[0002] The steering knuckle is an important component in the steering axle of an automobile. With the increasing number of automobile types on the market, the types and specifications of supporting steering knuckle products are also increasing. In the production process of automobile steering knuckles, bushing accessories need to be pressed and fitted. Bushing accessories of different specifications are pressed and fitted into the corresponding model of steering knuckle press-fitting holes through a press-fitting machine. Since the appearance and size of bushing accessories of different specifications are basically the same, it is difficult to tell by naked eyes whether the bushing accessories are compatible with the steering knuckle to be pressed. Traditional press-fitting machines lack corresponding error-proofing structures, and it is very easy to use the wrong bushing accessories during the press-fitting process, which poses a great quality risk. If the wrongly installed steering knuckle is sent to the user from the factory, it will cause the user to be unable to install the vehicle normally, causing quality complaints; in serious cases, if the user successfully installs the vehicle, the wrongly installed steering knuckle will bury quality risks and threaten driving safety.
[0003] Based on this, developing a steering knuckle press-fitting error-proof pressure head for application in actual production is an urgent problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0021] In the figure: 1--pressing head body; 11--connecting part; 12--pressing part; 13--pressing head inner core; 14--anti-error pin; 15--tightening ball; 16--detection device; 17--detection bracket; 18--ear plate; 19--installation pin hole. DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0022] 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.
[0023] like Figure 1-2 As shown, a steering knuckle press-fitting error-proofing press head includes a press head body 1, the upper end of the press head body 1 is provided with a connection portion 11 for connecting a press-fitting machine, the lower end of the press head body 1 is provided with a press-fitting portion 12, the press-fitting portion 12 is provided with a press head inner core 13 corresponding to the inner diameter of the bushing accessory, and an error-proofing structure is provided on the press head inner core 13 to prevent the incorrect press-fitting of the bushing accessory. Specifically, the error-proofing structure includes an error-proofing pin 14 axially arranged on the outer diameter of the press head inner core 13, the error-proofing pin 14 is arranged corresponding to the error-proofing groove opened on the inner diameter of the bushing accessory, and the error-proofing pin 14 is slidably matched with the error-proofing groove.
[0024] When in use, align the inner diameter of the bushing accessory with the inner core 13 of the ram and slide it upward. If the anti-error pin 14 on the inner core 13 of the ram can smoothly slide into the anti-error groove of the bushing accessory, so that the bushing accessory is pre-installed in place on the ram body 1, it means that the bushing accessory is not used incorrectly and the press-fitting operation can be performed. On the contrary, if the anti-error groove on the bushing accessory is not compatible with the anti-error pin 14 on the inner core 13 of the ram, the bushing accessory cannot be pre-installed in place smoothly, and the press-fitting machine refuses to perform the press-fitting action. This embodiment provides different types of products with anti-error pins 14 of different shapes and matching anti-error grooves, so that different bushing accessories can only be pre-installed on the corresponding inner core 13 of the ram, thereby achieving anti-error press-fitting of the bushing accessories, ensuring the press-fitting quality of the product, and eliminating quality risks.
[0025] Furthermore, a tightening marble 15 is provided on the inner diameter of the press head inner core 13 corresponding to the bushing accessory, and the tightening marble 15 can be pushed out of the outer diameter of the press head inner core 13, and is used for pre-installation and fixation of the bushing accessory. The tightening marble 15 can be a ball screw on the market, which is radially screwed in the press head inner core 13, and the ball of the ball screw leaks out of the outer diameter of the press head inner core 13. When in use, the inner diameter of the bushing accessory will squeeze the tightening marble 15, so that the tightening marble 15 will retract and tighten on the inner diameter of the bushing accessory, thereby achieving the clamping of the bushing accessory.
[0026] Furthermore, a detection device 16 is provided on the press head body 1 corresponding to the pre-installed bushing accessories. The detection device 16 is communicatively connected to the press machine and is used to detect whether the bushing accessories are pre-installed in place, which serves as a basis for whether the press machine performs the press-fitting action. The detection device 16 is preferably a through-beam sensor, and the through-beam sensor is communicatively connected to the press machine. When the bushing accessories are pre-installed in place, the light beam of the through-beam sensor is blocked, and the through-beam sensor is in an off-circuit state. At this time, the press machine will stand by to perform the press-fitting action. If the bushing accessories are not pre-installed in place, the through-beam sensor is in a through-circuit state, and the press machine refuses to perform the press-fitting action. The press-fitting accuracy of the bushing accessories is further ensured, and malfunctions such as air compression of the press machine are avoided, thereby improving the safety of the operation.
[0027] The pressure head body 1 is connected with a detection bracket 17 for fixing the detection device 16, and the detection device 16 is fixedly connected with the detection bracket 17. The detection bracket 17 is provided with an ear plate 18 for routing the detection device 16 and fixing the wiring harness, thereby improving the structural regularity of the pressure head body 1.
[0028] The outer diameter of the press head inner core 13 corresponds to the inner diameter of the bushing accessory, so that the press head inner core 13 can be used as a radial positioning reference for the bushing accessory, thereby improving the press-fitting accuracy of the bushing accessory. Preferably, the press head inner core 13 is matched with the inner diameter shaft hole of the bushing accessory. More preferably, the inner diameter matching clearance between the press head inner core 13 and the bushing accessory is 0.02-0.05mm, which facilitates the pre-installation of the bushing accessory and the press head inner core 13 before press-fitting while ensuring the press-fitting accuracy.
[0029] Furthermore, the end of the press head inner core 13 is provided with a rounded structure, which, on the one hand, provides a guiding function during the pre-installation of the bushing accessories, so that the press head inner core 13 can smoothly penetrate into the inner diameter of the bushing accessories. On the other hand, the rounded end of the press head inner core 13 improves the structural strength, overcomes the defect that the end of the press head inner core 13 is easy to be bumped and deformed, which affects the smooth pre-installation of the bushing accessories, and ensures the working efficiency.
[0030] Preferably, the connecting portion 11 is provided with a mounting pin hole 19 for the fastening pin to pass through, so as to ensure a reliable connection between the pressing head body 1 and the pressing machine.
[0031] The above disclosure is only a specific embodiment of the present patent, but the present patent is not limited thereto. For ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the principle of the present invention, the deformation made should be deemed to belong to the protection of the present invention.
