[0002] Automotive interiors mainly refer to automotive products used in the modification of the car's interior, involving all aspects of the car's interior. Automotive interior parts include various items such as the dashboard, door panels, floor mats, seats, and steering wheel. Currently, clamping and fixing devices are required when welding automotive interior parts to ensure the stability of the welding process. In existing automotive interior parts welding, the process involves first assembling the automotive interior parts and placing them on a mounting plate, then opening a hydraulic cylinder. The hydraulic cylinder then lowers a pressure plate and presses the automotive interior parts firmly.
[0003] However, existing technologies still have significant shortcomings, such as: In the existing technology: during the welding process of automotive interior parts, automotive interior parts usually have complex three-dimensional curved surfaces, while traditional pressure plates are mostly rigid structures, which can easily lead to uneven pressure on the welding surface, resulting in defects such as incomplete welding and poor appearance. Furthermore, some existing improvement solutions use simple elastic pads or discrete spring columns, which have some improvement, but have two major problems: First, each elastic unit acts independently and lacks coordination, making it impossible to ensure uniform pressure across the entire welding surface; second, the adaptive angle is limited, and it is still difficult to fully fit steep curved surfaces.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: 1. This invention utilizes an adaptive clamping unit to install several first piston cylinders through the bottom of the mounting housing. Each first piston cylinder contains a first piston plate and a first piston rod. The first piston plate can move under the action of a piston spring. When the adaptive clamping unit contacts the automotive interior trim, each first piston rod can automatically extend and retract according to the shape and surface undulation of the trim. Simultaneously, the hydraulic oil filling the mounting housing and each first piston cylinder are connected by connecting pipes, allowing the hydraulic oil to flow freely between the first piston cylinders. Due to the flow characteristics of the hydraulic oil, the actions of each first piston rod can coordinate with each other. For example, if a first piston rod is subjected to greater pressure and contracts upward, the hydraulic oil in that first piston cylinder will flow to other first piston cylinders through the connecting pipes, pushing the other first piston rods to make corresponding adjustments. This ensures that the entire welding surface receives uniform pressure, thus avoiding defects such as incomplete welding and poor appearance that are easily generated by traditional rigid pressure plates. 2. The present invention, through the setting of the adaptive fitting component, has a mounting groove between the fitting end sleeved on the surface of the spherical joint and the spherical joint, and several first return springs are installed around the surface of the spherical joint. When the fitting end contacts the curved surface of the automotive interior part, due to the special structure of the spherical joint, the fitting end can flexibly adjust the angle according to the shape of the interior part. The fitting end can rotate around the spherical joint to adapt to the tilt angle of the curved surface. During the adjustment of the fitting end angle, the first return spring will generate corresponding elastic force according to the position change of the fitting end, ensuring that the fitting end can stably fit on the curved surface of the interior part after the angle is adjusted. At the same time, the telescopic column and the first piston rod further enhance the adaptive capability of the device. The telescopic column can extend and retract within a certain range, and combined with the telescopic action of the first piston rod, the device can fit completely even when facing steep curved surfaces. 3. Through the setting of the stamping unit, when the automotive interior parts are placed on the placement plate, the placement plate will descend under the weight of the interior parts and the clamping force of the adaptive clamping unit. The descent of the placement plate will drive the second piston plate to slide down in the second piston cylinder, compressing the fourth return spring. During the compression process, the gas in the second piston cylinder is transported to the mounting housing through the air pipe and hose. The gas entering the mounting housing pushes the pressure plate down to pressurize the hydraulic oil in the mounting housing, thereby further improving the stability of the automotive interior parts during fixing and ensuring that the interior parts will not shift during the welding process. 4. This invention, through the design of the pressure relief unit, allows hydraulic oil to exert pressure on the baffle in the pressure relief pipe when the internal pressure of the mounting housing is too high. This pressure pushes the baffle to compress the pressure spring. When the pressure exceeds the set value, hydraulic oil enters the pressure relief housing through the oil inlet to relieve pressure, thus preventing damage to the device and automotive interior parts due to excessive pressure. Simultaneously, by rotating the handle, the position of the adjusting screw can be adjusted to change the preload of the pressure spring, thereby adjusting the set value of the pressure relief pressure. The movable plate and return oil pipe enable the return flow of hydraulic oil after pressure relief. When hydraulic oil enters the pressure relief housing, the movable plate rises under the pressure of the hydraulic oil. When the pressure inside the mounting housing decreases, the movable plate descends under the action of the return spring and cooperates with the T-shaped movable rod, causing the mounting housing to contact the top of the mounting bracket's inner cavity when it resets. This pushes the hydraulic oil, which then enters the return oil pipe through the pressure valve, allowing the hydraulic oil to flow back into the mounting housing, thereby improving the reliability of this invention.

When the automotive interior parts are fixed, the adaptive clamping unit 35 can be fixed according to the shape of the automotive interior parts to improve the stability during fixing. The adaptive clamping unit 35 includes a mounting housing 351 fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 34. A plurality of first piston cylinders 352 are installed through the bottom of the mounting housing 351, and a first piston plate 353 is slidably installed inside each of the first piston cylinders 352. A first piston rod 354 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the first piston plate 353.

The first piston plate 353 and the first piston rod 354 are connected through the oil inlet hole 359. A push block 3501 is slidably installed inside the first piston rod 354, and a slide rod 3502 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the push block 3501. The bottom end of the slide rod 3502 passes through the first piston rod 354 and extends to the bottom end of the first piston rod 354. One end of the slide rod 3502 located outside the first piston rod 354 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic column 355. A second return spring 3503 is fixedly installed between the push block 3501 and the inner wall of the first piston rod 354. Both the top of the welding platform 10 and the interior of the mounting housing 351 are equipped with stamping units 36. When the adaptive clamping unit 35 fixes the automotive interior parts, the stamping unit 36 can pressurize the interior of the mounting housing 351 to further improve the stability of the automotive interior parts during fixing. In this embodiment, when the adaptive clamping unit 35 contacts the automotive interior trim, each first piston rod 354 can automatically extend and retract according to the shape and surface undulation of the interior trim. At the same time, the hydraulic oil filled in the mounting housing 351 and each first piston cylinder 352 are connected by a connecting pipe 358, allowing the hydraulic oil to flow freely between each first piston cylinder 352. Due to the flow characteristics of the hydraulic oil, the actions of each first piston rod 354 can coordinate with each other. For example, if a first piston rod 354 is subjected to greater pressure and contracts upward, the hydraulic oil in that first piston cylinder 352 will flow to other first piston cylinders 352 through the connecting pipe 358, pushing other first piston rods 354 to make corresponding adjustments, thereby ensuring that the entire welding surface can obtain uniform pressure, so as to avoid defects such as incomplete welding and poor appearance that are easily generated by the traditional rigid pressure plate 361.

The top end of the second piston rod 366 passes through the second piston cylinder 363 and extends to the outside of the second piston cylinder 363. A placement plate 367 is fixedly installed at the end of the second piston rod 366 located outside the second piston cylinder 363. A gas pipe 368 is connected to the bottom of one side of the placement plate 367. The end of the gas pipe 368 away from the second piston cylinder 363 passes through the mounting bracket 33 and extends to the top of the inner side of the mounting bracket 33. A hose 369 is connected to the end of the gas pipe 368 located inside the mounting bracket 33. The bottom end of the hose 369 is connected to one side of the top of the mounting housing 351. In this embodiment, when the automotive interior trim is placed on the placement plate 367, the placement plate 367 will descend under the weight of the interior trim and the clamping force of the adaptive clamping unit 35. The descent of the placement plate 367 will cause the second piston plate 364 to slide down inside the second piston cylinder 363, compressing the fourth return spring 365. During the compression process, the gas inside the second piston cylinder 363 is transported to the mounting housing 351 through the air pipe 368 and the hose 369. The gas entering the mounting housing 351 pushes the pressure plate 361 down to pressurize the hydraulic oil inside the mounting housing 351, thereby further improving the stability of the automotive interior trim when it is fixed and ensuring that the interior trim will not shift during the welding process.

Several oil supply holes 3702 for pressure relief are opened between the pressure relief pipe 373 and the inner wall of the pressure relief housing 371. In this embodiment, when the internal pressure of the mounting housing 351 is too high, the hydraulic oil will exert pressure on the baffle 374 in the pressure relief pipe 373, pushing the baffle 374 to compress the pressure spring 375. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the hydraulic oil will enter the pressure relief housing 371 through the oil inlet 3702 to relieve pressure, thereby avoiding damage to the device and automotive interior parts due to excessive pressure. At the same time, by turning the handle 379, the position of the adjusting screw 378 can be adjusted to change the preload of the pressure spring 375, thereby adjusting the set value of the pressure relief pressure.

In this embodiment, the movable plate 3703 and the return oil pipe 3706 enable the return of hydraulic oil after pressure relief. When hydraulic oil enters the pressure relief housing 371, the movable plate 3703 will rise under the pressure of the hydraulic oil. When the pressure inside the mounting housing 351 decreases, the movable plate 3703 will descend under the action of the return spring 3705 and cooperate with the T-shaped movable rod 3704 so that when the mounting housing 351 is reset, it contacts the top of the inner cavity of the mounting bracket 33, pushes the hydraulic oil, and enters the return oil pipe 3706 through the pressure valve 3707, so that the hydraulic oil returns to the mounting housing 351, thereby improving the reliability of the device.

In this embodiment, during the welding process, the second electric push rod 308 can push the slider 305 to slide within the slot 304. The sliding of the slider 305 will drive the first electric push rod 34 to move. At the same time, since the rack 306 on the slider 305 meshes with the linkage gear 307, when the slider 305 moves, the linkage gear 307 will rotate, causing the two first electric push rods 34 to move synchronously in opposite directions, so as to further adjust the position of the adaptive clamping unit 35 and ensure that the adaptive clamping unit 35 can always provide stable pressure to the automotive interior parts during the welding process.

[0029] Working principle: When welding automotive interior parts is required, the servo motor 302 is started. The servo motor 302 drives the active bevel gear 303 to rotate. The active bevel gear 303 meshes with the driven bevel gear 301. Since the driven bevel gear 301 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional screw 31, the rotation of the active bevel gear 303 will drive the bidirectional screw 31 to rotate. The threaded blocks 32 on both sides of the surface of the bidirectional screw 31 will move under the action of the threads. The threaded blocks 32 drive the mounting bracket 33 to move to the appropriate position. The automotive interior trim is then placed on the placement plate 367, and the first electric push rod 34 is activated. The telescopic rod of the first electric push rod 34 extends, causing the adaptive pressing unit 35 to descend. The telescopic column 355 at the bottom of the first piston rod 354 in the adaptive pressing unit 35 and the adaptive fitting component 356 first contact the surface of the automotive interior trim. When in contact with the surface of the interior trim, each first piston rod 354 will extend or retract according to the shape and surface undulation of the interior trim. For example, when encountering a raised part on the surface of the interior trim, the corresponding first piston rod 354 will retract upward under pressure, and the first piston plate 353 will slide upward within the first piston cylinder 352, compressing the piston spring 357. When encountering a concave part, the first piston rod 354 will extend downward under the elastic force of the piston spring 357. Furthermore, since the mounting housing 351 is filled with hydraulic oil, and each first piston cylinder 352 is connected by a connecting pipe 358, the hydraulic oil will flow between each first piston cylinder 352. When a first piston rod 354 contracts, the hydraulic oil in that first piston cylinder 352 will flow to other first piston cylinders 352 through the connecting pipe 358, pushing other first piston rods 354 to make corresponding adjustments, so that the actions of each first piston rod 354 are coordinated with each other, so as to further ensure the uniform pressure of the entire welding surface. When the adaptive fitting component 356 comes into contact with the curved surface of the automotive interior trim, the fitting end 3563 can flexibly adjust its angle under the action of the spherical joint 3562 to adapt to the shape of the curved surface of the interior trim. When encountering an inclined curved surface, the fitting end 3563 will rotate around the spherical joint 3562, and the first return spring 3565 will generate corresponding elastic force according to the position change of the fitting end 3563, ensuring that the fitting end 3563 can stably fit on the curved surface of the interior trim after adjusting the angle. At the same time, the telescopic cooperation of the telescopic column 355 further enhances the device's adaptability to curved surfaces. The placement plate 367 descends under the weight of the automotive interior parts and the pressure of the adaptive clamping unit 35. The descent of the placement plate 367 causes the second piston plate 364 to slide down inside the second piston cylinder 363, compressing the fourth return spring 365. As the second piston plate 364 slides down, the gas inside the second piston cylinder 363 is compressed. The gas is transported to the mounting housing 351 through the air pipe 368 and the hose 369. The gas entering the mounting housing 351 pushes the pressure plate 361 down, pressurizing the hydraulic oil inside the mounting housing 351. When the internal pressure of the housing 351 is too high, the hydraulic oil will exert a large pressure on the baffle 374 in the pressure relief pipe 373, pushing the baffle 374 to compress the pressure spring 375. When the pressure exceeds the set value, the hydraulic oil will enter the pressure relief housing 371 through the oil supply hole 3702 to relieve pressure, thereby avoiding damage to the device and automotive interior parts caused by excessive pressure. When hydraulic oil enters the pressure relief housing 371, the movable plate 3703 will rise under the pressure of the hydraulic oil. When the pressure inside the mounting housing 351 decreases, the movable plate 3703 will fall under the action of the return spring 3705 and cooperate with the T-shaped movable rod 3704 so that when the mounting housing 351 is reset, it will contact the top of the inner cavity of the mounting bracket 33, push the hydraulic oil, and enter the return oil pipe 3706 through the pressure valve 3707, so that the hydraulic oil can flow back into the mounting housing 351.
