Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inner ring orientation and positioning technology for wheel hub bearings, and particularly to an inner ring orientation and positioning structure for wheel hub bearing processing. Background Technology

[0002] The inner ring orientation and positioning structure used for wheel hub bearing machining is a device that ensures that the inner ring of the wheel hub bearing is in a precise position and orientation during machining. Its function is to ensure machining accuracy, improve production efficiency and product quality, and reduce machining costs. Usually, the wheel hub bearing needs to be limited in various ways before machining operations can be carried out.

[0003] Currently, the end face runout of third-generation automotive wheel hub bearing units is generally required to be 0.050mm, with some requiring as much as 0.035mm. Under normal process conditions, the runout can be well controlled within this range with existing technology. However, some customers have higher precision requirements for the end face runout of third-generation wheel hub bearing units, that is, to control the end face runout value within the range of 0.020mm or even 0.010mm. To meet this requirement for the currently manufactured products, further processing is required, but this processing is difficult and cannot currently meet the usage requirements well.

[0004] Existing patent (publication number: CN218503907U) discloses a positioning fixture for machining the end face of a wheel hub bearing, comprising a base, a connecting member, and a fastening sleeve for connecting to the inner ring of the bearing. The base has a fastening hole along its circumference for fastening to the tailstock of a lathe, and an installation step for fastening to the outer ring of the bearing to be machined. The fastening sleeve has a cut-out, and connecting platforms are respectively provided at both ends of the fastening sleeve. Threaded holes are provided on the two connecting platforms, and fastening screws are threaded into the threaded holes. The connecting member has a connecting port for connecting to the soft jaws of the lathe spindle. A transmission component is provided between the connecting member and the fastening sleeve for rotating the fastening sleeve when the connecting member rotates. Its structure is simple, effectively connecting the wheel hub bearing to the lathe for end face machining, and is easy to operate, with good performance.

[0005] To address the aforementioned issues, existing patents offer solutions. However, the existing inner ring orientation and positioning structures for wheel bearings all involve directly using a disc of the same size as the inner ring of the wheel bearing, placing the wheel bearing on the surface of the disc, and positioning the inner ring of the wheel bearing. While this method can position the inner ring of the wheel bearing, it is quite troublesome when the wheel bearing needs to be removed, and the wheel bearing itself cannot guarantee stability when positioning the inner ring, resulting in insufficient practicality.

[0006] Therefore, an inner ring orientation positioning structure for wheel hub bearing machining is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide an inner ring orientation and positioning structure for wheel hub bearing processing. This structure solves the problems of existing inner ring orientation and positioning structures for wheel hub bearing processing, which directly use a disc equal in size to the inner ring of the wheel hub bearing, and then place the wheel hub bearing on the surface of the disc to position the inner ring of the wheel hub bearing. Although this method can position the inner ring of the wheel hub bearing, it is cumbersome when the wheel hub bearing needs to be removed, and the wheel hub bearing itself cannot guarantee stability when positioning the inner ring, resulting in insufficient practicality.

[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an inner ring orientation and positioning structure for machining wheel hub bearings, comprising a machining table, a wheel hub bearing body fixedly connected to the top of the machining table, a positioning mechanism fixedly connected to the bottom of the machining table, and a limit mechanism fixedly connected to the top of the machining table;

[0009] The positioning mechanism includes a hydraulic cylinder, a mounting rod, a mounting ring, a connecting rod, a limiting ring, an expansion ring, and an inner cavity. The hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing table, the mounting rod is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the hydraulic cylinder, the mounting ring is fixedly sleeved on the surface of the mounting rod, the connecting rod is movably connected to the top of the mounting ring, the limiting ring is movably connected to the top of the connecting rod, the expansion ring is sleeved on the surface of the limiting ring, and the inner cavity is formed in the inner wall of the wheel hub bearing body.

[0010] Preferably, the limiting mechanism includes an electric push rod, a clamp, and a threaded rod. The electric push rod is fixedly connected to both sides of the top of the processing table, the clamp is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the electric push rod, and threaded holes are opened on the inner wall of the wheel hub bearing body and the inner wall of the processing table. The threaded rod is threadedly connected to the inner wall of the threaded hole.

[0011] Preferably, a mounting bracket is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing table, and the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting bracket.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the processing table is provided with a groove, and the size of the groove is adapted to the size of the limiting ring.

[0013] Preferably, a limiting plate is fixedly connected to the bottom of the processing table, and the mounting rod passes through the inner wall of the limiting plate.

[0014] Preferably, the top of the limiting plate is provided with a placement groove, and the size of the mounting ring is adapted to the size of the placement groove.

[0015] Preferably, a limiting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the processing table, and the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the limiting frame.

[0016] Preferably, a PLC controller is fixedly connected to the front side of the processing table, and the size of the fixture is adapted to the size of the wheel hub bearing body.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0018] 1. This application utilizes the coordinated action of components such as the hydraulic cylinder, mounting rod, connecting rod, limiting ring, and expansion ring in the positioning mechanism. When the hydraulic cylinder pushes the mounting rod upward, the mounting ring drives the connecting rod upward, which in turn causes the limiting ring to rise and the expansion ring to expand. This allows for internal positioning of the wheel hub bearing body. Compared to the traditional disc positioning method, this method is more convenient for removing the wheel hub bearing body, requiring only the control of the hydraulic cylinder to descend. The operation is simple and quick.

[0019] 2. This application uses an electric push rod and clamp in the limiting mechanism to clamp and limit the wheel hub bearing body from the outside. In conjunction with the positioning mechanism, it further ensures the stability of the wheel hub bearing body during the processing, and improves the processing accuracy and practicality.
