Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] Specific implementation examples are given below.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the embodiment of this utility model, a visual inspection fixture for automotive pipelines includes a base plate 1; two symmetrically arranged support columns 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the base plate 1; a load-bearing plate 12 is fixedly connected to the top of the support columns 11; two symmetrically arranged support rods 13 are fixedly connected to the top of the load-bearing plate 12; a connecting plate 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the support rods 13; a screw 15 is threadedly connected to the inside of the connecting plate 14; a handle 16 is fixedly connected to the end of the screw 15; a fixing block 17 is rotatably connected to the end of the screw 15 away from the handle 16; a V-shaped fixing plate 18 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixing block 17; during operation, the pipe to be inspected is... The pipeline is placed on top of the load-bearing plate 12. Rotating the handle 16 causes the screw 15 to rotate inside the connecting plate 14. As the screw 15 rotates, it moves vertically, which in turn moves the V-shaped fixing plate 18. The V-shaped fixing plate 18 cooperates with the load-bearing plate 12 to fix the pipeline. This structure effectively fixes the pipeline, reduces slippage during pipeline testing, improves the accuracy of the test results, and can adapt to pipelines of different sizes, reducing the need for frequent tooling changes and effectively improving the flexibility of the tooling.

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two symmetrically arranged electric actuators 2 are fixed to the top of the base plate 1; a support plate 21 is fixed to the top of the electric actuators 2; a motor 22 is fixed to the side wall of the support plate 21; a lead screw 23 is rotatably connected inside the support plate 21, and the lead screw 23 is connected to the output end of the motor 22; a connecting block 24 is threadedly connected to the middle of the lead screw 23; an industrial camera 25 is fixed to the side wall of the connecting block 24; during operation, the electric actuators 2 are started, driving the support plate 21 to move vertically, allowing the industrial camera 25 to irradiate the pipeline under test. Then, the motor 22 is started, driving the lead screw 23 to rotate inside the support plate 21. As the lead screw 23 rotates, it drives the connecting block 24 to move, which in turn drives the industrial camera 25 to move. Through the above structure, various parts of the pipeline can be quickly irradiated, greatly improving the detection efficiency, reducing manual inspection, reducing the labor intensity of workers, and improving the detection effect.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, two symmetrically arranged bases 3 are fixed to the top of the support plate 21; a metal rod 31 is fixed to the top of the base 3; a supplementary light 32 is fixed to the end of the metal rod 31; when the industrial camera 25 inspects the pipeline during operation, it may encounter a situation where the light is too dim and the inspection is unclear. The metal rod 31 can be bent to adjust the illumination position of the supplementary light 32. Through the above structure, the lighting conditions of the working environment can be effectively improved, so that all parts of the pipeline surface can be uniformly illuminated, effectively improving the visual inspection effect. The angle of 32 is adjustable, which greatly improves the flexibility of the tooling.

[0028] like Figure 2 As shown, a rectangular slot 4 is provided on the support rod 13; a connecting rod 41 is slidably connected inside the rectangular slot 4; the connecting rod 41 is fixed to the side wall of the fixed block 17; a positioning block 42 is fixed to the end of the connecting rod 41; during operation, when the fixed block 17 moves, the connecting rod 41 slides inside the rectangular slot 4. Through the above structure, the fixed block 17 can be effectively guided, reducing the shaking that occurs during the movement of the fixed block 17, thereby improving the stability of the overall structure of the tooling.

[0029] like Figure 4 As shown, a guide rod 5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 21; a slider 51 is slidably connected to the middle of the guide rod 5; the slider 51 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting block 24; during operation, when the connecting block 24 moves, the slider 51 on the side wall of the connecting block 24 slides along the guide rod 5. Through the above structure, the connecting block 24 can be effectively guided, and the stability of the moving process of the connecting block 24 can be maintained, thereby improving the stability of the industrial camera 25 and making the visual inspection effect better.

[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, a first rubber pad 6 is bonded to the top of the load-bearing plate 12; a second rubber pad 61 is bonded to the bottom of the V-shaped fixing plate 18. During operation, the first rubber pad 6 and the second rubber pad 61 are respectively set on the load-bearing plate 12 and the V-shaped fixing plate 18. Through the above structure, the wear of the load-bearing plate 12 and the V-shaped fixing plate 18 on the pipeline can be effectively reduced, and the friction between them and the pipeline can be increased, resulting in a better fixing effect on the pipeline.

[0031] like Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, a protective sleeve 7 is bonded to the middle of the metal rod 31; the protective sleeve 7 is made of sponge material; when working, if the metal rod 31 is bent to adjust the illumination angle of the supplementary light 32, the metal rod 31 may cause damage to the hand. The protective sleeve 7 on the metal rod 31 can be held at the position of the protective sleeve 7 for adjustment. The protective sleeve 7 is made of sponge material and has a soft texture. Through the above structure, the hand skin can be effectively protected, reducing the possibility of skin damage and effectively improving the comfort of use.

[0032] During operation, the pipeline to be tested is placed on top of the load-bearing plate 12. Rotating the handle 16 causes the screw 15 to rotate inside the connecting plate 14. As the screw 15 rotates, it moves vertically, thus moving the V-shaped fixing plate 18. The V-shaped fixing plate 18 cooperates with the load-bearing plate 12 to fix the pipeline. This structure effectively fixes the pipeline, reducing slippage during testing and improving the accuracy of the test results. It also adapts to pipelines of different sizes, reducing the need for frequent tooling changes and effectively improving tooling flexibility. Activating the electric actuator 2 drives the support plate 21 to move vertically. This allows the industrial camera 25 to illuminate the pipeline under test. Then, the motor 22 is activated, driving the lead screw 23 to rotate inside the support plate 21. Simultaneously, the rotation of the lead screw 23 moves the connecting block 24, which in turn moves the industrial camera 25. This structure allows for rapid illumination of various parts of the pipeline, significantly improving inspection efficiency, reducing manual inspection, lowering the workload of workers, and enhancing the inspection effect. When the industrial camera 25 is inspecting the pipeline, it may encounter situations where dim lighting leads to unclear detection. In such cases, the camera can be bent by holding the metal rod 31 to adjust the illumination position of the supplementary light 32. This structure effectively... The improved lighting conditions of the working environment ensure uniform illumination of all parts of the pipeline surface, effectively enhancing the visual inspection effect. The 32° adjustable angle greatly improves the flexibility of the tooling. When the fixed block 17 moves, the connecting rod 41 slides inside the rectangular slot 4. This structure effectively guides the fixed block 17, reducing wobbling during movement and improving the overall stability of the tooling. When the connecting block 24 moves, the slider 51 on the side wall of the connecting block 24 slides along the guide rod 5. This structure effectively guides the connecting block 24, maintaining stability during movement and thus improving the stability of the industrial camera 25. Qualitative analysis improves the effectiveness of visual inspection. A first rubber pad 6 and a second rubber pad 61 are respectively installed on the load-bearing plate 12 and the V-shaped fixing plate 18. This structure effectively reduces wear on the pipeline caused by the load-bearing plate 12 and the V-shaped fixing plate 18, while also increasing friction with the pipeline, resulting in better pipeline fixation. When bending the metal rod 31 to adjust the illumination angle of the supplementary light 32, the metal rod 31 may cause hand injury. A protective sleeve 7 is installed on the metal rod 31, allowing adjustment by holding it. The protective sleeve 7 is made of soft sponge material. This structure effectively protects the hand skin, reducing skin damage and significantly improving user comfort.
