Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of millimeter-wave radar, and more specifically, to a millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool. Background Technology

[0002] During the installation and subsequent maintenance of automotive millimeter-wave radar, bolts are required for adjustment. This adjustment involves tightening the adjusting bolts on the millimeter-wave radar to the appropriate degree. Currently, tightening these adjusting bolts is mostly done manually.

[0003] When manually adjusting millimeter-wave radar, the operation relies heavily on the experience and skills of the workers. Significant differences in adjustment accuracy exist between different operators, making it difficult to guarantee consistent product quality. Furthermore, the adjustment process is time-consuming and inefficient. Especially in large-scale production, the required rotation angle of the adjusting bolts must be consistent during millimeter-wave radar adjustment. However, due to human factors, over- or under-adjustment of the bolts can easily occur, leading to unstable product performance and potentially damaging the bolts and radar mounting components due to repeated adjustments. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of existing technologies in adjusting millimeter-wave radar during large-scale production, where bolts are easily over- or under-adjusted. This invention provides a millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool that can display and quantify the rotation angle of the bolts on the millimeter-wave radar, thus avoiding the problem of over- or under-adjustment.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool is provided, including a tightening sleeve, a connecting rod, and an angle display. The tightening sleeve is used to connect to the adjustment bolt on the millimeter-wave radar. The tightening sleeve is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. The angle display includes a dial and a pointer. The dial is provided with a scale. The pointer is rotatably connected to the dial. The connecting rod can drive the pointer to rotate.

[0007] In use, the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool of this invention involves fixing a tightening sleeve onto the adjusting bolt on the millimeter-wave radar. Rotating the connecting rod causes the tightening sleeve to rotate, thereby tightening the millimeter-wave radar bolt. Simultaneously, the rotation of the connecting rod also causes the pointer on the angle display to rotate. The operator can read the rotation angle of the pointer by observing the changes in the scale indicated by its rotation on the dial, thus obtaining the rotation angle of the adjusting bolt on the millimeter-wave radar.

[0008] The millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool of this invention can quantify and read the rotation angle of the tightening sleeve through the dial and pointer of the angle display, so that the operator can intuitively obtain the rotation angle of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment bolt, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately adjusting the rotation angle of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment bolt and avoid the situation of over-adjustment or under-adjustment of the bolt.

[0009] Furthermore, the angle display also includes a housing, with the dial and pointer both mounted on the top of the housing. The connecting rod includes a rotating rod, a first bevel gear, and a second bevel gear. A tightening sleeve is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod. The rotating rod passes through the side wall of the housing and is rotatably connected to the housing. The first bevel gear and the second bevel gear are both located within the inner cavity of the housing. The first bevel gear is sleeved on the rotating rod and fixedly connected to it. The bottom of the pointer is fixedly mounted on the second bevel gear, and the first bevel gear meshes with the second bevel gear. The dial and pointer are both mounted on the top of the housing, making it easier for the operator to read the readings on the dial. The axis of rotation of the pointer and the axis of rotation of the second bevel gear coincide. Bearings are fixedly connected to two opposite side walls of the inner cavity of the housing. When the rotating rod passes through the side walls of the housing, it passes through the two bearings on the side walls in sequence. When the rotating rod rotates, the tightening sleeve fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod and the first bevel gear fixedly connected to the rotating rod rotate synchronously with the rotating rod. After the first bevel gear rotates, it drives the second bevel gear to rotate, and the rotation of the second bevel gear drives the pointer to rotate on the dial. The connecting rod section transmits the rotation of the rotating rod to the pointer via a first and second bevel gear, a simple, convenient, and highly accurate transmission method. The rotating rod is rotatably connected to the housing via a bearing, which reduces friction between the rotating rod and the housing, extending the service life of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool.

[0010] Furthermore, the transmission ratio between the first bevel gear and the second bevel gear is 1:1. This 1:1 ratio means that when the first bevel gear drives the second bevel gear to rotate, the rotation angle of the first bevel gear is the same as that of the second bevel gear. In other words, the rotation angle of the lever is the same as the rotation angle of the pointer. At this point, the operator can directly obtain the rotation angle of the tightening sleeve from the pointer's rotation angle without needing to perform multiplier conversions, making it easier for the operator to obtain the rotation angle of the adjusting bolt on the millimeter-wave radar.

[0011] Furthermore, the bottom of the outer casing is square. This square bottom makes it easier for operators to grip the casing when using the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool. Operators can grip the bottom of the casing or the lower half of the side wall to secure the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool, making it easier to use and improving the user experience.

[0012] Furthermore, a first support plate and a second support plate are fixedly installed inside the outer shell. The rotating rod passes through the first support plate and the second support plate and is rotatably connected to both the first and second support plates. The first bevel gear is located between the first and second support plates. The arrangement of the first and second support plates further supports the rotating rod passing through the outer shell, preventing it from becoming misaligned due to vibration during use and improving the shock resistance of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool.

[0013] Furthermore, a rotation damper is provided on the first support plate and / or the second support plate, and the rotating rod passes through the rotation damper on the first support plate and / or the second support plate and is fixedly connected to the rotation damper. The rotation damper enables the rotating rod to achieve a stable rotation effect during rotation, and also prevents the rotating rod from deflecting due to vibration when the operator does not apply external force to drive its rotation, further improving the accuracy of the readings on the angle display. A rotation damper can be provided on either the first or second support plate; in this case, the support plate without a rotation damper is rotatably connected to the rotating shaft via a bearing. Alternatively, rotation dampers can be provided on both the first and second support plates, in which case the rotating rod passes through the rotation dampers on the first and second support plates sequentially.

[0014] Furthermore, both the first and second bevel gears have a wear-resistant coating on their surfaces. Applying a wear-resistant coating to the first and second bevel gears extends their service life.

[0015] Furthermore, a handle is provided at the end of the rotating rod away from the tightening sleeve, and the handle is fixedly connected to the rotating rod. The handle has anti-slip texture. The handle makes it easier for the operator to grip the rotating rod and drive it to rotate. The anti-slip texture on the handle increases the friction between the operator's hand and the handle, making it easier for the operator to grip the handle.

[0016] Furthermore, the tightening sleeve is detachably connected to the rotating rod. The connection between the tightening sleeve and the rotating rod is generally a snap-fit ​​or plug-in connection. The type of tightening sleeve on the rotating rod can be changed according to the type of adjusting bolt on the millimeter-wave radar, increasing the application scenarios of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool and making it suitable for adjusting more models of millimeter-wave radar.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] The millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool of this invention can quantify and read the rotation angle of the tightening sleeve through the dial and pointer of the angle display, so that the operator can intuitively obtain the rotation angle of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment bolt, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately adjusting the rotation angle of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment bolt and avoid the situation of over-adjustment or under-adjustment of the bolt.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] This embodiment is a first embodiment of a millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool, such as... Figure 1 As shown, it includes a tightening sleeve 1, a connecting rod, and an angle display. The tightening sleeve 1 is used to connect with the millimeter-wave radar by bolts. The tightening sleeve 1 is fixedly connected to the connecting rod. The angle display includes a dial 2 and a pointer 3. The dial 2 is provided with a scale. The pointer 3 is rotatably connected to the dial 2. The connecting rod can drive the pointer 3 to rotate.

[0028] The working principle or process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0029] In this embodiment, the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool is used by fixing the tightening sleeve 1 onto the adjustment bolt on the millimeter-wave radar. Then, the connecting rod is rotated, which drives the tightening sleeve 1 to rotate, thereby tightening the millimeter-wave radar bolt. At the same time, the rotation of the connecting rod also drives the pointer 3 on the angle display to rotate. The operator can read the rotation angle of the pointer 3 by observing the scale change indicated by the pointer 3 as it rotates on the dial 2, and thus obtain the rotation angle of the adjustment bolt on the millimeter-wave radar.

[0030] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows:

[0031] In this embodiment, the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool can quantify and read the rotation angle of the tightening sleeve 1 through the dial 2 and pointer 3 of the angle display. This allows the operator to intuitively obtain the rotation angle of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment bolt, achieving precise adjustment of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment bolt's rotation angle and avoiding over- or under-adjustment of the bolt.

[0032] Example 2

[0033] This embodiment is a second embodiment of a millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment further defines the angle display and the connecting rod portion based on Embodiment 1.

[0034] Specifically, the angle display also includes a housing 4, with the dial 2 and pointer 3 both mounted on the top of the housing 4. The connecting rod includes a rotating rod 5, a first bevel gear 6, and a second bevel gear 7. A tightening sleeve 1 is fixedly mounted on one end of the rotating rod 5. The rotating rod 5 passes through the side wall of the housing 4 and is rotatably connected to the housing 4. The first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7 are both located in the inner cavity of the housing 4. The first bevel gear 6 is sleeved on the rotating rod 5 and fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5. The bottom of the pointer 3 is fixedly mounted on the second bevel gear 7. A third support plate 13 is fixedly mounted in the inner cavity of the housing 4. The third support plate 13 has mounting holes, and a rotary bearing is provided in the mounting holes. The second bevel gear 7 is mounted on the rotary bearing in the mounting holes. After the pointer 3 extends into the mounting holes, it is fixedly connected to the second bevel gear 7. The first bevel gear 6 meshes with the second bevel gear 7.

[0035] Specifically, the pivot of pointer 3 coincides with the pivot of the second bevel gear 7. Bearings 8 are fixedly connected to two opposite side walls of the inner cavity of the outer casing 4. When the rotating rod 5 passes through the side wall of the outer casing 4, it passes through the two bearings 8 on the side wall of the outer casing 4 in sequence.

[0036] Specifically, the transmission ratio between the first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7 is 1:1.

[0037] Specifically, the inner cavity of the outer shell 4 is also fixedly installed with a first support plate 9 and a second support plate 10. The rotating rod 5 passes through the first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10 and is rotatably connected to the first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10. The first bevel gear 6 is located between the first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10.

[0038] Specifically, both the first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10 are provided with rotation dampers 11, and the rotating rod 5 passes through the rotation dampers 11 on the first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10 in sequence and is fixedly connected to the rotation dampers 11.

[0039] Specifically, the surfaces of the first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7 are both coated with a wear-resistant coating.

[0040] The working principle or process of this embodiment is as follows:

[0041] When the rotating rod 5 rotates, the tightening sleeve 1 fixedly connected to the end of the rotating rod 5 and the first bevel gear 6 fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5 rotate synchronously with the rotating rod 5. After the first bevel gear 6 rotates, it drives the second bevel gear 7 to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear 7 can drive the pointer 3 to rotate on the dial 2. The connecting rod part transmits the rotation of the rotating rod 5 to the pointer 3 through the first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7, thereby driving the pointer 3 to rotate.

[0042] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows:

[0043] Both the dial 2 and the pointer 3 are mounted on the top of the housing 4, making it easier for the operator to read the readings on the dial 2. The connecting rod transmits the rotation of the rotating rod 5 to the pointer 3 through the first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7, a simple, convenient, and highly accurate transmission method. The rotating rod 5 is rotatably connected to the housing 4 through the bearing 8, which reduces the friction between the rotating rod 5 and the housing 4, extending the service life of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool.

[0044] The transmission ratio of the first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7 is 1:1, meaning that the rotation angle of the rotating rod 5 is the same as the rotation angle of the pointer 3. At this time, the operator can intuitively obtain the rotation angle of the tightening sleeve 1 through the rotation angle of the pointer 3 without the need for multiplier conversion, making it easier for the operator to obtain the rotation angle of the adjusting bolt on the millimeter-wave radar.

[0045] The bottom of the outer casing 4 is square, which makes it easier for operators to grasp the outer casing 4 when using millimeter-wave radar adjustment tools.

[0046] The first support plate 9 and the second support plate 10 can further support the rotating rod 5 that passes through the outer shell 4, preventing the rotating rod 5 from becoming misaligned due to vibration during use and improving the shock resistance of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool.

[0047] The rotation damper 11 enables the rotating rod 5 to achieve a stable rotation effect when rotating, and when the operator does not apply external force to drive the rotation of the rotating rod 5, it can also prevent the rotating rod 5 from deflecting due to vibration, further improving the accuracy of the reading in the angle display.

[0048] Applying a wear-resistant coating to the first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7 can extend the service life of the first bevel gear 6 and the second bevel gear 7.

[0049] Example 3

[0050] This embodiment is a third embodiment of a millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool, such as... Figures 1-4 As shown, this embodiment further defines other structures of the adjustment tool based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2.

[0051] Specifically, a handle 12 is provided at the end of the rotating rod 5 away from the tightening sleeve 1, and the handle 12 is fixedly connected to the rotating rod 5. The handle 12 is provided with anti-slip texture.

[0052] Specifically, the tightening sleeve 1 and the rotating rod 5 are detachably connected. The detachable connection between the tightening sleeve 1 and the rotating rod 5 is either a plug-in connection or a snap-fit ​​connection.

[0053] The beneficial effects of this embodiment are as follows:

[0054] The handle 12 is designed to facilitate the operator's grip on the rotating rod 5 and drive it to rotate. The anti-slip texture on the handle 12 increases the friction between the operator's hand and the handle 12, making it easier for the operator to grip the handle 12. The tightening sleeve 1 is detachably connected to the rotating rod 5, allowing the tightening sleeve 1 on the rotating rod 5 to be replaced with different models of adjusting bolts on the millimeter-wave radar. This expands the application scenarios of the millimeter-wave radar adjustment tool, making it suitable for adjusting more models of millimeter-wave radar.

Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here.
