Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of flywheel detection and drive feeding technology, and more specifically, to a steering drive feeding mechanism for flywheel assembly line processing. Background Technology

[0002] A flywheel (or wind turbine) is an important mechanical transmission component widely used in aviation, aerospace, automotive, and construction machinery industries. A flywheel is a heavy-duty disc attached to the end of a rotating shaft, helping to smooth the power pulses of an engine and store energy through rotational momentum.

[0003] The manufacturing process of a flywheel generally includes steps such as cutting, stamping, and grinding. Among them, stamping involves placing the cut plate-shaped cast iron material on a stamping machine. Through the processing of the stamping machine, the plate-shaped cast iron material is processed into multiple discs, which is the initial shape of the flywheel.

[0004] Currently, in existing technical solutions, flywheels are usually mass-produced by stamping. However, the following problems exist in the flywheel production process: Since the flywheel itself is made of cast iron material, it has a certain weight. After the flywheel is stamped, the flywheel discs are stacked together to be transferred to the next processing point. However, for the flywheels placed at the bottom, the excessive number of flywheels above may cause the flywheels placed at the bottom to be subjected to excessive pressure, resulting in the edges being squeezed into indentations and deformation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide a steering drive feeding mechanism for flywheel assembly line processing, which aims to solve the above-mentioned technical problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution, including:

[0007] First and second conveyor belts used for flywheel machining transmission;

[0008] A feeding mechanism is installed on the first conveyor belt and is used to assist the flywheel that has completed stamping in batch feeding.

[0009] A steering drive mechanism is installed on the first conveyor belt. After the detection mechanism completes the detection of the flywheel, the steering drive mechanism is used to drive the flywheel on the detection mechanism to be conveyed to the first conveyor belt and the second conveyor belt respectively.

[0010] The detection mechanism is installed on the first conveyor belt. After the feeding mechanism conveys the flywheel to the detection mechanism, the detection mechanism is used to detect the flywheel edge dent caused by bumps and squeezing during transportation.

[0011] As a further aspect of the present invention: the feeding mechanism includes feeding components, which are spaced apart on the first conveyor belt. The feeding components include feeding tracks, track plates, spatial grooves, electric rods, and feeding plates. The feeding tracks are spaced apart on the first conveyor belt, and the track plates are fixedly connected to the feeding tracks. The track plates and feeding tracks cooperate to place the flywheel to be tested on the track plates, and the flywheel slides on the track plates by the limiting action of the feeding tracks. The spatial grooves are opened on the track plates, and the electric rods are installed in the feeding tracks through the spatial grooves. The feeding plates are fixedly connected to the electric rods. When the electric rods are in a retracted state, the feeding plates are in the spatial grooves. After the flywheels are transported to the feeding plates through the track plates and feeding tracks, the extension of the electric rods moves the flywheels to the detection mechanism, which then clamps the flywheels.

[0012] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the steering drive mechanism is installed at intervals on the first conveyor belt. The steering drive mechanism includes a functional frame, a steering groove, a cylinder, a steering component, and a push plate. The functional frame is installed at intervals on the first transmission belt and the second conveyor belt. The feeding track and the electric rod are both fixedly connected to the functional frame. The steering groove is opened on the functional frame. The cylinder is installed on the functional frame. The steering component is fixed to both ends of the cylinder. The push plate is fixedly connected to the steering component. One end of the cylinder and the push plate is fixedly connected to the functional frame through the steering component.

[0013] As a further aspect of the present invention: the detection mechanism includes a power component, a clamping component, and an adsorption component. The power component is mounted on a functional frame, and both the clamping component and the adsorption component are mounted on the power component. The power component is used to drive the clamping component and the adsorption component to reciprocate simultaneously, so as to assist the clamping component in limiting the flywheel and assist the adsorption component in fixing the flywheel. At the same time, the power component also drives the flywheel fixed on the adsorption component to rotate within the clamping component through its own rotation, thereby enabling the clamping component to detect the wear and impact conditions at the edge of the flywheel.

[0014] As a further aspect of the present invention: the power assembly includes a motor and a lead screw, the motor is fixedly connected to the push plate, the motor slides in the steering groove through the output end, and the lead screw is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor.

[0015] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the clamping assembly includes a first sleeve, a hinge, a clamping plate, a concave part, a roller, a sliding groove, a slider, an elastic element, an auxiliary assembly, and a fixing ring. The first sleeve is threadedly connected to the outside of the lead screw. When the lead screw rotates, the first sleeve reciprocates outside the lead screw. The hinge is fixedly connected to the first sleeve. The clamping plate is mounted on the first sleeve via the hinge. The concave part is mounted on the clamping plate. The roller is rotatably connected inside the concave part. The sliding groove is fixedly connected to the clamping plate. The slider is fixedly connected to the concave part. The slider is slidably connected in the groove. The elastic element is fixedly connected to the concave part and the clamping plate respectively. When the roller contacts the edge of the flywheel and clamps the flywheel, the elastic element pushes the slider to slide in the groove through its own tension, thereby assisting the roller to stably clamp the flywheel. The auxiliary group is installed on the clamping plate and the concave part respectively. The auxiliary group is used to assist the roller to move stably. The fixed ring is movably connected inside the clamping plate. The fixed ring is used to support and stabilize the clamping plate. When the first sleeve moves back and forth on the screw, the clamping plate drives the roller to move around the fixed ring.

[0016] As a further aspect of the present invention: the auxiliary assembly includes a limiting groove and a circular block. The limiting groove is formed on the clamping plate, and the circular block is fixedly connected to the concave part and slidably connected in the limiting groove. When the concave part moves in the sliding groove through the slider, the circular block also slides in the limiting groove, thereby further stabilizing the movement of the roller.

[0017] As a further embodiment of the present invention: the adsorption assembly includes a second sleeve, a space cylinder, a connecting plate, and a suction cup. The second sleeve is threadedly connected to the lead screw, the space cylinder is fixedly connected to the second sleeve, the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the space cylinder, and the suction cup is fixedly connected to the connecting plate. When the motor drives the lead screw to rotate, the second sleeve moves towards the flywheel, and the space cylinder and the connecting plate drive the suction cup to rotate while gradually approaching the flywheel until the suction cup adsorbs and fixes the flywheel.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0019] 1. When the first sleeve moves closer to the motor via the detection mechanism, the clamping plate rotates around the fixed ring, causing the rollers on the three clamping plates to synchronously approach the edge of the flywheel. The rollers then contact the edge of the flywheel. Subsequently, the continuous rotation of the lead screw further clamps the edge of the flywheel with the rollers on the clamping plate. Simultaneously, the second sleeve also moves the space cylinder synchronously closer to the flywheel, causing the suction cup to gradually attract the flywheel from the loading plate. As the lead screw continues to rotate, the flywheel rotates between the three rollers. If there is a notch or depression on the edge of the flywheel, the depression will rotate. When the flywheel reaches the outer edge of one of the three rollers, the roller, through the tension of the elastic element and the assistance of the slider and groove, pushes the roller in the concave part into the groove of the flywheel. Then, due to the restriction of the roller by the groove, the rotation of the second sleeve on the flywheel is further restricted, thereby stopping the motor. This achieves the goal of effectively inspecting the quality of the flywheel before it proceeds to the next processing step. After the inspection is completed, flywheels of different qualities can be distinguished for feeding, thus effectively inspecting the quality of the flywheel to a certain extent and thereby stabilizing and improving the quality of flywheel production.

[0020] 2. The steering drive mechanism works in conjunction with the detection mechanism. After the detection mechanism completes its operation on the flywheel, the cylinder in the steering drive mechanism extends, driving the entire detection mechanism to move towards the second conveyor belt within the steering groove. Once the flywheel is above the second conveyor belt, the motor drives the lead screw to rotate again. At this point, the second sleeve moves away from the flywheel, while the three rollers still hold the flywheel in place. The suction cups on the second sleeve gradually separate from the flywheel, followed by the separation of the three rollers. Defective flywheels with gaps fall onto the second conveyor belt. If no gaps are detected on the flywheel edge, good flywheels are transferred to the first conveyor belt. This allows the detected defective flywheels to be collected and reprocessed. Thus, while the steering drive is used for feeding, it also assists the detection mechanism in classifying the flywheel quality, making it easier for operators to collect defective flywheels for secondary processing.

In the description of this invention, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0036] Reference Figures 1 to 10 An embodiment of the steering drive feeding mechanism for flywheel assembly line processing according to the present invention will be further described.

[0037] A steering-driven feeding mechanism for flywheel assembly line processing includes:

[0038] First conveyor belt 1 and second conveyor belt 2 are used for flywheel processing and conveying;

[0039] Both the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 are used to transport the flywheel, thereby assisting the flywheel in the next processing step. The first conveyor belt 1 is used to transport good products, and the second conveyor belt 2 is used to transport defective products.

[0040] A feeding mechanism is installed on the first conveyor belt 1. The feeding mechanism is used to assist the flywheel that has completed stamping in batch feeding.

[0041] A steering drive mechanism is installed on the first conveyor belt 1. After the detection mechanism completes the detection of the flywheel, the steering drive mechanism is used to drive the flywheel on the detection mechanism to be conveyed to the first conveyor belt 1 and the second conveyor belt 2 respectively.

[0042] The detection mechanism is installed on the first conveyor belt 1. After the feeding mechanism conveys the flywheel to the detection mechanism, the detection mechanism is used to detect the flywheel edge dent caused by bumps and squeezing during transportation.

[0043] The feeding mechanism includes feeding components, which are spaced apart on the first conveyor belt 1. The feeding components include feeding rails 3, rail plates 4, spatial grooves 5, electric rods 6, and feeding plates 7. The feeding rails 3 are spaced apart on the first conveyor belt 1. The rail plates 4 are fixedly connected to the feeding rails 3. The rail plates 4 and the feeding rails 3 cooperate to place the flywheel to be tested on the rail plates 4, and the flywheel slides on the rail plates 4 by the limiting of the feeding rails 3. The spatial grooves 5 are opened on the rail plates 4. The electric rods 6 are installed in the feeding rails 3 through the spatial grooves 5. The feeding plates 7 are fixedly connected to the electric rods 6. When the electric rods 6 are in a retracted state, the feeding plates 7 are in the spatial grooves 5. After the flywheel is transported to the feeding plates 7 through the rail plates 4 and the feeding rails 3, the extension of the electric rods 6 moves the flywheel to the detection mechanism, which assists the detection mechanism in clamping the flywheel.

[0044] The feeding track 3 is used to fix the track plate 4 and at the same time limit the sliding trajectory of the flywheel, so that the flywheel slides accurately onto the feeding plate 7;

[0045] For details, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 7 and Figure 8 The diameter of the space groove 5 on the track plate 4 is smaller than the diameter of the flywheel, so that the feeding plate 7 can be raised and lowered at the same time, while also preventing the flywheel from getting stuck in the space groove 5.

[0046] The purpose of setting the rail plate 4 to an inclined state is to allow the flywheel to slide onto the feed plate 7 by its own weight.

[0047] When the electric rod 6 is fully retracted, the feeding plate 7 is also fully adapted to the space slot 5.

[0048] The steering drive mechanism is installed at intervals on the first conveyor belt 1. The steering drive mechanism includes a functional frame 8, a steering groove 9, a cylinder 10, a steering component 11, and a push plate 12. The functional frame 8 is installed at intervals on the first transmission belt and the second conveyor belt 2. The feeding rail 3 and the electric rod 6 are both fixedly connected to the functional frame 8. The steering groove 9 is opened on the functional frame 8. The cylinder 10 is installed on the functional frame 8. The steering component 11 is fixed to both ends of the cylinder 10. The push plate 12 is fixedly connected to the steering component 11. One end of the cylinder 10 that is close to the push plate 12 is fixedly connected to the functional frame 8 through the steering component 11.

[0049] Functional frame 8 is used to support and fix the steering drive mechanism, the feeding mechanism, and the detection mechanism;

[0050] The steering component 11 is used to assist the cylinder 10 in flexibly changing its position when the drive motor 13 moves along the trajectory of the steering groove 9;

[0051] When the inspection mechanism detects the flywheel as good, the cylinder 10 retracts and, through the push plate 12, drives the motor 13 to move upward closer to the first conveyor belt 1, so that the flywheel is placed on the first conveyor belt 1; if the flywheel is detected as defective, the cylinder 10 extends and, through the push plate 12, drives the inspection mechanism on the motor 13 to move above the second conveyor belt 2, so that the defective product is placed on the second conveyor belt 2.

[0052] The detection mechanism includes a power component, a clamping component, and an adsorption component. The power component is mounted on the functional frame 8, and the clamping component and the adsorption component are both mounted on the power component. The power component is used to drive the clamping component and the adsorption component to reciprocate simultaneously, so as to assist the clamping component in limiting the flywheel and assist the adsorption component in fixing the flywheel. At the same time, the power component also drives the flywheel fixed on the adsorption component to rotate within the clamping component through its own rotation, so that the clamping component can detect the wear and bump conditions at the edge of the flywheel.

[0053] The power assembly includes a motor 13 and a lead screw 14. The motor 13 is fixedly connected to the push plate 12 and slides in the steering groove 9 through its output end. The lead screw 14 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 13.

[0054] The lead screw 14 is a bidirectional lead screw 14 in the prior art. When the output end of the motor 13 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate, the first sleeve 15 and the second sleeve 26 synchronously move linearly back and forth in opposite or relative directions on the lead screw 14.

[0055] The clamping assembly includes a first sleeve 15, a hinge 16, a clamping plate 17, a concave part 18, a roller 19, a slide groove 20, a slider 21, an elastic element 22, an auxiliary assembly, and a fixing ring 23. The first sleeve 15 is threaded to the outside of the lead screw 14. When the lead screw 14 rotates, the first sleeve 15 reciprocates outside the lead screw 14. The hinge 16 is fixedly connected to the first sleeve 15. The clamping plate 17 is mounted on the first sleeve 15 via the hinge 16. The concave part 18 is mounted on the clamping plate 17. The roller 19 is rotatably connected to the concave part 18. The slide groove 20 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 17. The slider 21 is fixedly connected to the concave part 18. Block 21 is slidably connected in the groove 20. The elastic element 22 is fixedly connected to the concave part 18 and the clamping plate 17 respectively. When the roller 19 contacts the edge of the flywheel and clamps the flywheel, the elastic element 22 pushes the slider 21 to slide in the groove 20 through its own tension, thereby assisting the roller 19 to stably clamp the flywheel. The auxiliary group is installed on the clamping plate 17 and the concave part 18 respectively. The auxiliary group is used to assist the roller 19 to move stably. The fixed ring 23 is movably connected to the inside of the clamping plate 17. The fixed ring 23 is used to support and stabilize the clamping plate 17. When the first sleeve 15 reciprocates on the screw 14, the clamping plate 17 drives the roller 19 to move with the fixed ring 23 as the center.

[0056] The two parts of the bidirectional lead screw 14 are not of equal length. The lead screw 14 in the first sleeve 15 is longer than the lead screw 14 in the second sleeve 26. Therefore, the movement trajectory of the first sleeve 15 is longer than that of the second sleeve 26. When the roller 19 contacts the flywheel and the suction cup 29 is attached to the flywheel, the continuous rotation of the lead screw 14 causes the concave part 18 to squeeze the elastic part 22, which further fixes the edge of the flywheel. At the same time, the continuous rotation of the lead screw 14 causes the second sleeve 26 to drive the flywheel attached to the suction cup 29 to rotate within the three rollers 19. If there is a depression or notch on the flywheel, the roller 19 will push the roller 19 on the concave part 18 to the depression through the extensibility of the elastic part 22, so that the first sleeve 15 restricts the rotation of the lead screw 14, thereby identifying the flywheel as a defective product.

[0057] The purpose of using the elastic element 22 in conjunction with the slide groove 20 and the slider 21 is to provide a certain amount of space for the roller 19 to move, so as to assist the roller 19 in fully and tightly clamping the flywheel. When the flywheel is unloading, after the suction cup 29 separates from the flywheel, the elastic element 22 squeezes the roller 19 on the concave part 18, so that the roller 19 can separate from the flywheel again after the suction cup 29 releases the flywheel, thereby achieving the function of sorting and unloading after flywheel detection.

[0058] The auxiliary assembly includes a limiting groove 24 and a round block 25. The limiting groove 24 is formed on the clamping plate 17, and the round block 25 is fixedly connected to the concave part 18 and slidably connected in the limiting groove 24. When the concave part 18 moves in the sliding groove 20 through the slider 21, the round block 25 also slides in the limiting groove 24, thereby further stabilizing the movement of the roller 19.

[0059] The adsorption assembly includes a second sleeve 26, a space cylinder 27, a connecting plate 28, and a suction cup 29. The second sleeve 26 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 14, the space cylinder 27 is fixedly connected to the second sleeve 26, the connecting plate 28 is fixedly connected to the space cylinder 27, and the suction cup 29 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 28. When the motor 13 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate, the second sleeve 26 moves towards the flywheel, and the space cylinder 27 and the connecting plate 28 drive the suction cup 29 to rotate while gradually approaching the flywheel until the suction cup 29 adsorbs and fixes the flywheel.

[0060] The space cylinder 27 on the second sleeve 26 is sleeved outside the lead screw 14, so that the movement trajectory of the second sleeve 26 is shorter than that of the first sleeve 15. The purpose is to fix the suction cup 29 for a certain period of time while the roller 19 assists the suction cup 29 to separate from the flywheel, so as to stably lower the flywheel onto the first conveyor belt 1 or the second transmission belt.

[0061] Working principle:

[0062] Step 1: When feeding the flywheel, first place the flywheels to be tested one by one on the rail plate 4. The flywheels gradually slide in the feeding track 3 through the inclined rail plate 4 until they slide on the feeding plate 7. Then, drive the electric rod 6 through the external control switch. While the electric rod 6 extends, it drives the flywheel on the feeding plate 7 to gradually move between the three rollers 19 until the flywheel moves to the middle of the three flywheels.

[0063] Step 2: Then, start the motor 13 through the external control switch, so that the output end of the motor 13 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate, and then the first sleeve 15 and the second sleeve 26 on the lead screw 14 move in opposite directions respectively.

[0064] Step 3: When the first sleeve 15 moves toward the motor 13, the clamping plate 17 rotates around the fixed ring 23 with the assistance of the hinge 16. Then, the rollers 19 on the three clamping plates 17 move toward the edge of the flywheel in sync until the rollers 19 contact the edge of the flywheel. Then, the continuous rotation of the lead screw 14 causes the rollers 19 on the clamping plates 17 to further clamp the edge of the flywheel.

[0065] Step 4: As the first sleeve 15 moves toward the motor 13, the second sleeve 26 also drives the space cylinder 27 to move toward the flywheel in sync, so that the suction cup 29 gradually adsorbs the flywheel on the loading plate 7. At this time, as the lead screw 14 continues to rotate, the flywheel rotates between the three rollers 19. If there is a notch or depression on the edge of the flywheel, when the depression rotates to the outside of one of the three rollers 19, the roller 19 will be pushed into the groove of the flywheel by the tension of the elastic element 22 and the assistance of the slider 21 and the groove 20. Then, due to the restriction of the groove on the roller 19, the rotation of the second sleeve 26 on the flywheel is further restricted, and the motor 13 stops running.

[0066] Step 5: At this time, the cylinder 10 is started by the external control switch. The cylinder 10 extends and drives the entire detection mechanism to move towards the second conveyor belt 2 in the steering groove 9 until the flywheel moves above the second conveyor belt 2. Then, the motor 13 drives the lead screw 14 to rotate again. At this time, the second sleeve 26 moves away from the flywheel. The three rollers still fix the flywheel. The suction cups 29 on the second sleeve 26 gradually separate from the flywheel. Then, the three rollers 19 also separate from the flywheel. Then, the defective flywheel with a gap falls onto the second conveyor belt. If no gap is detected on the edge of the flywheel, the good flywheel is transferred to the first conveyor belt. Thus, the detected defective products are collected and reprocessed.

[0067] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of the present invention's concept are within the scope of protection of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principles of the present invention should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.

The steering drive mechanism includes a functional frame (8), a steering groove (9), a cylinder (10), a steering component (11), and a push plate (12). The functional frame (8) is installed at intervals on the first transmission belt and the second conveyor belt (2). The feeding rail (3) and the electric rod (6) are both fixedly connected to the functional frame (8). The steering groove (9) is opened on the functional frame (8). The cylinder (10) is installed on the functional frame (8). The steering component (11) is fixed to both ends of the cylinder (10). The push plate (12) is fixedly connected to the steering component (11). The end of the cylinder (10) away from the push plate (12) is fixedly connected to the functional frame (8) through the steering component (11). The detection mechanism includes a power component, a clamping component and an adsorption component. The power component is mounted on the functional frame (8). The clamping component and the adsorption component are both mounted on the power component. The power component is used to drive the clamping component and the adsorption component to move back and forth simultaneously, so as to assist the clamping component in limiting the flywheel and assist the adsorption component in fixing the flywheel. At the same time, the power component also drives the flywheel fixed on the adsorption component to rotate inside the clamping component through its own rotation, so that the clamping component can detect the wear and collision conditions at the edge of the flywheel. The power assembly includes a motor (13) and a lead screw (14). The motor (13) is fixedly connected to the push plate (12). The motor (13) slides in the steering groove (9) through its output end. The lead screw (14) is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor (13). The clamping assembly includes a first sleeve (15), a hinge (16), a clamping plate (17), a concave part (18), a roller (19), a slide groove (20), a slider (21), an elastic element (22), an auxiliary group, and a fixing ring (23). The first sleeve (15) is threaded to the outside of the lead screw (14). When the lead screw (14) rotates, the first sleeve (15) reciprocates outside the lead screw (14). The hinge (16) is fixedly connected to the first sleeve (15). The clamping plate (17) is installed on the first sleeve (15) through the hinge (16). The concave part (18) is installed on the clamping plate (17). The roller (19) is rotatably connected to the concave part (18). The slide groove (20) is fixedly connected to the clamping plate (17). The slider (21) is fixedly connected to the concave part (18). The slider (21) is slidably connected to the groove (20). The elastic element (22) is fixedly connected to the concave part (18) and the clamping plate (17). When the roller (19) contacts the edge of the flywheel and clamps the flywheel, the elastic element (22) pushes the slider (21) to slide in the groove (20) through its own tension, thereby assisting the roller (19) to stably hold the flywheel. The auxiliary group is installed on the clamping plate (17) and the concave part (18). The auxiliary group is used to assist the roller (19) to move stably. The fixed ring (23) is movably connected to the inside of the clamping plate (17). The fixed ring (23) is used to support and stabilize the clamping plate (17). When the first sleeve (15) moves back and forth on the screw (14), the clamping plate (17) drives the roller (19) to move with the fixed ring (23) as the center.

2. The steering drive feeding mechanism for flywheel assembly line processing according to claim 1, characterized in that, The auxiliary assembly includes a limiting groove (24) and a round block (25). The limiting groove (24) is opened on the clamping plate (17). The round block (25) is fixedly connected to the concave part (18) and slidably connected in the limiting groove (24). When the concave part (18) moves in the sliding groove (20) through the slider (21), the round block (25) also slides in the limiting groove (24), so that the roller (19) moves stably.

3. The steering drive feeding mechanism for flywheel assembly line processing according to claim 1, characterized in that, The adsorption assembly includes a second sleeve (26), a space cylinder (27), a connecting plate (28), and a suction cup (29). The second sleeve (26) is threaded onto the lead screw (14), the space cylinder (27) is fixedly connected to the second sleeve (26), the connecting plate (28) is fixedly connected to the space cylinder (27), and the suction cup (29) is fixedly connected to the connecting plate (28). When the motor (13) drives the lead screw (14) to rotate, the second sleeve (26) moves towards the flywheel, causing the space cylinder (27) and the connecting plate (28) to drive the suction cup (29) to rotate while gradually approaching the flywheel until the suction cup (29) adsorbs and fixes the flywheel.
