Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of welding testing technology for automotive electric tailgate strut motors, and in particular to a portable tooling for welding testing of automotive electric tailgate strut motors. Background Technology

[0002] In recent years, the automotive industry has flourished, and consumers have placed higher demands on the quality and production efficiency of automotive parts. As a key component of automobiles, the efficiency and accuracy of the production process for the electric tailgate strut motor are crucial. A stable, reliable, and efficient production tooling can not only improve the quality of the motor but also significantly enhance overall production efficiency and reduce production costs in large-scale production, which is of great significance to the development of the automotive industry. Good tooling design helps drive the automotive manufacturing industry towards automation and intelligence, enhancing the competitiveness of enterprises in the market.

[0003] In the past, the production process of automotive power tailgate strut motors traditionally involved manual operation. For example, in the PCB soldering stage, workers manually operated soldering tools to precisely solder each electronic component onto the PCB board. Motor testing was also done manually, with workers manually connecting the motor to testing equipment to check various performance parameters. This method was quite common, and many small automotive parts manufacturers still use it, some even requiring frequent manual adjustments to the position of the motor and PCB board to ensure the accuracy of soldering and testing.

[0004] However, traditional manual operation methods have significant drawbacks. Manual welding and testing are not only cumbersome, requiring workers to concentrate intensely and possess high levels of skill, resulting in long operation times, but also, due to the inherent uncertainty of manual operation, it is difficult to guarantee the consistency and accuracy of each welding and testing session. This can easily lead to incomplete welds, weak welds, and other defects, potentially causing some defective parts to leave the production line, severely impacting product quality and production efficiency.

[0024] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Identical components are indicated by the same reference numerals. It should be noted that the terms "front," "rear," "left," "right," "upper," "lower," "bottom," and "top" used in the following description refer to directions in the accompanying drawings, while the terms "inner" and "outer" refer to directions toward or away from the geometric center of a specific component, respectively.

[0025] This utility model discloses a portable tooling for welding and testing motors of automotive electric tailgate struts, such as... Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the fixture includes a base plate 1, a welding fixture 2, a wire harness clamp 3, a product testing fixture 4, a motor fixing fixture 5, and an RFID reader 6. A fixture handle 9 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1, and a sliding groove 7 is provided at the bottom of the base plate 1 to cooperate with the equipment track. The base plate 1 can be moved by using the sliding groove 7. All components are set on the base plate 1, so the entire accompanying fixture can automatically move with the equipment track to perform welding, testing and other processes, thereby improving the degree of automation and efficiency of production. This is because the fixture can move automatically, reducing the time and error of manual handling and positioning.

[0026] Specifically, the tooling base plate 1 serves to support all components of the accompanying tooling. It is typically a high-strength metal plate, such as steel, with good flatness and stability. Its shape is generally rectangular to facilitate smooth movement on the equipment track. The groove 7 at the bottom of the tooling base plate 1 mates with the equipment track. The groove 7 can be in the form of a dovetail groove or a T-groove, etc. The dovetail groove provides better lateral positioning and guidance, ensuring accurate movement of the tooling on the track. In addition to common metal materials, the tooling base plate 1 can also be made of high-strength engineering plastics, such as polycarbonate, to reduce overall weight. The tooling handle 9 is attached to the top of the tooling base plate 1, facilitating the operator's movement and adjustment of the tooling position. It is generally made of bent metal tubing, and the surface can be covered with anti-slip materials such as rubber to prevent the operator from slipping while gripping. The tooling handle 9 can be U-shaped or arc-shaped to conform to ergonomics and make it more comfortable for the operator to use.

[0027] Specifically, the welding fixture 2 includes a frame body 21 and a clamping mechanism 22. The frame body 21 has a slot adapted to the shape of the PCB board to be installed. The size and shape of the slot are precisely designed according to the specifications of the PCB board, ensuring accurate placement and positioning. The frame body 21 can be made of aluminum alloy, which is lightweight and high-strength. The clamping mechanism 22 achieves symmetrical locking through an eccentric wheel structure. The eccentric wheel is generally made of carbon steel, which has good wear resistance. When the eccentric wheel rotates, it can quickly and effectively clamp the PCB board within the frame body 21.

[0028] Specifically, the product testing fixture 4 includes a product testing chamber 41, which contains components for testing products, such as various sensors and test probes. The top of the product testing chamber 41 has a door 42 that can be rotated using a rotating shaft, facilitating the insertion and removal of the product to be tested. A viewing window is provided on the door 42, allowing operators to observe the testing process within the chamber. A limit plate 8 is located on one side of the door 42, with a stop at its top to lock the door 42 open. A rotating shaft is connected to the middle of the limit plate 8, and a spring is located at its bottom. By pressing the limit plate 8, the spring force is overcome, causing the stop to disengage from the door 42, thereby opening the door 42.

[0029] Specifically, the motor mounting clamp 5 is used to hold the pre-installed motor and is equipped with a retractable spring and a clamping plate. The spring can be a coil spring with a certain elastic coefficient, which can adaptively adjust the position of the clamping plate according to the size of the motor. The clamping plate is generally made of plastic or rubber to avoid scratching the motor surface. Through the extension and retraction of the spring, the clamping plate can firmly clamp the motor, thereby fixing the motor in place.

[0030] Specifically, the RFID reader 6 is positioned on the top side of the tooling base plate 1, with its signal transmitting surface facing the space above the tooling's working area. The RFID reader 6 can record and save product data in real time, such as wire harness QR code data and motor QR code data. It can use either high-frequency or ultra-high-frequency models to adapt to different working environments and data reading requirements.

[0031] The implementation principle of this embodiment is as follows: The accompanying tooling rationally arranges various fixtures and readers on the tooling base plate 1, and utilizes the sliding groove 7 at the bottom of the tooling base plate 1 to cooperate with the equipment track to achieve automatic flow. During operation, the product components to be assembled are placed in the corresponding tooling fixtures, the equipment switch is pressed, and the tooling performs welding, testing, and other processes sequentially. The welding fixture 2, product testing fixture 4, and motor fixing fixture 5 can accurately fix and position the product components, ensuring the accuracy of welding and testing. The RFID reader 6 can record and save product data in a timely manner, facilitating traceability and management. The entire process reduces manual intervention, improves the degree of automation and efficiency of production, and also reduces errors and defect rates caused by manual operation, representing a significant improvement and enhancement compared to traditional manual operation methods.

[0032] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
