Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of full inspection technology after the processing of automotive mounting bracket assemblies, and in particular to a full inspection platform for automotive mounting bracket assemblies after processing. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive mounting bracket assemblies are an important component inside a car. They provide a framework for mounting and supporting the dashboard assembly and other system parts (such as the steering column, air conditioning, entertainment system, instrument cluster, and front passenger side airbag). Directly connected to the car body, they are the support components under the front instrument panel and are widely used in various types of passenger vehicles, including sedans, SUVs, and MPVs. All of these vehicles require mounting bracket assemblies to support and mount the dashboard and other critical system parts.
[0003] The main structure of the mounting bracket assembly is shown in the instruction manual. Figure 1 As shown, the system includes the main beam (main beam) and several accessories designed on it. The main beam constitutes the main body of the crossbeam, providing the main support and strength, while the accessories include, for example, the instrument panel connection bracket: used to connect the instrument panel assembly to ensure the stability and reliability of the instrument panel; the column mounting bracket: used to install key components such as the steering column; the body connection bracket: directly connected to the body to ensure a firm connection between the mounting bracket assembly and the body; and the cockpit integrated subsystem mounting bracket: used to install other subsystem parts in the cockpit, etc.
[0004] Currently, in the production and processing of mounting bracket assemblies, several accessories are typically fixed to the main beam at their designed positions using methods such as welding. After the welding and other processing (such as drilling) of multiple accessories are completed, the finished mounting bracket assembly needs to be inspected, including the accuracy of each accessory's position, the passability of the holes, and the cleanliness of the weld slag. Because multiple accessories are welded to different designed positions on the main beam in both the axial and circumferential directions, the position of the crossbeam needs to be continuously adjusted during inspection to ensure each accessory is in a condition conducive to inspection. Currently, a full inspection platform has been designed to facilitate the flipping of the crossbeam, with the structure as follows: Figure 1-2 As shown, symmetrical arc support rods are arranged on both sides of the platform surface. During the inspection operation, the main beam of the mounting bracket assembly is placed on the arc support rods on both sides. By driving the accessories, the main beam (and the entire mounting bracket assembly) can be rotated on the arc support rods, which makes it easy to expose the accessories in different positions to the positions that are convenient for inspection.
[0005] Currently, when using a full inspection platform, if welding slag is present at the welded joints of accessories and needs to be cleaned, the operator must maintain the stability of the crossbeam while simultaneously cleaning the slag, making the cleaning operation quite difficult (i.e., the operator needs to hold the cleaning tool with one hand). Similarly, when performing perforation tests, one-handed operation is still required, also presenting challenges, as are other inspection methods. Furthermore, since the mounting bracket assembly is entirely made of metal, frequent flipping is required during full inspection, placing a physical burden on the operators in the assembly line work environment and reducing the efficiency of the full inspection operation. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, this application aims to provide a full inspection platform for the processed automotive mounting bracket assembly. This platform can lock the crossbeam when it is rotated to an angle for inspection of a certain accessory, thereby solving the problem that currently, operators need to support the crossbeam at the current rotation angle, making it difficult to operate the grinding equipment for defect repair and improving the efficiency of full inspection operations.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows: a full inspection platform for the processed automotive mounting bracket assembly, the mounting bracket assembly including a main beam, on which several accessories with different structural shapes are designed at different positions, the full inspection platform including a platform surface, on which arc support rods are symmetrically arranged on both sides to support and rotate the main beam, characterized in that: a positioning component is provided on the arc support rod to position the main beam when it is rotated to any angle, and an auxiliary component is also provided on the platform surface to drive the main beam to rotate.
[0008] Preferably, the positioning component includes an arc-shaped pressure bar with one end hinged to one end of the arc-shaped support rod and abutting against the surface of the main beam, and the other end of the arc-shaped pressure bar is lockably connected to the other end of the arc-shaped support rod.
[0009] Preferably, a locking rod is horizontally hinged on the side of the arc-shaped pressure rod away from its hinge point, and a notch for embedding the locking rod is provided on the side waist of the arc-shaped support rod.
[0010] Preferably, the auxiliary component includes an auxiliary rod disposed on a platform surface offset from the main beam between adjacent arc support rods, and a retractable rope that can be sleeved on any of the accessories is connected to the auxiliary rod.
[0011] The beneficial effects of this application are: by setting a positioning component, the crossbeam can be locked when rotated to a certain angle for inspection of an accessory, thereby solving the problem that the operator needs to support the crossbeam at the current rotation angle, making it difficult to operate the grinding equipment for defect grinding. After the crossbeam is rotated and fixed by the positioning component, it is easier to operate the grinding equipment for defect grinding, thereby solving the difficulty of defect grinding during the full inspection process.
[0012] Furthermore, this auxiliary component can drive the crossbeam to rotate again, thereby solving the problem of excessive physical burden caused by manually flipping the crossbeam multiple times, and thus effectively improving the efficiency of the full inspection operation of the mounting bracket assembly.

[0022] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this application, the technical solutions of this application will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0023] See attached document Figures 1-8The diagram illustrates a full inspection platform for a machined automotive mounting bracket assembly. The mounting bracket assembly includes a main beam with several attachments of different structural shapes designed at different positions. The inspection platform includes a platform surface 1, on which symmetrically arranged arc-shaped support rods 2 support and rotate the main beam. Currently, during the full inspection of the mounting bracket assembly, the main beam is placed on the symmetrical arc-shaped support rods 2. The operator drives the main beam and crossbeam to rotate as a whole using the attachments, ensuring all attachments are in an easily inspectable state for the full inspection.
[0024] To address the operational difficulties currently present, where operators must repair defective parts while rotating the crossbeam, such as... Figure 4 As shown, this application provides a positioning component on the arc support rod 2 to position the main beam when it is rotated to any angle. This positioning component can lock the crossbeam when it is rotated to an angle for inspection of a certain accessory, thereby solving the problem that it is difficult to operate the grinding equipment for defect grinding when the operator needs to support the crossbeam at the current rotation angle. After the crossbeam is rotated and fixed by the positioning component, it is convenient to operate the grinding equipment for defect grinding, thereby solving the difficulty of defect grinding during the full inspection process.
[0025] To address the current issue of excessive physical strain caused by frequent crossbeam rotation, such as... Figure 6 As shown, an auxiliary component for driving the main beam to rotate is also provided on the platform surface 1. After the locking of the crossbeam is released by the positioning component, the crossbeam can be driven to rotate again by the auxiliary component, thereby solving the problem of excessive physical burden caused by manually flipping the crossbeam multiple times, and thus effectively improving the efficiency of the full inspection operation of the mounting bracket assembly.
[0026] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the positioning component includes an arc-shaped pressure rod 3, one end of which is hinged to one end of the arc-shaped support rod 2 and abuts against the surface of the main beam. The other end of the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 is lockably connected to the other end of the arc-shaped support rod 2. During the full inspection operation, after the crossbeam is rotated to any angle, the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 is driven to press against the main beam, and the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 is connected to one end of the arc-shaped support rod 2. Thus, through the pressing force of the arc-shaped pressure rod 3, the crossbeam is in a locked state at the current rotation angle. In this positioning state, it is convenient to inspect the accessories on the crossbeam, and to repair any unqualified parts. After the accessory inspection is completed in the current crossbeam rotation state, the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 is released, and the crossbeam is rotated to the next inspection angle. At the same time, the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 is used again to press and tighten the crossbeam, and the inspection operation of the exposed accessories is carried out.
[0027] To facilitate the quick connection and locking of the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 and the arc-shaped support rod 2 during the above operations, such as... Figure 5As shown, a locking rod 31 is horizontally hinged on the side of the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 away from its hinge point, and a notch (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the arc-shaped support rod 2 to embed the locking rod 31. After the crossbeam is rotated to the inspection angle, the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 is closed, pressing it against the main beam. Then, the locking rod 31 is rotated horizontally to embed it into the notch on the side of the arc-shaped support rod 2. This allows for quick connection between the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 and the arc-shaped support rod 2, as well as locking the crossbeam in its rotational state, improving operational efficiency. To improve the anti-slip properties of the pressure between the arc-shaped pressure rod 3 and the main beam, such as... Figure 4 As shown, an arc-shaped rubber pad 7 is also provided on the inner side of the arc-shaped pressure bar 3. After the arc-shaped rubber pad is pressed against the main beam, the contact friction between the main beam and the main beam can be effectively improved, thereby avoiding circumferential sliding between the main beam and the arc-shaped pressure bar 3.
[0028] To reduce the increased physical strain caused by repeatedly rotating the crossbeam, such as Figure 6-8 As shown, the auxiliary components include auxiliary rods 4 disposed on a platform surface 1 offset from the main beam between adjacent arc support rods 2. A retractable rope 5, preferably an elastic rope, is connected to the auxiliary rod 4 and can be fitted onto any of the attachments. After the main beam is placed on the arc support rods 2, the bottom end of the retractable rope is fitted onto any of the attachments, such as... Figure 6 As shown, after rotating the crossbeam to any angle and locking it with the arc-shaped pressure bar 3 and checking it, the crossbeam can be rotated again after the arc-shaped pressure bar 3 is opened. The operator can be assisted in rotating the crossbeam by the contraction of the retractable rope 5. Figure 7 As shown, this reduces the physical burden on operators in rotating the beam, effectively saving operators' physical workload and improving work efficiency when frequently performing full inspections and flipping operations of the beam.
[0029] The principle of this application is as follows: During the full inspection of the mounting bracket assembly, the main beam of the crossbeam is placed on the symmetrically arranged arc support rods 2 on the platform surface 1, and the bottom end of the retraction rope is sleeved on any accessory. Then, the crossbeam is rotated to any (inspection) angle, the arc pressure rod 3 is closed and pressed against the surface of the main beam, and the locking rod 31 is rotated horizontally into the recess on the side of the arc support rod 2. This allows for a quick connection between the arc pressure rod 3 and the arc support rod 2 and locks the crossbeam in its rotational state. In this state, the inspection of exposed accessories and the grinding of defects are performed. After the inspection is completed in the current state, the arc pressure rod 3 is opened. During the rotation of the crossbeam, the retraction rope 5 is used to assist the operator in rotating the crossbeam, thereby reducing the physical effort required for the operator to rotate the crossbeam and improving work efficiency. Through the above operation method, the full inspection of the mounting bracket assembly and the grinding of defects can be completed quickly and effortlessly.
[0030] The foregoing has shown and described the basic principles, main features, and advantages of this application. Various changes and modifications may be made to this application without departing from its spirit and scope, and all such changes and modifications fall within the scope of the claims.
