Forging dies allow tie rod ends to achieve geometric precision closest to the final product and can improve their internal structure, resulting in better mechanical properties.

[0003] Existing automotive tie rod ball joints come in various specifications, but existing testing devices cannot accommodate and stably clamp tie rod ball joints of different specifications. Furthermore, both ends of the tie rod ball joint need to be tested, but existing testing devices require disassembling and reassembling the tie rod ball joint to adjust its position for testing the other end. This operation is cumbersome and inconvenient, failing to meet the needs of operators. In addition, the testing devices cannot be adjusted to accommodate tie rod ball joints of different specifications. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment proposes an online testing device for automotive tie rod ball joints, comprising:

[0021] The device consists of a base 1, a ball head body 16, and a support platform 10. A set of feet 23 are installed on the lower end of the base 1. With the stabilizing effect of the feet 23, the operator can stably place the device in the designated position. A rotating groove 2 is opened on the upper end of the base 1. Two symmetrical clamping components are installed in the rotating groove 2. The clamping components include a fixing block 11 installed on the upper end of the support platform 10. A sliding groove 12 is opened on the fixing block 11. Two symmetrical sliders 13 are slidably connected in the sliding groove 12. A threaded rod 14 is threaded through one end of each of the two sliders 13. The two threaded rods 14 are in opposite directions. The ends of the two threaded rods 14 that are close to each other are fixedly connected. The ends of the two threaded rods 14 that are far from each other are rotatably connected through the fixing block 11. A knob is installed on the end of the threaded rod 14 that is far from the two fixing blocks 11. The operator can easily rotate the threaded rod 14 by rotating the knob, which makes it convenient for the operator to clamp the ball head body 16. A clamping block 15 is installed on the end of each of the two sliders 13 that is far from the sliding groove 12. The ball head body 16 is placed on the upper end of the two fixing blocks 11.

[0022] With the above structure, the operator can slide the slider 13 within the sliding groove 12 to complete the clamping work of the clamping block 15 on the ball head body 16. An adjustment assembly is installed on the base 1, including a support block 17 mounted on the upper surface of the base 1. The support block 17 is L-shaped, and a lifting cylinder 18 is installed at the end of the support block 17 away from the base 1. The lifting cylinder 18 is existing technology and can automatically lift the object connected to the output end. A stabilizing rod is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 18, and an adjustment cylinder is fixedly connected to the end of the stabilizing rod away from the support block 17. The main rod 19 has an adjustment groove, and a sliding block 20 is slidably connected in the adjustment groove. One end of the sliding block 20 is threaded through a screw 21, and both ends of the screw 21 are rotatably connected through it. A detector 22 is installed on the end of the adjustment rod 19 and the sliding block 20 away from the adjustment operation. The detector 22 is existing technology and can detect the ball head body 16. The rotating assembly includes a rotating port 3 opened in the rotating groove 2. A turntable 4 is rotatably connected in the rotating port 3. One end of the turntable 4 is fixedly connected to a rotating rod 5, and the other end of the rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected in the rotating groove 2.

[0023] One end of the rotating rod 5 is fixedly connected to a secondary gear 6. A rotating rod 7 is rotatably connected inside the rotating groove 2. One end of the rotating rod 7 is fixedly connected to a driving gear 8. The driving gear 8 meshes with the secondary gear 6. Through the above structure, rotating the rotating rod 7 can drive the driving gear 8 to rotate, thereby driving the secondary gear 6 to rotate, thus causing the rotating rod 5 to rotate, causing the turntable 4 to rotate inside the rotating opening 3, thereby rotating the ball head body 16. A rotating motor 9 is installed on the base 1. The rotating motor 9 is existing technology and can make the object connected to it rotate. A protective box is installed on the base 1, and the rotating motor 9 is installed inside the protective box. Through the protection of the protective box, the damage to the rotating motor 9 can be reduced and the service life of the device can be extended. The motor shaft of the rotating motor 9 rotates through the base 1 and is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating rod 7. The lower end of the support platform 10 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the turntable 4.

[0024] The detailed working process of this utility model is as follows:

[0025] First, the staff uses the foot pad 23 to stably place the device in the designated position. Then, the staff takes out the ball head body 16 and places it on the two fixed blocks 11. The staff then rotates the knob, which drives the threaded rod 14 to rotate, causing the slider 13 to slide in the sliding groove 12 until the clamping block 15 clamps the ball head body 16. Then, the staff opens the lifting cylinder 18 to lower the detector 22 to the designated position. Then, the staff rotates the screw 21, which drives the sliding block 20 to slide, thereby adjusting the position of the detector 22. The staff can then start the detection until the detection is completed. At this time, the staff turns on the rotating motor 9, which drives the rotating rod 7 to rotate, which drives the driving gear 8 to rotate, thereby causing the meshing auxiliary gear 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 5 to rotate, causing the turntable 4 to rotate in the rotating opening 3, thereby causing the support platform 10 to rotate, and causing the ball head body 16 to rotate until its other end rotates to the lower end of the detector 22. At this time, the staff can complete the detection work on the other end.

[0026] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions 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 solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
