Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling positioning technology, specifically a high-altitude work vehicle frame positioning tooling device. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing process of aerial work platforms, the frame, as the core load-bearing structure, directly determines the overall performance, safety, and service life of the platform through its machining precision. Welding and cutting are critical processes in frame machining. Before these processes, the frame workpiece must be precisely and stably fixed using positioning fixtures to ensure that subsequent machining dimensions meet design standards.
[0003] Currently, the positioning fixtures for aerial work platforms in the industry use relatively simple positioning methods, generally employing either side positioning or top-bottom positioning structures. Side positioning typically involves fixing the workpiece horizontally by setting clamping or limiting components on both sides; top-bottom positioning uses a combination of top clamping and bottom support to achieve vertical positioning. However, in actual processing, welding processes generate localized high temperatures, causing thermal deformation stress on the workpiece, while cutting processes exert impact forces on the workpiece. Under these external forces, tooling devices relying solely on side or top-bottom positioning are insufficient to provide comprehensive and stable constraint on the workpiece.
[0004] Specifically, when using two-sided positioning, key parts such as the front and rear ends, the four corners in the middle, and the bottom of the workpiece lack effective positioning support. Welding thermal deformation or cutting impact force can easily cause the workpiece to shift in the unconstrained area. If top and bottom positioning is used, although it can limit the displacement of the workpiece in the vertical direction, the positioning stability in the horizontal direction, especially the front and rear direction, is insufficient, which will also cause the workpiece to have positional deviation during processing.
[0005] This workpiece misalignment problem not only causes welding joints to be misaligned and cutting dimensions to exceed accuracy standards, but also increases the workload of subsequent correction processes. In severe cases, it can lead to workpiece scrapping, reduce production efficiency, increase manufacturing costs, and make it difficult to meet the needs of large-scale, high-precision production of aerial work platform frames.

[0025] In some examples, the guide rail 201 of the positioning component 2 is provided with travel limit blocks at both ends, and the travel limit blocks are detachably connected to the guide rail 201 by bolts.

[0026] In some examples, a return spring is provided between the L-shaped plate 302 and the support base 301 of the positioning component 3, with both ends of the return spring connected to the L-shaped plate 302 and the support base 301 respectively. When the external pin is removed, the return spring can automatically reset the L-shaped plate 302, eliminating the need for manual adjustment of the L-shaped plate 302 position, reducing the workload of operators, and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading workpieces 7, which is especially suitable for scenarios involving the processing of large batches of workpieces 7.
[0027] In some examples, a pressure sensor is installed on the hydraulic cylinder 504 of the positioning component 4 5. The pressure sensor is connected to an external control system via a wire. The pressure sensor can monitor the output pressure of the hydraulic cylinder 504 in real time. When the pressure exceeds the preset value, the external control system will issue an alarm and stop the operation of the hydraulic cylinder 504 to prevent the workpiece 7 from deforming or the positioning component from being damaged due to excessive pressure in the hydraulic cylinder 504, thus ensuring the safety of the processing process and the processing accuracy of the workpiece 7.
[0028] In some examples, a height adjustment bolt is provided on the top of the tail support assembly, which is connected to the tail support assembly via threads. By rotating the height adjustment bolt, the support height of the tail support assembly can be adjusted, allowing the tail support assembly to adapt to the rear side of workpieces 7 of different thicknesses, ensuring the stability of the support on the rear side of workpiece 7, and avoiding positioning offset caused by inconsistent heights on the rear side of workpiece 7.
[0029] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this aerial work platform frame positioning fixture, the initial preparation and debugging of the device must be completed according to the dimensions and specifications of the aerial work platform frame of the workpiece 7 to be processed. Place the fixture chassis 1 on a flat surface in the workshop, ensuring that the fixture chassis 1 is level to provide a stable foundation for subsequent positioning. Simultaneously, check and adjust the number and spacing of the central support members 101 at the top of the fixture chassis 1 according to the length and width of the workpiece 7. Fix the support members 101 to the appropriate positions for supporting the bottom of the workpiece 7 by removing or installing bolts, ensuring that the workpiece 7 receives uniform support after placement.
[0030] Next, we proceed to the positioning operation stage of workpiece 7, starting with front and front center positioning. For positioning component 12, the operator pushes the moving block 202 to slide back and forth along guide rail 1201. According to the position of the positioning hole on the front side of workpiece 7, the positioning seat 203 is adjusted to the corresponding position. Then, the multiple sets of round shaft pins 204 on the positioning seat 203 are aligned with the positioning hole on the front side of workpiece 7 and inserted. Through the cooperation of the round shaft pins 204 and the positioning hole, the initial positioning of the front side of workpiece 7 is achieved. At the same time, positioning component 24 plays a role. The front side plate of workpiece 7 is attached to the front side of support column 1 402, support column 2 401 and support column 3 403. The positioning pins 404 on the upper part of support column 1 402, support column 2 401 and support column 3 403 are inserted into the corresponding holes on the front side plate of workpiece 7, further fixing the center of the front side of workpiece 7. The rubber buffer pads on the top of support column 2 401 and support column 3 403 can prevent collision damage to workpiece 7 when it is placed, ensuring accurate and stable front positioning.
[0031] Next, the four corners and bottom of the middle part of workpiece 7 are positioned. For positioning component 3, the left and right side plates of the middle part of workpiece 7 are respectively attached to the support seats 301 arranged in pairs on the front and rear sides of the tooling chassis 1. The limiting part 303 on the lower front side of the support seat 301 first limits the bottom of the middle side plate of workpiece 7 to prevent the workpiece 7 from shifting left and right. The operator rotates the L-shaped plate 302 on the top of the support seat 301. For the middle right side plate, the short pins 305 and long pins 304 on the left and right L-shaped plates 302 are aligned and the external pins are inserted to connect the two, thereby clamping and fixing the middle right side plate. For the middle left side plate, the long pins 304 on the support seat 301 are directly engaged with the external pins to fix the middle left side plate. In this way, the four corners of the middle part of workpiece 7 are stably limited. At the same time, the hydraulic cylinder 504 of the positioning component 4 is activated. The telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 504 pushes the moving seat 502 to move along the guide rail 2 501 until the limiting protrusion on the side of the moving seat 502 away from the center of the tooling chassis 1 contacts the bottom edge of the workpiece 7. The hydraulic cylinder 504 stops running, and the limiting protrusion constrains the bottom of the workpiece 7 to prevent the workpiece 7 from moving up and down during processing.
[0032] Finally, the positioning of the rear side of workpiece 7 is completed. Based on the height and width of the rear side of workpiece 7, the position of the tail support component is adjusted. The tail support component is detachably connected to the tooling base 1 by bolts, which is easy to adjust. The top of the tail support component is tightly fitted with the bottom of the rear side of workpiece 7, providing stable support for the rear side of workpiece 7 and preventing the rear side of workpiece 7 from sagging and shifting during processing due to lack of support.
[0033] Once workpiece 7 is fully positioned, welding or cutting processes can begin. During processing, positioning components 1 (2), 2 (4), 3 (3), and 4 (5), along with the tail support component, work together to form a comprehensive constraint from the front, center, four corners, and bottom of workpiece 7 to the rear. This effectively counteracts the thermal deformation stress from welding and the impact force from cutting, preventing workpiece 7 from shifting and ensuring processing accuracy. Furthermore, the structural design of each positioning component avoids the main processing areas of workpiece 7, preventing obstruction of the operator's work and eliminating the need for frequent disassembly of the positioning components, thus improving processing efficiency.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
