Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of vehicle inspection tool technology, and in particular to a vehicle instrument panel cover inspection tool. Background Technology

[0002] The areas requiring inspection for the vehicle instrument panel assembly include the product perimeter and mounting holes. The instrument panel assembly has a curved perimeter that is continuous end-to-end, while the mounting holes are located on the back or side of the assembly. Due to the strict requirements for fit clearance and surface finish on the curved edges of the instrument panel assembly, and its high aesthetic standards, precise inspection of the contour dimensions of the mounting surfaces around the assembly is necessary. Furthermore, the mounting holes on the inner side of the instrument panel assembly have precise positioning requirements to ensure that the overall quality of the instrument panel assembly meets the required standards.

[0003] Measuring the peripheral contour dimensions of the instrument panel assembly using existing measuring tools (such as vernier calipers, steel rulers, and micrometers) is not only time-consuming, but also prone to significant errors and low reliability due to inconsistent measurement positions by different personnel, thus affecting product quality assessment. Furthermore, the large production volume of the instrument panel assembly means that relying solely on existing measuring instruments cannot complete the testing in a timely manner, impacting product delivery.

[0004] Therefore, a new solution is needed to address the aforementioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The following specific examples illustrate the implementation of this utility model. Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. This utility model can also be implemented or applied through other different specific embodiments. Various details in this specification can also be modified or changed based on different viewpoints and applications without departing from the spirit of this utility model. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0021] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in the following embodiments are only schematic representations of the basic concept of the present invention. The drawings only show the components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the actual number, shape and size of the components. In actual implementation, the form, quantity and proportion of each component can be arbitrarily changed, and the layout of the components may also be more complex.

[0022] In the following description, numerous details are explored to provide a more thorough explanation of embodiments of the present invention. However, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that embodiments of the present invention may be practiced without these specific details. In other embodiments, well-known structures and devices are shown in block diagram form rather than in detail to avoid obscuring embodiments of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 4 The vehicle instrument panel cover inspection tool provided in one embodiment of the present invention includes a base 100, on which a working platform 101 is provided, and a limiting mechanism, a positioning component 200, a surface inspection mechanism and a hole inspection component 300 are installed on the working platform 101.

[0024] The limiting mechanism is used to limit the instrument cover 400 on the working platform 101 for initial positioning of the instrument cover 400. The positioning component 200 is used to position the instrument cover 400 on the working platform 101 to completely position the instrument cover 400 on the working platform 101, so as to avoid displacement of the instrument cover 400 during subsequent testing, which would affect the testing of the instrument cover 400 and thus improve the accuracy of the instrument cover 400 testing.

[0025] The instrument cover 400 has areas for mounting central control components, areas for mounting ventilation grilles, and areas for mounting instruments. To ensure that the central control components, ventilation grilles, and instruments can be mounted on the instrument cover 400, the central control mounting surface 401 for mounting the central control components, the grille mounting surface 402 for mounting the ventilation grilles, and the instrument mounting surface 403 for mounting the instruments need to be inspected. The central control component inspection assembly 500 of the surface inspection mechanism is used to inspect the central control mounting surface 401 of the instrument cover 400 for mounting the central control components; the grille inspection assembly 600 is used to inspect the grille mounting surface 402 of the instrument cover 400 for mounting the ventilation grilles; and the instrument inspection assembly 700 is used to inspect the instrument mounting surface 403 of the instrument cover 400 for mounting the instruments.

[0026] Furthermore, when installing the instrument panel cover 400 into the vehicle cabin, the instrument panel cover 400 needs to be matched and installed with other structural components in the cabin. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect the parts of the instrument panel cover 400 that match other structural components. The side profile inspection component 800 of the surface inspection mechanism is used to inspect the side profile 404 of the instrument panel cover 400 to be tested, which is a partial sidewall of the instrument panel cover 400; the lower profile inspection component 900 is used to inspect the lower profile 405 of the instrument panel cover 400 to be tested, which is a partial lower surface of the instrument panel cover 400.

[0027] During the installation of the instrument panel cover 400 with the central control unit and other structural components in the cockpit, some holes on the instrument panel cover 400 need to be aligned or avoided. Therefore, it is necessary to inspect these holes on the instrument panel cover 400. This can be done using a hole inspection assembly 300 to inspect the hole 406 on the instrument panel cover 400. Specifically, it is necessary to inspect the size of the hole 406 and its position on the instrument panel cover 400.

[0028] It should be noted that during the process of limiting and positioning the instrument cover 400 through the limiting mechanism and positioning component 200, the surface detection mechanism and hole detection component 300 simultaneously detect the instrument cover 400, shortening the detection time and improving the detection efficiency. Furthermore, by setting up the surface detection mechanism and hole detection component 300, the detection steps of the instrument cover 400 are simplified, thereby improving the detection efficiency and accuracy.

[0029] Furthermore, during the positioning process of the instrument cover 400, if the instrument cover 400 cannot match the limiting mechanism or positioning component 200, the instrument cover 400 is deemed unqualified, and the instrument cover 400 will no longer be inspected by the surface inspection mechanism and hole inspection component 300, thereby achieving rapid inspection of the instrument cover 400.

[0030] In one example, the base 100 consists of a work platform 101 and a support 102 welded below the work platform 101.

[0031] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism includes a first limiting component 1100, which includes a fourth support 1101, a clamp 1102, and a first driving member 1103. The fourth support 1101 is mounted on the working platform 101 of the base 100, and multiple fourth supports 1101 are arranged circumferentially along the instrument cover 400. Each fourth support 1101 has a clamp 1102 connected to its side facing the instrument cover 400. The first driving member 1103 drives the opening and closing of the clamp 1102. When the instrument cover 400 is engaged with the limiting mechanism, the first driving member 1103 closes the clamp 1102 and inserts the support leg 407 of the instrument cover 400 into the clamp 1102 to limit the instrument cover 400.

[0032] It should be noted that after the instrument cover 400 has completed the inspection, the first driving component 1103 opens the clamp 1102 so that the support legs 407 of the instrument cover 400 can be removed from the clamp 1102. Furthermore, the number of fourth supports 1101 is adaptively set according to the number of support legs 407 on the instrument cover 400.

[0033] In one example, a first drive member 1103 can simultaneously control the opening and closing of all clips 1102, or it can simultaneously control the opening and closing of some clips 1102. For example, the first drive member 1103 can be configured as a pull cord switch, etc.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism includes a second limiting component 1200, which includes a fifth support 1201 and a locking pin 1202. The fifth support 1201 is mounted on the work platform 101, and multiple fifth supports 1201 are provided and distributed circumferentially along the instrument cover 400. A first limiting hole 12011 is provided on the fifth support 1201, with the opening of the first limiting hole 12011 facing the instrument cover 400. When the instrument cover 400 is engaged with the limiting mechanism, in order to limit the instrument cover 400, the locking pin 1202 is inserted into the first limiting hole 12011 of the fifth support 1201 through a second limiting hole 408 in the instrument cover 400. It should be noted that the number of first limiting holes 12011 is adaptively set according to the number of second limiting holes 408 provided on the instrument cover 400.

[0035] Specifically, a locking pin 1202 is configured for each first limiting hole 12011 to limit the instrument surface cover 400.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 5 In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism further includes a third limiting component 1300. The third limiting component 1300 includes a sixth support 1301 mounted on the work platform 101. Multiple sixth supports 1301 are provided and spaced apart along the length of the instrument cover 400, and each sixth support 1301 is provided with a first insert 13011. When the instrument cover 400 is engaged with the limiting mechanism, the first insert 13011 can be inserted into the limiting slot 409 of the instrument cover 400 to limit the instrument cover 400. It should be noted that the number of first inserts 13011 is adaptively set according to the number of limiting slots 409 provided on the instrument cover 400.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 In some embodiments, the limiting mechanism further includes a fourth limiting component 1400, which includes a third detection element 1401. Multiple third detection elements 1401 are provided and spaced apart along the length of the instrument cover 400, and each third detection element 1401 has a detection slot 14011 on its side facing the instrument cover 400. When the instrument cover 400 is engaged with the limiting mechanism, the second insert 410 of the instrument cover 400 can be inserted into the detection slot 14011 of the third detection element 1401. It should be noted that the number of detection slots 14011 is adaptively set according to the number of second inserts 410 provided on the instrument cover 400.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 4 In one example, the third limiting component 1300 and the fourth limiting component 1400 are located on both sides of the instrument cover 400 in the width direction, respectively. Of course, the third limiting component 1300 and the fourth limiting component 1400 can also be located at other positions on the instrument cover 400, specifically adapted to the position of the limiting slot 409 and the second insert 410 of the instrument cover 400.

[0039] For example, the gaps between the third limiting component 1300 and the fourth limiting component 1400 and the instrument cover 400 are smaller than the gaps between the first limiting component 1100 and the second limiting component 1200 and the instrument cover 400, so that the limiting mechanism also plays a certain detection role in the process of limiting the instrument cover 400.

[0040] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the positioning component 200 includes a seventh support 201 and a positioning pin 202. The seventh support 201 is mounted on the work platform 101, and a first positioning hole 2011 is provided on the side of the seventh support 201 facing the instrument cover 400. When the instrument cover 400 is engaged with the limiting mechanism, the positioning pin 202 can pass through the second positioning hole 411 of the instrument cover 400 and be inserted into the first positioning hole 2011 of the seventh support 201 to position the instrument cover 400 on the gauge. It should be noted that, in order to avoid over-positioning of the instrument cover 400, only one seventh support 201 is provided, and only one first positioning hole 2011 is provided on the seventh support 201.

[0041] In one example, the first positioning hole 2011 and the first limiting hole 12011 can share the same support, that is, the seventh support 201 can be one of the fifth supports 1201.

[0042] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 7In some embodiments, the lower surface inspection assembly 900 includes a first support 901 and a first inspection element 902. The first support 901 is mounted on the work platform 101, and multiple first supports 901 are arranged circumferentially along the instrument cover 400. The first inspection element 902 is mounted on the first support 901, and a first inspection surface 9021 is provided on the side of the first inspection element 902 facing the lower surface 405 to be inspected on the instrument cover 400. After the instrument cover 400 is positioned on the fixture, the first inspection surface 9021 of the first inspection element 902 is positioned opposite to the lower surface 405 to be inspected on the instrument cover 400 with a certain gap. The size of the gap between the first inspection surface 9021 and the lower surface 405 to be inspected can be detected using measuring tools such as a gap gauge or tolerance gauge, thereby determining whether the lower surface 405 to be inspected on the instrument cover 400 is qualified.

[0043] In one example, depending on the position of the lower surface 405 to be tested and the setting space of the first detection element 902 and the first support 901 on the working platform 101, the first detection element 902 can be integrally formed with the first support 901, or it can be installed on the first support 901 by means of screw connection or other methods.

[0044] Please see Figure 6 For example, the third detection element 1401 is mounted on the side of the first detection element 902 facing the instrument surface cover 400.

[0045] Please see Figure 8 In some embodiments, the side profile inspection assembly 800 includes a second support 801, a flipping component 802, and a second inspection element 803. The second support 801 is mounted on the work platform 101, and the flipping component 802 is mounted on the top of the second support 801. The movable end of the flipping component 802 is connected to the second inspection element 803, which has a second inspection surface 8031. After the instrument cover 400 is positioned on the fixture, the flipping component 802 moves the second inspection element 803 to one side of the side profile 404 of the instrument cover 400 to be inspected, so that the second inspection surface 8031 ​​of the second inspection element 803 is positioned opposite to the side profile 404 of the instrument cover 400 with a certain gap between them. The size of the gap between the second inspection surface 8031 ​​and the side profile 404 can be detected using measuring tools such as a gap gauge or tolerance gauge, thereby determining whether the side profile 404 of the instrument cover 400 is qualified.

[0046] In one example, the flipping component 802 includes a connecting seat 8021, a rotating shaft 8022, a rotating member 8023, a knob 8024, and an elastic member 8025. The connecting seat 8021 is mounted on a second support 801. The rotating member 8023 is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 8021 via the rotating shaft 8022, and a second detection member 803 is connected to the end of the rotating member 8023 away from the rotating shaft 8022. The knob 8024 is mounted on the rotating member 8023. When the flipping component 802 moves the second detection component 803 to one side of the test surface 404 of the instrument cover 400, the knob 8024 is rotated so that the limiting boss 80241 of the knob 8024 engages with the limiting groove 80211 on the connecting seat 8021. This fixes the relative position of the rotating component 8023 and the connecting seat 8021, preventing the second detection component 803 from shifting during the detection of the test surface 404 of the instrument cover 400, thus improving the detection accuracy of the instrument cover 400. It should be noted that, in order to keep the limiting boss 80241 located within the limiting groove 80211, an elastic component 8025 is sleeved on the knob 8024, and the elastic component 8025 is located between the limiting boss 80241 and the connecting seat 8021.

[0047] For example, the elastic element 8025 may include, but is not limited to, being configured as a spring.

[0048] Please see Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some embodiments, the hole detection assembly 300 includes a third support 301 and a detection pin 302. The third support 301 is mounted on the work platform 101, and multiple third supports 301 are provided, distributed circumferentially along the instrument cover 400. A first detection hole 3011 is provided on the side of the third support 301 facing the instrument cover 400. After the instrument cover 400 is positioned on the fixture, the detection pin 302 is inserted into the first detection hole 3011 through the hole to be tested 406 of the instrument cover 400. If the detection pin 302 can pass through the hole to be tested 406 and be inserted into the first detection hole 3011, the size and position of the hole to be tested 406 of the instrument cover 400 are qualified; if the detection pin 302 cannot pass through the hole to be tested 406 and be inserted into the first detection hole 3011, the size or position of the hole to be tested 406 of the instrument cover 400 is unqualified.

[0049] It should be noted that the same testing pin 302 can be used to test holes 406 of the same size, which helps to reduce the cost of the inspection tool.

[0050] In one example, a portion of the first detection hole 3011 and the first limiting hole 12011 may share a support, which may be a fifth support 1201 or a third support 301.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 9 In some embodiments, the central control detection component 500 includes an eighth support 501 and a fourth detection element 502. The eighth support 501 is mounted on the work platform 101, and the fourth detection element 502 is detachably connected to the eighth support 501. After the instrument cover 400 is positioned on the fixture, the fourth detection element 502 is connected to the eighth support 501. The fourth detection element 502 is located in the central control mounting hole on the instrument cover 400 where the central control component is mounted. The central control mounting surface 401 is the inner sidewall of the central control mounting hole on the instrument cover 400, so that the circumferential sidewall of the fourth detection element 502 is opposite to the central control mounting surface 401, and there is a certain gap between them. The size of the gap between the circumferential sidewall of the fourth detection element 502 and the central control mounting surface 401 can be detected by measuring tools such as a gap gauge or a tolerance gauge, thereby determining whether the central control mounting surface 401 of the instrument cover 400 is qualified.

[0052] In one example, a station for placing the fourth inspection piece 502 is provided on the work platform 101 to facilitate the handling of the fourth inspection piece 502.

After the instrument cover 400 is positioned on the fixture, the seventh detection element 602 is located within the grid mounting hole on the instrument cover 400 where the ventilation grid is installed. The grid mounting surface 402 is the inner sidewall of the grid mounting hole on the instrument cover 400, so that the circumferential sidewall of the seventh detection element 602 is positioned opposite to the grid mounting surface 402 with a certain gap. The size of the gap between the circumferential sidewall of the seventh detection element 602 and the grid mounting surface 402 can be detected using measuring tools such as a gap gauge or tolerance gauge, thereby determining whether the grid mounting surface 402 of the instrument cover 400 is qualified.

The tenth support 1601 and the twelfth detection block 1603 are both mounted on the work platform 101, and the eleventh detection block 1602 is mounted on the side of the tenth support 1601 facing the instrument panel cover 400. Both the eleventh detection block 1602 and the twelfth detection block 1603 are provided with a second detection hole 1604, which is used to detect the distance between two adjacent rubber mounting posts 412 on the instrument panel cover 400.

[0059] For example, the tenth support 1601 and the twelfth detection block 1603 are spaced apart along the length of the instrument surface cover 400.

[0060] In summary, the vehicle instrument panel cover inspection fixture proposed in this utility model positions the instrument panel cover to be inspected on the working platform of the base by setting a limiting mechanism and a positioning component. Since the working platform is also equipped with a surface inspection mechanism and a hole inspection component, the instrument panel cover cooperates with the surface inspection mechanism and the hole inspection component during the positioning process, enabling the surface inspection mechanism and the hole inspection component to inspect the instrument panel cover, shortening the instrument panel cover inspection time and improving the inspection efficiency. Furthermore, by setting the surface inspection mechanism and the hole inspection component, the steps of instrument panel cover inspection are simplified, thereby improving the inspection efficiency and accuracy of instrument panel cover inspection.
