Exchanging Double-Station Wheel Burr Removal Device
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Traditional burr removing devices are inefficient in removing burrs from aluminum alloy wheels, particularly at the roots and corners of flanges and rims, due to their inability to handle different linear velocities of inner and outer rings, resulting in suboptimal brushing efficiency and low production yield.
Innovation Solution
An exchanging double-station wheel burr removing device is designed with a complex system of rollers, motors, cylinders, and brushes that allows for simultaneous burr removal from both wheels, featuring a clamping drive system, rotating brushes, and a large brush that can move and rotate to effectively target burrs at various wheel sections.

1Productivity
If a traditional single-station burr brusher is used, then the device structure is simple, but the production efficiency is low because only one wheel can be processed at a time
Solution Approach 1:
The device is divided into two independent working stations (first working station and second working station), each capable of processing one wheel simultaneously. This segmentation allows parallel processing of multiple wheels, doubling the production efficiency while maintaining relatively simple individual station structures.
Solution Approach 2:
Two complete burr removal systems are merged into a single integrated device, sharing common components such as the control system, power supply, and structural frame. This merging achieves simultaneous processing of two wheels while avoiding the complexity of two completely separate devices.
2Manufacturing precision
If a large disc brush is used to directly brush burrs on the back cavity, then the device structure is simple, but the brushing effect at roots and corners of flanges and rims is poor due to greatly different linear velocities of inner and outer rings
Solution Approach 1:
The single large disc brush is segmented into multiple smaller brushes arranged in arrays. This segmentation allows each small brush to contact specific areas of the wheel, ensuring uniform velocity distribution and effective burr removal at roots and corners where a large brush fails to perform adequately.
Solution Approach 2:
Multiple small brushes are positioned to specifically target different local areas of the wheel, particularly the roots and corners of flanges and rims. Each brush provides localized brushing action tailored to the specific geometric requirements of different wheel sections, achieving uniform and high-quality burr removal across all areas.

AI summary
The present application discloses an exchanging double-station wheel burr removing device, comprising an exchange system, a left burr brushing system, clamping drive systems, a right burr brushing system. In practical use, the four V-shaped rollers lamp a wheel, the first servo motor drives the clamped wheel to rotate, and simultaneously, clamping drive system enables a right wheel to rotate; the drive motor drives the round brush and the outer ring brush to rotate; the first cylinders drive the rotating brushes to ascend, and the brushes in contact with the back cavity of the wheel can remove burrs; the first and second servo electric cylinder can drive the large brush to move, when the large brush are in contact with roots and corners of wheel flanges and rims, it can remove burrs; and the second servo motor can exchange the left burr brushing system with the right burr brushing system.
