The rim is an important part of the bicycle and motorcycle, and its quality directly affects the driving safety. In the manufacturing process of the rim, drilling is a key step, and a special drilling flange is needed to assist in positioning the rim to ensure the accuracy of the hole position. In addition, the material of the flange also affects the drilling effect and stability. Currently, aluminum flanges are widely used in rim manufacturing due to their lightweight, corrosion resistance and other advantages.
[0003] However, in the existing technology, different drilling flanges are usually needed for different outer diameters of the rim. This is because the positioning and clamping positions of rims with different outer diameters are different, and specially designed flanges are needed to ensure the accuracy of drilling. The drilling flange works in pairs, with the lower flange holding the rim and slotting downward, and the outer diameter of the slot is approximately the same as that of the rim, which constrains the aluminum ring and ensures its concentricity. The upper flange does not slot and presses the rim. Therefore, the problem in actual operation is that different drilling flanges are needed for rims with different outer diameters, which undoubtedly increases the production and management costs. Secondly, since the material of the flange is mainly aluminum, its hardness and wear resistance are relatively poor, which can easily wear out during drilling, affecting the positioning accuracy and thus the drilling accuracy.
