Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of commutator detection, and particularly relates to a commutator on-off detection mechanism with self-detection function and a detection method. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the production field of commutators, the number, size and shape (such as large and small grooves, horn grooves, etc.) of the grooves between the commutator segments (i.e. commutator segment grooves) and the internal quality (mica segment residues, groove edge stains, groove edge burrs, etc.) have a very important effect on the quality of the motor, and the groove width size and shape directly affect the motor noise, and the internal quality directly affects the motor insulation performance.

[0003] At present, the detection of commutator segments and segment shafts is mostly manual detection, and the efficiency of manual detection cannot be guaranteed, and the overall quality of the commutator cannot be guaranteed. At present, some are detected by existing detection equipment on the market, and most of the existing detection equipment is detected by the form of a probe. Although the detection speed is accordingly accelerated, the probe is prone to bending during use, the probe needs to be frequently replaced, and the device cannot be self-detected during the detection process. If the detection fails, it is difficult to determine whether the problem is with the product or with the detection equipment itself. SUMMARY

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems existing in the prior art, the application provides a commutator on-off detection mechanism with self-detection function and a detection method. The application can perform device self-detection while positioning the commutator, and detect defects such as hook loss and hook breakage at the bent part of the commutator. The detection efficiency is high, the accessories do not need to be frequently replaced, and the phenomenon of missed detection and false detection is unlikely to occur, thereby ensuring the quality of the commutator.

[0005] The technical solutions adopted by the application to solve the above technical problems are as follows:

[0006] The commutator on-off detection mechanism with self-detection function comprises an upper detection module and a lower detection module, the lower detection module is arranged corresponding to the upper detection module directly below the upper detection module, the upper detection module is provided with upper elastic sheets, the lower detection module is provided with lower elastic sheets, and the number of the upper elastic sheets is equal to that of the lower elastic sheets; the upper detection module can press the commutator to be detected downward to be clamped into the lower detection module, so that the commutator contacts the lower elastic sheets of the lower detection module, and the upper elastic sheets contact the commutator after the upper detection module moves again.

[0007] Preferably, a bottom plate is included, a vertical plate is installed above the bottom plate, and an extension fixing block is installed above the vertical plate; the upper detection module includes a first cylinder, the first cylinder is fixed to the extension fixing block, a top rod is connected to an output shaft of the first cylinder, a bolt is connected to the top rod, the bolt is opposite to the lower detection module, and the bolt can press the commutator to be detected downward to be clamped into the lower detection module under the driving of the first cylinder.

[0008] Preferably, the vertical plate is installed with a vertical guide rail, the guide rail is slidingly matched with a sliding block, the sliding block is connected with a sliding plate, the sliding plate is connected with a mounting seat through a connecting plate, the mounting seat is assembled with the upper spring plate of the upper detection module, and the bolt is movably arranged through the mounting seat.

[0009] Preferably, the mounting seat is in an L shape, one side of the mounting seat forms a rectangular mounting area, and a boss seat is fixed to the rectangular mounting area, the bolt is movably arranged through the boss seat and the rectangular mounting area, a plurality of long grooves are arranged on a circumferential surface of the boss seat, and the upper spring plate is fixed in each long groove.

[0010] Preferably, the sliding plate is installed with a second cylinder, and a movable end of the second cylinder is connected to the bottom plate.

[0011] Preferably, a buffer is arranged below the sliding plate, and the buffer is installed on the bottom plate. The buffer is arranged to limit the position and reduce the speed of the commutator moving downward.

[0012] The upper spring plate of the upper detection module and the bolt at the end of the first cylinder need to be used in cooperation. After the commutator to be detected is placed in the lower detection module, the first cylinder can drive the bolt to extend downward, the commutator is pressed downward, and the commutator is clamped into the limiting stopper of the lower detection module. At the same time, the bottom of the commutator also contacts the lower spring plate. After the contact, the bolt is reset along with the retraction of the first cylinder. The upper spring plate is driven by the second cylinder to move downward to the top of the commutator through the mounting seat and the sliding plate. The upper spring plate contacts the top of the commutator, and the self-checking of the commutator is realized. If the contact between the upper spring plate and the lower spring plate and the commutator is in a conduction state, the self-checking is passed. If the contact between the upper spring plate and the lower spring plate and the commutator is not in the conduction state, the self-checking is not passed. The self-checking step can preliminarily detect whether the commutator has a problem (such as a bend formed at the top of the commutator) and check whether the upper spring plate and the lower spring plate are abraded or deformed. After the self-checking is passed, the on-off detection step is entered.

[0013] Preferably, the lower detection module includes a tool base, the tool base is arranged with a groove, and the lower spring plate is arranged in the groove.

[0014] Preferably, the tool base is installed with a positioning ring, and the positioning ring is arranged with symmetrical limiting stoppers.

[0015] The groove part of the commutator to be detected needs to be in the limit stop sheet when the commutator is put into the positioning ring in the lower detection module, so as to play the role of accurate positioning. The commutator to be detected is pushed by the pin in the upper detection module and is in contact with the lower spring sheet. The commutator after self-checking is subjected to on-off detection in the lower detection module. If no leakage current exists between the contact sheets of the commutator, the detection is passed. If leakage current exists between the contact sheets of the commutator, the detection is failed.

[0016] Preferably, a top rod is arranged below the tool base, the top rod is connected to the output shaft of a motor after penetrating the mounting plate, the motor is fixed to the mounting plate, the mounting plate is connected to a guide column, the guide column is movably inserted into a guide sleeve, and the bottom of the guide column is movably penetrated through a fixing frame, the fixing frame is mounted on the bottom plate; the guide sleeve is fixedly mounted on the fixing frame, the fixing frame is provided with a third cylinder, and the output shaft of the third cylinder is fixedly connected to the mounting plate.

[0017] In summary, the detection mechanism detects the commutator through the cooperation of the upper and lower detection modules. The commutator to be detected is put into the lower detection module, the copper sheet of the commutator needs to be in contact with the lower spring sheet, and then the upper detection module moves towards the commutator placed in the lower detection module until the upper spring sheet in the upper detection module is in contact with the copper sheet of the commutator. After the contact, the controller issues a detection instruction to conduct a self-checking between the commutator and the upper and lower spring sheets. After detecting that each copper sheet of the commutator is in conduction with the upper and lower spring sheets, it is considered that the self-checking of the commutator is qualified. If a copper sheet is not in conduction with the spring sheet, it means that the commutator is unqualified or the spring sheet is worn. The self-checked commutator is subjected to on-off detection in the lower detection module. After passing through the two detection procedures, the commutator is considered to be qualified and is transported to the next procedure.

[0018] The application further discloses a commutator on-off detection method based on the above-mentioned commutator on-off detection mechanism.

[0019] 1) The upper feeding mechanism is used to transport the commutators, and the commutators are lifted one by one by the cylinder, and then are clamped and transported by the translation station.

[0020] 2) The commutator lifted by the cylinder in the straight vibration mechanism is grabbed by the gas claw in the translation station, is translated to one side by the driving of the cylinder sliding block after being clamped, and is positioned in the lower detection module in the on-off detection mechanism.

[0021] 3) Self-checking step: the commutator to be detected is placed into the positioning ring in the lower detection module, the groove position of the commutator to be detected is clamped in the limiting baffle of the positioning ring for positioning, the first air cylinder in the upper detection module drives the plug to move downward, the commutator to be detected is pushed downward, the lower edge of the copper sheet of the outer ring of the commutator to be detected is in contact with the lower spring installed on the tool base, the upper spring in the upper detection module is driven to move downward by the mounting seat, the sliding plate and the second air cylinder, until the upper spring in the upper detection module is in contact with the upper edge of the copper sheet of the outer ring of the commutator, after the contact, the upper and lower springs are in conduction with the copper sheet of the commutator for self-checking, if the upper and lower springs are not in the conduction state after contacting the commutator, the self-checking fails, and the self-checking failure is divided into single commutator self-checking failure and continuous multiple commutator self-checking failure, the commutator of the single commutator self-checking failure is removed by the waste removal station through the clamping and placement of the translation station, and the continuous multiple commutator self-checking failure needs to check the equipment failure and whether the upper and lower springs have problems;

[0022] 4) On-off detection step: after the self-checking passes, the upper detection module is reset through the guide rail slider, the lower spring in the lower detection module is in contact with the copper sheet of the commutator again for on-off detection, if no leakage current exists between the contact sheets of the commutator is detected, the detection passes, if the leakage current exists between the contact sheets of the commutator is detected, the detection fails;

[0023] 5) Discharging and feeding step: after the detection is completed, the third air cylinder arranged below the lower detection module drives the ejector rod to insert into the commutator and lift the commutator, and then the commutator is sent to the discharging station by the translation station, and the commutator that does not meet the self-checking or on-off detection requirement is sent to the waste removal station.

[0025] The commutator is self-checked and on-off detected by the upper and lower detection modules, the upper and lower bent springs in the detection module are in contact with the copper sheets at the upper and lower edges of the commutator for self-checking, so as to detect whether the commutator is preliminarily qualified and whether the upper and lower springs are worn or damaged, the self-checking step can be performed simultaneously when the upper detection module lifts the commutator to the lower detection module for positioning, the commutator is further on-off detected by the lower detection module after the self-checking passes, two-step detection further ensures the quality of the commutator, and the phenomenon of missed detection and mis-detection is not easy to occur; meanwhile, the detection technology adopted by the present application is more stable and durable than the detection mode of the existing manual and probe, and the detection speed can also be guaranteed, and the accessories do not need to be frequently replaced.

[0046] 5) Discharging and feeding step: after the detection is completed, the cylinder 23 arranged below the lower detection module drives the ejector rod to insert into the commutator and lift the commutator, and then the commutator is sent to the discharging station by the translation station, the commutator that fails in the self-checking or on-off detection is sent to the waste removal station.

[0047] The working principle of the commutator continuity testing mechanism with self-testing function in this embodiment is as follows: In this invention, the continuity testing station 3, the translation station 2, the waste removal station 4, and the unloading station 5 form a complete machine. The translation station 2 clamps the commutator into the continuity testing station 3. Specifically, the commutator to be tested is placed into the positioning ring 312 of the lower testing module 32. The groove of the commutator to be tested must also be within the limiting baffle 314 of the positioning ring 312. At this time, the cylinder 301 of the upper testing module 31 can drive the pin to extend downward to 303, pushing the commutator downward until the groove of the commutator is engaged with the bottom of the limiting baffle 314 of the lower testing module 32. At the same time, the bottom of the commutator will also contact the lower spring 313. After contact, the pin 303 is reset as the cylinder 301 retracts. The upper spring 305 is connected to the mounting base, the sliding plate, and the upper spring 305. Driven by cylinder 19, the commutator moves downward to the top, and the upper spring 305 contacts the top of the commutator to perform a self-test for the commutator's continuity. If the upper and lower springs are in a conductive state when in contact with the commutator, the self-test passes. If the upper and lower springs are not in a conductive state when in contact with the commutator, the self-test fails. Commutators that fail the self-test are picked up by translation station 2 and transferred to scrap removal station 4. Commutators that pass the self-test continue to be tested in the lower detection module 32 for continuity testing. The upper spring 305 in the upper detection module 31 is reset by the slider 15 of the guide rail 14. The lower spring 313 in the lower detection module 32 contacts the copper plate of the commutator to perform continuity testing again. If no leakage current is detected between the commutator contact plates, the test passes. If leakage current is detected between the commutator contact plates, the test fails. Commutators that have passed self-inspection and continuity testing will be picked up by the translation station and stacked at the unloading station 5. Commutators that fail the test will enter the scrap kicking station 4.

[0048] The aforementioned translation station 2, waste removal station 4, and unloading station 5 adopt existing technologies.
