Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model application relates to the field of automotive body technology, specifically a coordinate measuring fixture suitable for automotive front bodies. Background Technology
[0002] The automotive body refers to the rigid structural assembly in a vehicle used to house and protect key components or carry functional modules. It is usually made of metal, composite materials, or engineering plastics. According to its use, it can be divided into powertrain body, chassis body, and functional body. Its core functions include: structural support, sealing and protection, and thermal management. Modern automotive bodies tend to be lightweight and integrated, while meeting stringent durability, safety, and environmental protection standards. They are an important guarantee for the reliability and performance of the entire vehicle.
[0003] When traditional coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) measure car bodies, the variety of car body types and styles makes the disassembly and assembly of corresponding fixtures cumbersome and complex. Often, the CMMs do not provide fixed limits on the car body, which can cause slight displacement of the car body when the measuring end contacts it during measurement. This slight displacement can continue during continuous measurement, thus reducing the accuracy of the CMM's measurement of the car body. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problem that traditional fixed clamps are cumbersome to assemble and disassemble, and are often not used in actual measurements, leading to minor errors in measurement accuracy, this invention provides a coordinate measuring machine fixture suitable for automotive front boxes to solve the aforementioned issues.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) fixture suitable for automotive front housings includes a CMM base, a CMM moving frame mounted on the base, a CMM probe mounted on the moving frame, a spacer plate fixed in the center of the base, a first lead screw rotatably mounted on the spacer plate, a first servo motor fixed on one side of the base, the output end of the first servo motor being fixedly connected to one end of the first lead screw, the threads of the first lead screws on both sides of the spacer plate having opposite directions, two moving blocks threaded onto the first lead screw, a first adjusting outer rod fixed to the top surface of each moving block, a first adjusting inner rod slidably mounted inside the first adjusting outer rod, the first adjusting outer rod moving the first adjusting inner rod via a length adjustment device, a second adjusting outer rod fixed to the end of each first adjusting inner rod away from the first adjusting outer rod, a second adjusting inner rod slidably mounted inside each second adjusting outer rod, each second adjusting outer rod moving the corresponding second adjusting inner rod via a height adjustment device, and a limit plate fixed to the top surface of each second adjusting inner rod.
[0007] Furthermore, the length adjustment device includes a second servo motor, and a second lead screw is fixed to each of the two output ends of the second servo motor. The second lead screw is threadedly connected to the first adjusting inner rod.
[0008] Furthermore, the height adjustment device includes a third servo motor, the output end of which is fixed with a third lead screw, which is threadedly connected to the second adjusting inner rod.
[0009] Furthermore, each of the limiting plates is fixed with protective side plates on both sides away from the partition plate, and each of the second adjusting inner rods is provided with an arc-shaped corner on the side near the partition plate.
[0010] Furthermore, the length of each second lead screw is the same as the length of the first adjusting inner rod, and the thread directions of the two second lead screws are opposite.
[0011] Furthermore, the length of each of the third lead screws is the same as the length of the second inner adjusting rod, and the top surface of the third lead screw is located above the top surface of the second outer adjusting rod.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0013] 1. In this utility model, a first adjusting outer rod is slidably set on the top surface of the base of the coordinate measuring machine, and a first adjusting inner rod is slidably set at both ends inside the first adjusting outer rod. At the same time, a second adjusting outer rod is fixed at one end of the first adjusting inner rod, and the second adjusting inner rod is slidably set inside the second adjusting outer rod. This allows the first adjusting outer rod, the first adjusting inner rod, and the second adjusting inner rod to drive the limiting plate to move, thereby limiting and fixing different car bodies. This solves the problem that the traditional fixing fixture is cumbersome to assemble and disassemble, and is often not used in actual measurement, resulting in slight errors in measurement accuracy.
[0014] 2. In this utility model, a second servo motor is fixed in the middle of the first adjusting outer rod, and two second lead screws are fixed on the output ends of the second servo motor on both sides to drive the first adjusting inner rod to move. At the same time, the threads on the two second lead screws are opposite, so that the second servo motor drives the first adjusting inner rod to move to both sides at the same time. Meanwhile, each second adjusting outer rod is equipped with an independent third servo motor to control the height of the second adjusting inner rod, which solves the problem of the different heights of the four corners of the car body, making it impossible to fix flexibly.

Obviously, the embodiments described below are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0022] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 A coordinate measuring machine (CMM) fixture suitable for automotive front body panels includes a CMM base 1, a CMM moving frame 2 mounted on the CMM base 1, a CMM measuring probe 3 mounted on the CMM moving frame 2, a partition plate 4 fixed in the center of the CMM base 1, a first lead screw 5 rotatably mounted on the partition plate 4, a first servo motor 6 fixed on one side of the CMM base 1, the output end of the first servo motor 6 being fixedly connected to one end of the first lead screw 5, the threads of the first lead screw 5 on both sides of the partition plate 4 having opposite directions, and two moving blocks 7 threadedly connected to the first lead screw 5, each moving block... Each block 7 has a first adjusting outer rod 8 fixed on its top surface. A first adjusting inner rod 11 is slidably arranged inside the first adjusting outer rod 8. The first adjusting outer rod 8 drives the first adjusting inner rod 11 to move through a length adjusting device. A second adjusting outer rod 12 is fixed at the end of each first adjusting inner rod 11 away from the first adjusting outer rod 8. A second adjusting inner rod 15 is slidably arranged inside each second adjusting outer rod 12. Each second adjusting outer rod 12 drives the corresponding second adjusting inner rod 15 to move through a height adjusting device. A limit plate 16 is fixed on the top surface of each second adjusting inner rod 15, so that the limit plate 16 clamps and fixes the car body.
[0023] Specifically, each limiting plate 16 has protective side plates fixed on both sides away from the partition plate 4, and each second adjusting inner rod 15 has an arc-shaped corner on the side near the partition plate 4 to increase the fixing range of the limiting plate 16.
[0024] As an optimization solution, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the length adjustment device includes a second servo motor 9. Both output ends of the second servo motor 9 are fixed with second lead screws 10. The second lead screws 10 are threadedly connected to the first adjusting inner rod 11. The length of each second lead screw 10 is the same as the length of the first adjusting inner rod 11. The thread directions of the two second lead screws 10 are opposite, so that the first adjusting inner rods 11 at both ends move simultaneously.
[0025] Specifically, the height adjustment device includes a third servo motor 13, and a third lead screw 14 is fixed to the output end of the third servo motor 13. The third lead screw 14 is threadedly connected to the second inner adjustment rod 15. The length of each third lead screw 14 is the same as the length of the second inner adjustment rod 15. The top surface of the third lead screw 14 is located above the top surface of the second outer adjustment rod 12 to prevent the second inner adjustment rod 15 from coming out of the second outer adjustment rod 12.
[0026] Working principle: By placing the car body on the top surface of the coordinate measuring machine base 1, the first servo motor 6 is started, causing the first lead screw 5 to rotate. The lead screw 5 then moves two moving blocks 7 simultaneously towards the partition plate 4. The moving blocks 7 then move the first adjusting outer rod 8 to clamp and fix the sides of the car body. Simultaneously, the second servo motor 9 is started, causing the second lead screw 10 to rotate. The second lead screw 10 then moves the first adjusting inner rod 11 inside the first adjusting outer rod 8, causing the first adjusting inner rod 11 to move the second adjusting outer rod 12 to the positions where they mate at the four corners of the car body. At this point, the third servo motor 13 inside each of the second adjusting outer rods 12 is started, causing the third servo motor 13 to rotate the third lead screw 14. The third lead screw 14 then moves the second adjusting inner rod 15, causing the second adjusting inner rod 15 to move and bring the limiting plate 16 into contact with the four corners of the top surface of the car body, thus clamping and fixing the car body.
