The labor intensity is high, and the operation efficiency is low.

[0003] The existing motor overturning and transfer methods are as follows: 1. The existing traction motor overturning and handling is basically a manual operation: a special overturning tool is installed on the overturning machine, and the motor is installed on the overturning tool by manually operating the overhead crane, and the motor is overturned by manually operating the overturning machine. 2. The overturning machine is installed on the AGV, and the overturning of the motor is realized by the overturning machine, and the transfer of the motor between processes is realized by the AGV.

Multiple overturning machines need to be provided on the production line to meet the overturning requirements between processes to avoid waste caused by multiple back-and-forth transfers. 3. Different overturning tools need to be replaced on the overturning machine to cope with different products. Due to the heavy weight of the traction motor, the overturning tool for motor interface installation is heavy, and multiple people are needed to install it, which is labor-intensive and low in operation efficiency. 4. The small-batch and multi-variety motor manufacturing mode requires rapid motor product mold changing. SUMMARY
