[0002] In the automotive manufacturing and inspection process, automotive fixtures are indispensable tools used to inspect the dimensions, shape, and assembly accuracy of automotive parts. A folding base is a structure used to support and stabilize automotive fixtures. Its foldable design saves space and facilitates storage when the fixture is not in use. The folding base consists of a support structure and a base frame, typically made of robust materials such as steel or aluminum alloy. The design of the base frame determines the stability and load-bearing capacity of the base.

[0003] In existing technology patent CN214238145U, a tool storage device for automobile repair is disclosed, including a pressure-bearing base. A tool storage box is fixedly installed on the top surface of the pressure-bearing base by screws. A connecting bracket is welded to the right end of the pressure-bearing base. The pressure-bearing base is movably connected to a telescopic pull rod that is movably connected to the right side of the tool storage box through the connecting bracket. In the above scheme, the connecting bracket and the connecting shaft movably connect the telescopic pull rod to the pressure-bearing base. With the help of the universal pulley set at the bottom of the pressure-bearing base, a folding and mobile tool storage box is formed, which facilitates the dragging and use of the tool box and improves the ease of use of the device. At the same time, after the tool box is used, the telescopic rod is retracted into the sleeve rod. Then, the built-in permanent magnet is used to attach the retracted pull rod to the right side of the tool storage box, reducing its space occupation and facilitating its storage.

[0004] However, in the existing methods mentioned above, the base is a fixed structure, which is large in size, occupies a lot of space, and is inconvenient to store and transport, making it difficult to use. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a folding base for automotive inspection tools, which solves the problems of existing bases being fixed structures, having a large volume, occupying a lot of space, being inconvenient to store and transport, and being inconvenient to use.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model adopts a folding base for automotive inspection tools, comprising two bases, two force-applying rods, multiple anti-slip seats, and a locking assembly. Each force-applying rod is fixedly connected to the corresponding base and is located on the outer side wall of the base. Multiple anti-slip seats are fixedly provided on the bottom wall of each base. The locking assembly is connected to two bases respectively.

[0007] The locking assembly includes two magnetic blocks, two plug rods, two guide arc blocks, and two sets of connecting units. Each base has a mounting slot and a plug slot.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below. Examples of these embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain this utility model, and should not be construed as limiting this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a folding base 101 for automotive inspection tools: including two bases 101, two force-applying rods 114, multiple anti-slip seats 110 and a locking assembly. Each force-applying rod 114 is fixedly connected to the corresponding base 101 and is located on the outer side wall of the base 101. Multiple anti-slip seats 110 are fixedly provided on the bottom wall of each base 101. The locking assembly is connected to two bases 101 respectively.

[0022] The locking assembly includes two magnetic blocks 102, two plug-in rods 103, two guide arc blocks 109, and two sets of connecting units. Each base 101 has a mounting groove 107 and a plug-in groove 108. Each magnetic block 102 is fixedly connected to the corresponding base 101 and is located in the corresponding mounting groove 107. Each plug-in rod 103 is fixedly connected to the corresponding base 101 and is located on the outer side wall of the corresponding base 101. Each plug-in rod 103 is adapted to the corresponding plug-in groove 108. Each guide arc block 109 is fixedly connected to the corresponding plug-in rod 103 and is located at the end of the plug-in rod 103 away from the base 101. Each set of connecting units is movably connected to two bases 101.

[0023] In this embodiment, when folding the base 101, a person applies force to pull one of the bases 101, causing the two magnetic blocks 102 to separate. The two bases 101 move away from each other, and the plug-in rods 103 disengage from the plug-in slots 108 of the bases 101. At the same time, the connecting unit pulls the base 101, limiting the movement trajectory of the base 101. After the two bases 101 separate, one of the bases 101 is moved downwards and then moved downwards towards the other base 101 until the two bases 101 overlap, thereby achieving the folding of the base 101. The operation is very convenient and quick. By adopting the above method, the base 101 can be folded, reducing its volume, saving space, facilitating storage and transportation, and making it convenient to use.

[0024] Furthermore, the connecting unit includes two sliders 112 and a movable rod 113. Both bases 101 have sliding grooves 115. The two sliders 112 are slidably connected to the corresponding bases 101 and are respectively located in the corresponding sliding grooves 115. The two ends of the movable rod 113 are rotatably connected to the two sliders 112 respectively.

[0025] In this embodiment, when folding the base 101, a person applies force to pull one of the bases 101, causing the two magnets 102 to separate. The insertion rods 103 disengage from the insertion slots 108 of the base 101, and simultaneously, the two sliders 112 slide within the sliding grooves 115 of the base 101. After the two bases 101 separate, one of the bases 101 is moved downwards, and the movable rod 113 rotates as the base 101 moves until this base 101 is positioned below the other base 101. The two bases 101 overlap, thereby achieving the folding of the base 101. In the above method, folding is convenient and quick.

[0026] Furthermore, the connecting unit also includes a plurality of guide bars 111, each of which is fixedly connected to the corresponding slider 112 and is located on the outer side wall of the slider 112, and is movably disposed within the sliding groove 115.

[0027] In this embodiment, by providing the guide bar 111 on the slider 112, the guide bar 111 can limit the slider 112 within the sliding groove 115, thereby preventing the slider 112 from disengaging from the sliding groove 115.

[0028] Furthermore, the folding base 101 for automotive inspection tools also includes two limiting plates 104 and multiple limiting springs 105. The two limiting plates 104 are slidably connected to the corresponding bases 101 and are located inside the bases 101 respectively. The two ends of each limiting spring 105 are fixedly connected to the corresponding base 101 and the limiting plate 104 respectively.

[0029] In this embodiment, after the two bases 101 are spliced ​​together, the vehicle inspection tool is placed inside the two bases 101 and positioned between the two limiting plates 104. Each limiting plate 104 will compress the limiting spring 105 when pressed. The elastic force of the multiple limiting springs 105 fixes the vehicle inspection tool between the two limiting plates 104, improving the stability of the vehicle inspection tool and preventing it from moving.

[0030] Furthermore, the folding base 101 for the automotive inspection tool also includes two rubber pads 106, each of which is fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting plate 104 and is located on the outer side wall of the limiting plate 104.

[0031] In this embodiment, by providing the rubber pad 106 on each of the limiting plates 104, the rubber pad 106 can increase the friction between the limiting plate 104 and the vehicle inspection tool, thereby fixing the vehicle inspection tool securely within the two bases 101.

[0032] The above-disclosed embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present utility model and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present utility model. Those skilled in the art can understand that implementing all or part of the above-described embodiments and making equivalent changes in accordance with the claims of the present utility model are still within the scope of the utility model.
