Description

A fixture structure for reinforcing components of automotive reinforcing beams Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inspection fixture structure technology, specifically an inspection fixture structure for a reinforcing component of an automotive reinforcing beam. Background Technology

[0002] A gauge is a specialized inspection device used to measure and evaluate the size, shape, and positional characteristics of parts. Gauges enable online inspection of parts, allowing for visual inspection, or using measuring instruments or calipers to examine the surface and perimeter of parts. They also facilitate visual inspection of holes of different types and connections between parts using inspection pins or visual inspection. This ensures rapid assessment of part quality during trial production and initial production. In the processing of automotive B-pillar reinforcement plates, gauges are required for inspection.

[0003] The current invention, with publication number CN222670892U, describes a fixture structure for a B-pillar reinforcement plate in automobiles. It includes a base, a controller fixedly connected to the top of the base, a stabilizing plate fixedly connected to the top of the base, a connecting plate fixedly connected to the outer side of the stabilizing plate, a first electric telescopic rod fixedly connected to the top of the connecting plate, a push rod fixedly connected to the bottom of the first electric telescopic rod, a clamping frame fixedly connected to the bottom of the push rod, a threaded tube fixedly connected to the outer side of the clamping frame, a screw threadedly connected to the inside of the threaded tube, a rotating cover fixedly connected to the outer side of the screw, a positioning rod fixedly connected to the end of the screw away from the rotating cover, and a moving groove formed inside the connecting plate. The device has a simple structure and is easy to use. It can position and adjust the position of reinforcing plates of different specifications. However, in actual use, it was found that the position adjustment mechanism of the clamp during the clamping of the reinforcing plate under the B-pillar of a car is adjusted by the controller, while the clamp itself requires the operator to manually rotate the rotating cover to drive the screw to push the positioning rod for clamping. Moreover, each clamping requires the operator to operate the rotating cover four times, which is not convenient for quickly clamping the reinforcing plate, increases the labor intensity of the operator, and is inconvenient to use. At the same time, the clamping parts of this device lack a buffer mechanism, which makes the contact surface of the reinforcing plate clamping easily damaged, reducing the efficiency of the inspection tool. Therefore, we propose an inspection tool structure for reinforcing beams of automobiles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a fixture structure for reinforcing components of automotive reinforcing beams, in order to solve the problems mentioned in the background art. In actual use, it was found that the position adjustment mechanism of the fixture during the clamping of the B-pillar reinforcing plate is controlled by a controller, while the fixture itself requires manual rotation of the rotating cover to drive the screw and position rod for clamping. Each clamping operation requires four rotations of the rotating cover, which is inconvenient for quickly clamping the reinforcing plate, increases the labor intensity of the workers, and is inconvenient to use. Furthermore, the lack of a buffer mechanism in the clamping components makes the contact surface of the reinforcing plate easily damaged, reducing the efficiency of the fixture.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a fixture structure for reinforcing components of an automotive reinforcing beam, comprising a top cover, a fixing plate, and a first housing.

A motor is fixedly connected to the middle of the right sidewall of the inner cavity of the top cover. A lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor, and the lead screw passes through the middle of the right sidewall of the horizontal plate and is rotatably connected to the middle of the left sidewall of the inner cavity of the top cover. A limit hole is opened in the middle of the top left side of the fixing plate. A second support plate is fixedly connected to the bottom right side of the fixing plate, and the second support plate is fixedly connected to the right sidewall of the right first housing. A second housing is slidably connected to the outer sidewall of the first housing. A buffer pad is fixedly connected to the right sidewall of the left second housing and the left sidewall of the right second housing. A buffer device is fixedly connected between the left sidewall of the inner cavity of the left first housing and the right sidewall of the inner cavity of the left second housing, and between the right sidewall of the inner cavity of the right first housing and the left sidewall of the inner cavity of the right second housing.

[0008] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0009] The bottom of the slider is fixedly connected to a mounting plate, and the bottom middle of the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a first support plate, which is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the first housing on the left side.

[0010] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0011] A fixing rod is fixedly connected to the middle of the right side wall of the inner cavity of the limiting hole, and the fixing rod passes through the middle of the lower side of the right side wall of the slider and is fixedly connected to the middle of the left side wall of the inner cavity of the limiting hole.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0013] A convenient switch is fixedly connected to the top left front side of the top cover, and the convenient switch is electrically connected to the motor.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution:

[0015] The buffer device includes a sleeve, an elastic element, a damping block, and a support rod. The sleeve is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the inner cavity of the left first housing and the right side wall of the inner cavity of the right first housing.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] 1. The inspection fixture structure of the automotive reinforcing beam reinforcement component uses a slider to support the left first housing through a mounting plate and a first support plate. A motor drives a lead screw to rotate, causing the slider to move the first support plate and the left first housing to the right. The left second housing and the right second housing then clamp the reinforcing plate, making it easy for the inspection fixture to quickly clamp the reinforcing plate, reducing the labor intensity of the workers and making it easy to use.

[0018] 2. The inspection fixture structure of the automotive reinforcing beam reinforcement component uses a second housing to clamp the reinforcing plate in conjunction with the right-side second housing. A buffer device between the first and second housings buffers the force applied to the second housing. The pressure on the second housing is transmitted through a support rod and a damping block, which in turn drives the elastic element to compress and buffer the applied force. This reduces the impact force on the reinforcing plate caused by the movement of the left-side second housing during contact, thus providing a buffer mechanism for the fixture clamping component. This makes the contact surface of the reinforcing plate less susceptible to damage and improves the efficiency of the fixture. Attached Figure Description

The first housing 300 is located below the bottom of the fixing plate 200 and is used to support the second housing 310.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1-4 again. The outer wall of the lead screw 130 is threaded with a slider 140, which passes through the inner cavity of the limiting hole 210 and extends to the lower side of the fixing plate 200.

[0035] Please refer again to Figures 1-4. The buffer device 330 includes a sleeve 331, an elastic element 332, a damping block 333, and a support rod 334. The sleeve 331 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the inner cavity of the left first housing 300 and the right side wall of the inner cavity of the right first housing 300. The elastic element 332 is fixedly connected to the left side wall of the inner cavity of the left sleeve 331 and the right side wall of the inner cavity of the right sleeve 331. The damping block 333 is fixedly connected to the end of the elastic element 332 and is slidably connected to the inner cavity of the sleeve 331. The support rod 334 is fixedly connected to the middle of the left side wall of the left damping block 333 and the right side wall of the right damping block 333. The support rod 334 passes through the right side wall of the left sleeve 331 and the left side wall of the right sleeve 331, and is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the left second housing 310 and the left side wall of the right second housing 310. The support rod 334, in conjunction with the damping block 333, transmits the pressure on the second housing 310 and drives the elastic element 332 to compress and buffer the force. This also enables the reinforcing plate sandwiched between the two second housings 310 to reduce the impact force generated by the movement of the second housing 310 during the contact process.

[0036] In summary, the slider 140, in conjunction with the mounting plate 150 and the first support plate 160, provides support for the left first housing 300. The motor 120 drives the lead screw 130 to rotate, causing the slider 140 to move the first support plate 160 and the left first housing 300 to the right. The left second housing 310, in conjunction with the right second housing 310, clamps the reinforcing plate. This allows the fixture to quickly and easily clamp the reinforcing plate, reducing the labor intensity of the workers and making it easy to use.

[0037] In summary, the left second housing 310 and the right second housing 310 clamp the reinforcing plate, and the buffer device 330 between the first housing 300 and the second housing 310 buffers the force on the second housing 310. The pressure on the second housing 310 is transmitted through the support rod 334 and the damping block 333, and the elastic element 332 is compressed to buffer the force. This reduces the impact force on the reinforcing plate clamped between the two second housings 310 during the contact process caused by the movement of the left second housing 310. This gives the fixture a buffer mechanism, making the contact surface of the reinforcing plate less susceptible to damage and improving the efficiency of the fixture.

[0038] In practical use, those skilled in the art first place the reinforcing plate between the left second housing 310 and the right second housing 310. Then, they operate the convenient switch 170 to start the motor 120. The motor 120 then drives the lead screw 130 to rotate, causing the slider 140 to move the first support plate 160 to the right in conjunction with the mounting plate 150. At the same time, the first support plate 160 moves the left first housing 300 to the right. The right second housing 310, under force, pushes the reinforcing plate to the right in conjunction with the buffer pad 320 until the reinforcing plate contacts the right buffer pad 320. Simultaneously, the second housing 310 transmits the reaction force of clamping the reinforcing plate, and through the support rod 334 and the damping block 333, transmits the force received by the second housing 310 to the elastic element 332, causing the elastic element 332 to compress and buffer the force received. Finally, the elastic force generated by the compression of the elastic element 332, in conjunction with the support rod 334 and the damping block 333, drives the second housing 310 to clamp the reinforcing plate.
