[0017] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0018] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the welding car water pump housing fixture includes a fixture base 1, on which a positioning component 2 for precise positioning of the workpiece is provided. A side pin positioning plate 3, an upper pressure block assembly 4, and a lower pressure block assembly 5 are arranged in sequence around the positioning component 2. The side pin positioning plate 3, the upper pressure block assembly 4, and the lower pressure block assembly 5 are fixed to the fixture base 1 by bolts. The upper pressure block assembly 4 has a positioning unit 6 for fixing the welded parts.

[0019] To elaborate further, the positioning component 2 includes a central positioning block 7 and several columns 8 arranged circumferentially around the central positioning block 7. The central positioning block 7 is provided with a central shaft 9 that plays a positioning role. When installing the workpiece, the central hole of the water pump housing is fitted onto the central shaft 9, while the edge or specific part of the housing is radially and circumferentially limited by multiple columns 8, thereby achieving rapid and accurate positioning of the workpiece.

[0020] To elaborate further, the top of the side pin positioning plate 3 is provided with a positioning pin 10, which is used to assist in positioning a specific side of the workpiece to prevent it from moving in the horizontal plane.

[0021] To elaborate further, the upper pressure block assembly 4 includes an upper pressure base 11, an upper pressure block pivot bracket 12, and an upper pressure strip 13. The upper pressure block pivot bracket 12 has a groove at its end, and the upper pressure strip 13 is fixedly installed in the groove by a pin 14. The upper pressure strip 13 is rotatably installed in the groove by the pin 14, so that the upper pressure strip 13 can be raised or lowered within a certain angle range around the pin 14. A handle 15 is provided on the side of the upper pressure strip 13, and the upper pressure strip 13 can be rotated by the handle 15. The handle 15 is designed to facilitate the user to apply force. A clamp 16 for fixing the welded part is provided at the top of the upper pressure strip 13. The shape of the clamp 16 matches the welded part being pressed to ensure that the pressing force is effective and does not damage the workpiece.

[0022] To elaborate further, the positioning unit 6 includes a support plate 17 and a positioning pin 18. The positioning pin 18 passes through the support plate 17 and extends outward. The front end of the positioning pin 18 has a U-shaped groove 19 for clamping the welded part. When the welded part is placed in the predetermined position, the positioning pin 18 is pushed, and the U-shaped groove 19 at its front end can accurately lock and clamp the welded part, keeping it fixed during the welding process.

[0023] To elaborate further, the lower pressure block assembly 5 includes a lower pressure frame 20 and a lower pressure cover 21. The lower pressure cover 21 is installed to protect the lower pressure frame 20 and the opening slot. The lower pressure frame 20 has an opening slot, and a guide rail 22 is installed in the opening slot. The guide rail 22 is fixed between the lower pressure frame 20 and the lower pressure cover 21, and a linear bearing sleeve 23 is fitted on the guide rail 22. The linear bearing sleeve 23 can slide smoothly and linearly along the guide rail 22, and a lower pressure bar 24 for fixing the extruded welded part is provided on the linear bearing sleeve 23. The linear bearing sleeve 23 is moved by a drive device 25. The drive device 25 pushes the linear bearing sleeve 23 and the lower pressure bar 24 on it to move along the guide rail 22, thereby performing precise linear extrusion and fixing of specific parts of the workpiece. This linear guide rail 22 structure ensures the smoothness and accuracy of the pressing action and avoids positioning errors caused by shaking.

[0024] To elaborate further, the upper pressure block assembly 4 and the positioning unit 6 are integrally molded structures, which improves strength and positioning accuracy.
