Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing fixtures for automotive parts, and more specifically, to a device for detecting the longitudinal position and surface profile of an automotive crossbeam. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the crossbeam, as a key load-bearing component of the vehicle body structure, directly affects the overall assembly stability, connection strength, and driving safety of the vehicle body in terms of its positional accuracy and surface profile. To ensure that the crossbeam meets design requirements, it is necessary to use specialized inspection fixtures to rigorously inspect its key features, such as hole positions, mounting surfaces, and contour edges, in order to screen out qualified workpieces.
[0003] In the existing technology, the positional accuracy and surface profile accuracy of automobile crossbeams are mostly tested using horizontally set testing fixtures. That is, the reference surface of the testing fixture is parallel to the horizontal plane, and the automobile crossbeam is placed on the fixture in a horizontal position for testing.
[0004] However, automotive crossbeams are typically long, thin-walled structures made of aluminum alloy or high-strength steel, possessing a degree of flexibility. During inspection, when placed horizontally on the inspection fixture, the middle of the crossbeam is prone to downward bending deformation due to its own weight. This deformation is not a manufacturing error of the workpiece itself, but rather an external force-induced deformation under inspection conditions. This directly leads to distortion of the relative positional relationships of holes and mounting surfaces in positional accuracy inspection, and deviations of the contour shape of the reference surface from the actual machining state in surface contour inspection. Ultimately, this results in decreased inspection accuracy and makes it impossible to accurately assess the actual machining quality of the workpiece. Utility Model Content
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is that during the testing process, the middle part of the crossbeam is prone to downward bending deformation due to deflection, which affects the test results. In view of the above-mentioned defects of the prior art, a device for detecting the longitudinal position and surface profile of an automobile crossbeam is provided.
[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is:
[0007] A device for detecting the longitudinal position and surface profile of an automotive crossbeam includes a stabilizer, a reference plate, and detection components. The reference plate is mounted perpendicular to the stabilizer. A linear guide rail is provided on the vertical side wall of the reference plate, which is used to clamp and install the crossbeam to be detected. The inner wall of the linear guide rail corresponds to the side wall of the crossbeam to be detected.

[0032] During the inspection of the automobile crossbeam, the automobile crossbeam is placed vertically by the cooperation of the reference plate 2 and the linear guide rail 4, so that the inspection state conforms to the assembly state of the automobile crossbeam, reducing the deformation of the automobile crossbeam and making the inspection accuracy higher.
[0033] A fixing post 6 is provided on the outer wall of the linear guide rail 4. The fixing post 6 is connected to the side wall of the reference plate 2, and the fixing post 6 forms a detection gap 41 between the back of the linear guide rail 4 and the reference plate 2. A detection groove 42 is opened on the side wall of the linear guide rail 4, and the detection gap 41 communicates with the detection groove 42. This can further increase the detection stability of the vehicle crossbeam to be inspected, and can detect the vehicle crossbeam to be inspected from more directions. The fixing post 6 ensures that the linear guide rail 4 is installed firmly. The detection gap 41 and the detection groove 42 work together to facilitate the detection tool to reach the crossbeam from multiple angles, especially to detect parts that are easily missed by traditional detection, thereby increasing the comprehensiveness and stability of the detection.
[0034] Multiple positioning holes 43 are provided on the side wall of the linear guide rail 4, and positioning pins 44 are inserted into each of the positioning holes 43, extending to abut against the side wall of the crossbeam to be tested.

During operation, the crossbeam is placed into the linear guide rail 4, and the positioning pins 44, under the action of the spring 45, tightly fit against the side wall of the crossbeam, achieving precise positioning of the crossbeam, compensating for positional deviations caused by manufacturing tolerances, and improving the accuracy of the crossbeam position during testing.
[0035] The linear guide rail 4 is equipped with positioning bolts 46, which correspond to the hole positions of the crossbeam to be inspected. When installing the crossbeam, the positioning bolts 46 pass through the holes of the crossbeam, further ensuring the positional accuracy of the crossbeam during the inspection process. This ensures that the inspection results can truly reflect the actual condition of the crossbeam, which is of great significance for the inspection of automotive crossbeams with hole position accuracy requirements.
[0036] Multiple clamps 5 are provided, each positioned at one end of the linear guide rail 4. Mounting blocks 7 are mounted on the side wall of the reference plate 2 near the clamps 5.

The positioning block 8 has a positioning groove that engages the linear guide rail 4 and the crossbeam to be tested. The positioning block 8 assists in the installation and positioning of the crossbeam on the guide rail, further improving the accuracy of the crossbeam installation position, and facilitating replacement and adjustment when testing different types of crossbeams, thus enhancing the versatility of the testing device.
[0040] The implementation principle of the vehicle crossbeam longitudinal position and surface profile detection device according to this application embodiment is as follows: Based on the stabilizer 1 and the reference plate 2, the vehicle crossbeam is vertically placed via the linear guide rail 4 on the reference plate 2, simulating the actual assembly state and reducing deformation caused by improper placement. The linear guide rail 4 is connected to the reference plate 2 through multiple spaced fixing posts 6, ensuring stable installation and forming a detection gap 41 on the back side. Combined with the detection groove 42 and positioning holes 43 on the side wall of the guide rail, this provides space for multi-directional detection. The positioning pin 44, under the action of the return spring 45, tightly abuts against the side wall of the crossbeam, and the positioning bolt 46 passes through the crossbeam holes; both work together to achieve precise positioning of the crossbeam. Multiple clamps 5 fix the crossbeam from both ends of the linear guide rail 4, further ensuring the stability of the crossbeam during the detection process. The detection components 3 distributed around the linear guide rail 4, such as go / no-go gauges 31 and go / no-go blocks 32, can be positioned by the fixing sleeve 33. Using the detection gap 41, detection groove 42 and other channels, the longitudinal position and surface profile of the crossbeam can be fully detected. The triangular support plate 14 on the reference plate 2 and the reference ball 13 on the fixing plate 11 provide a stable reference for the entire device, ultimately achieving high-precision and all-round detection effect.
[0041] The testing device uses a reference plate 2 and a linear guide rail 4 to vertically place the car crossbeam to simulate the assembly state and reduce deformation. Combined with the structure of fixed column 6, positioning pin 44, positioning bolt 46, clamp 5, etc., it achieves stable installation and precise positioning of the crossbeam. It uses the detection gap 41, detection groove 42 and multi-directionally distributed detection parts 3 to perform comprehensive detection. At the same time, the overall stability of the device is ensured by the triangular support plate 14 and the reference ball 13, thereby effectively improving the detection accuracy and comprehensiveness of the longitudinal position and surface profile of the car crossbeam.
