Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of nut installation detection, and specifically relates to a nut installation detection device for automobile spare parts. Background Technique

[0002] Nut installation detection is a key quality control process, which ensures that the installation position and tightening degree of nuts in mechanical equipment meet the technical requirements. A variety of technical means and methods are involved in this process to ensure the reliability of the connection and the safety of the equipment.

[0003] However, there are often some problems in the actual use of existing nut installation detection devices for automobile spare parts: First, during the installation of nuts, the bolt needs to pass through the through holes on two parts and be tightened with the nut to achieve assembly. Therefore, whether the installation position accuracy of the nut on the part is qualified directly affects the overall accuracy after assembly. When installing the nut, its perpendicularity, torque, and wear will all affect the installation quality. In the traditional nut installation process, whether the nut is tightened is mainly determined by the torque measured by the torque sensor. In the actual installation process, there will be a situation where the nut and the bolt are misaligned during the screwing process because they are not screwed in vertically, resulting in the nut not being installed in place due to excessive torque. However, if the torque detected by the torque sensor is within the qualified range, it will be determined that the nut has been tightened, resulting in an error, which will reduce the load-bearing capacity between the threads and further reduce the stability and safety of the connection. Second, the perpendicularity of the nut is not detected after installation, which is likely to increase the wear of the nut. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The transmission assembly includes a support block, which is fixedly connected to one side inside the detection box body. A driving motor is fixedly connected to the top of the support block. The output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft. A first belt pulley is fixedly connected to the outer side of the first rotating shaft.

The second belt pulley is fixedly connected to the outer side of the second rotating shaft. The second rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the detection box body.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission assembly further includes a limiting cylinder, which is fixedly connected to the detection box body. The limiting cylinder is sleeved on the outer side of the second rotating shaft. A spacer block is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second rotating shaft. The spacer block is rotatably connected to the limiting cylinder. An activity rod is arranged at the bottom of the spacer block. The activity rod is rotatably connected to the detection box body. Card slots are formed at the bottom of the spacer block and the top of the activity rod. A pivot block is fixedly connected inside the card slots.

[0008] Preferably, the limiting cylinder is fixedly connected to the detection block. A fixed block is fixedly connected inside the detection block. A magnet is slidably connected inside the fixed block. A through groove is formed on one side of the fixed block. A laser emitter is arranged inside the through groove.

[0009] Preferably, the transparent observation plate is made of a transparent material, and the interval between the detection indicator strips is 1 mm.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting cylinder is provided with a semi-circular groove corresponding to the belt. The first belt pulley and the second belt pulley have the same height and diameter. The radian of the semi-circular groove is greater than the diameter of the second belt pulley.

[0011] Preferably, a gap is left between the spacer block and the activity rod. The top and bottom surfaces of the pivot block are respectively in contact with the spacer block and the activity rod. Gaps are left between both sides of the pivot block and the spacer block and the activity rod.

Due to the inertia of the rotation of the driving motor, it still has a certain rotational speed after stopping. At this time, when the remaining rotational speed is transmitted to the pivot block, since the torque has reached, the spacer block cannot continue to drive the movable rod to rotate at this time. At this time, the pivot block will continue to rotate and move a distance and will increase the friction with the spacer block and the movable rod, so as to better stop it, prevent the remaining kinetic energy from damaging the first nut and causing damage to the automotive parts. And when the torque reaches, the friction between the pivot block and the two sides can generate a sound to warn the staff to avoid damage to the parts. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Detailed implementation manner

[0024] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0025] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides an automotive parts nut installation detection device, including a detection box body 1. A detection box base 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the detection box body 1. A rotation groove is opened on one side of the bottom of the detection box base 2.

A spring 5 is fixedly connected inside the mounting block 4. One side of the spring 5 is fixedly connected to a top block 6. A first nut 7 is arranged on one side of the top block 6. One end of the top block 6 is in contact with the first nut 7. The first nut 7 is slidably connected to the detection block 3. A transparent observation plate 8 is fixedly connected to one side of the detection block 3. A plurality of detection indicator bars 9 are fixedly connected to the outside of the transparent observation plate 8. A transmission component is arranged inside the detection box body 1; during the rotation of the first nut 7, it will be threadedly engaged with the screw, so as to be tightened. During the tightening process of the first nut 7, it will also slide inside the detection block 3, so as to be away from the bottom surface of the fixed block 21. When the first nut 7 is completely tightened, the top block 6 will be ejected by the spring 5, so that the bottom surface of the top block 6 is in contact with the top surface of the first nut 7. At this time, observe through the transparent observation plate 8. At this time, whether the height of the top surface of the first nut 7 is the same as the preset height of the detection indicator bar 9 and whether the top block 6 pops out are used to detect the installation of the first nut 7, avoiding the situation that the nut cannot be installed in place due to excessive torque during the installation process, thereby improving the bearing capacity, connection stability and safety of the screw. At the same time, the laser emitter 23 will emit laser. Whether the laser can form an image on the ground is used to detect its verticality, and at the same time, the thread wear is reduced, significantly improving its service life.

[0026] The transmission assembly includes a support block 10, the support block 10 is fixedly connected to one side inside the detection box body 1, a driving motor 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the support block 10, the output end of the driving motor 11 is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 12, a first pulley 13 is fixedly connected to the outside of the first rotating shaft 12, a second pulley 14 is arranged on one side of the first pulley 13, a belt 15 is sleeved on the outside of the second pulley 14, the first pulley 13 and the second pulley 14 are connected to each other through the belt 15, a second rotating shaft 16 is arranged inside the second pulley 14, the second pulley 14 is fixedly connected to the outside of the second rotating shaft 16, and the second rotating shaft 16 is rotatably connected to the detection box body 1. The transmission assembly further includes a limiting cylinder 17, the limiting cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the detection box body 1, the limiting cylinder 17 is sleeved on the outside of the second rotating shaft 16, a spacer block 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the second rotating shaft 16, the spacer block 18 is rotatably connected to the limiting cylinder 17, a movable rod 19 is arranged at the bottom of the spacer block 18, the movable rod 19 is rotatably connected to the detection box body 1, clamping grooves are formed at the bottom of the spacer block 18 and the top of the movable rod 19, a pivot block 20 is fixedly connected inside the clamping grooves. Start the driving motor 11, drive the second rotating shaft 16 to rotate by starting the driving motor 11, the rotation of the second rotating shaft 16 drives the fixed block 21, the magnet 22 and the first nut 7 to rotate simultaneously, and the rotation of the first nut 7 can screw the first nut 7 into the screw, avoiding manual screwing and improving work efficiency. Through the staggered arrangement of the movable rod 19 and the pivot block 20, when the torque reaches a certain value, the driving motor 11 stops rotating at this time. Due to the certain inertia of the rotation of the driving motor 11, it still has a certain rotation speed after stopping. At this time, when the remaining rotation speed is transmitted to the pivot block 20, since the torque has reached, the spacer block 18 cannot continue to drive the movable rod 19 to rotate at this time. At this time, the pivot block 20 will continue to rotate and move a distance and will increase the friction with the spacer block 18 and the movable rod 19, so as to better stop it, prevent the remaining kinetic energy from damaging the first nut 7 and causing damage to the automobile parts, and when the torque reaches, the friction between the pivot block 20 and both sides can generate a sound to warn the staff to avoid damage to the parts.

[0027] Among them, the limiting cylinder 17 is fixedly connected to the detection block 3, a fixed block 21 is fixedly connected inside the detection block 3, a magnet 22 is slidably connected inside the fixed block 21, a through groove 24 is formed on one side of the fixed block 21, a laser emitter 23 is arranged inside the through groove 24, the laser emitter 23 is fixedly connected to the inner top end of the detection block 3. After the magnet 22 is arranged, it can adsorb the first nut 7 to position the first nut 7, and both the detection block 3 and the first nut 7 are vertically arranged, and through holes capable of cooperating with the screw are formed in the middle of the first nut 7, the fixed block 21 and the magnet 22, which can further prevent the first nut 7 from shifting during the screwing process and improve the guarantee of the perpendicularity of the first nut 7 during installation.

[0028] Among them, the transparent observation plate 8 is made of a transparent material. The interval between multiple detection indicator strips 9 is 1 mm. This 1-mm interval is used to facilitate the observation of the error during the installation of the first nut 7 and improve its detection accuracy.

[0029] Among them, there is a gap between the spacer block 18 and the movable rod 19. The top and bottom surfaces of the pivot block 20 are respectively in contact with the spacer block 18 and the movable rod 19. There are gaps between both sides of the pivot block 20 and the spacer block 18 and the movable rod 19. The limiting cylinder 17 is provided with a semi-circular groove corresponding to the belt 15. The first pulley 13 and the second pulley 14 have the same height and diameter. The radian of the semi-circular groove is larger than the diameter of the second pulley 14. The gap between the spacer block 18 and the movable rod 19 enables a certain margin for buffering during movement, avoiding damage to the first nut 7 caused by the remaining kinetic energy and damage to automotive parts.

[0030] Among them, when the top surface of the first nut 7 is in contact with the fixed block 21, the top block 6 is in contact with the side surface of the first nut 7. When the bottom surface of the first nut 7 is flush with the bottom surface of the detection block 3, the bottom surface of the top block 6 is in contact with the top surface of the first nut 7, making the detection when the first nut 7 is fully tightened more intuitive and avoiding the situation where the nut cannot be installed in place due to excessive torque during the installation process.

[0031] Working principle:

[0032] During the working process, the first nut 7 is placed from the bottom of the detection block 3. At this time, the spring 5 is in the ejected state. Due to the inclined surfaces provided on both of its side surfaces, when the first nut 7 is pressed in, it can easily push the top block 6 away so that the top block 6 is in a state of contacting the side surface of the first nut 7. When the first nut 7 is pressed into the detection block 3, it is attracted by the magnet 22 inside the fixed block 21, fixing the first nut 7 at the bottom of the fixed block 21. At the same time, the screw is passed through the part to be fixed and pre-tightened with the first nut 7;

[0033] At this time, the drive motor 11 is started. The start of the drive motor 11 drives the first rotating shaft 12 to rotate. The rotation of the first rotating shaft 12 drives the first pulley 13, the second pulley 14 and the belt 15 to rotate. The rotation of the second pulley 14 drives the drive motor 11 to start driving. The rotation of the second rotating shaft 16 drives the spacer block 18 to rotate. The rotation of the spacer block 18 drives the pivot block 20 to rotate. Through the staggered arrangement of the movable rod 19 and the pivot block 20, when the torque reaches a certain value, at this time the drive motor 11 stops rotating. Due to the certain inertia of the rotation of the drive motor 11, it will still have a certain rotational speed after stopping. At this time, when the remaining rotational speed is transmitted to the pivot block 20, since the torque has reached, at this time the rotation of the spacer block 18 cannot continue to drive the movable rod 19 to rotate. At this time, the pivot block 20 will continue to rotate and move a distance and will increase the friction with the spacer block 18 and the movable rod 19 so as to better stop it, preventing the remaining kinetic energy from damaging the first nut 7 and causing damage to automotive parts. And when the torque reaches, the friction between the pivot block 20 and both sides can produce a sound to warn the staff to avoid damage to the parts. The rotation of the pivot block 20 drives the movable rod 19 to rotate. The rotation of the movable rod 19 drives the detection block 3 to rotate. The rotation of the detection block 3 drives the fixed block 21, the magnet 22 and the first nut 7 to rotate simultaneously. The rotation of the first nut 7 enables the first nut 7 to be screwed into the screw, avoiding manual screwing and improving work efficiency;

[0034] After the screwing is completed, at this time, during the rotation of the first nut 7, it will be in threaded engagement with the screw, thereby tightening. During the tightening process of the first nut 7, it will also slide inside the detection block 3, thereby moving away from the bottom surface of the fixed block 21. When the first nut 7 is completely tightened, the top block 6 will be ejected by the spring 5, so that the bottom surface of the top block 6 is in contact with the top surface of the first nut 7. At this time, through the transparent observation plate 8, it is observed whether the height of the top surface of the first nut 7 is the same as the height of the preset detection indication strip 9 and whether the top block 6 pops out, to detect the installation of the first nut 7, avoiding the situation that the nut cannot be installed in place due to excessive torque during the installation process, thereby improving the bearing capacity, connection stability and safety of the screw. At the same time, the laser emitter 23 will emit laser. By whether the laser can form an image on the ground, its perpendicularity is detected, reducing thread wear and increasing its service life.
