Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drying equipment technology, specifically a drying equipment for wheel rim processing. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of automotive wheels (also known as rims or bells), the drying process after cleaning is crucial to ensuring the quality of subsequent processes. Currently, wheel materials are mainly steel and alloy (such as aluminum alloy), with alloy wheels becoming the mainstream in the aftermarket due to their lightweight, high performance, and aesthetics. Wheel forming processes include casting and forging, and regardless of the process, drying is a critical step before surface treatment.

[0003] Existing drying equipment typically uses clamps to hold and fix the wheel rims to prevent them from shifting due to airflow or vibration during the drying process. However, the contact surface between these clamps (such as mechanical grippers or fixed brackets) and the wheel rims can obstruct certain areas, making it difficult for the contact areas to be fully covered by hot air, creating drying dead zones. To solve this problem, operators need to interrupt the drying process multiple times to manually adjust the wheel rim angle or position, reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a drying device for wheel rim processing to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a drying device for wheel rim processing, including a drying box, a hot air blower installed on the top of the drying box, the output end of the hot air blower penetrating through the drying box, a fixed frame rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drying box, and a transmission component and a movable component provided inside and on the surface of the fixed frame;

[0006] The active components include:

[0007] A cavity is used to stabilize its internal structure.

[0008] Rotating plate one, rotating plate one is used to drive each short rod one and the clamping frame to move radially synchronously;

[0009] The moving parts are used to drive the wheel rim to rotate.

[0010] Preferably, the cavity is formed inside the fixed frame. A rotating plate is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity. A connecting hole is formed on the surface of the rotating plate. A short rod is abutted against the inner wall of the connecting hole. A clamping frame is fixed to the end of the short rod away from the connecting hole. The end of the clamping frame away from the short rod passes through the fixed frame. A stabilizing frame is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity. The inner side of the stabilizing frame is slidably connected to the inner side of the clamping frame. A stabilizing groove is formed on the outer surface of the rotating plate. A stabilizing column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stabilizing groove. A spring is fixed to the outer surface of the stabilizing column. The end of the spring away from the stabilizing column is fixed to the inner wall of the stabilizing groove. A slot is formed on the inner wall of the cavity. When the rotating plate rotates, the inner wall of the connecting hole abuts against the outer surface of the short rod. Each clamping frame moves radially synchronously to clamp the wheel rim.

[0011] Preferably, the moving component includes a second rotating plate, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity. The surface of the second rotating plate has a second connecting hole. A short rod is attached to the inner wall of the second connecting hole. A connecting frame is fixed to the end of the short rod away from the second connecting hole. The connecting frame passes through the fixed frame and is slidably connected to it. A roller is rotatably connected to the inner side of the end of the connecting frame away from the short rod. A motor is fixed to the outer surface of the connecting frame. The output shaft of the motor passes through the connecting frame and is fixed to the outer surface of the roller. A stabilizing groove is formed on the outer surface of the second rotating plate. A stabilizing column is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stabilizing groove. A spring is fixed to the outer surface of the stabilizing column. The end of the spring away from the stabilizing column is fixed to the inner wall of the stabilizing groove. A retaining groove is formed on the inner wall of the cavity. When the second rotating plate rotates, the connecting frames move radially synchronously through the second connecting hole and the short rod. The surface of the roller abuts against the surface of the wheel rim. Activating the motor causes the roller to drive the wheel rim to rotate.

[0012] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first through hole on the outer surface of the fixed frame, a second through hole on the outer surface of the fixed frame, a second locking tooth fixed on the outer surface of the rotating plate, and a first locking tooth fixed on the outer surface of the rotating plate. Both the first and second locking teeth penetrate the first and second through holes. A mounting frame is fixed on the outer surface of the fixed frame, and an electric push rod is mounted on the top of the mounting frame. A motor is fixed on the top of the electric push rod, and a circular plate is fixed on the top of the output shaft of the motor. A groove is formed on the outer surface of the circular plate, and a third locking tooth is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove. A spring is fixed to the end of the third locking tooth near the groove, and the end of the spring away from the third locking tooth is fixed to the inner wall of the groove. When the motor is turned on and rotates forward, the third locking tooth engages with the second locking tooth, causing the rotating plate to rotate. When the electric push rod extends, the inclined surface of the third locking tooth abuts against the surface of the first locking tooth, forcing the third locking tooth to slide into the groove and compressing the spring. At this point, motor two is started, and the circular plate drives the retaining tooth three to continue rotating. When retaining tooth three rotates to the gap position between retaining teeth one, spring one releases its elastic force, pushing retaining tooth three to return to its original position. At this time, retaining tooth three is exactly between the two retaining teeth one, and when the circular plate rotates, it can synchronously drive retaining teeth one and rotating plate two to rotate together.

[0013] Preferably, a motor is fixed on the left side of the drying chamber, the output shaft of the motor passes through the drying chamber and is fixed on the outer surface of the fixing frame, and an exhaust hole is provided on the top of the drying chamber to facilitate drying processing.

[0014] Preferably, an electric push rod is fixed to the bottom of the drying oven, and a support plate is fixed to the top of the electric push rod to facilitate lifting the wheel rings and easy placement.

[0015] Preferably, both connecting holes one and two are arc-shaped, the two sides of the locking tooth three away from spring one are inclined, and the ends of the stabilizing pillar one and stabilizing pillar two away from spring two and spring three are arc-shaped. Connecting holes one and two rotate with rotating plates one and two, so that short rod one and short rod two can move radially synchronously. The inclined surface of the locking tooth three abuts against the surfaces of locking teeth one and two, but the locking tooth three can move into the sliding groove to facilitate subsequent engagement and avoid affecting engagement. The arc-shaped surfaces of stabilizing pillar one and stabilizing pillar two abut against the inner wall of the locking groove. When rotating plates one and two rotate, the stabilizing pillar one and stabilizing pillar two can move into stabilizing groove one and stabilizing groove two.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, this utility model provides a drying device for wheel rim processing, which has the following beneficial effects:

[0017] 1. This drying equipment for wheel rim processing, through its movable components, allows for automatic adjustment of the wheel rim position. A transmission component causes the rotating plate one to rotate, causing the inner wall of the connecting hole one to contact the outer surface of the short rod one. This synchronizes the radial movement of each clamping frame, clamping the wheel rim and preventing displacement during drying. Simultaneously, the rotating plate two rotates, causing the inner wall of the connecting hole two to contact the short rod two, resulting in synchronized radial movement of each connecting frame and contact between the roller surface and the wheel rim. After starting motor three, the rollers drive the wheel rim to rotate, achieving automatic adjustment of the wheel rim position without manual intervention, thus improving drying efficiency. Furthermore, springs two and three respectively push stabilizing pillar one and stabilizing pillar two into slots one and two, locking the positions of rotating plates one and two and preventing their rotation from affecting the positioning of the clamping frames and rollers.

[0018] 2. The drying equipment for wheel rim processing, through the set transmission components, facilitates the rotation of rotating plate one and rotating plate two, realizing clamping and position adjustment, which is convenient for subsequent drying processing. Attached Figure Description

[0028] like Figures 1-8 As shown, this utility model provides a technical solution: a drying device for wheel rim processing, including a drying chamber 1, a hot air blower 2 installed on the top of the drying chamber 1, the output end of the hot air blower 2 penetrating the drying chamber 1, a fixed frame 5 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the drying chamber 1, and a transmission component 8 and a movable component 9 provided inside and on the surface of the fixed frame 5; the movable component 9 includes: a cavity 90, a rotating plate 91, a connecting hole 92, a short rod 93, a clamping frame 94, a stabilizing frame 95, a stabilizing groove 96, a stabilizing column 97, a spring 98, a slot 900, a moving part 99, a rotating plate 990, a connecting hole 991, a short rod 992, a connecting frame 993, a roller 994, a motor 995, a stabilizing groove 996, a stabilizing column 997, a spring 998, and a slot 999.

[0029] A cavity 90 is formed inside the fixed frame 5. A rotating plate 91 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 90. A connecting hole 92 is formed on the surface of the rotating plate 91. A short rod 93 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting hole 92. A clamping frame 94 is fixed to the end of the short rod 93 away from the connecting hole 92. The end of the clamping frame 94 away from the short rod 93 passes through the fixed frame 5. A stabilizing frame 95 is fixed to the inner wall of the cavity 90. The inner side of the stabilizing frame 95 is slidably connected to the inner side of the clamping frame 94. A stabilizing groove 96 is formed on the outer surface of the rotating plate 91. A stabilizing column 97 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the stabilizing groove 96. A spring 98 is fixed to the outer surface of the stabilizing column 97. The end of the spring 98 away from the stabilizing column 97 is fixed to the stabilizing groove 96. On the inner wall of the cavity 90, a slot 900 is provided. The moving part 99 includes a rotating plate 990, which is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the cavity 90. A connecting hole 991 is provided on the surface of the rotating plate 990. A short rod 992 abuts against the inner wall of the connecting hole 991. A connecting frame 993 is fixed to the end of the short rod 992 away from the connecting hole 991. The connecting frame 993 passes through the fixed frame 5 and is slidably connected to the fixed frame 5. A roller 994 is rotatably connected to the inner side of the end of the connecting frame 993 away from the short rod 992. A motor 995 is fixed to the outer surface of the connecting frame 993. The output shaft of the motor 995 passes through the connecting frame 993 and is fixed. On the outer surface of roller 994, a stabilizing groove 2 996 is formed on the outer surface of rotating plate 2 990. A stabilizing column 2 997 is slidably connected to the inner wall of stabilizing groove 2 996. A spring 3 998 is fixed to the outer surface of stabilizing column 2 997. The end of spring 3 998 away from stabilizing column 2 997 is fixed to the inner wall of stabilizing groove 2 996. A retaining groove 2 999 is formed on the inner wall of cavity 90. Connecting hole 1 92 and connecting hole 2 991 are both arc-shaped. The two sides of retaining tooth 3 89 away from spring 1 800 are set as inclined surfaces. The ends of stabilizing column 1 97 and stabilizing column 2 997 away from spring 2 98 and spring 3 998 are both arc-shaped. When rotating plate 1 91 rotates, the inner wall of connecting hole 1 92 abuts against the outer surface of short rod 1 93. This allows each clamping frame 94 to move radially synchronously, clamping the wheel rim and preventing it from shifting during subsequent drying. Rotating plate 2 990 rotates, at which point the inner wall of connecting hole 2 991 abuts against short rod 2 992, causing each connecting frame 993 to move radially synchronously. At this point, the surface of roller 994 abuts against the surface of the wheel rim. Turning on motor 3 995 allows roller 994 to drive the wheel rim to rotate, thus adjusting the wheel rim's position without manual adjustment, improving drying efficiency. Springs 2 98 and 3 998 drive stabilizing columns 1 97 and 2 997 into slots 1 900 and 2 999, stabilizing rotating plate 1 91 and rotating plate 2 990 and preventing them from rotating and affecting the position of clamping frames 94 and roller 994.

[0030] The transmission assembly 8 includes a through hole 80, which is formed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 5. A second through hole 81 is formed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 5. A second locking tooth 83 is fixed on the outer surface of the rotating plate 91, and a first locking tooth 82 is fixed on the outer surface of the rotating plate 990. Both the first locking tooth 82 and the second locking tooth 83 penetrate through the through hole 80 and the second through hole 81. A mounting frame 84 is fixed on the outer surface of the fixed frame 5. An electric push rod 85 is mounted on the top of the mounting frame 84. A second motor 86 is fixed on the top of the electric push rod 85. A circular plate 87 is fixed on the top of the output shaft of the second motor 86. A groove 88 is formed on the outer surface of the circular plate 87. A third locking tooth 89 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the groove 88. One end of the third locking tooth 89 near the groove 88 is fixed with... Spring 800, with its end away from tooth 89, is fixed to the inner wall of the slide groove 88. When motor 86 is turned on and rotates forward, tooth 89 engages with tooth 83, which drives rotating plate 91 to rotate. When electric push rod 85 is turned on and extended, the inclined surface of tooth 89 abuts against the surface of tooth 82, and tooth 89 enters the slide groove 88, compressing spring 800. When motor 86 is turned on, circular plate 87 drives tooth 89 to rotate again. When tooth 89 is between tooth 82, spring 800 is released, causing tooth 89 to reset. At this time, tooth 89 is between tooth 82, so that when circular plate 87 rotates, tooth 82 and rotating plate 990 rotate synchronously.

[0031] A motor 6 is fixed on the left side of the drying chamber 1. The output shaft of the motor 6 passes through the drying chamber 1 and is fixed on the outer surface of the mounting frame 5. An exhaust port 7 is provided on the top of the drying chamber 1. An electric push rod 3 is fixed on the bottom of the drying chamber 1. A support plate 4 is fixed on the top of the electric push rod 3. When the hot air blower 2 and the motor 6 are turned on, the motor 6 drives the mounting frame 5 to rotate, and the drying work can be carried out in a comprehensive manner.

[0032] When the required wheel rim needs drying, place the wheel rim on top of the support plate 4. Then, turn on motor 2 (86) to rotate forward. Gear 3 (89) engages with gear 2 (83), causing the rotating plate 1 (91) to rotate. At this time, the inner wall of connecting hole 1 (92) abuts against the outer surface of short rod 1 (93), causing each clamping frame 94 to move radially synchronously, clamping the wheel rim. Then, turn on electric push rod 1 (3) to move it downwards, allowing the support plate 4 to disengage from the wheel rim. Then, turn on hot air blower 2 and motor 1 (6). Motor 1 (6) drives the fixing frame 5 to rotate, thus completing the drying process. When wheel rim adjustment is needed... When the wheel rim is in its correct position, motor 2 (86) is turned on to reverse, causing clamping frame 94 to release the wheel rim. Simultaneously, the inner side of clamping frame 94 is controlled to adhere to the bottom of the wheel rim to prevent it from falling off during subsequent rotation. At this time, electric push rod 2 (85) extends, and the inclined surface of locating tooth 3 (89) abuts against the surface of locating tooth 1 (82). Locating tooth 3 (89) then enters the slide groove 88, compressing spring 1 (800). Motor 2 (86) is then turned on, and circular plate 87 again rotates locating tooth 3 (89). When locating tooth 3 (89) is positioned between locating teeth 1 (82), spring 1 (800) is released, causing locating tooth 3 (89) to reset. At this time, the third clamping tooth 89 is positioned between the first clamping tooth 82, so that when the circular plate 87 rotates, it synchronously drives the first clamping tooth 82 and the second rotating plate 990 to rotate. At this time, the inner wall of the second connecting hole 991 abuts against the second short rod 992, causing each connecting bracket 993 to move radially synchronously. At this time, the surface of the roller 994 abuts against the surface of the wheel rim. Turning on the third motor 995 will cause the roller 994 to drive the wheel rim to rotate, thereby adjusting the position of the wheel rim without manual adjustment, improving drying efficiency. At the same time, when the first rotating plate 91 and the second rotating plate 990 rotate, they drive the first stabilizing column 97 and the second stabilizing column 990 to rotate. When 997 rotates, the surfaces of stabilizing posts 97 and 997 come into contact with the inner walls of slots 900 and 999, causing them to move into stabilizing slots 96 and 996. When the positions of stabilizing posts 97 and 997 are parallel to slots 900 and 999, springs 98 and 998 drive stabilizing posts 97 and 997 into slots 900 and 999, thus stabilizing rotating plates 91 and 990 and preventing them from rotating and affecting the positions of clamping frame 94 and roller 994.

[0033] The present invention has been described in detail above. However, modifications or improvements can be made to it, which will be obvious to those skilled in the art. Therefore, any modifications or improvements that do not depart from the spirit of the present invention are within the protection scope of the present invention.
