Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel hubs, specifically an automatic dehydration and drying wheel hub processing device. Background Technology
[0002] As a crucial component of automobiles, the quality and performance of wheel hubs directly affect vehicle safety and driving stability. During wheel hub production, surface moisture removal is a critical step. Traditionally, after processing, wheel hubs often retain some moisture. If this moisture is not removed promptly, it not only affects the quality of subsequent processing but may also negatively impact storage and use. Currently, surface moisture removal primarily involves manual wiping or natural air drying. However, manual wiping is inefficient and struggles to ensure uniformity and thoroughness; natural air drying is time-consuming and cannot meet the pace requirements of modern production lines. To address these issues, some wheel hub dehydration equipment has emerged, but these devices often only dehydrate wheels of specific sizes. For different wheel sizes, different parts need to be replaced or equipment parameters adjusted, resulting in cumbersome and inefficient operation. Therefore, we propose an automated dehydration and drying wheel hub processing device. Utility Model Content

[0054] Working principle: In use, the hub is first placed on the two sets of support plates 8, and the insertion rod 21 is pulled. As the insertion rod 21 slides on the component frame 20, it is squeezed by the compression plate 22, which compresses the return spring 23. The return spring 23 is deformed and shortened after being squeezed until the end of the insertion rod 21 is disengaged from the insertion hole 19. The component rod 16 is rotated, and the two sets of racks 13 are separated from each other by meshing with the adjusting gear 17. When the adjusting gear 17 rotates, the clamping plate 11 moves through the two sets of straight rods 12, causing the support plate 8 at the end of the extension frame 7 to gradually fit against the inner wall of the hub. During the sliding of the clamping plate 11 on the cross frame 6, the limiting strip 15 slides in the cross groove 14 at the same time. To ensure the stability of the clamping plate 11 during sliding, the two sets of rubber strips 9 increase the friction when the support plate 8 is in contact with the inner wall of the wheel hub. When the two sets of support plates 8 are tightly in contact with the inner wall of the wheel hub, the insertion rod 21 is loosened so that the end of the insertion rod 21 is inserted into the insertion hole 19 when the disc 18 stops after rotating. The positions of the two sets of racks 13 are fixed, the drive motor 3 is started, and the output shaft of the drive motor 3 drives the rotating main shaft 5 to rotate, so that the cross frame 6 drives the wheel hub to rotate through the two sets of support plates 8. During the rotation of the wheel hub, the centrifugal force is used to dry the moisture on the outer surface. The sealing cover of the wheel hub drying box 1 is closed, and the wheel hub is dried.
