear), clamping or releasing the brake pads to complete the vehicle's parking brake operation.
[0003] The output shaft of an EPB motor requires tooling for assembly. However, for output shafts of different diameters and lengths, separate tooling is often required for assembly, resulting in low applicability, high cost, and potential impact on assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

A limit ring is detachably provided inside the mounting hole. A limit plate is horizontally fixedly connected to the top of the limit ring. An upper limit hole is formed at the center of the limit plate and the limit ring. A pair of limiting mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the base plate. Each limiting mechanism includes a threaded sleeve, and a lead screw is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded sleeve.
[0007] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw, and an elastic top block is fixedly connected to the top of the handle.
[0008] Furthermore, several springs connect the bottom plate and the top plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the lower limit hole and the upper limit hole are coaxially arranged, and the top edge of the limit plate and the top of the top plate are provided with a number of threaded holes around the upper limit hole. The limit plate and the top plate are detachably connected by a bolt assembly.
[0010] Furthermore, a locking mechanism is provided at the connection between the limiting block and the side wall of the base plate.

Detailed Implementation
[0020] 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.
[0021] Please see Figures 1-4The EPB output shaft assembly fixture of this embodiment includes a base plate 1. A plurality of guide rods 3 are vertically fixedly connected to the top edge of the base plate 1. A top plate 2 is horizontally slidably connected between the guide rods 3. A mounting groove is provided on the side wall of the base plate 1. A limit block 5 is detachably provided inside the mounting groove. A lower limit hole 11 is provided at the end of the limit block 5 facing the center of the base plate 1 for limiting the bottom end of the EPB output shaft. A mounting hole is provided at the center of the top plate 2. A limit ring 9 is detachably provided inside the mounting hole. A limit plate 7 is horizontally fixedly connected to the top of the limit ring 9. An upper limit hole 10 is provided at the center of the limit plate 7 and the limit ring 9 for limiting the bottom end of the EPB output shaft. The top of the output shaft is limited. A pair of limiting mechanisms 8 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the base plate 1 to limit the assembly distance of the EPB output shaft. The limiting mechanism 8 includes a threaded sleeve 801, and a lead screw 802 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the threaded sleeve 801. A handle 803 is fixedly connected to the top of the lead screw 802, and an elastic top block 804 is fixedly connected to the top of the handle 803. Several springs 4 are connected between the base plate 1 and the top plate 2. The lower limiting hole 11 and the upper limiting hole 10 are coaxially arranged. Several threaded holes are opened around the upper limiting hole 10 on the top edge of the limiting plate 7 and the top of the top plate 2. The limiting plate 7 and the top plate 2 are detachably connected by a bolt assembly. During assembly, select a limiting block 5 and a limiting plate 7 that match the diameter of the EPB output shaft and install them in the middle of the base plate 1 and top plate 2 respectively. When installing the limiting block 5, insert the end of the limiting block 5 with the lower limiting hole 11 into the mounting groove on the side wall of the base plate 1, and then fix the limiting block 5 by the locking mechanism 6. When installing the limiting plate 7, insert the limiting ring 9 at the bottom of the limiting plate 7 into the mounting hole in the middle of the top plate 2, and then connect the limiting plate 7 to the top plate 2 by the bolt assembly. Then rotate the handle 803 to make the lead screw 802 rise and fall inside the threaded sleeve 801. When the lead screw 802 moves, it drives the elastic top block 804 at its top to move accordingly until the height of the elastic top block 804 is the same as that of the EPB output shaft. Stop when the assembly distance matches; after adjustment, insert the top of the EPB output shaft into the limit block 5 along the lower limit block 11 until the bottom of the EPB output shaft is flush with the bottom of the limit block 5. At this time, the EPB output shaft can be limited through the lower limit hole 11. Then, place the workpiece to be assembled in the upper limit hole 10 in the center of the limit plate 7. The workpiece to be assembled is limited through the upper limit hole 10. Finally, the pressing mechanism applies downward pressure to the top plate 2 and the workpiece to be assembled, so that the top plate 2 and the workpiece to be assembled move downward along the guide rod 3 until the bottom of the top plate 2 abuts against the top of the elastic top block 4. At this time, the workpiece to be assembled is pressed onto the top of the EPB output shaft, realizing the assembly of the EPB output shaft.
[0022] A locking mechanism 6 is provided at the connection between the limiting block 5 and the side wall of the base plate 1. The locking mechanism 6 includes a sliding groove 601, which is horizontally set at the connection between the base plate 1 and the limiting block 5. A locking block 604 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 601. A locking groove 602 is provided at the connection between the limiting block 5 and the sliding groove 601, and the sliding groove 601 and the locking groove 602 are in communication. A stop block 605 is fixedly connected to the end of the locking block 604 away from the limiting block 5. A limiting groove 603 is provided at the end of the sliding groove 601 away from the limiting block 5, and the stop block 605 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove 603. When the locking mechanism 6 fixes the limiting block 5, the locking block 604 slides towards the locking groove 602 until the locking block 604 is locked into the inside of the locking groove 602, thereby limiting the locking block 5. When the locking block 604 moves, it drives the stop block 605 at its other end to move along the limiting groove 603. The stop block 605 and the limiting groove 603 limit the locking block 604 and prevent the locking block 604 from slipping off.
[0023] Working principle: During assembly, select a limiting block 5 and a limiting plate 7 that match the diameter of the EPB output shaft and install them in the middle of the base plate 1 and top plate 2 respectively. When installing the limiting block 5, insert the end of the limiting block 5 with the lower limiting hole 11 into the mounting groove on the side wall of the base plate 1, and then fix the limiting block 5 by the locking mechanism 6. When fixing, slide the locking block 604 towards the locking groove 602 until the locking block 604 is engaged in the inside of the locking groove 602, thereby limiting the limiting block 5. When the locking block 604 moves, it drives the stop block 605 at its other end to move along the limiting groove 603. The stop block 605 and the limiting groove 603 limit the locking block 604 and prevent the locking block 604 from slipping out. When installing the limiting plate 7, insert the limiting ring 9 at the bottom of the limiting plate 7 into the mounting hole in the middle of the top plate 2, and then connect the limiting plate 7 to the top plate 2 by the bolt assembly. Then turn the handle 803 so that the lead screw 802 Inside the threaded sleeve 801, the screw 802 moves, causing the elastic top block 804 at its top to move accordingly, until the height of the elastic top block 804 matches the assembly distance of the EPB output shaft. After adjustment, the top of the EPB output shaft is inserted into the limit block 5 along the lower limit block 11 until the bottom of the EPB output shaft is flush with the bottom of the limit block 5. At this time, the EPB output shaft can be limited through the lower limit hole 11. Then, the workpiece to be assembled is placed in the upper limit hole 10 in the center of the limit plate 7. The workpiece to be assembled is limited through the upper limit hole 10. Finally, the pressing mechanism applies downward pressure to the top plate 2 and the workpiece to be assembled, causing the top plate 2 and the workpiece to be assembled to move downward along the guide rod 3 until the bottom of the top plate 2 abuts against the top of the elastic top block 4. At this time, the workpiece to be assembled is pressed onto the top of the EPB output shaft, realizing the assembly of the EPB output shaft.
