Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Current burr removal methods for aluminum alloy wheels, particularly for the back cavity, are ineffective in removing burrs at the roots of flanges, the rim, and spokes, leading to suboptimal coating outcomes.
Innovation Solution
A burr removing device with adjustable brush angles and mechanisms to target specific areas, including servo motors, guide rails, and brush systems that can rotate and adjust to reach and remove burrs at the root of the rim, flanges, and spokes, ensuring thorough removal.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Manufacturing precision
If a large disc brush is used to brush burrs on the back cavity, then gentle wheels can be processed, but corner burrs at the roots of flanges and the rim cannot be removed thoroughly
Solution Approach 1:
The single large disc brush is divided into multiple brush assemblies (first brush assembly with brush I for spokes, second brush assembly with brush II for rim, third brush assembly with brush III for flanges). Each brush assembly independently targets specific areas, enabling thorough burr removal across all wheel regions while maintaining adaptability to different wheel sizes and shapes.
2Adaptability or versatility
If the brush angle is fixed, then the structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to different wheel sizes and shapes
Solution Approach 1:
The brush assemblies are made dynamically adjustable through servo motors (first servo motor, second servo motor, third servo motor) that control the angles of brushes I, II, and III. This dynamic adjustment capability allows the device to adapt to different wheel sizes and shapes while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure through modular design.
3Productivity
If manual brushing is used, then equipment complexity is low, but productivity and consistency are poor
Solution Approach 1:
The device implements automated burr removal through a programmable control system that coordinates multiple servo motors and brush assemblies. The system performs self-service by automatically positioning and operating the brushes according to pre-set parameters, eliminating manual intervention and significantly improving productivity and consistency while maintaining reasonable device complexity through integrated control.
