Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a wheel hub positioning fixture and processing method, belonging to the field of wheel hub processing technology. Background Technology
[0002] A wheel hub, also called a rim, steel rim, wheel, or tire rim, is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire and is centrally mounted on an axle. Wheel hubs come in many varieties depending on their diameter, width, molding method, and materials. Depending on the characteristics and needs of different car models, wheel hub surface treatments also vary, broadly categorized as baking paint and electroplating. Historically, passenger car wheel bearings were mostly paired single-row tapered roller or ball bearings. With technological advancements, passenger cars now widely use wheel hub units. The application and usage of wheel hub bearing units have increased significantly, evolving to the third generation: the first generation consisted of double-row angular contact bearings. The second generation had a flange on the outer raceway for securing the bearing, allowing for simple mounting of the bearing onto the axle with a nut, simplifying car maintenance. The third generation wheel hub bearing units integrate the bearing unit with an anti-lock braking system (ABS). The wheel hub unit is designed with an inner and outer flange; the inner flange is bolted to the drive shaft, while the outer flange mounts the entire bearing assembly.
[0003] Wheel hubs are important metal components that support car wheels. After production, wheel hubs often have defects that require further precision processing. Due to the complexity of wheel hub components, deviations can easily occur during positioning. In batch automated processing, inaccurate positioning can easily lead to reduced processing accuracy in subsequent processes, making it difficult to perform high-precision processing on wheel hubs. Furthermore, the use of too many positioning fixtures during further positioning can cause inconvenience in disassembly and assembly, affecting processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention
