Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of armored vehicle assembly and inspection, specifically a tool for detecting the verticality of cylindrical attachments on the outer surface of armored vehicles. Background Technology
[0002] To ensure strong ballistic protection for armored vehicles, composite armor is widely used in various types of armored vehicles. As the most effective protection for armored vehicles and drivers, improper installation of composite armor not only affects the appearance of the armored vehicle but also directly impacts its service life and the driver's safety. The perpendicularity of the cylindrical mounts on the outer surface of the armored vehicle plays a decisive role; poor perpendicularity leads to an angle between the composite armor and the vehicle body, resulting in inadequate fit and making the composite armor more vulnerable to penetration.
[0003] For welding cylindrical mounts onto the outer surface of the vehicle body, only visual inspection and a vertical measuring ruler can be used. Due to factors such as the weld seam, both of these methods suffer from inaccurate inspection and inconvenient measurement. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a tool for detecting the verticality of a cylindrical attachment on the outer surface of an armored vehicle, including a sleeve body, a clearance nut, a bottom support, and a fixing nut.
[0005] The sleeve body is a cylindrical structure with a connecting hole in the center.
[0006] A clearance nut is connected to one end of the sleeve body.
[0007] The gap nut is a regular prism structure with a fixing hole in the center.
[0008] The wall of the fixing hole is provided with thread I, and the channel of the fixing hole is connected to the channel of the connecting hole.
[0009] At the apex of the clearance nut, several through holes are formed around the fixing hole. The bottom support is a screw rod, one end of which passes through the through holes and is fixed by a fixing nut.
[0010] In use, the cylindrical mount is embedded in the fixing hole and connected with thread I.
[0011] Furthermore, the sleeve body is a stepped cylindrical structure, including cylindrical segment I and cylindrical segment II, which are connected by an arc segment.
[0012] Furthermore, the diameter of cylindrical segment I is smaller than the diameter of cylindrical segment II.
[0013] Furthermore, the cylindrical segment II is connected to the clearance nut.
[0014] Furthermore, the gap nut is a plate-shaped regular hexagonal prism.
[0015] Furthermore, the axis of the through hole is parallel to the axis of the fixing hole and parallel to the side edge of the clearance nut.
[0016] Furthermore, the thread I is adapted to the thread of the cylindrical attachment.
[0017] Furthermore, the length of the bottom support is adapted to the length of the cylindrical attachment.
[0018] Furthermore, the sleeve body is located at the center of the plate surface of the clearance nut.

[0037] The testing tool can be assembled onto the cylindrical support by hand or with a mechanical or electric wrench. During assembly, observe the distance between the bottom support 3 and the outer surface. Stop tightening when the bottom support 3 contacts the outer surface. The verticality of the cylindrical support can be judged by observing the contact between the bottom support 3 and the outer surface.

[0053] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of embodiments 1 to 9. Furthermore, the sleeve body 1 is located at the center of the plate surface of the clearance nut 2.
[0054] Example 11:
[0055] The main structure of this embodiment is the same as any one of embodiments 1 to 10. Further, see [link to embodiment 1]. Figure 1 , Figure 2 A tool for detecting the verticality of a cylindrical mount on the outer surface of an armored vehicle comprises a sleeve body 1, a hexagonal clearance nut 2, a bottom support 3, and a bottom support fixing nut 4, among other main components.
[0056] The threads 5 on the hexagonal clearance nut 2 engage with the cylindrical base to achieve a stable fastening; it is connected to an electric wrench through the electric wrench connection hole 6 to improve assembly and disassembly efficiency.
[0057] Before using the testing tool, select the appropriate hexagonal clearance nut 2 and the matching bottom support 3 according to the threads and length of the cylindrical attachment. Use the matching bottom support fixing nut 4 to assemble the 6 bottom supports 3 into the mounting holes of the hexagonal clearance nut 2 respectively.
[0058] After the preparation work is completed, connect the cylindrical attachment to the electric wrench via the electric wrench connection hole 6, or connect the mechanical wrench to the hexagonal clearance nut 2, so that the threads 5 on the hexagonal clearance nut engage with the cylindrical attachment. While tightening the testing tool, observe the distance between the bottom support 3 and the outer surface. Stop tightening when the bottom support 3 contacts the outer surface. The verticality of the cylindrical attachment can be judged by observing the state of the bottom support 3, which facilitates subsequent changes and adjustments. The same method can be used to ensure the verticality of the cylindrical attachment during welding.
[0059] Example 12:
