Detailed Implementation

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4 To solve the problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a testing fixture 1 for assembling automobile seats. The testing fixture 1 includes a fixing frame 11, a first positioning component 12 and a second positioning component 13. The first positioning component 12 is symmetrically fixed on both sides of the fixing frame 11 in the length direction to fix the seat frame 2 in the length direction. The second positioning component 13 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the fixing frame 11 in the width direction to fix the seat frame 2 in the width direction.

[0025] The first positioning component 12 includes a first driving member 121 and a snap-fit ​​member 122. The first driving member 121 is fixed on the fixing frame 11 and connected to one side of the snap-fit ​​member 122 to drive the snap-fit ​​member 122 to move in the length direction. The other side of the snap-fit ​​member 122 has a groove that is adapted to the seat frame 2.

[0026] The second positioning component 13 includes a first sliding plate 1301, a second sliding plate 1302, a second driving member 1303, a hinge base 1304, and a hinge rod 1305. The first sliding plate 1301 is slidably connected to the bottom of the fixing frame 11 and can slide along the length direction. The second sliding plate 1302 is slidably connected to the top of the first sliding plate 1301 and can slide along the width direction. The hinge base 1304 is fixed to the top of the second sliding plate 1302 for hinged connection of the hinge rod 1305. The second driving member 1303 is fixed to the bottom of the second sliding plate 1302 and hingedly connected to the hinge rod 1305 to drive the hinge rod 1305 to rotate around the hinge base 1304.

[0027] When using the inspection fixture 1 to fix the seat frame 2, the seat frame 2 is first placed on the fixing frame 11, and the two sets of first positioning components 12 are located on both sides of the length direction of the seat frame 2, and the two sets of second positioning components 13 are located on both sides of the width direction of the seat frame 2. By moving the positions of the first sliding plate 1301 and the second sliding plate 1302, the seat frame 2 is placed on the hinge base 1304, and the hinge base 1304 is located in the center position of the seat frame 2. Then, by controlling the first driving component 121 to drive the snap-fit ​​component 122 to move, the snap-fit ​​components 122 on both sides are fixed on both sides of the length of the seat frame 2 under the action of the groove. Then, by controlling the second driving component 1303 to control the hinge rod 1305 to rotate around the hinge base 1304, so that the hinge rod 1305 covers the hinge base 1304 to fix both sides of the width of the seat frame 2, thereby facilitating the inspection robot to perform inspection operations on the seat frame 2 on the inspection fixture 1. Since the snap-fit ​​component 122 can move along the length direction under the drive of the first drive component 121, and the hinge base 1304 can move along the length and width directions under the movement of the first slide plate 1301 and the second slide plate 1302, the inspection fixture 1 can adapt to seat frames 2 of different sizes and fix them, so that the inspection robot can perform inspection operations on the seat frames 2 fixed on the inspection fixture 1, thereby improving the applicability of the inspection fixture 1.

[0028] In an embodiment of this utility model, the second positioning component 13 further includes a transverse drive 1306 and a transverse transmission rod 1307. The transverse transmission rod 1307 passes through the first slide plate 1301 and is rotatably connected to the fixing frame 11. The transverse drive 1306 is fixed on the fixing frame 11 and connected to the transverse transmission rod 1307 to drive the transverse transmission rod 1307 to move the first slide plate 1301 along the length direction. This causes the first slide plate 1301 to drive the second slide plate 1302, the hinge base 1304, and the hinge rod 1305 to move synchronously, so as to adjust the position of the hinge base 1304 and the hinge rod 1305 in the length direction, so as to clamp and fix the seat frame 2 at different positions and improve the fixing effect of the seat frame 2.

[0029] In the above embodiment, the transverse drive 1306 is a motor, the transverse transmission rod 1307 is a screw, and the first slide plate 1301 is threadedly connected to the transverse transmission rod 1307 so that when the transverse drive 1306 drives the transverse transmission rod 1307 to rotate, the first slide plate 1301 moves along the length direction.

[0030] In an embodiment of this utility model, the second positioning component 13 further includes a longitudinal movement drive 1308, a longitudinal movement support 1309, and a longitudinal movement guide rod 1310. The longitudinal movement drive 1308 is fixed to one side of the second slide plate 1302 and connected to the first slide plate 1301 to drive the first slide plate 1301 to move along the width direction. The longitudinal movement support 1309 is fixed to the other side of the second slide plate 1302. One end of the longitudinal movement guide rod 1310 is fixed to the first slide plate 1301, and the other end passes through the longitudinal movement support 1309 and is connected to the longitudinal movement support 1309. The 09 sliding connection allows the second slide plate 1302 to slide on the first slide plate 1301 when the longitudinal drive 1308 is working. With the cooperation of the longitudinal support 1309 and the longitudinal guide rod 1310, the movement of the second slide plate 1302 is guided. When the second slide plate 1302 slides, it drives the hinge base 1304 and the hinge rod 1305 to move synchronously, so that when the second drive 1303 drives the hinge rod 1305 to rotate around the hinge base 1304, it can fix the seat frame 2, thereby improving the fixation firmness of the seat frame 2.

[0031] In an embodiment of this utility model, the fixing frame 11 is provided with a sliding groove for the first positioning component 12 and the second positioning component 13 to slide. The length of the sliding groove is adapted to the length of the transverse transmission rod 1307, and the width of the sliding groove is adapted to the length of the longitudinal guide rod 1310. This allows the first sliding plate 1301 to adjust the position of the hinge base 1304 in the length direction when it slides along the length direction of the sliding groove, and the second sliding plate 1302 to adjust the position of the hinge base 1304 in the width direction when it slides along the width direction of the sliding groove. This achieves the fixing effect on seat frames 2 of different sizes and improves the applicability of the testing fixture 1.

[0032] In an embodiment of this utility model, a T-shaped groove 111 is provided on the top of the first slide plate 1301, and a protruding T-shaped slider is provided on the bottom of the second slide plate 1302. The T-shaped slider is slidably connected to the T-shaped groove 111 to provide guidance for the movement of the second slide plate 1302 under the action of the T-shaped slider and the T-shaped groove 111, thereby further increasing the movement stability of the second slide plate 1302.

[0033] In an embodiment of this utility model, the first slide plate 1301 includes a fastening part 1311 and a fitting part 1312 that are fixedly connected. The fastening part 1311 fastens to one side of the fixing frame 11, and the fitting part 1312 fits to the bottom of the fixing frame 11 and is fixedly connected to the fitting part 1312 on the first slide plate 1301 in another set of second positioning components 13. Under the fastening action of the fastening part 1311 and the fixing frame 11, the first slide plate 1301 can slide along the length direction of the fixing frame 11. Since the fitting part 1312 fits to the bottom of the fixing frame 11 and the fitting parts 1312 in the first slide plates 1301 on both sides are fixedly connected, the first slide plates 1301 on both sides are connected as a whole. Then, under the drive of the transverse drive member 1306, the first slide plates 1301 on both sides can move synchronously, and the hinge bases 1304 on both sides can move synchronously, so that the two hinge bases 1304 can fix the same position on both sides of the seat frame 2, thereby improving the fixing effect of the seat frame 2.

[0034] In an embodiment of this utility model, the top of the hinge base 1304 is provided with a slot for placing the seat frame 2. The second driving member 1303 can drive the hinge rod 1305 to engage with the slot to fix the seat frame 2. After the seat frame 2 is placed in the slot, the seat frame 2 is fixed by the engagement of the hinge rod 1305 and the slot, thereby improving the fixing effect of the seat frame 2.
