[0020] In order to better understand the above technical solution, the above technical solution will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0021] The embodiment of the present application discloses a vehicle armrest box cover detection machine, referring to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , comprising an installation box 1, within which is horizontally disposed an installation platform 2 for mounting a cover plate 201 and an installation frame 202, with the cover plate 201 being rotatably mounted on the installation frame 202. Mounting platform 2 is mounted with a clamping mechanism 3 for clamping the installation frame 202, and mounting plates 4 are mounted on the installation platform 2 for horizontal linear sliding on both sides of the cover plate 201. Mounting plate 4 is provided with a first pressure block 41 at a position directly opposite a button 2011 on the side wall of the cover plate 201. Mounting plate 4 is also mounted with a first sensor 42 for detecting the force applied to first pressure block 41. Mounting box 1 is mounted with a display 5 for displaying the force applied to first pressure block 41 detected by the first sensor 42, and mounting platform 2 is mounted with a first driving member 6 for driving the mounting plate 4 to move.

[0022] In an embodiment of the present application, a staff member can install the assembled armrest box cover 20 on the mounting table 2. The armrest box cover 20 includes a mounting frame 202 and a cover plate 201 rotatably set on the mounting frame 202. The mounting frame 202 can be clamped and fixed by the clamping mechanism 3, and then the mounting plate 4 can be driven to move by the first driving member 6, so that the first pressure block 41 can contact and press the button 2011 on the cover plate 201. During the pressing process, the force value of the first pressure block 41 can be detected by the first sensor 42 and displayed by the display 5. Since the first pressure block 41 contacts the button 2011, the force value is the pressure value exerted on the button 2011. By comparing the pressure value exerted on the button 2011 with the pressing force of the button 2011 in a qualified state, qualified armrest box covers 20 can be screened out, which has the effect of improving the user experience.

[0023] Specifically, the clamping mechanism 3 includes two rows of clamping blocks 31, respectively disposed on either side of the mounting frame 202. The two rows of clamping blocks 31 are slidably mounted on the mounting platform 2 in a direction parallel to the movement of the first pressure block 41. The mounting platform 2 is equipped with a plurality of second driving members 32 for driving the clamping blocks 31 to move and abut against the sidewalls of the mounting frame 202. The plurality of second driving members 32 corresponds one-to-one to the plurality of clamping blocks 31. The plurality of second driving members 32 enables the two rows of clamping blocks 31 to jointly clamp and secure the mounting frame 202.

[0024] Specifically, the first driving member 6 includes a first cylinder, the first cylinder is set on the mounting platform 2, and the mounting plate 4 is bolted to the piston rod of the first cylinder; the second driving member 32 includes a second cylinder, the second cylinder is set on the mounting platform 2, and the clamping block 31 is bolted to the piston rod of the second cylinder.

[0025] Furthermore, a time detection mechanism is installed within the installation box 1 to detect when the side wall of the cover 201 is open. This time detection mechanism includes a photoelectric sensor 7, which is located within the installation box 1 and at the maximum opening height of the side of the cover 201. A magnetic switch 61 is mounted on the first cylinder to detect the stroke position of the piston rod. A time relay is installed within the installation box 1 to communicate with the magnetic switch 61 and the photoelectric sensor 7.

[0026] In this embodiment of the present application, a controller is connected to the display 5, which can be a PLC integrated circuit system. The controller is in communication with the photoelectric sensor 7, the magnetic switch 61, and the time relay. When the first air cylinder drives the first pressure block 41 to abut the button 2011 and open the cover 201, the magnetic switch 61 is activated, and the controller controls the time relay to start timing. When the photoelectric sensor 7 detects that the side of the cover 201 has reached the maximum opening height, the controller controls the time relay to stop timing.

[0027] During daily driving, after opening the cover 201, the user needs to apply force to press the cover 201 to close it. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A pressure detection mechanism 8 for detecting the closing force of the cover 201 is installed in the installation box 1. The pressure detection mechanism 8 includes a pressure plate 81 that slides vertically within the installation box 1 and is located above the installation platform 2. A second pressure block 82 is mounted on the pressure plate 81 for abutting the top of the cover 201 to close it. A second sensor 83 is also mounted on the pressure plate 81 for detecting the force applied to the second pressure block 82. The display 5 is also used to display the force applied to the second pressure block 82 detected by the second sensor 83. A third driving member 84 is installed in the installation box 1 for driving the pressure plate 81 to move.

[0028] In this embodiment of the present application, both the first sensor 42 and the second sensor 83 can be pressure sensors. When the cover 201 is opened, the third drive member 84 drives the pressure plate 81 to move vertically, causing the second pressure block 82 to press downward against the cover 201, closing the cover 201. During the closing process, the second sensor 83 detects the pressure applied to the cover 201 and displays it on the display 5. By comparing the pressure applied to the cover 201 with the closing force of the cover 201 in a qualified state, the armrest cover 20 can be further screened, thereby improving the user experience.

[0029] Since the cover plate 201 is rotatably connected to the mounting frame 202, the second pressing block 82 will slide and contact with the top of the cover plate 201 during the process of vertically pressing the cover plate 201, which makes it easy for the second pressing block 82 to scratch the leather on the surface of the cover plate 201. In order to solve this problem, an auxiliary closing mechanism 9 is installed in the mounting box 1 for driving the movable end of the cover plate 201 to rotate and approach the mounting frame 202. The auxiliary closing mechanism 9 includes a mounting frame 91 that is slidingly arranged in the mounting box 1 along a moving direction parallel to the first pressing block 41, and a rubber wheel 92 that is rotatably arranged on the mounting frame 91. The rubber wheel 92 is located above the cover plate 201, and the outer wall of the rubber wheel 92 is in rolling contact with the top of the cover plate 201. A fourth driving member 10 for driving the mounting frame 91 to move is installed in the mounting box 1.

[0030] In this embodiment of the present application, the axis of the rubber wheel 92 is parallel to the axis of the rotating shaft of the cover 201. After the force applied to the button 2011 and the opening time of the cover 201 are detected, the fourth driving member 10 can drive the mounting frame 91 to move, so that the rubber wheel 92 can abut the top of the cover 201, and the movable end of the cover 201 can rotate and approach the mounting frame 202. At this time, there is a gap between the movable end of the cover 201 and the mounting frame 202, and the cover 201 is not completely closed on the mounting frame 202. Subsequently, the third driving member 84 can drive the pressing plate 81 to move vertically, so that the second pressing block 82 can press down and abut the cover 201, and the cover 201 can be completely closed. The rubber wheel 92 is in rolling contact with the top of the cover 201, so that the movable end of the cover 201 rotates and approaches the mounting frame 202, which can prevent the second pressing block 82 from scratching the leather surface of the cover 201.

[0031] In an embodiment of the present application, the third driving member 84 includes a first driving motor, a first screw rod and a first frame. The first frame is vertically arranged in the installation box 1, the first screw rod is rotatably arranged in the first frame, the first screw rod is threadedly connected with a first screw rod nut, the pressure plate 81 is connected to the first screw rod nut, and the first driving motor is arranged at one end of the first frame and is transmission-connected to the first screw rod.

[0032] The fourth driving member 10 includes a second driving motor, a second screw rod and a second frame. The second frame is horizontally arranged in the installation box 1 and is located above the cover 201. The second screw rod is rotatably arranged in the frame. The second screw rod is threadedly connected with a second screw rod nut. The mounting frame 91 is connected to the second screw rod nut. The second driving motor is arranged at one end of the second frame and is transmission-connected to the screw rod.

[0033] The implementation principle of the automobile armrest box cover inspection machine of the embodiment of the present application is as follows: after the staff installs the assembled armrest box cover 20 on the mounting table 2, the clamping mechanism 3 can clamp the fixed mounting frame 202, and then the first driving member 6 can drive the mounting plate 4 to move, so that the first pressure block 41 can contact and press the button 2011 on the cover plate 201. During the pressing process, the force value of the first pressure block 41 can be detected by the first sensor 42 and displayed on the display 5. Since the first pressure block 41 contacts the button 2011, the force value is the pressure value of the button 2011. By comparing the pressure value of the button 2011 with the pressing force of the button 2011 in the qualified state, qualified armrest box covers 20 can be screened out, which has the effect of improving the user experience.
