[0022] 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.

[0023] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a technical solution: a hub vacuum suction cup type transport device, including a lifting platform 1 and a base 10. The lifting platform 1 has a fixing mechanism inside, which includes a gear 2, a rack 3, a clamping plate 4, a pipe connector 5, a spherical shaft 6, a soft suction cup 7, a flexible hose 8, and a first motor 9. The side end of the gear 2 is rotatably connected to the lifting platform 1, and the outer circumference of the gear 2 is equal to the inner circumference of the lifting platform 1. The rack 3 meshes with the gear 2, and the rack 3 is adapted to the gear 2. The lower end of the rack 3 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 4. The surface of the clamping plate 4 is slidably connected to the lifting platform 1, and the clamping plate 4 is adapted to the lifting platform 1. The surface of the pipe connector 5 is fixedly connected to the clamping plate 4. The spherical shaft... The surface of the 6 is in contact with the pipe connector 5, the spherical shaft 6 is adapted to the pipe connector 5, the side end of the soft suction cup 7 of the hub vacuum suction cup type handling device is fixedly connected to the spherical shaft 6, the soft suction cup 7 of the hub vacuum suction cup type handling device is connected to the pipe connector 5 through the spherical shaft 6, and the inside of the hose 8 of the hub vacuum suction cup type handling device is connected to the pipe connector 5. When the lifting platform 1 moves to the hub, the rack 3 rotates and drives the rack 3 to move, so that the two clamps 4 move inward from both sides of the hub. When the soft suction cup 7 contacts the surface of the hub, the soft suction cup 7 rotates on the pipe connector 5 with the spherical shaft 6 as the center, so as to fit the fixed part more closely. Then, air is drawn through the hose 8, and the hub is fixed by vacuum adsorption. This handling method avoids the crushing and scratching that may be caused by direct mechanical clamping, and adopts a multi-point adsorption and fixation that fits better with different hub curvatures. It is not easy to slip and avoids the possibility of the hub falling off during handling, thus avoiding damage.

[0024] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown: The surface of the first motor 9 of the hub vacuum suction cup type conveying device is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 1. The output end of the first motor 9 of the hub vacuum suction cup type conveying device is fixedly connected to the gear 2. When the first motor 9 is started, the gear 2 can be driven to rotate inside the lifting platform 1.

[0025] like Figure 1 - Figure 4As shown: A support column 11 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the base 10 of the hub vacuum suction cup type transport device. A second motor 12 is fixedly connected inside the support column 11. A rotating arm 13 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 12. The lower end of the rotating arm 13 is rotatably connected to the support column 11. The rotating arm 13 is adapted to the support column 11. When the second motor 12 is started, the rotating arm 13 can be driven to rotate on the support column 11 through the output end of the second motor 12, thereby adjusting the angle during hub transportation.

[0026] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown: A third motor 14 is fixedly connected inside the rotating arm 13 of the hub vacuum suction cup transport device. A lead screw 15 is fixedly connected to the output end of the third motor 14. The end of the lead screw 15 is rotatably connected to the rotating arm 13. The outer circumference of the lead screw 15 is equal to the inner circumference of the rotating arm 13. A slide 16 is threadedly connected to the surface of the lead screw 15. The lead screw 15 and the slide 16 are adapted to each other. The surface of the slide 16 is slidably connected to the rotating arm 13. Starting the third motor 14 can drive the lead screw 15 to rotate, so that the slide 16 slides along the inner wall of the rotating arm 13 under the constraint of the lead screw 15 and the rotating arm 13, thereby adjusting the linear movement position during hub transportation.

[0027] like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown: The lower end of the wheel hub vacuum suction cup type transport device slide 16 is fixedly connected to an electric telescopic rod 17. The output end of the electric telescopic rod 17 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 1. When the slide 16 is started, the height of the lifting platform 1 can be adjusted according to the wheel hub landing point and the required landing point.

[0028] like Figure 1 - Figure 2 As shown: The surface of the lifting platform 1 of the hub vacuum suction cup type transport device is provided with a sliding groove 18. The lifting platform 1 of the hub vacuum suction cup type transport device is slidably connected to a guide rod 19 through the sliding groove 18. The outer circumference of the sliding groove 18 is equal to the inner circumference of the guide rod 19. The lower end of the guide rod 19 of the hub vacuum suction cup type transport device is fixedly connected to a buffer plate 20. When the buffer plate 20 contacts the hub, it can slide upward on the lifting platform 1 along the sliding groove 18 through the guide rod 19.

[0029] like Figure 1 - Figure 2As shown: A spring 21 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the buffer plate 20 of the hub vacuum suction cup type transport device. The fixed end of the spring 21 is fixedly connected to the lifting platform 1. When the device contacts the hub from the top, the compression spring 21 can buffer the impact and prevent the hub from directly contacting the device, thus avoiding scratches and other damage to the contact surface after impact.

[0030] Working principle: like Figure 1 - Figure 4 As shown: In use: When the lifting platform 1 moves onto the hub, the rack 3 rotates, causing the rack 3 to move, which in turn causes the two clamping plates 4 to move inward from both sides of the hub. When the soft suction cup 7 contacts the surface of the hub, the soft suction cup 7 rotates on the pipe connector 5 around the spherical shaft 6 to better fit the fixed part. Then, air is drawn through the hose 8, and the hub is fixed by vacuum adsorption. This handling method avoids the crushing and scratching that may be caused by direct mechanical clamping. Moreover, the multi-point method better fits the adsorption and fixation of different hub surfaces, making it less prone to slippage and avoiding the possibility of the hub falling off during handling, which would cause damage. Depending on the size of the hub, the height of the device's fixing point on the hub is also different. Thus, when the buffer plate 20 contacts the hub from the top, the compression spring 21 causes the buffer plate 20 to move upward along the slide groove 18 while providing cushioning, avoiding direct contact between the hub and the device, which would cause scratches and other damage to the contact surface after impact.
