The wheel dynamic balancer indicates to the user the weight and position of the balance weights fixed on the wheel hub. At present, the wheel needs to be manually sleeved on the transmission shaft of the wheel dynamic balancer, and there is a split nut on this transmission shaft, and it is necessary to manually lock the split nut on the transmission shaft in the wheel dynamic balancer to firmly install the wheel on the transmission shaft before the dynamic balance operation of the wheel can be carried out.

[0013] Further, the one-way intake valve 2-12 includes a valve needle 2-12-1, a gasket F 2-12-2, an I-shaped plate 2-12-3, and a valve needle spring 2-12-4;

[0014] The valve needle 2-12-1, the valve needle spring 2-12-4 and the I-shaped plate 2-12-3 are coaxially arranged in sequence from left to right, and the valve needle spring 2-12-4 is sleeved on the valve needle 2-12-1. A sealing gasket F2-12-2 is sleeved on one end of the valve needle 2-12-1;

[0015] Further, the end of the cylinder rod 2-11 in the double-layer single-acting cylinder 2 is connected to the input end of the locking assembly of the wheel dynamic balancer transmission assembly 1;

[0017] Further, the inflation assembly 3 includes an inflation assembly inner ring 3-1, a bearing 3-2, an inflation assembly outer ring 3-3, an inflation cylinder 3-4, a sealing ring 3-6 and an annular sealing gasket 3-5;

[0018] The inflation assembly outer ring 3-3 is in the shape of a cylinder with a central hole. One end of the inflation assembly inner ring 3-1 is sleeved with the inflation assembly outer ring 3-3, and a bearing 3-2 is arranged between the inner wall of the inflation assembly outer ring 3-3 and the outer surface of the inflation assembly inner ring 3-1. The other end of the inflation assembly outer ring 3-3 is provided with an inflation cylinder 3-4, and the inflation assembly outer ring 3-3 and the inflation cylinder 3-4 are coaxially arranged. The inflation assembly inner ring 3-1 is provided with an inner ring central hole, and a sealing ring 3-6 is embedded in the inner part of the inner ring central hole. A circular groove is machined on the other end face of the inflation assembly inner ring 3-1, and an annular sealing gasket 3-5 is arranged in the circular groove;

[0019] Further, a U-shaped groove 3-4-3 is machined on the bottom end face of the inflation cylinder rod 3-4-1 of the inflation cylinder 3-4. An inflation air passage 3-4-2 is machined along the length direction at the center of the end face of the inflation cylinder rod 3-4-1. A threaded hole is machined at the center of the other end face of the inflation cylinder rod 3-4-1, and an inflation air nozzle 3-4-4 is arranged in the threaded hole;

[0020] Further, during use, when the pneumatic cylinder rod 3-4-1 is in the extended state, it passes through the sealing ring 3-6 and can push open the valve needle 2-12-1 of the one-way intake valve 2-12. In this way, the inflation nozzle 3-4-4 is communicated with the air chamber B2-19 through the inflation air passage 3-4-2 and the U-shaped groove 3-4-3, and is isolated from the atmosphere through the sealing ring 3-6 and the annular gasket 3-5. When the inflation nozzle 3-4-4 is connected to high-pressure gas, the high-pressure gas enters the air chamber D2-21 through the one-way intake valve 2-12, the air chamber B2-19, the vent hole B2-9, the air chamber A2-18, and the vent hole A2-8. On the other side of the piston 2-22, the L-shaped vent hole 2-10 can communicate the air chamber C2-20 with the atmosphere, and the air chamber C2-20 is always at atmospheric pressure. At this time, on the front side of the piston 2-22, the air chamber D2-21 is filled with high-pressure gas, and on the rear side of the piston 2-22, the air chamber C2-20 is filled with atmospheric gas. The pressure difference on both sides of the piston 2-22 overcomes the pressure of the return spring 2-17 and pushes the piston 2-22 backward, causing the cylinder rod 2-11 to retract and driving the locking assembly pull rod 1-2 to lock the wheel.

[0021] When the pneumatic cylinder rod 3-4-1 in the inflation assembly 3 pushes open the valve needle 2-12-1 of the one-way intake valve 2-12 and the inflation nozzle 3-4-4 is connected to atmospheric gas, the air chamber D2-21 is also connected to atmospheric gas. On both the front and rear sides of the piston 2-22, the air pressures in the air chamber D2-21 and the air chamber C2-20 are the same. Under the action of the return spring 2-17, the piston 2-22 moves forward, the cylinder rod 2-11 extends, and the locking assembly pull rod 1-2 drives to release the wheel.

[0022] After the locking or releasing action of the wheel is completed, the pneumatic cylinder rod 3-4-1 is in the retracted state. It is located at the rear end of the sealing ring 3-6. The valve needle 2-12-1 of the one-way intake valve 2-12 returns under the action of the valve needle spring 2-12-4. Under the action of the gasket F2-12-2, the air chamber B2-19 is isolated from the atmosphere and can maintain a high-pressure or atmospheric state, enabling the wheel to maintain the locked or released state. When the wheel is undergoing dynamic balance measurement, the pulley of the transmission assembly drives the locking cylinder 2 to rotate together, while the inflation cylinder 3-4 needs to be connected to an air pipe and cannot rotate. Through the bearing 3-2, the outer ring 3-3 of the inflation assembly and the inflation cylinder 3-4 can be kept fixed, and the inner ring 3-1 of the inflation assembly and the double-layer single-acting cylinder 2 connected thereto can rotate freely.

[0023] The utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0024] The utility model overcomes the shortcomings of the prior art. When the cylinder rod retracts, the wheel is locked to the transmission shaft of the balancing machine. After the wheel is locked, the transmission shaft needs to rotate to measure the dynamic balance of the wheel. The locking cylinder needs to rotate with the transmission shaft to ensure that the wheel is in a locked state. This involves two problems. One is to ensure the pressure in the cylinder to ensure the locked state of the wheel, and the other is to ensure that the cylinder can rotate freely. In this device, a one-way intake valve and an inflation assembly are provided at the tail of the locking cylinder. The one-way intake valve can keep the pressure in the cylinder after the inflation assembly is separated from the locking cylinder. The locking cylinder is provided with an inner cylinder and an outer cylinder, and the inner cylinder and the outer cylinder form a closed air chamber A. A ventilation hole A is provided at a position near the front end cover of the inner cylinder (the front end of the cylinder piston). The rear end cover is composed of rear end cover A and rear end cover B, and rear end cover A and rear end cover B can form a closed air chamber B. A ventilation hole B is provided on rear end cover A, and ventilation hole B connects air chamber A and air chamber B. A one-way intake valve is provided at the center of rear end cover B. Rear end cover A is provided with an L-shaped air hole. One end of the L-shaped ventilation hole is connected to the atmosphere, and the other end is connected to the rear end of the cylinder piston. In this way, the rear end of the piston is always connected to the atmosphere, and a return spring is provided between the rear end of the piston and rear end cover A. When the inflation assembly connects high-pressure air to the one-way intake valve, the high-pressure air enters the front end of the cylinder piston through air chamber B, ventilation hole B, air chamber A, and ventilation hole A, causing the piston to move backward and the cylinder rod to retract to lock the wheel. When the inflation assembly pushes open the valve needle of the one-way intake valve to connect normal-pressure air, the air pressures at the front and rear ends of the cylinder piston are equal, and the cylinder piston moves forward under the action of the spring, and the cylinder rod extends to release the wheel. The locking cylinder with this structure, compared with the split nut on the transmission shaft in the existing wheel dynamic balancing machine, uses the telescopic method of the cylinder to fix the wheel. The operator only needs to control the opening of the air circuit to fix the wheel on the transmission shaft of the wheel dynamic balancing machine, which is more convenient to use and thus improves work efficiency.

[0033] In this specific embodiment, when in use, the inflation cylinder rod 3-4-1 is in the extended state, passing through the sealing ring 3-6 and capable of pushing open the valve needle 2-12-1 of the one-way intake valve 2-12. In this way, the inflation nozzle 3-4-4 is connected to the air chamber B2-19 through the inflation air passage 3-4-2 and the U-shaped groove 3-4-3, and is isolated from the atmosphere through the sealing ring 3-6 and the annular gasket 3-5. When the inflation nozzle 3-4-4 is connected to high-pressure gas, the high-pressure gas enters the air chamber D2-21 through the one-way intake valve 2-12, the air chamber B2-19, the vent hole B2-9, the air chamber A2-18, and the vent hole A2-8, pushing the piston 2-22 to move backward, and the cylinder rod 2-11 retracts, driving the locking assembly pull rod 1-2 to lock the wheel.

On both sides of the piston 2-22, the air pressures in the air chamber A2-18 and the air chamber D2-21 are the same. Under the action of the return spring 2-17, the piston 2-22 moves forward, the cylinder rod 2-11 extends, and the locking assembly pull rod 1-2 releases the wheel.

A threaded hole is machined at the center of the other end surface of the inflation cylinder rod 3-4-1, and an inflation air nozzle 3-4-4 is provided inside the threaded hole.

[0048] Working Principle

[0049] During use, the inflatable cylinder rod 3-4-1 is in the extended state, passing through the sealing ring 3-6 and capable of pushing open the valve needle 2-12-1 of the one-way intake valve 2-12. In this way, the inflatable nozzle 3-4-4 is connected to the air chamber B 2-19 through the inflatable air passage 3-4-2 and the U-shaped groove 3-4-3, and is isolated from the atmosphere by the sealing ring 3-6 and the annular gasket 3-5. When the inflatable nozzle 3-4-4 is connected to high-pressure gas, the high-pressure gas enters the air chamber D 2-21 through the one-way intake valve 2-12, the air chamber B 2-19, the vent hole B 2-9, the air chamber A 2-18, and the vent hole A 2-8. On the other side of the piston 2-22, the L-shaped vent hole 2-10 can connect the air chamber C 2-20 to the atmosphere, and the air chamber C 2-20 is always at normal pressure. At this time, on the front side of the piston 2-22, the air chamber D 2-21 contains high-pressure gas, and on the rear side of the piston 2-22, the air chamber C 2-20 contains normal-pressure gas. The pressure difference on both sides of the piston 2-22 overcomes the pressure of the return spring 2-17, pushing the piston 2-22 backward, and the cylinder rod 2-11 retracts, driving the locking component pull rod 1-2 to lock the wheel.

[0050] When the inflatable cylinder rod 3-4-1 in the inflating assembly 3 pushes open the valve needle 2-12-1 of the one-way intake valve 2-12 and the inflatable nozzle 3-4-4 is connected to normal-pressure gas, the air chamber D 2-21 is also connected to normal-pressure gas. The air pressures in the air chamber D 2-21 and the air chamber C 2-20 are the same on both the front and rear sides of the piston 2-22. Under the action of the return spring 2-17, the piston 2-22 moves forward, and the cylinder rod 2-11 extends, driving the locking component pull rod 1-2 to release the wheel.

[0051] After completing the locking or releasing action of the wheel, the inflatable cylinder rod 3-4-1 is in the retracted state, located at the rear end of the sealing ring 3-6. The valve needle 2-12-1 of the one-way intake valve 2-12 returns under the action of the valve needle spring 2-12-4. Under the action of the gasket F 2-12-2, the air chamber B 2-19 is isolated from the atmosphere and can maintain a high-pressure or normal-pressure state, enabling the wheel to maintain the locked or released state. When measuring the dynamic balance of the wheel, the pulley of the transmission assembly drives the locking cylinder 2 to rotate together, while the inflatable cylinder 3-4 needs to be connected to an air pipe and cannot rotate. Through the bearing 3-2, the outer ring 3-3 of the inflating assembly and the inflatable cylinder 3-4 can be kept fixed, and the inner ring 3-1 of the inflating assembly and the double-layer simple-acting cylinder 2 connected thereto can rotate freely.
