[0002] The A-pillar of a car is a connecting column that is located on the left and right front of the car, connecting the roof and the front cabin. The upper trim of the A-pillar is a plate-like part installed on the upper part of the A-pillar for decorative purposes. Since the upper trim of the A-pillar needs to cover multiple positions, its contour is irregular, and the surface is not flat, but has ups and downs. After the A-pillar upper trim is produced, it must be inspected with a matching inspection fixture to verify the position accuracy of each mounting hole. The inspection fixture is a fixture used to fix the workpiece for easy inspection.

[0003] Since the mounting holes on the A-pillar upper trim are not distributed in a centralized manner, but are divided into three areas, each area is provided with a plurality of mounting holes; however, the existing inspection fixture for the A-pillar upper trim cannot detect the mounting holes in each area at the same time, but needs to be carried out in three steps, and three independent matching inspection fixtures need to be made to inspect the mounting holes in each area in turn, so the operation is quite troublesome, and it takes a lot of time to transfer the A-pillar upper trim back and forth between the three inspection fixtures, which is both time-consuming and labor-intensive, resulting in low work efficiency, and also increases the manufacturing cost of the inspection fixture, so further improvement is needed.
