[0006] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a technical solution: a screw locking error prevention and leakage prevention automatic detection tool, including a positioning base plate, a positioning column, and a proximity switch;

[0007] The positioning posts are arranged at the bottom of the positioning base plate and at the four corners of the positioning base plate. The proximity switch is fixed on the positioning base plate and extends downward. A battery compartment is provided on the top of the positioning base plate. The battery inside the battery compartment is electrically connected to the proximity switch.

[0008] Furthermore, a handle is provided on the top of the positioning base plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning base plate is made of aluminum alloy.

[0011] Furthermore, the surface of the positioning base plate is anodized.

[0012] Furthermore, the positioning column is made of POM material.

[0013] The advantages of the present invention compared with the prior art are:

[0014] The present invention adopts a proximity switch to perform automatic detection, and there is no need to manually check the locking conditions of the screws one by one, which greatly improves the detection efficiency and reduces the errors and omissions that may be caused by manual detection.

[0015] The present invention accurately positions the inspected product through the positioning column and accurately detects the proximity switch, and can accurately determine whether the screws are mis-installed or missing, thereby effectively improving product quality.

[0016] The present invention uses an aluminum alloy positioning base and POM positioning columns, which not only ensure the strength and stability of the tooling, but also reduce weight and facilitate operator use. Furthermore, the weight-reducing through-grooves on the positioning base and the anodized surface treatment further optimize the tooling's performance.

[0017] The present invention enables rapid and accurate detection of screw installation conditions, which not only significantly improves production efficiency and reduces labor costs, but also reduces rework and scrap caused by missed screws, further improving the overall economic benefits of the enterprise.

[0023] In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "upper", "lower", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inside", "outside", "vertical", "circumferential", etc., indicating the orientation or position relationship, are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0024] In the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integral connection; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; or internal communication between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on specific circumstances.

[0025] The following is a detailed description of an automatic detection tool for preventing errors and leaks in screw locking according to the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Combined with attachment Figure 1-4 , the present invention is introduced in detail.

[0027] The invention discloses an automatic detection tool for screw locking, error prevention and leakage prevention, which mainly comprises a positioning base plate 1, a positioning column 2, a proximity switch 3 and other components.

[0028] The positioning base plate 1 is the basic support structure for the entire tooling. A battery compartment 4 is located on its top. The batteries within this compartment are electrically connected to the proximity switch 3, providing the necessary electrical energy for operation. Several weight-reducing through-slots 6 are also provided on the positioning base plate 1 to reduce the overall weight of the tooling and facilitate handling and use by operators. Furthermore, the positioning base plate 1 is constructed from an aluminum alloy, a material with advantages such as light weight, high strength, and corrosion resistance, meeting the requirements of the tooling in actual use. Furthermore, the surface of the positioning base plate 1 is anodized, further enhancing its wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and aesthetics.

[0029] Positioning columns 2 are located at the bottom and four corners of positioning baseplate 1. They are used to position the product being inspected, ensuring accurate positioning during inspection and improving detection accuracy. Positioning columns 2 are made of POM, a material with excellent self-lubrication, wear resistance, high strength, and fatigue resistance, ensuring that positioning columns 2 maintain their performance over long-term use.

[0030] Proximity switch 3 is fixed to positioning base plate 1 and extends downward. When the product being inspected is placed on the fixture, proximity switch 3 detects whether the screws on the product are properly tightened. If the screws are properly tightened, proximity switch 3 will generate a corresponding signal. If the screws are incorrectly installed or missing, proximity switch 3 will not generate a correct signal, thus achieving the purpose of automatic detection.

[0031] The specific implementation process of the screw locking error-proof and leakage-proof automatic detection tool of the present invention is as follows:

[0032] Install the positioning columns 2 at the four corners of the bottom of the positioning base plate 1, ensuring they are securely mounted and positioned accurately. Secure the proximity switch 3 to the positioning base plate 1 and adjust its downward extension to accurately detect the tightening of the screws on the product being inspected. Install the battery compartment 4 on the top of the positioning base plate 1 and install the battery therein. Connect the circuit between the battery and the proximity switch 3 to ensure proper operation. Install a handle 5 on the top of the positioning base plate 1 to facilitate handling and handling.

[0033] The product to be inspected is placed on the fixture and positioned using positioning column 2 to ensure accurate placement. Proximity switch 3 is activated to detect the tightening of the screws on the product. If proximity switch 3 emits a correct signal, the screws are properly tightened and the product passes the test. If it does not, it indicates that a screw is incorrectly installed or missing, and the operator needs to inspect and correct the product.

[0034] The present invention and its embodiments are described above. This description is not restrictive. The drawings show only one embodiment of the present invention, and the actual structure is not limited thereto. In short, if a person skilled in the art is inspired by this and, without departing from the purpose of the present invention, designs structures and embodiments similar to this technical solution without inventiveness, they shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
