Background technique:

The forming process of automobile aluminum alloy wheel hub mainly includes: gravity casting, low pressure casting and forging process. The casting process is divided into two types: gravity casting and low pressure casting. At present, low pressure casting and metallic gravity casting are widely used at home and abroad.

However, the wheels using the casting process are heavier in weight, low in strength, and poor in mechanical properties. The aluminum alloy wheels produced by forging technology have the highest cost, the technology is complicated, and the forging process is extremely costly. It can only be used in the high-end market. Impossible to popularize.

The spinning part moves synchronously behind the first spinning roller and compresses and stretches the rim again; if there are more than three spinning rollers, they follow the last spinning roller in turn, and gradually move through the spinning rollers. Reduce the thickness of the rim of the spinning blank;

⑤After the first spinning roller completes one stroke, it leaves the surface of the spinning blank rim and returns to the initial position for secondary spinning or preparation for processing the next spinning blank; the second spinning roller and subsequent spinning The pressing roller repeats the action of the first spinning roller until the rim is formed;

6. There are multiple spinning rollers, which reduces the number of reciprocation of the spinning roller, improves production efficiency, and reduces the fire heat preservation time of the fire spray device;

7. The spinning roller forms an acute angle with the rim surface. The pressure of the spinning roller is divided into horizontal component force and vertical component force of the rim surface. The horizontal component force pushes the rim to extend, and the vertical component force makes the rim more compact and has high structural strength.
