Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle crossbeam assembly technology, specifically to a workbench for a vehicle crossbeam. Background Technology
[0002] As a lateral support component in the vehicle frame, the vehicle crossbeam, together with the longitudinal beams, forms the stable basic framework of the frame. This disperses impact forces from different directions during vehicle operation, ensuring the overall stability of the vehicle structure and preventing energy concentration in one area that could lead to severe structural damage, thus providing more reliable safety protection for occupants. Furthermore, the vehicle crossbeam provides mounting positions and stable support for numerous automotive components such as the engine and transmission, ensuring these components maintain relatively stable positions and perform their respective functions during vehicle operation. In the manufacturing process of the vehicle crossbeam, the selected raw materials require pre-treatment. Sheet metal or profiles are pre-cut using cutting equipment to form initial blanks. Next, the initial blanks are shaped using stamping equipment to gradually process them into the crossbeam structure conforming to the design. After shaping, the formed crossbeam structure is placed on a workbench for welding bolts or locating pins. Simultaneously, burrs, flash, and other residues generated during the forming process are removed to ensure a smooth surface for assembly with other frame components.
[0003] The workbench is crucial for assembling vehicle crossbeams. Bolts, pins, and other components need to be placed on the workbench for assembly. Since these components vary in size, placing multiple parts together on the workbench surface easily leads to mixing. To effectively distinguish these different types of parts, multiple boxes are typically used to store each type, allowing for quick and accurate selection when needed. However, placing multiple boxes directly on the workbench surface not only obstructs the crossbeam placement area but also risks knocking them off during crossbeam movement, thus hindering assembly. To address this, shelves are added to the workbench, allowing boxes to be placed separately to reduce desktop space. However, this method still has drawbacks: the shelves offer limited storage options, are mounted above the desktop, and are designed to be horizontal to prevent boxes from slipping. This forces assembly workers to observe the position of the boxes and their components from above the shelves in order to accurately retrieve the necessary parts for assembly. This method of observation and retrieval not only increases the workload of assembly workers but may also affect the efficiency and accuracy of the assembly operation. Therefore, the workbench for vehicle crossbeams has shortcomings. By improving the workbench to facilitate the retrieval of parts for assembly, the assembly efficiency of vehicle crossbeams can be improved. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a workbench for vehicle crossbeams that facilitates viewing the position of boxes and components and makes it convenient to pick up components for assembly operations, thereby overcoming the deficiencies in existing technologies.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a workbench for a vehicle crossbeam, including a support and a table horizontally arranged on the support. A fixing plate is inclinedly arranged above the table, and the top of the fixing plate is installed on the support. Several partitions are arranged on the top surface of the fixing plate, and a box with an open top is arranged between adjacent partitions. The bottom surface of the box is in contact with the top surface of the fixing plate. Two stops are arranged on the top of the box, and the two stops are respectively installed on the outer walls of the two sides of the box. The stops are located between the top of the partitions and the top of the fixing plate. A fixing hole is opened at the bottom of the fixing plate, and a fixing hole is arranged below the fixing hole. A fixed box with an open top is mounted on the bottom surface of a fixed plate. Inside the fixed box, there are a fixed block, a spring, and a fixed rod. The top of the fixed block protrudes from a fixed hole, and the protruding part of the fixed block contacts the side wall of the box away from the top of the fixed plate. The distance between the fixed block and the top of the partition is not greater than the length of the box. The top of the fixed rod is mounted on the bottom of the fixed block, and the spring is fitted onto the fixed rod. The two ends of the spring contact the bottom plate of the fixed box and the fixed block, respectively. The bottom plate of the fixed box has a sleeve hole, which is fitted onto the fixed rod, and the bottom of the fixed rod protrudes from the sleeve hole.
[0006] Preferably, the fixing plate has at least two fixing holes, and multiple fixing holes are equally spaced at the bottom of the fixing plate. The number of the box, fixing box, fixing block, spring and fixing rod all match the number of fixing holes. A circular block is provided below each of the multiple fixing rods. The circular block is installed on the bottom end of the fixing rod, and the diameter of the circular block is not less than the diameter of the fixing rod. A pull ring is provided below the circular block and is installed on the bottom end of the fixing block. A fixing strip is provided below the fixing box. The fixing strip has multiple through holes, and the multiple through holes are respectively fitted onto the multiple fixing rods. The diameter of the through holes and the diameter of the fitting holes both match the diameter of the fixing rods.
[0007] Preferably, a push plate is provided above the box body, and fixing frames are horizontally provided on both sides of the push plate. One end of the fixing frame is installed on the support, and the other end of the fixing frame is located above the middle of the fixing plate. A fixing groove is opened in the middle of the fixing frame, and the fixing groove is opened along one side of the fixing frame to the other side. The end of the push plate is fitted into the fixing groove. A support rod is provided on the outside of the push plate. The support rod is located outside the fixing frame. A nut is threaded on the support rod. One side of the nut is in contact with the fixing frame. A push block is provided at an angle below the push plate. The push block is perpendicular to the fixing plate. The top of the push block is installed on the push plate. The height of the push block is not less than the distance from the fixing groove to the box body. A push rod is provided on the outside of the push plate. One end of the push rod is installed on the push plate.
[0008] Preferably, the box body has a groove on the side away from the top of the fixed plate. The groove is located on the top surface of the box body, and the height of the groove gradually increases along the direction away from the top of the fixed plate. The height of the push block is not greater than the height of the groove on the side away from the top of the fixed plate.
[0009] Preferably, a gasket made of elastic material is provided between the stop block and the partition plate, and the gasket is installed on the stop block; a bracket is provided below the fixing plate, the bottom surface of the fixing plate is installed on the bracket, and one side of the bracket is installed on the support.
[0010] Preferably, one side of the tabletop is provided with a power strip and an L-shaped support plate, the vertical plates of the power strip and the support plate are respectively mounted on the support, and the horizontal plate of the support plate is provided with support holes.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom end of the support has a plurality of threaded holes, which are evenly distributed along the edge of the support. Support legs are threaded into each of the threaded holes and are mounted on the support through the threaded holes.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: First, the tabletop provides a flat and stable surface for placing vehicle crossbeams, facilitating assembly. An inclined fixing plate above the tabletop allows the boxes to be tilted, with the tilted opening facing the assembly personnel. This allows personnel to view the box's position and the detailed placement of its components from one side. Several partitions on the top surface of the fixing plate not only separate multiple boxes but also limit the movement of blocks on the boxes, preventing them from slipping off the fixing plate. Furthermore, the fixed box, spring, and fixing rod control the raising and lowering of the fixing blocks, using them to block the boxes. Since the distance between the fixing block and the stop is no greater than the length of the box, two placement options are provided for the boxes, allowing assembly personnel to retrieve the components inside.
[0013] Secondly, this invention features a pull ring that allows the fixing rod and fixing block to be pulled downwards, quickly releasing the constraint of the fixing block on the box body. This allows the box body to slide downwards along the fixing plate until the stop block assembled on the box body presses against the partition, enabling the switching of a single box placement scheme. A circular block supports the fixing strip; pulling the fixing strip downwards compresses multiple circular blocks, moving multiple fixing blocks downwards, allowing for simultaneous switching of multiple box placement schemes. Furthermore, this invention uses a fixing frame, support rod, and nut to assemble the push plate onto the support. A push block mounted on the push plate pushes the box body to move, and a push rod mounted on the push plate moves the push plate itself.
[0014] Furthermore, the grooves created on the box body not only increase the opening range of the box but also facilitate the retrieval of components placed inside. The height of the push block is no greater than the height of the groove on the side furthest from the top of the fixed plate, allowing components to be retrieved from below the push block without affecting their access. Moreover, the gaskets on the stop blocks cushion the impact of collisions between the stop blocks and partitions, improving the stability of the box. The brackets reinforce the connection between the fixed plate and the support, enhancing the assembly strength of the fixed plate. Attached Figure Description

[0020] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, a workbench for a crossbeam includes a support 1 and a horizontally arranged tabletop 2 on the support 1. A fixing plate 3 is inclinedly arranged above the tabletop 2, and the top of the fixing plate 3 is mounted on the support 1. A plurality of partitions 4 are arranged on the top surface of the fixing plate 3, and the partitions 4 are evenly spaced in the middle of the fixing plate 3. A box 5 with an open top is arranged between adjacent partitions 4. The bottom surface of the box 5 is in contact with the top surface of the fixing plate 3, so that the fixing plate 3 supports the box 5, allowing the box 5 to be arranged at an angle on the fixing plate 3, with the open end of the box 5 tilted towards the assembly personnel, so that the personnel can easily access the workbench in this utility model. Viewing the position of box 5 and the placement of components inside box 5 from one side, two stops 6 are provided on the top of box 5. The two stops 6 are respectively installed on the outer walls of the two sides of box 5. The stops 6 are located between the top of partition 4 and the top of fixing plate 3 to restrain the sliding box 5 and prevent it from sliding off the fixing plate 3. The length of box 5 is not less than the distance from the top of partition 4 to the bottom of fixing plate 3, so that the bottom of box 5 can pass through the bottom of fixing plate 3 for retrieving the components placed in box 5. The bottom of fixing plate 3 has a fixing hole 7, and a fixing box 8 with an open top is provided below fixing hole 7 for fixing. The top of box 8 is mounted on the bottom surface of fixing plate 3. The inner cavity of fixing box 8 is connected to the inner cavity of fixing hole 7. Fixing block 9, spring 10 and fixing rod 11 are respectively provided inside fixing box 8. The cross-sectional shape of fixing block 9 matches the cross-sectional shape of the inner cavity of fixing box 8. The top of fixing block 9 protrudes from fixing hole 7. The protruding part of fixing block 9 contacts the side wall of box body 5 away from the top of fixing plate 3, so as to use fixing block 9 to constrain box body 5. The distance between fixing block 9 and the top of partition plate 4 is not greater than the length of box body 5, so as to provide two constraint assembly schemes for box body 5. The top of fixing rod 11 is mounted on the bottom end of fixing block 9. Spring 10 is fitted onto fixing rod 11. The two ends of spring 10 contact the bottom plate of fixing box 8 and fixing block 9 respectively. The bottom plate of fixing box 8 has a sleeve hole 12. The sleeve hole 12 is fitted onto fixing rod 11. The bottom of fixing rod 11 passes through the sleeve hole 12. By pulling the protruding part of fixing rod 11 downward, fixing block 9 is moved downward, so that the top of fixing block 9 moves into fixing hole 7 or fixing box 8, thereby releasing the constraint of fixing block 9 on box body 5, so that box body 5 slides down along inclined fixing plate 3 until the stop block 6 installed on box body 5 presses against partition plate 4, so as to quickly switch the placement scheme of box body 5.
[0021] In this embodiment, the fixing plate 3 has at least two fixing holes 7, and multiple fixing holes 7 are equally spaced at the bottom of the fixing plate 3. The number of the box body 5, fixing box 8, fixing block 9, spring 10, and fixing rod 11 all match the number of fixing holes 7. A circular block 13 is provided below each of the fixing rods 11, and the circular block 13 is installed on the bottom end of the fixing rod 11. The diameter of the circular block 13 is not less than the diameter of the fixing rod 11. A pull ring 14 is provided below the circular block 13, and the pull ring 14 is installed on the bottom end of the fixing block 9. By pulling the pull ring 14 downwards, the fixing rod 11 and the fixing block 9 are moved downwards, causing the part of the fixing block 9 that protrudes from the fixing hole to move to the fixed position. The fixing block 9 is placed inside the fixed hole 7 or the fixed box 8 to release the constraint of the fixing block 9 on the box body 5, so as to switch the placement scheme of a single box body 5. The fixing box 8 is provided with a fixing strip 15 at the bottom. The fixing strip 15 has multiple through holes 16, which are respectively fitted onto multiple fixing rods 11. The diameter of the through holes 16 and the diameter of the fitting holes 12 are both matched with the diameter of the fixing rods 11. By pulling the fixing strip 15 downward, multiple round blocks 13 are squeezed to move downward, which drives multiple fixing blocks 9 to move downward, so as to switch the placement scheme of multiple box bodies 5 simultaneously. The top surface of the fixing block 9 has a guide groove, the height of which gradually increases along the direction away from the top of the fixing plate 3.
[0022] Please refer to it again. Figures 1 to 3 A push plate 17 is provided above the box body 5. Fixing frames 18 are horizontally arranged on both sides of the push plate 17. One end of the fixing frame 18 is mounted on the support 1, and the other end of the fixing frame 18 is located above the middle of the fixing plate 3. A fixing groove 19 is formed in the middle of the fixing frame 18, extending from one side to the other. The end of the push plate 17 is fitted into the fixing groove 19. A support rod 20 is provided on the outer side of the push plate 17, and the support rod 20 is located on the fixing frame 18. In addition, a nut 21 is threaded onto the support rod 20. One side of the nut 21 is in contact with the fixing frame 18. A push block 22 is inclinedly arranged below the push plate 17. The push block 22 is perpendicular to the fixing plate 3. The top of the push block 22 is installed on the push plate 17. The height of the push block 22 is not less than the distance from the fixing groove 19 to the box 5. A push rod 23 is arranged on the outside of the push plate 17. One end of the push rod 23 is installed on the push plate 17. By pushing and pulling the push rod 23, the box 5 can be moved by using the push block 22.
[0023] Specifically, a groove 24 is inclinedly formed on the side of the box body 5 away from the top of the fixing plate 3. The groove 24 is formed on the top surface of the box body 5. The height of the groove 24 gradually increases along the direction away from the top of the fixing plate 3 to increase the opening range of the box body 5 and facilitate the retrieval of the parts placed inside the box body 5. The height of the push block 22 is not greater than the height of the groove 24 on the side away from the top of the fixing plate 3 so that the parts placed inside the box body 5 can be retrieved from below the push block 22, so as to avoid the push block 22 affecting the retrieval of the parts placed inside the box body 5.
[0024] In this embodiment, a gasket 25 made of elastic material is provided between the stop block 6 and the partition plate 4. The gasket 25 is installed on the stop block 6 to buffer the impact of the collision between the stop block 6 and the partition plate 4, thereby improving the stability of the box body 5. A bracket 26 is provided below the fixing plate 3. The bottom surface of the fixing plate 3 is installed on the bracket 26, and one side of the bracket 26 is installed on the support 1, thereby reinforcing the connection between the fixing plate 3 and the support 1 and improving the assembly firmness of the fixing plate 3.
[0025] Please refer to it again. Figure 1 The table 2 is provided with a power strip 27 and an L-shaped support plate 28 on one side. The vertical plates of the power strip 27 and the support plate 28 are respectively installed on the support 1. The horizontal plate of the support plate 28 is provided with a support hole 29 so that the power strip 27 can be used to supply power to the assembly tool of the crossbeam. By fixing the assembly tool of the crossbeam in the support hole 29, the assembly tool of the crossbeam can be placed, thereby facilitating the assembly operation of the crossbeam using the assembly tool.
[0026] Specifically, the bottom end of the support 1 is provided with a number of threaded holes, which are evenly distributed on the edge of the support 1. Support legs 30 are threaded into each of the threaded holes. The support legs 30 are installed on the support 1 through the threaded holes. By adjusting the length of the support legs 30 screwed into the threaded holes, it is convenient to use the support legs 30 to support the support 1.
[0027] The instructions for using this product are as follows: Figures 1 to 5As shown, firstly, by pulling down the fixing strip 15, multiple round blocks 13 are squeezed to move downwards simultaneously, thereby driving multiple fixing blocks 9 to move downwards. This causes the top of the fixing blocks 9 to gradually move into the fixing hole 7 or the fixing box 8, thereby releasing the constraint of the fixing blocks 9 on the box body 5. At this time, under the combined action of gravity and tilt, multiple box bodies 5 slide downwards along the inclined fixing plate 3 until the gasket 25 installed on the box body 5 is pressed against the partition 4, so that one side of multiple box bodies 5 protrudes from the top surface of the fixing plate 3, so that various parts can be placed in multiple box bodies 5 in an orderly manner. Then, by pushing and pulling the push rod 23, the push plate 17 is moved along the fixing groove 19, thereby using the push block 22 to push the box 5 to move until the box 5 moves between the top of the fixing block 9 and the fixing plate 3. At this time, the fixing block 9 automatically resets under the elastic action of the spring 10, that is, the top of the fixing block 9 protrudes from the fixing hole 7. By releasing the push rod 23, the fixing block 9 is used to constrain the box 5. Next, according to the assembly requirements of the vehicle crossbeam, the pull ring 14 below the box 5 with the corresponding parts is pulled downward, causing the fixing block 9 below the box 5 to move downward, so that the box 5 slides downward along the inclined fixing plate 3 again until the gasket 25 installed in the box 5 is pressed against the partition 4. Next, by placing the vehicle crossbeam on the table 2, the parts are taken out from the box 5 to smoothly complete the assembly of the vehicle crossbeam, ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of the assembly process.
[0028] In this embodiment, the table 2 provides a flat and stable placement surface for the vehicle crossbeam, facilitating assembly. A fixed plate 3, tilted above the table 2, allows the box 5 to be tilted, with its tilted opening facing the assembly personnel. This allows personnel to view the position of the box 5 and the detailed placement of its components from one side of the product. Several partitions 4 on the top surface of the fixed plate 3 not only separate the multiple boxes 5 but also limit the stops 6 installed on the boxes 5, preventing them from slipping off the fixed plate 3. Furthermore, this embodiment uses a fixed box 8, spring 10, and fixed rod 11 to control the raising and lowering of a fixed block 9, using the fixed block 9 to block the box 8. Since the distance between the fixed block 9 and the stop 6 is no greater than the length of the box 5, two placement options are provided for the box 5, allowing the assembly personnel to retrieve the components inside.
[0029] The embodiments described above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and are not intended to limit the scope of implementation of this utility model. Therefore, all equivalent changes or modifications made to the structure, features and principles described in the patent claims of this utility model should be included within the scope of the patent application of this utility model.
