Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of muffler inspection tools, in particular to a multi-purpose muffler inspection tool. Background Art
[0002] A muffler refers to an air flow duct that transmits noise. It can use noise reduction devices such as pipes and elbows with sound-absorbing linings, or pipes with sudden changes in cross-sectional area and other discontinuous acoustic impedance to attenuate or reflect the noise in the pipe. It is widely used in industries such as automobile manufacturing.
[0003] At present, in the production and inspection process of mufflers, researchers in related fields have developed targeted inspection fixtures. For example, the patent document with application number 202321767758.9 proposes "an exhaust pipe muffler inspection fixture, characterized in that it includes a inspection fixture bottom plate, on which a vertical plate, a first support seat, a second support seat and a detection seat are arranged in a line, the vertical plate is arranged perpendicular to the inspection fixture bottom plate, and a positioning block is inlaid on the vertical plate, the positioning block protrudes to one side of the first support seat, and a plurality of mounting holes are distributed around the vertical plate on the outer periphery of the positioning block, the top surface of the first support seat has a concave first arc-shaped support surface, and the top surface of the second support seat has a concave second arc-shaped support surface, and a horizontally movable detection block is arranged on the detection seat, and the front end of the detection block in the movement direction is a cylindrical boss".

The inflation hole 12 serves as a transition channel, providing structural conditions for the existing technical equipment involved in subsequent airtightness detection to be connected to the workpiece 2 for detection.
[0033] Working principle:
[0034] For the workpiece 2 to be inspected, the two ends of the workpiece 2 are respectively inserted into the two limit sleeves 41, and then the two movable locking sleeves 42 are turned over, so that the front end of the movable locking sleeve 42 is rotated and clamped in the combination groove at the front end of the limit sleeve 41 with the pin shaft as a rotation support. The limit sleeve 41 and the movable locking sleeve 42 are magnetically connected after clamping, and the other movable locking sleeve 42 is also operated according to the above steps;
[0035] After the workpiece 2 is stably installed, the workpiece 2 needs to be inspected for size, that is, the support bases 9 in the three multifunctional inspection fixtures 5 are moved, so that the support bases 9 drive their corresponding size inspection components 10 to move under the guidance of the corresponding slide rails 6 until the size inspection components 10 are aligned with the corresponding interfaces on the workpiece 2. Thus, according to the above steps, the size inspection components 10 in the three multifunctional inspection fixtures 5 are respectively aligned with the two air inlets and one air outlet on the workpiece 2;
[0036] After the three supporting bases 9 have finished moving, the three auxiliary handles 73 that move synchronously with the three supporting bases 9 will be aligned with a limiting groove on the three locking plates 71 respectively, and then the three locking plates 72 will be flipped over in sequence so that the middle parts of the three locking plates 72 are respectively engaged in the corresponding limiting grooves;
[0037] After the work preparations before inspection are completed, use the first handle 106 in a size detection component 10 to push the guide column 102 and the detection head 104, so that the two move forward under the support of the first support sleeve 101, until the detection head 104 is inserted into the air inlet or outlet on the workpiece 2, until it is completely fitted with the measured element of the workpiece, and then observe the position of the tolerance band mark 105. When the tolerance band mark 105 is completely blocked by the detection ring 103 or the tolerance band mark 105 is completely exposed, it indicates that the workpiece size is unqualified. When the detection ring 103 blocks part of the tolerance band mark 105, it indicates that the workpiece size is qualified. Then, the remaining two size detection components 10 are also operated according to the above steps.
[0038] When the workpiece 2 needs to be tested for air tightness, the support bases 9 in the three multifunctional inspection fixtures 5 are moved so that the support bases 9 drive their corresponding air tightness detection components 11 to move under the guidance of the corresponding slide rails 6 until the air tightness detection components 11 are aligned with the corresponding interfaces on the workpiece 2. Thus, according to the above steps, the air tightness detection components 11 in the three multifunctional inspection fixtures 5 are aligned with the two air inlets and one air outlet on the workpiece 2 in sequence;
[0039] After the three supporting bases 9 have finished moving, the three auxiliary handles 73 that move synchronously with the three supporting bases 9 will be aligned with a limiting groove on the three locking plates 71 respectively, and then the three locking plates 72 will be flipped over in sequence so that the middle parts of the three locking plates 72 are respectively engaged in the corresponding limiting grooves;
[0040] After the work preparation before the test is completed, operate one cylinder 112, and the output end of the cylinder 112 pushes the silicone sealing plug 113 forward until the silicone sealing plug 113 covers and seals the corresponding air inlet or air outlet of the workpiece 2. Then, the other two cylinders 112 and the silicone sealing plug 113 are also operated according to the above steps until the two air inlets and air outlets on the workpiece 2 are covered and sealed, and then the inflation switch of the existing air tightness detector is started, and then the compressed air is filled into the workpiece 2 from the inflation hole 12 and the corresponding silicone sealing plug 113 to perform air tightness testing;
[0041] The air tightness detector automatically completes the detection and releases the pressure. After the detection is completed, the cylinder 112 is operated, and the output end of the cylinder 112 drives the silicone sealing plug 113 to reset and move.
