Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts testing, specifically to a testing fixture for automotive crossbeams. Background Technology

[0002] As a key load-bearing component of the vehicle chassis, the crossbeam runs horizontally across the bottom of the vehicle body, much like the spine of the human body, playing an indispensable role in vehicle operation. Thanks to its ingenious mechanical design, it not only provides a stable "home" for core components such as the engine and transmission, but also enhances the overall rigidity and strength of the vehicle body, effectively resisting the impact of road undulations and the inertial forces during rapid acceleration and braking. Therefore, automotive crossbeam testing and inspection fixtures become the "gatekeepers" of quality, ensuring that each crossbeam performs at its optimal state through precise simulation testing and data monitoring, safeguarding the safety and stability of the vehicle.

[0003] In the prior art, a testing fixture for automotive crossbeams, authorized by publication number CN217637919U, includes a base plate. A circular plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the slider. The upper part of the outer wall of the screw is rotatably connected to the middle of the top plate via a bearing. A sleeve is threadedly connected to the lower part of the outer wall of the screw. A sliding sleeve is fixedly connected to the top of the sleeve. A sliding rod is slidably engaged with the inner wall of the sliding sleeve. The top of the sliding rod is fixedly connected to the bottom of the top plate. A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the front of the sleeve. A connecting piece is installed on the outer wall of the output end of the hydraulic cylinder. The top of the connecting piece is in contact with the bottom of the circular plate. This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts testing technology. Through the cooperation between the circular plate, the screw, and the hydraulic cylinder, the magnitude of the impact force is changed. This solves the problem that existing devices are inconvenient to change the magnitude of the impact force during operation, and cannot guarantee the same impact force for each continuous test, thus reducing the likelihood of deviation in the test results.

[0004] However, the elasticity of springs weakens after prolonged use. Even with the same compression, the impact force cannot be guaranteed to be the same each time, which can easily cause deviations in the test results. Different cars have different crossbeam heights, and the height of the test piece and the circular plate will change after the test is completed. The connecting parts are difficult to move under the circular plate and require manual adjustment. The operation is complicated and inconvenient for personnel to use. Utility Model Content

They are not intended to limit the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0023] Example 1

[0024] Please see Figures 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution: a testing and inspection fixture for automotive crossbeams, comprising: a base 1, a top plate 2 mounted on the base 1, a vertical cylinder 7 mounted on the top plate 2, a cover plate 8 mounted on the vertical cylinder 7, a spring 10, a mounting plate 9, and a circular plate 11 disposed inside the vertical cylinder 7, the circular plate 11 being connected to a connecting rod 12, one end of the connecting rod 12 being inserted into a connecting hole 13; a movable plate 14, a lower pressure sensor body 22 mounted on the movable plate 14, a lower contact plate 21 mounted on the lower pressure sensor body 22, an upper contact plate 20 mounted above the lower contact plate 21, the upper contact plate 20 being connected to an upper pressure sensor body 19, the upper pressure sensor body 19 being connected to a square plate 18, one end of the square plate 18 being inserted into a square groove 24, the square plate 18 being connected to a slider 17, and the slider 17 being inserted into a sliding groove 16;

[0026] In practical use, when the connector 6 presses against the upper contact plate 20, it can move the square plate 18 and the moving plate 14 upwards, causing the connecting rod 12 to move along the connecting hole 13, thus compressing the spring 10. This, combined with the pressure sensor body 19, detects the generated pressure. The upper pressure sensor body 19 can effectively improve the problem of impact force changes caused by the weakening of the spring 10's elasticity. The upper pressure sensor body 19 can provide feedback data to help the control system automatically control the extension and retraction of the first electric push rod 3 to adjust the compression of the spring 10, ensuring that the impact force is maintained within the set range. This can effectively improve the detection accuracy and the reliability of the device. Activating the second electric push rod 5 pulls the connector 6 to move, causing the connector 6 to disengage from the upper contact plate 20. The spring 10 extends and pushes the lower mounting plate 9 and the round... Plate 11 moves downwards along the vertical cylinder 7, causing connecting rod 12 to move downwards along connecting hole 13. Testing is performed by the impact of the detection piece 15 against the car crossbeam mounted on the base 1. The third electric actuator 23 is activated to pull the upper contact plate 20, causing square plate 18 and slider 17 to slide along the slide groove 16. Square plate 18 slides into the slide groove 16, ensuring that square plate 18 and upper contact plate 20 do not obstruct the downward movement of connecting piece 6. The first electric actuator 3 is activated, causing connecting plate 4, second electric actuator 5, and connecting piece 6 to move downwards, causing connecting piece 6 to press against lower contact plate 21. Pressure is detected by the lower pressure sensor body 22. When the pressure exceeds the threshold, the third electric actuator 23 is activated to push the upper contact plate 20, causing square plate 18 to move along square groove 24, placing it in the correct position. Figure 3 In the state, the first electric push rod 3 is activated to move the connecting piece 6 upward and press the upper contact plate 20 to complete one cycle operation. Even if the connecting piece 6 is at different heights, the device can be adapted and adjusted so that the connecting piece 6 moves to the upper contact plate 20 and pulls the moving plate 14 and the detection piece 15 upward again.
