Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of new energy vehicle testing technology, and in particular to a suspension height measuring tool. Background Technology
[0002] During maintenance, the height of the wheel arches above the tires of new energy vehicles needs to be measured to control the length of the suspension travel. Previously, simple tools were used for testing, but the accuracy was not ideal. Utility Model Content
[0003] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a suspension height measuring tool that is simple in structure, easy to operate, flexible in adjustment, widely applicable, and accurate in measurement.
[0004] This utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] A suspension height measuring tool includes a positioning plate, a fixing sleeve, a rotating sleeve, a rotating shaft, a scale, and a calibration rod. One end of the fixing sleeve is fixed to the positioning plate, and the other end of the fixing sleeve extends vertically to one side of the positioning plate and has an insertion hole. One end of the rotating sleeve is fixed to the positioning plate, and the other end of the rotating sleeve extends vertically to the other side of the positioning plate. One end of the scale is rotatably connected to the rotating sleeve via the rotating shaft, and the other end extends in a direction perpendicular to the rotating shaft and is provided with a scale. The calibration rod is slidably connected to the scale.
[0006] To facilitate the positioning of the measuring tool with the tire or wheel hub, multiple fixing sleeves are provided, evenly distributed along the outer circumference of the positioning plate.
[0007] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the fixing sleeve, one end of the fixing sleeve is fixed to the positioning plate by a nut.
[0008] To facilitate fixing the rotating shaft, the rotating sleeve is provided with a locking mechanism for locking the rotating shaft. The locking mechanism includes a locking clamp and a locking handle. One end of the locking clamp is fixed to the rotating sleeve by a screw, and the other end is an open structure with the locking handle. The locking clamp has a central hole that allows the rotating shaft to rotate. The locking handle is threaded to the opening of the locking clamp. Rotating the locking handle can close the opening and thus lock the rotating shaft.
[0009] To facilitate the assembly and disassembly of the scale, one end of the scale is fixed to the rotating shaft by a lock nut.
[0010] To facilitate adjustment of the position of the calibration rod, one end of the calibration rod slides along the scale via a sliding sleeve.
[0011] To facilitate locking the calibration rod, the sliding sleeve is equipped with a knob that can fix the sliding sleeve to the scale.
[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: the suspension height measuring tool, through the cooperation of positioning plate, fixing sleeve, scale and calibration rod, can be installed on the wheel hub of the tire. By sliding the position of the calibration rod, the suspension height of the car body can be measured. It is very convenient to use, has high measurement accuracy, can adapt to tires of different sizes, and has strong versatility. Attached Figure Description
[0013] Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of the suspension height measuring tool of this utility model;
[0014] Figure 2 This is an exploded view of the rotating shaft and rotating sleeve of this utility model. Detailed Implementation
[0015] The preferred embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of this utility model can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art, thereby providing a clearer and more definite definition of the scope of protection of this utility model. The directional terms mentioned in this utility model, such as "up," "down," "front," "back," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom," are only for reference to the accompanying drawings. Therefore, the directional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and not for limiting this utility model.
[0016] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 The suspension height measuring tool shown includes a positioning plate 1, a fixing sleeve 2, a rotating sleeve 3, a rotating shaft 4, a scale 5, and a calibration rod 6. There are three fixing sleeves 2, evenly distributed along the outer circumference of the positioning plate 1. One end (top) of the fixing sleeve 2 is fixed to the positioning plate 1 by a nut 7, and the other end (bottom) of the fixing sleeve 2 extends vertically to one side (below) of the positioning plate 1 and has an insertion hole. One end (bottom) of the rotating sleeve 3 is fixed to the upper surface of the positioning plate 1, and the other end (top) of the rotating sleeve 3 extends vertically upwards towards the positioning plate 1. The scale 5 is a strip-shaped structure; one end is rotatably connected to the top of the rotating sleeve 3 by the rotating shaft 4, and the other end extends perpendicular to the rotating shaft 4 and has graduations. The scale 5 is fixed to the rotating shaft 4 by a locking nut 8. One end (top) of the calibration rod 6 slides along the scale 5 via a sliding sleeve 9. The sliding sleeve 9 is provided with a knob 10 that can fix the sliding sleeve 9 to the scale 5.
[0017] In addition, the rotating sleeve 3 is also provided with a locking mechanism for locking the rotating shaft 4. The locking mechanism includes a locking clamp 11 and a locking handle 13. One end of the locking clamp 11 is fixed to the top of the rotating sleeve 3 by a screw 12, and the other end is an open structure with the locking handle 13. The locking clamp 11 has a central hole that allows the bottom end of the rotating shaft 4 to rotate. The locking handle 13 is threaded to the opening of the locking clamp 11. Rotating the locking handle 13 can close the opening and lock the rotating shaft 4.
[0018] In use, the three fixing sleeves 2 on the positioning plate 1 are put on the fixing bolts of the wheel hub and locked with the nut 7. Adjust the direction and position of the scale 5, lock the rotating shaft 4 with the locking handle 13 and the locking clamp 11, lock the scale 5 with the locking nut 8, slide the calibration rod 6 to the edge of the suspension of the car body, and lock the calibration rod 6 with the knob 10. The height of the suspension can then be measured by the scale.
[0019] It should be noted that the parts not covered by this utility model are the same as or can be implemented using existing technology.
[0020] The embodiments described above are merely examples of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
