Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automotive wheel hub clamping technology, specifically a quick clamping clamp for automotive wheel hubs. Background Technology
[0002] A car wheel hub is a cylindrical metal component that supports the tire from the inside. It is mounted on the axle in the center and is also called a steel rim or wheel. The wheel hub fixes the tire through the rim and is connected to the axle through the center hole. It needs to continuously bear the weight of the vehicle and evenly transfer the weight to the tire and finally distribute it to the road surface.
[0003] In the wheel hub processing, wheel hub clamps are needed to fix the wheel hub. For example, the pneumatic clamp for quick clamping of automobile wheel hubs proposed in authorization announcement number CN210524451U includes an automobile wheel hub and a clamp body. The clamp body includes a mounting plate, a precision T-screw, a lock nut, a precision angular contact bearing, grippers, a supporting needle roller bearing, a T-screw magnetic coupling, a motor magnetic coupling, and a pneumatic motor. During operation, it can drive the grippers to move synchronously, achieving quick clamping and loosening of the wheel hub.
[0004] However, the aforementioned wheel hub clamps can only clamp and loosen. During wheel hub processing, when it is necessary to process or inspect surfaces or holes at different angles of the wheel hub, the operator can only loosen the clamped wheel hub, adjust it to the target angle, and then re-clamp it. This method not only increases the number of operation steps and reduces work efficiency, but may also cause wheel hub positioning deviation due to repeated clamping, affecting the processing or inspection accuracy. To address the above problems, we provide a quick-clamping fixture for automotive wheel hubs to solve the aforementioned issues. Utility Model Content

[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] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the present invention, a quick clamping fixture for automobile wheel hubs includes a chassis 1, the chassis 1 having a plurality of mounting holes on its edge; a fixed cylinder 2 is fixedly connected to the upper end face of the chassis 1, a rotating cylinder 3 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the fixed cylinder 2, a hollow turntable 4 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating cylinder 3, and a connecting inclined surface of the hollow turntable 4 and the rotating cylinder 3 and the lower end of the circumferential surface of the fixed cylinder 2 are both provided with connecting holes;
[0027] Please see Figure 2 The fixed cylinder 2 is equipped with a drive assembly for driving the rotating cylinder 3 to rotate. The drive assembly includes a ring gear 16, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the rotating cylinder 3. A servo motor 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the chassis 1 inside the fixed cylinder 2. A motor gear 17 is installed at the output end of the servo motor 14, and the motor gear 17 meshes with the ring gear 16. During operation, the servo motor 14 drives the motor gear 17 to rotate, and the rotation of the motor gear 17 drives the ring gear 16 to rotate. The rotation of the ring gear 16 can drive the hollow turntable 4 to rotate, which in turn can drive the clamped wheel hub to rotate.
[0028] Please see Figures 2-3 The hollow turntable 4 has a hexagonal support plate 5 fixedly connected to its upper end face. The chassis 1 has rectangular sliding grooves 19 in the spaces of the hexagonal support plate 5. Sliding rods 18 are fixedly connected in the rectangular sliding grooves 19. L-shaped sliding blocks 10 are slidably connected to the sliding rods 18. The L-shaped sliding blocks 10 are slidably connected to the rectangular sliding grooves 19. A return spring 11 is provided between the sliding rods 18 and the side of the L-shaped sliding blocks 10 and the rectangular sliding grooves 19 near the middle of the hollow turntable 4. The hollow turntable 4 has a pushing component for pushing the L-shaped sliding blocks 10 to move towards the middle of the hollow turntable 4. The pushing component can drive the L-shaped sliding blocks 10 to move synchronously towards the center of the hollow turntable 4 when clamping the wheel hub, thereby driving the grippers 6 to move synchronously to clamp the wheel hub.
[0029] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 5The pushing assembly includes a limiting slide rod 12, which is fixedly connected to both sides of the upper surface inside the hollow turntable 4. A hexagonal push plate 9 is slidably connected between the two limiting slide rods 12. A connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the corner of each hexagonal push plate 9. The upper end of the connecting rod 15 is rotatably connected to the end of the L-shaped sliding block 10 near the middle of the hollow turntable 4. A cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the chassis 1 at the middle position of the fixed cylinder 2. The output end of the cylinder 8 is rotatably connected to the hexagonal push plate 9 by an adapter 13. The thickness of the hexagonal support plate 5 is greater than the thickness of the clamping plate 7. When clamping the wheel hub, the output end of the cylinder 8 moves to drive the hexagonal push plate 9 to move upward. The upward movement of the hexagonal push plate 9 drives the connecting rod 15. The movement of the connecting rod 15 drives the L-shaped sliding block 10 to move along the sliding rod 18, so that multiple L-shaped sliding blocks 10 move synchronously towards the center of the hollow turntable 4. Then, the L-shaped sliding block 10 drives the gripper 6 to fix the wheel hub.
[0030] Please see Figure 5 The adapter 13 includes two limiting plates 132, both of which are fixedly connected to the output end of the cylinder 8. The hexagonal push plate 9 has a clearance hole in the middle, through which the output end of the cylinder 8 passes. The limiting plates 132 are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the hexagonal push plate 9 at the output end of the cylinder 8. Thrust bearings 131 are installed between the limiting plates 132 and the hexagonal push plate 9. The thrust bearings 131 allow the output end of the cylinder 8 to be rotatably connected to the hexagonal push plate 9, so that the rotation of the hexagonal push plate 9 will not affect the cylinder 8. At the same time, the thrust bearings 131 can withstand the thrust, so that when the output end of the cylinder 8 moves, it can push the hexagonal push plate 9 to move up and down accordingly.
[0031] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 4 Each L-shaped sliding block 10 has a clamping assembly for fixing the wheel hub at its upper end. The clamping assembly includes a clamping plate 7, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the L-shaped sliding block 10. The clamping plate 7 has several adjustment holes 21. An inverted U-shaped sliding plate 20 is slidably connected to the clamping plate 7. A claw 6 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the inverted U-shaped sliding plate 20. The inverted U-shaped sliding plate 20 has two through holes that match the adjustment holes 21. A bolt 22 is installed between the through holes and the adjustment holes 21. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the claw 6, the bolt 22 can be removed first, and then the inverted U-shaped sliding plate 20 can be slid to adjust it. After adjusting it to a suitable position, the bolt 22 can be inserted between the through holes and the adjustment holes 21 to lock the position of the inverted U-shaped sliding plate 20.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-6The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When in use, the wheel hub to be clamped is placed on the hexagonal support plate 5. Then, the output end of the cylinder 8 drives the hexagonal push plate 9 to move upward. The upward movement of the hexagonal push plate 9 drives the connecting rod 15. The movement of the connecting rod 15 drives the L-shaped sliding block 10 to move along the sliding rod 18, so that multiple L-shaped sliding blocks 10 move synchronously towards the center of the hollow turntable 4. Then, the L-shaped sliding block 10 drives the gripper 6 to clamp the wheel hub. When the clamped wheel hub needs to be rotated, the servo motor 14 drives the motor gear 17 to rotate. The rotation of the motor gear 17 drives the ring gear 16 to rotate. The rotation of the ring gear 16 can drive the hollow turntable 4 to rotate, which in turn can drive the clamped wheel hub to rotate.
[0033] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one technical solution. This method of description is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
