Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments:

[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, the modular automotive parts tooling fixture for quick installation in this embodiment includes a tooling base 1, a clamping base 2, and a tooling fixture 3. A pneumatic device 4 is installed on one side of the tooling base 1. The clamping base 2 is bolted to the surface of the tooling base 1. The tooling fixture 3 includes clamping types adapted to various automotive parts. The tooling fixture 3 is detachably connected to the clamping base 2. The pneumatic device 4 is connected to the tooling fixture 3 and is also detachably connected. By adopting a modular design for each component and achieving detachable connection, the installation and replacement of the entire modular automotive parts tooling fixture are very convenient.

[0025] Specifically, the pneumatic device 4 provides power to the tooling fixture 3, enabling it to perform operations such as clamping automotive parts. The tooling base 1 provides stable support for the entire device, while the fixture base 2 connects the tooling base 1 and the tooling fixture 3. The modular design greatly improves the versatility and flexibility of the fixture, enabling it to adapt to the processing needs of different types of automotive parts. At the same time, the detachable connection facilitates later maintenance and replacement of parts, reducing the cost of use.

[0026] Example 2

[0027] To better adjust the position of the clamps to accommodate automotive parts of different sizes, refer to Figures 2-3As shown, based on the above embodiment, the fixture base 2 includes a fixed base 21, a sliding base 22, and a fixture base 23. The fixed base 21 is fixedly installed on the surface of the tooling base 1. A guide strip 24 is installed on the surface of the fixed base 21. The sliding base 22 is slidably connected to the guide strip 24. The surface of the sliding base 22 is fixedly connected to the fixture base 23 by bolts. The lower end of the sliding base 22 is provided with a slot that matches the guide strip 24. The sliding base 22 and the guide strip 24 are detachably connected. The sliding base 22 can be installed according to the actual needs of automotive parts, and one side of the sliding base 22 can be fixed to the guide strip 24 by fixing bolts as needed.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the position of the fixture base 23 and the tooling fixture 3 installed on the fixture base 23 is adjusted by sliding the sliding seat 22 on the guide bar 24. After adjusting to the appropriate position, the sliding seat 22 and the guide bar 24 are fixed with fixing bolts to ensure the stability of the fixture during operation. The position of the fixture can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs, and the number of sliding seats 22 can be increased or decreased according to actual needs, further expanding the applicability of the tooling fixture 3. It can meet the processing and positioning needs of automotive parts of different sizes. The operation is simple and convenient, and the work efficiency is improved.

[0029] Example 3

[0030] Traditional automotive parts tooling fixtures often have an unstable connection between the fixture and the base, and there are deficiencies in the adjustment of clamping force, which can easily lead to loosening of parts or low installation accuracy during processing.

[0031] For the above issues, please refer to 3- Figure 4 In this embodiment, a limiting groove 231 is provided on the surface of the fixture base 23, and an adjusting plate 232 is provided on one side of the fixture base 23. The center of the adjusting plate 232 is engaged with one end of the fastening bolt 233, and the other end of the fastening bolt 233 is rotatably connected to the fixing plate 234 through a bolt. The outer wall of the fastening bolt 233 is provided with an external thread, and one end of the fastening bolt 233 is provided with an adjusting groove 239 with an inward opening. The fixing plate 234 is installed inside the fixture base 23. The two sides of the adjusting plate 232 are fixedly connected to the linkage shaft 235. The linkage shaft 235 passes through the fixing plate 234 and is sleeved with the guide shaft sleeve 236. One side of the guide shaft sleeve 236 is fixed to the inner wall of the fixture base 23. Limiting strips 238 corresponding to the limiting groove 231 are provided on both sides of the linkage shaft 235.

[0032] In this embodiment, rotating the fastening bolt 233 can drive the adjusting plate 232 to move synchronously, and then the adjusting plate 232 drives the linkage shaft 235 to slide smoothly along the guide sleeve 236, realizing the synchronous translation of the limit clip 238, effectively improving the stability of the connection between the clamp and the base, and solving the problem of unstable connection of traditional clamps.

[0033] For details, please refer to Figure 3 The tooling fixture 3 has a pneumatic connection port 31 on one side, which is connected to the pneumatic device 4 through a connecting pipe. The fixture body 32 is mounted on the surface of the tooling fixture 3. The lower end of the tooling fixture 3 is provided with a connecting post 33 that matches the limiting groove 231. The connecting post 33 has a limiting groove corresponding to the limiting strip 238 on one side. When the connecting post 33 of the tooling fixture 3 is inserted into the limiting groove 231 of the fixture base 23, the limiting strip 238 driven by the adjusting fastening bolt 233 is engaged into the limiting groove of the connecting post 33, so as to achieve a stable connection between the tooling fixture 3 and the fixture base 23. At the same time, the pneumatic device 4 provides power to the fixture body 32 through the pneumatic connection port 31.
