Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative labor are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0030] Embodiment 1

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 A front end frame pull rivet nut missing detection tool for automobile, comprising a frame 1, a plurality of first detection units 2, a second detection unit 3 and a horizontal drive unit 4, the frame 1 is provided with a workbench 11, the workbench 11 is provided with a support unit 111 for supporting the front end frame A and a pressing unit 5 for pressing the front end frame A on the support unit 111;

[0032] The plurality of first detection units 2 and the horizontal drive unit 4 are both arranged on the workbench 11;

[0033] The first detection unit 2 is located below the front end frame A and is used for detecting the nut C located at the bottom of the front end frame A;

[0034] The plurality of horizontal drive units 4 are arranged around the front end frame A, the second detection unit 3 corresponds to the horizontal drive unit 4 one by one, the second detection unit 3 is connected to the horizontal drive unit 4, the horizontal drive unit 4 is used for driving the second detection unit 3 to feed to the side surface of the front end frame A, and the second detection unit 3 is used for detecting the nut C located at the side surface of the front end frame A.

[0035] In this design, the operator places the front frame A on the support unit 111 and presses it by the pressing unit 5, wherein the front frame A is in contact with the support unit 111 at the same time as the first detection unit 2, the operator then starts the horizontal drive unit 4, and under the drive of the horizontal drive unit 4, the second detection unit 3 feeds to the side of the front frame A and detects the nut C on the side of the front frame A. After the detection is completed, the horizontal drive unit 4 and the pressing unit 5 are reset, and the front frame A is taken out.

[0036] In this way, the cooperation of the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 3 can simultaneously complete the missing detection of the side and bottom of the front frame A, improve the quality and efficiency, and reduce the difficulty of the worker's work.

[0037] Implicitly, the workbench 11 is also provided with a switch, which controls the action of the horizontal drive unit 4 and the pressing unit 5.

[0038] Preferably, the horizontal drive unit 4 comprises a first horizontal drive mechanism 41; a plurality of first horizontal drive mechanisms 41 are arranged around the front frame A, the first horizontal drive mechanism 41 comprises a first support block 411, a first cylinder 412 connected to the first support block 411, a first support 413 connected to the driving end of the first cylinder 412, and one or more second detection units 3 are arranged on the first support 413, and the second detection unit 3 matches the position of the nut C on the side of the front frame A.

[0039] In a specific embodiment, the number of second detection units 3 on the first support 413 needs to be determined according to the number of nuts C on the side of the front frame A, that is, when there are multiple nuts C with large spacing on the side of the front frame A, the first support 413 only needs to be provided with one second detection unit 3, and when there are multiple nuts C with small spacing or arranged in an up-down manner on the side of the front frame A, the first support 413 can be provided with a number of second detection units 3 according to the position of the nut C. In actual use, the first cylinder 412 drives the second detection unit 3 on the first support 413 to move to the side of the front frame A to realize missing detection of the nut C at the corresponding position.

[0040] In the embodiment, the horizontal driving unit 4 further comprises a second horizontal driving mechanism 42, which is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the front end frame A, and the second horizontal driving mechanism 42 comprises a second supporting block 421, a second cylinder 422 connected to the second supporting block 421, and a second support 423 connected to the driving end of the second cylinder 422. The second support 423 is in an L-shaped structure, and the second detection unit 3 is connected to the horizontal part 4231 and the vertical part 4232 of the second support 423. The front end frame A is provided with a protrusion B on both sides, and the second detection unit 3 on the second support 423 is matched with the position of the nut C on the protrusion B.

[0041] Specifically, the front end frame A is further provided with a protrusion B on both sides, such as the L-shaped support part in the steel-plastic front end frame A structure disclosed in Chinese Patent CN220743169U. In order to meet the detection requirements of the protrusion B, an L-shaped second support 423 is adopted, and a second detection unit 3 is connected to the horizontal part 4231 and the vertical part 4232 of the second support 423. Under the driving of the second cylinder 422, the second detection unit 3 on the second support 423 moves synchronously to the protrusion B direction, and detects the nuts C vertically distributed on the protrusion B, solving the problem that two second cylinders 422 are required to realize detection under the distribution condition.

[0042] It should be noted here that the vertical distribution mentioned above is the nuts C on the two faces of the protrusion B that are vertically distributed, and the horizontal part 4231, the vertical part 4232 and the two faces that are vertically distributed are matched.

[0043] In the embodiment, the supporting unit 111 comprises a first limiting block 1111 for supporting both sides of the front end frame A and a second limiting block 1112 for supporting both ends of the front end frame A. The first limiting block 1111 and the second limiting block 1112 cooperate to limit the movement of the front end frame A on the workbench 11.

[0044] It is implied that the first limiting block 1111 and the second limiting block 1112 can limit the movement of the front end frame A on the workbench 11, so the first limiting block 1111 and the second limiting block 1112 are both in an L-shaped structure. Specifically, after the front end frame A is placed on the first limiting block 1111 and the second limiting block 1112, the first limiting block 1111 simultaneously contacts both sides and the bottom of the front end frame A, and the part contacting the bottom is only a partial area close to the side surface of the front end frame A. Similarly, the second limiting block 1112 simultaneously contacts both ends and the bottom of the front end frame A, and the part contacting the bottom is only a partial area close to the end surface of the front end frame A. Preferably, the parts contacted by the first limiting block 1111 and the second limiting block 1112 are both the middle parts of the edge parts of the front end frame A.

[0045] Further, the second limiting block 1112 is further provided with a first metal induction proximity switch 1113. After the front end frame A is placed on the first limiting block 1111 and the second limiting block 1112, the first limiting block 1111 and the second limiting block 1112 limit the movement of the front end frame A, and at the same time, the first metal induction proximity switch 1113 matches the position of the corresponding nut C on the side surface of the front end frame A, and at the same time, the first metal induction proximity switch 1113 detects the missing nut C.

[0046] In the embodiment, the first detection unit 2 is a second metal induction proximity switch 21, and the second metal induction proximity switch 21 is connected to the workbench 11 through a connecting frame; and the second detection unit 3 is a third metal induction proximity switch 31.

[0047] It should be noted that the structures and functions of the first metal induction proximity switch 1113, the second metal induction proximity switch 21, and the third metal induction proximity switch 31 are completely the same. The first metal induction proximity switch 1113, the second metal induction proximity switch 21, and the third metal induction proximity switch 31 are connected through their own locking nuts C. It should be further noted that the metal induction proximity switch is a non-contact sensor, which mainly triggers a switch signal by sensing the electromagnetic field change when a metal object enters the sensing area. That is, when the metal object approaches the sensing head to a certain distance range, the switch will be triggered without actually contacting the target object.

[0048] It should be further noted that, as shown in Figures 1-4 , the first detection unit 2 is provided on the workbench 11 and cannot be actuated, and has no connection relationship with the first limiting block 1111; and the second detection unit 3 can be driven by the horizontal driving unit 4.

[0049] In the embodiment, the pressing unit 5 is a pressing cylinder 51, and the pressing cylinder 51 is arranged in the middle part of the front end frame A. Because a plurality of horizontal driving units 4 are arranged on the outer periphery of the front end frame A, and the front end frame A is a hollow area, the pressing cylinder 51 is arranged in the middle part of the front end frame A to avoid interference and improve space utilization.

[0050] Preferably, the workbench 11 is inclined. The inclined workbench 11 can facilitate the operator to place and take out the front end frame A.

[0051] Further, the workbench 11 is further provided with a display module 112, the display module 112 is electrically connected with the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 3, the display module 112 is located in the middle part of the front end frame A, and the display module 112 is used to display the detection results of the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 3.

[0052] In actual use, the display module 112 can adopt a display screen. Implicitly, a controller is further arranged inside the rack 1. Specifically, the signals output by the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 3 are transmitted to the controller, processed by the controller, and the positions detected by the first detection unit 2 and the second detection unit 3 are determined to have the nut C or not to have the nut C. Then the results are displayed by the display module 112.

[0053] Preferably, the bottom of the rack 1 is provided with a supporting leg 13 and a lockable roller 12. The rack 1 is further provided with an indicator lamp 14, which is electrically connected with the display module 112. The indicator lamp 14 cooperates with the display module 112 to feedback the detection results. Specifically, the indicator lamp 14 can adopt a red-green mode. When the first detection unit 2 and / or the second detection unit 3 detects missing installation, the display module 112 displays missing installation, and the indicator lamp 14 cooperates to light a red light. Conversely, the indicator lamp 14 lights a green light.

[0054] Regarding the display of the display module 112, a corresponding point position mode can be adopted. Specifically, each first detection unit 2 and each second detection unit 3 has a corresponding point position in the display module 112. Each point position also adopts a red-green mode. Specifically, when one of the first detection units 2 does not detect the nut C, the corresponding point position in the display module 112 displays red. When the corresponding point position detects the nut C, the corresponding point position displays green. In this way, the operator can easily find the missing installation position.

[0055] The above description is only the preferred embodiments of the present application. It should be noted that, for those skilled in the art, without departing from the principles of the present application, several improvements or modifications can be made. These improvements or modifications should also be considered as the protection scope of the present application.
