Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of automotive parts technology, and in particular relates to a wheel hub oil seal tooling. Background Technology

[0002] The automotive wheel assembly is a major component of the vehicle's control system, comprising wheel bearings, the wheel hub, brake discs, and wheel oil seals. Wheel bearings, based on their assembly position, are designated as inner and outer bearings. Both are tapered roller bearings, consisting of an inner ring and an outer ring; the wheel hub and the outer ring of the bearing are fitted together with an interference fit. As a rotating connecting component, the assembly quality of the wheel bearing directly affects its wear condition. If the bearing is misaligned, it will cause wear and failure, severely impacting its service life. The wheel oil seal's function is to seal the bearing; the wheel hub and the wheel oil seal are also fitted together with an interference fit.

[0003] Currently, there is another type of wheel hub and bearing unit assembly on the market. The bearing unit includes an inner bearing and an outer bearing, which are installed on the wheel hub. In existing technology, operators rely entirely on their bare hands to install the inner oil seal onto the inner bearing and the outer oil seal onto the outer bearing. The result of manual installation by operators is often that the inner and outer oil seals are not installed properly, leading to poor sealing. This causes the lubricating grease to fail and leak during the use of the wheel hub, affecting the reliability of the wheel hub and further affecting the reliability of the vehicle, thus reducing the safety factor of the vehicle. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a wheel hub oil seal assembly tooling, which assembles the inner oil seal and the outer oil seal onto the inner bearing and the outer bearing of the wheel hub respectively, thereby improving the sealing performance of the inner and outer oil seals, effectively preventing the leakage of lubricating grease during wheel hub use, improving the reliability of wheel hub use, further ensuring the reliability of vehicle use, and improving the safety factor of vehicle use.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A wheel hub oil seal assembly fixture is disclosed. An inner bearing and an outer bearing are provided on the wheel hub. The fixture is used to install the inner oil seal onto the inner bearing and the outer oil seal onto the outer bearing. The fixture includes a worktable, a pressing mechanism, and a pressing power component. The worktable has a through hole. The pressing mechanism includes an inner oil seal press head and an outer oil seal press head, located at the through hole and positioned vertically opposite each other. Both the inner and outer oil seal press heads are connected to the pressing power component. Under the drive of the pressing power component, both the inner and outer oil seal press heads can move vertically, and the outer oil seal press head can pass through the through hole during vertical movement.

[0007] Furthermore, the inner oil seal head is connected to the pressing power component via an inner oil seal head connector.

[0008] Furthermore, the external oil seal head is connected to the press-fitting power component via an external oil seal head connector.

[0009] Furthermore, a hub positioning plate is detachably and fixedly installed on the upper surface of the workbench. The hub positioning plate has an L-shaped structure and includes a horizontal part and a vertical part connected together. The horizontal part is detachably and fixedly connected to the workbench, and the vertical part positions the hub.

[0010] Furthermore, the inner oil seal press head includes an inner oil seal press head guide, an inner oil seal flange pressing part, and an inner oil seal inner skeleton pressing part.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner oil seal inner skeleton pressing part is a downward protrusion, and the inner oil seal flange pressing part is located outside the inner oil seal inner skeleton pressing part; when pressing the inner oil seal, the inner oil seal flange pressing part presses the inner oil seal flange of the inner oil seal, and the inner oil seal inner skeleton pressing part presses the inner skeleton of the inner oil seal.

[0012] Furthermore, the external oil seal pressure head includes an external oil seal pressure head guide portion, an external oil seal pressure head hub contact portion, and an external oil seal pressing portion.

[0013] Furthermore, the outer oil seal pressure head has an upwardly protruding boss, which includes the outer oil seal pressing part and the top of the boss. The outer oil seal pressing part is located outside the top of the boss, and the height of the top of the boss is higher than that of the outer oil seal pressing part. When pressing the outer oil seal, the outer oil seal pressing part presses the outer oil seal, and there is a gap between the top of the boss and the outer oil seal. The hub contact part of the outer oil seal pressure head contacts the hub.

[0014] Furthermore, the outer circumferential surface of the inner oil seal head is provided with an inner oil seal head groove, and the bottom of the inner oil seal head groove is provided with a plurality of inner oil seal head connection holes at intervals.

[0015] Furthermore, the outer peripheral surface of the outer oil seal head is provided with an outer oil seal head groove, and the bottom of the groove is provided with a plurality of outer oil seal head connection holes at intervals.

[0016] Due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This utility model discloses a wheel hub oil seal assembly fixture, comprising a worktable, a pressing mechanism, and a pressing power component. The worktable has a through hole. The pressing mechanism includes an inner oil seal head and an outer oil seal head, located at the through hole and positioned vertically opposite each other. Both the inner and outer oil seal heads are connected to the pressing power component, allowing them to move vertically under its influence. The outer oil seal head can pass through the through hole during this vertical movement. The wheel hub has an inner bearing and an outer bearing. Using this wheel hub oil seal assembly fixture to install the inner oil seal on the inner bearing and the outer oil seal on the outer bearing improves the sealing performance of the inner and outer oil seals, effectively preventing lubricant leakage during wheel hub use, improving wheel hub reliability, further ensuring vehicle reliability, and enhancing vehicle safety.
