Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention proposes the following implementation scheme: an automotive dashboard research and development test bench, including a support frame 1, a shell 2 to be tested is arranged inside the support frame 1, and a set of positioning components 3 for fixing the shell 2 to be tested is arranged inside the support frame 1. The positioning components 3 include a moving groove 31 opened inside the support frame 1, a sliding rod 32 sliding inside the moving groove 31, the top end of the sliding rod 32 sliding through the support frame 1 and rotatably sleeved with a positioning frame 33, and a support groove 36 that slides around the sliding rod 32 is opened at one end of the positioning frame 33 near the sliding rod 32.
[0031] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 3The positioning component 3 also includes a pad 34 fixed to the bottom end of the slide rod 32, and the pad 34 is fixed to the bottom surface of the support frame 1. A tension spring 35 sleeved on the outside of the slide rod 32 is fixed between the pad 34 and the inner top wall of the moving groove 31, and the outer diameter of the tension spring 35 is smaller than the inner diameter of the moving groove 31.
[0032] In the above scheme, the positioning frame 33 is rotated so that the support groove 36 slides on the top of the slide bar 32. When the positioning frame 33 rotates to an angle parallel to the support frame 1, the positioning frame 33 is pulled by the tension spring 35 so that the positioning frame 33 can contact the shell 2 to be tested and fix the position of the shell 2 to be tested.
[0033] Please refer to this carefully. Figure 2 and Figure 4 A connecting block 4 is rotatably connected to one side of the support frame 1. A connecting frame 5 is fixed to one side of the connecting block 4. A set of positioning blocks 51 is fixed to one side of the connecting frame 5. A slot 52 is provided on one side of the positioning block 51. A set of limiting components 8 is provided inside the support frame 1 to fix the position of the positioning block 51. The limiting components 8 include a sliding groove 81 opened inside the support frame 1. A positioning shell 82 slides inside the sliding groove 81. A storage groove 84 is opened inside the positioning shell 82. A compression spring 85 is fixed between the inner side wall of the storage groove 84 and the inner side wall of the sliding groove 81.

[0039] In the above scheme, when the connecting frame 5 is closed, the sealing strip 12 can enter the interior of the sealing groove 11, improving the sealing performance of the transparent cover 6.
[0040] In use, the following steps are taken: When the housing 2 to be tested is placed inside the support frame 1, the positioning frame 33 is rotated so that the support groove 36 slides on the top of the slide rod 32. When the positioning frame 33 rotates to an angle parallel to the support frame 1, the positioning frame 33 is pulled by the tension spring 35, so that the positioning frame 33 can contact the housing 2 to be tested and fix the position of the housing 2 to be tested, which is convenient for subsequent research and development and testing of the housing 2 to be tested and avoids the position of the housing 2 to be tested shaking when the test bench is in use. Then the connecting frame 5 is closed, and at the same time, the positioning block 51 is brought close to the slide groove 81. The positioning block 51 pushes the positioning shell 82 and embeds it into the interior of the slide groove 81. The compression spring 85 pushes the positioning shell 82 into the interior of the slot 52, which can fix the position of the positioning block 51 and form a sealed space inside the transparent cover 6. Then the interior of the transparent cover 6 is illuminated by the external light source 10 so as to simulate the internal environment of the vehicle to test the instrument panel and improve the accuracy of the instrument panel data detection.
