Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to a motor base cleaning and marking device. After the motor base is processed, the device is used to grind and clean burrs and paint on the motor base, and to stamp the motor base. Background Art

[0002] After the motor base is machined in the production cell, it often retains a significant amount of shavings and burrs on its surface. These shavings can easily fall onto the stator core during assembly, impacting proper motor operation. Furthermore, these burrs can negatively impact the motor's appearance and easily injure operators. Quality issues with the machine base require batch inspection and traceability, requiring a stamped seal.

[0003] In the existing technology, after the machine base is processed on the automatic production line, it needs to be manually polished and cleaned, including the following:

[0004] (1) The worker uses a wire brush to grind the burrs on the base of the machine;

[0005] (2) Workers use air guns to blow away iron filings on the threaded holes, heat dissipation ribs, wire outlets and base;

[0006] (3) Workers use hammers to hammer their own steel stamps on the end face of the machine base to trace back to the processing personnel.

[0007] Manual grinding, cleaning, and stamping of motor bases have many disadvantages, such as low efficiency leading to low output; high labor intensity, long hours of work easily leading to worker fatigue, affecting work efficiency; difficulty in ensuring grinding quality; dust and noise generated during the cleaning process, posing a serious threat to worker health, and a harsh working environment, etc. Utility Model Content

[0008] In view of this, the utility model proposes a machine base cleaning and marking device, which can automatically clean burrs and paint on the machine base and stamp the machine base, overcoming the disadvantage of the existing technology that manual cleaning is required.

[0009] The machine base cleaning and marking equipment according to the present application includes: a frame installed on the ground; a grinding mechanism installed on the frame for grinding the machine base; a cleaning mechanism installed on the frame for blowing and cleaning the machine base; and a marking mechanism installed on the frame for forming a mark on the machine base.

[0010] The base cleaning and marking equipment can automatically perform grinding and deburring, cleaning and debris removal, and steel stamping operations on the motor base, thereby improving production efficiency and production quality, reducing operator fatigue, and being environmentally friendly.

[0011] Furthermore, the grinding mechanism includes: a support seat mounted on the frame; a wire brush, which is cylindrical and rotatably mounted on the support seat through bearings at both ends; and a motor connected to the wire brush for driving the wire brush.

[0012] The grinding mechanism removes burrs and paint on the bottom edge of the machine base without affecting the processing size and roughness of the bottom foot of the machine base. It also takes into account the use of machine bases of different lengths and sizes. There is no need to replace the grinding mechanism for different machine bases.

[0013] Furthermore, the cleaning mechanism includes: a support part, mounted to the frame, for placing the machine base; a blowing part, supported by the bracket, for blowing gas toward the machine base placed on the support part; a gas storage tank, connected to the blowing part through an air pipe, for storing pressurized gas; and a solenoid valve, arranged on the air pipe, for controlling the delivery of gas through the air pipe, wherein the blowing part and the support part can move up and down relative to each other.

[0014] The cleaning mechanism can clean the residual cutting fluid and iron filings on the surface of the machine base, and adjust and clean the positions that are difficult to clean, so as to clean the surface of the machine base in all directions, and can also meet the use of machine bases of different lengths and sizes. There is no need to replace the cleaning mechanism for different machine bases.

[0015] Furthermore, the blowing part includes: a first blowing part, including a plurality of first blowing nozzles and an annular bracket, the plurality of first blowing nozzles are evenly distributed on the annular bracket, the annular bracket is configured to surround a machine base placed on a support part during an air blowing cleaning process, so that the plurality of first blowing nozzles blow and clean the outside of the machine base, wherein the annular bracket is mounted on the frame through a plurality of columns; and a second blowing part, including a plurality of second blowing nozzles and a columnar bracket for supporting the plurality of second blowing nozzles, the plurality of second blowing nozzles are configured to be able to be inserted into the machine base during an air blowing cleaning process to clean the interior of the machine base, wherein the columnar bracket is mounted to the frame.

[0016] The first nozzle is used to clean the outside of the machine base, and the second nozzle is used to clean the inside of the machine base. The machine base can be cleaned in all directions to ensure a good cleaning effect both inside and outside the machine base.

[0017] Furthermore, each of the plurality of first blowing nozzles is connected to the air storage tank via a corresponding air pipe, so that the solenoid valve can control each first blowing nozzle individually.

[0018] The solenoid valve controls each first blowing nozzle, realizing precise control of surface blowing and cleaning.

[0019] Furthermore, the plurality of second blowing nozzles are connected to the gas storage tank through one air pipe. Connecting the plurality of blowing nozzles through one air pipe has a simple structure, is easy to implement, and reduces production costs.

[0020] Furthermore, the support portion is a lifting platform that is driven up and down by a pneumatic cylinder, allowing the machine base located on the lifting platform to move up and down relative to the blowing portion. The lifting platform supports the machine base, allowing the machine base to move up and down relative to the first and second blowing nozzles, enabling comprehensive cleaning of the machine base. This simple structure improves cleaning efficiency and effectiveness.

[0021] Furthermore, the marking mechanism includes a steel stamp machine, which is installed on the frame. When the machine base is located above the steel stamp machine, the steel stamp machine performs a steel stamp operation on the machine base.

[0022] Automatically mark the surface of the machine base after processing to distinguish different personnel and equipment operations, making it easy to trace the processing personnel.

[0023] Furthermore, the identification mechanism includes: a limit plate, which covers the top of the steel stamp machine and has an opening, and the limit plate is configured to enable the head of the steel stamp machine to extend through the opening to reach a first position during operation to contact the machine base, thereby performing the steel stamping operation; and a limit column, which is arranged at a position of the head below the limit plate, and the limit column is configured to prevent the head from further extending from the opening after the head reaches the first position.

[0024] That is to say, in order to prevent the head with the steel code from being pushed out excessively when the steel stamping machine is working, which may cause injury to people, a limit plate is installed above the head and limit columns are set around the head to effectively limit the travel of the head with the steel code.

[0025] Furthermore, the marking mechanism includes sensors, which are arranged on both sides of the steel stamping machine to sense the presence of the machine base. The sensors ensure that marking is started when the machine base is above the marking mechanism, and prevent operation without the machine base, forming a closed-loop control.

[0026] In summary, the base cleaning and marking equipment according to the present application can automatically grind and remove burrs, clean and remove debris, and stamp the base of the motor, thereby improving production efficiency and production quality, reducing the labor intensity of operators, and being environmentally friendly.

[0058] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more clear, the present invention is further described in detail with reference to the following embodiments.

[0059] It should be noted that the terms used herein are only for describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the exemplary embodiments according to the present application. As used herein, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, the singular form is intended to include the plural form. In addition, it should be understood that when the terms "comprise" and / or "include" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components and / or combinations thereof.

[0060] In addition, the terms "comprises" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or apparatus that includes a series of steps or elements is not necessarily limited to those steps or elements expressly listed but may include other steps or elements not expressly listed or inherent to such process, method, product or apparatus.

[0061] Now, exemplary embodiments according to the present application will be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments can be implemented in a variety of different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments described herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided to make the disclosure of this application thorough and complete, and to fully convey the concepts of these exemplary embodiments to those of ordinary skill in the art. In the accompanying drawings, for the sake of clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to represent the same devices, and thus their descriptions will be omitted.

[0062] Figures 1 to 4 The machine base cleaning and marking device 1 according to the present application is shown. The machine base cleaning and marking device 1 comprises a frame 40 , a grinding mechanism 10 , a cleaning mechanism 20 and a marking mechanism 30 .

[0063] The frame 40 is mounted to the ground to support the grinding mechanism 10 , the cleaning mechanism 20 and the marking mechanism 30 .

[0064] Specifically, the polishing mechanism 10 is mounted on the frame 40 for polishing the machine base 2. The cleaning mechanism 20 is mounted on the frame 40 for blowing and cleaning the machine base 2. The marking mechanism 30 is mounted on the frame 40 for forming a mark on the machine base 2.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the grinding mechanism 10 includes a support base 11 , a wire brush 12 and a motor 13 .

[0066] The support base 11 is mounted to the frame 40. The wire brush 12 is cylindrical and rotatably mounted to the support base 11 via bearings 14 at both ends, specifically, to the upper portion of the support base 11. The motor 13 is mounted to the side of the support base 11 and is connected to the wire brush 12 to drive the wire brush 12 to rotate.

[0067] Figure 2 The grinding operation process is shown in order to make the drawings clearer. Figure 2-Figure 4 The air pipe 25 of the cleaning mechanism 20 is not shown. Figure 1 In order to make the drawing clearer, the trachea 25 is shown by a dotted line.

[0068] During the grinding process, the robot arm 3 grasps the machine base 2, with the base portion of the machine base 2 facing the wire brush 12. The robot arm 3 controls the trajectory of the machine base 2, ensuring that the base portion of the machine base 2 fully contacts the rotating wire brush 12 to grind the base portion. The robot arm 3 drives the machine base 2 from top to bottom, coordinating with the rotation of the wire brush 12 to remove burrs and paint around the base portion of the machine base 2.

[0069] The robot arm 3 can grab machine bases 2 of different sizes, thereby improving the flexibility of grinding.

[0070] In addition, the cleaning effect can be improved by adjusting the contact gap between the robot arm 3 and the wire brush 12, thereby fully increasing the utilization rate of the robot arm 3 without affecting the overall production efficiency of the automatic production line.

[0071] After the grinding operation is completed, the robot arm 3 can place the polished machine base 2 on the support part 21 to perform the air blowing cleaning process. Figure 3 As shown, the base 2 is placed on the support 21. It should be noted that for the sake of clarity, Figure 3 The air pipe 25 and the air storage tank 22 are omitted.

[0072] like Figure 1 As shown, the cleaning mechanism 20 includes a support portion 21, an air blowing portion, an air storage tank 22, and a solenoid valve 23. The air blowing portion and the support portion 21 are movable up and down relative to each other. The air storage tank 22 is used to store pressurized gas and is connected to the air blowing portion via an air pipe 25. The solenoid valve 23 is disposed on the air pipe 25 to control the delivery of gas through the air pipe 25.

[0073] Specifically, the support portion 21 is mounted to the frame 40 for placing the base 2. In one embodiment, as Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the support portion 21 is a lifting platform, which is driven up and down by a pneumatic cylinder 24, allowing the machine base 2, located on the lifting platform, to move up and down relative to the blowing section. Specifically, the lifting platform is mounted on a linear guide rail located on the side. The pneumatic cylinder 24 drives the lifting platform up and down along the linear rail, and the stroke of the cylinder 24 covers the entire length of the machine base. During the blowing process, the cylinder 24 moves up and down slowly to ensure that the blowing section cleans the entire length of the machine base 2.

[0074] In other embodiments, the support portion 21 may be a fixed platform, and the blowing portion may be driven by a driving mechanism to move up and down so as to blow and clean the base 2 placed on the platform.

[0075] The air blowing part is supported by a bracket and is used to blow air toward the base 2 placed on the support part 21. The air blowing part further includes a first air blowing part and a second air blowing part.

[0076] The first air blowing unit includes a plurality of first blowing nozzles 26 and an annular support 28. The plurality of first blowing nozzles 26 are evenly distributed on the annular support 28. The annular support 28 is configured to surround the base 2 placed on the support 21 during the air blowing cleaning process, so that the plurality of first blowing nozzles 26 can blow air to clean the exterior of the base 2. The annular support 28 is mounted on a frame 40 via a plurality of columns 41.

[0077] The second air blowing part includes a plurality of second blowing nozzles 27 and a columnar support 29 for supporting the plurality of second blowing nozzles 27 . The plurality of second blowing nozzles 27 are configured to be inserted into the base 2 during the air blowing cleaning process to clean the interior of the base 2 . The columnar support 29 is mounted to the frame 40 .

[0078] In one embodiment, the first nozzle 26 may be in the form of an "air knife," i.e., the cross-section of the nozzle is approximately rectangular, that is, the length of the nozzle is much greater than its width. This type of nozzle provides a large blowing area and high blowing pressure. Furthermore, other shapes of the first nozzle 26 are also feasible.

[0079] According to the outer diameter of the base 2 , eight first blowing nozzles 26 can be arranged around the outer circle of the base to ensure full coverage of the outer circle of the base 2 with air.

[0080] For the hard-to-clean dead corners on the machine base, the installation position of the first blowing nozzle 26 on the annular bracket 28 can be adjusted to improve the cleaning effect.

[0081] Each of the plurality of first blowing nozzles 26 is connected to the air storage tank 22 via a corresponding air pipe 25, so that the solenoid valve 23 can control each first blowing nozzle individually. This arrangement can ensure accurate control of the air blowing cleaning.

[0082] In other embodiments, two first blowing nozzles 26 are connected to the same air pipe and controlled by the same solenoid valve 23. Specifically, one solenoid valve 23 can control two first blowing nozzles 26 to blow air simultaneously, while another solenoid valve 23 can control another two first blowing nozzles 26 to blow air simultaneously. This reduces the number of air pipes 25, further simplifies the structure, and reduces costs.

[0083] Of course, one air pipe 25 can also be connected to another number of first blowing nozzles 26 and controlled by the same solenoid valve 23. For example, one air pipe 25 can be connected to all first blowing nozzles 26 and controlled by the same solenoid valve 23. During use, one solenoid valve 23 can control all first blowing nozzles 26 to blow air and close simultaneously.

[0084] The plurality of second blowing nozzles 27 are connected to the air storage tank 22 via a common air pipe 25 .

[0085] It should be noted that the communication and control method of the second blowing nozzle 27 can also be similar to that of the first blowing nozzle 26, and will not be described in detail.

[0086] Because there are multiple first and second blow nozzles 26, 27, a separate air tank 22 is required to supply air to these nozzles. This tank 22 provides a stable, high-pressure air source, ensuring the required pressure without affecting the air supply at other stations on the automated production line. To improve cleaning efficiency, a solenoid valve 23 can be configured to control the multiple first blow nozzles 26 to blow air in separate steps, sequentially blowing and cleaning to ensure a continuous, effective cleaning process.

[0087] After the air blowing cleaning operation is completed, the robot arm 3 can grab the cleaned machine base 2 and move it above the marking mechanism 30 to perform the steel stamping operation.

[0088] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the marking mechanism 30 includes a stamping machine 31 , which is installed on the frame 40 . When the base 2 is located above the stamping machine 31 , the stamping machine 31 performs a stamping operation on the base 2 .

[0089] The marking mechanism 30 may further include a limiting plate 32 and a limiting column.

[0090] The limit plate 32 covers the top of the steel stamp 31 and has an opening 33. The limit plate 32 is configured to allow the head of the steel stamp 31 to extend through the opening 33 to reach the first position during operation to contact the machine base 2, thereby performing the steel stamping operation.

[0091] The limiting post is provided at a position of the machine head below the limiting plate 32 , and the limiting post is configured to prevent the machine head from further extending from the opening 33 after the machine head reaches the first position.

[0092] The identification mechanism 30 may further include a sensor 34 , for example, a sensor 34 disposed on both sides of the steel stamp 31 , for sensing the presence of the machine base 2 .

[0093] Figure 4 The marking process, also known as the stamping process, is shown. A robotic arm 3 grabs the cleaned machine base 2 and places it above a stamping machine 31. Stamping machine 31 is fixed to a workstation. The signal line from the on / off button of stamping machine 31 is connected to the automation equipment, and the operation of stamping machine 31 is controlled by a programmable logic controller (PLC). When robotic arm 3 grabs machine base 2 and places it above stamping machine 31, the control equipment controls stamping machine 31 to stamp the end face of machine base 2.

[0094] Through the robot arm 3, the control device can control the machine bases of different lengths and sizes to stamp. At the same time, the robot arm 3 prints at different positions according to different machine bases, effectively distinguishing the machine bases.

[0095] The steel stamp of the steel stamping machine 31 has numbers 1-9, and different operators change the corresponding numbers for processing, so as to distinguish the production personnel of different machine bases.

[0096] In addition, in order to prevent the stamping machine 31 from pushing the machine head excessively when working, which may cause injury to people, as shown above, a limit plate is installed above the machine head, and limit columns can be set around the machine head to effectively limit the travel of the machine head.

[0097] Sensors are installed on both sides of the steel stamping machine 31 to ensure that the steel stamping is started when the organic base 2 is on top, to prevent the operation without the organic base, and to form a closed-loop control.

[0098] In summary, the machine base cleaning and marking device of this application allows the machine base 2 to automatically complete the grinding, cleaning, and stamping tasks at the workstation, reducing worker labor intensity. Furthermore, through the cooperation of the robotic arm, the robotic arm utilization rate is improved, the overall production line operation is balanced, production efficiency and quality are improved, the operator's labor intensity is reduced, and environmental protection is achieved.

[0099] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Various modifications and variations are possible for those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present application shall be included within the scope of protection of the present application.
