Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel hub processing technology, specifically to a welding fixture for automobile wheel hubs. Background Technology
[0002] In the welding process of automobile wheels, they need to be pre-positioned. However, most existing automobile wheel welding fixtures use clamping rods to limit the circumferential movement of the wheel end face. Since the end face thickness is usually not very thick and the contact area is limited, it is sometimes necessary to rotate the wheel during the processing to assist welding. This may cause displacement, which in turn affects the processing accuracy and effect. Utility Model Content
[0003] I. Technical problems to be solved
[0004] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is that the small contact area and poor limiting stability during circumferential positioning of the wheel hub end face may lead to displacement, thereby affecting the machining accuracy and effect.
[0005] II. Technical Solution
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows: a welding fixture for automobile wheel hubs, including a mounting base and a clamping rod. The top of the mounting base is provided with a plurality of through holes evenly distributed in a circumferential array. The clamping rod slides through the through holes. A rotating component that can drive the mounting base to rotate is connected to the mounting base. A driving cavity is provided inside the mounting base. A telescopic cylinder is provided in the middle of the driving cavity. A plurality of hinge rods are circumferentially hinged to the power end of the telescopic cylinder. The other end of the hinge rod is hinged to the bottom end of the clamping rod. A pressure rod is hinged to the top of the clamping rod. A limiting component is provided on the clamping rod that can drive the pressure rod to limit and press the inner end face of the outer edge of the automobile wheel hub.
[0007] Furthermore, the rotating assembly includes a motor connected to the base plate, and the power output end of the motor is connected to the center of the bottom end of the mounting base.
[0008] Furthermore, the clamping rod has a horizontal Z-shaped structure, and first sliders are respectively connected to both sides of the middle part of the clamping rod. First sliding grooves are provided on both sides of the through hole, and the first sliding grooves slide in cooperation with the first sliders.
[0009] Furthermore, the limiting component includes an abutment plate that is slidably connected to the clamping rod. A drive rod is rotatably connected to the abutment plate on the side away from the center of the mounting base. The drive rod passes through the clamping rod. A drive assembly that can drive the drive rod to rotate is provided on the clamping rod. A rope winding shaft is connected to the drive rod. A spring sleeved on the drive rod is provided between the rope winding shaft and the clamping rod. A pull rope is connected to the rope winding shaft. The other end of the pull rope is connected to a pressure rod.
[0010] Furthermore, a second sliding groove is connected to the clamping rod, and a second slider is connected to the abutment plate, with the second slider slidingly engaging with the second sliding groove.
[0011] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a through hole on the clamping rod, a fixing post is provided in the through hole, and a spiral groove is provided circumferentially on the driving rod, with the fixing post slidingly engaged with the spiral groove.
[0012] III. Beneficial Effects
[0013] The advantages of this utility model compared with the prior art are as follows:
[0014] The telescopic cylinder drives the hinge rod to slide along the through hole, allowing the clamping rods to move closer or further apart depending on the size of the wheel hub. This ensures that the wheel hub end face abuts against the clamping rod, with the outer circumference abutting against the outer end of the clamping rod, thus limiting the wheel hub's position. The limiting component allows the pressure rod to be driven to press and limit the inner end face of the wheel hub's outer edge during the circumferential limiting process, thereby improving the stability of the wheel hub's position. The rotating component facilitates the use of external welding components to weld the wheel hub at different angles, thereby improving welding efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The specific usage method is as follows:
[0027] First, make the bottom surface of the wheel hub abut against the surface where the second sliding groove 15 of the Z-shaped clamping rod 2 is located;
[0028] Then, the telescopic cylinder 4 drives the hinge rod 5 to drive the clamping rod 2.
