[0003] In the existing inspection of the steering column bracket, it is necessary to fix the steering column bracket through the limit fixing assembly at the top of the inspection fixture, so that the position of the steering column bracket that needs to be inspected after being fixed just corresponds to the position of the inspection assembly at the inspection fixture, which is convenient for the inspection of the steering column bracket. Since the structure of the steering column bracket is relatively complex, it is necessary to inspect multiple parts of the steering column bracket. At the same time, during the inspection process, the inspection assembly needs to be on one side of the inspection part of the steering column bracket, thereby narrowing the distance between the inspection assembly and the steering column bracket. In the process of installing and disassembling the steering column bracket, it is easy for the steering column bracket to touch the inspection assembly, thereby causing damage to the inspection assembly, which is inconvenient for installing and disassembling the steering column bracket. In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, we propose an automobile dashboard cross beam steering column bracket assembly inspection fixture to solve the above problems.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the utility model clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the utility model is described clearly and completely. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0019] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0020] The utility model embodiment discloses a vehicle instrument panel cross beam steering column bracket assembly inspection tool.

[0021] According to the attached Figure 1-4 As shown, it includes a detection platform 1, a first detection unit 2 and a second detection unit 201 are respectively arranged on both sides of the top of the detection platform 1, a fixed clamping unit 3 is arranged between the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201, and a mounting plate 4 is arranged at the bottom of the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201. An adjusting component 5 is arranged inside the detection platform 1, and the adjusting component 5 drives the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201 to move away from each other. The adjusting component 5 includes a bidirectional screw 501 rotatably connected to the inside of the detection platform 1, and both ends of the bidirectional screw 501 are fixedly connected to a driving gear 502; before the detection of the pipe column support, the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201 are driven by the adjusting component 5. The detection unit 2 is separated from the second detection unit 201, leaving a larger space between the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201, and then the pipe column bracket is picked up and clamped and fixed by the fixing clamping unit 3, and then the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201 on both sides are driven to approach each other through the adjustment component 5, so that the detection heads on the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201 are respectively close to the required detection positions on the pipe column bracket, and then the positions of the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201 after movement are fixed by the locking unit 6 at the bottom, and the pipe column bracket is inspected by the detection heads on the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201.

[0022] A locking unit 6 is provided at the bottom end of the detection platform 1. The locking unit 6 includes a driving component and a locking tooth block 601. The locking tooth block 601 is located at the bottom end of the driving gear 502. The driving component drives the locking tooth block 601 to move up and engage with the driving gear 502. The positions of the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 201 are fixed by the mutual engagement of the locking tooth block 601 and the driving gear 502. After the detection, the locking unit 6 no longer fixes the two groups of detection units. Subsequently, the two groups of detected units are driven away from each other through the adjustment component 5, thereby facilitating the disassembly of the pipe column bracket after the detection. The detection component will not be touched during the disassembly process, thereby avoiding damage to the detection component.

[0023] The outer peripheral walls at both ends of the bidirectional screw 501 are slidably connected with driving parts 503, the top of the driving part 503 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 4, and the driving gear 502 is rotatably connected to the outer walls on both sides of the detection platform 1, and the outer wall of the driving gear 502 is fixedly connected to the limit block 505, and the outer wall of the limit block 505 is fixedly connected to the driving handle 504. By rotating the driving handle 504, the driving handle 504 drives the bidirectional screw 501 to rotate, and then the driving parts 503 on both sides respectively drive the mounting plates 4 on both sides away from each other, so that the detection units on both sides can be moved away from each other, leaving a large space between the two groups of detection units, which is convenient for fixed installation of the pipe column bracket. During the installation process, it is prevented that the pipe column bracket touches the detection component and causes damage to the detection component.

[0024] The driving assembly includes a fixed frame 603 fixedly installed at the bottom of the detection platform 1, the internal thread connection of the fixed frame 603 is connected with an adjusting screw 604, the internal sliding connection of the fixed frame 603 is connected with a connecting plate 602, the top end of the adjusting screw 604 is rotatably connected to the bottom end of the connecting plate 602, and then the detection units on both sides are driven to approach each other through the adjusting assembly 5, so that the detection heads on the detection units are respectively close to the corresponding positions of the pipe column bracket to be detected, and then the adjusting screw 604 is threadedly connected to the inside of the fixed frame 603 by rotating the rotating member 605, and the top end of the adjusting screw 604 is rotated to the bottom end of the connecting plate 602 to push the connecting plate 602 to move up, thereby driving the locking tooth blocks 601 on both sides to move up and mesh with the driving gear 502 at the bidirectional screw 501, so as to avoid the rotation of the bidirectional screw 501 and the displacement of the detection units on both sides, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection of the detection assembly and the pipe column bracket.

[0025] Locking gear blocks 601 are fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the connecting plate 602 , and a rotating member 605 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting screw rod 604 .
