Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts manufacturing technology, and in particular to a sliding tool for installing and fixing automotive sub-instrument panels. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive sub-dashboard typically refers to components such as storage compartments, cup holders, or armrest boxes near the center console. During the manufacturing process of the automotive sub-dashboard, multiple metal clips are installed on the inside of the dashboard. These clips connect and secure the sub-dashboard to other interior components during vehicle installation. The metal clips provide stronger fixing force, facilitate assembly and maintenance, and, as a tight locking component, also prevent noise caused by vibrations while the vehicle is in motion.

[0003] With the advancement of automated production, robotic arms have now replaced manual labor in picking up clips from vibratory feeders and automatically installing them on the sub-instrument panels. However, in order to facilitate the automated installation of clips on the vibratory sub-instrument panels, appropriate tooling is required to install and secure the sub-instrument panels. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a sliding fixture for installing and fixing an automotive sub-instrument panel.

[0005] To achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A sliding fixture for installing and securing a vehicle sub-instrument panel is provided, including a base, a plurality of fixture seats for placing the sub-instrument panel are provided on the base, the fixture seats are formed with mounting grooves for conforming to the shape of the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel, and fixing components for cooperating with the fixture seats to secure the sub-instrument panel are provided on both sides of the base.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixing assembly includes positioning cylinders and positioning blocks. Multiple positioning cylinders are spaced apart on both sides of the work seat. The piston rod of the positioning cylinder is fixedly connected to the positioning block, and the positioning block is used to mate with the hole on the side of the sub-instrument panel.

[0008] Furthermore, a pressure plate is fixedly installed on the piston rod of the positioning cylinder, and the positioning block is located on the side of the pressure plate away from the positioning cylinder. The pressure plate is used to abut against the outer wall of the sub-instrument panel.

[0009] Furthermore, the tooling base has several positioning protrusions that are used to insert into holes on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel and to contact the inner wall of the holes on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel.

[0010] Furthermore, at least two slide rails are fixedly mounted parallel to each other on the base, a slider is slidably mounted on the slide rail, a sliding plate is fixedly mounted on the slider, a tooling seat is fixedly mounted on the sliding plate, and a rodless cylinder is mounted on the base, with the output end of the rodless cylinder fixedly connected to the sliding plate.

[0011] Furthermore, a handle is fixedly installed on the sliding plate.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When installing metal clips on the sub-dashboard of a car, the sub-dashboard is placed on the tooling base and clamped and fixed by the fixing components. Then, the robot arm can pick up the metal clips from the vibratory feeder and install them stably on the sub-dashboard, thereby improving the installation accuracy of the metal clips on the sub-dashboard.

[0017] To better understand the above technical solutions, the following will provide a detailed explanation of the technical solutions in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0018] This application discloses a sliding fixture for installing and securing an automotive sub-instrument panel, referring to... Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 It includes a base 1, on which a tooling seat 2 is provided. The tooling seat 2 is for mounting the sub-instrument panel. The tooling seat 2 has a mounting groove 21 that matches the shape of the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel, so that the sub-instrument panel can be stably placed on the tooling seat 2.

[0019] Fixing components 3 are provided on both sides of the fixture base 2 to fix the sub-instrument panel placed on the fixture base 2. Holes are provided through the side walls of the sub-instrument panel, and when the sub-instrument panel is placed on the fixture base 2, the holes on both sides of the sub-instrument panel are horizontal. Specifically, the fixing components 3 can be composed of positioning cylinders 31 and positioning blocks 32. Multiple positioning cylinders 31 are provided on both sides of the fixture base 2, and the positioning cylinders 31 on both sides of the fixture base 2 are arranged at intervals. The positioning blocks 32 are connected to the piston rod end of the positioning cylinders 31. The positioning blocks 32 are directly opposite the horizontal holes on the sub-instrument panel. By pushing the positioning blocks 32 with the positioning cylinders 31 to engage with the holes on the sub-instrument panel, the sub-instrument panel placed on the fixture base 2 can be effectively fixed and limited.

[0020] Furthermore, the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 31 is fixedly provided with a pressure plate 33, and the positioning block 32 is located on the side of the pressure plate 33 away from the positioning cylinder 31. The pressure plate 33 is used to abut against the outer wall of the sub-instrument panel. The pressure plate 33 is used to increase the contact area with the sub-instrument panel when positioning it, and to press the sub-instrument panel tightly onto the tooling seat 2, thereby improving the fixing effect of the sub-instrument panel.

[0021] In order to quickly position and install the sub-instrument panel on the tooling base 2, several positioning protrusions 22 are integrally protruded and fixed on the tooling base 2. The positioning protrusions 22 are used to cooperate with the mounting holes such as the stop bar and cup holder on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel. They can be inserted into the holes on the bottom wall of the sub-instrument panel and contact the inner wall of these holes, so as to realize the quick positioning and installation of the sub-instrument panel on the tooling base 2.

[0022] Furthermore, a rubber protective layer can be provided on the surface of the tooling seat 2 that is in contact with the sub-instrument panel to prevent wear and scratches on the inner surface of the sub-instrument panel when it is installed on the tooling seat 2.

[0023] To prevent interference between the sub-instrument panel and the robotic arm above the base 1 during loading and unloading, in this embodiment, at least two slide rails 4 are fixedly mounted parallel to each other on the base 1, and a tooling seat 2 is slidably mounted on the slide rails 4 via a slider. The tooling seat 2 is fixedly mounted on a sliding plate 5, and a rodless cylinder 51 is provided on the base 1, with its output end fixedly connected to the sliding plate 5. The rodless cylinder 51 can push the sliding plate 5 horizontally on the base 1, thereby allowing the tooling seat 2 on the sliding plate 5 to move in and out from below the robotic arm, ensuring that the sub-instrument panel avoids the robotic arm with mounting clips during loading and unloading.

[0024] To facilitate the movement or maintenance of the sliding plate 5 by the staff, a handle 52 is fixedly installed on the sliding plate 5, which allows the staff to easily hold the handle 52 and move the sliding plate 5 and the tooling seat 2 on it.

[0025] To manage the pipelines on the tooling base 2, in this embodiment, a pipeline drag chain is provided on one side edge of the base 1 along the sliding direction of the sliding plate 5. One end of the pipeline drag chain is connected to the base 1, and the other end is connected to the sliding plate 5. The pipelines of the rodless cylinder 51 and various sensors on the sliding plate 5 pass through the pipeline drag chain.
