First electric push rods 7 are provided on the sides of the two support plates 6 respectively, and the telescopic ends of the two first electric push rods 7 are connected with arc blocks 11. The two arc blocks 11 fix the brake disc 8 in the middle position of the turntable 3. The frame 1 is arranged on the side of the base 2, and a second electric push rod 13 is provided on the lower side of the top of the frame 17. The telescopic end of the second electric push rod 13 is facing downward, and a through hole 14 is provided on the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 13. The diameter of the through hole 14 is slightly larger than the diameter of the positioning pin 5, and the axis of the second electric push rod 13 coincides with the axis of the positioning pin 5. The controller 15 is arranged on the side of the base 2, and the motor 9, the first electric push rod 7, the second electric push rod 13 are electrically connected to the controller 15.

[0026] When the wheel hub bearing 12 is pressed onto the brake disc 8, the brake disc 8 is first placed on the top surface of the turntable 3, and multiple mounting bolts on one side of the brake disc 8 are placed in the circular groove 10, and then the first electric push rod 7 is started, and the telescopic end of the first electric push rod 7 moves toward the middle, thereby driving the arc block 11 to move toward the middle, and the two arc blocks 11 clamp the brake disc 8 and fix it, and then the wheel hub bearing 12 is inserted into the positioning pin 5, so that the wheel hub bearing 12 is aligned with the middle mounting hole of the brake disc 8. At this time, lubricating oil is applied to the wheel hub bearing 12, which is conducive to the press-fitting of the wheel hub bearing 12, and then the second electric push rod 13 is started, and the second electric push rod 13 moves downward until the bottom surface of the end portion abuts against the outer ring of the wheel hub bearing 12. At this time, the through hole 14 at the telescopic end of the second electric push rod 13 is inserted into the positioning pin 5, and the second electric push rod 13 continues to move downward to press the wheel hub bearing 12 into the brake disc 8, completing the press-fitting operation of the wheel hub bearing 12, and the controller 15 controls the second electric push rod 13 to automatically reset.

[0027] Preferably, the detection mechanism includes a third electric push rod 16, a bracket 17, a nut 28, a slider 23, a dial indicator 18, a pressure plate 24 and a bolt 19, wherein the third electric push rod 16 is arranged on the upper lower side of the frame 1, the telescopic end of the third electric push rod 16 passes through the bracket 17 and is screwed with the nut 28, the top surface of the bracket 17 is provided with a first long hole 21, the side surface of the bracket 17 is provided with a second long hole 22, the slider 23 is arranged in the second long hole 22, the dial indicator 18 is slidably penetrated through the slider 23, the pressure plate 24 abuts against the side of the bracket 17, and the bolt 19 passes through the pressure plate 24 and is screwed with the slider 23.

By adjusting the position of the slider 23 in the second long hole 22 of the bracket 17, the detection pointer of the dial indicator 18 is brought into contact with the outer ring end face of the wheel hub bearing 12, and then the bolt 19 and the nut 28 are tightened, and then the first electric push rod 7 is started. The first electric push rod 7 resets the arc block 11, and then the motor 9 is started. The motor 9 drives the turntable 3 to rotate together, thereby driving the brake disc 8 and the wheel hub bearing 12 to rotate, rotate at least one circle, observe and record the dial indicator 18, and complete the detection of the runout of the wheel hub bearing 12.
