[0002] The wheel is a rigid wheel that fixes the inner edge of the tire, supports the tire, and bears the load together with the tire. The tire, rim, and spokes combined together are collectively called wheels. The wheel assembly consists of two major components: the wheel and the tire. When the wheel is produced, the rim will be expanded to improve the situation of the ring-shaped embossing on the rim. Usually, before expanding the rim with an expansion head, the rim needs to be centered and placed so that the rim and the expansion head are aligned.

For example, multiple cylinders distributed in a circular array are pushed toward the center at the same time to move the rim to the center position.

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all of the embodiments.

[0020] A rim expansion and forming device comprises a frame, a workbench 1, an expansion head 2, a lifting mechanism and a centering mechanism;

[0021] The workbench 1 is fixedly mounted horizontally on the frame;

[0022] The expansion head 2 is installed on the frame through a lifting mechanism to move vertically, and the expansion head 2 is located above the workbench 1. The expansion head 2 adopts the existing technology and is used to expand the rim;

[0023] The centering mechanism is installed on the workbench 1, and includes at least three push blocks 4 sliding on the upper end of the workbench 1. The at least three push blocks 4 are distributed in a circular array around the horizontal projection of the expansion head 2 on the workbench 1. The at least three push blocks 4 are driven to slide by a mechanical synchronization mechanism, and the sliding direction of the push blocks 4 is along the radius direction of the circular area surrounded by the at least three push blocks 4.

[0024] At least three push blocks 4 in a circular array are slidably arranged on the workbench 1, and the multiple push blocks 4 are driven to move synchronously by the same mechanical drive synchronization mechanism, thereby pushing the rim to move toward the center for centering. The utility model can easily realize the synchronous movement of multiple push blocks 4 and improve the accuracy of centering.

[0025] A preferred technical solution, the mechanical synchronization mechanism includes a turntable 11, a rotating shaft, a sliding member 8, a connecting rod 10 and a cylinder 13, the turntable 11 is rotatably installed on the lower end of the workbench 1 through the rotating shaft, the rotating shaft and the expansion head 2 are located on the same vertical line, and the turntable 11 is surrounded by sliding members 8 with the same number as the push block 4, the sliding members 8 are connected to the push block 4 one by one, and the sliding members 8 are slidably installed on the lower end of the workbench 1 through the slide rail 9, and the turntable 11 is provided with a connecting column 12 with the same number as the sliding member 8 distributed in a circular array around the rotating shaft, the sliding member 8 is hinged with the corresponding connecting column 12 through an inclined connecting rod 10, and one of the sliding members 8 is pushed to slide by the cylinder 13 installed at the lower end of the workbench 1.

[0026] The cylinder 13 pushes a sliding member 8 to move, and the sliding member 8 drives the turntable 11 to rotate through the corresponding connecting rod 10, thereby driving the remaining sliding members 8 to move synchronously through the remaining connecting rods 10. Furthermore, since the sliding member 8 is connected to the push block 4, the synchronous sliding of multiple push blocks 4 is achieved. Through this solution, it is easy to achieve synchronous sliding of multiple push blocks 4 by driving only one cylinder 13.

[0027] According to a preferred technical solution, a push rod 5 is extended outward from the outer end of the push block 4, and the length direction of the push rod 5 is parallel to the sliding direction of the push block 4. The upper end of the workbench 1 has a guide sleeve 6 matching the push rod 5, and the outer end of the push rod 5 passes through the guide sleeve 6 and extends out of the edge of the workbench 1. The outer end of the sliding member 8 corresponding to the push block 4 extends out of the edge of the workbench 1 and is fixedly connected to the outer end of the corresponding push rod 5 above through a vertically arranged driving rod 7.

[0028] The outer ends of the push rod 5 and the sliding member 8 are both extended out of the edge of the workbench 1 and are fixedly connected via the driving rod 7. Through this structure, the workbench 1 can have a thicker thickness and thus withstand greater pressure.

[0029] According to a preferred technical solution, the cylinder 13 is installed at the lower end of the workbench 1, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder 13 extends inwardly, and a connecting frame 14 extending inwardly is fixedly connected to the sliding member 8 connected to the cylinder 13, and the telescopic rod of the cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 14.

[0030] Through this solution, the cylinder 13 is arranged at the lower end of the workbench 1, which reduces the footprint of the entire device and when the telescopic rod of the cylinder 13 is pushed out, the sliding member 8 moves inward to push the rim. The telescopic rod of the cylinder 13 has greater force when extended than when retracted, so it can have greater force to push the rim.

[0031] According to a preferred technical solution, the lifting mechanism comprises a hydraulic cylinder 3 vertically mounted on a frame, and a telescopic rod of the hydraulic cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the expansion head 2 downward.
