[0027] The following description is intended to disclose the present invention so that those skilled in the art can implement it. The preferred embodiments described below are merely examples, and other obvious variations will occur to those skilled in the art.
[0028] Reference Figures 1-8 As shown, an oil seal installation device for a permanent magnet brushless hub motor of an electric bicycle includes a frame 1. A placement platform 2 is fixedly connected to the bottom inner side of the frame 1. A placement groove 3 is opened at the top of the placement platform 2. A pre-positioning groove 4 is opened at the bottom inner side of the placement groove 3. A drive chamber 5 is provided inside the placement platform 2 outside the placement groove 3. Four sets of cylinders 6 are fixedly installed inside the drive chamber 5. The output ends of the four sets of cylinders 6 pass through the four inner walls of the placement groove 3 and are fixedly connected to arc-shaped clamps 7. An oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 is provided at the top inner side of the frame 1.
[0029] The oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 includes a movable base 801. Four evenly distributed electric push rods 802 are fixedly installed at the lower end of the movable base 801. A lifting plate 803 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rods 802. A fixed sleeve 804 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the lifting plate 803. A fixed ring 805 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the fixed sleeve 804. Four evenly distributed guide rods 806 are fixedly connected between the fixed ring 805 and the lifting plate 803. A sliding ring 807 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the guide rod 806. Four evenly distributed connecting rods 808 are fixedly connected to the lower end of the sliding ring 807. The lower end of the connecting rod 808 passes through the upper end of the fixed ring 805 and is fixedly connected to a push plate 809.
[0030] Furthermore, the dimensions of the prepositioning slot 4 are consistent with the bottom dimensions of the hub motor to be processed. By aligning the lower end of the hub motor with the prepositioning slot 4 and placing it in the prepositioning slot 4, the hub motor can be initially positioned. After the hub motor is placed, the four sets of cylinders 6 will push the four arc-shaped clamps 7 to retract inward, thereby clamping and fixing the hub motor with the four arc-shaped clamps 7 to prevent the hub motor from shifting during the installation of the oil seal, thus affecting the installation accuracy. The placement and removal of the hub motor can be carried out by mechanical grippers to further improve the level of automation.
[0031] Furthermore, the area on the outer surface of the fixing sleeve 804 located at the lower end of the push plate 809 is used to fit the oil seal, and the outer diameter of the fixing sleeve 804 is the same as the inner diameter of the oil seal to be installed.
[0032] Furthermore, a groove 9 is provided at the top inner side of the frame 1. A second lead screw 10 is rotatably connected inside the groove 9. A movable seat 801 is threaded to the outer surface of the second lead screw 10. The rotation of the second lead screw 10 is driven by an external motor. The motor drives the second lead screw 10 to rotate, which can drive the oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 to move horizontally. The area located at the right end of the placement platform 2 is used to set up a feeding mechanism to supply oil seals. By moving the oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 above the feeding mechanism and aligning the lower end of the fixing sleeve 804 with the inner ring of the oil seal, the electric push rod 802 drives the lifting plate 803 to press down, so that the fixing sleeve 804 is inserted into the inner ring of the oil seal. At this time, the oil seal is fixed to the outer surface of the fixing sleeve 804 by friction. The electric push rod 802 resets, and the motor drives the second lead screw 10 to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 returns to the top of the placement platform 2 to prepare for the installation of the oil seal.
[0033] Furthermore, the outer edge of the lower end of the fixing sleeve 804 is rounded. The rounding reduces friction and sharp edge contact between the lower end of the fixing sleeve 804 and the inner side of the oil seal, thereby effectively reducing the risk of damage to the oil seal during extraction and installation. At the same time, the rounding allows the fixing sleeve 804 to be inserted into the inner side of the oil seal more smoothly, avoiding jamming or uneven pressure distribution that may be caused by sharp edges, thereby improving assembly efficiency and quality.
[0034] Furthermore, the lower end of the fixed sleeve 804 is provided with a receiving cavity 8041. A first fixed plate 8011 and a second fixed plate 8012 are fixedly connected inside the receiving cavity 8041. A first lead screw 8013 is rotatably connected between the first fixed plate 8011 and the second fixed plate 8012. A drive motor 8014 for driving the first lead screw 8013 to rotate is fixedly installed on the upper end of the second fixed plate 8012.
[0035] Furthermore, the outer surface of the fixed sleeve 804 is provided with four evenly distributed sliding grooves 8010 that pass through between the first fixed plate 8011 and the second fixed plate 8012, and the sliding ring 807 is slidably connected to the inside of the sliding grooves 8010.
[0036] Furthermore, the sliding ring 807 is threaded onto the outer surface of the first lead screw 8013.
[0037] Furthermore, after the hub motor is placed and the oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 completes the oil seal extraction operation, the electric push rod 802 drives the lifting plate 803 to descend, so that the oil seal on the fixed sleeve 804 is close to the corresponding installation position. When the oil seal reaches the target position, the drive motor 8014 drives the first lead screw 8013 to rotate, which can drive the sliding ring 807 to descend. Under the action of the connecting rod 808, the push plate 809 will descend synchronously, thereby pushing the oil seal on the fixed sleeve 804 out and installing it in the designated position.
[0038] Working principle: During use, the bottom end of the hub motor is aligned with the pre-positioning slot 4 by the mechanical grippers and placed on the placement platform 2. At this time, the four arc-shaped clamping plates 7 driven by the cylinder 6 retract inward to firmly clamp the hub motor and prevent displacement during installation. Then, the oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 moves to the top of the feeding mechanism by the rotation of the second lead screw 10 driven by the motor. Then, the electric push rod 802 drives the lifting plate 803, so that the lower end of the fixed sleeve 804 is inserted into the inner ring of the oil seal, completing the extraction of the oil seal. Then, the oil seal extraction and installation assembly 8 returns to the top of the placement platform 2 under the drive of the second lead screw 10. After that, the electric push rod 802 drives the lifting plate 803 to descend, so that the oil seal on the fixed sleeve 804 is close to the corresponding installation position. When the oil seal reaches the target position, the drive motor 8014 drives the first lead screw 8013 to rotate, which drives the sliding ring 807 to descend. Under the action of the connecting rod 808, the push plate 809 will descend synchronously, thereby pushing the oil seal on the fixed sleeve 804 out and installing it in the designated position.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments.
