DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0024] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it, but the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0025] Combination Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this embodiment discloses an automatic wheel hub loading device, which realizes automatic loading of the wheel hub without manual auxiliary operation. During the loading process, the wheel hub can be centered so that the wheel hub is in a stable loading position, and then the clamping robot 20 clamps and feeds it, thereby realizing the automatic loading operation of the wheel hub.

[0026] The automatic wheel hub loading device of this embodiment includes a conveyor line body 10 and a clamping robot 20. The conveyor line body 10 is an L-shaped roller conveyor line that can continuously convey the wheel hub, and the clamping robot 20 can clamp the wheel hub to achieve rapid loading of the wheel hub.

[0027] Combination Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the conveyor line body 10 of the present embodiment conveys the wheel hub, and a centering mechanism 11 is provided on the conveyor line body 10. The centering mechanism 11 centers the wheel hub located on the conveyor line body 10. The centering mechanism 11 includes a centering mounting plate 111, a centering cylinder 112 fixed on the centering mounting plate 111, and a centering column 113 for centering and squeezing the wheel hub. The centering columns 113 are in two groups and are respectively located at both ends of the centering mounting plate 111 to extrude and center the wheel hub. The centering cylinder 112 can drive the two groups of centering columns 113 to move toward or in opposite directions to extrude and center the wheel hub. Therefore, the existence of the centering mechanism 11 can center and position the wheel hub, so that the subsequent loading operation can be carried out stably and the loading accuracy of the wheel hub is improved.

[0028] Specifically, in this embodiment, the centering column 113 is installed on the centering mounting plate 111 through a movable block. One movable block is connected to the piston rod of the centering cylinder 112 through a connecting seat 40. The two movable blocks are connected by a connecting rod 50. When the centering cylinder 112 drives one connecting seat 40 to move, the other connecting seat 40 moves synchronously under the action of the connecting rod 50, so that the two connecting seats 40 move toward or in opposite directions to squeeze or release the wheel hub.

[0029] Furthermore, a feeding photoelectric device 70 is provided on the conveying line body 10, and the feeding photoelectric device 70 is located on one side of the centering mechanism 11 to perform feeding detection on the incoming wheel hub. When the feeding photoelectric device 70 detects the entry of the wheel hub, the centering mechanism 11 centers and positions the wheel hub.

[0030] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the clamping robot 20 of this embodiment is located at the end of the conveyor line body 10, and clamps the wheel hub located on the conveyor line body 10. A clamping jaw mechanism 21 is provided at the end of the clamping robot 20. The clamping jaw mechanism 21 includes a clamping mounting plate 211, a fixed clamping jaw 212 fixed at one end of the clamping mounting plate 211, and a movable clamping jaw 213 located at the other end of the clamping mounting plate 211. The movable clamping jaw 213 is close to the fixed clamping jaw 212 to clamp the wheel hub. After the wheel hub is centered and positioned, the clamping jaw mechanism 21 of the clamping robot 20 clamps the wheel hub, and a clamping cylinder 60 is provided on the clamping mounting plate 211. The clamping cylinder 60 drives the movable clamping jaw 213 to change the distance between the movable clamping jaw 213 and the fixed clamping jaw 212, thereby clamping the wheel hub.

[0031] Specifically, the number of the fixed clamping jaws 212 and the movable clamping jaws 213 are both three, and they correspond one to one, so the clamping jaw mechanism 21 can clamp three wheel hubs at the same time, thereby improving the feeding efficiency of the wheel hubs.

[0032] In this embodiment, a height meter 30 is provided at the starting end of the conveyor line body 10, and the height meter 30 measures the height of the wheel hub to determine the height of the wheel hub so that subsequent loading operations can proceed smoothly.

[0033] In actual use of the automatic wheel hub feeding device of this embodiment, the wheel hub is located on the conveyor line body 10 for continuous feeding. When the feeding photoelectric device 70 detects the entry of the wheel hub, the centering mechanism 11 starts to work, and the centering cylinder 112 drives the two groups of centering columns 113 to move toward each other, so as to squeeze and center the wheel hub. After the centering and positioning is completed, the wheel hub is clamped by the clamping claw mechanism 21 of the clamping robot 20, and the clamping mounting plate 211 is provided with a clamping cylinder 60, which drives the movable clamping claw 213 to change the distance between the movable clamping claw 213 and the fixed clamping claw 212, so as to clamp the wheel hub. After clamping, the feeding operation of the wheel hub is completed.

[0034] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for the purpose of clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the invention of the utility model.
