[0034] The present invention will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be noted that, without conflict, the various embodiments or technical features described below can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments.
[0035] Example 1:
[0036] Please refer to Figure 1-6 This solution proposes an auxiliary device for processing automotive parts, including...
[0037] The workbench 14 has guard plates 1 fixed on both sides. One side of the workbench 14 is a slope 13, and the top surface of the workbench 14 is a horizontal plane 36. The guard plates 1 enable the work to be carried out in a relatively enclosed environment, avoiding interference with the outside world.
[0038] The positioning mechanism is used to position the wheel hub 2 placed on the worktable 14; the positioning mechanism can fix the wheel hub 2 at the center, which facilitates the thorough cleaning of the wheel hub.
[0039] A cleaning mechanism is used to clean wheel hub 2; and
[0040] The actuating mechanism is used to rotate the hub 2. Rotating the hub 2 is for cleaning all parts of the hub 2, ensuring a more thorough cleaning.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 2In an optional embodiment of the present invention, the positioning mechanism includes two parallel rotating plates 11, which are rotatably connected to opposite sides of the worktable 14. Each rotating plate 11 has a driving component 16 mounted on its movable end. A push rod is fixed to the output end of each driving component 16, and a positioning sleeve 15 is rotatably sleeved on the outer side of the push rod. The positioning sleeve 15 can be inserted into the central shaft hole of the hub 2, and it fits against the inner wall of the central shaft hole. When the positioning sleeve 15 is inserted into the central hole of the hub, it provides support for the hub 2. Furthermore, the rotational cooperation between the positioning sleeve 15 and the push rod facilitates the rotation of the hub 2, making position adjustment convenient.
[0042] In this design, a power unit for driving the rotating plate 11 to rotate is mounted on the side of the worktable 14. The power unit includes a drive motor 19 mounted on the side of the worktable 14, a gear 18 connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 19, and a connecting shaft 21 connecting the worktable 14 and the rotating plate 11. A gear 22 meshing with the gear 18 is mounted on the connecting shaft 21. This facilitates adjustment of the position of the rotating plate 11, making it suitable for different wheel hubs. The rotating plate 11 consists of two plates connected by an electric telescopic rod, facilitating adjustment of the overall length of the rotating plate 11. One plate is connected to the connecting shaft 21, and the other plate is connected to the drive unit 16.
[0043] Reference Figure 2 In this design, the cleaning mechanism includes a water storage chamber 12 located within the workbench 14, a water pump 23 installed within the water storage chamber 12, a sandwich layer 20 within the rotating plate 11, a hollow connecting shaft 21 with one end connected to the sandwich layer 20 and the other end connected to the outlet of the water pump 23, and several spray heads 17 installed on the side of the rotating plate 11 near the hub 2, with the inlet of each spray head 17 connected to the interior of the sandwich layer 20. This structure facilitates spray cleaning of the hub sandwiched between the two rotating plates 11.
[0044] Reference Figure 1 The workbench 14 also has a storage cavity, and the actuating mechanism is movably installed in the storage cavity. The actuating mechanism includes a lifting plate 10 movably installed in the storage cavity, a column 8 fixed on the bottom surface of the lifting plate 10, and a column 31 and a column 32 installed above the lifting plate 10. The bottom end of the column 8 is longitudinally slidably connected to the inner wall of the storage cavity, and the column 32 can contact the wheel surface of the hub so as to drive the hub 2 to rotate under the action of friction. The lifting plate 10 is also equipped with a power motor that drives the column 32 to rotate.
[0045] The actuating mechanism also includes a lifting unit that drives the lifting plate 10 to rise and fall. The lifting unit includes a pressing surface 7 located at the bottom of the lifting plate 10, a horizontal push rod 5 horizontally slidably installed in the storage cavity, and a guide frame 6 that slides with the horizontal push rod 5 fixed in the storage cavity. One end of the horizontal push rod 5 is equipped with a ball bearing that can abut against the pressing surface 7. A rack is installed along the length of the horizontal push rod on its outer side. A rotating shaft is also installed in the storage cavity. A drive gear 4 that meshes with the rack is installed on the outer side of the rotating shaft, and a baffle 3 is fixed on the outer side of the rotating shaft. The baffle 3 can remain vertical, and a guide frame 6 is installed on the outer side of the worktable 14. A lifting motor drives the rotating shaft to rotate. When the hub 2 is not installed in place, the baffle 3 remains vertical and a pressure sensor is installed on its surface. When the hub 2 moves to contact the pressure sensor, the pressure sensor transmits a signal to the external motor controller. The motor controller controls the lifting motor to work, driving the rotating shaft to rotate. This causes the drive gear and rack to mesh and drive the transverse push rod 5 to move to one side. Through the cooperation of the other inclined pressing surfaces, the lifting plate 10 can be pushed up, so that the column 2 contacts the surface of the hub 2, which facilitates the subsequent turning of the hub 2 to make the hub rotate.
[0046] It should be noted that two through holes communicating with the storage cavity are provided on the top surface of the workbench 14. The two through holes are used for the passage of column 1 31 and column 2 32.
[0047] In this design, an annular groove 35 is formed on the second column 32. The width of the annular groove 35 is greater than the width of the hub 2, and an adhesive layer 33 is wrapped around the outside of the annular groove 35 to increase the friction between it and the hub 2. This allows the hub 2 to rotate through friction when the second column rotates, facilitating the cleaning of its movement. Furthermore, the height of the second column is greater than that of the first column, and there is still a distance between the first column and the hub 2 when the second column contacts the surface of the hub 2.
[0048] To facilitate cleaning of the wheel hub 2 from the outside, an annular groove 35 is also provided on the column 31, and the inside of the column 31 is hollow. Several cleaning nozzles 34 are installed on the surface of the annular groove 35. The liquid inlet end of the cleaning nozzle 34 is connected to the hollow inside of the column 31, and the hollow inside of the column 31 is connected to an external water supply device.
[0049] To ensure rapid installation of the wheel hub and maintain its stable position, symmetrically movable limiting platforms 37 are provided on both sides of the horizontal plane 36 of the workbench 14. The wheel hub is placed between the two limiting platforms 37. An installation cavity 40 is provided in the workbench 14, and a bidirectional push rod 41 is provided in the installation cavity 40. The two output ends of the bidirectional push rod 41 are connected to the two limiting platforms 37 through connecting rods 38, respectively, to adjust the distance between the two limiting platforms 37.
[0050] In this design, at least one row of spray heads 17 is distributed along the length of the rotating plate 11. The two ends of the rotating plate have adjustable spray heads 1702 that can adjust the spray direction, while the rest are fixed spray heads 1701. The rotating plate 11 also has a corresponding adjustment mechanism for driving the adjustable spray heads 1702. The adjustable spray head 1702 can adjust its spray direction, allowing it to spray the areas of the wheel hub 2 that require cleaning, making it convenient to use and ensuring more thorough cleaning.
[0051] Reference Figure 6 The adjustable nozzle 1702 includes a nozzle 24 and a connecting ball 25. The nozzle 24 has a conical cylindrical structure. The connecting ball is rotatably mounted on the rotating plate 11. The connecting ball 25 has an inlet hole and an outlet hole. The inlet hole is connected to the interior of the interlayer 20, and the outlet hole is connected to the nozzle 24.
[0052] The adjustment mechanism includes an adjustment ball 26 and an adjustment ball 29, with the adjustment ball 26 rotating along the meridian direction of the connecting ball 25 and the adjustment ball 29 rotating along the parallel direction of the connecting ball 25.
[0053] Specifically, one side of the adjusting ball 29 is connected to the rotating shaft 30, and the other end of the rotating shaft 30 is connected to the rotating plate 11. The rotating plate 11 is equipped with a motor 2 that drives the rotating shaft 30 to rotate.
[0054] One side of the adjusting ball 26 is connected to a rotating shaft 27, and one end of the rotating shaft 27 is fixed with a mounting bracket 28. The mounting bracket 28 is connected to the rotating plate 11, and a motor that drives the adjusting ball 26 to rotate is mounted on the mounting bracket 28.
[0055] The aforementioned adjusting ball 1 26 and adjusting ball 2 29 allow the corresponding adjustable nozzle 1702 to adjust its angle in multiple directions, resulting in a larger spray range and further improving the spraying effect.
[0056] The above embodiments are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention. Any non-substantial changes and substitutions made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention shall fall within the scope of protection claimed by the present invention.
