Currently, the matching between the instrument panel crossbeam positioning pin and the body side panel bracket is a line-surface contact. During the assembly process, the Z-axis will rotate up and down and wobble, causing the front end slot of the instrument panel to not be accurately engaged with the body sheet metal. This increases the difficulty of assembly operations, increases the assembly time at the work station, and reduces the production line capacity. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate are fixedly connected, and the upper groove and the lower groove are symmetrically arranged to form a limiting groove;

[0008] The cross-sectional dimensions of the limiting groove are the same as the maximum cross-sectional dimensions of the positioning pin.

[0009] Preferably, the positioning pin includes a guide portion, a limiting portion, and a mounting plate. The two ends of the limiting portion are respectively connected to the mounting plate and the guide portion. The cross-section of the guide portion is narrower at the front and wider at the back, and the cross-sectional dimensions of the limiting portion are the same.

[0010] Preferably, the first horizontal plate and the second horizontal plate are fixedly connected, and the first vertical plate and the second vertical plate are respectively fixedly connected to the front panel.
