Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model is a wheel hub testing device, belonging to the field of testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the automotive manufacturing industry, after the wheel hub is produced, it needs to undergo quality inspection. Traditional manual inspection methods can no longer meet the needs of the production line. However, X-ray non-destructive testing technology can intuitively display the internal quality of the wheel hub under inspection due to its unique imaging principle. The overall inspection process is as follows: the wheel hub is transported to the C-arm, the four-wheel clamping mechanism clamps and rotates the wheel hub, the flat plate detector starts to take pictures, and after the wheel hub rotates one full turn, the hub spokes and center hole are inspected. The C-arm rotates to the left to start inspecting the rim and flange. After the wheel hub rotates one full turn, the inspection is completed. The flat plate detector can move up and down through the synchronous wheel mechanism, which can inspect wheel hubs of different specifications and sizes.

[0003] Most existing wheel hub inspection equipment uses multiple rotating conveyor rollers to transport wheel hubs. However, since the workshop floor is not perfectly level, the roller spools have a slope, causing the wheel hubs to be unbalanced during transport. This can easily lead to wheel hub misalignment, preventing the conveyor under the C-arm from engaging the wheel hub. Consequently, workers need to manually return the wheel hubs to the center of the conveyor rollers, causing unnecessary trouble and increasing workload. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a wheel hub inspection device to solve the problems mentioned in the background technology. This utility model realizes that the wheel hub does not need to be manually returned to the center of the rotating roller, thus bringing great convenience to the staff and reducing the workload.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a wheel hub inspection device, comprising a conveyor base, a rotating roller, a rotating support, and a mounting block. The conveyor base has a driver mounted on the conveyor roller. One end of the conveyor roller is fixedly connected to a rotating ring. The outer wall of the rotating ring is provided with a retaining spring plate. One end of the mounting block is fixedly connected to an electric motor. The output end of the electric motor is fixedly connected to a screw via a coupling. One end of the screw is fixedly connected to a connecting ring. A threaded moving plate is threaded onto the outer wall of the screw. A slider is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded moving plate. A limit ring is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider. A channel is opened on the outer wall of the rotating roller. A pressure sensor is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating roller.

[0006] Furthermore, a conveying mechanism is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor base, and a four-wheel clamping mechanism is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism. The conveying mechanism can convey the wheel hub to the four-wheel clamping mechanism.

[0007] Furthermore, a C-shaped arm is provided on one side of the rotating support, and a flat plate detector is provided on the inner wall of the C-shaped arm. The four-wheel clamping mechanism clamps and rotates the wheel hub, and the flat plate detector starts to take pictures to realize the detection of the wheel hub.

[0008] Furthermore, the connecting ring is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the rotating ring, and the threaded moving plate has a "ring" shaped structure. The ball spring plate is located between the rotating ring and the connecting ring, which can connect the rotating ring and the connecting ring into one unit, so that when the conveyor roller rotates, it can drive the screw and the electric motor to rotate through the rotating ring and the connecting ring.

[0009] Furthermore, the shape of the limiting ring is the same as that of the threaded moving plate, and the rotating roller and the conveying roller are fixedly connected. When the conveying roller rotates, it can drive the rotating roller to rotate, so that the rotation speed of the conveying roller and the rotating roller are the same.

[0010] Furthermore, the outer wall of the slider is slidably connected to the inner wall of the channel, and the limiting ring is slidably sleeved with the rotating roller, and the limiting ring moves on the outer wall of the rotating roller.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0012] 1. Through the set conveyor roller, rotating roller, limit ring, screw and pressure sensor, the pressure sensor will trigger the electric motor to start. The speed of the electric motor is greater than the speed of the conveyor roller, so the ball spring plate will be compressed. The connecting ring rotates on the outer wall of the rotating ring. Since the slider is limited by the channel, the threaded moving plate will move on the screw, and then the limit ring will move towards the hub. The two limit rings can drive the hub to return to its position. Therefore, the operator does not need to manually return the hub to the center of the rotating roller, which brings great convenience to the operator and reduces the workload.

[0013] 2. By using a conveyor roller, a rotating ring, a screw, and a retaining ball spring, with the retaining ball spring located between the rotating ring and the connecting ring, the rotating ring and the connecting ring can be connected as one unit. This allows the conveyor roller to drive the screw and electric motor to rotate through the rotating ring and the connecting ring when it rotates. As a result, when the hub does not deviate, the limit ring will not move, thus meeting the working requirements of the device and making it worthy of promotion. Attached Figure Description

[0020] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments.

[0021] Please see Figures 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wheel hub inspection device, including a conveyor base 1, a rotating roller 3, a rotating support 16, and a mounting block 20. The driver of the conveyor base 1 is equipped with multiple conveyor rollers 2. A wheel hub 15 is placed on the conveyor roller 2, and the conveyor roller 2 drives the wheel hub 15 to be conveyed onto a conveying mechanism 13. A rotating ring 8 is fixedly connected to one end of the conveyor roller 2, and the outer wall of the rotating ring 8 is provided with a ball spring plate 9. An electric motor 19 is fixedly connected to one end of the mounting block 20, and the output end of the electric motor 19 is connected via a coupling. The device is fixedly connected to a screw 11, and a connecting ring 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the screw 11. A threaded moving plate 7 is threadedly sleeved on the outer wall of the screw 11. A slider 6 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded moving plate 7. A limit ring 5 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the slider 6. A channel 4 is opened on the outer wall of the rotating roller 3. A pressure sensor 12 is fixedly installed on the outer wall of the rotating roller 3. The structures on both sides of the mounting block 20 are mirrored. The electric motor 19 and the pressure sensor 12 are both mature technologies on the market and belong to existing devices, so they will not be explained in detail here.

[0022] A conveying mechanism 13 is fixedly connected to one side of the conveyor base 1, and a four-wheel clamping mechanism 14 is provided on one side of the conveying mechanism 13. The conveying mechanism 13 can convey the wheel hub 15 to the four-wheel clamping mechanism 14.

[0023] A C-shaped arm 17 is provided on one side of the rotating support 16, and a flat plate detector 18 is provided on the inner wall of the C-shaped arm 17. The four-wheel clamping mechanism 14 clamps the wheel hub 15 and rotates it. The flat plate detector 18 starts to take pictures to realize the detection of the wheel hub 15.

[0024] The connecting ring 10 is rotatably sleeved on the outside of the rotating ring 8, and the threaded moving plate 7 has a "ring" shaped structure. The ball spring plate 9 is located between the rotating ring 8 and the connecting ring 10, which can connect the rotating ring 8 and the connecting ring 10 into one unit, so that when the conveyor roller 2 rotates, it can drive the screw 11 and the electric motor 19 to rotate through the rotating ring 8 and the connecting ring 10.

[0025] The shape of the limiting ring 5 is the same as that of the threaded moving plate 7, and the rotating roller 3 is fixedly connected to the conveying roller 2. When the conveying roller 2 rotates, it can drive the rotating roller 3 to rotate, so that the speed of the conveying roller 2 and the rotating roller 3 is the same.

[0026] The outer wall of slider 6 is slidably connected to the inner wall of channel 4, and the limiting ring 5 is slidably sleeved with the rotating roller 3. The limiting ring 5 moves on the outer wall of the rotating roller 3.

[0027] Working principle: First, the pressure sensor 12 is set at the outer edge of the rotating roller 3. When the pressure sensor 12 senses the pressure of the hub 15, it means that the position of the hub 15 has deviated, and the pressure sensor 12 will trigger the electric motor 19 to start.

[0028] Secondly, the rotational speed of the electric motor 19 is greater than that of the conveyor roller 2, which causes the ball spring 9 to be compressed and the connecting ring 10 to rotate on the outer wall of the rotating ring 8. Since the slider 6 is limited by the channel 4, the threaded moving plate 7 will move on the screw 11, and the limiting ring 5 will move towards the hub 15. The two limiting rings 5 ​​can then drive the hub 15 to return to its original position.

[0029] Finally, after the inspection of this batch of wheel hubs 15 is completed, the electric motor 19 is reversed to reset the two limit rings 5, and the inspection of the next batch of wheel hubs 15 can then proceed.

[0030] Although this specification is described according to implementation methods, not every implementation method contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative method of the specification is only for the sake of clarity. Those skilled in the art should regard the specification as a whole. The technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other implementation methods that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
