Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of transport fixtures, and in particular relates to a transport fixture for rotor-type products that can be adjusted in both directions and braked to maintain its position. Background Technology

[0002] As household and social life becomes increasingly automated and intelligent, coupled with the rise of the new energy vehicle industry in recent years, the research and development and manufacturing of motor products become indispensable. Therefore, the market demand for increased motor production is growing stronger.

[0003] In automated factories, the transportation of motor rotor products is generally carried out by using a carrier to lift and position the rotor's central shaft, and then transporting the carrier to various production stations.

[0004] Products are prone to rotation during transportation, requiring re-rotation to determine their angle and position at each workstation. This wastes production time and increases the costs of production line development and equipment manufacturing. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of this, the problem of product rotation during rotor transport has been solved. This invention aims to propose a rotor-type product transport fixture with bidirectional adjustable angle and brake holding, which maintains positioning accuracy. Each station no longer needs to rotate and correct the product angle, thereby improving the production line cycle time and reducing the production line research and development and manufacturing costs.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a rotor-type product transport fixture with bidirectional adjustable angle and brake holding, comprising a support shaft support, two support rotating shafts, and a bidirectional rotary mechanical braking mechanism. Two parallel support rotating shafts are mounted on the support shaft support, and product parts are supported on the two support rotating shafts. The bidirectional rotary mechanical braking mechanism is mounted on the outer side of one of the support rotating shafts. The bidirectional rotary mechanical braking mechanism includes a bearing protective sleeve, a thrust bearing, a rectangular spring, and an adjusting lock nut. The support rotating shaft is sequentially connected to the thrust bearing, the rectangular spring, and the adjusting lock nut. A bearing protective sleeve is installed on the outer periphery of the thrust bearing.

[0007] Furthermore, by adjusting the position of the locking nut to compress the rectangular spring, the rolling friction between the fixed side of the thrust bearing and the rotating side is adjusted, so that the supporting rotating shaft has a certain rotational resistance.

[0008] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the rotor-type product transport fixture with bidirectional adjustable angle and brake holding described in this invention are:

[0009] (1) After the fixture of the present invention is separated from the power source, the product is kept still by an adjustable bidirectional rotary mechanical braking mechanism, thus maintaining the positioning accuracy. Each position no longer needs to rotate and correct the product angle, which improves the cycle time of the production line and reduces the research and development and manufacturing costs of the production line.

[0010] (2) Since this fixture can be mechanically braked, the product can remain stationary during the process of transporting the fixture and the product to other positions on the production line. Therefore, some positions on the production line can be eliminated from the power source, and it is not necessary to add a power source to every position. This greatly reduces the cost of the production line, improves work efficiency, and saves space when designing and applying it. Attached Figure Description

[0016] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other, and the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments.

[0017] See Figure 1-3 This embodiment describes a rotor-type product transport fixture with bidirectional adjustable angle and brake holding, comprising a bracket, two supporting rotating shafts 1, and a bidirectional rotary mechanical braking mechanism. The bracket is equipped with two parallel supporting rotating shafts 1, which support product parts 6. The bidirectional rotary mechanical braking mechanism is mounted on the outer side of one of the supporting rotating shafts 1. The bidirectional rotary mechanical braking mechanism includes a bearing protective sleeve 2, a thrust bearing 3, a rectangular spring 4, and an adjusting lock nut 5. The supporting rotating shaft 1 is sequentially connected to the thrust bearing 3, the rectangular spring 4, and the adjusting lock nut 5. The thrust bearing 3 is equipped with a bearing protective sleeve 2 on its outer periphery.

[0018] Two supporting rotating shafts 1 support the thick end of the product and are compatible with different product sizes. One of the supporting rotating shafts 1 is equipped with a bidirectional rotating mechanical braking mechanism on its outer side, while the other supporting rotating shaft 1 is in a free (follow-up) state.

[0019] A bidirectional rotary braking mechanism is installed on the outside of a support shaft bracket, consisting of a locking nut 5, a rectangular spring 4, and a thrust bearing 3. Adjusting the position of the locking nut 5 compresses the rectangular spring 4, thereby adjusting the rolling friction between the fixed side and the rotating side of the thrust bearing 3, achieving a certain rotational resistance on the rotating shaft supporting the product. If the resistance is greater than the rotational force of the product's own rotation, the product will remain stationary. The product angle is adjusted at the initial position using a motor with grippers to hold the rotating shaft 1 at the power input 7; no further adjustments are needed at subsequent positions.

[0020] The angle of this invention is adjustable and can be maintained after being disconnected from the power source, and it is compatible with various product sizes.

[0021] The power source consists of a set of grippers, a set of rotary electric cylinders, and a pneumatic-electric slip ring.

[0022] After the grippers open, the power source separates from the fixture and is transported to other production stations.

[0023] The fixture is compatible with products of different diameters and the bidirectional rotary mechanical brake can be adjusted according to the product size.

[0024] Existing fixtures typically have one power source per fixture, resulting in a large number of power sources. Because this fixture features mechanical braking, it ensures the product remains stationary during transport to other positions on the production line. Therefore, some positions on the production line can eliminate the need for a power source, significantly reducing production line costs, improving work efficiency, and saving space during design and application.

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention disclosed above are merely illustrative of the invention. These embodiments do not exhaustively describe all details, nor do they limit the invention to the specific implementations described. Many modifications and variations can be made based on the content of this specification. This specification selects and specifically describes these embodiments to better explain the principles and practical applications of the invention, thereby enabling those skilled in the art to better understand and utilize the invention.
