Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of automotive interior component assembly, and more specifically to an automotive interior component assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of the automotive industry, consumers have put forward increasingly higher requirements for the comfort, aesthetics and assembly quality of automotive interiors. As the core components that constitute the in-vehicle environment, the assembly precision of automotive interior parts directly affects the assembly effect and user experience of the entire vehicle interior. As a common sealing, cushioning and decorative accessory in automotive interior parts, rubber strips usually need to be tightly assembled in the pre-set assembly slots of the interior parts. Their assembly quality is not only related to the sealing and sound insulation of the interior parts, but also has an important impact on the overall appearance flatness of the interior parts.

[0003] Currently, semi-mechanized assembly equipment for automotive interior parts can only apply unidirectional pressure to the rubber strips, making it difficult to meet the requirement of multi-directional bonding between the rubber strips and the assembly grooves. It cannot ensure that all parts of the rubber strips are tightly pressed onto the interior parts, and there is still considerable room for improvement in assembly quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automotive interior parts assembly equipment to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art.

[0005] An automotive interior parts assembly equipment includes a workbench, a fixing mechanism, and an assembly mechanism. The workbench is provided with a support seat, the support seat has a limiting groove for placing automotive interior parts, and one side of the support seat is provided with a positioning block for inserting into the mounting hole of the automotive interior parts. The fixing mechanism is located on the workbench and is used to clamp and fix the automotive interior parts in the support seat; The assembly mechanism is located on both sides of the support base and is used to assemble the adhesive strips to both sides of the automotive interior parts.

[0006] Preferably, the fixing mechanism includes a clamping cylinder, a pressure plate, and a drive plate. The cylinder body of the clamping cylinder is installed in the workbench. The end of the pressure plate is hinged to the upper end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder by a pin. One end of the drive plate is hinged to the pressure plate by a pin, and the other end of the drive plate is hinged to the vertical plate on the workbench by a pin.

[0007] Preferably, the assembly mechanism includes a fixed cylinder, a drive cylinder, a lower extrusion plate, and a swing plate. The fixed cylinder is connected to the side of the support seat via a connecting seat. The cylinder body of the drive cylinder is connected to the connecting seat via a connecting plate. A guide rod is slidably connected in the fixed cylinder. The piston rod of the drive cylinder is connected to a piston at the lower end of the guide rod. One end of the lower extrusion plate is hinged to the upper end of the guide rod via a pin. The other end of the lower extrusion plate is provided with a downward pressure column. One end of the swing plate is hinged to the lower extrusion plate via a pin. The other end of the swing plate is hinged to a side plate on the side of the fixed cylinder via a pin. Vent pipes communicating with the fixed cylinder are symmetrically provided on both sides of the fixed cylinder. A slide rod is slidably connected to the end of the vent pipe facing the automotive interior parts. A piston is provided at the inner end of the slide rod. The piston is connected to the inner wall of the vent pipe via a tension spring.

[0008] Preferably, the pressure column is made of rubber.

[0009] Preferably, the outer end of the slide bar is provided with a universal ball, which is embedded in the side pressure block.

[0010] Preferably, the swing plate is provided in two symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower extrusion plate.

[0011] Preferably, the cylinder body of the clamping cylinder is connected to the "L"-shaped support plate on the workbench.

[0012] Preferably, the connecting plate has an overall "L" shaped structure.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting groove is an arc-shaped structure that mates with the bottom of the automotive interior trim.

[0014] The beneficial effects achieved by this invention are as follows: This application uses a fixing mechanism to clamp and fix the automotive interior trim parts in the limiting groove of the support seat. When the guide rod is driven upward by the drive cylinder of the assembly mechanism, the downward pressure column at the end of the lower extrusion plate can apply vertical downward pressure to the upper surface of the rubber strip, ensuring that the rubber strip adheres to the assembly groove. At the same time, the piston at the lower end of the guide rod moves in the fixed cylinder, compressing air and pushing the piston at the vent pipe and the slide rod to move. The side pressure block at the outer end of the slide rod can apply horizontal pressure to the side of the rubber strip, making the rubber strip tightly adhere to the side wall of the assembly groove. This multi-directional synchronous pressing method solves the problem of loose adhesion of the rubber strip caused by traditional unidirectional pressing, ensuring that all parts of the rubber strip adhere to the interior trim part assembly groove, significantly improving the firmness and sealing of the rubber strip assembly, and reducing the risk of the rubber strip lifting or falling off.

[0026] like Figure 1-7 As shown, the present invention provides an automotive interior parts assembly equipment, including a workbench 1, a fixing mechanism 4, and an assembly mechanism 5. The workbench 1 is provided with a support seat 2, and the support seat 2 is provided with a limiting groove 21 for placing automotive interior parts. The limiting groove 21 is an arc-shaped structure that matches the bottom of the automotive interior parts, which can achieve a higher precision fit with the bottom of the automotive interior parts, restricting the rotation and shaking of the automotive interior parts in the limiting groove 21, and providing more reliable support. One side of the support seat 2 is provided with a positioning block 3 for inserting into the mounting hole of the automotive interior parts. In addition, the fixing mechanism 4 is provided on the workbench 1 and is used to clamp and fix the automotive interior parts in the support seat 2. The fixing mechanism 4 includes a clamping cylinder 41, a pressure plate 43 and a drive plate 44. The cylinder body of the clamping cylinder 41 is connected to the support plate 42 with an "L" shape on the workbench 1. The end of the pressure plate 43 is hinged to the upper end of the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 41 by a pin. One end of the drive plate 44 is hinged to the pressure plate 43 by a pin, and the other end of the drive plate 44 is hinged to the vertical plate 45 on the workbench 1 by a pin. When the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 41 extends, the pressure plate 43 can press the automotive interior parts into the limiting groove 21 of the support seat 2.

[0027] In addition, the assembly mechanism 5 is located on both sides of the support base 2 and is used to assemble the rubber strip to both sides of the automotive interior parts. The assembly mechanism 5 includes a fixed cylinder 51, a drive cylinder 53, a lower extrusion plate 55 and a swing plate 56. The fixed cylinder 51 is connected to the side of the support base 2 through a connecting seat 52. The cylinder body of the drive cylinder 53 is connected to the connecting seat 52 through an "L"-shaped connecting plate 531. A guide rod 54 is slidably connected in the fixed cylinder 51. The piston rod of the drive cylinder 53 is connected to the piston 541 at the lower end of the guide rod 54. One end of the lower extrusion plate 55 is hinged to the upper end of the guide rod 54 through a pin. The other end of the lower extrusion plate 55 is provided with a pressing column 551 made of rubber material. The pressing column 551 presses the rubber strip into the assembly groove of the automotive interior parts. However, the swing plate 56 is provided in two and symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower extrusion plate 55. One end of the swing plate 56 is hinged to the lower extrusion plate 55 by a pin, and the other end of the swing plate 56 is hinged to the side plate 511 on the side of the fixed cylinder 51 by a pin. In addition, the fixed cylinder 51 is symmetrically provided with vent pipes 57 communicating with the fixed cylinder 51 on both sides. The end of the vent pipe 57 facing the automotive interior parts is slidably connected to a slide rod 58. The outer end of the slide rod 58 is provided with a universal ball 581. The universal ball 581 is embedded in the side pressure block 59. This structure allows the side pressure block 59 to adaptively adjust its angle according to the side profile of the rubber strip. In addition, the inner end of the slide rod 58 is provided with a second piston 582. The second piston 582 is connected to the inner wall of the vent pipe 57 through a tension spring 583. When the first piston 541 is reset, the second piston 582 and the slide rod 58 are reset by the tension spring 583. The piston 541 at the lower end of the guide rod 54 moves upward in the fixed cylinder 51, compressing the air in the cylinder. The air pressure pushes the piston 582 in the vent pipe 57 to move outward, causing the slide rod 58 to press the rubber strip from the side, so that it is close to the side wall of the car interior parts.

[0028] Detailed implementation methods and principles: During the work, the worker places the automotive interior parts to be installed into the limiting groove 21 of the support seat 2 on the workbench 1. During the placement process, the positioning block 3 on the support seat 2 needs to be inserted into the mounting hole of the automotive interior parts. Next, control the clamping cylinder 41. The piston rod of the clamping cylinder 41 extends upward and pushes the pressure plate 43 to rotate. The pressure plate 43 firmly clamps and fixes the automotive interior parts in the support seat 2, preventing the automotive interior parts from shifting or shaking during subsequent assembly. Then, the worker places the rubber strip to be assembled in the assembly slots on both sides of the automotive interior parts. Next, the piston rod of the drive cylinder 53 extends upward, pushing the guide rod 54 connected to it to slide upward along the axis of the fixed cylinder 51. The upper end of the guide rod 54 drives the lower extrusion plate 55 to rotate. The lower pressure column 551 at the end of the lower extrusion plate 55 contacts the upper surface of the rubber strip that is pre-placed in the assembly slots on both sides of the automotive interior parts and applies downward pressure. At the same time, the piston 1 541 compresses the air in the fixed cylinder 51 and the vent pipe 57 during the movement and pushes the piston 2 582 and the slide rod 58 to move along the vent pipe 57 toward the automotive interior parts. The side pressure plate 43 at the outer end of the slide rod 58 applies horizontal pressure to the side of the rubber strip, pressing the rubber strip tightly into the assembly slot of the automotive interior parts, ensuring the fit between the rubber strip and the interior parts, and completing the final assembly of the rubber strip. Next, workers can install the corresponding accessories on other parts of the car's interior.

[0029] The embodiments of the present invention described above do not constitute a limitation on the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
