[0027] In an embodiment of the present utility model, as Figures 1 to 5 shown, a checking fixture for the outer panel of an automobile roof cover is provided, which includes a workbench 10, a positioning mechanism, a clamping mechanism and a detecting mechanism. A placing seat 11 for placing the outer panel of the roof cover is provided on the workbench 10. The positioning mechanism includes a plurality of groups of positioning components 20. The plurality of groups of positioning components 20 are arranged on the workbench 10 and surround the inner side of the placing seat 11 for positioning the outer panel of the roof cover. The clamping mechanism includes a plurality of groups of clamping components 30. The plurality of groups of clamping components 30 are arranged on the workbench 10 and surround the outer side of the placing seat 11 for clamping the outer panel of the roof cover on the placing seat 11. The detecting mechanism includes a plurality of groups of first detecting components 40 and second detecting components 50. The plurality of groups of first detecting components 40 are equidistantly arranged on the workbench 10 and are located above the placing seat 11. The first detecting component 40 includes a first detector 41 for detecting the surface of the outer panel of the automobile roof cover. The plurality of groups of second detecting components 50 are equidistantly arranged on the workbench 10 and are located above the placing seat 11. The second detecting component 50 includes a second detector 51 for detecting the side surface of the outer panel of the automobile roof cover.

[0028] By arranging a plurality of groups of first detecting components 40 and second detecting components 50, during detection, the outer panel of the roof cover is placed on the placing seat 11, positioned by a plurality of groups of positioning components, and then clamped by a plurality of groups of clamping components to complete the fixation of the outer panel of the roof cover. Then, the surface and side surface of the outer panel of the roof cover are respectively detected by the first detecting components 40 and second detecting components 50 around the placing seat 11. The staff respectively summarize and analyze the data on the first detector 41 and the second detector 51 and obtain the detection result, which simplifies the detection steps, improves the detection efficiency. At the same time, by detecting the outer panel of the roof cover by the first detecting components 40 and the second detecting components 50, the manual intervention is reduced, the detection error is reduced, and the detection accuracy is improved.

[0029] Furthermore, the first detecting component 40 includes a first fixing seat 42 and a first connecting plate 43. The first fixing seat 42 is arranged on the workbench 10. The first connecting plate 43 is horizontally arranged at the top end of the first fixing seat 42. At least one group of first side plates 44 is arranged on the outer side of the first connecting plate 43, and the first side plates 44 are located above the placing seat 11. The first detector 41 is located on the first side plates 44. When the outer panel of the roof cover is externally placed on the placing seat 11, it is positioned by the positioning components and clamped and fixed by the clamping components, and then the surface of the outer panel of the roof cover is detected by the detection end at the end of the first detector 41 without manual intervention, reducing the generation of detection errors.

[0030] Even further, the first detector 41 is a first dial indicator, and the first detector 41 is vertically arranged with respect to the placing seat 11. By arranging the first detector 41 vertically with respect to the placing seat 11, the detection end of the first detector 41 can be perpendicular to the placing seat 11, improving the detection quality.

[0031] Furthermore, the second detection component 50 includes a second fixed seat 52 and a second connecting plate 53. The second fixed seat 52 is arranged on the workbench 10. The second connecting plate 53 is horizontally arranged at the top end of the second fixed seat 52. An inclined second side plate 54 is arranged outside the second connecting plate 53, and the second side plate 54 is located above the placing seat 11. The second detector 51 is located on the second side plate 54. When the outer top cover plate is placed outside the placing seat 11, position positioning is carried out through the positioning component and clamping fixation is carried out through the clamping component. Since the second side plate 54 and the second connecting plate 53 are inclined, the detection end at the end of the second detector 51 contacts the side surface of the outer top cover plate, so as to detect the side surface of the outer top cover plate without manual intervention and reduce the generation of detection errors.

[0032] Furthermore, the second detector 51 is a second dial indicator, and the second detector 51 is inclined with respect to the placing seat 11. A detection block 55 is connected to the end of the second detector 51. The detection block 55 is arranged at the bottom end of the second side plate 54. An adjustment knob 56 is arranged between the detection block 55 and the second side plate 54. One end of the adjustment knob 56 is threadedly penetrated through the second side plate 54 and abuts against one side of the detection block 55. Due to the inclined arrangement of the second detector 51 with respect to the placing seat, the detection end at the end of the second detector 51 forms a certain inclination angle with the side surface of the outer top cover plate. Then, through the cooperation of the detection block 55 and the second detector 51, the side surface of the outer top cover plate is measured without manual intervention and the generation of detection errors is reduced.

[0033] Furthermore, the detection block 55 has an L-shaped structure. The top end of the detection block 55 abuts against the end of the second detector 51. The middle part of the detection block 55 is connected to the bottom of the second side plate 54 through a rotating shaft. The bottom end of the detection block 55 is provided with a protruding probe head 551. By contacting the side surface of the outer top cover plate with the probe head 551 of the detection block 55, under the action of the rotating shaft, the end of the detection block 55 far from the probe head 551 contacts and presses against the end of the second detector 51. The end of the second detector 51 is squeezed to obtain detection data, and then the data of multiple second detectors 51 are summarized and analyzed, so as to measure the side surface of the outer top cover plate without manual intervention and reduce the generation of detection errors.

[0034] Furthermore, the positioning component 20 includes a third fixed seat 21. The third fixed seat 21 is arranged on the workbench 10, and a positioning column 22 is connected to the top end of the third fixed seat 21. An arc part 23 is arranged at the top end of the positioning column 22. When positioning the outer top cover plate, the position of the outer top cover plate is positioned through the positioning column 22, which simplifies the positioning steps. Also, the arc part 23 contacts the outer top cover plate to avoid scratches when the positioning column 22 contacts the outer top cover plate.

[0035] Further, the clamping member 30 includes a fourth fixing base 31 and a fifth fixing base 32. The fourth fixing base 31 and the fifth fixing base 32 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the placing base 11. An installation plate 33 is provided on the fourth fixing base 31, a clamp 34 is provided on the installation plate 33, and a limiting block 35 is provided at one end of the clamp 34. A handle 36 for rotating the clamp 34 is provided between the clamp 34 and the installation plate 33. A limiting frame 37 is provided on the fifth fixing base 32. The top end of the limiting frame 37 abuts against the limiting block 35. When clamping, place the outer top cover plate on the placing base 11, rotate the handle 36, the handle 36 drives the clamp 34 to rotate, so that the limiting block 35 abuts against the limiting frame 37, and then the outer ejector rod plate is fixed on the placing base 11.

[0036] Further, a push rod 12 is provided on one side of the workbench 10. Four groups of rollers 13 are circumferentially provided below the workbench 10. Brake pads for fixing the rollers 13 are provided on the rollers 13. When the inspection tool moves to a specified position, the rollers 13 are fixed by the brake pads to prevent the rollers 13 from moving easily. By providing the push rod 12 and the rollers 13, it is convenient for the staff to move the inspection tool and improves the convenience of the inspection tool.

[0037] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
