[0031] 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.

[0032] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the terms "opening", "top and bottom", "thickness", "top", "middle", "length", "inner" and "around" indicate the orientation or positional relationship only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this utility model.

[0033] An automotive trim panel assembly inspection fixture is designed to assist in the inspection of the outer contour and dimensions of automotive trim panels. By moving the 13 in both horizontal and vertical directions, the 131 with different structures is moved to different positions, thereby positioning and inspecting the outer contour and dimensions of different trim panels, achieving the effect of one inspection fixture adapting to products of various shapes.

[0034] In some embodiments, the specific structure of the automotive trim panel assembly fixture is as follows: Figure 1 As shown in Figure 5, it includes a frame and a sliding unit;

[0035] The frame has a rectangular outer frame 11 and an inner frame 111 on its inner side, and the inner frame 111 has an integral closed bottom plate 1111 on its inner side.

[0036] The main body of the sliding unit is the slide frame 12, which has two bodies, front and rear, and the two ends are connected by a plate. The plate and the body form a slot, which is slidably connected to the inner frame 111.

[0037] A sliding plate 121 is slidably installed between the two bodies of the slide 12 in the left and right direction. A rubber pad 1211 is fixed on the top of the sliding plate 121. The pads are pressed against the inner wall of the slide 12 to form frictional resistance and achieve a fixed effect.

[0038] The positioning component 13 is a cylindrical structure that is slidably installed inside the carriage 12 in the front-to-back direction, and has a self-locking block 133 at the bottom;

[0039] The upper end of the positioning component 13 is bolted to a connecting part 131. The connecting part 131 has a detection unit for positioning the outer contour of the decorative panel. The detection unit is a detection block, detection pin or profile plate specially designed according to the shape, hole position or contour of the decorative panel to be tested. It is detachably installed on the connecting part by bolts or pins.

[0040] Understandably, when switching products, the positioning part 13 is moved horizontally to the predetermined position according to the design drawings, and the interchangeable adapter 131 is used to form detection units of different shapes, so as to achieve the detection effect of the outer contour and size of various products.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3, the base plate 1111 is located near the bottom of the inner frame 111, and an inner groove is formed below it, which can be used to attach the designed product drawings.

[0042] Among them, the lower end of the card block 133 is fixed with a conical top 1331, which abuts against the bottom plate 1111 and forms a visible point below the bottom plate 1111;

[0043] Understandably, by moving the viewpoint to correspond to the node in the drawing, the positioning component 13 can be quickly arranged to correspond to the outer contour of the product.

[0044] like Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a support plate 14 is provided inside the frame, with side plates 141 extending downward from both ends, which are mounted above the inner frame 111 to form a sliding connection in the front-to-back direction.

[0045] The upper surface of the support plate 14 is flush with the upper surface of the carriage 12, and multiple support plates 14 are combined to form a table for supporting the product to be tested.

[0046] like Figure 3 As shown in Figure 4, a slide rail 1201 extending in the left and right direction is provided near the lower end of the slide plate 121, and the front and rear ends of the slide plate 121 are slidably installed inside the slide rail 1201.

[0047] Among them, the inclined surfaces at both ends of the rubber pad 1211 abut against the upper edge of the slide 1201, forming a compression deformation. When the slide 121 loses its thrust, the inclined surfaces of the rubber pad 1211 tightly abut against the slide 1201, forming a double-sided contact friction surface to achieve a self-locking effect.

[0048] Furthermore, the interior of the slide plate 121 is provided with a front-to-back groove 1212, and expansion pads 1213 are fixed on both sides of the groove 1212.

[0049] It should be noted that the expansion pad 1213 is a pad made of elastic material (such as rubber or silicone), which will undergo elastic deformation when compressed;

[0050] It is understandable that when the locking block 133 is inserted into the interior of the adjacent expansion pad 1213, the contact surface of the expansion pad 1213 is compressed and deformed, forming a concave positioning groove 12131, which engages with the locking block 133 to achieve the self-locking effect of the positioning component 13.

[0051] In addition, a cam 132 is fixed to the lower end of the positioning member 13, which abuts against the upper surface of the rubber pad 1211 to increase the resistance to tilting deformation and further fix the positioning member 13.

[0052] The specific usage methods of automotive trim panel assembly inspection tools, as disclosed in some publications, are as follows:

[0053] S1. Slide both ends of the slide 12 in the front-back direction to the outside of the inner frame 111, and use bolts and the washers at the ends to hold the outer frame 11. At this time, the slide 12 is in a pre-fixed state that can be dragged.

[0054] S2. Insert the slide plate 121 into the slide rail 1201 so that the rubber pad 1211 enters between the two bodies of the slide frame 12. The inclined surfaces at both ends of the rubber pad 1211 abut against the upper edge of the slide rail 1201 to form double-sided contact. At this time, the slide plate 121 is automatically fixed by frictional resistance.

[0055] S3. Insert the convex disc 132 into the interior of the adjacent expansion pad 1213. The expansion pad 1213 deforms to form a concave positioning groove 12131, which is engaged and fixed with the locking block 133.

[0056] S4. Install the predetermined number of carriages 12, slides 121, and positioning components 13 to the approximate area according to the design drawings;

[0057] S5. Attach the product design drawing paper to the lower surface of the base plate 1111. At this time, the conical top 1331 abuts against the upper surface of the base plate 1111 to form a visible point. Through the position of the visible point and the node in the drawing, the carriage 12, the slide plate 121 and the positioning part 13 are finely adjusted and positioned.

[0058] S6. Tighten the bolts further to make the washer press firmly against the outer frame 11, and fix the slide 12.

[0059] S7. Finally, the adapter 131 with the detection unit is installed on the positioning parts 13 at different positions according to the design drawings to form a complete assembly inspection fixture.
