Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of welding fixture technology, and in particular to a welding fixture for an automotive dashboard mounting bracket assembly. Background Technology

[0002] To improve clamping efficiency, people began to use cylinders for automatic clamping. This involves placing the parts on various pre-designed top blocks, then activating the cylinder switch to press the pressure block that mates with the top block onto the parts. Finally, an industrial welding robot is used to automatically weld the parts.

[0003] Current automotive dashboard mounting bracket welding fixtures may apply excessive force when clamping the dashboard mounting brackets during welding, scratching the dashboard and its mounting brackets and causing product quality damage.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this situation, there is an urgent need to design and manufacture a welding fixture for automotive dashboard mounting bracket assembly to meet the needs of actual use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a welding fixture for an automotive dashboard mounting bracket assembly to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a welding fixture for an automotive dashboard mounting bracket assembly, comprising a movable plate, a connecting band for the automotive dashboard mounting bracket assembly welding fixture being connected to the side of the movable plate, a rotating shaft being connected to the end of the connecting band away from the movable plate, a first fixed plate being rotatably connected to the side of the rotating shaft, a second motor being mounted on the side of the first fixed plate, a first telescopic rod being fixedly connected to the lower side of the movable plate, a first retractable member being fixedly connected to the extended end of the first telescopic rod, a second retractable member being mounted on the side of the first fixed plate, and the first retractable member being sleeved with the connecting band.

[0007] Preferably, a rack is fixedly connected to the side of the movable plate, and a support frame is slidably connected to the side of the rack.

[0008] Preferably, a spur gear meshes with the side of the rack, and a first motor is connected to the side of the spur gear.

[0009] Preferably, a base is fixedly connected to the lower side of the support frame, and a worktable is fixedly connected to the upper side of the base.

[0010] Preferably, a second fixing plate is fixedly connected to the upper side of the workbench, and a second telescopic rod is installed on the side of the second fixing plate.

[0011] Preferably, the extended end of the second telescopic rod is fixedly connected to a clamping plate.

[0012] Preferably, the fixed end of the first motor is installed with the support frame.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the technical effects and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] The automotive dashboard mounting bracket assembly welding fixture uses a first telescopic rod to move a first gathering member, which in turn causes the connecting belt to retract. Then, a second motor is started to rotate the rotating shaft, which in turn winds up the connecting belt, thus securing the automotive dashboard mounting bracket. The connecting belt is soft and will not scratch or damage the automotive dashboard mounting bracket due to clamping.

[0015] The first motor drives the spur gear to rotate, which in turn moves the rack, the moving plate and the connecting belt. This allows for the clamping and fixing of car dashboard mounting brackets of different sizes. At the same time, the connecting belt can clamp car dashboard mounting brackets of various sizes, increasing practicality. Attached Figure Description
