Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of fully active suspension assembly, and in particular to a fully active suspension positioning tool. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, such as Figure 1 The fully active suspension shown includes shock absorbers and air springs. In terms of assembly, there is no self-positioning structure between the shock absorbers and air springs. During vehicle installation after assembly, a lower control arm is fixed to the shock absorber. The lower control arm and shock absorber have self-positioning characteristics. The lower control arm is connected to the chassis control arm bushing, and the air spring is connected to the shock absorber tower. If the axial positional relationship between the shock absorber and air spring is incorrect or exceeds the deviation, the assembly may fail to install, or the control arm bushing may twist after installation.

[0003] Therefore, during the assembly process, it is necessary to position the air springs and shock absorbers. Thus, there is an urgent need to develop a positioning tool to assist in the assembly of fully active suspension systems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a fully active suspension positioning tool to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this application provides a fully active suspension positioning tool with the following technical solution:

[0006] A fully active suspension positioning tool includes: a base;

[0007] A shock absorber positioning mechanism includes a column and a positioning sleeve. The column is fixed on the base, and the positioning sleeve is fixed on the side of the column. A circular hole is provided at one end of the positioning sleeve near the column, and positioning grooves communicating with the circular hole are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the circular hole.

[0008] An air spring positioning mechanism includes a base plate, a support block, and an end positioning plate. The base plate is slidably connected to the base. The support block and the end positioning plate are respectively fixed on both sides of the surface of the base plate. A circular clearance groove is formed on the surface of the end positioning plate. The circular clearance groove is coaxially arranged with the circular hole. Multiple positioning pins are fixed on the side of the end positioning plate near the support block.

[0009] The base surface is symmetrically equipped with linear slide rails, and the base plate is slidably connected to the linear slide rails.

[0010] Stop blocks are fixed at both ends of the linear slide rail on the base, and grips are also fixed on both sides of the base.

[0011] The column has a through hole corresponding to the position of the positioning sleeve. The through hole is coaxial with the circular hole, and the diameter of the through hole is larger than the diameter of the circular hole.

[0012] An arc-shaped groove is formed on the top surface of the support block, and a protective pad is fixed to the surface of the arc-shaped groove.

[0013] Preferably, in order to make it easier for operators to use the positioning tool, the column is marked with marks corresponding to the positions of the positioning slots.

[0014] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0015] 1. This fully active suspension positioning tool is compact, lightweight, reliable in structure, and simple to operate. For determining the attitude of air springs and shock absorbers on this positioning tool, feature matching is preferred, without relying on additional locking structures;

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0023] This application discloses a fully active suspension positioning tool, referring to... Figure 2-3 The system includes a base 1, a shock absorber positioning mechanism 2, and an air spring positioning mechanism 3. The shock absorber positioning mechanism 2 includes a column 21 and a positioning sleeve 22. The column 21 is fixed on the base 1, and the positioning sleeve 22 is fixed on the side of the column 21. A circular hole 221 is opened at one end of the positioning sleeve 22 near the column 21. Positioning grooves 222 connected to the circular hole 221 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the circular hole 221. The air spring positioning mechanism 3 includes a base plate 31, a support block 32, and an end positioning plate 33. The base plate 31 is slidably connected to the base 1. The support block 32 and the end positioning plate 33 are respectively fixed on both sides of the surface of the base plate 31. A circular clearance groove 331 is opened on the surface of the end positioning plate 33. The circular clearance groove 331 is coaxially arranged with the circular hole 221. Multiple positioning pins 332 are fixed on the side of the end positioning plate 33 near the support block 32.

[0024] The top surface of the support block 32 is provided with an arc-shaped groove, which is adapted to the surface of the air spring, and a protective pad 321 is fixed on the surface of the arc-shaped groove.

[0025] Reference Figure 2 The base 1 has linear slide rails 4 symmetrically installed on its surface. The base plate 31 is slidably connected to the linear slide rails 4. Stop blocks 5 are fixed at both ends of the linear slide rails 4 on the base 1. Handles 6 are also fixed on both sides of the base 1.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 The column 21 has a through hole 211 at the position corresponding to the positioning sleeve 22. The through hole 211 is coaxial with the round hole 221, and the diameter of the through hole 211 is larger than the diameter of the round hole 221. The column 21 is marked at the position corresponding to the positioning groove 222. The marks are L and R, representing left and right respectively. During assembly, the fully active suspension on the left and right sides can be placed according to the marks.

[0027] Reference Figure 2-3 In order to be compatible with other models of fully active suspension, the positioning sleeve 22 is also symmetrically provided with multiple guide and limiting grooves 223 along the length direction.

[0028] The implementation principle of a fully active suspension positioning tool according to an embodiment of this application is as follows:

[0029] Reference Figure 2-4During assembly, the air spring is first placed on the support block 32, so that the grooves on both sides of the air spring are pressed into the positioning pin 332. At this time, the air spring can be stably suspended on the air spring positioning mechanism 3. Then, the shock absorber is inserted into the positioning sleeve 22, and the ear block on the shock absorber is inserted into the positioning groove 222 for limiting. The shock absorber end is inserted into the air spring by moving the base plate 31. Then, the staff continues to manually push the base plate 31 to combine the air spring and the shock absorber together (the air spring and the shock absorber are installed by friction). After the assembly is completed, the staff holds the whole active suspension and pulls the base plate 31 backward. The whole active suspension can be easily detached from the positioning tool.

[0030] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
