Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) rotor assembly technology, and in particular to a modular UAV rotor high-efficiency assembly and testing equipment and method. Background Technology

[0002] The brushless motor is the core component of the FPV drone's power system. Its assembly quality directly determines the drone's flight speed, endurance, and flight stability. Therefore, FPV drones impose stringent standards on the rotational speed, power density, and vibration amplitude of the brushless motors they are equipped with.

[0003] Currently, the core assembly and testing processes of brushless motors, including shaft pressing, housing gluing, ferromagnetic steel assembly, product runout testing, and shaft height testing, generally rely on manual operation or manual assistance with semi-automatic tooling fixtures. The industry has not yet formed a mature automated production line and is still dominated by manual assembly line production mode.

[0004] Under this production model, a complete motor assembly line requires more than twenty processes, and a skilled worker can only assemble a little over a hundred units per day, resulting in low production efficiency that cannot keep up with the rapid growth of the market. Furthermore, repetitive labor easily leads to operator fatigue, and individual differences in operating techniques among personnel result in problems such as large assembly errors, shaft misalignment, and uneven glue application on the casing during motor assembly. This directly causes excessive vibration amplitude and unstable power density in the motor products, failing to meet the high-performance requirements of FPV drones and even potentially leading to fatal risks such as flight malfunctions. Moreover, the randomness of manual operation results in poor consistency of various performance parameters and a high defect rate in the motor products, further restricting the large-scale mass production of brushless drive motors. Therefore, the need for automated and standardized production transformation of brushless drive motors is extremely urgent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, and to propose a modular unmanned aerial vehicle rotor high-efficiency assembly and testing equipment and method.

[0047] A method for efficient assembly and testing of modular UAV rotors, comprising a modular UAV rotor efficient assembly and testing equipment, mainly including the following steps:

[0048] At the man-machine housing and bracket station of the eight-station turntable mechanism, the drone rotor housing is manually placed on the preset bracket to complete the initial positioning of the housing and bracket.

[0049] As the eight-station turntable mechanism rotates, the housing and bracket, after being positioned, move to the housing front and back detection mechanism. The housing orientation is detected by the housing orientation CCD detection device. If the housing orientation is not qualified, the housing is flipped and adjusted by the housing orientation adjustment structure to make the housing in the correct assembly orientation.

After the glue application is completed, the casing is transferred to the eight-station turntable mechanism for casing glue application and material picking and pre-assembly, completing the pre-assembly and positioning of the casing and bracket.

[0052] The eight-station turntable mechanism continues to rotate, moving the bracket assembly pre-installed with the housing and rotor shaft to the housing pressing station. The housing is pressed into the bracket by the pressing structure at this station, thus achieving the initial fixation of the housing and the bracket.

[0053] The eight-station turntable mechanism transfers the initially fixed product components to the product component unloading station. The pressing and testing mechanism performs secondary pressing on the housing and bracket, and the rotor shaft and bracket in the product components to ensure assembly tightness. At the same time, the pressing product components are tested for assembly accuracy to screen out qualified products.

[0055] The parts not covered in this device are the same as or can be implemented using existing technologies. This invention uses an eight-station turntable mechanism to drive the orderly flow of workpieces. Combined with the modular design of the shaft feeding mechanism, the housing gluing mechanism, the pressing and inspection mechanism, and the automatic magnet insertion module, the core processes of rotor assembly, such as feeding, gluing, pressing, inspection, and magnet insertion, are integrated into an automated process, replacing the traditional manual and semi-automatic production mode. Combined with the design of dual gripping robots and multiple parallel workstations, the unit time output is greatly improved to meet the needs of market expansion.

[0056] The equipment integrates multiple sets of visual inspection and precise positioning mechanisms, coupled with secondary pressing and automatic error correction functions, which effectively avoids various errors caused by manual operation, improves product performance consistency, reduces defect rate, and ensures that the product meets the stringent performance requirements of FPV drones.

[0057] By using automated robotic arms to complete repetitive tasks, only initial positioning needs to be done manually, significantly reducing the number of manual interventions and the intensity of operations, and reducing reliance on skilled workers; a full-process quality control system is built, and through multi-node detection and automatic diversion of non-conforming products, non-conforming products are prevented from flowing into subsequent processes; automated control enables the standardized setting and recording of operating parameters, improving the stability and traceability of the production process, and providing data support for production optimization.

A bracket for placing the machine housing is provided at the man-mounted machine housing and bracket station 101.

[0073] The casing front and back detection mechanism includes a casing orientation CCD detection device 102 and a casing orientation adjustment structure 103 installed on an eight-station turntable mechanism 1. The casing orientation CCD detection device 102 is used to detect the front and back of the casing, and the casing orientation adjustment structure 103 is used to flip the casing.

[0074] The eight-station turntable mechanism 1 rotates at a preset speed, driving the bracket and housing to each station in sequence. After the operator completes the initial positioning of the housing and bracket at the housing and bracket station 101, the turntable moves them to the housing front and back inspection station. The housing orientation CCD detection device 102 captures and identifies the housing orientation. If it is determined to be unqualified, the housing orientation adjustment structure 103 automatically flips the housing to the correct orientation. Then, the eight-station turntable mechanism 1 moves the qualified housing and bracket to the shaft installation station 104.

[0075] The shaft loading mechanism 2, matched with the shaft loading station 104, is used for gluing and loading the rotor shaft. The shaft loading mechanism 2 includes: an automatic shaft lifting and loading device 201 for loading the rotor shaft; a shaft orientation vision positioning mechanism 202 for detecting the orientation of the rotor shaft; an automatic shaft orientation adjustment mechanism 203 for adjusting the orientation of defective rotor shafts; a dual-grip automatic shaft loading robot 204 for gripping the rotor shaft at the automatic shaft orientation adjustment mechanism 203; and an automatic shaft gluing rotation mechanism 2. 05, used to rotate the rotor shaft gripped by the dual-grip automatic feeding robot 204; 206, automatic glue application mechanism for shaft riveting position, used to apply glue to the rotor shaft rotating on the automatic glue application rotating mechanism 205; 207, visual inspection mechanism for shaft glue application effect, used to visually inspect the glue application points on the rotor shaft; 208, automatic shaft loading bracket station, matched with shaft loading station 104, used to place the rotor shaft into the station; 209, shaft pre-pressing station, used to pre-press the rotor shaft into the station;

[0076] The automatic shaft lifting and feeding device 201 transports rotor shafts in batches. The shaft direction vision positioning mechanism 202 detects the orientation of each rotor shaft, and those that are not qualified are corrected by the shaft direction automatic adjustment mechanism 203. The dual-grip shaft automatic feeding robot 204 grabs the corrected rotor shafts and transfers them to the shaft glue application automatic rotation mechanism 205. During the rotation of the rotor shaft, the shaft riveting position automatic glue application mechanism 206 completes precise glue application, and the shaft glue application effect vision inspection mechanism 207 checks the integrity and uniformity of the glue application points. The qualified rotor shafts are placed into the corresponding bracket assembly positions of the eight-station turntable mechanism 1 shaft loading station 104 through the shaft automatic loading bracket station 208, and finally pre-pressed by the shaft pre-pressing station 209 to prevent displacement during circulation.

[0077] The casing gluing mechanism 3, matched with the casing gluing and pre-assembly station 105, is used to glu the rotor casing. The casing gluing mechanism 3 includes: a glue supply system 305 for storing glue; a casing loading and unloading robot 301 for gripping the casing; a gluing rotary platform 302 for rotating and gluing the casing gripped by the casing loading and unloading robot 301; an automatic ejector-type dispensing valve 303 for controlling the on / off state of the casing during gluing; and a gluing vision inspection mechanism 304 for visually inspecting the amount of glue applied to the casing. The casing pressing station 106 is used to press the glued casing into the bracket, and two sets of the gluing rotary platform 302, the automatic ejector-type dispensing valve 303, and the gluing vision inspection mechanism 304 are provided.

[0078] The glue supply system 305 continuously supplies glue for the glue application process. The housing loading and unloading robot 301 picks up the housing after front and back adjustment from the flow station of the eight-station turntable mechanism 1 and transfers it to the glue application rotary platform 302. The two sets of glue application rotary platforms 302 work in parallel, driving the housing to rotate while the automatic pin-type glue dispensing valve 303 precisely controls the glue flow and dispensing amount. After glue application is completed, the glue application vision inspection mechanism 304 checks whether the glue amount meets the standard. The qualified housing is transferred by the housing loading and unloading robot 301 to the housing glue application and glue application pre-assembly station 105 of the eight-station turntable mechanism 1 to complete the pre-assembly. Then, the eight-station turntable mechanism 1 sends it to the housing pressing station 106, where the housing is pressed into the bracket through the pressing structure of the station to achieve initial fixation.

[0079] The pressing and testing mechanism 4, matched with the product component unloading station 107, is used for pressing and testing the rotor housing and rotor shaft. The pressing and testing mechanism 4 includes: an automatic shaft riveting station 404, used for automatically pressing the housing and bracket, and automatically pressing the rotor shaft and bracket.

[0080] Among them, the component three gripping and unloading robot 401 includes unloading robot first execution end 402, unloading robot second execution end 403, and unloading robot third execution end 405. Unloading robot first execution end 402 is used to move the workpiece on the product component unloading station 107 to the shaft automatic riveting station 404. Unloading robot second execution end 403 is used to move the workpiece on the shaft automatic riveting station 404 to the housing circular runout and shaft pressing height detection station 406. Unloading robot third execution end 405 is used to move unqualified workpieces at the housing circular runout and shaft pressing height detection station 406 to the NG throwing conveyor belt 407 and qualified workpieces to the component CCD positioning mechanism 408.

[0081] The eight-station turntable mechanism 1 transfers the initially fixed product components to the product component unloading station 107. The first execution end 402 of the component three gripping and unloading robot 401 grips the workpiece and transfers it to the shaft automatic riveting station 404 to complete the secondary pressing of the housing and bracket, and the rotor shaft and bracket. The second execution end 403 of the unloading robot transfers the pressed workpiece to the housing circular runout and shaft pressing height detection station 406 to detect the assembly accuracy, with a detection accuracy of ≤5μm. If the detection is unqualified, the third execution end 405 of the unloading robot transfers it to the NG throwing conveyor belt 407 for recycling. If it is qualified, the third execution end 405 of the unloading robot transfers the workpiece to the component CCD positioning mechanism 408, where the position is located by capturing the internal features of the bracket through the bottom vision. The positioning coordinate deviation will be adjusted in real time by the rotation adjustment mechanism, and the positioning accuracy can reach ±0.1mm.

[0082] The automatic magnet insertion module 5 includes: a positioning NG automatic throwing conveyor belt 502 for conveying unqualified workpieces at the component CCD positioning mechanism 408; two sets of automatic magnet insertion platforms 503 for automatically inserting magnets into the pressed workpieces; wherein, the upper end of the automatic magnet insertion platform 503 is equipped with a magnet insertion platform CCD automatic positioning structure 504, a magnet insertion auxiliary pressing and unloading robot 505; an automatic magnet expansion mechanism 506 for reinforcing the magnets after insertion; an automatic magnet pressing mechanism 508 for pressing the magnets after expansion; a finished product output pull belt 509 for transporting the magnetized finished products; a dual gripping and conveying robot 507; and a magnetic levitation high-precision transfer robot 501 for transporting the workpieces at the component CCD positioning mechanism 408 to the positioning NG automatic throwing conveyor belt 502 or the automatic magnet insertion platform 503.

[0083] The magnetic levitation high-precision transfer robot 501 grasps the workpiece at the CCD positioning mechanism 408. If the positioning test fails, it is transferred to the positioning NG automatic throwing conveyor belt 502. If it passes, it is transferred to two sets of parallel-working automatic magnet insertion platforms 503. After the CCD automatic positioning structure 504 of the magnet insertion platform accurately positions the workpiece, it completes the automatic magnet insertion operation. The magnet insertion auxiliary pressing and unloading robot 505 assists in fixing. The magnetized workpiece is transferred by the magnetic levitation high-precision transfer robot 501 to the automatic magnet expansion mechanism 506 to reinforce the magnet. Then, it is sent by the dual gripping and conveying robot 507 to the automatic pressing magnet mechanism 508. The product magnetic sheet is pressed into the top of the bracket by the combination of electric cylinder and pressure sensor with customized pressing magnet fixture. Finally, the dual gripping and conveying robot 507 grabs the magnetized rotor finished product and places it on the finished product output pull belt 509 for output.
