TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to automobile gauge technical field, concretely relates to a kind of turnover positioning mechanism for automobile gauge. BACKGROUND
[0002] Automobile gauge is special testing equipment used to measure and evaluate the size and quality of parts in automobile production;During detection, the parts are installed on the automobile gauge, and then the part surface and periphery are checked by visual inspection, measuring table or caliper to realize rapid judgment of part quality status. During the use of automobile gauge, specific parts are often used to realize the movement or turnover of fixed distance. At present, the industry usually uses positioning pins that can be manually inserted and pulled out for limiting, so as to achieve accurate positioning. However, the movement or turnover of fixed distance has high requirements for precision, and the operation is difficult, only experienced operators can manually insert and pull out the positioning pins for limiting, and most operators need to take out the automobile gauge and then put the positioning pins into the hole for limiting, which is slow. Moreover, the structure of some automobile gauges is complex, it is difficult to directly observe the hole or the space is small, which makes it inconvenient to take and place the positioning pins, increasing the difficulty of operation. In addition, since the positioning pins can be taken out of the gauge body, they may be damaged or lost due to the negligence of the operator. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to overcome the above problems in the prior art, the present application provides a turnover positioning mechanism for automobile gauge, which is used for positioning the parts during detection. The turnover positioning mechanism for automobile gauge has reasonable design and low manufacturing cost. By providing a spring plunger with a specific structure on the mounting seat, the turning action of the swing arm can be limited to stop at a proper position, thereby realizing the positioning function, which is simple and convenient to operate and suitable for popularization and use. Moreover, the spring plunger is fixed on the mounting seat and does not need to be repeatedly inserted and pulled out, avoiding the loss, damage or confusion of the spring plunger due to random placement.
[0004] The technical scheme of the present application is as follows: a turnover positioning mechanism for automobile gauge, comprising a mounting seat; a swing arm is rotatably connected to the mounting seat; a detection plate is provided at the end of the swing arm; a positioning plate is provided on one side of the mounting seat; a spring plunger is provided on the positioning plate; the spring plunger comprises a positioning pin and a plunger body sleeved outside the positioning pin; the plunger body is hollow with open ends, one end of which is provided with a knob, and the other end is connected to the positioning plate; the tail of the positioning pin is fixed to the knob, and the head is inserted into the plunger body and located above the swing arm; a spring is provided inside the plunger body; the spring is sleeved outside the positioning pin, and the two ends are connected to the positioning pin and the plunger body respectively.
[0005] Compared with the prior art, the turnover positioning mechanism for automobile testing fixtures has reasonable design and low manufacturing cost. The mechanism comprises a mounting seat, a swing arm and a detection plate, and a spring plunger is fixedly connected to the side of the mounting seat through a positioning plate. The spring plunger is internally provided with a spring. The positioning pin can be extended or retracted by pulling or releasing the knob, thereby limiting the turnover action of the swing arm. Specifically, the knob is pulled first to extend the positioning pin, the swing arm is then turned upward to be located above the positioning pin, and the knob is then released to reset the positioning pin. At this time, the swing arm is limited by the positioning pin and cannot be turned downward again, that is, the positioning is completed. The operation is simple and convenient, and the mechanism is suitable for popularization and use. Moreover, the spring plunger is fixed to the mounting seat and does not need to be repeatedly inserted and pulled out, thereby avoiding the loss, damage or confusion of the spring plunger due to random placement.
[0006] When the swing arm is turned over, the knob needs to be pulled all the time. If the staff does not pay attention and does not pull the knob, the knob will retract, which can easily pinch the hand. Therefore, the turnover positioning mechanism is further improved.
[0007] The first improvement is that the head of the positioning pin is in a semispherical shape, and an A guide groove matched with the head of the positioning pin is formed in the top surface of the swing arm. At this time, the swing arm can be directly turned upward. When the A guide groove hits the head of the positioning pin, the positioning pin will be directly pressed to retract, and the knob does not need to be pulled again. Further, an outer thread is arranged on the outer circumferential surface of the plunger body, and an inner thread is arranged in the mounting hole of the positioning plate in correspondence. A B guide groove matched with the head of the positioning pin is formed in the bottom surface of the swing arm. When positioning is needed, the plunger body is rotated to make the head of the positioning pin exceed the position of the B guide groove. The bottom of the swing arm hits the positioning pin and cannot be turned downward any more, thereby achieving the positioning effect. When the swing arm needs to be reset, the plunger body is reversely rotated to make the B guide groove hit the head of the positioning pin, so that the positioning pin is directly pressed to retract when the swing arm is turned over.
[0008] The second improvement is that the knob is provided with a locking block, and the plunger body is provided with a locking groove matched with the locking block in correspondence. The number of the locking blocks is two and they are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the knob. The number of the locking grooves is also two and they are symmetrically distributed on the two sides of the plunger body. In the initial state, the locking blocks are located in the locking grooves. When in use, the knob is pulled and rotated by 90 degrees to make the end of the locking block abut against the end of the plunger body. The spring plunger is in a locked state, and the positioning pin is retracted. At this time, the swing arm will not be interfered by the positioning pin and can be turned upward and downward. After the swing arm is turned over to a suitable position, the knob is reversely rotated by 90 degrees. The positioning pin is reset under the action of the spring elastic force to limit the position of the swing arm.
[0009] As optimization, the aforementioned automobile gauge turnover positioning mechanism, the outer circumferential surface of one end of the plunger body is provided with an annular boss, and the other end is provided with a nut; the annular boss is in abutment with the outer side surface of the positioning plate, and the nut is in abutment with the inner side surface of the positioning plate, so as to fix the spring plunger on the positioning plate. When the spring plunger is installed, the nut is unscrewed, the plunger body is inserted into the mounting hole on the positioning plate until the annular boss is in abutment with the positioning plate, and then the nut is screwed to fix the spring plunger, so as to ensure the connection firmness between the spring plunger and the positioning plate and the strong working stability. Further, the positioning plate is L-shaped and includes a first mounting part and a second mounting part; the spring plunger is fixed on the first mounting part, and the second mounting part is fixed with the mounting seat through threaded connection. At this time, the connection structure is simple and firm.
