After the wheel is pre-positioned, the positioning columns are reset, the jacking cylinder is started to drive the support column to move up, and the support column can jack the wheel after contacting a flange face of the wheel, so that the inner rim of the wheel leaves the roller bed.
The upper cylinder is fixed above the frame, the output end of the upper cylinder is connected with the mobile platform, and the upper cylinder can control the mobile platform to move up and down under the guidance of the four upper guide posts. The servo motor is fixed on the mobile platform via a mounting rack, the output end of the servo motor is connected with the rotating table, the clamping guide rail is fixed on the rotating table, and the left sliding table and the right sliding table are symmetrically mounted on the clamping guide rail and connected with each other via the gear rack II. The clamping cylinder is fixed on the rotating table, the output end of the clamping cylinder is connected with the right sliding table, the four clamping arms are symmetrically mounted on the left sliding table and the right sliding table, and a clamping jaw is mounted at the tail end of each clamping arm.

Since the inner rim of the wheel and the flange face of the wheel are machined on a first-procedure lathe, high-precision positioning of the wheel at the moment is realized before detection.

When the flange of the wheel is concave, the inner ring of the flange face is low, and the outer ring is high. When the detection bar I, the detection bar II, the detection bar III and the detection bar IV which have equal height simultaneously approach the flange face, the detection bar III and the detection bar IV receive signals from the piezoelectric sensors first due to the high outer ring, then the detection bar I and the detection bar II receive signals from the piezoelectric sensors due to the low inner ring, and the flange of the wheel is judged to be concave in such a way that the time when the detection bar I and the detection bar II receive signals is later than the time when the detection bar III and the detection bar IV receive signals.

After multiple times of redetection, when all the detection results are concave, the flange face of the wheel is judged to be concave, otherwise, the flange face of the wheel is convex.
