First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An on-line induction heating device for a wheel blank comprising a frame, a servo motor, guide posts I, guide sleeves I, a lower fixed plate, a lifting top plate, a bearing seat, a jacking cylinder, a piston connecting rod, a top cone, reset springs, radial positioning blocks, upper fixed plates, induction heating cylinders, connecting rods, double-head fastening nuts, fixed slide rails, mounting plates, outer protective jackets, induction coils, a displacement sensor I, a compression cylinder, a guide sleeve II, a guide post II, a gland, pressure sensors, asbestos, a displacement sensor II, water inlet pipes, water outlet pipes, a roller bed, transverse sliding tables, positioning cylinders, a supporting plate and lifting cylinders, wherein
the two lifting cylinders and the two guide sleeves I are fixed on the lower fixed plate, output ends of the lifting cylinders are articulated with a lower part of the lifting top plate, and the guide posts I matched with the guide sleeves I are fixed below the lifting top plate; the bearing seat is fixed above the lifting top plate, the servo motor is fixed below the lifting top plate, and an output end of the servo motor is connected with a shaft installed in the bearing seat;
a four jaw chuck jointly formed by the top cone, the reset springs, the radial positioning blocks, the positioning cylinders, the transverse sliding tables and the supporting plate is installed in the bearing seat via a bearing; the supporting plate is fixed at an upper end of the shaft, and the four transverse sliding tables matched with the top cone are installed above the supporting plate; the four reset springs are installed at a tail ends of the transverse sliding tables; the four radial positioning blocks are fixedly connected with levers of the positioning cylinders; the positioning cylinders penetrate the supporting plate and are installed on the transverse sliding tables, and the positions of the positioning cylinders are configured to be adjusted according to size of the wheel; the jacking cylinder realizes synchronous action of the four radial positioning blocks via motion of the piston connecting rod and the top cone;
the left and right induction heating cylinders are installed on the fixed sliding rails, the fixed slide rails are provided with hollow structures in the middle and are configured to move up and down, and the induction heating cylinders are configured to be adjusted according to the length of a wheel rim, so that the induction coils are opposite to a rim of the wheel blank; the two fixed slide rails are welded with the upper fixed plates together, and the upper fixed plates are fixed on the frame;
the two induction coils are respectively wound into semicircles and fixed by the semicircular outer protective jackets, the outer protective jackets are connected with the mounting plates, and the connected angles are configured to be changed to adapt to angle parallelism of the induction coils and the rim; connecting rods for connecting the mounting plates and the induction heating cylinders are fixed by the double-head fastening nuts; water inlet pipes and water outlet pipes for the induction coils are fixed on the mounting plates, and the induction coils are cooled by using deionized water;
the compression cylinder is installed at a top of the frame, the guide sleeve II is matched with the guide post II and installed below the top of the frame, and the guide post II is connected with an output rod of the compression cylinder and fixed with the gland;
the asbestos is installed below the gland, achieves a cushioning effect, and prevents a wheel edge of a hot blank from being crushed; the two pressure sensors are fixed below the gland;
the displacement sensor I and the displacement sensor II are respectively fixed on the frame, and used for positioning the induction coils and the wheel blank.
