Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of forging clamp technology, and in particular to a clamping device applied to an automated precision forging production line for automotive wheel hub bearings. Background Technology

[0002] Automated precision forging is a technology that utilizes automated equipment and advanced processes to forge metal billets into parts of the required shape and size with high precision and efficiency. It can precisely control parameters such as temperature and pressure during the forging process, improving product quality and consistency. The application of automated precision forging in automotive wheel bearing production lines is due to its ability to significantly improve bearing production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure high product precision and reliability, meeting the stringent quality requirements and large-scale production needs of the automotive industry. The clamping device, installed on the automated precision forging automotive wheel bearing production line, uses robotic arms, grippers, and other components to quickly and stably grasp and transfer the high-temperature, high-hardness metal billets and semi-finished products during the forging process, ensuring accurate transfer of billets between processes and guaranteeing the continuous, efficient, and safe operation of the forging production line.

[0003] A gripping device for automated precision forging of automotive wheel hub bearings typically consists of a robotic arm assembly as its core framework, providing flexible motion trajectory and load capacity. The end effector is made of high-temperature resistant, high-strength materials and is designed to fit the shape of the automotive wheel hub bearing blank, ensuring stable gripping. The drive assembly, mostly hydraulic, pneumatic, or electric, provides power for the gripping action. The sensor assembly includes position, force, and temperature sensors to monitor the gripping status and blank parameters in real time. The control assembly coordinates the operation of each component, precisely controlling gripping, handling, and releasing actions according to production line instructions. Additionally, a protective structure is included to withstand the harsh environment of high forging temperatures and splashes, ensuring stable operation of the device.

[0004] In existing technologies, the clamping devices in some automotive wheel bearing production lines are operated manually. This results in production efficiency being limited by the operator's skill level and fatigue, making it difficult to achieve high-speed continuous operation. Furthermore, the manual operation suffers from unstable precision and poor consistency. Therefore, a clamping device for automated precision forging automotive wheel bearing production lines is proposed to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0031] 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.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 This utility model provides an embodiment of a clamping device for use in an automated precision forging automotive wheel hub bearing production line. The device includes a housing 1, which forms the foundation of the entire equipment and protects it. A hydraulic cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A force-applying block 3 is fixedly connected to the driving end of the hydraulic cylinder 2. The hydraulic cylinder 2 is the driving end of the entire clamping part, causing the force-applying block 3 to move. Two fixed plates 4 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the housing 1. A connecting plate 5 is slidably connected to each of the two fixed plates 4. A force-bearing plate 6 is fixedly connected to the adjacent side of each of the two connecting plates 5. The fixed plates 4 allow the connecting plates 5 to move, causing the force-bearing plate 6 to move linearly. The force-bearing plate 6 receives the pushing force of the force-applying block 3 and moves accordingly. Two rotating plates 8 are rotatably connected to the rear side of the force-bearing plate 6. The rotating plates rotate when the force-bearing plate 6 moves. Adjustment components for adjusting the clamping part are rotatably connected to the top of each of the two rotating plates 8.

[0033] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The adjustment assembly includes two protective shells 11. The bottom of each protective shell 11 is rotatably connected to the top of two rotating plates 8. The protective shells 11 protect the internal adjustment assembly and stabilize it. The inner walls of each protective shell 11 are slidably connected to moving blocks 9. Rotating plates 10 are rotatably connected to adjacent sides of the two moving blocks 9. The moving blocks 9 receive external force and move inside the protective shell 11, causing the rotating plates 10 to rotate, thereby adjusting the clamping opening size.

[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 3A grooved plate 14 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the outer shell 1. A rotating plate 15 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the grooved plate 14. A movable plate 16 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the rotating plate 15. The grooved plate 14 allows the rotating plate 15 to rotate. The rotating plate receives the moving force of the movable plate 16, thus rotating. Springs 7 are fixedly connected to the front sides of the two connecting plates 5. The front sides of the two springs 7 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the front side of the fixed plate 1 4. The springs 7 receive the pushing force of the connecting plates 5, thus stretching and transmitting the elastic force to the connecting plates 5. A guide plate 17 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell 1. The bottom of the force-applying block 3 is slidably connected to the inside of the guide plate 17. The guide plate 17 allows the force-applying block 3 to move and stabilize. A rotating column 20 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the outer shell 1. The bottom of the 20 is rotatably connected to a base plate 18. The rotating column 20 allows the outer shell 1 to rotate, thereby adjusting the direction of clamping. The base plate 18 supports the entire device and makes it stable. The bottom of the two moving blocks 9 is fixedly connected to moving rods 19. The bottom of the two moving rods 19 is rotatably connected to the top of the two rotating plates 8. The moving rods 19 receive the rotational force of the rotating plates 8 and thus move. The front side of the protective shell 11 is fixedly connected to a connecting block 12. The front side of the connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to a fixing plate 13. The connecting block 12 connects the fixing plate 13 and the protective shell 11, so that the moving force is transmitted to the moving plate 16. The outside of the moving rod 19 is slidably connected to the bottom of the protective shell 11. The rotating rod receives the rotational force of the moving plate 16 and thus moves at the bottom of the protective shell 11.

[0035] Working principle: The cylinder drives the force-applying block 3 to move, which in turn causes the force-receiving plate 6 to move, which in turn causes the connecting plate 5 to move, which in turn causes the spring 7 to stretch, which in turn causes the rotating plate to rotate, which causes the protective shell 11 to open and approach the equipment. After the cylinder moves the force-applying block 3, the spring 7 begins to release force, which causes the force-receiving plate 6 to move backward, which causes the rotating plate to rotate back, thereby bringing the two protective shells 11 closer together, so that the rotating plate 10 clamps them, thus realizing automatic clamping of the clamping part. In addition, it can greatly improve the automation level of the clamping operation, thereby reducing manual intervention and improving the production line efficiency.

[0036] When the rotating plate rotates, it also drives the moving rod 19 to move, which in turn drives the moving block 9 to move, which in turn drives the rotating plate 10 to rotate. This allows the clamping part to adjust adaptively, thus achieving adaptive opening of the clamp. In addition, it can accurately adapt to the clamping requirements of workpieces of different specifications, thereby improving the compatibility and processing flexibility of the production line for complex workpieces.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
