Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the manufacturing process and technical field of new energy vehicle structural parts, and particularly relates to a hot reverse mechanical correction and detection device and a correction and detection method for aluminum alloy wheels of new energy vehicles. Background Art

[0002] The wheel is assembled from parts such as a wheel hub, a tire, a valve stem or a pressure sensor, and a decorative cover, and is mainly composed of a wheel hub and a tire cooperating with each other. The wheel hub is the hardest supporting part of the wheel, is a component installed in cooperation with the axle, and supports the entire wheel component. It is the most critical and important part of the wheel assembly. As an assembly component, the wheel plays a very important role in the whole vehicle of the automobile. It not only realizes power conversion through transmission, but also bears the vehicle's own gravity and the safety of the whole vehicle's load during the driving of the whole vehicle. The wheel needs to bear a lot of acting forces, such as the combined interaction forces such as the huge torque generated during braking, the normal pressure of the vehicle body itself, the rotational torque during vehicle startup, and even the irregular forces generated in all directions such as impact and turning during the driving of the vehicle. As a key component of vehicle operation, the quality of the wheel directly affects the quality of the whole vehicle of the automobile. During high-speed driving, the smoothness, flexibility, impact resistance, and durability of the wheel operation will all affect the safety, stability, reliability, controllability, and comfort of vehicle driving, and even affect the service life and safety of the vehicle. Therefore, automobile manufacturers' requirements for the production stability and use safety of wheels are increasing day by day.

[0003] As the most popular wheel hub material in the current market, aluminum alloy wheels are known for their light weight characteristics, which can reduce the total weight of the vehicle, thereby improving the driving range and controllability of new energy vehicles. Moreover, the excellent thermal conductivity of aluminum alloy materials also helps the heat dissipation of the wheel hub, and the corrosion resistance has also been significantly improved compared with steel wheels. At present, aluminum alloy wheels are mainly produced by the metal mold low-pressure casting process. When producing aluminum alloy wheels by the metal mold low-pressure casting process, due to the different structural forms and wall thicknesses of the spoke area and the rim area of the aluminum alloy wheel, large solidification thermal stresses will be generated during the solidification process under the influence of the solidification temperature gradient, resulting in solidification deformation of the aluminum alloy wheel. The solidification thermal stresses accumulated during the solidification stage of the aluminum alloy wheel cannot be effectively released, and the quenching thermal stresses are superimposed during the solution quenching stage, which often leads to large deformations of the aluminum alloy wheel, directly affecting the dynamic balance performance of the aluminum alloy wheel, and thus affecting the controllability, stability, and safety of new energy vehicles. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The inventor of the present application has found through research that the commonly used correction process is to be carried out after the aluminum alloy wheel hub has completed the quality inspection. At this time, the yield strength limit of the aluminum alloy wheel hub has risen to more than 150MPa, and the correction is difficult; and when using conventional correction devices to calibrate the aluminum alloy wheel hub, it is difficult to take into account the full size of the aluminum alloy wheel hub. Often, after the size of some areas is corrected, the size of other areas has undergone a large deformation, and the correction and detection of the aluminum alloy wheel hub cannot be realized synchronously. In order to improve the deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention comprehensively considers the current aluminum alloy wheel hub metal mold low-pressure casting process and the synchronous correction and detection of the aluminum alloy wheel hub, and proposes a hot reverse mechanical correction and detection device and method for the aluminum alloy wheel hub of new energy vehicles. The hot reverse mechanical correction and detection device and method are characterized by simple operation, low manufacturing cost and short production cycle. The hot reverse mechanical correction and detection device and method are used to quickly detect the solidification deformation of the inner rim and the outer rim of the aluminum alloy wheel hub after the aluminum alloy wheel hub completes the low-pressure casting of the metal mold, and to perform hot reverse mechanical correction on the aluminum alloy wheel hub when the yield strength limit of the aluminum alloy wheel hub is low, which significantly improves the dimensional accuracy and surface finish of the aluminum alloy wheel hub, greatly improves and enhances the dynamic balancing performance of the aluminum alloy wheel hub, and obtains a dimensional tolerance of the aluminum alloy wheel hub ≤IT8 level and a surface finish of Ra ≤0.8μm, axial runout of the inner and outer sides of the aluminum alloy wheel hub ≤0.10mm, unbalanced mass ( Unbalance Mass ) ≤0.8g, dynamic balancing test amplitude ≤8μm, imbalance angle ≤5°, which greatly improves the handling, stability and safety of new energy vehicles.

[0005] The object of the present invention is achieved through the following technical solutions:

[0006] A hot-state reverse mechanical correction and detection device for an aluminum alloy wheel hub of a new energy vehicle. The device includes a low-pressure metal mold casting unit, a mold cavity unit, a transmission unit, and a correction and detection unit. The correction and detection unit and the mold cavity unit are arranged above the low-pressure metal mold casting unit. The transmission unit is arranged on one side of the low-pressure metal mold casting unit.

Compared with the existing correction process and detection method, the hot-state reverse mechanical correction and detection device of the present invention can synchronously and quickly realize the size detection and mechanical correction of the aluminum alloy wheel hub after the low-pressure metal mold casting of the aluminum alloy wheel hub. At this time, the yield strength limit of the material of the aluminum alloy wheel hub is relatively low, that is, a smaller torque can be used to perform hot-state mechanical correction on the inner rim and outer rim areas of the aluminum alloy wheel hub, which has the characteristics of fast response speed and fast production effect. At the same time, when using the hot-state reverse mechanical correction rod to perform hot-state reverse mechanical correction on the aluminum alloy wheel hub, the inner rim laser rangefinder and the outer rim laser rangefinder are synchronously turned on. By using the laser to measure the distance of the inner rim and outer rim of the aluminum alloy wheel hub and comparing it with the theoretically calculated value, the advance distance of the hot-state reverse mechanical correction rod can be inversely calculated. By combining the control of the driving motor of the regulating gear and the rotation speed of the transmission gear, a suitable torque is formed on the hot-state reverse mechanical correction rod to perform full-size hot-state reverse mechanical correction on the inner rim and outer rim areas of the aluminum alloy wheel hub.
