Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of automotive inspection tools, specifically an automatic inspection tool for automotive rear axles. Background Technology

[0002] The rear axle of a car refers to the rear drive shaft component that transmits power to the vehicle. It consists of two half-axles and can implement differential movement between the half-axles. At the same time, it is also a device used to support the wheels and connect the rear wheels. The drive shaft inside the rear axle needs to be inspected before assembly or during maintenance.

[0003] Existing inspection tools for automotive rear axle drive shafts are mostly combinations of support frames and scanners. The support frame supports the drive shaft, and then the scanner scans and inspects the drive shaft. However, the structure of the support frame of existing inspection tools is relatively fixed, making it inconvenient to adjust the support position of the drive shaft, and it is also inconvenient to flexibly rotate the drive shaft while supporting it, which affects the inspection efficiency of the scanner. Therefore, those skilled in the art have proposed an automatic inspection tool for automotive rear axles to solve the problems mentioned in the background. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic inspection tool for automotive rear axles to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] An automatic inspection tool for automotive rear axles includes a workbench. An adjustment frame is mounted at the center of the top of the workbench. A movable groove is provided at the top of the adjustment frame, and a bidirectional threaded rod is rotatably connected within the movable groove. A first driving component is mounted on the outer wall of one end of the adjustment frame, and the output end of the first driving component is connected to one end of the bidirectional threaded rod. Two movable blocks are symmetrically arranged within the movable groove, and the two movable blocks are symmetrically threaded onto the bidirectional threaded rod. A support rod is mounted at the top of each movable block, and the top of the support rod is connected to the side outer wall of a support plate. A rotating roller is provided at the center of the bottom of the support plate, and support rollers are provided on both sides of the bottom of the support plate. Vertical plates are connected to the top of both ends of the adjustment frame, and a polygonal rotating rod is rotatably connected between the tops of the two vertical plates. The rotating roller and the polygonal rotating rod are interlocked. A second driving component is mounted on the outer wall of one of the vertical plates, and the output end of the second driving component is connected to one end of the polygonal rotating rod. A track bracket is mounted at one end of the workbench, and a scanner is mounted on the track bracket.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the bearing plate is in the shape of a semi-cylindrical tube, a first groove is provided at the center of the bottom of the bearing plate, and second grooves are provided on both sides of the bottom of the bearing plate. The support roller is rotatably connected to the second groove through a roller shaft. The upper part of the rotating roller is placed in the first groove, and the middle and lower parts of the rotating roller are placed outside the bearing plate.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this invention: a polygonal groove is provided on the rotating roller along its central axis, and the shape and size of the polygonal groove correspond to the shape and size of the polygonal rotating rod.

[0009] As a further improvement of this utility model: both the support roller and the rotating roller are made of rubber, and the surface of the rotating roller is provided with an anti-slip texture structure.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: an electric slide rail is horizontally mounted on the top of the track bracket, the electric slide rail is located directly below the polygonal rotating rod, an electric slider is mounted on the electric slide rail, and a mounting frame is connected to the bottom of the electric slider. The scanner is detachably mounted in the mounting frame.

[0011] This utility model has the following advantages: The inspection tool adjusts the distance between the two support plates through the cooperation of a bidirectional threaded rod, a first driving component, and a movable block, so that the support plates can support different positions of the rear axle drive shaft. This makes it convenient to find a suitable support point for different rear axle drive shafts for easy flipping. The movement of the support plates causes the rotating rollers to slide on the polygonal rotating rod. Through the cooperation of the second driving component and the polygonal rotating rod, the rotating rollers on the two support plates can be driven to rotate synchronously, thereby driving the rear axle drive shaft to rotate. This facilitates scanning and self-inspection of the rear axle drive shaft. The position of the scanner can be flexibly adjusted through the track bracket to achieve automatic inspection. The operation is convenient and quick. Attached Figure Description

The output end of the second driving member 208 is connected to one end of the polygonal rotating rod 207. A track bracket 3 is installed at one end of the worktable 1. A scanner 4 is installed on the track bracket 3.

[0023] Please see Figures 2 to 4 The bearing plate 5 is semi-cylindrical. A first groove 505 is provided at the center of the bottom of the bearing plate 5, and second grooves 506 are provided on both sides of the bottom of the bearing plate 5. The support roller 502 is rotatably connected to the second groove 506 through the roller shaft 504.

[0026] Working principle: The support point is selected according to the shape and size of the rear axle drive shaft. Generally, a thinner cylindrical part is selected as the support point. The first driving component 204 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 202 to rotate, which in turn drives the movable block 203 to move, thereby adjusting the position of the two bearing plates 5. The rear axle drive shaft is placed on the bearing plate 5 and supported by the rotating roller 501 and the support roller 502. The position of the electric slider 302 is adjusted by the electric slide rail 301, which in turn adjusts the position of the scanner 4 to scan and inspect the rear axle drive shaft. The second driving component 208 drives the polygonal rotating rod 207 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating roller 501 to rotate, and then drives the rear axle drive shaft to rotate through friction, thereby flipping the rear axle drive shaft so that the scanner 4 can continue to inspect.
