[0054] The technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0055] like Figure 1-6 As shown, a vehicle welding fixture of this utility model includes a fixed base 1, a support base 2, a lifting base 3, a pneumatic clamp 4, a first cylinder 5, and a connecting plate 6.

[0056] The support seat 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the fixed base 1. Several ribs are provided between the support seat 2 and the fixed base 1 to increase the strength of the support seat 2 and the fixed base 1. Several bolt mounting holes are provided vertically on the fixed base 1 to install bolts to fix the fixture on the welding fixture.

[0057] The lifting seat 3 is vertically slidably mounted on one side of the support seat 2; one end of the pneumatic clamp 4 is fixedly mounted on the lifting seat 3, and the other end is engaged with the top of the support seat 2 to clamp the workpiece; when the top of the lifting seat 3 supports the workpiece, one end of the pneumatic clamp 4 flips towards the top of the lifting seat 3 to clamp and fix the workpiece on the lifting seat 3.

[0058] The first cylinder 5 is located on the side of the support 2 away from the lifting seat 3. The cylinder body of the first cylinder 5 is hinged to the top of the fixed base 1. The output end of the first cylinder 5 passes through the support 2 and extends to the bottom of the lifting seat 3. There are two connecting plates 6 that are opposite each other. One end of the upper connecting plate 6 is hinged to the bottom of the lifting seat 3, and one end of the lower connecting plate 6 is hinged to the top of the fixed base 1. The opposite ends of the two connecting plates 6 are hinged to the output end of the first cylinder 5. The first cylinder 5 is used to drive the two connecting plates 6 to rotate vertically so that the lifting seat 3 moves up and down.

[0059] When welding products, if the current welding height cannot meet the welding requirements of subsequent products, the clamping height needs to be adjusted. In the existing technology, the clamping height is usually adjusted by replacing the welding fixture with a taller one, which is a complicated and inconvenient process.

[0060] Compared with the prior art, the vehicle welding fixture of this utility model drives two connecting plates 6 to rotate vertically through the first cylinder 5, so that the lifting seat 3 moves upward. The lifting seat 3 drives the pneumatic clamp 4 to rise, thereby realizing the adjustment of the clamping height. The process is relatively simple and convenient, which can effectively improve production efficiency. At the same time, it can also widen the welding channel below the product to facilitate welding. That is, when the welding channel below the workpiece to be welded is narrow, the workpiece can be raised by adjusting the clamping height to increase the vertical width of the welding channel, so as to facilitate the welding torch to enter the welding channel for welding operations.

[0061] In the above structure, to prevent interference between the first cylinder 5 and the support seat 2 during its extension and retraction, a through hole 201 is provided transversely on the support seat 2, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the width and height of the through hole 201 are both greater than the diameter of the first cylinder 5. After the cylinder end of the first cylinder 5 is hinged to the fixed base 1, the output end of the first cylinder 5 is passed through the through hole 201 and then hinged to the connecting plate 6. When the first cylinder 5 extends or retracts, the output shaft of the first cylinder 5 moves inside the through hole 201.

[0062] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the two connecting plates 6 form a hinge structure. To improve the stability of the hinge structure after deformation, a limiting mechanism 7 is set on the side of the connecting plate 6 away from the support seat 2. One end of the limiting mechanism 7 is fixed to the top of the fixed base 1, and the other end selectively abuts against the side end of the connecting plate 6. By setting one end of the limiting mechanism 7 to selectively abut against the side end of the connecting plate 6, it is convenient to limit the connecting plate 6, so as to fix the posture of the connecting plate 6 after flipping, improve the stability of the hinge structure after deformation, and thus keep the height of the lifting seat 3 stable, so that the clamping height of the subsequent uniform products is more uniform.

[0063] Specifically, the limiting mechanism 7 includes a threaded seat 71 and a limiting bolt 72, wherein, as Figure 2 As shown, the threaded seat 71 is fixed on the fixed base 1; one end of the limiting bolt 72 passes through the threaded seat 71 laterally and selectively abuts against the side end of the connecting plate 6, and the limiting bolt 72 is screwed to the threaded seat 71; the limiting bolt 72 is screwed on so that one end abuts against the connecting plate 6, thereby limiting the connecting plate 6.

[0064] In a vehicle welding fixture of this utility model, a guide rail 8 and a slider 9 are further provided between the support seat 2 and the lifting seat 3, wherein, for example Figure 2As shown, one guide rail 8 is provided on each side of the through hole 201. The two guide rails 8 are parallel and fixed vertically on the side of the support 2. A slider 9 is slidably provided on each guide rail 8. The end of the slider 9 away from the guide rail 8 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 3. When the first cylinder 5 drives the two connecting plates 6 to rotate vertically so that the lifting seat 3 moves up and down, the slider 9 slides vertically on the guide rail 8 for lifting and guiding.

[0065] In a vehicle welding fixture of the present invention, the lifting seat 3 includes a base plate 31, an extension arm 32, and a pad 33.

[0066] Among them, such as Figure 3 As shown, the base plate 31 is fixedly connected to the lifting seat 3, and the bottom of the base plate 31 is hinged to the upper end of the connecting plate 6 above it; one end of the extension arm 32 is fixedly connected to the base plate 31, and the other end is fixedly connected to the pneumatic clamp 4. The extension arm 32 is used to position the pneumatic clamp 4 on the side of the support seat 2, which facilitates the arrangement of the pneumatic clamp 4; the pad block 33 is detachably set on the top of the base plate 31 for easy replacement.

[0067] In addition, such as Figure 3 As shown, the lifting seat 3 also includes a limiting block 34, an upper bracket 35, a lower bracket 36, and a rubber block 37.

[0068] The limiting block 34 is fixed to the side of the base plate 31; one end of the upper bracket 35 is fixedly connected to the side of the support seat 2, and the other end extends above the limiting block 34; one end of the lower bracket 36 is fixedly connected to the side of the support seat 2, and the other end extends below the limiting block 34; one rubber block 37 is fixed on each of the opposite ends of the lower bracket 36 and the upper bracket 35; the limiting block 34 is disposed between the two rubber blocks 37.

[0069] When the lifting seat 3 moves up and down, the limit block 34 moves between the upper support 35 and the lower support 36 to limit the travel and prevent derailment.

[0070] In a vehicle welding fixture of this utility model, the pneumatic clamp 4 includes a housing 41, a second cylinder 42, a rotating shaft 43, a clamp arm 44, a hinge plate 45, and a pin 46.

[0071] Among them, such as Figure 6As shown, the outer casing 41 is fixed to the end of the extension arm 32 away from the base plate 31; the second cylinder 42 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the outer casing 41, and the output end of the second cylinder 42 extends upward through the bottom of the outer casing 41 to the interior of the outer casing 41; the rotating shaft 43 extends horizontally through the top of the outer casing 41 and is rotatably connected, and the two ends of the rotating shaft 43 are fixedly connected to one end of the clamp arm 44; the end of the clamp arm 44 away from the rotating shaft 43 extends to the top of the support seat 2; the hinge plate 45 is disposed inside the outer casing 41, one end of the hinge plate 45 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 43, and the other end is provided with a waist-shaped hole 401 extending horizontally along the upper edge; the pin 46 extends horizontally through the waist-shaped hole 401 and is slidably connected, and the pin 46 is fixed to the upper end of the output end of the second cylinder 42.

[0072] When the second cylinder 42 extends or retracts, its output end drives the pin 46 to move up and down. During this process, the pin 46 changes position in the oblong hole 401 and forces the hinge plate 45 to flip up and down. During the flipping process, the hinge plate 45 drives the rotating shaft 43 to rotate, and the rotating shaft 43 drives the clamp arm 44 to flip up and down to achieve the clamping and releasing actions. In the clamping state, as Figure 6 As shown, the end of the hinge plate 45 away from the pivot 43 extends obliquely upward; conversely, in the released state, the end of the hinge plate 45 away from the pivot 43 extends obliquely downward, which is not shown in the illustration.

[0073] The method of using the vehicle welding fixture of this utility model is as follows:

[0074] When the clamping height needs to be changed, the first cylinder 5 drives the two connecting plates 6 to flip vertically, so that one end of the upper connecting plate 6 pulls the lifting seat 3 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the height. When the lifting seat 3 is in place, the limit bolt 72 is screwed on so that one end of it abuts against one side of the connecting plate 6, which is used to limit the connecting plate 6 and maintain the posture of the connecting plate 6 after flipping.

[0075] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
