[0002] As a core component of a vehicle's driving system, the impact strength of wheels directly affects vehicle safety. During wheel production and development, impact strength testing is essential to verify structural reliability. The positioning and clamping mechanism is a critical component of wheel collision testing equipment, and its performance directly impacts testing accuracy and safety.
[0003] However, the existing wheel positioning and clamping mechanisms have the following shortcomings: First, the positioning reference is singular, relying mainly on the wheel center hole or the edge of the rim for positioning, which is prone to positioning deviation due to wheel size deviation; Second, the clamping force adjustment accuracy is low, making it difficult to adapt to different wheel specifications, and it is prone to loosening under collision impact. Therefore, a wheel collision strength detection positioning and clamping mechanism is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The positioning structure includes a cylinder, a lifting cylinder is installed at the lower end of the rotating platform, a positioning cone is inserted through the upper end of the rotating platform, and multiple sets of first pressure sensors are installed on the outer wall of the positioning cone.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the advantages and positive effects of this utility model are as follows:
[0015] 1. In this utility model, the positioning structure uses a polyurethane positioning cone head that fits with the cone surface of the wheel's center hole. With the real-time feedback from the first pressure sensor, the center positioning error is eliminated. Three sets of circumferentially distributed clamping units work together with the center positioning to form a dual positioning of "centering and circumferential constraint," which avoids wheel deviation during collision detection.

The screw can achieve a wide range of spacing adjustment. With the replaceable L-shaped plate, it can be adapted to wheels of different specifications and different rim shapes, with strong compatibility. Secondly, the second pressure sensor monitors the clamping force in real time and realizes closed-loop control. The clamping force can be flexibly adjusted according to the wheel material, which can ensure that there is no loosening during collision and avoid damage to the wheel due to excessive clamping force.

[0028] A variable speed motor 13 is installed at the top of the interior of the fixed frame 1. The output end of the variable speed motor 13 passes through the top of the interior of the fixed frame 1 and is fixed to the input end of the detection rotation component 11. The variable speed motor 13 is connected to the control panel 12 for signal transmission.
[0029] The specific settings and functions of this embodiment are described in detail below. The top of the interior has a reserved mounting hole for fixing the variable speed motor 13; the upper end face is rigidly connected to the detection rotation assembly 11 by bolts to ensure structural stability during the driving process.
[0030] The rotating assembly 11 consists of a planetary gear reducer, a deep groove ball bearing, and an output flange. The input end of the reducer is connected to the output shaft of the variable speed motor 13 via a key, and the output end is fixed to the bottom center of the rotating platform 14 via the flange. The deep groove ball bearing is embedded in the mounting hole at the upper end of the fixed frame 1, which provides radial support and axial positioning for the rotating platform 14, ensuring the radial runout during rotation.

[0036] The lifting cylinder 21 is a mini cylinder, which is fixed to the center of the lower end face of the rotating platform 14 by an L-shaped bracket. The end of its piston rod is fixed to the connecting flange at the lower end of the positioning cone 22 by a thread, which can drive the positioning cone 22 to achieve axial lifting and lowering, and adapt to the positioning needs of wheels of different thicknesses.
[0037] The positioning cone 22 is integrally molded from polyurethane material and has an overall conical structure. The bottom top is provided with a guide rounded corner to facilitate smooth insertion into the center hole of the wheel. The lower part of the cone is provided with a metal connecting flange for connecting to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 21. Three sets of first pressure sensors 24 are evenly distributed along the axial direction on the outer wall.
[0038] The cylinder 23 is made of stainless steel. Its lower end is fixed to the center of the upper end face of the rotating platform 14 by welding. The upper end face is flush with the large end of the positioning cone 22, forming a protective and guide sleeve for the positioning cone 22 to prevent radial displacement of the cone during the lifting process.
[0039] The first pressure sensor 24 is a miniature pressure sensor, which is fixed to the outer wall of the positioning cone 22 by embedding. Its detection surface is flush with the surface of the cone.

[0041] A convex groove 17 is formed on the upper end face of the rotating platform 14. The cross-section is "T". Lithium-based grease is applied inside the groove to reduce sliding friction. The convex seat 18 is made of nylon and its cross-section is adapted to the convex groove 17. The bottom is provided with a wear-resistant coating and can slide smoothly along the convex groove 17.

[0042] The movable seat 31 is made of aluminum alloy and has a pre-drilled cylinder mounting hole inside for fixing the clamping cylinder 32; its lower end face is rigidly connected to the convex seat 18 and moves synchronously with the convex seat 18.
[0043] The clamping cylinder 32 is a thin cylinder, which is fixed inside the movable seat 31 by bolts. The end of its piston rod is connected to the limit seat 34 through a floating joint, which can compensate for installation errors and ensure uniform transmission of clamping force.
[0044] The limiting seat 34 is a steel plate stamping part used to connect the piston rod of the clamping cylinder 32 and the L-shaped plate 33; the detachable L-shaped plate 33 is made of high-strength plastic, and its clamping surface is designed to be arc-shaped according to the shape of the wheel rim. It is detachably connected to the limiting seat 34 by two M6 bolts, which makes it easy to replace and adapt to different specifications of wheels.
[0045] The protective pad 35 is made of nitrile rubber and is glued to the inner wall of the L-shaped plate 33 to prevent scratching the wheel rim during clamping. The second pressure sensor 36 is embedded in the top of the L-shaped plate 33, and its detection surface is in contact with the inner wall of the protective pad 35. It can detect the clamping force in real time and feed the signal back to the control panel 12.

One end of the three sets of screws 16 is rotatably installed inside the three sets of convex grooves 17, and the three sets of screws 16 are respectively threadedly connected to the three sets of convex seats 18.
[0047] The overall effect of this embodiment is that the upper end of the rotating platform 14 has three sets of radially distributed convex grooves 17. One end is supported by a deep groove ball bearing on the inner end of the convex groove 17, and the other end passes through the outer wall of the rotating platform 14 and is equipped with a handwheel. The screw 16 is connected to the convex seat 18 by a thread. Rotating the handwheel can drive the convex seat 18 to move radially along the convex groove 17, which facilitates the adjustment of the position of the movable seat 31.

When the first pressure sensor 24 detects that the pressure reaches the set threshold, it sends a feedback signal to the control panel 12, the lifting cylinder 21 stops moving, and the center positioning is completed.
[0050] Circumferential clamping: The control panel 12 sends a command to start the clamping cylinder 32. The piston rod extends and pushes the L-shaped plate 33 toward the wheel rim. After the protective pad 35 contacts the wheel rim, the second pressure sensor 36 detects the clamping force in real time. After the set value is reached, the clamping cylinder 32 stops operating, thus achieving stable clamping.
