[0039] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "mounted," "connected," "connected," and "fixed" should be understood in a broad sense. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and internal communication between two components or interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention in specific circumstances.
[0040] In the description of the present invention, reference to terms such as "one embodiment," "some optional embodiments," or "some optional embodiments" means that the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in conjunction with that embodiment or example are included in at least one embodiment or example of the present invention. In this specification, schematic representations of the above terms do not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described may be combined in any suitable manner in any one or more embodiments or examples.
[0041] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 An embodiment of the present invention provides a motor vent valve installation device, including: a frame 10, a conveying device 20, a vent valve feeding device 30, a vent valve tightening device 40 and a vent valve detection device 50.
[0042] The conveying device 20 is set on the frame 10 for conveying the motor end cover 90; the breathable valve loading device 30 and the breathable valve detection device 50 are arranged in sequence on the frame 10 along the conveying direction of the conveying device 20, and the breathable valve tightening device 40 is set on the breathable valve loading device 30.
[0043] See also Figure 3 and Figure 4 The air valve loading device 30 includes a first bracket 31, a first lifting frame 32, a first lifting drive assembly 33, and a vibration plate 34. The first bracket 31 is mounted on the frame 10. The first lifting frame 32 is movably mounted on the first bracket 31 and is liftably mounted above the conveying device 20 via the first lifting drive assembly 33. A vertical blanking channel 35 is provided on the first lifting frame 32. The vibration plate 34 is mounted on the first bracket 31. The discharge port 342 of the vibration plate 34 is connected to one side of the vertical blanking channel 35. The vibration plate 34 is used to store the air valve 91. When the vibration plate 34 vibrates, the air valve 91 can be shaken to the discharge port 342 of the vibration plate 34, causing the air valve 91 to fall into the vertical blanking channel 35.
[0044] See also Figure 5The specific structure of the vibration plate 34 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the vibration plate 34 includes a box body and a vibration motor. The box body is used to store the air valve 91, and the vibration motor is connected to the box body to drive the box body to vibrate. Since the shape of the air valve 91 is asymmetrical, it is necessary to make the threaded column of the air valve 91 face downward. Therefore, a slide groove 341 matching the diameter of the threaded column is provided in the box body. The slide groove 341 gradually extends toward the discharge port 342, so that when the box body vibrates, the threaded column of the air valve 91 can be extended into the slide groove 341, and then slide along the slide groove 341 to the discharge port 342, so that the air valve 91 with the threaded column facing downward is discharged from the discharge port 342. A limiting portion 343 can be provided above the discharge port 342. Those air valves 91 whose threaded columns do not extend into the slide groove 341 will be restricted by the limiting portion 343 due to their incorrect posture and cannot enter the discharge port 342, thereby allowing the air valve 91 with the correct posture to enter the discharge port 342.
[0045] The air valve tightening device 40 includes a tightening seat 41 and a power assembly 42. The tightening seat 41 is movably arranged in the vertical blanking channel 35. The bottom of the tightening seat 41 is provided with a limiting groove matching the shape of the air valve 91. The power assembly 42 is driven and connected to the tightening seat 41, and is used to drive the tightening seat 41 to move along the vertical blanking channel 35 and drive the tightening seat to rotate. The conveying device 20 conveys the motor end cover 90 to the bottom of the lifting frame, and then the lifting frame descends so that the bottom port of the movable channel corresponds to the installation position of the air valve 91 of the motor end cover 90; when installing the air valve 91, the air valve 91 reaches the vertical blanking channel 35 from the discharge port 342 of the vibration plate 34, and then falls from the vertical blanking channel 35 to the installation position of the air valve 91 of the motor end cover 90, and then the power component 42 drives the tightening seat 41 to move along the vertical blanking channel 35 and then extends from the bottom port of the vertical blanking channel 35, so that the limit groove and the air valve 91 are limited and matched, and then the power component 42 drives the tightening seat 41 to rotate to drive the air valve 91 to be tightened on the motor end cover 90, thereby realizing automatic installation, saving manpower and material resources, and improving production efficiency.
[0046] The ventilation valve detection device 50 is used to detect whether the ventilation valve 91 is installed properly. If it is unqualified, the ventilation valve 91 on the motor end cover 90 needs to be removed so that the ventilation valve 91 can be reinstalled.
[0047] See also Figure 6 and Figure 7 In some optional embodiments, the conveying device 20 includes a plurality of support seats 21 and a transmission mechanism 22 for driving the support seats 21 to move. The support seats 21 are provided with positioning columns 23 that cooperate with the motor end cover 90. The motor end cover 90 is positioned by the positioning columns 23 and is not easily shaken.
[0048] See also Figure 7Since the installation position of the air valve 91 on the motor end cover 90 deviates from the center hole of the motor end cover 90, and the positioning column 23 is positioned with the center hole of the motor end cover 90, the motor end cover 90 is easy to rotate with the positioning column 23, resulting in the installation position of the air valve 91 easily deviating from the movable channel. Therefore, in some optional embodiments, an angle positioning portion 24 is provided on the support seat 21. When the motor end cover 90 is positioned with the positioning column 23, the angle positioning portion 24 is positioned with the groove on the side of the motor end cover 90 to limit the rotation of the motor end cover 90 relative to the positioning column 23, so that the angle of the installation position of the air valve 91 relative to the center of the motor end cover 90 can be accurately positioned, thereby allowing the movable channel to align with the air valve 91.
[0049] See also Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, the conveying mechanism 22 includes four sections of linear slides and four pushing components 26 arranged on the frame 10. The four sections of linear slides are surrounded to form a U-shaped slide 25. Multiple support seats 21 are arranged in sequence in the guide direction of the U-shaped slide 25. In the guide direction of the U-shaped slide 25, a gap is formed between the support seat 21 located at the front and the support seat 21 located at the rear for accommodating a single support seat 21. The pushing component 26 is arranged at the starting end of the linear slide for pushing the support seat 21 to move along the linear slide.
[0050] The following is an explanation of the conveying principle of the conveying mechanism 22: the four sections of linear slides are divided into a first linear slide, a second linear slide, a third linear slide and a fourth linear slide. The first linear slide, the second linear slide, the third linear slide, the fourth linear slide and the first linear slide are connected in sequence. Assuming that at the beginning, the gap is located at the end of the first linear slide and the beginning of the second linear slide, the pushing component 26 corresponding to the first linear slide pushes the support seat 21 in the first linear slide to move, thereby moving the support seat 21 located in the first linear slide along the first linear slide. , then the gap will be located at the beginning of the first linear slide and the end of the fourth linear slide; then, the pushing assembly 26 corresponding to the fourth linear slide pushes the support seat 21 in the first linear slide to move, thereby moving the support seat 21 located in the fourth linear slide along the fourth linear slide, and then the gap will be located at the beginning of the fourth linear slide and the end of the third linear slide, repeating the above steps until the gap is again located at the end of the first linear slide and the beginning of the second linear slide, at which point the support seat 21 has completed its advancement along the linear slide by the length of the support seat 21. The above-mentioned conveying method is conducive to allowing the support seat 21 to move a distance of the length of the support seat 21 each time, thereby facilitating the control of the position of the support seat 21, so that the support seat 21 can be accurately docked under the movable channel and at the air vent detection device 50.
[0051] The specific structure of the pushing component 26 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the pushing component 26 includes a pushing member and an electric cylinder. The electric cylinder is driven and connected to the pushing member. The electric cylinder drives the pushing member to move, so that the pushing member pushes the support seat 21 to move.
[0052] See also Figure 8 In some optional embodiments, the ventilation valve detection device 50 includes a second bracket 51, a second lifting frame 52, a second lifting drive assembly 53, a first sensor 54, a second sensor 55 and a processing module. The second bracket 51 is set on the frame 10, the second lifting frame 52 is movably set on the second bracket 51, and is liftably set above the conveying device 20 through the second lifting drive assembly 53. The first sensor 54 and the second sensor 55 are set on the second lifting frame 52, and the processing module is respectively connected to the first sensor 54 and the second sensor 55 by signal.
[0053] The first sensor 54 is used to detect the first height information of the installation position of the air valve 91 of the motor end cover 90, and the second sensor 55 is used to detect the second height information of the preset position of the motor end cover 90. The processing module obtains the height difference between the first height information and the second height information.
[0054] If the height difference is within the first preset range, the motor end cover 90 is not placed on the support base 21. Since the motor end cover 90 is not placed on the support base 21, the height difference should be a. Of course, based on the detection error of the first sensor 54 and the second sensor 55 and the assembly error of the structure, the first preset range is preset to a±1mm. In this embodiment, a is 0mm. Of course, a can also be other values according to the shape design requirements of the support base 21.
[0055] If the height difference is within the second preset range, the breather valve 91 is properly installed. Since the support base 21 holds the motor end cap 90 and the breather valve 91 is properly installed, the height difference should be b. Of course, based on the detection errors of the first and second sensors 54 and 55 and the assembly errors of the structure, the second preset range can be preset to b±0.1mm. In this embodiment, b is 5mm. Of course, b can also be other values depending on the shape design requirements of the support base 21.
[0056] If the height difference is within the third preset range, the vent valve 91 is not properly installed. This is because the motor end cap 90 is placed on the support base 21, and the vent valve 91 is not properly installed. This is usually because the vent valve 91 is not tightened, resulting in the vent valve 91 being too high. In this case, the height difference should be c, which is greater than b. The third preset range is set to greater than c + 0.1 mm. The first, second, and third preset ranges do not overlap, thereby preventing undetected parts.
[0057] In some optional embodiments, the motor breathable valve installation equipment includes a transfer device 60, which includes a transfer table 61 and a transport mechanism 62. The transfer table 61 is provided on one side of the conveying device 20, and the transport mechanism 62 is provided between the transfer table 61 and the conveying device 20, and is used to transport the motor end cover 90 on the conveying device 20 to the transfer table 61. When the breathable valve 91 is not installed properly, the transport mechanism 62 transports the motor end cover 90 on the support base 21 to the transfer table 61, and the employee removes the breathable valve 91 that is not installed properly from the motor end cover 90. The motor end cover 90 can then be reinstalled with the breathable valve 91, and the removed breathable valve 91 can also be put back on the vibration plate 34 so that it can be reinstalled on the motor end cover 90.
[0058] See also Figure 9 In some optional embodiments, the power component 42 is connected to the tightening seat 41 through a buffer mechanism. The buffer mechanism includes a transmission member 43 and a buffer elastic member 44. The tightening seat 41 and the transmission member 43 are slidably matched. A buffer elastic member 44 is connected between the transmission member 43 and the tightening seat 41. When the power component 42 drives the tightening seat 41 to press toward the air valve 91, the tightening seat 41 moves along the transmission member 43 and drives the buffer elastic member 44 to produce elastic deformation. The buffer elastic member 44 can provide elastic buffering for the tightening seat 41 to prevent the air valve 91 from being crushed.
[0059] See also Figure 6 In some optional embodiments, the air valve tightening device 40 also includes two clamping blocks 45 and two translation drive assemblies 46. The two clamping blocks 45 are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying device 20 and are correspondingly located below the lifting frame. The two translation drive assemblies 46 are correspondingly connected to the clamping blocks 45 for driving the two clamping blocks 45 to cooperate with clamping the motor end cover 90, thereby clamping and positioning the motor end cover 90, avoiding shaking and deviation of the motor end cover 90 when the air valve 91 falls on the motor end cover 90 and tightens the air valve 91, thereby improving the stability of the installation of the air valve 91.
[0060] The specific structure of the translation drive assembly 46 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the translation drive assembly 46 can be a screw drive assembly, a rotary motor translation drive assembly 46, a belt translation drive assembly 46, a cylinder translation drive assembly 46 or a linear motor translation drive assembly 46.
[0061] See also Figure 1In some optional embodiments, the motor vent valve installation device also includes an end cover loading device 70, the end cover loading device 70 includes a first material rack 71, a first multi-axis translation mechanism 72 and a first clamping mechanism 73, the first material rack 71 is arranged on one side of the conveying device 20, the first multi-axis translation mechanism 72 is arranged between the first material rack 71 and the conveying device 20, and is driven and connected to the first clamping mechanism 73, the first clamping mechanism 73 is used to clamp the motor end cover 90, after the first clamping mechanism 73 clamps the motor end cover 90 on the first material rack 71, the first multi-axis translation mechanism 72 drives the first clamping mechanism 73 to move to the conveying device 20, and then the first clamping mechanism 73 releases the motor end cover 90, so that the motor end cover 90 is placed on the support seat 21.
[0062] See also Figure 1 In some optional embodiments, the motor vent valve installation device also includes an end cover unloading device 80, the end cover unloading device 80 includes a second material rack 81, a second multi-axis translation mechanism 82 and a second clamping mechanism 83, the second material rack 81 is arranged on one side of the conveying device 20, the second multi-axis translation mechanism 82 is arranged between the second material rack 81 and the conveying device 20, and is driven and connected to the second clamping mechanism 83, the second clamping mechanism 83 is used to clamp the motor end cover 90, after the second clamping mechanism 83 clamps the motor end cover 90 on the conveying device 20, the second multi-axis translation mechanism 82 drives the second clamping mechanism 83 to move to the second material rack 81, and then the second clamping mechanism 83 releases the motor end cover 90, so that the motor end cover 90 is placed on the second material rack 81.
[0063] The specific structure of the first multi-axis translation mechanism 72 and the second multi-axis translation mechanism 82 can be designed according to actual needs. For example, the multi-axis translation drive mechanism is used to drive the clamping mechanism to achieve translation in multiple directions. The multi-axis translation drive mechanism can be a two-axis translation drive mechanism or a three-axis translation drive mechanism, etc., which can be selected according to actual needs. The principle and structure of the multi-axis translation drive mechanism are well known to technical personnel in this field and will not be elaborated here.
[0064] The specific structures of the first clamping mechanism 73 and the second clamping mechanism 83 can be designed according to actual needs. The clamping mechanisms can clamp the motor end cover 90 by vacuum adsorption, magnetic attraction, or physical clamping.
