Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of instrument panel protective cover fixtures, specifically a processing fixture for an automotive instrument panel protective cover. Background Technology
[0002] The car dashboard, also known as the instrument panel or dashboard, is an indispensable part of the vehicle's interior. It is typically located in front of the driver's seat, allowing the driver to easily access various real-time vehicle data while driving. Dashboards come in various structures and styles, commonly including screen-type, frame-type, channel-type, and cabinet-type.
[0003] In existing technologies, dashboard protection can be achieved by adding a protective cover. Current automotive dashboard protective covers generally consist of a side cover and an acrylic sheet. The acrylic sheet is bonded to the side cover. However, the connection between the acrylic sheet and the side cover typically involves manual positioning and alignment during bonding, resulting in low assembly efficiency and a tendency for misalignment. To address these issues, a processing fixture for automotive dashboard protective covers is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a processing fixture for automotive dashboard protective covers in order to solve the problems mentioned above.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: A processing fixture for a car dashboard protective cover includes an assembly plate, on which side cover holders are fixedly installed on the left, right, front and back sides, and mounting seats are fixedly installed on both sides of the assembly plate. A clamping cylinder is fixedly installed on the mounting seat, and a rotating arm is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the clamping cylinder. An acrylic sheet transverse positioning plate is fixedly installed on the rotating arm, and an acrylic sheet longitudinal positioning plate is integrally constructed on both sides of the transverse positioning plate.
[0006] In a preferred embodiment, a fixed base frame is fixedly installed at the bottom of the assembly plate.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, a V-block is fixedly connected to the rotating arm, and a V-seat is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base, with the V-seat and the V-block being fitted and snapped together.
[0008] In a preferred embodiment, a guide plate is fixedly connected to the transverse positioning plate.
[0009] In a preferred embodiment, a guide plate two is fixedly connected to the longitudinal positioning plate.
[0010] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0011] 1. In this utility model, a clamping seat is used to position the side cover of the car dashboard protective cover. Then, the clamping cylinder is activated to drive the horizontal positioning plate on the handle to rotate downward. At this time, the horizontal positioning plate will press the side cover onto the clamping seat. At the same time, the horizontal positioning plates and the vertical positioning plates of the two clamping cylinders form the acrylic plate positioning mechanism of the car dashboard protective cover. Later, the acrylic plate only needs to be inserted between the horizontal positioning plates and the vertical positioning plates of the two clamping cylinders to achieve accurate positioning and adhesion. The above-mentioned clamping device facilitates the positioning and installation of the side cover and acrylic plate of the car dashboard protective cover. Compared with manual positioning, it can improve the installation accuracy and efficiency. Moreover, the structure is simple and the equipment cost is low, making it worthy of promotion and use.

[0017] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the embodiments of this utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0018] The following will combine Figures 1-4 A detailed description is provided of a machining fixture for an automotive dashboard protective cover according to an embodiment of this utility model. Example
[0019] This utility model provides a machining fixture for an automotive dashboard protective cover, with reference to... Figures 1 to 4As shown, the structure includes an assembly plate 1, on which side cover mounting brackets 2 are fixedly installed on the left, right, front, and back. Mounting seats 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the assembly plate 1. Clamping cylinders 4 are fixedly installed on the mounting seats 3. A rotating arm 5 is fixedly installed on the rotating shaft of the clamping cylinder 4. An acrylic sheet transverse positioning plate 6 is fixedly installed on the rotating arm 5. Longitudinal acrylic sheet positioning plates 7 are integrally constructed on both sides of the transverse positioning plate 6. In this structure, the side cover of the car dashboard protective cover is clamped onto the four mounting brackets 2. Then, the clamping cylinder 4 is activated, causing the rotating handle 5 to rotate downwards. This causes the horizontal positioning plate 6 to rotate downwards. At this time, the horizontal positioning plate 6 will press the side cover tightly onto the clamping seat 2. Meanwhile, the horizontal positioning plates 6 of the two clamping cylinders 4, together with the vertical positioning plate 7, form the acrylic plate positioning mechanism for the car dashboard protective cover. Later, the acrylic plate only needs to be inserted between the horizontal positioning plates 6 and the vertical positioning plates 7 of the two clamping cylinders 4 to achieve accurate positioning and adhesion. The above-mentioned clamps facilitate the positioning and installation of the side cover and acrylic plate of the car dashboard protective cover. Compared with manual positioning, it can improve the installation accuracy and efficiency.
[0020] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a fixed base frame 8 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the assembly plate 1. In this structure, the fixed base frame 8 can be used to install the assembly plate 1 onto the equipment rack.
[0021] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a V-block 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating arm 5, and a V-seat 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting base 3. The V-seat 10 and the V-block 9 are fitted and snapped together. This structure positions the downward rotation position of the rotating arm 5 and ensures the accurate position of the transverse positioning plate 6.
[0022] refer to Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a guide plate 11 is fixedly connected to the transverse positioning plate 6, and a guide plate 2 12 is fixedly connected to the longitudinal positioning plate 7. This structure utilizes the guide plate 11 and the guide plate 2 12 to facilitate the quick insertion of the acrylic plate between the transverse positioning plate 6 and the longitudinal positioning plate 7.
[0023] The implementation principle of a processing fixture for a car dashboard protective cover according to an embodiment of this application is as follows: In use, the side cover of the car dashboard protective cover is clamped onto four clamping seats 2. Then, the clamping cylinder 4 is activated to drive the rotating handle 5 to rotate downward, thereby driving the transverse positioning plate 6 to rotate downward. At this time, the transverse positioning plate 6 will press the side cover onto the clamping seat 2. At the same time, the transverse positioning plates 6 of the two clamping cylinders 4, together with the longitudinal positioning plate 7, form the acrylic plate positioning mechanism of the car dashboard protective cover. Later, it is only necessary to insert the acrylic plate between the transverse positioning plates 6 and the longitudinal positioning plate 7 of the two clamping cylinders 4, so as to accurately position and adhere it. The above fixture facilitates the positioning and installation of the side cover and acrylic plate of the car dashboard protective cover. Compared with manual positioning, it can improve the installation accuracy and installation efficiency.
