This paper elaborated the anti-loosening method of adjusting nuts for automotive rack and pinion steering gears, and studied the riveting point method using riveting head to damage the threads of adjusting nuts. In this paper, the number of riveting head, the distribution of riveting head, and the riveting pressure were used as control variables, and the loosening torque of the adjusting nut after riveting, the deformation of the pressure block hole of the steering gear housing were utilized as evaluation indicators. According to the test, when 6 riveting heads are evenly distributed on the pitch diameter circle of the adjusting nut thread circumferentially to rivet the steering gear nut, the deformation of the pressure block hole of the housing is less affected, and the locking torque of the adjusting nut is also less affected. Finally, the method of adjusting nut riveting point for steering gear is obtained, in which 6 rivet heads are uniformly distributed on the pitch diameter circle of the adjusting nut thread along the circumferential direction, with riveting pressure of 30 kN riveting pressure as optimal.
To enhance the product maturity and solve the problems found in manufacturability analysis, product manufacturability baseline and mechanism were established. The first version of baseline was established through clarifying the scope, developing template, identifying source, confirming dimension, refining content, process confirmation, design confirmation, release and maintenance. Relevant activities such as identification, analysis, evaluation, and accumulation were integrated with the product development process to ensure the procedural application of baseline in the project. Combined with the product development project, the effect of baseline establishment and application were verified, improving the standardization, accuracy, and comprehensiveness of manufacturability analysis, improving product quality and production efficiency, as well as reducing manufacturing costs. At the same time, future expectations for the digital application of baselines were proposed.

Based on the technologies of vision detection, Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV) transmission, industrial robot intelligent grasping and automatic tightening, the automatic assembly efficiency, assembly quality and flexibility of welding and adjusting door cover have been greatly improved. The multi-channel cameras were integrated on the grab, and the key feature points were identified and extracted by taking photos of the door cover and the body-in-white, and the clearance and difference of each position between the door cover and the body-in-white were calculated, and then the clearance and difference matching algorithm was adopted to calculate the best position of the door cover relative to the body in white, then the transfer robot was guided to grab the door cover to reach the best assembly position. The door cover was tightened automatically by the tightening robot carrying the tightening shaft. The door cover automatic assembly technology not only improves the assembly efficiency and quality, but also reduces the labor load and cost, and ensures the overall appearance quality of the body-in-white.
To solve the problems existing in the selection method of typical test conditions of the traditional load spectrum, this paper explored the potential relationship between process parameters by fuzzy clustering analysis, and realized the classification and primary selection of operating conditions data, meanwhile, the fuzziness of the classification process was fully considered and the subjective randomness of the preliminary selection of the scheme was avoided. On the basis of the preliminary selection results, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was introduced to comprehensively consider the 4 comprehensive evaluation indexes, namely, the typicality and comprehensiveness of the selection of test conditions, the economy of the test and the amount of spectral data. The hierarchical structure model of the system was established, and the representative test conditions were selected by combining qualitative analysis and quantitative calculation, thus improving the scientificity and systematization of the selection of typical test conditions.
