Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of spraying equipment, and in particular to a fixing fixture for spraying automotive air vent panels. Background Technology

[0002] As an important component of automotive interiors, the design of car air vent panels not only needs to consider aesthetics and functionality, but also the integration of personalized elements and the trend towards intelligent technology. Car air vent panels come in various shapes, including round, square, rectangular, or irregular shapes, and the choice of shape usually depends on the overall design style and interior layout of the car. The color of the panel needs to coordinate with the style and color scheme of the entire interior. Common colors include classic black and silver, as well as more distinctive colors, used to add vibrancy and uniqueness to the interior.

[0003] When a car's air vent panel involves two or more colors, switching between colors requires masking specific areas to ensure color matching. Currently, the common practice is to wrap masking tape around the part, partially masking it, and then painting the unmasked areas with the other color.

[0004] However, masking with masking tape often involves manual wrapping by workers, which is slow, especially for irregularly shaped air vent panels. Wrapping specific areas is inconvenient, and the masking effect cannot be guaranteed due to variations in manual wrapping, affecting subsequent color painting. Therefore, a fixture is needed for fixed masking of irregularly shaped automotive air vent panels during painting. Utility Model Content

[0034] Example 1

[0035] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, this embodiment provides a spraying masking and fixing fixture for an automotive air vent panel, used for masking and fixing the air vent panel 1. The air vent panel 1 includes a panel body 11, a columnar connector 12, and a plug connector 13. The columnar connector 12 is obliquely fixed to one side of the panel body 11. The columnar connector 12 is provided with a coaxial mounting hole 14. The plug connector 13 is arranged parallel to the columnar connector 12. The fixture includes a mounting plate 2, a fixing block 3, and a positioning post 4.

[0036] The fixing block 3 and the positioning post 4 are both fixed at an angle on one side of the mounting plate 2. The fixing block 3 and the positioning post 4 are parallel to each other. The fixing block 3 and the positioning post 4 are arranged in an array and are alternately distributed. The fixing block 3 is provided with a plug hole 31, which matches the shape of the plug connector 13. The positioning post 4 matches the shape of the mounting hole 13 on the column connector 12.

[0037] Working principle: When spraying the air outlet panel 1, the plug connector 13 at one end of the air outlet panel 1 is inserted into the plug hole 31 of the fixing block 3 to cover and fix the plug connector 13; at the same time, the columnar connector 12 at the other end of the air outlet panel 1 is inserted into the positioning post 4 on the mounting plate 2 through the mounting hole 14 to complete the spraying and fixing of the air outlet panel 1, and the plug connector 13 is covered through the plug hole 31.

[0038] By tilting and setting parallel fixing blocks 3 and positioning posts 3 on the mounting plate 2 of the tooling, the positioning posts 3 cooperate with the mounting holes 14 on the columnar connector 12, and the plug holes 31 on the fixing blocks 3 cooperate with the plug connector 13. That is, both ends of the air outlet panel 1 are installed by the hole-post plug-in method. The installation and disassembly are convenient, the fixing is stable and reliable, and the plug connector 13 can be covered. The covering is reliable. Compared with the existing tape covering method, it is more efficient and can be sprayed in small batches, thus improving the spraying efficiency of the air outlet panel 1.

[0039] Specifically, the mounting plate 2 is a frame structure, and the mounting plate 2 includes a first connecting plate 21, a second connecting plate 22 and multiple fixing plates 23;

[0040] One end of the fixing plate 23 is vertically connected to the first connecting plate 21, and the other end is vertically connected to the second connecting plate 22. The fixing block 3 and the positioning post 4 are fixed on the fixing plate 23, and the fixing plates 23 are distributed in parallel.

[0041] The fixing plate 23 includes a first side fixing plate 24, a second side fixing plate 25, and an intermediate fixing plate 26. There are multiple intermediate fixing plates 26, and each intermediate fixing plate 26 is distributed between the first side fixing plate 24 and the second side fixing plate 25, with each intermediate fixing plate 26 being equally spaced.

[0042] In a preferred embodiment, the first side fixing plate 24 is provided with a first snap-fit ​​end 27 at the end away from the middle fixing plate 26, and the second side fixing plate 25 is provided with a second snap-fit ​​end 28 at the end away from the middle fixing plate 26; the first snap-fit ​​end 27 and the second snap-fit ​​end 28 are located on both sides of the mounting plate 2, and the shapes of the first snap-fit ​​end 27 and the second snap-fit ​​end 28 are matched.

[0043] The first and second fixing plates on both sides of the mounting plate are provided with a first snap-fit ​​end and a second snap-fit ​​end that cooperate with each other. Multiple mounting plates can be spliced ​​together for use. The specifications of the mounting plates can be flexibly adjusted according to the number of panels to be sprayed, making it flexible to use and easy to install and adjust.

[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the intermediate fixing plate 26 has a stepped structure. One end of the intermediate fixing plate 26 is provided with a strip-shaped leakage groove 29. One end of the fixing block 3 and the positioning column 4 are respectively fixed in the leakage groove 29. The leakage groove 29 is parallel to the intermediate fixing plate 26.

[0045] By setting a drain groove 29 on the fixing plate 26 for fixing the positioning column 4 and the fixing block 3, excess paint can be collected through the drain groove 29 when the air outlet panel is sprayed in batches, which facilitates the collection of paint.

[0046] Specifically, the fixing blocks 3 or positioning posts 4 are distributed along the direction of the first connecting plate 21 on each fixing plate 23, and the fixing blocks 3 and positioning posts 4 fixed on the same fixing plate 23 are alternately distributed. The fixing blocks 3 and positioning posts 4 fixed on the same fixing plate 23 are distributed at equal intervals.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the air outlet panel 1 includes two plug connectors 13, which are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the column connector 12; the two adjacent rows of fixing blocks 3 and positioning posts 4 on the three adjacent fixing plates 23 constitute a fixing unit 5, and the air outlet panel 1 can be detachably fixed in the fixing unit 5.

[0048] Optionally, the end of the positioning post 4 furthest from the mounting plate 2 is provided with a hemispherical end, the hemispherical end being made of rubber. The plug hole 31 on the fixing block 3 has a rectangular cross-section, and all four ends of the opening of the plug hole 31 are rounded.

[0049] By providing a hemispherical end to the upper end of the positioning post 4, it is easy for the positioning post 4 to mate with the mounting hole 14 on the columnar connector 12. The rectangular cross-section of the plug hole 31 ensures that the plug connector 13 is completely covered and shielded, and the rounded corner at the upper end of the plug hole 31 also facilitates the mating of the plug connector 13 with the plug hole 31 on the fixing block 3, thereby improving the fixing and shielding efficiency of the air outlet panel 1. The semi-circular end made of rubber provides protection, ensuring reliable and safe fixing.

[0050] The preferred embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above. It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make numerous modifications and variations based on the concept of this utility model without creative effort. Therefore, all technical solutions that can be obtained by those skilled in the art based on the concept of this utility model through logical analysis, reasoning, or limited experimentation on the basis of existing technology should be within the scope of protection defined by the claims.
