Variable Wheel Deburring Device for Mixed-Size Aluminum Alloy Wheels
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
In the machining process of aluminum alloy wheels, burrs often form at the wheel center hole, flange root corner, spoke edge, and rim corner, requiring timely removal to ensure a proper coating effect, and existing deburring devices struggle to adapt to varying wheel sizes and mixed-line production.
Innovation Solution
A variable size wheel deburring device is designed with a complex system of servo electric cylinders, pulleys, synchronous belts, and brush systems that allow for precise adjustment and rotation of brushes to remove burrs at multiple wheel locations, accommodating different wheel sizes through a combination of guiding posts, sleeves, and clamping mechanisms.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-size deburring device is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot adapt to wheels of different sizes in mixed-line production
Solution Approach 1:
The patent employs multiple adjustable components including servo electric cylinders, lifting plates, and guiding rails that enable dynamic repositioning of brush systems. The central brush assembly can be vertically adjusted along the wheel axis, while lateral brushes can be positioned radially, allowing the device to adapt to different wheel diameters and widths in mixed-line production
Solution Approach 2:
The deburring device integrates multiple brush systems (central brush, lateral brushes, and corner brushes) that can simultaneously or selectively operate on different portions of wheels of varying sizes. The adjustable positioning mechanisms allow a single device to universally handle multiple wheel types without requiring dedicated fixtures for each size
2Manufacturing precision
If the brush position is adjusted for different treatment portions, then the deburring effect is improved, but the adjustment mechanism becomes complex
Solution Approach 1:
The device divides the wheel surface into multiple treatment zones (center hole area, flange root corners, spoke edges, rim corners) and assigns dedicated brush systems to each zone. The central brush handles the center hole, lateral brushes handle the flange and spoke areas, and corner brushes handle the rim corners, allowing precise targeted deburring of each portion
Solution Approach 2:
The patent uses servo electric cylinders, lifting plates, and guiding rails as intermediary mechanisms to achieve precise brush positioning. These intermediaries translate control signals into accurate positional adjustments, enabling the brushes to reach specific treatment portions with high precision while maintaining a modular adjustment architecture

AI summary
The present invention discloses a variable size wheel deburring device, which is composed of a lower lifting system, a central brush driving system, a brush system I, a brush system II and a clamping driving system. When used, the servo electric cylinder II, through the guiding rail II, causes the left and right rollers to clamp the lower wheel rim of the wheel; and the servo motor I can achieve the rotation of the clamped wheel by the pulley I, the pulley II and the synchronous belt I. The device according to the present invention in use can not only realize the burr removal of the wheel center hole, the flange root corner, the spoke edge and the rim corner, but also can adapt to wheel types of different size.
