Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of strength testing, specifically relating to a strength testing device for automotive center console trim panels. Background Technology

[0002] With societal progress and the diversification of work and life, the demands of car passengers are becoming increasingly diverse. Due to the limited space within the car's passenger compartment, the design of storage space is a crucial aspect of meeting passenger storage needs. Traditionally, storage space has primarily taken the form of general-purpose, open storage compartments or racks, where passengers place their various items. Currently, to provide space for the lower drivetrain, passenger vehicles often feature a central tunnel in the middle of the front floor. This central tunnel must be structurally reinforced to meet various performance requirements; therefore, it is necessary to test the design strength of the central tunnel trim panel.

[0019] Preferred embodiment.

[0020] This embodiment provides a strength testing device for a car center console trim panel, including a first frame 100. The upper end of the first frame 100 is provided with a plurality of first support blocks 230. The outer side of the first frame 100 is provided with a plurality of first limiting posts. The first limiting posts are provided with first T-slots 210. The first support blocks 230 are hinged to first limiting rods 240. The end of the first limiting rods 240 is provided with first through holes 241. The first T-slots 210 are provided with a plurality of first bolts 220. The first through holes 241 are matched with the first bolts 220. The upper end of the first frame 100 is provided with a first support frame 110. The lower end of the first support frame 110 is provided with a testing mechanism.

[0021] Furthermore, the detection mechanism includes a first cylinder 120, a first pressure plate 130, a second pressure plate 140, and a pressure sensor 150. The first cylinder 120 is disposed at the upper end of the first support frame 110, the first pressure plate 130 is disposed at the lower end of the first cylinder 120, the second pressure plate 140 is disposed below the first pressure plate 130, and the pressure sensor 150 is connected between the first pressure plate 130 and the second pressure plate 140.

[0022] Furthermore, the first frame 100 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 170, which are arranged in an array. The lower end of the first support block 230 is provided with a first cut 250, and a first connecting rod 260 is hinged to the first cut 250. The first connecting rod 260 is provided with a first strip hole 261, which matches the second through holes 170.

[0023] Furthermore, a plurality of first nuts 180 are welded to the lower end of the first frame 100, and the first nuts 180 correspond one-to-one with the second through holes 170.

[0024] Furthermore, the lower end of the second pressure plate 140 is provided with a first sponge block 160, the thickness of the first sponge block 160 not exceeding 5mm.

[0025] Working principle: The car center console trim panel is placed between the first frame 100 and the second pressure plate 140. Through the cooperation of the first support block 230 and the car center console trim panel (such as bolts and holes), the position of the first support block 230 is first confirmed. Then, the first bolt 220 is passed through the first through hole 241 and fixed with a nut structure. The first limiting rods 240 on both sides of the adjacent first limiting post are fixed to the upper ends of the adjacent first limiting posts. At the same time, the bolt structure is passed through the first strip hole 261 and the second through hole 170 and connected to the first nut 180. That is, the first support block 230 is fixed through fixing in three directions, thereby better fixing the car center console trim panel and ensuring the stability of the car center console trim panel. Then, the first cylinder 120 pushes the first pressure plate 130 downward, causing the second pressure plate 140 to press against the car's center console trim panel. The first sponge block 160 first contacts the surface of the car's center console trim panel, and the compression of the first sponge block 160 transmits force to the car's center console trim panel. The pressure sensor 150 can monitor the pressure of the car's center console trim panel in real time, detecting the compressive strength and structural strength of the car's center console trim panel. The air source for the first cylinder 120 is provided by conventional technologies such as an air pump, and therefore will not be described in detail.

[0026] It is worth mentioning that the technical features such as the first sponge block 160 involved in this utility model patent application should be regarded as prior art. The specific structure, working principle and possible control methods and spatial arrangement methods of these technical features can be adopted by conventional choices in the field, and should not be regarded as the utility model point of this utility model patent. This utility model patent will not elaborate further.

[0027] For those skilled in the art, modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
