Detailed implementation method:

[0024] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention more clearly.

[0025] Example 1:

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, an intelligent assembly device for I-beam wheels includes a flange feeding device 1, a small flange tooling position 2, a large flange tooling position 3, a middle cylinder feeding device 4, a transfer device 5, a pressing device 6, a core tube feeding device 7, a riveting device 8, a platform 9, a wire hole positioning pin 10, a circular opening 11, and a vision recognition device 12. The large flange tooling position 3 and the small flange tooling position 2 are installed on the platform 9.

[0027] like Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, the flange feeding device 1 on one side corresponding to the large flange fixture 3 automatically grabs the large flange 14, and the flange feeding device 1 on the other side corresponding to the small flange fixture 2 automatically grabs the small flange 15, simultaneously conveying flanges to both the large flange fixture 3 and the small flange fixture 2. The flange feeding device 1 on one side corresponding to the large flange fixture 3 identifies the position of the threading hole positioning pin 10 through the vision recognition device 12, rotates the large flange 14 until the threading hole positioning pin 10 aligns with the threading hole on the large flange 14, and then positions and installs the large flange 14. Simultaneously, the flange feeding device 1 on the other side corresponding to the small flange fixture 2 identifies the structural distribution on the small flange fixture 2 through the vision recognition device 12, rotates the small flange 15 until the small flange 15 aligns with the structure of the small flange fixture 2, and then positions and installs the small flange 15.

[0028] After placement, the flange feeding device 1 on one side corresponding to the large flange fixture 3 automatically grabs the small flange 15 again, and the flange feeding device 1 on the other side corresponding to the small flange fixture 2 automatically grabs the large flange 14 again, simultaneously conveying flanges to the large flange fixture 3 and the small flange fixture 2. The flange feeding device 1 on one side corresponding to the large flange fixture 3 identifies the large flange 14 already placed on the large flange fixture 3 through the vision recognition device 12, rotates the grabbed small flange 15 to align with the large flange 14, and positions and places the small flange 15. At the same time, the flange feeding device 1 on the other side corresponding to the small flange fixture 2 identifies the small flange 15 already placed on the small flange fixture 2 through the vision recognition device 12, rotates the grabbed large flange 14 to align the wire hole positioning pin 10 with the wire hole on the large flange 14, and positions and places the large flange 14.

[0029] Large flange 14 and small flange 15 are sequentially installed on large flange fixture 3. Small flange 15 and large flange 14 are sequentially installed on small flange fixture 2.

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, after the large and small flanges are installed, platform 9 rotates 90 degrees to the second direction; in the second direction, the middle cylinder feeding device 4 feeds the middle cylinder and installs it onto the large flange on the small flange fixture 2. Subsequently, the large and small flanges on the large flange fixture 3 are picked up by the transfer device 5 and transferred to the top of the middle cylinder, where they are pressed and assembled by the pressing device 6. Afterward, platform 9 rotates 90 degrees again to the third direction, where the core tube is fed. Figure 4 As shown, the core tube 13 is inserted into the middle cylinder 16 of the I-beam wheel from above by the core tube feeding device 7. The upper end of the core tube 13 is pre-riveted, as shown. Figure 1 As shown, platform 9 then rotates 90 degrees to the fourth direction, where the core tube is riveted by riveting device 8. After riveting, the I-beam wheel is fully installed and the material is picked up and transported out by the feeding conveyor.

[0031] Example 2:

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, there are four sets of large flange tooling positions 3 and small flange tooling positions 2, which are set in four directions of the platform 9. When the platform 9 rotates, the four sets of tooling positions can simultaneously perform different stages of the I-beam assembly.

[0033] The above are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, several improvements can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
