The limiting plate 72 is movably installed inside the limiting groove 71, and the top of the limiting plate 72 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the adjusting plate 6.

[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting component 7 set on the top of the detection table 1 causes the support rod 11 to move, which in turn drives the adjusting plate 6 to move. The movement of the adjusting plate 6 drives the limiting plate 72 to move, and the movement of the limiting plate 72 cooperates with the limiting groove 71 to limit the movement of the adjusting plate 6.

[0026] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The output end of the regulating motor 5 is connected to a bidirectional screw 8. The other end of the bidirectional screw 8 passes through the support plate 4 from front to back and is movably connected to the inner side of the support plate 4. An adjusting block 9 is threadedly connected to the surface of the bidirectional screw 8, and an adjusting rod 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the adjusting block 9.

[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a bidirectional screw 8 is set at the output end of the regulating motor 5. The bidirectional screw 8 is driven to rotate by the output end of the regulating motor 5. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 8 drives the adjusting block 9 to move. The movement of the adjusting block 9 drives the adjusting rod 10 to move. The movement of the adjusting rod 10 drives the detection clamp 19 to move and adjust.

[0028] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The top of the adjusting plate 6 is fixedly installed with a support rod 11 and two sets of it are provided. The other end of the support rod 11 is fixedly installed with a first linkage sleeve 12. The surface of the first linkage sleeve 12 is movably fitted with a connecting rod 13. The top of the adjusting rod 10 is fixedly installed with a second linkage sleeve 14. The surface of the second linkage sleeve 14 is movably fitted with the other end of the connecting rod 13.

[0029] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the first linkage sleeve 12 is installed through the support rod 11 set on the top of the adjustment plate 6, and the connecting rod 13 is movably installed through the first linkage sleeve 12. The second linkage sleeve 14 is installed through the adjustment rod 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 13 is movably installed through the second linkage sleeve 14. The movement of the adjustment rod 10 drives the second linkage sleeve 14 and one end of the connecting rod 13 to move, and the movement of the connecting rod 13 drives the first linkage sleeve 12 and the support rod 11 to move and adjust, which facilitates the movement and adjustment of the fixing plate 15 on the surface of the support rod 11.

[0030] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 A fixing plate 15 is fixedly installed on the surface of the support rod 11. A fixing plate 16 is fixedly installed on the right side of the fixing plate 15. A push plate 17 is fixedly installed on the right side of the fixing plate 16. Reinforcing ribs 18 are fixedly installed on the top and bottom of the fixing plate 16 and the fixing plate 15.

[0031] As a technical optimization of this utility model, a fixing plate 15 is set on the surface of the support rod 11, and a fixing plate 16 is installed on the fixing plate 15. The movement of the fixing plate 15 drives the movement of the fixing plate 16, and the movement of the fixing plate 16 drives the movement of the push plate 17. The movement of the push plate 17 pushes and collects the car muffler hook that has been tested, and the fixing plate 16 is reinforced by the reinforcing rib 18.

[0032] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A detection clamp 19 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the adjusting rod 10, a detection clamp 20 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the detection clamp 19, and a protective pad 21 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the detection clamp 20.

[0033] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the detection clamp 19 is set inside the adjusting rod 10. The movement of the adjusting rod 10 drives the detection clamp 19 to move, and the movement of the detection clamp 19 drives the detection clamp block 20 to move. The movement of the detection clamp block 20 performs the detection work on the car muffler hook. During the detection process of the car muffler hook, the detection clamp block 20 protects the car muffler hook with the protective pad 21.

[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 A first guide plate 22 is fixedly installed on the right side of the placement platform 2, and a discharge port 23 is located on the top right side of the detection platform 1. A second guide plate 24 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the discharge port 23.

[0035] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the car muffler hook that has been tested is pushed to the right by the push plate 17 through the first guide plate 22 on the right side of the placement platform 2. The car muffler hook falls to the top of the second guide plate 24 through the discharge port 23 through the first guide plate 22, and then falls into the storage box 3 for storage through the second guide plate 24.

[0036] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: In use, the car muffler hook to be tested is placed on top of the placement platform 2. Then, the adjusting motor 5 is started, causing the output end of the adjusting motor 5 to drive the bidirectional screw 8 to rotate. The rotation of the bidirectional screw 8 drives the adjusting block 9 to move, which in turn drives the adjusting rod 10 to move. The adjustment rod 10 then drives the detection clamp 19 to move, which in turn drives the detection clamp 20 to move. The detection clamp 20 then performs the testing of the car muffler hook. During the testing process, the detection clamp 20 protects the car muffler hook with a protective pad 21. Then, the output end of the adjusting motor 5 drives the bidirectional screw 8 to rotate in the opposite direction. This reverse rotation of the bidirectional screw 8 drives the adjusting block 9 to move outwards, which in turn drives... The adjusting rod 10 moves, which in turn moves the second linkage sleeve 14 and one end of the connecting rod 13. The connecting rod 13 moves, which in turn moves the first linkage sleeve 12 and the support rod 11. This allows for the adjustment of the fixed plate 15 on the surface of the support rod 11. The movement of the fixed plate 15 moves the fixed plate 16, which in turn moves the push plate 17. The push plate 17 pushes and collects the inspected car muffler hook, and reinforces the fixed plate 16 with the reinforcing rib 18. The push plate 17 pushes the inspected car muffler hook to the right, and the first guide plate 22 guides the car muffler hook to fall through the discharge port 23 to the top of the second guide plate 24. The second guide plate 24 then guides the car muffler hook into the storage box 3 for storage.

[0037] In summary: This surface inspection instrument for automotive muffler hooks, by setting a limiting groove 71, a bidirectional screw 8, and a support rod 11, moves the support rod 11, causing the adjusting plate 6 to move. The movement of the adjusting plate 6 causes the limiting plate 72 to move, and the limiting plate 72, in conjunction with the limiting groove 71, limits the movement of the adjusting plate 6. The output of the adjusting motor 5 drives the bidirectional screw 8 to rotate, which in turn moves the adjusting block 9. The movement of the adjusting block 9 then moves the adjusting rod 10, which in turn moves the detection clamp 19. The support rod 11 is used to install the first linkage sleeve 12, which in turn allows for the movable installation of the connecting rod 13. The second linkage sleeve 14 is installed via the adjusting rod 10, and the other end of the connecting rod 13 is movably installed via the second linkage sleeve 14. The movement of the adjusting rod 10 drives the second linkage sleeve 14 and one end of the connecting rod 13 to move, and the movement of the connecting rod 13 drives the first linkage sleeve 12 and the support rod 11 to move and adjust. This facilitates the movement and adjustment of the fixing plate 15 on the surface of the support rod 11. This solves the problem that the testing instrument does not have a clamping structure, and the car muffler hook cannot be stably placed on the testing table, which may lead to movement or shaking during the testing process, thus affecting the accuracy of the testing results. In addition, the tested object cannot maintain the correct position and posture, which may lead to inaccurate testing results or failure to complete the testing.
