Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of tooling technology, and in particular to a tooling structure that enables rapid assembly of metal brackets. Background Technology
[0002] Metal stents are rod-type support structures made of metal materials, widely used in medical, construction, and industrial fields. Commonly used materials include stainless steel, cobalt-chromium alloys, and nickel-titanium alloys, which offer good corrosion resistance, biocompatibility, and mechanical strength. Other materials, such as tantalum and platinum-rhodium alloys, are also used, suitable for specific patient groups or disease conditions. Some stents have a flat metal base, often called a base, with mounting holes for fixation. This provides a large and stable contact surface, distributing the load and preventing excessive pressure. Mounting holes are typically through holes or threaded holes for inserting bolts or screws. Bases are often square, rectangular, or circular in shape.
[0003] In the assembly of metal brackets, some metal bracket structures with bases typically require the base to be fixed to prevent errors caused by base wobbling during assembly. However, bases are mostly square, rectangular, or circular in shape, and traditional tooling designs are often limited by fixed structural patterns. Their positioning clips, support frames, and connection interfaces are mostly pre-sized, meaning a single set of tooling can usually only match one type and size of base. When dealing with products of various specifications, frequent changes to different tooling are necessary, directly increasing tooling procurement costs and inventory pressure, resulting in poor tooling versatility. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a tooling structure that enables rapid assembly of metal supports.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A tooling structure for rapid assembly of metal brackets includes a base plate. The base plate has multiple sets of grooves (I). Some of the grooves (I) are slidably connected to connectors. Two sets of connectors each have a second groove at one end. A block is placed within each of the two sets of second grooves. A stud is connected to one end of each of the two sets of blocks. Each set of studs (I) movably passes through either a plate (I) or a plate (II). A nut is threaded to one end of each of the two sets of studs (I). Both ends of the two sets of connectors have third grooves (III). Multiple sets of third grooves communicate with corresponding grooves (II). Both ends of the two sets of blocks are connected to studs (II). Multiple sets of third grooves movably pass through corresponding studs (II). A nut (II) is connected to one end of each of the two sets of studs (II).
[0006] Preferably, both sets of connecting parts are threaded together with bolts, and the bottom of each of the multiple sets of grooves is provided with a groove.
[0007] Preferably, each of the two sets of nuts is connected to a washer at one end, and the two sets of washers are respectively attached to plate one or plate two. Plate one or plate two are respectively attached to the corresponding connecting parts. Each of the multiple sets of nuts is connected to a washer at one end, and the multiple sets of washers are respectively attached to the corresponding connecting parts.
[0008] Preferably, one end of both sets of connectors is inverted T-shaped and fits into the groove.
[0009] Preferably, a knob is connected to one end of each set of bolts.
[0010] Preferably, one end of each of the two sets of bolts is connected to a pad, and the two sets of pads are respectively in contact with the four sides of the corresponding groove.
[0011] Preferably, multiple sets of the aforementioned tanks are evenly distributed on the base plate.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. By using the engagement of stud one, nut one, and stud two, the spacing between the two sets of connectors can be adjusted by sliding the connector into any slot one on the base plate, thus adapting to metal bracket bases of different sizes to a certain extent. Unscrewing nut one allows for quick replacement of plate one or plate two without complex disassembly procedures, reducing tooling change time and improving assembly efficiency. The curved end of plate one adapts to irregularly shaped bases, while the flat end of plate two adapts to horizontally shaped bases. Both can rotate around stud one, further compatibility with different shaped bracket structures. Moving stud two along slot three allows for fine-tuning of the spacing between plate one or plate two, adapting to metal bracket bases of different sizes to a certain extent, avoiding assembly jams caused by dimensional deviations, and shortening debugging time. 2. Through the cooperation between the connector, bolts, and groove four, after the connector moves to the target position along groove one, rotating the bolts can cause the pad to tightly abut against groove four, fixing the connector in its current position and preventing the metal bracket base from shifting during assembly, thus ensuring the positioning accuracy of the metal bracket during assembly. Thanks to the bolt and pad cooperation design, the connector can be fixed at any position within groove one, without being limited by fixed points. This allows it to adapt to metal bracket base assembly scenarios with different spacing requirements to a certain extent, improving the versatility of the tooling structure.

[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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.
[0016] Example 1, referring to Figures 1 to 5A tooling structure for rapid assembly of metal brackets includes a base plate 1. The base plate 1 has multiple sets of grooves 2, some of which are slidably connected to connectors 3. Connectors 3 can be slid into any groove 2, thereby adjusting the spacing between them to accommodate bases of metal brackets of different sizes. Each set of connectors 3 has a groove 4 at one end, and blocks 5 are placed within the grooves 4. Each set of blocks 5 has a stud 6 connected to one end. Each plate has a movable section 7 or 8. Unscrewing nut 9 removes the restriction on plate 7 or 8, allowing them to be replaced. Plate 7 has an arc-shaped end, making it compatible with some irregularly shaped bases. Plate 8 has a flat end, making it compatible with bases with horizontal sides. Both plates can rotate around stud 6, enhancing adaptability. Nut 9 is threaded onto one end of each stud 6. Connector 3 has grooves 11 at one and the other ends. Multiple grooves 11 are connected to corresponding grooves 4. Both sets of blocks 5 are connected to studs 12 at one and the other ends. Moving studs 12 along grooves 11 can drive plates 7 or 8, thereby fine-tuning the distance between them and enhancing adaptability to a certain extent. Multiple grooves 11 are movably connected to corresponding studs 12. Nuts 13 are connected to one end of both sets of studs 12. Used to fix stud 2 12 in the current position, connector 3 can slide into any slot 1 2 to change the spacing between the two sets of connectors 3, adapting to bracket bases of different sizes. The adapter plate can be replaced by unscrewing nut 1 9; plate 1 7 adapts to irregular bases, plate 2 8 adapts to horizontal side bases, and both can rotate around stud 1 6 to improve shape adaptability. Slot 3 11 can move stud 2 12 to finely adjust the spacing between plate 1 7 or plate 2 8, and tighten nut 2 13 to fix the position.
[0017] In this embodiment, both sets of connecting parts 3 are threaded together with bolts 15. Multiple sets of grooves 1-2 each have a groove 4-17 at their bottom. The connecting part 3 is moved along the groove 1-2 to a suitable position, and the bolts 15 are rotated to cause the pad 18 to abut against the groove 4-17, thus fixing the connecting part 3 in its current position. The design of the bolts 15 and pads 18 allows the connecting part 3 to be fixed at any position within the groove 1-2, offering a wide range of applicability. Both sets of nuts 1-9 have washers 1-10 connected to one end. The washers 1-10 respectively fit against plate 1-7 or plate 2-8, and plate 1-7 or plate 2-8 respectively fit against the corresponding connecting part 3, increasing friction and preventing loosening. Multiple sets of nuts 2-13 have washers 2-14 connected to one end. The washers 2-14 respectively fit against the corresponding connecting part 3, increasing friction and preventing loosening. Both sets of connecting parts 3 have an inverted T-shape at one end that fits into the groove 1-2, providing vertical restraint for the connecting part 3. Both sets of bolts 15 have a knob 16 connected to one end, making it easier to rotate the bolts 15. Both sets of bolts 15 also have a pad 18 connected to one end, which engages with the corresponding groove 17 to increase friction and improve the stability of the connector 3. Multiple grooves 2 are evenly distributed on the base plate 1, providing more options.
[0018] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: During use, according to the size of the metal bracket base to be assembled, slide the two sets of connectors 3 into the corresponding grooves 2 on the base plate 1. After adjusting to a suitable spacing, rotate the knob 16 at one end of the bolt 15, causing the pad 18 at the bottom of the bolt 15 to abut against the groove 17 at the bottom of the groove 2, thereby fixing the connectors 3 in the current position and completing the base size adaptation. Select the corresponding plate according to the shape of the metal bracket base. If the base is irregularly shaped, select plate 7; if the side of the base is horizontal, select plate 8. Insert the selected plate through the stud 6, and then screw a nut 9 with a washer 10 onto one end of the stud 6, so that the washer 10 fits against the plate and the plate fits against the connector 3, completing the plate installation. Furthermore, plate 7 or plate 8 can rotate around the stud 6, further improving adaptability to bases of different shapes. If jamming occurs during assembly due to dimensional deviations, loosen the nut 13 with washer 14 at one end of stud 2 12, and move stud 2 12 along the groove 11 on connector 3. Stud 2 12 will drive the connected block 5 and stud 6 on block 5 to move synchronously, achieving fine adjustment of the spacing between plate 1 7 or plate 2 8. After adjusting to the appropriate position, retighten nut 2 13 to make washer 14 fit against connector 3, fixing the plate position, and then continue assembly smoothly. After completing the above steps, place the metal bracket base between the two sets of plates, using the plates to position and fix the base to prevent it from shaking during assembly, and then proceed with the normal assembly operation of the metal bracket.
[0019] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
