Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile parts tooling, and in particular to a common tooling for left and right rudders of an instrument panel crossbeam. Background Art

[0002] Usually, the left rudder component and the right rudder component are installed on the left and right sides of the cross beam of the car dashboard respectively. The left and right rudders are both provided with the first cantilever and the second cantilever connected to other parts of the car. According to the connection conditions, the first cantilever and the second cantilever have a height difference and the cantilever lengths of the first cantilever and the second cantilever are different. Since the left rudder component is located on the left side of the cross beam of the dashboard and the right rudder component is located on the right side of the cross beam of the dashboard, the left and right rudders are symmetrically arranged, and the first cantilever and the second cantilever on the left rudder will also be arranged symmetrically with the first cantilever and the second cantilever on the right rudder.

[0003] After injection molding, the left and right rudders will be mixed and placed in a turnover box and transported to the processing station. The staff will then need to place the left and right rudders on the tooling for processing. The first cantilever and the second cantilever are the places that need to be fixed on the tooling, and the other positions on the tooling for fixing the left and right rudders are symmetrically set and can be used interchangeably. In the related art, two toolings, a left rudder and a right rudder, are set for the left and right rudders. After the staff takes the left rudder from the turnover box, they move it to the left rudder tooling for processing; after taking the right rudder from the turnover box, they move it to the place where the right rudder is located for processing. However, the left and right rudder tooling is only different in the fixed positions of the first cantilever and the second cantilever, and the rest of the places are interchangeable. Setting two toolings, a left rudder and a right rudder, for the left and right rudders results in a waste of resources and materials. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to reduce the waste of tooling materials for the left and right rudders of the instrument panel cross beam, the present application provides a common tooling for the left and right rudders of the instrument panel cross beam.

[0005] The present application provides a common tooling for the left and right rudders of the instrument panel crossbeam, which adopts the following technical solution:

[0006] A common tooling for left and right rudders of an instrument panel cross beam, comprising a tooling frame and a cantilever fixing block, wherein two cantilever fixing blocks are provided, the two cantilever fixing blocks correspond to a first cantilever and a second cantilever respectively, and the two cantilever fixing blocks are both fixed to the tooling frame by bolts, and the tooling frame is provided with positioning bolt holes for positioning and installing the cantilever fixing blocks on the tooling frame, the cantilever fixing block located at the first cantilever can be positioned and installed at the second cantilever, and the cantilever fixing block located at the second cantilever can be positioned and installed at the first cantilever.

[0007] In order to more accurately position the first and second cantilevers of the left and right rudders on the tooling frame, two cantilever replacement fixing blocks for replacing the two cantilever fixing blocks are also installed on the tooling frame. The two cantilever replacement fixing blocks are installed at the corresponding positioning bolt holes by bolts.

[0008] In order to enable the cantilever fixing block to match the first cantilever or the second cantilever on the left and right rudders respectively without disassembling the cantilever fixing block, the cantilever fixing block includes a fixed base plate installed on the tooling frame and a positioning vertical plate slidably installed on the fixed base plate to position the cantilever of the left rudder or the right rudder.

[0009] In order to prevent the positioning vertical plate from being easily pulled off the fixed base plate and releasing the matching relationship with the fixed base plate during the sliding process, a T-block is provided at the bottom of the positioning vertical plate, and a T-slot is provided at the top of the fixed base plate for the T-block to be inserted and slide.

[0010] In order to enable the same positioning vertical plate to respectively position the first cantilever of the left rudder or the second cantilever of the right rudder, the positioning vertical plate is provided with a left rudder positioning hole for bolts to be inserted to fix the first cantilever on the left rudder and a right rudder positioning hole for bolts to be inserted to fix the second cantilever on the right rudder, and the left rudder positioning hole and the right rudder positioning hole are arranged at intervals.

[0011] In order to lock and limit the positioning vertical plate after it is moved to a suitable position, a locking hole is opened on the side wall of the T-block, and an elastic locking component is provided on the side wall of the fixed base plate. The elastic locking component includes a locking rod that is slidably inserted into the locking hole to limit the movement of the T-block.

[0012] In order to conveniently unlock the T-block and allow the positioning vertical plate to obtain a sliding adjustment position when replacing the left and right rudders, the elastic locking assembly also includes an unlocking rod that can disengage the locking rod from the locking hole, one end of the unlocking rod is connected to the locking rod, and the other end protrudes from the fixed base plate and is exposed to the outside.

[0013] In order to improve the stability of the locking rod when limiting the positioning vertical plate after the locking rod is inserted into the locking hole, the elastic locking assembly also includes a driving spring that drives the locking rod to always have a tendency to insert into the locking hole.

[0014] In order to lock the positioning vertical plates after the different cantilever movements of the left and right rudders, two groups of elastic locking components are provided, and the two groups of elastic locking components are arranged at intervals on the fixed bottom plate along the sliding direction of the positioning vertical plates.

[0015] In summary, the present application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0016] 1. The left and right rudders share a tooling frame. When the left rudder is replaced with the right rudder, the cantilever fixing blocks at the first cantilever of the left rudder and the second cantilever of the left rudder are simply swapped. Compared with the structure in which two toolings are provided for the left and right rudders, the above configuration only provides one tooling frame, thereby reducing the waste of materials;

[0017] 2. In order to improve the accuracy of positioning the left and right rudder cantilevers, two cantilever replacement fixing blocks are also provided, so that when the left or right rudder is fixed on the tooling frame, the corresponding cantilever fixing block or cantilever replacement fixing block can be selected. Compared with swapping the positions of the two cantilever fixing blocks when replacing the left and right rudders, the above structure has a special matching fixing block corresponding to the left and right rudders, so the left and right rudders are fixed more accurately;

[0018] 3. When the left rudder or the right rudder is fixed on the tooling frame, the first cantilever and the second cantilever of the left and right rudders can be correspondingly moved and positioned at the vertical plates, without the need to dismantle and replace the entire cantilever fixing block, thereby further improving the convenience of using the tooling. At the same time, after the positioning vertical plate is moved, it can be locked in a limited position under the action of the elastic locking component, thereby improving the stability of the positioning vertical plate when cooperating with the cantilever.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] The following is combined with Figure 1-7 This application is described in further detail.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 The figure shows the left and right rudders of the instrument panel cross beam. The upper one is the left rudder and the lower one is the right rudder. It can be seen from the figure that the left and right rudders are symmetrically arranged. The side wall on the top of the left rudder is provided with a first cantilever 10 and a second cantilever 20. There is a height difference between the first cantilever 10 and the second cantilever 20, and the length of the cantilever is not easy to be extended. The right rudder is also provided with a first cantilever 10 and a second cantilever 20, but the first cantilever 10 and the second cantilever 20 on the right rudder and the first cantilever 10 and the second cantilever 20 on the left rudder are symmetrically arranged.

[0029] The present application embodiment discloses a common tooling for the left and right rudders of the instrument panel cross beam. Figure 2 and Figure 3 The common tooling for the left and right rudders of the instrument panel cross beam includes a tooling frame 1 and a cantilever fixing block 2. Taking the installation of the left rudder on the tooling as an example, two cantilever fixing blocks 2 are provided, and the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 correspond to the first cantilever and the second cantilever on the left rudder, respectively, and the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 are installed on the tooling frame 1 by bolts. If the left rudder on the tooling is replaced with the right rudder, the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 can be removed from the tooling frame 1 and swapped, that is, the cantilever fixing block 2 located at the first cantilever is positioned and installed at the second cantilever; the cantilever fixing block 2 located at the second cantilever is positioned and installed at the first cantilever, thereby saving the material of one tooling frame 1.

[0030] A plurality of positioning plates 11 are provided on the tooling frame 1, and the plurality of positioning plates 11 are distributed at intervals on the tooling frame 1, and the plurality of positioning plates 11 are welded to the tooling frame 1. Since the left rudder and the right rudder have only a difference in position at the first cantilever and the second cantilever, and the other positions that need to be fixed are arranged symmetrically, some positioning plates 11 are symmetrically distributed on the tooling frame 1. Each positioning plate 11 is provided with a mounting hole for bolts to pass through to fix the left rudder or the right rudder to the tooling frame 1.

[0031] Reference Figure 2and Figure 3 Positioning bolt holes 12 are provided at the positions of the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 on the tooling frame 1, so that the cantilever fixing blocks 2 can be positioned and installed on the tooling frame 1 each time after being disassembled. The first cantilever and the second cantilever on the left rudder are both in contact with the corresponding cantilever fixing blocks 2 on the side away from the left rudder. Similarly, each cantilever fixing block 2 is also provided with a mounting hole for bolts to fix the first cantilever or the second cantilever to the corresponding cantilever fixing block 2.

[0032] It is particularly noted here that, since the first cantilever and the second cantilever have a height difference, the heights of the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 can be consistent or inconsistent, as long as it does not affect the positioning and installation of the first cantilever or the second cantilever. In this embodiment, it is preferred that the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 have different heights. Similarly, the mounting holes opened on the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 also have a height difference.

[0033] The implementation principle of the common tooling for the left and right rudders of an instrument panel cross beam in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: if the left rudder is originally fixed on the tooling, and then the right rudder needs to be fixed, since the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 are installed on the tooling frame 1 by bolts, the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 can be removed from the tooling frame 1 and reinstalled on the tooling frame 1 after swapping their positions. The above structure can directly save one tooling frame 1, so that the left and right rudders can share one tooling.

[0034] Embodiment 2: Reference Figure 4 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that two cantilever replacement fixing blocks 13 are further provided on the tooling frame 1. The two cantilever replacement fixing blocks 13 can replace the two cantilever fixing blocks 2. For example, when the left rudder is installed on the tooling frame 1, the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 are installed on the tooling frame 1 to position the first cantilever and the second cantilever of the left rudder; if the right rudder is installed on the tooling frame 1, the two cantilever fixing blocks 2 are removed and then the two cantilever replacement fixing blocks 13 are installed at the corresponding positions, so that the two cantilever replacement fixing blocks 13 position the first cantilever and the second cantilever of the right rudder.

[0035] The implementation principle of the common tooling for the left and right rudders of an instrument panel cross beam in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: two sets of fixing blocks are provided for the left and right rudders, so that the left and right rudders have their own set of fixing blocks, thereby making positioning more accurate.

[0036] Embodiment 3: Reference Figure 5 The difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that the cantilever fixing block 2 includes a fixing base plate 21 mounted on the tooling frame 1 and a positioning vertical plate 22 slidably mounted on the fixing base plate 21. After replacing the left rudder or the right rudder on the tooling frame 1, it is not necessary to remove the cantilever fixing block 2, and only the positioning vertical plate 22 needs to be moved.

[0037] The fixed base plate 21 is installed on the tooling frame 1 by bolts, and the positioning vertical plate 22 has a left rudder positioning hole 221 and a right rudder positioning hole 222 for bolts to be inserted to fix the first cantilever or the second cantilever on the left rudder or the right rudder. The left rudder positioning hole 221 and the right rudder positioning hole 222 are arranged at intervals and have a height difference between the left rudder positioning hole 221 and the right rudder positioning hole 222.

[0038] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6 A T-shaped block 223 is provided at the bottom of the positioning vertical plate 22, and a T-shaped slot 211 is provided at the top of the fixed bottom plate 21 for the T-shaped block 223 to be inserted and slided. The extension direction of the T-shaped slot 211 is consistent with the extension direction of the first cantilever or the second cantilever. In order to facilitate the T-shaped block 223 to enter the T-shaped slot 211, an entrance slot 212 is provided on the side wall of one side of the fixed bottom plate 21. The entrance slot 212 is located at one end of the T-shaped slot 211, and the entrance slot 212 and the T-shaped slot 211 form an L-shaped slot. In order to prevent the positioning vertical plate 22 from being easily separated from the entrance slot 212 during the sliding process, a blocking bar 213 is inserted into the entrance slot 212 and fixed by bolts. In order to prevent the bolts fixing the blocking bar 213 from interfering with the movement of the positioning vertical plate 22, a countersunk hole for bolt installation is provided on the blocking bar 213.

[0039] Since the same positioning vertical plate 22 has two positions corresponding to the left rudder and the right rudder, two groups of elastic locking components 3 for limiting the movement of the positioning vertical plate 22 are installed on the side wall of the fixed base plate 21. The two groups of elastic locking components 3 are arranged at intervals along the sliding direction of the positioning vertical plate 22, and the two groups of elastic locking components 3 respectively lock the positioning vertical plate 22 at the corresponding positions.

[0040] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The two sets of elastic locking components 3 are both located on the side of the fixed bottom plate 21 away from the inlet groove 212. A locking hole 2231 is provided on the side of the T-block 223 close to the elastic locking component 3, and a component of the elastic locking component 3 is inserted into the locking hole 2231 to lock the positioning vertical plate 22.

[0041] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7The elastic locking assembly 3 includes a locking rod 31, an unlocking rod 32, a driving spring 33 and a threaded sleeve 34. A telescopic groove 341 is provided at one end of the threaded sleeve 34, and the driving spring 33 is installed in the telescopic groove 341. The locking rod 31 is inserted into the telescopic groove 341 and can be telescopically moved in the telescopic groove 341, and the locking rod 31 can be inserted into the locking hole 2231. One end of the driving spring 33 abuts against the bottom of the telescopic groove 341; the other end abuts against the locking rod 31. One end of the unlocking rod 32 is fixedly installed on one end of the locking rod 31 close to the driving spring 33; the other end extends in a direction close to the bottom of the telescopic groove 341 and passes through the threaded sleeve 34 to be exposed to the outside. When the unlocking rod 32 is pulled, the locking rod 31 can be driven to move and retract into the telescopic groove 341.

[0042] An assembly hole 214 is provided on the side wall of the fixed base plate 21. One end of the threaded sleeve 34 with the telescopic groove 341 is inserted into the assembly hole 214 and threadedly installed on the fixed base plate 21, while the end of the threaded sleeve 34 facing away from the telescopic groove 341 protrudes from the assembly hole 214 and is exposed to the outside. A connecting hole is provided at the bottom of the assembly hole 214 so that only the locking rod 31 can pass through and be inserted into the locking hole 2231. Under the action of the driving spring 33, the locking rod 31 is partially inserted into the locking hole 2231; and part of it is located in the telescopic groove 341. When it is necessary to release the locking rod 31 from locking the positioning vertical plate 22, it is only necessary to pull the unlocking rod 32 to drive the locking rod 31 to move in the direction close to the driving spring 33 and completely disengage from the locking hole 2231.

[0043] The implementation principle of the common tooling for the left and right rudders of an instrument panel cross beam in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: when the left rudder or the right rudder is fixed on the tooling frame 1, the first cantilever and the second cantilever of the left and right rudders can correspondingly move the positioning vertical plates 22, without the need to disassemble and replace the entire cantilever fixing block 2, thereby further improving the convenience of using the tooling. At the same time, after the positioning vertical plate 22 is moved, it can be locked in a limited position under the action of the elastic locking component 3, thereby improving the stability of the positioning vertical plate 22 when cooperating with the cantilever.

[0044] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
