[0017] For example, see below. Figures 1 to 4As shown, an auxiliary tooling for assembling an automotive dashboard bracket includes two side support frames 11. Multiple transverse support beams are fixed between the lower parts of the two side support frames 11. A horizontal rotating support plate 12 is provided above the two side support frames 11. A right connecting frame 13 is fixed on the right side wall of the horizontal rotating support plate 12. The connecting shaft of the right connecting frame 13 is movably connected to a bearing seat fixed on the top plate of the right side support frame 11 via a bearing. A left connecting frame 14 is fixed on the left side wall of the horizontal rotating support plate 12. The connecting shaft of the left connecting frame 14 is movably connected to a bearing seat fixed on the top plate of the left side support frame 11 via a bearing. A manual rotating wheel 15 is fixed on the connecting shaft of the left connecting frame 14.

[0018] The car dashboard bracket 100 to be processed is fixed on the top surface of the horizontal rotating support plate 12;

[0019] A vertical fixing plate 16 is fixed to the left side wall of the top plate of the left side support frame 11. A central through hole 161 is formed in the middle of the vertical fixing plate 16. A fixing block 17 is fixed to the left side wall of the vertical fixing plate 16 by bolts. A circular hole 171 extending to the left is formed in the middle of the right side wall of the fixing block 17. A circular block 18 is inserted into the circular hole 171. A spline groove is formed on the outer side wall of the circular block 18. The outer side of the circular block 18 is in close contact with the inner side wall of the circular hole 171. In conjunction with this, the left end of the connecting shaft of the left connecting bracket 14 is inserted into the central through hole of the circular block 18 and connected by a key. The top surface of the corresponding fixing block 17 at the center of the top of the circular block 18 is formed with a downwardly extending transverse guide groove 172. The bottom end of the transverse guide groove 172 communicates with the top of the circular hole 171. The lower part of the toggle lever 19 is inserted into the transverse guide groove 172. The front and rear side walls of the lower part of the toggle lever 19 are close to the front or rear side wall of the transverse guide groove 172.

[0020] Furthermore, the vertical fixing plate 16 is fitted with an outer shell 20. The inner side wall of the right end of the side plate of the outer shell 20 is close to the outer side wall of the vertical fixing plate 16 and is fixedly connected by bolts. The top of the side plate of the outer shell 20 is formed with a waist-shaped through groove 21 extending to the left and right. The middle part of the toggle rod 19 is inserted into the waist-shaped through groove 21 and cooperates with the waist-shaped through groove 21, and its top extends out of the top of the waist-shaped through groove 21.

[0021] Furthermore, an inner groove is formed on the left side wall of the transverse guide groove 172, the permanent magnet block 1 is nested in the inner groove and bonded and fixed, and the toggle rod 19 cooperates with and corresponds to the permanent magnet block 1.

[0022] When using the above structure, the lever 19 is moved to the left, pressing it against the permanent magnet block 1 and attracting it, so that its bottom is no longer in the corresponding slot of the spline groove. The manual rotating wheel 15 can be manually held and rotated to change the position of the car dashboard bracket 100 on it, so that the area to be processed is in a convenient position for operation. Then, the lever 19 is moved to the right. When moving, if the lower part of the lever 19 cannot be inserted into the corresponding slot of the spline groove, the manual rotating wheel 15 can be rotated slightly to ensure that the corresponding slot of the spline groove corresponds to the lower part of the lever 19, so that the lower part of the lever 19 can be inserted into the slot to achieve positioning. The lower outer wall of the lever 19 is in close contact with the inner wall of the corresponding slot to prevent the lever 19 from slipping laterally. Of course, a permanent magnet block can also be fixed at the bottom of the lever 19, so that after it is inserted into the corresponding slot, it is fixed by the permanent magnet to prevent it from moving and achieve locking.

[0023] Furthermore, the right side of the front sidewall of the horizontal rotating support plate 12 is formed with a rearwardly extending groove 121, and the middle of the left side of the horizontal rotating support plate 12 is formed with a central through groove 122. The driver's seat instrument panel mounting part of the car instrument panel bracket 100 to be processed is inserted into the rear groove 121.

[0024] Furthermore, vertical support blocks 123 are fixed on the top surface of the middle of the left and right sides of the horizontal rotating support plate 12. The upper part of the vertical support block 123 is movably connected to the roller 124 through the bearing. The left and right walls of the car dashboard bracket 100 are close to the outer walls of the corresponding roller 124.

[0025] Furthermore, two vertical support columns 30 are fixed on the top surface of the middle of the left and right sides of the horizontal rotating support plate 12. The bottom surfaces of the left and right sides of the car dashboard bracket 100 press against the top surfaces of the corresponding vertical support columns 30. The protrusions 31 formed in the middle of the top surfaces of some vertical support columns 30 are inserted into the corresponding mounting through holes on the left or right sides of the car dashboard bracket 100.

[0026] The left and right sides of the car dashboard bracket 100 are supported by the vertical support column 30, and the car dashboard bracket 100 is positioned by the protrusion 31 being inserted into the corresponding mounting through hole on the left or right side of the car dashboard bracket 100.

[0027] Furthermore, the top surfaces of the horizontal rotating support plates 12 at the rear of the left and right sides of the car dashboard bracket 100 are each fixed with a rear support block 40. The upper part of the front wall of the rear support block 40 is an inclined wall, which is a wall that extends obliquely backward and upward. The rear walls of the left and right sides of the car dashboard bracket 100 press against the corresponding inclined walls of the rear support block 40.

[0028] Rotary clamping cylinders 50 are fixed on the top surface of the horizontal rotating support plate 12 at the front of the rear support block 40 or on one side of the horizontal rotating support plate 12. The left rotary clamping cylinder 50 is located on the left side of the left rear support block 40, and the right rotary clamping cylinder 50 is located in front of the right rear support block 40 and in front of the right side of the car dashboard bracket 100. The bottom surface of the clamping block 51 fixed at the end of the rotating arm of the rotary clamping cylinder 50 presses against the top surface of the protrusion formed on the top surface of the left or right side of the car dashboard bracket 100.

[0029] The above structure allows the car dashboard bracket 100 to be positioned and supported by the rollers 124, the rear support block 40, and the vertical support column 30 during use. Then, by rotating the clamping cylinder 50, the bottom surface of the clamping block 51 fixed at the end of the rotating arm of the clamping cylinder 50 presses against the top surface of the protrusion formed on the top surface of the left or right side of the car dashboard bracket 100, thereby clamping and fixing the car dashboard bracket 100 firmly and facilitating the subsequent installation of other accessories.

[0030] Finally, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present utility model. Therefore, all equivalent technical solutions also fall within the scope of the present utility model, and the patent protection scope of the present utility model should be defined by the claims.
