Detailed Implementation

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Reference Figures 1-4 A heavy wheel detection device includes two conveying mechanisms 1 arranged in parallel, each conveying mechanism 1 having a mounting platform 2 mounted on its top. Figure 1 (Multiple mounting platforms 2 indicate their positions at different testing stages). A moving mechanism is provided between the conveying mechanism 1 and the mounting platforms 2. The moving mechanism includes a slide plate 1-2 fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting platform 2. The slide plate 1-2 is slidably connected to the frame 1-1. A moving motor 1-3 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the slide plate 1-2. A gear 1-4 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the moving motor 1-3. A rack plate 1-5 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 1-1. The gear 1-4 meshes with the rack plate 1-5. The rotation of the moving motor 1-3 drives the gear 1-4 to rotate, thereby moving the slide plate 1-2, the mounting platform 2, and the Taiyuan Heavy Wheel Body 3 to three positions. One position is used to detect the circumferential flatness of the Taiyuan Heavy Wheel Body 3, another position is used to detect the end face flatness of the Taiyuan Heavy Wheel Body 3, and the third position is used to flip the Taiyuan Heavy Wheel Body 3 from the left to the right, realizing two-sided testing.

[0023] The top of the mounting platform 2 is equipped with the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3. The mounting platform 2 is equipped with an adjustment mechanism, which includes a housing 2-1, a lifting hydraulic rod 2-2, a lifting plate 2-3, a rotary motor 2-4, and a three-jaw chuck 2-5. The lifting hydraulic rod 2-2 is located inside the housing 2-1 and is fixedly connected to its bottom. The lifting plate 2-3 is fixedly connected to the output end of the lifting hydraulic rod 2-2. The rotary motor 2-4 is located on the top of the lifting plate 2-3 and is fixedly connected to it. The output shaft end of the rotary motor 2-4 is fixedly connected to the three-jaw chuck 2-5. The Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 is mounted on the three-jaw chuck 2-5. The three-jaw chuck 2-5 can install and fix the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3, and the lifting hydraulic rod 2-2 can drive the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 to move up and down. The rotary motor 2-4 can drive the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 to rotate.

[0024] A rangefinder 4 is installed between the two transmission mechanisms 1. The rangefinder 4 emits a laser to measure the distance to the circumference of the wheel body 3 of the heavy-duty vehicle. The distance is observed to change as the wheel body 3 is rotated. If the distance changes, it indicates that the circumference of the wheel is not round. If the distance remains unchanged, it indicates that the circumference of the wheel is round. The roundness of the wheel body 3 of the heavy-duty vehicle is checked. A bracket is fixedly connected to the top of the rangefinder 4. The top of the bracket is equipped with mounting ears. The bracket can be fixed to the top of the wall with bolts.

[0025] Each conveying mechanism 1 is equipped with a detection mechanism 5 above it. The detection mechanism 5 includes a door body 5-1, a fixing frame 5-2, and a detection head 5-3. There are two fixing frames 5-2, which are fixedly connected to the side wall of the door body 5-1. There are two detection heads 5-3, which are fixedly connected to their corresponding fixing frames 5-2. A displacement sensor is installed at the bottom of the detection head 5-3. The displacement sensor measures the distance from the sensor to the end face of the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3. When the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 rotates, the value measured by the displacement sensor is checked to see if it changes (when the displacement sensor value remains unchanged, it indicates that the end face of the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 is horizontal; when the displacement sensor value fluctuates greatly, it indicates that the end face of the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 is not horizontal).

[0026] A flipping mechanism 6 is installed between the two conveying mechanisms 1. The flipping mechanism 6 includes a flipping frame 6-1. A flipping motor 6-2 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the flipping frame 6-1. A flipping frame 6-3 is fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the flipping motor 6-2. Two fixing plates 6-4 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the flipping frame 6-3. A hydraulic rod is fixedly connected to each fixing plate 6-4. A clamping plate 6-5 is fixedly connected to the output end of each hydraulic rod. When the hydraulic rod is activated, the two clamping plates 6-5 are driven to abut and clamp against both ends of the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3, thereby limiting the movement of the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3. By flipping the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 180 degrees, it moves to another detection line to perform flatness detection on the other end.

[0027] In this invention, the operator places the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 onto the mounting platform 2 and clamps and fixes it using the three-jaw chuck 2-5 to ensure its stability during subsequent testing. The flatness of the Taiyuan Heavy Machinery wheel body 3 can be tested using a rangefinder 4 (the rangefinder 4 emits a laser to measure the distance to the circumference of the wheel body 3; the distance changes as the wheel body 3 rotates; a change in distance indicates the wheel's circumference is not round, while no change indicates the wheel's circumference is round). The rotary motor is then started. 2-4, the output shaft of the rotary motor 2-4 drives the three-jaw chuck 2-5 and the Taiyuan Heavy Duty Wheel Body 3 to rotate, allowing for a circumferential inspection of the Taiyuan Heavy Duty Wheel Body 3; starting the moving motor 1-3 drives the gear 1-4 to rotate, causing the slide plate 1-2 to slide on the frame 1-1, and the movement of the slide plate 1-2 moves the mounting platform 2 and the Taiyuan Heavy Duty Wheel Body 3 to the inspection mechanism 5; starting the lifting hydraulic rod 2-2 moves the lifting plate 2-3, the rotary motor 2-4, the three-jaw chuck 2-5, and the Taiyuan Heavy Duty Wheel Body 3 to a suitable position, through... The displacement sensor measures the distance between itself and the wheel body 3. The wheel body 3 is rotated by the rotary motor 2-4, and the displacement sensor reading changes (when the reading remains constant within a certain range, it indicates the end face of the wheel body 3 is level; when the reading fluctuates significantly, it indicates the end face is not level). After the test, the moving motor 1-3 moves the wheel body 3 to a suitable position. The tilting motor 6-2 is then activated, and its output shaft rotates the tilting frame 6-3 and the two fixing plates 6-4 to both sides of the wheel body 3. The hydraulic rod then moves the clamping plate 6-5 to abut against the circumferential surface of the wheel body 3, clamping and fixing it in place. The tilting motor 6-2 is then activated again, rotating the wheel body 3 180 degrees to the mounting platform 2 on the right. The other side of the wheel body 3 can then be tested for circumferential flatness using the right-side conveyor mechanism 1 and the mounting platform 2, thus achieving flatness testing of both sides of the wheel body 3.

[0028] This invention enables the inspection of heavy-duty wheels by setting up a rangefinder and an inspection mechanism. The wheel can be flipped using a flipping mechanism, allowing for inspection of both sides. This solves the problems of existing technologies that mainly rely on manual measurement using tools such as micrometers and calipers, resulting in low efficiency, measurement accuracy greatly affected by human factors, and inability to achieve continuous full-circumference inspection. Furthermore, existing inspection devices can only inspect one end face of the heavy-duty wheel. When the other end face needs to be inspected, the inspection device must be stopped, the wheel removed, and then flipped to achieve inspection of the other end face, which is a very cumbersome process.
