Two mirror-symmetrical blind holes 25 are provided, a push rod 6 is axially slidably sleeved in each blind hole 25, a spring 24 fixedly connected to the end of the push rod 6 is horizontally fixed in each blind hole 25, two radially symmetrical second slide grooves 23 are axially provided in each blind hole 25, a second slider 22 is slidably connected in each second slide groove 23, two second sliders 22 are fixedly connected to the outer edge of each push rod 6, two mirror-symmetrical through holes 21 that are not connected to the inside of the annular airbag 5 are horizontally provided on the left and right sides of the annular airbag 5, the push rod 6 axially slides through the through holes 21, and a clamping plate 7 is fixed to the ends of the two push rods 6 on the same side;

[0023] The top surfaces of the two columns 2 are connected to a rotating shaft 10 for horizontal rotation. A limit block 8 is fixed at each end of the rotating shaft 10. A snap ring 9 is movably connected to each end of the rotating shaft 10. The two snap rings 9 are respectively fixed to the top surfaces of the two columns 2 by bolts. The outer edge of the rotating shaft 10 is fixedly connected to a support plate 11 fixed to the operating table 3. A fixed plate 13 is fixed between the two columns 2. The fixed plate 13 is provided with a driving member that is transmission-connected to the operating table 3. The driving member includes a driving motor 12 horizontally fixed to the front side of the fixed plate 13. The output end of the driving motor 12 is transmission-connected to a guide rod 15. The end of the guide rod 15 is movably connected to a U-shaped member 16. The U-shaped member 16 is movably connected to the operating table 3. A first slide groove 18 is provided on the rear side of the operating table 3. A first slider 19 is slidably connected in the first slide groove 18. The first slider 19 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped member 16.

[0024] By movably connecting an operating table 3 to the bottom plate 1, and providing a groove 4 on the operating table 3, movably connecting a clamping plate 7 in the groove 4, and providing an annular airbag 5 between the clamping plate 7 and the groove 4, the decorative cover of the instrument panel is clamped and fixed when being polished and deburred, thereby ensuring the stability of the decorative cover when being polished. The operating table 3 is arranged in a backward tilted position, and a driving member for driving the operating table 3 to flip is provided, so that the polishing angle of the decorative cover can be adjusted easily.

[0025] Working principle: When in use, first place the decorative cover to be polished in the groove 4 on the operating table 3. The two clamping plates 7 in the groove 4 on the operating table 3 will perform reverse relative displacement according to the length of the decorative cover. At the same time, the spring 24 is compressed and the decorative cover is initially clamped and fixed. Then the air pump 14 inflates the annular airbag 5 through the air pipe 20. The deflated annular airbag 5 expands and squeezes the clamping plates 7 while expanding, so that the clamping plates 7 and the decorative cover fit tightly, and then it is convenient to polish the decorative cover. When it is necessary to adjust the polishing angle of the decorative cover, the driving motor 12 drives the guide rod 15 to extend. The guide rod 15 drives the operating table 3 to continue to flip upward at a certain angle through the U-shaped piece 16, the first slide groove 18 and the first slider 19, and then continues to polish the decorative cover. When the polishing is completed, the air pump 14 extracts the gas in the annular airbag 5, so that the annular airbag 5 shrinks and shrinks. At this time, after the squeezing of the clamping plates 7 by the annular airbag 5 disappears, the polished decorative cover can be directly taken out from between the two clamping plates 7.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
