Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and in particular to a press-fit fixture for automotive motors. Background Technology

[0002] In the rapidly developing new energy vehicle market, the "IPB" braking system, or "Intelligent Integrated Braking System," is being widely adopted, with models from domestic brands such as Roewe, NIO, and BYD already equipped with it. IPB is an electronically controlled braking system that uses an electric motor to assist braking instead of the traditional vacuum system, resulting in faster response and more precise control. However, in the stator production of IPB systems, assembly work can account for approximately 70% of the workload. Assembly is a process that relies heavily on manual labor. Due to the complexity and diversity of assembly technology, automation is not easily achieved. Therefore, improving labor efficiency, product quality, reducing production costs, and increasing economic benefits to adapt to fierce market competition has become an urgent problem for manufacturers.

[0003] Currently, the pressing process for automotive brake housings and stators involves using a fixture to position the housing and stator or rotor, with manual assistance in loading and unloading to press the stator into the housing. This method suffers from drawbacks such as fixture machining positioning errors, product errors in the housing and stator materials, manual loading errors, high labor intensity for workers, and low production efficiency. Furthermore, it cannot guarantee the coaxiality requirements during the pressing process. Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide an automotive motor pressing fixture for picking up and pressing stator housings and stators. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems by proposing a press-fit fixture for automotive motors. This fixture enables the assembly of the housing and the stator or rotor, ensuring the coaxiality and height requirements of the stator or rotor with the housing. It also enables automated production and high-precision assembly, solving the problems of poor product coaxiality and frequent scratching of the inner wall of the motor housing due to errors in product precision and fixtures, resulting in a high product scrap rate.

[0005] This invention provides an automotive motor press-fitting fixture, comprising:

[0006] Cylinder mounting plate;

[0007] A gripper cylinder is mounted on the cylinder mounting plate.

[0008] A jig is used for positioning the iron core stator. Its outer side is provided with multiple first steps corresponding to the silicon steel sheets on the stator. The jig is provided with three grooves evenly distributed along its axis as the center line.

[0009] The stator core gripper consists of three grippers fixedly installed at the output end of the gripper cylinder. The stator core grippers are evenly distributed in the groove. The outer side of the stator core gripper is provided with two second steps that are adapted to the dimensions of the outer shell and the inner wall of the stator.

[0010] The press-fit locating pin is located on the outside of the stator core clamp and is used to limit the press-fit height of the stator when the press-fit fixture is pressed into the stator housing.

[0011] Preferably, it also includes a servo cylinder, a quick-change system interface disposed at the output end of the servo cylinder, and a conversion interface connection plate adapted to the quick-change system interface. The quick-change system interface is used for pneumatic control unlocking and fixing of the cylinder mounting plate and the conversion interface connection plate.

[0012] Preferably, the cylinder mounting plate is provided with a protective mechanism on one side of the gripper cylinder to prevent the gripper cylinder from bearing pressure.

[0013] Preferably, the protective structure includes a plurality of connecting rods disposed on the cylinder mounting plate and a pressure plate disposed at the other end of the connecting rods. The plurality of connecting rods are provided with a space to accommodate the gripper cylinder, and the pressure plate is provided with a through hole in the middle for the stator core gripper to pass through.

[0014] Preferably, an insulating guide plate is provided on the side of the pressure plate near the stator core clamp.

[0015] Preferably, the press-fit positioning pins are three evenly distributed on the pressure plate.

[0016] Preferably, the gripper cylinder is provided with a pneumatic-electric conversion interface.

[0017] Advantages and beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0018] This invention proposes an automotive motor press-fit fixture. Before press-fitting the motor housing and stator, the fixture uses the axis of the press-fitting jig as a reference. This ensures the accuracy of the press-fitting fixture while maintaining the coaxiality requirement between different batches of products. It solves the problem of poor coaxiality and frequent scratching of the inner wall of the motor housing due to product accuracy and jig errors during the press-fitting process, leading to a high scrap rate. This invention satisfies the accuracy tolerance requirements of different batches of products and consistently ensures the coaxiality and perpendicularity of the motor housing and stator.

[0019] This invention relates to a press-fit fixture used in automated assembly equipment for automotive brake motor housings and stators. It is used for picking up and pressing stator housings and stators, and can also be applied to the automated press-fitting process of automotive brake motor housings and rotors, or similar cylindrical housings and bushings or shafts, achieving automated production and high-precision assembly. This invention improves the positioning accuracy during motor housing and stator assembly, significantly enhancing product quality, reducing defect rates, ensuring product precision requirements, and improving overall product quality. It also effectively reduces equipment downtime, greatly increases production efficiency, and reduces product scrap rates. Attached Figure Description
