It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0019] refer to Figures 1-4The illustrated automotive drainage groove sheet metal contour gap gauge includes a base 1. A first contouring seat 2 and a second contouring seat 3 are fixedly connected to both sides of the base 1, respectively. A clearance slide 4 is slidably connected to the base 1 next to the second contouring seat 3. The clearance slide 4 can flip and avoid a flipping and pressing mechanism 8 on the side. A third contouring seat 5 is fixedly connected to the clearance slide 4. A first lower support plate 6 and a second lower support plate 7 are fixedly connected to the first contouring seat 2 and the second contouring seat 3, respectively. A flipping and pressing mechanism 8 is fixedly connected to the base 1 next to each first lower support plate 6. A pull-out rotary pressing mechanism 9 is fixedly connected to the base 1 next to each second lower support plate 7. Both the flipping and pressing mechanism 8 and the pull-out rotary pressing mechanism 9 are used to press the drainage groove workpiece. A side through groove 201 is opened on the side wall of the first contouring seat 2.
[0020] The first contouring seat 2, the second contouring seat 3, and the third contouring seat 5 are all provided with contouring grooves. The first lower support plate 6 and the second lower support plate 7 are both located in the contouring grooves. The presence of the first lower support plate 6 and the second lower support plate 7 results in a gap between the drainage groove workpiece and the contouring groove after it is placed. The gap is checked by inserting a plug gauge into the gap to determine whether the contour is qualified.
[0021] The contour groove on the first contouring seat 2 is connected to the side passage groove 201. The side passage groove 201 is provided to facilitate the unloading of the workpiece of the drainage trough after the test is completed.
[0022] A locking seat 10 is provided on the base 1 next to the yielding slide 4. Both the locking seat 10 and the yielding slide 4 have holes. The locking seat 10 can lock the position of the yielding slide 4 after it has slid.
[0023] The pull-out rotary clamping mechanism 9 includes a pull-out rod 901, a pull-out clamp 902, a handle sleeve 903, a spring 904, and a support 905. The pull-out rod 901 and the support 905 are both rotatably and slidably connected. The two ends of the pull-out rod 901 are fixedly connected to the pull-out clamp 902 and the handle sleeve 903, respectively. The support 905 is fixedly connected to the base 1.
[0024] A sector-shaped limiting plate 906 is fixedly connected to the handle sleeve 903, and an angle stop bar 907 is fixedly connected to the support 905. The angle stop bar 907 can limit the rotation angle of the pull rod 901, and the angle stop bar 907 is located in the notch of the sector-shaped limiting plate 906.
[0025] The flipping clamping mechanism 8 includes a fixed base, a quick clamp, and a flipping pressure plate. The fixed base is fixedly connected to the base 1, the quick clamp is fixedly connected to the fixed base, and the flipping pressure plate is fixedly connected to the flipping end of the quick clamp.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When using this utility model, the drainage groove is first positioned and placed. The drainage groove workpiece is placed along the first contour seat 2 and the second contour seat 3. The first contour seat 2 has a positioning hole. After the drainage groove workpiece is placed, it can be repositioned by inserting a positioning pin into the positioning hole. Then, the flipping clamping mechanism 8 and the pull-out rotating clamping mechanism 9 are used to clamp the drainage groove workpiece. After that, the relief slide 4 is pushed towards the drainage groove. The relief slide 4 is locked to the locking seat 10 by a pin. Finally, the gap between the drainage groove workpiece and the first contour seat 2, the second contour seat 3 and the third contour seat 5 is detected by inserting a detection pin into the hole groove on the drainage groove. If the plug gauge cannot be inserted into the gap or the detection pin cannot be inserted into the hole groove, the test is unqualified; otherwise, it is qualified.
[0027] The above embodiments are used to further illustrate the present invention, but do not limit the present invention to these specific embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be understood as being within the protection scope of the present invention.
