Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tooling technology for fairings, and in particular to a device for testing and calibrating fairings. Background Technology
[0002] A fairing is an air deflector installed on the top of the cab of a truck or tractor-trailer. It can improve airflow at the front of the vehicle, optimize high-speed stability, and effectively reduce air resistance and fuel consumption when the truck is traveling at high speed. There are two main types: fixed and adjustable.
[0003] After the air deflector is demolded, it needs to undergo surface dent detection and correction to ensure good airflow and reduce resistance. However, the current detection and correction devices are separate and work independently. The detection device first checks for dents step by step, and then the defective air deflector is transported to the correction area for correction. The process is cumbersome and complicated. Moreover, the location of defects is often lost during correction, which further increases the workload and intensity of the staff, resulting in low work efficiency and delays in production.
[0004] Therefore, the existing method of separating the inspection and calibration of the fairing results in a cumbersome process, complex operation, and frequent loss of defect location during calibration, further increasing the workload and intensity of workers, leading to low work efficiency and delays in production. A new inspection and calibration device for fairings can be designed. This device integrates a detection camera for detecting surface dents on the fairing workpiece and a vacuum suction cup for calibration, all mounted on a mounting plate. Through the cooperation of these components, if a defect is found during inspection, the vacuum suction cup can use air pressure to pull out the dent on the workpiece for correction and repair. This allows for simultaneous inspection and calibration, simplifying the post-inspection calibration process, making operation simple, reducing the risk of losing defect location, enabling timely detection and immediate repair of defects, reducing workload and intensity, and improving work efficiency and productivity. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: a detection and calibration device for a fairing, including a placement platform; it also includes a cylinder, a mounting plate, a detection camera, a vacuum suction cup, and a vacuum generator. Support plates are connected to the left and right ends of the placement platform via rotating shafts. A rectangular frame is fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two support plates. Movable seats are slidably arranged on the left and right ends of the inner side of the rectangular frame. A connecting plate is fixedly connected between the upper ends of the two movable seats. A translation plate is slidably connected to the bottom of the connecting plate. A cylinder is fixedly installed on the bottom rear side of the translation plate. A mounting plate is fixedly connected to the movable end of the cylinder.

[0007] Preferably, the detection camera used to detect surface dents of the guide shield workpiece and the vacuum suction cup for calibration are mounted together on the mounting plate.

Thus, if a defect is found in the workpiece during inspection, the vacuum suction cup can be immediately moved to the defect location by starting the cylinder, and the dent on the workpiece can be pulled out by air pressure for correction and repair. This simplifies the post-inspection correction process, is easy to operate, and is less likely to lose the defect location. It enables timely detection and immediate repair of defects, reduces the workload and intensity of processing, and improves work efficiency and productivity.
[0008] Preferably, a motor is fixedly installed on the left end of the right movable seat, and a threaded rod is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the motor.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] Please see Figures 1-4This utility model provides an embodiment: a detection and calibration device for a fairing, including a placement platform 1; it also includes a cylinder 7, a mounting plate 8, a detection camera 9, a vacuum suction cup 11, and a vacuum generator 12. Support plates 2 are connected to the left and right ends of the placement platform 1 via rotating shafts. A rectangular frame 3 is fixedly connected to the upper ends of the two support plates 2.

A fixing rod 10 is fixedly connected to the bottom front side of the mounting plate 8. A vacuum generator 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing rod 10. A vacuum generator 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom front side of the suction cup 11 and the translation plate 6.

The vacuum environment of the vacuum suction cup 11 is provided by the vacuum generator 12 through the connecting pipe 13. Thus, if a defect is found in the workpiece during inspection, the vacuum suction cup 11 can be moved to the defect location immediately by starting the cylinder 7. The air pressure is used to pull out the depression on the workpiece for calibration and repair. This simplifies the calibration process after inspection, makes the operation simple, and makes it less likely to lose the defect location.

[0025] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, a motor 14 is fixedly installed on the left end of the right movable seat 4. The output shaft of the motor 14 is fixedly connected to a threaded rod 15. The left end of the threaded rod 15 is rotatably connected to the right end of the left movable seat 4, and the threaded rod 15 is threaded through and connected to the translation plate 6. When the motor 14 is started, the threaded rod 15 rotates, and the threaded rod 15 moves the translation plate 6 in the left and right directions, thereby adjusting the working position.

The guide rod 18 is fixedly connected to the left side inside the rectangular frame 3, and the threaded rod 2 17 is rotatably connected to the right side inside the rectangular frame 3. A motor 2 16 is fixedly installed on the right front end of the rectangular frame 3. The output shaft of the motor 2 16 is fixedly connected to the threaded rod 2 17. When the motor 2 16 is started, the threaded rod 2 17 rotates, which, together with the guide rod 18, moves the two movable seats 4 in the front and back directions, thereby further moving the translation plate 6 in the front and back directions to adjust the working position.
[0026] Please see Figure 4In this embodiment, a groove 19 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the placement platform 1. Two clamping plates 23 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the upper end of the placement platform 1. Movable plates 22 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the two clamping plates 23. The two movable plates 22 are slidably disposed in the groove 19. The two movable plates 22 slide relatively close to each other in the groove 19, thereby driving the two clamping plates 23 to move relative to each other, clamping and fixing the two ends of the guide shroud, which facilitates the work of detection and calibration. A motor 20 is fixedly installed on the right end of the groove 19. The output shaft of the motor 20 is fixedly connected to a bidirectional screw 21. The left end of the bidirectional screw 21 is rotatably connected to the left side of the groove 19, and the two movable plates 22 are symmetrically threaded onto the outer sides of the two ends of the bidirectional screw 21. When the motor 20 is started, it drives the bidirectional screw 21 to rotate, and the bidirectional screw 21 drives the two clamping plates 23 to move relative to each other. The movable plates 22 move relative to each other, thereby causing the two movable plates 22 to slide relative to each other. A motor 4 24 is fixedly installed on the right end of the right support plate 2. The output shaft of the motor 4 24 passes through the right support plate 2 and is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft on the right side of the placement platform 1. The motor 4 24 is started to drive the placement platform 1 to rotate and move by an angle, so as to turn the tilted side of the guide shroud fixed on the placement platform 1 to the horizontal, which is convenient for testing and calibration. The four corners of the bottom of the rectangular frame 3 are fixedly connected to the support legs 25. The bottom of the two support plates 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the base plate 26. Five fixed plates 27 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the front and rear sides of the base plate 26. The support legs 25 support and fix the rectangular frame 3. The base plate 26 and the fixed plates 27 further expand the support area of the ground on the whole device, thereby improving the overall stability of the device.
[0027] During operation, the workpiece is first placed on the placement platform 1. The start motor 3 20 drives the two moving plates 22 to move closer to each other via the bidirectional screw 21, controlling the two clamping plates 23 to clamp and fix the two ends of the guide shroud. The start motor 4 24 drives the placement platform 1 to rotate a certain angle, adjusting the inclined arc surface of the guide shroud to be horizontal. The start motor 1 14 drives the translation plate 6 to move left and right via the threaded rod 15. The start motor 2 16 drives the two moving seats 4 to move back and forth via the threaded rod 2 17 and the guide rod 18, thereby controlling the detection camera 9 to scan and detect the horizontal surface of the guide shroud. The dent is displayed on the external display, and the detection is completed. When a defect is found, the above adjustment mechanism is used in conjunction with the start cylinder 7 to push the vacuum suction cup 11 to the defect location. The vacuum generator 12 creates a vacuum negative pressure environment for the vacuum suction cup 11 through the connecting pipe 13, using air pressure to pull out the dent on the workpiece for correction and repair.
[0028] Through the above steps, the detection camera 9, used to detect surface dents of the guide shield workpiece, and the vacuum suction cup 11 for calibration are jointly installed on the mounting plate 8. The vacuum suction cup 11 is provided with a vacuum environment by the vacuum generator 12 through the connecting pipe 13, and works in cooperation with the various components. At the same time, if a defect is found in the workpiece during inspection, the vacuum suction cup 11 is immediately moved to the defect location by the start cylinder 7, and the dent on the workpiece is pulled out by air pressure for correction and repair. This realizes that inspection and correction are carried out simultaneously, which simplifies the correction process after inspection. The operation is simple and it is not easy to lose the defect location. It enables timely detection and immediate repair of defects, reduces the workload and intensity of processing, improves work efficiency, and increases productivity. This solves the problem of the existing method of separating the inspection and correction of the guide shield, which leads to a more cumbersome process, complicated operation, and easy loss of defect location during correction, further increasing the workload and intensity of the staff, resulting in low work efficiency and delays in production progress.
