[0025] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0026] Example 1
[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this utility model provides a clamping fixture for processing automotive interior trim panels, including a base 1. The top of the base 1 is provided with four U-shaped plates 2. The top of each of the four U-shaped plates 2 is threadedly connected with a threaded rod 3. One end of the threaded rod 3, which passes through the interior of the U-shaped plate 2, is rotatably connected to a fixed pressure plate 4. One side of the fixed pressure plate 4 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 2. A rubber pad 5 is adhered to the bottom of the fixed pressure plate 4. A protective pad 20 is adhered to the bottom of the inner wall of the U-shaped plate 2. The protective pad 20 is made of rubber material and cooperates with the rubber pad 5 to protect the clamped workpiece. A locking assembly 6 is provided on the top of the U-shaped plate 2.
[0028] The locking assembly 6 includes two arc-shaped plates 61 that are adapted to the threaded rod 3. The front and rear sides of the two arc-shaped plates 61 are fixedly provided with protruding plates 62. The two protruding plates 62 are threadedly connected to each other by a first adjusting bolt 63. The top sides of the U-shaped plate 2 are provided with sliding grooves 7. The bottom of the two arc-shaped plates 61 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the sliding grooves 7 by connecting blocks.
[0029] With the above structure, after the car interior trim panel is placed between the four U-shaped plates 2, the fixed pressure plate 4 can be moved downward by manually rotating the threaded rod 3, and vice versa, the fixed pressure plate 4 can be moved upward to fix and press the workpiece inside the U-shaped plate 2. The rubber pad 5 and the protective pad 20 are used to protect the surface of the workpiece, and at the same time increase the friction with the workpiece, improving the clamping stability. After the threaded rod 3 is adjusted, the two arc-shaped plates 61 are assembled together on the threaded rod 3. The two arc-shaped plates 61 are locked by the first adjusting bolt 63, which can make the two arc-shaped plates 61 clamp the threaded rod 3, further positioning the threaded rod 3 and preventing it from rotating under external force, thus improving the structural stability.
[0030] Example 2
[0031] Based on Example 1, please refer to Figure 1 and Figures 4 to 6 As shown, mounting seats 8 are provided on both the front and rear sides of the top of the base 1, and movable blocks 9 are slidably connected to both sides of the inner wall of the mounting seat 8. A partition 10 is fixedly connected to the middle of the inner wall of the mounting seat 8. Electric telescopic rods 11 are fixedly provided on both sides of the partition 10. The electric telescopic rods 11 are connected to an external power source through wires and controlled by an external drive system. The output end of the electric telescopic rods 11 is fixedly connected to the surface of the movable block 9. A vertical rod 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 9. The top of the vertical rod 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the U-shaped plate 2. The top of the mounting seat 8 is provided with a movable groove 13 that matches the vertical rod 12.
[0032] Both sides of the base 1 are provided with through slots 14. The bottom of the two mounting seats 8 are fixedly connected with fixing plates 15, and the bottom of the fixing plates 15 is slidably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the base 1. A slider 16 is movably provided on the outer side of the base 1. The fixing plates 15 and the slider 16 are fixedly connected by a connecting plate 17, so that the slider 16 can easily drive the mounting seats 8 to move through the connecting plate 17 and the fixing plate 15. A second adjusting bolt 18 is threadedly connected to one side of the slider 16. The outer side of the base 1 is provided with threaded holes 19 that are adapted to the second adjusting bolt 18. Multiple threaded holes 19 are provided and are evenly distributed on the outer side of the base 1.
[0033] With the above structure, by activating the electric telescopic rod 11, the movable block 9 is driven to reciprocate within the mounting base 8, thereby driving each U-shaped plate 2 to reciprocate on the mounting base 8 via the vertical rod 12. The position of each U-shaped plate 2 can be adjusted laterally according to the shape of the automotive interior trim panel. By unscrewing the second adjusting bolt 18 out of the slider 16, the slider 16 slides within the through groove 14. The slider 16, through the fixing plate 15, can drive the mounting base 8 to move on the base 1, facilitating the adjustment of the longitudinal distance between the U-shaped plates 2. After adjustment, the second adjusting bolt 18 is screwed into the corresponding threaded hole 19 to fix the position of the mounting base 8.
