[0017] Beneficial effects of the present invention: 1. Compared with the existing heavy-duty truck hub bearing rotary press, which usually adopts mechanical positioning, this positioning method has a good positioning effect for bearings and hubs with regular shapes and uniform sizes. However, when facing heavy-duty truck hub bearings with complex shapes and diverse sizes, the accuracy and adaptability of mechanical positioning will be significantly reduced, which may easily lead to offset or dislocation during the press-fitting process, affecting the press-fitting quality and even causing damage to the bearing or hub. This solution introduces a multi-dimensional sensing positioning module, which integrates multiple positioning technologies such as laser scanning, pressure sensing and visual guidance. The laser scanning unit can generate shaft The three-dimensional contour data of the bearing and hub are used to achieve sub-millimeter spatial positioning; the pressure sensing array can detect the pressure distribution on the contact surface and identify the initial fit state; the visual guidance unit can identify the bearing code and hub feature mark to generate a precise assembly path. Through the integration of multiple positioning technologies, high-precision and highly adaptable positioning of bearings and hubs with complex shapes and various sizes can be achieved. Through high-precision positioning and force-displacement closed-loop control, the press-fitting quality can be significantly improved, and damage to bearings or hubs caused by inaccurate positioning or improper press-fitting force control can be reduced. At the same time, the press-fitting efficiency is improved and the production cost is reduced. 2. Compared with the existing rotary press for heavy truck wheel hub bearings, during the press process, there is often a lack of real-time and precise control of key parameters such as press force and press displacement. The control of press force usually relies on the pressure setting of the hydraulic system, which makes it difficult to achieve closed-loop control of press force and displacement, easily leading to excessive or insufficient press force, affecting the press quality and the service life of the bearing. At the same time, the control of press displacement is relatively rough, making it difficult to ensure the accuracy of press depth, affecting the assembly accuracy of the bearing. This solution sets an adaptive press module. The floating pressure head unit can automatically compensate for the parallelism deviation of the bearing end face to ensure uniform application of press force; the displacement monitoring unit can measure the press depth and coaxiality in real time to achieve precise control of press displacement; the vibration suppression unit can attenuate the structural vibration generated by the press impact to ensure the stability of the press process. Through force-displacement closed-loop control, the equipment can monitor its own status in real time, predict potential faults, and achieve predictive maintenance, thereby significantly improving the reliability and maintainability of the equipment, reducing unexpected downtime, and ensuring production continuity. 3. Compared with the existing heavy-duty truck hub bearing rotary press, which is usually designed for bearings and hubs of specific specifications, it lacks the ability to adapt to workpieces of different specifications. When it is necessary to press-fit bearings or hubs of different specifications, it is often necessary to replace the fixture or adjust the equipment parameters, which is complicated to operate and inefficient. In addition, the intelligence level of the existing press is relatively low, lacking intelligent functions such as fault self-diagnosis and remote monitoring, which is not conducive to equipment maintenance and management. This solution significantly enhances the adaptability and intelligence of the equipment through modular design and intelligent control technology. The multimodal drive module can provide a composite drive mode that adapts to different working conditions to meet the press-fitting requirements of bearings and hubs of different specifications; the intelligent diagnosis module can realize predictive maintenance and root cause analysis of faults, improving the reliability and maintenance efficiency of the equipment; the human-machine collaboration module can enhance the operation interaction and remote control capabilities, making it easier for operators to monitor and operate the equipment; the environmental adaptation module can ensure the stability of the equipment under harsh working conditions and expand the application scope of the equipment. Through these improvements, the present invention realizes rapid adaptation and intelligent management of workpieces of different specifications, effectively solving the problems of low adaptability and intelligence of traditional presses.
