Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of motor assembly equipment, and particularly relates to a stator lead bending mechanism, a stator copper tube assembly equipment and an assembly method thereof. Background Art

[0002] In the EPS motor assembly process, the installation of copper tubes to the stator leads usually requires key steps such as bending the stator leads, installing the copper tubes to the stator leads, pre-pressing the copper tubes and the stator leads, shearing the excess leads protruding from the ends of the copper tubes, welding the copper tubes, and bending the leads at the root of the copper tubes. When bending the stator leads, it is required to first straighten the middle lead, and then bend the two side leads towards the middle lead, and finally make the three leads arranged in a neat straight line and protrude from the stator, providing an accurate alignment basis for the subsequent installation of the copper tubes; when shearing the excess leads protruding from the ends of the copper tubes, it is necessary to ensure that the leads cannot fall into the inner cavity of the stator after shearing; when bending the leads at the root of the copper tubes, it is necessary to ensure that the gap between the top surface of the copper tube and the stator end cover after bending is more than 2 mm.

[0003] The invention patent with the patent number CN117081332B discloses a stator assembly waterproof sleeve equipment and its assembly method, and also discloses a lead bending mechanism. "The lead bending mechanism includes a clamping component for clamping the stator leads and a bending component for driving the stator to rotate to bend the leads. Among them, the bending component includes a rotation driving device. The clamping component clamps and fixes the leads of the stator, and the rotation driving device drives the stator to rotate a certain angle to facilitate bending the leads to the corresponding position." It also discloses a tangent mechanism. "The tangent mechanism includes a flipping driving component for flipping the stator by an angle. The flipping driving component flips the stator by 180 degrees to make the leads of the stator face downwards to prevent debris from falling into the stator during the shearing of the stator leads."

[0004] Although the lead bending mechanism disclosed in the above patent realizes the bending of the leads, it still cannot meet the bending requirements of the EPS motor assembly process; although the tangent mechanism disclosed in the above patent can prevent the leads from falling into the inner cavity of the stator after shearing by flipping the stator, the action of flipping the stator requires additional layout space inside the equipment and additional flipping driving power, and the structural layout of shearing from below will result in a narrow space for equipment debugging and maintenance, making the debugging and maintenance difficult.

[0005] In addition, in the prior art, it is very difficult to stably ensure that the gap between the top surface of the copper tube after bending and the stator end cover is within the required range. Therefore, it is urgent to develop a new stator lead bending mechanism, a stator copper tube assembly equipment and an assembly method thereof to meet the actual production needs.

The pneumatic wire clamping jaw is arranged above the pneumatic scissors, and the clamping jaw position of the pneumatic wire clamping jaw corresponds to the blade head position of the pneumatic scissors up and down.

[0015] The third aspect of the present invention provides an assembly method for a stator assembly copper tube device, which is characterized in that it includes the following steps:

[0016] S1. The first handling mechanism transports the stator from the upper work station to the stator lead bending mechanism for bending the stator leads.

First, the wire clamping claws clamp the leads and then the pneumatic scissors cut; after cutting, the first detection mechanism and the second detection mechanism respectively detect the cutting end face of the stator leads and the number of leads clamped by the wire clamping claws; then the first servo drive device drives the wire clamping claws to throw the cut leads into the waste wire recycling box along a preset path to complete the cutting action of a set of leads.

[0020] S5, the second transport mechanism transports the trimmed stator to the welding mechanism for copper tube welding, and the fifth stator support device positions the stator and drives the stator into the welding position; the welding device completes the welding of the copper tube;

[0021] S6, the second transport mechanism transports the welded stator to the push-down and bending mechanism to bend the lead at the root of the copper tube, and the stator is positioned by the sixth stator support device and driven to rotate to the bending position; the second servo drive device drives the limiter to pass through the copper tube shape through the through hole to enter the root position of the copper tube, and drives the limiter to abut against the lead at the root of the copper tube through the straight edge of the through hole close to the stator transport track, and then the Y-axis push-down drive unit drives the roller to push the copper tube to a certain angle with the abutting part as the axis and then retract it; the second servo drive device drives the limiter to retract, and then the second servo drive device drives the bending assembly to bend the lead at the root of the copper tube to the required angle, thereby completing the bending of the lead at the root of the copper tube.

[0022] Furthermore, the step of first straightening the middle lead and then bending the leads on both sides in step S1 includes:

[0023] S11. The multi-axis driving unit drives the clamping unit to approach the middle lead of a group of stator leads until the middle lead enters the stator lead clamping space;

[0024] S12. The middle position of the three-position solenoid valve is connected, and the push rod supports the middle lead by the spring force;

[0025] S13. The multi-axis driving unit drives the clamping unit to move upward along the Z direction until it is separated from the middle lead, thereby straightening the middle lead;

[0026] S14. The left position of the three-position solenoid valve is turned on, and the axial cylinder drives the ejector rod to retract;

[0027] S15. The multi-axis driving unit drives the clamping unit to approach the left lead or the right lead of a group of stator leads in S11, and controls the clamping unit so that the left lead or the right lead enters the stator lead clamping space;

[0028] S16. The right position of the three-position solenoid valve is turned on, and the axial cylinder drives the push rod to extend, thereby clamping the left lead or the right lead;

[0029] S17. The multi-axis driving unit drives the clamping unit to move along a preset path until the left lead or the right lead is bent and brought close to the middle lead;

[0030] S18. The left position of the three-way solenoid valve is turned on, and the axial cylinder drives the ejector rod to retract, thereby releasing the left lead or the right lead;

[0031] S19. The clamping part is driven by the rotating shaft to rotate 180°;

[0032] S110. Sequentially perform the bending and approaching actions on the other side leads of a group of stator leads in S11 according to steps S15, S16, S17, and S18.

[0033] Beneficial effects:

[0034] 1. The stator lead bending mechanism provided by the present invention drives the clamping part to displace along a preset path through a multi-axis driving part, and can accurately make the stator leads on both sides approach the middle lead to form a group of neatly arranged linear stator leads, ensuring the reliability and consistency of subsequent copper tube installation.

[0035] 2. A spring is arranged between the axial driving cylinder of the stator lead bending mechanism provided by the present invention and the ejector rod. The axial driving cylinder is connected to a three-way solenoid valve of the middle position exhaust type. When the control solenoid valve is in the middle position, the ejector rod clamps the stator lead by spring force, and then the clamping part is driven by the multi-axis driving part to displace upward, so that the function of straightening the stator lead before bending can be realized. Such a structural design integrates the pretreatment action of the stator lead before bending into the bending workstation, not only controlling the manufacturing cost of the equipment, but also making the overall layout of the equipment more compact.

[0036] 3. In the wire cutting mechanism, the pneumatic wire clamping jaws clamp the lead before cutting, cooperate with the pneumatic scissors for accurate cutting, directly process the lead through the vertical cutting action, and avoid debris from falling into the stator inner cavity without flipping the stator, reducing the additional space occupied by the flipping drive assembly, simplifying the equipment structure, and reducing the debugging and maintenance difficulty.

[0037] 4. The pushing and bending mechanism precisely controls the bending position and bending angle of the lead at the root of the copper tube through the coordinated action of the bending component and the pushing component, ensuring that the gap between the top surface of the copper tube and the stator end cover after bending is stable above 2 mm, meeting the assembly process requirements of the EPS motor.

[0038] 5. The key mechanisms (such as the stator lead bending mechanism, the wire cutting mechanism, and the pushing and bending mechanism) all adopt independent servo axis drive and modular structure, which is convenient to adjust parameters or replace components according to process requirements, improve the adaptability of the equipment to different models of stators, and reduce the transformation cost.

[0048] The following further describes in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments. Any improvement or substitution based on the basic spirit of this embodiment still falls within the scope protected by the claims of the present invention.

[0049] Embodiment 1: In the EPS motor assembly process, before assembling the copper tube, three stator leads need to be grouped together, brought closer to each other, and arranged in a neat straight line to provide an accurate alignment basis for the subsequent installation of the copper tube. During the process of bringing them closer to each other, the middle lead needs to be straightened first, and then the two side leads are bent towards the middle lead. This embodiment provides a stator lead bending mechanism to achieve the above process action requirements.

[0050] As Figures 1-3 shown, it includes a clamping part 310 for clamping the stator leads and a multi-axis driving part 320 for driving the clamping part to straighten and bend the stator leads along a preset path.

[0051] Specifically, the multi-axis driving part 320 includes a Y0 servo axis 321 for driving the clamping part 310 to move in the Y direction; above the Y0 servo axis 321, an X0 servo axis 322 is provided for driving the clamping part 310 to move in the X direction, and the X0 servo axis 322 is connected to the output end of the Y0 servo axis 321; above the X0 servo axis 322, a Z0 servo axis 323 is provided for driving the clamping part 310 to move in the Z direction, and the Z0 servo axis 323 is connected to the output end of the X0 servo axis 322; the rotating axis 324 is connected to the output end of the Z0 servo axis 323 and rotates in the Z-X plane. In this embodiment, the Y0 servo axis 321, the X0 servo axis 322, and the Z0 servo axis 323 are all driven by servo motors, and the linear motion of the servo axes is realized in the form of screw-nut transmission; the rotating axis 324 is driven by a servo motor to realize the rotational motion of the rotating axis.

[0052] In addition, the clamping part 310 is arranged in the Y direction and one end is connected to the output end of the rotating axis 324, and the other end is provided with a stator lead clamping space that is open on one side in the X direction and vertically penetrates in the Z direction. The stator lead clamping space is used to introduce the stator lead into the clamping space from the side, and a telescopic component in the Y direction is arranged in the stator lead clamping space. The telescopic component telescopically moves in the Y direction in the stator lead clamping space to clamp or release the stator lead.

[0053] Specifically, the clamping portion includes a bent arm 313 and an axial driving cylinder 312; one end face of the cylinder block of the axial driving cylinder 312 is connected to the output end of the rotating shaft 324 along the Y direction through an adapter 311, and the other end face is connected to the bent arm 313; a stator lead clamping space is provided at the distal end of the free end of the bent arm 313. As an implementation manner of this example, the bent arm 313 includes a bent main body member 3131 and a cover plate member 3132.

The bent fixed end and the cover plate member 3132 are locked together as a whole along the X direction and connected to the cylinder block end face of the axial cylinder along the Y direction. The stator lead clamping space is arranged at the distal end of the bent cantilever end; the bent fixed end and the cover plate member 3132 are respectively provided with a counterbore along the X direction from the locking surface, so as to form a driving cavity of the bent arm. The driving cavity penetrates completely toward the side of the axial cylinder, and the other side is a blind groove. A push rod guiding hole is opened from the bottom surface in the Y direction of the blind groove and penetrates to the stator lead clamping space. The telescopic assembly includes a push rod 314. The front end of the push rod 314 is floatingly connected to the piston rod of the axial driving cylinder 312 in the driving cavity of the bent arm. The rear end of the push rod 314 can slide back and forth along the push rod guiding hole. By driving the front end of the push rod 314 through the axial driving cylinder 312, the rear end of the push rod 314 is driven to slide along the push rod guiding hole and penetrate into the stator lead clamping space. Furthermore, the side wall of the stator lead clamping space is cooperated with the rear end face of the push rod 314 to clamp or release the stator lead.

[0054] Furthermore, a spring is sleeved on the piston rod of the axial driving cylinder. The spring is located in the driving cavity of the bent arm, and one end abuts against the cylinder block end face of the axial driving cylinder, and the other end abuts against the front end face of the push rod; the axial driving cylinder is connected to a three-way solenoid valve of the middle position exhaust type. When the solenoid valve is in the middle position, the push rod clamps the stator lead by the spring force, so that the function of driving the clamping portion 310 to lift the wire upward through the multi-axis driving portion 320 can be realized.

[0055] In this example, the stator lead bending mechanism further includes a first stator support device 330 disposed opposite to the multi-axis driving portion 320. The clamping portion is located above the first stator support device 330, and it includes a base 331. A rotation driving assembly 332 for driving the stator to rotate is provided on the base 331. The output end of the rotation driving assembly is connected to a stator placement hole 333. A group of clamping blocks 334 that can synchronously move toward the center of the stator are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the stator placement hole.

[0056] In this embodiment, the specific operation process of the stator lead bending mechanism is as follows: a. The first stator support device drives the stator to rotate to a bending position, and clamps the stator from both sides through a set of the clamping blocks; b. The multi-axis driving part drives the clamping part to approach the middle lead of a set of stator leads until the middle lead enters the stator lead clamping space; c. The middle position of the three-way solenoid valve is connected, and the ejector rod presses against the middle lead by the spring force; d. The multi-axis driving part drives the clamping part to move vertically upward until it disengages from the middle lead, so as to straighten the middle lead; e. The left position of the three-way solenoid valve is connected, and the axial cylinder drives the ejector rod to retract and leave the stator lead clamping space; f. The multi-axis driving part drives the clamping part to approach the left or right lead of the set of stator leads until the left or right lead enters the stator lead clamping space; g.

The multi-axis driving part drives the clamping part to displace along a preset path until the left or right lead is bent and brought close to the middle lead; i. The left position of the three-way solenoid valve is connected, and the axial cylinder drives the ejector rod to retract and leave the stator lead clamping space, so as to release the left or right lead; j. The clamping part is driven by the rotating shaft to rotate 180°; k. The bending and approaching actions are continuously performed on the other side lead of the set of stator leads in sequence according to steps f, g, h, and i.

[0097] S4. The second handling mechanism transports the stator after pressing to the wire cutting mechanism to cut the excess leads of the extended copper tubes. The stator is positioned by the fourth stator support device and driven to rotate to the wire cutting position. The pneumatic scissors and the wire clamping jaws are driven by the first servo drive device to approach a set of leads along a preset path. First, the wire clamping jaws clamp the leads, and then the pneumatic scissors cut them. After cutting, the first detection mechanism and the second detection mechanism are required to detect the cutting end face of the stator leads and the number of leads clamped by the wire clamping jaws respectively. Then, the first servo drive device drives the wire clamping jaws to throw the cut leads into the waste wire recycling box along the preset path, completing the cutting action of a set of leads.

[0099] S6. The second handling mechanism transports the stator after welding to the pushing and bending mechanism for bending the leads at the root of the copper tube. The stator is positioned by the sixth stator support device and driven to rotate to the bending position. The second servo drive device drives the limiting member to pass through the outer shape of the copper tube through the opened through hole and enter the position at the root of the copper tube. The second servo drive device drives the limiting member to abut against the leads at the root of the copper tube through the straight edge on the side close to the stator handling track of the through hole. Then, the Y-direction pushing drive unit drives the roller to push the copper tube to a certain angle with the abutting part as the axis and then retracts. The second servo drive device drives the limiting member to retract, and then the second servo drive device drives the bending assembly to bend the leads at the root of the copper tube to the required angle, thus completing the bending of the leads at the root of the copper tube.
