Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of drilling tooling technology, specifically a pull-down drilling tooling for a wheel hub bearing unit. Background Technology

[0002] The pull-down drilling fixture for wheel hub bearing units is a specialized piece of equipment used for drilling wheel hub bearing units. It drives the drill bit through a pull-down mechanism to perform drilling operations, which can precisely control the drilling position and depth, improve processing accuracy and efficiency, and play an important role in the production and manufacturing of wheel hub bearing units.

[0003] Application No. 202320702404.X discloses a flywheel housing drilling fixture, which includes a moving component and a clamping component. The flywheel housing to be drilled is placed on the top surface of a chassis. The operator can then rotate a second rotating handle, causing a moving plate connected to the handle to rotate accordingly. This allows a double-threaded screw installed inside the chassis to rotate synchronously under the drive of a connecting rod. The two moving plates mounted on the double-threaded screw surface then move two clamping plates in opposite directions, thereby clamping and fixing the flywheel housing. Furthermore, the single-threaded screw can be rotated... This allows the movable block to move horizontally in a directional manner, thereby adjusting the horizontal position of the flywheel housing and moving the connecting plate horizontally so that the insert post disengages from the fixing slot. At this point, the rotating post can rotate horizontally at a certain angle. After rotation, the spring drives the insert post to install in the corresponding fixing slot to fix the rotating post. Therefore, it not only facilitates the operator to fix and disassemble the flywheel housing, but also allows for convenient and quick adjustment of the fixed position of the flywheel housing without first disassembling and adjusting it. Drilling holes can be made at different positions on its surface, thereby improving the practicality of the device.

[0004] The aforementioned device lacks an effective waste chip collection system during drilling, causing the waste chips generated during drilling to fly everywhere. This not only affects the cleanliness of the working environment but may also enter the moving parts of the tooling, leading to wear and reducing the tooling's service life and machining accuracy. At the same time, the flying waste chips also pose a safety hazard of scratching operators, affecting the safety and continuity of production. Therefore, we propose a wheel hub bearing unit pull-down drilling tooling. Utility Model Content

[0017] Please see Figure 1-4 A pull-down drilling fixture for a wheel hub bearing unit includes a support plate 1. A first cylinder 6 is fixedly connected to the top of the support plate 1, and a drilling fixture body 7 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first cylinder 6. A turntable 15 is provided on the support plate 1, and two sets of semi-circular chip collection covers 5 are provided on both sides of the support plate 1. A chip collection cylinder 10 is connected to the bottom of the support plate 1, and an annular chip discharge port 16 is provided at the top of the support plate 1. An installation assembly is provided between the semi-circular chip collection covers 5 and the support plate 1 to fix the semi-circular chip collection covers 5. The annular chip discharge port 16 is located between the semi-circular chip collection covers 5 and the chip collection cylinder 10, forming a key channel for waste chips to enter the chip collection cylinder 10 from the semi-circular chip collection covers 5. T-shaped grooves 2 in the installation assembly are opened on both sides of the support plate 1, and T-shaped blocks 3 are fixed to the bottom of the semi-circular chip collection covers 5. The shapes of the two match, so that the semi-circular chip collection covers 5 can slide along the T-shaped grooves 2. During installation, align the T-shaped block 3 of the semi-circular chip collection cover 5 with the T-shaped groove 2, insert it, and slide it into place. Fix the semi-circular chip collection cover 5 by tightening the bolt 4 set between the top of the support plate 1 and the T-shaped block 3. During disassembly, loosen the bolt 4 to slide the semi-circular chip collection cover 5 out of the T-shaped groove 2.

[0018] The annular chip discharge port 16 is located between the semi-circular chip collection cover 5 and the chip collection cylinder 10.

After the motor 12 is powered on, its output end drives the rotating rod 14 to rotate, and the turntable 15 fixed to the top of the rotating rod 14 rotates accordingly. After drilling is completed, the motor 12 is started, and the rotation of the turntable 15 generates centrifugal force, causing the residual waste chips on the turntable 15 to splash onto the inner wall of the semi-circular chip collection hood 5 under the action of centrifugal force. Then, the chips enter the chip collection cylinder 10 through the annular chip discharge port 16 and the inclined surface 17, completing the cleaning of residual chips.

[0020] The turntable 15 is fixedly connected to the two sides of the second cylinder 8, and the output end of the second cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped clamping block 9; when the second cylinder 8 is started, the second cylinder 8 drives the L-shaped clamping block 9 to clamp and fix the wheel hub bearing.

[0021] The bottom of the chip collection cylinder 10 is conical, and a sealing cover 11 is provided at the bottom of the conical bottom. The sealing cover 11 at the bottom of the conical bottom remains closed during the chip collection process to prevent chip leakage.
