TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of high-precision part assembly, and particularly relates to a full-automatic assembly equipment for a planetary gear assembly, an assembly method and the planetary gear assembly. BACKGROUND
[0002] The planetary gear is a special arrangement of gear sets, which mainly comprises a sun gear in the middle and a plurality of planetary gears meshed with the outer side of the sun gear, and the outer part of the plurality of planetary gears is further provided with an inner ring gear concentric with the sun gear, and the inner ring gear is meshed with the plurality of planetary gears, so that the support of the rotating planetary gear, the sun gear or the outer ring gear can present different power output directions and power output gear ratios. The current gear box adopts downward gear as the main transmission structure.
[0003] When the planetary gear is assembled, the existing scheme is to set up a rotating table, install an assembly station on the rotating table, set up different assembly robots on the side of the rotating table, and use the assembly robots to sequentially grasp and place different parts for assembly. However, there are two particularly prominent problems in the existing scheme. Firstly, in the current assembly process, the planetary carrier is usually placed first, and then assembled on the planetary carrier in sequence. Each part assembly process needs to use a visual positioning scheme to ensure the assembly accuracy, which makes the overall control cost and assembly efficiency low. Secondly, in the existing assembly process, each step needs to be quality inspected to determine whether it is qualified before the next assembly is performed, which also causes the assembly speed to be very slow. If there is an error in the previous process, the subsequent parts do not need to be assembled, and if the assembly is continued, it will reduce the speed, and the disassembly at the later stage is more time-consuming and laborious, and the parts are easy to be damaged.
