Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of voice coil motor production and manufacturing, in particular to a high-efficiency and energy-saving voice coil motor manufacturing method and voice coil motor. BACKGROUND

[0002] The voice coil motor of the elastic vibration structure comprises four parts: a coil support part, a shell support part, a magnet assembly and an elastic part. The coil support part and the shell support part are the motor mover and the stator. The coil support part comprises a coil support tube and a coil support bottom plate. The coil support tube is a columnar body, and one end of the coil support tube is connected to the coil support bottom plate. The shell support part comprises a shell support tube and a shell support bottom plate. The shell support tube is a columnar body, and one end of the shell support tube is connected to the shell support bottom plate.

[0003] The magnet assembly is placed in the coil support tube. The outer surface of the coil support tube is provided with a plurality of coil skeletons. The coil skeletons are used for winding the coil. The shell support tube is arranged outside the coil support tube with the wound coil. The hollow columnar elastic part is arranged outside the shell support tube. One end of the elastic part abuts against the coil support bottom plate, and the other end of the elastic part abuts against the shell support bottom plate. The assembly of the coil support part and the shell support part is completed. When the coil is supplied with alternating current, the coil is subjected to Lorentz force in the magnetic field environment generated by the magnet assembly and generates reciprocating linear motion. The coil support tube is driven by the coil skeleton, so that the coil support part moves reciprocatingly and linearly relative to the shell support part. During the movement, the elastic part between the shell support bottom plate and the coil support bottom plate is compressed and shrinks or releases the compression force and expands.

[0004] In view of the current voice coil motor production status, the coil support part and the shell support part generally adopt an integrated structure. This processing method relies on overall material processing, which wastes time and materials. Taking the coil support part as an example, a large block of raw material of a large volume is needed in the early stage. The volume must include the total volume of the coil support tube and the bottom plate to ensure that a complete coil support part can be processed. Subsequently, the excess material is gradually removed by using lathe, milling machine and other equipment until the integrated structure of the coil support tube and the coil support bottom plate is formed. This processing method requires a large block of material. From the beginning of processing to the formation of the structure, the processing time is long, and there are difficult processing difficulties at the junction of the coil support tube and the coil support bottom plate, which undoubtedly further prolongs the working hours. During the entire processing process, a large amount of redundant materials are cut off and discarded, and the material consumption is extremely serious.

[0005] It can be seen that the traditional voice coil motor processing and manufacturing method has serious resource waste problems in processing efficiency and material, resulting in high cost of voice coil motor. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a high-efficiency and energy-saving voice coil motor processing and manufacturing method to help enterprises reduce costs and enhance market competitiveness.

[0059] In the embodiment, the step of cutting the coil support bottom plate 12 and the shell support bottom plate 22 from the two types of plate materials respectively specifically includes the following steps.

[0060] In the embodiment, the step of cutting the coil support bottom plate 12 and the shell support bottom plate 22 from the two types of plate materials respectively specifically includes the following steps.

[0061] In the embodiment, the step of cutting the coil support bottom plate 12 and the shell support bottom plate 22 from the two types of plate materials respectively specifically includes the following steps.

[0062] In the embodiment, the step of cutting the coil support bottom plate 12 and the shell support bottom plate 22 from the two types of plate materials respectively specifically includes the following steps.

[0063] The specific steps of processing the coil former 111 on the outer surface of the strip-shaped material are as follows: the strip-shaped material with finished outer diameter is removed from the lathe chuck, fixed on the workbench of the numerical control milling machine, and ensured to be stably clamped and accurately positioned. According to the design requirements, the relevant parameters of the coil former 111 are input into the control system of the numerical control milling machine, including the number, spacing, width and depth of the C-shaped rings and other specific size information. The numerical control milling machine is started, and a milling cutter with a suitable diameter is selected. The milling cutter is first moved to the starting processing position of the coil support pipe 11 column surface. For the first C-shaped ring, the milling cutter is cut into the column surface along the preset path, and is gradually milled in a way of surrounding the column body. The feed speed and rotational speed of the milling cutter are accurately controlled to ensure uniform and consistent milling depth, so as to process the one-side groove of the C-shaped ring. Then, the milling cutter is turned according to the predetermined route to mill the other-side groove of the C-shaped ring, until the first C-shaped ring is completely formed. At this time, the coil support pipe 11 is divided into two sections. The above-mentioned operation process is repeated, and the remaining C-shaped rings are sequentially processed on the column surface according to the set parameters, until the coil former 111 on the coil support pipe 11 is completed.

[0064] In the embodiment, the first connecting part on the coil support base plate 12 is a circular groove 100 with a first inner diameter, and the second connecting part on the coil support pipe 11 is a coil column end with a first outer diameter. The first inner diameter and the first outer diameter are in interference fit or transition fit, so that the coil column end of the coil support pipe 11 is tightly inserted into the circular groove 100 of the coil support base plate 12. The third connecting part on the shell support base plate 22 is a circular groove 100 with a third inner diameter, and the fourth connecting part on the shell support pipe 21 is a shell column end with a third outer diameter. The third inner diameter and the third outer diameter are in interference fit or transition fit, so that the shell column end of the shell support pipe 21 is tightly inserted into the circular groove 100 of the shell support base plate 22.

[0065] The steps of processing one surface of the coil support base plate 12 to form the first connecting part and processing one end of the coil support pipe 11 to form the second connecting part specifically include:

[0066] Step A1. The preliminarily processed coil support base plate 12 is installed on the processing platform, and a milling cutter with a suitable diameter is used on the numerical control milling machine to process a circular groove 100 with a first inner diameter at the center position of one surface of the coil support base plate 12 by gradually milling, so as to serve as the first connecting part. During the milling process, the feed amount and rotational speed of the milling cutter are strictly controlled to ensure the flatness and size accuracy of the inner wall of the circular groove 100.

[0067] Step B1. Install the coil support tube preliminarily processed into small sections on the machining platform, select a suitable milling cutter to process the end of the coil support tube to have a coil cylinder end head with a first outer diameter, which serves as the second connecting part. During processing, closely monitor the outer diameter size, and adjust the cutting parameters in real time to ensure that the outer diameter size of the end head is accurate and correct, and meets the requirements of interference fit or transition fit with the circular groove 100.

[0068] The step of processing one plate surface of the shell support bottom plate 22 to form a third connecting part and processing one end of the shell support tube 21 to form a fourth connecting part, has the following steps:

[0069] Step C1. Install the preliminarily processed shell support bottom plate 22 on the machining platform, use a numerical control milling machine with a suitable diameter milling cutter to process a circular groove 100 with a third inner diameter at the center position of one plate surface of the shell support bottom plate 22 by gradually milling, which serves as the third connecting part.

[0070] Step D1. Install the preliminarily processed shell support tube 21 into small sections on the machining platform, select a suitable milling cutter to process the end of the shell support tube to have a shell cylinder end head with a third outer diameter, which serves as the fourth connecting part.

[0071] Step E. Use the jacking assembly machine to tightly assemble the coil support tube and the coil support bottom plate, and the shell support tube and the shell support bottom plate;

[0072] The jacking assembly machine is provided with a base to be tracked, the end of the base is provided with an abutting seat and a jacking seat sliding along the track, the jacking seat is controlled by a driving member, which can be a hand-operated screw rod, a pneumatic cylinder or an oil cylinder, and the driving member is used to push the jacking seat close to the abutting seat to tightly fit the support tube (coil support tube or shell support tube) and the bottom plate (coil support bottom plate or shell support bottom plate) located between the jacking seat and the abutting seat. During specific operation, place the processed bottom plate on the side of the abutting seat with the plate surface where the corresponding connecting part (circular groove or circular boss) facing outward, hold the processed support tube in hand, accurately align the connecting part (cylinder end head adapted to the circular groove or cylinder end head adapted to the circular boss) of the support tube with the connecting part of the bottom plate, and place it lightly above the bottom plate to prepare for subsequent tight assembly. Start the driving member of the jacking mechanism to push the jacking seat forward, when the jacking seat contacts the support tube, slow down the driving speed, and continuously apply stable and uniform jacking force to gradually tightly fit the two connecting parts of the support tube and the bottom plate.

[0073] Step F. Detect the perpendicularity of the assembled bottom plate and support tube;

[0074] Detect the perpendicularity of the bottom plate and the support tube by using a right-angle ruler and a plug gauge, which includes the following detection steps:

[0075] Step F1. One side of the ruler is close to the surface of the base plate, and the other side is slowly close to the support pipe;

[0076] Step F2. Observe the gap between the ruler and the column, and insert the plug ruler of appropriate thickness into the gap, and read the gap value displayed by the plug ruler;

[0077] Step F3. Repeat step F2 around the support pipe, record the measurement values at different positions, and take the maximum value as the perpendicularity deviation, denoted as Δ1=0.15mm.

[0078] In order to verify that the base plate and support pipe assembly structure of the present scheme has better perpendicularity, two control examples are additionally set.

[0079] Control example one

[0080] The connecting part of the base plate is a plurality of first screw holes, and the connecting part of the support pipe is a plurality of second screw holes. A plurality of bolts are inserted into the corresponding first screw holes and second screw holes to realize the fastening connection between the base plate and the support pipe. Then, the above step F is used to detect the perpendicularity of the assembled base plate and support pipe, and the perpendicularity deviation is obtained, denoted as Δ2=0.45mm.

[0081] Control example two

[0082] The surface of the base plate is a plane structure, and only the center position is marked with a column installation position. The end of the support pipe is fastened and connected with the base plate by welding. Similarly, the above step F is used to detect the perpendicularity of the assembled base plate and support pipe, and the perpendicularity deviation is obtained, denoted as Δ3=0.6mm.

[0083] Finally, by comparing the perpendicularity deviations Δ1, Δ2 and Δ3 of the present example, control example one and control example two, it can be known that the perpendicularity of the assembled base plate and support pipe of the present example is the best. Through research, it is found that in control example two, due to the influence of factors such as screw hole machining precision and uneven tightening force of bolts during assembly, the support pipe and the base plate are easy to appear slight misalignment. In control example three, the uneven release of thermal stress during welding causes the deformation of the base plate and the support pipe. Even with the center mark for auxiliary positioning, it is still difficult to accurately ensure the perpendicular relationship. Therefore, it is proved that the base plate and support pipe assembly structure of the present example has better perpendicularity.

[0084] The application provides a voice coil motor, comprising a coil support part 1, a shell support part 2 and a magnet assembly 3, the coil support part 1 and the shell support part 2 are made by the above-mentioned high-efficiency energy-saving voice coil motor manufacturing method, and the coil support part 1 comprises a coil support pipe 11 and a coil support bottom plate 12 which are tightly assembled and connected, and the shell support part 2 comprises a shell support pipe 21 and a shell support bottom plate 22 which are tightly assembled and connected. The coil support pipe 11 and the coil support bottom plate 12 are made of aluminum material, and the shell support pipe 21 and the shell support bottom plate 22 are made of steel or iron material.

[0085] When the coil support part 1 and the shell support part 2 are assembled respectively, the magnet assembly 3 is put into the coil support pipe 11, and the coil is wound on the coil skeleton 111. The coil skeleton 111 is one or more C-shaped rings arranged on the cylindrical surface of the coil support pipe 11, and the C-shaped ring is obtained by processing the cylindrical surface of the coil support pipe 11 by means of a numerical control milling machine. One C-shaped ring divides the coil support pipe into a two-section structure. In optional embodiments, the cylindrical surface of the coil support pipe 11 has one C-shaped ring, two C-shaped rings or three C-shaped rings, so that one coil support pipe corresponds to a two-section structure, a three-section structure or a four-section structure, etc.

[0086] Then, the shell support pipe is sleeved outside the coil support pipe on which the coil is wound, and finally, an elastic part (not shown in the figure) is sleeved, one end of the elastic part abuts against the coil support bottom plate, and the other end of the elastic part abuts against the shell support bottom plate. In this way, the assembly of the complete voice coil motor is completed.

[0095] Finally, the steps E and F of the first embodiment are performed to complete the assembly of the voice coil motor, and the specific process is not described again.

[0096] Example Three

[0097] As Figure 6As shown, a method for manufacturing a high-efficiency and energy-saving voice coil motor is described. This method is the same as that in Embodiment 1, where the coil support part 1 and the outer shell support part 2 are processed separately. The difference is that: the first connecting part on the coil support base plate 12 is a circular groove 100 with a first inner diameter, and the second connecting part on the coil support tube 11 is a coil column end with a first outer diameter; the third connecting part on the outer shell support base plate 22 is a circular boss 200 with a fourth outer diameter, and the fourth connecting part on the outer shell support tube 21 is an outer shell column end with a fourth inner diameter.

[0098] Example 4

[0099] like Figure 7 As shown, a method for manufacturing a high-efficiency and energy-saving voice coil motor is described. This method is the same as that in Embodiment 1, where the coil support part 1 and the outer shell support part 2 are processed separately. The difference is that: the first connecting part on the coil support base plate 12 is a circular boss 200 with a second outer diameter, and the second connecting part on the coil support tube 11 is a coil column end with a second inner diameter; the third connecting part on the outer shell support base plate 22 is a circular groove 100 with a third inner diameter, and the fourth connecting part on the outer shell support tube 21 is an outer shell column end with a third outer diameter.

[0100] In summary, this invention provides a highly efficient and energy-saving method for manufacturing voice coil motors. Breaking away from the traditional integrated structure processing model, it uses two types of sheet materials to process the coil support base plate 12 and the outer shell support base plate 22, and two types of strip materials to process the coil support tube 11 and the outer shell support tube 21. By processing the corresponding connecting parts of each component, adaptation and fastening assembly are achieved, forming the coil support part 1 and the outer shell support part 2. This solves the problems of excessive material loss and resource waste. Parallel operation is possible, greatly shortening the processing flow and improving production efficiency. Each processed component has a simple, regular shape, allowing ordinary workers to learn quickly with minimal training, thus improving the yield rate.

[0101] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0102] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of the present invention, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
