Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automobile wheel hub manufacturing, in particular to an automatic production and manufacturing field of aluminum alloy wheel hubs. Background Technique
[0002] In recent years, with the increasing labor cost in China year by year, automation and less manpower have become the common demands of the wheel hub manufacturing industry. And under the pressure of many aspects such as safety and cost, it is the basic way out to replace manual operation with low-cost automation. Therefore, factories must improve and upgrade as soon as possible, and it is urgent to replace workers' operation with special equipment.
[0003] In the process of automatic production and manufacturing of automobile aluminum alloy wheel hubs, there is a process of airtight detection. Before the airtight detection process, workers will manually insert rubber plugs into the valve holes of the aluminum alloy wheel hubs to prevent air leakage and pressure relief during airtight detection. After the airtight detection process, workers still need to manually pull out the rubber plugs and then transfer them to the next process. There will be a situation of missed pulling of the rubber plugs manually, and the current labor cost is relatively high, the labor intensity is relatively large, and there is no traceability system. At present, technical personnel in the market have developed and applied corresponding special equipment, which can realize automatic plug pulling and marking, but the operation effect is not ideal, and the overall structure has a high failure rate. Therefore, a new type of automatic equipment device is urgently needed to solve this problem. Summary of the Utility Model

[0013] The following further describes the present utility model in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0014] Embodiment 1
[0015] As shown in Appendix Figure 1 , Appendix Figure 2 , Appendix Figure 3 , Appendix Figure 4 and Appendix Figure 5 , this embodiment includes a main body frame 1, a roller path motor 2, a push rod cylinder A 3, a conveying roller 4, a clamping and rotating guide wheel 5, a laser coder 6, a laser rangefinder 7, a lifting slide 8, a push rod cylinder B 9, a horizontal slide 10, a push rod cylinder C 11, a photoelectric detection switch 12, a finger 13, a chute 14, a receiving bucket 15, a servo rotating motor 16, an aluminum alloy wheel 17 and a rubber plug 18.
[0016] When the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17 is automatically conveyed from the previous process to the conveying roller 4 installed on the upper part of the main body frame 1, at this time, the rubber plug 18 is installed on the valve hole of the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17. Then, the push rod cylinder A3 drives the two clamping and rotating guide wheels 5 on the left side to move until the four clamping and rotating guide wheels 5 achieve four-point clamping of the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17. Next, the servo rotating motor 16 drives one of the clamping and rotating guide wheels 5 axially installed with it to rotate axially, thereby driving the entire aluminum alloy wheel hub 17 to rotate axially. At the same time, the photoelectric detection switch 12 starts to detect and scan the position of the rubber plug 18 in the angular direction of the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17. When the rubber plug 18 is scanned, the servo rotating motor 16 stops working, and the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17 stops rotating accordingly. After that, the lifting slide table 8 and the horizontal slide table 10 drive the push rod cylinder C11 and the clamping fingers 13 to lift a certain distance and move horizontally a certain distance respectively until the clamping fingers 13 move to the position of the rubber plug 18. Then, the push rod cylinder C11 makes a rod pushing action, driving the clamping fingers 13 to make a clamping action to clamp the rubber plug 18. Next, the lifting slide table 8 and the horizontal slide table 10 drive the clamping fingers 13 to make a combined action until the rubber plug 18 is pulled out from the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17. Then, the clamping fingers 13 are released under the pulling-back action of the push rod cylinder C11, and the rubber plug 18 will fall on the chute 14 under the action of gravity until it slides into the receiving bucket 15; the next step is the laser marking action. The push rod cylinder B9 starts to act, pushing out the cylinder rod to drive the laser coder 6 and the laser range finder 7 installed under it to move along the axis of the cylinder rod until they are aligned with the valve hole of the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17 at a suitable position. At this time, the laser range finder 7 starts to measure the distance from the surface of the aluminum alloy wheel hub, and then tells the distance information to the horizontal slide table 10. The horizontal slide table 10 immediately realizes a horizontal movement action, thereby realizing the focusing of the laser coder 6 on the surface of the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17. Then, the process information of the product is laser marked on the surface of the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17, realizing the traceability of the product; finally, the conveying roller 4 rotates under the drive of the roller path motor 2 to automatically convey the aluminum alloy wheel hub 17 to the next process, waiting for the entry of the next aluminum alloy wheel hub 17.
[0017] The above embodiments are only preferred and exemplary. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent technical improvements according to the spirit of this patent, which are all covered by the protection scope of this patent.
