Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of hub motor technology, and more specifically to an automatic barcode labeling device for hub motors. Background Technology

[0002] In-wheel motors are motors designed to integrate a vehicle's powertrain, transmission, and braking systems. They eliminate many transmission components, simplifying the vehicle's structure and enabling various complex drive modes. Because in-wheel motors allow for independent drive of each wheel, they can easily achieve front-wheel drive, rear-wheel drive, and four-wheel drive configurations. Full-time four-wheel drive is particularly easy to implement in vehicles powered by in-wheel motors.

[0003] During the production and processing of hub motors, barcodes need to be affixed to the same location on each hub motor to facilitate identification of the hub motor information. However, current barcode affixing equipment requires manual adjustment when affixing barcodes to hub motors due to the different angles of the hub motors, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art and provide an automatic barcode labeling device for wheel hub motors.

[0005] One embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic barcode labeling device for a wheel hub motor, comprising: a frame, a motor conveying device, a detection device, an adjustment device, a barcode clamping device, and a barcode conveying device;

[0006] The frame is equipped with a conveyor track;

[0007] The motor conveying device includes a conveying mechanism, a conveying plate, and a first deceleration mechanism. The conveying mechanism is mounted on the frame and is used to drive the conveying plate to move along the conveying track. The conveying plate is provided with a positioning part for rotating with the hub motor. The first deceleration mechanism is used to reduce the moving speed of the conveying plate.

[0008] The detection device is used to detect whether the current angle of the hub motor is the same as the standard angle when the first deceleration mechanism applies a deceleration action to the conveyor plate.

[0009] The first deceleration mechanism, the adjustment device, and the barcode clamping device are arranged sequentially along the conveying track. The adjustment device is used to adjust the angle of the hub motor. When the current angle is not the same as the standard angle, the adjustment device rotates the hub motor to make the angle of the hub motor the same as the standard angle.

[0010] The barcode clamping device is used to clamp the barcode onto the hub motor;

[0011] The barcode conveying device is used to transport barcodes to one side of the barcode clamping device.

[0012] Compared to existing technologies, the automatic barcode labeling device for hub motors of the present invention can detect whether the angle of the hub motor on the conveyor plate is correct through a detection device, and can adjust and calibrate the angle of the hub motor through an adjustment device to achieve precise positioning. This eliminates the need for the operator to consider the angle of the hub motor when it is placed on the conveyor plate, saving time and effort, and ensuring that the barcode is accurately affixed to the correct position. In addition, before the conveyor plate is detected by the detection device, the first deceleration mechanism can reduce the moving speed of the conveyor plate, which can improve the accuracy of the detection device in detecting the hub motor.

[0013] In some alternative embodiments, the first deceleration mechanism includes a deceleration rod and a damper. The deceleration rod is rotatably mounted on the frame, one end of the deceleration rod is provided with a friction part for abutting against the conveyor plate, and the other end of the deceleration rod is connected to the damper.

[0014] In some alternative embodiments, a reduction gear is provided on the friction part.

[0015] In some optional embodiments, the conveyor plate is provided with a limiting groove, and the motor conveying device further includes a limiting mechanism. The first deceleration mechanism and the limiting mechanism are arranged sequentially along the conveying track. The limiting mechanism includes a limiting member and a limiting drive assembly. The limiting member is movably disposed on the frame, and the limiting drive assembly is used to drive the limiting member to extend into or disengage from the limiting groove.

[0016] After the limiting member extends into the limiting groove, the barcode clamping device clamps the barcode onto the hub motor.

[0017] In some alternative embodiments, a second deceleration mechanism is provided between the first deceleration mechanism and the limiting mechanism, the second deceleration mechanism being used to reduce the moving speed of the conveyor plate.

[0018] In some optional embodiments, a positioning wheel is provided in the limiting groove, and a guide slope is provided at the end of the limiting member. When the limiting member extends into the limiting groove, the guide slope abuts against the positioning wheel, and the limiting member is inserted between the positioning wheel and the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0019] In some optional embodiments, the adjustment device includes a rotary table, a rotary drive assembly, a clamping drive assembly, and two clamping plates. The rotary table is rotatably mounted on the frame, the rotary drive assembly is drive-connected to the rotary table, and the clamping drive assembly is mounted on the rotary table for driving the two clamping plates to cooperate in clamping the hub motor.

[0020] In some optional embodiments, the barcode clamping device includes a vacuum adsorption plate and a three-axis translation drive assembly. The vacuum adsorption plate has a plurality of adsorption holes evenly arranged thereon. The three-axis translation drive assembly is driven to the vacuum adsorption plate and is used to drive the vacuum adsorption plate to move between the hub motor and the barcode conveying device.

[0021] In some optional embodiments, the barcode conveying device includes a storage wheel, a plurality of rotating wheels, a barcode winding assembly, and a barcode placement platform. The storage wheel, the plurality of rotating wheels, and the barcode placement platform are sequentially arranged on the frame.

[0022] In some optional embodiments, the barcode conveying device further includes a barcode flattening mechanism disposed between the storage wheel and the barcode placement platform. The barcode flattening mechanism includes a support platform, a pressure plate, and a lifting drive assembly.

[0036] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention. In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more, and "a number" means one or more. Furthermore, unless otherwise stated, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The automatic barcode labeling equipment for hub motors includes: a frame 10, a motor conveying device 20, a detection device 30, an adjustment device 40, a barcode clamping device 50, and a barcode conveying device 60.

[0038] Please see Figure 3The frame 10 is equipped with a conveyor track 11; the motor conveying device 20 includes a conveying mechanism 21, a conveying plate 22, and a first deceleration mechanism 23. The conveying mechanism 21 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to drive the conveying plate 22 to move along the conveyor track 11. The conveying plate 22 is provided with a positioning part 221 for rotating with the hub motor. The first deceleration mechanism 23 is used to reduce the moving speed of the conveying plate 22. The detection device 30 is used to detect whether the current angle of the hub motor is the same as the standard angle when the first deceleration mechanism 23 applies a deceleration effect to the conveying plate 22. The first deceleration mechanism 23, the adjusting device 40, and the barcode clamping device 50 are arranged sequentially along the conveyor track 11. The adjusting device 40 is used to adjust the angle of the hub motor. When the current angle is not the same as the standard angle, the adjusting device 40 rotates the hub motor to make the angle of the hub motor the same as the standard angle. The barcode clamping device 50 is used to clamp the barcode onto the hub motor. The barcode conveying device 60 is used to convey the barcode to one side of the barcode clamping device 50.

[0039] After the hub motor is placed on the conveyor plate 22, the conveying mechanism 21 drives the conveyor plate 22 to move along the conveying track 11. When the conveyor plate 22 moves to the first deceleration mechanism 23, the first deceleration mechanism 23 reduces the moving speed of the conveyor plate 22, thereby facilitating the detection device 30 to more accurately detect the hub motor on the conveyor plate 22. The detection device 30 detects whether the detection angle of the hub motor on the conveyor plate 22 is the same as the standard angle. When the conveyor plate 22 moves to the adjustment device 40, the adjustment device 40 adjusts the angle of the hub motor according to the detection structure. If the current angle is not the same as the standard angle, the adjustment device 40 rotates the hub motor to make the angle of the hub motor the same as the standard angle. Then the conveyor plate 22 continues to move to the vicinity of the barcode clamping device 50. The barcode clamping device 50 removes the barcode from the barcode conveying device 60, clamps it onto the hub motor, and affixes the barcode to the hub motor, completing the barcode affixing operation.

[0040] Since the angle of the hub motor can be adjusted by the adjustment device 40 to achieve precise positioning, the angle does not need to be manually adjusted when the hub motor is placed on the conveyor plate 22, saving time and effort, and ensuring that the barcode can be accurately affixed to the correct position; in addition, before the conveyor plate 22 is detected by the detection device 30, the first deceleration mechanism 23 can reduce the moving speed of the conveyor plate 22, which can improve the accuracy of the detection device 30 in detecting the hub motor.

[0041] The specific structure of the detection device 30 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the detection device 30 includes a camera and an image processing module. The camera acquires the current image of the hub motor. The image processing module determines the current angle based on the current image and compares the current angle with the standard angle. If they are different, the difference between the current angle and the standard angle is obtained. Then, the adjustment device 40 adjusts the angle of the hub motor according to the difference.

[0042] Please see Figure 4 The specific structure of the first deceleration mechanism 23 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the first deceleration mechanism 23 includes a deceleration rod 231 and a damper 232. The deceleration rod 231 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10. One end of the deceleration rod 231 is provided with a friction part for abutting against the conveyor plate 22. The other end of the deceleration rod 231 is connected to the damper 232. When the conveyor plate 22 passes through the deceleration rod 231, the friction part of the deceleration rod 231 abuts against the conveyor plate 22 and is squeezed by the conveyor plate 22, thereby driving the deceleration rod 231 to rotate. When the deceleration rod 231 rotates, it drives the output shaft of the damper 232 to move, so that the damper 232 applies resistance to the deceleration rod 231. The resistance is applied to the conveyor plate 22 through the deceleration rod 231, which restricts the movement of the conveyor plate 22 and reduces the moving speed of the conveyor plate 22. After the conveyor plate 22 passes through the first deceleration mechanism 23, the damper 232 drives the deceleration rod 231 back to its original position.

[0043] The specific structure of the conveying mechanism 21 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the conveying mechanism 21 can be a mesh belt conveying mechanism 21, a roller conveying mechanism 21, a chain plate conveying mechanism 21, a belt conveying mechanism 21, etc.

[0044] In some alternative embodiments, a reduction wheel 233 is provided on the friction part, the reduction wheel 233 abuts against the conveyor plate 22, and rolling friction is generated between the reduction wheel 231 and the conveyor plate 22, thereby reducing the wear of the reduction rod 231 and the conveyor plate 22.

[0045] Please see Figure 5 and Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, the conveyor plate 22 is provided with a limiting groove 222, and the motor conveying device 20 also includes a limiting mechanism 24. The first deceleration mechanism 23 and the limiting mechanism 24 are arranged sequentially along the conveying track 11. The limiting mechanism 24 includes a limiting member 241 and a limiting drive assembly 242. The limiting member 241 is movably mounted on the frame 10, and the limiting drive assembly 242 is used to drive the limiting member 241 to extend into or disengage from the limiting groove 222. The limiting drive assembly 242 can be a lead screw drive assembly, a rotary motor translation drive assembly, a belt translation drive assembly, a cylinder translation drive assembly, or a linear motor translation drive assembly, etc.

[0046] When a barcode needs to be affixed, the limiting member 241 extends into the limiting groove 222, and then the barcode clamping device 50 clamps the barcode onto the hub motor so that the barcode is affixed to the hub motor. The limiting mechanism 24 prevents the conveyor plate 22 from shaking during barcode affixing, thus improving the accuracy of barcode affixing.

[0047] In some alternative embodiments, a second deceleration mechanism 25 is provided between the first deceleration mechanism 23 and the limiting mechanism 24. The second deceleration mechanism 25 is used to reduce the moving speed of the conveyor plate 22, so that the conveyor plate 22 decelerates before reaching the limiting mechanism 24, thereby allowing the limiting member 241 to extend more accurately into the limiting groove 222. The second deceleration mechanism 25 can adopt a structure similar to that of the first deceleration mechanism 23.

[0048] In some optional embodiments, a positioning wheel 223 is provided in the limiting groove 222, and a guide slope 243 is provided at the end of the limiting member 241. When the limiting member 241 extends into the limiting groove 222, the guide slope 243 abuts against the positioning wheel 223 and slides along the positioning wheel 223, so that the limiting member 241 is inserted and tightly locked between the positioning wheel 223 and the inner wall of the limiting groove 222, avoiding gaps between the limiting groove 222 and the limiting member 241 that would cause the conveyor plate 22 to shake relative to the limiting member 241, improving the stability of the conveyor plate 22, and thus improving the accuracy of barcode affixing.

[0049] Please see Figure 7 The specific structure of the adjustment device 40 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the adjustment device 40 includes a rotary table 41, a rotary drive assembly 42, a clamping drive assembly 43, and two clamping plates 44. The rotary table 41 is rotatably mounted on the frame 10. The rotary drive assembly 42 is drively connected to the rotary table 41. The clamping drive assembly 43 is mounted on the rotary table 41 and is used to drive the two clamping plates 44 to clamp the hub motor. When adjusting the angle of the hub motor, the clamping drive assembly 43 drives the two clamping plates 44 to clamp the hub motor, and then the rotary drive assembly 42 drives the rotary table 41 to rotate, thereby causing the hub motor to rotate by an angle, thus realizing the angle adjustment of the hub motor. In this embodiment, the rotary drive assembly 42 is signal-connected to the aforementioned image processing module, and the image processing module sends the angle information to be adjusted to the rotary drive assembly 42.

[0050] Please see Figure 8 and Figure 9The specific structure of the barcode clamping device 50 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the barcode clamping device 50 includes a vacuum adsorption plate 51 and a three-axis translation drive assembly 52. ​​Multiple adsorption holes 53 are evenly arranged on the vacuum adsorption plate 51. The adsorption holes 53 are connected to a negative pressure generating device. By generating negative pressure at the adsorption holes 53, the barcode is adsorbed, thereby achieving barcode clamping. The three-axis translation drive assembly 52 is drively connected to the vacuum adsorption plate 51 and is used to drive the vacuum adsorption plate to move between the hub motor and the barcode conveying device 60. The principle of the three-axis translation drive assembly 52 is well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0051] Please see Figure 10 The specific structure of the barcode conveying device 60 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, in some optional embodiments, the barcode conveying device 60 includes a storage wheel 61, multiple rotating wheels 62, a barcode winding assembly 63, and a barcode placement platform 64. The storage wheel 61 is used to store barcode tape with multiple barcodes attached to it. The rotating wheels 62 are used to tighten the barcode tape, thereby facilitating the conveying of the barcode tape. The storage wheel 61, multiple rotating wheels 62, and barcode placement platform 64 are sequentially arranged on the frame 10. The barcode winding assembly 63 is arranged between any two adjacent rotating wheels 62 and is used to drive the barcode tape on the storage wheel 61 to pass sequentially through the rotating wheels 62 and the barcode winding assembly 63 to the barcode placement platform 64. The barcode clamping device 50 clamps the barcodes on the barcode tape on the barcode placement platform 64 and then conveys them to the hub motor. In this embodiment, the barcode winding assembly 63 includes multiple winding wheels and a motor that drives the winding wheels to rotate. The barcode strip is wound on the winding wheels, and the motor drives the winding wheels to rotate, causing the barcode strip to move toward the barcode placement platform 64.

[0052] In some optional embodiments, the barcode conveying device 60 further includes a barcode flattening mechanism 65, which is disposed between the storage wheel 61 and the barcode placement platform 64. The barcode flattening mechanism 65 includes a support platform 651, a pressure plate 652, and a lifting drive assembly 653. The support platform 651 is mounted on the frame 10, and the pressure plate 652 is vertically and vertically positioned above the support platform 651 via the lifting drive assembly 653. The pressure plate 652 is used to press the barcode on the barcode tape against the support platform 651, thereby flattening the barcode and preventing it from bending or warping. The lifting drive assembly 653 can be a screw drive assembly, a rotary motor translation drive assembly, a belt translation drive assembly, a cylinder translation drive assembly, or a linear motor translation drive assembly, etc.

[0053] Although embodiments of the invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
