Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive processing technology, specifically to an inspection tool for automotive front wheel brackets. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the front wheel bracket is a key component of automobiles, and its dimensional accuracy and surface quality directly affect the vehicle's handling performance and safety.
[0003] Currently, traditional methods for inspecting automotive front wheel brackets mainly suffer from the following technical bottlenecks: First, most methods rely on manual measurement or single-point positioning, such as using dial indicators, feeler gauges, and other tools to measure the bracket surface contour point by point. This is not only inefficient, but also prone to missing areas due to the discontinuous measurement path, making it difficult to achieve complete circumferential inspection. Second, the positioning methods of existing inspection equipment lack stability. When using single-point or asymmetrical clamping, the workpiece is prone to shifting or slipping during the inspection process, resulting in distorted inspection data that cannot accurately reflect the actual deformation of the bracket.

A lifting plate is slidably connected inside the fixed frame. A through hole is opened on the surface of the lifting plate, and a vertical rod is slidably connected in the through hole. The end of the vertical rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame. An extension plate is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lifting plate. A through groove is opened on the surface of the extension plate, and a roller is rotatably connected inside the through groove.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a front wheel bracket inspection tool for automobiles, which has the following features:
[0013] Beneficial effects:
[0014] 1. This automotive front wheel bracket inspection fixture uses a motor-driven bearing plate to rotate, which in turn rotates the main body of the front wheel bracket. In conjunction with rollers rolling along the surface contour, it achieves comprehensive circumferential bending defect detection without blind spots. The displacement of the lifting plate is directly converted into numerical values through a scale, making the quantitative results more intuitive and accurate, and reducing the rate of human error.
[0015] 2. This automotive front wheel bracket inspection fixture uses a screw threaded sleeve transmission structure to drive four sets of contact plates to move synchronously, achieving uniform annular clamping of the inner ring wall of the front wheel bracket. Multiple sets of anti-slip grooves on the surface of the contact plates tightly engage with the inner ring wall, ensuring that the workpiece and the bearing plate rotate synchronously without slippage, thus avoiding distortion of inspection data caused by relative rotation.

[0020] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a front wheel bracket inspection fixture for automobiles, including a workbench 1. Four sets of symmetrically arranged support legs are fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the workbench 1, ensuring the fixture is stably placed on a plane. A carrier plate 2 is rotatably connected to the surface of the workbench 1, and a front wheel bracket body 21 is placed on the surface of the carrier plate 2. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the workbench 1, and the output shaft of the motor 3 passes through and is rotatably connected to the surface of the workbench 1. The output shaft of the motor 3 drives the carrier plate 2, causing the front wheel bracket body 21 placed on the carrier plate 2 to rotate. This, in conjunction with the inspection component 6, allows for a comprehensive inspection of the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21, avoiding any missed areas. Four sets of symmetrically arranged sliding grooves 4 are formed on the surface of the carrier plate 2. A positioning component 5 is installed inside each sliding groove 4. The sliding grooves 4 provide a track for the sliding plate 51 in the positioning component 5, which is used to position the front wheel bracket body 21.
[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, the positioning component 5 includes a sliding plate 51, which is slidably connected inside the slide groove 4. A through hole is provided on the side wall of the sliding plate 51, and a guide rod 52 is slidably connected in the through hole. The end of the guide rod 52 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the slide groove 4. The guide rod 52 positions and guides the sliding plate 51, allowing it to move stably within the slide groove 4. A contact plate 53 is fixedly connected to one side of the sliding plate 51. The contact plate 53 is in contact with the inner ring wall of the front wheel bracket body 21. Multiple sets of evenly distributed anti-slip grooves are provided on the side wall of the contact plate 53. The sliding plate 51 drives the contact plate 53 to move, bringing it into contact with the inner ring wall of the front wheel bracket body 21. The multiple anti-slip grooves increase the friction of the inner ring wall of the front wheel bracket body 21, ensuring that the front wheel bracket body 21 rotates synchronously with the bearing plate 2. A traction plate 54 is hinged to the other side of the slide plate 51. A threaded sleeve 55 is hinged to the end of the traction plate 54. A lead screw 56 is threaded inside the threaded sleeve 55. One end of the lead screw 56 is rotatably connected to the surface of the bearing plate 2, and the other end of the lead screw 56 is fixedly connected to a rotating wheel 57. By rotating the rotating wheel 57, the lead screw 56 is driven to rotate. The threaded sleeve 55 drives the traction plate 54 to push the slide plate 51 and the contact plate 53 close to the inner ring wall of the front wheel bracket body 21. The four sets of slide plates 51 and contact plates 53 are used to position the front wheel bracket body 21, ensuring the stability of the front wheel bracket body 21 during the testing process.
[0022] like Figures 1-3As shown, a detection component 6 is provided on the surface of the workbench 1. The detection component 6 includes a fixed frame 61, which is fixedly connected to the surface of the workbench 1. A lifting plate 62 is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 61. A through hole is opened on the surface of the lifting plate 62, and a vertical rod 63 is slidably connected in the through hole. The end of the vertical rod 63 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the fixed frame 61. The vertical rod 63 is used to position and guide the lifting plate 62, so that the lifting plate 62 can move stably in the vertical direction. The surface of the lifting plate 62 and the inner wall of the fixed frame 61 are elastically connected by a return spring. The return spring provides downward pressure to the lifting plate 62 and makes the lifting plate 62 quickly return to its original position when its position changes.
[0023] like Figures 1-3 As shown, an extension plate 64 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lifting plate 62. A through groove 65 is formed on the surface of the extension plate 64, and a roller 66 is rotatably connected inside the through groove 65. The roller 66 is in contact with the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21. The extension plate 64 moves up and down with the lifting plate 62, and the roller 66 contacts the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21. When the front wheel bracket body 21 rotates, the roller 66 rolls along the contour of the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21. When a part of the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21 bulges upward, the roller 66 is lifted up, pushing the lifting plate 62 to move upward against the spring force of the return spring. When a part of the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21 is concave downward, the return spring pushes the lifting plate 62 to move downward, causing the roller 66 to fall into the concave area. Thus, the displacement of the lifting plate 62 directly reflects the bending amplitude of the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21. A scale 67 is fixedly connected to the surface of the lifting plate 62. The scale 67 passes through and is slidably connected to the top of the fixed frame 61. By moving the scale 67 synchronously with the lifting plate 62, the specific value of the bending deformation can be quantified based on the change in the reading of the scale 67.
[0024] In this invention, during use, the front wheel bracket body 21 is placed in the center of the bearing plate 2. Rotating the rotating wheel 57, through the threaded transmission between the lead screw 56 and the threaded sleeve 55, drives the traction plate 54 to push the sliding plate 51, causing the four sets of contact plates 53 to adhere to the inner ring wall of the front wheel bracket body 21, and applying appropriate clamping force to ensure that the front wheel bracket body 21 does not wobble and is fixed integrally with the bearing plate 2. The lifting plate 62 is manually adjusted so that the roller 66 contacts the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21. At this time, the return spring is compressed, and the output shaft of the motor 3 drives the bearing plate 2 to rotate horizontally at a constant speed. The front wheel bracket body 21 rotates accordingly, and the roller 66 moves along the front wheel bracket body 2... 1. Surface rolling: If the workpiece surface is flat, roller 66 maintains a constant height, lifting plate 62 remains stationary, and scale 67 reads zero. If the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21 has a local bulge, roller 66 is lifted, pushing lifting plate 62 upward against the return spring force, and scale 67 displays a positive reading. If the surface of the front wheel bracket body 21 has a local depression, the return spring pushes lifting plate 62 downward, roller 66 falls into the depression area, and scale 67 displays a negative reading. During one revolution of the front wheel bracket body 21, observe the change in scale 67 reading, record the maximum positive deviation and the maximum negative deviation, and complete the inspection of the front wheel bracket body 21.
[0025] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
