Detailed Implementation
[0016] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described below are merely illustrative of this utility model. Key terms that need attention in these descriptions, including "four-corner fixed positioning," "one corner," "dimming," "indicator," "angle steel shape," "T-shaped steel shape," and "fixture," are only for the purpose of facilitating and simplifying the description of this utility model, and therefore should not be construed as limiting this utility model. Example
[0017] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automotive dashboard production fixture for quick tire changing according to this utility model includes a frame 1, a flipping and positioning mechanism 2, and a tire fixing mechanism 3. The flipping and positioning mechanism 2 consists of a flipping mechanism and a positioning mechanism. The flipping mechanism includes a connecting rod 2a, a bearing 2c, and a connecting shaft 2d. Bearings 2c are fixed on both sides of the frame 1, and the connecting shaft 2d is mounted on the bearings 2c on both sides of the frame 1. The connecting rod 2a is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 2d on both sides of the frame 1. The flipping mechanism can rotate 360° on its bearings 2c. The positioning mechanism includes a gear 2b, a rack 2j, an indicator 2k, and a telescopic device. The gear 2b has 24 teeth and is fixed on a connecting shaft 2d on one side of the frame 1. The telescopic device includes a support post 1a, a handle 2e, a connecting shaft 2f, a retaining ring 2g, a spring 2h, and a support 2i. The support post 1a is mounted on the frame 1. The support 2i has corresponding shaft holes at its upper and lower ends and is fixed below the gear 2b on the frame 1. The spring 2h and the retaining ring 2g are fitted onto the connecting shaft 2f. The three components are connected by a connecting shaft 2d. Shaft 2f is mounted on support 2i through the shaft hole of support 2i. The retaining ring 2g is fastened to shaft 2f. Spring 2h abuts between the retaining ring 2g and support 2i. Shaft 2f extends out of the shaft holes at the upper and lower ends of support 2i. One end of handle 2e is hinged to the lower end of shaft 2f, and the middle part is hinged to the support post 1a of frame 1. Rack 2j is fixed to the upper end of shaft 2f and meshes with gear 2b, locking gear 2b and preventing the tilting mechanism from tilting and thus positioning it. When the other end of handle 2e is pulled, the rack 2j is disengaged from gear 2b via shaft 2f, allowing the tilting mechanism to rotate 360° on its bearing 2c. The inner end face of the gear 2b is provided with a scale 2l to form a scale disk. The indicator 2k corresponds to the scale 2l of the gear 2b and is fixed on the frame 1 to indicate the angle of the flipping mechanism, so as to make it easier to accurately grasp the flipping state of the flipping mechanism.
[0018] The fixture fixing mechanism 3 includes a connecting plate 3d, a hanging plate 3e, a support plate 3f, a self-locking plunger 3g, a clamp 3a, a fixture 3b, a pad 3c, a clamp 3h, a fixture 3i, and a pad 3j. The hanging plate 3e is in the shape of an angle steel (containing two mutually perpendicular sides), and one side is fixed to the inner end of the connecting shaft 2d on one side of the frame 1. The connecting plate 3d is in the shape of an angle steel (containing two mutually perpendicular sides), and one side is fixed to the other side of the hanging plate 3e. The support plate 3f is in the shape of a T-shaped steel (containing two mutually perpendicular sides), and one side of it is supported by the connecting plate 3d, with concave and convex positioning structures corresponding to one side of the connecting plate 3d. Its other side is fixed to the other side of the connecting plate 3d via the self-locking plunger 3g. The self-locking plunger 3g of this utility model is a self-locking rotary plunger (model PXYKN-M16). This utility model uses clamps, pads, and jigs to fix and position the instrument panel frame at four corners. In this embodiment, the clamps are all commercially available quick clamps (model GH-101DSS). On one side of the frame 1, clamp 3a is fixed to one side of the support plate 3f by pad 3c. Pad 3c can adjust the installation height of clamp 3a. The jig 3b is a contour jig for the instrument panel frame and is fixed inside the pad 3c on one side of the support plate 3f, forming one corner of the instrument panel frame for fixing and positioning. Clamp 3h is fixed to the other side of the support plate 3f by pad 3j. The jig 3i is inside the pad 3j on one side of the support plate 3f, forming the other corner of the instrument panel frame for fixing and positioning. Corresponding to (symmetrically) one side of the frame 1, on the other side of the frame 1, corresponding to clamp 3a, jig 3b, pad 3c, clamp 3h, jig 3i and pad 3j, by installing the corresponding clamps, pads and jigs, the four corners of the instrument panel frame are fixedly positioned at the other two corners.
[0019] In production, this utility model's quick-change instrument panel manufacturing fixture flips the flipping mechanism to 0° as indicated by indicator 2k on the dial, and positions it via a positioning mechanism, ensuring one side of the support plate 3f is horizontally flat. The instrument panel frame is placed on the fixture fixed at the four corners and secured with clamps for further processing. In this embodiment, when the flipping mechanism flips 45° in a certain direction, the connecting rod 2a is in a horizontally flat state, meaning the connecting rod 2a and the support plate 3f form a 45° angle. This angle facilitates process operations during production. When indicator 2k indicates 180° on the dial, the fixture rotates the instrument panel frame vertically. The instrument panel frame can be flipped at various angles via the flipping mechanism to facilitate the installation of various components. When other types of instrument panel frames are needed during production, the self-locking plunger 3g can be released, allowing for a quick overall replacement of the support plate 3f, along with the clamps, pads, and fixtures fixed to it. During production, components such as the support plate 3f, clamps, pads, and jigs are treated as a whole assembly and maintained and managed accordingly. Example
[0020] This embodiment is basically similar to Embodiment 1, except that the positioning mechanism's telescopic device includes a cylinder. The cylinder is fixed below the gear 2b on the frame 1, and a rack 2j is fixedly installed at its piston end. The cylinder piston is extended or retracted by a control button, causing the rack 2j to engage or disengage with the gear 2b, thus locking or releasing the flipping mechanism. The cylinder can also be replaced with a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. Furthermore, the clamps in this embodiment use commercially available quick clamps of model SD / 201B or model MP3604. The gear 2b has 36 teeth. The angle between the connecting rod 2a and the support plate 3f is 30°.
[0021] The above description is only a general embodiment of this utility model. For those skilled in the art, there are various other embodiments with modifications and variations, which will not be elaborated here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model are included within the protection scope claimed by this utility model.
