Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing tooling technology, and in particular to a tooling for inspecting the deformation of aluminum products. Background Technology

[0002] With the current trend towards lightweight motorcycle shock absorbers, aluminum is the preferred material. However, this also leads to a problem: the products are prone to deformation after production. Therefore, employees typically need to use appropriate inspection and measuring tools to confirm dimensions before processing to avoid unnecessary waste.

[0003] The existing conventional handheld inspection method involves first fixing the product onto a designed fixture, and then manually moving the fixture to inspect the product. Because there are many deformable locations on the product, it is difficult for one fixture to inspect multiple areas of the product at the same time. This requires designing multiple fixtures for inspection, which leads to problems such as cumbersome inspection using multiple fixtures during subsequent employee inspection, more worker movements, and potentially longer inspection time. Therefore, this application proposes a fixture for inspecting the deformation of aluminum products. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the problems in the prior art where using multiple tooling for inspection is cumbersome, involves many worker actions, and may result in a long inspection time, and to propose a tooling for inspecting the deformation of aluminum products.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model: A tooling for inspecting the deformation of aluminum products, including a base, a first workpiece, and a second workpiece, and further comprising:

[0006] An L-shaped calf detection block is fixedly installed on the base. A first height reference block and a second height reference block are respectively installed on the two sides of the base. A double-hole detection block is fixedly installed in the middle of the base. Both sides of the double holes of the double-hole detection block are provided with clearance grooves.

[0007] Optionally, the first height reference block and the second height reference block are located on both sides of the dual-hole detection block.

[0008] Optionally, the first workpiece is placed on a first height reference block, and the second workpiece is placed on a second height reference block.

[0009] Optionally, both the dual-hole detection block and the L-shaped lower leg detection block are fixed to the base with screws and pins.

[0010] Optionally, both the first and second workpieces are provided with a small leg component, and the L-shaped small leg detection block is provided with a sliding groove that matches the small leg component.

[0011] Optionally, both the first workpiece and the second workpiece are provided with a first cylindrical insert and a second cylindrical insert, which match the double holes of the double-hole detection block.

[0012] Optionally, the L-shaped calf detection block is H-shaped.

[0013] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0014] This invention integrates the inspection fixtures for two products into a single set by setting up an L-shaped lower leg detection block, a double-hole detection block, and a clearance groove. This reduces fixture design costs and increases employee inspection time. Employees only need to check two detection blocks, reducing inspection steps and improving work efficiency.

[0015] Furthermore, by setting the double holes of the double-hole detection block, the double holes of the workpiece can serve as both design and inspection references, reducing the number of fixture parts, lowering fixture costs, simplifying fixture processing, reducing parts, and decreasing manufacturing costs and time.

[0016] This invention designs a tooling that is simple to operate and convenient to use. Employees only need to hold the product throughout the operation, eliminating unnecessary inspection steps. The inspection benchmark of the tooling is assimilated with the measurement position of the product, reducing the amount of tooling and lowering the design cost of the tooling.

[0028] Example

[0029] like Figure 1-3As shown, the present invention proposes an aluminum product deformation inspection fixture, including a base 1, a first workpiece 2 and a second workpiece 3, and an L-shaped leg detection block 4 fixedly installed on the base 1. A first height reference block 7 and a second height reference block 8 are respectively installed on the two sides of the base 1. A double-hole detection block 5 is fixedly installed in the middle of the base 1. Both the double-hole detection block 5 and the L-shaped leg detection block 4 are fixed to the base 1 by screws and pins, which facilitates the replacement and operation of the inspection fixture. Both sides of the double holes of the double-hole detection block 5 are provided with clearance grooves 6. The parting position of the product corresponds to the clearance grooves 6 opened in the double-hole detection block 5, which can avoid the influence of product parting burrs on product inspection.

[0030] In addition, the first height reference block 7 and the second height reference block 8 are located on both sides of the double-hole detection block 5. The shapes of the first height reference block 7 and the second height reference block 8 are different. The surface of the first height reference block 7 is rectangular, and the surface of the second height reference block 8 is triangular. This is conducive to error-proofing during inspection (because of similar products). The first height reference block 7 and the second height reference block 8 are used to support the product and ensure that the product is placed stably on the base 1. The L-shaped lower leg detection block 4 is I-shaped. Because of the existence of similar products, it can be universal and reduces the design of tooling.

[0031] Furthermore, the interior of the base 1 is hollowed out, and the fixture base 1 is machined as a whole. The upper surface of the fixture base 1 is machined flat, and part of the base 1 is removed. This is beneficial for creating a product avoidance area and for reducing weight, making the fixture easier to use. The L-shaped lower leg detection block 4 is used to detect the bending deformation of the product's lower leg. The fixture part is designed according to the shape and size of the product, and the fixture is made with an upper tolerance limit to detect deviations on the product.

[0032] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the first workpiece 2 is placed on the first height reference block 7, and the second workpiece 3 is placed on the second height reference block 8. Both the first workpiece 2 and the second workpiece 3 are provided with small leg parts 12. The L-shaped small leg detection block 4 is provided with a sliding groove 9 that matches the small leg parts 12. Both the first workpiece 2 and the second workpiece 3 are provided with a first cylindrical insert 10 and a second cylindrical insert 11. The first cylindrical insert 10 and the second cylindrical insert 11 match the double holes of the double hole detection block 5. The first cylindrical insert 10, the second cylindrical insert 11 and the small leg parts 12 are the easily deformable areas of the workpiece. The two cylindrical axes of the first cylindrical insert 10 and the second cylindrical insert 11 are used as the design reference and detection reference of the fixture. During the inspection, the double cylindrical first cylindrical insert 10 and the second cylindrical insert 11 of the product need to be slowly pushed into the double holes of the double hole detection block 5 of the fixture. This will drive the small leg parts 12 of the workpiece into the L-shaped small leg detection block 4. If they cannot be pushed in, the product is out of tolerance and unqualified. Otherwise, it can be used.

[0033] In this embodiment, the first workpiece 2 and the second workpiece 3 are first placed on the base 1, so that the first workpiece 2 is located on the first height reference block 7 and the second workpiece 3 is located on the second height reference block 8. The two cylindrical axes of the first cylindrical insert 10 and the second cylindrical insert 11 are used as the design reference and inspection reference of the fixture. During inspection, the double cylinders of the product (the first cylindrical insert 10 and the second cylindrical insert 11) need to be slowly pushed into the double holes of the double hole inspection block 5 of the fixture. This drives the workpiece leg 12 into the L-shaped leg inspection block 4. If it cannot be pushed in, the product is out of tolerance and unqualified. Otherwise, it can be used.

[0034] The above specific embodiments are merely several optional embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
