Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automobile production lines, and in particular to a multi-model switching tooling. Background Technology

[0002] When multiple models are produced on the same production line, different models have different tooling. In order to meet the requirements of flexible production on the same line, the overall tooling is usually switched, which is achieved by rotating the turntable / hub, or by sliding the tooling from the storage location.

[0003] However, existing tooling co-line and flexible switching solutions have the following three drawbacks because each vehicle model has different tooling: 1. Large production line footprint; 2. High production line investment cost; 3. Long vehicle model switching time, affecting production efficiency. To solve the above drawbacks, a multi-vehicle switching tooling is provided. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multi-vehicle switching tooling to solve the problems of existing tooling co-line and flexible switching solutions mentioned in the background art, which have the problems of large production line footprint, high production line investment cost and long vehicle switching time, thus affecting production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a multi-vehicle switching fixture, comprising a fixture base frame and a first switching unit and a second switching unit mounted on the fixture base frame. The first switching unit and the second switching unit are respectively equipped with fixing units for fixing different vehicle models. The first switching unit and the second switching unit are rotated so that the fixing units are preset to face the inside of the fixture base frame, so that the fixture base frame can be used to fix multiple different vehicle models.

[0006] Preferably, the first switching unit and the second switching unit are rotatably disposed on the outer surfaces of the tooling BASE frame on both sides.

[0007] Preferably, a switching driver is fixedly installed at both ends of the tooling BASE frame, and the output ends of the two sets of switching drivers are fixedly connected to the first switching unit and the second switching unit respectively, so that the two sets of switching drivers drive the first switching unit and the second switching unit to rotate.

[0008] Preferably, a limiting locking mechanism is fixedly installed on the tooling base frame, and the limiting locking mechanism is movably engaged with the first switching unit and the second switching unit so that the first switching unit and the second switching unit can be fixed on the tooling base frame at a preset angle.

[0009] Preferably, a switch-to-position sensor is fixedly installed on the tooling BASE frame. The switch-to-position sensor is controlled and connected to the limit locking mechanism. The switch-to-position sensor detects the position of the first switching unit and the second switching unit, and then outputs a positioning signal to the limit locking mechanism.

[0010] Preferably, the fixing unit includes a first positioning element and a second positioning element, and the first positioning element and the second positioning element are installed on the outer walls of both the first switching unit and the second switching unit.

[0011] Preferably, a part positioning sensor is fixedly installed on the tooling base frame, and the part positioning sensor is used to detect the position of the workpiece.

[0012] The technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows: The tooling base frame has a first switching unit and a second switching unit that are rotatably mounted on it and driven by a switching drive. Multiple sets of fixing units for fixing different collinear workpieces are symmetrically installed on the outer walls of the first and second switching units. In use, the switching drive controls the rotation of the first and second switching units to switch between different fixing units, and then the corresponding collinear workpiece is moved into the tooling base frame. A part positioning sensor determines whether the collinear workpiece is in place, thus satisfying the processing of collinear workpieces from multiple vehicle models. This reduces the floor space and construction cost of the entire production line, and allows for rapid adjustments during production changes. Attached Figure Description

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] This utility model provides, for exampleFigure 1 - Figure 2 The multi-vehicle switching fixture shown includes a fixture base frame 1 and a first switching unit 2 and a second switching unit 3 mounted on the fixture base frame 1. The first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 are respectively equipped with fixing units for fixing different vehicle models. The first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 are rotated so that the preset fixing units face the inside of the fixture base frame 1, so that the fixture base frame 1 can be used to fix multiple different vehicle models.

[0017] More specifically, the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 are respectively rotatably mounted on the outer surfaces of the tooling BASE frame 1 on both sides.

[0018] More specifically, switching drives 6 are fixedly installed on both ends of the tooling BASE frame 1. The output ends of the two sets of switching drives 6 are fixedly connected to the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 respectively, so that the two sets of switching drives 6 drive the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 to rotate. The switching drive 6 is essentially a servo motor or a rotary cylinder, and its main function is to drive the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 to rotate to switch different fixed units.

[0019] More specifically, a limiting locking mechanism 7 is fixedly installed on the tooling BASE frame 1. The limiting locking mechanism 7 is movably engaged with the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3, so that the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 can be fixed on the tooling BASE frame 1 at a preset angle.

[0020] More specifically, a switching position sensor 8 is fixedly installed on the tooling BASE frame 1. The switching position sensor 8 is controlled and connected to the limit locking mechanism 7. The switching position sensor 8 detects the position of the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3, and then outputs a positioning signal to the limit locking mechanism 7. The limit locking mechanism 7 is essentially a pin driven by a cylinder or electric cylinder. It fixes the angle of the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 by movably inserting it into the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3.

[0021] More specifically, the fixing unit includes a first positioning element 4 and a second positioning element 5. The outer walls of the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 are both equipped with the first positioning element 4 and the second positioning element 5. The number of the first positioning element 4 and the second positioning element 5 is set according to the number of the outer tangent surfaces of the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3, so as to meet the number of collinear workpieces 10 required in the actual production process.

[0022] More specifically, a part positioning sensor 9 is fixedly installed on the tooling BASE frame 1. The part positioning sensor 9 is used to detect the position of the workpiece, thereby determining whether it is in place based on the position of the collinear workpiece 10.

[0023] Working principle: The device has a first switching unit 2 and a second switching unit 3 rotatably mounted on the tooling base frame 1, and is driven by a switching drive 6. At the same time, multiple sets of fixing units for fixing different collinear workpieces 10 are symmetrically installed on the outer walls of the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3. In use, the switching drive 6 controls the rotation of the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 to switch between different fixing units. After rotation, the state of the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 is detected by the switching position sensor 8 to determine whether the fixing unit is in place. Then, the limiting locking mechanism 7 locks and fixes the first switching unit 2 and the second switching unit 3 to maintain their state. Then, the corresponding collinear workpiece 10 is moved into the tooling base frame 1. The part position sensor 9 determines whether the collinear workpiece 10 is in place, thereby meeting the processing needs of collinear workpieces 10 of multiple vehicle models.
