Description

  The present invention relates to an automobile damage measuring instrument capable of measuring the magnitude of damage and the depth of a dent received by an automobile body.

  If the vehicle body is damaged, such as a scratch or a dent, due to an accident or a driving error, the part (part) may be replaced or repaired depending on the size (range) or depth of the damage. Yes. That is, in general, when the depth of damage exceeds 20 mm, the range of damage is wide and the probability of secondary deformation is high, so that the part is replaced without repair, If the depth is within 20 mm, for example, various operations such as putty work, putty sharpening work, painting work, and polishing work were performed, and the parts were repaired without replacement.

  As described above, it is decided whether to replace or repair the parts based on the damage depth of 20mm that the car body has received. However, parts replacement is more expensive and time consuming than repair. As a result, the parties expect repairs by repairs. However, this decision has been determined exclusively by assessments (views) and estimates issued by the metal coating and car body maintenance factories. There was no room to insert.

  On the other hand, it was also done to measure the extent and depth of damage by attaching a measurement gauge to the damaged car body part using a suction cup, but the conventional measurement gauge is large and handling operation is also done Since it is cumbersome, there is a problem that cannot be used easily, and there is also a problem that cannot be used when the damage is directly assessed at the accident site or on the road.

  Therefore, the technical problem of the present invention is devised so that anyone can easily and accurately measure the range and depth of damage to the vehicle body using a measuring instrument having a very simple structure. It is to provide an automobile damage measuring instrument.

(4) Further, the automobile damage measuring instrument according to claim 4 of the present invention is characterized in that magnets for reinforcing an attractive force by magnetic force are attached to at least four corners of an attractive plate made of magnet rubber.

  According to the automobile damage measuring instrument according to claim 1 described in the above (1), if the magnet rubber adsorption plate is adsorbed so as to cover the damaged vehicle body part, it is made of a transparent synthetic resin plate. The presence of damage can be visually confirmed from the outside through the measurement plate, and the magnitude of the damage can be confirmed according to the measurement gauge displayed on the measurement plate. If the tip is pressed against the bottom part of the damaged part, the depth of the damaged part can be confirmed from the insertion depth.

  According to the vehicle damage measuring instrument according to claim 2 described in (2) above, the magnitude and range of damage can be visually confirmed by the gauge circle line displayed concentrically on the measurement plate. Measure the depth of damage on each circle line by inserting the measuring protrusions from the small measurement holes provided on each circle line, and simultaneously measure and visually check the magnitude and depth of the damage Make it possible.

  According to the automobile damage measuring instrument according to claim 3 described in (3) above, the measuring protrusion is inserted into the measuring small hole until the tip part hits the inner bottom part of the damaged part, and at that time, When the partition line is visible on the measurement board, the depth of damage can be within 20 mm as described above, and when it becomes invisible, the depth can be 20 mm or more, and the depth of damage is 20 mm or more. It is possible to easily and accurately determine whether it is within, that is, whether a part is replaced or a part is repaired.

  According to the automobile damage measuring instrument according to claim 4 described in (4) above, the reinforcing magnet is used to adsorb the adsorption plate to a portion that cannot be adsorbed only by the adsorption force of the magnet rubber adsorption plate. It can be done reliably, and makes it possible to accurately measure the magnitude and depth of damage at any part of the car body.

  As described above, according to the automobile damage measuring instrument of the present invention, the adsorption plate is adsorbed to the damaged body part by its own magnetic force and measured from the measurement small hole provided in the transparent measurement plate. By simply inserting the projecting body, the size and depth of the damage can be measured, so anyone can easily and accurately measure damage anywhere and replace or repair the part. Can be confirmed. In addition, since service personnel and drivers themselves can quickly determine parts replacement or repairs at the place of departure or at the accident site, troubles due to differences in opinions between drivers and metal coating factories are also eliminated. can do.
