Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive bumper processing technology, specifically to a quick-change positioning device for welding energy-absorbing boxes for bumpers. Background Technology
[0002] The energy-absorbing box is a crucial component of a car's bumper system. Its structure works in conjunction with the front crossbeam of the bumper to absorb and disperse energy during a collision, acting as a buffer and absorber of the impact force to reduce its impact impact. The energy-absorbing box is welded to both ends of the so-called bumper crossbeam and then bolted to the car's longitudinal beams. It has low compressive strength and numerous pre-designed folds to enhance its crumple zone during frontal collisions. It efficiently and controllably absorbs energy during collisions (especially low-speed collisions), maximizing occupant safety, minimizing damage to core components, and significantly improving vehicle repair economy. Its guide groove design and replaceable features are key to its efficient energy absorption and ease of maintenance. It is an indispensable and important component of modern automotive safety structures.
[0003] The energy-absorbing box consists of symmetrical left and right parts, each made from two stamped U-shaped parts: an upper top plate and a lower bottom plate. These are formed by welding and then welded to the bumper body. The traditional welding process for the two U-shaped parts requires placing a fixture with a base frame into the welding workstation for positioning, fixing, and then debugging the program and robot. This results in long changeover times, potential welding position deviations, and an inability to effectively guarantee product quality, leading to defective products and rework, thus increasing production costs. Furthermore, due to product diversity, a single welding workstation needs to process multiple products, resulting in frequent changeovers and low efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a quick-change positioning device for welding bumper energy-absorbing boxes. This effective quick-change positioning device reduces changeover time, ensures accurate positioning, reduces equipment debugging, improves changeover efficiency, reduces defective products, and lowers production costs, thereby solving at least one of the technical problems existing in the background art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a U-shaped base plate; a fixing frame is provided on each of the two sides of the U-shaped base plate; the top of the fixing frame is provided with a top pulley with a rotating shaft parallel to the plane of the U-shaped base plate, and the opposite side of the two fixing frames is provided with a side pulley with a rotating shaft perpendicular to the plane of the U-shaped base plate; two positioning frames are provided in the middle of the U-shaped base plate, and a positioning block is provided on one side of each positioning frame, and a V-shaped positioning groove is provided on the positioning block.
[0007] Furthermore, the fixing frame includes two support beams whose bottom ends are connected to the U-shaped base plate, and a crossbeam is connected between the tops of the two support beams.
[0008] Furthermore, a side pulley mounting bracket is connected to the side of the support beam, and the side pulley is mounted on the side pulley mounting bracket.
[0009] Furthermore, top pulley mounting brackets are installed at both ends of the top of the crossbeam, and the top pulleys are mounted on the top pulley mounting brackets.
[0010] Furthermore, a cylinder is provided on the crossbeam, and a positioning pin is connected to the telescopic end of the cylinder.
[0011] Furthermore, a connecting plate is connected to the bottom end of the support beam, and the connecting plate is connected to the U-shaped base plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the U-shaped base plate includes a horizontal plate, and vertical plates are respectively connected to both ends of the horizontal plate. The two vertical plates and the horizontal plate constitute the U-shaped base plate.
[0013] Furthermore, the connecting plate is connected to the longitudinal plate.
[0014] Furthermore, the two positioning brackets are connected to the cross plate.
[0015] Furthermore, fixing plates are welded to the edges of the horizontal plate and the vertical plate, and the fixing plates are fixed to the ground by bolts.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: the quick-change positioning device is used to replace the existing bumper energy-absorbing box welding fixture, which greatly improves the changeover efficiency, effectively improves production efficiency, improves product quality, reduces manufacturing costs, ensures welding consistency, and guarantees product quality.

Specifically, a cylinder fixing block 8 is provided in the middle of the crossbeam 21, and a through hole is provided in the middle of the cylinder fixing block 8 for the cylinder 10 to extend and retract. The cylinder 10 can be fixed to the cylinder fixing block 8 by connecting bolts.
[0035] In one specific embodiment, a connecting plate 3 is connected to the bottom end of the support beam 20. The connecting plate 3 can be connected to the U-shaped base plate 1 by welding or bolting. To ensure greater stability of the device, a bottom beam 24 can also be connected between the bottom ends of the two support beams 20.
[0036] In one specific embodiment, the U-shaped base plate 1 may include a horizontal plate and vertical plates perpendicularly connected to both ends of the horizontal plate, with the two vertical plates and the horizontal plate forming the U-shaped base plate 1.
