Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automotive inspection technology, specifically to a self-assembling adjustable spacing light corridor. Background Technology

[0002] Audit is the Chinese transliteration of "AUDIT," and it's commonly used in the automotive industry. An Audit review is an activity where professionally trained reviewers independently evaluate the quality of already-confirmed products from the user's perspective, following the unified quality evaluation standards established by the Volkswagen Group's Quality Assurance Department. They conduct random sampling quality assessments. An Audit review is not a re-inspection of qualified products; rather, it evaluates the product's quality status and trends based on the evaluation criteria, using the quality level and score of product defects, and provides information on potential improvements.

[0003] During car evaluation, the car's surface is illuminated by surrounding lighting corridors. The evaluator observes the illuminated areas of the car's surface from different angles and combines the reflection of the light onto the receiving device to score the car using the Auditer rating.

[0004] However, the lamp holders of the existing Auditer inspection lamp corridors are not easy to adjust, which makes it difficult to adjust the angle or intensity of the light shining on the car surface, greatly reducing the inspection effect of the lamp corridors. Summary of the Invention

[0005] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0006] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention provides a self-assembling adjustable spacing light corridor, which solves the problem of significantly reduced detection effectiveness caused by the inconvenience of adjusting the light fixtures in the light corridor.

[0007] (II) Technical Solution

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a self-assembling adjustable-spacing light corridor, comprising a side light corridor assembly, an inclined light corridor assembly, and a top light corridor assembly. Each of the side light corridor assembly, the inclined light corridor assembly, and the top light corridor assembly consists of a first slide rail, a second slide rail, and an adjustable light frame. The first slide rail and the second slide rail are each provided with a sliding groove. Several sliding blocks are slidably connected inside the sliding groove. The front sidewall of each sliding block is fixedly connected to an adjustable light frame.

[0009] The adjustable lamp holder has a limiting groove inside the front side wall, and the lamp plate body is movably connected inside the limiting groove. A fixed frame is rotatably connected inside the front side wall of the adjustable lamp holder, and the fixed frame cooperates with the limiting groove.

[0010] The lower sidewall of each sliding groove is provided with a bottom sliding groove, which penetrates the lower sidewall of the first or second slide rail. Each sliding block has two fastening screws fixedly connected to its lower sidewall, and the lower end of each fastening screw is threaded with a fixing nut.

[0011] Inside the side light corridor assembly, each adjustable light fixture has two connecting blocks fixedly connected to its lower side wall. Each connecting block has a support base rotatably connected to its lower side wall. The upper side wall of the support base is threaded with an adjusting rod, and the outer side wall of the support base is fixedly connected with several support legs.

[0012] Preferably, the side light corridor assembly, the inclined light corridor assembly, and the top light corridor assembly are fixed to the connecting frame via the first slide rail and the second slide rail. The connecting frame is fixedly connected to the ceiling, the ground, or the wall. The connecting frame is configured as either a hanger or a cable tray, which can effectively improve installation efficiency and facilitate the adjustment of the number of light corridor assemblies.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting groove is provided with a lock hole, and the fixing frame is fixedly connected with a fixing lock. The fixing lock is aligned with the lock hole to facilitate the insertion of the fixing lock into the lock hole. The fixing lock cooperates with the lock hole, and the fixing frame is fixed in the limiting groove by the fixing lock and the lock hole, thereby fixing the lamp panel body.

[0014] Preferably, the fastening screw slides inside the bottom slide groove, and an elastic pad is provided on the outside of the fastening screw. The elastic pad is located between the fixing nut and the bottom slide groove. The elastic pad prevents the fixing nut from scratching the bottom of the first slide rail or the second slide rail and can reduce the loosening of the fixing nut. The distance between the relative vertices of the fixing nut is 5mm longer than the width of the bottom slide groove, which can effectively prevent the fixing nut from sliding into the bottom slide groove.

[0015] Preferably, one end of both the first and second slide rails is movably connected to a fixing block. The fixing block cooperates with the sliding groove to facilitate the adjustment of the number of adjustable lamp holders on each set of slide rails, thereby improving the applicability of the device. The fixing block is made of elastic silicone, which facilitates installation and fixation.

[0016] Preferably, each of the fixing frames has several partitions fixedly connected inside to facilitate the fixing of light panel bodies of different sizes. The fixing frames and partitions are made of aluminum alloy to reduce the weight of the fixing frames. The number of light panel bodies inside each adjustable light frame is set to 1 to 4, so that different light intensity can be emitted from one adjustable light frame. The light panel bodies and the adjustable light frame are limited by the fixing frames and partitions.

[0017] Preferably, the upper end of the adjusting rod is rotatably connected to the connecting block, which facilitates the adjustment of the exposed length of the connecting rod and thus the support of the support base. Each support leg is fixedly connected to a support pad at its lower end to improve the stability of the support base. The support pad is made of elastic rubber material, and the lower side wall of the support pad is provided with anti-slip texture to improve the friction between the device and the ground.

[0018] Preferably, the rear sidewall of each adjustable lamp holder is hollow, and the rear sidewall of the lamp panel body is in direct contact with the air, which avoids hindering the heat dissipation of the lamp panel body and can effectively improve the heat dissipation effect of the lamp panel body.

[0019] Working principle: First, the side light corridor assembly 1, the inclined light corridor assembly 2, and the top light corridor assembly 3 are fixed to the ceiling, floor, or wall via connecting brackets, thereby adjusting the illumination range of the light corridor. Then, the number of adjustable light holders 6 in each side light corridor assembly 1, inclined light corridor assembly 2, and top light corridor assembly 3 is adjusted. The fixing block 502 is inserted into the first slide rail 4 or the second slide rail 5 to restrict the sliding of the adjustable light holder 6. Next, the position of each adjustable light holder 6 is adjusted. The fastening screw 5031 can be locked by the fixing nut 5032, thereby fixing the sliding block 503 to the first slide rail 4 or the second slide rail 5 and fixing the position of the adjustable light holder 6. Finally, the light panel body 8 is placed in the limiting groove 602, and the light panel body 8 is restricted by the fixing bracket 601. The fixing bracket 601 and the adjustable light holder 6 are fixed by the fixing lock 6011 and the lock hole 602.
