[0039] The horizontal transfer motor 213 on the horizontal transfer mechanism 21 drives the horizontal transfer gear 214 to rotate, thereby causing the horizontal transfer gear 214 to rotate on the horizontal transfer rack 215, thereby causing the horizontal transfer slide 212 to move horizontally in the left and right directions on the horizontal transfer base 211. According to the coordinates of the 3D vision detection module 14, the end pickup assembly 23 on the transfer robot 22 is first moved to the top of the planetary wheel tray 11 at the third-stage planetary wheel 6;
[0040] When the end pickup assembly 23 is adsorbed, the motor 24 starts to rotate slowly, and is transmitted to the spline shaft 27 through the reducer 25 and the coupling 26, and finally to the spline sleeve 28, so that the corresponding central wheel installed on the spline sleeve 28 is inserted into the shaft hole of the three-stage planetary gear 6; after insertion and positioning, the end pickup assembly 23 is driven by the transfer robot 22 to slowly descend to the specified position, so that the spline shaft 27 continues to descend, thereby compressing the spline shaft spring 271, and at this time the spline sleeve sensor 281 also detects the spline The shaft 27 is meshed with the spline sleeve 28 and continues to descend through the end pickup assembly 23 until the electro-permanent magnet block 294 contacts the third-stage planetary gear 6. During the end pickup assembly 23, the electro-permanent magnet block 294 contacts and squeezes the third-stage planetary gear 6, causing the guide post 293 to move upward under the action of the guide post spring 295. The guide post sensor 297 detects the distance from the guide post connecting plate 2931 and transmits a signal to the electro-permanent magnet block 294. The electro-permanent magnet block 294 is then energized to attract the third-stage planetary gear 6.
[0041] After adsorption, the three-stage planetary gear 6 is transferred to the planetary gear support block 44 on the secondary positioning mechanism 4, and the electric chuck 43 is driven by the secondary positioning motor 42 to close and clamp the three-stage planetary gear 6 for centering; after centering, the electric chuck 43 is released;
[0042] The transfer robot 22 transports the three-stage planetary gear 6 to the top of the tooling plate positioning mechanism 32. Before the transfer robot 22 transports it, the reducer housing 5 is placed on the tooling plate 9 by manual or mechanical means. After completing the front-end assembly process, the tooling plate 9 is transported to the top of the jacking positioning plate 352 of the tooling plate positioning mechanism 32 by the upper roller conveyor line 314 on the tooling plate conveying mechanism 31. The tooling plate 9 is stopped by the stop cylinder 341, and after the tooling plate 9 is detected by the stop sensor 344, the tooling plate 9 on the jacking positioning plate 352 is lifted to a specified height by the jacking positioning cylinder 351. After the reducer housing 5 reaches the specified height, it waits for the installation of the planetary gear.
[0043] The transfer robot 22 carries the three-stage planetary gear 6 to the reducer housing 5, and the motor 24 starts to rotate slowly, which is transmitted to the spline shaft 27 through the reducer 25 and the coupling 26, and finally to the spline sleeve 28. The transfer robot 22 drives the end pick-up assembly 23 to slowly descend to the specified position, so that the spline shaft 27 continues to descend, thereby compressing the spline shaft spring 271. At this time, the spline sleeve sensor 281 also detects that the spline shaft 27 is engaged with the spline sleeve 28, and the three-stage planetary gear 6 is installed into the reducer. Inside the reducer housing 5, the guide post sensor 297 detects the distance from the guide post connecting plate 2931, confirming that the three-stage planetary gear 6 has engaged with the gear ring of the reducer housing 5. The end pick-up assembly 23 descends again, and the transfer robot 22 twists around the center wheel. Then, the center gear ring of the three-stage planetary gear 6 and the gear ring of the reducer housing 5 engage. The guide post sensor 297 again senses the distance from the guide post connecting plate 2931, confirming that the three-stage planetary gear 6 is installed in place; the permanent magnet block 294 loses power, and the transfer robot 22 resets.
[0044] Repeat the above steps to install the secondary planetary gear 7 and the primary planetary gear 8 into the reducer housing 5 in sequence.
[0045] To sum up, the advantage of the present invention is that the equipment replaces manual gear rolling, saving time and effort, and automatically detects and positions the first-stage, second-stage and third-stage planetary gears through the loading device 1, and grabs and transfers the planetary gears one by one through the transfer device 2 and assembles them into the reducer housing 5 of the tooling plate conveying device 3, and completes the meshing of the first-stage planetary gear 8, the second-stage planetary gear 7, and the third-stage planetary gear 6 with the gear ring on the reducer housing 5, greatly improving the gear rolling efficiency and accuracy, and ensuring product quality.

Those skilled in the art can make various changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present disclosure, and these changes and modifications will fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
