Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of wiper motor technology, specifically to a bidirectional press-fitting device for an oil-impregnated bearing in a wiper motor reduction housing. Background Technology

[0002] As the core drive component of a car's windshield wiper system, the performance of the wiper motor directly affects the efficiency and reliability of the wipers. In the design of a wiper motor, the reduction gear mechanism is the key part that converts the motor's high-speed rotation into low-speed, high-torque output, and the reduction housing is the important carrier of this mechanism. To ensure the smooth operation and long-term durability of the reduction gear mechanism, oil-impregnated bearings are widely used in the reduction housing.

[0003] Oil-impregnated bearings are self-lubricating bearings containing lubricating oil that automatically releases during operation, reducing friction and wear, thereby improving bearing life and operating efficiency. Currently, the assembly of oil-impregnated bearings in wiper motor reducer housings is often done manually, with workers manually placing and riveting the bearings. This method is inefficient and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned problems in the prior art, this utility model provides a bidirectional press-fitting device for oil-impregnated bearings in wiper motor gearboxes, which solves the problem of low assembly efficiency in existing wiper motor gearbox oil-impregnated bearing assembly.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:

[0006] A bidirectional press-fitting device for an oil-impregnated bearing in a wiper motor reducer housing is provided. The device includes a work platform, with a first press and a second press, both electrically connected to a controller, positioned above and below the work platform. A press head and a press rod are respectively movable along the same vertical direction on the first and second presses. A mounting base, fixed to the work platform and used for installing the wiper motor reducer housing, is positioned directly below the press head. The press head and the press rod apply pressure to the top and bottom surfaces of the oil-impregnated bearing, respectively, to press the bearing into the bearing mounting opening of the wiper motor reducer housing.

[0007] In this solution, mechanical automation replaces manual pressing, significantly improving assembly efficiency and reducing labor intensity. Furthermore, by using a first and second press positioned vertically to apply pressure to the top and bottom surfaces of the oil-impregnated bearing respectively, bidirectional synchronous pressing is achieved, avoiding the instability of manual operation. This also ensures uniform bearing stress, preventing misalignment or damage caused by unilateral pressing, and improving assembly quality.

[0008] Furthermore, the work platform is equipped with two symmetrical fixing rods located on both sides of the fixed base. Each fixing rod is fitted with a sleeve, and each sleeve is equipped with a photoelectric transmitting sensor and a photoelectric receiving sensor, both electrically connected to the controller. The photoelectric transmitting and receiving sensors can detect whether a wiper motor reduction housing is placed on the fixed base.

[0009] Furthermore, the main body of the first press is equipped with two side baffles located on both sides of the fixed base. The side baffles form a physical barrier to protect the safety of the operators.

[0010] Furthermore, a safety light curtain receiver is embedded on the outside of the fixed base within the work platform. A safety light curtain transmitter, horizontally fixed to the first press, is positioned directly above the receiver. Both the transmitter and receiver are electrically connected to the controller. The safety light curtain transmitter and receiver immediately shut off equipment operation when the operator's hands enter the hazardous area, preventing mechanical injury, complying with industrial safety standards, and reducing the risk of workplace injuries.

[0011] Furthermore, two button boxes are installed on the side of the work platform, both of which are electrically connected to the controller. The button boxes facilitate the starting and stopping of the first and second presses.

[0012] Furthermore, the mounting base includes a base plate and a base fixed to the base plate. The base has an inverted U-shaped structure, and a positioning post for positioning the bearing mounting port is provided in the center of the top surface of the base. A through hole is opened in the center of the positioning post, penetrating the base and the base plate. The top end of the pressure rod passes through the through hole and the bearing mounting port in sequence and contacts the bottom of the oil-impregnated bearing. The positioning post facilitates the positioning of the wiper motor reduction housing.

[0013] Furthermore, the second press is fixed on the cylinder mounting base, which is fixed on the work platform. A guide sleeve is fixed between the cylinder mounting base and the work platform, and the pressure rod is slidably disposed within the guide sleeve. The guide sleeve constrains the movement trajectory of the pressure rod, eliminates lateral offset, ensures that the pressure rod applies force perpendicularly to the bottom surface of the bearing, improves the straightness of the pressing process, and extends the service life of the equipment.

[0014] Furthermore, the cylinder of the second press is equipped with a first magnetic sensor and a second magnetic sensor for limiting the stroke of the pressure rod. Both the first and second magnetic sensors are electrically connected to the controller. The first and second magnetic sensors facilitate the control of the upper and lower limits of the pressure rod stroke, preventing insufficient or excessive pressure, ensuring consistency of pressing parameters for each operation, and adapting to the needs of mass production.

[0015] Furthermore, the first press and the second press are a C-type servo press and a cylinder connected to the air tank, respectively. The C-type servo press provides high-precision controllable pressure, which facilitates stroke control; the pneumatic cylinder is low-cost and fast-responding, meeting the pressure requirements of the bottom foundation. The combination of the two balances performance and cost-effectiveness.

[0016] Furthermore, an electrical cabinet is installed at the bottom of the work platform, and the controller is fixed inside the cabinet. The electrical cabinet integrates the controller and wiring, realizing a modular layout, which facilitates equipment maintenance and troubleshooting. Attached Figure Description
