Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a rapid error detection device for pipe fittings, belonging to the field of automobile fittings processing. Background Art

[0002] Safety is a crucial aspect of modern automotive design. Especially with the increasing complexity of urban traffic and the growing need for pedestrian protection, automakers are constantly seeking innovative solutions to enhance vehicles' ability to protect pedestrians. Traditional hood designs often fail to effectively mitigate the impact on pedestrians' heads during low-speed collisions due to the hood's rigid structure, increasing the risk of injury.

[0003] To address this issue, the automotive industry has gradually introduced active hood technology. This involves installing a trigger mechanism at the rear of the hood. When a vehicle collides with a pedestrian at low speed, the mechanism quickly responds by raising the rear of the hood to a certain height, thereby increasing the buffer space between the hood and the engine and reducing direct impact on the pedestrian's head. This design can significantly reduce the severity of pedestrian injuries, especially in low-speed collisions.

[0004] However, in the existing active hood trigger mechanism, the pipe is a key connecting and supporting component, and holes need to be punched in the pipe for connection with the above-mentioned trigger structure. In the existing technology, after the pipe is punched, it is generally inspected manually to pick out defective products such as those that are partially undrilled or those in which the holes punched do not completely penetrate the pipe. The long selection process is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also workers are prone to mistakes and omissions, resulting in the outflow of defective products. Utility Model Content

[0007] Preferably, a positioning end point is provided on the storage rack; and the pipe fitting is snapped into the positioning end point.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0014] Other features, objects and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent from the detailed description of the non-limiting embodiments with reference to the following drawings:

[0015] Figure 1 This is a structural diagram of a pipe fast error detection device according to the present invention;

[0016] Figure 2 It is a structural diagram of the alarm device of the present utility model. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0017] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easier to understand, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0018] See also Figure 1 、 Figure 2 The utility model provides a technical solution for a rapid error detection device for pipe fittings, which includes a storage rack 1, a positioning column 2, a plurality of detectors 3, a fixing component 4, and an alarm component 5.

[0019] The pipe fitting 6 is placed vertically on the rack 1; further, in order to enable the hole 61 on the pipe fitting 6 to correspond to the detector 3 when the pipe fitting 6 is placed on the rack 1, a positioning end point 11 is provided on the rack 1; the pipe fitting 6 is snapped into the positioning end point 11, so that the holes 61 can correspond to their respective detectors 3. In one embodiment, there are four holes 61 and four detectors 3, and the detectors 3 are arranged in units of two and are correspondingly arranged to perform error detection on the holes 61 on the pipe fitting 6. Preferably, the detector 3 adopts an existing infrared switch sensor, which can be purchased directly on the market and can be put into use after simple debugging. People in this field can choose it according to their needs, so it will not be described in detail in this manual.

[0020] The positioning column 2 is used to support the tube fitting 6; preferably, the diameter of the positioning column 2 is smaller than that of the tube fitting 6, so that the tube fitting 6 can be inserted into the positioning column 2; further, in order to detect whether the position of the hole 61 of the tube fitting 6 is at the rated height, a retractable bracket 7 is provided on one side of the positioning column 2; the bracket 7 extends to the outside of the positioning column 2 and supports the tube fitting 6, and the bracket 7 is slidably installed on a base 71. In one embodiment, the bracket 7 is pushed by a handle and is located at the bottom of the tube fitting 6. The bracket 7 lifts the tube fitting 6 so that the hole 61 within the rated height can correspond to the detector 3.

[0021] The fixing assembly 4 fixes the pipe 6. In one embodiment, the fixing assembly 4 adopts the existing multi-section rod movable fixing assembly 4, which is a conventional structure. Its purpose is to press and fix the pipe 6 after the movable fixing assembly 4 is used.

[0022] In order to quickly detect the corresponding connectivity status of the hole 61, an alarm component 5 is set up, which includes a buzzer 51, a switch 52, and a controller 53; wherein, the fixed component 4 is electrically connected to the alarm component 5. Specifically, the switch 52 can be placed on the active node of the fixed component 4. The preferred switch 52 is a push-type switch. When the fixed component 4 is pressed tightly, the switch 52 is activated to power on the detector 3.

[0023] To enable workers to quickly identify pipes 6 without holes 61, the controller 53 is electrically connected to the detector 3. The buzzer 51 is controlled by the controller 53. When the detector 3 fails to detect that both holes 61 are unobstructed, the buzzer 51 sounds an alarm to alert the worker. The controller 53, detector 3, and buzzer 51 are all conventional circuits and can be implemented using a simple circuit structure. Therefore, their wiring diagrams are not detailed in this specification.

[0024] Working principle: Push the bracket 7 forward, then place the pipe 6 on the rack 1, and the pipe 6 presses against the bracket 7; then move the fixing component 4 to press the pipe 6 to fix it. During this period, the movement of the fixing component 4 will activate the switch 52, so that the detector 3 is powered on; the detector 3 detects whether the two holes 61 are unobstructed. If they are unobstructed, the corresponding detector 3 can convect, and the buzzer 51 does not sound. If the pipe 6 does not have a hole 61, the detector 3 is blocked by the pipe 6, and the controller 53 controls the buzzer 51 to sound, reminding the worker that the pipe 6 has a defect.

[0025] The above shows and describes the basic principles and main features of the present invention and the advantages of the present invention. It is obvious to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from all points of view, the embodiments should be regarded as illustrative and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and it is intended that all changes that fall within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are included in the present invention. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the claim to which they relate.

[0026] In addition, it should be understood that although this specification is described in terms of implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
