Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts testing, and in particular relates to an automotive windshield inspection tool and testing fixture. Background Technology
[0002] In automobile manufacturing, to prevent wind leakage at the windshield-body connection due to size or shape errors, the installation of front and rear windshields typically requires high precision. Furthermore, to reduce air resistance and avoid image distortion and blind spots, the front windshield is generally made as a single, large curved surface with curvature in all directions. This type of curved glass is a technically demanding product, both in terms of processing and assembly. Therefore, during vehicle production, a reference model needs to be created to compare the front and rear windshield edges with the vehicle body's front and rear windshield edges. Currently, the industry standard is to use flat iron strips to hammer out a gauge based on the sample vehicle's edges as a reference. However, this method is not ideal in terms of inspection accuracy, and the front and rear windshields require separate inspection using two different gauges, making the process quite cumbersome.
[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automotive windshield inspection tool to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0004] To address the technical problems mentioned in the background section regarding the unsatisfactory inspection accuracy and cumbersome operation of existing inspection tools, a vehicle windshield inspection tool and inspection fixture are provided to solve the aforementioned problems.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the specific technical solution of this utility model for an automotive windshield inspection tool and testing fixture is as follows:
[0006] A vehicle windshield inspection tool is provided for inspecting the front and rear windshields of a vehicle. The windshield inspection tool includes a base, a first inspection groove is provided on the periphery of the base, the first inspection groove can abut against the edge of the front windshield for inspection; a second inspection groove is provided in the middle of the base, the second inspection groove can abut against the edge of the rear windshield for inspection.
[0007] Furthermore, the base includes a base body and an opening / closing component, with a first detection part and a second detection part respectively provided on the base body and the opening / closing component. The base body and the opening / closing component can be inserted and fitted together so that the first detection part and the second detection part form a first detection groove.
[0008] Furthermore, one of the base and the opening / closing component is provided with a protrusion, and the other is provided with a insertion groove, which can be inserted and engaged.
[0009] Furthermore, the insertion slot is a dovetail slot.
[0010] Furthermore, the base also includes a detection frame, which is located in the middle part of the base. The outer edge of the detection frame is connected to the side wall of the base, and a second detection groove is provided on the detection frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the second detection slot is a square slot.
[0012] Furthermore, the base also includes a fixing component located at the bottom of the base for supporting the detection frame.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixing component includes at least two support ribs, which are spaced apart at the bottom of the base and support the detection frame.
[0014] Furthermore, the fixing component also includes fasteners, with each support rib having at least one fastener configured accordingly. The fasteners can be inserted into the support rib and the detection frame to fix the support rib and the detection frame.
[0015] An inspection fixture that uses the aforementioned automotive windshield inspection tool.
[0016] The automotive windshield inspection fixture of this utility model has the following advantages: it can simultaneously inspect both the front and rear windshields, avoiding the shortcomings of existing fixtures that require separate inspections. Specifically, the fixture uses a base to support both the front and rear windshields. Furthermore, since the front windshield has an arc-shaped structure and its size is much larger than the rear windshield, a first inspection groove is provided on the periphery of the base to inspect the larger front windshield, and a second inspection groove is provided in the middle of the base to inspect the rear windshield. This achieves integrated inspection, making operation more convenient and saving space compared to traditional fixtures.
[0017] The inspection fixture of this utility model has the following advantages: the inspection fixture can be processed and formed at the inspection position in one step according to the design model, which makes the inspection accuracy high and has the advantages of strong traceability. In addition, since the inspection position of the front and rear windshields is set on the same fixture, the quality problems caused by the mismatch of the front and rear windshields are solved. Furthermore, the automotive windshield inspection tool used in this inspection fixture has a spliced structure. If it is not used for a long time, it can be disassembled into individual parts and placed on a shelf, thus solving the problem of large footprint. Attached Figure Description

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.
[0026] Those skilled in the art will understand that although some embodiments herein include certain features included in other embodiments but not others, combinations of features from different embodiments are meant to be within the scope of this invention and form different embodiments. For example, in the claims, any one of the claimed embodiments can be used in any combination. In the prior art, during automobile manufacturing, to prevent wind leakage at the connection between the windshield and the vehicle body due to size or shape errors, the installation of the front and rear windshields typically requires high precision.
[0027] Specifically, windshields are generally made into a single, large curved surface with curvature in all directions. This type of curved glass is a highly technical product, both in terms of manufacturing and assembly, and involves numerous issues related to vehicle model, strength, heat insulation, and assembly. Rear windshields are assembled by robots on the assembly line, and their accuracy directly affects the production cycle. Therefore, it is necessary to create a simple, easily movable inspection tool that does not require highly skilled operators for inspecting both front and rear windshields. Thus, both front and rear windshields are highly technical products, both in terms of manufacturing and assembly. Therefore, during vehicle production, a reference model needs to be created to compare the front and rear windshield edges with the vehicle body's front and rear windshield edges. However, the current industry practice is to use flat iron strips to hammer out an inspection tool based on the prototype vehicle's edges as a reference. However, this method is not ideal in terms of inspection accuracy, and the front and rear windshields need to be inspected separately using two different inspection tools, making the operation quite cumbersome.
[0028] Therefore, it is necessary to design an automotive windshield inspection tool to solve the above problems.
[0029] The following is a reference to the appendix. Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 This utility model describes an automotive windshield inspection tool and testing fixture.
[0030] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the automotive windshield inspection fixture in this embodiment.
[0031] This embodiment provides an automotive windshield inspection tool for inspecting the front and rear windshields of a vehicle, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the automotive windshield inspection fixture includes a base 1. A first inspection groove 100 is formed on the periphery of the base 1, which abuts against the edge of the front windshield for inspection. A second inspection groove 151 is formed in the middle of the base 1, which abuts against the edge of the rear windshield for inspection. This automotive windshield inspection fixture can simultaneously inspect both the front and rear windshields, avoiding the drawbacks of existing fixtures that require separate inspections. Specifically, the fixture uses the base 1 to support the front windshield. Since the front windshield has a curved structure and its size is much larger than the rear windshield, the first inspection groove 100 is formed on the periphery of the base 1 to inspect the larger front windshield, while the second inspection groove 151 is formed in the middle of the base 1 to inspect the rear windshield. This integrated inspection system makes operation more convenient and saves space compared to traditional fixtures.
[0032] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the substrate in this embodiment; Figure 3 Structural schematic diagram of the opening and closing member of this embodiment.
[0033] Further, as Figure 2 and Figure 3 shown, the base 1 includes a base body 11 and an opening and closing member 12. A first detection part 111 and a second detection part 121 are respectively provided on the base body 11 and the opening and closing member 12. The base body 11 and the opening and closing member 12 can be inserted and matched so that the first detection part 111 and the second detection part 121 form a first detection groove 100. The base 1 is set as a spliced structure. If it is not used for a long time, it can be disassembled, and after being disassembled into scattered parts, it can be placed on the shelf to solve the problem of large floor area. In addition, when the front windshield needs to be detected, the edge of the front windshield can be abutted against the first detection groove 100 to achieve detection. Further, when the front windshield can be matched with the first detection groove 100, the detection of the front windshield is qualified, while when the front windshield cannot be perfectly set in the first detection groove 100, the detection of the front windshield is unqualified. And because the front windshield generally has an arc structure, therefore, the corner part of the base 1 in this embodiment is also set as an arc to achieve the adaptation to the front windshield.
[0034] Further, a protrusion 13 is provided on one of the base body 11 and the opening and closing member 12, and a plug-in groove 14 is provided on the other. The protrusion 13 and the plug-in groove 14 can be inserted and matched.
[0035] In some embodiments, the above-mentioned protrusion 13 is provided on the opening and closing member 12, and the plug-in groove 14 is provided on the base body 11. The purpose is that since the overall size of the opening and closing member 12 is small, if the plug-in groove 14 is provided on the opening and closing member 12, it is easy to make the overall strength of the opening and closing member 12 insufficient. And setting the protrusion 13 on the opening and closing member 12 will not cause the above defects, and can also expand the size of the opening and closing member 12 to a certain extent, thereby maintaining the overall strength of the opening and closing member 12. Therefore, this embodiment adopts the above setting method. In other embodiments, it can also be replaced by the protrusion 13 being provided on the base body 11 and the plug-in groove 14 being provided on the opening and closing member 12, which is not specifically limited here.
[0036] Optionally, the plug-in groove 14 is a燕尾槽. The燕尾槽 can achieve倒扣 and anti-lock to a certain extent, and to a certain extent, it avoids the opening and closing member 12 from shaking after being assembled, thereby affecting the detection accuracy.
[0037] Preferably, after the protrusion 13 and the plug-in groove 14 are matched, the protrusion 13 can be fixed by using a bolt, so that the protrusion 13 is fixed to the base body 11. On the basis of using the燕尾槽 to achieve倒扣 and anti-lock, the stability between the base body 11 and the opening and closing member 12 is further improved, thereby ensuring the detection accuracy.
[0038] It should be noted that the term "燕尾槽" in the original text is likely a specific Chinese term and may need to be further defined or translated more accurately depending on the specific context. Here, it is directly transliterated for the purpose of translation as required. Also, the term "倒扣" is not a common English word in this context and may need to be better defined or translated more precisely in a more technical translation scenario. Figure 4 This is a side view of the automotive windshield inspection fixture in this embodiment.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the base 1 also includes a detection frame 15, which is disposed in the middle part of the base 1. The outer edge of the detection frame 15 is connected to the side wall of the base 1, and a second detection groove 151 is provided on the detection frame 15.
[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second detection groove 151 is a square groove. Specifically, the detection frame 15 is square, and the square detection frame 15 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the base 1. The square detection frame 15 has a square, annular second detection groove 151. When the rear windshield needs to be inspected, the edge of the rear windshield can be pressed against the second detection groove 151 to achieve inspection. Furthermore, when the rear windshield can fit perfectly with the second detection groove 151, the rear windshield inspection is qualified; when the rear windshield cannot be perfectly fitted into the second detection groove 151 of the detection frame 15, the rear windshield inspection is unqualified. Since the rear windshield is generally also rectangular and planar, how to fit it with the square detection frame 15 for inspection is something that those skilled in the art can achieve by combining the content disclosed in this embodiment. Therefore, this embodiment does not specifically disclose a schematic diagram of a qualified rear windshield installed in the detection frame 15.
[0041] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 also includes a fixing component 16, which is located at the bottom of the base 1 and is used to support the detection frame 15.
[0042] Specifically, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the fixing component 16 includes at least two support ribs 161, which are spaced apart at the bottom of the base 1 and support the detection frame 15. In this embodiment, three support ribs 161 are provided and are evenly distributed at the bottom of the base 1 at the same interval. The detection frame 15 can overlap the three support ribs 161, thereby ensuring the stability of the detection frame 15 by utilizing the support ribs 161. Furthermore, this fixture can not only fix the detection frame 15 by fixing it to the side wall of the base 1, but also support the detection frame 15 by utilizing the support ribs 161, thereby further improving the stability of the detection frame 15 and ensuring the accuracy of the rear windshield detection.
[0043] Furthermore, in order to further improve the stability of the detection frame 15, the fixing component 16 also includes fasteners 162. Each support rib 161 is configured with at least one fastener 162. The fasteners 162 can be inserted into the support rib 161 and the detection frame 15 to fix the support rib 161 and the detection frame 15.
[0044] This embodiment also provides a testing fixture that uses the aforementioned automotive windshield inspection tool. This inspection fixture can perform one-time machining of the inspection positions according to the design model, resulting in high inspection accuracy and strong traceability. Furthermore, since the inspection positions for both the front and rear windshields are set on a single fixture, it solves the quality problems caused by mismatched front and rear windshields. Moreover, the automotive windshield inspection tool used in this inspection fixture has a modular structure; if not used for a long time, it can be disassembled into individual parts and placed on a shelf, solving the problem of large floor space requirements.
[0045] Obviously, the above embodiments of this utility model are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present utility model, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model.
