[0020] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the automobile interior panel alignment tooling provided in the embodiment of the present application has a structure of the automobile interior panel alignment tooling, including a base 1, a supporting tooling 2 arranged on the base 1, and a clamping assembly 3 arranged on the base 1 for clamping the interior panel 100. It also includes a plurality of clamping mechanisms 4 arranged on the base 1, and the clamping mechanisms 4 include a column 41 arranged on the base 1, a rotating column 42 with one end hinged to the upper end surface of the column 41, a gas spring 43 with two ends respectively hinged to the column 41 and the rotating column 42, a quick pressing assembly 44 fixedly arranged at the other end of the rotating column 42, an arc column 45 fixedly arranged on the column 41, and a clamping piece 46 fixedly arranged on the rotating column 42, wherein the upper end of the arc column 45 is higher than the rotating column 42 in a horizontal state, and the arc A undercut A450 is provided at the upper end of the column 45, and the clamping member 46 includes a rotating shaft A461, a fixed seat 462 fixedly arranged on the rotating column 42, a rotating member A463 hinged to the fixed column through the rotating shaft A461, and an elastic member A464 connecting the rotating member A463 and the fixed seat 462, and an undercut B4630 locked with the undercut A450 is provided at the upper end of the rotating member A463, the elastic member A464 is located at the lower end of the rotating shaft A461, and the undercut B4630 is located at the upper end of the rotating shaft.

[0022] In actual use, the interior panel 100 is first placed on the supporting fixture 2, and the interior panel 100 is clamped by the clamping assembly 3. After the cut fabric is placed on the outside of the interior panel 100, the fabric corresponding to the wire groove of the interior panel 100 is pressed by the clamping mechanism 4. The pressing action is: move the rotating column 42 to a horizontal state so that the rotating column 42 is out of contact with the arc column 45, and then the fabric is pressed by the quick pressing assembly 44. When the pressing is completed and the material needs to be loaded and unloaded, the rotating column 42 is flipped upward from the horizontal state so that the undercut A450 and the undercut B4630 are locked. When unlocking is required, by pressing and rotating A, the elastic part A464 is compressed, and the rotating part A463 is flipped around the rotation axis A461 to the side away from the undercut A450.

[0023] In the above design, it is easy to achieve quick clamping 443 and fixing of the cloth. The rotating column 42 is flipped upward and fixed to the arc column 45 to ensure that there is enough space between the rotating column 42 and the base 1 for loading and unloading, which effectively improves the convenience and efficiency of loading and unloading.

[0024] Specifically: Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the quick pressing assembly 44 includes a pressing plate 441 , a guide column 442 connecting the pressing plate 441 and the rotating column 42 , and a quick clamp 443 connecting the rotating column 42 and the pressing plate 441 .

[0025] In actual use, when clamping is required, the quick clamp 443 is pressed to move the pressing plate 441 and the guide column 442 downward, and clamping is achieved through the lower end of the pressing plate 441 .

[0026] In the above design, the structural design of the quick pressing component 44 facilitates rapid pressing.

[0027] Specifically: Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the clamping assembly 3 includes a No. 1 clamping plate 31, a No. 2 clamping plate 32 and a cylinder clamp 33 arranged on the base 1, and the cylinder clamp 33 includes a cylinder body, a No. 1 claw toe and a No. 2 claw toe arranged on the cylinder body, the No. 1 clamping plate 31 is arranged on the No. 1 claw toe, and the No. 2 clamping plate 32 is arranged on the No. 2 claw toe.

[0028] In actual use, when the interior trim panel 100 needs to be clamped, the cylinder body drives the No. 1 claw toe and the No. 2 claw toe to move toward each other, so that the No. 1 claw toe and the No. 2 claw toe respectively drive the No. 1 clamping plate 31 and the No. 2 clamping plate 32 to move toward each other and then clamp the skeleton of the interior trim panel 100.

[0029] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation of the clamping assembly 3 can facilitate the rapid fixation of the interior trim panel 100 .

[0030] Specifically:Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in Figure 4 , the clamping member 46 further includes a rotating shaft B465, a rotating member B466 hinged to the fixed seat 462 through the rotating shaft B465, and an elastic member B467 connecting the rotating member B466 and the fixed seat 462. An inverted buckle D410 is provided on the side of the upright column 41, and an inverted buckle d4660 that can be locked with the inverted buckle D410 is provided at the lower end of the rotating member B466. The elastic member B467 is located at the upper end of the rotating shaft B465, and the inverted buckle d4660 is located at the lower end of the rotating shaft B465.

[0031] During actual use, when the fabric is being pressed, the rotating column 42 is in a horizontal state. At this time, the inverted buckle D410 and the inverted buckle d4660 are engaged with each other to ensure that the rotating column 42 is in a fixed state. When the rotating column 42 needs to be flipped, by pressing the rotating member B466, the rotating member compresses the elastic member B467 and rotates around the rotating shaft B465, so that the inverted buckle D410 and the inverted buckle d4660 are loosened.

[0032] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation method of the clamping member 46 can effectively fix the rotating column 42 in a horizontal state.

[0033] Specifically: As Figure 5 shown, the rotating member B466 is located at the lower end of the rotating member A463. A limiting member 6 for limiting the rotating member is further provided on the rotating column 42. The limiting member 6 includes a fixing plate 61 fixedly provided on the rotating column 42 and a bolt 62 threadedly connected to the fixing plate 61. The bolt 62 can abut against the lower end of the rotating member A463 and the upper end of the rotating member B466 at the same time.

[0034] During actual use, the rotating member A463 and the rotating member B466 are limited by the bolt 62 and stop rotating when they abut against the bolt 62 during rotation.

[0035] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation method of the limiting member 6 can effectively limit the rotation of the rotating member A463 and the rotating member B466.

[0036] Specifically: As Figure 5As shown, the rotating member A463 and the rotating member B466 have the same structure, the elastic member A464 and the elastic member B467 have the same structure. The rotating member A463 is provided with a vertical waist-shaped groove. The elastic member A464 includes a connecting column 4643 with one end connected to the fixed seat 462, a spring 4641 sleeved on the connecting column 4643, and a limiting head 4642 fixedly arranged at the other end of the connecting column 4643. The connecting column 4643 is slidably connected with the vertical waist-shaped groove, the limiting head 4642 abuts against one side of the rotating member A463, and both ends of the spring 4641 respectively abut against the other side of the rotating member and the fixed seat 462.

[0037] During actual use, when the rotating member A463 rotates, the rotating member compresses the spring 4641, and at the same time, the connecting column 4643 slides relative to the vertical waist-shaped groove.

[0038] In the above design, the structural design and specific implementation manner of the rotating member A463 and the elastic member A464 can effectively realize the rotational limit of the rotating member A463.

[0039] For further detailed description, it should be understood that the above are only specific embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
