Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of inspection tools, specifically relating to an inspection tool assembly for front seats. Background Technology
[0002] In modern automobile manufacturing, quality control of front seats is not only a key factor in ensuring passenger safety, but also an important aspect of improving ride comfort and overall vehicle quality. Traditionally, the inspection of front seats has relied primarily on manual measurement and stationary testing equipment. However, these methods have significant limitations:
[0003] 1. Inefficiency: The manual inspection process is time-consuming and labor-intensive, especially during peak production periods, making it difficult to meet the needs of rapid, large-scale production; each seat requires multiple manual inspection steps, which not only increases the workload but also extends the production cycle.
[0004] 2. Insufficient Accuracy: Due to human factors, such as differences in operator experience and skill level, the consistency and accuracy of test results can be affected. Furthermore, fixed testing equipment typically can only perform measurements under specific conditions, making it difficult to adapt to changes in front seats or design modifications across different vehicle models.

[0015] A flipping block, one end of which is connected to the assembly plate, and the other end of which is detachably connected to the clamping block;
[0016] The handle is rotated and is hinged to the assembly plate. A connecting plate is hinged between the handle and the flipping block, so that when the handle rotates relative to the assembly plate, it can drive the clamping block to move closer to or away from the adjustment part.
[0017] In the aforementioned fixture assembly for front seats, symmetrical limit blocks are provided on one side of the tooling plate, and the two limit blocks together form a limit cavity. The fixture also includes a material transfer trolley, and the limit blocks can be moved to abut against its side walls when the material transfer trolley extends into the limit cavity.
[0018] In the aforementioned inspection fixture assembly for front seats, the flip-up mechanism further includes:
[0019] A locking seat is provided on the tooling plate;

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0026] (1) The inspection tool assembly for front seats of this utility model makes the inspection process more flexible through the design of the flip-plate mechanism and the telescopic block. The position of the telescopic block can be adjusted as needed and the stability of the required position can be maintained.

[0039] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0040] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0041] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this utility model discloses a gauge assembly for a front seat, with a slide rail at the bottom of the front seat. The assembly includes: a tooling plate 1, on which a contour base 10 and a detection block 11 are mounted. The contour base 10 supports the front seat; the detection block 11 is located within the contour base 10 and is used to detect the fit error between the front seat and the slide rail; a telescopic mechanism 2 and a clamping mechanism 3 are located at the periphery of the contour base 10. A telescopic block 20 is movably mounted on the telescopic mechanism 2 in the horizontal direction, extending into the slide rail and moving tightly against it; a clamping block 30 is movably mounted on the clamping mechanism 3, pressing against the telescopic block 20 to limit displacement of the slide rail relative to the detection block 11; and a flipping mechanism 4 is located on one side of the contour base 10, with a detection plate 40 mounted on it. The detection plate 40 can move closer to or further away from the contour base 10 to detect the positional accuracy of the front seat.
[0042] Specifically, in this embodiment, the bottom wall of the front seat (not shown in the figure) is provided with a slide rail (not shown in the figure). The contour base 10 corresponds to the usage scenario inside the vehicle. When the front seat to be tested is placed on the contour base 10, ensure that its bottom slide rail is correctly aligned with the contour base 10. At this time, the contour base 10 provides stable support to ensure that the seat remains stable throughout the testing process. Activate the telescopic mechanism 2, causing the telescopic block 20 to move horizontally until it accurately enters and tightly engages with the slide rail. This process not only helps fix the seat position but also provides a basis for subsequent error detection (assembly accuracy of the slide rail and the simulated detection block 11). It should be noted that because front seats vary across different vehicle models, the relative position of the slide rail on the contour base 10 also differs. The telescopic block 20, when fully extended, combined with the clamping mechanism 3, restricts any possible displacement of the slide rail relative to the detection block 11, ensuring stability throughout the detection process and preventing assembly errors caused by minute displacements. This embodiment, through the combined use of the clamping mechanism 3 and the telescopic mechanism 2, facilitates separate operation of the adjustment and clamping functions, improving operational accuracy while enhancing the stability and reliability of the inspection. Simultaneously, the design of the flip-plate mechanism 4 increases flexibility during the inspection process, allowing inspectors to quickly adjust the position of the detection plate 40 according to actual needs in a single setup, adapting to the inspection requirements of different vehicle models. This design simplifies the operation process, improves work efficiency, and enhances the versatility and practicality of the inspection tool.
[0043] The telescopic block 20 consists of an adjustment part 200 and a pressing part 201. One end of the adjustment part 200 is movably connected to the telescopic mechanism 2, and the other end is connected to the pressing part 201. When the adjustment part 200 moves relative to the contour base 10, the pressing part 201 can extend into the slide rail and move against it.
[0044] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the specifications of the bottom slide rails are adjusted accordingly for different car models' front seats. Therefore, by moving the adjustment unit 200 relative to the contour base 10, the telescopic block 20 can be adjusted according to different slide rail sizes and shapes, increasing the flexibility and adaptability of the device. It is suitable for various front seat models and also achieves high-precision positioning inside the slide rail, allowing the clamping unit 201 to accurately extend into and tightly fit the slide rail, thereby improving the accuracy of the inspection. With the cooperation of the clamping block 30, the slide rail is fixed, greatly enhancing the stability during the inspection process, preventing any unnecessary displacement or shaking, and ensuring the consistency and reliability of each inspection result. This simplifies the operator's steps and improves work efficiency.
[0045] Preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also includes a clearance groove 100 on the contour base 10, into which the adjustment part 200 extends. The design of the clearance groove 100 provides the adjustment part 200 with a clear and unobstructed movement path, ensuring high precision and stability during movement and contributing to more accurate detection results, especially for critical dimension measurements requiring high consistency. Furthermore, it makes the movement of the adjustment part 200 smoother and more natural, effectively preventing positional interference or even collision damage between the adjustment part 200 and the contour base 10 during free adjustment, thus improving safety throughout the detection process and extending the service life of the fixture.
[0046] The telescopic mechanism 2 also includes a fixed seat 21 and a mounting seat 22. The fixed seat 21 is set on the tooling plate 1. The mounting seat 22 is detachably connected to the top of the fixed seat 21, and a locking post 220 is provided in the mounting seat 22. The adjustment part 200 has an oblong groove 200a, and the locking post 220 is movably locked into the oblong groove 200a.
[0047] More preferably, such as Figure 2As shown, during assembly, workers can assemble the mounting base 22 to the top of the fixed base 21 using screws and other connecting components. Of course, for different specifications of slide rails, this embodiment can adjust the position of the entire telescopic mechanism 2 by changing the height of the mounting base 22. During the adjustment of the adjusting part 200, the engaging column 220 remains stationary. The adjustment of the clamping part 201 relative to the slide rail is ultimately achieved by the movement of the waist-shaped groove 200a relative to the engaging column 220. Therefore, the design of the engaging column 220 and the waist-shaped groove 200a provides a clear and unobstructed movement path for the adjusting part 200, ensuring its high precision and stability during movement, and effectively preventing the adjusting part 200 from affecting the accuracy of the clamping position of the clamping part 201 on the slide rail due to positional offset or tilting.
[0048] More preferably, such as Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment also provides an inner groove 201a on the clamping part 201. As the adjustment part 200 gradually extends into the relief groove 100, the clamping part 201 also extends into the slide rail and moves tightly against it. The inner groove 201a design reduces the contact area between the clamping part 201 and the slide rail, reducing the friction and wear risk between them. This not only extends the service life of the equipment, but also reduces the maintenance frequency and cost, effectively avoiding the additional pressure or deformation problems caused by large-area contact, making the detection more accurate.
[0049] The clamping mechanism 3 also includes: a fixed block 31, which is set on the tooling plate 1, and an assembly plate 310 is installed on the top of the fixed block 31; a flipping block 32, one end of which is connected to the assembly plate 310, and the other end is detachably connected to the clamping block 30; and a rotating handle 33, which is movably hinged to the assembly plate 310, and a connecting plate 330 is movably hinged between the rotating handle 33 and the flipping block 32, so that when the rotating handle 33 rotates relative to the assembly plate 310, it can drive the clamping block 30 to move closer to or away from the adjusting part 200.
[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, after the adjusting part 200 has completed its initial positioning and extended into the slide rail, the operator begins to rotate the rotating handle 33. As the handle 33 rotates, the connecting plate 330 pulls the flipping block 32, causing the clamping block 30 to gradually approach the adjusting part 200 and eventually press against it. The same applies to releasing the clamping block 30. This design allows the operator to easily move the clamping block 30 closer to or further away from the adjusting part 200, greatly simplifying the operation process, reducing the difficulty of manual adjustment, and improving work efficiency. Furthermore, this structure can clamp the telescopic block 20 with appropriate force and angle, effectively preventing any displacement of the slide rail during the testing process. This not only enhances the stability of the entire testing process but also improves the consistency and reliability of the test results.
[0051] The flipping mechanism 4 also includes: a locking seat 41, which is disposed on the tooling plate 1; a rotating plate 42, the bottom end of which is movably hinged in the locking seat 41 and the top end is connected to the detection plate 40, which is used to drive the detection plate 40 to move closer to or away from the contour base 10; a locking member 43, which is disposed on the rotating plate 42, and the locking member 43 is used to limit the displacement of the rotating plate 42 relative to the locking seat 41; and a fixed handle 44, which is disposed on the detection plate 40, and the fixed handle 44 allows fingers to be inserted to assist the rotating plate 42 in flipping.
[0052] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, before operation, the operator silently checks the locking member 43 on the rotating plate 42 to ensure it is in the unlocked state. The design of the locking member 43 can restrict the movement of the rotating plate 42 when needed, preventing accidental displacement during the testing process. As the operator applies pushing force through the fixed handle 44, pushing the testing plate 40 closer to the contour base 10, the rotating plate 42 will rotate around the hinge point because the bottom end of the rotating plate 42 is hinged to the locking seat 41, thereby driving the testing plate 40 to gradually approach the front seat. During the flipping process, the fixed handle 44 provides a good gripping point, making the operation more effortless and precise. When the testing plate 40 reaches the suitable testing position, the operator activates the locking member 43 to lock it on the rotating plate 42. Relying on the locking member 43 to restrict the displacement of the rotating plate 42 relative to the locking seat 41, the operator ensures that the testing plate 40 remains stable during the testing process and will not shake or deviate due to external interference, significantly improving the reliability of the testing process and avoiding measurement errors caused by shaking or deviation of the testing plate 40.
[0053] The locking component 43 includes a connector 430 and a locking pin 431. The connector 430 is disposed on the rotating plate 42. One end of the locking pin 431 is detachably installed on the connector 430. A locking hole 410 is provided in the locking seat 41. The other end of the locking pin 431 is movably connected in the locking hole 410.
[0054] More preferably, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, when the rotating plate 42 rotates to Figure 4When the indicated position is reached, the locking pin 431 can be inserted into the locking hole 410. This action fixes the rotating plate 42 in its current position, preventing it from shifting or shaking due to external interference, and also ensuring the stability of the detection plate 40 during the detection process. It should be noted that the locking hole 410 is preferably a threaded hole, and the locking pin 431 is preferably a threaded shaft. As the connector 430 drives the locking pin 431 to rotate, the locking pin 431 can be fixed in the locking hole 410 through threaded engagement. Furthermore, the detection plate 40 in this embodiment also uses a similar structural principle to a contour block, sequentially achieving quality detection of the front seat.
[0055] A limiting block 12 is symmetrically arranged on one side of the tooling plate 1. The two limiting blocks 12 together form a limiting cavity 120. The fixture also includes a material transfer trolley 5. The limiting block 12 can move and press against its two side walls when the material transfer trolley 5 is inserted into the limiting cavity 120.
[0056] More preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the design of the limiting block 12 enables the material transfer trolley 5 to be quickly and accurately positioned next to the tooling plate 1, reducing the need for manual adjustment, simplifying the operation process, and improving work efficiency; at the same time, it effectively limits the displacement of the material transfer trolley 5, ensuring its stability throughout the entire inspection process, significantly improving the reliability and safety of the inspection process, avoiding operational errors caused by the shaking or deviation of the material transfer trolley 5, and protecting the safety of the operators.
[0057] More preferably, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a movable frame 13 is also connected to the bottom wall of the tooling plate 1. The movable frame 13 is equipped with rollers 14. The rollers 14 make the entire fixture more flexible and mobile, allowing the operator to quickly adjust the position of the fixture according to actual needs and adapt to different working environments and testing requirements.
