Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of steering knuckle testing technology, specifically to a testing bench for automobile steering knuckle production. Background Technology

[0002] The steering knuckle is one of the main components of the automotive steering axle. It enables the car to drive stably and transmit driving direction sensitively. The function of the steering knuckle is to bear the load of the front of the car, support and drive the front wheels to rotate around the kingpin so that the car can be steered. After the steering knuckle is produced, it needs to be placed on the inspection stand. The inspection stand supports the steering knuckle, and the steering knuckle is transported to the vision inspection equipment by the conveyor for visual inspection.

[0003] While existing automotive steering knuckle production testing benches can support steering knuckles, it has been found that the support components are not replaceable, making it impossible to adapt to different steering knuckle models and sizes. This results in poor applicability and inconvenience in supporting steering knuckles of different models and sizes. Therefore, we propose an automotive steering knuckle production testing bench to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a production testing bench for automotive steering knuckles to solve the problems currently existing in the market as described in the background.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a production and testing bench for automotive steering knuckles, comprising a chain conveyor, wherein supports are equidistantly mounted on the chain conveyor, and the supports are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt of the chain conveyor via support legs, wherein...

[0006] A testing platform is installed on the support. A support mold frame is installed on the side of the testing platform away from the support. The testing platform has symmetrical sliding grooves on both sides near the testing platform. A slider is installed in the sliding groove. A clamping frame is fixedly connected to the side of the slider near the testing platform. The testing platform has symmetrical slots on the side near the clamping frame. A clamping block is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping frame corresponding to the slot. A sliding rod groove is connected to the outside of the support near the sliding groove. A sliding rod is fixedly connected to the side of the slider corresponding to the sliding rod groove.

[0007] The support is rotatably connected to a drive wheel on the side near the chain conveyor. The drive wheel has symmetrical arc-shaped grooves running through both sides. The bottom end of the slide rod passes through the interior of the arc-shaped groove. A drive groove is opened in the middle of the inner side of the support. A first reversing gear is installed on the rotating shaft end of the drive wheel corresponding to the drive groove. A second reversing gear is rotatably connected to the interior of the drive groove near the first reversing gear. A handle is installed on the shaft end of the second reversing gear near the outer side of the support. The handle is prevented from rotating automatically by a locking mechanism.

[0008] Preferably, the detection placement platform has two slots on one side, and the inner diameter of the slots matches the outer diameter of the card block.

[0009] Preferably, the arc-shaped groove is obliquely arranged, and the inner width of the arc-shaped groove matches the outer diameter of the slide rod.

[0010] Preferably, the first reversing gear and the second reversing gear are perpendicular to each other, and the first reversing gear and the second reversing gear mesh with each other.

[0011] Preferably, the locking mechanism includes a first locking tooth, and the first locking teeth are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the ring side of the handle. A fixing frame is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support near the handle. A guide rod groove passes through the fixing frame, and a guide rod passes through the guide rod groove. A baffle is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod near the handle. A second locking tooth is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle corresponding to the first locking tooth. A spring is sleeved on the guide rod between the baffle and the fixing frame.

[0012] Preferably, the guide rod is rectangular columnar, and the external dimensions of the guide rod match the internal dimensions of the guide rod groove, and the tooth pitch of the first locking tooth and the second locking tooth is equal.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0014] This invention utilizes a handle to drive a second reversing gear to rotate. The second reversing gear meshes with and drives a first reversing gear to rotate. The first reversing gear then drives a transmission wheel to rotate. When the transmission wheel rotates, it drives a slider to slide within the groove via an arc-shaped groove and a sliding rod. This causes the two clamping frames on both sides to move closer or further apart, thereby allowing the clamping frames to insert or remove the locking blocks from the slots. This enables the assembly and disassembly of the testing platform. The installation structure of this testing platform allows for quick replacement of the testing platform and its supporting mold frame, enabling the replacement of the testing platform and supporting mold frame according to the size and model of the automotive steering knuckle. This effectively improves the applicability of the steering knuckle production testing platform.

[0015] This invention addresses the issue of disassembling and assembling the testing platform by rotating the handle. A guide rod drives a baffle to overcome spring force and move away from the handle, causing the baffle to separate the first and second locking teeth, allowing the handle to rotate normally. After the testing platform is installed, releasing the guide rod allows the spring to move the baffle towards the handle, engaging the first and second locking teeth and locking the handle. This prevents the handle from rotating due to vibration, thus avoiding loosening of the testing platform and effectively improving its stability after installation. Attached Figure Description

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Please see Figures 1 to 6This utility model provides a technical solution: a production and testing bench for automotive steering knuckles, including a chain conveyor 1, on which supports 2 are equidistantly installed, and the supports 2 are fixedly connected to the conveyor belt of the chain conveyor 1 via support legs 3.

[0025] A test placement platform 4 is installed on the support 2. A support mold frame 5 is installed on the side of the test placement platform 4 away from the support 2. Slide grooves 6 are symmetrically opened on both sides of the test placement platform 4. A slider 7 is installed in the slide groove 6. A clamping frame 8 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 7 near the test placement platform 4. A slot 9 is symmetrically opened on the side of the test placement platform 4 near the clamping frame 8. A clamping block 10 is fixedly connected to the side of the clamping frame 8 corresponding to the slot 9. A slide bar groove 11 is connected to the outside of the support 2 near the slide groove 6. A slide bar 12 is fixedly connected to the side of the slider 7 corresponding to the slide bar groove 11.

[0026] A drive wheel 13 is rotatably connected to the side of the support 2 near the chain conveyor 1. Arc grooves 14 are symmetrically passed through both sides of the drive wheel 13. The bottom end of the slide rod 12 passes through the interior of the arc grooves 14. A drive groove 15 is opened in the middle of the inner side of the support 2. A first reversing gear 16 is installed on the rotating shaft end of the drive wheel 13 corresponding to the drive groove 15. A second reversing gear 17 is rotatably connected to the interior of the drive groove 15 near the first reversing gear 16. A handle 18 is installed on the shaft end of the second reversing gear 17 near the outer side of the support 2. The handle 18 is prevented from rotating automatically by a locking mechanism.

[0027] The handle 18 drives the second reversing gear 17 to rotate, which in turn drives the first reversing gear 16 to rotate. The first reversing gear 16 drives the transmission wheel 13 to rotate. When the transmission wheel 13 rotates, it drives the slider 7 to slide in the slide groove 6 through the arc groove 14 and the slide rod 12. This causes the clamping frames 8 on both sides to move closer or further apart, which in turn causes the clamping frames 8 to drive the locking block 10 to insert or move out of the slot 9. This allows the testing platform 4 to be disassembled and assembled. Through the installation structure of the testing platform 4, the testing platform 4 and its supporting mold frame 5 can be quickly replaced. This allows the testing platform 4 and the supporting mold frame 5 to be replaced according to the size and model of the automotive steering knuckle, effectively improving the applicability of the steering knuckle production testing platform.

[0028] Please see Figures 1 to 6 The testing platform 4 has two slots 9 on one side, and the inner diameter of the slot 9 matches the outer diameter of the block 10. The arc groove 14 is set at an angle, and the inner width of the arc groove 14 matches the outer diameter of the slide rod 12. The first reversing gear 16 and the second reversing gear 17 are perpendicular to each other, and the first reversing gear 16 and the second reversing gear 17 mesh with each other.

[0029] Please see Figures 1 to 6The locking mechanism includes a first locking tooth 19. The first locking teeth 19 are fixedly connected at equal intervals to the annular side of the handle 18. A fixing frame 20 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the support 2 near the handle 18. A guide rod groove 21 passes through the fixing frame 20, and a guide rod 22 passes through the guide rod groove 21. A baffle 23 is fixedly connected to one end of the guide rod 22 near the handle 18. A second locking tooth 24 is fixedly connected to the side of the baffle 23 corresponding to the first locking tooth 19. A spring 25 is fitted on the guide rod 22 between the baffle 23 and the fixing frame 20. The guide rod 22 is rectangular and its external dimensions match the internal dimensions of the guide rod groove 21. The tooth pitch of the first locking tooth 19 and the second locking tooth 24 is equal. When it is necessary to pass through… When the handle 18 is rotated to disassemble or assemble the testing platform 4, the guide rod 22 drives the baffle 23 to move away from the handle 18, overcoming the spring force of the spring 25. This causes the baffle 23 to separate the first locking tooth 19 from the second locking tooth 24, allowing the handle 18 to rotate normally. After the testing platform 4 is installed, the guide rod 22 is released, and the spring 25 causes the baffle 23 to move the first locking tooth 19 toward the handle 18, causing the first locking tooth 19 to engage with the second locking tooth 24, thereby locking the handle 18. This prevents the handle 18 from rotating due to equipment vibration, which could cause the installation of the testing platform 4 to become loose, effectively improving the stability of the testing platform 4 after installation.

[0030] Working Principle: This automotive steering knuckle production testing bench uses a handle 18 to drive a second reversing gear 17 to rotate. The second reversing gear 17 meshes with and drives a first reversing gear 16 to rotate. The first reversing gear 16 drives a transmission wheel 13 to rotate. When the transmission wheel 13 rotates, it drives a slider 7 to slide within a groove 6 via an arc-shaped groove 14 and a sliding rod 12. This causes the two clamping frames 8 to move closer or further apart, thereby causing the clamping frames 8 to drive the locking blocks 10 to insert into or move out of the slots 9. This allows for the assembly and disassembly of the testing platform 4. The installation structure of the testing platform 4 allows for quick replacement of the testing platform 4 and its supporting mold frame 5, enabling adjustments to the testing platform 4 and supporting mold frame 5 according to the size and model of the automotive steering knuckle. This design effectively improves the applicability of the steering knuckle production testing platform. When the testing platform 4 needs to be disassembled or assembled by rotating the handle 18, the guide rod 22 drives the baffle 23 to move away from the handle 18, overcoming the spring force of the spring 25. This causes the baffle 23 to separate the first locking tooth 19 from the second locking tooth 24, allowing the handle 18 to rotate normally. After the testing platform 4 is installed, the guide rod 22 is released, and the spring 25 causes the baffle 23 to move the first locking tooth 19 towards the handle 18, engaging the first locking tooth 19 with the second locking tooth 24, thereby locking the handle 18. This prevents the handle 18 from rotating due to equipment vibration, which could cause the installation of the testing platform 4 to become loose, effectively improving the stability of the testing platform 4 after installation.

[0031] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
