Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of aluminum wheel hub cleaning technology, specifically a multi-angle cleaning device for aluminum wheel hubs. Background Technology
[0002] In the automotive manufacturing, repair, and detailing industries, aluminum wheels are crucial exterior and functional components of automobiles. The cleanliness of their surface directly impacts not only the overall aesthetics of the vehicle but also its lifespan. During manufacturing, aluminum wheels are prone to accumulating impurities such as cutting fluid, metal shavings, and oil. In daily use, they also accumulate dust, mud, and road stains. Without timely and effective cleaning, these impurities gradually corrode the wheel surface, leading to oxidation, coating peeling, and ultimately affecting the wheel's structural strength and performance. Therefore, efficient and thorough cleaning of aluminum wheels is an indispensable process in the automotive industry.
[0003] Currently, there are various devices available on the market for cleaning aluminum wheel hubs. Most of these devices use a fixed cleaning structure and cannot achieve flexible adjustments at multiple angles and positions. Specifically, existing aluminum wheel hub cleaning devices have the following significant drawbacks:
[0004] The existing cleaning devices have significant limitations in terms of cleaning angle. The cleaning components (such as spray heads and brushes) can often only be directed towards specific areas of the aluminum wheel hub, failing to clean certain parts. These areas are difficult for the cleaning components to reach, and the resulting accumulation of impurities can accelerate corrosion and damage to the aluminum wheel hub. This also affects the overall cleaning effect and fails to meet high-standard cleaning requirements. Furthermore, the cleaning position adjustment lacks flexibility. Different specifications and models of aluminum wheel hubs vary significantly in size, while the positions of the cleaning components in existing cleaning devices are mostly fixed, making it difficult to adapt to the specific specifications of the aluminum wheel hub. This increases the workload of cleaning, significantly prolongs the cleaning operation time, and reduces overall cleaning efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, a multi-angle cleaning device for aluminum wheel hubs is proposed to address the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] To address the problems mentioned in the background art, this utility model provides a multi-angle cleaning device for aluminum wheel hubs.

[0025] 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.
[0026] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model provides a multi-angle cleaning device for aluminum wheel hubs, including an operating table 1;
[0027] The surface of the operating table 1 is equipped with a multi-angle cleaning assembly 2. The multi-angle cleaning assembly 2 includes a hub frame 21 installed on the upper surface of the operating table 1, a bracket 22 installed on the surface of the operating table 1, a rotating frame 23 for multi-angle cleaning, a drive block 24, a water spray pipe 25, an outer ring spray pipe 26, and a water tank 27.
[0028] The rotating frame 23 is set on the lower surface of the support 22. Two drive blocks 24 are symmetrically slidably connected in the grooves opened on the surface of the rotating frame 23. The water spray pipe 25 is installed on the inner side of the drive block 24. The outer ring spray pipe 26 is detachably connected to the lower surface of the drive block 24. The water tank 27 is installed on the outer side of the drive block 24. The combination of the rotating frame 23, the water spray pipe 25, and the outer ring spray pipe 26 changes the existing single spray or brush cleaning method. It can simultaneously cover the inner spokes and outer edge of the aluminum wheel hub, solving the problem that the existing device has a fixed cleaning position and cannot adapt to wheel hubs of different specifications. It lays the structural foundation for multi-angle and multi-position cleaning, and performs multi-angle adjustable cleaning treatment on the wheel hub, which greatly improves the cleaning effect.
[0029] The drive block 24 has a main tube 28 installed inside, and a branch tube 29 is installed on the bottom surface of the main tube 28. The branch tube 29 is inserted into the outer ring nozzle 26. The main tube 28 is connected to the water spray pipe 25. The main tube 28 is directly connected to the water spray pipe 25. The branch tube 29 is inserted into the outer ring nozzle 26, forming an integrated liquid passage of water tank 27, main tube 28, water spray pipe 25 and outer ring nozzle 26. There is no need to set up a separate water tank 27 or pipeline for water spray pipe 25 and outer ring nozzle 26, which simplifies the device structure. At the same time, it ensures that the two nozzles receive liquid supply synchronously and avoids the problem of asynchronous liquid supply caused by independent pipelines.
[0030] A rubber plug is inserted inside the branch pipe 29. The rubber plug has elastic deformation properties. When inserted into the branch pipe 29, it completely blocks the path of liquid leakage from the branch pipe 29. This allows the branch pipe 29 to be sealed after the outer side of the wheel hub is cleaned, reducing water waste.
[0031] A drive motor 210 is mounted on the upper surface of the bracket 22. The output end of the drive motor 210 passes through the bracket 22 and is connected to the rotating frame 23. The output end of the drive motor 210 directly drives the rotating frame 23 to rotate, which can drive the water spray pipe 25 and the outer ring spray pipe 26 to rotate continuously around the aluminum hub, reducing manual operation and improving cleaning efficiency.
[0032] The surface of the rotating frame 23 is equipped with a drive adjustment assembly 3, which includes a bidirectional lead screw 31 threadedly connected to a threaded hole in the surface of the drive block 24, a guide rod 32 slidably connected to a through hole in the surface of the drive block 24, and a servo motor 33 for driving.
[0033] Both ends of the bidirectional lead screw 31 pass through the drive block 24 and are rotatably connected in the groove opened on the surface of the rotating frame 23. Both ends of the guide rod 32 pass through the drive block 24 and are installed in the groove opened on the surface of the rotating frame 23. The bidirectional lead screw 31, the guide rod 32 and the servo motor 33 provide power and guidance for the position adjustment of the cleaning components, replacing the existing manual adjustment of the cleaning components, reducing labor costs and operational errors, and improving the feasibility of industrial batch cleaning.
[0034] The servo motor 33 is mounted on the surface of the rotating frame 23, and the output end of the servo motor 33 passes through the rotating frame 23 and is connected to the bidirectional lead screw 31. It can precisely control the rotation angle of the bidirectional lead screw 31, thereby realizing the precise adjustment of the sliding distance of the drive block 24 and meeting the automatic adaptation requirements of different specifications of wheel hubs.
[0035] Among them, the structures such as the bidirectional lead screw 31, the drive motor 210 and the servo motor 33 are existing technologies, and their working principles are well-known technologies. The appropriate model is selected according to the actual use.
[0036] Working principle and process: Place the aluminum wheel hub to be cleaned stably on the wheel hub frame 21 on the upper surface of the operating table 1, ensuring that the center of the aluminum wheel hub is aligned with the wheel hub frame 21 to avoid displacement during the cleaning process; at the same time, check the level of cleaning agent or clean water in the water tank 27, confirm that the water spray pipe 25 and the outer ring spray pipe 26 are not blocked, and that the wiring of the drive motor 210 and the servo motor 33 is normal. Select the appropriate outer ring spray pipe 26 and detachably connect it to the lower surface of the drive block 24, ensuring that the outer ring spray pipe 26 is precisely inserted into the branch pipe 29 inside the drive block 24; at this time, the main pipe 28 and the water spray pipe 25 maintain the preset conductive state, forming a complete liquid passage of water tank 27, main pipe 28, water spray pipe 25, branch pipe 29, and outer ring spray pipe 26;
[0037] Start the servo motor 33, and its output end drives the bidirectional lead screw 31 to rotate in the groove on the surface of the rotating frame 23. Since the drive block 24 is threadedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 31 through the threaded hole and slidably connected to the guide rod 32 through the through hole, the rotation of the bidirectional lead screw 31 will be converted into the symmetrical sliding (closer or farther) of the two drive blocks 24 along the guide rod 32 until the inner side of the water spray pipe 25 matches the spacing of the aluminum wheel hub spokes and the outer ring spray pipe 26 matches the outer side of the aluminum wheel hub. Then, turn off the servo motor 33 to complete the locking of the position of the drive block 24.
[0038] The drive motor 210 on the upper surface of the start bracket 22 drives the rotating frame 23 to rotate around the rotation axis on the lower surface of the bracket 22. The pump in the water tank 27 is turned on, and the cleaning agent or clean water is diverted through the main pipe 28 to the spray pipe 25 and the branch pipe 29. The spray pipe 25 sprays high-pressure water into the inner spokes and gaps of the aluminum wheel hub, and the outer ring spray pipe 26 sprays annular water into the outer edge and sealing surface of the aluminum wheel hub. At the same time, the rotating frame 23 rotates continuously at a preset angular velocity to achieve 360° coverage of the spray pipe 25 and the outer ring spray pipe 26 around the aluminum wheel hub, ensuring that the front, sides and hidden grooves of the aluminum wheel hub can be washed by the water flow.
[0039] After the outer rim of the wheel hub is cleaned, the outer rim spray pipe 26 is removed, and then a rubber plug is inserted into the inside of the branch pipe 29 to seal the branch pipe 29. At this time, the water spray pipe 25 continues to clean the wheel hub. The outer rim spray pipe 26 can be installed by bolts or clips, depending on the actual situation.
[0040] Once the cleaning time reaches the preset value, turn off the pump body of water tank 27 to stop spraying liquid, then turn off the drive motor 210 to reset the rotating frame 23 to the initial angle. After the water on the surface of the aluminum wheel hub has drained, remove it from the wheel hub frame 21, reset the two drive blocks 24 to both ends of the sliding groove of the rotating frame 23, turn off all power, and complete a single cleaning operation.
[0041] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
