Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of motor manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a fully automatic winding processing equipment for motorcycle starter motor rotors. Background Technology

[0002] As a core component of the internal combustion engine starting system, the motorcycle starter motor's performance directly affects the vehicle's starting efficiency and reliability. The rotor is the key rotating component of the starter motor, and the winding quality of its coils determines the motor's electromagnetic conversion efficiency, operational smoothness, and service life. In existing motor manufacturing processes, the rotor winding process typically relies on semi-automated equipment or manual assistance. The conventional technical approach involves using a dedicated winding machine to fix the rotor shaft end, controlling the movement trajectory of the guide pins via a program to wind the coil, and then having an operator or a simple robotic arm remove the finished product and manually or with the aid of simple tooling to place it into a new rotor to be processed. This production mode constitutes the mainstream rotor coil manufacturing process in the industry and is widely used in the mass production of various small and medium-sized motors.

[0003] However, in long-term industrial practice, the winding process of motorcycle starter motor rotors faces the common challenges of limited production efficiency and insufficient automation continuity. Because the processes of feeding, positioning, winding, and unloading often suffer from poor coordination or reliance on manual intervention, it is difficult to further improve the overall production cycle time. Furthermore, during continuous operation, fluctuations in processing consistency are easily caused by differences in human operation or equipment start-stop intervals, making it difficult to meet the stringent requirements of modern large-scale intelligent manufacturing for unmanned operations. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a fully automatic winding processing equipment for motorcycle starter motor rotors, which can solve the problems of low winding efficiency, excessive manual intervention, and insufficient automation in the existing technology for motorcycle starter motor rotors.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a fully automatic winding processing equipment for motorcycle starter motor rotors.

[0006] The first aspect of this application provides a fully automatic winding processing equipment for motorcycle starter motor rotors, including a support assembly, a feeding assembly, a winding assembly, a discharging assembly, and a replenishing assembly. The support assembly includes a base, a support frame, and a rotating table. The support frame is fixedly connected to the base and located on one side of the base. The rotating table is rotatably mounted on the support frame for pre-fixing the rotor. The feeding assembly includes a lifter, a rotator, a rotating feeding plate, multiple support rods, and multiple grippers. The lifter is located on one side of the support frame, the rotator is mounted on the lifter, the rotating feeding plate is connected to the output end of the rotator, multiple support rods are fixed around the rotating feeding plate, and multiple grippers are respectively mounted on the multiple support rods for picking up and placing rotors. The winding assembly is located on one side of the rotating table for winding the rotor. The discharging assembly is located at a first position on the rotating feeding plate for removing the wound rotor from the rotating feeding plate. The replenishing assembly is located at a second position on the rotating feeding plate for replenishing the rotors to be wound onto the grippers.

[0007] The rotating table includes a rotating table body, a rotating motor, and a reducer. The rotating table body is rotatably mounted on a support frame, the reducer is connected to the rotating table body, and the rotating motor is connected to the reducer.

[0008] The gripper includes two gripping blocks and a first spring. The two gripping blocks are slidably mounted on the support rod, and the first spring is positioned between the two gripping blocks. The gripping blocks have wedge-shaped surfaces, and a pushing structure is provided on the support assembly. When the wedge-shaped surfaces contact the pushing structure, the two gripping blocks move away to place the rotor onto the rotating table body.

[0009] The pushing structure includes a pushing block, a pushing cylinder, and a second spring. The pushing block is slidably mounted on the support frame. The output end of the pushing cylinder is connected to the pushing block. The second spring is located between the pushing block and the pushing cylinder. When the rotating feeding plate is in the feeding state, the pushing block is in the third position. In the first position, it pushes the two clamping blocks away from each other. When the rotating feeding plate is in the picking state, the pushing block moves to the fourth position to release the contact with the clamping blocks.

[0010] The lifting device includes a lifting cylinder, a lifting plate, and a return spring. The lifting cylinder is fixed to the support frame, the lifting plate is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder, and the return spring is located between the lifting cylinder and the lifting plate.

[0011] The rotating device includes a rotating motor and a rotating plate. The rotating motor is fixed to the lifting plate, the rotating plate is connected to the output end of the rotating motor, and the rotating feeding plate is set on the rotating plate.

[0012] The discharge assembly includes a discharge conveyor line, a pusher plate, and a pusher. The discharge conveyor line is located on one side of the rotating feeding plate, the pusher plate is slidably located on one side of the rotating feeding plate, and the pusher plate is connected to the pusher plate. When the rotor that has finished winding moves to the position of the pusher plate, the pusher plate pushes the pusher plate to move so as to push the rotor that has finished winding onto the discharge conveyor line for output.

[0013] The pusher includes a connecting rod, a crank, and a control motor. The crank is connected to the output end of the control motor, and the connecting rod is rotatably connected to the crank and the push plate.

[0014] The feeding assembly includes a second conveyor line, a triangular plate, and a push cylinder. The second conveyor line is located on one side of the rotating feeding tray, the triangular plate is slidably located on one side of the second conveyor line, and the output end of the push cylinder is connected to the triangular plate. After the second conveyor line transports the rotor to be wound to the designated position, the push cylinder pushes the triangular plate to send the rotor to the gripper.

[0015] The feeding assembly also includes a third spring, which is positioned between the push cylinder and the triangular plate.

[0016] This application provides a fully automatic winding processing equipment for motorcycle starter motor rotors. This solution integrates a support assembly, a feeding assembly, a winding assembly, a discharging assembly, and a replenishment assembly to construct a closed-loop automated workflow. The rotating table in the support assembly achieves precise pre-fixation of the rotor. Combined with the coordinated action of the lifting and rotating mechanisms in the feeding assembly, a rotating feeding disc with grippers is driven to flexibly shift in space, thereby automatically gripping and switching the workstation of the rotor to be processed. Based on this, the winding assembly performs standardized winding operations on the positioned rotor. Subsequently, the discharging assembly automatically moves the finished rotor to the conveyor line at a specific position. Simultaneously, the replenishment assembly replenishes new rotors to the grippers in real time at another position, ensuring seamless connection between the picking, feeding, winding, and discharging actions in the time sequence. This multi-component linkage mechanism eliminates the reliance on manual loading and unloading in traditional processes, realizing continuous automation of the entire process from raw material supply to finished product output. This effectively solves the problems of low rotor winding efficiency, excessive manual intervention, and insufficient automation in existing technologies for motorcycle starter motors. As a result, it avoids the situation of limited production cycle and fluctuations in processing consistency, and significantly improves the stability of equipment operation, the continuity of production operations, and the precision and consistency of product manufacturing.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and intended to explain the present invention, but should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0026] First embodiment:

[0027] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this embodiment provides a fully automatic winding processing equipment for motorcycle starter motor rotors. The equipment includes a support assembly 1, a feeding assembly 2, a winding assembly 3, a discharging assembly 4, and a replenishing assembly 5. The support assembly 1 includes a base 6, a support frame 7, and a rotating table 8. The support frame 7 is fixedly connected to the base 6 and located on one side of the base 6.

[0028] Specifically, support component 1 constitutes the physical load-bearing foundation and positioning reference of the entire processing equipment. Base 6 is installed on the ground, providing a stable support plane for the entire machine and ensuring vibration reduction and anti-shaking during processing. Support frame 7, as a vertically extending mounting frame, is firmly fixed to one side of base 6 by welding or bolting. Its height and span are designed to accommodate the layout requirements of subsequent components. Rotary table 8 is rotatably mounted on support frame 7 for pre-fixing the rotor. Rotary table 8 is typically mounted on the upper part of support frame 7 via precision bearing swivel pairs, enabling high-precision indexing rotation around its axis. It is equipped with tooling fixtures for clamping or positioning the rotor core to maintain the rotor's stable posture during winding.

[0029] The feeding assembly 2 includes a lifter 12, a rotator 13, a rotating feeding tray 14, multiple support rods 15, and multiple grippers 16. The lifter 12 is located on one side of the support frame 7, and the rotator 13 is mounted on the lifter 12. In this embodiment, the feeding assembly 2 is responsible for the automatic conveying and precise feeding of the rotor to be processed. The lifter 12, as a vertical drive unit, can be in the form of a hydraulic cylinder, electric push rod, or screw drive module, and is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 7. It is used to drive the rotator 13 and subsequent components to move vertically to meet the needs of different workstation heights. The rotator 13, as a horizontal rotation drive source, is installed on the moving end of the lifter 12 and can output rotational motion. The rotating feeding tray 14 is connected to the output end of the rotator 13. The rotating feeding tray 14 rotates horizontally under the drive of the rotator 13. Its rotation axis is usually perpendicular to the ground. By rotating the feeding tray 14, different workstations distributed around it can be sequentially transferred to the winding assembly 3, the discharge assembly 4, or the replenishment assembly 5 to achieve multi-workstation collaborative operation.

[0030] Multiple support rods 15 are fixed around the rotating feeding tray 14, and multiple grippers 16 are respectively mounted on the support rods 15 for picking up and placing the rotor. Specifically, the multiple support rods 15 are evenly distributed radially along the circumference of the rotating feeding tray 14, with their roots fixed to the edge of the tray and their ends extending outwards, forming a windmill-like structure. The grippers 16 are installed on the overhanging ends of the support rods 15 and can be pneumatic fingers, electric grippers, or spring hooks, etc., for directly gripping or supporting the rotor. When the rotating feeding tray 14 rotates, the support rods 15 rotate accordingly, driving the grippers 16 and the rotor on them to move in space, thereby completing the transfer of the rotor between different workstations. The winding assembly 3 is located on one side of the rotating table 8 for winding the rotor. The winding assembly 3 mainly consists of a wire laying mechanism, a wire feeding mechanism, and a tension controller. The overall installation position of this assembly is precisely aligned with the rotor position on the rotary table 8. The wire laying mechanism is responsible for controlling the lateral movement of the enameled wire, ensuring that the wire is neatly arranged in layers within the iron core slot. The wire feeding mechanism can quantitatively and uniformly deliver the enameled wire and accurately count the number of turns wound. The tension controller stabilizes the wire tension in real time, avoiding problems such as wire breakage, insulation damage, and loose winding. The three components work together with servo and sensing components to achieve coordinated operation. At the same time, the height and horizontal position of the assembly can be finely adjusted to adapt to various rotor specifications, ensuring precise alignment between the wire outlet channel and the rotor iron core slot.

[0031] After the rotor is locked and fixed on the rotating table 8 by the tooling, the rotating table is indexed and locked to complete the alignment. When the main control of the equipment receives the positioning signal, it automatically starts the entire winding assembly. The tension controller first presets the reference tension to straighten the wire, the wire feeding mechanism cooperates with the encoder to quantitatively count the wire output, and the wire laying mechanism moves back and forth synchronously to guide the enameled wire. The entire mechanism operates synchronously according to the pre-set process parameters such as the number of turns, wire laying offset, and segment tension, and neatly winds the enameled wire into the rotor core slot. After the number of turns reaches the standard, the wire feeding, wire laying, and tension control mechanisms are reset and stopped in sequence to complete the fully automatic winding process.

[0032] The discharge assembly 4 is positioned at the first position of the rotating feeding tray 14 and is used to remove the rotor wound on the rotating feeding tray 14. When the rotor that has completed winding processing rotates with the rotating feeding tray 14 to the first position, the discharge assembly 4 actuates, unloading the finished rotor from the gripper 16 and conveying it to the subsequent collection or packaging station. The replenishment assembly 5 is positioned at the second position of the rotating feeding tray 14 and is used to replenish the rotor to be wound on the gripper 16. The replenishment assembly 5 is usually connected to an external feeding system. When an empty gripper 16 rotates to the second position, the replenishment assembly 5 automatically grabs a rotor to be processed and places it on the gripper 16, thereby realizing a continuous automated feeding cycle.

[0033] The core innovation of this application lies in the construction of an integrated fully automatic rotor winding processing system. Through the spatial layout and functional coordination of the support components, feeding components, winding components, discharging components and replenishing components, the rotating motion of the rotating feeding plate is used as the flow hub to organically connect the rotor feeding, winding, discharging and replenishing processes in time and space, forming a closed-loop automated operation flow.

[0034] The working process and principle of this application are as follows: First, the rotating table 8 of the support component 1 is in a waiting state. The rotating loading plate 14 of the loading component 2 loads the rotor to be wound onto the gripper 16 through the replenishment component 5 at the initial position. Subsequently, the lifting device 12 and the rotating device 13 work together to drive the rotating loading plate 14 to rotate and lift, accurately moving the gripper 16 carrying the rotor to be processed to the loading position corresponding to the rotating table 8. At this time, the gripper 16 is released, and the rotor is transferred and pre-fixed on the rotating table 8. Next, the winding component 3 starts to perform precision winding on the rotor on the rotating table 8. After the winding is completed, the rotating loading plate 14 rotates again, transferring the rotor located at the first position, which has been wound and re-grabbed by the gripper 16, to the discharge component 4, where the discharge component 4 removes the rotor from the wire. At the same time, the vacated gripper 16 on the rotating loading plate 14 rotates to the second position, and the replenishment component 5 replenishes the new rotor to be wound in time. The whole process is repeated cyclically without manual intervention.

[0035] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves the following beneficial effects: Because the support component 1 is used as a stable installation base, and the rotor is pre-fixed with the rotating table 8, the structural rigidity and positioning accuracy during the winding process are guaranteed; because the feeding component 2 integrates the lifting device 12, the rotating device 13, and the rotating feeding plate 14, the rotor can be flexibly transported in three-dimensional space, allowing the feeding, replenishing, and winding processes to be processed in parallel, significantly shortening the processing cycle of a single product; because a dedicated discharge component 4 and replenishing component 5 are set up, corresponding to different positions of the rotating feeding plate 14, automatic unloading of finished products and automatic replenishment of raw materials are achieved, thus completely solving the technical problems of low efficiency, high labor intensity, and insufficient automation caused by manual loading and unloading in the prior art, and greatly improving the production efficiency, consistency, and continuous and stable operation of the motorcycle starter motor rotor winding process.

[0036] The rotating table 8 includes a rotating table body 9, a rotating motor 10, and a reducer 11. The rotating table body 9 is rotatably mounted on the support frame 7. The reducer 11 is connected to the rotating table body 9, and the rotating motor 10 is connected to the reducer 11.

[0037] The rotary table body 9, as the core rotating component that carries the rotor, is typically designed as a disc-shaped structure. Its upper surface is equipped with clamps or positioning structures for fixing the rotor, enabling it to precisely transfer the rotor between different processing stations (such as loading station, winding station, unloading station, etc.) through its own rotational movement. To achieve smooth rotational movement, the rotary table body 9 is mounted on the support frame 7 via bearings or other rotating pairs to ensure the flexibility and stability of its rotational movement.

[0038] In the power transmission path, the rotary motor 10 serves as the power source, connected to the reducer 11, to provide the initial power required to drive the rotary table body 9 to rotate. The rotary motor 10 can be a servo motor or a stepper motor to achieve precise control of the rotation angle and speed. The reducer 11 typically employs a precision planetary reducer or a worm gear reducer, its core function being to reduce the output speed and correspondingly increase the output torque. The reducer 11 is connected to the rotary table body 9, and the two can be connected via couplings, key connections, or flange connections, etc., to transmit the input power to the rotary table body 9 and adjust the output speed and torque.

[0039] By using this speed reduction and torque increase setting, the rotary table body 9 can rotate smoothly at a lower speed, avoiding inertial impact and vibration caused by direct high-speed drive of the motor. This ensures the positional accuracy of the rotor during the workstation switching process, especially the positioning accuracy of the winding workstation, which is conducive to improving the quality of winding processing and the reliability of equipment operation.

[0040] The gripper 16 includes two gripping blocks 17 and a first spring 18. The two gripping blocks 17 are slidably mounted on the support rod 15, and the first spring 18 is disposed between the two gripping blocks 17.

[0041] Specifically, two clamping blocks 17 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support rod 15 and can slide relative to each other along the axial direction of the support rod 15. A first spring 18, acting as an elastic energy storage element, is positioned between the opposing inner sides of the two clamping blocks 17 and is always in a compressed state, thereby applying a continuous elastic clamping force to the two clamping blocks 17, keeping the grippers 16 closed in their natural state to hold the rotor. This purely mechanical elastic clamping structure, unlike conventional pneumatic or electric grippers, maintains a stable clamping force without complex pneumatic or electrical control, offering advantages such as compact structure, rapid response, and low cost. In practical applications, the stiffness coefficient of the first spring 18 can be selected according to the weight of the rotor and the required clamping force. For example, a compression helical spring can be used, with its two ends abutting against the positioning grooves of the two clamping blocks 17 to ensure uniform force distribution.

[0042] The clamping block 17 has a wedge-shaped surface, and a pushing structure 20 is provided on the support assembly 1. When the wedge-shaped surface contacts the pushing structure 20, the two clamping blocks 17 move away to place the rotor onto the rotating table body 9. Specifically, the wedge-shaped surface is formed on the side of the clamping block 17 facing the pushing structure 20, and its inclination angle is designed to convert the horizontal pushing displacement into a component force perpendicular to the axis of the support rod 15. When the gripper 16 rotates with the rotating loading plate 14 to the preset unloading position, the pushing structure 20, which is fixedly installed on the support assembly 1, contacts the wedge-shaped surface of the clamping block 17. As the rotating loading plate 14 continues to rotate, the pushing structure 20 applies a compressive force to the wedge-shaped surface, which acts perpendicular to the wedge-shaped surface. According to the principle of mechanical decomposition, this compressive force can be decomposed into a separation component force along the axial direction of the support rod 15 and a support component force perpendicular to the support rod 15. Among them, the separation component force overcomes the elastic force of the first spring 18, forcing the two clamping blocks 17 to slide back and forth along the support rod 15, thereby realizing the automatic opening of the gripper 16. When the clamping block 17 opens to the predetermined distance, the rotor loses its clamping force and falls precisely onto the waiting rotating platform body 9 under the action of gravity. This application innovatively adopts a wedge-spring-push structure linkage feeding mechanism, breaking through the limitation of traditional grippers that rely on an active drive source for opening and closing control. It utilizes the rotational kinetic energy of the rotating feeding disc as a trigger source to achieve passive automatic feeding at a specific position. This design not only eliminates the need for additional sensors and controllers, simplifying the overall machine control logic, but also avoids potential air leakage or action delays in pneumatic components, significantly improving the reliability and operating efficiency of the equipment in continuous high-frequency operating environments.

[0043] The pushing structure 20 includes a pushing block 21, a pushing cylinder 22, and a second spring 23. The pushing block 21 is slidably mounted on the support frame 7. The output end of the pushing cylinder 22 is connected to the pushing block 21, and the second spring 23 is disposed between the pushing block 21 and the pushing cylinder 22. The pushing block 21, as the actuating component directly acting on the gripper 16, ensures the stability of the motion trajectory by sliding along the support frame 7, effectively preventing jamming due to force deviation. In specific implementations, the pushing block 21 can adopt a linear guiding method using a slider and slide rail, or a guide post and guide sleeve; this application does not impose any special limitations on this. The pushing cylinder 22, as a power source, provides driving force to make the pushing block 21 reciprocate along a predetermined trajectory. Its connection with the pushing block 21 can be a threaded connection, a flange connection, or a pin connection, etc.

[0044] Unlike conventional designs, this application incorporates a second spring 23 between the push block 21 and the push cylinder 22. This elastic connection overcomes the limitations of traditional rigid drive structures. When the push block 21 contacts the wedge-shaped surface of the gripper 16 and pushes it open, if a sudden change in resistance or mechanical interference occurs, the second spring 23 can undergo elastic deformation to buffer the impact, effectively absorbing the impact energy. This prevents hard, rigid collisions from damaging the precision components inside the push cylinder 22 or the push block 21 itself, thereby significantly extending the service life of the push structure 20 and reducing noise and vibration during equipment operation.

[0045] When the rotating feeding tray 14 is in the unloading state, the pushing block 21, located in the third position, pushes the two clamping blocks 17 away from each other. When the rotating feeding tray 14 is in the unloading state, the pushing block 21 moves to the fourth position to release contact with the clamping blocks 17. Specifically, when the rotating feeding tray 14 rotates to the feeding position (i.e., the unloading state), the pushing cylinder 22 is activated, driving the pushing block 21 to extend and slide to the third position. At this time, the pushing block 21 just contacts the wedge-shaped surface on the clamping jaw 16. As the pushing block 21 continues to penetrate deeper, the guiding effect of the wedge-shaped surface converts the horizontal thrust into a component force perpendicular to the direction of movement of the clamping blocks 17, thereby overcoming the elastic force of the first spring 18 and forcibly pushing the two clamping blocks 17 away from each other, causing the clamping jaw 16 to change from a closed state to an open state, and then placing the rotor on the rotating table body 8. After the material is fed, when the rotating feeding tray 14 needs to be moved to the material picking position (i.e., the material picking state), the push cylinder 22 retracts, causing the push block 21 to slide back along the support frame 7 to the fourth position. In this position, the push block 21 is completely disengaged from the contact area with the gripper 16, and no external force is applied to the gripper 16. The gripper 16 automatically resets and closes under the restoring force of the first spring 18, preparing for the subsequent picking of a new rotor to be wound.

[0046] The lifting device 12 includes a lifting cylinder 26, a lifting plate 27, and a return spring 28. The lifting cylinder 26 is fixed to the support frame 7, and the lifting plate 27 is connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 26. The return spring 28 is disposed between the lifting cylinder 26 and the lifting plate 27. The lifting cylinder 26, as the core power component driving the lifting plate 27 to perform vertical reciprocating motion, has its cylinder body securely mounted on the support frame 7 via bolts or welding to ensure structural stability during frequent lifting. The output rod of the lifting cylinder 26 extends vertically and is fixedly connected to the lifting plate 27, thereby transmitting the linear driving force of the cylinder to the lifting plate 27, causing the lifting plate 27 and its mounted components such as the rotary device 13 and the rotating feeding plate 14 to rise or fall together.

[0047] The specific arrangement of the return spring 28 can be flexibly selected according to the actual spatial structure. For example, the return spring 28 can be sleeved on the outside of the output rod of the lifting cylinder 26, or arranged between the relatively stationary positioning structures between the lifting plate 27 and the support frame 7. The return spring 28 mainly plays a dual role in the lifting device 12: assisting in reset and buffering energy absorption. When the lifting cylinder 26 drives the lifting plate 27 to rise, the return spring 28 is compressed and stores elastic potential energy; when the lifting cylinder 26 is depressurized or retracted, the return spring 28 releases its elastic potential energy, assisting the lifting plate 27 to quickly reset downwards, thereby improving the response speed of the lifting action. Furthermore, the return spring 28 can effectively absorb the inertial impact and mechanical vibration generated when the lifting plate 27 stops at high speed, reducing the impact of vibration on the positioning accuracy of the gripper 16 and ensuring the stability of the feeding process.

[0048] The rotator 13 includes a rotator motor 10 and a rotator plate 29. The rotator motor 10 is fixed to the lifting plate 27, and the rotator plate 29 is connected to the output end of the rotator motor 10. The rotating feed plate 14 is set on the rotator plate 29.

[0049] In this embodiment, the rotary motor 10 serves as a power source, and its main body is securely mounted on the lifting plate 27 via bolts or welding, enabling it to move synchronously with the lifting plate 27 in the vertical direction. The rotating plate 29 serves as a transmission connector, fixedly connected to the output end of the rotary motor 10, and is used to transmit the torque output by the motor to the rotating loading tray 14. The rotating loading tray 14 is disposed on the upper surface of the rotating plate 29, and the two are connected by fasteners or by an integral molding process to ensure that the rotating plate 29 can drive the rotating loading tray 14 to rotate synchronously when it rotates.

[0050] During operation, the rotary motor 10 drives the rotating plate 29 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating feeding tray 14 to rotate in the horizontal plane, thereby accurately switching the grippers 16 located at different workstations to the feeding, picking, or unloading positions. This design, which directly integrates the rotary motor 10 onto the lifting plate 27, has a compact structure and a short transmission path. It not only improves the space utilization of the equipment but also enables coordinated control of the rotation and lifting actions, effectively improving the system's response speed and operating efficiency.

[0051] The discharge assembly 4 includes a discharge conveyor line 30, a pusher plate 31, and a pusher 32. The discharge conveyor line 30 is disposed on one side of the rotating loading plate 14 and is used to receive and convey the processed rotor; the pusher plate 31 is slidably disposed on one side of the rotating loading plate 14 and is used to apply a pushing force to the rotor; the pusher 32 is connected to the pusher plate 31 and is used to drive the pusher plate 31 to perform reciprocating linear motion.

[0052] The discharge conveyor line 30 is located on one side of the rotating loading plate 14. Exemplarily, the discharge conveyor line 30 is arranged beside the discharge station of the rotating loading plate 14, and its conveying direction is perpendicular to or at a certain angle to the pushing direction of the pusher plate 31, so as to receive the pushed rotor. The discharge conveyor line 30 can adopt common conveying structures such as belt conveyors, roller conveyors, or chain conveyors. Its specific form can be selected according to the layout of the production workshop and the conveying requirements of the rotor; this embodiment does not impose any special limitations on this. The main function of the discharge conveyor line 30 is to automatically convey the wound finished rotor falling from the rotating loading plate 14 to the next process or collection area, thereby realizing continuous flow of the processing process.

[0053] The pusher plate 31 is slidably disposed on one side of the rotating feed plate 14. The pusher plate 31 is typically positioned radially on the rotating feed plate 14 and between the rotating feed plate 14 and the discharge conveyor line 30. The sliding direction of the pusher plate 31 points towards the feed end of the discharge conveyor line 30. Driven by the pusher 32, the pusher plate 31 can slide along a straight track, thereby approaching or moving away from the rotating feed plate 14. To avoid scratching the rotor surface during the pushing process, the contact surface of the pusher plate 31 can be provided with a buffer pad or made of a flexible material. As an actuating component, the pusher plate 31 directly contacts the rotor that has completed winding and pushes it away from the rotating feed plate 14.

[0054] The pusher 32 is connected to the pusher plate 31 and provides power to the pusher plate 31 to perform the pushing action. The pusher 32 can be a linear drive mechanism such as a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or electric push rod. For example, the pusher 32 can be a cylinder, with the cylinder body fixedly mounted on the frame and the piston rod of the cylinder fixedly connected to the pusher plate 31. When the cylinder is vented, the piston rod extends or retracts, causing the pusher plate 31 to slide on the slide rail. Alternatively, the pusher 32 can also be a servo motor working in conjunction with a lead screw module, which precisely controls the displacement and thrust of the pusher plate 31 by controlling the rotation angle of the motor, thereby adapting to the pushing requirements of rotors of different weights or sizes.

[0055] When the wound rotor moves to the position of the pusher plate 31, the pusher 32 pushes the pusher plate 31 to move, pushing the wound rotor onto the discharge conveyor line 30 for output. When the rotating loading plate 14 rotates to the discharge station, the position sensor detects that the rotor has arrived and sends a signal to the control system. The control system controls the pusher 32 to start, and the output end of the pusher 32 extends, driving the pusher plate 31 to move towards the rotating loading plate 14. The pusher plate 31 contacts the rotor and pushes it off the rotating loading plate 14, causing it to leave its original position and fall or slide onto the discharge conveyor line 30. Subsequently, the pusher 32 resets, driving the pusher plate 31 back to the initial position, waiting for the next discharge action.

[0056] The pusher 32 includes a connecting rod 33, a crank 34, and a control motor 35. The crank 34 is connected to the output end of the control motor 35, and the connecting rod 33 is rotatably connected to the crank 34 and the push plate 31.

[0057] In a specific implementation, one end of the connecting rod 33 is hinged to the eccentric position of the crank 34, and the other end is hinged to the push plate 31, thus forming a crank-slider motion mechanism. The connecting rod 33, as a transmission component, transmits power between the crank 34 and the push plate 31, converting the rotational motion of the crank 34 into the linear reciprocating motion of the push plate 31. The length of the connecting rod 33 can be designed according to the stroke requirements of the push plate 31 and the rotation radius of the crank 34. For example, it can be set so that the stroke of the push plate 31 meets the requirement of completely pushing the wound rotor onto the discharge conveyor line 30. The rotational connection between the connecting rod 33 and the push plate 31 and the crank 34 can adopt common articulated hinge methods such as pin connection and bearing connection; this application embodiment does not impose any special limitations on this.

[0058] Crank 34 is the core driving component of pusher 32, used to transmit the rotational torque output by control motor 35 to connecting rod 33. Crank 34 can be fixedly mounted on the output shaft of control motor 35 and rotates synchronously with the output shaft. The length of crank 34 (i.e., the radius of rotation) directly determines the linear stroke of push plate 31. When control motor 35 rotates one revolution, push plate 31 completes one reciprocating motion cycle, and its stroke is twice the length of crank 34. Crank 34 can be designed as a disc shape, arm shape, or other structural form that is easy to install and balance, as long as it can achieve the eccentric drive function.

[0059] The control motor 35 serves as a power source to drive the crank 34 to rotate. The control motor 35 can be a servo motor, a stepper motor, or other type of motor capable of precisely controlling speed and angle. By precisely controlling the rotation angle and speed of the control motor 35, the displacement and speed of the pusher plate 31 can be precisely controlled, thereby achieving smooth control of the wound rotor pushing process. For example, during the pushing process, the control motor 35 can maintain a uniform rotation speed, allowing the pusher plate 31 to smoothly push the rotor; during the return process, the control motor 35 can quickly reverse and reset to improve work efficiency.

[0060] Based on the above structure, the pusher 32 converts the rotational motion of the control motor 35 into the linear reciprocating motion of the pusher plate 31 through a crank-slider mechanism. When the control motor 35 drives the crank 34 to rotate, the connecting rod 33 drives the pusher plate 31 to reciprocate on the sliding track. During the pushing phase, the pusher plate 31 moves to contact the wound rotor and pushes the rotor from the rotating loading plate 14 onto the discharge conveyor line 30; during the reset phase, the pusher plate 31 returns to its initial position, waiting for the arrival of the next rotor. This mechanical linkage transmission method has the characteristics of compact structure, smooth transmission, strong load-bearing capacity and durability, and can adapt to the needs of high-frequency, continuous automated production.

[0061] The feeding assembly 5 includes a second conveyor line 36, a triangular plate 37, and a push cylinder 22. The second conveyor line 36 is disposed on one side of the rotating feeding plate 14, and the triangular plate 37 is slidably disposed on one side of the second conveyor line 36. The output end of the push cylinder 22 is connected to the triangular plate 37. After the second conveyor line 36 conveys the rotor to be wound to the designated position, the push cylinder 22 pushes the triangular plate 37 to send the rotor to the gripper 16.

[0062] The second conveyor line 36 serves as a transfer channel for transferring the external rotor to be wound to the gripper 16, automatically conveying the rotor to the predetermined feeding station. The specific structure of the second conveyor line 36 can be adapted to the size and weight parameters of the rotor; for example, conventional transmission mechanisms such as belt conveyors, roller conveyors, or chain conveyors can be used, and this application does not impose any special limitations on this. A triangular plate 37 is slidably disposed on one side of the second conveyor line 36, configured to directly contact the rotor and push it from the conveyor line to the gripper 16. The triangular plate 37 is preferably designed as a triangular structure with a guide ramp. This geometry provides natural guidance and restraint to the rotor during the pushing process, effectively preventing axial displacement or tipping of the rotor during lateral movement, thereby improving the stability of the feeding process.

[0063] The push cylinder 22 provides driving force for the reciprocating linear motion of the triangle 37. The output rod of the push cylinder 22 directly drives the triangle 37 to move towards or away from the gripper 16 through extension and retraction. In specific implementations, the push cylinder 22 can be a linear actuation element such as a standard cylinder, a rodless cylinder, or a hydraulic cylinder, as long as it can provide the linear thrust required by the working conditions.

[0064] During the automatic feeding process, when the second conveyor line 36 transports the rotor to be wound to the designated position aligned with the triangular plate 37, the control system issues a command to extend the piston rod of the push cylinder 22. The push cylinder 22 drives the triangular plate 37 to slide towards the gripper 16. The triangular plate 37 contacts the side of the rotor in its movement path, pushing it laterally away from the second conveyor line 36. As the triangular plate 37 continues to advance, the rotor is precisely pushed into the gripping range of the open gripper 16, thus completing the automatic feeding action. Subsequently, the push cylinder 22 performs a reset action, driving the triangular plate 37 back to its initial position, ready for the next feeding cycle.

[0065] The feeding assembly also includes a third spring, which is positioned between the push cylinder and the triangular plate.

[0066] The third spring, acting as an elastic buffer element, provides a flexible connection when the push cylinder drives the triangular plate to perform the feeding action. When the output end of the push cylinder extends and pushes the triangular plate to deliver the rotor to be wound to the gripper, the third spring deforms under pressure to absorb impact energy, effectively preventing rigid collisions when the triangular plate contacts the gripper or rotor, thereby reducing mechanical noise and component wear. When the push cylinder retracts, the third spring releases its stored elastic potential energy, assisting the triangular plate to quickly return to its initial position. This structural design significantly improves the smoothness and reliability of the feeding process and extends the service life of the connection structure between the push cylinder and the triangular plate.

Those skilled in the art can understand that all or part of the processes for implementing the above embodiments and equivalent changes made in accordance with the claims of this application still fall within the scope of this application.
