Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated carbon brush processing equipment, and in particular to a wire management mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Chinese patent application CN201810580200.7 discloses a carbon brush and a carbon brush cartridge assembly, including a carbon brush cartridge composed of symmetrically installed carbon brush cartridge bodies. The cartridge bodies are made of polyoxymethylene. A long groove is machined on the inner side of the support body, and a deformation groove is machined on the outer side. The deformation groove is located below the long groove, and a guide surface is machined on the upper part of the long groove. The carbon brush is formed by a compression spring connecting the brush body and a carbon brush connecting piece. The bottom of the brush body is curved, and the curved surface matches the outer circular shape of the commutator. The middle part of the carbon brush connecting piece is a narrow section. The segment size matches the long slot, and the carbon brush connecting piece is fixedly connected to the external wiring. The brush body, compression spring, and carbon brush connecting piece are made of conductive metal. The carbon brush body is installed into the carbon brush box, and the carbon brush connecting piece is pressed. Through the elastic deformation of the upper part of the carbon brush box, the carbon brush can be easily installed in the carbon brush box. In actual processing and assembly, the copper wire of the carbon brush needs to be further twisted and straightened. However, when the carbon brush with the brush box is actually processed, it is easy to pull the carbon brush out of the brush box, causing the carbon brush and brush box to separate, affecting subsequent processing and reducing processing efficiency.

[0025] In the description of this utility model, it should be understood that the directional descriptions, such as up, down, front, back, left, right, etc., indicate the directional or positional relationship based on the directional or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0026] In the description of this utility model, "several" means one or more, "multiple" means two or more, "greater than," "less than," and "exceeding" are understood to exclude the stated number, while "above," "below," and "within" are understood to include the stated number. If "first" or "second" is used in the description, it is only for the purpose of distinguishing technical features and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, or implicitly indicating the number of indicated technical features, or implicitly indicating the order of the indicated technical features.

[0027] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 2The cable management mechanism of this utility model embodiment includes a mounting clamp 100, a clamping mechanism 200, a gripper mechanism 300, a linear drive mechanism 400, and a rotation drive mechanism 500. The mounting clamp 100 is used to clamp the carbon brush with the brush holder; the clamping mechanism 200 is located below the mounting clamp 100 and is used to clamp the portion of the carbon brush protruding from the mounting clamp 100; the gripper mechanism 300 is located on the side of the mounting clamp 100 where the carbon brush is mounted, and is used to hold the copper wire of the carbon brush; the linear drive mechanism 400 is connected to the gripper mechanism 300, and is used to drive the gripper mechanism 300 to move closer to or away from the mounting clamp 100 along a straight line; the rotation drive mechanism 500 is connected to the gripper mechanism 300, and is used to drive the gripper mechanism 300 to pivot.

[0029] This thread-rearing mechanism has the following working process:

[0030] Step 1: Move the mounting fixture 100 above the clamping mechanism 200 and align it with the gripper mechanism 300;

[0031] Step 2: Use the clamping mechanism 200 to clamp the part of the carbon brush that protrudes from the mounting fixture 100 to fix the position of the carbon brush.

[0032] Step 3: The linear drive mechanism 400 drives the gripper mechanism 300 to feed forward;

[0033] Step 4: Use the gripper mechanism 300 to clamp the copper wire of the carbon brush;

[0034] Step 5: The linear drive mechanism 400 and the rotary drive mechanism 500 start synchronously. The linear drive mechanism 400 drives the gripper mechanism 300 to move backward, while the rotary drive mechanism 500 drives the gripper mechanism 300 to pivot.

[0035] Step 6: After completing the carbon brush routing process on the current mounting fixture 100, move the current mounting fixture 100 out of the position and repeat step 1.

[0036] In summary, by pre-clamping the carbon brush with the clamping mechanism 200, the carbon brush and brush holder will not shift in the mounting fixture 100. Then, the linear drive mechanism 400 and the rotary drive mechanism 500 work together to drive the gripper mechanism 300 to straighten the copper wire of the carbon brush, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0037] In some embodiments, the cable management mechanism further includes a turntable 600, the surface of which is provided with a plurality of workstations 610. The plurality of workstations 610 are spaced apart around the edge of the turntable 600. The turntable 600 is pivotable so that the workstations 610 correspond to the clamping mechanism 200, and the mounting fixture 100 is mounted on the workstations 610. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 200, the gripper mechanism 300, the linear drive mechanism 400, and the rotary drive mechanism 500 are all located on the edge of the turntable 600. When the turntable 600 rotates, the plurality of workstations 610 can be aligned one by one with the clamping mechanism 200 and the gripper mechanism 300, that is, the mounting fixture 100 carrying the brush box can be aligned with the gripper mechanism 300 and positioned above the clamping mechanism 200.

[0038] Preferably, the clamping mechanism 200 includes a first pneumatic finger 210 and a first gripper 220, with the first gripper 220 fixedly connected to the two drive ends of the first pneumatic finger 210. The two drive ends of the first pneumatic finger 210 can drive the two first grippers 220 to open or close, thereby releasing or clamping the carbon brush in the mounting fixture 100, facilitating the gripper mechanism 300 to manage the copper wires of the carbon brush. Furthermore, a lifting mechanism 230 is connected below the clamping mechanism 200, which drives the clamping mechanism 200 to move up and down. The liftable clamping mechanism 200 can prevent motion interference between the clamping mechanism 200 and the turntable 600 or the mounting fixture 100.

[0039] Preferably, the gripper mechanism 300 includes a second pneumatic finger 310 and a second gripper 320, with the second gripper 320 fixedly connected to the two drive ends of the second pneumatic finger 310. The two driving ends of the second starting mobile phone can drive the two second grippers 320 to open or close, thereby releasing or clamping the copper wire of the carbon brush. After the two second grippers 320 cooperate and clamp the copper wire, the copper wire is straightened by the coordinated control of the linear drive mechanism 400 and the rotary drive mechanism 500, completing the wire straightening process. Furthermore, the front end of the second gripper 320 is provided with a bent hook 321. The hooks 321 of the two second grippers 320 are bent relative to each other. The inwardly bent hooks 321 can form a clearance area between the two second grippers 320. After the two hooks 321 cooperate to clamp the copper wire, the front end of the copper wire can be in the clearance area and will not be clamped, avoiding the clamping area being too large and causing damage to the copper wire, thereby further improving the clamping effect. The opposite ends of the hooks 321 are provided with clamping grooves 3211, which are used to embed the copper wire of the carbon brush.

[0040] In some embodiments, the linear drive mechanism 400 includes a sliding seat 410, a first motor 420, a screw 430, and a slider 440. The slider 440 and the screw 430 are threadedly engaged, and the slider 440 and the sliding seat 410 are slidably connected. The first motor 420 is connected to the screw 430 to drive the screw 430 to pivot. The sliding seat 410 is mounted on the ground or a frame. The slider 440 and the screw 430 are threadedly engaged. Driven by the first motor 420, the rotational motion of the screw 430 is converted into the linear motion of the slider 440, so that the slider 440 can reciprocate on the sliding seat 410.

[0041] Furthermore, the rotation drive mechanism 500 includes a second motor 450, which is fixed to the slider 440. The second motor 450 is fixedly connected to the gripper mechanism 300 to drive the gripper mechanism 300 to pivot. The second motor 450 is fixed on the slider 440 and can move linearly with the slider 440, and move the gripper mechanism 300 forward or backward. Preferably, in some embodiments, the rotation drive mechanism 500 also includes a motor base 451, to which the second motor 450 is fixed. The motor base 451 is fixedly connected to the slider 440.

[0042] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
