Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle body large component contour detection technology, and in particular to an automatic inspection device for the contour of large vehicle body components. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of rail transit vehicles, ensuring that the vehicle's outer contour meets the standard requirements is fundamental to the safe passage of rail vehicles without encroaching on track clearance and maintaining a good appearance. However, welding deformation after welding is a common problem in rail vehicles. To ensure the outer contour of the car body, the first step is to inspect the contour after the components are welded. During the inspection process, precise and convenient inspection methods should be adopted to provide an accurate data basis for subsequent adjustment of car body components.
[0003] Currently, after the automatic welding of major vehicle body components is completed, the contour inspection templates used are mostly thin aluminum alloy plates. This requires manual measurement by bending over near the inspection area and visually reading the measurements with a steel ruler. The vehicle body components involve numerous measurements, and the human body is in an uncomfortable posture during measurement, resulting in high labor intensity. Furthermore, the width of major rail vehicle components exceeds 2 meters, making it difficult and inconvenient to measure deformation data in the central area. This can easily mislead measurement personnel, leading to incorrect readings, affecting measurement accuracy, increasing measurement errors, and ultimately impacting subsequent adjustments to the contour dimensions of the vehicle body components.
[0004] The commonly used aluminum alloy templates have low structural strength and cannot be held by a single person. When measuring some long and large parts with a large width, it usually requires two people to work together, one person visually measuring and counting, and the other person assisting in supporting the template, which is very inconvenient.
[0005] The existing measurement process involves two people holding the template while one person lies prone on the workpiece to take measurements. After visually reading the measurements, the data must be recorded on a paper measurement sheet before further data analysis can be performed to locate the out-of-tolerance areas of the vehicle body parts and make adjustments accordingly. This process is cumbersome, relies entirely on manual labor, and is inefficient and unstable.
[0006] Existing measurement techniques have the following drawbacks:
[0007] 1. The technical structure is simple, consisting of only an aluminum alloy template for laser cutting and a 150mm ruler. During the measurement process, the distance between the workpiece measurement point and the template outline needs to be manually measured using a steel ruler. The degree of automation is low, the detection efficiency is low, and the measurement results rely on manual visual reading, which is detrimental to the accuracy of the measurement data.
[0008] 2. When measuring long components of aluminum alloy car bodies, some locations are limited by structure and space, making manual measurement inconvenient. The measurement process requires the operator to lie on the workpiece and bend over to take the measurement readings, while another person assists by supporting the template.
[0009] 3. It requires a large number of personnel (at least two people are needed to work together, one of whom lies on the workpiece to measure the readings, and the other person assists in supporting the template), resulting in high labor and time costs.
[0010] 4. To ensure the strength and ease of manual handling of the template, additional support structures beyond the template outline are required during the design process, resulting in a larger template and the need to use more materials.
[0011] 5. When the existing template is tilted, manual measurement using a ruler will produce errors, affecting the judgment of the adjustment of the aluminum alloy vehicle body. Summary of the Invention
[0012] The purpose of this invention is to provide: An automatic inspection device for the contour of large vehicle body components, and related technologies, are disclosed to address technical problems such as low automation, low inspection efficiency, reliance on manual visual reading of measurement results, and inaccurate measurement data, or combinations thereof.

[0048] Example 2 The automatic inspection device for the contour of large components of the vehicle body of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0049] like Figures 1-27 As shown, this invention provides an automatic inspection device for the contour of large vehicle body components, including a test template 2, a template holder 1, and multiple measuring devices 3; the structure is as follows. Figure 1-2 As shown; the main structure connection method is as follows Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown.
[0050] The lower contour of the inspection template 2 is drawn based on the standard dimensions and outline of the major vehicle body components. The upper part of the inspection template 2 is embedded in the template fixing bracket 1 for installation and positioning. The outer surface of the inspection template 2 is flush with the outer surface of the template fixing bracket 1, and weight is reduced by openings. Both the inspection template 2 and the template fixing bracket 1 are provided with threaded holes, and are fastened together by template fixing bolts 4. This structure allows for the inspection of different components by replacing the inspection template 2, such as... Figure 5 As shown.
[0051] The template holder 1 has oval holes at both ends for hanging and storing the inspection template 2, and can be held by personnel during measurement. The template holder 1 has a long sliding groove in the middle, and the measuring device 3 is installed in conjunction with the long sliding groove. The position of the measuring device 3 on the inspection template 2 can be adjusted according to the size of large components or the location of welds on site. The template holder 1 has a notch at one end for disassembling and installing the measuring device 3. The measuring device 3 has threaded holes, and the inspection template 2 has a long sliding groove. The device fixing bolts 5 are inserted for fastening, which can be used for moving and fixing the measuring device 3. Figure 6 As shown.
[0052] Measuring device 3 is installed on inspection template 2 and is used to measure the contour of vehicle body parts. Its components and structure are as follows: Figures 7-11 As shown.
[0053] The measuring device 3 uses a detachable and assembleable outer shell to cover the internal components. The outer shell is divided into an upper shell 3-7 and a lower shell 3-8.
[0054] The upper shell 3-7 has a limiting structure 3-14 on its upper part, into which the digital tube electronic screen 3-5 can be inserted. The front of the upper shell 3-7 has a first knob mounting port 3-17, which is recessed and has a round hole. The first knob 3-3 can contact the sliding connecting plate 3-2 through the first knob mounting port 3-17. The back of the upper shell 3-7 has a large cylinder 3-16 and a small cylindrical hole 3-15, both threaded. The small cylindrical hole is used to connect the upper shell 3-7 and the lower shell 3-8, and the large cylindrical hole is used to support and assemble the sliding positioning block 3-6. See the structural diagram of the upper shell 3-7. Figure 12 .
[0055] The lower shell 3-8 has a small cylinder 3-19 on its back that mates with the small cylindrical hole in the upper shell 3-7. A square hole 3-18 is located at the bottom, allowing the sliding positioning block 3-6 to be inserted. A notch 3-20 is located at the bottom, allowing the sliding connecting plate 3-2 to be adjusted vertically. See the structural diagram of the lower shell 3-8. Figure 13 The upper shell 3-7 and the lower shell 3-8 are fastened together by outer shell fixing bolts 3-10, which pass through the large cylindrical hole in the lower shell 3-8 and are then fastened to the large cylindrical hole 3-16 with threaded holes on the upper shell 3-7. The connection structure is as follows: Figures 14-15 As shown.
[0056] The measuring device 3 is equipped with two sets of infrared laser ranging modules 3-1 for measuring the distance to the contour of the target component. It also has a built-in gravity acceleration sensor to monitor the template status. The sliding connecting plate 3-2 is connected to the upper digital tube electronic screen 3-5 via a data output line. The digital tube electronic screen 3-5 can display the measurement data on both sides of the weld in real time and can analyze and calculate the measurement data through a PLC data acquisition system, thereby calculating the difference between the standard contour distance and the actual measured distance. When the template is in use, it enters the measurement mode. When the gravity acceleration sensor detects that the angle of the detection template has reached a measurable value (i.e., when the Z-axis component is 100% ± 1%), it locks the measurement dimension, ultimately achieving the measurement of the component contour. Its composition is as follows: Figure 16 As shown.
[0057] The sliding positioning block 3-6 of the measuring device 3 has four countersunk holes, which are tightened by screwing the sliding block positioning bolt 3-11 into the threaded cylinder in the upper shell 3-7. Figure 17 As shown.
[0058] The sliding connecting plate 3-2 has threaded holes. The infrared laser ranging module 3-1 is fixed to the sliding connecting plate 3-2 by the module fixing bolts 3-13, and the lower shell 3-8 is fixed to the sliding connecting plate 3-2 by the module shell fixing bolts 3-12. Figure 18 As shown.
[0059] The sliding positioning block 3-6 has a groove in the middle, which limits the left and right movement of the sliding connecting plate 3-2. The sliding connecting plate 3-2 can move up and down in the groove of the sliding positioning block 3-6. The sliding positioning block 3-6 has a circular hole in the middle, through which the first knob 3-3 passes. Its screw part passes through the elongated groove on the sliding connecting plate 3-2 and screws into the threaded hole in the sliding positioning block 3-6. After tightening, a clamping force is generated between the knob and the sliding positioning block 3-6, thereby fixing the sliding connecting plate 3-2 and fixing the positions of the lower infrared laser ranging module 3-1, module housing 3-9 (used to encapsulate the ranging module 3-1), module fixing bolt 3-13, and module housing fixing bolt 3-12. After the first knob 3-3 is loosened, the sliding connecting plate 3-2 can be adjusted up and down in the groove of the sliding positioning block 3-6 through the elongated groove, thereby adjusting the vertical position of the laser sensor and its mating parts, realizing the measurement of different positions, heights, and different components. Figures 19-23 As shown.
[0060] The sliding positioning block 3-6 has protrusions on both the top and bottom, allowing it to slide left and right within the groove of the template holder 1. The template holder 1 limits the vertical position of the sliding positioning block 3-6. The second knob 3-4 passes through the elongated groove 3-21 of the template holder 1 and can be screwed into the threaded hole of the sliding positioning block 3-6. After tightening, it generates a clamping force between the knob, the template holder 1, and the sliding positioning block 3-6, thereby fixing the sliding positioning block 3-6 and achieving the purpose of adjusting the left and right position of the measuring device 3. Figures 24-27 As shown.
