Universal Vehicle Wheel Spraying Support Tool
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The existing vehicle wheel spraying tools are inadequate for supporting two-piece combination type wheels with varying pitch circle diameters, heights, and sizes, as they lack the necessary adjustability to ensure uniform spraying.
Innovation Solution
A universal spraying support tool composed of a base plate, rotary sleeves, adjustment rods, supporting pins, locking nuts, and a flange, allowing for adjustable positions and angles to accommodate different wheel sizes, enabling precise fitting and locking for consistent spraying.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a fixed-parameter support tool is used, then the structure is simple, but it cannot accommodate wheels with different pitch circle diameters, heights, and sizes
Solution Approach 1:
The support tool incorporates adjustable components including rotary sleeves that can rotate to change supporting angles, adjustment rods with threading for height adjustment, and sliding mechanisms for pitch circle diameter adjustment. These dynamic elements allow the tool to adapt to different wheel parameters while maintaining a relatively simple overall structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The invention changes key geometric parameters of the support tool through adjustable components: the pitch circle diameter is adjusted by moving rotary sleeves along the base plate, the supporting height is changed by extending or retracting adjustment rods, and the supporting angle is modified by rotating the rotary sleeves. This allows a single tool to handle multiple wheel specifications.
2Adaptability or versatility
If adjustable components are added to accommodate different wheel sizes, then the adaptability improves, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The support tool is designed as a universal device that can support various wheel types through a set of standardized adjustable components. The rotary sleeves, adjustment rods, and locking mechanisms work together in multiple configurations to accommodate different pitch circle diameters, heights, and angles, making the tool universally applicable rather than requiring separate tools for each wheel size.
Solution Approach 2:
The support tool is divided into independent functional modules: a base plate for positioning, rotary sleeves for angle and radius adjustment, adjustment rods for height control, and locking mechanisms for securing positions. Each module can be independently adjusted and locked, allowing complex adaptability through simple modular components rather than a monolithic complex structure.
3Manufacturing precision
If multiple adjustment mechanisms are used, then the precision of fitting different wheel parameters is improved, but the ease of operation decreases
Solution Approach 1:
The support tool incorporates pre-designed adjustment ranges and locking positions that are optimized for common wheel specifications. The rotary sleeves are pre-positioned at standard pitch circle diameters, and the adjustment rods have threading designed for quick height changes. This preliminary configuration reduces the cognitive load and time required for operators to achieve proper positioning while maintaining spraying precision.
