[0037] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the traditional automated setting can only adjust the wheel clamping distance, but cannot fully meet the requirements of the clamping method and angle of the hub and spoke. This is because there may be some slight changes or differences in the shape, material, and size of the hub and spoke, making the clamping method and angle unable to ideally adapt to the specific requirements of each wheel.
[0038] Therefore, in order to solve the problem of unstable clamping, it is necessary to improve the automobile assembly process equipment. Based on this, the present application provides a wheel clamping device, including a load-bearing component 1 for transporting a wheel, a clamping component 2 arranged at the load-bearing component 1, and a contact plate 3 arranged in the middle of the clamping component 2, which is used to clamp the wheel;
[0039] The load-bearing component 1 includes a load-bearing plate 11, a mounting area 12 is provided in the middle of the load-bearing plate 11, a convex ring 14 protruding outward is provided on the inner side of the mounting area 12, and the convex ring 14 is adapted to the clamping component 2 for limiting the clamping component 2;
[0040] The clamping assembly 2 includes a clamping plate 22, and a slide groove 21 is formed on the outer side of the clamping plate 22, and the slide groove 21 is adapted to the convex ring 14 of the mounting area 12;
[0041] Slide rails 24 are provided on both sides of the clamping plate 22 , and a clamping frame 23 is slidably connected to the inner side of the slide rail 24 . An abutment block 28 is provided on the inner side of the clamping frame 23 for abutting against the spokes of the wheel.
[0042] The load-bearing assembly 1 includes a load-bearing plate 11, and a mounting area 12 is provided in the middle of the load-bearing plate 11. A convex ring 14 protruding outward is designed inside the mounting area 12, and the convex ring 14 is adapted to the clamping assembly 2 to restrict the clamping assembly 2. The design of the load-bearing plate 11 enables the clamping assembly 2 to be stably mounted thereon.
[0043] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5The clamping assembly 2 includes a clamping plate 22, and a slide groove 21 is formed on the outer side of the clamping plate 22, and the slide groove 21 is adapted to the convex ring 14 of the mounting area 12. This design allows the clamping plate 22 to slide in the mounting area 12, thereby adjusting the position of the clamping plate 22 to adapt to wheels of different sizes and shapes.
[0044] Slide rails 24 are provided on both sides of the clamping plate 22, and the inner sides of the slide rails 24 are slidably connected with the clamping frame 23. The inner side of the clamping frame 23 is provided with a resistance block 28 for resisting the wheel spoke. Through the combination of the slide rails 24 and the clamping frame 23, the wheel spokes can be clamped and kept stable, ensuring that they will not be displaced or loosened during the assembly process.
[0045] The wheel clamping device can provide a stable and effective clamping function through reasonable design and structure, making the wheel installation on the assembly line more accurate and reliable. By adjusting the position and clamping force of the clamping plate 22, the assembly worker can adjust it according to specific requirements and wheel characteristics to meet the clamping requirements of different wheels.
[0046] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 Slip rings 15 are provided on both sides of the convex ring 14 , and the slip rings 15 are adapted to the clamping assembly 2 for fixing the clamping assembly 2 .
[0047] The design of the slip ring 15 enables the clamping assembly 2 to be firmly fixed on the convex ring 14 of the load-bearing assembly 1, thereby ensuring the stability and reliability of the clamping device.
[0048] See also Figure 2 A blocking cover 25 is installed in the middle of the clamping assembly 2, and the blocking cover 25 is adapted to the contact plate 3.
[0049] The setting of the stopper 25 further enhances the fixing performance of the clamping device to the wheel. The cooperation between the stopper 25 and the abutment plate 3 can effectively limit the movement of the wheel and ensure that the wheel is in a stable position during the assembly process.
[0050] This improved wheel clamping device can provide a more stable and reliable clamping effect through the fixation of the sliding ring 15 and the cooperation of the blocking cover 25. The clamping assembly 2 is fixed on the convex ring 14 of the load-bearing assembly 1 without loosening or misalignment, ensuring the stability of the clamping device. The setting of the blocking cover 25 enhances the restriction and fixation of the device on the wheel, so that the clamping device can more accurately fix the position of the wheel during the assembly process.
[0051] See also Figure 1 and Figure 4 Two symmetrically arranged docking holes 13 are provided on one side of the load-bearing plate 11, and the two docking holes 13 are connected to the transport components.
[0052] Two docking holes 13 are added on one side of the load-bearing plate 11, so that the transport component can be tightly combined with the clamping device. The clamping device can safely and conveniently fix the wheel by connecting with the transport component, so that it meets the requirements of moving and fixing the wheel during transportation and assembly.
[0053] The connection between the wheel clamping device and the transport component can be made by various forms of mechanical connection or other adaptation methods to ensure the firmness and stability of the connection. In this way, the transport process and wheel fixing process on the assembly line can be carried out more efficiently and smoothly, improving production efficiency and quality.
[0054] See also Figure 3 A cavity is provided on the inner side of the clamping plate 22 , and two telescopic members 26 are provided on the inner side of the cavity. A driving component 27 is restricted between the two telescopic members 26 . The driving component 27 drives the contact plate 3 to drive the card frame 23 to rotate around the slide rail 24 .
[0055] The design of the inner cavity of the clamping plate 22 makes the device more flexible and adaptable. The driving component 27 is located between the telescopic members 26 and transmits the driving force through the contact plate 3. When the driving component 27 is activated, the contact plate 3 is driven to drive the clamping frame 23 to rotate around the slide rail 24, thereby achieving the clamping operation of the wheel.
[0056] The driving component 27 is generally a component composed of one or more components used for driving in the mechanical field, such as a driving motor, and is preferably a double-rod motor in terms of usage;
[0057] With this design, the clamping device can be adjusted and adapted to the needs of the specific wheel. The flexibility of the telescopic member 26 and the driving force of the driving member 27 can ensure a robust and accurate clamping of wheels of different sizes and shapes. The assembler can make adjustments according to the specific requirements and wheel characteristics to ensure the correct fixation of the wheel during the entire assembly process.
[0058] See also Figure 6 , Figure 7 as well as Figure 8 The abutment plate 3 includes a plate body 31 , one side of the plate body 31 is provided with one or more annular card blocks 33 , one side of the card block 33 is open and adapted to one end of the card frame 23 .
[0059] The design of the clamping block 33 can ensure a tight fit between the abutment plate 3 and the clamping frame 23, thereby enhancing the fixing effect of the clamping device on the wheel.
[0060] Combination holes 34 are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the clamping block 33 . Fasteners are inserted into the inner sides of the combination holes 34 . One ends of the two fasteners are in contact with the outer side of the clamping frame 23 .
[0061] One end of the fastener abuts against the outer side of the clamping frame 23, further strengthening the connection between the abutting plate 3 and the clamping frame 23 and ensuring the stability and reliability of the clamping device.
[0062] A plug hole 32 is provided in the middle of the plate body 31 . The plug hole 32 is adapted to the output shaft of the driving component 27 and is used to drive the card frame 23 to rotate along the slide rail 24 .
[0063] By setting up such a driving mechanism, the abutment plate 3 can realize precise control of the clamping frame 23 through the driving component 27, so that the clamping force and position of the clamping device can be adjusted as needed.
[0064] See also Figure 8 The clamping frame 23 includes a frame body 231, and a threaded rod 232 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the frame body 231. The rod body of the threaded rod 232 is adapted to the abutment block 28 for adjusting the position of the abutment block 28 on the threaded rod 232 so as to abut and clamp wheels of different sizes.
[0065] The rod body of the threaded rod 232 is adapted to the abutment block 28 and is used to adjust the position of the abutment block 28 on the threaded rod 232 so as to produce an abutment and clamping effect with wheels of different sizes.
[0066] The threaded rod 232 serves as a rotational connection, and the frame 231 can be adjusted relative to the abutment block 28. By rotating the threaded rod 232, the position of the abutment block 28 on the threaded rod 232 can be changed, so that the clamping device can adapt to wheels of different sizes. By adjusting the position of the abutment block 28, it can be ensured that accurate abutment is generated with the wheel during the clamping process, thereby achieving the clamping of the wheel.
[0067] The fit between the threaded rod 232 and the abutment block 28 ensures the accuracy and stability of the adjustment. During the adjustment process, the abutment block 28 can be moved up and down on the threaded rod 232 by rotating the threaded rod 232 to achieve the tightening and release of the wheel. This adjustable design eliminates the need for additional adjustment or replacement of parts between different wheel sizes, thereby improving the flexibility and efficiency of the assembly line.
[0068] In summary, by introducing the threaded rod 232 and the abutment block 28 into the clamping frame 23 and adjusting the position of the abutment block 28 on the threaded rod 232, the improved wheel clamping device has a wider adaptability and adjustment capability. The rotation of the threaded rod 232 enables the clamping device to adapt to wheels of different sizes, and a stable clamping effect is achieved through the abutment between the abutment block 28 and the wheel.
[0069] The above description is only an embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent substitution, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
