[0002] The steel plate spring is the most widely used elastic element in the automobile suspension, which is an approximately equal-strength elastic beam composed of a plurality of alloy spring sheets of equal width but different lengths (the thickness can be equal or not equal). After installation, the two ends are naturally curved upward. When the impact force of the road is transmitted to the wheel, the steel plate deforms, plays a buffering and damping role, and the eye of the steel plate spring is seriously stressed, which is a weak point. In the automobile spring production process, the eye ear is a key process. The vertical parallelism of the steel plate spring eye determines whether the subsequent assembly can proceed normally, and more likely affects the quality of the whole vehicle.

[0003] The patent with the authorized announcement number CN114111532B discloses a steel plate spring eye vertical parallelism detection device, which comprises two measurement single-body mechanisms, each of which comprises an eye axis positioning module and a measurement module.

[0020] Example 1, as Figures 1-3 As shown in the figure, the leaf spring coil eye vertical parallelism detection device proposed in this embodiment includes a laser pointer 8, two support devices, two detection devices, and two release limiting mechanisms.

[0021] Both detection devices include an upper mounting plate 3, a cylinder 4, an annular transparent shell 6, a centering mechanism, and a release mechanism. The upper mounting plate 3 is connected to the upper end of the cylinder 4, and a limit frame 31 is connected to the upper mounting plate 3. A notch 311 is opened on one side of the lower end of the limit frame 31. Rotating the notch 311 to the side of the leaf spring makes the inner side of the notch contact the side of the leaf spring, thereby achieving horizontal angle limit of the detection device. The upper end of the notch 311 contacts the upper end of the leaf spring, thereby achieving height limit of the detection device. The annular transparent shell 6 is set on the outer periphery of the upper mounting plate 3. The annular transparent shell 6 is filled with a colored liquid, and a horizontal mark 7 is set on the surface of the annular transparent shell 6. The centering mechanism... The structure includes multiple sets of elastic clamping components, with at least three sets. Each set of elastic clamping components includes a clamping plate 5, an inner movable plate 16, a guide rod 9, and a spring 10. The guide rod 9 moves through the inner and outer sides of the cylinder 4, and its inner and outer ends are connected to the inner movable plate 16 and the clamping plate 5, respectively. The spring 10 is sleeved and installed on the outer periphery of the guide rod 9. A limiting ring 19 is provided on one end of the guide rod 9 near the inner side of the cylinder 4. There is a gap between the limiting ring 19 and the inner movable plate 16. The setting of the limiting ring 19 makes a certain gap between the inner movable plate 16 and the inner wall of the cylinder 4, so that the pointed part of the wedge block 15 can be easily inserted between the inner movable plate 16 and the inner wall of the cylinder 4.

[0022] The limit release mechanism is used to drive multiple inner movable plates 16 on the corresponding side centering mechanism to move inward synchronously; the two limit release mechanisms are respectively installed on the detection devices on both sides. The limit release mechanism includes a movable rod 11, a push plate 12 and multiple wedge blocks 15. The movable rod 11 movably passes through the upper mounting plate 3 and is vertically slidably connected to the upper mounting plate 3. The push plate 12 is connected to the outer end of the movable rod 11. The multiple wedge blocks 15 are all connected to the inner end of the movable rod 11. The multiple wedge blocks 15 are arranged one-to-one with the multiple inner movable plates 16.

[0023] The laser pointer 8 is mounted on the mounting plate 3 on one side; a dot is set on the mounting plate 3 on the other side. The laser pointer 8 emits a red beam of light towards the detection device on the other side. When the light spot falls on the dot, it proves that the two rolled ears are parallel; otherwise, the two rolled ears are not parallel.

[0024] Specifically, when inspecting the workpiece (leaf spring lug), place both ends of the workpiece on two support devices respectively, and ensure that the upper surfaces of the two support devices are horizontal before placing them.

[0025] The two detection devices are then installed. The cylinder 4 is aligned with the inner hole of the ear and the push plate 12 is pressed down, which drives multiple wedge blocks 15 to move downwards simultaneously. The inclined surface of the wedge block 15 presses the inner movable plate 16 towards the inner center of the cylinder 4, causing multiple clamping plates 5 to move inwards simultaneously, inserting the cylinder 4 into the inner hole of the ear. Then the push plate 12 is released, and the clamping plates 5 are reset under the elastic force of the spring 10. At this time, multiple clamping plates 5 are pressed against the inner wall of the ear, thus achieving the centering and alignment of the cylinder 4, making the cylinder 4 coaxial with the ear. Then the upper mounting plate 3 is rotated so that the limiting frame 31 contacts the side wall of the steel leaf spring, thereby positioning the horizontal rotation angle of the cylinder 4.

[0026] Finally, the operator observes whether the level of the colored liquid inside the annular transparent shell 6 is level with the horizontal mark 7. If it is level, it proves that the corresponding side of the rolled ear is perpendicular to the horizontal plane; otherwise, it proves that there is a processing error in the rolled ear. The laser pointer 8 is turned on, and the laser pointer 8 emits a red beam towards the detection device on the other side. When the light spot falls on the dot, it proves that the two rolled ears are parallel; otherwise, the two rolled ears are not parallel.

[0027] Example 2, as Figure 1 As shown, the leaf spring coil eye vertical parallelism detection device proposed in this embodiment, compared with the first embodiment, the support device in this embodiment includes a base 1, a horizontal support 2 and four adjustment devices. The horizontal support 2 is located above the base 1. A first level 17 and a second level 18 are respectively installed on the adjacent two sides of the horizontal support 2. The four adjustment devices are respectively distributed at the four corners of the horizontal support 2. Each of the four adjustment devices includes a screw 13 and a knob 14. The screw 13 is threadedly connected to the horizontal support 2, and the knob 14 is installed on the upper end of the screw 13.

[0028] In this embodiment, the operator can determine whether the upper surface of the horizontal support 2 is level by observing the second level 18 and the first level 17. If it is not level, the horizontal support 2 can be leveled by rotating the four screws 13 respectively.

[0029] The embodiment of the utility model is described in detail above in combination with the drawings, but the utility model is not limited to this, and various changes can be made within the knowledge range possessed by the person skilled in the art without departing from the purpose of the utility model.
