Their installation quality directly affects the overall performance, stability, and reliability of the product. Traditional aluminum bracket and steel claw installation processes heavily rely on manual operation. After installation, a guide gauge is required for further inspection. Due to the lack of effective error-proofing measures throughout the installation process, misinstallation of workpieces frequently occurs. Furthermore, the absence of real-time detection capabilities prevents timely detection of problems during installation. This results in numerous brackets exhibiting slight deformation and misalignment of support holes after installation, impacting product manufacturing quality and operational safety.

This fixture automates the installation process of the aluminum bracket and steel claw, significantly reducing labor intensity. Simultaneously, it enables precise detection of the diameter and perpendicularity of the through holes in the aluminum bracket during installation. This real-time detection function can promptly identify and correct problems that arise during installation, effectively preventing a large number of defective products from being generated due to delayed detection, thereby greatly improving product quality and pass rate.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An aluminum bracket mounting and inspection fixture, comprising: The system comprises a control box, a gantry frame, a lifting cylinder, a pressing fixture, a fixing fixture, and a sensor. The gantry frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the control box. The lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the gantry frame. The pressing fixture is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder and is used to install and inspect the aluminum bracket and steel claw. The fixing fixture is slidably mounted on the control box and has a placement slot for fixing the aluminum bracket and steel claw.

[0018] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0019] As described in the background section, the traditional aluminum bracket and steel claw installation process relies heavily on manual operation. After installation, it is necessary to use guide gauges for inspection again. Due to the lack of effective error prevention measures throughout the installation process, misinstallation of workpieces often occurs. Furthermore, the lack of real-time detection function makes it impossible to detect problems in time during the installation process. This results in a large number of brackets exhibiting slight deformation and misalignment of the support hole center after installation, affecting the production quality and safety of the product.

[0020] To address this technical problem, this utility model provides an aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture, which automates the installation process of the aluminum bracket and steel claw, significantly reducing labor intensity. Simultaneously, it enables precise detection of the diameter and verticality of the through holes in the aluminum bracket during installation. This real-time detection function can promptly identify and correct problems that occur during installation, effectively avoiding the generation of a large number of defective products due to delayed detection, thereby greatly improving product quality and pass rate.

[0021] For details, please refer to Figure 1-5 The aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture specifically includes: Control box 1 and gantry 2, with gantry 2 fixedly connected to the upper surface of control box 1; The lifting cylinder 3 and the pressing fixture 4 are fixedly connected to the gantry frame 2, and the pressing fixture 4 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 3. The pressing fixture 4 is used to install and inspect the aluminum bracket and the steel claw. Fixture 5 is slidably mounted on control box 1. Fixture 5 has a placement groove 6 for fixing aluminum bracket and steel claw. The center of placement groove 6 is perpendicular to lifting cylinder 3 and pressing gauge 4. Sensor 7 is used to detect whether the fixing fixture 5 has slid directly under the pressing fixture 4.

[0022] The aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture provided by this utility model involves placing the aluminum bracket and steel claws sequentially into the placement groove 6 of the fixing fixture 5. Since the bottom of the placement groove 6 is precisely machined according to the shape of the aluminum bracket, and the top of the placement groove 6 is precisely machined according to the shape of the steel claws, it ensures that the aluminum bracket and steel claws can only be placed and positioned in the correct direction, thus preventing mistaken insertion. Next, the fixing fixture 5 is pushed directly below the gantry 2. At this time, the pressing inspection fixture 4 is perpendicular to the center point of the hole in the aluminum bracket. When the sensor 7 detects that the fixing fixture 5 is in place, the lifting cylinder 3 drives the steel claw pressing head 401 of the pressing inspection fixture 4 to move down to complete the assembly. Simultaneously, the detection guide gauge 402 is inserted into the hole in the aluminum bracket to detect the hole position. During the entire installation process, if the detection guide gauge 402 detects that the upper and lower holes are not concentric due to deformation of the steel claws and bracket, the control box 1 will sound an alarm and stop the operation of the lifting cylinder 3 and the pressing inspection fixture 4.

[0023] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0024] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features and technical solutions in the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0026] Example 1 Please refer to Figure 1-5 An aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture includes a control box 1, a gantry frame 2, a lifting cylinder 3, a pressing fixture 4, a fixing fixture 5, and a sensor 7. The gantry frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the control box 1; the lifting cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the gantry frame 2; the pressing fixture 4 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the lifting cylinder 3 and is used to install and inspect the aluminum bracket and steel claw; the fixing fixture 5 is slidably installed on the control box 1, and a placement groove 6 is provided on the fixing fixture 5 for fixing the aluminum bracket and steel claw. The center of the placement groove 6 is perpendicular to the lifting cylinder 3 and the pressing fixture 4; the sensor 7 is used to detect whether the fixing fixture 5 has slid directly below the pressing fixture 4.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1-5 During operation, the aluminum bracket and steel claw are placed sequentially into the placement slot 6 of the fixing fixture 5. Since the bottom of the placement slot 6 is precisely machined according to the shape of the aluminum bracket, and the top of the placement slot 6 is precisely machined according to the shape of the steel claw, it ensures that the aluminum bracket and steel claw can only be placed and positioned in the correct direction, which plays a role in preventing mistakes. Then, the fixing fixture 5 is pushed to the bottom of the gantry 2. At this time, the pressing gauge 4 is perpendicular to the center point of the hole of the aluminum bracket. When the sensor 7 detects that the fixing fixture 5 is in place, the lifting cylinder 3 drives the steel claw pressing head 401 of the pressing gauge 4 to move down to complete the assembly. At the same time, the detection guide gauge 402 is inserted into the hole of the aluminum bracket to detect the hole position. During the entire installation process, if the detection guide gauge 402 detects that the upper and lower holes are not concentric due to the deformation of the steel claw and the bracket, the control box 1 will sound an alarm and stop the operation of the lifting cylinder 3 and the pressing gauge 4.

[0028] The aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture provided in this embodiment automates the installation process of the aluminum bracket and steel claw, significantly reducing labor intensity. At the same time, it enables precise detection of the diameter and verticality of the through holes in the aluminum bracket during installation. This real-time detection function can promptly identify and correct problems that occur during installation, effectively avoiding the generation of a large number of defective products due to detection delays, thereby greatly improving product quality and pass rate.

[0029] Example 2 The aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture provided in Example 1 has been further optimized, specifically, as follows: Figure 2As shown, the control box 1 serves as the control center of the system, integrating a PLC control system, a pneumatic control unit, and electrical components. The front panel of the control box 1 is equipped with a timer 101, an emergency stop button 102, and two switch buttons 103. The two switch buttons 103 are located on the left and right sides and are equipped with status indicator lights. The control box 1 is also equipped with an alarm. The timer 101, the emergency stop button 102, the two switch buttons 103, and the alarm are all electrically connected to the components inside the control box 1. When the sensor 7 detects that the fixing fixture 5 is not in place, the lifting cylinder 3 and the pressing fixture 4 cannot work, and the alarm will sound to prevent misaligned pressing due to air pressure or incomplete positioning.

[0030] Example 3 The aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture provided in Embodiment 1 or 2 has been further optimized, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the gantry 2 includes two upright plates 201 and a crossbeam 202. One end of the upright plate 201 is vertically fixed to the upper surface of the control box 1, and the other end of the upright plate 201 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 202. The lifting cylinder 3 is fixedly installed on the crossbeam 202 of the gantry 2. The pressing fixture 4 includes a steel claw pressing head 401 and two detection guide gauges 402 fixedly connected to the lower surface of the steel claw pressing head 401. The detection guide gauges 402 are high-precision fixtures used to detect the diameter and verticality of the through hole of the aluminum bracket. The steel claw pressing head 401 of the pressing fixture 4 is driven to move down by the lifting cylinder 3. The pressure of the steel claw pressing head 401 is used to complete the assembly of the aluminum bracket and the steel claw. At the same time, the detection guide gauges 402 can be inserted into the hole of the aluminum bracket to detect the hole position. The control box 1 is made of aluminum alloy and has been anodized. The gantry 2 is a frame structure made of high-strength aluminum alloy. The lifting cylinder 3 is an SMC standard cylinder with a fixed stroke. The pressing fixture 4 is made of aluminum alloy, precision ground and anodized. This makes the inspection fixture strong and corrosion resistant, improving its service life, while also being lightweight and easy to move.

[0031] Example 4 The aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixtures provided in the above embodiments are further optimized, such as... Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the fixing fixture 5 includes a fixture base 501 and two fixture fixing blocks 502 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixture base 501. The placement groove 6 is opened between the two fixture fixing blocks 502 and extends to the upper surface of the fixture base 501. The fixture base 501 is made of aluminum alloy and the surface is anodized. The fixture fixing blocks 502 are made of bakelite. The placement groove 6 on the fixture fixing blocks 502 is precisely machined according to the shape of the aluminum bracket and the steel claw to ensure that the aluminum bracket and the steel claw can only be placed in the correct direction, which plays a role in preventing mistakes. If they are not placed correctly during the pressing process, the lifting cylinder 3 will be prevented from moving, thus avoiding damage to the product. Two linear guide rails 8 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the control box 1, and two sliders 9 are fixedly connected to the lower surface of the fixture base 501. The sliders 9 are slidably connected to the linear guide rails 8. The movement accuracy of the fixture 5 is ensured by the sliders 9 and the linear guide rails 8, so that the central axis of the fixture 5 is kept perpendicular to the pressing fixture 4. A magnet 10 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the upper surface of the control box 1, and an iron plate 11 corresponding to the magnet 10 is fixedly connected to the back of the fixture base 501. When installing the aluminum bracket and steel claw, the fixture 5 is pulled to slide along the linear guide rails 8 to the front, thereby increasing the space above and facilitating installation. Then, the fixture 5 is pushed to the bottom of the gantry 2. At this time, the iron plate 11 will be magnetically attracted and fixed together with the magnet 10. At the same time, the pressing fixture 4 is perpendicular to the center point of the hole of the aluminum bracket, thereby preventing the fixture 5 from moving during the installation process and improving the stability of the fixture 5. Sensor 7 is fixedly connected to the left side of the upper surface of control box 1. Handles are fixedly connected to both the left and right sides of control box 1. When sensor 7 detects that the fixing fixture 5 is in place, press the switch button 103 with both hands, and the lifting cylinder 3 drives the steel claw pressing head 401 of the pressing fixture 4 to move down to complete the assembly.

[0032] The process of using the aluminum bracket installation and inspection fixture provided by this utility model is as follows: During operation, the aluminum bracket and steel claw are placed sequentially into the placement slot 6 of the fixing fixture 5. Since the bottom of the placement slot 6 is precisely machined according to the shape of the aluminum bracket, and the top of the placement slot 6 is precisely machined according to the shape of the steel claw, this ensures that the aluminum bracket and steel claw can only be placed and positioned in the correct direction, preventing mistaken insertion. Next, the fixing fixture 5 is pushed directly below the gantry 2. At this point, the pressing gauge 4 is perpendicular to the center point of the hole in the aluminum bracket. When the sensor 7 detects that the fixing fixture 5 is in place, both hands press the switch button 103. The lifting cylinder 3 drives the steel claw pressing head 401 of the pressing gauge 4 to move downwards to complete the assembly. Simultaneously, the detection guide gauge 402 is inserted into the aluminum bracket. Hole position detection is performed inside the bracket holes. During the entire installation process, if the detection guide gauge 402 detects misalignment of the upper and lower holes caused by deformation of the steel claw and bracket, the control box 1 will sound an alarm and stop the operation of the lifting cylinder 3 and the pressing gauge 4. This automates the installation process of the aluminum bracket and steel claw, significantly reducing labor intensity. At the same time, the diameter and verticality of the through holes of the aluminum bracket are accurately detected simultaneously during the installation process. This real-time detection function can promptly detect and correct problems that occur during the installation process, effectively avoiding the generation of a large number of defective products due to detection delays, thereby greatly improving product quality and pass rate.
