Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor hub loading technology, and in particular to an automatic loading device for motor hub robots. Background Technology

[0002] The motor hub is a design that integrates the vehicle's power system, transmission system, and braking system into one motor. The motor hub is relatively heavy and large in size, making it inconvenient to handle during processing. Therefore, an auxiliary loading mechanism is required for operation.

[0003] Existing motor hub robot loading devices are mainly used to automate the loading of motor hubs on the production line, improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and ensure the accuracy and stability of the loading process. They typically consist of multiple parts, such as a robot system, a control system, and a clamping device, and can be seamlessly integrated with other production equipment (such as machine tools and assembly lines) to form a complete automated production process.

[0004] Currently available motor wheel hub loading fixtures are designed for specific models or sizes of wheel hubs. For example, the opening size and shape of the mechanical grippers are fixed. When faced with motor wheel hubs of different diameters, thicknesses, or wheel hub edge shapes, they cannot adapt well. In the production of automotive motor wheel hubs, the wheel hub sizes of different models vary greatly. A set of dedicated fixtures may only be used for one or a few similar-sized wheel hubs. This leads to companies needing to equip themselves with multiple fixtures to deal with different products, increasing costs and the time required to change fixtures. Utility Model Content

[0009] The clamping assembly includes a mounting plate, one side of which is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the robotic arm, and a support rod is fixedly connected to the other side of the mounting plate. Mounting frames are fixedly connected to both ends of the support rod. A slide rail is fixedly connected to the surface of the mounting frame.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for the motor hub robot described in this utility model, an electric push rod is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod, and the output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for the motor hub robot described in this utility model, a push rod is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed frame, a rotating rod is rotatably connected to the other end of the push rod, a rotating column is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating rod, a fixed plate is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column, and the fixed plate is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for the motor hub robot described in this utility model, reinforcing ribs are provided at the four inner corners of the mounting frame.

[0016] (III) Beneficial Effects

[0017] This utility model provides an automatic feeding device for a motor hub robot. It has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] 1. The clamping roller is inserted into the inner ring of the wheel hub by the robotic arm. Then, by activating the electric push rod, one of the fixed frames is moved through the output end of the electric push rod. This causes the slider at the lower end of the fixed frame to move on the slide rail surface. When one of the fixed frames moves, it drives the push rod to rotate. The rotation of the push rod drives the rotating rod to rotate, thereby driving the other fixed frame to move synchronously in the opposite direction. Thus, the clamping rollers on the two fixed frames can clamp and feed wheel hubs of different diameters, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

[0019] 2. The clamping rollers on the surface of the clamping rollers can increase the contact area with the inner surface of the hub, thereby increasing the friction and enhancing the stability of the hub during the clamping and feeding process, preventing slippage and falling. By setting reinforcing ribs at the corners of the fixed frame, the load-bearing capacity of the fixed frame can be enhanced. Attached Figure Description

[0026] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0027] Example 1

[0028] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the first embodiment of the present utility model. This embodiment provides an automatic feeding device for a motor hub robot, including a base 1, a robotic arm 2 mounted on the surface of the base 1, and a clamping component provided at the output end of the robotic arm 2.

[0029] The clamping assembly includes a mounting plate 3. One side of the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the robotic arm 2, and the other side of the mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to a support rod 5. Both ends of the support rod 5 are fixedly connected to mounting frames 4. The surface of the mounting frame 4 is fixedly connected to a slide rail 6. The surface of the slide rail 6 is slidably connected to a slider 7. The surface of the slider 7 is fixedly connected to a fixing frame 8. The surface of the fixing frame 8 is fixedly connected to a fixing seat 14. The surface of the fixing seat 14 is fixedly connected to a clamping roller 15.

[0030] Specifically, an electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 5, and the output end of the electric push rod 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed frame 8.

[0031] As a preferred embodiment of the automatic feeding device for the motor hub robot of this utility model, a push rod 13 is rotatably connected to the surface of the fixed frame 8, a rotating rod 12 is rotatably connected to the other end of the push rod 13, a rotating column 11 is rotatably connected to the surface of the rotating rod 12, a fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to one end of the rotating column 11, and the fixed plate 10 is fixedly connected to the surface of the support rod 5.

[0032] Furthermore, when it is necessary to load the wheel hub, the clamping roller 15 is first inserted into the inner ring of the wheel hub by the robotic arm 2. Then, by activating the electric push rod 9, one of the fixed frames 8 is moved through the output end of the electric push rod 9. This causes the slider 7 at the lower end of the fixed frame 8 to move on the surface of the slide rail 6. When one of the fixed frames 8 moves, it drives the push rod 13 to rotate. The rotation of the push rod 13 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the other fixed frame 8 to move synchronously in the opposite direction. Thus, the clamping rollers 15 on the two fixed frames 8 can clamp and load wheel hubs of different diameters, thereby improving the adaptability of the device.

[0033] Example 2

[0034] Reference Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The number of sliders 7 is set to eight. The eight sliders 7 are grouped into two groups of four. Both groups of sliders 7 are located between the fixed frame 8 and the slide rail 6. The clamping rollers 15 are set to four. The four clamping rollers 15 are grouped into two groups of two. Each group of clamping rollers 15 is located at the corner of the fixed frame 8.

[0035] Specifically, two clamping blocks 16 are provided on the surface of the clamping roller 15. One side of the two clamping blocks 16 is fixedly connected to the surface of the clamping roller 15, and the included angle between the two clamping rollers 15 is 45 degrees. Reinforcing ribs 17 are provided at the four inner corners of the mounting frame 4.

[0036] Furthermore, the clamping roller 15, which is provided on the surface of the clamping roller 15, can increase the contact area with the inner surface of the hub, thereby increasing the friction and enhancing the stability of the hub during the clamping and feeding process, preventing slippage and falling. By providing reinforcing ribs 17 at the corners of the fixed frame 8, the load-bearing capacity of the fixed frame 8 can be enhanced.

[0037] Working principle: When loading wheel hubs, the robotic arm 2 first inserts the clamping roller 15 into the inner ring of the wheel hub. Then, by activating the electric push rod 9, one of the fixed frames 8 is moved through its output end. This causes the slider 7 at the lower end of the fixed frame 8 to move on the surface of the slide rail 6. As one of the fixed frames 8 moves, it drives the push rod 13 to rotate. The rotation of the push rod 13 drives the rotating rod 12 to rotate, thereby driving the other fixed frame 8 to move synchronously in the opposite direction. This allows the clamping rollers 15 on the two fixed frames 8 to clamp and load wheel hubs of different diameters, thus improving the adaptability of the device. At the same time, the clamping rollers 15 on their surfaces increase the contact area with the inner surface of the wheel hub, thereby increasing friction and enhancing the stability of the wheel hub during the clamping and loading process, preventing slippage and falling.

[0038] It should be noted that in this paper, relational terms such as first and second are used only to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations.
