[0019] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a shaping tool for a side end cover of an automobile instrument panel comprises a base 2 for placing a side end cover body 1 of the instrument panel, lower dies 3 are installed on both sides of the base 2, and the lower dies 3 cooperate with the lower surface of the edge of the side end cover body 1 of the instrument panel, a mounting block 4 is provided in the middle of the base 2, a lifting assembly is provided on the mounting block 4, an upper die 5 is installed on the lifting assembly, and the upper die 5 cooperates with the upper surface of the edge of the side end cover body 1 of the instrument panel.
[0021] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a cylinder 6 and an "H"-shaped lifting frame 7, the cylinder 6 is installed on the mounting block 4, the lifting frame 7 is installed on the output end of the cylinder 6, and the upper die 5 is installed on both sides of the lifting frame 7.
[0022] In this embodiment, a guide rod 8 is provided on the base 2 . There is at least one guide rod 8 , and the guide rod 8 is vertically mounted on the base 2 .
[0023] In this embodiment, a connecting plate 9 is further installed on the lifting frame 7, and the connecting plate 9 is slidably connected to the guide rod 8, so that the lifting frame 7 can drive the upper die 5 to perform a precise and stable lifting action in the vertical direction, thereby preventing the lifting frame 7 from deflecting at the output end of the cylinder 6 and causing the upper die 5 to damage the surface of the instrument panel side end cover body 1.
[0024] In this embodiment, bottom grooves 10 and top grooves 11 are provided on both sides of the base 2, and the instrument panel side end cover body 1 is placed on the base 2 through the bottom grooves 10 and top grooves 11, and multiple instrument panel side end cover bodies 1 can be shaped simultaneously.
[0025] In this embodiment, the mounting block 4 is detachably mounted on the base 2 so as to precisely adjust the lifting height of the lifting frame 7 .
[0026] In this embodiment, the shaping and clamping areas of the lower pressing die 3 and the upper pressing die 5 for the instrument panel side end cover body 1 correspond to each other in the vertical direction.
[0027] Working process and principle: During use, the cylinder 6 is first started so that its output end drives the lifting frame 7 to lift upward, driving the upper pressing dies 5 on both sides to rise synchronously. Then, the instrument panel side end cover body 1 to be shaped is placed on the base 2. The bottom of the instrument panel side end cover body 1 corresponds to the bottom groove 10, and the top of the instrument panel side end cover body 1 corresponds to the top groove 11. At this time, the edges on both sides of the instrument panel side end cover body 1 that are prone to deformation will abut against the lower pressing die 3.
[0028] Then the cylinder 6 is started to reset its output end to drive the lifting frame 7 downward. The upper pressing dies 5 on both sides of the lifting frame 7 move downward vertically through the cooperation of the guide rods 8 and the connecting plates 9. When the upper pressing dies 5 move downward to the lowest point, the lower pressing dies 3 and the upper pressing dies 5 automatically press and shape the edge of the instrument panel side end cover body 1 in the middle.
[0029] After the shaping operation is completed, the cylinder 6 is started again to separate the upper die 5 from the edge surface of the instrument panel side end cover body 1, and the shaped instrument panel side end cover body 1 can be taken out.
[0030] Based on the above, the utility model sets a lower die 3 on both sides of the base 2, and cooperates with the upper die 5 installed on the lifting assembly to realize the automatic lifting action of the lifting frame 7 under the drive of the output end of the cylinder 6. When the upper die 5 descends to the lowest point, the lower die 3 and the upper die 5 jointly automatically press and shape the edge of the middle instrument panel side end cover body 1, ensuring the consistency of the product after the instrument panel side end cover body 1 is shaped, thereby avoiding affecting the tightness and sealing of the subsequent assembly.
[0031] It is understood from common technical knowledge that the present invention may be implemented through other embodiments that do not depart from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed above are, in all respects, merely illustrative and not exclusive. All modifications within the scope of the present invention or equivalent to the scope of the present invention are intended to be encompassed by the present invention.
