Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive brake drum manufacturing technology, specifically to an automotive brake drum outer cylindrical end face device. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive brake drum is the core component of a drum braking system. Typically made of cast iron, it is installed inside the wheel and connected to the wheel hub. Its function is to convert the rotational kinetic energy of the wheel into heat energy by having the internal brake shoes expand outward under hydraulic pressure, creating frictional resistance against the inner wall of the brake drum. This allows the vehicle to decelerate or stop. This structure features strong braking force, low cost, and easy maintenance, and is commonly found in the rear wheel braking systems of commercial vehicles and economy cars. The automotive brake drum is cylindrical in shape. After the brake drum blank is manufactured, the outer cylindrical end face of the brake drum needs to be machined to ensure assembly accuracy. This requires an automotive brake drum outer cylindrical end face assembly. Currently, most automotive brake drum outer cylindrical end face assemblies are made of… The device consists of a lathe and a three-jaw chuck. When cutting the end face of an automotive brake drum, the three jaws of the three-jaw chuck first move outward to contact the inner wall of the brake drum, thus limiting the brake drum. Then, the motor drives the spindle to rotate, and at the same time, the two-axis module drives the tool holder and cutting tool to move, cutting the outer cylindrical end face of the automotive brake drum. Traditional automotive brake drum outer cylindrical end face cutting devices fix the automotive brake drum by having the jaws of the three-jaw chuck contact the inner wall of the brake drum. When the cutting tool contacts the high-speed rotating brake drum, the outer surface of the brake drum lacks limiting, which can easily cause tilting and affect the cutting accuracy of the outer cylindrical end face of the automotive brake drum. Therefore, we propose an automotive brake drum outer cylindrical end face cutting device. Utility Model Content

[0022] The working principle of the automotive brake drum outer end face device provided by this utility model is as follows: When cutting the outer end face of the automotive brake drum, first fix the automotive brake drum, adjust the position of clamping block 464 according to the thickness of the automotive brake drum wall, rotate the four knobs 466 the same number of turns, driving the moving block 463 and clamping block 464 to move. When the knob 466 rotates clockwise, clamping block 464 moves inward, and when the knob 466 rotates counterclockwise, clamping block 464 moves outward, until the four clamping blocks 464 move to the appropriate position, and one end of the automotive brake drum is attached to the right end of the mounting shell 3, so that the four clamping blocks 45 are located inside the mounting shell 3 and the four clamping blocks 464 are located outside the mounting shell 3. At this time, the microcontroller 9 controls the motor 47 to run through the conduction of the conductive slip ring 48 and the contact head 49. The motor 47 outputs... The output shaft drives the external gear ring 41 to rotate, and the gear 42 also rotates accordingly. As the gear 42 rotates, the four rack plates 44 move outward synchronously, driving the slider 43 and clamping block 45 to move outward synchronously. The four rack plates 462 also move inward synchronously, driving the slider 461 and clamping block 464 to move inward synchronously. When the clamping block 45 is in contact with the inner wall of the brake drum, the clamping block 464 is also in contact with the outer surface of the brake drum. At this time, the inner wall and outer surface of the brake drum are simultaneously limited, making the brake drum more stable. Then, the microcontroller 9 controls the motor 5 to run. The motor 5 drives the main shaft 2 and the mounting shell 3 to rotate, and the brake drum also rotates at high speed. The two-axis module 6 works to drive the tool holder 7 and the cutting tool 8 to move, so that the cutting tool 8 can precisely cut the outer end face of the brake drum, realizing the cutting work of the outer end face of the automobile brake drum.
