Description

[Detailed description of the invention] The present invention relates to a device for inspecting the finished dimensions of a seat in a motor vehicle, and in particular, the invention relates to a device for inspecting the finished dimensions of a seat in a motor vehicle, and in particular, the hip point inspection method is performed by measuring the position of the hip point of a mannequin seated on the seat. Concerning measuring equipment.

One measure of evaluating the performance of a car, particularly its seats, is to seat a mannequin having two hip points on the seat and measure the relative position of its hip points with respect to the car body.

Conventionally, such hip point measurement involves placing the car whose hip point is to be measured on a flat surface plate, and measuring several positions on the body and the position of the hip point using the surface of the surface plate as a reference. This is done by determining the relative positional relationship between each of these positions.

However, measuring the hip point using the conventional method requires an expensive surface plate and a fairly complicated measuring device, and also requires the use of two skilled measuring tools at the same time, making the measurement costly. .

The present invention addresses the above-mentioned problems in measuring the hip point, eliminates the need for a surface plate on which to place the vehicle, and
- It is an object of the present invention to provide a hip point measuring device with a simple configuration, which can easily measure the hip point using a human measuring tool without requiring much skill.

This purpose, according to the present invention, includes a round bar, a lower part of which sits on a rocker panel of an automobile body, an upper part of which supports both ends of the round bar, and selectively supports the round bar. A pair of strut devices 1 are provided with tightening means for fixing the tightening, and are mounted so as to be able to slide along the round bar and to be rotatable around the round bar so as to selectively fix the round bar. A scale holder was provided with a tightening means for selectively fixing it to the round bar by tightening the scale, and one end was supported by the scale holder.

a first scale; a scorer slidably attached to the first scale and slidably holding the second scale at right angles to the first scale; and a spirit level for detecting the horizontality of the first scale. It is distantly related to a hip point measuring device characterized in that the second scale has a hip point abutting portion that abuts the hip point of the mannequin at one end of the second scale.

According to the hip point measuring device having such a configuration, there is no need to place the car on a surface plate when measuring the hip point, but simply move the car arbitrarily so that the floor surface of the body is in a predetermined horizontal state. Set the above-mentioned pair of support devices on the rocker panel of the body, stretch the round rod between the pair of support devices, carry the scale holder in the middle of the round rod, and set the scale holder on the middle part of the round rod. The first ends of the first and second scales assembled at right angles to each other are attached to the scale holder, and the hip point contact portion provided at the end of the second scale is seated on the seat. The scale holder is appropriately slid onto the round bar so that it almost touches the hip point white of the mannequin, and the second and second scales and the scale wheel holder are roughly set. First, the round bar is fastened to the support device. Next, the preparation for measuring the position of the hip point is completed by a simple operation of finally positioning the scale holder on the round bar while watching the level and tightening it to the round bar. If the scale is read appropriately, the position of the hip point relative to the car body can be determined by taking into account the set position of the support support device relative to the car body and the height of the support support.

According to visitor Iie, in particular, since the scale holder that carries the scale is supported by a pair of support devices via a round bar, it is easy to move the scale holder to any position along the round bar. The scale holder can be freely rotated to any position around the round bar, and the round bar can be freely moved in the axial direction relative to the support device. The work of setting the two scales at various relative positions with respect to the automobile body is extremely easy.

In addition, the first and second scales, which are arranged at right angles to each other, are assembled with a simple structure that allows them to be easily installed or removed by simply inserting and removing the scales, so the measuring device can be disassembled when not in use. It is very easy to assemble it compactly and quickly assemble it into its working condition prior to use.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 of the accompanying drawings is a perspective view showing one embodiment of the hip point measuring device according to the present invention.

In this figure, only one of the pair of strut devices is shown, and the other strut device is omitted.

In the figure, reference numeral 1 denotes a bar made of one round rod, and in this embodiment, it is configured as a bar with a circular cross section.

Reference numeral 2 denotes a pair of strut devices including a lower member 3 and an upper member 4 that are slidably engaged with each other.

The lower end of the lower member 3 consists of a base 5 that seats on the rocker panel of the automobile body, and a combination of butterfly bolts 6 and disc ends 7 for fastening the base to the side flange of the rocker panel. Equipped with a clamping device.

A head portion 8 for supporting the bar 1 is attached to the upper member 4 by means of bolt and nut devices 9.

The head part 8 is separated from a lower head part 10 and an upper head part 11, which are fastened together by butterfly bolts 12, and a groove 1 for passing the bar 1 between them.
3 is formed.

The sliding engagement between the lower member 3 and the upper member 4 is achieved by a butterfly bolt 15 that engages in an elongated hole 14 formed in the upper member 4.

16 is a pin for positioning the sliding connection between the lower member and the upper member in a predetermined position.

The upper part 4 further includes a block 1 with grooves 17 and 18.
9 is fastened by a butterfly bolt 20, and rods 21 and 22 are fitted in the grooves 17 and 18, respectively, so as to be slidable along the axial direction thereof.

After adjustment, the axial movement positions of these rods are fixed by tightening butterfly bolts 20.

A scale holder 23 is mounted in the middle part of the bar 1 supported by the above-mentioned strut devices at both ends through its hole 24, and is movable along the bar 1 in its axial direction. It is designed to be able to rotate around the axis of the bar 1.

The axial movement and rotation of the scale holder 23 with respect to the bar 1 is prevented by tightening the butterfly port 25.

The scale holder 23 is provided with two grooves 26 and 27, into which presser covers 28 and 29 are tightened by solvent bolts 30 and 31, respectively.

In the illustrated state, one end of the scale 32 is attached to the groove 26, and is fixed in that position by tightening the solvent bolt 30.

33 is a level for detecting the levelness of the scale holder 23 or the scale 32 attached thereto.

A scale 34 is slidably engaged with the scale 32 in one groove 35 thereof, and another scale 37 is slidably held in the other groove 36 of the scale 32.

In this case, the scorer 34 is arranged so that the scales 32 and 37 are arranged at right angles to each other.

A hip point abutting portion 38 is provided at the lower end of the scale 37 and comes into contact with a hip point provided on a mannequin, which will be described later.

FIG. 2 is a side view showing a manner in which the hip point measuring device shown in FIG. 1 is used to measure the hip point of a mannequin seated on a seat.

In the figure, 39 is a rocker panel, 40 is a seat, 4
1 is the seat back.

Further, 42 and 43 are a front pillar and a center pillar, respectively.

On the seat is a mannequin 45 with a hip point 44.
is seated.

In the measurement, first, the pair of strut devices 2 are seated at predetermined positions in the longitudinal direction on the rocker panel at both side edges of the body.

In this case, the appropriate target position on the rocker panel, for example, the position of the screw for tightening the scuff plate, is used as a reference, and the position where the strut device is to be aligned is set as a reference point.
A mark such as 6 may be provided, and the support device may be positioned at a position where this mark is aligned with the corresponding screw.

Once the position of the strut device is determined, it is preferable to extend the rods 21 and 22 as shown in the figure and bring their respective ends into contact with the front pillar 42 and center pillar 43 to further stabilize the set position of the strut device.

Once the strut device is thus set, the scale holder 23, scorer 34, and scale 37 are then adjusted appropriately so that the hip point contact portion 38 at the lower end of the scale 37 engages with the hip point 44 of the mannequin.

At this time, it is necessary to loosen the solvent bolt 25 and operate the scale holder 23, scale 34, and scale 37 while referring to the level 33 to adjust the scale holder 23 and scale 32 to be arranged horizontally.

Prior to this, it is necessary to place a suitable level on the rocker panel 39 and adjust the attitude of the automobile body so that the required levelness of the rocker panel is obtained.

Once the hip point measuring device has been set up as described above, read each scale at the intersection of scales 32 and 37 (this will determine the height and height from the surface of the rocker panel to the hip point 44). It is possible to measure the horizontal length between a predetermined standard position in the longitudinal direction of the rocker panel and the hip point 44, and by comparing the standard value and the measured value for these values, it is possible to determine the hip point of the vehicle. Evaluation can be carried out.

Although the present invention has been described above in detail with respect to one embodiment, it will be obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications can be made to this embodiment within the scope of the present invention.
