[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following advantages:

[0017] 1. This invention activates the second motor of the height adjustment component, which drives the lead screw to rotate. The nut threaded to the lead screw causes the support box to slide up and down along the dovetail groove on one side of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame, thereby adjusting the overall height of the tapping assembly mechanism. This ensures that the drill bit or tap can accurately contact the machining surface at the top of the automotive wheel hub axle tube. For different hole distribution requirements of automotive wheel hub axle tubes, the adjustment motor of the level adjustment component is activated. The adjustment motor drives the turntable to rotate via a fixed shaft. The arc-shaped elongated sliding hole on the turntable guides the rotating bearing of the tapping assembly mechanism, causing the tool holder to slide radially along the sliding groove of the support frame via a slider. Four... The tapping assembly mechanism synchronously adjusts the horizontal spacing. During the horizontal movement of the four tapping assemblies, their tops pull the sliding sleeves through the bottom universal joints, allowing the sliding rods inside the sleeves to extend. With the combined action of the top universal joints on the sliding rods and the bottom universal joints connected to the sliding sleeves, the positions of the four tapping assemblies can be adjusted synchronously without adjusting the position of the drive components. This adapts to the processing requirements of different hole layouts, eliminating the need for the traditional method of replacing the spindle box assembly or manually adjusting the positions of multiple sets of taps independently. The operation is convenient and the adjustment accuracy is high, which is beneficial for efficient and high-precision machining of automotive wheel hub tubes.

[0018] 2. This invention utilizes a small motor in the clamping adjustment assembly to drive a worm gear to rotate. Due to the meshing of the worm gear with the helical teeth on the outside of the rotating ring, the worm gear's rotational motion is converted into the rotating ring's circumferential deflection motion within the fixed frame. As the rotating ring deflects, its arc-shaped elongated through-hole slides along the guide rod inside the fixed frame's groove. The through-hole guides the sliding columns, causing them to move radially along the sliding groove of the fixed frame. The three sliding columns synchronously move towards the center, pushing the end pressure plate to tightly adhere to the workpiece surface, thus achieving centering and clamping of hub shafts of different diameters and preventing workpiece damage during processing. Offset; When adjusting the position of the automobile wheel hub axle tube, the first motor of the deflection assembly is started. The first motor drives the drive gear to rotate, and the drive gear meshes with the gear ring of the inner ring of the tapping assembly worktable, causing the tapping assembly worktable to rotate around the support bearing. The machining angle of the automobile wheel hub axle tube is adjusted, and it is transferred to the direct under the tapping assembly mechanism on the other side. Because the drill bit or tap is installed in the tool holder, the alternating cooperation of the tapping assembly mechanisms on both sides of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame achieves the combined machining purpose of drilling and tapping the automobile wheel hub axle tube, ensuring the continuity and efficiency of the machining operation.

[0031] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Please see Figures 1-9 The present invention provides a technical solution:

[0033] A multi-axis tapping assembly machine for automobile wheel hub tubes includes a multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1, a support base 2 fixed at the bottom of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1, a support bearing 3 fixed on the support base 2, and a tapping assembly worktable 4 rotatably connected inside the support bearing 3. The support bearing 3 supports and limits the tapping assembly worktable 4, thereby improving the stability of the tapping assembly worktable 4 in moving the automobile wheel hub tube.

[0034] A deflection assembly 5 is fixed in the inner ring of the tapping assembly worktable 4. The deflection assembly 5 includes a gear ring 501, which is fixed in the inner ring of the tapping assembly worktable 4. A drive gear 502 meshes inside the gear ring 501. A first motor 503 is fixed on the drive gear 502. A connecting plate 504 is fixed outside the first motor 503 and is fixed below the back of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1. The drive gear 502 meshes with the gear ring 501 in the inner ring of the tapping assembly worktable 4, causing the tapping assembly worktable 4 to rotate around the support bearing 3. This adjusts the machining angle of the automobile wheel hub axle tube and transfers it to the area directly below the tapping assembly mechanism 14 on the other side. Through the alternating operation of the tapping assembly mechanisms 14 on both sides of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1, the combined machining of drilling and tapping of the automobile wheel hub axle tube is achieved.

[0035] Two dovetail grooves 6 are respectively opened on both sides of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1. Slide seats 7 are slidably connected in the two dovetail grooves 6. Support boxes 8 are fixed on the side of the two slide seats 7 that are far apart from each other. The mutual insertion between the dovetail grooves 6 and the side walls of the slide seats 7 plays a role in limiting and guiding the support boxes 8, preventing deviation, and ensuring that the support boxes 8 always move in the vertical direction, thereby improving the stability of subsequent processing.

[0036] A height adjustment component 9 is installed through the support box 8. Both ends of the height adjustment component 9 are fixed to the extension on one side of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1. The height adjustment component 9 includes a second motor 901. A lead screw 902 is fixed to the output shaft of the second motor 901. A nut 904 is threaded onto the lead screw 902. The nut 904 is engaged in the support box 8, and the bottom end of the lead screw 902 passes through the support box 8 via the nut 904 and is rotatably connected to a support sleeve 903. The support sleeve 903 and the second motor 901 are fixed to the extension on one side of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1. When the second motor 901 of the height adjustment component 9 is activated, it drives the lead screw 902 to rotate. The nut 904, threaded onto the lead screw 902, causes the support box 8 to slide up and down along the dovetail groove 6 on one side of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1, thereby adjusting the overall height of the tapping assembly 14 to ensure that the drill bit or tap can accurately contact the machining surface at the top of the automotive wheel hub tube.

[0037] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a drive assembly 10 is installed through the top of the support box 8. The drive assembly 10 includes a drive motor 101, which is mounted on the support box 8. The output shaft of the drive motor 101 passes through the top of the support box 8 and is fixed with a drive gear 102. The drive gear 102 is externally meshed with four driven gears 103. A connecting shaft 104 is fixedly connected to the driven gears 103. The connecting shaft 104 is rotatably connected to the support box 8 through a bushing.

[0038] Four transmission components 11 are mounted on the bottom of the connecting shaft 104. Each transmission component 11 includes a sliding sleeve 111, inside which a sliding rod 112 is fitted. A top universal joint 113 is mounted on the top of the sliding rod 112, and the top universal joint 113 is movably connected to the bottom end of the connecting shaft 104. A bottom universal joint 114 is mounted on the bottom end of the sliding sleeve 111, and the bottom universal joint 114 is movably connected to the top end of the tapping assembly 14. After the drive motor 101 starts, it drives the drive gear 102 to rotate. The drive gear 102 meshes and drives the four driven gears 103 to rotate synchronously. The driven gears 103 transmit power to the transmission components 11 through the connecting shaft 104, enabling the multiple transmission components 11 to drive the corresponding tapping assembly 14 below to work synchronously, thereby improving machining stability.

[0039] During the horizontal movement of the four tapping assembly mechanisms 14, their tops pull the sliding sleeve 111 through the bottom universal joint 114, allowing the sliding rod 112 inside the sliding sleeve 111 to extend. With the combined action of the top universal joint 113 on the sliding rod 112 and the bottom universal joint 114 connected to the sliding sleeve 111, the positions of the four tapping assembly mechanisms 14 can be adjusted synchronously without adjusting the drive assembly 10.

[0040] As a further embodiment of the present invention, a horizontal adjustment component 12 is provided below the transmission component 11, and the horizontal adjustment component 12 is fixed to the bottom of the support box 8; a support frame 13 is provided at the bottom of the horizontal adjustment component 12, and the support frame 13 is fixedly installed below the support box 8. Four tapping combination mechanisms 14 are slidably connected in the support frame 13, and the top ends of the four tapping combination mechanisms 14 pass through the horizontal adjustment component 12 and are connected to the bottom ends of the corresponding four transmission components 11.

[0041] The tapping assembly mechanism 14 includes a tool holder 141, with a tool 142 mounted on the bottom of the tool holder 141. The tool 142 includes either a drill bit or a tap. Because the tool holder 141 is equipped with a drill bit or a tap, the alternating operation of the tapping assembly mechanisms 14 on both sides of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1 enables drilling and tapping of automobile wheel hub tubes, ensuring the continuity of the machining operation. The top and bottom universal joints 114 of the tool holder 141 are movably connected. A rotary bearing 143 is sleeved on the outside of the tool holder 141, and a slider 144 is fixed below the outer ring of the rotary bearing 143. The support frame 13 has a cross-shaped design and grooves 15 are respectively opened at the positions of the four sliders 144. The protruding parts on both sides of the sliders 144 are slidably connected in the inner wall of the grooves 15. The grooves 15 limit the protruding parts on both sides of the sliders 144, improving the stability of the horizontal movement of the tool holder 141.

[0042] The top universal joint 113, slide rod 112, slide sleeve 111 and bottom universal joint 114 of the transmission assembly 11 form a flexible transmission structure, which not only ensures that the power is stably transmitted to the tool holder 141, but also adapts to the positional deviation of the tool holder 141 during the horizontal adjustment process.

[0043] The horizontal adjustment assembly 12 includes a limiting bearing 121. The outer ring of the limiting bearing 121 is fixed to the bottom of the support box 8. A turntable 122 is sleeved inside the limiting bearing 121. Sliding holes 125 are respectively opened on the turntable 122 at the positions corresponding to the four tool holders 141. The sliding holes 125 are designed as arc-shaped elongated strips. A rotary bearing 143 slides through the outermost end of the sliding hole 125. A fixed shaft 123 is fixed in the middle of the turntable 122. An adjustment motor 124 is fixed at the top of the fixed shaft 123. The adjustment motor 124 is installed inside the support box 8. The adjustment motor 124 drives the turntable 122 to rotate through the fixed shaft 123. The arc-shaped elongated sliding holes 125 on the turntable 122 guide the rotary bearings 143 of the tapping assembly mechanism 14, so that the tool holders 141 slide radially along the sliding grooves 15 of the support frame 13 through the sliders 144. The four tapping assembly mechanisms 14 adjust the horizontal spacing synchronously to adapt to the processing requirements of different hole layouts.

[0044] As a further embodiment of the present invention, mounting bases 16 are fixedly installed on both sides of the tapping assembly workbench 4. A clamping adjustment assembly 17 is fixed on the mounting base 16. The clamping adjustment assembly 17 includes a fixing frame 171. The fixing frame 171 is circular and has an opening on its outside that is rotatably connected to a worm gear 172 via a bushing. One end of the worm gear 172 is connected to a small motor 173. The small motor 173 is installed on the outside of the fixing frame 171. Three sliding grooves 174 are provided on the protruding part of the fixing frame 171.

[0045] The clamping adjustment assembly 17 is internally slidably connected to a limiting assembly 18. The limiting assembly 18 includes a rotating ring 181. Several helical teeth 182 are provided on the outside of the rotating ring 181 near the worm gear 172, and the worm gear 172 meshes with the helical teeth 182. The rotating ring 181 slides within a groove in one of the three protruding parts inside the fixed frame 171. A guide rod 184 is longitudinally fixed to the inner wall of the groove. Through holes 183 are respectively opened on the rotating ring 181 corresponding to the positions of the three guide rods 184. The through holes 183 are arc-shaped and elongated, and the guide rods 184 slide through them. A sliding column 185 is fixed through the outside of the guide rod 184. The sliding column 185 slides within the sliding groove 174, and the cavity inside the sliding column 185 passes through the rotating ring 181. A pressure plate 186 is fixed to one end of each of the three sliding columns 185 that is close to each other.

[0046] The worm gear 172 is driven to rotate by a small motor 173. Since the worm gear 172 meshes with the helical teeth 182 on the outside of the rotating ring 181, the rotational motion of the worm gear 172 is converted into the circumferential deflection motion of the rotating ring 181 inside the fixed frame 171. When the rotating ring 181 deflects, the arc-shaped through hole 183 on its surface slides along the guide rod 184 in the groove of the fixed frame 171. Through the guiding action of the through hole 183, the sliding column 185 is driven to move radially along the sliding groove 174 of the fixed frame 171. The three sliding columns 185 move towards the center at the same time, pushing the pressure plate 186 at the end to fit tightly against the surface of the workpiece, thereby achieving centering and clamping of hub shaft tubes of different diameter specifications.

[0047] Working principle of this invention:

[0048] In use, place the automotive wheel hub tube to be processed in the mounting seat 16 on the tapping assembly worktable 4, with the flange component of the automotive wheel hub tube facing upwards, ensuring that the processing part of the automotive wheel hub tube is aligned with the lower area of ​​the tapping assembly mechanism 14. Start the small motor 173 of the clamping adjustment assembly 17. The small motor 173 drives the worm gear 172 to rotate. Since the worm gear 172 meshes with the helical teeth 182 on the outside of the rotating ring 181, the rotational motion of the worm gear 172 is converted into the circumferential deflection motion of the rotating ring 181 inside the fixed frame 171. When the rotating ring 181 deflects, the arc-shaped through hole 183 on its surface slides along the guide rod 184 in the groove of the fixed frame 171. Through the guiding action of the through hole 183, the sliding column 185 is driven to move radially along the sliding groove 174 of the fixed frame 171. The three sliding columns 185 move towards the center simultaneously, pushing the end pressure plate 186 to tightly fit against the workpiece surface, realizing the centering and clamping of wheel hub tubes of different diameter specifications.

[0049] According to the machining height requirements of the automobile wheel hub tube, the second motor 901 of the height adjustment component 9 is activated. The second motor 901 drives the lead screw 902 to rotate. The nut 904, which is threaded to the lead screw 902, drives the support box 8 to slide up and down along the dovetail groove 6 on one side of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1, thereby adjusting the overall height of the tapping assembly mechanism 14 to ensure that the drill bit or tap can accurately contact the machining surface at the top of the automobile wheel hub tube.

[0050] To accommodate the different hole distribution requirements of automotive wheel hub tubes, the adjusting motor 124 of the horizontal adjusting assembly 12 is activated. The adjusting motor 124 drives the turntable 122 to rotate via the fixed shaft 123. The arc-shaped elongated sliding hole 125 on the turntable 122 guides the rotating bearing 143 of the tapping assembly 14, causing the tool holder 141 to slide radially along the sliding groove 15 of the support frame 13 via the slider 144. The four tapping assemblies 14 synchronously adjust their horizontal spacing to adapt to the processing requirements of different hole layouts. During the horizontal movement of the four tapping assemblies 14, their tops pull the sliding sleeve 111 via the bottom universal joint 114, allowing the sliding rod 112 inside the sliding sleeve 111 to extend. With the combined action of the top universal joint 113 on the sliding rod 112 and the bottom universal joint 114 connected to the sliding sleeve 111, the positions of the four tapping assemblies 14 can be adjusted synchronously without adjusting the drive assembly 10.

[0051] After the drive motor 101 of the drive assembly 10 starts, it drives the drive gear 102 to rotate. The drive gear 102 meshes and drives the four driven gears 103 to rotate synchronously. The driven gears 103 transmit power to the transmission assembly 11 through the connecting shaft 104. The top universal joint 113, slide rod 112, slide sleeve 111 and bottom universal joint 114 of the transmission assembly 11 form a flexible transmission structure, which not only ensures that the power is stably transmitted to the tool holder 141, but also adapts to the positional deviation of the tool holder 141 during the horizontal adjustment process, ensuring that the drill bit or tap continues to rotate. Next, the second motor 901 in the height adjustment assembly 9 continues to work. The second motor 901 drives the lead screw 902 to rotate. The nut 904 threadedly connected to the lead screw 902 drives the support box 8 to move down. The tapping assembly 14 in the support box 8 moves down synchronously, so that the rotating drill bit or tap contacts the workpiece surface and begins drilling or tapping. Four tapping combination mechanisms 14 operate synchronously, greatly improving processing efficiency. During the processing, the rotary bearing 143 outside the tool holder 141 ensures the stable rotation of the tool holder 141. The sliding cooperation between the slider 144 and the slide groove 15 in the support frame 13 restricts the movement trajectory of the tool holder 141, avoids processing deviations, and ensures hole position accuracy.

[0052] When adjusting the position of the car wheel hub axle tube, the first motor 503 of the deflection assembly 5 is started. The first motor 503 drives the drive gear 502 to rotate. The drive gear 502 meshes with the gear ring 501 of the inner ring of the tapping assembly worktable 4, causing the tapping assembly worktable 4 to rotate around the support bearing 3. The machining angle of the car wheel hub axle tube is adjusted, and it is transferred to the other side directly below the tapping assembly mechanism 14. Because the drill bit or tap is installed in the tool holder 141, the combined machining of drilling and tapping of the car wheel hub axle tube is achieved through the alternating operation of the tapping assembly mechanisms 14 on both sides of the multi-axis tapping assembly frame 1. After the machining of the car wheel hub axle tube is completed, the height adjustment assembly 9 drives the support box 8 to reset upward, the tapping assembly mechanism 14 disengages from the workpiece, and the small motor 173 of the clamping adjustment assembly 17 rotates in reverse, driving the pressure plate 186 to release the workpiece. The operator takes out the machined workpiece.
