[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. 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.

[0027] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: A vehicle headlight assembly auxiliary tooling is used for auxiliary positioning during the assembly of vehicle headlights. It includes a horizontally placed base plate 1. The base plate 1 has mounting through holes around its upper and lower surfaces. Bolts are inserted through the mounting through holes to fix the base plate 1 onto the corresponding workbench.

[0028] The base plate 1 is provided with an intermediate support component to support the middle position of the headlight, and an outer peripheral support component is provided around the intermediate support component to support the periphery of the headlight. The upper ends of the intermediate support component and the outer peripheral support component form the support surface of the headlight, thereby supporting the entire headlight.

[0029] The intermediate support assembly includes an intermediate support plate 2 disposed above the base plate 1. The upper surface of the intermediate support plate 2 forms a mounting surface. The intermediate support plate 2 is arranged horizontally above the base plate 1. A vertically lifting first telescopic device 3 is disposed above the intermediate support plate 2. The telescopic end of the first telescopic device 3 faces the same direction. A first support plate 4 is installed at the telescopic end of the first telescopic device 3. The upper surface of the first support plate 4 is a support surface. The height of the support surface of the first support plate 4 can be adjusted as needed, thereby providing effective support for the vehicle lights.

[0030] The outer peripheral support assembly includes four outer peripheral connecting blocks 5 distributed around the central support plate 2. Support rods 6 are mounted on the outer peripheral connecting blocks 5, with their lower ends lifted and lowered onto the outer peripheral connecting blocks 5, and their upper surfaces serving as support surfaces. This lifting design of the support rods 6 allows for adjustment of their height according to the needs of the vehicle headlights, thus supporting the outer contour shape of the headlights. This invention, through the lifting function of the first support plate 4 and the four support rods 6, can adjust to different heights to effectively support headlights with varying outer contours, enhancing the applicability of the auxiliary device.

[0031] In some embodiments, the first telescopic joint 3 is arranged in the middle of the intermediate support plate 2. A second telescopic joint 7 with vertical lifting is provided at one end of the intermediate support plate 2, and a third telescopic joint 8 with vertical lifting is provided at the other end. A second support plate 9 is installed at the telescopic end of the second telescopic joint 7, and the upper surface of the second support plate 9 is a support surface. A third support plate 10 is installed at the telescopic end of the third telescopic joint 8, and the upper surface of the third support plate 10 is a support surface. The telescopic heights of the first telescopic joint 3, the second telescopic joint 7, and the third telescopic joint 8 are different. Through the joint support of the second support plate 9, the third support plate 10, and the first support plate 4, multi-point support for the center of the headlight is increased, further enhancing its support stability.

[0032] In some embodiments, the first telescopic member 3, the second telescopic member 7, and the third telescopic member 8 are damped telescopic rods, electric telescopic rods, telescopic cylinders, or telescopic hydraulic cylinders; the telescopic member bodies are fixedly connected to the intermediate support plate 2; the telescopic ends of the three telescopic members are connected to the lower surface of the corresponding support plate using universal joints 11; a stop spring 12 is fixedly installed on the lower surface of the support plate, the stop spring 12 covers the universal joint 11 within it, and extends to a corresponding length towards the telescopic member body; the length of the stop spring 12 extending towards the telescopic member, and the installation of the stop spring 12, do not affect the telescopic rod retracting into the telescopic member body. When the support plate rotates at a certain angle according to the headlight to adapt to the headlight contour, the stop spring 12 can contact the universal joint housing 13, thereby enhancing its effective and stable support for the support plate. Specifically, a threaded connecting block 14 is fixedly connected to the front end of the telescopic rod, the universal joint housing 13 and the threaded connecting block form a threaded connection, the ball head of the universal joint is inside the universal joint housing, and the upper end of the universal joint is fixedly connected to the support plate.

[0033] In some embodiments, a rotating base 16 is provided at the center of the upper surface of the base plate 1 via a rotating shaft 15, and the rotating base 16 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the intermediate support plate 2; the base plate 1 is a square plate, and the intermediate support plate 2 is a rectangular plate, with the length of the intermediate support plate 2 being greater than the length of the base plate 1; after the projection line from top to bottom, the second telescopic joint 7 and the third telescopic joint 8 are symmetrically arranged on the upper surface of the intermediate support plate 2 with the first telescopic joint 3 as the center, so that the counterweight on the intermediate support plate 2 is relatively balanced, enhancing the smoothness of the rotation of the intermediate support plate 2. That is, during the use of the auxiliary tooling, the rotation of the intermediate support plate 2 can be operated according to the different angle requirements when assembling the vehicle lights, and the user can more flexibly and conveniently select the best assembly angle to improve assembly efficiency; of course, when the intermediate support plate 2 is rotated to the corresponding angle, a locking screw can be inserted into the intermediate support plate 2, and by screwing the locking screw downward, the lower end of the locking screw will press against the base plate 1 to generate a locking force, which is set according to the actual assembly needs.

[0034] In some embodiments, the outer peripheral connecting block 5 is L-shaped. The vertical part of the outer peripheral connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the side of the end of the intermediate support plate 2 by bolts. The horizontal part of the outer peripheral connecting block 5 has an adjustment hole 17 arranged in the direction of the vertical part. An adjustment plate 18 is slidably arranged on the upper surface of the horizontal part of the outer peripheral connecting block 5. A threaded hole is opened on the adjustment plate. A support screw 19 passes through the adjustment hole 17 and the threaded hole on the adjustment plate from the lower part of the horizontal part of the outer peripheral connecting block 5 and is arranged vertically above the horizontal part of the outer peripheral connecting block 5. A threaded adjustment channel is opened on the lower end face of the support rod 6 for the upper end of the support screw 19 to pass through, forming a threaded connection. The lowermost end of the support screw 19 is higher than the upper surface of the base plate 1. The heights of the four support screws 19 on the four connecting blocks above their respective adjustment plates are different. By adjusting the arrangement of the adjustment holes 17, the position of the adjustment plate on the upper surface of the transverse part of the outer peripheral connecting block 5 can be adjusted as needed. Furthermore, by using the thread design of the support screw 19 and the support rod 6, and the different height designs of the support screw 19, the adjustability of this auxiliary tooling can be made more flexible, adapting to the assembly of various car lights.

[0035] In some embodiments, the top of the support rod 6 and the upper surface of the support plate may be made of PP material to reduce damage to the outer wall of the headlight caused by the use of metal parts.
