Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the automotive field, and in particular to an automatic wheel hub transfer device for automobiles. Background Technology

[0002] After the car wheel rims are processed, they need to be painted. After painting, they undergo a baking process, during which the rims are heated. Once the paint is baked, workers need to conduct a comprehensive inspection to check for any quality issues. Traditionally, the heated rims are removed from the conveyor line after baking and allowed to cool before inspection and packaging. Removing heated rims from the conveyor line requires specialized equipment, and the cooling process causes rim buildup, necessitating additional cooling areas. To improve efficiency, rims are often inspected before they have fully cooled to room temperature, resulting in high temperatures in the inspection area and a deteriorated working environment. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide an automatic wheel hub transfer device that can automatically transfer and cool the wheel hub.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of this utility model is: an automatic transfer device for automobile wheel hubs, comprising a vertical channel, an inclined channel, a first conveyor line, a second conveyor line, and a third conveyor line;

[0005] The front end of the inclined channel connects to the middle of the vertical channel, and the rear end of the inclined channel extends obliquely upward. A second conveyor line is located within the inclined channel, with its front end extending into the vertical channel. The second conveyor line includes a central conveyor belt and two side conveyor belts, each located on either side of the central conveyor belt. The front ends of both side conveyor belts extend obliquely downward from the front end of the central conveyor belt and into the vertical channel.

[0006] A first fan blowing air downwards is installed above the second conveyor line in the vertical channel;

[0007] The first conveyor line passes laterally through the lower part of the vertical channel; a bracket for supporting the hub is movably provided on the first conveyor line; the bracket can move along the first conveyor line through the gap between the two side conveyor belts;

[0008] The third conveyor line is located behind the second conveyor line.

[0009] The wheel hub is placed on a bracket and conveyed along the first conveyor line. When the heated, painted wheel hub is conveyed to the vertical channel, it is supported by two side conveyor belts and conveyed diagonally upwards. The wheel hub separates from the bracket and is automatically transferred from the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line. As the wheel hub enters the vertical channel, the first fan in the vertical channel blows air downwards, creating a downward airflow that cools the wheel hub. The front end of the diagonal channel slopes downwards, and the downward airflow in the vertical channel drives the airflow in the diagonal channel forward, creating a diagonal airflow that further cools the wheel hub on the second conveyor line. The third conveyor line then conveys the cooled wheel hub to the inspection and packaging station.

[0010] Preferably, the bracket includes a base, a rotating shaft, and a tray. The base is movably mounted on the first conveyor line. The rotating shaft is rotatably mounted on the base along a vertical axis. The tray is located at the upper end of the rotating shaft and is used to support the wheel hub. A rack is provided on the first conveyor line, and a gear meshing with the rack is provided at the lower end of the rotating shaft. The base, carrying the rotating shaft and the tray, moves on the first conveyor line. The rotating shaft rotates the tray, and the wheel hub is fitted onto the tray and rotates with the tray.

[0011] Preferably, the central conveyor belt and the two side conveyor belts are mesh belts. An air inlet is provided at the top of the inclined channel, and the lower end of the air inlet faces the second conveyor line. A second fan is provided at the air inlet to blow air towards the second conveyor line. The second fan can blow air towards the hub on the second conveyor line. After passing through the hub, the air from the second fan can penetrate downwards through the gaps in the mesh belt, and the heat inside the hub can be carried away.

[0012] Preferably, the inner wall of the inclined channel is provided with several air guide plates, the front ends of which extend downwards in a spiral. The air guide plates within the inclined channel guide the inclined airflow, ensuring that the airflow not only blows onto the outer side of the hub on the second conveyor line, but also directs the airflow towards the inner side of the hub. This allows the hub to be adequately cooled within the inclined channel.

[0013] Preferably, the inner wall of the inclined channel is provided with several air guide plates, the front end of which extends downward in a spiral; the second fan is located between the two air guide plates.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: When the heated wheel hub, after being painted, is conveyed to the vertical channel, it is supported by two side conveyor belts and conveyed obliquely upwards. The wheel hub is automatically transferred from the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line. Simultaneously, the downward airflow in the vertical channel cools the wheel hub. The downward airflow in the vertical channel drives the airflow in the oblique channel forward, forming an oblique airflow, which further cools the wheel hub on the second conveyor line. The painted wheel hub can be automatically transferred and rapidly cooled, reducing material accumulation and improving production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0021] like Figures 1-3 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic transfer device for automobile wheel hubs, including a vertical channel 4, an inclined channel 5, a first conveyor line 1, a second conveyor line 2, and a third conveyor line 3.

[0022] like Figure 1 As shown, the front end of the inclined channel 5 connects to the middle of the vertical channel 4, and the rear end of the inclined channel 5 extends obliquely upwards and backwards. The second conveyor line 2 is located within the inclined channel, and its front end extends obliquely downwards into the vertical channel 4. Figure 2 As shown, the second conveyor line 2 includes a central conveyor belt 21 and two side conveyor belts 22. The two side conveyor belts 22 are respectively located on both sides of the central conveyor belt 21. The front ends of the two side conveyor belts 22 extend obliquely downward from the front end of the central conveyor belt 21 and extend into the vertical channel 4.

[0023] The central conveyor belt 21 and the two side conveyor belts 22 are both mesh belts, allowing air to pass through. An air inlet 51 is located at the top of the inclined channel 5, with its lower end facing the second conveyor line 2. A second fan 52 is installed at the air inlet 51 to blow air towards the second conveyor line. The second fan 52 can blow airflow into the inner side of the hub on the second conveyor line. Figure 3 As shown, several air guide plates 53 are provided on the inner wall of the inclined channel 5, with the front end of the air guide plates 53 spiraling downward; the second fan 52 is located between two air guide plates 53. The inclined airflow flowing forward in the inclined channel 5 can be disturbed and reversed by the second fan and the air guide plates, so that part of the inclined airflow is blown into the inner side of the hub 7 to cool the inner side of the hub 7.

[0024] A first fan 41 blowing downwards is installed above the second conveyor line 2 within the vertical channel 4. The lower end of the vertical channel is connected to an exhaust channel. The first fan 41 blows downwards, creating a downward airflow within the vertical channel 4. This downward airflow drives the airflow in the oblique channel downwards, creating an oblique airflow within the oblique channel.

[0025] The first conveyor line 1 passes laterally through the lower part of the vertical channel 4. A bracket 6 for supporting the wheel hub is movably mounted on the first conveyor line 1. The bracket 6 can move along the first conveyor line 1 through the gap between the front ends of the two side conveyor belts 22. The bracket 6 includes a base 61, a rotating shaft 62, and a tray 63. The base 61 is movably mounted on the first conveyor line 1, the rotating shaft 62 is rotatably mounted on the base 61 along a vertical axis, and the tray 63 is located at the upper end of the rotating shaft 62, supporting the wheel hub 7. A rack is mounted on the first conveyor line 1, and a gear meshing with the rack is located at the lower end of the rotating shaft. The base, carrying the rotating shaft and tray, moves along the first conveyor line; the rotating shaft rotates the tray; and the wheel hub is fitted onto the tray and rotates with the tray.

[0026] The third conveyor line 3 is located behind the second conveyor line 2. The third conveyor line 3 can transport the cooled wheel hubs to the inspection and packaging station for inspection and packaging.

[0027] The wheel hub 7 is placed on the bracket 6 and conveyed along the first conveyor line 1. After the wheel hub is painted, the first conveyor line sends the wheel hub out of the painting device, and the wheel hub 7 is conveyed into the vertical channel. In the vertical channel 4, the wheel hub 7 is supported by two side conveyor belts 22 and conveyed obliquely upward. The wheel hub 7 separates from the bracket 6 and is automatically transferred from the first conveyor line 1 to the second conveyor line 2. When the wheel hub 7 enters the vertical channel 4, the downward airflow in the vertical channel 4 provides initial cooling to the wheel hub. After the wheel hub is conveyed into the oblique channel by the second conveyor line, the oblique airflow further cools the wheel hub. The third conveyor line 3 can convey the cooled wheel hub to the inspection and packaging station for inspection and packaging. After the wheel hub is painted, it can be quickly cooled and directly conveyed to the inspection and packaging station, resulting in high production efficiency.

[0028] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the scope of implementation of the present utility model. All equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application of the present utility model shall still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
