Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive parts processing technology, specifically to a surface processing device for automotive wheel hub bearing flanges. Background Technology
[0002] As a key component of automotive transmission systems, the surface finish of wheel hub bearing flanges directly affects the bearing's load-bearing capacity, sealing performance, and service life. Currently, the processing of wheel hub bearing flanges still suffers from the following technical deficiencies:
[0003] 1. Decentralization of multiple processes leads to low efficiency: Traditional processes require multiple independent machines to complete milling, drilling, grinding and other processes in sequence. The workpiece needs to be clamped and positioned repeatedly, resulting in a long processing cycle and easy to cause dimensional errors due to datum offset, making it difficult to ensure processing consistency.
[0004] 2. Limited processing functions: Existing equipment is usually only compatible with a single type of tool (such as a dedicated milling machine or grinding machine), and cannot integrate multiple processing functions in the same workstation, making it difficult to meet complex surface treatment needs;
[0005] 3. Tool switching relies on manual intervention: In multi-process processing, operators need to frequently change tools or adjust fixtures manually, resulting in low automation, which not only increases labor intensity but also poses safety hazards;
[0006] 4. Insufficient dynamic coordination: Conventional equipment mostly adopts a fixed processing mode, where the workpiece is stationary and the tool feeds in one direction. It is difficult to achieve dynamic coordination between workpiece rotation and radial / axial movement of the tool, resulting in poor surface treatment uniformity. In particular, it is difficult to control the processing accuracy of curved or irregular flange edges.
[0007] The aforementioned problems severely restrict the mass production efficiency and processing quality of wheel hub bearing flanges. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated, high-precision machining device capable of multi-process continuous operation, automatic tool changing, and dynamic collaborative machining, thereby breaking through the industry's technical bottlenecks.

[0013] In the above technical solution, the milling cutter converter includes a clamp, a clamp block, an electric push rod, a U-shaped bracket, a ball bearing, a conversion disc, a machining part, a spline head, a first gear, a second gear, and a fifth motor.
