Abstract

A wheel logo imprinting device includes a wheel feeding system, a position identification system, a wheel turning system, a logo imprinting system, a station switching system, a logo drying system and a wheel discharging system. The device can be used for continuous production of assembly lines, can realize multi-directional, multi-angle and multi-number imprinting of personalized logos, orderly connects feeding, imprinting, drying and discharging through a reasonable process layout, and integrates imprinting and drying by using double stations so as to greatly improve the production efficiency and shorten the production cycle.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A wheel logo imprinting device, comprising a frame, a first jacking cylinder, first feed guide pillars, a first support frame, a first feed platform, an air pump, a first positioning column, guide rails, a gear rack, a left sliding table, a right sliding table, a clamping cylinder, positioning shafts, positioning wheels, a support, a first servo motor, a rotary table, a second servo motor, a third servo motor, a first manipulator, a second manipulator, roller driven motors, rollers, first upper cylinders, first upper guide pillars, a first upper platform, a visual identifier, second upper cylinders, second upper guide pillars, a second upper platform, a side cylinder side guide rails, a side platform, a feed cylinder, second feed guide pillars, a second feed platform, a paint supply tank, an elastic pressure head, a third upper cylinder, third upper guide pillars, an oven rack, oven heat sources, fourth upper cylinders, fourth upper guide pillars, sleeves, shields, a second jacking cylinder, discharge guide pillars, and a discharge platform,
wherein the guide rails are symmetrically mounted on the first support frame, the left sliding table and the right sliding table are symmetrically mounted on the guide rails and connected with one another by the gear rack, the clamping cylinder is connected to the right sliding table, each of the positioning wheels is mounted on a respective one of the left sliding table and the right sliding table via a respective one of the positioning shafts, the first jacking cylinder is connected to the first feed platform and controls the first feed platform under a guidance of the first feed guide pillars, the first positioning column is mounted on an upper end surface of the first feed platform, the air pump is mounted inside the first feed platform, the first upper cylinders are fixedly mounted on the frame and control the first upper platform to move under a guidance of the first upper guide pillars, the second servo motor is fixed on the rotary table and connected to the first manipulator, the side cylinder and the side guide rails are mounted on the second upper platform, the second upper cylinders control the second upper platform to move under a guidance of the second upper guide pillars, the side platform is mounted on the side guide rails, the side cylinder is connected to the side platform, the feed cylinder is mounted on the side platform and controls the second feed platform to move under a guidance of the second feed guide pillars, the paint supply tank is mounted on the second feed platform and the elastic pressure head is mounted at an output end of the paint supply tank, the first servo motor is mounted on the support and an output end of the first servo motor is connected to the rotary table, the second servo motor and the third servo motor are symmetrically mounted on the rotary table, an output end of the second servo motor is connected to the first manipulator to form a left station for imprinting of a wheel, an output end of the third servo motor is connected to the second manipulator to form a right station for drying of a logo, the third upper cylinder is mounted directly above the wheel at the right station, the third upper cylinder controls the oven rack to move under a guidance of the third upper guide pillars, the oven heat sources are uniformly distributed on the oven rack, the fourth upper cylinders are fixed at an upper part of the frame, the fourth upper cylinders control the shields to move under a guidance of the fourth upper guide pillars, the shields and the sleeves jointly form an oven outer wall, the second jacking cylinder is mounted on a right side of the first jacking cylinder, the second jacking cylinder controls the discharge platform to move under a guidance of the discharge guide pillars,
wherein the visual identifier is mounted on the first upper platform, and the first upper cylinders drive the first upper platform to move up and down to adjust a visual detection accuracy of the visual identifier; the roller driven motors are configured to drive the rollers to rotate so as to drive the wheel to rotate, and an imprinting position in a circumferential direction is configured to be found by detection of the visual identifier.
