Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of punching module technology, specifically a punching module for an automotive dashboard frame. Background Technology
[0002] In the current booming automotive manufacturing industry, the car dashboard, as a key hub for in-vehicle information display and interaction, has its manufacturing precision and efficiency directly affecting the overall interior quality and the smoothness of the assembly process.
[0003] In the production of automotive dashboard frames, punching modules are used to punch holes in the dashboard frames. However, existing punching equipment presents several problems. When automakers need to switch between different model dashboard frames, the varying punching specifications necessitate changing the mold each time, taking several hours and causing equipment downtime, significantly impacting production continuity and reducing overall efficiency. Furthermore, the lack of precise positioning and clamping mechanisms during punching allows the frame to easily shift under impact, compromising punching accuracy and resulting in a high scrap rate. Additionally, traditional equipment struggles to flexibly adapt to the complex shapes and multi-arc dashboard frames emerging with new automotive design trends, requiring additional manpower and resources for secondary modifications or customization, leading to high costs.
[0004] Therefore, we propose a punching module for the frame of an automotive dashboard to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a punching module for the frame of an automotive dashboard to solve the problems currently found in the market as described in the background.
[0007] 2. Technical Solution:
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a punching module for an automotive dashboard frame, comprising a base, a hydraulic cylinder mounted on the upper end of the base, an upper top plate connected to the output end of the hydraulic cylinder, a punching assembly mounted in the middle of the upper top plate, and several clamping parts mounted on the upper top plate.
[0009] A linear motion module is installed at the lower part of the base. A work plate is installed at the output end of the linear motion module. Several threaded rods are installed above the work plate. A movable seat is threaded onto the output end of each threaded rod. A steering component is installed inside the movable seat. A base plate is installed at the output end of the steering component. A clamping component is installed on the base plate. The clamping component is used to clamp the car dashboard frame. The steering component is used to drive the clamping component to rotate.
[0010] Furthermore, the length of the linear motion module is greater than the width of the upper top plate.
[0011] The above technical solution makes it easy to place the car dashboard frame on the work plate.
[0012] Furthermore, the clamping component includes a telescopic abutment rod and a spring. The fixed end of the telescopic abutment rod is fixed to the lower part of the upper top plate, and the two ends of the spring are respectively connected to the movable end of the telescopic abutment rod and the lower end face of the upper top plate.
[0013] The above technical solution allows the telescopic abutment to be pressed tightly against the frame by the spring after the top plate moves down.
[0014] Furthermore, the movable seat and the working plate form a sliding fit structure.
[0015] The above technical solution enables the movable seat to slide on the work plate after being subjected to force.
[0016] Furthermore, the steering component includes a worm gear and a worm shaft with bearings installed inside the movable seat. The worm gear and the worm shaft mesh with each other, and the upper end of the worm gear is fixedly connected to the base plate.
[0017] The above technical solution enables the worm to rotate, and the meshing action between the worm and the worm wheel can drive the base plate at the top of the worm wheel to rotate.
[0018] Furthermore, the clamping component includes an electric push rod fixed to the base plate, the output end of the electric push rod is equipped with a movable clamping plate, the base plate is fixed with a guide rod and a fixed clamping plate, the guide rod and the movable clamping plate form a sliding connection, and the movable clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0019] The above technical solution enables the frame to be clamped by the cooperation of the movable clamp and the fixed clamp after the electric push rod is started.
[0020] 3. Beneficial effects:
[0021] Compared with the prior art, the automotive dashboard frame punching module of this utility model, by adjusting the parameters of the threaded rod and the steering frame, can be adapted to frames of different sizes. Simultaneously, the clamping component, through the cooperation of the clamping pressure component, improves the clamping stability of the frame. The specific details are as follows:
[0022] First, based on the shape of the car dashboard frame, rotate the threaded rod. The movable seat with the threaded sleeve on the outside of the threaded rod can drive the clamping parts on the base plate to move back and forth. At the same time, based on the curvature of the car dashboard frame, rotate the worm gear. The meshing action of the worm gear and worm wheel will drive the base plate at the end of the worm wheel to rotate. Then, start the electric push rod to drive the movable clamping plate to move. The movable clamping plate and the fixed clamping plate will clamp the car dashboard frame. With the cooperation of the threaded rod and the steering component, it can be applied to car dashboard frames of different models and sizes, achieving compatibility. There is no need to invest a lot of money to purchase multiple sets of special equipment, which reduces production costs and improves the versatility of the equipment and the market competitiveness of enterprises.
[0023] After the hydraulic cylinder is started, it drives the punching assembly on the upper plate to punch holes. The telescopic stop rod is pressed tightly against the car dashboard frame under the action of the spring. Through the double fixing action of the clamping and pressing parts, the frame is accurately positioned and pressed in both the horizontal and vertical directions, effectively preventing the frame from shifting during the punching process. Combined with the high-precision design of the punching assembly itself, it ensures the accuracy of the punching position, greatly improves the punching accuracy of the product, and provides a reliable guarantee for the accurate installation of subsequent dashboard components.

The output end of the electric push rod 121 is equipped with a movable clamping plate 122. The base plate 11 is fixed with a guide rod 123 and a fixed clamping plate 124. The guide rod 123 and the movable clamping plate 122 form a sliding contact connection, and the movable clamping plate 122 and the fixed clamping plate 124 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence.
[0034] The linear motion module 6 is activated, which moves the work plate 7 forward to place the car dashboard frame on the work plate 7. Then, according to the shape of the car dashboard frame, the threaded rod 8 is rotated. The movable seat 9, which is threaded on the outside of the threaded rod 8, can drive the clamping piece 12 on the base plate 11 to move back and forth. At the same time, according to the curvature of the car dashboard frame, the worm gear 102 is rotated.

[0036] When the hydraulic cylinder 2 is activated, the punching assembly 4 on the upper top plate 3 moves down to punch holes. Under the action of the spring 52, the telescopic stop rod 51 is pressed tightly against the car dashboard frame. Through the double fixing action of the clamping member 12 and the pressing member 5, the frame is accurately positioned and pressed in both the horizontal and vertical directions, effectively preventing the frame from shifting during the punching process. Combined with the high-precision design of the punching assembly 4 itself, the accuracy of the punching position is ensured, which greatly improves the punching accuracy of the product and provides a reliable guarantee for the accurate installation of various parts of the dashboard.
[0037] Working principle: When using this automotive dashboard frame punching module, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the linear motion module 6 is first activated, and the work plate 7 moves forward to place the car dashboard frame on the work plate 7. Then, according to the shape of the car dashboard frame, the parameters of the threaded rod 8 and the steering component 10 are adjusted to move the clamping component 12 to the appropriate position. Then, the electric push rod 121 is activated, which moves the movable clamping plate 122. The car dashboard frame is clamped by the cooperation of the movable clamping plate 122 and the fixed clamping plate 124, which is suitable for car dashboard frames of different models and sizes, achieving compatibility.
