Description

How to remove burrs on bicycle hubs

The present invention is related to the hub of a bicycle; in particular, it refers to a method of deburring the hub.

The hub of a bicycle is used to fix the spokes of the wheel as the center of rotation of the wheel. The general way of making hubs is to use a CNC machining machine to process a workpiece to obtain the hub's rough embryo. There will be burrs on the edge of the hub's rough embryo. Therefore, it is necessary to deburr the rough embryo of the hub to remove the burrs on the edges and obtain the finished hub.

The customary deburring operation is to hold the rough embryo of the hub in hand, or hold the rough embryo of the hub with a jig, and then hold the jig. Then, the staff touched the grinding wheel of the grinder with the edge of the hub rough embryo, and moved the hub rough embryo according to the shape of the hub rough embryo, and removed the burrs on the edge with the grinding wheel rotating at high speed. Due to the manual deburring, different personnel have different proficiency in the deburring operation, resulting in the production capacity cannot be effectively improved. In addition, when personnel hold the rough hub of the grinder while holding the grinder, if the holding is unstable, the rough hub of the hub may fall off in the slightest, and the person may be injured from time to time.

Therefore, the conventional bicycle hub deburring operation is still not perfect and needs improvement.

In view of this, the object of the present invention is to provide a method for deburring a bicycle hub, which can identify the starting position of processing and perform deburring operations.

In order to achieve the above object, a tool holder device provided by the present invention includes the following steps:

A hub thick embryo is provided, the hub crude embryo has a plurality of spoke seats arranged along different radial directions of the hub crude embryo; the spoke seats include a positioning spoke seat, and the positioning spoke seat is provided with a positioning protrusion Piece;

Fix the hub rough embryo through a jig, and move the hub rough embryo to a predetermined processing position;

An image recognition device captures an image of the hub rough embryo and recognizes the positioning bump to obtain the position of the positioning spoke seat;

Move the hub rough embryo according to the position of the positioning spoke base, use a cutter to remove burrs from the positioning spoke base, and remove the positioning protrusion; and

Use the tool to continue to remove the burrs in other positions of the hub rough embryo to form a hub.

The effect of the present invention is that by providing positioning protrusions on the positioning spoke base, the image recognition device can recognize the positioning spoke base as the starting position of the deburring processing, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the deburring operation.

In order to explain the present invention more clearly, the preferred embodiments are described in detail in conjunction with the drawings as follows. Please refer to Figure 1, which is a preferred embodiment of the method for removing burrs of a bicycle hub of the present invention.
