[0007] Furthermore, a fixed base is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the base plate, and the fixed base corresponds to the rangefinder and the second top plate.

[0008] The advantage of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting a fixed base, it is easy to fix the shock absorber to be tested on the base plate.

[0009] Furthermore, a circular hole is formed on the surface of the connecting plate, and the push rod is located inside the circular hole, with the outer surface of the push rod in sliding contact with the inner surface of the circular hole.

[0011] Furthermore, a first limiting block is fixedly installed on the top of the top rod, and the diameter of the first limiting block is larger than the diameter of the circular hole.

[0012] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that by setting a first limiting block on the push rod, the push rod can be prevented from detaching from the round hole.

[0013] Furthermore, the diameter of the top spring is larger than the diameter of the circular hole, and the top spring is sleeved on the outer surface of the top rod.

[0014] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that it helps to prevent the top spring from getting stuck in the round hole.

[0015] Furthermore, the connecting plate has two limiting holes on its surface, and the second top plate has two limiting slide rods fixedly installed on its upper surface and located in the limiting holes. The outer surface of the limiting slide rods slides in contact with the inner surface of the limiting holes.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the technical solution of this application has the following beneficial effects:

[0022] This automotive shock absorber height measuring machine features a rangefinder and a second top plate on a connecting plate, and a fixed base on a base plate. During use, the shock absorber to be tested is fixed to the base plate. A hydraulic cylinder moves the connecting plate and the second top plate downwards, using the second top plate to fix the shock absorber in place. The rangefinder can then be used to measure the height of four points on the end face of the shock absorber, thus ensuring the consistency of the shock absorber's height. This solves the problem of poor measurement accuracy, which is often achieved by using a tape measure or calipers to measure the height of the shock absorber after extension and compression, thus affecting the testing efficiency and effectiveness.
