Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a comprehensive inspection standard for irregularly shaped spring end rings, belonging to the field of spring testing technology. Background Technology
[0002] The suspension system (also known as the suspension system) is the collective term for all force transmission, damping, and guiding devices between the car frame and the wheels. It is a core chassis component that determines a car's comfort, handling, and safety. Suspension springs, as a key component of the car's suspension system, are in extremely high demand. Due to differences in suspension system design among different automakers, suspension springs are often irregularly shaped, with their end rings simultaneously comprising a constant-diameter section, a transition section, and a lead section. The dimensions and shape of these irregularly shaped end rings directly affect the spring's assembly accuracy and operational safety.
[0003] Existing spring end ring inspection methods have the following obvious defects:
[0004] 1. When using general measuring tools such as calipers and micrometers for inspection, the inspection time for a single piece exceeds 30 seconds, which is inefficient and requires high skills from operators. The batch inspection also results in poor dimensional consistency.
[0005] 2. Existing dedicated inspection rules have problems such as complex structure, high manufacturing cost, ability to inspect only a single size, poor adaptability, and measurement accuracy is easily affected by environmental interference, which cannot meet the high-speed, high-precision, and low-cost batch inspection requirements of automobile production lines. Utility Model Content
[0006] Based on the shortcomings of the existing technology, the technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a comprehensive inspection gauge for irregularly shaped spring end rings, so as to realize the synchronous, rapid and accurate detection of the inner / outer diameter of the equal diameter portion, the inner / outer diameter of the transition portion, and the lead of the transition ring of irregularly shaped spring end rings, and overcome the defects of existing inspection tools such as low efficiency, poor accuracy and inability to detect multiple indicators simultaneously.
[0007] The spring irregular end ring comprehensive inspection gauge described in this utility model includes an outer cylinder and an inner cylinder. A bottom support part is sandwiched between the outer cylinder and the inner cylinder. The first end of the bottom support part is provided with an end positioning surface, which serves as a spring positioning reference and is used to fit with the end of the spring irregular end ring.

[0010] The upper part of the outer cylinder is provided with a lifting arc surface. The height of the lifting arc surface matches the lead of the qualified spring transition coil, which is used to determine whether the lead of the spring transition coil is qualified.
[0011] Preferably, the bottom support portion includes an arc-shaped plane and a spiral rising surface. The arc-shaped plane is used to fit with the diameter portion of the irregularly shaped end ring of the spring, and the spiral rising surface is a rising spiral curved surface.
[0012] Furthermore, the end positioning surface is perpendicular to the arc-shaped plane, and the end positioning surface is coplanar with the starting elevation of the raised arc surface.
[0013] Preferably, the bottom support portion has a through hole machined at its center for fixing.
[0014] Preferably, the interface between the outer cylinder constant diameter curved surface and the outer cylinder variable diameter curved surface is the plane where the end positioning surface is located, and the interface between the inner cylinder constant diameter curved surface and the inner cylinder variable diameter curved surface is also the plane where the end positioning surface is located.

[0030] 2.

[0031] 3. After all the inner and outer diameters of spring 1 are deemed to be qualified, observe whether the spring transition coil is higher than the lifting arc surface 21. If it is higher, the lead of the spring transition coil is deemed unqualified; if it is not higher, all the dimensions of spring 1 are qualified.
