CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION

This application claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 201810351891.3, entitled ROLLER-TYPE WHEEL FLANGE SURFACE POWDER REMOVING DEVICE and filed on Apr. 19, 2018, which is incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.

FIELD OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to surface treatment, and specifically relates to a wheel flange surface treatment device.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

After the machining of a wheel, it is necessary to spay several layers of different types of powder, paint and other attachments for protection and decoration. Considering the assembly requirements of the wheel, the wheel flange flat surface is not allowed to carry any powder or paint, but the powder or paint is inevitably attached to the wheel flange flat surface during spraying or transport. At present, the attachments on the wheel flange flat surfaces are usually manually removed by workers, so that the labor cost is high, the consistency is unlikely to guarantee, and the treatment efficiency is low.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The objective of the present invention is to provide a roller-type wheel flange surface powder removing device, which improves the quality and efficiency of removing attachments from a wheel flange flat surface.

A roller-type wheel flange surface powder removing device includes upper bottom plates 1, cylinders I 2, limit discs 3, pressure blocks 4, a first bearing cover I 5, a first bearing I 6, a first gear I 7, a support shaft 8, a roller brush 9, a second bearing II 11, a second bearing cover II 12, a joint nut 13, first support plates I 14, a first motor I 15, struts I 16, a suction fan 17, a second motor II 18, a coupling 19, a second gear II 20, a lower bottom plate 21, second support plates II 22, a third gear III 23, a rack 24, guide pillars I 25, a sliding seat 26 and a motor I shield 27.

As shown in FIGS. 1-3, the four struts I 16 are uniformly distributed on the lower bottom plate 21, the upper bottom plates 1 are mounted on the four struts I 16, and the limit discs 3 are mounted on the upper bottom plates 1. The three cylinders I 2 are uniformly distributed and mounted on the upper bottom plates 1, the three pressure blocks 4 are respectively connected to the corresponding cylinders I 2 and the limit discs 3, and the two second support plates II 22 are symmetrically mounted on two sides of the lower bottom plate 21. The two guide pillars I 25 are mounted on the two second support plates II 22 through the sliding seat 26, and the rack 24 is mounted under the sliding seat 26 by bolt connection. The second motor II 18 is mounted on the lower base plate 21, the third gear III 23 is mounted at an output end of the second motor II 18, and the third gear III 23 is engaged with the rack 24, while the first motor 115 is mounted on the sliding seat 26, and the second gear II 20 is mounted at an output end of the first motor I 15 via the coupling 19. The motor I shield 27 encloses the first motor 115 and the coupling 19 therein and is mounted on the sliding seat 26. The two first support plates 14 are symmetrically mounted on two sides of the sliding seat 26. The first gear 17 is mounted on the left side of the support shaft 8, the first bearing 16 is sleeved on the left side of the support shaft 8 and mounted in a through hole of the left first support plate I 14, and the first bearing cover 15 is mounted on the left first support plate I 14 to restrict the axial movement of the support shaft 8. The roller brush 9 is mounted on the support shaft 8, the right side of the support shaft 8 is sleeved with the second bearing II 11 and mounted in a through hole of the right first support plate I 14, the second bearing cover II 12 is mounted on the right first support plate I 14 to restrict the axial movement of the support shaft 8, and the joint nut 13 of the suction fan 17 is mounted on the right side of the second bearing cover II 12.

In actual use, the corresponding roller brush 9 is replaced according to the size of a wheel 10 to be processed, and a manipulator places the wheel 10 at corresponding positions of the limit discs 3. The output ends of the cylinders I 2 extend to drive the pressure blocks 4 to press the wheel 10, and the second motor II 18 drives the third gear III 23 to rotate according to a certain rotation speed. The rack 24 moves at a certain speed under the drive of the third gear III 23, and the sliding seat 26 and the mechanism thereon reciprocate along with the rack 24 within the travel range of the guide pillars I 25. While the second motor II 18 starts working, the first motor I 15 drives the second gear II 20 to rotate, and the first gear I 7 transmits the rotation speed to the roller brush 9 through the support shaft 8 according to a certain transmission ratio. The roller brush 9 is driven by the third gear III 23 and the rack 24 while rotating with the support shaft 8. After the roller brush 9 reciprocates a few times on the flange flat surface of the wheel 10, the powder or paint on the flange flat surface of the wheel 10 is cleaned. At this time, the output ends of the cylinders I 2 are contracted, the pressure blocks 4 are expanded, and the manipulator clamps the wheel 10 to next process.

The step sizes of the limit discs respectively correspond to a plurality of wheels of different sizes, and each step size is 5 mm more than the diameter of the inner rim of the wheel, so that the device can adapt to more sizes of wheels, and the radial positioning error of the wheel can be covered by the size of the roller brush.

The guide pillars I ensure the stability of the sliding seat and the mechanism thereon during moving.

The pressure blocks are made of a soft material, which avoids pressure marks on the rim of the wheel due to too hard materials for the pressure blocks.

The roller brush is of a hollow structure, with brushes and vent holes being uniformly distributed on the outer surface thereof, and each vent hole acting as a suction port when the suction fan 17 starts to work, such that the dust around the holes is sucked away.

Part of the support shaft is a hollow shaft that acts as a conduit for dust and air circulation when the suction fan starts to work.

The transmission mechanism of the third gear III and the rack and the transmission mechanism of the first gear I and the second gear II have a simple transmission mode, which is suitable for operation in a dusty harsh environment.

The powder removing device provided by the present invention greatly improves the cleaning effect on the flange flat surface of the wheel and the production processing efficiency of the workshop, and avoids the influence of human factors such as the operation level of workers in the workshop on the cleaning effect and the production processing efficiency.

The four struts I 16 are uniformly distributed on the lower bottom plate 21, the upper bottom plates 1 are mounted on the four struts I 16, and the limit discs 3 are mounted on the upper bottom plates 1. The three cylinders I 2 are uniformly distributed and mounted on the upper bottom plates 1, and the three pressure blocks 4 are respectively connected to the corresponding cylinders I 2 and the limit discs 3, and the two second support plates II 22 are symmetrically mounted on two sides of the lower bottom plate 21. The two guide pillars I 25 are mounted on the two second support plates II 22 through the sliding seat 26, and the rack 24 is mounted under the sliding seat 26 by bolt connection. The second motor II 18 is mounted on the lower base plate 21, the third gear III 23 is mounted at an output end of the second motor II 18, and the third gear III 23 is engaged with the rack 24. The first motor I 15 is mounted on the sliding seat 26, and the second gear II 20 is mounted at an output end of the first motor I 15 via the coupling 19. The motor I shield 27 encloses the first motor I 15 and the coupling 19 therein and is mounted on the sliding seat 26. The two first support plates 14 are symmetrically mounted on two sides of the sliding seat 26. The first gear I 7 is mounted on the left side of the support shaft 8, the first bearing I 6 is sleeved on the left side of the support shaft 8 and mounted in a through hole of the left first support plate I 14, and the first bearing cover I 5 is mounted on the left first support plate I 14 to restrict the axial movement of the support shaft 8. The roller brush 9 is mounted on the support shaft 8, the right side of the support shaft 8 is sleeved with the second bearing II 11 and mounted in a through hole of the right first support plate I 14, the second bearing cover II 12 is mounted on the right first support plate I 14 to restrict the axial movement of the support shaft 8, and the joint nut 13 of the suction fan 17 is mounted on the right side of the second bearing cover II 12.

In actual use, the corresponding roller brush 9 is replaced according to the size of a wheel 10 to be processed, and a manipulator places the wheel 10 at corresponding positions of the limit discs 3. The output ends of the cylinders I 2 extend to drive the pressure blocks 4 to press the wheel 10, and the second motor II 18 drives the third gear III 23 to rotate according to a certain rotation speed. The rack 24 moves at a certain speed under the drive of the third gear III 23, and the sliding seat 26 and the mechanism thereon reciprocate along with the rack 24 within the travel range of the guide pillars I 25. While the second motor II 18 starts working, the first motor I 15 drives the second gear II 20 to rotate, and the first gear I 7 transmits the rotation speed to the roller brush 9 through the support shaft 8 according to a certain transmission ratio. The roller brush 9 is driven by the third gear III 23 and the rack 24 while rotating with the support shaft 8. After the roller brush 9 reciprocates a few times on the flange flat surface of the wheel 10, the powder or paint on the flange flat surface of the wheel 10 is cleaned. At this time, the output ends of the cylinders I 2 are contracted, the pressure blocks 4 are expanded, and the manipulator clamps the wheel 10 to next process.

In actual production, one wheel model is usually produced in at least one shift, and the roller brush 9 does not need to be replaced frequently, so that the workshop production processing has certain continuity, the auxiliary time is reduced and the production efficiency is improved.

After the roller brush 9 has brushed a certain number of wheels 10, the roller brush 9 itself may become contaminated with too much dust, so that the flange flat surface of the wheel 10 cannot be cleaned. Therefore, every time the roller brush 9 works a period of time, the suction fan 17 starts to work, and the dust on the surface of the roller brush 9 is sucked away by small holes of the roller brush 9 and a hollow portion of the support shaft 8.
