Example
[0030] Please see Figure 1-5 An automated testing device for an automotive center console includes a test platform 1, a mounting component 3, and a fixture 2. The mounting component 3 is mounted on the test platform 1 for quick placement and removal of the fixture 2. The fixture 2 is mounted on the mounting component 3 and has a fixture table 24 for positioning the product. The test platform 1 is equipped with a visual inspection device for photographing and inspecting automotive center consoles, as is found in existing testing equipment. The visual inspection device inspects the surface of the product. The test platform 1 also has a robotic arm for performing a lifting test on the automotive center console. (Both the robotic arm for lifting the product and the visual inspection device for inspecting the product's appearance are existing publicly available equipment and will not be described in detail here.)
[0031] The mounting component 3 includes a mounting plate 34, a movable plate 33 on the mounting plate 34, and a quick clamp 38 on the movable plate 33. The tooling component 2 is fixed to the mounting plate 34 by the quick clamp 38.
[0032] Several quick clamps 38 are provided, and the quick clamps 38 are respectively located on the left and right sides of the tooling 2 for stable positioning of the tooling 2. Through multiple quick clamps 38, the tooling 2 can be stably fixed.
[0033] Tooling component 2 includes a fixing plate 21, on which a tooling table 24 is provided for positioning and placing the product. Handles 23 are provided on both the left and right sides of the fixing plate 21, which facilitate the workers to pick up and remove the tooling component 2 as a whole.
[0034] The fixing plate 21 is provided with a positioning groove 22 corresponding to the quick clamp 38, and the quick clamp 38 is provided with a positioning end corresponding to the positioning groove 22, so that the tooling part 2 can be stably placed on the mounting plate 34.
[0035] The mounting plate 34 is equipped with a positioning block 341 for quick positioning of the fixing plate 21. The positioning block 341 enables the worker to quickly position the fixing plate 21 when changing the tooling 2.
[0036] There are two mounting plates 34 and two movable plates 33, which are located on the two sides of the test platform 1.
[0037] A slide rail assembly 35 is provided below the mounting plate 34. The mounting plate 34 is mounted on the test platform 1 through the slide rail assembly 35. A pulley 36 is provided below the mounting plate 34 to improve the stability of movement. The slide rail assembly 35 enables the mounting part 3 to move as a whole, and the pulley 36 further improves the overall stability of movement of the mounting part 3.
[0038] The mounting component 3 also includes a linear motor 31, which is mounted on the test bench 1. The driving unit of the linear motor 31 is equipped with a driving plate 32. The linear motor 31 is located on the side of one of the mounting plates 34. The driving plate 32 is connected to the adjacent mounting plate 34. The linear motor 31 moves the driving plate 32 to move it precisely, thereby moving the tooling component 2 to the appropriate position for testing.
[0039] A connecting plate 37 is provided between the two mounting plates 34. The connecting plate 37 is connected to the two mounting plates 34 respectively. When the linear motor 31 drives one of the mounting plates 34 to move through the connecting plate 37, the other mounting plate 34 can move synchronously, which improves the overall stability and coordination of the testing equipment.
[0040] When using this invention to test different models of car center armrest boxes, the quick clamp 38 that presses the positioning rod of the fixing plate 21 is pulled upwards, thereby moving the positioning end on the quick clamp 38 out of the positioning groove 22 and away from the fixing plate 21. The operator holds the handle 23 with both hands, which can lift the tooling table 24 as a whole, thereby removing the tooling 2 and replacing it with a tooling 2 with a tooling table 24 of a different model. The replaced tooling 2 is placed on the mounting plate 34, and the fixing plate 21 is pressed against the positioning block 341, which can quickly position the tooling 2 so that the positioning groove 22 can correspond to the positioning end on the quick positioning piece. The operator pulls the quick positioning piece so that its positioning end moves towards the positioning groove 22 and is inserted into the positioning groove 22, which can fix the position of the fixing plate 21 and connect it with the mounting plate 34. This allows for quick replacement of the tooling 2, enabling the testing equipment to test different sizes and models of car center armrest boxes, and the replacement process is quick and convenient.
[0041] After the replaced tooling 2 is fixedly installed, the linear motor 31 starts, driving the drive plate 32 to move. The drive plate 32 then drives the moving plate 33 connected to it to move, which in turn drives the mounting plate 34 connected to it to move. When the mounting plate 34 moves, the two mounting plates 34 can move synchronously through the connecting plate 37. When the mounting plate 34 moves, it drives the installed tooling 2 to move together, thereby moving the installed tooling 2 to the test position for product testing, ensuring that different models of car center armrest boxes are tested in the most appropriate position.
[0042] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
