[0030] The following describes the implementation of the present invention through specific embodiments. People familiar with this technology can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification.

[0031] See also Figures 1 to 5. It should be noted that the structures, proportions, sizes, etc. illustrated in the drawings of this specification are only used to match the contents disclosed in the specification for people familiar with this technology to understand and read, and are not used to limit the limiting conditions for the implementation of this utility model. Therefore, they have no substantive technical significance. Any modification of the structure, change in the proportional relationship or adjustment of the size should still fall within the scope of the technical content disclosed by this utility model without affecting the efficacy and purpose that can be achieved by this utility model. At the same time, the terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and "one" quoted in this specification are only for the convenience of description, and are not used to limit the scope of the implementation of this utility model. Changes or adjustments in their relative relationships should also be regarded as the scope of the implementation of this utility model without substantially changing the technical content.

[0032] The following embodiments are for illustration only and can be combined with each other, and are not limited to the contents presented in the following single embodiments.

[0033] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 4 The utility model provides an assembly auxiliary tool for an automobile instrument panel assembly, which, like common auxiliary tools, includes a clamping module, which clamps the supporting pipe beam of the automobile instrument panel assembly, and the clamping module includes a circumferential adjustment component 1 and an axial adjustment component 2; the circumferential adjustment component 1 includes a first driving member and a first top shaft 12, the first driving member drives the first top shaft 12 to rotate, and the first top shaft 12 is connected to one end of the supporting pipe beam; the axial adjustment component 2 includes a second driving member and a second top shaft 22, the second driving member drives the second top shaft 22 to translate, and the second top shaft 22 is connected to the other end of the supporting pipe beam. When installing numerous components on the instrument panel assembly, this assembly aid first adjusts the distance between the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22 by driving the second top shaft 22 to translate through the design of the second driving member, so that the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22 can clamp the supporting pipe beams of different models of automobile instrument panel assemblies; then, the first driving member drives the first top shaft 12 to rotate to adjust the circumferential position of the automobile instrument panel assembly and keep the automobile instrument panel assembly stable, so that the operator can install different components on the assembly; this solves the problem that the workbench 3 and the installation fixture of the prior art can neither meet the requirements of stable assembly of the instrument panel assembly in multiple positions outside the vehicle, nor are they suitable for the assembly of instrument panel assemblies of various models of vehicles.

[0034] In another embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3The circumferential adjustment assembly 1 also includes a reducer 13, which is provided with an input shaft and an output shaft; the first driving member drives the input shaft to rotate, and the input shaft and the output shaft are connected through a worm gear component inside the reducer 13, and the output shaft drives the first top shaft 12 to rotate. In addition to increasing the torque of the circumferential adjustment assembly 1, the design of the reducer 13 can also change the input direction of the first driving member, thereby enhancing the applicability of the entire auxiliary device.

[0035] In another embodiment, the first driving member can be selected from the following Figure 2 The shaking handle 111 shown can also be equipped with an electric motor. When the shaking handle 111 is selected, the meshing structure of the worm gear components inside the reducer 13 can prevent the shaking handle 111 from rotating in the absence of external force, that is, the first top shaft 12 will not rotate, thereby keeping the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22 firmly clamped to the supporting pipe beam of the automobile instrument panel assembly.

[0036] In another embodiment, see Figure 3 The circumferential adjustment assembly 1 also includes a stabilizing component; the stabilizing component includes a stabilizing base 140, a first stabilizing plate 141, a second stabilizing plate 142, a third driving member and a stabilizing pin; the specific installation and connection method is that the stabilizing base 140 is fixedly mounted on the output shaft, the first stabilizing plate 141 is connected to the stabilizing base 140, and the second stabilizing plate 142 is fixedly mounted on the first top shaft 12; the third driving member drives the first stabilizing plate 141 to move; the first stabilizing plate 141 moves to a position corresponding to the second stabilizing plate 142, and the stabilizing pin passes through the first stabilizing plate 141, the second stabilizing plate 142 and the automobile instrument panel assembly in turn, so that the supporting beam and peripheral components of the automobile instrument panel assembly are fixedly connected to the first top shaft 12 at the same time, thereby enhancing the stability of the automobile instrument panel assembly when the first driving member drives the first top shaft 12 to rotate.

[0037] In another embodiment, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The first stabilizing plate 141 can adopt a "U"-shaped structure, and the second stabilizing plate 142 can adopt a single-beam structure, that is, the second stabilizing plate 142 is a support plate, and the stabilizing pin is shown passing through the "U"-shaped groove of the first stabilizing plate 141, and then resting on the second stabilizing plate 142, and finally passing through the peripheral parts of the instrument panel assembly. The first stabilizing plate 141 adopts a "U"-shaped structure and the second stabilizing plate 142 adopts a single-beam structure, which not only realizes the function of stabilizing the components, but also facilitates the assembly operation of the operator.

[0038] In another embodiment, see Figure 3The third driving member includes a third slide rail 144, a third slider 145 and a third locking device 146; the third slide rail 144 is fixedly mounted on the stable base 140, and the first stable plate 141 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 144 through the third slider 145, and the third locking device 146 locks the first stable plate 141. The locking device can be shown in the figure, extending a locking plate from the first stable plate 141, and a locking pin passes through the locking plate and the bottom of the third slide rail 144 and locks them, thereby locking the movement of the third slider 145, that is, locking the movement of the first stable plate 141, and can fully maintain stability after the automobile dashboard assembly is clamped between the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22.

[0039] In another embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The axial adjustment assembly 2 also includes a fixed seat 23 and a translation seat 24, the fixed seat 23 is fixedly installed, and the second driving member drives the translation seat 24 to move; the second top shaft 22 passes through the fixed seat 23 and the translation seat 24 at the same time, the second top shaft 22 rotates, and the second top shaft 22 moves with the movement of the translation seat 24. While realizing the application of the auxiliary tool to the assembly requirements of various models of automobile instrument panel assemblies, this embodiment can also ensure that when the assembly is clamped by the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22, the operator can still use the first driving member to drive the first top shaft 12 to rotate in a timely manner, thereby driving the second top shaft 22 to clamp the automobile instrument panel assembly to rotate together, so as to adjust to a position that is convenient for the operator to operate.

[0040] In another embodiment, see Figure 5 The second driving member includes a second slide rail 211 and a second slider 212. The translation seat 24 is slidably installed on the second slide rail 211 through the second slider 212. Because the automobile dashboard assembly itself is heavy, a slide rail and slider structure is used to drive the second top shaft 22 to translate, thereby driving the automobile dashboard assembly; compared with the rolling method or the direct pushing method, the technical solution of this embodiment is more reliable when working.

[0041] In another embodiment, see Figure 5 The second driving member also includes a translation handle 213, which drives the translation seat 24 to move. Compared with the power mode of using an electric motor, the translation handle 213 allows the operator to move the assembly aid to more places for use without having to consider the power supply. Of course, if the location where the assembly work is to be performed is relatively fixed, the second driving member uses an electric method, which can further reduce the labor intensity of the operator.

[0042] In another embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5The axial adjustment assembly 2 also includes an axial positioning component, which includes a positioning rack 251 and a positioning gear block 252; the positioning rack 251 is fixedly installed, and the positioning gear block 252 is fixedly installed on the translation handle 213; when no external force is applied to the translation handle 213, the positioning gear block 252 and the positioning rack 251 are engaged; when the translation handle 213 is pried open by an external force, the positioning gear block 252 and the positioning rack 251 are disengaged; this allows the operator to adjust the distance between the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22 in a timely manner according to the specific model of the automobile instrument panel assembly.

[0043] In another embodiment, see Figure 4 and Figure 5 The translation handle 213 is connected to the translation seat 24 through a knob component; the knob component includes a knob seat 260, a knob shaft 261 and a torsion spring 262; the knob seat 260 and the translation seat 24 are fixedly connected, the knob shaft 261 is rotatably mounted on the knob seat 260, and the torsion spring 262 is fixedly sleeved on the knob shaft 261. The translation handle 213 and the knob shaft 261 are fixedly connected, and the torsion spring 262 is used to make the translation handle 213 automatically return to its position. Through a relatively simple structure, it is ensured that after the operator pushes the translation handle 213 to move the automobile dashboard assembly, the position of the second top shaft 22 can be fixed in time, that is, it is ensured that the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22 can firmly clamp the automobile dashboard assembly in time.

[0044] In another embodiment, see Figure 1 The assembly aid also includes a moving module, which includes a workbench 3, a first support part 4, a second support part 5 and a moving component 6; the circumferential adjustment component 1 is installed on the workbench 3 through the first support part 4, and the axial adjustment component 2 is installed on the workbench 3 through the second support part 5. The moving component 6 drives the workbench 3 to move to a position suitable for the operator's work. The moving component 6 can be a universal wheel. In order to maintain stability, there must be at least three sets of universal wheels; the moving component can also be a roller-type structure, which will not be repeated here.

[0045] In other embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, a parts box 7 is provided on the workbench 3, which facilitates the operator to store tools and parts used in the assembly process, thereby improving the convenience of the assembly aid.

[0046] To sum up, the utility model firstly drives the second top shaft 22 to translate through the second driving member, and adjusts the distance between the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22 when installing many components on the instrument panel assembly, so that the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22 can clamp the supporting pipe beams of different models of automobile instrument panel assemblies; then drives the first top shaft 12 to rotate through the first driving member to adjust the circumferential position of the automobile instrument panel assembly and keep the automobile instrument panel assembly stable, so that the operator can install different components on the assembly; solves the problem that the workbench 3 and the installation fixture of the prior art can neither meet the requirements of stable assembly of the instrument panel assembly in multiple positions outside the vehicle, nor are they suitable for the assembly of instrument panel assemblies of various models of vehicles. The axial adjustment assembly 2 also includes a fixed seat 23 and a translation seat 24. The fixed seat 23 is fixedly installed, and the second driving member drives the translation seat 24 to move. The second top shaft 22 also passes through the fixed seat 23 and the translation seat 24, and the second top shaft 22 rotates. The second top shaft 22 moves with the movement of the translation seat 24. While realizing the application of the auxiliary device to the assembly requirements of various models of automobile instrument panel assemblies, it can also ensure that when the assembly is clamped by the first top shaft 12 and the second top shaft 22, the operator can still use the first driving member to drive the first top shaft 12 to rotate, thereby driving the second top shaft 22 to rotate together with the automobile instrument panel assembly to adjust to a position that is convenient for the operator to operate. Therefore, the utility model effectively overcomes the shortcomings of the existing technology and has high industrial utilization value.

Anyone skilled in the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
