[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0019] Please see Figures 1-4 In this embodiment of the utility model, a bicycle wheel rim drilling machine with positioning function includes a workbench 1, an intermittent rotation mechanism 2 in the middle of the workbench 1, a turntable 3 fixedly connected to the upper end of the intermittent rotation mechanism 2, a positioning mechanism 4 on the turntable 3, a drilling mechanism 5 respectively on both sides of the workbench 1, and a controller 8 fixedly connected to the workbench 1, the controller 8 being electrically connected to the electronic components of the above-mentioned mechanism.
[0020] The positioning mechanism 4 consists of multiple radially movable components 41 and clamping components 42 fixed above them. In this embodiment of the present invention, four sets of movable components 41 and clamping components 42 are used, which are arranged opposite each other in the transverse and longitudinal directions, respectively. The turntable 3 has four mounting slots 31. The movable components 41 are installed in the mounting slots 31. The movable components 41 include a first motor 411, a first lead screw 412 and a screw sleeve 413. The first motor 411 is fixedly connected in the mounting slot 31. The output end of the first motor 411 is fixedly connected to the first lead screw 412. The other end of the first lead screw 412 is rotatably connected in the mounting slot 31. The screw sleeve 413 is threadedly connected to the first lead screw 412 and is slidably connected to the mounting slot 31. The clamping assembly 42 includes a C-shaped plate 421, a first electric telescopic rod 422, and a pressure plate 423. The C-shaped plate 421 is fixedly connected to the threaded sleeve 413. The first electric telescopic rod 422 is fixedly connected to the top wall of the C-shaped plate 421, and the pressure plate 423 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first electric telescopic rod 422. During operation, the wheel rim is moved onto the turntable 3, and then the first motor 411 is started. The first motor 411 drives the first lead screw 412 to rotate, which in turn drives the threaded sleeve 413 and the clamping assembly 42 above it to move, so that the four clamping assemblies 42 clamp the inner side of the wheel rim from different directions. Then, the first electric telescopic rod 422 is started, which drives the pressure plate 423 to move down and press and fix the upper side of the wheel rim, thereby achieving stable clamping and positioning of the wheel rim.
[0021] To enable the drilling mechanism 5 to drill holes in the position where the wheel rim is held by the clamping assembly 42, a movable clamping assembly 6 is provided on the clamping assembly 42.

Multiple springs 61 are provided, with one end of each spring fixedly connected to the inner side of the side wall of the C-shaped plate 421, and the other end fixedly connected to the movable plates 62. The four movable plates 62 can position the inner side of the wheel rim. When the drilling mechanism 5 drills holes in the wheel rim position positioned by the movable plates 62, if the drill bit contacts the movable plate 62, the movable plate 62 compresses the springs 61 and moves to one side of the C-shaped plate 421, avoiding interference with the drilling of the wheel rim and achieving the requirement of drilling holes in various positions of the wheel rim.
[0022] A pre-tightening assembly 7 is provided on the movable plate 62. The pre-tightening assembly 7 includes multiple screws 71 and nuts 72. One end of the screw 71 is fixedly connected to the movable plate 62, and the other end passes through the side wall of the C-shaped plate 421 and is slidably connected to it.

By adjusting the position of the nut 72, the pre-tightening force of the spring 61 can be adjusted to adapt to the different clamping force requirements of wheel rims of different materials and thicknesses, ensuring that the clamping force of the movable plate 62 on the wheel rim is within a suitable range. At the same time, the screws 71 can guide the movement of the movable plate 62, ensuring that the movable plate 62 moves smoothly.
[0023] The intermittent rotation mechanism 2 includes a second motor 21, a non-complete gear 22, a complete gear 23, and a rotating shaft 24.

[0024] The drilling mechanism 5 consists of a drilling assembly 51 and a lifting assembly 52. The drilling assembly 51 includes a hydraulic cylinder 511, a mounting plate 512, a drilling motor 513, and a drill bit 514.

The output end of the drilling motor 513 is fixedly connected to the drill bit 514. The lifting assembly 52 includes a U-shaped frame 521, a second lead screw 522, a third motor 523, a moving plate 524, a support rod 525, a bearing plate 526, and a fixed seat 527. The upper end of the U-shaped frame 521 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the workbench 1. The second lead screw 522 is rotatably connected between the bottom plate of the U-shaped frame 521 and the bottom surface of the workbench 1. The lower end of the second lead screw 522 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 523. The third motor 523 is fixedly connected to the U-shaped frame 521. The moving plate 524 is threadedly connected to the second lead screw 522. The moving plate 524 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the U-shaped frame 521. A support rod 525 is vertically connected to each side of the moving plate 524. The support rod 525 passes through the workbench 1 and is slidably connected to it. The upper ends of both support rods 525 are fixedly connected to the bearing plate 526. The fixed seat 527 is fixedly connected to the bearing plate 526. The drilling assembly 51 is fixedly connected to the fixed seat 527.
[0025] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: First, based on the material, thickness, and other parameters of the wheel rim to be processed, the preload of the spring 61 on the movable plate 62 is adjusted by adjusting the nut 72 on the preload assembly 7, thus completing the equipment preparation. Next, the bicycle wheel rim is placed on the turntable 3, and the first motor 411 in the positioning mechanism 4 is started by the controller 8, which drives the first lead screw 412 to rotate, causing the screw sleeve 413 and the clamping assembly 42 above it to move radially, approaching the inner side of the wheel rim from different directions. Then, the first electric telescopic rod 422 is started by the controller 8, which drives the pressure plate 423 to move down, achieving initial stable clamping of the wheel rim. At this time, the movable plate 62 also contacts the inner side of the wheel rim for further positioning. Drilling is then performed. The working frequency of the drilling assembly 51 is set on the controller 8. The third motor 523 in the lifting assembly 52 is started, driving the second lead screw 522 to rotate. This causes the moving plate 524 to move the bearing plate 526 and the fixed seat 527 to adjust the height of the drilling assembly 51. Once in position, the hydraulic cylinders 511 in the opposing drilling assemblies 51 on both sides are activated, pushing the drilling motor 513 and the drill bit 514 closer to the wheel rim. The drilling motor 513 starts, driving the drill bit 514 to drill holes at the opposing positions on both sides of the wheel rim. When drilling at the wheel rim clamping position, the moving plate 62 compresses the spring 61 to avoid the drill bit when it contacts the moving plate 62. After completing one round of drilling, the intermittent rotation mechanism 2 rotates the turntable 3, moving the un-drilled portion to the opposite position of the drilling mechanism 5 before stopping. The drilling operation is then repeated.
[0026] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
