[0020] This utility model provides an automotive front grille inspection fixture, including a workbench 101, a sliding mechanism, an impact detection mechanism, an installation detection mechanism, and multiple support legs 102. The impact detection mechanism includes a U-shaped support frame 103, two first sliding rods 104, two first slip rings 105, and an impact block 106. The installation detection mechanism includes two second sliding rods 107, two second slip rings 108, and an installation mold 109. The sliding mechanism includes two placement units and a connecting rod 110. Each placement unit includes two pulleys 111, a fixing block 112, a limiting rod 113, a clamp 114, and a ring 115. The workbench 101 has two sliding grooves 116.

[0021] In this specific embodiment, the first cylinder 117 drives the impact block 106 to move downwards, and the two first slide rods 104 and the two first slip rings 105 work together to make the impact block 106 move stably. The impact block 106 impacts the front grille to test its impact resistance strength. In addition, the installation and testing mechanism installed below can also test whether the size of the front grille is qualified and whether it can be completely installed on the car. Thus, the device can perform strength testing and size testing at the same time without moving the product, which has high testing efficiency and small equipment footprint.

[0022] The workbench 101 has two sliding grooves 116, the U-shaped support frame 103 is disposed at the upper end of the workbench 101, one end of each of the two first sliding rods 104 is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the U-shaped support frame 103, the two first sliding rings 105 are respectively slidably adapted to the corresponding first sliding rods 104, the impact block 106 is fixedly connected to the two first sliding rings 105, and the sliding mechanism is disposed on the workbench 101 and located below the impact block 106. The impact testing mechanism also includes a first cylinder 117, which is fixedly connected to the inner top wall of the U-shaped support frame 103. The output end of the first cylinder 117 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the impact block 106. The front grille is placed on the sliding mechanism, and then the impact block 106 is driven to move downward by the first cylinder 117. Through the cooperation of the two first sliding rods 104 and the two first slip rings 105, the impact block 106 can move stably. The impact block 106 impacts the front grille to test its impact resistance strength. In addition, through the installation and detection mechanism installed below, the size of the front grille can also be tested to see if it is up to standard and whether it can be fully installed on the car. Thus, the device can perform strength testing and size testing at the same time without moving the product, which has high testing efficiency and small equipment footprint.

[0023] Secondly, the two second slide rods 107 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable 101, and the two second slip rings 108 are slidably adapted to the corresponding second slide rods 107. The mounting mold 109 is disposed on the two second slip rings 108 and is located below the sliding mechanism. The installation and testing mechanism also includes a second cylinder 118, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable 101. The output end of the second cylinder 118 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the mounting mold 109. After the impact test, the output end of the second cylinder 118 pushes the mounting mold 109 upward, and through the cooperation of each second slide rod 107 and the two second slip rings 108, the mounting mold 109 can move stably. By fitting the mounting mold 109 with the front grille, it is possible to test whether the front grille meets the installation dimensions and standards of the vehicle, and also to detect whether the front grille can be installed normally after the impact test.

[0024] Meanwhile, the connecting rod 110 is fixedly connected to the two placement units, which are symmetrically arranged on the workbench 101; the two pulleys 111 are rotatably connected to the lower end of the fixing block 112, and the two pulleys 111 are adapted to the corresponding sliding grooves 116; the connecting rod 110 is fixedly connected to the fixing block 112; the ring 115 is disposed on the fixing block 112; the limiting rod 113 is slidably adapted to the ring 115; and the clamp 114 is disposed on the limiting rod 113. The sliding mechanism also includes a third cylinder 119, which is mounted on the worktable 101. The output end of the third cylinder 119 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod 110. Each placement unit also includes a fourth cylinder 120, which is mounted on the mounting block. The output end of the fourth cylinder 120 is fixedly connected to one end of the limiting rod 113. The output end of the fourth cylinder 120 pushes the limiting rod 113 to slide on the ring 115, thereby causing the clamp 114 to clamp the outer edge of the front grille, thus limiting the front grille and facilitating impact testing and installation testing. After the test is completed, the output end of the third cylinder 119 pulls the connecting rod 110, and through the cooperation of the two pulleys 111 and the corresponding sliding grooves 116, the fixing block 112 is moved to the side of the impact detection mechanism and the installation detection mechanism to facilitate product removal.

[0025] Furthermore, multiple support legs 102 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the worktable 101 and are located around the bottom perimeter of the worktable 101. The multiple support legs 102 provide load-bearing support for the worktable 101.

[0026] When using this automotive front grille inspection fixture, the front grille is placed on the sliding mechanism. Then, the first cylinder 117 drives the impact block 106 downwards. Through the cooperation of the two first sliding rods 104 and the two first slip rings 105, the impact block 106 moves stably, impacting the front grille to test its impact resistance. Furthermore, the installation and inspection mechanism installed below can also test whether the front grille's size is up to standard and whether it can be fully installed on the vehicle. Therefore, this device can perform both strength and size tests simultaneously without moving the product, resulting in high testing efficiency and a small footprint. After the impact test, the output end of the second cylinder 118 pushes the installation mold 109 upwards. Through the cooperation of the second sliding rods 107 and the two second slip rings 108, the installation mold... The mounting mold 109 can move stably and is matched with the front grille through the mounting mold 109, so as to test whether the front grille meets the installation size and standard of the car, and can also detect whether the front grille can be installed normally after impact test; the output end of the fourth cylinder 120 pushes the limiting rod 113 to slide on the ring 115, so that the clamp 114 clamps the outer edge of the front grille, thereby limiting the front grille, which facilitates impact test and installation test. After the test is completed, the output end of the third cylinder 119 pulls the connecting rod 110, and then through the cooperation of the two pulleys 111 and the corresponding sliding grooves 116, the fixing block 112 is moved to the side of the impact detection mechanism and the installation detection mechanism, so as to remove the product; the worktable 101 is supported by multiple support legs 102.

[0027] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely one or more preferred embodiments of this application and should not be construed as limiting the scope of this application. Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
