Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automatic spray coating line technology, specifically an automatic spray coating line for wheel hubs. Background Technology

[0002] The automatic wheel hub painting line is a highly automated production line, mainly used for surface painting of automotive wheel hubs and other parts. With the development of personalized and diversified appearance designs of aluminum alloy wheels, the demand for two-tone wheels has received more and more attention in the market. The painting process of different surface colors of the same wheel hub is more complex and varied than before, requiring the surface colors to be alternating and the colors to change from dark colors such as black and gray to bright colors such as blue and orange.

[0003] The current spraying method involves manually applying protective stickers to the surface of the wheel hub to cover the corresponding parts before applying the color coating. Because the stickers are used for protection, they must be manually removed before the baking process after spraying to avoid burning them and affecting the appearance of the wheel hub. In addition, the manual operation method is extremely inefficient and cannot meet the requirements for the automated production line. Utility Model Content

[0004] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problem that the existing spraying method involves manually pasting protective stickers onto the surface of the wheel hub to cover the corresponding parts before color spraying. Because the sticker protection method requires manual removal before the baking process after spraying to avoid the sticker burning and affecting the appearance of the wheel hub, and the manual operation method is extremely inefficient, the operation process cannot meet the requirements of automated production lines. Therefore, an automatic wheel hub spraying and coating line is proposed.

[0006] (II) Technical Solution

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not 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 effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-4 An automatic wheel hub spraying and coating line is provided, including a coating line body 1, a placement frame 2 is provided on the coating line body 1, a positioning frame 3 is fixedly installed on the placement frame 2, a transmission component 4 is provided on the coating line body 1, a sliding component 5 is provided at the top and bottom of the transmission component 4, both sliding components 5 are connected to a mounting frame 6, and a snap-fit ​​component 7 is symmetrically provided on the mounting frame 6, both snap-fit ​​components 7 are connected to a blocking disc 8.

[0025] Reference Figure 1-4 Among them, a number of positioning blocks 31 are installed in a circular array on the positioning frame 3, and the positioning blocks 31 are adapted to the gap on the wheel hub;

[0026] With the above structural design, the wheel hub gap can be locked onto the positioning block 31 on the surface of the positioning frame 3 to limit the wheel hub and prevent the wheel hub from rotating on the positioning frame 3.

[0027] Reference Figure 1-3 The transmission assembly 4 includes a transmission frame 41. The transmission frame 41 is fixedly installed on the painting line body 1. A drive motor 42 is fixedly installed on the top of the transmission frame 41. A transmission rod 43 connected to the output end of the drive motor 42 is rotatably installed inside the transmission frame 41. A main gear 44 is fixedly installed at both ends of the transmission rod 43.

[0028] With the above structural setup, the drive motor 42 is started, and the drive motor 42 drives the transmission rod 43 to rotate. When the transmission rod 43 rotates, it drives the secondary gear 53 meshing with it to rotate through the main gear 44 at both ends.

[0029] Reference Figure 1-3The sliding component 5 includes a sliding groove 51. The top and bottom of the transmission frame 41 are fixedly installed with sliding grooves 51. A lead screw 52 is rotatably installed inside the sliding groove 51. A secondary gear 53 that meshes with the main gear 44 is fixedly installed at one end of the lead screw 52 near the transmission rod 43. A lead screw slider 54 that is threadedly connected to the lead screw 52 is slidably installed inside the sliding groove 51. The lead screw slider 54 is fixedly connected to the mounting frame 6.

[0030] With the above structural arrangement, after the secondary gear 53 is driven to rotate by the main gear 44, the secondary gear 53 drives the lead screw 52 to rotate, and the lead screw 52 drives the lead screw slider 54 to move in the sliding groove, while simultaneously driving the mounting bracket 6 to move.

[0031] Reference Figure 1-3 The snap-fit ​​assembly 7 includes a slot 71. The slots 71 are symmetrically installed on the mounting bracket 6. A threaded pin 72 is slidably installed inside the slot 71. One end of the threaded pin 72 is threadedly connected to a nut 73.

[0032] With the above structure, after the locking blocks 83 on both sides of the blocking disc 8 are close to the inside of the slot 71, the threaded pin 72 passes through the slot 71 and the locking block 83 together. Tightening the nut 73 and the threaded pin 72 will fix the two together, and different blocking discs 8 can be quickly replaced as needed.

[0033] Reference Figure 1-3 The blocking plate 8 has several spray nozzles 81, and a rubber retaining ring 82 is fixedly installed on the side of the blocking plate 8 facing the mounting frame 6. Both sides of the blocking plate 8 are fixedly installed with a retaining block 83 that matches the retaining groove 71.

[0034] With the above-mentioned structural configuration, the spray nozzle 81 of the blocking disc 8 controls the position and area of ​​the wheel hub that need to be sprayed. The hook-shaped rubber retainer 82 can be pushed by the sliding component 5 to lock the blocking disc 8 on the surface of one side of the wheel hub, preventing the blocking disc 8 from shaking and also playing a positioning role to ensure that the blocking disc 8 is aligned with the side of the wheel hub.

[0035] Working principle:

[0036] Implementation steps for the first innovation point:

[0037] Step 1: Place the wheel hub on the placement frame 2 and push the wheel hub onto the positioning frame 3 at the same time, so that the gap of the wheel hub is engaged with the positioning block 31 on the surface of the positioning frame 3, so that the positioning block 31 limits the wheel hub and prevents the wheel hub from rotating on the positioning frame 3.

[0038] Step 2: After fixing, start the drive motor 42. The drive motor 42 drives the transmission rod 43 to rotate. When the transmission rod 43 rotates, it drives the secondary gear 53 meshing with it through the main gear 44 at both ends. The secondary gear 53 drives the lead screw 52 to rotate. The lead screw 52 drives the lead screw slider 54 to move in the sliding groove, and at the same time drives the mounting bracket 6 to move. The mounting bracket 6 drives the blocking plate 8 on it. The rubber retaining ring 82 on the blocking plate 8 is used to lock it onto the surface of one side of the wheel hub and make it fit against the side of the wheel hub.

[0039] Step 3: After the wheel hubs in the same batch are painted, the threaded pin 72 can be rotated to disconnect its threaded connection with the nut 73. After pulling out the threaded pin 72, the locking blocks 83 on both sides of the blocking disc 8 can be pulled out from the slot 71. The old blocking disc 8 can be removed and the new blocking disc 8 can be installed.
