DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0031] The present invention will be described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings so that those skilled in the art can implement the invention with reference to the description.

[0032] In the present specification, it should be understood that terms such as “having”, “including” and “comprising” used herein do not preclude the existence or addition of one or more other elements or combinations thereof.

[0033] like Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, in order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the utility model provides a heavy-duty truck instrument panel subassembly tooling, including: a base assembly 1; an instrument panel frame 2, which is connected to the base assembly 1; a flip fixing device 3, which is arranged on the top of the base assembly 1; a positioning device 4, which is arranged on the flip fixing device 3 and is connected to the base assembly 1 through the flip fixing device 3; wherein, the instrument panel frame 2 is located between the flip fixing device 3 and the positioning device 4.

[0034] Specifically, such as Figure 1 、 Figure 2 As shown, the base assembly 1 includes a vertical bracket 11, a crossbeam 12 and a base 13. The vertical bracket 11 is arranged on both sides of the base 13 and connected to the crossbeam 12. One end of the instrument panel frame 2 is connected to the crossbeam 12, and the other end is connected to the base 13.

[0035] Specifically, it also includes at least one auxiliary support 5, which is installed on the instrument panel frame 2. The auxiliary support is fixed to the middle bracket of the base by bolts, and the other end is fixed to the instrument panel bracket. It mainly supports the instrument panel. Different specifications of auxiliary supports are selected according to different instrument panels.

[0036] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the flip fixing device 3 includes a left flip fixing device 31, a right flip fixing device 32 and a fixing plate 33. The left flip fixing device 31 and the right flip fixing device 32 are respectively arranged at the top of the vertical bracket 11, and the fixing plate 33 is respectively connected to the left flip fixing device 31 and the right flip fixing device 32 through the positioning device 4.

[0037] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning device 4 includes a positioning pin 41 and a slotted wheel 42. The positioning pin 41 is movably connected to the slotted wheel 42. The positioning pin 41 is respectively provided on the left flip fixture 31 and the right flip fixture 32. The slotted wheel 42 is connected to the fixing plate 33. The slotted wheel 42 is provided with multiple positioning slots 43. The positioning pins 413 are inserted or removed from the positioning slots 43 to achieve locking and positioning. The instrument panel is connected to the fixing plate. During assembly, the instrument panel can be rotated by turning the manual wheel.
