Detailed Implementation

[0024] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects to be solved by this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0025] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this application provides a calibration fixture for a tire bolt tightening machine, comprising: a clamping and fixing assembly 100, a support arm 200, a torque sensor 300, and a transmission component 400; wherein, the support arm 200 includes an upright portion 210 connected to the clamping and fixing assembly 100 and a cantilever portion 220 connected to the upright portion 210, a calibration bolt 230 is provided on the cantilever portion 220, and a calibration nut 240 is screwed onto the calibration bolt 230; the torque shaft of the torque sensor 300 is connected to a first connector 310 and a second connector 320 at both ends, the first connector 310 being used to connect to the rotating shaft 1-3 of the tightening machine, and the torque shaft of the torque sensor 300 being coaxial with the calibration bolt 230; the two ends of the transmission component 400 are connected to the calibration nut 240 and the second connector 320 respectively.

[0026] Compared with existing technologies, the calibration fixture provided in this application uses a clamping and fixing component 100 to fix the calibration fixture to an external carrier, preventing the fixture from rotating during the calibration process of the tightening machine. A torque sensor 300 is installed on the rotating shaft 1-3 of the tightening machine. When the rotating shaft 1-3 rotates, it drives the torque shaft of the torque sensor 300 and the calibration nut 240 to rotate, thereby controlling the tightness of the calibration bolt 230 and the calibration nut 240. The torque at which the tightness meets the requirements is the calibration value. Torque calibration is performed on all rotating shafts 1-3 sequentially. In actual use, when the tightening machine is working, it stops working when the torque reaches the calibration value, indicating that the tire bolts are properly tightened. This calibration fixture eliminates the need for direct torque calibration on the actual vehicle axle, offering greater convenience and avoiding the problem of stripped threads on the axle tire locking bolts during calibration, thus improving safety.

[0027] It should be noted that the holding assembly 100 can also be fixed on the host 1-1 or other fixed carriers. When in use, the torque sensor 300 can be held by hand to stabilize it.

[0028] In one embodiment, the holding assembly 100 includes a first clamping plate 110, a second clamping plate 120, and a fastener 130. The mating surfaces of the first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 are each provided with at least two clamping grooves 140 for clamping at least two guide sleeves 1-2. The first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 are connected by the fastener 130. Specifically, the first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 are in the shape of a square column and can be arranged in the gaps of the plurality of rotating shafts 1-3. The clamping grooves 140 on the first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 cooperate to form a limiting area surrounding the two guide sleeves 1-2. During the fastening of the first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 by the fastener 130, the holding assembly 100 is fixed on the two guide sleeves 1-2, ensuring that the calibration tool has sufficient stability, is easy to install and disassemble, and has a small volume.

[0029] In one embodiment, the fastener 130 includes a fastening bolt 131 and a fastening nut 132. Specifically, the first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 are each provided with two bolt holes, and two fastening bolts 131 are respectively arranged in the two bolt holes. The fastening nut 132 is screwed with the fastening bolt 131 to gradually approach the first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 and clamp and fix them on the guide sleeves 1-2. In some embodiments, the first clamping plate 110 and the second clamping plate 120 are each provided with 3 or more bolt holes, and 3 or more fastening bolts 131 are respectively arranged in the 3 or more bolt holes. The purpose is to ensure that the holding assembly 100 is firmly fixed on the guide sleeves 1-2, thereby ensuring the stability of the calibration tool.

[0030] In one embodiment, the inner surface of the clamping groove 140 is an arc surface or a V-shaped surface. In this way, the guide sleeves 1-2 can be clamped more stably.

[0031] In one embodiment, the vertical part 210 is fixedly connected with the first clamping plate 110. It can be understood that the vertical part 210 and the first clamping plate 110 are an integral whole, and the second clamping plate 120 is a separate component. Specifically, the bottom end of the vertical part 210 is connected with the end of the first clamping plate 110 by a screw or welding.

[0032] In one embodiment, the vertical part 210 and the cantilever part 220 are integrally formed and constitute an L-shaped structure.

[0033] In one embodiment, the cantilever part 220 is provided with a counterbore 221, the counterbore 221 comprises a hexagonal hole and a circular hole connected, and the calibration bolt 230 is arranged in the counterbore 221. When the calibration tool is assembled, first, the clamping and fixing assembly 100 is fixed on the tightening machine, according to the structure design of the support arm 200 and the opening position of the counterbore 221, the axis of the counterbore 221 coincides with the axis of the shaft 1-3 to be calibrated, allowing inevitable processing errors; then the torque sensor 300 is installed on the shaft 1-3, and the calibration nut 240 is installed on the torque sensor 300; then the calibration bolt 230 is installed in the counterbore 221, so that the end of the calibration bolt 230 is coaxial with the calibration nut 240, and the assembly is completed. In the process of torque calibration, the shaft 1-3 to be calibrated rotates through the torque sensor 300 to drive the calibration nut 240 to rotate, and the shaft 1-3 gradually advances, and the calibration nut 240 is screwed with the calibration bolt 230.

[0034] In one embodiment, the transmission part 400 is a tightening head 1-4 or an inner hexagonal sleeve, the two ends of the transmission part 400 are respectively matched with the calibration nut 240 and the connecting head two 320 through concave-convex structures, and the transmission part 400, the calibration nut 240 and the connecting head two 320 can rotate synchronously. It should be noted that the tightening head 1-4 can be detached from the shaft 1-3, and can be used as the transmission part 400 for torque calibration, thereby reducing the number of parts for manufacturing the calibration tool and reducing the cost.

[0035] In one embodiment, the torque sensor 300 is electrically connected with an industrial display screen 500. Specifically, the torque of the shaft 1-3 is transmitted to the industrial display screen 500 through the torque sensor 300 during the calibration process, the torque calibration value of a single shaft 1-3 is recorded, it is quickly judged whether the torque of the tightening machine meets the requirements, and the data can be stored and viewed in real time.

Therefore, any omissions, modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of one or more embodiments of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
