[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are used to illustrate this utility model.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an automotive engine bracket assembly inspection tool includes: a frame 20, the frame 20 being U-shaped, a partition 21 fixedly connected to the top opening of the frame 20, the partition 21 being able to divide the top of the frame 20 into two separate openings, the partition 21 being a rod with a U-shaped side wall, the opening of the partition 21 facing downwards, and a partition plate 22 fixedly connected to the bottom opening of the partition 21, the partition plate 22 being a rectangular plate;
[0029] The combined inspection mold 23 is set in each opening at the top of the frame 20. The top of the combined inspection mold 23 has a groove in the shape of an engine bracket. The groove at the top of the combined inspection mold 23 also has a threaded hole. The combined inspection mold 23 is a commonly used mold for inspecting engine brackets. This is existing technology, so it will not be described in detail here.
[0030] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, a linkage structure is installed on the wall of the frame 20 to remove the engine bracket after the wall inspection of the combined inspection mold 23 is completed. The linkage structure includes: a main shaft 30, an upper right gear 32, a driven shaft 40, a lower right gear 42, a flip frame 35, and a flip plate 36. The main shaft 30 is rotatably connected to the middle section of the side wall of the partition 22. The upper right gear 32 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the main shaft 30. The driven shaft 40 is rotatably connected to the middle section of the side wall of the partition 22 and is located directly below the main shaft 30. The lower right gear 42 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the driven shaft 40. The flip frame 35 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the lower right gear 42. The flip plate 36 is fixedly connected to the top of the flip frame 35. The same flip frame 35 and flip plate 36 are symmetrically arranged in the two openings at the top of the frame 20. Each set of inspection molds 23 can be fixedly connected to the top plane of the flip plate 36.
[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the main shaft 30 is cylindrical. The upper right gear 32 can mesh with the lower right gear 42. The lower right gear 42 can be fixedly connected to the side wall of the right-side flip frame 35. The other end of the flip frame 35 can be inserted into the side wall of the frame 20 by a cylindrical insert. The linkage structure also includes a drive shaft 31, a limiting disc 33, a servo motor 37, a kinetic energy shaft 38, and a belt 39. The drive shaft 31 is fixedly connected to the left side of the main shaft 30. The limiting disc 33 is fixedly connected to the right side wall of the upper right gear 32. The servo motor 37 is fixedly installed on one side of the rear wall of the partition 21. The kinetic energy shaft 38 can be fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 37. The belt 39 is sleeved on... On the outer wall surfaces of the kinetic shaft 38 and the drive shaft 31, the drive shaft 31 and the kinetic shaft 38 have the same size. The drive shaft 31 is located on the left side of the partition 22. The limiting disc 33 is disc-shaped and its size is larger than that of the upper right gear 32. The side wall surface of the limiting disc 33 can contact the side wall surface of the partition 22. The linkage structure also includes an upper left gear 34 and a lower left gear 41. The upper left gear 34 is fixedly connected to the left side wall surface of the drive shaft 31, and the lower left gear 41 is fixedly connected to the left side wall surface of the driven shaft 40. The upper left gear 34 can mesh with the lower left gear 41 at the bottom, and the left side wall surface of the upper left gear 34 can be fixedly connected to the side wall surface of the left tilting frame 35.
[0032] In practical use, under normal conditions, the two combined inspection molds 23 face upwards and downwards respectively, with the flip frames 35 and flip plates 36 on their walls also facing the same direction. When inspecting engine brackets, an engine bracket is placed in the groove at the top of the upward-facing combined inspection mold 23. The fit between the engine bracket and the structure in the groove is observed to determine whether the engine bracket meets the standards. After inspection, the servo motor 37 is started, driving the kinetic shaft 38 to rotate. The kinetic shaft 38 drives the belt 39 for transmission, which in turn drives the drive shaft 31 to rotate. As the drive shaft 31 rotates, it drives the main shaft 30, the upper right gear 32, the limit plate 33, and the upper left gear 34 to rotate synchronously on the wall of the partition 22. As the upper left gear 34 rotates, it drives the flip frames 35 and flip plates 36 to rotate synchronously. The combined inspection mold 23 above rotates. After the flipping frame 35 rotates half a turn, the control power shaft 38 stops rotating. Then, when the upper left gear 34 and upper right gear 32 rotate, the lower left gear 41 will rotate with the upper left gear 34, and the lower right gear 42 will rotate with the upper right gear 32. At the same time, the flipping frame 35, flipping plate 36 and combined inspection mold 23 on the side wall of the lower right gear 42 will rotate. As the drive shaft 31 stops rotating, the orientation of the two combined inspection molds 23 at the top of the frame 20 will be reversed. The engine bracket that was originally located above and completed the inspection will fall downwards to the bottom of the frame 20 as the combined inspection mold 23 flips. Then, as the top of the conveyor belt at the bottom of the frame 20 moves, the baffle will prevent the engine bracket from falling to another place when the combined inspection mold 23 flips. The engine bracket that fails the inspection is marked after inspection and removed later.
[0033] In summary, by setting up a linkage structure to drive the relative movement of the symmetrical combined inspection mold 23, the engine bracket can be automatically disengaged from the combined inspection mold 23 during inspection. This allows workers to simply lift the engine bracket onto the combined inspection mold 23 for inspection without having to remove it again, effectively reducing worker workload and improving work efficiency.
[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the side wall of the frame 20 is in the shape of a U-shaped opening facing downwards. A conveyor belt is also provided at the bottom of the frame 20. A baffle to prevent the engine bracket from detaching is installed at the rear of the frame 20.
[0035] In actual use, after the engine bracket is inspected, it will fall downwards onto the conveyor belt as the combined inspection mold 23 is flipped, and then it will move with the conveyor belt.
[0036] In summary, the conveyor belt located below the frame 20 facilitates centralized processing of the inspected engine brackets, and the baffle prevents the engine brackets from flying out of the device and injuring workers when they are flipped by the combined inspection mold 23.
[0037] Working principle: Under normal conditions, the two combined inspection molds 23 face upwards and downwards respectively, and the flip frames 35 and flip plates 36 on their walls also face synchronously. When inspecting the engine bracket, an engine bracket is placed in the groove at the top of the upward-facing combined inspection mold 23. The fit between the engine bracket and the structure in the groove is observed to determine whether the engine bracket meets the standards. After inspection, the servo motor 37 is started, which drives the kinetic shaft 38 to rotate. When the kinetic shaft 38 rotates, it drives the belt 39 for transmission. When the belt 39 drives the drive shaft 31 to rotate, the drive shaft 31 rotates, and as the drive shaft 31 rotates, it drives the main shaft 30, the upper right gear 32, the limit plate 33, and the upper left gear 34 to rotate synchronously on the wall of the partition 22. As the upper left gear 34 rotates, it drives the tilting frame 35, the tilting plate 36, and the combined inspection mold 23 above to rotate. After the tilting frame 35 rotates half a turn, the control power shaft 38 stops rotating. Then, when the upper left gear 34 and the upper right gear 32 rotate, the lower left gear 41 will rotate with the upper left gear 34, and the lower right gear 42 will rotate with the upper right gear 32. At the same time, the tilting frame 35, the tilting plate 36, and the combined inspection mold 23 on the side wall of the lower right gear 42 will rotate. As the drive shaft 31 stops rotating, the orientation of the two combined inspection molds 23 at the top of the frame 20 will be reversed. The engine bracket that was originally located above and completed the inspection will fall downwards under the frame 20 as the combined inspection mold 23 flips over, and then move with the top of the conveyor belt at the bottom of the frame 20.

Furthermore, under the teachings of this utility model, these features and embodiments can be modified to adapt to specific situations and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of this utility model.
