The lower mounting plate provides auxiliary support for the clamping block, improving the load-bearing capacity of the fixture base. Furthermore, the width and length of the clamping block are the same as the spoke spacing and the thickness of the multi-ribbed aluminum rim, enabling auxiliary clamping and positioning of the rim. For other wheel hub shapes, clamping fixtures of corresponding dimensions can be designed, expanding the applicability of the fixture and meeting the requirements for rapid product changeover on production lines. Simultaneously, the clamping block is made of nylon material to prevent scratches during valve drilling, ensuring both load-bearing capacity and processing accuracy.

Detailed Implementation
[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0025] Example 1:
[0026] Please see Figure 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution: a wheel rim valve hole forming device, including a support frame 100; a base 200 is installed on the support frame 100, and a positioning structure is connected to the base 200. The positioning structure is used to limit and fix the position of the wheel rim. Two side baffles 300 are symmetrically installed above the support frame 100. A drilling structure is connected between the two side baffles 300. The drilling structure is used to open valve holes in the fixed wheel rim, and the position height can be adjusted according to the wheel rim size. A bearing seat 400 is connected to the drilling structure, and an adjustment structure is connected to the bearing seat 400. The adjustment structure is used to adjust the angle of the drilling structure.
[0027] Furthermore, the positioning structure includes a positioning cylinder 201, which is installed inside the base 200 and the support frame 100. A lifting rod 202 is installed on the telescopic end of the positioning cylinder 201. Several connecting seats 203 are installed on the lifting rod 202. Two connecting rods 204 are rotatably installed on the connecting seats 203. The same pressure plate 205 is rotatably installed at one end of the two connecting rods 204. The pressure plate 205 is slidably installed above the base 200. When the wheel rim is placed around the lifting rod 202, the positioning cylinder 201 is activated to lower the connecting seats 203. When the connecting seats 203 lower, they will push the pressure plates 205 around the wheel rim to move towards the inner wall of the wheel rim through the connecting rods 204. Finally, the pressure plates 205 around the wheel rim are pressed against the inner wall of the wheel rim to position the wheel rim.
[0028] Furthermore, the base 200 has several T-shaped guide grooves 206 inside, which are evenly distributed around the lifting rod 202. A T-shaped slide block 207 is slidably installed in the T-shaped guide groove 206. The T-shaped slide block 207 is installed below the pressure plate 205. When the T-shaped slide block 207 moves, it can slide in the T-shaped guide groove 206, thereby restricting the direction of movement of the T-shaped slide block 207.
[0029] Furthermore, the drilling structure includes a movable slide 301, which is slidably mounted between two side baffles 300. A U-shaped frame 302 is slidably mounted on the movable slide 301. A movable frame 303 is rotatably mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 302. A mounting plate 304 is mounted on one side of the movable frame 303. A multi-stage cylinder 305 is mounted on one side of the mounting plate 304. The telescopic end of the multi-stage cylinder 305 passes through the mounting plate 304 and is equipped with a drilling motor 306. A valve hole drill bit 307 is mounted on the output end of the drilling motor 306. Turning on the drilling motor 306 can drive the valve hole drill bit 307 to rotate. At the same time, turning on the multi-stage cylinder 305 can push the drilling motor 306 forward, thereby driving the valve hole drill bit 307 to drill into the wheel rim at a set angle and open the valve hole.
[0030] Furthermore, two lifting control cylinders 308 are symmetrically installed inside the movable slide 301. The telescopic ends of the two lifting control cylinders 308 are both installed on the U-shaped frame 302. By opening the lifting control cylinders 308, their telescopic ends can drive the U-shaped frame 302 to lift and lower, thereby adjusting the height of the drilling motor 306.
[0031] Furthermore, the side baffle 300 has a strip-shaped hole 309 inside, and a guide screw 310 is slidably installed in the strip-shaped hole 309. The guide screw 310 is installed on one side of the movable slide 301. Pushing the movable slide 301 can cause it to drive the guide screw 310 to slide in the strip-shaped hole 309. Through the arrangement of the strip-shaped hole 309 and the guide screw 310, the movable slide 301 can be restricted to moving only in the horizontal direction.
[0032] Furthermore, a limiting nut 311 is threaded onto the guide screw 310. The limiting nut 311 contacts one side of the side baffle 300. By tightening the limiting nut 311 onto the guide screw 310, the limiting nut 311 can be pressed against the surface of the side baffle 300, which can limit the position of the movable slide 301. A washer can also be provided between the limiting nut 311 and the movable slide 301 to increase friction and stability. The guide screw 310 is only threaded at the connection with the limiting nut 311, and the part located inside the strip hole 309 is a smooth surface.
[0033] Example 2:
[0034] like Figure 4-6 To facilitate adjustment of the drilling angle of the valve hole drill bit 307 according to the wheel rim size, an adjustment structure is provided. The adjustment structure includes a worm gear 401, which is rotatably mounted on two bearing seats 400. Both bearing seats 400 are mounted on a U-shaped frame 302. A geared motor 402 is mounted on one side of the corresponding bearing seat 400. The output end of the geared motor 402 is mounted on one end of the worm gear 401. A fixed shaft 403 is mounted on the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 302. The fixed shaft 403 is rotatably mounted inside the movable frame 303. A worm wheel 404 is rotatably sleeved on the fixed shaft 403. The worm wheel 404 meshes with the worm gear 401 and is mounted on the inner wall of the movable frame 303. Turning on the geared motor 402 can drive the worm gear 401 to rotate. The rotating worm gear 401 can drive the movable frame 303 to rotate on the fixed shaft 403 through meshing with the worm wheel 404, thereby driving the drilling motor 306 to rotate and adjust the angle.
[0035] The working principle is as follows:
[0036] The wheel rim is placed above the base 200 and around the lifting rod 202. The positioning cylinder 201 is then activated to control the lowering of the lifting rod 202 and several connecting seats 203. As the connecting seats 203 descend, one end of the connecting rod 204 descends and flips, causing the other end of the connecting rod 204 to push the pressure plate 205 towards the inner wall of the wheel rim. Ultimately, the pressure plates 205 around the wheel rim are pressed against the inner wall, limiting and fixing the position of the wheel rim. Rubber pads can be placed at the contact points between the pressure plate 205 and the inner wall of the wheel rim to prevent wear. The position and angle of the drilling motor 306 can then be adjusted according to the size and position of the wheel rim. To adjust, first rotate and loosen the limiting nuts 311 on both sides to release the position restriction on the movable slide 301. Then, pushing the movable slide 301 will cause it to slide along the guide screw 310. 1. The U-shaped frame 302 and the movable frame 303 can be moved, which in turn drives the drilling motor 306 to move horizontally, so that it drives the valve hole drill bit 307 closer to the wheel rim. Then, the lifting control cylinder 308 is activated, which drives the U-shaped frame 302 to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the drilling motor 306. Then, the reduction motor 402 is activated. The output end of the reduction motor 402 can drive the worm 401 to rotate. The rotating worm 401 can drive the movable frame 303 to rotate on the fixed shaft 403 through meshing with the worm wheel 404, thereby driving the drilling motor 306 to rotate and adjust the angle. At this time, the drilling motor 306 is activated to drive the valve hole drill bit 307 to rotate. At the same time, the multi-stage cylinder 305 is activated. The extension end of the multi-stage cylinder 305 will push the drilling motor 306 forward, thereby driving the valve hole drill bit 307 to drill into the wheel rim at a set angle to open the valve hole in the wheel rim.
