Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of bicycle wheel manufacturing technology, and in particular to a bicycle rim straightening machine. Background Technology
[0002] After the bicycle rim spokes are assembled, uneven spoke tension can cause the wheel to become unbalanced and skewed. A spoke straightening machine is needed to correct the spoke tension and maintain the wheel's roundness and balance. A bicycle rim clamping and straightening machine is a mechanical tool used to correct the runout, roundness, and symmetry of a bicycle rim. It achieves precise restoration of the rim's geometry by manually adjusting the spoke tension. Through the combined action of mechanical clamping, manual adjustment, and measurement feedback, the bicycle rim straightening machine achieves precise control of the rim's geometric parameters and is the core tool of traditional rim straightening technology.
[0003] Its working principle is as follows: the wheel is placed on the clamping mechanism of the straightening machine, the wheel is rotated, the flatness of the wheel edge is checked by the straightening block, and the tension of the spokes is adjusted to keep the wheel round and balanced.
[0004] However, existing straightening machines use a clamping rotating structure to straighten the wheel spoke tension by clamping a rotating shaft. The front of the rotating shaft is conical, and when inserted into the wheel's central axle hole, it is prone to jamming, leading to reduced straightening quality. Furthermore, the straightening shaft makes direct rotating contact with the product, damaging the product surface and causing a decline in product quality. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bicycle rim straightening machine to address the shortcomings of existing technologies.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0007] A bicycle rim straightening machine, characterized in that it includes a bracket, and a clamping mechanism and a straightening mechanism disposed on the bracket. The clamping mechanism includes a locking block, an adapter shaft, and a clamping shaft connected in sequence. One end of the locking block is provided with a shaft hole connection part, and the other end is provided with a bearing connection part. One end of the adapter shaft has a bearing embedded in its inner side, and the other end is detachably connected to the clamping shaft. The shaft hole connection part cooperates with the rim shaft hole and can be inserted into the rim shaft hole. The bearing connection part is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing. The straightening mechanism includes a straightening block disposed on the edge of the rim for detecting the flatness of the rim edge.
[0008] Furthermore, the outer surface of one end of the clamping shaft is provided with several grooves, and one end of the adapter shaft is provided with a connecting hole. The inner wall of the connecting hole is provided with several protrusions that cooperate with the grooves. The clamping shaft and the adapter shaft are connected to each other through the cooperation of the grooves and protrusions.
[0009] Furthermore, the protrusion is movably connected to the inner wall of the connecting hole and can move radially along the adapter shaft. A button is provided on the outer surface of the adapter shaft and connected to the protrusion. Pressing the button can control the movement of the protrusion.
[0010] Furthermore, the protrusions are evenly arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the connecting hole.
[0011] Furthermore, the clamping shaft is connected to the bracket via a support platform, and the clamping shaft is threadedly connected to the support platform. One end of the clamping shaft is provided with a rotating wheel, and when the rotating wheel is rotated, the clamping shaft moves back and forth along the axial direction.
[0012] Furthermore, the cross-section of the shaft hole connection is arc-shaped.
[0013] Furthermore, the bracket includes a base and a first support rod, the lower end of the first support rod being connected to the base and the upper end being connected to the support platform.
[0014] Furthermore, the bracket also includes a second support rod with a strip-shaped hole. The lower ends of both the first and second support rods are hinged to the base, and a connecting bolt passes through the strip-shaped hole and connects to the first support rod.
[0015] Furthermore, the correction block is connected to the first support rod via a third support rod.
[0016] Furthermore, a rim placement rack is provided next to the bracket for placing the rim to be tested.
[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0018] 1. The clamping structure of the straightening machine uses a clamping block and an adapter shaft to replace the original clamping structure. During the wheel straightening process, the rotation is smooth, and there is no longer friction caused by relative sliding between the wheel rim shaft hole and the straightening machine, which protects the product structure and improves the straightening accuracy.
[0019] 2. The adapter shaft and the clamping shaft are connected by movable protrusions and grooves. The adapter shaft can be easily installed and replaced by operating the button.
[0020] 3. The first and second support rods of the bracket are connected by bolts. By moving the bolts in the slotted holes, the distance between the wheel rim and the straightening block is changed, enabling the straightening machine to be used to inspect wheel rims of different specifications, thus improving the applicability of the straightening machine.

Figure 3 One end of the locking block 2 is provided with a shaft hole connecting part 21, and the other end is provided with a bearing connecting part 22. For example... Figure 4 , 5 One end of the adapter shaft 3 has a bearing 31 embedded inside, and the other end is detachably connected to the clamping shaft 4. The shaft hole connection part 21 mates with the rim shaft hole 51 and can be inserted into the rim shaft hole 51. The bearing connection part 22 is inserted into the inner ring of the bearing 31. The calibration mechanism includes a calibration block 6, which is set on the edge of the rim 5 and is used to detect the flatness of the edge of the rim 5.
[0034] Preferred, such as Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the outer surface of one end of the clamping shaft 4 is provided with several grooves 41, and one end of the adapter shaft 3 is provided with a connecting hole 32. The inner wall of the connecting hole 32 is provided with several protrusions 33 that movably connect with the grooves 41. The protrusions 33 are evenly arranged circumferentially along the inner wall of the connecting hole 32. The clamping shaft 4 and the adapter shaft 3 are connected to each other through the engagement of the grooves 41 and the protrusions 33. The protrusions 33 can move radially along the adapter shaft 3. A button 34 is provided on the outer surface of the adapter shaft 3 and connected to the protrusions 33. Pressing the button 34 controls the movement of the protrusions 33.
[0035] Preferred, such as Figure 2The clamping shaft 4 is connected to the bracket 1 via the support platform 7. The clamping shaft 4 is threadedly connected to the support platform 7. One end of the clamping shaft 4 is provided with a rotating wheel 8. When the rotating wheel 8 is rotated, the clamping shaft 4 moves back and forth along the axial direction.
[0036] Preferably, the cross-section of the shaft hole connection portion 21 is arc-shaped.
[0037] Preferred, such as Figure 1 The bracket 1 includes a base 11, a first support rod 12, and a second support rod 13. The second support rod 13 has a slotted hole 14.
