Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a key component of the automobile suspension system, the performance and quality of automobile shock absorbers directly affect the driving comfort and safety of the car. Bushings, oil reservoirs, connecting rod assemblies, etc. are important components of the shock absorber. Their length and dimensional accuracy plays a decisive role in the overall performance of the shock absorber.

[0003] Currently, the lengths of oil reservoirs and connecting rod assemblies in automotive shock absorbers are measured using calipers. However, the surface profile of rubber bushings is a hobbing groove shape, making them impractical to measure with calipers. Therefore, a custom go / no-go gauge inspection tool was developed. The product is first tested on the go side, then on the no-go side. If it passes, it passes; otherwise, it fails. Existing techniques for measuring objects of varying shapes and sizes typically require the use of multiple specially designed tooling. This approach not only increases costs but also reduces efficiency, as each change in measurement object requires adjustment or replacement of the corresponding tooling.

[0004] Because a single tool cannot adapt to diverse measurement needs and its measurement accuracy is often low, especially when processing objects with complex geometries, the error is more significant. As the automotive industry continues to demand higher quality and production efficiency, traditional measurement methods are no longer able to meet the needs, and a high-precision measurement tool is urgently needed.

[0030] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0031] Example 1

[0032] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, a length testing fixture is provided, including a test platform 1, a translation mechanism 5, a fixed detection plate 3, a mobile detection plate 6, a fixture 7, a distance sensor 12 and a control host box 2. The test platform 1 is provided with a translation mechanism 5, one end of the translation mechanism 5 is connected to the fixed detection plate 3, and the mobile detection plate 6 is slidably provided on the translation mechanism 5. The fixed detection plate 3 and the mobile detection plate 6 are arranged relative to each other and can fit together. The fixture 7 is detachably connected to the test platform 1, and when measuring the size of the workpiece 30 to be measured, the fixture 7 is located between the fixed detection plate 3 and the mobile detection plate 6. The distance sensor 12 is connected to the mobile detection plate 6 and the test platform 1, and the distance sensor 12 is used to detect the distance between the mobile detection plate 6 and the fixed detection plate 3. The translation mechanism 5, the distance sensor 12 and the control host box 2 are all able to communicate. Among them, the fixed detection plate 3 is preferably arranged perpendicular to the translation mechanism 5.

[0033] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the upper surface of the fixture 7 is provided with a material discharge trough 8, which is used to place the workpiece 30 to be measured and plays a positioning and support role. The material discharge trough 8 is V-shaped, arc-shaped, or rectangular. The fixture 7 is provided with several models of different sizes, each model of the fixture 7 is used to match a workpiece 30 to be measured, and can be replaced according to the size of the workpiece to match different workpieces. There is at least one fixture 7, and the axis of the workpiece 30 to be measured is parallel to the center line of the translation mechanism 5. When the length of the workpiece 30 to be measured is too long, two or more fixtures 7 can be used to support the workpiece. In this embodiment, the main purpose is to measure cylindrical workpieces, so the upper surface of the fixture 7 is provided with a material discharge trough 8. If other workpieces are to be measured, matching conversion can also be performed according to the shape of the workpiece 30 to be measured.

[0034] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a workpiece sensing sensor 9 is provided on the discharge trough 8 or the fixture 7. This sensor 9 is used to detect whether the workpiece 30 to be measured is placed in the discharge trough 8. The sensor 9 comprises a proximity switch, a photoelectric switch, or a laser sensor, and is communicatively connected to the control main box 2. The sensor 9 has a trigger accuracy of ±0.002mm, which verifies the presence of the workpiece 30 to be measured. This ensures that the repeatability error range of multi-sensor fusion measurement is within 0.005mm and the detection cycle is within 15 seconds per piece.

[0035] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the bottom surface of the fixture 7 is higher than the translation mechanism 5, and the test platform 1 is provided with several pairs of connecting holes 10 along the moving direction of the translation mechanism 5. The bottom of the fixture 7 is detachably connected to the connecting hole 10 through a pair of positioning pins 11. The connecting hole 10 is a blind hole, and the positioning pin 11 can be inserted into the blind hole to assist in positioning the fixture 7, so as to facilitate the rapid installation and removal of the fixture 7, or the lower end of the positioning pin 11 is provided with a thread, and the connecting hole 10 is a threaded hole. The positioning pin 11 is connected to the threaded hole through a thread, and the height and flatness of the fixture 7 can be fine-tuned. The specific position of the fixture 7 can be accurately fixed by the positioning pin 11 according to the length of the workpiece 30 to be measured.

[0036] As an optional solution, the distance sensor 12 in this embodiment is a grating sensor, and the indicator grating of the grating sensor is connected to the mobile detection plate 6. A slide groove is provided on the test platform 1. The slide 15 of the ball screw module 13 passes through the slide groove and is connected to the indicator grating. It is displaced with the linear displacement of the mobile detection plate 6. The scale grating is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the test platform 1. The two form moiré fringes through relative displacement to achieve distance measurement. It can be installed according to the conventional installation method of grating sensors in this field. Among them, the distance sensor 12 is a high-precision grating sensor with an accuracy of 0.1μm, which is used to obtain the dimensional data of the workpiece 30 to be measured. Multi-sensor fusion measurement ensures that the repeatability error range is within 0.005mm and the detection cycle range is within 15 seconds / piece. The distance sensor 12 and other sensors are fixed to the platform through waist-shaped holes 26 and bolts 20, which can achieve fine-tuning of the installation position to ensure the optimal measurement position and angle.

[0037] As an optional solution, a cylindrical positioning block 4 is detachably connected to the top of the fixed detection plate 3 in this embodiment via a bolt 20. The radius of the cylindrical positioning block 4 is provided in different models and can be replaced to match the radius of the through hole of the workpiece 30 to be tested. In this embodiment, the cylindrical positioning block 4 is used to engage the circular hole at the end of the workpiece 30 to be tested for positioning. By measuring the distance between the hole and the end of the workpiece 30 to be tested, the radius of the circular hole at the end of the workpiece 30 to be tested can be measured separately, and combined with the reading of the distance sensor 12, the distance between the hole and the end of the workpiece 30 to be tested can be obtained.

[0038] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, translation mechanism 5 includes a ball screw module 13 and a servo motor 14. The lead screw of ball screw module 13 is connected to servo motor 14, and slide 15 is connected to mobile detection plate 6, thereby achieving linear movement of mobile detection plate 6. In this embodiment, the stroke of ball screw module 13 is preferably 500 mm, and the accuracy is preferably 0.1 μm. The high control angle of servo motor 14 can improve the measurement accuracy of workpiece dimensions.

[0039] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the ball screw module 13 is provided with a limit switch 18 at the end closest to the servo motor 14 and a fixed detection plate 3 at the end further away from the servo motor 14. The limit switch 18 is used to limit the maximum displacement of the movable detection plate 6 and is communicatively connected to the control main box 2. The position of the limit switch 18 can serve as the initial position of the fixed detection plate 3. After each workpiece measurement, the fixed detection plate 3 returns to the limit switch 18. The limit switches 18 can also be installed at both ends of the ball screw module to detect the extreme position of the slider 23 and prevent the slide 15 from exceeding the travel range of the screw.

[0040] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a linear track 17 is provided below the ball screw module 13, a track groove 16 (or a single-sided guide plate) is provided below the slide 15, and the upper baffle 19 is connected to the movable detection plate 6 by a bolt 20, and a spring 21 is provided between the baffle 19 and the nut of the bolt 20. The diameter of the through hole on the baffle 19 is larger than the diameter of the bolt 20, so that it can directly act on the movable detection plate 6 through the elastic force of the spring 21, and the movable detection plate 6 can be adaptively adjusted to fit the baffle 19 so that the movable detection plate 6 is in a vertical state. By adjusting the depth of the bolt 20 screwed into the movable detection plate 6, the fit of the movable detection plate 6 can be adjusted to ensure measurement accuracy. The track groove 16 slides and matches on the linear track 17, limits the slide 15 circumferentially, and guides it in a straight line direction to prevent it from rotating.

[0041] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a plurality of mounting holes 22 are provided on one side of the linear rail 17 along the length direction, and the limit switch 18 is connected to the mounting hole 22 by a bolt 20. The position of the limit switch 18 can be adjusted when measuring different workpieces 30 to be measured, so as to avoid the ball screw module 13 running too long a distance each time when measuring small-sized workpieces, thereby improving measurement efficiency and saving energy.

[0042] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a slider 23 is further provided on the lead screw of the ball screw module 13, and the slide 15 is slidably mounted on the lead screw. The slider 23 is closer to the servo motor 14 than the slide 15. A spring 21 in a compressed state is connected between the slider 23 and the slide 15 via a slot, so that the spring 21 always produces a tail-end resistance against the slide 15, facilitating a better fit between the mobile detection plate 6 and the end face of the workpiece 30 to be measured, further ensuring measurement accuracy. Among them, the two sides of the slider 23 are respectively connected to the slide 15 by a connecting plate 25, and the connecting plate 25 is provided with a waist-shaped hole 26. The bolt 20 of the slider 23 and the slide 15 is slidably mounted in the waist-shaped hole 26, which can not only ensure that the slider 23 drives the slide 15 to move along the axial direction of the lead screw, but also keep the spring 21 in a compressed state when the mobile detection plate 6 fits the end face of the workpiece 30 to be measured.

[0043] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, a pressure sensor 24 is connected to the slider 23. The pressure sensor 24 can contact the slide 15 to apply a squeezing force to the slide 15 and the mobile detection plate 6, so that the two ends of the workpiece 30 to be measured are fully in contact with the mobile detection plate 6 and the fixed detection plate 3, respectively, to avoid inaccurate measurement data caused by virtual contact. The pressure sensor 24 is connected to the control host box 2. When the pressure sensor 24 senses pressure, the distance sensor 12 outputs an accurate distance value. The pressure sensor 24 can also be a laser distance sensor. When the laser distance sensor outputs a distance value of 0, the distance sensor 12 connected to the mobile detection plate 6 outputs an accurate distance value. The spacing between the slider 23 and the slide 15 is 3mm-6mm, preferably 5mm.

[0044] As an optional solution, in this embodiment, the test platform 1 and the control host box 2 are both mounted on a mobile cart 29. The control host box 2 is equipped with a touch screen display, a failed product alarm indicator, and a clear alarm button. The control host box 2 is placed on one side of the ball screw module 13 and is connected to the various sensors and drive modules via cables. It is used to receive and process sensor signals and calculate and display the length dimensions of the tested product.

[0045] As an optional solution, the four corners of the test platform 1 in this embodiment are connected to a base 28 via height adjustment bolts 27. A mobile trolley 29 is preferably provided with an anti-static substrate to prevent static electricity. The test platform 1 is positioned on the trolley 29 using a four-point positioning method. The level of the test platform 1 can be adjusted using the height adjustment bolts 27. The wheels of the trolley 29 are preferably universal wheels with brakes for ease of movement and interference resistance. The base 28 of the test platform 1 is connected to a shock-absorbing pad to ensure stability during operation and movement. The test platform 1 has a measuring stroke of at least 500 mm and is suitable for a wide variety of workpieces 30 to be tested, covering a wide range of sizes.

[0046] This embodiment proposes a length testing tool that adapts to the measurement needs of different types of objects through modular design and flexible sensor configuration, reducing dependence on special tooling. The application of a high-precision positioning system and a fine adjustment mechanism significantly improves the accuracy of the measurement results, especially when processing objects with complex geometric shapes. It is equipped with a shock-absorbing base 28, a rigid bracket and an anti-static base plate mobile trolley to further improve structural stability and achieve flexible workshop layout.

[0047] Example 2

[0048] This embodiment provides a method for using a length testing tool, which is specifically as follows:

[0049] Place the length test fixture on the mobile trolley 29, move the mobile trolley 29 to the designated position and lock the universal wheel. First, turn on the servo motor 14, fit the mobile detection plate 6 with the surface of the fixed detection plate 3, and clear the measurement data of the control host box 2. Then adjust the installation position of the positioning pin 11 and the V-shaped fixture 7 according to the length of the workpiece 30 to be measured, place the workpiece 30 to be measured on the V-shaped fixture 7, turn on the switch of the control host box 2, and after the workpiece sensing sensor 9 detects that the workpiece 30 to be measured is placed, it sends a signal to the control host box 2. The control host box 2 controls the servo motor 14 to start, driving the slide 15 and the slider 23 on the ball screw module to move, and the pressure sensor 24 and the grating sensor move accordingly. During the movement, the grating sensor feeds back the position information of the slider 23 to the control host box 2 in real time to achieve the length measurement of the workpiece 30 to be measured. The mobile detection plate 6 can make initial contact during the movement of the ball screw module (there may be uneven contact), and then the slider 23 continues to move on the ball screw module, and the spring 21 squeezes the slide 15 where the mobile detection plate 6 is located. When the two ends of the workpiece 30 to be measured are fully in contact with the mobile detection plate 6 and the fixed detection plate 3 respectively, the pressure sensor 24 contacts the slide 15 and transmits the signal to the control host box 2. The control host box 2 records the measurement data of the grating sensor and stops the rotation of the servo motor 14. The measurement data obtained at this time is more accurate measurement data. The control host box 2 collects the data from each sensor, calculates the exact length of the workpiece 30 to be measured after algorithm processing, and displays the measurement results on the display. After measuring a workpiece, if the workpiece passes, the ball screw module drives the mobile detection plate 6 to reset to its initial position, i.e., the position of the limit switch 18. When the slider 23 of the ball screw module approaches the limit switch 18, a signal is sent to the control main box 2, causing the servo motor 14 to stop rotating, preventing the slider 23 from exceeding the travel range and ensuring the safety and stability of the measurement process. If the workpiece fails, the alarm indicator on the control main box 2 emits sound and light to prompt the operator to place the workpiece with the failed products. At this time, the operator needs to press the alarm release button to resume operation, avoiding the operator having to place the workpiece with the qualified products.

[0050] This embodiment can be used for automatic detection of the length dimensions of bushings, oil reservoirs, and connecting rod assemblies in automobile shock absorber precision machinery, thereby realizing rapid measurement and data determination of the length dimensions of bushings, oil reservoirs, and connecting rods.
