APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING VEHICLE BODY DURING ASSEMBLY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17956289 titled 'APPARATUS FOR SUPPORTING VEHICLE BODY DURING ASSEMBLY
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes an apparatus designed to support a vehicle body during assembly. It includes a support frame, vehicle body supporting portions, and position adjustment units.
- The apparatus consists of a support frame that provides a stable structure for holding the vehicle body during assembly.
- There are first vehicle body supporting portions installed on the front portion of the support frame, which can be moved in the vehicle width direction. This allows for flexibility in accommodating different vehicle body sizes.
- First position adjustment units are installed on the front portion of the support frame, enabling manual adjustment of the position of the first vehicle body supporting portions. This ensures precise alignment and positioning of the vehicle body during assembly.
- Second vehicle body supporting portions are installed on the rear portion of the support frame and are capable of clamping. This provides additional support and stability to the vehicle body during assembly.
- Second position adjustment units are installed on the rear portion of the support frame, allowing manual adjustment of the position of the second vehicle body supporting portions in the vehicle length direction. This enables customization for different vehicle body lengths.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Automotive manufacturing industry: The apparatus can be used in automobile assembly lines to support and position vehicle bodies during the manufacturing process.
- Vehicle customization: The apparatus can be utilized in workshops or garages for modifying or customizing vehicles, ensuring precise alignment and positioning during the modification process.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Precise positioning: The apparatus allows for accurate alignment and positioning of the vehicle body during assembly, ensuring proper fit and reducing the risk of errors or misalignments.
- Flexibility: The movable and adjustable vehicle body supporting portions and position adjustment units provide flexibility to accommodate different vehicle body sizes and lengths.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved efficiency: The apparatus simplifies the process of supporting and positioning vehicle bodies during assembly, reducing the time and effort required.
- Enhanced accuracy: The manual position adjustment units enable precise alignment and positioning, resulting in higher quality and consistency in the assembly process.
- Versatility: The apparatus can be customized to support various vehicle body sizes and lengths, making it suitable for different types of vehicles and manufacturing requirements.
