[0002] On the automobile production line, the wheel assembly workbench is one of the essential pieces of equipment. It is used to assemble the wheel hub with other parts to form a complete automobile wheel, which is then installed on the vehicle body to ensure the normal operation of the car.
[0003] A search revealed CN219704873U, a utility model of a fixing clamp for wheel hub assembly, comprising a fixing plate and a fixing column. Research and analysis revealed that although it has advantages such as lubrication during use, it also has the following disadvantages to a certain extent.
[0004] For example, if the worktable does not have a flipping and clamping loading function, the wheel hubs need to be manually lifted and placed on the worktable surface. When manually lifting and placing the wheel hubs, due to their weight, the operator is prone to accidentally dropping them, which not only damages the wheel hubs but also threatens the personal safety of the operator. At the same time, it does not have a flaw detection function, so it cannot detect flaws on the surface of the wheel hubs, such as cracks and pores, in a timely manner. In order to solve the above technical problems, we have designed a wheel hub assembly worktable. Utility Model Content
