Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of mechanical engineering technology, specifically relating to a positioning device for improving the transmission accuracy of a torque converter assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional torque converter assembly processes, positioning accuracy and stability have always been key factors affecting transmission efficiency and overall performance. Previous positioning methods relied heavily on simple mechanical clamping or fixed support structures, which often fall short of high-precision positioning requirements and are inadequate in terms of ease of operation and workpiece protection. Due to the lack of effective buffering mechanisms and precise positioning functions, traditional methods easily lead to surface damage and installation errors in the torque converter assembly, thus affecting its transmission efficiency and service life. With the development of industrial technology, the demand for devices capable of achieving efficient, accurate, and safe positioning is increasing, aiming to solve these problems in existing technologies and improve overall production efficiency.

[0003] In the existing technology, the traditional positioning method of torque converter assembly mostly adopts simple mechanical clamping or fixed support structure, which has problems such as low positioning accuracy, unstable clamping, and inconvenient operation. Due to the lack of effective buffering and elastic protection measures, the surface of the torque converter is easily damaged during the clamping process, affecting its transmission performance and service life.

[0007] The mounting mechanism includes a mounting component, the mounting component having a chassis and a mounting groove formed on the chassis, and the torque converter assembly being detachably disposed in the mounting groove;

[0008] The positioning mechanism includes a drive component and a limit component. The drive component is connected to the limit component and is used to drive the limit component to move along a preset direction to position and limit the torque converter assembly.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the driving component includes a knob and a limiting groove. The knob is rotatably mounted on the mounting member, and the limiting groove extends circumferentially along the knob. The limiting component is connected to the limiting groove to drive the limiting component to move radially when the knob is rotated.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the limiting component includes a limiting plate and a positioning plate. The limiting plate is slidably engaged with the limiting groove, and the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate facing the mounting groove. It can move closer to or further away from the torque converter assembly during the rotation of the knob to achieve clamping or release.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the contact surface of the positioning disk is an elastic contact surface, which is made of rubber material or elastic metal sheet, and is used to avoid damaging the surface of the torque converter assembly during the clamping process.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the bottom of the mounting groove is provided with a buffer pad layer, which is made of soft material and is used to support and protect the bottom of the torque converter assembly.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the outer periphery of the knob is provided with anti-slip texture to enhance the feel and friction when the operator rotates the knob.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By improving the structural design of the positioning device, the problems of low positioning accuracy, unstable clamping, and easy damage to the workpiece surface in the traditional torque converter assembly positioning method are effectively solved.

The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0024] Example

[0025] Reference Figures 1-4 This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides a positioning device for improving the transmission accuracy of a torque converter assembly, comprising:

[0026] The mounting mechanism 100 includes a mounting component 101. The mounting component 101 has a chassis 1011 and a mounting groove 1012 opened on the chassis 1011. The torque converter assembly is detachably disposed in the mounting groove 1012.

[0027] The positioning mechanism 200 includes a drive component 201 and a limit component 202. The drive component 201 is connected to the limit component 202 and is used to drive the limit component 202 to move along a preset direction to position and limit the torque converter assembly.

[0028] Specifically, the drive assembly 201 includes a knob 2011 and a limiting groove 2012. The knob 2011 is rotatably mounted on the mounting member 101. The limiting groove 2012 extends circumferentially along the knob 2011. The limiting assembly 202 is connected to the limiting groove 2012 to drive the limiting assembly 202 to move radially when the knob 2011 is rotated.

[0029] It should be noted that the drive assembly 201 achieves its mechanical transmission function through the cooperation of the knob 2011 and the limiting groove 2012. The knob 2011 is rotatably mounted on the mounting part 101, allowing the operator to control the movement of the limiting assembly 202 by manually rotating the knob 2011. The limiting groove 2012 extends circumferentially along the knob, and its shape and position are designed to stably guide the limiting assembly 202 to move radially during rotation, thereby achieving precise positioning of the torque converter assembly.

[0030] Specifically, the limiting component 202 includes a limiting plate 2021 and a positioning plate 2022. The limiting plate 2021 is slidably engaged with the limiting groove 2012. The positioning plate 2022 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate 2021 facing the mounting groove 1012, and can move closer to or away from the torque converter assembly during the rotation of the knob 2011 to achieve clamping or release.

[0031] It should be noted that the limiting disk 2021 and the limiting groove 2012 in the limiting assembly 202 adopt a sliding fit to ensure that the limiting assembly 202 can move smoothly and reliably radially under the action of the knob rotation. The positioning disk 2022 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting disk 2021 facing the mounting groove 1012, and moves synchronously with the limiting disk during the rotation of the knob, thereby realizing the clamping or releasing operation of the torque converter assembly, improving the ease of operation and positioning accuracy of the device.

[0032] Specifically, the contact surface of the positioning plate 2022 is an elastic contact surface, which is made of rubber material or elastic metal sheet, and is used to avoid damaging the surface of the torque converter assembly during clamping.

[0033] It should be noted that the contact surface of the positioning plate 2022 is made of an elastic material, such as rubber or a flexible metal sheet, which can effectively absorb vibration and reduce wear on the torque converter assembly surface during clamping. This elastic contact surface not only improves clamping stability but also avoids the risk of damage caused by rigid contact, thereby further ensuring the integrity and transmission accuracy of the torque converter assembly during assembly or testing.

[0034] Specifically, the bottom of the mounting slot 1012 is provided with a buffer pad layer, which is made of soft material and is used to support and protect the bottom of the torque converter assembly.

[0035] It should be noted that the bottom of the mounting slot 1012 is equipped with a buffer pad layer made of soft materials such as silicone or foam plastic, which provides flexible support and prevents the torque converter assembly from being damaged by impacts during placement. At the same time, this buffer pad layer also plays a role in shock absorption, which helps to improve the stability and safety of the entire positioning device during use.

[0036] Specifically, the outer circumference of the knob 2011 is provided with anti-slip texture to enhance the feel and friction when the operator rotates the knob 2011.

[0037] It should be noted that the knob 2011 features anti-slip textures on its outer periphery. This is designed to enhance the tactile feedback and friction when rotating the knob, preventing slippage. This design improves operational convenience and accuracy, making it particularly suitable for applications requiring frequent adjustments to the positioning status, while also enhancing the user-friendliness of the human-computer interaction.

[0038] In use, the torque converter assembly is first detachably placed into the mounting slot 1012 of the mounting member 101 in the mounting mechanism 100. A buffer pad is provided at the bottom of the mounting slot to ensure the torque converter assembly is placed stably while preventing potential damage from hard contact. Next, the operator can manually rotate the knob 2011 in the drive assembly 201. The knob has anti-slip textures on its outer circumference to enhance feel and friction, preventing slippage and improving operational accuracy. As the knob rotates, the limiting slot 2012 extends circumferentially along the knob and slides in conjunction with the limiting plate 2021 in the limiting assembly 202, allowing the limiting assembly to move smoothly and reliably radially. The positioning plate 2022 is fixedly connected to the side of the limiting plate facing the mounting slot and moves synchronously with the limiting plate during knob rotation, gradually approaching or moving away from the torque converter assembly to achieve clamping or releasing functions. Notably, the contact surface of the positioning plate is made of an elastic material, such as rubber or a flexible metal sheet. This not only improves clamping stability but also effectively absorbs vibration and reduces wear on the torque converter assembly surface, protecting its integrity. The entire process is simple and efficient, ensuring precise positioning of the torque converter assembly while minimizing the risk of any unnecessary damage during operation, greatly improving overall work efficiency and safety.

[0039] In summary, by improving the structural design of the positioning device, the problems of low positioning accuracy, unstable clamping, and easy damage to the workpiece surface in traditional torque converter assembly positioning methods are effectively solved. The flexible protection mechanism combining elastic contact surface and buffer pad layer not only improves clamping stability but also reduces the risk of wear on the torque converter assembly surface. At the same time, by driving the limit component 202 to move through the knob 2011, the convenience of operation and positioning accuracy are improved simultaneously, effectively ensuring the transmission performance and service life of the torque converter assembly and meeting the needs of high-precision assembly and efficient production.
