Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of wheel hub processing, specifically to a positioning fixture and spraying method for wheel hub processing protection. Background Technology
[0002] A wheel rim, also called a wheel hub, rim, wheel, or wheel hub, is a cylindrical metal component mounted on an axle that supports the tire from the inside of the tire. It is used to bear the weight of the vehicle and distribute the pressure to the tire, ensuring the vehicle's stability.
[0003] When surface-treating wheel hubs, there are generally two methods: baking paint and electroplating. In the baking paint process, the wheel hub needs to be sprayed with a special coating using a spray gun. This coating is then baked and cured, making it more durable, wear-resistant, and providing protection and aesthetics. Before spraying, the center hole and threaded holes need to be protected to prevent paint residue from remaining inside the holes and affecting their precision. However, most current spraying equipment requires manual insertion of protective caps into the holes, increasing labor costs and reducing production efficiency. To address these issues, the inventor proposes a positioning fixture and spraying method for wheel hub processing protection. Summary of the Invention

[0052] A spraying method for a positioning fixture used for wheel hub machining protection includes the following steps:
[0053] Step 1: Move the limit ball 103 by rotating the rod. The limit ball 103 positions the wheel hub so that the wheel hub is located at the center of the positioning platform 101. Adjust the position of the wheel hub hole by rotating the rod 509.
[0054] Step 2: The protective plug is moved by rotating plate 304, so that the protective plug 203 is inserted into the hole of the wheel hub to protect the hole of the wheel hub;
[0055] Step 3: Apply spray paint to the outer surface and inner rim of the wheel hub;
[0056] Step 4: Bake the painted wheel hubs.
[0057] Working principle: First, the first motor 303 is turned on, driving the rotating plate 304 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating plate 304 drives the guide column 307 to move, causing the guide column 307 to move along the N-shaped groove inside the mounting plate 301. The movement of the guide column 307 drives the vertical plate 306 to move, which in turn drives the horizontal bar 409 to move. The movement of the horizontal bar 409 drives the mounting plate 401 to move, which in turn drives the connecting column 408 to move. The movement of the mounting plate 401 also drives the mounting rod 406 to move, which in turn drives the mounting column 407 to move. At this time, the mounting column 407... The movement of the connecting post 408 drives the fixed tube 413 to move, which in turn drives the limiting block 414 to move. The movement of the limiting block 414 then drives the protective plug 203 to move, allowing the protective plug 203 to be inserted into the hole of the wheel hub. When the protective plug 203 is inserted into the hole of the wheel hub, the lower surface of the moving tube 410 and the upper surface of the protective plug 203 come into contact. The continued movement of the mounting post 407 and the connecting post 408 drives the limiting block 414 to move, causing the limiting block 414 to continue to move downwards. The end of the limiting block 414 that is close to each other comes into contact with the outer surface of the trapezoidal ring 209, thus clamping the trapezoidal ring 209.
[0058] Secondly, during the movement, the vertical movement of the vertical plate 306 drives the movement of the second gear plate 311. When the second gear plate 311 meshes with the first gear 310, it drives the first gear 310 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 310 drives the transmission rod 309 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating rod 506 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 506 drives the second bevel gear 507 to rotate, which in turn drives the first bevel gear 505 to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear 505 drives the screw 504 to rotate, which in turn drives the slide bar 503 to move. The movement of the slide bar 503 drives the horizontal plate 502 to move, which in turn drives the rotating rod 509 to move. The movement of the rotating rod 509 then drives the connecting rod... The connecting frame 510 moves, which drives the swing bar 511 to swing. The swing bar 511 pushes the moving plate 104 to move. The moving plate 104 drives the moving bar 102 to move. The moving bar 102 drives the limiting ball 103 to move, so that the outer surface of the limiting ball 103 contacts the inner wall of the wheel hub, thereby positioning the wheel hub. The rotating rod 509 moves the vertical column 513 to move. The vertical column 513 moves the fixed plate 514 to move. The fixed plate 514 moves the limiting column 515 and the moving column 516 to move, so that the limiting column 515 is inserted into the hole in the center of the wheel hub. If the moving column 516 does not correspond to the hole in the wheel hub, the moving column 516 moves downward into the fixed plate 514.
[0059] Then, the horizontal movement of the vertical plate 306 drives the movement of the movable seat 305, which in turn drives the movement of the first gear plate 308. When the first gear plate 308 meshes with the second gear 314, it drives the second gear 314 to rotate. The rotation of the second gear 314 drives the vertical rod 313 to rotate, which in turn drives the sleeve 106 to rotate. The rotation of the sleeve 106 drives the rotating rod 509 to rotate, which in turn drives the fixed disk 514 to rotate. The rotation of the fixed disk 514 then drives the movable... When the column 516 moves, the fourth spring 512 deforms. When the column 516 aligns with the hole in the wheel hub, the fifth spring 518 releases the deformation force, pushing the column 516 upward so that it inserts into the hole in the wheel hub. At this time, the fourth spring 512 releases the deformation force, causing the rotating rod 509 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating rod 509 causes the fixed plate 514 to rotate, returning the fixed plate 514 to its original position. This adjusts the position of the wheel hub hole so that the hole in the wheel hub aligns with the protective plug 203.
[0060] The reverse rotation of the last motor 303 drives the rotating plate 304 to reset, which in turn drives the mounting plate 401 to reset. During the reset process, the movement of the vertical plate 306 drives the mounting plate 401 to move, which in turn drives the moving tube 410 to move. At this time, the movement of the moving tube 410 drives the limiting block 414 to move, which in turn drives the trapezoidal ring 209 to move upward, so that the upper surface of the trapezoidal ring 209 contacts the lower surface of the top of the fixed column 208. At this time, the top of the fixed column 208 blocks the trapezoidal ring 209 from moving, so the limiting block 414 moves upward, causing the limiting block 414 and the trapezoidal ring 209 to separate, thus contacting the gripper 203, facilitating the next transport.

Therefore, if these modifications and variations fall within the scope of the claims of this invention and their equivalents, this invention also intends to include these modifications and variations.
