[0023] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-5 , the present utility model provides the following technical solutions: An assembly tooling applied to an automotive instrument panel, including a support mechanism, a plurality of tire molds 3, a plurality of pressing molds 5, and an angle adjustment mechanism. Four tire molds 3 are installed at the four corners on the support mechanism, and two pressing molds 5 are installed in the middle on the support mechanism. The four tire molds 3 and the pressing molds 5 are located in the upper middle of the support mechanism. The four tire molds 3 and the pressing molds 5 are used to place and fix the instrument panel for better assembly. The angle adjustment mechanism is installed on both sides of the support mechanism, and the upper middle of the support mechanism is driven to rotate by the angle adjustment mechanism. The angle adjustment mechanism includes a lock 6, a turntable 7, a gear 8, a locking block 9, and two rotating shafts 10. The two rotating shafts 10 are respectively located in the middle of both sides of the support mechanism. One end of a rotating shaft 10 is fixed to the support mechanism near the edge, and the other end is fixed to the turntable 7. One end of the other rotating shaft 10 is movably connected to the edge of the support mechanism, and the other end is fixed to the support mechanism near the edge. The gear 8 is fixed in the middle of the rotating shaft 10 fixed to the turntable 7. The lock 6 is located at one end of the edge of the support mechanism near the turntable 7. The top of the locking block 9 contacts and fits with the gear 8. There is a pneumatic mechanism connected between the lock 6 and the locking block 9, and the lock 6 drives the locking block 9 to move up and down through the pneumatic mechanism. When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the instrument panel, the button of the lock 6 needs to be pressed, and then the locking block 9 is moved down through the pneumatic mechanism. At this time, the top of the locking block 9 no longer contacts the gear 8. At this time, the turntable 7 is rotated, so that the rotating shaft 10 connected to the turntable 7 rotates. The rotating shaft 10 drives the gear 8 and the middle of the support mechanism to rotate, and further makes the rotating shaft 10 on the other side of the support mechanism rotate synchronously. When the angle is adjusted, the button of the lock 6 is released, the pneumatic mechanism fails, and the locking block 9 moves up. When the top of the locking block 9 contacts and closes with the gear 8, the adjusted angle position is fixed.

[0025] Specifically, the support mechanism includes a support frame 14, two support plates 13, and a plurality of support rods 12. The plurality of support rods 12 are parallel to each other and horizontally located between the tops of the support frame 14. The two support plates 13 are respectively located on both sides of the support rods 12. The tire molds 3 are located on the support plates 13, and two tire molds 3 are installed on each support plate 13.

[0026] Specifically, one end of a rotating shaft 10 is fixed to the support plate 13, the other end is fixed to the turntable 7, and the middle of the rotating shaft 10 is also movably connected to the top of the side of the support frame 14. A through hole 801 is provided in the middle of the gear 8 for the rotating shaft 10 to pass through. The rotating shaft 10 fixed to the turntable 7 is sequentially connected to the support plate 13, the gear 8, the top of the side of the support frame 14, and the turntable 7. One end of another rotating shaft 10 is fixed to the support plate 13, and the other end is movably connected to the top of the side of the support frame 14. This setting enables the support plate 13 and the support rod 12 to rotate through the rotating shafts 10 on both sides, and the support rod 12 plays a supporting role.

[0027] Specifically, a presser 2 is provided on the support plate 13. The presser 2 cooperates with the tire mold 3 to fix the instrument panel well. The number of the pressers 2 and the tire molds 3 is the same and they cooperate with each other.

[0028] Specifically, several die sets 5 are located in the middle of the support rod 12.

[0029] Specifically, several storage boxes 1 are provided on both sides of the support frame 14. A number of grids 101 are provided in the storage boxes 1. The same type of standard parts are placed in each grid 101. The design of the storage boxes 1 is not only simple in structure, but also can distinguish the types of standard parts, and the types and quantities of the required standard parts can be prepared in advance, which is conducive to the workers to take the required standard parts at any time during assembly.

[0030] Specifically, vertical pin columns 4 are provided at the four corners of the support frame 14. The pin columns 4 connect the top and bottom of the support frame 14. Pin holes 401 are provided on the pin columns 4. The setting of the pin holes 401 facilitates the workers to use and store the screw guns accordingly.

[0031] Specifically, rollers 11 are connected to the bottoms of the pin columns 4, which is convenient for the operators to adjust the placement position of the assembly tooling at any time and saves a lot of effort for the workers.

[0032] Specifically, tooth marks 901 adapted to the gear 8 are provided on the top of the locking block 9. After the tooth marks 901 on the top of the locking block 9 come into contact with and close the gear 8, the assembly angle of the instrument panel is fixed. This design enables the assembly angle to be adjusted, thereby improving the qualification rates of the product appearance and performance.

[0033] The movement process of this utility model is as follows: When it is necessary to adjust the angle of the instrument panel, the button of the lock 6 needs to be pressed, and then the locking block 9 is moved downward through the pneumatic mechanism. At this time, the tooth marks 901 on the top of the locking block 9 are no longer in contact with the gear 8. Then, the turntable 7 is rotated, so that the rotating shaft 10 connected to the turntable 7 rotates. The rotating shaft 10 drives the gear 8, the support plate 13, the support rod 12, and the instrument panel on the support plate 13 and the support rod 12 to rotate. Furthermore, the rotating shaft 10 connected to the other support plate 13 also rotates synchronously. When the angle is adjusted, the button of the lock 6 is released, the pneumatic mechanism fails, and the locking block 9 moves upward. When the tooth marks 901 on the top of the locking block 9 contact and close with the gear 8, the adjusted angle position is fixed.

[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present utility model and are not used to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present utility model shall be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
