[0040] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, this utility model discloses an automatic assembly device for iron core terminals of water pumps, including: a frame, a platform mounted on the frame, a rotating disk 1 on the platform, and multiple fixed carriers 11 on the rotating disk 1. The entire product includes a lower insulator 12, an iron core 13, an upper insulator 15, and terminals 14 (e.g., ...). Figure 10 As shown), the upper and lower insulators are provided with slots to cooperate with the iron core 13, and around the rotating disk 1 on the platform are:

[0042] The lower insulator assembly device includes a lower insulator feeding vibratory plate 35 and a lower insulator transfer component 3, wherein the lower insulator transfer component 3 clamps the lower insulator 12 and places it on a fixed carrier 11.

[0043] The iron core assembly device includes an iron core feeding conveyor belt 21 and an iron core clamping assembly 2. The iron core clamping assembly 2 clamps the iron core 13 and assembles it onto the lower insulator 12. The iron core feeding conveyor belt 21 continuously transports the iron core 13 to facilitate clamping by the iron core clamping assembly 2.

[0044] The upper insulator assembly device includes an upper insulator transfer assembly 4, which is used to clamp the upper insulator 15 and assemble it onto the iron core 13.

[0045] The terminal assembly device includes a terminal feeding assembly 51 and a terminal gripper 5. The terminal gripper 5 grips the terminal 14 and assembles it onto the upper insulator 15. The upper insulator 15 has a receiving groove on its upper side for accommodating the terminal 14.

[0046] The clamping device includes a clamping block 6 and a clamping drive 61, wherein the clamping drive 61 drives the clamping block 6 to press down.

[0047] The advantages of adopting the above technical solution are that it enables the automatic assembly of the pump core terminal 14, reduces the manual handling process, optimizes the structure, makes the structure compact, occupies little space, and is highly efficient.

[0048] In some implementations, the lower insulator feeding vibratory feeder 35 is provided with a lower insulator feeding channel 351 (e.g., Figure 2-3 A fixed plate 352 is connected to the end of the lower insulator feeding channel 351. A sliding groove is provided in the fixed plate 352, which is set along the direction perpendicular to the lower insulator feeding channel 351. A sliding block 353 is provided in the sliding groove. A cylinder is provided on the side of the fixed plate 352. The extended end of the cylinder is connected to the sliding block 353 to drive the sliding block 353 to move. The sliding block 353 is provided with a receiving groove 354 for receiving the lower insulator. The receiving groove 354 is U-shaped and the opening faces the lower insulator feeding channel 351. When the receiving groove 354 is connected to the lower insulator feeding channel 351, it is the feeding position. Each time the receiving groove 354 receives one lower insulator 12, a position sensor is installed on the side. After receiving, the cylinder extends, the sliding block 353 moves to the feeding position, and waits for the lower insulator transporter to take away the lower insulator 12. The cylinder retracts, and the feeding channel continues to feed.

[0049] Furthermore, the lower insulator transfer component 3 includes: a support frame 31, a clamping jaw 32, a horizontal moving cylinder 33, and a vertical moving cylinder 34. The bottom of the support frame 31 is attached to the platform by screws. The clamping jaw 32 is driven to open and close by a clamping cylinder. The horizontal moving cylinder 33 is mounted on the support frame 31 and is horizontally installed. A guide rail and a slider are also provided on the side. The vertical moving cylinder 34 is mounted on the slider. As the slider slides on the guide rail, the output end of the horizontal moving cylinder 33 drives the vertical moving cylinder 34 to move. The clamping cylinder is mounted on the vertical moving cylinder 34. The vertical moving cylinder 34 can be a slide cylinder, which moves smoothly and accurately, ensuring assembly quality.

[0050] The gripper 32 is used to grip the lower insulator 12. The horizontal moving cylinder 33 and the vertical moving cylinder 34 enable the gripper 32 to move horizontally and vertically, thereby enabling the gripping and installation of the lower insulator 12. The structure is simple, the installation is fast, and the assembly position is accurate.

[0051] Furthermore, the upper insulator transfer component 4 and the lower insulator transfer component 3 have the same structure. They are also fed by a vibratory feeder, and are also equipped with a sliding block 353 to drive the upper insulator 15. They are also equipped with a horizontal moving cylinder 33 and a vertical moving cylinder 34 to move the lower insulator transfer component 3, and are also clamped and transported.

[0052] In some implementations, the core clamping assembly 2 is connected to a lifting bracket 22 and a rotating assembly (e.g., Figure 4 As shown, the lower end of the lifting bracket 22 is fixed on the machine frame. The lifting bracket 22 includes a lifting plate 25. A lifting rod is provided on the lower side of the lifting plate 25. The lifting rod is an electric push rod that drives the lifting plate 25 to rise and fall. The rotating component includes a rotating cylinder 23, which is installed on the lifting plate 25. The rotating cylinder 23 is connected to a mounting plate 24. The iron core clamping component 2 is fixed on the mounting plate 24. As the mounting plate 24 moves, the iron core clamping component 2 is a clamping cylinder and a gripper structure. The opening and closing of the clamping cylinder controls the gripper to clamp the product. At the same time, a sliding table cylinder is also provided on the mounting plate 24 to realize the lifting and lowering of the iron core clamping component 2.

[0053] In some implementation schemes (such as) Figure 5-7As shown), the terminal feeding assembly 51 includes: a terminal feeding vibratory feeder 511, which is connected to a terminal feeding channel 512, and a flipping clamping member 7 disposed at the end of the terminal feeding channel 512; the terminal feeding assembly 51 includes a flipping clamping member 7, which is installed on the lower side of the terminal gripper 5 and is used to clamp the fed terminal 14. After the flipping clamping member 7 clamps the terminal 14, it flips, and the terminal gripper 5 clamps the terminal 14; the flipping clamping member 7 has a clamping gripper 72 for clamping the lower part of the terminal 14, and a flipping drive member 73 is also connected to the side. The flipping drive member 73 can be a rotary cylinder, and a moving block 71 is connected to the lower side of the flipping drive member 73. The moving block 71 is in the cylinder. When the drive moves towards or away from the feeding channel, the flipping clamp 7 is in a horizontal state and close to the terminal feeding channel 512. At this time, the terminals 14 in the terminal feeding channel 512 are fed by the arrangement of the vibratory feeder. The terminals 14 are in a horizontal state with their bottoms facing the flipping clamp 7. The flipping clamp 7 clamps the bottom of the terminals 14. The rotary cylinder rotates, and the flipping clamp 7 changes to a vertical state with the top of the terminals 14 facing upward. Then, the terminal claw 5 clamps the upper part of the terminals 14 and inserts the terminals 14 into the upper insulator 15 to complete the assembly of the terminals 14. Two terminals 14 are installed on each upper insulator 15 to ensure that the clamping position of the terminals 14 is appropriate and to ensure the assembly quality of the terminals 14.

[0054] Furthermore, the terminal gripper 5 is a rotatable gripper, controlled by a clamping cylinder at the top, and also has a rotation function. By rotating, the installation position can be changed to realize the installation of multiple terminals 14. It is supported by a connecting plate 52 mounted on the platform. The horizontal and vertical movement is the same as that of the lower insulator transfer component 3, and the horizontal and vertical movement is achieved by using a horizontal cylinder and a vertically set slide cylinder.

[0055] In some implementation schemes (such as) Figure 8 As shown, the clamping block 6 includes a clamping surface 62, with a positioning post 63 in the middle of the clamping surface 62. The clamping drive component 61 is a cylinder, which is vertically arranged. The clamping block 6 faces the fixed carrier 11. The cylinder is driven by a moving module, which can be a motor-screw module. The bottom of the moving module is fixedly installed on the platform, which drives the cylinder to move closer to the rotating disk 1 and away from the rotating disk 1. When it is close to the rotating disk 1, the clamping block 6 is located on the upper side of the fixed carrier 11. The fixed carrier 11 has a product fixed on it. At this time, the terminal 14 has been installed. The cylinder extends, and the clamping block 6 moves towards the product, pressing the terminal 14 downward to make the terminal 14 installed and secure.

[0056] In some implementations, a feeding assembly is also provided on the frame. Figure 9 As shown, it includes a feeding robot 8, a feeding gripper 81, and a receiving box. The feeding gripper 81 picks up the product and places it into the receiving box. The feeding robot 8 is installed on the platform and drives the feeding gripper 81 to move. The feeding gripper 81 closes to pick up the product and then transfers the product.

[0057] Furthermore, a rotary drive component is provided at the bottom of the rotating disk 1, and a bearing is installed at the bottom of the rotating disk 1. It is also connected to a main shaft. The rotary drive component is a motor. The motor drives the main shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the rotating disk 1 to rotate, so that the fixed carrier 11 can move between various assembly positions to ensure assembly efficiency.

[0058] In the assembly process, firstly, the lower insulator transfer component 3 places the lower insulator 12 on the fixed carrier 11, which is equipped with a fixing groove. The iron core clamping component 2 clamps the iron core 13 transported by the conveyor belt and installs the iron core 13 onto the lower insulator 12. Then, the rotating disk 1 rotates, and the lower insulator 12 and iron core 13 continue to be loaded and installed. The upper insulator transfer component 4 clamps the upper insulator 15 and installs it onto the iron core 13. The rotating disk 1 continues to rotate, and the terminal gripper 5 clamps the terminal 14 and installs the terminal 14 onto the upper insulator 15. Then, the rotating disk 1 rotates to the underside of the clamping block 6, where it is clamped. Finally, the unloading robot 8 clamps the assembled product and continues unloading. During this process, the rotating disk 1 rotates continuously to achieve continuous assembly and ensure assembly efficiency.

[0059] For those skilled in the art, various modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the inventive concept of this utility model, and these modifications and improvements all fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
