[0026] The present disclosure provides a top trim mounting detection tool, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The top trim mounting detection tool is used for detecting a vehicle roof 2 and a groove 4 of a vehicle body side wall 3, the groove 4 is provided with a hook 5, and the top trim mounting detection tool includes a body 1, the body 1 includes a first fitting section 110, a first detection part 120 and a second detection part 130; the first fitting section 110 is used for fitting the vehicle roof 2 and the first side wall 401 of the groove 4 close to the vehicle roof 2, the first detection part 120 is towards the second side wall 402 of the groove 4 close to the vehicle body side wall 3, and is used for detecting the position of the second side wall 402, and the second detection part 130 is located between the first fitting section 110 and the first detection part 120, and is used for detecting the position of the hook 5.
[0027] By the above scheme, i.e. the top cover trim mounting detection tool provided by the present disclosure, when the tool is used to detect the groove between the vehicle top cover and the body side wall of the vehicle, the first fitting section 110 of the tool can be fitted on the vehicle top cover 2 and the first side wall 401 to achieve preliminary positioning, and then the gap size between the first detection part 120 and the second side wall 402 is detected by an external tool (for example, a gap ruler 6), so as to determine whether the width of the groove 4 meets the standard, and the position of the hook 5 can also be detected by the second detection part 130 located between the first fitting section 110 and the first detection part 120, and the distance between the hook 5 and the second detection part 130 can also be detected by an external tool (for example, a gap ruler 6), so as to determine whether the position and the bending degree of the hook 5 in the groove 4 meet the standard, and then it can be ensured that the vehicle top cover trim can be correctly installed in the groove 4 and stably buckled with the hook 5 after the detection meets the standard, thereby improving the success rate of correct installation of the top cover trim.
[0028] It should be noted that the external tool mentioned in the above embodiments can be any tool capable of detecting the gap value, for example, it can be a gap ruler 6 as shown in Figure 4 , and in the example of Figure 4 , the gap ruler 6 has a structure that the width gradually decreases from top to bottom and the transition is smooth, that is, it can be understood that when the position of the groove 4 between the vehicle top cover 2 and the body side wall 3 and the hook 5 in the groove 4 is detected by the top cover trim mounting detection tool, the first fitting section 110 can be fitted on the vehicle top cover 2 and the first side wall 401, and then the gap ruler 6 is inserted into the second detection part 130 or the first detection part 120 in the manner as shown in Figure 4 , when the opposite two side walls of the gap ruler 6 are respectively fitted on the first detection part 120 and the second side wall 402, the width of the groove 4 can be determined by the reading of the fitting part of the gap ruler 6; and when the opposite two side walls of the gap ruler 6 are respectively fitted on the second detection part 130 and the surface of the hook 5, the specific position of the hook 5 in the groove 4 can also be determined by the reading of the fitting part of the gap ruler 6, and the bending degree of the hook 5 can also be determined by detecting the distance between the hook 5 and the second detection part 130 at multiple different positions, which will be described in detail below, and no more description is given here.
[0029] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the second detection part 130 includes a U-shaped groove body, and the inner wall of the U-shaped groove body forms a second detection surface for detecting the gap of the hook 5. In this way, when the position and the bending degree of the hook 5 are detected, the hook 5 can be detected by the detection method of the U-shaped groove body cooperating with the gap ruler 6, that is, it can be combined with Figure 2 and Figure 4 , and the detection method of the hook 5 will be described in detail below. Figure 2In the specific embodiment, the distance marked by h1 can be the detection distance of the hook in the horizontal direction from the U-shaped groove body, and the distance marked by h2 can be the detection distance of the hook in the vertical direction from the U-shaped groove body. The distance h1 and h2 can be detected by the gap ruler 6, and then it can be determined whether the installation position of the hook 5 in the groove 4 meets the standard.
[0030] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The second detection surface includes a first surface 131, a second surface 132 and an arc-shaped transition part 133 connected in sequence, and the first surface 131, the second surface 132 and the arc-shaped transition part 133 form three detection points. In this way, the first surface 131, the second surface 132 and the arc-shaped transition part 133 can form three detection points respectively, so as to respectively detect the position of the top, side and arc part of the hook 5, that is, the height of the hook 5 in the vertical direction can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6, and the installation position of the hook 5 in the horizontal direction can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6, and the bending degree of the hook 5 can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6. Figure 2 and Figure 4 When the gap ruler 6 is attached to the first surface 131 and the top of the hook 5, the height of the hook 5 in the vertical direction can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6, so as to determine whether the height of the hook 5 meets the production standard; when the gap ruler 6 is attached to the second surface 132 and the side of the hook 5, the installation position of the hook 5 in the horizontal direction can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6, so as to determine whether the installation position of the hook 5 in the horizontal direction meets the production standard; and when the gap ruler 6 is attached to the arc-shaped transition part 133 and the bending part of the hook 5, the distance of the bending part of the hook 5 can be detected, and the distance of the bending part of the hook 5 can be detected by respectively attaching the gap ruler 6 to multiple different positions of the bending part of the hook 5 and multiple different positions of the arc-shaped transition part 133, so as to detect the bending degree of the hook 5, for example, when the distances between the multiple bending parts of the hook 5 and the arc-shaped transition part 133 are the same, it can be considered that the hook 5 is a constant curvature bending, and when the distances are different, it can be considered that the hook 5 is a variable curvature bending. The actual production needs of the hook 5 can be selected as a reference, and the disclosure does not make specific limitations.
[0031] In some embodiments, as shown in Figures 1 to 4 The detection mark line 101 is arranged on the side wall of the main body 1 close to the first surface 131 and / or the second surface 132. In this way, the detection mark line 101 can be used as a detection reference to determine whether the position of the hook 5 meets the standard, for example, the height of the hook 5 in the vertical direction can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6, and the installation position of the hook 5 in the horizontal direction can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6, and the bending degree of the hook 5 can be detected by the reading of the gap ruler 6. Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the main body 1 is provided with a detection mark line 101 near the first face 131 and the second face 132, and the scale value of the two detection mark lines 101 is both "3", that is, when the gap ruler 6 is attached to the first face 131 and the hook 5 or attached to the second face 132 and the hook 5, the reading result of the gap ruler 6 is 3mm, which can determine that the hook 5 meets the production standard. In addition, in Figure 1 , the main body 1 can also be provided with a detection mark line 101 near the side wall of the first detection part 120, which can be used to determine the width of the groove 4, that is, to determine Figure 1 and Figure 2 h3, which can determine whether the groove 4 meets the production standard, that is, Figure 1 , the scale value of the detection mark line 101 near the first detection part 120 can also be "3", that is, when the gap ruler 6 is attached to the first detection part 120 and the first side wall 401 of the groove 4, the reading result of the gap ruler 6 is 3mm, which can determine that the width of the groove 4 meets the production standard.
[0032] It should be noted that the scale value of the above detection mark line 101 is "3" is exemplary, in the embodiment not disclosed in the figure, the detection mark line 101 can also select other any suitable value according to the actual production standard of the vehicle, and in the actual detection process, the detection value is also allowed to have a tolerance, for example, the tolerance range can be ±0.5mm.
[0033] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the U-shaped groove body includes two inner side walls extending in the vertical direction, and a bottom wall extending in the horizontal direction and connected to the two inner side walls respectively, one of which forms the second face 132, and the bottom wall forms the first face 131. In this way, through the mutually perpendicular side walls and bottom wall, the horizontal and vertical distances of the hook 5 can be more accurately detected.
[0034] In some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the first attachment section 110 includes a first attachment part 111 and a second attachment part 112, the first attachment part 111 is used to attach the vehicle roof 2, and the second attachment part 112 is used to attach the first side wall 401. In this way, by attaching the vehicle roof 2 through the first attachment part 111 and attaching the first side wall 401 through the second attachment part 112, the top trim mounting detection tool can achieve more stable reference positioning before detection, that is, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 3 , the first face 131 and the second face 132 can be attached to the vehicle roof 2 and the first side wall 401 respectively, under this positioning condition, the worker only needs to hold the detection tool with one hand and operate the gap ruler 6 with the other hand to perform detection, thereby improving the convenience of operation in the detection process.
[0035] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the main body 1 also includes a clearance portion 140 located between the first fitting portion 111 and the second fitting portion 112. In this way, since an arc-shaped transition is typically provided between the vehicle roof 2 and the recess 4 (i.e.,...) Figure 2 As shown), the avoidance part 140 allows the first fitting part 111 and the second fitting part 112 of the detection tool to avoid the arc transition between the vehicle roof 2 and the groove 4 when fitting the first side wall 401 of the vehicle roof 2 and the groove 4, thereby improving the stability of the fitting and positioning, and also improving the accuracy of the detection results.
[0036] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the main body 1 also includes a second bonding section 150 connected to the first detection part 120. The second bonding section 150 is used to bond to the vehicle side panel 3. In this way, the second bonding section 150 can bond to the vehicle side panel 3 when the detection tool is performing detection, and can cooperate with the first bonding part 111 and the second bonding part 112 to achieve fixation, so as to further improve the positioning stability of the detection tool during the detection process and further improve the detection accuracy.
[0037] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the main body 1 also includes a hanging hole 160. In this way, the hanging hole 160 can be used to easily connect the testing tool with a key ring or other connecting tool. It should be noted that, since the top cover trim strip itself is relatively long, multiple hooks 5 are also arranged at intervals along the length of the groove 4. Furthermore, the groove 4 at different positions along its length and the specific shapes of the multiple hooks 5 will have slight differences. Therefore, multiple top cover trim strips with different structures can be used to install testing tools to test multiple hooks 5 separately. In addition, multiple top cover trim strip installation testing tools can also be connected to a key ring through the hanging hole 160, which makes it convenient for staff to carry.
[0038] In some implementations, reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the main body 1 is made of copper. In this way, the copper main body 1 has good structural strength and good corrosion resistance, which can improve the service life of the top cover trim installation and testing tool.
[0039] This disclosure exemplarily describes the use of the top cover trim installation detection tool, which may specifically include the following steps.
[0040] like Figure 2As shown, the first fitting part 111 of the roof trim installation detection tool is fitted to the roof of the vehicle, the second fitting part 112 is fitted to the first side wall 401 of the groove 4, the second fitting section 150 is fitted to the second side wall 402 of the groove 4, and after the fitting and positioning are completed, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the gap ruler 6 is inserted at h3, and the two sides of the gap ruler 6 are respectively fitted at the first detection part 120 and the second side wall 402, and the value of the gap ruler 6 is read to determine whether the width of the groove 4 meets the production standard. Then, the gap ruler 6 is inserted at h2, and the two sides of the gap ruler 6 are respectively fitted at the first face 131 and the top of the hook 5, and the value of the gap ruler 6 is read to determine whether the height of the hook 5 meets the production standard. Then, the gap ruler 6 is inserted at h1, and the two sides of the gap ruler 6 are respectively fitted at the second face 132 and the side wall of the hook 5, and the value of the gap ruler 6 is read to determine whether the position of the hook 5 in the horizontal direction meets the production standard. Then, the two ends of the gap ruler 6 can be further fitted at the bent part of the hook 5 and the arc-shaped transition part 133, and different positions of the arc-shaped transition part 133 are detected respectively, and the readings of the multiple detection results of the gap ruler 6 are read to determine the bending degree of the bent part of the hook 5. Thus, the detection is completed.
[0041] The preferred embodiments of the present disclosure are described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the present disclosure is not limited to the specific details in the above-described embodiments. Within the technical concept of the present disclosure, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solutions of the present disclosure, and these simple modifications all belong to the protection scope of the present disclosure.
[0042] In addition, it should be noted that each specific technical feature described in the above-described specific embodiments can be combined in any appropriate manner without contradiction, and in order to avoid unnecessary repetition, the present disclosure will not further describe various possible combination manners.
[0043] In addition, various different embodiments of the present disclosure can also be combined in any appropriate manner, as long as they do not deviate from the idea of the present disclosure, and they should also be considered as disclosed by the present disclosure.
