Figure 1 is a schematic plan view of the rim manufacturing apparatus of this embodiment.

As shown in fig. 1, the rim manufacturing apparatus 100 includes a plurality of rim processing devices including a rounding machine 101, a spinning machine 102, an expansion machine 103, a shaping machine 104, a pressure detector 105, a visual detector 106, and a punch 107, a conveyor 110, and a rim production industrial control unit 120.

The circle expanding machine 101 is used for expanding a circle of the steel ring, expanding the steel ring to a certain size in a centrifugal mode, and enabling the steel ring to have better roundness so as to facilitate subsequent processing. In this embodiment, the circle expander 101 is a vertical circle expander, and its model is the servo hydraulic pressure 60T. The steel ring is placed in a vertical state (i.e. the central axis is perpendicular to the vertical direction) in a rounding machine 101 for processing.

After rounding, the steel ring is still basically in a ring-shaped structure, but is enlarged by a certain size, as shown in fig. 4 (c).

The spinning machine 102 is used for rotating the steel ring after the expansion at a high speed and performing compression molding on the steel ring in the rotating process, so that the steel ring has an installation structure matched with the inner ring of the tire. In this embodiment, the spinning machine 102 is a vertical spinning machine, and its model is the servo hydraulic pressure 100T.

As shown in fig. 4 (d), after spinning, a first concave portion which is annular and concave radially and a second concave portion which is annular and concave radially further from the middle of the first concave portion are formed on the steel ring, so that the steel ring can be embedded with the inner ring structure of the tire.

The expanding machine 103 is used for expanding and sizing the spun steel rings to expand the steel rings to a specified size, so that the process size of the formed rim can meet the preset size requirement. An expansion die with a specified size is placed in the expansion machine 103, and the expansion machine 103 rotates the steel ring to the specified size through the expansion die. In this embodiment, the expander 103 is a vertical rim expander, and its model is a servo hydraulic pressure of 60T.
