Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of radiator manufacturing auxiliary tools, and in particular to an automotive radiator clamp calibration mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] As a core component of the engine cooling system, the welding and assembly precision of the automotive radiator directly affects heat dissipation efficiency and overall vehicle reliability. In the radiator manufacturing process, the calibration accuracy of the fixture is crucial to ensuring consistent workpiece positioning. Traditional radiator fixtures typically employ multi-stage mechanical adjustment mechanisms (such as combinations of screws, slide rails, and locking bolts) for positioning calibration. To achieve multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment, traditional fixtures require the stacking of multiple independent adjustment units (such as X / Y / Z three-axis adjustment modules and angle fine-tuning components), resulting in a bulky overall structure. For example, a typical fixture's adjustment mechanism contains over 30 parts, which can easily lead to component interference in tight installation spaces and incurs high manufacturing costs. The calibration process relies on manual operation, and the adjustment accuracy is significantly affected by the operator's experience. Existing fixture calibration requires sequentially completing multiple adjustment steps (such as loosening the locking device → adjusting axis by axis → repeated verification → re-locking). However, the existing process structure is complex, inconsistent, and inefficient. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model discloses an automotive radiator clamp calibration mechanism, comprising a base, a frame, two crossbeams, two protective bars, a rotating device, a flipping device, and a positioning calibration fixture. The rotating device is mounted on the top of the base, and the frame is mounted on the flipping device. Crossbeams are mounted at both ends of the frame, and protective bars are mounted on the outer walls of the crossbeams. The front and rear ends of the two crossbeams are configured as two clamping stations, and the positioning calibration fixture is installed in each clamping station via the flipping device. The product is placed into the fixture, and the positioning calibration fixture is locked sequentially to complete the product shaping, calibration, and positioning. The flipping device can rotate the product to adjust its orientation, and the rotating device can rotate the frame to adjust the positions of the two stations. The mechanism is simple in structure, low in cost, highly consistent, and effective.

The push clamp rod is connected to the push rod. An elbow clamp is installed at the other end of the push clamp rod. When the large horizontal quick clamp is manually operated, it pushes the push rod forward. The push rod pushes the guide rail slider to slide on the guide rail, so that the push clamp rod pushes the elbow clamp to shape, calibrate, and position the product. The guide rail slider sliding on the guide rail can provide precise guidance.
