[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] like Figures 1 to 9 As shown, this utility model is a pipeline inspection tool for cooling pipelines inside a power battery pack. This utility model mainly includes a base plate 1, a support, a reference block 2, a push-pull mechanism 3, a push rod 4, a limit pin 5, and a detection pin 6.
[0025] Its general structure is as follows:
[0026] A contour block 7 is provided at the center of the base plate 1, while handling handles 8 are installed on the edges of both sides of the base plate 1. Multiple supports are vertically arranged around the contour block 7, and each support is equipped with a push-pull mechanism 3 or a push rod 4. The contour block 7 has a positioning pin assembly hole, a vertical through groove 71, and an opposing clamping groove 72. Both ends of the opposing clamping groove 72 are equipped with a fixing block 73 with a push rod 4, and a positioning pin 70 higher than the horizontal plane of the positioning pin assembly hole is provided in the positioning pin assembly hole. The vertical through groove 71 is for the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected to be inserted. The support with the push-pull mechanism 3, the fixing block 73 with the push rod 4, and the contour block 7 with the positioning pin 70 can fix the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected on the contour block 7 in the X, Y, and Z axes. Each support with the push rod 4 has a reference block 2 with a different structure on the other side of the push rod 4 to perform standard inspection of the position, contour, and length of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected on the contour block 7.
[0027] To ensure that the required data for the position, profile, and length of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected are based on a stable state, and to enable quick assembly, quick testing, and quick disassembly, this utility model was designed.
[0028] It can be further explained that the push-pull mechanism 3 is a pressure handle structure, which allows the operator to pressurize and position the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected by swinging the handle slightly.
[0029] The push rod 4 has a limiting hole 40 and a corresponding limiting pin 5. The purpose is that when the push rod 4 moves forward to a certain position, the operator can insert the limiting pin 5 into the limiting hole 40 to position and limit the push rod 4 so that it is in the current position for subsequent inspection of the pipe fitting 9.
[0030] In order for the present utility model to achieve detection under a stable state, it is necessary to ensure that the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected after quick installation is locked in six directions: front and back, left and right, and up and down. For this purpose, the support with the push-pull mechanism 3 on the front and back sides of the profiling block 7 is the X-axis limiting support 10. When the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected is placed into the vertical through groove 71 of the profiling block 7, the operator can apply pressure and limit it by pulling the handle of the push-pull mechanism 3. At the same time, while the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected is being pressurized and limited, it is also subjected to position detection by the positioning pins 70 provided in the profiling block 7. If the hole positions at the bottom of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected are unqualified, one or more of the four positioning pins 70 cannot be accurately positioned and inserted, which is unqualified, and it is even more impossible to achieve limit positioning. Therefore, this is the first detection position and locking position of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected in the present utility model.
[0031] The second detection position and locking position is the Z-axis limiting support 11, which is located on the right side of the profiling block 7, and the reference block 2 on its push rod 4 is equipped with a detection pin 6.
[0032] The third detection position and locking position is the support with the push rod 4 located below the Z-axis limiting support 11, specifically the length detection support 13, and the top of the reference block 2 of it is provided with an auxiliary reference block 130 that cooperates with the auxiliary mounting positioning member 120 to perform positioning detection on the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected.
[0033] In the specific detection process, the judgment of qualified or unqualified is as follows:
[0034] 1. Position degree: Place the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected into the vertical through groove 71 of the profiling block 7. The operator can apply pressure and limit it by pulling the handle of the push-pull mechanism 3. At the same time, while the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected is being pressurized and limited, it is also subjected to position detection by the positioning pins 70 provided in the profiling block 7. Specifically, if the hole positions at the bottom of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected are unqualified, one or more of the four positioning pins 70 cannot be accurately positioned and inserted, which is unqualified, and it is even more impossible to achieve subsequent limit positioning. The push-pull mechanism 3 on the X-axis limiting support 10 presses down from top to bottom, so it can lock the pipe fitting 9 in the up and down two directions in the X-axis direction;
[0035] 2. Profile degree: After placing the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected into the profiling block 7, observe that the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected does not exceed the upper surface of the profiling block 7, and use a flatness gap gauge to detect its profile. If the gap gauge can pass through, it is qualified, otherwise it is unqualified. This step is assisted by the Z-axis limiting support 11. The detection pin 6 of the reference block 2 on the Z-axis limiting support 11 is inserted into the hole position of the upper interface of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected, which limits its height and also limits the front and back two directions of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected. Therefore, when using the gap gauge, it can provide the overall assembly detection data of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected based on this;
[0036] 3. Pipeline length: After the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected is placed into the contour block 7, push the push-pull mechanism 3 on the length detection support 13 into place, and observe the situation when the reference block 2 with a U-shaped design on the length detection support 13 fits the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected. If the length of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected is equal to or greater than the reference block 2 with a U-shaped design on the length detection support 13, it is qualified; otherwise, it is unqualified.
[0037] Thus, this utility model can not only fix the position step by step during the assembly of the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected, but also perform data detection at the same time.
[0038] It should be noted that the left and right Y-axis directions are both fixed by pressure when the pipe fitting 9 to be inspected is placed in the vertical through groove 71 of the contour block 7.
[0039] This invention can greatly improve testing efficiency, save a lot of manpower and the research and development costs of individual tooling, and is reliable, stable, efficient, simple in structure, flexible and lightweight, making it more suitable for the testing needs of actual pipelines.
