Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of wheel hub bearing processing equipment, specifically a wheel hub bearing inner ring positioning device. Background Technology
[0002] Wheel hub bearings are the core components of automotive transmission systems. Their machining accuracy directly affects the bearing's load-bearing capacity, rotational accuracy, and service life. In the manufacturing process of wheel hub bearings, the machining of the bearing inner ring is particularly critical, usually involving multiple processes such as inner hole, outer circle, and end face. The precise positioning and stable clamping of the inner ring are the foundation for ensuring machining accuracy.
[0003] In existing technologies, the bearing inner ring is fixed by radial expansion from the inner hole of the bearing inner ring using a clamp. However, the contact area between the clamping claws and the inner hole wall of traditional internal support clamps is limited, and the clamping force is unevenly distributed, which can easily lead to deformation of the inner ring or insecure clamping. This is especially prone to loosening during high-speed cutting, affecting machining accuracy. Alternatively, the bearing inner ring can be clamped from the outside using a clamp. Although this method can provide a larger clamping force, since the outer wall of the bearing inner ring is usually arc-shaped or has grooves, ordinary flat claws cannot fit tightly, resulting in mismatch of clamping contact surfaces. This can easily cause local stress concentration and even damage to the workpiece surface. Utility Model Content
[0004] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a positioning device that can provide precise clamping, improve processing efficiency, and has good flexibility of use.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to achieve the above-mentioned objective is as follows: a positioning device for inner ring machining of wheel hub bearings, comprising a device frame, a positioning disk, an electric telescopic cylinder, and a clamping claw platform. The positioning disk is fixedly connected to one end of the device frame. Multiple sets of motion platforms are slidably connected in a circular array on the positioning disk. Each set of motion platforms is fixedly connected to the clamping claw platform. One side of the clamping claw platform is provided with a clamping groove A, and the other side is provided with a clamping groove B. The clamping groove A matches the inner wall contour of the bearing inner ring, and the clamping groove B matches the outer wall contour of the bearing inner ring. A traction platform is slidably connected inside the device frame. A traction arm is rotatably connected to each set of motion platforms on the traction platform. One end of the traction arm is rotatably connected to the corresponding motion platform. The electric telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected inside the device frame, and the piston end of the electric telescopic cylinder is fixedly connected to the traction platform.
[0006] In the above technical solution, the positioning disk is provided with multiple sets of sliding slots in a circular array, and the motion table is slidably connected in each set of sliding slots.
[0007] In the above technical solution, multiple sets of sliding columns are fixedly connected inside the device frame, and the traction table is slidably connected to the sliding columns.
[0008] In the above technical solution, a rotating platform A is fixedly connected to one side of the motion platform near the device frame, a rotating platform B is fixedly connected to the traction platform corresponding to the rotating platform A, and rotating shafts are fixedly connected to both ends of the traction arm. One set of rotating shafts is rotatably connected to the rotating platform A, and the other set of rotating shafts is rotatably connected to the rotating platform B.
[0009] In the above technical solution, the motion table is provided with a plug groove on the side away from the device frame, and a screw hole is provided on the side of the motion table located at the plug groove. A plug block is fixedly connected to the clamping claw table. Each set of screw holes on the clamping claw table is provided with an installation hole. The plug block is fitted into the plug groove. The installation hole corresponds one-to-one with the screw hole. A bolt is provided in the installation hole, and the bolt is threaded into the screw hole.
[0010] In the above technical solution, rubber pads are fixedly connected to the inner walls of both clamping groove A and clamping groove B.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0012] 1. The electric telescopic cylinder drives the traction table to move linearly. Then, under the action of the traction arm, multiple sets of moving tables, together with the clamping jaws, can move radially linearly synchronously. This allows the clamping jaws to fix the inner ring of the bearing, providing excellent automatic centering and preventing the inner ring from misaligning. When machining the inner ring, the clamping jaws are located inside the inner hole of the bearing. The electric telescopic cylinder drives multiple sets of clamping jaws to move away from each other, so that the clamping grooves A of the multiple sets of clamping jaws provide internal support and fixation to the inner wall of the bearing inner ring. This allows machining of the outer wall of the bearing inner ring. When machining the inner ring, the clamping jaws are located outside the bearing inner ring. The electric telescopic cylinder drives multiple sets of clamping jaws to move closer together, so that the clamping grooves B of the multiple sets of clamping jaws can clamp and fix the inner ring. This allows machining of the inner wall of the bearing inner ring without changing the fixture, significantly improving machining efficiency.
[0013] 2. The clamping jaw stage is equipped with a clamping groove A that matches the inner wall of the bearing inner ring and a clamping groove B that matches the outer wall of the bearing inner ring. This increases the contact area when the clamping jaw stage fixes the bearing inner ring, thereby improving the fixing effect and ensuring the stability of the bearing inner ring during processing. Furthermore, the clamping groove A and clamping groove B are matched with the contour of the bearing inner ring, which can further improve the clamping accuracy.
[0014] 3. The clamping jaws and the moving table are fixedly connected by bolts, which allows for quick replacement of clamping jaws of different specifications (such as to accommodate different bearing sizes), making it more flexible to use. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0021] Please see Figure 1-4 A positioning device for inner ring machining of wheel hub bearings includes a device frame 100, a positioning disk 200, an electric telescopic cylinder 300, and a clamping claw stage 400. First, the positioning disk 200 is fixedly connected to one end of the device frame 100. The positioning disk 200 is provided with multiple sets of sliding through grooves 201 arranged in a ring. Each set of sliding through grooves 201 is slidably connected to a moving table 500. Each set of moving tables 500 is fixedly connected to a set of clamping claw stages 400. The clamping claw stage 400 is provided with a clamping groove A401 on one side facing inward and a clamping groove B402 on the other side. The clamping groove A401 matches the inner wall contour of the bearing inner ring, while the clamping groove B402 matches the outer wall contour of the bearing inner ring.
[0022] Furthermore, multiple sets of sliding columns 600 are fixedly connected inside the device frame 100. A traction platform 700 is slidably connected to the sliding column 600. A traction arm 800 is rotatably connected to each set of motion platform 500 on the traction platform 700. One end of the traction arm 800 is rotatably connected to the corresponding motion platform 500. Specifically, a rotating platform A501 is fixedly connected to the side of the motion platform 500 closest to the device frame 100. A rotating platform B701 is fixedly connected to the traction platform 700 corresponding to the rotating platform A501. Rotating shafts are fixedly connected to both ends of the traction arm 800. One set of rotating shafts is rotatably connected to the rotating platform A501, and the other set of rotating shafts is rotatably connected to the rotating platform B701.
[0023] In addition, an electric telescopic cylinder 300 is fixedly connected inside the device frame 100. The piston end of the electric telescopic cylinder 300 is fixedly connected to the traction table 700. The electric telescopic cylinder 300 can be replaced by a hydraulic telescopic cylinder or any component that can provide axial movement force to the traction table 700. When it is necessary to fix the inner ring of the bearing, the electric telescopic cylinder 300 can drive the traction table 700 to move linearly. Then, under the action of the traction arm 800, multiple sets of moving tables 500 together with the clamping claw table 400 can move radially linearly in sync, thereby fixing the inner ring of the bearing through the clamping claw table 400. This automatic centering effect is excellent and avoids the inner ring of the bearing from being misaligned.
[0024] When the outer wall of the bearing inner ring needs to be machined, the clamping claw stage 400 is located in the inner hole of the bearing inner ring. The electric telescopic cylinder 300 drives multiple sets of clamping claw stages 400 to move away from each other, so that the clamping grooves A401 of the multiple sets of clamping claw stages 400 support the inner wall of the bearing inner ring, thereby achieving fixation.
[0025] When the inner wall of the bearing inner ring needs to be machined, the clamping claw stage 400 is located outside the bearing inner ring. The electric telescopic cylinder 300 drives the multiple sets of clamping claw stages 400 to move closer to each other, so that the clamping grooves B402 of the multiple sets of clamping claw stages 400 can clamp and fix the bearing inner ring.
[0026] With the above structure, when machining the outer and inner walls of the bearing inner ring, there is no need to change the fixture, which significantly improves the machining efficiency. Furthermore, rubber pads are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the clamping groove A401 and the clamping groove B402. The rubber pads increase the friction force to improve the clamping stability and also prevent wear between the clamping claw stage 400 and the bearing inner ring.
[0027] In a further optimized configuration, the motion table 500 has a slot 502 on the side away from the device frame 100, and a screw hole 503 is provided on the side of the motion table 500 located in the slot 502. A plug block 403 is fixedly connected to the clamping claw table 400. Each set of screw holes 503 on the clamping claw table 400 has a mounting hole 404. The plug block 403 is fitted into the slot 502. The mounting hole 404 corresponds one-to-one with the screw hole 503. A bolt 900 is provided in the mounting hole 404 and threaded into the screw hole 503. This allows the clamping claw table 400 to be quickly replaced with different specifications (such as to adapt to different bearing sizes), making it more flexible to use. The cooperation between the plug block 403 and the slot 502 can achieve pre-fixation between the motion table 500 and the clamping claw table 400, which facilitates the subsequent installation of the bolt 900.
