[0016] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0017] Example 1

[0018] Reference Figure 1 , 2This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a precision testing fixture for automotive door hinges, including a base plate 1. A support seat 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the top of the base plate 1. A base 8 is connected to the top of the support seat 9. Clamping plates 7 are movably provided on both sides of the top of the base 8. A hinge seat 6 is hinged to the middle of the clamping plate 7. The top of the hinge seat 6 is fixedly connected to both sides of the bottom of the movable plate 5. One end of an adjusting screw 4 is rotatably connected to the middle of the top of the movable plate 5. The adjusting screw 4 is connected to the top of the bracket 3 through a threaded structure. The bottom of the bracket 3 is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the base plate 1.

[0019] A slide rail 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1 on the other side. The slide rail 15 is slidably connected to the slider 11. A bracket detection pin 12 is connected to both sides of one end of the slider 11. The other end of the slider 11 abuts against the end of the dial indicator 13. The dial indicator 13 is installed on the top of the support plate 14. The bottom end of the support plate 14 is fixedly connected to the base plate 1.

[0020] Place the hinge at a 90-degree angle onto the base 8. The positioning pin 81 fixed on the base 8 engages with the hinge's mounting hole, ensuring a more precise hinge positioning. Select the appropriate base 8 based on the hinge's mounting plate angle. When disassembling the base 8, loosen the positioning bolt 10 to disengage it from the insertion hole of the insertion block 82, allowing the base 8 to be removed. Replace the base 8 with the corresponding one and reinsert it onto the support base 9. Then, reinstall the positioning bolt 10 to limit and fix the base 8. Next, rotate the adjusting screw 4 while manually holding the movable plate 5 in place, thus adjusting the threaded structure. The lower movable plate 5 moves downward, and after the movable plate 5 moves downward, the hinge seat 6 moves downward. The hinge seat 6 moves the clamping plate 7 downward simultaneously. After the clamping plate 7 contacts the hinge fixing plate, it cooperates with the base 8 to clamp and fix the hinge fixing plate. At the same time, the clamping plate 7 passes through the middle hinge seat 6, which can clamp and fix the flat hinge fixing plate or the inclined hinge fixing plate. The bracket detection pin 12 is inserted into the two detection holes on the slider 11. Whether the detection section can pass smoothly through the hinge bracket mounting hole determines whether the hole position in the Z direction is out of tolerance. The measuring head of the dial indicator 13 contacts the slider 11. The reading can determine whether the hinge in the Y direction is out of tolerance.

[0021] Example 2

[0022] Reference Figure 1-3 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. Specifically, foot pads 2 are fixedly connected to the four corners of the bottom end of the base plate 1. The foot pads 2 are set to avoid accidental displacement during the testing process.

[0023] Specifically, positioning pins 81 are fixedly connected to the top two sides of the base 8. The positioning pins 81 are designed to engage with the mounting holes of the hinge, ensuring the positional accuracy of the hinge.

[0024] Specifically, a plug-in block 82 is fixedly connected to the bottom center of the base 8, and a connecting groove 91 is recessed in the top of the support base 9. The connecting groove 91 is plugged into the plug-in block 82. One side of the plug-in block 82 is fitted with one side of the positioning bolt 10, and the positioning bolt 10 is connected to one side of the support base 9 through a threaded structure. The corresponding base 8 is selected according to the angle model of the hinge's fixing plate. When the base 8 needs to be disassembled, the positioning bolt 10 is loosened to disengage from the plug-in hole of the plug-in block 82, allowing the base 8 to be removed. After replacing the corresponding base 8, it is reinserted onto the support base 9, and the positioning bolt 10 is installed again to limit and fix the base 8.

[0025] Specifically, the clamping plates 7 have a U-shaped structure and are arranged parallel to each other. The parallel arrangement allows the clamping plates 7 to clamp and fix both sides of the hinge fixing plate.

[0026] Example 3

[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 This is the third embodiment of the present invention. Based on the previous two embodiments, in use, the hinge is placed on the base 8 at a 90-degree angle. The positioning pin 81 fixed on the base 8 cooperates with the hinge's mounting hole, making the hinge's fixed position more precise. Simultaneously, a corresponding base 8 is selected according to the angle and model of the hinge's fixing plate. When the base 8 needs to be disassembled, the positioning bolt 10 is loosened, disengaging it from the insertion hole of the insertion block 82, allowing the base 8 to be removed. After replacing the corresponding base 8, it is reinserted onto the support base 9, and the positioning bolt 10 is installed again to limit and fix the base 8. Then, the adjusting screw 4 is rotated, and the position is manually adjusted. Keep the movable plate 5 fixed, and then drive the movable plate 5 to move down under the threaded structure. After the movable plate 5 moves down, it drives the hinge seat 6 to move down. The hinge seat 6 drives the clamping plate 7 to move down synchronously. After the clamping plate 7 abuts against the hinge fixing plate, it cooperates with the base 8 to clamp and fix the hinge fixing plate. At the same time, the clamping plate 7 passes through the middle hinge seat 6, and can clamp and fix the flat hinge fixing plate or the inclined hinge fixing plate. The bracket detection pin 12 is inserted into the two detection holes on the slider 11. Whether the detection section can pass smoothly through the hinge bracket mounting hole determines whether the hole position in the Z direction is out of tolerance. The measuring head of the dial indicator 13 contacts the slider 11. By reading the value, it can be determined whether the hinge in the Y direction is out of tolerance.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
