[0025] The product to be inspected of the present utility model is a bumper with an energy absorption box, and its bottom is provided with processing holes and nuts. The outer contour of the product to be inspected, the processing holes, nuts and energy absorption box thereon are all arranged symmetrically left and right. In the present utility model, the inside and outside of the product to be inspected are defined as follows: the area between the two energy absorption boxes is the inside, and the other side is the outside. Therefore, the clamping part, distance detection part, hole position detection part, weld bead detection part and sleeve detection part in the present utility model are arranged symmetrically left and right.

[0026] As Figures 1-4As shown in the figure, the utility model includes a support table 1, and a clamping part 2, a distance detection part 3, a hole position detection part 4, a weld bead detection part 5 and a sleeve detection part 6 located on the support table. The clamping part includes a first clamping plate 21, a second clamping plate 22 and a centering clamping component 23. The first clamping plate 21 is arranged along the periphery of the bumper body 7 and is used to clamp the bumper body 7. The second clamping plate 22 is located on both sides of the energy absorption box 8 and is used to clamp the energy absorption box 8. A positioning post 81 is arranged on the outer side of the energy absorption box 8, and the second clamping plate 22 is arranged in a V-shaped groove 221 that matches it. The operator can place the product to be inspected between the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22, ensuring that the positioning post 81 is located in the V-shaped groove 221, and the pre-positioning of the product to be inspected can be completed. The centering clamping component 23 includes a centering cylinder 231, an active block 232, a first slideway 233, an inclined pull rod 234, a passive block 235, a second slideway 236 and a side clamping plate 237. The centering cylinder 231 is located in the center of the support table 1, and its output end is connected to the active block 232. The bottom of the active block 232 is connected to the first slideway 233 through a slider. The first slideway 233 is perpendicular to the surface of the bumper body 7. Both sides of the active block 232 are respectively pivotally connected to the inclined pull rod 234. The other end of the inclined pull rod 234 is pivotally connected to the passive block 235. The bottom of the passive block 235 is connected to the second slideway 236 through a slider. The second slideway 236 is arranged perpendicular to the first slideway 233. The top of the passive block 235 is connected to the side clamping plate 237. By driving the active block 232 to move forward or backward through the centering cylinder 231, the two side clamping plates 237 are driven to move, and the energy absorption box 8 of the product to be inspected is clamped or loosened in cooperation with the second clamping plate 22.

[0027] The distance detection part 3 of the utility model includes laser distance sensors 31 located on one side of the energy absorption box 8. The number of the laser distance sensors 31 is two, which are symmetrically arranged outside the product to be inspected. When the centering clamping component 23 completes the positioning of the product to be inspected, the laser distance sensors 31 are activated to detect the numerical values of the positions of the sensors and the product to be inspected. Through calculation (the sum of two set values plus the set value of the span minus two measured values), the span numerical value of the two energy absorption boxes 8 is finally obtained.

[0028] The clamping part 2 further includes a rotary cylinder 24 and a clamping piece 25 located outside the product to be inspected. The output end of the rotary cylinder 24 drives the clamping piece 25 to press against the energy absorption box 8, fixing the product to be inspected between the support table 1 and the clamping piece 25 to ensure the stability of the product to be inspected during detection.

[0029] As Figures 3-4As shown, the hole position detection unit 4 includes a first hole position detection component 41, a second hole position detection component 42, a third hole position detection component 43, and a nut detection component 44. The first hole position detection component 41 includes a first air cylinder 411 and a detection pin 412. The output end of the first air cylinder 411 is connected to the detection pin 412. The detection pin 412 is perpendicular to the side surface of the bumper body 7 and matches the first mounting hole 71. The first air cylinder 411 drives the detection pin 412 to enter the first mounting hole 71 located in the middle position of the bumper body 7, and the presence or absence of the first mounting hole 71 is judged by the stroke of the detection pin 412.

[0030] The second hole position detection component 42 of the present utility model includes a second air cylinder 421 and a laser hole position sensor 422. The second air cylinder 421 is located inside the product to be inspected, and its output end is connected to the laser hole position sensor 422. The second air cylinder 421 drives the laser hole position sensor 422 to move, and the presence or absence of the second mounting hole 82 at the upper end of the energy absorption box 8 is judged by the laser hole position sensor 422.

[0031] As Figure 4 shown, the third hole position detection component 43 includes a fixed pin 431 and a proximity switch 432. The fixed pin 431 is perpendicular to the bottom surface of the bumper body 7 and matches the third mounting hole 72 at the bottom of the bumper body 7. The proximity switch 432 is located on one side of the fixed pin 431. When the operator places the product to be inspected on the clamping part 2, if the corresponding position at the bottom of the product to be inspected lacks the third mounting hole 72, due to the fixed pin 431, the product to be inspected cannot descend in place, and the proximity switch 432 cannot sense the product to be inspected, thereby judging the presence or absence of the third mounting hole 72.

[0032] As Figures 3-4 shown, the nut detection component 44 includes a fourth air cylinder 441 and a pressure sensor 442. The fourth air cylinder 441 is arranged obliquely downward, and its output end is connected to the pressure sensor 442. The fourth air cylinder 441 drives the pressure sensor 442 to move, and the presence or absence of the nut 73 is judged by the pressure sensor 442.

[0033] As Figures 2-3 The weld bead detection unit 5 includes a weld bead detection air cylinder 51 located inside the product to be inspected. The output end of the weld bead detection air cylinder 51 is connected to a detection plate 52. The moving direction of the detection plate 52 is perpendicular to the long side of the energy absorption box 8, and its bottom contacts the upper surface of the energy absorption box 8 with a weld seam. If there is a protrusion at the weld seam, it will affect the stroke of the detection plate 52, thereby judging whether the above weld seam is qualified.

[0034] As Figures 2-3As shown in the figure, the sleeve detection part 6 includes a photoelectric sensor 61. The photoelectric sensor 61 is located at one end of the energy absorption box 8 away from the bumper body 7, and senses the presence or absence of the sleeve 83 inside the energy absorption box 8 through the photoelectric sensor 61. In this embodiment, a total of eight photoelectric sensors 61 are provided to measure the four sleeves 83 in each energy absorption box 8 respectively.

[0035] The utility model further includes a display screen, and the measurement results of the distance detection part 3, the hole position detection part 4, the weld bead detection part 5 and the sleeve detection part 6 are shown on the display screen.

[0036] Working process:

[0037] 1. The operator places the product to be inspected between the first clamping plate 21 and the second clamping plate 22. The positioning post 81 of the energy absorption box 8 is located in the V-shaped groove 221. At this time, the fixing pin 431 is inserted into the third mounting hole 72.

[0038] 2. The centering cylinder 231 drives the active block 232 to move towards the bumper body 7, and drives the passive block 235 and the side clamping plate 237 to move through the inclined pull rod 234, so that the two side clamping plates 237 respectively press against the outer sides of the two energy absorption boxes 8. At the same time, the rotating cylinder 24 drives the clamping member 25 to rotate and descend, pressing against the energy absorption box 8 to fix the product to be inspected.

[0039] 3. The laser distance sensor 31 is started to measure the distance between the two energy absorption boxes 8; the first cylinder 411 is started to drive the detection pin 412 into the first mounting hole 71; the second cylinder 421 is started to drive the laser hole position sensor 422 to move above the second mounting hole 82; the fourth cylinder 441 is started to drive the pressure sensor 442 to abut against the nut 73; the weld bead detection cylinder 51 is started to drive the detection plate 52 to move towards the weld of the energy absorption box 8; the photoelectric sensor 61 is started to test the presence or absence of the sleeve 83 inside the energy absorption box 8.

[0040] 4. The measurement results of each item are shown on the display screen, and after the measurement is completed, the operator takes out the product to be inspected.

[0041] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the protection scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
