Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of wheel hub processing technology, and more specifically, to a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs. Background Technology

[0002] The wheel hub is the part of the wheel where the axle is mounted; it is commonly referred to as the wheel rim or steel rim. The wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component inside the car tire that supports the tire around the axle. It is an important component connecting the brake drum, brake disc, wheel disc, and half-shaft.

[0003] Wheel rims on the market can be divided into steel rims and aluminum alloy rims according to their materials, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages. The main advantages of steel rims are that the manufacturing process is simple, the cost is relatively low, and the resistance to metal fatigue is very strong. However, the disadvantages of steel rims are also relatively prominent: they are ugly in appearance, heavy inertial resistance, have high inertial resistance, poor heat dissipation, and are very prone to rust. Aluminum alloy rims can make up for these problems. They are lighter, have low inertial resistance, are manufactured with high precision, and have less deformation at high speeds. The low inertial resistance is beneficial to improving the straight-line driving performance of the car and reducing tire rolling resistance, thereby reducing fuel consumption.

[0004] During the production and processing of wheel hubs, drilling is usually required. Existing wheel hub drilling equipment requires multiple machines to perform multiple drilling operations, resulting in high labor intensity and production costs, and relatively low processing efficiency and automation.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheels to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] To overcome the above-mentioned defects, embodiments of this disclosure provide a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs, which solves the technical problems of relatively low processing efficiency and automation in the prior art.

[0007] According to one aspect, at least one embodiment of this disclosure provides a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs, including a processing table. The top of the processing table has multiple fixing holes. A fixing slide rail is installed on the inner side of one of the fixing holes. The fixing slide rail is connected to one side of a fixing plate via a slider. A drilling machine is located above the fixing holes. The top of the drilling machine is connected to a movable plate. The movable plate is connected to a movable slide rail via a slider. The top of the movable slide rail is installed at the bottom of a rotating plate. One end of the rotating plate is connected to the drive end of a rotary motor. The rotary motor is installed at the bottom of a lifting plate. The top of the lifting plate is connected to the extension end of a lifting cylinder. The fixed end of the lifting cylinder is connected to the transverse plate of an L-shaped support plate. The vertical portion of the support plate is connected to the side of the processing table.

[0008] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the machine further includes: a first guide plate and a second guide plate connected to the two sides of the movable plate, wherein the first guide plate and the second guide plate are slidably connected to the two sides of the rotating plate.

[0009] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a plurality of rotating blocks are mounted on the top of the rotating plate, the rotating blocks are rotatably connected to rotating grooves, and the rotating grooves are disposed at the bottom of the lifting plate.

[0010] For example, in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheels further includes: the top of the lifting plate is connected to the telescopic ends of a plurality of telescopic shafts, and the fixed ends of the telescopic shafts are connected to the bottom of the support plate.

[0011] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the number of telescopic shafts is four, and the telescopic shafts are distributed in a cross shape on the top of the lifting plate.

[0012] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the other side of the fixing plate is connected to a guide rail via a slider, and the guide rail is installed on the other inner side of the fixing hole.

[0013] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, the machine further includes: a first placement groove and a second placement groove respectively provided on the two inner sides of the fixing hole, and the fixing slide rail and the guide rail respectively installed in the first placement groove and the second placement groove.

[0014] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a recycling hole is provided on the top of the machine base between the fixed holes.

[0015] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a recycling box is provided below the recycling hole, the top of the recycling box is movably connected to the bottom of the worktable, and the recycling hole and the fixing hole are located inside the recycling box.

[0016] For example, in a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided in at least one embodiment of this disclosure, a fixing pad is bonded to the side of the fixing plate, and the fixing pad is made of rubber.

[0017] The beneficial effects of the embodiments disclosed herein are as follows:

[0018] In this disclosure, the drilling machine can be moved horizontally and vertically by means of a sliding rail, a rotary motor and a lifting cylinder. It can be moved to the position to be drilled according to the settings. Drilling can be performed by a single device, eliminating the need for multiple machines to perform drilling processing. This eliminates the need for the wheel hub to move between machines, reduces the intensity of manual labor and production costs, and improves processing efficiency.

[0019] In this disclosure, by setting a first guide block and a second guide block, the stability of the moving plate when moving back and forth under the drive of the moving slide rail can be improved by the limiting guidance of the first guide groove and the second guide groove.

[0020] In this invention, by setting up a recycling hole and a recycling box, the debris generated during the drilling process can fall through the recycling hole and the fixing hole, and be collected in the recycling box to prevent the debris from falling to the ground and causing environmental pollution.

[0026] The present disclosure will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present disclosure and are not intended to limit the scope of the disclosure.

[0027] To keep the drawings concise, each drawing only schematically shows the parts relevant to the disclosure; these do not represent the actual structure of the product. Furthermore, for ease of understanding, in some drawings, only one of components with the same structure or function is schematically shown, or only one is labeled. In this document, "one" not only means "only one," but can also mean "more than one," and "several" includes "two" and "more than two."

[0028] In this document, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linkage" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this disclosure based on the specific circumstances.

[0029] In this disclosure, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0030] In the description of this embodiment, terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," and "right" are based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for the convenience of description and simplification of operation, and are not intended to indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this disclosure.

[0031] Furthermore, in the description of this application, the terms "first," "second," etc., are used only to distinguish descriptions and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0032] like Figures 1-3The diagram illustrates a drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs according to an embodiment of this disclosure. It includes: a processing table 1 with multiple fixing holes 2 on its top; a fixing slide rail 10 mounted on the inner side of each fixing hole 2; the fixing slide rail 10 connected to one side of a fixing plate 13 via a slider; a drilling machine 23 positioned above the fixing holes 2; a moving plate 20 connected to the top of the drilling machine 23; a moving slide rail 19 connected to the moving plate 20 via a slider; the top of the moving slide rail 19 mounted on the bottom of a rotating plate 18; one end of the rotating plate 18 connected to the drive end of a rotary motor 15; the rotary motor 15 mounted on the bottom of a lifting plate 5; the top of the lifting plate 5 connected to the telescopic end of a lifting cylinder 6; the fixed end of the lifting cylinder 6 connected to the horizontal plate of an L-shaped support plate 8; and the vertical portion of the support plate 8 connected to the side of the processing table 1.

[0033] It should be noted that before drilling, the existing robotic arm can be used to move the wheel hub to be drilled from the wheel hub placement area to the top of the processing table 1, and the fixing plate 13 is placed inside the wheel hub. Then, the controller synchronously starts multiple fixing slide rails 10, and moves the fixing plate 13 connected to the fixing slide rails 10 to the inner side of the wheel hub until all the fixing plates 13 are in contact with the inner side of the wheel hub. Multiple forces are applied to the wheel hub by the multiple fixing plates 13 to move outward, so as to achieve balance and thus fix the wheel hub with the fixing plates 13. After the wheel hub is fixed, the robotic arm is released and returns to its original position.

[0034] During drilling operations, the existing CNC drilling machine 23 can be selected. Driven by the sliding rail 19, the moving plate 20 can drive the drilling machine 23 to move back and forth. Driven by the rotary motor 15, the sliding rail 19 can be rotated, thereby driving the drilling machine 23 to rotate synchronously. The center line between the central axis of the rotary motor 15 and the center line between the fixed hole 2 is the same straight line. After the drilling machine 23 is rotated to be directly above the hub to be drilled, the lifting cylinder 6 drives the drilling machine 23 to move up and down. During the up and down movement, the drilling machine 23 is started synchronously to perform drilling operations on the hub.

[0035] The drilling machine 23 can move horizontally and vertically by means of the sliding rail 19, the rotary motor 15 and the lifting cylinder 6. It can be moved to the position to be drilled according to the settings. Drilling can be carried out by a single device, eliminating the need for multiple machines to perform drilling. This reduces the need for the wheel hub to move between machines, thus reducing the intensity of manual labor and production costs, and improving processing efficiency.

[0036] In some examples, reference Figure 3As shown, the two sides of the movable plate 20 are respectively connected to the first guide plate 21 and the second guide plate 22, and the first guide plate 21 and the second guide plate 22 are slidably connected to the two sides of the rotating plate 18.

[0037] It should be noted that by setting the first guide plate 21 and the second guide plate 22, the stability of the moving plate 20 when it moves back and forth under the drive of the moving slide rail 19 can be improved by limiting and guiding the two sides of the rotating plate 18.

[0038] In some examples, reference Figure 3 As shown, a plurality of rotating blocks 17 are mounted on the top of the rotating plate 18, and the rotating blocks 17 are rotatably connected to the rotating groove 16, which is located at the bottom of the lifting plate 5.

[0039] It should be noted that by setting multiple rotating blocks 17, when the rotating motor 15 drives the rotating plate 18 to rotate, the stability of the rotating plate 18 during rotation can be improved by the limiting guidance of the rotating groove 16.

[0040] In some examples, reference Figure 1 As shown, the top of the lifting plate 5 is connected to the telescopic ends of multiple telescopic shafts 7, and the fixed ends of the telescopic shafts 7 are connected to the bottom of the support plate 8.

[0041] In some examples, reference Figure 1 As shown, there are four telescopic shafts 7, which are arranged in a cross shape on the top of the lifting plate 5.

[0042] It should be noted that by setting multiple telescopic rods, when the lifting plate 5 moves up and down, the telescopic shaft 7 is driven to move up and down synchronously. The telescopic shaft 7 is connected to the lifting plate 5, which can limit the lifting plate 5 and improve the stability of the lifting plate 5 when it moves up and down.

[0043] In some examples, reference Figure 2 As shown, the other side of the fixing plate 13 is connected to the guide rail 12 via a slider, and the guide rail 12 is installed on the other inner side of the fixing hole 2.

[0044] It should be noted that by setting the guide rail 12, it can cooperate with the fixed slide rail 10 to make the fixed plate 13 bear force evenly, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the fixed plate 13 and better realizing the fixing operation of the contour.

[0045] In some examples, reference Figure 2 As shown, the two inner sides of the fixing hole 2 are respectively provided with a first placement groove 9 and a second placement groove 11, and the fixing slide rail 10 and the guide rail 12 are respectively installed in the first placement groove 9 and the second placement groove 11.

[0046] It should be noted that by setting the first placement slot 9 and the second placement slot 11, the fixed slide rail 10 and the guide rail 12 can be placed therein, thereby protecting the fixed slide rail 10 and the guide rail 12 and preventing the debris generated during the drilling process from affecting the fixed slide rail 10 and the guide rail 12.

[0047] In some examples, reference Figure 2 As shown, a recycling hole 3 is provided on the top of the machine base between the fixing holes 2.

[0048] In some examples, reference Figure 1 As shown, a recycling box 4 is provided below the recycling hole 3. The top of the recycling box 4 is movably connected to the bottom of the workbench. The recycling hole 3 and the fixing hole 2 are located inside the recycling box 4.

[0049] It should be noted that by setting up the recycling hole 3 and the recycling box 4, the debris generated during the drilling process can fall through the recycling hole 3 and the fixing hole 2, and be collected by the recycling box 4, preventing the debris from falling to the ground and causing environmental pollution.

[0050] In some examples, reference Figure 2 As shown, a fixing pad 14 is bonded to the side of the fixing plate 13, and the fixing pad 14 is made of rubber.

[0051] It should be noted that by setting the fixing pad 14 made of rubber, the pressure on the inner side of the wheel hub can be reduced when the fixing plate 13 contacts the inner side of the wheel hub, preventing excessive force on the inner side of the wheel hub and damage.

[0052] The working principle of the drilling machine for processing aluminum alloy wheel hubs provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0053] Driven by the sliding rail 19, the moving plate 20 can move the drilling machine 23 back and forth. Driven by the rotary motor 15, the sliding rail 19 can rotate, which in turn drives the drilling machine 23 to rotate synchronously. The center line between the central axis of the rotary motor 15 and the center line between the fixed hole 2 is the same straight line. After the drilling machine 23 is rotated to be directly above the hub to be drilled, the lifting cylinder 6 drives the drilling machine 23 to move up and down. During the up and down movement, the drilling machine 23 is started synchronously to perform drilling operations on the hub.

[0054] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this disclosure and are not intended to limit it. Although this disclosure has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this disclosure without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this disclosure, and all such modifications and substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this disclosure.
