Upper cover assembly feeding machine

Abstract

This application provides a cover assembly and feeding machine, applied in the field of motor equipment processing technology. The machine uses a worktable for the transport, inspection, and processing of the cover and O-ring. A cover transport and processing component, located on the worktable, transports the cover to the relevant processing position. The component includes a rotating material tray, a YZ transport module, forward and reverse inspection components, and a turntable. The rotating material tray has evenly distributed covers, and one end of the YZ transport module is connected to the rotating material tray. This solution addresses the technical problem in current semi-automated production lines where oiling machines, transport robotic arms, and pressing machines are often isolated units. Workpieces need to frequently move and be repeatedly positioned between different workstations. This not only significantly increases the floor space and hardware investment cost of the entire production line, but each re-clamping inevitably generates cumulative errors, making it difficult to guarantee the concentricity of the final pressing.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of motor processing technology, and in particular to a cover assembly and feeding machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of motors, the assembly of the motor cover and O-ring is a crucial core process that directly affects the dustproof and waterproof performance of the finished motor and its long-term operational stability. However, in the existing traditional production process, this step often faces many thorny issues: most production lines still rely heavily on manual labor. Workers need to manually pick up a brush or use simple tools to apply oil to the surface of the O-ring. This purely manual operation is not only inefficient and time-consuming, but more importantly, it is very easy to cause uneven oil application and inaccurate control of the amount used. This can easily lead to oil dripping on the workshop table, a dirty and messy working environment, and may also cause hidden dangers such as O-ring edge cutting, twisting, or sealing failure during subsequent pressing due to inadequate lubrication. On slightly larger semi-automated production lines, oiling machines, robotic arms for handling, and pressing machines are often isolated individual devices. Workpieces need to be frequently transferred and repeatedly positioned between different workstations. This not only greatly increases the floor space and hardware investment costs of the entire production line, but also inevitably generates cumulative errors with each re-clamping, making it difficult to guarantee the concentricity of the final pressing. At the same time, there is a lack of unified data interaction and linkage monitoring between individual machines. Once a material jam or error occurs in a certain link, the entire line cannot automatically stop and alarm in time. Often, quality inspectors can only detect and trace the problem after a batch of defective products has been produced, resulting in a huge waste of materials. Summary of the Invention

The rotating material tray 2 has top covers evenly distributed on it. One end of the YZ handling module 8 is connected to the rotating material tray 2, and the other end of the YZ handling module 8 is connected to the turntable 3. The front and back detection component 9 is located on the handling path of the YZ handling module 8, and the front and back detection component 9 detects the front and back of the top cover. O-ring feeding and processing assembly, the O-ring feeding and processing assembly is disposed on the worktable 1, the O-ring feeding and processing assembly feeds the O-ring to the relevant processing position and presses it against the upper cover; The O-ring feeding processing assembly includes a large O-ring vibrating plate 4, a small O-ring vibrating plate 5, and two staggered material distribution mechanisms 10. The discharge ends of the large O-ring vibrating plate 4 and the small O-ring vibrating plate 5 are each connected to their respective staggered material distribution mechanisms 10, and the other ends of the two staggered material distribution mechanisms are connected to the turntable 3. The top cover and O-ring assembly are located on the workbench 1 and are used to press-fit the top cover and the O-ring together. The feeding assembly feeds the top cover and the O-ring into the finished product by pressing.

[0017] In this embodiment, the turntable 3 has several carriers arranged along its periphery, and the turntable 3 drives the carriers to rotate counterclockwise.

[0018] In this embodiment, the rotation path of the turntable 3 is sequentially provided with an upper cover oiling component 309, an oiling detection component 310, a large O-ring assembly, a small O-ring assembly, a pressing machine 311, an O-ring detection component 312, and a material unloading XZ transport module 6. The top cover oiling component 309 applies oil to the top cover, the oiling detection component 310 detects the oiled top cover, the large O-ring assembly assembles the top cover with the large O-ring, the small O-ring assembly assembles the top cover with the small O-ring, the pressing machine 311 presses the top cover with the assembled large O-ring and small O-ring, the O-ring detection component 312 detects whether the pressed finished product of the pressing machine 311 is qualified to press the large O-ring and small O-ring with the top cover, and the unloading XZ transport module 6 unloads the qualified pressed finished product to the next process; The grippers of the YZ transport module 8 have a flipping motor.

[0019] Specifically, First, the top covers are arranged sequentially on the outer edge of the rotating material tray 2. The grippers of the YZ transport module 8 pick up the top covers on the rotating material tray 2 and place them on the front and back detection piece 9 to detect the front and back of the top covers. If the top cover is reversed, the flipping motor on the YZ transport module 8 drives the grippers to flip the top cover to the front and then transport it to the first station 301 of the turntable 3. If the top cover is upright, it is directly transported to the first station 301 of the turntable 3 by the YZ transport module 8. When the top cover is facing forward and placed on the first station 301 of the turntable 3, it will rotate counterclockwise from the first station 301 to different positions and stations as the turntable 3 rotates. That is, when the first station 301 enters the first station 302, the first station 302 is the oiling station. The top cover is oiled by the top cover oiling component 309. Then the first station 302 is rotated to the third station 303, where the oiling detection component 310 checks the oiling process. After the oiling process, the top cover is inspected to ensure it is properly coated. Following inspection at the third station 303, the top cover from station 303 moves to the fourth station 304 via turntable 3. At the fourth station 304, the large O-ring vibrating plate 4 discharges large O-rings. These large O-rings are then distributed by the misaligned material distribution mechanism 10, with one large O-ring being distributed onto the top cover at the fourth station 304 for assembly. The top cover and large O-ring assembled at the fourth station 304 then move to the fourth station 304 via turntable 3. Similarly, at station 305, the small O-rings are discharged from the vibrating disc 5. These small O-rings are then distributed to the upper cover of station 305 by the misaligned material distribution mechanism 10. At this point, the top of the upper cover has both large and small O-rings. The material from station 305 then enters station 306 via the turntable 3. Station 306 is a pressing machine 311, which presses and combines the upper cover, large O-rings, and small O-rings to form... The pressed finished product moves from the sixth station 306 to the seventh station 307 along with the turntable 3. The seventh station 307 is the O-ring inspection piece 312. The O-ring inspection piece 312 is used to check whether the large and small O-rings of the pressed finished product on the seventh station 307 are qualified. After passing the inspection, the pressed finished product on the seventh station 307 moves to the eighth station 308 along with the turntable. In the eighth station 308, it enters the next process along with the unloading XZ transport module 6.

[0020] In this embodiment, it also includes a belt conveyor 11, a positioning detection component 12, an equidistant transport assembly 13, an angle-finding precision positioning component 14, an XZ transport assembly 15, and a riveting machine 7; The conveyor belt 11 is vertically positioned at the other end of the material unloading XZ transport module 6 located on the turntable 3. The positioning detection component 12 is positioned on the conveyor belt 11. The equidistant transport component 13 is horizontally positioned on one side of the conveyor belt 11. One transport position of the equidistant transport component 13 is connected to the conveyor belt 11, and the other transport position of the equidistant transport component 13 is connected to the angle-finding precision positioning component 14. The riveting machine 7 is positioned on one side of the angle-finding precision positioning component 14, and the XZ transport component 15 is positioned between the riveting machine 7 and the angle-finding precision positioning component 14.

[0021] Specifically, When the pressed finished product is transported to the conveyor belt 11 by the feeding XZ transport module 6, the conveyor belt 11 will drive the pressed finished product to be positioned on the positioning detection component 12. After positioning, the pressed finished product is picked up by the equidistant transport component 13. After picking up the pressed finished product, it is transported to the angle positioning precision positioning component 14 for precision positioning. After precision positioning, the precision-positioned pressed finished product is transported to the riveting machine 7 by the XZ transport component 15 for riveting, thus completing all the above-mentioned work processes.
