[0037] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 The present invention will be described in further detail below.
[0038] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1 Detailed description: A method for casting alloy automotive wheel hubs, the method comprising the following steps:
[0039] Step 1: Design the mold cavity and machine the mold cavity of the required shape;
[0040] Step 2: The raw materials are melted into liquid at the furnace temperature according to the proportion and flowed into the mold cavity for solidification and molding.
[0041] Step 3: The liquid metal is poured into the mold to solidify, and the solidified liquid metal is then descrambled.
[0042] Step 4: Heat-treat the dehulled raw material and spray the desired dyeing coating onto the heat-treated material.
[0043] Step 5: Assemble the materials and use a drilling device to machine multiple mounting holes in the assembled materials;
[0044] Step 6: Polish the material after drilling to complete the casting of the alloy car wheel hub.
[0045] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 2 Detailed description: The drilling method of the alloy automobile wheel hub casting process includes the following steps:
[0046] S1. Place the assembled wheel hub directly under the cross support plate 101;
[0047] S2. Start the reduction motor 104 to drive the linkage gear 105 to rotate;
[0048] S3, The linkage gear 105 can drive multiple perforated gears 103 to rotate.
[0049] S4. Multiple perforated gears 103 will drive multiple rotating drill bits 102 to rotate.
[0050] S5. Move the multiple rotating drill bits 102 toward the hub to machine multiple mounting holes onto the hub.
[0051] According to the instruction manual Figure 1 In detail, the purpose of the heat treatment is to give the alloy stronger properties.
[0052] According to the instruction manual Figure 3-6 In detail, multiple rotary drill bits 102 are rotatably connected to the cross support plate 101 through multiple bearing holes. Each rotary drill bit 102 is fixedly connected to a perforated gear 103 by welding. A reduction motor 104 is fixedly connected to the cross support plate 101 through a flange plate. The output shaft of the reduction motor 104 is rotatably connected to the cross support plate 101 through a round hole. A linkage gear 105 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reduction motor 104 through a keyway and a snap ring. The linkage gear 105 meshes with the multiple perforated gears 103 for transmission.
[0053] Furthermore, the cross support plate 101 serves as a load-bearing connection, providing space for the rotation of multiple rotary drill bits 102. The rotation of these drill bits 102 allows multiple mounting holes to be machined onto the hub. Each rotary drill bit 102 has a vertical hole and multiple horizontal holes that are interconnected. Coolant can be added to the vertical hole on the rotary drill bit 102, and then discharged through the multiple horizontal holes, achieving a cooling effect without the need for external cooling components. The center of each of the perforated gears 103 is also provided with a circular hole, which is connected to the vertical circular hole on the rotary drill bit 102. Coolant is added to the vertical circular hole on the rotary drill bit 102 through the circular hole on the perforated gear 103. The multiple perforated gears 103 can drive the multiple rotary drill bits 102 to rotate. After the reduction motor 104 is started, it can drive the linkage gear 105 to rotate. The rotating linkage gear 105 will simultaneously drive the multiple perforated gears 103 to rotate, ultimately driving the multiple rotary drill bits 102 to rotate and complete the machining of multiple mounting circular holes.
[0054] The assembled wheel hub is placed under the cross support plate 101, ensuring that the wheel hub is directly below the multiple rotary drill bits 102. The reduction motor 104 is started, driving the linkage gear 105 to rotate. The rotating linkage gear 105 will simultaneously drive the multiple perforated gears 103 to rotate, ultimately driving the multiple rotary drill bits 102 to rotate. After the multiple rotary drill bits 102 have rotated, the cross support plate 101 is moved downwards, allowing the rotating rotary drill bits 102 to contact the wheel hub and move downwards, completing the machining of the multiple mounting holes. On the hub, when multiple rotary drill bits 102 move downwards, coolant is added to the vertical holes on the multiple rotary drill bits 102 through the round holes on the multiple perforated gears 103. Finally, the coolant will be discharged through the multiple horizontal round holes on the multiple rotary drill bits 102, which can achieve the cooling treatment of the multiple rotary drill bits 102 and ensure that the multiple rotary drill bits 102 are in a low temperature state for drilling. If the multiple rotary drill bits 102 are not cooled, they may become soft, affecting the drilling efficiency.
[0055] According to the instruction manual Figure 3-5 Detailed description of section 7: A horizontal support ring 201 is fixedly connected to the horizontal support connecting plate 101 by welding. A liquid storage cavity 202 is fixedly connected to the horizontal support ring 201 by welding. Multiple drainage vertical pipes 203 are fixedly connected to and communicate with the liquid storage cavity 202 by welding. The multiple drainage vertical pipes 203 are slidably connected to multiple perforated gears 103 respectively. A sliding cover 204 with a tube is slidably connected to the liquid storage cavity 202 through a straight cavity.
[0056] Furthermore, the horizontal support ring 201 provides a fixed space for the liquid storage cavity 202, which can store a large amount of coolant. The coolant in the liquid storage cavity 202 can be discharged through multiple drain risers 203, each equipped with a valve. After opening the valves on the multiple drain risers 203, the coolant in the liquid storage cavity 202 will be discharged through the multiple drain risers 203 and enter the vertical circular holes on the multiple rotary drill bits 102. Finally, it can be discharged through the multiple horizontal circular holes on the multiple rotary drill bits 102, thereby cooling the multiple rotary drill bits 102. The tube-mounted sliding cover 204 can block and seal the opening above the liquid storage cavity 202, preventing debris from entering the liquid storage cavity 202. The tube-mounted sliding cover 204 is equipped with a vertical circular tube, through which coolant is added to the liquid storage cavity 202.
[0057] According to the instruction manual Figure 3 , 4 Detailed descriptions in sections 8 and 9: Two lifting slide plates 301 are slidably connected to the horizontal support plate 101 via a sliding groove. Each of the two lifting slide plates 301 is fixedly connected to a support table 302 by welding. Two telescopic rods I303 are fixedly connected to the support table 302 via flange plates. Both telescopic rods I303 are fixedly connected to the horizontal support plate 101 via flange plates.
[0058] Furthermore, the two lifting slide plates 301 provide sliding space for the horizontal support plate 101, ensuring that the horizontal support plate 101 can only slide up and down. The support table 302 plays a role in bearing and connecting, providing support and fixation for the entire device, ensuring that the device can be placed stably on the ground. The support table 302 also provides fixed space for the two lifting slide plates 301. After activating the two telescopic rods I303, the horizontal support plate 101 can be moved downward, allowing the multiple rotating drill bits 102 to contact the wheel hub for feeding purposes, thus enabling the machining of multiple mounting holes onto the wheel hub.
[0059] According to the instruction manual Figure 3 , 4 In detail in section 8, each of the two lifting slide plates 301 is fixedly connected to a telescopic rod II 401 via a flange plate. The inner ends of each of the two telescopic rod II 401 are fixedly connected to a centering curved plate 402 via a flange plate. Each of the two centering curved plates 402 is fixedly connected to two transverse limiting sliding columns 403 by welding. The two sets of two transverse limiting sliding columns 403 are slidably connected to the two lifting slide plates 301 through through holes.
[0060] Furthermore, after activating the two telescopic rods II401, the two centering plates 402 can be moved inward simultaneously. The two centering plates 402 can be used to fix and center the hub, ensuring that the hub is directly below the multiple rotating drill bits 102. This ensures that the positions of the multiple mounting holes are accurate. The two sets of two transverse limiting pins 403 can be used to limit the movement of the two centering plates 402, ensuring that the two centering plates 402 can only slide laterally.
[0061] According to the instruction manual Figure 3 , 9 In detail with reference to 10, the support table 302 is slidably connected to a horizontal support slide plate 501 via a slide groove, and the horizontal support slide plate 501 is evenly provided with two material leakage holes 502.
[0062] Furthermore, the transverse support slide 501 provides space for the wheel hub, while the two discharge holes 502 provide space for the waste material and coolant from drilling to drain, preventing waste material and coolant from accumulating inside the wheel hub. Two wheel hubs can be placed on the transverse support slide 501. By sliding the transverse support slide 501, the positions of the two wheel hubs can be changed, ensuring that the two wheel hubs can be moved directly under the multiple rotary drill bits 102. When processing one wheel hub, the other wheel hub is placed on the transverse support slide 501. After processing, the transverse support slide 501 is slid to change the position of the processed wheel hub, moving the unprocessed wheel hub directly under the multiple rotary drill bits 102. The processed wheel hub is then removed, and a new wheel hub is placed on the transverse support slide 501. This improves the efficiency of drilling multiple mounting holes for the wheel hub.
[0063] According to the instruction manual Figure 3 , 9 In detail with reference to 10, a recycling bin 601 is fixedly connected to the support table 302 by welding, a horizontal drain pipe 602 is fixedly connected to the recycling bin 601 by welding and connected to it, and a filter plate 603 is slidably connected inside the recycling bin 601 through a straight cavity.
[0064] Furthermore, the empty recycling bin 601 provides a space for storing the drilled waste and coolant. The horizontal drain pipe 602 drains the coolant that enters the empty recycling bin 601. A water pump can transfer the coolant discharged through the horizontal drain pipe 602 to the vertical round pipe on the sliding cover 204, thus achieving the recycling and reuse of the coolant. The filter plate 603 separates the drilled waste and coolant. The drilled waste will remain on the filter plate 603, while the coolant will enter the empty recycling bin 601.
[0065] According to the instruction manual Figure 3 , 9In detail with reference to 10, the empty recycling bin 601 is fixedly connected to a bearing seat 701 by welding, and a transverse lead screw 702 is rotatably connected to the bearing seat 701 through a bearing hole. The transverse lead screw 702 is connected to the transverse support slide plate 501 by a thread.
[0066] Furthermore, a geared motor II is fixedly connected to the bearing housing 701. The output shaft of the geared motor II is fixedly connected to the transverse lead screw 702. After the geared motor II is started, it can drive the transverse lead screw 702 to rotate. The rotating transverse lead screw 702 will drive the transverse support slide plate 501 to slide back and forth, thereby changing the position of the two wheel hubs on the transverse support slide plate 501. In this way, the continuous machining of multiple mounting holes on multiple wheel hubs can be completed.
