Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive processing equipment technology, and in particular to a flywheel balance detection and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] The primary function of the flywheel is to store energy and inertia beyond the engine's power stroke. The flywheel possesses a significant moment of inertia. Because the power strokes of each cylinder in an engine are discontinuous, the engine speed also varies. When the engine speed increases, the flywheel's kinetic energy increases, storing energy; when the engine speed decreases, the flywheel's kinetic energy decreases, releasing energy. Thus, the flywheel helps reduce speed fluctuations during engine operation. Therefore, the flywheel's own balance must meet standards. If the flywheel itself is not perfectly balanced, it will experience slight tilting or fluctuations during rotation. Therefore, balance testing is required during flywheel production.

[0003] In existing technologies, flywheel balance testing utilizes a dynamic balancing machine, which analyzes vibration signals to determine the flywheel's imbalance. As the flywheel rotates, the dynamic balancing machine collects vibration signals and analyzes the magnitude and location of the imbalance. Based on this data, counterweights are added or removed at appropriate locations on the flywheel to eliminate the imbalance.

[0004] In the existing technology, when installing the flywheel onto the dynamic balancing machine, it is usually done manually. Due to the large weight of the flywheel, manual handling is quite laborious, resulting in high labor intensity for the workers. After working for a long time, the workers will gradually accumulate fatigue, leading to a decrease in work efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: a flywheel balance detection and unloading device, including a dynamic balancing machine, a fixed seat on the side of the dynamic balancing machine, a support seat that can be raised and lowered on the fixed seat, a support column that is rotatably installed on the top of the support seat, a driving mechanism that is installed on the side wall of the support seat, the driving mechanism being used to drive the support column to rotate, a top plate that is fixedly installed on the top of the support column, and gripping mechanisms that are installed at both ends of the top plate, with two sets of gripping mechanisms arranged symmetrically.

[0007] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism includes a mounting plate, the interior of which is provided with a mounting cavity. Several sets of gripping rods are slidably mounted on the side wall of the mounting cavity, preferably three sets. The gripping rods are evenly distributed in an array on the mounting plate. A drive gear is rotatably mounted in the center of the mounting cavity. Each set of gripping rods has teeth fixedly mounted at one end near the drive gear, and the teeth mesh with the drive gear. The end of the gripping rod away from the drive gear has a downwardly bent portion, and an anti-slip pad is fixedly mounted on the inner side of the bent portion.

[0008] Furthermore, a top cover is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate, and a first motor is fixedly installed at the middle of the top end of the top rod. The power output shaft of the first motor is connected to the rotating shaft of the drive gear.

[0009] Furthermore, a connecting cylinder is provided around the first motor. The bottom end of the connecting cylinder is fixedly installed on the top cover, and the top end of the connecting cylinder is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate. Through holes with positions corresponding to the first motor are opened at both ends of the top plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a first gear, a second gear, and a second motor. The first gear is fixedly installed on the side of the support column, the second motor is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the support base, and the second gear is fixedly installed on the power output shaft of the second motor. The first gear and the second gear mesh with each other.

A hydraulic cylinder is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixed base, and the power output end of the hydraulic cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the support base.

[0012] Furthermore, a belt conveyor is provided on the side of the fixed base away from the dynamic balancing machine.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are that the design of this utility model is based on the design of a support base that can be raised and lowered on a fixed base. A support column is rotatably installed on the top of the support base. The support column is driven to rotate by a drive mechanism, so that two sets of gripping mechanisms reciprocate between the dynamic balancing machine and the belt conveyor. The rising and falling of the support base cooperates with the gripping mechanisms to grip and release the flywheel, so as to realize the automatic loading and unloading of the flywheel, thereby reducing the labor intensity of workers and improving the detection efficiency of the flywheel.

The two sets of gripping mechanisms are symmetrically arranged.

[0022] In this embodiment, the gripping mechanism includes a mounting disk 6, the interior of which is provided with a mounting cavity 61. Several sets of gripping rods 7 are slidably mounted on the side wall of the mounting cavity 61. Preferably, there are three sets of gripping rods 7, which are evenly distributed in an array on the mounting disk 6. A drive gear 8 is rotatably mounted in the center of the mounting cavity 61. A tooth 9 is fixedly mounted on one end of each gripping rod 7 near the drive gear 8, and the tooth 9 meshes with the drive gear 8. A downwardly bent portion 71 is provided on the end of the gripping rod 7 away from the drive gear 8. The inner side of the bent portion 71 is fixed... The device is equipped with anti-slip pads 72, and three sets of gripping rods 7 are staggered. The bent parts 71 of the three sets of gripping rods 7 are set vertically downward, and the bottom ends of the bent parts 71 are flush with each other. The top cover 10 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 6 by bolts. The top center of the top rod is fixedly installed with a first motor 11 by a motor bracket. The power output shaft of the first motor 11 is connected to the rotating shaft of the drive gear 8. The first motor 11 drives the drive gear 8 to rotate. The drive gear 8 and the tooth 9 cooperate to make the drive rod retract or open, so as to realize the gripping and releasing of the flywheel.

[0023] In this embodiment, a connecting cylinder 12 is provided around the first motor 11. The bottom end of the connecting cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the top cover 10 by bolts, and the top end of the connecting cylinder 12 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the top plate 5 by bolts. The top plate 5 has through holes 51 at both ends corresponding to the positions of the first motor 11. The power cord of the first motor 11 passes through the through holes 51 and is connected to an external power supply device.

[0024] In this embodiment, the drive mechanism includes a first gear 13, a second gear 14, and a second motor 15. The first gear 13 is fixedly installed on the side of the support column 4, the second motor 15 is fixedly installed on the front side wall of the support base 3, and the second gear 14 is fixedly installed on the power output shaft of the second motor 15.
