Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing tooling technology, specifically a testing tooling for automotive frame longitudinal beam assemblies. Background Technology

[0002] The chassis is a frame structure that spans the front and rear axles of a car, commonly known as a beam. It is the base of the car and is generally composed of two longitudinal beams and several transverse beams. It is supported on the wheels via the suspension system, front axle, and rear axle. The chassis must have sufficient strength and rigidity to withstand the load of the car and the impact transmitted from the wheels. The function of the chassis is to support and connect the various assemblies of the car, keep the assemblies in a relatively correct position, and withstand various loads inside and outside the car. Therefore, it requires many testing items during its manufacturing process.

[0003] The patent application CN217403810U discloses a testing fixture for a car subframe reinforcement plate, comprising a worktable. The worktable includes a transverse mounting rod and a longitudinal mounting rod. Several positioners are movably connected to the surface of the worktable. Each positioner includes a connecting plate, and several positioning rods are fixed to one side of the connecting plate. A mounting plate is fixed to one end of each positioning rod. The mounting plate has threaded holes on its surface. Through the action of the positioners, the device can flexibly adjust the position of the support on the worktable surface. Compared with traditional fixed positioning, this device can be used for more reinforcement plates of different specifications, and the adjustment process is quick and flexible, allowing for rapid replacement of the support position, making the device more convenient and flexible to use.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has the following problems during implementation:

[0005] 1. The existing testing fixtures for vehicle frame longitudinal beams are relatively simple in structure, and the size of the testing platform is fixed. They cannot provide temporary testing platforms specifically for vehicle frames of different lengths and sizes, resulting in poor flexibility and practicality.

[0006] 2. Most existing inspection fixtures for vehicle frame longitudinal beams use inspection plates to mount sensor probes. The existing inspection plate structure is not convenient for adjusting the height to match the inspection height of the vehicle frame longitudinal beams, which reduces the accuracy of the inspection.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0009] A testing fixture for an automotive frame longitudinal beam assembly includes a workbench. Two sets of positioning plates are symmetrically and slidably connected on the upper surface of the workbench. Each positioning plate has a pressure plate on its upper surface. Two sets of elastic connecting components are symmetrically arranged between the two sides of the upper surface of the positioning plate and the two sides of the pressure plate. Multiple sets of positioning holes are distributed on the upper surface of the workbench, and positioning rods are threaded into each positioning hole.

[0010] A side plate is fixedly installed on one side of the workbench, and a top plate is fixedly installed on the top surface of the side plate.

A lead screw is bolted to the output end of the motor. A fixing block is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the workbench through a support rod. One end of the lead screw is rotatably connected to one side of the fixing block through a connecting block.

[0013] The lead screw is threaded to a connecting base plate. Two sets of connecting columns are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the connecting base plate. The bottom surface of the slider is symmetrically provided with grooves corresponding to the positions of the connecting columns. The connecting base plate is fitted to the slider through the connecting columns.

[0014] Preferably, a central positioning sleeve is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting base plate, and an internal threaded sleeve is movably provided inside the central positioning sleeve. The connecting base plate is movably installed outside the lead screw through the internal threaded sleeve.

[0015] Preferably, the elastic connection assembly includes a base, a return spring, and a connector. The base is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface of the positioning tray. A groove is provided inside the base. The connector is slidably connected inside the groove. The bottom end of the return spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the groove.

[0021] 2. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the rotation of the lead screw causes the threaded connecting base plate to slide. The bottom surface of the positioning plate is connected to the connecting base plate through the connecting column. Thus, the rotation of the lead screw can drive the two sets of oppositely set positioning plates to move closer or further away, which can be adapted according to the length of the frame longitudinal beam, increasing functionality.

[0022] 3. An electric push rod is installed on the top plate. The output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the top center of the connecting top plate. The internal damage detection plate is snapped onto the bottom surface of the connecting top plate.

[0034] Four sets of support legs 101 are symmetrically fixedly connected at the four corners of the bottom surface of the workbench 1. Four sets of sliding grooves 11 are symmetrically opened on the upper surface of the workbench 1.

[0035] The lead screw 15 is threadedly connected to a connecting base plate 18. Two sets of connecting columns 19 are fixedly installed on both sides of the upper surface of the connecting base plate 18. The bottom surface of the slider 12 is symmetrically provided with grooves corresponding to the positions of the connecting columns 19. The connecting base plate 18 is fitted to the slider 12 through the connecting columns 19. A central positioning sleeve 20 is fixedly installed in the middle of the connecting base plate 18.

[0039] The internal damage detection plate 10 is easily raised and lowered by the electric push rod 9, which is adapted to the longitudinal beam of the frame for inspection, thus increasing the accuracy of the inspection. Telescopic rods 25 are symmetrically arranged between the four corners of the bottom surface of the top plate 8 and the four corners of the upper surface of the internal damage detection plate 10. The connection of the telescopic rods 25 increases the stability of the internal damage detection plate 10 when it rises and falls. The internal damage detection plate 10 is equipped with a radiographic inspection module. The radiographic inspection module is electrically connected to the sensor to perform internal damage inspection on the longitudinal beam of the frame. Multiple sets of inspection probes are installed on the bottom surface of the internal damage detection plate 10 and are connected to the PLC controller for data transmission. Its power supply, specific composition and principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail.

[0040] Working principle: During use, the device positions the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame to be inspected on the workbench 1. The positioning plate 2 and pressure plate 3 clamp the two sides of the longitudinal beam. The elastic connecting component 4 enhances the functionality of the pressure plate 3. The motor 14 drives the lead screw 15 to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw 15 causes the threaded connecting base plate 18 to slide. Thus, the rotation of the lead screw 15 can move the two sets of opposing positioning plates 2 closer or further apart, adapting to the length of the longitudinal beam of the vehicle frame, thereby increasing functionality.

[0041] An electric push rod 9 is installed on the top plate 8. The output end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the top center of the connecting top plate 801. The internal damage detection plate 10 is snapped onto the bottom surface of the connecting top plate 801. The electric push rod 9 drives the internal damage detection plate 10 to rise and fall easily, adapting to the longitudinal beam of the frame for detection, thus increasing the accuracy of the detection.

[0042] It should be noted that the electric push rod 9, internal damage detection plate 10, motor 14, lead screw 15 and telescopic rod 25 are existing devices or equipment, or devices or equipment that can be implemented by existing technology. Their power supply, specific composition and principle are clear to those skilled in the art, so they will not be described in detail.

[0043] Although 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 alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
