[0029] In the embodiments of the present utility model, this case provides a jig for an automotive ceiling interior trim panel, which is used to support and detect the curvature of the interior trim panel, and includes a base 100, an outer annular plate 110, and an inner annular plate 120. The outer annular plate 110 is provided on the base 100, and the outer annular plate 110 surrounds the outside of the inner annular plate 120. The height of the inner annular plate 120 is lower than that of the outer annular plate 110. A plurality of detection members 130 are provided at the upper ends of the outer annular plate 110 and the inner annular plate 120; a plurality of jacking members 140 are provided between the inner annular plate 120 and the outer annular plate 110 for supporting the interior trim panel. An embedding member 200 and a plurality of engaging members 300 are provided at the upper end of the outer annular plate 110, and the engaging members 300 surround the periphery of the upper end of the outer annular plate 110. The embedding member 200 includes a support seat 210, a transverse top frame 220, two paired upright columns 230, and a concave cavity 240. The support seat 210 is located on the base 100 and is close to the outer annular plate 110. A transverse top frame 220 and a horizontal groove 250 are provided at the upper end of the support seat 210. Two paired upright columns 230 are provided on the horizontal groove 250, and a transverse top frame 220 is provided between the horizontal groove 250 and the concave cavity 240.

[0030] Specifically, it mainly consists of a base 100, an outer annular plate 110, an inner annular plate 120, a detection member 130, a top extension body 140, an embedding member 200, a clamping member 300, etc. The base 100 serves as the foundation of the entire inspection tool and firmly supports the entire detection structure. The automotive ceiling interior trim panel is placed on the base 100 of the inspection tool to ensure that the space between the interior trim panel and the inner annular plate 120 and the outer annular plate 110 is adapted. According to the curvature of the interior trim panel, the height and position of the top extension body 140 are adjusted to ensure stable support for the interior trim panel. The positions of the lateral top frame 220 and the paired upright columns 230 of the embedding member 200 are adjusted so that the concave cavity 240 corresponds to the mounting hole positions of the interior trim panel. The clamping member 300 is used to fix the interior trim panel on the inspection tool to ensure that it does not move during the detection process. Through the precise mechanical structure and the detection member 130, precise detection of the curvature of the interior trim panel is achieved, reducing human error.

[0031] In another embodiment of the utility model, the clamping member 300 includes a placement seat 310, a lower sandwich layer 320, and an upper sandwich layer 330. The placement seat 310 is located on the base 100 and is close to the outer annular plate 110. The lower sandwich layer 320 is located on the placement seat 310, and the lower sandwich layer 320 is hinged to the upper sandwich layer 330; the upper sandwich layer 330 is connected to a downward fan-shaped retaining plate 340 for limiting the interior trim panel. Specifically, according to the size and shape of the interior trim panel, the position and angle of the upper sandwich layer 330 are adjusted to form a suitable clamping space between it and the lower sandwich layer 320. The interior trim panel is placed on the inspection tool with its edge close to the position of the clamping member 300, and the upper sandwich layer 330 is pushed to make it closely closed with the lower sandwich layer 320. At the same time, the fan-shaped retaining plate 340 is pressed against the edge of the interior trim panel to achieve limiting and fixing. Through the clamping of the upper and lower sandwich layers 320 and the limiting action of the fan-shaped retaining plate 340, the clamping member 300 effectively enhances the stability of the interior trim panel during the detection process and prevents it from shifting or slipping.

[0032] In another embodiment of the utility model, paired connection holes 350 are provided between the upper sandwich layer 330 and the lower sandwich layer 320, and a locking member passes through the two connection holes 350 in sequence to fixedly connect the upper sandwich layer 330 and the lower sandwich layer 320. Specifically, bolts, pins, or other elements with fastening functions are usually used as the locking member. One end of the locking member passes through the connection hole 350 of the upper sandwich layer 330 and the connection hole 350 of the lower sandwich layer 320 in sequence and is fixed by means of threaded connection, clamping, or other methods.

[0033] In another embodiment of the utility model, the base 100 is also provided with a toggle adjustment component 400, which includes a first connecting frame 410 and a second connecting frame 420 placed vertically, and one end of the first connecting frame 410 and the second connecting frame 420 are hinged, and the other end of the second connecting frame 420 is connected to the downward detection member 130. The first connecting frame 410 is also provided with a toggle protection rod 430, and the toggle protection rod 430 includes a protection rod 1 440 and a protection rod 2 450, which are fixedly connected and rotatably connected on the first connecting frame 410. The angle between the protection rod 1 440 and the protection rod 2 450 is 90°. Specifically, both are made of solid metal or alloy material, and one end is hinged together through a hinge shaft, so that the second connecting frame 420 can rotate relative to the first connecting frame 410. The first connecting frame 410 is placed vertically on the base 100 to provide stable support for the entire assembly. It consists of a protective rod 1 440 and a protective rod 2 450, which are firmly connected in the middle by a fixing member (such as a bolt, welding, etc.). The protective rod 1 440 and the protective rod 2 450 are respectively rotatably connected on the first connecting frame 410 through a rotating shaft, and the angle between the two is always maintained at 90°, forming a stable "L"-shaped structure. This design allows the toggle protective rod 430 to remain stable during operation and is not easily deformed or fallen off. The design of the toggle protective rod 430 effectively prevents the hand or other objects from directly contacting the detection member 130 or the hinged part during the adjustment process, reducing the risk of accidental injury.

[0034] In another embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of sensors 500 are disposed on the upper end of the base 100 , and the sensors 500 are located inside the inner annular plate 120 for sensing the interior trim panel.

[0035] In another embodiment of the utility model, a consolidation frame 510 is provided at the lower end of the base 100, and a drawer 540 is provided inside the consolidation frame 510 for storage.

[0036] In another embodiment of the utility model, a plurality of pulleys 520 are further provided at the lower end of the consolidation frame 510 , and the pulleys 520 are evenly distributed around the consolidation frame 510 .

[0037] In another embodiment of the utility model, a push handle 530 is provided on the side end of the consolidation frame 510 for pushing the inspection tool.

[0038] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
