Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bending and springback detection, and particularly relates to a spring clip bending and springback performance detection device. BACKGROUND

[0002] The automobile brake spring clip (also known as brake ring clip) is a key elastic element in the brake system and is widely used for fixing and connecting between the brake disc and the brake caliper. The bending and springback performance of the brake spring clip refers to the deformation ability of the spring clip under external force and the ability to return to the initial state, which is the basis for the long-term stable operation of the brake spring clip. If the springback performance of the spring clip is insufficient, the brake caliper may not be fully reset, and even brake jam may occur, which may directly affect the normal operation of the brake system and threaten the safety of driving.

[0003] The related art can refer to the Chinese invention patent with the publication number CN118243529B, which discloses a metal plate bending and springback performance detection device, which comprises a rack and a controller. The rack is provided with a sliding rail, and the sliding rail is provided with a sliding frame. The sliding frame is provided with a rack and a pushing frame. One end of the sliding rail is provided with a feeding frame, and the other end is provided with a collecting frame. A rotating wheel is arranged in the rack. The rotating wheel is provided with a push rod. The free end of the push rod is provided with a pressure rod and a pressure sensor. The pressure rod is located above the sliding rail. A driving mechanism is also arranged in the rack. The output end of the driving mechanism is connected with the rotating wheel and the sliding frame. Scanning devices are arranged on both sides of the pressure rod. The scanning devices, the pressure sensor and the driving mechanism are electrically connected with the controller.

[0004] The patent and the prior art have the following technical problems in the actual use process:

[0005] The prior art can only detect the bending and springback performance of the whole spring clip. However, in the actual detection process, there are differences between the overall bending and springback performance and the local springback performance of the brake spring clip. Different parts of the brake spring clip (such as the center and the edge of the brake spring clip) may have different deformation and springback performance when subjected to external force. Therefore, simply detecting the overall bending and springback performance of the spring clip cannot completely reflect the local springback of the brake spring clip. At the same time, the structure of the key springback part of the brake spring clip is complex and the components are small, which makes the detection difficult. The current detection equipment needs to test the whole and local parts of the brake spring clip multiple times, and cannot detect the whole and local parts of the brake spring clip synchronously, so the test efficiency is low.

[0032] A vice rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic end of the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4, a bottom block 41 is installed on the bottom of the vice rod, a ranging frame 5 is sleeved on the vice rod, the ranging frame 5 is sleeved on the main rod, the ranging frame 5 is located above the reference nut 32, the laser ranging sensor 33 is used for measuring the distance between the ranging frame 5 and the reference nut 32, a connecting rod 6 is hingedly connected to both sides of the main rod, a sleeve insertion assembly 7 capable of swinging is installed at the bottom end of the connecting rod 6, a spring clip can be inserted into the sleeve insertion assembly 7, a hanging spring 14 is arranged between the ranging frame 5 and the inner top of the rack 1, and the elastic force of the hanging spring 14 is the same as the gravity of the ranging frame 5, the connecting rod 6 and the sleeve insertion assembly 7.

[0033] The socket assembly 7 includes a swing frame 75 hinged to the bottom end of the connecting rod 6. A plug 71 is hinged to the side of the swing frame 75 near the rangefinder 5. A slot 72 is provided inside the plug 71, and a retaining spring can be inserted into the slot 72. A sliding frame 73 is fixedly installed on the top of the plug 71. A limit slider 74 is slidably connected inside the sliding frame 73. The distance from the hinge point of the swing frame 75 and the connecting rod 6 to the spring-loaded part 102 is greater than the distance from the hinge point of the swing frame 75 and the plug 71 to the spring-loaded part 102.

[0034] The swing frame 75 is hinged to a distance measuring plate 76, and the other end of the distance measuring plate 76 is hinged to a hinge block 77. The hinge block 77 is hinged to the bottom end of the connecting rod 6. The swing frame 75 and the hinge block 77 are both provided with pin holes, and a pin 78 is inserted into the pin hole.

[0035] The detection steps of this invention are as follows:

[0036] Clamping: Figure 1 The retaining spring is placed on two sets of support platforms 2, and then two plugs 71 are respectively inserted into the two sides of the retaining spring body 101, so that the spring return part 102 is located in the swing frame 75 and above the distance measuring plate 76, thus completing the clamping.

[0037] Overall bending and springback detection: Rotate the pressure rod 34 to set it longitudinally, and slide the limit slider 74 towards the swing frame 75, so that the limit slider 74 blocks the swing frame 75. At this time, there is no swing between the swing frame 75 and the plug 71. Then control the large drive hydraulic cylinder 3 to run. The large drive hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the main rod to descend, and the main rod drives the pressure rod 34 to descend. When the pressure rod 34 presses against the middle of the snap ring body 101, the large drive hydraulic cylinder 3 stops running. Then rotate the reference nut 32 so that the reference nut 32 presses against the bottom of the distance measuring frame 5 to complete the reference adjustment; then control The large driving hydraulic cylinder 3 and the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4 operate simultaneously. The large driving hydraulic cylinder 3 applies downward pressure to the snap ring body 101 through the pressure rod 34, applying the main load. Meanwhile, the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the auxiliary rod to rise. The auxiliary rod drives the measuring frame 5 to move upward through the bottom support block 41. The measuring frame 5 drives the connecting rod 6 to rise. The connecting rod 6 provides the overall driving force to the socket assembly 7. The socket assembly 7 provides the snap ring body 101 with a bending driving force from both sides to the middle through the plug 71. The snap ring body 101 is driven by three points of bending, which can complete the bending of the snap ring body 101 more efficiently.

[0038] When the clamping spring body 101 is bent by 10°, the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4 quickly removes the load, the auxiliary rod quickly descends, at this time the range frame 5 is only supported by the clamping spring piece, the large driving hydraulic cylinder 3 slowly removes the load, and the clamping spring piece is stably reset, when the pressing rod 34 rises to the reference adjusting position, the pressing rod 34 stops rising, at this time if the clamping spring piece rebound amount is not up to the standard, the two ends of the clamping spring body 101 will be bent upwards, the range frame 5 is pushed up through the sleeve insertion assembly 7 and the connecting rod 6, a distance is formed between the range frame 5 and the reference nut 32, the distance is detected through the laser ranging sensor 33, and then the corresponding bending angle is calculated according to the trigonometric function mathematical model.

[0039] After the overall bending and rebound detection, the pressing rod 34 is rotated, the pressing rod 34 is distributed horizontally, then the large driving hydraulic cylinder 3 is controlled to operate, the large driving hydraulic cylinder 3 drives the pressing rod 34 to descend, the pressing rod 34 is pressed on the plug 71, the two ends of the clamping spring piece are flattened, the overall detection does not affect the local detection, then the limiting sliding block 74 is pushed to slide, the limiting sliding block 74 is away from the swing frame 75, at this time the swing frame 75 can swing relative to the plug 71, the reference nut 32 is rotated to be tightly attached to the bottom of the range frame 5, and the reference positioning is completed.

[0040] Then the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4 is controlled to operate simultaneously, the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4 drives the auxiliary rod to rise, the auxiliary rod drives the range frame 5 to move upwards through the bottom supporting block 41, the range frame 5 drives the connecting rod 6 to rise, the connecting rod 6 drives the swing frame 75 to swing upwards through the hinged block 77, the swing frame 75 bends the rebound part 102 upwards, because the distance from the hinged place of the swing frame 75 and the connecting rod 6 to the clamping spring rebound part 102 is greater than the distance from the hinged place of the swing frame 75 and the plug 71 to the clamping spring rebound part 102, therefore the labor-saving effect can be achieved, the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4 can stably press and bend the rebound part 102, after a certain angle is pressed and bent, the small driving hydraulic cylinder 4 slowly removes the load until descending to the reference position, the swing frame 75 swings to be horizontal with the plug 71, finally the limiting sliding block 74 is pushed to lock the swing frame 75, the bolt 78 is pulled out, the hinged block 77 is separated from the swing frame 75, then the range frame 5 is pushed upwards by hand, the range frame 5 drives the connecting rod 6 to rise, the connecting rod 6 drives the hinged block 77 to rise, the hinged block 77 drives the measuring plate 76 to swing upwards, when the measuring plate 76 swings to the rebound part 102, at this time a distance is formed between the range frame 5 and the reference nut 32, the distance is detected through the laser ranging sensor 33, and then the corresponding bending angle is calculated according to the trigonometric function mathematical model.

[0041] Therefore, the clamping spring body 101 and the rebound part 102 can be detected for bending and rebound performance at one time, the detection is comprehensive, all data detection can be completed only through one laser ranging sensor 33, the detection system is simple, and the measurement is reliable.

[0042] As an embodiment of the present application, the opening of the slot 72 is provided with a flared structure, through which the plug 71 is inserted into the spring clip.

[0043] As an embodiment of the present application, the pressing rod 34 is in the shape of an I-beam, and the length of the pressing rod 34 is greater than the length of the end of the plug close to the pressing rod 34, through which the pressing rod 34 can stably press the plug 71.

[0044] As an embodiment of the present application, the top of the support table 2 is provided with a positioning slot 21, which limits the front end of the spring clip, through which the spring clip can be positioned more conveniently.

[0045] Further, the inner top of the rack 1 is fixedly provided with a lifting screw 11, the bottom end of the lifting screw 11 is threadedly connected with a lifting nut 12, the bottom end of the lifting nut 12 is rotatably provided with a connecting block 13, and a hanging spring 14 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting block 13.

[0046] Since the gravity of the ranging frame 5, the connecting rod 6 and the sleeve plug assembly 7 is applied to the spring clip after the load is removed, the gravity is too large to flatten the spring clip and affect the measurement, through the arrangement of the hanging spring 14, the gravity of the ranging frame 5, the connecting rod 6 and the sleeve plug assembly 7 can be balanced, the influence of the gravity on the measurement result can be eliminated, and the measurement accuracy can be improved.

[0047] Since the reference position of the ranging frame 5 is different due to the different widths of the spring clip, in order to ensure that the hanging spring 14 is not compressed or stretched, according to the reference position of the ranging frame 5, the lifting nut 12 is rotated, the lifting nut 12 is lifted under the action of the lifting screw 11, the connecting block 13 is lifted by the lifting nut 12, the distance between the connecting block 13 and the ranging frame 5 is changed, the hanging spring 14 is kept at a stable length and is not compressed or stretched, and the gravity balance is more stable.

[0048] As an embodiment of the present application, the outer side of the main rod is provided with a locking external thread 35, the locking external thread 35 is located above the pressing rod 34, the outer side of the locking external thread 35 is threadedly connected with a locking nut 36, and the locking nut 36 is located below the adjusting external thread 31.

[0049] After the angle adjustment of the pressing rod 34 is completed, the locking nut 36 is rotated downward, the locking nut 36 is tightly pressed on the pressing rod 34, the pressing rod 34 is locked through the friction force, and the angle change of the pressing rod 34 in the detection process is prevented, and the detection stability is high.

[0050] The foregoing description of the disclosed embodiments enables a person skilled in the art to make or use the application. Modifications of these embodiments will occur to persons of skill in the art, and, while certain modifications are discussed, it is desired to be protected in accordance with the spirit and scope of the application. Therefore, the application is not limited to the specific embodiments shown and described, but only by the scope of the appended claims, unless otherwise specified.
