Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection tool technology, specifically to an inspection device for automobile front wheel arches. Background Technology

[0002] The front wheel arch cover is a key covering component installed above the front wheels of a vehicle, serving multiple functions including protection, noise reduction, and aesthetics. Its main material is primarily engineering plastics or high-strength rubber, while some high-end models utilize a hybrid structure of aluminum alloy and composite materials, formed through injection molding or stamping processes. To ensure the installation requirements of the front wheel arch cover are met, it needs to be inspected after processing.

[0003] For example, a rapid inspection tool for an automotive wheel arch assembly, disclosed in CN108709476B, includes a reference plate and a detection component mounted on the reference plate for detecting the height of a positioning sheet metal. The detection component includes a detection base mounted on the reference plate and a lever rotatably mounted on the detection base. One end of the lever has an abutment rod that abuts against the lower end of the positioning sheet metal, and the other end has a comparison rod. The reference plate has a distance measuring component for measuring the vertical movement distance of the comparison rod. When the automotive wheel arch is fixed, the lower end of the positioning sheet metal pushes the upper end of the abutment rod, causing the lever to rotate, which in turn causes the comparison rod to rise. The distance measuring component on the reference plate measures the vertical movement distance of the comparison rod. The offset distance of the positioning sheet metal pushing the abutment rod is quickly measured by the distance measuring component, thereby realizing the detection of the position and size of the positioning sheet metal.

[0004] The aforementioned inspection tools have low inspection efficiency and are difficult to inspect the contour of the front wheel arch of a car from all angles, resulting in a small inspection range. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0027] refer to Figure 1The automotive front wheel arch inspection device of this embodiment includes a base 1. A support mechanism 2 is fixedly connected to the top center of the base 1 for supporting and positioning the workpiece to be tested. The support mechanism 2 includes several contour blocks 203. Several first mounting seats 3 are fixedly connected around the support mechanism 2 on the top of the base 1. The top of the first mounting seats 3 is disposed on a clamping mechanism 4 for clamping and fixing the workpiece to be tested. Several second mounting seats 5 are fixedly connected around the support mechanism 2 on the top of the base 1. A flip-plate inspection mechanism 6 is disposed on the top of the second mounting seats 5 for detecting the position of the holes and grooves of the workpiece to be tested. The flip-plate inspection mechanism 6 includes a contour plate 603. Several inspection holes 8 are opened on the side walls of both the contour blocks 203 and the contour plate 603. Inspection pins 7 are detachably connected inside the inspection holes 8. During inspection, the clamping mechanism 4 and the flip-plate are... The inspection mechanism 6 is opened, and the workpiece to be tested is placed on top of the support mechanism 2. It is supported and positioned by the contour block 203. After the workpiece is positioned, the clamping mechanism 4 is closed to clamp and fix the workpiece. Then, the flip-plate inspection mechanism 6 is closed so that the contour plate 603 corresponds to the contour of the workpiece and maintains a certain gap. At this time, the inspection holes 8 on the side wall of the contour block 203 and the contour plate 603 correspond to the positions of the holes and grooves on the workpiece surface. The inspection pin 7 is inserted into the interior of the inspection hole 8. If the inspection pin 7 can pass smoothly, the hole position of the product is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified. This achieves efficient inspection of the position of the holes and grooves on the workpiece surface. Then, the no-go gauge and the flush gauge are inserted into the gap between the surface of the workpiece and the contour plate 603 to inspect the outline of the workpiece, thereby achieving all-round contour inspection of the workpiece.

[0028] The support mechanism 2 includes a base 201, a support block 202 fixedly connected to the top of the base 201, and several contour blocks 203 fixedly disposed on the side wall and top of the base 201. Several movable pins 206 are slidably connected to the top of the support block 202, and the movable pins 206 are connected to the support block 202 by springs. A positioning block 205 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable pins 206, and the clamping end of the clamping mechanism 4 faces the positioning block 205. Several positioning holes 204 are opened on the top of the support block 202, and positioning elements are detachably disposed inside the positioning holes 204. When clamping and positioning the workpiece to be tested, the workpiece is placed on the top of the support block 202, so that the inner wall reference surface of the workpiece is in contact with the side wall of the positioning block 205 and the contour block 203 on the top of the support block 202. Then, the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole 204 to perform preliminary positioning of the workpiece to be tested. Finally, the clamping mechanism 4 is closed, so that the clamping end of the clamping mechanism 4 at the corresponding position abuts against the positioning block 205. During clamping, the spring can buffer the workpiece to be tested to avoid friction between the workpiece and the support block 202, which would cause damage to the workpiece.

[0029] The flip-plate inspection mechanism 6 includes a flip base 601, a flip plate 602 hinged to the side of the flip base 601 facing the support mechanism 2, and a contour plate 603 fixedly connected to the other end of the flip plate 602. A limit block 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the side of the flip base 601 away from the support mechanism 2. During inspection, the flip plate 602 is rotated towards the support mechanism 2, causing the contour plate 603 at the other end of the flip plate 602 to rotate towards the workpiece to be tested until the contour plate 603 and the workpiece are in one-to-one correspondence and maintain a certain gap.

[0030] It also includes a first detection block 9, a second detection block 10, a third detection block 11, a fourth detection block 12, a fifth detection block 13, and a sixth detection block 14. The side walls of the first detection block 9, the third detection block 11, and the fourth detection block 12 are detachably connected with locking pins, and the side walls of the first detection block 9, the second detection block 10, the third detection block 11, and the fourth detection block 12 are all fixedly connected with handles. After inspecting the position and contour of the holes and grooves, the first inspection block 9, the third inspection block 11, and the fourth inspection block 12 are held and inserted into the corresponding holes and grooves on the inner wall of the workpiece under the corresponding reference. Then, the ends of the blocks are fixed to one side of the inner wall of the workpiece by locking pins, while the other end of the blocks maintains a certain gap with the inner wall of the workpiece. The check is performed by checking this gap. If the go end of the check gauge passes through and the stop end stops, the inner wall dimension of the workpiece is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified. After the inspection is completed, the second inspection block 10 is held and inserted into the corresponding hole on the inner side of the workpiece to inspect the depth of the groove inside the workpiece. Finally, the fifth inspection block 13 and the sixth inspection block 14 are inserted into the rib groove on the outer wall of the workpiece to inspect the contour of the outer wall rib groove of the workpiece, thus realizing the all-round contour inspection of the workpiece.

[0031] Working principle: During testing, the clamping mechanism 4 and the flip-plate detection mechanism 6 are opened, and the workpiece to be tested is placed on top of the support mechanism 2. It is supported and positioned by the contour block 203. After the workpiece is positioned, the clamping mechanism 4 is closed to clamp and fix it. When clamping and positioning the workpiece, it is placed on top of the support block 202, so that the inner wall reference surface of the workpiece is in contact with the positioning block 205 and the side wall of the contour block 203 on top of the support block 202. Then, the positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole 204 for initial positioning of the workpiece. Finally, the clamping mechanism 4 is closed, so that the clamping end of the clamping mechanism 4 at the corresponding position abuts against the positioning block 205 to fix the workpiece. Then, the flip-plate detection mechanism 6 is closed, which, when closed, moves towards the support mechanism 2. One side of the rotating plate 602 is rotated, causing the contour plate 603 at the other end of the rotating plate 602 to rotate towards the workpiece to be tested, so that the contour plate 603 corresponds to the contour of the workpiece to be tested and maintains a certain gap. At this time, the detection hole 8 on the side wall of the contour block 203 and the contour plate 603 corresponds to the position of the hole groove on the workpiece surface. The detection pin 7 is inserted into the inside of the detection hole 8. If the detection pin 7 can pass smoothly, the hole position of the product is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified, thus realizing efficient detection of the position of the hole groove on the workpiece surface. Then, the no-go gauge and the alignment gauge are inserted into the gap between the surface of the workpiece to be tested and the contour plate 603 to detect the shape contour of the workpiece to be tested. During the detection, if the go end of the no-go gauge passes and the stop end stops, the shape contour of the workpiece to be tested is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.

[0032] After inspecting the position and contour of the holes and grooves, the first inspection block 9, the third inspection block 11, and the fourth inspection block 12 are held and inserted into the corresponding holes and grooves on the inner wall of the workpiece under the corresponding reference. Then, the ends of the blocks are fixed to one side of the inner wall of the workpiece by locking pins, while the other end of the blocks maintains a certain gap with the inner wall of the workpiece. The check is performed by checking this gap. If the go end of the check gauge passes through and the stop end stops, the inner wall dimension of the workpiece is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified. After the inspection is completed, the second inspection block 10 is held and inserted into the corresponding hole on the inner side of the workpiece to inspect the depth of the groove inside the workpiece. Finally, the fifth inspection block 13 and the sixth inspection block 14 are inserted into the rib groove on the outer wall of the workpiece to inspect the contour of the outer wall rib groove of the workpiece, thus realizing the all-round contour inspection of the workpiece.

[0033] The above embodiments are used to further illustrate the present invention, but do not limit the present invention to these specific embodiments. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be understood as being within the protection scope of the present invention.
