Description

The present invention relates to a device for mounting wheel stickers for vehicles in mechanical engineering.

Conventionally, when a decorative sticker is attached to a wheel of a vehicle and/or a motorcycle, a skilled worker estimates an accurate and beautiful attachment position as specified by a designer and attaches the sticker. However, such a method requires the use of skilled and experienced workers to reduce misapplication of the sticker to the wheel rim. Such limitations lead to inefficient, time-consuming and resource-intensive operations, which is why sticker attachment devices for vehicles have been devised. This effectively reduces the time and resources required to install the sticker and can provide the accuracy the designer envisioned.
In the past, there is an invention described in Patent No. US9296252B2 as a patented invention. An inventor named Robert Rolph Masecar of Holly Springs, North Carolina (USA) invented a device with a similar purpose to this invention.

U.S. Pat. No. 9,296,252

However, there are limits for industrial use, and the installation distance between the sticker and the reel cannot be evenly controlled, requiring the skill and experience of the sticker installer.

The sticker mounting device according to the present invention is
a device for holding a tool on a shaft,
It has three distinctive devices: a device for controlling the distance between the axle and the rim of the wheel; and a device for attaching stickers to the rim of the wheel.

The device that holds the tool on the shaft is expandable, made of cylindrical PLA (polylactic acid) plastic bound by a composite rubber ring fitted with a conical base that controls vertical expansion. The device that controls the expansion consists of an opening and closing device, a grooved shoulder that supports the device, ball bearings, and a device that controls the movement of the truncated cone.

The device that controls the distance between the axle and the circumference of the wheel consists of a frame made of PLA (polylactic acid) plastic with two ends. A holding tool is attached to one end and the other end can be directionally controlled by a handle to attach the sticker to the periphery of the wheel.

The device for attaching the sticker to the periphery of the wheel has a main frame made of PLA plastic, has a channel for attaching the sticker, and is lined with felt to prevent the sticker from being scratched. A ball bearing covered with a silicon pipe is attached to the contact part with the rim of the wheel so that it does not come into direct contact with the rim. The ball bearings are covered with silicone, which acts as a press and holds the sticker firmly to the wheel rim. On the other hand, the side of the device is fitted with a device for holding the sticker stationary during application. Embedded at the top of the sticker mounting channel is a magnetic hinge for convenient mounting and a directional control handle for the installer to easily manipulate the movement of the device.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is an object of the present invention to provide a wheel sticker device that can work accurately, quickly and efficiently without damaging the wheel of a vehicle and/or a motorcycle, thereby reducing operator errors. is.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a vehicle sticker device based on a pivot model. FIG. 2 shows an exploded view and components of the sticker device for each pivot model.

FIG. 1 shows the appearance of a vehicle sticker applicator according to a pivotal model, and FIG. 2 is a view according to a pivotal model showing the frame and internal components of a vehicle sticker applicator made of preformed PLA plastic. .

The application device consists of a tool holder and a shaft. When the tool holder is adjusted to open and close in the closed position, the control set expands and pulls on the conical control base, allowing the cylinder to lift and expand laterally. The composite rubber ring can hold the device down so that it cannot be removed, but firmly secures the device in the wheel channel to prevent it from moving in the direction of rotation of the installer.

The device that controls the distance between the axle and the periphery of the wheel acts as a labor-saving lever, so that the installer does not need to press again and is fatigue-free. A framework is used to control the distance between the shaft and the periphery of the wheel so that the mounting range is even each time, and to hold the tool to the shaft, together with a device for attaching the sticker to the periphery of the wheel together.

The wheel rim sticker attachment device acts as a feeder to ensure that the sticker is applied smoothly to the wheel rim and bubble-free. Movement of the workpiece can cause the sticker to shift from where the designer intended. The device is attached with felt to prevent damage to the sticker. The ball bearings are covered by a silicone pipe on the bottom, which helps the device move conveniently and keeps the sticker tightly pressed against the rim of the wheel. The device is also equipped with a work channel lid that supports the sticker to prevent it from turning inside out during work, and a device that holds the sticker in the device when it is applied. ing.

Verification of effectiveness and efficiency

The effectiveness-efficiency of the device for attaching the sticker to the rim of the wheel was tested by testing the effectiveness-efficiency in the following four tasks.

1. Is there a deviation between the edge of the sticker and the customer specified start point (A) to end point (B)?
2. If there is a twist range and an end point (B) within the customer specified range, are there twists on both ends of the sticker from the start point (A)?
3. Inspect the QC appearance of the applied sticker and judge whether it exceeds the standards set by the customer based on the following three conditions.
3.1 The installed sticker must not extend beyond the circumference of the wheel.
3.2 No visible air bubbles.
3.3 Shall be mounted centrally on the wheel and shall not be clearly off-centered or tilted to one side.
4. Measure the average cycle time for sticker installation for each installer.
