[0002] Electrical slip rings, also known as brushes, carbon brushes, slip rings, current collectors, or rotary electrical joints, are a type of slip ring used for conducting electricity and are the most widely used type of slip ring. They are specifically designed for transmitting power and signal power during unrestricted continuous rotation. Electrical slip rings are electrical components responsible for connecting and transmitting energy and signals to rotating bodies, offering advantages such as low friction, high reliability, and low noise.
[0003] In implementing the embodiments of this application, the inventors discovered that currently, electric slip rings are typically composed of a conductive ring and an assembly. The assembly of the conductive ring and the assembly usually involves manually placing the assembly in a stamping machine, then manually placing the conductive ring on the assembly, and finally manually pressing the stamping machine to assemble the conductive ring and the assembly together. This process is inefficient, labor-intensive, and costly. Furthermore, due to human factors, the conductive ring is easily misplaced, resulting in poor assembly quality of the metal ring and the assembly, making it difficult to guarantee the pass rate of the conductive ring and the assembly.

[0010] Optionally, the second clamping assembly includes a third clamping arm, a fourth clamping arm, and a second cylinder assembly. The second clamping assembly drives the third and fourth clamping arms to clamp the mounting base via a second cylinder drive assembly.
[0011] Optionally, the third clamping assembly includes a fifth clamping arm, a sixth clamping arm, and a third cylinder assembly. The fifth clamping arm is provided with a first annular groove, and the sixth clamping arm is provided with a second annular groove.

[0024] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0025] Please refer to Figures 1 and 2. The tooling equipment 100 includes a positioning mechanism 10, a transfer mechanism 20, a pressing mechanism 30, and a clamping mechanism 40. The positioning mechanism 10 is provided with a positioning groove (not shown). The transfer mechanism 20 includes a transfer base 201 and a transfer sleeve 202. One end of the transfer sleeve 202 is fixed to the transfer base 201. The transfer sleeve 202 is provided with a plurality of positioning steps 203. Along the direction from one end of the transfer sleeve 202 to the other end, the positioning steps 203 are arranged in a stepped manner. The transfer base 201 is used to install in the positioning groove. The plurality of positioning steps 203 of the transfer sleeve 202 protrude from the positioning groove. The transfer base 201 is installed in the positioning groove to ensure the stable position of the transfer sleeve 202. The positioning step 203 allows the metal rings to be fitted layer by layer, and each layer of metal rings can be stably placed on the corresponding step. The pressing mechanism 30 is used to fit several metal rings onto the transfer sleeve 202, and one of the metal rings is supported by the positioning step 203. Through the pressing action, the metal rings are quickly and accurately fitted. The clamping mechanism 40 includes a base 401, a first clamping component 402, a first driving component 403, a second clamping component 404, a second driving component 405, and a third clamping component (not shown). Three clamping components are disposed on the base 401. The first driving component 403 is disposed on the base 401 and connected to the first clamping component 402. The second driving component 405 is connected to the second clamping component 404. The third clamping component is used to clamp the plurality of metal rings. The first clamping component 402 is used to clamp the transfer sleeve 202, and under the drive of the first driving component 403, the first clamping component 402 removes the transfer sleeve 202 from the plurality of metal rings. The second clamping component 404 is used to clamp the mounting base 60, and the second clamping component 404 is used to clamp the mounting base 60. Driven by the second drive assembly 405, a portion of the mounting base 60 is fitted onto the plurality of metal rings. When assembling the metal rings, the transfer mechanism 20 is first installed on the positioning mechanism 10. The pressing mechanism 30 then sequentially sets the plurality of metal rings onto the positioning steps 203 of the transfer sleeve 202. The third clamping assembly then clamps the plurality of metal rings. Subsequently, the first clamping assembly 402, driven by the first drive assembly 403, clamps and removes the transfer sleeve 202. At this time, the metal rings are still firmly clamped. Finally, the second clamping assembly 404, driven by the second drive assembly 405, clamps and moves the mounting base 60, causing a portion of it to fit inside the metal rings, thus completing the final assembly.
[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 again. The clamping mechanism 40 also includes a bracket 406, which is disposed on the base 401. The first driving component 403 and the second driving component 405 are both disposed on the bracket 406. Please refer to Figures 3 and 4. The first driving component 403 includes a first driving member 431 and a second driving member 432. The first driving member 431 is disposed on the bracket 406 and is connected to the second driving member 432. The first driving member 431 is used to drive the second driving member 432 to reciprocate along a first axis. In some embodiments, the first driving member 431 and the second driving member 432 are connected by a cylinder assembly so that the first driving member 431 can drive the second driving member 432 to reciprocate along the first axis. The second driving member 432 is connected to the first clamping component 402 and is used to drive the first clamping component 402 to reciprocate along a second axis. The first axis and the second axis are perpendicular, so that the first clamping component 402 can move in two mutually perpendicular directions, thereby achieving a more flexible and precise clamping effect. Specifically, the second driving member 432 is connected to the first clamping assembly 402. When the second driving member 432 reciprocates along the first axis under the drive of the first driving member 431, the second driving member 432 further drives the first clamping assembly 402 to reciprocate along the second axis. The dual-axis motion mode enables the first clamping assembly 402 to accurately clamp and release the transfer sleeve 202 and remove it from the metal ring when needed. Specifically, the first clamping assembly 402 includes a first clamping arm 421, a second clamping arm 422, and a first cylinder assembly (not shown). The first clamping assembly 402 drives the first clamping arm 421 and the second clamping arm 422 to clamp the transfer sleeve 202 through the first cylinder driving assembly.
[0027] Please refer to Figures 3 and 5. The second drive assembly 405 includes a third drive member 451 and a fourth drive member 452. The third drive member 451 is disposed on the bracket 406 and is connected to the fourth drive member 452. In some embodiments, the third drive member 451 and the fourth drive member 452 are connected through a cylinder module to ensure that the third drive member 451 can accurately drive the fourth drive member 452 to reciprocate along the first axis. The third driving member 451 drives the fourth driving member 452 to reciprocate along the first axis. The fourth driving member 452 is connected to the second clamping assembly 404. The fourth driving member 452 drives the second clamping assembly 404 to reciprocate along the second axis. The first axis and the second axis are perpendicular. When the fourth driving member 452 reciprocates along the first axis under the drive of the third driving member 451, the fourth driving member 452 further converts this motion into the power for the second clamping assembly 404 to reciprocate along the second axis, ensuring that the second clamping assembly 404 can accurately clamp, move, and release the mounting base 60 to complete the assembly step of fitting the mounting base 60 part into the metal ring. Specifically, the second clamping assembly 404 includes a third clamping arm 441, a fourth clamping arm 442, and a second cylinder assembly (not shown). The second clamping assembly 404 drives the third clamping arm 441 and the fourth clamping arm 442 to clamp the mounting base 60 through the second cylinder driving assembly.
[0028] In this embodiment of the application, the third clamping assembly (not shown) includes a fifth clamping arm, a sixth clamping arm, and a third cylinder assembly. The fifth clamping arm is provided with a first annular groove, and the sixth clamping arm is provided with a second annular groove. The metal ring is disposed between the first annular groove and the second annular groove. The third clamping assembly drives the fifth clamping arm and the sixth clamping arm to clamp the metal ring through the third cylinder driving assembly.
[0029] This application provides a tooling device 100, including a positioning mechanism 10, a transfer mechanism 20, a pressing mechanism 30, and a clamping mechanism 40. The positioning mechanism 10 is provided with a positioning groove. The transfer mechanism 20 includes a transfer base 201 and a transfer sleeve 202. One end of the transfer sleeve 202 is fixed to the transfer base 201. The transfer sleeve 202 is provided with a plurality of positioning steps 203. Along the direction from one end of the transfer sleeve 202 to the other end, the positioning steps 203 are arranged in a stepped manner. The transfer base 201 is used to install in the positioning groove. The plurality of positioning steps 203 of the transfer sleeve 202 protrude from the positioning groove. The pressing mechanism 30 is used for... A plurality of metal rings are fitted onto the transfer sleeve 202, and one of the metal rings is supported on the positioning step 203. The pressing mechanism 30 is used to fit the plurality of metal rings onto the transfer sleeve 202, and one of the metal rings is supported on the positioning step 203. The clamping mechanism 40 includes a base 401, a first clamping assembly 402, a first driving assembly 403, a second clamping assembly 404, a second driving assembly 405, and a third clamping assembly. The third clamping assembly is disposed on the base 401, and the first driving assembly 403 is disposed on the base 401. The first driving assembly 403 is connected to the first clamping assembly 402. The second driving assembly 405 is connected to the second clamping assembly 404. The third clamping assembly is used to clamp the plurality of metal rings. The first clamping assembly 402 is used to clamp the transfer sleeve 202, and under the drive of the first driving assembly 403, the first clamping assembly 402 removes the transfer sleeve 202 from the plurality of metal rings. The second clamping assembly 404 is used to clamp the mounting base 60, and under the drive of the second driving assembly 405, the second clamping assembly 404 partially inserts the mounting base 60 into the plurality of metal rings. Through the tight cooperation between the positioning groove in the positioning mechanism 10 and the transfer base 201, and the stepped shape on the transfer sleeve 202... The positioning step 203 design enables the positioning of the metal ring and the transfer base 201, effectively solving the positioning problem in traditional assembly. Furthermore, during the process of fitting the metal ring onto the transfer sleeve 202, the positioning step 203 provides support, preventing direct damage to the metal wire and ensuring product quality and reliability. Utilizing the precise positioning step 203 on the transfer sleeve 202, each metal ring can be independently and accurately placed in its designated position, ensuring that the dimensions between the copper rings are strictly controlled within the error range. Finally, the mounting base 60 is partially fitted onto the metal rings, improving the assembly effect and product quality.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 6. This application also provides a method for manufacturing an electric slip ring, applied to the aforementioned tooling equipment. The method includes:
[0031] Step S101: Install the transfer sleeve of the tooling equipment's transfer mechanism into the positioning groove on the transfer base, wherein several positioning steps of the transfer sleeve protrude from the positioning groove;
[0032] During installation, the operator needs to align the transfer sleeve with the positioning slot and insert it into the positioning slot. When the transfer sleeve is fully inserted into the positioning slot, the positioning step will naturally protrude out of the positioning slot. This is because the diameter of the positioning step is slightly larger than the opening diameter of the positioning slot, so that it can support the metal ring in subsequent steps. The positioning step is used to support and position the metal ring, ensuring that each metal ring maintains the correct position and orientation during assembly.
[0033] Step S102: Provide several metal rings and mounting bases;
[0034] The metal rings are typically made of metals with good electrical conductivity, such as copper or aluminum. They have specific sizes and shapes and are used to establish conductive paths in the slip ring. The number of metal rings depends on the design requirements of the slip ring. Usually, multiple metal rings are stacked or nested together to form a multi-channel conductive structure.
[0035] The mounting bracket is the supporting and fixing component of the slip ring, usually made of insulating material to ensure electrical isolation between the metal rings. The mounting bracket is typically designed to match the metal rings so that they can be accurately secured to it during assembly. The mounting bracket also includes other functional components such as leads and terminals to facilitate the connection of the slip ring to external circuitry.
[0036] Step S103: Place the plurality of metal rings and the transfer mechanism into the pressing mechanism of the tooling equipment, and the pressing mechanism sequentially puts the plurality of metal rings into the transfer sleeve rod, with one of the metal rings supported on the positioning step;
[0037] During the fitting process, the transfer mechanism (including the transfer sleeve already installed on the transfer base) and several metal rings are first placed into the pressing mechanism. Then, the pressing mechanism will precisely fit each metal ring onto the corresponding positioning step of the transfer sleeve in sequence. During this process, the pressing mechanism will apply appropriate pressure to ensure that the metal rings are firmly supported on the positioning steps and will not affect subsequent assembly steps due to loosening or displacement.
[0038] Step S104: The transfer mechanism with the plurality of metal rings is placed into the clamping mechanism, and the plurality of metal rings are clamped by the third clamping component of the clamping mechanism;
[0039] Once the transfer mechanism is placed within the working area of the clamping mechanism, the third clamping component moves quickly and accurately to the position of the metal ring. Then, the third clamping component applies an appropriate clamping force to stably clamp the metal ring inside, ensuring that the metal ring will not move or fall off due to external forces during subsequent assembly steps.
[0040] Step S105: When the third clamping component clamps the plurality of metal rings, control the first clamping component in the clamping mechanism to clamp the transfer mechanism, and control the first driving component in the clamping mechanism to pull the transfer mechanism out of the plurality of metal rings;
[0041] While the first clamping assembly holds the transfer mechanism, the first driving assembly in the clamping mechanism starts to work. The first driving assembly is controlled to generate an outward pulling or pushing force, causing the transfer sleeve to be gradually pulled out of the metal ring.
[0042] Step S106: Place the mounting base into the clamping mechanism, and the mounting base is clamped by the second clamping mechanism in the clamping mechanism;
[0043] Step S107: Control the second drive component in the clamping mechanism to insert a portion of the mounting base into the plurality of metal rings to obtain the electric slip ring.
[0044] Driven by the second drive assembly, the mounting base moves slowly and smoothly toward the metal ring until part of its structure is inserted into the metal ring. A tight fit is formed between the mounting base and the metal ring, thereby ensuring the conductivity and structural stability of the slip ring.
[0045] Step S108: Control the third clamping assembly to release the plurality of metal rings to remove the electric slip ring from the tooling equipment.
[0046] This application provides a method for manufacturing an electric slip ring. The method includes installing a transfer sleeve of a tooling equipment into a positioning groove on a transfer base, wherein a plurality of positioning steps of the transfer sleeve protrude from the positioning groove; providing a plurality of metal rings and a mounting base; placing the plurality of metal rings and the transfer mechanism into a pressing mechanism of the tooling equipment, wherein the pressing mechanism sequentially sleeves the plurality of metal rings onto the transfer sleeve, with one metal ring supported on one of the positioning steps; placing the transfer mechanism sleeved with the plurality of metal rings into a clamping mechanism, and wherein the plurality of metal rings are clamped by a third clamping component of the clamping mechanism; and in the third clamping component... When the three clamping components clamp the plurality of metal rings, the first clamping component 402 in the clamping mechanism is controlled to clamp the transfer mechanism, and the first driving component 403 in the clamping mechanism is controlled to pull the transfer mechanism out of the plurality of metal rings; the mounting base is placed into the clamping mechanism, and the mounting base is clamped by the second clamping mechanism in the clamping mechanism; the second driving component in the clamping mechanism is controlled to insert a portion of the mounting base into the plurality of metal rings, thereby obtaining the electric slip ring. The above steps can solve the problems of inaccurate positioning of metal rings, damage to cables, and dimensional errors in the existing assembly method.
