[0002] Automotive sheet metal refers to the parts of the automobile body and its components that are made of thin metal plates. These parts usually include the body shell, doors, hood, trunk lid, and fenders. The main function of sheet metal is to provide structural strength, protect the safety of passengers, and support various accessories and functional devices. After the production and processing of automotive sheet metal parts is completed, the automotive sheet metal surface concave-convex defect detection tooling is needed to detect whether there are concave-convex defects on the surface of the sheet metal parts.

[0012] Preferably, a first placement groove is formed on the top of the two first connection blocks, and an infrared receiver is disposed in each of the two first placement grooves, and the infrared receiver is fixedly connected to the first connection block.
[0013] Preferably, pulleys are fixedly connected to the left and right sides of the second connecting member and the first connecting member, and the pulleys are located in the sliding grooves.
[0014] Preferably, a method for detecting uneven defects on the surface of an automobile sheet metal part comprises the following specific steps: Step 1: First, one end of the air pipe is connected to the output end of the first vacuum pump, and the other end is connected to a five-way joint. Four pipes are further extended from the four ports on the top of the five-way joint and connected to the first suction cup. At the same time, one end of the second air pipe is connected to the output end of the second vacuum pump. Then, a three-way joint is connected to the other end of the second air pipe, and two pipes are extended from the other two joints of the three-way joint and connected to the second suction cup. The automobile sheet metal is further placed between the four first suction cups. After that, the first vacuum pump is started to extract the air between the automobile sheet metal and the first suction cup. Step 2: The driving motor starts and drives the reducer to work. The reducer increases the torque to drive the transmission shaft to rotate. As the transmission shaft rotates, the active bevel gear is driven to rotate, and the active bevel gear is meshed with the driven bevel gear to drive the driven bevel gear to rotate. The rotation of the driven bevel gear drives the threaded rod to rotate, and the rotating threaded rod performs threaded motion with the middle connection, so that the middle connection slides back and forth between the two moving rails. As the middle connection moves, the first connection member and the second connection member are driven to move together, and when the first connection member and the second connection member move, the four pulleys roll back and forth in the sliding groove, and at the same time, the second connection member drives the four automobile sheet metal parts on the first suction cup to move together; Step 3: As the driving motor moves the automobile sheet metal, the second steering gear also starts to work, and the output end of the steering gear drives the 3D scanner to turn. As the automobile sheet metal moves, the angle is adjusted, and the surface of the automobile sheet metal is grid scanned and a model is constructed. When the 3D scanner scans, the grid diagram mapped is projected to fit the surface of the automobile sheet metal, and the concave and convex defects on the surface of the automobile sheet metal can be clearly mapped, and the corresponding concave and convex defects can be constructed on the model at the same time. Then, as the automobile sheet metal moves, when the automobile sheet metal moves to the front end, the automobile sheet metal blocks the infrared transmitter from transmitting the infrared signal, so that the infrared receiver cannot receive the signal, and the first vacuum pump stops working, so that the suction force of the first suction cup on the automobile sheet metal is weakened; Step 4: The two second hydraulic cylinders are further extended and retracted synchronously to adjust the position of the support column so that the two second suction cups are located at the central axis of the automobile sheet metal. Then, the two output ends of the double-axis cylinder push an extension rod in opposite directions respectively, and the first hydraulic cylinder contracts to pull the sliding block upward. Subsequently, the first steering gear is started to rotate the double-axis cylinder 180 degrees to make the two second suction cups move downward. The first hydraulic cylinder extends the sliding block and pushes it downward. The two second suction cups contact the surface of the automobile sheet metal. The second vacuum pump is started to extract the air between the second suction cups and the automobile sheet metal. Then, the first hydraulic cylinder contracts again to pull the sliding block upward. The first steering gear is turned on and reversed 180 degrees. The first hydraulic cylinder extends the sliding block and pushes it downward, so that the four first suction cups contact the other side of the automobile sheet metal. Step 5: Finally, the first vacuum pump starts working again to extract the air between a suction cup and the automobile sheet metal part. Then the second vacuum pump stops working, and the second suction cup loses its adsorption force on the automobile sheet metal part. The two second hydraulic cylinders extend synchronously to move the two extension rods to the left, so that the two extension rods leave the second connecting part and the automobile sheet metal part. The driving motor reverses, so that the middle connecting part moves backward, driving the automobile sheet metal part to move to the right together, and the 3D scanner scans and detects the other side of the automobile sheet metal part.
[0015] The present invention provides a tool and method for detecting concave-convex defects on the surface of automobile sheet metal parts. It has the following beneficial effects: 1. The present invention places the sheet metal on four first suction cups, and then drives the motor to provide power to drive the threaded rod to rotate, so that the middle connector can move forward and backward. The 3D scanner further scans the surface of the sheet metal and builds a model. There is no need for workers to inspect around the automobile sheet metal, and the entire inspection process is faster and more labor-saving.
[0016] 2. The present invention utilizes four first suction cups to limit the movement of the sheet metal part, and then utilizes two second suction cups to adsorb the sheet metal part when it is turned over. By forming a relative vacuum between the first suction cup or the second suction cup and the sheet metal part, the sheet metal part is not directly clamped and transferred, thereby avoiding defects caused by clamping when the sheet metal part is transferred after inspection.
[0017] 3. The present invention changes the angle of the sheet metal parts of different shapes and sizes through the first suction cup with adjustable angle, so as to adapt to sheet metal parts of various shapes and sizes, and when inspecting the sheet metal parts, there is no need to worry about the influence of environmental factors, so that the accuracy of the measurement results is more accurate, and the inspection quality is higher.
[0018] 4. The present invention utilizes a flipping mechanism to automatically adsorb and flip the sheet metal part after scanning and inspecting one side of the sheet metal part, and also performs defect inspection on the other side of the sheet metal part. The sheet metal part can be automatically transferred, flipped and scanned without the intervention of staff, thereby improving the inspection speed and enhancing the efficiency of the production line.

[0036] A method for detecting concave-convex defects on the surface of an automobile sheet metal part, comprising the following specific steps: Step 1: First, one end of the air pipe is connected to the output end of the first vacuum pump 14, and the other end is connected to a five-way joint, and four pipes are further extended from the four ports on the top of the five-way joint and connected to the first suction cup 10, and at the same time, one end of the second air pipe is connected to the output end of the second vacuum pump 34, and then a three-way joint is used to connect to the other end of the second air pipe, and two pipes are extended from the other two joints of the three-way joint to connect to the second suction cup 31, and the automobile sheet metal is further placed between the four first suction cups 10, and then the first vacuum pump 14 is started to extract the air between the automobile sheet metal and the first suction cup 10; Step 2: The driving motor 22 starts to drive the reducer 23 to work, and the reducer 23 increases the torque to drive the transmission shaft 24 to rotate. As the transmission shaft 24 rotates, the active bevel gear 25 is driven to rotate, and the active bevel gear 25 is meshed with the driven bevel gear 20 to drive the driven bevel gear 20 to rotate. The rotation of the driven bevel gear 20 drives the threaded rod 21 to rotate, and the rotating threaded rod 21 performs threaded motion with the middle connecting member 15, so that the middle connecting member 15 slides back and forth between the two moving rails 1. As the middle connecting member 15 moves, the first connecting member 12 and the second connecting member 17 are driven to move together, and when the first connecting member 12 and the second connecting member 17 move, the four pulleys 16 roll back and forth in the sliding groove 9, and at the same time, the second connecting member 17 drives the four automobile sheet metal parts on the first suction cups 10 to move together; Step 3: As the driving motor 22 moves the automobile sheet metal, the second steering gear 40 also starts to work, and the output end of the steering gear 40 drives the 3D scanner 39 to turn.

9. The tool for detecting uneven defects on the surface of automobile sheet metal parts according to claim 1, characterized in that: The second connecting member (17) and the first connecting member (12) are both fixedly connected with pulleys (16) on the left and right sides, and the pulleys (16) are located in the sliding grooves (9).
10. The method for detecting uneven defects on the surface of automobile sheet metal parts according to claim 1, characterized in that: The specific steps include: Step 1: First, one end of the air supply pipe is connected to the output end of the first vacuum pump (14), and the other end is connected to a five-way joint. Four pipes are further extended from the four ports on the top of the five-way joint and connected to the first suction cup (10). At the same time, one end of the second air supply pipe is connected to the output end of the second vacuum pump (34). Then, a three-way joint is connected to the other end of the second air supply pipe, and two pipes are extended from the other two joints of the three-way joint and connected to the second suction cup (31). Then, the automobile sheet metal part is placed between the four first suction cups (10). Then, the first vacuum pump (14) is started to extract the air between the automobile sheet metal part and the first suction cup (10); Step 2: The driving motor (22) is started to drive the reducer (23) to work. The reducer (23) increases the torque to drive the transmission shaft (24) to rotate. As the transmission shaft (24) rotates, the driving bevel gear (25) is driven to rotate. The driving bevel gear (25) meshes with the driven bevel gear (20) to drive the driven bevel gear (20) to rotate. The driven bevel gear (20) rotates to drive the threaded rod (21) to rotate. The rotating threaded rod (21) and the middle connecting member (15) perform a threaded motion, so that the middle connecting member (15) slides back and forth between the two moving rails (1). As the middle connecting member (15) moves, the first connecting member (12) and the second connecting member (17) are driven to move together. When the first connecting member (12) and the second connecting member (17) move, the four pulleys (16) roll back and forth in the sliding groove (9). At the same time, the second connecting member (17) drives the four automobile sheet metal parts on the first suction cup (10) to move together. Step 3: As the driving motor (22) operates to move the automobile sheet metal part, the second steering gear (40) also starts to operate, and the output end of the steering gear (40) drives the 3D scanner (39) to turn. As the automobile sheet metal part moves, the angle is adjusted, and the surface of the automobile sheet metal part is grid scanned and a model is constructed. When the 3D scanner (39) scans, the grid diagram mapped is projected to fit the surface of the automobile sheet metal part, and the concave and convex defects on the surface of the automobile sheet metal part can be clearly mapped, and the corresponding concave and convex defects can be constructed on the model at the same time. Then, as the automobile sheet metal part moves, when the automobile sheet metal part moves to the front end, the automobile sheet metal part blocks the infrared transmitter (7) from transmitting the infrared signal, so that the infrared receiver (8) cannot receive the signal, and the first vacuum pump (14) stops working, so that the suction force of the first suction cup (10) on the automobile sheet metal part is weakened; Step 4: The two second hydraulic cylinders (33) are further extended and retracted synchronously to adjust the position of the support column (36) so that the two second suction cups (31) are located at the central axis of the automobile sheet metal part. Then, the two output ends of the double-axis cylinder (29) push an extension rod (30) in opposite directions respectively, and the first hydraulic cylinder (26) contracts to pull the sliding block (27) upward. Then, the first steering gear (28) is started to rotate the double-axis cylinder (29) 180 degrees so that the two second suction cups (31) are downward. The hydraulic cylinder (26) extends the sliding block (27) and pushes downward, so that the two second suction cups (31) contact the surface of the automobile sheet metal part, the second vacuum pump (34) is started to extract the air between the second suction cups (31) and the automobile sheet metal part, and then the first hydraulic cylinder (26) contracts again to pull the sliding block (27) upward, the first steering gear (28) is turned on and reversed 180 degrees, and the first hydraulic cylinder (26) extends the sliding block (27) and pushes downward, so that the four first suction cups (10) contact the other side of the automobile sheet metal part; Step 5: Finally, the first vacuum pump (14) starts working again to extract the air between a suction cup (10) and the automobile sheet metal part. Then, the second vacuum pump (34) stops working, and the second suction cup (31) loses its suction force on the automobile sheet metal part. The two second hydraulic cylinders (33) extend synchronously to move the two extension rods (30) to the left, so that the two extension rods (30) leave between the second connecting member (17) and the automobile sheet metal part. The driving motor (22) reverses to move the middle connecting member (15) backward, driving the automobile sheet metal part to move to the right together. The 3D scanner (39) scans and detects the other side of the automobile sheet metal part.
