Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of vehicle accessories production tooling, in particular to a vehicle wheel cover feeding tooling. Background Art
[0002] Wheel covers are installed outside car tires. Wheel covers not only increase the beauty of the car, but also enhance the protection of the tires when they are scratched. Car wheel covers are often produced by stamping. By using upper and lower molds and side clamping blocks, they are used to produce wheel covers with complex structures. After stamping, the wheel covers need to be punched and trimmed. Because the wheel cover shape is designed to match the tire and is semicircular, it is not easy to clamp the existing tooling. Therefore, when punching, the punching and feeding are mostly done by the operator, which is inefficient and extremely labor-intensive. Therefore, improvements are needed. Utility Model Content

[0014] In order to make the above-mentioned purposes, features and advantages of the utility model more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the utility model are described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the utility model. However, the utility model can be implemented in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the connotation of the utility model, so the utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0015] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" or "disposed on" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only and do not represent the only implementation method.
[0016] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.
[0017] like Figures 1-2As shown, a loading tool for automobile wheel cover includes a frame 1, a guide rail 2 and a screw assembly 3 are arranged on the top of the frame 1, a slide 4 is movably connected to the guide rail 2, the output end of the screw assembly 3 is connected to the top of the slide 4, and the slide 4 is driven to make reciprocating linear motion along the guide rail 2. A limit stopper 5 is also arranged at the end of the slide 4, and a turntable 6 is installed on the side of the slide 5 away from the screw assembly 3, and a plurality of clamping members 7 are arranged on the turntable 6. Specifically, in this embodiment, the frame 1 adopts a frame structure to reduce costs and ensure structural strength. The slide 4 is used as a carrier to transport the clamping members 7. In this application, the screw assembly 3 is used to drive the slide 4 to make reciprocating linear motion along the guide rail 2 to realize the transportation of the workpiece over a long distance, which is convenient for loading and unloading. In other embodiments, an electric push rod or a cylinder drive can be used. A side-mounted turntable 6 is installed on the slide 4, and two clamping members 7 are arranged on the turntable 6. The clamping members 7 are used to clamp the workpiece wheel cover. Because the wheel cover is semicircular, in order to ensure that the position of the workpiece is consistent each time it is clamped, we set a limit stop 5 on the edge of the slide to abut the edge of the workpiece to ensure that the rotation angle of the workpiece is consistent each time it is clamped. After clamping, the slide 4 moves along the guide rail 2 to transport the workpiece to the stamping station for punching. When the punching of the current position of the workpiece is completed, the turntable 6 rotates according to the preset program to rotate the workpiece by a certain angle to perform punching operations at other positions. Punching and forming are achieved in one time, and there is no need for secondary clamping for multiple punchings, which improves work efficiency. The loading and punching are fully automated to reduce labor costs.
[0018] like Figure 3 As shown, the clamping member 7 includes a mounting frame 71, a cylinder 72, a lower clamping jaw 73 and an upper clamping jaw 74. The mounting frame 71 is connected to the movable end of the turntable 6, the cylinder 72 is fixed to the upper end of the mounting frame 71, and the lower clamping jaw 73 is fixed to the lower end of the mounting frame 71. The output end of the cylinder 72 is connected to the upper clamping jaw 74 to drive it to approach or move away from the lower clamping jaw 73. Specifically, in this embodiment, when clamping a workpiece, the cylinder 72 drives the upper clamping jaw 74 to move upward and separate from the lower clamping jaw 73, and then the side of the workpiece is conveniently clamped between the upper clamping jaw 74 and the lower clamping jaw 73. After clamping is completed, the cylinder 72 drives the upper clamping jaw 74 to descend, so that the workpiece can be clamped, and the clamping is extremely convenient and quick.
[0019] like Figure 3 As shown, the mounting frame 71 is built with a guide column 711, and the guide column 711 movably passes through both ends of the upper clamping jaw 74. When the cylinder 72 drives the upper clamping jaw 74 to move up and down, it will not deviate or misalign, ensuring that it can cooperate with the lower clamping jaw 73 to accurately clamp the edge of the workpiece.
[0020] like Figures 1-2As shown, the position-limiting stopper 5 comprises a hydraulic cylinder 51 and a position-limiting baffle 52. The hydraulic cylinder 51 is installed on the side of the slide 4. The output end of the hydraulic cylinder 51 is movably connected to the rear end of the position-limiting baffle 52. The rear end of the position-limiting baffle 52 is also movably connected to the side of the slide 4 through a pin. Specifically, in this embodiment, when the output end of the hydraulic cylinder 51 is extended, the position-limiting baffle 52 can be driven to move closer to the workpiece side. When clamping the workpiece, the semicircular end of the workpiece is abutted against the plate surface of the position-limiting baffle 52, thereby limiting the clamping orientation of the workpiece. After clamping, when the turntable 6 drives the workpiece to rotate, the hydraulic cylinder 51 is reset, which can drive the position-limiting baffle 52 to rotate away from the workpiece to avoid blocking the workpiece from rotating.
[0021] like Figure 1 As shown, limit sensors 8 are also provided at both ends of the guide rail 2 to limit the position of the slide 4 and prevent the slide 4 from derailing and falling.
[0022] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the frame 1 is also provided with a workpiece rotating disk 11, which is convenient for removing the workpiece after the punching operation is completed or a fault occurs, placing the workpiece on the workpiece rotating disk 11 for inspection or directly rotating to the next station for edge trimming, thereby improving operation efficiency.
[0023] The above-mentioned embodiments only express several implementation methods of the utility model, and the description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the utility model, which all belong to the protection scope of the utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the utility model patent shall be based on the attached claims.
