Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wheel hub processing technology, and in particular to a cooling processing device for automobile wheel hubs. Background Technology

[0002] Cooling is a crucial step in the manufacturing process of automotive wheels. After casting and grinding, wheels often retain a significant amount of residual heat, requiring timely cooling to stabilize their internal structure and ensure mechanical performance. Traditional cooling methods typically involve hoisting the hot wheel to a cooling water tank using a crane or overhead crane, followed by manual lowering by operators. However, this process has significant limitations:

[0003] On the one hand, the demand for manual assistance is high, requiring at least 2-3 operators to cooperate in hooking, adjusting the angle and observing the lowering process. Labor costs account for more than 30% of the total cost of the process, and wheel hub collision damage is easily caused by human error.

[0004] On the other hand, hoisting efficiency is low, with a single operation cycle taking 8-10 minutes, making it difficult to meet the continuous operation requirements of automated production lines, especially in large-scale production scenarios, easily creating a capacity bottleneck. Furthermore, manual operation in high-temperature environments poses safety hazards such as burns and falls, failing to meet modern industrial safety standards. Based on these considerations, an automotive wheel hub cooling device was designed, enabling automatic transfer and immersion cooling of the wheel hub after casting and grinding, thereby improving cooling efficiency. Utility Model Content
