Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of size detection, in particular to a rear subframe opening size detection mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] The rear subframe is a part of the automobile chassis, mainly providing structural support, and also plays an important role in reducing vibration and noise, improving assembly efficiency, and improving the safety and comfort of the vehicle. The rear subframe of the automobile is a support for supporting the front and rear axles and the suspension. The opening on the rear subframe is an important installation feature for connecting the suspension. If the opening size is too small, the connecting rod cannot be installed. If the opening size is too large, it cannot meet the design requirements and there is a risk of failure. Therefore, the processing size of the opening needs to be detected.

[0003] As shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 , the existing opening size detection mechanism: adopts the traditional go-no-go gauge mode. When detecting the opening, whether the go-no-go gauge can pass or stop is used to judge whether the product is qualified. Such detection method has the risk of go-no-go gauge clamping product in the case of product opening size limit or out-of-tolerance, which causes the detection tool to run smoothly and triggers the alarm to interrupt the detection; even causes damage to the product, and the traditional structure cannot realize the function of quantifying the detection data.

The first spring is connected between the two first detection blocks and drives the two first detection blocks to move away from each other. The second driving member is connected with the connecting piece and drives the connecting piece to move left and right. The displacement sensor is connected to one of the first detection blocks, and the measuring head of the displacement sensor is connected to the other first detection block. When the second driving member drives the connecting piece to move left or right, the connecting piece causes the two first detection blocks to move closer or farther away from each other.
