[0024] The following detailed, non-limiting description of the present invention, in conjunction with preferred embodiments and accompanying drawings, is provided. Obviously, the described embodiments are merely some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides a technical solution: a tool for bumper production, including a testing table 1, two symmetrical mounting grooves 2 are provided on the upper surface of the testing table 1, a lead screw is movably connected inside the mounting groove 2, and the lead screws in the two mounting grooves 2 have opposite thread directions. A handwheel 3 is installed on one side of the testing table 1, and the handwheel 3 is connected to the outer end of the lead screw in the mounting groove 2 on one side, so that the lead screw can be rotated by rotating the handwheel 3.

[0026] The mounting slot 2 is internally threaded with a column 4. A connecting rod 5 is slidably connected to one side of the column 4. Mounting blocks 6 are fixedly connected to both ends of the connecting rod 5. A rotating component 7 is installed inside the mounting block 6. A clamp 8 is connected to one side of the mounting block 6 via a rod body for clamping both ends of the bumper.

[0027] A fixed platform 9 is riveted to the center of the top of the testing platform 1. An electric push rod is installed inside the fixed platform 9. A lifting platform 10 is slidably connected inside the fixed platform 9. The lifting platform 10 moves up and down through the electric push rod. Connecting rods 11 are hinged to both sides of the lifting platform 10. A support rod 12 is rotatably connected between the two connecting rods 11. The support rod 12 is arc-shaped and is used to fit the surface of the bumper. A turntable 13 is installed on the outside of one of the connecting rods 11.

[0028] refer to Figure 2 The lower end of the column 4 is provided with a threaded hole, which is threadedly connected to the lead screw in the mounting groove 2, thereby realizing the movable connection between the column 4 and the mounting groove 2.

[0029] A linear motor is installed inside the column 4, and a sliding groove 41 is opened on the outside of the column 4. The connecting rod 5 is E-shaped, and a horizontal bar in the middle of the connecting rod 5 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 41 and is driven by the linear motor to move up and down.

[0030] refer to Figure 3 The upper and lower horizontal bars of the connecting rod 5 are fixedly connected to both sides of the mounting block 6, so that the displacement of the connecting rod 5 can drive the synchronous displacement of the mounting block 6.

[0031] The rotating assembly 7 includes a rotary motor 71, which is installed inside the mounting block 6. A drive gear 72 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 71. The drive gear 72 is a gear with four teeth. A driven gear 73 is rotatably connected to one side of the drive gear 72. The drive gear 72 meshes with the driven gear 73. A rod is sleeved in the middle of the driven gear 73 and welded to the clamp 8. After the rotary motor 71 is driven, the four teeth on the drive gear 72 mesh with the driven gear 73 in sequence, thereby driving the clamp 8 to rotate slowly at multiple angles.

[0032] refer to Figure 4 Rotating the turntable 13 allows the support rod 12 to rotate at its own angle, and moving the connecting rod 11 allows the position of the support rod 12 to be adjusted.

[0033] In this embodiment, the distance between the two clamps 8 is first initially adjusted by handwheel 3 according to the length of the bumper. Then, the bumper is placed between the clamps 8 so that the clamps 8 firmly clamp the two sides of the bumper. When inspecting the outer surface of the bumper, the support rod 12 is rotated by turntable 13 so that the arc surface of the support rod 12 faces upward. Then, the electric push rod is controlled to raise the lifting platform 10 until the upper surface of the support rod 12 is in contact with the bumper and stops. At this time, the clamps 8 realize the positioning of the bumper and the support rod 12 provides a certain support force for the bumper to avoid uneven force on the surface of the bumper during the inspection process.

[0034] When a comprehensive inspection of the bumper is required, the support rod 12 is lowered and the rotating component 7 is activated, causing the clamp 8 to intermittently rotate the bumper. This facilitates a comprehensive inspection of the entire bumper by the inspectors. When the inspectors discover defects on the surface of the bumper, they immediately stop the rotating component 7, positioning the bumper at an angle that is easy to operate and observe. Then, the support rod 12 is raised, and the angle between the connecting rod 11 and the support rod 12 is adjusted so that the support rod 12 is always in contact with the other side of the bumper's machined surface. This ensures that the bumper is always provided with strong support during inspection.

[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features.
