[0049] like Figure 1-4 As shown, this utility model provides a sub-instrument panel inspection fixture, wherein a clip 710 made of metal is provided on the sub-instrument panel 700. This sub-instrument panel inspection fixture is used to detect whether the clip 710 is installed at a target location on the sub-instrument panel 700 and outputs the inspection result.
[0050] The instrument panel inspection fixture includes a base 100, a positioning seat 200, a clamping assembly, and an inspection assembly.
[0051] The positioning seat 200 is positioned above the base 100 and is fixedly connected to the base 100. The positioning seat 200 is provided with a detection through hole 210 for the clip 710 on the sub-instrument panel 700 to pass through, and there is an installation space between the positioning seat 200 and the base 100.
[0052] A clamping assembly is mounted on the base 100 and has a clamping mode and a loosening mode that can be switched between each other. When the clamping assembly is in the clamping mode, it clamps the sub-instrument panel 700. When the clamping assembly is in the loosening mode, it releases the sub-instrument panel 700.
[0053] The detection component is mounted on the base 100. The detection component is used to detect the clip 710 on the target sub-dashboard and output the detection results.
[0054] During operation, firstly, the clamping component is placed in the loosening position, and the sub-instrument panel 700 to be tested is placed on the positioning seat 200; then, the clamping component switches from the loosening position to the clamping position. Under the action of the detection component, the purpose of automatically detecting whether the target position of the sub-instrument panel 700 is equipped with the clip 710 is achieved. The operation is simple and efficient, and avoids false detection or missed detection due to human error.
[0055] Preferably, a support baffle 300 is provided around the installation space to seal the installation space, thereby protecting the detection component installed in the installation space. The support baffle 300 is fixedly connected to the base 100 and the positioning seat 200.
[0056] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the top of the positioning seat 200 is provided with a positioning through hole 220 or a positioning groove 230 that matches the buckle 720 on the sub-instrument panel 700. During operation, the sub-instrument panel 700 is positioned by the cooperation of the buckle 720 and the positioning through hole 220 with the positioning groove 230. Furthermore, since this positioning structure utilizes the structure of the sub-instrument panel 700 itself (buckle 720), the positioning structure is simpler.
[0057] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, multiple clamping assemblies are provided, including a clamping cylinder 510, a clamping arm 520, and a clamping head 530.
[0058] A clamping cylinder 510 is fixedly mounted on the base 100, and the power input shaft of the clamping cylinder 510 extends above the positioning seat 200. The first end of the clamping arm 520 is fixedly connected to the power output shaft of the clamping cylinder 510, and the second end extends freely. A clamping head 530 is fixedly mounted on the second end of the clamping arm 520.
[0059] Preferably, the clamping cylinder 510 is a rotary cylinder, so that when the clamping assembly switches from the clamping condition to the releasing condition, the clamping arm 520 will swing at a preset angle, so that it will not move away from directly above the sub-instrument panel 700, thereby facilitating the picking and placing of the sub-instrument panel 700.
[0060] Preferably, the clamping head 530 is made of a flexible material or the outer side of the clamping head 530 is covered with a flexible pad made of a flexible material. Specifically, the flexible material is one of silicone, plastic, rubber, etc., to prevent damage to the sub-instrument panel 700 during the clamping process.
[0061] like Figure 1As shown, in this embodiment, three clamping components are provided, arranged in a triangle. The three clamping components arranged in a triangle can not only achieve the purpose of fully clamping the auxiliary instrument, but also eliminate the need for additional clamping components, making the structure of the entire device simpler.
[0062] Preferably, the triangle is an isosceles triangle, such that when clamping, one clamping component is located in the middle of the first side of the sub-instrument panel 700, and the other two clamping components are located at the two ends of the second side of the sub-instrument panel 700, thereby improving the clamping effect on the sub-instrument panel 700.
[0063] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning seat 200 is also provided with two support columns 400, which are located on both sides of the center line of the first side of the sub-instrument panel 700. Through the cooperation of the support columns 400 and the clamping assembly, the sub-instrument panel 700 can be clamped and supported on that side of the sub-instrument panel 700, thereby achieving the purpose of preventing damage to the sub-instrument panel 700.
[0064] like Figure 4 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection component includes a status indication module 610, a detection circuit 620, a positive electrode 631, and a negative electrode 632.
[0065] A status indication module 610 is disposed on the positioning base 200 and / or the base 100, and is used to display the detection results. A detection circuit 620 is used to detect the energization status of the circuit 620 and transmits the detection results to the status indication module 610. A positive electrode 631 is fixedly disposed on the base 100 and is electrically connected to the positive terminal of the output circuit of the detection circuit 620. A negative electrode 632 is fixedly disposed on the base 100 and is electrically connected to the negative terminal of the output circuit of the detection circuit 620.
[0066] Specifically, when the target position of the sub-instrument panel 700 is provided with a clip 710, the positive electrode 631 and the negative electrode 632 contact the clip 710, thereby connecting the circuit. The detection circuit 620 detects the change in current or voltage, thereby obtaining the detection result, and transmits the detection result to the status indication module 610, which displays the detection result.
[0067] When the target position of the sub-instrument panel 700 is not equipped with a clip 710, the positive electrode 631 and the negative electrode 632 cannot make contact with the clip 710, so the circuit cannot be connected. The detection circuit 620 cannot detect the change in current or voltage, thus obtaining the detection result and transmitting the detection result to the status indication module 610, which displays the detection result.
[0068] Specifically, the status indication module 610 includes indicator lights and / or a display screen.
[0069] The indicator light can emit light to indicate different detection results. For example, if the target location is detected to have a clip 710, the indicator light will show green light; if the target location is not detected to have a clip 710, the indicator light will show red light.
[0070] The display screen can show text or images indicating different detection results. For example, if the target location is detected to have a clip 710, the display screen will show "OK". If the target location is not detected to have a clip 710, the display screen will show "NG".
[0071] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection component also includes a base 641, a mounting base 642, and an elastic element 650.
[0072] The base 641 is fixedly connected to the base 100. The mounting seat 642 is made of insulating material and is slidably connected to the base 641, allowing the mounting seat 642 to move longitudinally on the base 641. The two ends of the elastic element 650 are connected to the base 641 and the mounting seat 642 respectively, and in its natural state, the elastic element 650 applies a spring force to the mounting seat 642, causing the mounting seat 642 to tend to move upwards. Specifically, although in this embodiment the elastic element 650 is a spring, in other embodiments, the elastic element 650 can be any component capable of applying a spring force to the mounting seat 642, such as a rubber spring, a gas spring, a hydraulic spring, etc.
[0073] During testing, the clip 710 comes into contact with the positive and negative electrodes 632, thereby applying a force to the elastic element 650 through the positive and negative electrodes 632 and the mounting base 642, causing the elastic element 650 to be compressed. This transforms the contact between the clip 710 and the positive and negative electrodes 632 into a soft contact, thus avoiding damage to the positive and negative electrodes 632 or the clip 710 due to hard contact between the positive and negative electrodes 632 and the clip 710.
[0074] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection component further includes a first screw 661, a second screw 671, and a second adjusting nut 672.
[0075] The first end of the first screw 661 is fixedly connected to the base 100, and the second end extends freely upward. The first end of the second screw 671 is coaxially inserted into the second end of the first screw 661, and the second end extends freely upward to the top of the base 641. The second screw 671 is slidably connected to the base 641. The mounting base 642 is disposed at the second end of the second screw 671 and is fixedly connected to the second screw 671. The second adjusting nut 672 is sleeved on the second screw 671 and threadedly connected to the second screw 671. There are two second adjusting nuts 672, one of which is disposed inside the base 641 and the other of which is disposed outside the base 641. The first end of the elastic element 650 abuts against the base 100, and the second end abuts against the second adjusting nut 672 located inside the base 641.
[0076] During operation, by rotating the two second adjusting nuts 672, the distance between the two second adjusting nuts 672 can be changed, thereby changing the travel of the second screw 671. Also, by rotating the second adjusting nuts 672, the position of the second screw 671 can be changed, thereby changing the height of the mounting base 642.
[0077] like Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the detection assembly further includes a first adjusting nut 662, which is sleeved on the first screw 661 and threadedly connected to the first screw 661. The first end of the elastic element 650 abuts against the first adjusting nut 662, and the second end abuts against the second adjusting nut 672 located inside the base 641.
[0078] During operation, the initial length of the elastic element 650 can be kept consistent by rotating the first adjusting nut 662 and the second adjusting nut 672, and will not change due to changes in the height of the second screw 671.
[0079] Numerous specific details are set forth in this specification. However, it will be understood that embodiments of this invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.
[0080] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
