The upper part of the main frame 1 is provided with a boom assembly 4, which is connected to the external robotic arm.

[0019] Specifically, this embodiment discloses an auxiliary tooling for the hoisting and assembly of front-end module assemblies for new energy passenger vehicles. It primarily addresses the problems of the large size and heavy weight of the front-end module assembly 10, and the difficulty of assembly for operators. The tooling includes a main frame 1 and a movable frame 2. The movable frame 2 can move vertically relative to the main frame 1 to clamp and lift the front bumper beam 11 of the front-end module assembly 10 using the positioning block 106 and the support block 204, thus fixing the front-end module assembly 10. Furthermore, to prevent the front-end module assembly 10 from rotating, a limiting block 503 is provided at the front of the main frame 1 via a limiting cylinder 502, using the limiting block 503 to press the front of the front-end module assembly 10. In this embodiment, the auxiliary tooling is connected to an external robotic arm via a boom assembly 4 for hoisting.

[0020] Preferably, a control component is provided on the rear side of the main frame 1 in this embodiment; The control components include an operating handle 601 that is assembled and fixed to the main crossbeam 101 of the main frame 1, and an operating box 602 connected between the two operating handles 601.

[0021] Preferably, the main frame 1 of this embodiment includes: a main crossbeam 101; and a main upright beam 102 located at both ends of the main crossbeam 101 in the length direction and extending vertically downward.

Second, in this embodiment, a positioning block 106 is provided on the front side of the main vertical beam 102 via a positioning beam 105. This positioning block 106 cooperates with the upper part of the front anti-collision beam 11 of the front module assembly 10 and presses against the upper part of the front anti-collision beam 11.

[0023] Based on the structure of the main frame 1 described above, this embodiment further defines the structure of the activity frame 2. The activity frame 2 of this embodiment includes: Movable crossbeam 201; A movable upright beam 202 is fixed to the end of the movable crossbeam 201. A bracket 203 extends from the movable upright beam 202 toward the front side of the tooling. A support block 204 is provided at the end of the bracket 203. A clamping cylinder 3 is provided between the main crossbeam 101 and the movable crossbeam 201. The movable crossbeam 201 slides with the vertical slide rail 103 via the slider 104. The clamping cylinder 3 drives the movable frame 2 to move along the vertical slide rail via the cylinder rod.

[0024] In this embodiment, both the positioning block 106 and the support block 204 are made of nylon.

[0025] The movable frame 2 in this embodiment includes a movable crossbeam 201 and a movable vertical beam 202. The movable crossbeam 201 is slidably engaged with a vertical slide rail 103 via a slider 104, and the clamping cylinder 3 between the main crossbeam 101 and the movable crossbeam 201 can drive the movable frame 2 to move up and down. Meanwhile, the movable vertical beam 202 in this embodiment has a bracket 203 on its front side, and the end of the bracket 203 is a support block 204. When the movable frame 2 moves upward, the support block 204 lifts the bottom of the front anti-collision beam 11 of the front module assembly 10, thereby forming a clamping and fixing of the front anti-collision beam 11 of the front module assembly 10 with the aforementioned positioning block 106.

[0026] Preferably, in this embodiment, a mounting plate is fixed at the middle position of the main crossbeam 101; The boom assembly 4 is assembled and fixed in the middle of the mounting plate; A limit bracket 501 is fixed at the front of the mounting plate, and a limit cylinder 502 is provided at the end of the limit bracket 501.

[0027] In this embodiment, the boom assembly 4 includes: an upper flange 401 and a lower flange 402; and a square tube 403 connected between the upper flange 401 and the lower flange 402. The lower flange 402 is assembled and fixed to the main crossbeam 101, and the upper flange 401 is assembled and fixed to the external robotic arm.

[0028] In this embodiment, the limiting block 503 is made of nylon.

[0029] The auxiliary tooling for gripping and assembling front-end module components provided by this utility model, as described above, has the following beneficial effects: The auxiliary tooling of this utility model is mainly designed to solve the problems of large size and heavy weight of the front-end module assembly when disassembling the rear suspension assembly of new energy passenger vehicles, which makes manual assembly difficult, space-constrained, affects the production line pace, and poses safety hazards. This tooling effectively reduces the assembly difficulty of the front-end module assembly and avoids safety hazards during the assembly process.

[0030] In this utility model, the auxiliary tooling, including the support block 204, positioning block 106, and limiting block 503, is made of nylon, effectively preventing scratches on the workpiece and vehicle. Secondly, the entire tooling adopts a rigid arm structure, which facilitates maintaining the balance of the entire tooling after the workpiece is gripped, ensuring the workpiece is stable during gripping and assembly. The entire tooling uses a movable structure for the lower support block and a fixed structure for the upper positioning block. During the gripping process, after the positioning block is positioned with the workpiece, the lower support block clamps the workpiece through a cylinder action, facilitating smooth clamping and releasing of the tooling.

[0031] This utility model's tooling incorporates a limiting cylinder 502 and a limiting block 503, which facilitates the restriction of displacement between the various parts of the front module assembly 10 after clamping, thus simplifying workpiece assembly. The tooling is constructed entirely of aluminum alloy, reducing its weight while ensuring overall structural strength, preventing bending or deformation during use. The operating box is mounted above the operating handle, allowing operators to easily perform clamping, releasing, and other operations, conforming to ergonomic requirements.

[0032] The foregoing description only illustrates certain exemplary embodiments of the present invention. Undoubtedly, those skilled in the art can modify the described embodiments in various ways without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the above drawings and descriptions are illustrative in nature and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
