Example

[0035] Please see Figure 1-6 A car roof bracket, comprising:

[0036] Car roof support body 1;

[0037] Inspection panel 2, car roof bracket body 1 is mounted on inspection panel 2, and an installation groove 201 is provided on the back of inspection panel 2. A first positioning plate 3 is connected to one side of the installation groove 201, and a second positioning plate 4 is connected to the other side of the installation groove 201 through an adjustment component. The first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 cooperate to form a clamping and positioning structure.

[0038] The car roof bracket of this application is mainly composed of car roof bracket body 1, inspection panel 2, mounting groove 201, first positioning plate 3 and second positioning plate 4, etc. The following is a detailed description of its structure and working principle.

[0039] I. Detailed Structure and Connection Methods of Each Component

[0040] Installation of the car roof bracket body 1: The car roof bracket body 1 is installed on the inspection panel 2 for inspection. The inspection panel 2 is placed in the designated position in the work area, ensuring that the mounting groove 201 on its back is aligned with the edge of the work area. The inspection panel 2 has pre-drilled screw holes 207 at both the top and bottom ends, which are threadedly connected to the first positioning plate 3 via fastening bolts 301. This design allows the inspection panel 2 to be easily assembled and disassembled, adapting to different working environments and needs.

[0041] Connection and Adjustment of the First Positioning Plate 3 and the Second Positioning Plate 4: The first positioning plate 3 is connected to one side of the mounting groove 201, and the second positioning plate 4 is connected to the other side via an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly includes an inner movable groove 202 formed at the upper and lower ends of the fixture panel 2. An inner rod 203 is connected to the inner wall of the inner movable groove 202, and a sleeve block 204 is slidably sleeved on the inner rod 203. The outer end of the sleeve block 204 is connected to the outer wall of the second positioning plate 4, and a positioning spring 205 surrounding the inner rod 203 is provided between the sleeve block 204 and the inner movable groove 202. By pulling the second positioning plate 4 outward, the sleeve block 204 slides on the inner rod 203, and the distance between the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 can be adjusted to accommodate different working area widths.

[0042] Adjustment of locking sleeve 206: The outer end of the built-in rod 203 has an external thread section, on which the locking sleeve 206 is screwed. By rotating the locking sleeve 206, the elastic force of the positioning spring 205 on the sleeve block 204 and the second positioning plate 4 can be adjusted, thereby achieving precise adjustment of the position of the second positioning plate 4. If it is necessary to disassemble the second positioning plate 4, the locking sleeve 206 can be completely unscrewed and separated from the built-in rod 203, and then the sleeve block 204 can be moved along the built-in rod 203 out of the inner movable groove 202 to separate it from the inspection panel 2.

[0043] The fit between the limiting ear plate 208 and the limiting slot 302: The upper and lower ends of the mounting groove 201 are connected to the limiting ear plate 208, and the outer wall of the first positioning plate 3 is provided with a limiting slot 302 that matches the shape of the limiting ear plate 208. This design plays a role in pre-positioning during assembly. Simply move the limiting ear plate 208 along one end of the mounting groove 201 to engage with the limiting slot 302, which will restrict the movement of the first positioning plate 3 and facilitate subsequent assembly and fixation.

[0044] Installation and function of stabilizing pad 5: Stabilizing pads 5 are provided on the opposing clamping surfaces of the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4. The surface of the stabilizing pad 5 is provided with anti-slip texture. The stabilizing pad 5 is embedded in the corresponding mounting grooves on the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 through the evenly distributed mounting inserts 501 on its surface. The anti-slip texture design increases the friction of the contact surface and improves the clamping stability, while the elasticity of the mounting inserts 501 makes the stabilizing pad 5 easy to disassemble and replace after long-term wear.

[0045] Operating handle 401 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the second positioning plate 4. The design of the operating handle 401 makes it more convenient and less strenuous to adjust the position of the second positioning plate 4. At the same time, the outer surfaces of the first positioning plate 3, the second positioning plate 4 and the operating handle 401 are flush with the back of the inspection panel 2, without adding extra space.

[0046] II. Working Principle

[0047] Preparation and initial state before installation: After assembling the car roof bracket body 1, before inspecting the car roof bracket body 1, the inspection panel 2 is in an uninstalled and unfixed state. At this time, the first positioning plate 3 is connected and fixed to the inspection panel 2 by the fastening bolt 301, and the limiting ear plate 208 is inserted into the limiting slot 302 to ensure that the first positioning plate 3 is accurately and stably positioned on the inspection panel 2. The second positioning plate 4 is slidably connected to the built-in rod 203 through the sleeve block 204, and the positioning spring 205 is in a natural state or a certain initial compression state, so that the second positioning plate 4 can move within a certain range. At the same time, the operating handle 401 is fixed to the outer wall of the second positioning plate 4. The stabilizing pad 5 is firmly embedded in the clamping surface of the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 through the mounting plug 501, and the outer surfaces of the first positioning plate 3, the second positioning plate 4 and the operating handle 401 are flush with the back of the inspection panel 2.

[0048] When it is necessary to fix the inspection panel 2 in the working area, the operator holds the operating handle 401 and pulls the second positioning plate 4 outward. During this process, the second positioning plate 4 drives the sleeve block 204 to slide along the built-in rod 203 within the inner movable groove 202 at both ends of the inspection panel 2. At the same time, the positioning spring 205 is stretched, generating elastic force. By pulling the second positioning plate 4, the distance between the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 can be adjusted to fit the width of the working area. After adjusting to the appropriate position, stopping the force allows it to be clamped on both sides of the outer wall of the working area. After tightening, rotating the locking sleeve 206 will tighten it inward, pressing against the sleeve block 204, thereby limiting the sliding of the sleeve block 204 on the built-in rod 203, fixing the position of the second positioning plate 4, and further improving stability. At this time, the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 cooperate, and through the stabilizing pad 5, they are in close contact with the surface of the working area. The anti-slip texture on the surface of the stabilizing pad 5 increases friction, firmly clamping and fixing the inspection panel 2 to the working area.

[0049] During the inspection of the car roof bracket placed on the inspection panel 2, the inspection panel 2 needs to remain stable to ensure the accuracy of the inspection results. The clamping structure formed by the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4, under the elastic force of the positioning spring 205, continuously applies a certain pressure to the surface of the working area, ensuring that the stabilizing pad 5 is in close contact with the working area. The anti-slip design of the stabilizing pad 5 further prevents the inspection panel 2 from shifting. At the same time, the inspection device on the inspection panel 2 measures and judges various parameters of the car roof bracket. Due to the stable fixation of the inspection panel 2, the inspection process can proceed smoothly and obtain reliable inspection data.

[0050] When the inspection of the current position is completed and it is necessary to move the fixture panel 2 to another working area, first rotate the locking sleeve 206 to unscrew it, releasing the restriction on the sleeve block 204. At this time, the elastic force of the positioning spring 205 will cause the second positioning plate 4 to move away from the first positioning plate 3 (if the positioning spring 205 is in a stretched state). By pulling the second positioning plate 4 outward, the distance between the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4 is increased, making it easier to move the fixture panel 2 out of the current working area. If it is necessary to completely disassemble the first positioning plate 3 and the second positioning plate 4, the fastening bolt 301 can be unscrewed to separate the first positioning plate 3 from the fixture panel 2; further unscrew the locking sleeve 206, and move the sleeve block 204 along the built-in rod 203 out of the inner movable groove 202, thereby achieving the separation of the second positioning plate 4 from the fixture panel 2.

[0051] This car roof bracket design, through an adjustable clamping and positioning structure, enables convenient installation and disassembly in complex working environments, improving production efficiency, reducing production costs, and ensuring the accuracy and stability of testing.

[0052] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
