Adjustable Wheel Deburring Device for Mixed-Line Production
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the machining process of aluminum alloy wheels, burrs are inevitably generated in the back cavity and front, requiring an automated deburring device that can adjust its brush shape to accommodate different wheel sizes and shapes, as mixed-line production affects the subsequent coating process.
Innovation Solution
An adjustable wheel deburring device with a complex system of servo motors, cylinders, and guiding mechanisms that allows the brush belt to adjust its shape and position to match the wheel back cavity, utilizing a combination of lifting, translating, and rotating systems to remove burrs from both the back and front of the wheel.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed brush configuration is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to different wheel sizes and shapes in mixed-line production
Solution Approach 1:
The brush belt is made adjustable through multiple servo motors that control its position, shape, and orientation dynamically. The lower servo motors adjust the brush belt's position and shape to match different wheel back cavity configurations, while upper servo motors adjust the wheel's position and attitude, enabling the system to adapt to various wheel sizes and shapes in mixed-line production.
Solution Approach 2:
The deburring device is designed with universal adaptability to process different wheel types (13-inch to 20-inch aluminum alloy wheels) using the same equipment. The adjustable brush belt configuration and multi-degree-of-freedom adjustment mechanisms allow one device to perform multiple deburring tasks across various wheel specifications.
2Extent of automation
If manual brush adjustment is used, then the device structure is simple, but automation level and production efficiency are low
Solution Approach 1:
The system automatically adjusts the brush belt configuration and wheel positioning through servo motor control without requiring manual intervention. The lower servo motors automatically adjust the brush belt to match the wheel back cavity shape, while upper servo motors automatically position and orient the wheel, enabling fully automated deburring operation.
Solution Approach 2:
The system incorporates feedback control through servo motors that can sense and adjust the brush belt position and wheel attitude in real-time. This closed-loop control ensures accurate alignment between the brush belt and wheel back cavity, maintaining high automation while achieving precise deburring results.
3Reliability
If burrs are not removed, then the production process is fast, but the coating effect is seriously affected
Solution Approach 1:
The device performs deburring as a preliminary operation before coating. By removing burrs from the wheel back cavity and front surface before the coating process, the system ensures that subsequent coating operations produce high-quality results without defects, while maintaining continuous production flow.
