Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of protective devices, in particular to a protective tooling for a central hole of an aluminum alloy wheel hub. Background Art

[0002] At present, aluminum alloy wheels need to go through processes such as die-casting, heat treatment, disinfection and spraying during production. During the spraying process, the paint sprayed is powder and then heated to harden its surface. This treatment will slightly change the aperture on the wheel, resulting in problems during later assembly. Currently, hole expansion and masking balls are mainly used to ensure that the aperture on the aluminum alloy wheel remains unchanged.

[0022] The utility model number is CN213529225U, which is a protective device for the powder coating installation surface of an aluminum alloy wheel hub (hereinafter referred to as "the patent"). The application scheme is only applicable to single-hole wheel hubs and has restrictions on the wheel hub aperture. It cannot take into account wheel hubs with various apertures and wheel hubs with multiple wheel hub holes. The patent uses an expandable and shrinkable airbag (2-3) to block the wheel hub hole, so that the patent can cope with wheel hub holes of various aperture sizes and can be flexibly arranged according to the number of wheel hub holes on the wheel hub, thereby effectively coping with the situation where multiple wheel hub apertures and multiple wheel hub holes are provided on a wheel hub.

[0023] The structure of the second embodiment is basically the same as that of the first embodiment, except that Figure 5 As shown, a blind hole is provided at the lower part of the connecting female end 1-4, and the blind hole is a socket position for sleeve-fitting the connecting plug 2-1, so that the electrically controlled telescopic locking plate 1-5 can be embedded in the locking groove 2-2 for locking. A push rod 1-4-2 is fixedly installed at the top center of the blind hole, and four to eight charging and discharging ports 1-4-1 are arranged at equal intervals around the push rod 1-4-2.

The diameter of the main ventilation pipe 2-1-5 is larger than that of the connecting pipe 2-1-1. A grille plate 2-1-4 is provided at the middle section of the main ventilation pipe 2-1-5. The two ends of the return spring 2-1-3 respectively abut against the grille plate 2-1-4 and the sealing top plate 2-1-2.

The grille plate 2-1-4 itself is a plurality of single columns arranged side by side, and gaps are left between the single columns to facilitate air to pass through.

[0025] In order to further optimize the working efficiency of the present application and improve the strength of the airbag 2-3 itself, the airbag 2-3 is made of EPDM rubber with a thickness of not less than four millimeters and the upper and lower parts of the airbag 2-3 are thickened to five millimeters. In order to further improve the sealing performance of the sealing top plate 2-1-2, a sealing rubber ring is provided on the edge of the sealing top plate 2-1-2. In order to make it easier for the present patent to be installed on the robot arm, a threaded hole is provided on the side of the connecting female end 1-4.

[0026] When in use, install the protective component deployment device 1 of the aluminum alloy wheel hub center hole protection tooling onto the robotic arm, and then neatly arrange multiple protective components 2 on the frame for standby use. After connecting the corresponding pipelines, the equipment can be put into use.

[0027] When the utility model is in use, the specific operations are as follows:

[0028] When in use, the observation device on the robot arm first observes the specific position of the aluminum alloy wheel hub and the angle of the wheel hub hole relative to the wheel hub. The robot arm moves the protective component deployment device 1 installed on it to the top of the protective component 2, and then aligns the connecting female end 1-4 with the connecting plug 2-1 of the protective component 2. The robot arm moves down, and the connecting female end 1-4 is covered with the connecting plug 2-1. The electrically controlled telescopic locking plate 1-5 extends out and snaps into the side of the connecting plug 2-1 to grasp and lock the protective component 2. At the same time, the push rod 1-4-2 is inserted into the connecting pipe 2-1-1 of the connecting plug 2-1 and The sealing top plate 2-1-2 is pushed to compress the return spring 2-1-3, so that the passage between the connecting pipe 2-1-1 and the main ventilation pipe 2-1-5 is opened; the robot arm lifts the protection component 2 through the protection component deployment device 1, and then moves the protection component 2 to the top of the wheel hub hole that needs to be protected. After the airbag 2-3 is inserted into the wheel hub hole, the electric push rod 1-2 contracts, driving the piston cylinder 1-3 to supply air to the connecting female end 1-4, and the air enters the connecting female end 1-4 through the charging and discharging port 1-4-1 in the connecting female end 1-4, and then the connecting pipe 2-1-1 and the main ventilation pipe 2-1-5 are opened along the passage. The main ventilation pipe 2-1-5 enters the supporting air pipe 2-4, and enters the air bag 2-3 from the ventilation hole 2-6 of the supporting air pipe 2-4, so that the air bag 2-3 expands and fills the wheel hub hole to protect the wheel hub hole. The electrically controlled telescopic locking plate 1-5 is unlocked from the locking groove 2-2, so that the protection component deployment device 1 can be detached. The detached protection component deployment device 1 makes the push rod 1-4-2 inside it no longer exert pressure on the sealing top plate 2-1-2, and the reset spring 2-1-3 can push the sealing top plate 2-1-2 to reseal the connecting pipe 2-1-1 and the main ventilation pipe 2-1-5 to achieve airtightness. To prevent the airbag 2-3 from leaking, the spraying operation can be carried out at this time. After the spraying is completed, the connecting female end 1-4 of the protection component deployment device 1 is re-connected to the connecting plug 2-1, and the electric push rod 1-2 extends outward to drive the piston cylinder 1-3 to start pumping air. The gas in the airbag 2-3 can re-enter the piston cylinder 1-3 from the main ventilation pipe 2-1-5, the connecting pipe 2-1-1 and the charging and discharging port 1-4-1, so that the airbag 2-3 shrinks and detaches from the wheel hub hole. The robotic arm can then pull the protection component 2 out of the wheel hub hole through the protection component deployment device 1, and put it on the bracket waiting for the next use.

[0029] In summary, the aluminum alloy wheel hub center hole protection tooling of the embodiment of the utility model clamps the connecting plug 2-1 of the protection component 2 through the connecting female end 1-4 of the protection component deployment device 1, puts the protection component 2 into the wheel hub hole, and then controls the expandable and shrinkable airbag 2-3 to block the wheel hub hole by pushing and pulling the piston cylinder 1-3 through the electric push rod 1-2, which can effectively protect wheel hub holes of various apertures to prevent powder from entering, and can protect multiple wheel hub holes on a wheel hub at the same time, which can effectively improve the yield rate of wheel hub production.

[0030] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and cannot be understood as limitations on the present application. Ordinary technicians in this field can change, modify, replace and modify the above embodiments within the scope of the present application.
