Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of new energy vehicles, and in particular to a checking fixture for a charging port cover of a new energy vehicle. Background Art

[0002] At present, with the rapid development of domestic new energy electric vehicles, charging ports have been added to vehicles. Most charging ports are arranged on the front bumper or the side of the vehicle body to facilitate layout and charging. In the actual manufacturing of vehicles, for vehicle lightweighting, during the product design and development process, most of the charging port cover assemblies are made of plastic materials. Due to reasons such as the manufacturing process and assembly errors of product components, defects in assembly appearance or function may occur.

[0003] In addition, there are also some checking tools for charging port covers on the market. For example, a Chinese utility model with the patent publication number "CN207095450U" and the name "Checking Fixture for Charging Port Cover" includes: a checking fixture body and a plurality of fixing columns. Detection holes are provided on the checking fixture body; a plurality of the fixing columns are arranged on the checking fixture body, and the plurality of fixing columns respectively correspond one by one to a plurality of vehicle body connection parts on the charging port cover. Each fixing column is fixed to the corresponding vehicle body connection part through a threaded fastener, so as to position the charging port cover in the detection holes. This technology uses 4 self-tapping screws for connection and installation on the back, and the flatness and installation accuracy of the installation are directly related to the detection accuracy. In addition, any charging port cover detection requires independent installation and disassembly, and its detection efficiency is extremely low.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need to propose a checking fixture for a charging port cover of a new energy vehicle with a simple structure, convenient installation, and accurate and reliable detection. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Since the charging port cover is a movable functional part, without a checking fixture for detection during the whole vehicle production process, due to errors caused by component manufacturing and sub-assembly of components, a series of situations such as large gaps and surface differences on the whole vehicle and the charging port cover being unable to close may occur. In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a checking fixture for a charging port cover of a new energy vehicle. The technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0009] Further, an opening arc part matching the upper part of the workpiece assembly of the charging port cover is arranged on the inner side of the surface detection block.

[0010] Furthermore, a workpiece fixing bolt is arranged between the charging port cover assembly simulation fixing block and the workpiece assembly of the charging port cover.

[0011] Further, a pair of buffer pad assembly position simulation blocks are arranged on the inner side of the body surface difference simulation block.

[0012] Preferably, the buffer pad assembly position simulation blocks are arranged along the direction perpendicular to the locking and fixing simulation pin.

[0013] Further, a handling handle is arranged on the fixture base plate.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0015] (1) By setting the charging port cover assembly simulation fixing block to simulate the installation state of the workpiece assembly of the charging port cover, and using the body surface difference simulation block, the buffer pad assembly position simulation block and the locking and fixing simulation pin to simulate the position of the body and the workpiece assembly of the charging port cover after the workpiece assembly of the charging port cover is closed or opened, so as to facilitate the measurement of its installation or its own error;

[0016] (2) The present invention realizes the surface profile detection of the charging port cover workpiece assembly in the closed state by setting up a surface profile detection mechanism, so as to ensure its reliable closing and installation.

[0017] (3) The present invention uses reference positioning to check and simulate the vehicle coordinates, and uses a surface difference gauge and a go / no-go gauge to detect the clearance and surface difference of parts.

[0018] (4) The surface profile detection mechanism of the present invention adopts a surface profile detection support seat and a surface profile detection block connected by an axis, and uses a locking limit knob of the surface profile detection block for locking, and its operation is simple and reliable.

[0019] In summary, the present invention has the advantages of simple structure, convenient installation, accurate and reliable detection, etc., and has high practical value and promotion value in the technical field of new energy vehicles. Brief Description of the Drawings
