Detailed implementation manners

[0040] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0041] The embodiments exemplified by the present utility model are only used to explain the present utility model, and are not used to limit the scope of the present utility model. In the following paragraphs, the present utility model will be described more specifically by way of example with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the accompanying drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise scales, and are only used to facilitate and clearly assist in explaining the purpose of the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0042] Currently, after the wheel hub is manufactured, it needs to be inspected. During the inspection process of the wheel hub, the wheel hub needs to be flipped to perform inspections at different angles. However, during the inspection process of the wheel hub, the wheel hub is usually manually flipped, and the flipping efficiency is low, which in turn leads to a low inspection efficiency of the wheel hub. To solve the above problems, the embodiments of the present utility model provide a wheel hub flipping device and a wheel hub inspection system. The above-mentioned wheel hub flipping device and wheel hub inspection system will be specifically described below.

[0043] In the first aspect, referring to Figures 1 to 4 , the wheel hub flipping device provided by the embodiments of the present utility model includes a flipping assembly 1. The flipping assembly 1 includes a lifting member 11, a wheel hub collecting member 12, a first transmission member, a second transmission member, and a driving mechanism 16. Among them, the lifting member 11 is connected with a supporting elastic member 17. The lifting member 11 has a low position state. The wheel hub collecting member 12 is used to accommodate the wheel hub. The wheel hub collecting member 12 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 11. The first transmission member is connected to the wheel hub collecting member 12. The driving mechanism 16 is connected to the second transmission member. Under the gravity of the wheel hub accommodated in the wheel hub collecting member 12, when the lifting member 11 is in the low position state, the supporting elastic member 17 is in a compressed state. The second transmission member is in transmission connection with the first transmission member. The driving mechanism 16 drives the wheel hub collecting member 12 to rotate through the second transmission member and the first transmission member.

[0044] The wheel hub flipping device further includes a frame 8. The lifting member 11 is slidably connected in the frame 8 along the height direction of the frame 8. The height direction of the frame 8 can refer to the direction shown by the D arrow in Figure 1 . The supporting elastic member 17 can be a spring, a rubber elastic member, etc. One end of the supporting elastic member 17 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the lifting member 11, and the other end of the supporting elastic member 17 is fixedly connected to the frame 8. The first transmission member can be a gear, a sprocket, etc. The second transmission member can be a toothed chain, a rack, etc. The driving mechanism 16 can include a gear member 161. The gear member 161 is rotatably connected in the frame 8. The gear member 161 is in transmission connection with the second transmission member. The gear member 161 can be separately connected with a driving motor, or the gear member 161 can also be connected to other driving structures in the wheel hub flipping device. After the driving mechanism 16 drives the connecting shaft 13 to rotate through the second transmission member and the first transmission member, the connecting shaft 13 drives the wheel hub collecting member 12 to rotate, and the wheel hub collecting member 12 drives the wheel hub to rotate so as to flip the wheel hub.

[0045] When the hub needs to be flipped during the hub detection process, the hub will first be conveyed into the hub collector 12. When the hub enters the interior of the hub collector 12, under the gravitational force of the hub, the hub collector 12 descends, and the hub collector 12 drives the lifting member 11 to descend. After the lifting member 11 descends, the support elastic member 17 is compressed. When the lifting member 11 descends to the low position state, the first transmission member meshes with the second transmission member; after the first transmission member meshes with the second transmission member, the driving mechanism 16 drives the first transmission member to rotate through the second transmission member. The rotation of the first transmission member will cause the hub collector 12 to rotate, and the rotation of the hub collector 12 will drive the hub inside it to rotate together until the first transmission member is driven by the second transmission member to rotate 180 degrees. At this time, the hub collector 12 drives the hub to rotate 180 degrees for flipping.

[0046] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the flipping assembly 1 can automatically realize the flipping of the hub, eliminating the need for manual flipping of the hub by the staff, improving the flipping efficiency of the hub, thereby improving the detection efficiency of the hub, and reducing the workload of the staff; in addition, the setting of the support elastic member 17 enables the lifting member 11 to be maintained at a preset height initially, facilitating the hub collector 12 to collect the hub, and after the hub is flipped and removed from the hub collector 12, the support elastic member 17 can also make the hub collector 12 reset upward, facilitating the flipping of subsequent hubs. Furthermore, after the hub enters the hub collector 12, under the gravitational force of the hub, the lifting member 11 will be in the low position state, and the driving mechanism 16 drives the hub collector 12 to rotate through the second transmission member and the first transmission member, without the need to additionally set a hub sensor to sense whether the hub enters the hub collector 12.

[0047] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figures 2 to 4 , the hub collector 12 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 11 through a connecting shaft 13. The first transmission member is arranged on the connecting shaft 13, and the first transmission member is connected to the hub collector 12 through the connecting shaft 13. The driving mechanism 16 drives the connecting shaft 13 to rotate through the second transmission member and the first transmission member to drive the hub collector 12 to rotate.

[0048] Among them, the hub collecting member 12 is fixedly connected to the connecting shaft 13, and the connecting shaft 13 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 11. Connecting shafts 13 extend from both ends of the hub collecting member 12, and the ends of the connecting shafts 13 extend into the lifting member 11. The first transmission member is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the connecting shaft 13, and the second transmission member is preferably located below the first transmission member. After the hub collecting member 12 descends under the gravity of the hub, the hub collecting member 12 will drive the connecting shaft 13 to descend, and the connecting shaft 13 will drive the lifting member 11 to descend. After the first transmission member meshes with the second transmission member, the driving mechanism 16 drives the first transmission member to rotate through the second transmission member. The rotation of the first transmission member will drive the connecting shaft 13 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting shaft 13 will drive the hub collecting member 12 to rotate.

[0049] It should be noted that in other embodiments, the connecting shaft 13 is arranged on the frame 8, the hub collecting member 12 is rotatably connected to the frame 8 through the connecting shaft 13, the connection structure between the connecting shaft 13 and the frame 8 is slidably connected to the frame 8, the hub collecting member 12 is rotatably connected to the lifting member 11 through other connection structures, and the first transmission member is arranged on the hub collecting member 12.

[0050] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the lifting member 11 further has a high position state. The supporting elastic member 17 is used to move the lifting member 11 from the low position state to the high position state when the hub collecting member 12 does not accommodate the hub. When the lifting member 11 is in the high position state, along the lifting direction of the lifting member 11, the distance between the first transmission member and the second transmission member is greater than zero, and the first transmission member and the second transmission member are disengaged from transmission. Among them, the height of the lifting member 11 in the high position state is higher than the height of the lifting member 11 in the low position state. The lifting member 11 is in the high position state initially and after reset. At this time, the distance between the first transmission member and the second transmission member is greater than zero, that is, the first transmission member and the second transmission member cannot be in transmission connection, and the driving mechanism 16 cannot drive the connecting shaft 13 to rotate through the second transmission member and the first transmission member. In the embodiment of the present invention, when the hub collecting member 12 does not accommodate the hub and the lifting member 11 is in the high position state, the driving mechanism 16 cannot drive the connecting shaft 13 to rotate through the second transmission member and the first transmission member, that is, only when the hub collecting member 12 accommodates the hub can the driving mechanism 16 drive the connecting shaft 13 to rotate through the second transmission member and the first transmission member, avoiding the ineffective flipping of the hub collecting member 12.

[0051] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the hub flipping device further includes a first conveying component 2 and a second conveying component 3. The flipping component 1 is located between the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 3. The flipping component 1 is used to flip the hub conveyed by the first conveying component 2 and flip the hub onto the second conveying component 3.

[0052] Among them, the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 3 are both arranged on the frame 8. The first conveying component 2 includes a first conveyor belt 21, a first motor 22, a first roller and a plurality of first rotating shafts. The first motor 22 can be fixedly connected to one side of the frame 8 along its width direction. The first roller and the first rotating shafts are both rotatably connected inside the frame 8. The first roller is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first motor 22. The first conveyor belt 21 is sleeved on the first roller and the plurality of first rotating shafts. The first conveyor belt 21 is used for conveying the wheel hub. The conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 21 is parallel to the length direction of the frame 8. The length direction of the frame 8 can be referred to Figure 1 the direction shown by the C arrow in

[0053] The second conveying component 3 includes a second conveyor belt 31, a second motor 32, a second roller 33 and a plurality of second rotating shafts 34. The second motor 32 can be fixedly connected to one side of the frame 8 along its width direction. The second roller 33 and the second rotating shafts 34 are both rotatably connected inside the frame 8. The second roller 33 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 32. The second conveyor belt 31 is sleeved on the second roller 33 and the plurality of second rotating shafts 34. The second conveyor belt 31 is used for conveying the wheel hub. The conveying direction of the second conveyor belt 31 is parallel to the length direction of the frame 8. In the embodiment of the present utility model, the first conveying component 2 can automatically convey the wheel hub to the flipping component 1 and convey the wheel hub into the wheel hub collecting member 12. The second conveying component 3 can receive the flipped wheel hub and convey the flipped wheel hub, ensuring the continuity of the conveying and flipping of the wheel hub.

[0054] The gear member 161 can be in transmission connection with any one of the second rotating shafts 34 in the second conveying component 3. The gear member 161 is preferably in transmission connection with the second rotating shaft 34 closest to the flipping component 1 in the second conveying component 3. The gear member 161 includes a first transmission tooth group. A rotating shaft gear is arranged on the second rotating shaft 34. The first transmission tooth group meshes with the rotating shaft gear. When the second rotating shaft 34 rotates, it will drive the gear member 161 to rotate. When the gear member 161 rotates, it will drive the second transmission member to rotate.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 , the first transmission member is a transmission gear 14, the second transmission member is a tooth chain 15. The transmission gear 14 has a tooth group 141. The tooth group 141 includes a plurality of teeth. The radian of the tooth group 141 is π. During the process that the driving mechanism 16 drives the connecting shaft 13 to rotate through the tooth chain 15 and the transmission gear 14, from one end of the tooth group 141 to the other end of the tooth group 141, the teeth in the tooth group 141 are meshed with the tooth chain 15 one by one.

[0056] Among them, the gear member 161 further includes a second transmission gear set, and the second transmission gear set meshes with the tooth chain 15. Refer to Figure 4 ,

[0057] Initially, both ends of the tooth group 141 are respectively located at the top and bottom of the transmission gear 14. When the hub collector 12 descends under the gravity of the hub, the hub collector 12 drives the connecting shaft 13 to descend, the connecting shaft 13 drives the lifting member 11 to descend. After the lifting member 11 descends, the supporting elastic member 17 is compressed. When the lifting member 11 descends to the low position state, the bottommost tooth of the tooth group 141 in the transmission gear 14 first inserts into the tooth chain 15 and meshes with the tooth chain 15, and then the teeth in the tooth group 141 mesh with the tooth chain 15 one by one. In the embodiment of the present invention, the radian of the tooth group 141 is π, that is, after the tooth chain 15 meshes with the transmission gear 14, it drives the transmission gear 14 to rotate 180 degrees, and further enables the hub collector 12 to drive the hub to rotate 180 degrees for flipping, ensuring that the flipping angle of the hub is fixed at 180 degrees and avoiding the situation that the flipping angle of the hub is too large or too small.

[0058] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 3 , the flipping assembly 1 further includes a torsion elastic member 18. The torsion elastic member 18 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 13. One end of the torsion elastic member 18 is connected to the lifting member 11, and the other end of the torsion elastic member 18 is connected to the transmission gear 14. Among them, the torsion elastic member 18 can be a torsion spring. The lifting member 11 has a cavity, and the torsion elastic member 18 is located in the cavity of the lifting member 11. After the transmission gear 14 rises and resets and no longer contacts the tooth chain 15, the torsion elastic member 18 will rotate and reset. During the rotation and reset process of the torsion elastic member 18, it will drive the transmission gear 14 to reverse and reset, and the transmission gear 14 drives the hub collector 12 to reverse and reset through the connecting shaft 13. Through the setting of the torsion elastic member 18, the effect of automatically rotating and resetting the hub collector 12 can be achieved, which is convenient for flipping the subsequent hub.

[0059] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 1 , the hub flipping device further includes a limiting member 4. When the lifting member 11 is in the high position state, along the lifting direction of the lifting member 11, the distance between the hub collector 12 and the limiting member 4 is greater than zero; when the lifting member 11 is in the low position state, the limiting member 4 contacts the bottom of the hub collector 12 to stop the hub collector 12. Among them, the limiting member 4 can be fixedly connected inside the frame 8, and the hub collector 12 is located above the limiting member 4. Through the setting of the limiting member 4, the height of the lifting member 11 in the low position state can be restricted, avoiding excessive downward movement of the lifting member 11, so as to ensure that when the lifting member 11 is in the low position state, the transmission gear 14 can accurately mesh with the tooth chain 15, and further ensure the normal operation of the transmission gear 14 and the tooth chain 15.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 5 , the wheel hub collecting member 12 includes a first support plate 121 and a second support plate 122 which are relatively spaced apart. The wheel hub collecting member 12 has an exposed opening, and the exposed opening and the first support plate 121 are arranged along a first direction. The dimension of the first support plate 121 along the first direction is smaller than the diameter of the wheel hub so that the wheel hub can be exposed from the exposed opening. When the flipping assembly 1 flips the wheel hub onto the second conveying assembly 3, both the first support plate 121 and the exposed opening are located below the second support plate 122.

[0061] Wherein, the wheel hub collecting member 12 further has an inlet 125 communicating with the exposed opening, and the inlet 125 is used for the wheel hub to enter into the wheel hub collecting member 12. The first direction is specifically the width direction of the wheel hub collecting member 12, and the first direction can be referred to the direction shown by the E arrow in Figure 5 . When the inlet 125 faces the first conveying assembly 2, both the first support plate 121 and the exposed opening are located above the second support plate 122. After the wheel hub collecting member 12 drives the wheel hub to flip, both the first support plate 121 and the exposed opening are located below the second support plate 122. The first support plate 121 and the second support plate 122 can respectively support two sides of the wheel hub during the flipping process of the wheel hub, so as to prevent the wheel hub from slipping out of the wheel hub collecting member 12 during the flipping process. The setting of the exposed opening enables the second conveying assembly 3 to convey a part of the exposed wheel hub through the exposed opening.

[0062] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, the wheel hub collecting member 12 further includes two side baffles 123 which are oppositely arranged. The first support plate 121 and the second support plate 122 form a support plate group, and the two side baffles 123 are respectively connected to both sides of the support plate group along its length direction. The connecting shaft 13 is specifically fixedly connected to the side baffle 123 in the wheel hub collecting member 12. The inlet 125 is formed between the second support plate 122 and the ends of the two side baffles 123 far from the connecting shaft 13. The wheel hub collecting member 12 further includes a rear baffle 124 which is oppositely arranged to the inlet 125, and the rear baffle 124 is connected to the first support plate 121 and the second support plate 122. The first support plate 121, the second support plate 122, the rear baffle 124 and the two side baffles 123 jointly define a receiving space for receiving the wheel hub. Through the setting of the side baffles 123 and the rear baffle 124, it can be avoided that the wheel hub slips out of the wheel hub collecting member 12 during the flipping process.

[0063] In a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, referring to Figure 1, the wheel hub flipping device further includes a first guiding member 5. The position of the first guiding member 5 corresponds to the position of the first conveying component 2. The first guiding member 5 has a first guiding inlet 51, and the first guiding inlet 51 faces the upstream end of the first conveying component 2 in the conveying direction; and / or, the wheel hub flipping device further includes a second guiding member 6. The position of the second guiding member 6 corresponds to the position of the second conveying component 3. The second guiding member 6 has a second guiding inlet 61, and the second guiding inlet 61 faces the upstream end of the second conveying component 3 in the conveying direction.

[0064] Wherein, both the first guiding member 5 and the second guiding member 6 can be fixedly connected to the top of the frame 8. The wheel hub flipping device is connected with a wheel hub detector 7, and the wheel hub detector 7 is used for detecting the wheel hub. After the staff places the wheel hub on the first conveyor belt 21, the wheel hub driven by the first conveyor belt 21 will pass through the first guiding member 5. The first guiding member 5 guides and positions the wheel hub so that the wheel hub can pass through the wheel hub detector 7 along a fixed moving path, which is beneficial to the detection of the wheel hub by the wheel hub detector 7. The flipping component 1 flips the wheel hub conveyed by the first conveyor belt 21 and flips the wheel hub onto the second conveyor belt 31. The wheel hub driven by the second conveyor belt 31 will pass through the second guiding member 6. The second guiding member 6 guides and positions the wheel hub so that the wheel hub can pass through another wheel hub detector 7 along a fixed moving path. Both the first guiding member 5 and the second guiding member 6 can include two plate bodies arranged oppositely. Along the conveying direction of the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 3, the distance between the two plate bodies decreases and then remains unchanged.

[0065] When the hub needs to be flipped during the hub detection process, first start the first motor 22 and the second motor 32. After the second motor 32 is started, the second motor 32 drives the second conveyor belt 31 to rotate through the second roller 33. During the rotation of the second conveyor belt 31, the second rotating shaft 34 is driven to rotate. The second rotating shaft 34 closest to the flipping assembly 1 in the second conveyor assembly 3 drives the gear member 161 engaged with it to rotate, and the rotation of the gear member 161 drives the tooth chain 15 to rotate; then, place the hub on the first conveyor belt 21, and the first conveyor belt 21 drives the hub to move towards the flipping assembly 1. During this process, the hub is guided and positioned by the first guide member 5. When the first conveyor belt 21 drives the hub to move to the flipping assembly 1, the hub gradually enters the inside of the hub collecting member 12; when the hub enters the inside of the hub collecting member 12, under the gravity of the hub, the hub collecting member 12 descends, the hub collecting member 12 drives the connecting shaft 13 to descend, and the connecting shaft 13 drives the lifting member 11 to descend. After the lifting member 11 descends, the supporting elastic member 17 is compressed. When the hub collecting member 12 descends to contact the limiting member 4 and stops descending, at this time, the bottom tooth of the tooth group 141 in the transmission gear 14 inserts into the inside of the tooth chain 15 and meshes with the tooth chain 15; after the tooth group 141 in the transmission gear 14 meshes with the tooth chain 15, the tooth chain 15 drives the transmission gear 14 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission gear 14 drives the torsion elastic member 18 to twist and drives the connecting shaft 13 to rotate together. The rotation of the connecting shaft 13 drives the hub collecting member 12 to rotate. The rotation of the hub collecting member 12 drives the hub inside it to rotate together until the transmission gear 14 is driven by the tooth chain 15 to rotate 180 degrees and the transmission gear 14 no longer meshes with the tooth chain 15. At this time, the hub collecting member 12 drives the hub to rotate 180 degrees for flipping and makes the flipped hub fit to the top of the second conveyor belt 31; then, the second conveyor belt 31 drives the hub to separate from the hub collecting member 12 and drives the hub to gradually move away from the flipping assembly 1. During this process, the hub is guided and positioned by the second guide member 6.

[0066] After the flipped hub separates from the inside of the hub collecting member 12, the hub collecting member 12 loses pressure, and the supporting elastic member 17 pushes the lifting member 11 to rise and reset to the high position state. During the rising and resetting process of the lifting member 11, it drives the connecting shaft 13 and the transmission gear 14 to rise and reset. The rising and resetting of the connecting shaft 13 drives the hub collecting member 12 to rise and reset. After the transmission gear 14 rises and resets, it no longer contacts the tooth chain 15, and the torsion elastic member 18 rotates and resets. During the rotation and resetting process of the torsion elastic member 18, it drives the transmission gear 14 to reverse and reset. The transmission gear 14 drives the hub collecting member 12 to reverse and reset through the connecting shaft 13 to wait for the next hub to enter.

[0067] Second, referring to Figure 6, the embodiment of the present utility model provides a wheel hub detection system, which includes a wheel hub detector 7 and the wheel hub turning device provided in the first aspect. Since the wheel hub detection system includes the above-mentioned wheel hub turning device, it also has the beneficial effects of the above-mentioned wheel hub turning device, which will not be elaborated here.

[0068] The number of wheel hub detectors 7 is two, and the positions of the two wheel hub detectors 7 correspond to the positions of the first conveying component 2 and the second conveying component 3 in the wheel hub turning device respectively. The wheel hub detector 7 can be fixedly connected to the top of the frame 8. One of the wheel hub detectors 7 is located between the first guiding member 5 and the turning component 1, and the other wheel hub detector 7 is located on the side of the second guiding member 6 away from the turning component 1.

[0069] In summary, in the wheel hub detection system provided by the embodiment of the present utility model, the first conveyor belt 21 drives the wheel hub to move so that the wheel hub is detected by the wheel hub detector 7. After that, the wheel hub will enter the wheel hub collecting member 12 under the continuous drive of the first conveyor belt 21. Then, the wheel hub collecting member 12 drives the wheel hub to turn and places the turned wheel hub on the second conveyor belt 31. The second conveyor belt 31 drives the wheel hub to move so that the other wheel hub detector 7 detects the position of the wheel hub that has not been detected, so as to achieve the effect of comprehensively detecting the wheel hub at one time.
