[0002] The shock absorber short tube is a key component in the shock absorber assembly. It typically refers to a short tubular structure on the shock absorber used to connect, support, or adjust the hydraulic circuits, gas pressure, or mechanical structure of the shock absorber. Although small in size, the shock absorber short tube directly affects the performance, reliability, and safety of the shock absorber. Its length, bore diameter, material, and other parameters must be strictly tested to ensure its compatibility with the shock absorber assembly. If the short tube is too long or too short, the shock absorber will not compress / rebound properly, affecting comfort and handling. Therefore, a length measuring device is needed for dimensional inspection. However, most existing length measuring devices require workers to place the short tube between clamps, then use bolts to lock the clamps to position the short tube on the bracket. Workers then use calipers to measure the short tube. After measurement, each set of bolts is unscrewed one by one. The process of inspection and placement is time-consuming and labor-intensive, affecting the efficiency of the workers. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0020] Example: Please refer to Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution:
[0021] A device for detecting the length of a short tube in a shock absorber includes a base plate 1, a vertical plate 2 mounted on one side of the base plate 1, a measuring ruler 3 mounted on one side of the vertical plate 2, an indicator seat 4 slidably sleeved on the outer side of the measuring ruler 3, a baffle mounted on the other end of the measuring ruler 3 away from the vertical plate 2, an indicator plate 5 mounted on one side of the indicator seat 4, and a sticker 6 mounted on one side of the outer wall of the indicator seat 4. The tip of the indicator plate 5 and the side of the sticker 6 near the vertical plate 2 are on the same plane. A clamping mechanism is mounted on the other side of the outer wall of the vertical plate 2. The clamping mechanism includes a locking component and a pressing component. The locking component is used to lock the pressing component, and the pressing component is used to clamp and position the short tube. In use, the device can lock the pressing component through the locking component, and the pressing component clamps and positions the short tube. The structure is simple and easy to operate, making it convenient for workers to quickly pick up and put down short tubes for testing. It can also adapt to short tubes of different sizes for fixed testing, further improving testing efficiency and practicality.
[0022] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the pressing assembly includes a clamping frame 22 installed on one side of the outer wall of the upright plate 2. A sliding column 7 is installed on one end of the inner side of the clamping frame 22. Both ends of the outer side of the sliding column 7 are slidably connected to clamping plates 8. A V-shaped groove is opened at one end of the opposite face of the two sets of clamping plates 8. A sealing plate 21 is installed on one side of the clamping plate 8. First, the short tube is placed on the lower clamping plate 8 so that one end of the short tube abuts against one side of the sealing plate 21. The V-shaped groove on the clamping plate 8 can contact and position the arc surface of short tubes of different sizes. Then, the two sets of support plates 11 are held and the two sets of clamping plates 8 are moved in opposite directions so that the rubber pads 12 on the two sets of support plates 11 contact the surface of the fixing seat 13.
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the locking assembly includes a fixed seat 13 fixedly sleeved at the center of the outer wall of the sliding column 7. Extension grooves are provided on both sides of the outer wall of the fixed seat 13. An extension plate 14 is installed on the outer wall of the support plate 11 at the through hole. The extension plate 14 is slidably connected to the extension grooves. A pressing groove is installed inside the fixed seat 13 between the two sets of extension grooves. A lever plate 15 is slidably connected to one side of the inner wall of the pressing groove. Protrusions 16 are installed at both ends of the outer wall of the lever plate 15. Sloping surfaces are provided at the opposite ends of the extension plate 14 and the protrusions 16. Then, the extension plate 14 also extends into the inner side of the extension groove, and... As the rubber pad 12 is continuously compressed and retracted, the extension plate 14 can be inserted into the crimping groove, making the extension plate 14 and the convex plate 16 contact each other. The relative slopes contact each other, forcing the lever plate 15 to slide down and press the two sets of limiting plates 17 to slide inside the limiting groove, driving the two sets of second springs 18 to extend until the groove on the extension plate 14 is close to the convex plate 16. Then the convex plate 16 can slide into the inside of the groove along the edge of the groove. At this time, releasing the support plate 11 can make the rubber pad 12 rebound a certain distance, so that the convex plate 16 abuts against the inner wall of the groove to complete the fixation of the clamping plate 8.
[0024] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, multiple sets of first springs 10 are arranged and installed on one side of the outer wall of the clamping plate 8. A support plate 11 is installed on the other end of the first spring 10. A sliding plate 9 is installed on one side of the outer wall of the support plate 11. A sliding groove that is slidably connected to the sliding plate 9 is opened on one side of the inner wall of the clamping frame 22. A rubber pad 12 is embedded and installed on the other side of the outer wall of the support plate 11. A through hole is opened at one end of the rubber pad 12. Furthermore, the spacing between the clamping plates 8 can be adjusted according to the specific size of the short tube being clamped, causing the first springs 10 to extend or retract, so as to ensure that the clamping plates 8 always fit the surface of the short tube. After the short tube is positioned, the indicator seat 4 can be held and slid on the measuring ruler 3, so that the plate 6 fits the end face of the short tube, and the indicator plate 5 moves on the surface of the measuring ruler 3 to indicate. After the indicator plate 5 stops, the operator can observe the indicator plate 5 and the measuring ruler 3 to judge the test data.
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, two sets of limiting grooves are provided inside the fixed base 13 on the other side of the pressing groove. A limiting plate 17 is slidably connected to the inner side of the limiting groove. The limiting plate 17 has an L-shaped cross-section. The other end of the limiting plate 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the lever plate 15. A second spring 18 is installed between one side of the limiting plate 17 and the inner wall of the limiting groove. A groove that is slidably connected to the protruding plate 16 is provided at the center of the slope of the outer wall of the extension plate 14. An operating rod 19 is installed on one side of the limiting plate 17. Two sets of extensions to the pressing groove are arranged on one side of the outer wall of the fixed base 13. The movable groove inside the receiving groove is slidably connected to the operating rod 19. The two sets of operating rods 19 extend to one end of the fixed seat 13 and are fixedly fitted with an arc-shaped connecting plate 20. Furthermore, when it is necessary to remove the short tube, simply hold the arc-shaped connecting plate 20 and drive the two sets of operating rods 19 to slide inside the movable groove. This will drive the lever 15 to move together, allowing the convex plate 16 to move away from the inside of the groove. At this time, the rubber pad 12 will pop up the two sets of support plates 11, and the extension plate 14 will be carried away from the fixed seat 13. At this time, the clamping plate 8 can be separated and the short tube can be removed from it.
[0026] The implementation principle of the shock absorber short tube length detection device in this application embodiment is as follows: The short tube is placed on the lower clamping plate 8, with one end of the short tube abutting against one side of the sealing plate 21. The V-groove on the clamping plate 8 can contact and position the arc surface of short tubes of different sizes. Then, holding the two sets of support plates 11, the two sets of clamping plates 8 are moved in opposite directions, so that the rubber pads 12 on the two sets of support plates 11 contact the surface of the fixing seat 13. The extension plate 14 also extends into the extension groove. As the rubber pad 12 is continuously squeezed and retracted, the extension plate 14 can extend into the pressing groove, making the extension plate 14 and the convex plate 16 contact, with opposite slopes contacting each other. This forces the lever 15 to slide downwards, squeezing the two sets of limiting plates 17 to slide inside the limiting groove, driving the two sets of second springs 18 to extend until the groove on the extension plate 14 is close to the convex plate 16. The convex plate 16 can then slide into the groove along the edge of the groove. At this time, releasing the support plate 11 allows the rubber pads to extend into the groove. The pad 12 rebounds a certain distance, causing the convex plate 16 to abut against the inner wall of the groove to fix the clamping plate 8. The spacing between the clamping plates 8 can be adjusted according to the specific size of the short tube being clamped, causing the first spring 10 to extend or retract, so as to ensure that the clamping plate 8 always fits the surface of the short tube. After the short tube is positioned, the indicator seat 4 can be held and slid on the measuring ruler 3, so that the plate 6 fits against the end face of the short tube, and the indicator plate 5 moves on the surface of the measuring ruler 3 to indicate. After the indicator plate 5 stops, the staff can observe the indicator plate 5 and the measuring ruler 3 to judge the test data. When the short tube needs to be removed, simply hold the arc-shaped connecting plate 20 and drive the two sets of operating rods 19 to slide inside the movable groove, which will drive the lever 15 to move together, so that the convex plate 16 moves away from the inner side of the groove. At this time, the rubber pad 12 will bounce up the two sets of support plates 11, and the extension plate 14 will be carried away from the fixed seat 13. At this time, the clamping plate 8 can be separated and the short tube can be removed.
[0027] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
