Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel hub clamps, and in particular to a clamp structure for automotive wheel hub painting. Background Technology

[0002] Wheel hub clamps are devices used to fix and hold wheel hubs for machining, inspection, or other operations. Wheel hub clamps come in various types and structures depending on the application and purpose.

[0003] Wheel hub fixtures play a crucial role in the wheel hub painting process. However, due to the variety of wheel hub specifications, including different bolt distribution circle diameters, rim sizes, and material differences, wheel hub fixtures need to be frequently adjusted to accommodate different wheel hubs.

[0004] Traditional wheel hub clamp adjustment mechanisms often struggle to provide precise and detailed adjustments when dealing with a wide variety of wheel hubs. This is primarily because the clamps are typically designed based on a standard or common wheel hub specification, and their adjustment range and precision may not meet the requirements for non-standard or special-sized wheel hubs. The inability to make precise adjustments leads to a less tight fit between the clamp and the wheel hub, resulting in looseness. This looseness not only affects the coating effect, causing problems such as uneven coating and missed areas, but can also damage the wheel hub, such as scratches and dents. More seriously, a loose clamp may detach during the coating process, posing a safety hazard to operators and equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main objective of this invention is to provide a fixture structure for automotive wheel hub painting, which can effectively solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A fixture structure for painting automobile wheel hubs includes a worktable, a telescopic device, and a wheel hub to be painted.

[0008] The upper end of the workbench is provided with multiple supports, and the upper end of the supports is connected to an adjusting seat. An adjusting column is inserted into the middle of the workbench. The adjusting seat is connected to the adjusting column through an adjusting rod. The lower end of the adjusting column is connected to a telescopic device. A lateral abutment block is connected to the side opening of the adjusting seat, and the inner end of the lateral abutment block is provided with a abutment spring connected to the adjusting seat. The wheel hub to be painted is sleeved on the outside of the adjusting seat. The telescopic device drives the adjusting column to change the outward expansion angle of the adjusting seat, thereby abutting against the wheel hub to achieve clamping, which facilitates the painting of the wheel hub.

[0009] The upper end of the adjusting seat is connected to a height-increasing rod, and the side wall of the height-increasing rod has a waist hole. A fastening rod is inserted into the waist hole, and a fastening nut is fitted on the fastening rod and fixed to the height-increasing rod. The outer edge of the wheel hub rests on the upper end of the adjusting seat, and the wheel hub is tightened by the height-increasing rod and the fastening rod.

[0010] As an optional solution of this utility model, the end of the fastening rod is connected to an arc-shaped abutment block. The arc-shaped abutment block is divided into an arc-shaped block and a screw. The screw is located on the side of the arc-shaped block. The screw and the arc-shaped block are designed as an integral part. The screw is inserted into the screw hole of the fastening rod to realize the threaded connection between the fastening rod and the arc-shaped abutment block.

[0011] As an optional solution of this utility model, the edge of the arc-shaped abutment block is designed in an arc shape, and the surface of the arc-shaped abutment block is connected with an anti-slip rubber strip by an adhesive;

[0012] As an optional solution of this utility model, multiple waist holes are equidistantly distributed on the heightening rod, the edges of the waist holes are arc-shaped, and the surface of the heightening rod is connected with anti-slip rubber strips by adhesive. The fastening nut is rotated on the fastening rod to press against the heightening rod, and the diameter of the fastening rod is the same as the width of the waist hole.

[0013] As an optional solution of this utility model, the cross-section of the adjusting column is designed in a "T" shape, and the adjusting column is connected to the telescopic end of the telescopic device by a thread;

[0014] As an optional embodiment of this utility model, multiple supports are arranged in a ring on the worktable, and the supports are fixed to the worktable by bolts.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0016] By adjusting the clamping mechanism, specifically the telescopic device that drives the adjusting column, the outward expansion angle of the adjusting seat is changed, enabling rapid clamping of the wheel hub. This design not only simplifies the clamping operation and improves work efficiency but also ensures the stability of the wheel hub during the painting process, effectively avoiding uneven painting caused by shaking.

[0017] The heightening and clamping mechanism, through the cooperation of the heightening rod and the fastening insert, achieves clamping of the wheel hub edge, further enhancing the wheel hub's fixation during the painting process. Simultaneously, the curved design of the clamping block's edge and the use of anti-slip rubber strips not only increase the friction between the clamping block and the wheel hub, preventing slippage during painting, but also protect the wheel hub surface, avoiding scratches caused by clamping.
