After the press is completed, transfer the assembled flywheel to the next process. Because the above method relies too much on manpower, it is easy to consume the operator's physical strength in actual work, resulting in reduced work efficiency or errors in the operation process.

[0028] In this embodiment, a gear ring heater 3 is provided on one side of the single-axis slide press 2 close to the gear ring silo 4 .

[0029] In this embodiment, the ring gear heating machine 3 is disposed on the frame 5 , and a ring gear slide 301 is disposed on the ring gear heating machine 3 .

[0030] In this embodiment, the three-axis manipulator 1 includes a body column 101 and a lifting shaft 102 . The body column 101 is provided with the lifting shaft 102 . The lifting shaft 102 is connected to a large arm shaft 103 . The large arm shaft 103 is rotatably connected to a small arm shaft 104 .

[0031] In this embodiment, the forearm shaft 104 is connected with a pneumatic clamp 105 .

[0032] In this embodiment, the guiding mechanism 202 includes a slide 2021, a slider 2022, a guide rail 2023 and a hydraulic cylinder 2024. The slide 2021 is fixedly mounted on the pressing mechanism 203. The guide rail 2023 is provided on the slide 2021. The guide rail 2023 is slidably connected to the slider 2022.

After the placement is completed, the guide mechanism 202 returns to the highest point; at this time, the gear ring heating machine 3 starts to heat the gear ring on the gear ring slide 301. When the gear ring is heated to the preset temperature, the gear ring slide 301 slides out of the heating area through the cylinder. When the heated gear ring slides into place, the three-axis manipulator 1 grabs the heated gear ring. Move to the top of the flywheel and guide plate assembly, release the pneumatic clamp 105 to put the ring gear on the flywheel assembly, then the three-axis manipulator 1 goes to the ring gear silo 4 through the preset trajectory to grab the ring gear and place it on the ring gear slide 301 of the ring gear heating machine 3 to wait for the next round of heating. At the same time, the flywheel assembly with the ring completed is moved to the bottom of the pressing mechanism through the flywheel positioning slide shaft 201 to start automatic pressing. After the pressing action is maintained for a period of time, the pressing mechanism is restored to its original state. The flywheel assembly that has completed the pressing is moved to the bottom of the guide mechanism, and the guide mechanism removes the guide plate above the assembly. Finally, the flywheel assembly moves to the unloading position, and the operator transfers the flywheel assembly to the next process.

[0038] In summary, the utility model can not only reduce labor intensity, shorten processing cycle time, and improve the yield of flywheels, but also complete the operation process automatically, eliminating operation errors caused by human factors.
