Abstract

The invention discloses a wheel cleaning and blowing device, which is composed of four systems: a wheel positioning system, which completes initial positioning of a wheel on a roller bed and finds the position of a valve hole; a wheel advancing and dry-wet conversion system, in which the wheel advances while rotating, thus completing double-station dry-wet conversion of the wheel; a high-pressure water cleaning system, which is matched with the advancing rotating wheel to clean the wheel; and a compressed air blowing system, which is matched with the advancing rotating wheel to blow the wheel uniformly. The invention simultaneously discloses a wheel cleaning and blowing method. By adopting the device and the method, the wheel moves forward all the time during cleaning and blowing, the cycle is short, the efficiency is high, cleaning and blowing are integrated, and dry-wet separation is realized.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wheel cleaning and blowing device, being composed of a frame, a lower servo motor, a bearing seat, a shaft, a bearing, a rotating disk, guide rails, a sliding table I, a sliding table II, a gear rack, an upper servo motor, a coupling, a servo motor I, a turntable I, an electric cylinder I, guide posts, a servo motor II, a turntable II, an electric cylinder II, flange plates, central posts, bolt hole posts, a concave support plate, positioning guide rails, a clamping cylinder, servo motors III, a left sliding plate, a positioning gear rack, a right sliding plate, positioning wheels, a vision sensor, a high-pressure water tank, a step water spray rack, nozzles, an air compressor, a step blowing rack, air outlets and a dry-wet separation plate; wherein the electric cylinder I is fixed on the turntable I, the output end thereof is connected with a flange plate to control the flange plate under the guidance of a guide post to ascend and descend, and this is a left station; the structure on the sliding table II is completely same as that on the sliding table I, the servo motor II is mounted on the sliding table II, and the output end thereof is connected with the turntable II to control the turntable II to rotate; the electric cylinder II is fixed on the turntable II, the output end thereof is connected with a flange plate to control the flange plate under the guidance of a guide post to ascend and descend, and this is a right station.

2. The wheel cleaning and blowing device according to claim 1 , wherein in the initial state, the flange plate on the sliding table I is at a preset low position, and the flange plate on the sliding table II is at a preset high position.
