Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of automobile manufacturing, and in particular to a color evaluation platform for automobile exterior parts used for evaluating the color of automobile exterior parts. Background Art

[0002] The appearance of a car directly affects the choice of consumers, and the color of the car's exterior trim plays a decisive role in the appearance of the car. Evaluating the color of the car's exterior trim is an important part of the quality release process of the exterior trim.

[0003] When evaluating the color of automotive exterior parts, it is necessary to observe from different angles in a dedicated evaluation environment (Willing Booth) to visually evaluate the color of the exterior parts. Currently, when evaluating the color of exterior parts, for smaller parts, an operator stands on one side holding the part and the standard color plate, and raises the part and the standard color plate to the visual height of another observer (level with the observer's visual height); for larger parts, the part is first placed on a fixed bracket, and then the observer performs a visual evaluation.

[0004] However, when operators hold parts for evaluation, they cannot keep the parts at the same angle or height. Although larger parts can be placed on fixed brackets, a dedicated fixed bracket is required for each part. Due to the differences in vehicle models and parts locations, many fixed brackets are needed to ensure the placement of different products, and the storage cost is too high. Summary of the invention

[0005] Technical issues to be solved

[0006] In order to solve the problems in the prior art that the color evaluation of automobile exterior parts is high in cost and the observation angle is difficult to unify, the present invention provides an automobile exterior part color evaluation platform.

[0007] Technical solutions for solving technical problems

[0008] The automobile exterior color evaluation stand of the present invention comprises: a frame, the frame is provided with fixing parts at multiple positions; and a fixing tool, the fixing tool is provided with a fixed part, and the fixing tool is assembled to the frame by fixing the fixed part relative to the fixing part, and the fixing tool is provided with a supporting part, and the supporting part has a shape adapted to the shape of the automobile exterior part whose color is to be evaluated.

[0009] According to the automobile exterior color evaluation bench, only one frame needs to be prepared and different fixing tools need to be assembled on the frame, so that one automobile exterior color evaluation bench can be used to stably support multiple automobile exteriors. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare different fixing brackets for different models or different automobile exteriors for color evaluation, saving parts and storage costs.

[0010] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation stand, preferably, the frame has a plurality of horizontal bars respectively located on a plurality of height planes, and the plurality of horizontal bars located on the plurality of height planes are fixedly connected to each other via vertical rods.

[0011] In this way, different fixing fixtures can be fixed to the horizontal bars of each height plane respectively, so as to cope with automobile exterior parts of different heights. For example, when different fixing fixtures are used to support different automobile exterior parts, even if the shapes of the fixing fixtures are different and the automobile exterior parts are supported at different heights, it is difficult to support the automobile exterior parts at positions with large height differences due to the size limitations of the fixing fixtures. However, since the frame itself is provided with horizontal bars of multiple height planes, it is only necessary to support the automobile exterior parts on the horizontal bars on different height planes to set the heights of the automobile exterior parts to different levels, thereby being able to conveniently support different automobile exterior parts.

[0012] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation stand, preferably, the vertical rod comprises a first rod and a cylindrical second rod disposed outside the first rod, and the length of the vertical rod is variable through the mutual movement between the first rod and the second rod.

[0013] Thereby, the distances between the horizontal bars at different height planes can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the height of each horizontal bar relative to the ground (the supporting surface of the support frame).

[0014] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation bench, preferably, one of the fixing portion and the fixed portion is formed as a protrusion, and the other of the fixing portion and the fixed portion is formed as a recessed hole whose shape is adapted to the protrusion, and the fixing tool is fixed to the frame by inserting the protrusion into the recessed hole.

[0015] Thereby, the fixing tool can be conveniently and firmly positioned on the frame, and can also be easily removed.

[0016] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation stand, preferably, the fixing portion is a screw hole, the fixed portion is a through hole, and the fixing fixture is assembled to the frame by allowing a threaded component to pass through the through hole and screw into the screw hole.

[0017] Thus, the fixing device can be firmly positioned on the frame, and a heavy automobile exterior part can be supported.

[0018] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation bench, preferably, a plurality of the fixed parts are provided on the fixing fixture, and the spacing between the fixing parts arranged at multiple positions of the frame is equal to the spacing between the plurality of the fixed parts arranged on the fixing fixture.

[0019] Therefore, when the fixing tool is fixed to the frame, it can be fixed by using multiple fixing parts and fixed parts, thereby preventing the fixing tool from rotating relative to the frame, and can better hold the automobile exterior parts to be evaluated in color, ensuring a stable angle during color evaluation.

[0020] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation stand, preferably, the supporting portion is a boss protruding from the fixing fixture, and the boss is inserted into a mounting hole provided in the automobile exterior so as to support the automobile exterior on the frame via the fixing fixture.

[0021] Thus, the mounting holes of the automobile exterior parts are used to support the automobile exterior parts, and the appearance of the automobile exterior parts will not be blocked, which is particularly applicable when evaluating the color of automobile exterior parts. The fixation of the bosses and the mounting holes also ensures the stability of the position of the automobile exterior parts.

[0022] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation bench, preferably, the supporting portion is a recessed portion recessed in the fixing tool, and the recess has a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the automobile exterior. By accommodating the automobile exterior in the recess, the automobile exterior is supported on the frame via the fixing tool.

[0023] Thus, the main body shapes of a plurality of fixing fixtures can be set to be the same, and different automobile exterior parts can be supported by only changing the shape of the recessed portion set in the fixing fixture.

[0024] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation stand, preferably, a bracket is provided on the automobile exterior, and the automobile exterior is fixed to the fixing fixture by fixing the bracket to the fixing fixture, so that the automobile exterior is supported on the frame via the fixing fixture.

[0025] Therefore, when it is inconvenient for the automobile exterior decoration to be directly supported on the fixing device, the bracket can be used to fix the automobile exterior decoration.

[0026] In the above-mentioned automobile exterior color evaluation stand, preferably, the bracket has a fixed plate, and the fixed plate is fixed relative to the fixing fixture by a threaded component so as to fix the automobile exterior relative to the fixing fixture.

[0027] Thus, even a small-sized automobile exterior part can be firmly supported by the fixing fixture. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0032] The following is a description of exemplary embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, including various details of the embodiments of the present invention to facilitate understanding, which should be considered as merely exemplary. Therefore, it should be recognized by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Similarly, for clarity and conciseness, the description of well-known functions and structures is omitted in the following description.

[0033] It should be pointed out that the embodiments of the present invention and the technical features therein may be combined with each other without conflict.

[0034] like Figure 1 As shown, the automobile exterior color evaluation bench 1 involved in the embodiment of the present invention mainly includes two parts, namely, a frame 2 and a fixing tool 3. The frame 2 is the main part of the automobile exterior color evaluation bench 1, and the whole is formed to roughly imitate the shape and size of a car. In the embodiment, the length of the frame 2 is 2550mm, the width is 2400mm, and the height is 1215mm, but the size of the frame 2 can be set according to actual needs.

[0035] By forming the automobile exterior color evaluation stand 1 to roughly imitate the shape and size of the automobile, when the automobile exterior trim 4 is fixed to the automobile exterior color evaluation stand 1, the automobile exterior trim 4 can be placed in a position substantially the same as when it is installed on the automobile, so that the observation angle of the operator evaluating the color relative to the automobile exterior trim 4 is substantially the same as the angle at which the automobile exterior trim 4 is observed when it is in normal use.

[0036] like Figure 1As shown, the frame 2 has a plurality of horizontal bars 21 located on a plurality of height planes. In the present embodiment, the plurality of horizontal bars 21 located on a plurality of height planes include a plurality of horizontal bars 21a located on a low height plane, a plurality of horizontal bars 21b located on a medium height plane, and a plurality of horizontal bars 21c located on a high height plane. The horizontal bars 21a, 21b, 21c on different height planes are fixedly connected by vertical bars 22, respectively. As described below, the horizontal bars 21a, 21b, 21c located on a plurality of height planes can respectively support the automobile exterior trim 4 of the color to be evaluated at different height positions, so that the color of the automobile exterior trim 4 at different heights on the vehicle body can be evaluated at a suitable observation angle.

[0037] exist Figure 1 In the embodiment, the distance between the horizontal bars 21 on different height planes is fixed, that is, the length of the vertical bars 22 is fixed. However, each vertical bar 22 can also be set as a two-section rod body that is nested with each other, that is, the vertical bar 22 includes a first rod and a cylindrical second rod that is sleeved on the outside of the first rod, and the overall length of the vertical bar 22 is variable through the mutual movement between the two sections of the rod body (the first rod and the second rod). In this way, the distance between the horizontal bars 21 (21a, 21b, 21c) on different height planes can be adjusted, and the height of each horizontal bar 21 (21a, 21b, 21c) relative to the ground (the support surface of the support frame 2) can be adjusted.

[0038] In this way, when evaluating automobile exterior parts 4 of different automobile models, even if different automobile exterior parts 4 need to be set at different heights for color evaluation, it can be properly handled by adjusting the length of the vertical rod 22 .

[0039] The bottom of the frame 2 is provided with wheels 9 for moving the frame 2. The frame of this embodiment is a rectangle imitating the shape of a vehicle, so wheels 9 are respectively provided at the four corners of the bottom.

[0040] The fixing fixture 3 is a component for fixing the automobile exterior trim 4 relative to the frame 1 . The fixing fixture 3 is provided with a support portion 6 . The support portion 6 has a shape adapted to the shape of the automobile exterior trim 4 and can support the automobile exterior trim 4 .

[0041] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the fixing fixture 3 is provided in a block shape and fixed relative to the frame 2. The support portion 6 is a recessed portion 6a recessed downward from the upper surface of the fixing fixture 3, and the recessed portion 6a has a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the automobile exterior trim 4. By accommodating the automobile exterior trim 4 in the recessed portion 6a, the automobile exterior trim 4 is supported on the frame 2 via the fixing fixture 3.

[0042] The shapes of the plurality of fixtures 3 can be set according to the automobile exterior parts 4 of the color to be evaluated. Thus, different automobile exterior parts 4 can be supported. Moreover, for automobile exterior parts 4 of larger size, a plurality of fixtures 3 for supporting can be provided, and the recessed portions 6a (supporting portions 6) provided in the plurality of fixtures 3 respectively have shapes corresponding to the cross-sectional shapes of different cross sections of the same automobile exterior part 4.

[0043] For example, Figure 2 As shown in (a), for the rear bumper 4a of the automobile (an example of the automobile exterior trim 4 whose color is to be evaluated), six fixing fixtures 3 are provided, and the six fixing fixtures 3 respectively have recesses 6a (supporting portions 6) of shapes corresponding to the cross-sectional shapes of different cross sections of the rear bumper 4a, thereby being able to support the rear bumper 4a at different cross-sectional positions.

[0044] Based on the specific position of the rear bumper 4 a in the vehicle, in the present embodiment, the rear bumper 4 a is supported by the cross bar 21 b on the middle height plane via the fixing fixture 3 .

[0045] The fixing jig 3 is supported and fixed to the frame 2 by a fixing structure 5 . Specifically, the fixing structure 5 includes a fixing portion 51 provided on the frame 2 and a fixed portion 52 provided on the fixing jig 3 .

[0046] The automobile exterior color evaluation stand 1 of this embodiment is equipped with a plurality of fixtures 3 for one frame 2, and the plurality of fixtures 3 include fixtures 3 of different shapes and fixtures 3 of the same shape. Among them, the fixtures 3 of different shapes include fixtures 3 of different main body shapes (height, width, etc.) and fixtures 3 of the same main body shape but different shapes of the support part 6.

[0047] When the automobile exterior parts 4 are supported on the horizontal bar 21 of the frame 2 via the fixing fixture 3 for color evaluation of different automobile exterior parts 4, the length of the vertical rod 22 can be adjusted as described above, thereby adjusting the height of the horizontal bar 21 and further achieving the height adjustment of the automobile exterior parts 4.

[0048] However, there are many numbers and types of automobile exterior trims 4, and even if multiple automobile exterior trims 4 are supported by a horizontal bar 21 on the same height plane, there are differences in the setting heights between each other. By matching a plurality of fixing fixtures 3 with a frame 2, and including fixing fixtures 3 of different shapes and fixing fixtures 3 of the same shape in the plurality of fixing fixtures 3, even when multiple automobile exterior trims 4 are supported on a horizontal bar 21 on the same height plane, the height of each automobile exterior trim 4 can still be adjusted by using different fixing fixtures 3. In this way, even if the shapes and positions of each automobile exterior trim 4 are different from each other, there is no need to replace different automobile exterior trim color evaluation stands 1, but only needs to fix fixing fixtures 3 of different shapes at different positions on the frame 2, and support the automobile exterior trim 4 on the supporting portion 6 of the fixing fixture 3.

[0049] In this embodiment, a frame 2 is provided including horizontal bars 21a, 21b, and 21c located on multiple height planes, and different fixing tools 3 can be fixed to the horizontal bars 21a, 21b, and 21c of each height plane, respectively. Therefore, one automobile exterior color evaluation stand 1 can be used to perform color evaluation on multiple automobile exterior parts 4, without the need to prepare different fixing brackets for the multiple automobile exterior parts 4, thereby saving storage space and material costs.

[0050] exist Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the automobile exterior color evaluation bench 1 shown, the fixing structure 5 fixes the fixing tool 3 to the frame 2 by magnetic force, and includes a magnetic material (not shown) as a fixing part 51 provided on the frame 2 and a magnetic material (not shown) as a fixed part 52 provided on the fixing tool 3. For example, one of the fixing part 51 and the fixed part 52 can be a magnet, and the other can be made of a magnetic material that can be attracted by a magnet.

[0051] However, the fixing structure 5 may also be in other forms, for example, the fixing portion 51 may be formed as a cylindrical or other shaped protrusion, which protrudes upward from the upper surface of the frame 2. The fixed portion 52 may be formed as a concave hole corresponding to the shape of the protrusion of the fixing portion 51, which is recessed upward from the lower surface of the fixing fixture 3. In this way, when the fixing fixture 3 is fixed relative to the frame 2, the fixing fixture 3 can be fixed to the frame 2 by simply inserting the protrusion into the concave hole of the fixing fixture 3. In addition, the fixing portion 51 may be set as a concave hole, and the fixed portion 52 may be set as a protrusion corresponding to the shape of the concave hole.

[0052] Compared with setting the fixing part 51 and the fixed part 52 as a combination of protrusions and recessed holes, when the fixing part 51 and the fixed part 52 of the fixing structure 5 are formed of magnetic materials, since the frame 2 itself can be made of magnetic materials such as iron, it is only necessary to set a component such as a magnet that can absorb iron materials on the fixing fixture 3. In this case, the fixing fixture 3 can be adsorbed at any position of the frame 2, and compared with the case where the fixing structure 5 is formed of a combination of protrusions and recessed holes, the setting freedom of the fixing fixture 3 becomes greater.

[0053] Figure 2 (a) to (f) respectively show the situation where various automobile exterior parts 4 are supported on the frame 2 via a plurality of fixing fixtures 3. Figure 2 (a) shows a situation where the rear bumper 4a of the car is supported on the frame 2 via the fixing fixture 3; Figure 2 (b) shows a situation where the soft nose 4b of the car is supported on the frame 2 via the fixing fixture 3; Figure 2 (c) shows the situation where the rearview mirror cover 4c of the car is supported on the frame 2 via the fixing fixture 3; Figure 2 (d) shows a situation where the door sill 4d of the car is supported on the frame 2 via the fixing fixture 3; Figure 2 (e) shows the situation where the front bumper 4e of the car is supported on the frame 2 via the fixing fixture 3; Figure 2 (f) shows a state where a spoiler 4f of a car is supported on a frame 2 via a fixing fixture 3 .

[0054] like Figure 2 As shown, only one frame 2 is needed in combination with different fixing tools 3 to support the automobile exterior parts 4 (4a-4f) (simultaneously) at various required heights, so that one automobile exterior part color evaluation stand 1 can be used to support a variety of automobile exterior parts 4 at appropriate angles.

[0055] Furthermore, since the fixing fixture 3 can be fixed to different positions of the frame 2 by the fixing portion 5, different automobile exterior parts 4 can be handled by only changing the setting position of the fixing fixture 3. Therefore, even automobile exterior parts 4 of different models can be color evaluated using the same automobile exterior color evaluation stand 1.

[0056] [Modification 1]

[0057] The automotive exterior color evaluation stand 1 in Modification 1 is different from the automotive exterior color evaluation stand 1 in the embodiment in the structures of the fixing structure 5 and the support portion 6. Therefore, the description of the same parts is omitted below, and only the structures of the fixing structure 5 and the support portion 6 are described.

[0058] Fixed Structure

[0059] like Figure 3 As shown, the fixing portion 5 involved in the modified example includes a screw hole 51a (i.e., the fixing portion 51) provided on the frame 2 and a through hole 52a (i.e., the fixed portion 52) provided on the fixing tool 3. The fixing tool 3 is fixedly assembled to the frame 2 by passing a threaded component 53 through the through hole 52a and screwing it into the screw hole 51.

[0060] like Figure 3 As shown, each fixing fixture 3 is provided with a plurality of fixed parts 52 ( Figure 3 4 through holes 52a are provided), and the horizontal bar 21 of the frame 2 is evenly provided with fixing portions 51 ( Figure 3 In addition, the spacing between the plurality of fixed parts 52 is equal to the spacing between the plurality of fixing parts 51. Thus, when the fixing tool 3 is fixed to the frame 2, the plurality of fixing parts 51 and the fixed parts 52 can be used to fix the fixing tool 3, thereby preventing the fixing tool 3 from rotating relative to the frame 2, and better maintaining the automobile exterior trim 4 of the color to be evaluated, thereby ensuring a stable angle during color evaluation.

[0061] Moreover, since the fixing parts 51 are evenly provided throughout the entire upper surface of the horizontal bar 21 of the frame 2, the fixing tool 3 can be fixed at any position relative to the horizontal bar 21, thereby ensuring the freedom of the position of the fixing tool 3, and the fixing tool 3 and the setting position of the fixing tool 3 can be selected according to the automobile exterior parts 4 of the color to be evaluated.

[0062] In the above description and drawings, only the case where the fixing portion 51 is disposed on the horizontal bar 21 ( 21 a , 21 b , 21 c ) is described. However, depending on the position of the automobile exterior part 4 to be evaluated, the fixing portion 51 may also be disposed on the vertical bar 22 .

[0063] 《Supporting Section 6》

[0064] In the above embodiment, the support portion 6 includes a recessed portion 6a having a shape corresponding to the cross-sectional shape of the automobile exterior trim 4 of the color to be evaluated. In order to prevent the fixture 3 itself from blocking the appearance surface of the automobile exterior trim 4 and affecting the color evaluation, this modification considers using the supported portion 7 formed on the automobile exterior trim 4 to support the automobile exterior trim 4.

[0065] Specifically, the automobile exterior trim 4 is usually provided with a supported portion 7. When the automobile exterior trim 4 is installed on a vehicle, it is fixed to the vehicle body via the supported portion 7, thereby assembling the automobile exterior trim 4 to the vehicle body. Figure 4 As shown, the automobile exterior part 4 is provided with a protruding piece 71 and a mounting hole 72 formed through the protruding piece 71 , and the protruding piece 71 and the mounting hole 72 constitute a supported portion 7 .

[0066] like Figure 3 As shown, at this time, the supporting portion 6 is formed as a boss 6b protruding upward from the upper surface of the fixing tool 3 (the protruding direction and position can be set as needed), and the boss 6b is formed into a shape adapted to the mounting hole 72 of the automobile exterior trim 4. By inserting the boss 6b into the mounting hole 72, the automobile exterior trim 4 is supported on the fixing tool 3.

[0067] Thus, another structure for fixing the automobile exterior trim 4 to the fixing fixture 3 is provided, and the boss 6b utilizes the mounting hole 72 of the automobile exterior trim 4 itself, and compared with the recess 6a, it does not block the appearance surface of the automobile exterior trim 4, and is particularly suitable for color evaluation of the automobile exterior trim 4. The fixing of the boss 6b and the mounting hole 72 also ensures the stability of the position of the automobile exterior trim.

[0068] [Modification 2]

[0069] In the above embodiment, if Figure 2 As shown in (c), the mirror cover 4c as the automobile exterior part 4 is not supported by the fixing jig 3 via the recessed portion 6a as the supporting portion 6, but is directly bonded or adsorbed to the fixing jig 3.

[0070] Specifically, the fixing fixture 3 has a shape corresponding to the contour of small automobile exterior trim 4 such as the rearview mirror cover 4c. At this time, small automobile exterior trim 4 such as the rearview mirror cover 4c is directly fixed relative to the fixing fixture 3 by adhesive or magnetic adsorption, so that the appearance surface of the rearview mirror cover 4c can be completely exposed to the field of vision of the observer who performs color evaluation on the automobile exterior trim 4.

[0071] Modification 2 provides another structure for fixing a small automobile exterior part 4 .

[0072] like Figure 4 As shown, for an example of a small automobile exterior trim 4, a rearview mirror cover 4c is taken as an example. A bracket 8 is provided on the rearview mirror cover 4c, one end of the bracket 8 is fixed to the inner side of the rearview mirror cover 4c by screws, for example, and the other end of the bracket 8 is fixed to the fixing fixture 3, so that the rearview mirror cover 4c can be fixed to the fixing fixture 3 and then fixed to the frame 2.

[0073] Specifically, the rearview mirror cover plate 4c is provided with a plurality of screw holes (or through holes) 4c1 for fixing the rearview mirror cover plate 4c to the vehicle body or fixing the rearview mirror cover plate 4c to other parts of the rearview mirror. The rearview mirror cover plate 4c may also be specially provided with screw holes for fixing the rearview mirror cover plate 4c to the bracket 8, but it is preferred to use the screw holes 4c1 of the automobile exterior trim 4 itself, such as the rearview mirror cover plate 4c.

[0074] A plurality of branch arms 81 are provided at one end of the bracket 8, and the branch arms 81 are respectively provided corresponding to the screw holes 4c1. The ends of the branch arms 81 are fixed to the screw holes 4c1 by screws and other components, so that small automobile exterior parts 4 such as rearview mirror cover plates 4c are fixed to one end of the branch arms 81.

[0075] A fixing plate 82 is provided at the other end of the bracket 8. The fixing plate 82 is a disc-shaped structure provided with a screw hole 821. The fixing fixture 3 for fixing the small automobile exterior parts 4 such as the rearview mirror cover plate 4c is also provided with a screw hole. The position of the screw hole provided in the fixing fixture 3 (in this case, the screw hole provided in the fixing fixture 3 is the support part 6) corresponds to the position of the screw hole 821 of the fixing plate 82, so that the fixing plate 82 can be fixed to the fixing fixture 3 by a screw or other threaded component, thereby fixing the small automobile exterior parts 4 such as the rearview mirror cover plate 4c relative to the frame 2.

[0076] In addition, considering that the small automobile exterior parts 4 such as the rearview mirror cover plate 4c are light in weight, the fixing plate 8c can also be set as a suction cup structure. Specifically, the surface of the fixing fixture 3 can be made smooth, so that the fixing plate 8c can be adsorbed on the surface of the fixing fixture 3, thereby fixing the small automobile exterior parts 4 such as the rearview mirror cover plate 4c relative to the frame 2.

[0077] The above specific implementations do not constitute a limitation on the protection scope of the present invention. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that various modifications, combinations, sub-combinations and substitutions may occur depending on design requirements and other factors. Any modification, equivalent substitution and improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
