[0022] The following is a detailed description of the embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and examples. The following examples are intended to illustrate the present invention but are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by persons of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are intended to fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the efficient joint water pipe inspection jig includes a cabinet 1, with a detection terminal 4 disposed at the top of the cabinet 1. A partition 2 is disposed within the cabinet 1, and a detection mechanism 3 for inspecting the engine cooling water circulation pipe is disposed on the partition 2. The detection mechanism 3 includes a mounting base 31 mounted on the partition 2, a fixing bracket 32 disposed on the mounting base 31, and a quick-release mechanism 33 for quickly installing and removing the fixing bracket 32. The fixing bracket 32 is provided with a water pipe jig 34 and a positioning mechanism 35 for installing and positioning the water pipe jig 34. Specifically, the efficient joint water pipe inspection jig improves the efficiency and accuracy of engine cooling water circulation pipe inspection. The cabinet 1, serving as the main frame of the entire inspection jig, is made of durable materials such as high-quality cold-rolled steel plate with an anti-corrosion treatment on the surface to ensure stability and corrosion resistance under long-term use. The internal layout of the cabinet 1 is reasonable, providing ample installation space for various components while ensuring good ventilation and heat dissipation conditions. The detection terminal 4 is located at the top of the cabinet 1 and is one of the core components of the inspection jig. Testing terminal 4 integrates advanced sensor technology and data analysis systems, automatically performing multi-dimensional tests on connected water pipes, including pressure testing, flow testing, and leak detection, ensuring the accuracy and comprehensiveness of test results. Divider 2 rationally divides the interior of cabinet 1 into two or more upper and lower levels, ensuring compactness and facilitating maintenance and management.
[0024] The test fixture 3 is mounted on the partition 2. The mounting base 31 is attached to the partition 2, providing a stable support platform for the mounting bracket 32. The mounting base 31 is designed for versatility and compatibility, accommodating a variety of pipe jigs of varying sizes and models. The mounting bracket 32 secures the pipe to be tested, ensuring that it does not sway or shift during testing, potentially affecting the test results. Made of high-strength material, the mounting bracket 32 offers a stable structure and features an adjustable clamping mechanism to accommodate pipes of varying sizes. The quick-release mechanism 33 significantly improves the speed and convenience of replacing the pipe jig. With simple operation, the operator can quickly remove the mounting bracket 32 from the mounting base 31 and replace it with another mounting bracket 32 suitable for different pipe sizes, significantly reducing test preparation time. The pipe jig 34 is 3D-printed to meet standard pipe specifications and is used to verify compliance. The positioning mechanism 35 is used to install and position the pipe jig 34, ensuring its stability and accuracy during testing. The positioning mechanism 35 is designed with a guide and locking device, which can effectively prevent the water pipe fixture from deflecting or loosening during the inspection process.
[0025] This high-efficiency inspection fixture for joint water pipes uses scientific structural design and advanced detection technology to achieve efficient and accurate inspection of engine cooling water circulation pipes, providing strong technical support for the automotive manufacturing and maintenance industries.
[0026] Combine Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, a fixing mechanism 36 for fixing the water pipe is provided on the fixing frame 32 . The fixing mechanism 36 includes a first cylinder 361 provided on the mounting seat 31 . The output end of the first cylinder 361 is connected to a clamping claw 362 .
[0027] Furthermore, the fixing mechanism 36 designed on the fixing frame 32 is the key to ensuring that the water pipe is stable and does not deviate during the inspection process. The first cylinder 361 serves as the power source of the fixing mechanism 36. The first cylinder 361 is installed on the mounting base 31 to ensure that the clamp 362 can accurately align with and clamp the water pipe. The first cylinder 361 adopts high-quality pneumatic components, which have the characteristics of fast response speed, stable force and strong durability. Through air pressure control, the first cylinder 361 can quickly and smoothly push the clamp 362 to open and close, thereby achieving a firm clamping of the water pipe. As the part that directly contacts the water pipe, the design of the clamp 362 fully considers the material, shape and size of the water pipe. The clamp 362 is also designed with a buffer device to reduce the impact and damage to the water pipe during the clamping process.
[0028] Combine Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the quick release mechanism 33 includes a plurality of threaded holes 331 provided on the mounting base 31 , quick release bolts 332 are installed in the threaded holes 331 , and the fixing frame 32 is fixedly mounted on the mounting base 31 via the quick release bolts 332 .
[0029] Furthermore, the quick-release mechanism 33, as an important component connecting the fixing frame 32 and the mounting base 31, is not only related to the convenience of operation, but also directly affects the flexibility and efficiency of the entire inspection fixture. The threaded holes 331 are set at predetermined positions on the mounting base 31. They are not only the installation basis of the quick-release bolts 332, but also the key to ensuring the stable installation of the fixing frame 32. The number and position of the threaded holes 331 are precisely calculated to ensure that the fixing frame 32 can obtain balanced support after installation, avoiding displacement or loosening due to uneven force during the inspection process. At the same time, the specifications and dimensions of the threaded holes 331 are also strictly screened to ensure a close fit with the quick-release bolts 332, thereby improving the stability and reliability of the connection.
[0030] Quick-release bolt 332: As the core component of the quick-release mechanism 33, quick-release bolt 332 is made of high-strength, corrosion-resistant material to ensure stable performance during long-term use. Quick-release bolt 332 is designed with ease of operation in mind. Its head is typically designed with a shape that is easy to grip and rotate, such as a hexagonal or flat shape, to facilitate quick assembly and disassembly using tools. In addition, quick-release bolt 332 is equipped with a locking washer or thread locker to prevent loosening in vibration or shock environments, ensuring a secure installation of the mounting bracket 32.
[0031] The quick-release mechanism 33 operates based on a threaded connection and locking mechanism. To install the mounting bracket 32 on the mounting base 31, the operator simply inserts the quick-release bolt 332 through the pre-set hole in the mounting bracket 32 and screws it into the threaded hole 331 until the predetermined tightening torque is reached. To disassemble, the operator simply rotates the quick-release bolt 332 counterclockwise with a tool to easily remove the mounting bracket 32 from the mounting base 31. This design not only simplifies the assembly and disassembly process but also significantly improves work efficiency.
[0032] Combine Figure 4 、 Figure 5 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the positioning mechanism 35 includes a plurality of positioning holes provided on the top of the fixing frame 32 , and positioning pins 351 are installed inside the positioning holes.
[0033] Furthermore, the positioning mechanism 35 ensures the precise installation and positioning of the water pipe fixture 34 on the mounting bracket 32. Positioning holes are arranged at the top of the mounting bracket 32. They not only serve as the installation foundation for the positioning pins 351, but also are key to ensuring the precise positioning of the water pipe fixture 34. The number, position, and size of the positioning holes are precisely calculated and simulated to ensure that the water pipe fixture 34 achieves optimal stability and accuracy after installation. These holes are typically designed to be cylindrical or conical to accommodate positioning pins 351 of varying shapes and sizes, while also reducing friction and resistance during assembly.
[0034] As the core component of positioning mechanism 35, positioning pin 351 is made of high-precision, high-strength materials, such as stainless steel or cemented carbide, to ensure stable performance and accuracy over long-term use. The head of positioning pin 351 is typically designed with a shape that is easily recognizable and operable, such as a sphere, cone, or flat surface, allowing the operator to quickly and accurately insert it into the positioning hole. Furthermore, the surface of positioning pin 351 undergoes special treatments, such as hard chrome plating or nitriding, to enhance its wear and corrosion resistance.
[0035] When the pipe jig 34 is installed on the mounting bracket 32, the operator simply aligns the pre-set holes on the pipe jig 34 with the positioning holes on the mounting bracket 32, then inserts the positioning pins 351 into the pre-set holes and positioning holes until they are fully inserted and locked. This not only ensures the precise horizontal and vertical positioning of the pipe jig 34, but also prevents it from shifting or loosening due to vibration or impact during testing.
[0036] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the mechanism to be detected 3 further includes a driving mechanism 5 provided on the partition plate 2 for driving the mounting seat 31 to move.
[0037] Combine Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, the driving mechanism 5 includes a second cylinder 51 provided on the partition plate 2 , and an output end of the second cylinder 51 is connected to the mounting seat 31 .
[0038] Furthermore, the drive mechanism 5, as one of the core components of the mechanism to be detected 3, realizes the precise, rapid and stable movement of the mounting base 31 and its components such as the water pipe fixture on the partition plate 2. The second cylinder 51 serves as the main power source of the drive mechanism 5. The second cylinder 51 is set at an appropriate position on the partition plate 2 to ensure that its output end can be directly connected to the mounting base 31. The second cylinder 51 adopts high-quality pneumatic components and has the characteristics of fast response speed, stable power, and precise control. Through air pressure control, the second cylinder 51 can quickly and smoothly push or pull the mounting base 31 to realize its linear movement on the partition plate 2.
[0039] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the detection terminal 4 includes a mounting frame 41 arranged on the top of the cabinet 1 , and a camera 42 located directly above the water pipe fixture 34 is arranged on the mounting frame 41 .
[0040] Specifically, the detection terminal 4, a key component of the inspected structure 3, enables high-precision, high-efficiency automated inspection of the water pipe fixture 34 and the water pipes mounted thereon. A mounting bracket 41, serving as the foundational support structure for the detection terminal 4, is located at the top of the interior of the cabinet 1. The mounting bracket 41 is typically constructed of high-strength, corrosion-resistant materials, such as aluminum alloy or stainless steel, to ensure stable performance over long-term use. The rational design of the mounting bracket 41 facilitates the rapid installation and removal of the camera 42, while also providing sufficient flexibility and precision for adjusting the angle of the camera 42.
[0041] Camera 42, the core component of inspection terminal 4, is mounted on mounting bracket 41, directly above pipe fixture 34. Using a high-resolution, highly sensitive image sensor, camera 42 is capable of capturing subtle features and defects on pipe fixture 34 and the pipes it mounts. Its lens typically features a wide-angle or zoom design to ensure coverage of the entire inspection area and enable flexible inspection of pipes of varying sizes and shapes. Furthermore, camera 42 is equipped with advanced image processing algorithms and artificial intelligence technology, enabling automatic identification and classification of pipe defects such as cracks, deformation, and corrosion, thereby improving inspection accuracy and efficiency.
[0042] To ensure that the camera 42 captures clear and accurate image information, the inspection terminal 4 is also equipped with a professional lighting system. This lighting system typically uses LED light sources, which offer high brightness, low power consumption, and a long lifespan. The layout and angle of the lighting system are carefully designed to ensure uniform illumination of the entire inspection area, eliminating the effects of shadows and reflections on image quality. The lighting system also supports brightness and color temperature adjustment to suit different inspection environments and requirements.
[0043] The control system of the detection terminal 4 is responsible for receiving signals from external commands or sensors and controlling functions such as camera start and stop, focus adjustment, image acquisition, and transmission. This control system typically uses intelligent control devices such as a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or a single-chip microcomputer, which are efficient, stable, easy to program, and maintain. By communicating and working in conjunction with other components in the structure to be detected 3 (such as the drive mechanism 5), the control system can achieve automation and intelligentization of the entire detection process.
[0044] Combine Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, a control terminal 6 is provided inside the cabinet 1 .
[0045] Cabinet 1, the core supporting structure of the entire detection system, boasts a compact interior layout, comprehensive functionality, and a rational design, ensuring efficient and coordinated operation of all components. The control terminal 6 is positioned within cabinet 1 in an easily accessible and secure location, typically in the upper middle section, for easy viewing and operation by the operator. Its layout incorporates ergonomic considerations, ensuring a comfortable posture and minimizing fatigue during extended work periods. Ample space is also provided around the control terminal 6 for easy repair and maintenance.
[0046] The control terminal 6 is the "brain" of the entire detection system, responsible for receiving, processing, and sending various commands and data. It is typically equipped with a high-performance processor, large-capacity memory, and an advanced operating system to ensure rapid system response and stable operation. The control terminal 6 features an intuitive and user-friendly interface, allowing operators to easily operate it using input devices such as a touch screen, keyboard, or mouse. Furthermore, the control terminal 6 supports a variety of communication protocols and interfaces, enabling seamless connection and data exchange with other components, such as the detection terminal 4 and the drive mechanism 5.
[0047] The above are only preferred specific implementation methods of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited to them. Any technician familiar with the technical field can make equivalent replacements or changes based on the technical solution and utility model concept of the present invention within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention, and they should be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
