Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pawl testing, specifically to a seat belt pawl strength testing device. Background Technology
[0002] Automotive seatbelt assemblies are used to protect passengers and provide safety. The pawl of the seatbelt assembly is a crucial locking mechanism, ensuring the seatbelt locks quickly in the event of an accident to protect passengers from injury. When a car decelerates sharply or a collision occurs, the seatbelt pawl locks immediately, restricting the passenger's forward movement. To ensure passenger safety, the strength of the pawl's weak points needs to be tested. This is especially true for the pins in the pawl and the surrounding weak areas, which are stress concentration zones and critical nodes in the connection structure. Since the pins and weak points on the pawl are critical to the connection, the tensile strength of the pawl pins and weak points needs to be tested to ensure passenger safety. Currently, there is a lack of equipment in production to test the tensile strength of the pawl pins, making it impossible to effectively assess the strength of stress concentration points during production. To improve the quality control of pawls, a seatbelt pawl pin strength testing device is needed. Utility Model Content

[0055] The second guide housing 33 is installed inside the workbench 1. The second counterweight 34 is slidably installed inside the second guide housing 33. The second lifting cylinder is used to lift the second counterweight 34, causing the second counterweight 34 to rise along the second guide housing 33. The middle part of the second lever 31 is connected to the support frame 5. The detection bracket 11 is provided with a transverse sliding groove 12. The stamping seat 13 is provided with a vertical sliding groove 14 perpendicular to the transverse sliding groove 12. A second sliding pin 36 is connected to the end of the second lever 31 near the detection bracket 11. The second sliding pin 36 is movable. The second sliding pin 36 extends from the horizontal sliding groove 12 into the vertical sliding groove 14.

The lower end of the second connecting rod 31 extends into the second sliding hole. The second limiting block 35 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second connecting rod 32. The second limiting block 35 is slidably installed in the second sliding hole. The second limiting block 35 can only slide in the second sliding hole.
[0056] The principle of this utility model is as follows: First, when the initial state is set, the first cylinder, the second cylinder, and the reset cylinder 21 are all in the extended state. The first cylinder pulls the first weight 28 up to the upper part of the first guide housing 27, so that the first limiting block 29 is located at the lower part of the first sliding hole 30. The second cylinder pulls the second weight 34 up to the upper part of the second guide housing 33, so that the second limiting block 35 is located at the lower part of the second sliding hole. The reset cylinder 21 pulls the reset weight 20 up, so that the reset limiting block 25 is located at the upper part of the reset sliding hole 24.
[0057] Next, the reset assembly needs to adjust the detection assembly 6 to the initial position. Since the first hammer 28 does not apply tension to the first connecting rod 26 and the second hammer 34 does not apply tension to the second connecting rod 32, the detection assembly 6 can move up and down under the action of external force. When the reset cylinder 21 moves down, the hammer pulls the reset connecting rod 19 down to the reset bracket 17. The linear motion of the reset connecting rod 19 is converted into the rotation of the reset lever 18. The reset lever 18 drives the guide rod 15 to move up. The guide rod 15 drives the detection assembly 6 to move synchronously, so that the stamping seat 13 moves to the set position. Then the conveying mechanism 2 drives the clamping to move, and the measuring end of the pawl 4 enters the stamping groove 37.
[0058] When the stamping seat 13 needs to be pressed downwards, the reset cylinder 21 lifts the reset weight 20, so that the reset limit block 25 is located at the lower part of the reset sliding hole 24. The first lifting cylinder retracts, and the second lifting cylinder remains extended. The weight pulls the detection bracket 11 downwards through the first connecting rod 26. The detection bracket 11 acts on the stamping seat 13 through the upper spring 16. The stamping seat 13 moves downwards quickly and impacts the detection end of the pawl 4. At the same time, the stamping seat 13 pulls the guide rod 15 downwards. The guide rod 15 drives the reset lever 18 to rotate. The reset lever 18 pulls the reset connecting rod 19 upwards. Since the reset cylinder 21 lifts the reset weight 20 and the reset limit block 25 is located at the lower part of the reset sliding hole 24, the reset connecting rod 19 can move upwards accordingly under the action of the reset lever 18.
[0059] When the stamping seat 13 needs to be pressed upward, the reset hammer 20 remains placed on the reset bracket 17, so that the reset limit block 25 is located above the reset sliding hole 24. The first lifting cylinder remains extended, the second lifting cylinder retracts, and the hammer pulls the second lever 31 to rotate through the second connecting rod 32. The second lever 31 drives the detection bracket 11 to move upward. The detection bracket 11 acts on the stamping seat 13 through the spring 16 below, and the stamping seat 13 moves upward quickly to impact the detection end of the pawl 4. At the same time, the stamping seat 13 pulls the guide rod 15 to move upward, the guide rod 15 drives the reset lever 18 to rotate, and the reset lever 18 pushes the reset connecting rod 19 to move downward. Since the reset hammer 20 remains placed on the reset bracket 17 and the reset limit block 25 is located above the reset sliding hole 24, the reset connecting rod 19 can move downward accordingly under the action of the reset lever 18. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within this invention. No reference numerals in the claims should be construed as limiting the scope of the claims.
[0060] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
