[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, the rearview mirror base covers, as an important component of interior parts, not only affect the overall appearance quality of the vehicle but also serve to protect the internal structure and enhance the driving experience. As consumers' demands for automotive appearance and assembly precision continue to rise, the dimensional accuracy, surface quality, and assembly consistency of these covers have become key indicators for quality control. Therefore, rigorous testing must be conducted on each batch and even each individual part during the production process to ensure compliance with design specifications.

[0003] Traditional inspection methods often rely on manual visual inspection or handheld measuring tools, which suffer from low efficiency, large subjective errors, and poor repeatability. Especially for cover-type parts that require inspection of both sides, manual flipping is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also prone to scratches or positioning deviations due to improper operation, affecting the accuracy of the inspection results. Therefore, we provide a gauge for left and right rearview mirror base covers to solve the aforementioned problems. Utility Model Content

[0019] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Example

[0020] Please see Figures 1-4 The present invention provides the following technical solution: A tooling for inspecting the base covers of left and right interior rearview mirrors, comprising: Workbench 1; Support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of workbench 1; The testing device 21 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the support rod 2; Two support blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the workbench 1; Rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to two support blocks 3; The first connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating rod 4; Frame 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting block 5; Two clips 7, both clips 7 are located within the frame 6; The double-acting lead screw 12 is rotatably connected to the frame 6, and the two clamping plates 7 are both threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the double-acting lead screw 12 by nuts. The limiting rod is fixedly connected between the inner walls of both sides of the frame 6, and two clips 7 are sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod. Motor 8 is fixedly connected to one side of frame 6, and the output shaft of motor 8 is fixed to bidirectional lead screw 12; The flipping mechanism is located at the top of the worktable 1 and drives the frame 6 to flip, thereby flipping the parts.

[0021] In a specific embodiment of this utility model, the operator places the left and right interior rearview mirror base covers to be inspected between two clips 7 within the frame 6. A tool for inspecting left and right interior rearview mirror base covers is characterized by comprising: Workbench 1; Support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end of workbench 1; The testing device 21 is fixedly connected to the upper inner wall of the support rod 2; Two support blocks 3 are fixedly connected to the upper end of the workbench 1; Rotating rod 4 is rotatably connected to two support blocks 3; The first connecting block 5 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating rod 4; Frame 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the first connecting block 5; Two clips 7, both clips 7 are located within the frame 6; The double-acting lead screw 12 is rotatably connected to the frame 6, and the two clamping plates 7 are both threadedly connected to the circumferential surface of the double-acting lead screw 12 by nuts. The limiting rod is fixedly connected between the inner walls of both sides of the frame 6, and two clips 7 are sleeved on the surface of the limiting rod. Motor 8 is fixedly connected to one side of frame 6, and the output shaft of motor 8 is fixed to bidirectional lead screw 12; A flipping mechanism, located at the top of the worktable 1, drives the frame 6 to flip, thus flipping the part. The bidirectional lead screw 12 rotates. Because the threads of the bidirectional lead screw 12 are designed with opposite directions at both ends, two clamping plates 7 are respectively engaged with the two ends of the lead screw's threads via nuts. The clamping plates 7 are also simultaneously fitted onto the limiting rod, restricting its rotation. Therefore, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 12 drives the two clamping plates 7 to move synchronously towards each other, achieving rapid, centered clamping of the part, or releasing it by moving them away from each other. After clamping, the flipping mechanism is triggered, causing the rotating rod 4 to rotate smoothly within the bearings of the two support blocks 3. Since the first connecting block 5 is fixed to the rotating rod 4, and the frame 6 is fixedly connected to the first connecting block 5, the entire clamping system, along with the part, flips around the axis of the rotating rod 4. When flipped to a set angle, the back of the part is precisely rotated into the detection range of the detection device 21, achieving automatic flipping without manual intervention. After frame 6 is flipped into position, the inspection device 21, fixed to the inner wall of support rod 2, performs high-precision dimensional, contour, or appearance defect inspection on the cover surface and transmits the results to the control system in real time. When a double-sided inspection process is completed, motor 8 reverses, and bidirectional lead screw 12 drives the two clamping plates 7 to retract, releasing the part. The operator takes out the inspected part and puts in a new part, repeating the above steps to achieve continuous, efficient, and traceable automated inspection operations. The bidirectional lead screw 12 enables the two clamping plates 7 to be synchronously aligned and clamped, ensuring stable clamping and rapid response, effectively protecting the surface of the part and improving positioning accuracy. Combined with the motor 8 drive and the flipping mechanism, the automatic clamping, flipping, and double-sided inspection of the part are integrated into one operation. The entire process is highly automated, significantly improving inspection efficiency and consistency, and reducing manual labor intensity and the risk of misoperation.

[0022] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4 The flipping mechanism includes a slide rail 14, a rack 15, a second connecting block 16, a hydraulic rod 17, and a gear 18. The hydraulic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable 1, the second connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the extended end of the hydraulic rod 17, the slide rail 14 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the worktable 1, the rack 15 is slidably connected inside the slide rail 14, one side of the second connecting block 16 is fixed to the rack 15, and the gear 18 is fixedly connected to the circumferential surface of the rotating rod 4. The gear 18 and the rack 15 mesh with each other.

[0023] In this embodiment: when the hydraulic rod 17 is activated and its extended end is pushed, it drives the second connecting block 16 to move axially. Since the second connecting block 16 is fixedly connected to the rack 15, and the rack 15 can only move linearly under the guidance of the slide rail 14, the rack 15 slides horizontally accordingly. The rack 15 meshes with the gear 18 fixed on the rotating rod 4, converting the linear motion into the rotational motion of the gear 18, thereby driving the rotating rod 4 to rotate, realizing the overall flipping of the first connecting block 5 connected to it and the frame 6. The transmission is stable and the response is rapid, enabling a precise 180° flip to ensure that the back of the part is accurately aligned with the testing equipment 21, meeting the requirements of double-sided testing.

[0024] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4 A protective plate 9 is fixedly connected to one side of the workbench 1, and a support column 10 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the workbench 1. The support column 10 is connected to the protective plate 9 by bolts, and the rack 15 and gear 18 are both located inside the protective plate 9.

[0025] In this embodiment, the protective plate 9 encloses and protects the transmission components. The protective plate 9 is securely connected to the workbench 1 via the support column 10 and is fixed with bolts for easy detachment, which facilitates later maintenance and repair. The core transmission components such as the rack 15 and gear 18 are all housed inside the protective plate 9, effectively preventing external dust, oil stains or accidental contact by operators from interfering with or damaging the transmission system. At the same time, it reduces operating noise and improves the cleanliness and safety of the overall equipment.

[0026] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4 A baffle 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the protective plate 9. Two second limiting rods 20 are fixedly connected to one side end of the baffle 11. A circular groove 19 is opened on the circumferential surface of the gear 18, and the second limiting rods 20 are located in the circular groove 19.

[0027] In this embodiment, the axial limiting structure formed by the baffle 11, the second limiting rod 20 and the annular groove 19 has two second limiting rods 20 extending from the baffle 11 and embedded in the annular groove 19 on the edge of the gear 18, forming a radially enclosing and axially constraining guide structure. When the gear 18 rotates with the rotating rod 4, the second limiting rod 20 slides in the annular groove 19, effectively limiting the axial displacement of the gear, ensuring that it always maintains a good meshing state with the rack 15, avoiding tooth disengagement or transmission jamming, and improving the reliability and accuracy of the flipping action.

[0028] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4 Two first limiting rods 13 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of one side of the frame 6. The limiting rods and the bidirectional screw 12 both pass through the two first limiting rods 13.

[0029] In this embodiment: the first limiting rod 13 is used to guide the linear movement of the clamping piece 7. The bidirectional lead screw 12 is threadedly connected to both clamping pieces 7 and passes through both first limiting rods 13. The first limiting rods 13 serve as guides and prevent rotation: on the one hand, they restrict the clamping piece 7 to move only along the axis of the limiting rod, preventing it from rotating with the lead screw; on the other hand, they ensure that the two clamping pieces move synchronously and smoothly towards or away from each other, achieving centering and clamping, and avoiding force deviation on the part. This structure enhances the stability of clamping and the repeatability of positioning accuracy, and protects the surface of the part from damage.

[0030] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4 The upper end of the workbench 1 is provided with a groove 22, and a gasket 23 is provided in the groove 22.

[0031] In this embodiment: the groove 22 is used to embed the gasket 23. The gasket 23 can be made of metal or engineering plastic of different thicknesses. By changing the thickness of the gasket, the installation height of components such as the support block 3 and the hydraulic rod 17 can be finely adjusted, thereby compensating for processing or assembly errors and ensuring the coaxiality and meshing accuracy of transmission components such as the rotating rod 4, the gear 18, and the rack 15.

[0032] Please refer to the details. Figures 1-4 Each of the two support blocks 3 is equipped with a bearing, and the rotating rod 4 is fixed to the bearing to maintain self-lubrication.

[0033] In this embodiment, a precision bearing is installed inside the support block 3. The rotating rod 4 passes through the bearing and is interference-fitted or keyed to it, achieving low-friction, high-precision rotary support. The bearings used are preferably self-lubricating, requiring no frequent lubrication maintenance and maintaining good lubrication during long-term operation, reducing wear and extending equipment lifespan. This design significantly reduces the starting torque and running resistance of the tilting mechanism, making hydraulic drive more labor-saving and faster-responding, while improving the control accuracy of the tilting angle, ensuring accurate and consistent positioning for each tilt.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The motor 8 is started, driving the bidirectional lead screw 12 to rotate. Due to the design features of the bidirectional lead screw 12, the two clamping plates 7 are engaged with the two ends of the lead screw via nuts and reverse threads, achieving synchronous or opposite movements. Thus, when the motor 8 rotates forward, the clamping plates 7 stably clamp the part; when rotating in reverse, the part is released. After clamping is complete, the hydraulic rod 17 is activated. The hydraulic rod pushes its extended end, causing the second connecting block 16 and the rack 15 fixed thereto to slide within the slide rail 14. Since the rack 15 meshes with the gear 18 fixed on the rotating rod 4, the linear motion of the rack is converted into the rotation of the gear, thereby driving the entire frame 6, along with the clamped part, to rotate around the axis of the rotating rod 4. This allows for the automatic rotation of the part from one side to the other. After the frame 6 is rotated into position, the inspection device 21 begins to inspect the cover surface for dimensions, contours, or defects, and feeds the data back to the control system for analysis and recording. If further inspection of the other side is required, step 3 is repeated to rotate the part back to its original position.

[0035] All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased from the market, and can be customized according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods of each part adopt conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding that are mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts and equipment adopt conventional models in the prior art. The control method is automatic control through the control unit. The control circuit of the control unit can be implemented by simple programming by those skilled in the art, which is common knowledge in the field. Therefore, the control method and circuit connection will not be explained in detail in this invention.

The preferred embodiments do not describe all the details in detail, nor do they limit the present utility model to the specific implementation methods described. The present specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments in order to better explain the principle and practical application of the present utility model, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and utilize the present utility model.
