Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a manipulator structure, in particular to a manipulator device used for a full-automatic balancing machine. Background Art

[0002] Motors are important products for production and daily life, and the rotor is an important working part of the motor. During the production process, the rotor will inevitably have an initial imbalance due to unreasonable design, uneven materials, and processing and assembly errors. A rotor with too large an imbalance will generate vibration and noise during the operation of the motor, which may degrade the motor performance at the least, or cause damage and accidents at the worst. Therefore, the rotor must be dynamically balanced to keep its imbalance within the qualified range.

[0003] Rotor dynamic balancing correction equipment can be divided into two categories, namely manual correction dynamic balancing machines and fully automatic balancing correction equipment. Manual correction balancing machines are low-cost, but the balancing process relies on the experience of workers, and the stability of the balance is difficult to guarantee. In comparison, fully automatic balancing correction equipment has high production efficiency, high balancing stability, and can optimize rotor correction, but the machine price is relatively expensive. At present, with the development of my country's motor industry, the use of fully automatic balancing correction equipment has become an inevitable trend.

[0004] For fully automatic balancing and correction equipment for motor rotors with two or more stations, a manipulator is generally required to carry the rotor workpiece between the stations. The manipulator needs to perform lifting and rotation functions. There are many types of manipulator structures at present. A representative one is the frame structure, which is composed of multiple guide rails and several flat plates to form a frame structure that can move up and down to realize the lifting function. A rotatable mechanism is fixed on the frame structure to realize the rotation function. For two-station equipment, since the rotational inertia of the rotating mechanism is small, it is generally driven by a swing cylinder. Although the swing cylinder is light and low in cost, its positioning accuracy is unstable and needs to be adjusted frequently. For equipment with more than two stations, the manipulator has a large rotational inertia, so a heavier mechanical swing divider is used to drive it, which will result in a large lifting inertia of the manipulator and a large lifting impact during operation. Therefore, no matter which configuration is used for the manipulator with a frame structure, there are problems with stability. Another type of manipulator structure is to use a vertical swing divider for lifting and rotating movements, or to use a combination of a cylinder, a servo motor, and a divider to realize the lifting and rotating movements of the manipulator. This type of robot has a large divider, heavy weight, and is inconvenient to carry and debug, so subsequent maintenance requires regular oiling and lubrication. At the same time, the robot's cycle is limited by the overall efficiency of the divider and cylinder, and cannot meet the production requirements of some fast-cycle products. Utility Model Content

[0032] The column mounting assembly A0 has an inverted U-shaped structure as a whole, consisting of a horizontally arranged mounting base plate A2 and two support rods A1 respectively arranged at the bottom of both sides of the mounting base plate A2.

[0041] The working process of this device is as follows:

[0042] T1: The vertical servo motor B1 drives the ascending adapter plate B7 through the screw nut pair composed of the vertical screw B4 and the vertical nut B6, and then the ascending adapter plate B7 drives the second bearing box C1, and then finally drives the manipulator air claw assembly D0 to move vertically downward through the ball spline pair. When it descends to a certain height, the vertical in-position sensor E3 detects that it is in position and enters step T2;

[0043] T2: The air gripper D3 drives the claw assembly D4 to grab the product. After the magnetic switch detects that the air gripper D3 is closed and the product is grabbed successfully, it goes to step T3;

[0044] T3: The vertical servo motor B1 drives the robot air gripper assembly D0 to rise vertically through the screw nut pair and the rising adapter plate B7. After the vertical in-position sensor E3 detects that it is in position, it enters step T4;

[0046] T5: The vertical servo motor B1 is driven, and then the same action as step T1 is performed to make the robot gripper assembly D0 vertically descend. After the vertical in-position sensor E3 detects that it is in position, it enters step T6;

[0047] T6: The air gripper D3 drives the air gripper assembly D4 to release the product, completing the transportation and entering T7;

[0048] T7: The vertical servo motor B1 is driven to perform the same action, causing the air gripper component D0 to rise vertically. After the vertical in-position sensor E3 detects that it is in position, the process goes to step T8;

[0049] T8: The rotary servo motor C2 drives the ball spline pair to rotate through the hollow rotary platform C3, and then drives the robot air gripper assembly D0 to rotate clockwise. After the rotation sensor C8 detects that it is in place, it returns to the initial state of T1.

[0050] The above steps are repeated in a counterclockwise manner to move the product between various workstations inside the equipment.
