Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inspection tool technology, and relates to instrument panel inspection tools. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, there is a need to design an instrument panel inspection fixture to check whether the instrument panel is up to standard. The choice of materials for its manufacture is very important. If a steel frame is used to make the fixture body, the fixture will be too heavy due to the high density of steel, making it very inconvenient for a single person to handle. If resin is used as the fixture body, its weak strength will make it easily damaged during operation.

[0003] Patent publication number CN206387344U discloses an instrument panel inspection fixture. A square carbon fiber tube frame has two front-end frame positioning modules for positioning the instrument panel, and three inspection mounting hole modules around the circumference for checking the instrument panel mounting holes. The front-end frame positioning modules are fixed to an aluminum plate, which is connected to the square carbon fiber tube frame via a U-shaped frame. One side of each front-end frame positioning module has a reference pin, and the opposite side has two symmetrically placed inspection pins via tightening pins. The inspection mounting hole modules are fixed to the aluminum plate, which is connected to the square carbon fiber tube frame via a U-shaped frame. Each inspection mounting hole module has a scribing pin and inspection pins. The instrument panel inspection fixture is positioned onto the vehicle body using the front-end frame positioning modules, and the inspection mounting hole modules check the conformity of the instrument panel mounting holes on the vehicle parts. This results in a lightweight yet high-strength instrument panel inspection fixture that is easy to operate.

[0004] The aforementioned inspection fixture has inconveniences in actual use. Because the instrument panel has a wide and long structure, its edge contour cannot match the front frame positioning module disclosed in the solution. This results in the inspection unit not being able to be effectively inserted into the inspection hole slot during the inspection process, leading to inaccurate inspection results. Therefore, we have designed an instrument panel inspection fixture. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an instrument panel inspection tool to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solution: An instrument panel inspection fixture includes an instrument testing platform and an automotive instrument panel. An instrument support frame is bolted to the top of the instrument testing platform. A platform plate is mounted on the top of the instrument support frame. Two limiting columns are mounted on the top of the platform plate. The screw holes of the automotive instrument panel are connected to the limiting columns via fastening bolts, allowing the platform plate to support and limit the automotive instrument panel. The fixture also includes a contour mounting base. Multiple interlocking instrument panel edge strips are mounted on the top of the contour mounting base. Each instrument panel edge strip has a contour surface on its side that matches the edge of the automotive instrument panel. Two corner limiting blocks are mounted on the top of the platform plate. These two corner limiting blocks, in conjunction with the instrument panel edge strips, correspond to the two corners of the automotive instrument panel. A horizontal bar adjustment rail is fixedly mounted on the side of the instrument support frame. A telescopic adjustment rod is slidably connected inside the horizontal bar adjustment rail. An adjustment screw is mounted on one end of the telescopic adjustment rod. One end of the adjustment screw is fixedly connected to an abutment block. An end limiting plate is provided on one end of the abutment block, corresponding to the end of the corner limiting block.

[0007] In the aforementioned instrument panel inspection fixture, the instrument panel area and the central control screen area of ​​the automotive instrument panel are respectively equipped with a first outline inspection plate and a second outline inspection plate. A handle is fixedly installed in the middle of both the first and second outline inspection plates. This arrangement facilitates the inspection of the instrument panel area and the central control screen area of ​​the automotive instrument panel, ensuring that these areas meet production standards.

[0008] In the aforementioned instrument panel fixture, the top of the instrument testing tooling table is equipped with multiple support sleeves of varying lengths. Each support sleeve has a fixture bracket mounted on its top, and the fixture bracket is connected to a fixture mounting plate via a locking screw. The fixture mounting plate has multiple mounting points, each with a connecting rod. The detection end of the connecting rod has a slot detection block. A spring is fitted onto the surface of the connecting rod, and the spring connects to the end of the mounting point. This design utilizes multiple mounting points to install movable slot detection blocks, and the connecting rod pushes the slot detection blocks to connect with the corresponding slots, thus quickly detecting whether the slots meet processing standards.

[0009] In the aforementioned instrument panel fixture, an instrument panel holder is installed at the extended end of the end limiting plate, and multiple clamping bolts are installed on the top of the instrument panel holder. This design aims to further limit and fix the vehicle's instrument panel, ensuring its stability during testing.

[0010] In the aforementioned instrument panel fixture, a bolt limiting part is provided in the middle of the telescopic adjustment link, and the telescopic adjustment link is locked and limited to the horizontal bar adjustment rail through the bolt limiting part. The purpose of this setting is to have a good limiting effect, so that the telescopic adjustment link can be effectively fixed in the adjustment position, ensuring the stability of the telescopic adjustment link after the adjustment position.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this instrument panel inspection fixture are as follows: A contour mounting base is provided, and multiple interlocking instrument panel edge strips are installed on the top of the contour mounting base. Each instrument panel edge strip has a contour surface on its side that matches the edge of the car instrument panel. Two corner limiting blocks are installed on the top of the platform plate. These two corner limiting blocks, in conjunction with the instrument panel edge strips, correspond to the two corners of the car instrument panel. This allows for a proper fit with the contour edge of the car instrument panel, providing a good limiting effect and reducing its deformation. When using the fixture for inspection, the hole and slot inspection blocks can be quickly and accurately aligned with the holes and slots, ensuring good inspection accuracy and reducing inaccurate inspection caused by assembly errors.
