In this embodiment, when the third step is completed and the fourth step is not completed, the positioning claw 8 is abutted against the hub 202, and at this time, the tensioning assembly pulls the positioning claw 8, and under the action of the positioning claw 8, the second lower positioning ring of the hub 202 abuts against the lower web 204, and at the same time, the lower web 204 abuts against the first lower positioning ring of the rim 201, so that the fourth step can be conveniently performed.
When the fifth step is completed and the sixth step is not completed, the positioning claws 8 are respectively abutted against the hub 202 and the upper web 203, at this time, the tensioning assembly pulls the positioning claws 8, the second upper positioning ring of the hub 202 is abutted against the upper web 203 under the action of the positioning claws 8, and at the same time, the upper web 203 is abutted against the first upper positioning ring of the rim 201, so that the sixth step can be conveniently executed.
Optionally, the positioning claw 8 includes a plurality of pressing claws and a plurality of bolt, and a plurality of pressing claws set up along the circumference interval of bolt, and the bolt is used for inserting to locate wheel hub 202, and a plurality of pressing claws and the one side butt that is located the upper web 203 of rotor wheel 200 and keeps away from lower web 204, and tensioning assembly sets up in base 4, and the flexible end of tensioning assembly stretches into wheel hub 202 and can dismantle with the bolt and be connected. In this embodiment, since the telescopic end of the tightening assembly is provided with the clamping jaw, the opposite end of the latch to the tightening assembly is provided with the clamping portion, and the clamping jaw has two states of clamping the clamping portion and releasing the clamping portion.
In addition, the upper web 203 and the hub 202 are provided with gaps along the radial direction, the joint of the clamping jaw and the upper web 203 is provided with a chamfer, the joint is in butt joint with the inner ring of the upper web 203, and meanwhile, the bolt is inserted into the hub 202, so that the relative positions of the hub 202 and the upper web 203 can be adjusted, and the relative positions can be kept concentric.
