[0019] In order to make the purpose and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is specifically described below in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is only used to describe one or several specific embodiments of the present invention, and does not strictly limit the scope of protection of the specific claims of the present invention.
[0020] like Figure 1-Figure 6 As shown, a vehicle ball joint control arm hardness testing device comprises a chassis 1, a lifting device 11 is fixedly connected inside the chassis 1, a workbench 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the lifting device 11, and a vehicle ball joint control arm body 2 is placed on the top of the workbench 12; A slide groove is provided at the center of the upper surface of the workbench 12, and a clamping assembly 14 is movably connected inside the slide groove. Both ends of the clamping assembly 14 are located on the upper surface of the workbench 12 and are movably connected to pressure assemblies 15. The automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is located between the two pressure assemblies 15 and the inside of the clamping assembly 14. The clamping assembly 14 is used to fix the center of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2. The clamping assembly 14 continuously clamps and moves to test the hardness of the center of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2. The clamping assembly 14 also drives the pressure assembly 15 to expand while moving. The pressure assembly 15 is used to improve the stability of clamping the irregular parts of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2. At the same time, the expansion hardness of the inner corner of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is tested under the effect of the continuous movement of the pressure assembly 15. The pressure assembly 15 also pushes the broken debris of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 that cannot withstand the hardness test, and the continuous movement of the clamping assembly 14 and the pressure assembly 15 is used to clean the debris on the top of the workbench 12.
[0021] The improvement of this embodiment is that: the component to be tested for hardness is fixed on the top of the workbench 12 by the clamping assembly 14, and the clamping assembly 14 also drives the pressure assembly 15 to expand, and the auxiliary clamping assembly 14 maintains the stability of the clamping of the automotive ball joint control arm body 2 with irregular shapes and various sizes; ensure that during the test process, the control arm body is always in a stable clamping state, and will not be loosened or shifted due to irregular shapes or diverse sizes; At the same time, the clamping component 14 continuously applies clamping force to drive the pressure component 15 to expand the inner angle of the vehicle ball joint control arm body 2, thereby testing the inner angle expansion hardness; the sensor accurately monitors the change of the clamping force and the expansion degree of the pressure component 15 to obtain detailed information on the hardness of the vehicle ball joint control arm body 2; When the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is broken during the test because it cannot withstand the pressure, the clamping assembly 14 continues to move and drives the pressure assembly 15 to move; the pressure assembly 15 cleans the debris on the top of the workbench 12, effectively keeping the workbench 12 clean, and providing a clean and orderly environment for subsequent testing work.
[0022] The working principle of the sensor is known to those skilled in the art. The clamping force change is monitored by a strain gauge or pressure sensor, which is usually installed at the contact point between the clamp and the control arm or at a key force-bearing point. When the clamping force acts on the control arm, the sensitive element inside the sensor is deformed by force, such as the resistance change of the strain gauge, and then the mechanical change is converted into an electrical signal, which is transmitted to the data acquisition system through a wire, and then transmitted to the control system or computer after processing. Through algorithm and software analysis, the clamping force value and change curve are displayed in real time to judge the clamping stability, and an alarm will be issued if it exceeds the set range. For monitoring the degree of pressure expansion, a displacement sensor is usually used, such as a linear displacement sensor or a grating ruler installed on the pressure component 15. Based on electromagnetic induction, capacitance change, resistance change or optical principles, the displacement of the pressure component 15 is measured to reflect the degree of expansion. The data is transmitted to the control system, and the expansion force can be adjusted in real time. The operator can also understand the changes through the display screen, providing important parameter basis for hardness testing and ensuring the reliability and accuracy of the test.
[0023] First, the specific structure of the clamping assembly 14 is disclosed. The clamping assembly 14 includes a fixed block 140, which is fixedly connected to the top of the workbench 12 near the center of the three grooves. A screw 141 is movably connected inside the slide groove at the center of the workbench 12. A slider 142 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the screw 141. A clamping block 143 is fixedly connected to the top of the slider 142. Refer to the attached Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 With attached Figure 5 As shown, the motor output shaft drives the screw 141 to rotate, and the screw 141 drives the slider 142 to move on the outer wall of the screw 141, so that the slider 142 drives the clamping block 143 to move, and the component is fixed on the top of the workbench 12 by the clamping block 143, located between the clamping block 143 and the fixed block 140.
[0024] Furthermore, the specific structure of the pressure assembly 15 is disclosed. The pressure assembly 15 includes an expansion plate 150. The expansion plate 150 has a rotating block 151 fixedly connected to one end close to the clamping block 143. The rotating block 151 has a rotating rod 152 fixedly connected thereto. A rotating member 153 is provided between the rotating rod 152 and the slider 142.
[0025] See attached Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 With attached Figure 6 As shown, the slider 142 is moved to drive the rotating member 153 to rotate, the rotating member 153 drives the rotating rod 152 to rotate inside the clamping block 143, and the rotating rod 152 drives the rotating block 151 to rotate inside the clamping block 143, so that the rotating block 151 adjusts the expansion angle between the two expansion plates 150. By adjusting the angle between the two expansion plates 150, it is convenient to adapt to the inner corner of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2. Through the continuous expansion of the two expansion plates 150, it is supported at the inner corner of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2, and the clamping and fixing of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is stabilized for a second time, ensuring that during the test process, the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is always in a stable clamping state, and will not be loosened or shifted due to irregular shapes or diverse sizes. Furthermore, after the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is fixed on the workbench 12, the central hardness of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is tested by continuous clamping of the clamp block 143. Meanwhile, the movement of the clamp block 143 will drive the two expansion plates 150 to continue to expand, and the hardness tension of the inner corner of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is tested. By accurately monitoring the change of the clamping force and the expansion degree of the two expansion plates 150, the hardness information about the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 can be obtained, and the stress condition of the control arm in actual use can be simulated, so as to obtain a more accurate and reliable hardness test result. The rotating member 153 includes two toothed plates 1530, which are meshed with each other, one of which is coaxially connected to the rotating rod 152, and the other toothed plate 1530 is coaxially connected to a gear 1531 at the bottom; grooves are provided on the outer walls of both sides of the slider 142, and gears 1531 are provided inside the grooves of the slider 142; racks 1532 are provided on both sides of the slide groove of the workbench 12, the racks 1532 are slidably connected to the grooves, and the racks 1532 are meshed with the gears 1531.
[0026] See attached Figure 3 , Attachment Figure 4 With attached Figure 7 As shown, the position of the gear 1531 is adjusted by moving the slider 142, so that during the movement, the gear 1531 is subjected to the meshing force of the rack 1532, which drives the gear 1531 and its coaxially connected toothed disc 1530 to rotate, and the two toothed discs 1530 are meshed and rotated, so that the other toothed disc 1530 drives the rotating rod 152 to rotate, and the rotating block 151 is driven to rotate by the rotating rod 152, so that the two rotating blocks 151 adjust the expansion angle between the two expansion plates 150.
[0027] The side of the fixed block 140 and the clamping block 143 close to each other and the side of the two expansion plates 150 close to the fixed block 140 are both provided with rubber pads 16, and the rubber pads 16 are used to reduce the wear on the vehicle ball joint control arm body 2; Refer to the attached Figure 2 With attached Figure 5 As shown, the rubber pad 16 protects the contact parts between the clamp block 143, the fixed block 140 and the two expansion plates 150 and the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; according to the characteristics of the rubber material, it has excellent elasticity; when the clamp contacts the automobile ball joint control arm body 2, the rubber pad 16 can deform according to the shape and force of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2, so as to fit closely to the surface of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; this fit can not only increase the contact area and make the clamping more stable, but also effectively disperse the clamping force to avoid excessive local pressure causing damage to the surface of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; Secondly, rubber has good wear resistance. During multiple clamping and loosening operations, friction will be generated between the clamp and the automobile ball joint control arm body 2. Without the protection of the rubber pad 16, the surface of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 will be easily worn. The rubber material can withstand this friction and reduce the degree of wear on the surface of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2. Even after long-term use, the rubber pad 16 can maintain good performance and continue to provide protection for the automobile ball joint control arm body 2.
[0028] Considering that when the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is broken during the hardness test due to being unable to withstand the applied pressure, some of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 will remain on the surface of the workbench 12, therefore, a collection box 13 is movably connected to one end of the workbench 12, and two hooks 130 are fixedly connected to the top of the collection box 13 near one end, and the hooks 130 are plugged into the inside of the workbench 12, and a slope 131 is fixedly connected to the inside of the workbench 12; Refer to the attached Figure 2As shown, the clamping block 143 is continuously moved, so that the two expansion plates 150 are continuously expanded and move on the top of the workbench 12, so that the expansion plates 150 push the debris on the top of the workbench 12 to the inside of the groove at the end of the workbench 12, so that after the debris enters the inside of the workbench 12, it slides along the inclined direction of the slope 131 to the inside of the collection box 13; wherein the hook 130 is moved up and down inside the workbench 12, so that the collection box 13 can be easily installed and disassembled.
[0029] This embodiment is based on the content provided in Embodiment 1, and aims to provide a method for testing the hardness of a ball joint control arm of an automobile, and the specific steps are as follows: S1. First, place the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 on the top of the workbench 12, that is, between the clamping block 143 and the fixed block 140; at this time, start the motor, the output shaft of the motor starts to rotate and drives the screw 141 to rotate synchronously; as the screw 141 rotates, the slider 142 starts to move smoothly on the outer wall of the screw 141 due to its threaded connection relationship with the screw 141; during the movement, the slider 142 drives the clamping block 143 to move together, and the clamping block 143 gradually approaches the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; when the clamping block 143 contacts the automobile ball joint control arm body 2, continue to apply pressure, and finally the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is firmly fixed on the top of the workbench 12, and is located between the clamping block 143 and the fixed block 140, to ensure that the control arm will not move easily in subsequent operations; S2. Then, as the slider 142 moves, the gear 1531 is driven to move. Due to the meshing relationship between the gear 1531 and the rack 1532, the gear 1531 is subjected to the meshing force of the rack 1532 when moving. This meshing force causes the gear 1531 to rotate inside the groove of the slider 142. The rotation of the gear 1531 further drives one of the toothed discs 1530 to rotate. Since the two toothed discs 1530 mesh with each other, when one toothed disc 1530 rotates, the other toothed disc 1530 also rotates accordingly. In this way, the other toothed disc 1530 drives the rotating rod 152 to rotate, and the rotating rod 152 drives the rotating block 151 to rotate. Through the rotation of the rotating block 151, the expansion angle between the two expansion plates 150 is precisely adjusted. S3. After the angle adjustment, the two expansion plates 150 can better adapt to the inner corner of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; as the operation continues, the two expansion plates 150 continue to expand and gradually support the inner corner of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; this inner corner support method provides secondary stability for the clamping and fixing of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; the shape of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is often irregular and the size is diverse. Through this secondary stable clamping, it can be ensured that during the test process, the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is always in a stable state, and will not become loose or shifted due to its own irregular shape or diverse size, laying a solid foundation for subsequent accurate testing; S4. After the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 is firmly fixed on the workbench 12, the central hardness of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 can be tested by continuous clamping of the clamping block 143; at the same time, the movement of the clamping block 143 will drive the two expansion plates 150 to continue to expand; during the expansion process, the two expansion plates 150 test the hardness tension of the inner corners of the automobile ball joint control arm body 2; in this process, by accurately monitoring the changes in the clamping force and the expansion degree of the two expansion plates 150, detailed hardness information about the automobile ball joint control arm body 2 can be obtained; this test method can more realistically simulate the stress conditions of the control arm during actual use, thereby obtaining more accurate and reliable hardness test results, providing a strong basis for the quality evaluation of the automobile ball joint control arm; S5. As the clamping block 143 continues to move, the two expansion plates 150 also continue to expand and move on the top of the workbench 12; during the movement, the expansion plates 150 can push the debris on the top of the workbench 12 to the inside of the groove at the end of the workbench 12; when the debris enters the inside of the workbench 12, it will naturally slide into the inside of the collection box 13 along the inclined direction of the slope 131; such operation can maintain the neat appearance of the workbench 12 and prevent the debris from interfering with subsequent testing work; ensure that subsequent testing work can be carried out smoothly in a clean and orderly environment, and improve the efficiency and accuracy of the testing work.
[0030] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present invention. The structures, devices and operating methods not specifically described and explained in the present invention shall be implemented according to the conventional means in the art unless otherwise specified and limited.
