Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive industry technology, specifically to an automotive paint color comparison device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the color matching process for automotive paint relies on consulting color charts to find the corresponding color. Traditionally, color charts are used by comparing each chart individually with a stack of cards until the closest match is found. However, due to the vast number of automotive colors, quickly finding the required color chart from a pile is difficult; flipping through them one by one is inaccurate and inconvenient.

[0003] A search revealed Chinese patent application number CN201720051546.9, which discloses a highly efficient and quick automotive paint color comparison device. The device includes a base, a rotating rod on top of the base, and a rotating shaft connecting the rod to the base. Multiple fixed plates are symmetrically arranged at equal intervals on the side wall of the rotating rod. A color matching plate is placed between every two fixed plates. The color matching plate is hinged to the upper side wall of the rotating rod via a hinge. Two fixing mechanisms are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the lower end of the color matching plate. This invention has a simple structure, solving the problem of traditional color matching cards making it difficult to find the color corresponding to the car, thus hindering the quick retrieval of the required color matching card. It also avoids the inconvenience of flipping through multiple color matching cards one by one.

[0004] In the process of implementing this utility model, the inventors discovered the following problems with the existing technology:

[0005] During use, the existing device can only display a small number of color charts, and the color charts are exposed to the outside, making it easy for dust to accumulate on their surface. It is necessary to clean the dust on each color chart regularly.

[0006] Therefore, this invention urgently needs to solve the problem of providing an automotive paint color comparison device that allows more color matching cards to be displayed from the storage tube during use, so that users can find them when not in use. When not in use, the display mechanism can store all the color matching cards in the storage tube, providing dust protection. Utility Model Content

[0007] To address the aforementioned technical problems, the purpose of this invention is to overcome the limitations of existing technologies that can only display a small number of color matching cards, and where the cards are exposed and prone to dust accumulation, requiring regular cleaning of each card. This invention provides a car paint color comparison device that, during use, allows more color matching cards to be displayed from a storage tube via a display mechanism for easy retrieval by the user when not in use. When not in use, the display mechanism allows all color matching cards to be stored in the storage tube, providing dust protection.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides an automotive paint color comparison device, the device comprising: a base, a storage tube coaxially fixed to the upper end of the base, and several flexible material color matching cards that can be stored in the storage tube or displayed from its interior via a display mechanism.

[0009] The display mechanism includes: a retractor, a slider, and a flexible display panel; wherein...

[0010] The storage tube has a vertically rotatable winding shaft inside. Several flexible display panels, capable of being wound around the shaft, are fixedly arranged at equal intervals along its circumference on the surface of the winding shaft. Each flexible display panel has several color matching cards evenly and detachably arranged on both sides. The upper end of the base has several guide grooves at equal intervals along its circumference, corresponding to all the flexible display panels. A slider is movably arranged in each guide groove, and a column is vertically fixed at the upper end of each slider. A return spring is horizontally fixed at the end of each guide groove near the storage tube. The free end of each return spring is fixed to the slider, and the free end of each flexible display panel passes through the storage tube and is fixed to the corresponding column.

[0011] Preferably, each slider is made of iron or magnetic material, and an electromagnet is pre-embedded at the bottom of each guide groove away from the storage cylinder, and the electromagnet can attract the slider when energized.

[0012] Preferably, the end portion of each of the guide grooves extends into the interior of the receiving cylinder to receive the compressed return spring.

[0013] Preferably, the storage tube has through holes at equal intervals along its circumference for all the flexible display panels to pass through, and two guide rollers are arranged vertically and rotatably at intervals inside the storage tube on both sides of each through hole, and each flexible display panel passes between its corresponding two guide rollers and then passes through the through hole from the inside of the storage tube.

[0014] Preferably, a motor is vertically fixed at the upper end of the base located inside the storage tube, and the output shaft of the motor is fixed to the bottom end of the winding shaft through a coupling.

[0015] Preferably, each of the flexible display panels is made of flexible PVC material or fabric material.

[0016] Preferably, each colorimetric card is attached to the flexible display board using double-sided adhesive.

[0017] According to the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the automotive paint color comparison device provided by this utility model in use are as follows:

[0018] (1) When in use, by rotating the take-up shaft to store all the flexible display boards in the take-up cylinder, each slider overcomes the force of the return spring and moves towards the take-up cylinder until it abuts against the take-up cylinder (at this time, each return spring is in a compressed state), thereby storing the flexible display board and the color matching cards fixed on both sides of it in the take-up cylinder to prevent the color matching cards from being exposed to the external environment and accumulating dust when not in use for a long time.

[0019] (2) When it is necessary to unfold the color charts on the flexible display board from the storage tube, rotate the take-up shaft in the opposite direction to unwind all the flexible display boards. During the unwinding process, each slider is pushed away from the storage tube in the guide groove by the action of its corresponding return spring, so that each flexible display board wound on the take-up shaft is unfolded from the take-up tube, so that the color charts fixed on the flexible display board are displayed (when the slider moves to the other end of the guide groove, the return spring is in a compressed state or a natural state, and at the same time, the flexible display board is just unwound and in a flat state) for the user to view.

[0020] (3) Since several color matching cards are evenly fixed on both sides of each flexible display board, when all the flexible display boards are displayed from the storage tube, more color matching cards can be displayed so that users can quickly find the corresponding color matching cards.

[0021] In summary, this utility model, through its display mechanism, allows more color charts to be displayed from the storage tube for users to find when not in use. When not in use, the display mechanism can store all the color charts in the storage tube, preventing dust accumulation.

[0022] Other features and advantages of this utility model will be described in detail in the following detailed description section; and all parts not covered in this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0030] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the present invention provides an automotive paint color comparison device, the device comprising: a base 1, a storage tube 2 coaxially fixed to the upper end of the base 1, and a plurality of flexible material color matching cards 12 that can be stored in the storage tube 2 or displayed from the inside therethrough by a display mechanism.

[0031] The display mechanism includes: a retractor 3, a slider 4, and a flexible display panel 6; wherein...

[0032] The storage tube 2 has a vertically and rotatably mounted winding shaft 3 inside. Several flexible display panels 6 are fixedly mounted at equal intervals along the circumference of the winding shaft 3, allowing them to be wound around it. Each flexible display panel 6 has several color matching cards 12 evenly and detachably mounted on both sides. The upper end of the base 1 has several guide grooves 7 at equal intervals along its circumference, corresponding one-to-one with all the flexible display panels 6. A slider 4 is movably mounted in each guide groove 7, and a column 5 is vertically fixed at the upper end of each slider 4. A return spring 9 is horizontally fixed at the end of each guide groove 7 near the storage tube 2, and the free end of each return spring 9 is fixed to the slider 4. The free end of each flexible display panel 6 passes through the storage tube 2 and is fixed to the corresponding column 5.

[0033] In the above scheme, the colorimetric card 12 can be a piece of paper with colors printed on it. Of course, the material of the colorimetric card 12 can also be the same as the material of the flexible display board 6, but it is not limited to the material mentioned above.

[0034] When using, such as Figure 1-3As shown, when the take-up shaft 3 is rotated to house all the flexible display panels 6 inside the take-up cylinder 2, each slider 4 overcomes the force of the return spring 9 and moves closer to the take-up cylinder 2 until it abuts against the take-up cylinder 2 (at this time, each return spring 9 is in a compressed state), thereby housing the flexible display panels 6 and the color matching cards 12 fixed on both sides inside the take-up cylinder 2 to prevent the color matching cards 12 from being exposed to the external environment and accumulating dust when not in use for a long time.

[0035] When it is necessary to unfold the color chart 12 on the flexible display panel 6 from the storage tube 2, the take-up shaft 3 is rotated in the opposite direction to unwind all the flexible display panels 6. During the unwinding process, each slider 4, under the action of its corresponding return spring 9, pushes the slider 4 away from the storage tube 2 in the guide groove 7, so that each flexible display panel 6 wound on the take-up shaft 3 is unfolded from the take-up tube 2, and the color chart 12 fixed on the flexible display panel 6 is displayed accordingly (when the slider 4 moves to the other end of the guide groove 7, the return spring 9 is in a compressed state or a natural state, and at the same time, the flexible display panel 6 is just unwound and in a flat state) for the user to view.

[0036] In addition, since several color matching cards 12 are evenly fixed on both sides of each of the flexible display boards 6, when all the flexible display boards 6 are displayed from the storage tube 2, more color matching cards 12 can be displayed so that users can quickly find the corresponding color matching card 12.

[0037] In summary, this utility model, through its display mechanism, allows more color matching cards 12 to be displayed from the storage tube 2 for users to find when not in use. When not in use, the display mechanism can store all the color matching cards 12 back into the storage tube 2, serving a dust-proof function.

[0038] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each slider 4 is made of iron or magnetic material, and an electromagnet 8 is pre-embedded at the bottom of each guide groove 7 away from the storage cylinder 2, and the electromagnet 8 can attract the slider 4 after being energized.

[0039] In the above scheme, a power supply for supplying power to all the electromagnets 8 is also fixedly installed on the base 1, and each electromagnet 8 is electrically connected to the power supply through a wire. When each slider 4 is made of magnetic material, the electromagnet 8 after being energized has a magnetism opposite to that of the slider 4, so that the energized electromagnet 8 and the slider 4 generate an attractive force.

[0040] When it is necessary to unfold each of the flexible display panels 6 from the take-up drum 2, all the electromagnets 8 are energized. After being energized, all the electromagnets 8 become magnetic, so that each slider 4 and its corresponding energized electromagnet 8 generate an attraction force. This assists the return spring 9 in helping the slider 8 move away from the take-up drum 2 and to the end of the guide groove 7. During this process, the flexible display panels 6, which are fixed on the slider 8 and unwound from the take-up shaft 3, can be fully unfolded from the take-up drum 2, so that all the color charts 12 on both sides of each flexible panel 6 are exposed.

[0041] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end portion of each of the guide grooves 7 extends into the interior of the receiving cylinder 2 to receive the compressed return spring 9.

[0042] In the above scheme, such as Figure 3 As shown, during the process of winding all the flexible display panels 6 by rotating the take-up shaft 3, the slider 4 moves closer to the take-up drum 2 during the traction of the flexible display panel 6 and compresses the return spring 9, so that each of the return springs 9 is in a compressed state and is compressed in the guide groove 7 located in the storage drum 2, so that the slider 4 can abut against the take-up drum 2 during the winding of the flexible display panel 6, so that the flexible display panel 6 can be completely stored in the storage drum 2.

[0043] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the storage tube 2 has through holes at equal intervals along its circumference for all the flexible display panels 6 to pass through, and two guide rollers 11 are arranged vertically and rotatably at intervals inside the storage tube 2 on both sides of each through hole, and each flexible display panel 6 passes between its corresponding two guide rollers 11 and then passes through the through hole from the inside of the storage tube 2.

[0044] In the above scheme, such as Figure 3 As shown, when the winding shaft 3 rotates to wind up all the flexible panels 6 on it, it can prevent the flexible panels 6 from contacting the inner wall of the through hole and thus from being worn down.

[0045] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a motor 10 is vertically fixed at the upper end of the base 1 located inside the storage cylinder 2, and the output shaft of the motor 10 is fixed to the bottom end of the winding shaft 3 through a coupling.

[0046] In the above scheme, the motor 10 drives the take-up shaft 3 to rotate in both directions, so that the take-up shaft 3 can perform take-up or unwound operations on all the flexible display panels 6 during the rotation in both directions.

[0047] In addition, the motor 10 can be a geared motor.

[0048] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the flexible display panels 6 is made of flexible PVC material or fabric material.

[0049] In the above scheme, the flexible display board 6 can be a PVC soft board, so that the flexible display board 6 can be wound on the winding shaft 3. The PVC soft plastic board is easy to bend. The soft polyvinyl chloride extruded board is made by adding plasticizers, stabilizers and other additives to polyvinyl chloride resin and then extruding it.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, each of the color matching cards 12 is attached to the flexible display board 6 with double-sided adhesive.

[0051] In the above solution, the double-sided adhesive can be used to firmly attach the colorimetric card 12 to the flexible display board 6, thereby improving the reliability and stability of its fixation.

[0052] In addition, each of the colorimetric cards 12 can be detachably fixed to the flexible display panel 6 using Velcro; wherein,

[0053] The back of the colorimetric card 12 is fixed with a sub-hook and loop fastener, while the flexible display panel 6 is fixed with a master hook and loop fastener that is attached to the sub-hook and loop fastener.

[0054] In summary, the automotive paint color comparison device provided by this utility model overcomes the problems of existing technologies that can only display a small number of color matching cards, and that the color matching cards are exposed to the outside, making it easy for dust to accumulate on their surface, requiring regular cleaning of the dust on each color matching card.

[0055] The preferred embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various simple modifications can be made to the technical solution of the present invention, and these simple modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0056] It should also be noted that the various specific technical features described in the above specific embodiments can be combined in any suitable way without contradiction. In order to avoid unnecessary repetition, this utility model will not describe the various possible combinations separately.

[0057] Furthermore, various different embodiments of this utility model can be combined in any way, as long as they do not violate the spirit of this utility model, they should also be regarded as the content disclosed by this utility model.
