Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor assembly technology, specifically to an automated assembly equipment for motor components. Background Technology

[0002] The shaver motor assembly is the core power source of the shaver. Its assembly process typically involves multiple steps, including installing the motor mount, tightening two screws, pressing in the knurled needles, pressing in the small gear while simultaneously applying waterproof oil, and finally pressing in the large gear. Due to the numerous steps and the precision involved, most manufacturers still use manual assembly line operations. Each workstation requires a dedicated operator, and a total of five employees are needed to maintain a basic production rhythm. On the one hand, prolonged repetitive manual work easily leads to operator fatigue, causing human errors such as screw torque deviation, uneven pressing force, and oiling trajectory deviation, resulting in poor product consistency and high rework rates. On the other hand, labor costs continue to rise, and the training period for skilled workers is long, making it difficult to adapt to the needs of large-scale flexible production.

[0003] Rotary or multi-station linear automated assembly equipment has been introduced, integrating various processes onto a single platform via cam indexing plates or servo rotary tables to reduce manual intervention. However, the oiling process in existing equipment is usually set up independently and is not synchronized with the pressing process. This makes the oiling position susceptible to deformation caused by gear pressing, resulting in poor oil film uniformity. Excess grease can also contaminate adjacent stations, increasing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance. In addition, the spatial layout of each assembly station is mostly radially dispersed, resulting in a large overall equipment footprint and low integration, making it unsuitable for manufacturing companies with limited workshop space.

[0020] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-14 As shown, this invention provides an automated assembly equipment for motor components, including a main body 10 and a frame 11. A dividing positioning component is provided in the middle of the main body 10.

The assembly integration system includes a feeding unit, a bracket assembly unit, a bracket screw assembly unit, a pinion gear assembly unit, a knurled shaft assembly unit, a large gear assembly unit, and an unloading unit. It sequentially completes the feeding of motor components, bracket assembly and screw tightening, pinion gear installation, knurled shaft oiling and pressing, large gear installation, and finished product unloading. The dividing positioning component orderly separates the various assembly stations, causing the workpieces to be assembled to rotate sequentially to the corresponding processing positions of each assembly unit. Each unit synchronously completes its corresponding assembly process, achieving fully automated assembly of motor components from parts to finished products. This effectively replaces the traditional manual assembly operation mode, improves assembly accuracy and efficiency, and reduces labor production costs.

[0022] The indexing and positioning assembly includes an indexing turntable 20 and a fixed plate 21. The fixed plate 21 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the equipment body 10 via a fixed spindle 211. The indexing turntable 20 is rotatably mounted on the outer periphery of the fixed spindle 211 and is driven by an indexing motor. Several mounting seats 201 are evenly distributed circumferentially on the indexing turntable 20. Each mounting seat 201 is used to fix the motor 12 to be assembled. The indexing motor can drive the indexing turntable 20 to rotate intermittently according to the set assembly rhythm. Each rotation is a fixed angle, which accurately transports the workpiece that has completed the previous process to the next assembly station, ensuring the positioning accuracy between each station, avoiding positional deviations that affect the assembly operation of each assembly unit, and ensuring that the assembly actions of each unit can be accurately connected, thus ensuring the stable and orderly operation of the automated assembly process.

The robotic arm 30 is fixedly installed inside the main body 10 of the equipment. A movable mechanical gripper 301 is provided at the end of the robotic arm 30. The four-degree-of-freedom mechanical gripper 301 picks up the motors 12 and places them on the mounting base 201. The mounting base 201 has a groove with the same shape as the motor 12 to restrict the motor 12. When the indexing turntable 20 rotates, the motor 12 will not shift and cause the installation position to change.

[0024] The support assembly unit includes a support vibratory feeder 40 and a support transfer mechanism 41. The support vibratory feeder 40 is located inside the main body 10 of the equipment, where the support 13 is stored and arranged in an orderly manner. The support transfer mechanism 41 is fixedly installed on a fixed plate 21. The discharge end of the support vibratory feeder 40 is fixedly provided with a support feeding track 401 for individually dividing the support 13.

[0025] The bracket screw assembly unit includes a screw vibratory feeder 50 and a support structure frame 51. Both the screw vibratory feeder 50 and the support structure frame 51 are located inside the main body 10 of the equipment. There are two sets of screw vibratory feeders 50. Each set of screw vibratory feeders 50 has a screw feeding track 501 at the discharge end. The screw feeding track 501 passes through the support structure frame 51 and conveys the screws 14 through the screw feeding track 501. A pushing and rotating mechanism 52 is slidably mounted on the support frame 51. The pushing and rotating mechanism 52 is equipped with two sets of rotating motors 521, a drive shaft 522, and an electric screwdriver 523. The electric screwdriver 523 is arranged along the radial direction of the indexing turntable 20. The rotating motors 521 drive the electric screwdriver 523 to rotate through the drive shaft 522. Each screw feeding track 501 is also equipped with a screw cylinder 53 at its end. The output end of the screw cylinder 53 is fixed with a guide block 531. One end of the guide block 531 is also fixed with a feeding port 532. The feeding ports 532 are staggered. Through the feeding ports 532, a single screw 14 can be pushed to align with the conveying electric screwdriver 523. After the screw 14 is delivered to the position, the electric screwdriver 523 is driven by the rotating motor 521 to rotate to the position facing the screw mounting hole of the corresponding bracket in the mounting base 201. Then, the pushing and rotating mechanism 52 drives the electric screwdriver 523 to move as a whole, screwing the screw 14 into the preset installation position to complete the screw fastening, thereby realizing the automated assembly operation of the bracket screw.

[0026] The pinion assembly unit includes a pinion vibratory feeder 60 and a pinion transfer mechanism 61. The pinion vibratory feeder 60 is located inside the main body 10 of the equipment, and the pinion transfer mechanism 61 is fixedly mounted on the fixed plate 21. A pinion feeding track 601 is fixedly provided at the discharge end of the pinion vibratory feeder 60 for storing and orderly arranging the pinions 15. A pinion suction nozzle assembly 611 is fixedly provided at the output end of the pinion transfer mechanism 61 for sucking up the pinions 15 and transferring them to the mounting base 201 for assembly. During operation, the pinion vibratory feeder 60 continuously conveys the orderly arranged pinions 15 to the discharge end. After the previous step of locking the bracket screws is completed, the indexing turntable 20 drives the workpiece to be assembled to rotate to the pinion assembly station. The pinion suction nozzle assembly 611 moves to the discharge end of the pinion feeding track 601 under the drive of the pinion material transfer mechanism 61, picks up the single pinion 15 in place, and then drives the pinion 15 to move to the corresponding installation position on the workpiece to complete the precise installation of the pinion 15, thereby realizing the automated material picking and assembly operation of the pinion 15.

[0027] The knurled shaft assembly unit includes a knurled shaft vibratory feeder 70 and a knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71. The knurled shaft vibratory feeder 70 is housed within the main body 10 of the equipment, and the knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71 is fixedly mounted on a fixed plate 21. A feeding guide 701 is fixedly provided at the discharge end of the knurled shaft vibratory feeder 70, extending into the knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71. Several knurled shafts 16 are stored in the knurled shaft vibratory feeder 70 and are conveyed in an orderly manner through the feeding guide 701. A knurled shaft pressing assembly 711 is provided at the output end of the knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71. One end of the feeding guide 701 is installed in the knurled shaft pressing assembly 711, and the knurled shafts are conveyed through the knurled shaft pressing assembly 711. The component 711 individually assembles the knurled shaft 16 onto the motor 12. The knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71 presses the knurled shaft 16 into the corresponding position in the bracket 13 via a top shaft. The top shaft is arranged side by side with the connection between the feeding guide 701 and the knurled shaft pressing assembly 711. The knurled shaft pressing assembly 711 is provided with a pushing mechanism, which can push the knurled shaft 16 conveyed from the feeding guide 701 to the position directly opposite the top shaft. At this time, the top shaft can push out the knurled shaft 16 for installation. The knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71 is also fixed with a lubricating oil cylinder 72. The output end of the lubricating oil cylinder 72 is provided with a lubricating oil nozzle 721, which is filled with lubricating oil for oiling.

[0028] After the bracket 13 and pinion 15 are assembled in sequence, the indexing turntable 20 drives the workpiece to the knurled shaft assembly station. The knurled shaft vibratory plate 70 transports the knurled shaft 16 stored inside to the knurled shaft pressing assembly 711 in an orderly manner through the feeding guide 701. The pushing mechanism pushes the individual knurled shaft 16 to the position directly opposite the top shaft. The top shaft is pushed forward under the drive of the knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71, accurately pressing the knurled shaft 16 into the preset installation position in the gear set bracket 13, completing the pressing operation of the knurled shaft 16. Then, the lubricating oil cylinder 72 drives the lubricating oil nozzle 721 to move to the assembly position of the knurled shaft 16, and evenly applies lubricating oil to the mating surface of the pinion 15, completing the lubrication pretreatment of the pinion 15. This realizes the automatic feeding, pressing and oiling of the knurled shaft 16 and the pinion 15, eliminating manual operation and improving assembly accuracy and efficiency.

[0029] The large gear assembly unit includes a large gear vibratory plate 80 and a large gear transfer mechanism 81. The discharge end of the large gear vibratory plate 80 is fixedly provided with a large gear feeding track 801. The large gear vibratory plate 80 is used to store large gears 17, which are transported in an orderly manner through the large gear feeding track 801. The large gear transfer mechanism 81 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 21. The output end of the large gear transfer mechanism 81 is provided with a large gear suction nozzle assembly 811, which is used to pick up the large gears 17 and transfer them to the mounting base 201 to complete the assembly.

[0030] The unloading unit includes an unloading conveyor belt 90 and an unloading cylinder 91. The unloading conveyor belt 90 is located inside the main body 10 and extends to the outside of the main body 10. The unloading cylinder 91 is fixedly installed on the fixed plate 21. The output end of the unloading cylinder 91 is provided with an unloading gripper 911, which is used to grab the finished product and place it on the unloading conveyor belt 90. A conveyor belt motor 901 is provided on the outside of the unloading conveyor belt 90. The unloading conveyor belt 90 is driven by the conveyor belt motor 901 to transport the finished product to the outside.

[0031] After the operation is completed, the indexing turntable 20 drives the assembled workpiece to the large gear assembly station. The large gear vibrating plate 80 arranges the large gears 17 stored inside in an orderly manner and feeds them out one by one through the large gear feeding track 801. The large gear transfer mechanism 81 drives the large gear suction nozzle assembly 811 at the output end to move to the discharge end of the large gear feeding track 801, picks up the single large gear 17 in place, and then moves the large gear 17 to align with the preset installation position of the gear assembly and presses it together, completing the automatic assembly of the large gear 17. At this point, the motor 12 is completely installed. Then, the indexing turntable 20 drives the fully assembled workpiece to the unloading station. The unloading cylinder 91 drives the unloading gripper 911 to grab the finished workpiece and place it on the unloading conveyor belt 90 extending to the outside. The conveyor belt motor 901 drives the conveyor belt to run, automatically transporting the finished workpiece to the outside of the equipment, waiting for the next process. The entire process does not require manual loading and unloading and assembly, effectively reducing labor costs, avoiding errors caused by manual assembly, and improving the overall assembly stability and production efficiency.

[0032] Working principle: The indexing turntable 20 rotates intermittently according to a fixed angle, while the fixed plate 21 remains stationary. All feed and retraction in this application are achieved by controlling the electric cylinder or pneumatic cylinder through PLC.

[0033] Workers or external automatic feeding equipment place motors 12 on the arrangement plate 31. Then, the mechanical gripper 301 on the robotic arm 30 is controlled by the PLC control system to grab the motors 12 arranged on the plate 31 and place them on the corresponding mounting base 201 on the indexing turntable 20. Then, the indexing turntable 20 starts to rotate, transporting the motors 12 to the next work station.

[0034] The aforementioned motor 12 will move to the assembly station of the bracket assembly unit. During the installation of the motor bracket, the bracket 13 is transported to the pick-up position via the bracket vibrating plate 40. The bracket feeding track 401 transports the brackets 13 from the pick-up position to the pick-up position in an orderly manner. Then, the bracket transfer mechanism 41 located on the fixed plate 21 is activated, driving the bracket suction nozzle assembly 411 to move to the pick-up position and pick up the bracket 13 there. Then, it moves to the top of the motor 12 and presses the bracket 13 down onto the motor 12 to complete the assembly of the bracket 13. Then, the indexing turntable 20 starts to rotate and moves the assembled component to the next station.

[0035] The aforementioned components will move to the assembly station of the bracket screw assembly unit. The bracket screw 14 is conveyed to the station of the feeding port 532 by the screw vibrating plate 50 and the screw feeding track 501. Then, the push rotating mechanism 52 moves downward as a whole, while the screw cylinders 53 on both sides drive the guide block 531 to move towards the middle. At this time, the feeding port 532 carrying the screw 14 is pushed synchronously by the guide block 531, so that the feeding port 532 moves directly below the electric screwdriver 523 and also directly above the aforementioned components. Then, the push rotating mechanism 52 presses down as a whole, driving the electric screwdriver 523 to move to the feeding port 532 and abut against the screw 14. Then, the rotating motor 521 rotates, driving the electric screwdriver 523 to rotate through the transmission shaft 522, so that the screw 14 can be screwed into the corresponding position of the bracket 13, so that the two screws 14 are locked into the motor seat at the same time, and the bracket 13 is tightly fixed on the motor 12, completing the assembly of the bracket screw. Then, the indexing turntable 20 starts to rotate and moves the assembled component to the next station.

[0036] The aforementioned components will move to the assembly station of the pinion assembly unit. Similarly, the pinion 15 is transported to the material-to-be-picked position via the pinion vibrating plate 60 and the pinion feeding track 601. Then, the pinion transfer mechanism 61 drives the pinion suction nozzle assembly 611 to move and pick up the pinion 15 through negative pressure or magnetic attraction, carrying the pinion 15 directly above the component. Then, the pinion 15 is pressed into the corresponding position in the bracket 13, thus completing the assembly of the pinion 15. Then, the indexing turntable 20 starts to rotate and moves the assembled component to the next station.

[0037] The aforementioned components will move to the assembly station of the knurled shaft assembly unit. The knurled shaft 16 is conveyed to the knurled shaft pressing assembly 711 through the knurled shaft vibratory plate 70 and the feeding guide 701. Then, the knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71 will drive the knurled shaft pressing assembly 711 to move directly above the component in the mounting base 201. Then, the top shaft in the knurled shaft transfer mechanism 71 will abut against the knurled shaft 16 in the knurled shaft pressing assembly 711, push out the knurled shaft 16, and press it into the designed hole of the motor 12, completing the assembly of the knurled shaft 16. During the assembly process of the knurled shaft 16, the lubricating oil cylinder 72 will also work synchronously, injecting lubricating oil into the surface of the pinion 15 through the lubricating oil nozzle 721. Then, the indexing turntable 20 will start to rotate and move the assembled component to the next station.

[0038] The aforementioned components will move to the assembly station of the large gear assembly unit. Similarly, the large gear 17 will be conveyed to the material to be picked up by the large gear vibrating plate 80 and the large gear feeding track 801. Then, the large gear transfer mechanism 81 will be activated, driving the large gear suction nozzle assembly 811 to move directly above the material to be picked up on the large gear feeding track 801. The large gear 17 will be picked up by airflow negative pressure or magnetic attraction, and then moved directly above the aforementioned components to press the large gear 17 into the bracket 13, completing the assembly of the large gear 17. At this point, the assembly of the motor 12 is completely completed. This finished component will continue to be moved to the next station by rotating the indexing turntable 20.

[0039] The finished component moves to the unloading unit, where the unloading cylinder 91 activates, driving the unloading gripper 911 to grab the component and place it onto the unloading conveyor belt 90. The conveyor belt motor 901 starts, synchronously following the starting intervals of the indexing turntable 20, transporting the component to the outside and completing the entire workpiece assembly process. No manual assembly is required throughout; only manual addition of materials to the vibratory feeder is needed, significantly reducing worker workload. Simultaneously, the intermittent rotation of the multi-station indexing turntable 20 enables continuous assembly, with each assembly station operating synchronously, eliminating waiting times between processes and increasing assembly efficiency. Furthermore, all assembly stations are integrated into the same main body of the equipment, occupying less space, resulting in higher overall assembly precision, reducing errors caused by manual assembly, and improving the product's pass rate after assembly.

[0040] In summary, this automated motor assembly equipment, with each assembly unit distributed circumferentially around the indexing and positioning component, sequentially completes the fully automated assembly operation from parts loading to finished product unloading, replacing the traditional manual assembly mode, reducing labor costs. At the same time, the synchronous operation of each station, combined with the precise intermittent rotation of the indexing and positioning component, ensures the positioning accuracy of each assembly process, improves the overall assembly efficiency and accuracy, reduces the error of manual assembly, effectively improves the qualification rate of the assembled product, and has a high degree of overall structural integration, occupies less space, and can well meet the production needs of batch automated assembly.
