[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of tensile testing devices, and in particular to a balance bar tensile testing device. Background Technology
[0002] A stabilizer bar, also known as an anti-roll bar or balance bar, is an auxiliary elastic element in a car's suspension. Its function is to prevent excessive lateral roll of the vehicle body when cornering, and to keep the vehicle body as balanced as possible. During the production process, the stabilizer bar needs to be inspected for quality to ensure the stability of the car when turning.
[0003] While existing testing devices can test the strength of balance bars, they lack an automatic sorting mechanism. Therefore, users must frequently manually move and sort unqualified balance bars, increasing their workload. Furthermore, existing devices lack a mechanism for reinforcing manually spot-welded balance bars, reducing the quality control of balance bar production. Therefore, we propose a balance bar tensile testing device. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This utility model addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a balance bar tension testing device. It solves the problem that existing devices cannot automatically classify balance bars, requiring operators to manually classify and store the products, which reduces the efficiency of operators. It also allows for the cooling of the reinforced and welded balance bars.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0006] A balance bar tension testing device includes a housing. A feeding line is placed on the left side of the housing, and a cooling fan is installed at the top of the feeding line. A feeding speed-multiplying chain is installed on the right side of the housing. A recycling box is located between the housing and the feeding speed-multiplying chain.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1-6. A balance bar tension testing device includes a housing 1. A feeding line 2 is placed on the left side of the housing 1. A cooling fan 3 is provided on the top of the feeding line 2. A feeding speed-multiplying chain 4 is provided on the right side of the housing 1. A recycling box 11 is provided between the housing 1 and the feeding speed-multiplying chain 4. A fixed seat 5 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1. A feeding gantry robot 1 7 and a feeding gantry robot 2 10 are respectively provided on the outer wall of the fixed seat 5. A movable seat 17 is provided on the outer wall of the feeding gantry robot 2 10. A guide rail 6 is fixedly installed on the top of the housing 1. A testing machine 15 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the guide rail 6. A placement rod 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the testing machine 15. A positioning rod 14 is provided on the top of the feeding speed-multiplying chain 4. A welding robot 8 and a feeding robot 9 are respectively provided on the top of the housing 1. A welding indexing plate 12 is provided below the welding robot 8. A body 13 is placed on the outer wall of the welding indexing plate 12, the positioning rod 14, and the placement rod 16. An operation box 18 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the housing 1.
[0029] In the above structure, through the arrangement of the housing 1, fixed base 5, guide rail 6, loading gantry robot 1 7, welding robot 8, unloading robot 9, and loading gantry robot 2 10, the user can place the manually spot-welded body 13 on the loading double-speed chain 4 during use. The loading double-speed chain 4 transports the body 13 to the housing 1. Then, the loading gantry robot 1 7 and the loading gantry robot 2 10 are used to grasp the body 13 being transported to the housing 1, thereby achieving automatic feeding. Then, the body 13 is placed... On the welding indexing plate 12, the tensile test of the body 13 is completed by the movement of the testing machine 15. When the test is completed, the unqualified body 13 will be placed in the recycling bin 11 by the loading gantry robot 1 7 and the loading gantry robot 2 10. If the position is offset and the automatic unloading is not possible, the controller will control the warning light to light up to achieve the effect of automatic alarm, so that the user can know the situation in time and complete the manual unloading operation. This improves the intelligence of the device. The automatic loading and unloading operation mode improves the user's inspection efficiency of the body 13.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1-2: Motor 1 is fixedly mounted on the outer wall of the loading gantry robot 2 10. A lead screw is fixedly mounted on the output shaft of Motor 1. The outer wall of the lead screw is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the moving seat 17. An electric gripper is provided on the outer wall of the moving seat 17, and the outer wall of the moving seat 17 is slidably connected to the outer wall of the loading gantry robot 2 10. Warning lights and controllers are respectively provided on the outer wall of the housing 1.
[0031] In the above structure, the loading gantry robot 10 and the movable seat 17 are used to ensure that the gripper can grab the body 13 that has not been pulled apart or has been misaligned during operation. This achieves the effect of automatically unloading the unqualified body 13, reducing the user's workload and further improving the user's work efficiency.
[0032] Please refer to Figure 2-3: The main body 13 placed on the feeding speed chain 4 is in several groups, and the number of main bodies 13 in each group is four.
[0033] In the above structure, the feeding double-speed chain 4 allows the user to directly transport the manually spot-welded body 13 through the operation of the feeding double-speed chain 4 during the operation of the device, so that the user does not need to manually move the body 13 for inspection, thereby improving the automation of the device.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 5: There are two test machines 15, and both test machines 15 are symmetrically distributed along the outer wall of the guide rail 6.
[0035] In the above structure, the guide rail 6 and the testing machine 15 structure allow the user to adjust the distance between the two testing machines 15 by moving the testing machine 15 during operation, thereby achieving the effect of tensile testing on the body 13 of different sizes and lengths, thus improving the application range of the device.
[0036] Please refer to Figures 1 and 6: The main body 13 is placed inside the recycling bin 11, and the recycling bin 11 is located between the feeding double-speed chain 4 and the feeding gantry robot 2 10.
[0037] In the above structure, through the set recycling bin 11 structure, after the main body 13 is inspected, if the inspected main body 13 is unqualified, the device can use the grippers on the loading gantry robot 17 and the loading gantry robot 210 to grab the unqualified main body 13 and place the main body 13 in the recycling bin 11, thereby ensuring that the device can automatically transfer the unqualified main body 13, thereby ensuring the production quality of the main body 13 for the user and reducing the coverage rate of defective products.
[0038] Please refer to Figure 4: The bottom of the welding indexing plate 12 is rotatably connected to the top of the housing 1. The bottom of the housing 1 is fixedly equipped with motor 2, and the output shaft of motor 2 is fixedly equipped with the bottom of the welding indexing plate 12.
[0039] In the above structure, through the setting of motor 2 and welding indexing plate 12, if the inspection of the body 13 is qualified during the operation, the device can adjust the position of each body 13 by rotating the welding indexing plate 12, thereby ensuring that the welding robot 8 can automatically perform welding processing on the four bodies 13 on the welding indexing plate 12, further improving the production quality of the body 13 of the device.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 1-2: The unloading robot 9 is located between the unloading line 2 and the welding indexing plate 12, and the operation box 18 is electrically connected to the unloading robot 9, the loading gantry robot 10, the warning light, the controller and the cooling fan 3 respectively.
[0041] In the above structure, the unloading robot 9 automatically picks up the qualified body 13 and transfers it to the unloading line 2 when the body 13 is inspected and the inspection result is qualified. This allows the unloading line 2 to transport the qualified body 13, making it convenient for users to collect and package the qualified body 13. In addition, the cooling fan 3 is used to cool the body 13, eliminating the need for users to wait for the body 13 to cool down before transferring and packaging it, thus improving the practicality of the device.
[0042] Working Principle: After the user assembles the device, the user can use the feeding double-speed chain 4 to transport the manually spot-welded body 13. When the conveyor belt on the feeding double-speed chain 4 moves forward one step, the electric grippers on the feeding gantry robot 1 7 and the feeding gantry robot 2 10 will grab the body 13 on the feeding double-speed chain 4, thereby achieving automatic feeding. Then, the electric grippers will place the body 13 on the testing machine 15, so that the placement rod 16 is sleeved on the inner walls at both ends of the body 13, thereby achieving automatic testing of the body 13. The movement of the testing machine 15 is used to complete the tensile testing of the body 13. If the test result of the body 13 is unqualified, the electric grippers will grab the body 13 again and transfer it to the recycling bin 11. If the body 13 breaks or even shifts in position, an alarm will be triggered. The indicator light will illuminate and the equipment will stop operating. At this time, the user can manually move the main body 13 on the device, ensuring that the user can know the operating status of the equipment in a timely manner, thereby improving the intelligence of the device. If the main body 13 passes the inspection, the unloading robot 9 will transfer the qualified main body 13 to the welding indexing plate 12. Then, the welding robot 8 will perform welding operations on the four main bodies 13 by rotating the welding indexing plate 12, thereby ensuring the welding strength of each main body 13 and improving the production quality of the main body 13 for the user. Finally, the unloading robot 9 will transfer the main body 13 to the cooling fan 3 for cooling and transport it through the unloading line 2, which will facilitate the user to recycle and package the cooled main body 13, thereby improving the practicality of the device and the user's work efficiency.
[0043] Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments of the present invention described above and shown in the accompanying drawings are merely examples and do not limit the present invention. The purpose of the present invention has been fully and effectively achieved. The functions and structural principles of the present invention have been shown and explained in the embodiments. Without departing from the stated principles, the implementation of the present invention may have any variations or modifications.
