Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated processing technology, and in particular to a wheel rim fit dimension detection mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, the manufacturing process for tubeless steel wheels involves separately processing the rim and spokes, then pressing them together using a press. Therefore, strict dimensional control is required during the individual production of the rim and spokes. To ensure a tight fit and better withstand various loads and stresses, preventing relative loosening or deformation, the rim and spokes are typically designed with an interference fit to ensure safe vehicle operation.

[0003] Therefore, an automatic detection device for wheel rim pressing dimensions needs to be added to the final process of the wheel rim production line. After the dimension detection is completed, the products are sorted, and qualified products enter the wheel hub assembly line. This will further improve the automation level of the wheel rim equipment production line and increase the production efficiency of the production line.

[0004] Conventional dimensional inspection methods mostly involve manual inspection using tools such as micrometers and vernier calipers. The results of measurements taken by different personnel or with different tools will produce different errors from the actual dimensions, making it difficult to guarantee the consistency of the required pressing dimensions of the wheel rim, affecting the pressing quality of the wheel hub. At the same time, manual inspection has low production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0021] The X-axis displacement drive cylinder body and guide sleeve are fixedly connected to the lifting frame, realizing the lifting frame driving the X-axis displacement mechanism to move up and down along the Y-axis direction, thereby realizing the movement of the displacement sensor along the Y-axis direction, meeting the measurement needs of rims of different diameters.

[0022] Furthermore, the input end of the elevator is equipped with a lifting handwheel for driving the elevator; the output end of the elevator is fixedly connected to the lifting frame.

[0023] Furthermore, the Y-axis displacement guide device includes two sets of Y-axis displacement slide rails and Y-axis displacement sliders arranged symmetrically and parallel to each other along the Y-axis, for guiding the lifting frame when it moves along the Y-axis;

Then, the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder drives the two displacement sensor detection heads to a distance slightly larger than the inner diameter of the wheel rim being measured, ensuring that both displacement sensors can contact the measured position and be compressed. The distance between the front ends of the two displacement sensors at this point is recorded. Finally, the limit handwheel is rotated so that one end of the screw abuts against the displacement sensor support, forming a limit and preventing excessive displacement of the contact digital sensor during operation, which could damage the sensor and affect the accuracy of the measurement.

[0066] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this embodiment provides a rim fit dimension detection mechanism, including: a detection mechanism 1 and a positioning and clamping mechanism 2;

[0070] In this embodiment, the displacement sensor is a contact digital displacement sensor 12, and two are symmetrically arranged along the X-axis. The contact digital displacement sensor 12 not only has high accuracy, but also has good linearity and strong environmental adaptability, which greatly improves the detection accuracy of the inner diameter mating dimension of the rim 3.

[0071] like Figure 4-6 As shown, the testing mechanism 1 also includes a testing frame 11, and the actuator is movably mounted on the testing frame 11.

[0072] In this embodiment, the detection frame has an elongated hole 111 along the Z-axis direction for aligning the centerline between the two contact digital displacement sensors 12 with the centerline of the rim 3.

[0073] The actuator includes an X-axis displacement mechanism 13 for driving the contact digital displacement sensor 12 to approach and move away from the rim 3 along the X-axis direction;

[0074] The X-axis displacement mechanism 13 includes an X-axis displacement drive cylinder 131, an X-axis displacement seat 132, and an X-axis displacement guide device.

[0075] The actuator also includes a Y-axis displacement mechanism 14 for driving the contact digital displacement sensor 12 to move along the Y-axis direction;

[0076] The Y-axis displacement mechanism 14 includes a lift 141, a lifting frame 142, and a Y-axis displacement guide device.

[0077] The actuator also includes a Z-axis displacement mechanism 15, which drives the contact digital displacement sensor 12 to simultaneously approach or move away from the inner diameter detection surface of the rim 3 along the Z-axis direction.

[0078] Z-axis displacement mechanism 15 includes Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151, connecting rod centering device and sensor support 152.

[0079] Preferably, the X-axis displacement guiding device includes two sets of guide rods 133 and guide sleeves 134 arranged symmetrically and parallelly along the X-axis for guiding the X-axis displacement seat 132 when it moves along the X-axis;

[0080] One end of the guide rod 133 is fixedly connected to the X-axis displacement seat 132;

[0081] The guide sleeve 134 is coaxially sleeved on the outside of the guide rod 133 and fixedly mounted on the lifting frame 142.

[0082] The body of the X-axis displacement drive cylinder 131 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 142, and the telescopic end of the X-axis displacement drive cylinder 131 is fixedly connected to the X-axis displacement seat 132.

[0083] The X-axis displacement drive cylinder 131 and guide sleeve 134 are fixedly connected to the lifting frame 142, which enables the lifting frame 142 to drive the X-axis displacement mechanism 13 to move up and down along the Y-axis, thereby enabling the contact digital displacement sensor 12 to move along the Y-axis, thus meeting the measurement requirements of rims 3 with different diameters.

[0084] The input end of the elevator 141 is equipped with a lifting handwheel 145 for driving the elevator 141; the output end of the elevator 141 is fixedly connected to the lifting frame 142.

[0085] In this embodiment, a rotating rod 146 is fixedly installed on the handwheel, and a coupling 147 is installed at the end of the rotating rod 146 away from the lifting handwheel 145 for transmission connection with the lifting machine 141.

[0086] The Y-axis displacement guide device includes two sets of Y-axis displacement slide rails 143 and Y-axis displacement sliders 144 arranged symmetrically and parallelly along the Y-axis, which are used to guide the lifting frame 142 when it moves along the Y-axis.

[0087] Y-axis displacement slider 144 is fixedly mounted on lifting frame 142;

[0088] The Y-axis displacement slide rail 143 is fixedly mounted on the detection frame 11.

[0089] Preferably, two sensor supports 152 are symmetrically arranged along the X-axis, and the two sensor supports 152 can move towards or away from each other simultaneously along the Z-axis.

[0090] The contact-type digital displacement sensor 12 is fixedly mounted on the sensor support 152.

[0091] like Figure 7-8 As shown, the Z-axis displacement mechanism 15 also includes a Z-axis displacement guide device, which includes two sets of Z-axis displacement sliders 154 and Z-axis displacement slide rails 153 arranged symmetrically along the Z-axis, for guiding the sensor support 152 when it moves along the Z-axis.

[0092] Z-axis displacement slider 154 is fixedly mounted on sensor support 152;

[0093] Z-axis displacement slide rail 153 is fixedly mounted on X-axis displacement seat 132.

[0094] The connecting rod centering device includes a rotating shaft 155 rotatably disposed in the middle of the X-axis displacement seat 132, and a connecting plate 156 is fixedly disposed at one end of the rotating shaft 155 extending out of the X-axis displacement seat 132.

[0095] Two connecting rods 157 are pivotally connected to both ends of the connecting plate 156;

[0096] The ends of the two connecting rods 157 furthest from the connecting plate 156 are pivotally connected to the sensor support 152.

[0097] The linkage centering device ensures that the two contact digital displacement sensors 12 synchronously approach the inner diameter detection surface of the rim 3, thus improving the accuracy of the inner diameter measurement.

[0098] The body of the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151 is fixedly connected to one side sensor support 152; the telescopic end of the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151 is fixedly connected to the other side sensor support 152, which is used to drive the two sensor supports 152 to move towards or away from each other along the Z-axis direction at the same time.

[0099] The detection mechanism 1 also includes a limiting device 16, which is disposed on the side of the X-axis displacement seat 132 near the extension end of the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151, and is used to limit the extension position of the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151.

[0100] The limiting device 16 includes a limiting handwheel 161 and a screw 162;

[0101] One end of the screw 162 is fixedly connected to the limit handwheel 161, and the other end extends into an X-axis displacement seat 132 which abuts against the sensor support 152 connected to the telescopic end of the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151.

[0102] The screw 162 is threadedly connected to the X-axis displacement seat 132.

[0103] Specifically, before the equipment starts working, the rim 3 is placed into the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 and clamped for positioning; the lifting handwheel 145 is rotated to adjust the lifting mechanism 141, and the position of the contact digital displacement sensor 12 in the Y-axis direction is determined according to the diameter of the rim 3 of different specifications and fixed in this position; the detection end of the contact digital displacement sensor 12 is ensured to be radially aligned with the rim 3 in the Z-axis direction; then the X-axis displacement drive cylinder 131 extends, driving the contact digital displacement sensor 12 to extend into the rim 3 along the X-axis direction and reach the radial detection position of the inner diameter of the rim 3. At this point, rotating the limit handwheel 161 adjusts the position of the screw 162 to limit the sensor support, ensuring that when the sensor support 152 abuts against the screw 162, the distance between the detection heads of the two contact digital displacement sensors 12 is slightly greater than the inner diameter of the rim 3 being measured. This ensures that both contact digital displacement sensors 12 can contact the measured position and be compressed, while simultaneously mechanically limiting the displacement of the sensor support in the Z-axis direction. This prevents excessive displacement of the contact digital displacement sensors 12 during operation, which could damage the detection heads and affect the accuracy of the measurement. Then, the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151 drives the two contact digital displacement sensors 12 to measure the mating inner diameter of the rim 3 and records the distance between the front ends of the two contact digital displacement sensors 12 at this time.

[0104] For example Figure 1-3 As shown, the positioning and clamping mechanism 2 is provided with a support frame 21, which is arranged adjacent to the detection frame 11 along the X-axis direction;

[0105] The top of the support frame 21 is provided with two positioning shafts 22 that are parallel to and spaced apart along the X-axis;

[0106] The positioning shaft 22 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 21 and is used for radial positioning of the rim 3;

[0107] One end of the positioning shaft 22 is fixedly equipped with a drive motor 23 for driving the positioning shaft 22 to rotate; the other end is equipped with a transmission mechanism for transmission connection with the positioning shaft 22 on the other side.

[0108] The transmission mechanism can be a sprocket and chain drive, belt drive, or gear drive, etc. In this embodiment, the transmission mechanism is a sprocket and chain drive device 24.

[0109] A limiting plate 25 is also fixedly installed on the top of the support frame 21 for limiting the rim 3 along the X-axis direction.

[0110] In addition, it also includes a pressure plate 26, which is movably disposed on the support frame 21 along the X-axis direction for pressing the rim 3 along the X-axis direction;

[0111] A clamping cylinder 27 is fixedly installed on the side of the pressure plate 26 away from the rim 3, which is used to drive the pressure plate 26 to move along the X-axis.

[0112] Furthermore, it also includes a data processing module and an alarm module (not shown);

[0113] The data processing module receives the measurement values ​​from the contact digital sensor, calculates the inner diameter of the measured rim 3, and compares the inner diameter value with a preset threshold value; the alarm module issues an audible and visual alarm for data exceeding the threshold value.

[0114] During operation, the rim fit dimension detection mechanism is located at the end of the automated production line for rim 3. After the rim 3 flows into the support frame 21 from the production line, the clamping cylinder 21 extends, driving the pressure plate 26 to press the rim 3 tightly. Then, the X-axis displacement drive cylinder 131 extends, driving the contact digital displacement sensor 12 to the position of the inner diameter to be detected on the rim 3. Next, the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151 extends, driving the two contact digital displacement sensors 12 to contact the inner diameter measurement surface of the rim 3 respectively. The measuring ends of the contact digital displacement sensors 12 are compressed and retracted. The data processing module automatically reads the data from the two contact digital displacement sensors 12 and obtains the inner diameter dimension of the rim 3 by subtracting the readings of the two contact digital displacement sensors from the front-end distance data. After the measurement is completed, the Z-axis displacement drive cylinder 151 retracts, the X-axis displacement drive cylinder 131 retracts, the mechanism returns to its initial position, and the detection is completed. For rims 3 whose inner diameter exceeds the critical value, an audible and visual alarm is triggered and a robotic arm removes them from the production line, indicating that they are unqualified products; rims 3 whose inner diameter does not exceed the critical value flow into the rim 3 spoke pressing line to prepare for pressing with the spokes.

[0115] The wheel rim fit dimension detection mechanism provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0116] Setting up a wheel rim fit dimension detection mechanism at the end of the automated wheel rim production line can automatically detect whether the processed wheel rim meets the press-fit requirements, which greatly improves the detection efficiency and accuracy, and avoids the large errors and low efficiency of manual detection, which affect the subsequent press-fit efficiency and quality of wheel rim and spokes.

[0117] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
