Simplifications or omissions may be made in this section, as well as in the abstract and title of this application, to avoid obscuring the purpose of these documents; however, such simplifications or omissions should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention.

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the current automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing, this utility model is proposed.

[0006] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing, which solves the problem that "in the process of testing automotive pipelines in the prior art, a single automotive pipeline is usually fixed on the testing device for testing, which not only leads to slow testing speed, but also requires workers to repeatedly load and unload automotive pipelines, increasing labor intensity".

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0008] An automatic feeding device for automotive piping testing includes:

[0009] The main unit includes a workbench, on one side of which a control panel is mounted;

[0010] The detection unit includes two sets of side plates fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench. Two sets of rotating shafts are rotatably connected between the two sets of side plates, and two sets of rotating wheels are fixedly connected to the surface of each rotating shaft. Each pair of rotating wheels is movably connected by a transmission belt. A drive motor is fixedly connected to the surface of one set of side plates, and the output end of the drive motor is fixedly connected to one set of rotating shafts. Several grooves are evenly opened on the outer surface of the two sets of transmission belts, and a tumbling assembly is provided between the two sets of transmission belts.

[0011] As a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing described in this utility model, the tumbling assembly includes a support base fixedly connected to the upper surface of the worktable, and a plurality of rubber rods are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base, and the upper surface of the rubber rods is horizontally aligned with the bottom surface of the inner wall of the groove.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing described in this utility model, an electric lifting platform is fixedly connected to one side surface of each of the two sets of side plates facing away from each other, and a support plate is fixedly connected to the upper output end of each electric lifting platform. A fixing plate is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate, and multiple sets of lasers and acoustic wave interactors are installed on the lower surface of the fixing plate.

[0013] As a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing described in this utility model, a feeding plate is provided on one side of each of the two sets of transmission belts, and the feeding plate is fixedly connected to the two sets of side fixing plates. The upper surface of the feeding plate is designed to be inclined.

[0014] As a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing described in this utility model, the upper surfaces of both sets of side fixing plates are fixedly connected to limiting plates, and the upper surfaces of the limiting plates are all arc-shaped.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing described in this utility model, baffles are provided on both sides of several grooves, and the baffles are fixedly connected to the transmission belt. The surface of each set of baffles is movably connected to the surface of the automotive pipeline.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The automotive tubing to be tested is placed on the surface of the groove via the arc-shaped surface of the limiting plate. Then, the drive motor is started via the control panel to rotate the rotating shaft. The rotating wheel, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, drives other rotating wheels to rotate via the transmission belt. The groove on the surface of the transmission belt causes the automotive tubing to move under the fixed plate. This allows the laser and acoustic wave interactor mounted on the lower surface of the fixed plate to detect the automotive tubing. At the same time, the moving automotive tubing comes into contact with the surface of the rubber rod, allowing the automotive tubing to rotate while moving. This facilitates comprehensive monitoring of the surface of the automotive tubing, improving detection accuracy and providing automatic feeding. The automotive tubing that has been tested will be automatically discharged along the inclined surface of the feeding plate.

[0018] 2. The electric lifting platform is activated via the control panel, which moves the support plate up and down. The fixed plate, which is fixedly connected to the support plate, drives the laser and acoustic wave interactor to move up and down flexibly, thereby adjusting the detection distance and improving practicality.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-4 This utility model provides an automatic feeding device for automotive pipeline testing, comprising:

[0030] The main unit 100 includes a workbench 101, and a control panel 102 is mounted on one side surface of the workbench 101.

[0031] The detection unit 200 includes two sets of side plates 201 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the workbench 101. Two sets of rotating shafts 202 are rotatably connected between the two sets of side plates 201, and two sets of rotating wheels 203 are fixedly connected to the surface of each rotating shaft 202. Each pair of rotating wheels 203 is movably connected through a transmission belt 204. A drive motor 206 is fixedly connected to the surface of one set of side plates 201, and the output shaft of the drive motor 206 is fixedly connected to one set of rotating shafts 202. Several grooves 205 are evenly opened on the outer surface of the two sets of transmission belts 204. A tumbling assembly 207 is provided between the two sets of transmission belts 204. The drive motor 206 is electrically connected to the control panel 102. The automotive pipeline to be tested is placed on the groove 205, and then the drive motor 206 drives the transmission belt 204 to rotate continuously, so that the automotive pipeline can move.

[0032] The tumbling assembly 207 includes a support base 207a fixedly connected to the upper surface of the worktable 101. Several rubber rods 207b are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support base 207a, and the upper surfaces of the rubber rods 207b are horizontally aligned with the bottom surface of the inner wall of the groove 205. This causes the rubber rods 207b to rub against the surface of the automotive piping placed inside the groove 205, thereby causing the automotive piping to tumble inside the groove 205.

[0033] Furthermore, an electric lifting platform 210 is fixedly connected to the opposite side surface of both sets of side plates 201, and a support plate 209 is fixedly connected to the upper output shaft of the electric lifting platform 210. A fixing plate 208 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 209, and multiple sets of lasers and acoustic wave interactors are installed on the lower surface of the fixing plate 208. The lasers and acoustic wave interactors are existing technologies. The lasers and acoustic wave interactors can detect the automotive pipelines, and the distance between the lasers and acoustic wave interactors and the automotive pipelines can be adjusted by the electric lifting platform 210.

[0034] Furthermore, a feeding plate 211 is provided on one side of each of the two sets of transmission belts 204, and the feeding plate 211 is fixedly connected to the two sets of side fixing plates 201. The upper surface of the feeding plate 211 is designed to be inclined to guide the metal pipeline after the inspection is completed.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper surfaces of both sets of side fixing plates 201 are fixedly connected to limiting plates 212, and the upper surfaces of the limiting plates 212 are all arc-shaped, which facilitates the placement of the automotive pipeline in the groove 205 and limits the placement of the automotive pipeline.

[0036] Furthermore, baffles 213 are provided on both sides of several grooves 205, and the baffles 213 are fixedly connected to the transmission belt 204. The surface of each set of baffles 213 is movably connected to the surface of the vehicle pipeline, which can block the vehicle pipeline and prevent the vehicle pipeline from sliding out of the groove 205.

[0037] During use, the vehicle pipeline to be tested is placed on the surface of the groove 205 through the arc-shaped surface of the limiting plate 212. Then, the drive motor 206 is started through the control panel 102 to drive the rotating shaft 202 to rotate. The rotating wheel 203, which is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 202, drives other rotating wheels 203 to rotate through the transmission belt 204. This causes the groove 205 on the surface of the transmission belt 204 to move the vehicle pipeline under the fixed plate 208. This allows the laser and acoustic wave interactor installed on the lower surface of the fixed plate 208 to detect the vehicle pipeline. At the same time, the moving vehicle pipeline comes into contact with the surface of the rubber rod 207b, allowing the vehicle pipeline to flip while moving, which facilitates comprehensive monitoring of the surface of the vehicle pipeline.

[0038] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solution of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solution of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
