[0002] Automotive suspension tube component inspection fixtures are tools specifically designed for inspecting the dimensions, shape, and positional accuracy of suspension system tube components. Designed based on CAD data, they simulate actual assembly conditions using a positioning device to quickly verify whether the tube component's hole positions, profiles, and spatial dimensions conform to standards. Employing high-precision measuring devices with errors controlled within ±0.15mm, they can replace traditional plug gauges and caliper gauges, improving inspection efficiency and consistency. They are key equipment for ensuring the safety performance of suspension systems.

[0003] In flexible production lines, when rapidly switching between different vehicle models for pipe fitting inspection, excessively long fixture changeover times or incorrect configurations (such as using the wrong positioning block) can cause production stoppages, affecting the efficiency of normal operation and resulting in economic losses for the factory. Therefore, this utility model proposes an automotive suspension pipe fitting inspection fixture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] A further improvement is made in that: the sliding locking mechanism includes a slider, a second threaded rod, and a fixed cover. The inside of the slide groove is provided with multiple sliders that are slidably connected. The top of the slider is fixedly connected to the second threaded rod. The top of the second threaded rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotary table. The outer side of the second threaded rod is threadedly connected to the fixed cover.

[0009] The further improvement is that the top of the second threaded rod extends through the top of the slide groove, the diameter of the fixing cover is greater than the width of the slide groove, and the shape of the slide groove is set as a convex structure.

[0010] A further improvement is made in that: the rotating mechanism includes a worm, a worm wheel, and a connecting shaft.

The bottom end of the threaded rod 7 is rotatably connected to the roller frame 8. The movable roller 9 is slidably connected to one side of the roller frame 8. An adjusting bolt 10 is rotatably connected to one side of the roller frame 8. One end of the adjusting bolt 10 passes through the top of the movable roller 9 and is threadedly connected to it. Both ends of the movable roller 9 and the roller frame 8 are symmetrically fixed with retaining rings. The outer wall of the retaining rings fits against the automotive suspension pipe. Tightening the threaded rod 7 in the forward direction... The movable roller frame 8 and the movable roller 9 move downwards until their bottom ends are in contact with the top of the automotive suspension tube. Then, according to the diameter of the automotive suspension tube, the adjusting bolt 10 is turned in both directions to drive the movable roller 9 to move back and forth in a straight line, changing the distance between the movable roller 9 and the roller frame 8 to adjust to a suitable clamping distance. The first threaded rod 7 is turned downwards again until the roller frame 8 and the movable roller 9 cooperate to clamp the automotive suspension tube on the top of the base 1. After the test is completed, the first threaded rod 7 is turned in the opposite direction to drive the roller frame 8 and the movable roller 9 to move upwards.

[0020] The sliding locking mechanism includes a slider 3, a second threaded rod 11, and a fixed cover 12. Multiple sliders 3 are slidably connected inside the slide groove 2. The top of the slider 3 is fixedly connected to the second threaded rod 11, and the top of the second threaded rod 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating platform 4. The outer side of the second threaded rod 11 is threadedly connected to the fixed cover 12. The top of the second threaded rod 11 extends through the top of the slide groove 2. The diameter of the fixed cover 12 is larger than the width of the slide groove 2. The slide groove 2 is shaped like a convex U. After inserting the slider 3 into the slide groove 2, it is pushed to slide inside the slide groove 2 until it is adjusted to a suitable position.

Then, the fixing cover 12 is screwed down until it engages with the slider 3 to clamp the base 1, locking the slider 3 in place. The rotating shaft 5 and connecting arm 6 are both mounted above the slider 3, also locking the clamping mechanism in place. To readjust the position, the fixing cover 12 is screwed up to separate it from the top of the base 1. Forward screwing of the first threaded rod 7 drives the rotating roller frame 8 and the movable rotating roller. 9. Move downwards until the bottom of the roller frame 8 and the movable roller 9 are in contact with the top of the automotive suspension tube. Then, according to the diameter of the automotive suspension tube, turn the adjusting bolt 10 to rotate it in both directions to drive the movable roller 9 to move back and forth in a straight line, changing the distance between the movable roller 9 and the roller frame 8 to adjust to a suitable clamping distance.
