Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of I-beam wheel balance testing fixtures, specifically an I-beam wheel balance testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, the I-beam reel, a crucial component widely used in the manufacturing of cables, wire ropes, and other products, has a vital impact on the balance of the production process and the quality of the final product. In actual production, an unbalanced I-beam reel will generate severe vibrations when rotating at high speeds. This not only leads to accelerated wear and tear on production equipment, shortens its service life, and increases maintenance costs, but may also cause safety hazards, threatening the personal safety of operators. At the same time, an unbalanced I-beam reel will cause uneven stress on the cables or wire ropes wound around it, resulting in product quality defects, such as uneven cable thickness and inconsistent wire rope strength, thus reducing the product's market competitiveness.

[0003] In the early days, the balance test of I-beams mainly relied on manual experience for judgment. This method was not only inefficient, but also difficult to guarantee the accuracy of the test results. With the development of industrial automation, some simple balance test fixtures began to appear, but they generally had many problems. For example, traditional fixtures had poor versatility and were often only applicable to specific sizes of I-beams. When faced with I-beams of various sizes, companies needed to purchase a large number of different types of fixtures, which undoubtedly increased production costs.

[0004] Furthermore, traditional tooling has a relatively simple clamping method, making it difficult to adapt to I-beams with different structures and materials. For some special I-beam structures, such as those with complex internal reinforcing ribs or special external coatings, traditional tooling cannot provide stable clamping, causing the I-beams to easily shift, slip, or deform during the inspection process, seriously affecting the accuracy of the inspection results. Moreover, the connecting parts of traditional tooling are not stable enough, and they are prone to loosening during long-term high-speed rotation inspection, which not only affects the inspection accuracy but may also damage the tooling and the I-beam being inspected.

[0005] With the increasing demands for the quality of I-beam wheels in industrial production and the continuous expansion of production scale, developing a high-precision, highly versatile, adaptable, and securely connected balancing testing fixture has become a problem for the industry. To address this, we provide an I-beam wheel balancing testing fixture to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] (a) Technical problems to be solved

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the existing technology and provide a tooling for testing the balance of an I-beam wheel.

[0008] (II) Technical Solution

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a balancing fixture for an I-beam wheel, comprising a rotating head with mounting holes, the rotating head being connected to a lathe rotating mechanism via bolts through the mounting holes, a fixing hole on the rotating head, a connecting assembly being provided in the fixing hole, a positioning bolt in the connecting assembly being perpendicular to the central axis of the rotating head, and fixing the connecting assembly to the rotating head, and a fixture being fixed on the connecting assembly, the fixture being divided into three parts evenly distributed on the surface of the rotating head, the distance between the fixtures and the central axis of the rotating head being adjustable according to the size of the I-beam wheel.

[0010] Furthermore, the connecting component includes a positioning member and a connecting member. The connecting member is disposed in a positioning hole opened in the positioning member. A second encapsulation hole is opened on the side of the positioning member and the connecting member. A second fixing bolt is disposed in the second encapsulation hole, and the positioning member is fixed to the connecting member by the second fixing bolt.

[0011] Furthermore, the tooling fixture has a positioning groove on its side, and the connector is set in the positioning groove of the tooling fixture. The connector has a first sealing hole perpendicular to the positioning groove, and the connector is connected to the tooling fixture through a first fixing bolt in the first sealing hole.

[0012] Furthermore, the tooling fixture is a U-shaped fixture, which clamps the I-beam wheel from the outside in.

[0013] Furthermore, the tooling fixture is a circular fixture, and it supports and clamps the I-beam wheel from the inside out.

[0014] Furthermore, as stated above.

[0015] (III) Beneficial Effects:

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, this I-beam wheel balance testing fixture has the following advantages:

[0017] I. This utility model connects the rotating head to the lathe's rotating mechanism, allowing the tooling to simulate the actual rotation state of the I-beam during testing. This accurately detects the I-beam's balance performance, preventing vibration, noise, and equipment damage caused by imbalance during actual use, thus improving product quality and safety. The tooling uses three evenly distributed adjustable fixtures to stably clamp the I-beam from multiple directions, reducing testing errors. It is also suitable for I-beams of different specifications, reducing the cost for companies to purchase various toolings and improving the efficiency of testing equipment.

[0018] II. This utility model uses a connecting component secured by a positioning bolt and a second fixing bolt, ensuring a stable connection and preventing loosening of the connecting parts during high-speed rotation of the tooling, thus guaranteeing testing accuracy. Simultaneously, the detachable connection facilitates tooling maintenance and parts replacement, reducing equipment downtime and improving production efficiency. The positioning groove of the tooling fixture cooperates with the first fixing bolt, enhancing the reliability of the connection with the connecting parts and preventing displacement or detachment of the tooling fixture. The positioning groove also provides precise positioning for installation, improving the assembly efficiency of the tooling.

[0019] Third, this utility model employs a U-shaped clamp and a circular clamp. The U-shaped clamp tightens from the outside in, which can closely fit the smooth or regular outer circumference of the I-beam wheel, preventing slippage or jumping during testing and ensuring accurate test results. It is also easy to operate. The circular clamp supports and clamps from the inside out, which is suitable for I-beam wheels with complex internal structures or those requiring internal support. It avoids deformation caused by external clamping, expands the applicability of the tooling, and can also be used for testing different models of I-beam wheels. Attached Figure Description

[0028] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. 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.

[0029] like Figure 1-7 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a balancing fixture for I-beam wheels, including a rotating head 1 and a mounting hole 2 in the rotating head 1. The rotating head 1 is connected to the lathe rotating mechanism via bolts through the mounting hole 2. Through this connection method, the fixture can achieve stable high-speed rotation with the help of the lathe rotating mechanism, providing a motion basis for the balancing detection of the I-beam wheels. This allows the I-beam wheels to simulate the rotation state during actual work during the detection process, thereby more accurately detecting their balance performance and avoiding problems such as vibration, noise, or even equipment damage caused by imbalance in actual use, effectively improving the quality and safety of the product.

[0030] The rotating head 1 has a fixing hole 3, and a connecting component 4 is installed in the fixing hole 3. The positioning bolt 43 in the connecting component 4 is perpendicular to the central axis of the rotating head 1 and fixes the connecting component 4 to the rotating head 1. A tooling fixture 5 is fixed on the connecting component 4. The tooling fixture 5 is divided into three parts and evenly distributed on the surface of the rotating head 1. The distance between the tooling fixture 5 and the central axis of the rotating head 1 can be adjusted according to the size of the I-beam. The evenly distributed design of the tooling fixture 5 allows a stable force to be applied to the I-beam from multiple directions when clamping it, ensuring the stability of the I-beam during the rotation detection process and reducing detection errors caused by uneven clamping. The adjustable distance function greatly improves the versatility of the tooling, making it applicable to I-beams of different specifications. This reduces the cost for enterprises to purchase multiple toolings for detecting I-beams of different sizes and improves the efficiency of the detection equipment.

[0031] Specifically, the connecting assembly 4 includes a positioning member 41 and a connecting member 44. The connecting member 44 is disposed in a positioning hole 42 opened in the positioning member 41. A second sealing hole 48 is opened on the side of the positioning member 41 and the connecting member 44. A second fixing bolt 47 is disposed in the second sealing hole 48, and the positioning member 41 is fixed to the connecting member 44 by the second fixing bolt 47. This structural design makes the connection of the connecting assembly 4 more stable. During the high-speed rotation of the tooling, it can effectively prevent the connecting member 44 from loosening, ensuring that the tooling fixture 5 is always kept in the correct position, thereby ensuring stable clamping and accurate detection of the I-beam wheel. At the same time, this detachable connection method facilitates the maintenance of the tooling and the replacement of parts. When a component is damaged, it can be quickly repaired or replaced, reducing equipment downtime and improving production efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the tooling fixture 5 has a positioning groove 6 on its side, and the connector 44 is disposed in the positioning groove 6 of the tooling fixture 5. The connector 44 has a first sealing hole 46 perpendicular to the positioning groove 6, and the connector 44 is connected to the tooling fixture 5 through the first fixing bolt 45 in the first sealing hole 46. The matching design of the positioning groove 6 and the first fixing bolt 45 further enhances the connection reliability between the tooling fixture 5 and the connector 44, preventing the tooling fixture 5 from shifting or falling off during the testing process. At the same time, the presence of the positioning groove 6 also provides precise positioning for the installation of the tooling fixture 5, enabling the tooling fixture 5 to be installed on the connector 44 quickly and accurately, thus improving the assembly efficiency of the tooling.

[0033] Specifically, the tooling fixture 5 is a U-shaped fixture 51, which clamps the I-beam from the outside in. This clamping method can closely fit the outer circumference of the I-beam. For some I-beams with relatively smooth outer surfaces or regular shapes, it can provide stable clamping force, effectively preventing the I-beam from sliding or jumping during rotation detection, ensuring the accuracy of the detection results. At the same time, the clamping method from the outside in makes it easy to release the fixture and remove the I-beam after the detection is completed, making the operation simple and convenient.

[0034] Specifically, the tooling fixture 5 is a circular fixture 52, which supports and clamps the I-beam from the inside out. For some cases with complex internal structures, or where internal support is required to ensure that the shape of the I-beam remains unchanged during the testing process, this clamping method of the circular fixture 52 is particularly important. It can provide uniform support force to the I-beam from the inside, avoiding deformation of the I-beam caused by external clamping, thereby ensuring that the test results truly reflect the balance performance of the I-beam. Moreover, this clamping method can also adapt to some I-beams with special structures, further expanding the applicability of the tooling.
