Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of partial improvement design of motor product quality inspection equipment, and in particular to a device for detecting the output shaft length of a motor. Background Technology
[0002] For micro motors, the output shaft is a crucial transmission component, and the required length varies depending on the size of the motor. Currently, the length of the motor output shaft is typically measured manually with a ruler, which can lead to inaccuracies. Alternatively, machine vision length measurement equipment can be used, employing one or more industrial cameras to capture clear images of the object being measured, depending on the length range and accuracy requirements. However, this process is complex and costly.
[0003] In the prior art, patent CN222211485U discloses a motor shaft length detection device, including a fixed plate. Multiple motor shaft supports are evenly distributed on the upper surface of the fixed plate. An L-shaped guard plate is provided at the upper end of the fixed plate. A crossbar is vertically fixed to one side of the L-shaped guard plate. The surface of the crossbar is evenly distributed with graduations. A slider is slidably connected to the outer side of the crossbar. A groove is provided at the lower end of the slider. A rotatable shaft is disposed within the groove. A connecting rod is fixed to the outer side of the shaft. A clamping plate is fixed to one end of the connecting rod. This motor shaft length detection device can improve the accuracy of motor shaft length detection and eliminates the need for reciprocating transport of the motor shaft, saving time and improving work efficiency.
[0004] Patent CN117029748B discloses a motor shaft length detection device, including a detection platform. The top surface of the detection platform has a notch, within which a conveyor belt is installed. A pair of fixed plates are centrally symmetrically arranged on the top surface of the detection platform, and a sliding groove is formed on one side of each pair of fixed plates. In this motor shaft length detection device, a pressure plate presses against the end of the motor shaft during detection. The pressure plate then pushes an inclined block to move, and the moving distance is detected by a displacement sensor connected to a microcomputer. The microcomputer calculates the length of the motor shaft based on the displacement of the sensor. Afterward, the pressure plate releases the motor shaft, and the length detection is repeated through the cooperation of a first telescopic rod, a second telescopic rod, and the conveyor belt. The entire detection process is automatic according to a pre-set program, making it convenient to operate and cheaper than machine vision length measurement systems, thus saving costs for enterprises.
[0005] In order to solve one of the above problems, this application provides a device for detecting the output shaft length of a motor. Utility Model Content

Then the sliding plate continues to lower its height until the sensing plate contacts the detection head. The two detection heads with different heights contact the sensing plate. The feedback signal of the contact between the sensing plate and the detection head is used to determine whether the length of the output shaft is qualified. Attached Figure Description

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments.

Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] Reference Figure 1-7As shown, this utility model discloses a motor output shaft length detection device, including a conveying and moving mechanism 2. The conveying and moving mechanism 2 includes a front-to-back moving component 24 and a left-to-right moving component 26. The left-to-right moving component 26 is installed on the front-to-back moving component 24. The left-to-right moving component 26 is provided with a plurality of conveying jigs 28. The conveying jigs 28 clamp the finished motor 4 and move it back and forth and left and right in the horizontal direction. The shaft length detection mechanism 8 includes a detection plate 81 and a shaft length detection component. The finished motor 4 clamped by the conveying jigs 28 is placed on the detection plate 81. The shaft length detection component is provided above the detection plate 81. The shaft length detection component includes a liftable sliding plate 894. The sliding plate 894 is equipped with a vertically movable detection column 890 and a detection head 895. A sensing plate 893 is provided outside the detection column 890. The sensing plate 893 is located below the detection head 895. The sliding plate 894 descends so that the detection column 890 contacts the output shaft of the finished motor 4 and contacts the detection head 895 through the sensing plate 893 to detect whether the length of the output shaft is qualified. In actual production, the detection head 895 includes two long-axis detection heads and a short-axis detection head with different lower limit positions. Both detection heads 895 and the sensing plate 893 are made of conductive materials (such as copper) and are respectively connected to an external controller through signal lines. The controller is a device of existing mature technology and will not be described in detail here.
[0030] This device is suitable for detecting the output shaft length of small or micro motor finished products 4. When the conveying and moving mechanism 2 transports the motor finished product 4 to the detection plate 81 of the shaft length detection station, the shaft length detection mechanism 8 starts to work, the sliding plate 894 starts to descend, and the height of the shaft length detection component decreases. When the detection column 890 contacts the output shaft of the motor finished product 4, the detection column 890 stops descending and the sensing plate 893 remains stationary. At this time, the sliding plate 894 continues to descend until it reaches the working position, pauses briefly, and then rises to reset, completing the operation. Since signal lines are led from the controller to the sensing plate 893 and two detection heads 895, when the sliding plate 894 is pressed down to the position (the lifting height is set according to the detection requirements), the detection signal will return to the controller through the detection head 895 that is in contact with the sensing plate 893, so as to determine whether the shaft length of the output shaft is qualified. The specific judgment criteria are as follows: if the short shaft detection head in the lower position is not in contact, no signal is input to the controller, and it is judged as short shaft, which is unqualified; if the long shaft detection head in the higher position is in contact, it is judged as long shaft, which is unqualified; if the short shaft detection head is in contact but the long shaft detection head is not in contact, it is judged as good product, which is qualified.
[0031] Example 2
[0032] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, based on the technical solution of Embodiment 1, a motor output shaft length detection device, for the specific structure of the conveying and moving mechanism 2, is as follows: Figure 2-3It is understood that the forward and backward moving assembly 24 includes a third cylinder 241 and a forward and backward moving plate 244. The forward and backward moving plate 244 is fixed on the telescopic shaft of the third cylinder 241. The third cylinder 241 is mounted on the third fixed plate 22. The third cylinder 241 pushes the forward and backward moving plate 244 to move forward or backward. In addition, the left and right moving assembly 26 includes a fourth cylinder 261 and a left and right moving plate 264. The left and right moving plate 264 is connected to an intermediate plate 265. The intermediate plate 265 is fixed on the telescopic shaft of the fourth cylinder 261. The fourth cylinder 261 is mounted on the fourth fixed plate 25. The fourth cylinder 261 pushes the intermediate plate 265 to move left and right, thereby driving the left and right moving plate 264 to move linearly to the left or right. To ensure the directional linear motion of the front-to-back moving plate 244 and the left-to-right moving plate 264, the front-to-back moving plate 244 is fixed on the third slider 243, which is slidably mounted on the third linear guide rail 242, which is fixed on the second upright plate 23; the left-to-right moving plate 264 is fixed on the fourth slider 263, which is slidably mounted on the fourth linear guide rail 262, and both the fourth linear guide rail 262 and the fourth fixed plate 25 are fixed on the front-to-back moving plate 244.
[0033] Furthermore, the transport fixture 28 includes a gripper 280, with a positioning sleeve 281 below the gripper 280 and mounted on the left and right moving plates 264 via a fixing sleeve 282. One end of the gripper 280 is partially covered by the sleeve, which connects to the left and right moving plates 264 and abuts one end of the gripper against the upper surface of the plates 264. The other end of the gripper is a semi-circular groove that matches the outer diameter of the finished motor 4. The positioning sleeve 281 is added to lift and support the bottom of the finished motor 4, and also to position and limit the terminals at the bottom of the finished motor 4, facilitating subsequent testing operations. In addition, the bottoms of the transport mechanism 2 and the shaft length inspection mechanism 8 are both mounted on a workbench. The workbench, as part of the motor testing equipment, provides installation space for mechanisms at various subsequent testing stations.
[0034] Example 3
[0035] Reference Figure 1-7 As shown, based on the technical solution of the above embodiments, a motor output shaft length detection device, regarding the specific structure of the shaft length detection mechanism 8, is as follows: Figure 4-7It is understood that the sliding plate 894 has an upper boss and a lower boss, which serve as upper and lower limits. The upper and lower bosses are arranged opposite each other and machined with through holes to accommodate the detection column 890. The through holes can serve as guides and are in clearance fit with the detection column 890. The detection column 890 is fitted into the mounting sleeve 891, which is located between the upper and lower bosses. The lifting range of the mounting sleeve 891 is limited to the area between the upper and lower bosses. In addition, a mounting plate 892 is placed on the mounting sleeve 891, and a sensing plate 893 is mounted on the mounting plate 892. Both the mounting plate 892 and the sensing plate 893 have openings to accommodate the detection column 890. The positions of the mounting plate 892 and the sensing plate 893 change with the height of the mounting sleeve 891.
[0036] Furthermore, a locking block 896 is fixed to the side of the sliding plate 894. The locking block 896 is machined with a locking hole to accommodate the detection head 895. The detection head 895 moves within the locking hole and has a lower limit position, that is, the detection head 895 can move up and down within the locking block 896. A step or other limiting insert is machined within the locking hole so that the detection head 895 meets the minimum height requirement of the bottom of the detection head 895 under its own weight. Furthermore, the sliding plate 894 is mounted on the tenth slider, which is slidably mounted on the tenth linear guide rail 86, providing both guiding and sliding functions. The tenth linear guide rail 86 is fixed to the vertical plate 87, which is mounted on the tenth fixed plate 84. The tenth cylinder 88 is mounted on the tenth fixed plate 84 and connected to the first connecting plate 83. The second connecting plate 85 is fixed to the first connecting plate 83, and the sliding plate 894 is fixed to the second connecting plate 85. Since the tenth cylinder 88 is mounted laterally, reducing the vertical installation space, it is necessary to design two connecting plates to indirectly drive the sliding plate 894 to move up and down. The tenth fixed plate 84 is mounted on the baffle 82, which is fixed to the detection plate 81. The detection plate 81 is mounted on the vertical plate 80, which is fixed to the workbench of the motor testing equipment.
[0037] Working principle: For the conveying and moving mechanism 2, the forward and backward moving component 24 first moves forward to its position, causing the conveying fixture 28 to hold the finished motor 4. Then, the left and right moving component 26 moves to the left to move the finished motor 4 to the shaft length inspection station to work with the shaft length inspection component (the inspection equipment is equipped with multiple inspection stations with different functions). After the finished motor 4 is in place, it is located on the inspection plate 65. After the shaft length inspection operation is completed, the forward and backward moving component 24 and the left and right moving component 26 are reset, and the entire action process is completed. The next operation process is repeated. Regarding the operation of the shaft length inspection mechanism 8, when the conveying and moving mechanism 2 transports the finished motor 4 to the inspection plate 81 at the shaft length inspection station, the tenth cylinder 88 of the shaft length inspection component starts to work, driving the sliding plate 894 to begin to descend, causing the height of the inspection column 890 to continuously decrease until it contacts the output shaft of the finished motor 4. At this time, the inspection column 890 stops descending and the sensing plate 893 remains stationary, while the sliding plate 894 continues to descend under the drive of the tenth cylinder 88 until it reaches the working position (that is, the descending height of the tenth cylinder 88 is set according to the actual situation, specifically referring to the descending height from the time the inspection column 890 contacts the output shaft until the tenth cylinder 88 stops working). After the controller receives the signal, the tenth cylinder 88 rises and resets, and the entire shaft length inspection operation is completed.
