Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a wheel hub positioning tool and a processing method, belonging to the technical field of wheel hub processing. Background Art

[0002] A wheel hub, also known as a rim, wheel, or wheel rim, is a cylindrical metal component mounted centrally on an axle, supporting the tire's inner profile. Wheel hubs come in a wide variety of styles, depending on their diameter, width, molding method, and material. Surface treatments vary depending on the characteristics and requirements of each vehicle model, broadly categorized as painting or electroplating. In the past, the most common wheel hub bearings for passenger cars used pairs of single-row tapered roller or ball bearings. With technological advancements, wheel hub units have become widely used in passenger cars. The use and volume of wheel hub bearing units have steadily increased, reaching their third generation. The first generation consisted of double-row angular contact bearings. The second generation featured a flange on the outer raceway to secure the bearings, allowing the bearings to be simply screwed onto the axle and secured with nuts, facilitating vehicle maintenance. The third generation integrates the bearing unit with an anti-lock brake system. The wheel hub unit consists of an inner flange and an outer flange. The inner flange is bolted to the drive shaft, while the outer flange holds the entire bearing together.

[0003] The wheel hub is an important metal component that supports the car wheel. After the wheel hub is produced, it often has defects and needs further fine processing. Due to the complexity of the components of the wheel hub, deviations are easy to occur during positioning. During batch automated processing, inaccurate positioning can easily lead to reduced subsequent processing accuracy, making it difficult to perform high-precision processing on the wheel hub. Further positioning will also cause inconvenience in disassembly and assembly due to excessive use of positioning fixtures, affecting processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The limiting assembly 50 is inserted into the inside of the mounting assembly 40, and the limiting assembly 50 extends to the inside of the center positioning assembly 30.

[0031] A disc 14 is provided on the inner wall of the fixing seat 13 facing the center positioning component 30, and the disc 14 is rotatably connected to the bearing component inside the fixing seat 13, and a driving device connected to the disc 14 is provided on the outer wall of the fixing seat 13 opposite to the inside. An L-shaped support plate 15 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the disc 14 facing the center positioning component 30. There are two support plates 15, and the two support plates 15 are respectively fixedly connected to the two ends of the base plate 21 by screws, and the two support plates 15 are symmetrical.

[0032] In this technical solution, the support plate 15 is used to install the base plate 21, and the driving disc 14 can drive the support plate 15 and the base plate 21 to rotate synchronously, so as to achieve angle adjustment of the fixed hub workpiece 33 after rotation to adapt to processing at different arbitrary angles.

The oil cylinder 251 is fixedly mounted to the top surface of the bottom plate 21, and the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 251 is telescopic in the vertical direction and rotates with one end of the clamping rod 252 The connection is that the clamping rod 252 is an L-shaped structure, the middle part of the clamping rod 252 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 253, and the other end of the connecting rod 253 is rotatably connected to the main cylinder body of the oil cylinder 251, and the other end of the clamping rod 252 is fixedly connected with the clamping claw 254; the auxiliary clamping mechanism 25 has the same structure as the hinge clamping mechanism 23 and the main clamping mechanism 24, the clamping claw 254 on the auxiliary clamping mechanism 25 is a V-shaped structure, the clamping claw 254 on the main clamping mechanism 24 is a bent structure, and the telescopic ends of the oil cylinder 251 of the main clamping mechanism 24 and the auxiliary clamping mechanism 25 are oriented in the same direction, and the oil cylinder 251 of the hinge clamping mechanism 23 is telescopic in the horizontal direction.

[0034] In this technical solution, the center positioning column 31 is used to perform the preliminary fixation of the hub workpiece 33. During the preliminary fixation, the hub workpiece 33 is placed on the center positioning column 31. The movable rod 34 in the center positioning column 31 drives the end 35 to press against the inner wall of the hub workpiece 33 to achieve preliminary fixation, and relies on multiple special-shaped positioning seats 22 to achieve initial limit. When the hub workpiece 33 is placed on the center positioning column 31, multiple special-shaped positioning seats 22 press against the corresponding positions of the hub workpiece 33, and the initial limit can be achieved at this time. After the pre-installation and positioning of the installation component 40 and the limiting component 50, the pre-installation positioning is the initial fixation through the center positioning column 31 and the initial limiting state through the special-shaped positioning seat 22. The oil cylinder 251 of the hinge clamping mechanism 23 is horizontally extended and retracted to drive the hub workpiece 33 to press against the special-shaped positioning seat 22. After the hub workpiece 33 is clamped by the main clamping mechanism 24, it is clamped and fixed again by the auxiliary clamping mechanism 25 to achieve stable limiting of the hub workpiece 33 and ensure its positioning stability performance.

[0035] The center positioning assembly 30 is composed of a center positioning column 31 of an annular structure, and the center positioning column 31 is fixedly installed to the inside of the base plate 21 by an inner hexagonal bolt 32. The surface of the center positioning column 31 is sleeved with a hub workpiece 33, and the hinge clamping mechanism 23, the main clamping mechanism 24 and the auxiliary clamping mechanism 25 and a plurality of special-shaped positioning seats 22 are all arranged around the center positioning column 31, and the special-shaped positioning seats 22 are staggered between the hinge clamping mechanism 23, the main clamping mechanism 24 and the auxiliary clamping machine; a number of movable rods 34 are inserted through the top of the center positioning column 31, and the several movable rods 34 are evenly arranged on the edge of the center positioning column 31. Both ends of each movable rod 34 are fixedly connected to the end 35 of the semicircular structure, one of the ends 35 is connected to the inside of the center positioning column 31 through a spring 36, the spring 36 is sleeved on the surface of the movable rod 34, and the other end 35 extends to the inside of the center positioning column 31.

[0036] In this technical solution, the outer diameter of the center positioning column 31 is smaller than the inner diameter of the middle part of the hub workpiece 33, which can facilitate the smooth installation of the hub workpiece 33 on the center positioning column 31, and then multiple end heads 35 are used to fix the inner wall of the hub workpiece 33 at multiple points to ensure stable limiting for subsequent processing.

[0037] The mounting assembly 40 includes a mounting plate 41 and a shell 42. A filter screen is provided in the middle of the mounting plate 41. The mounting plate 41 is fixedly mounted to the bottom surface of the base plate 21. The mounting plate 41 is correspondingly arranged below the center positioning column 31. The shell 42 is fixedly mounted to the bottom end of the mounting plate 41. The bottom end of the shell 42 is a concave structure. A sealing ring 44 of an annular structure is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the shell 42. A guide tube 43 is connected to the bottom of the shell 42. The limiting assembly 50 consists of a fixing plate 51 and a stepper motor 52. The fixing plate 51 is fixedly mounted to the bottom of the shell 42. The stepper motor 52 is fixed to the fixing plate 51. The bottom of the fixed plate 51 is fixedly connected, and the output end of the stepper motor 52 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 53, and the drive shaft 53 passes through the shell 42 and the mounting plate 41 respectively and extends to the inside of the center positioning column 31. The surface of the drive shaft 53 is fixedly connected to a guide plate 54 located inside the shell 42. The guide plate 54 is a bowl-shaped structure and is located on the bottom surface of the shell 42, and the guide plate 54 is in contact with the sealing ring 44. The top of the drive shaft 53 is fixedly connected to a turntable 55. The edge of the turntable 55 is provided with a number of grooves 56 with the same number as the movable rod 34, and the inner wall of the groove 56 is in contact with the end head 35.

[0038] In this technical solution, the shell 42 is fixed to the bottom of the base plate 21 through the mounting plate 41. The shell 42 can guide the coolant. When part of the coolant flows down to the center positioning component 30 during processing, the coolant flows down through the filter in the middle of the mounting plate 41 and enters the interior of the shell 42. The concave structure at the bottom of the shell 42 allows the coolant to be guided smoothly and discharged through the guide pipe 43. At the same time, the sealing ring 44 and the guide plate 54 are arranged to cooperate to achieve sealing at the connection between the shell 42 and the drive shaft 53 without affecting the rotation of the drive shaft 53.

[0039] Furthermore, when the stepper motor 52 drives the drive shaft 53 to rotate, the guide plate 54 rotates on the surface of the sealing ring 44. At the same time, the drive shaft 53 rotates in the mounting plate 41 and drives the disc 14 to rotate. When the end head 35 moves out from the inside of the groove 56, the end head 35 pushes the movable rod 34 outward, and then presses against the inner wall of the hub workpiece 33. When the stepper motor 52 rotates in the opposite direction, the end head 35 re-enters the groove 56, and the elasticity of the spring 36 can drive the movable rod 34 to reset. At this time, the hub workpiece 33 can be easily removed, and the hub workpiece 33 can be conveniently disassembled and assembled.

[0040] A method for processing a wheel hub positioning tool comprises the following steps: (1) Pre-installation and positioning of the wheel hub: the wheel hub workpiece 33 is sleeved on the surface of the central positioning column 31, and the special-shaped positioning seat 22 is used to limit the specific position of the wheel hub workpiece 33. The stepper motor 52 is started to drive the drive shaft 53 and the turntable 55 to rotate synchronously. The groove 56 on the edge of the turntable 55 squeezes the end head 35 and pushes the movable rod 34 to move. The movable rod 34 overcomes the elasticity of the spring 36 and drives the end head 35 to press against the inner wall of the wheel hub workpiece 33 to achieve pre-installation and positioning; (2) Positioning the outer contour of the hub: first start the hinge clamping mechanism 23, and use the horizontal extension of the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 251 to drive the clamping rod 252 to press against the hub workpiece 33, so that it rests on the special-shaped positioning seat 22 to achieve angular positioning, then start the main clamping mechanism 24, and use the clamping claw 254 at the telescopic end of the oil cylinder 251 to press the top surface of the hub workpiece 33, and finally start the auxiliary clamping mechanism 25 to make the clamping claw 254 further press and fix the hub workpiece 33; (3) Machine tool processing: The wheel hub workpiece 33 is processed using a machining tool on the machine tool side. The support plate 15 can be installed and fixed to the base plate 21. The support plate 15 and the base plate 21 can be rotated around the disc 14 to achieve multi-axis processing to process complex positions of the wheel hub workpiece 33; (4) Coolant diversion: Coolant is sprayed on the processing position of the hub workpiece 33 to cool it down. When the coolant flows in the center positioning column 31, it overflows from the mounting plate 41. The concave structure at the bottom of the shell 42 is used to achieve smooth coolant diversion, and the guide plate 54 and the sealing ring 44 are fitted together to avoid coolant leakage. When the stepper motor 52 drives the guide plate 54 on the drive shaft 53 to rotate, the effective fit between the guide plate 54 and the sealing ring 44 is always ensured, and the coolant is completely discharged from the guide pipe 43 for collection.
