Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor end cover technology, and in particular to a loading and unloading device for processing motor end covers. Background Technology

[0002] Motor end caps, also known as motor end covers or motor end shells, are an important component of motors. Motor end cap processing loading and unloading devices are specially designed to automatically or semi-automatically feed motor end caps into processing equipment for processing and remove them after processing.

[0003] Patent CN218319281U discloses an automatic coding and loading / unloading device for EPS motor end caps. It includes a conveyor belt, an industrial robot, a coding device, a protective plate, and a protective cover. The conveyor belt has a material holder for placing the motor end caps. The industrial robot is positioned at the middle of one end of two conveyor belts to grip the motor end caps. When using this patent, the grippers hold the motor end caps near the end of the industrial robot on the feed line and place them on a tooling base for loading. However, the grippers in this prior art lack reinforcement mechanisms, making it easy for the motor end caps to slip off during handling, leading to damage or loss and affecting product quality.

[0004] Therefore, there is a need to provide a loading and unloading device for processing motor end caps with an anti-drop function. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the existing patents, which have no reinforcement mechanism on the grippers and are prone to slipping off the motor end cap during handling, resulting in damage or loss of the motor end cap and affecting product quality, this utility model provides a loading and unloading device for processing motor end caps with an anti-drop function.

[0006] To address the aforementioned issues, this utility model employs the following technical solution: a loading and unloading device for processing motor end caps, comprising a robotic arm, a rotating shaft, a mounting plate, a first cylinder, and clamping blocks. The robotic arm is rotatably mounted on a rotating shaft, and a mounting plate is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft. The first cylinder is mounted on the mounting plate, and clamping blocks are fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the first cylinder. Identical clamping blocks are welded onto the mounting plate. The device also includes a mounting frame, a second cylinder, a connecting frame, a suction cup, air pipes, and an air pump. Two mounting frames are fixedly connected to the rotating shaft, and second cylinders are mounted on the two mounting frames. A connecting frame is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the second cylinders. An air pump is mounted on the rotating shaft, and two air pipes are connected to the air pump. Suction cups are connected to the air pipes.

[0007] Furthermore, it also includes a first mounting block, a guide block, a first elastic element, and a first placement plate. The first mounting block is fixedly connected to the robotic arm, and two guide blocks are fixedly connected to the first mounting block. The first placement plate is slidably arranged between the two guide blocks, and the first elastic element connects the first placement plate and the first mounting block.

[0008] Furthermore, it also includes a second mounting block, a placement frame, and a fixing sleeve. The second mounting block is fixedly connected to the robotic arm, the placement frame is slidably mounted on the second mounting block, and the fixing sleeve is clipped onto the placement frame and inserted into the second mounting block.

[0009] Furthermore, it also includes a second elastic element and a second placement plate, with the second placement plate slidably disposed inside the second mounting block, and the second elastic element connecting the second placement plate and the second mounting block.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes guide rods, with two guide rods fixedly connected to the first mounting block, and the first placement plate sliding on the two guide rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the clamps are equipped with anti-slip textures.

[0012] Furthermore, a limit block is fixedly connected to the guide rod.

[0013] Furthermore, an air outlet pipe is connected to the air pump.

[0014] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following technical effects: 1. By starting the air pump, the air pump draws gas from the two air pipes and the suction cup, making the suction cup a vacuum state, thereby firmly holding the motor end cover, thus preventing the motor end cover from slipping off the clamping block and ensuring the quality of the product.

[0015] 2. When the motor end cover is removed by the robotic arm, the pressure on the first placement plate decreases, causing the first elastic element to move the first placement plate and the motor end cover above it upwards, thereby achieving the function of automatic feeding and accelerating the feeding efficiency.

[0016] 3. By removing the fixing sleeve and then pulling the placement rack, the motor end cover on the placement rack can be removed together, making it easy to collect and store. Attached Figure Description

Detailed Implementation

[0024] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all 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.

[0025] Example 1: A loading and unloading device for machining motor end caps, see reference. Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes a robotic arm 1, a rotating shaft 2, a mounting plate 3, a first cylinder 4, and a clamping block 5. The rotating shaft 2 is rotatably mounted on the upper left side of the robotic arm 1. The mounting plate 3 is fixedly connected to the front end of the rotating shaft 2. The first cylinder 4 is bolted to the middle of the mounting plate 3. The clamping block 5 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 4. The same clamping block 5 is fixedly connected to the left side of the mounting plate 3. The two clamping blocks 5 are located on the same horizontal line. The system also includes a mounting frame 6, a second cylinder 7, a connecting frame 8, a suction cup 9, an air pipe 901, and an air pump 10. The mounting frame 6 is symmetrically fixedly connected to the rear side of the middle of the rotating shaft 2. The second cylinder 7 is bolted to the two mounting frames 6. The connecting frame 8 is fixedly connected to the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 7. The air pump 10 is mounted on the left side of the middle of the rotating shaft 2. The air pipe 901 is connected to both the upper and lower sides of the air pump 10. The suction cup 9 is connected to the end of the air pipe 901 and slides on the mounting plate 3.

[0026] See Figure 4As shown, the inner side of the clamping block 5 is provided with anti-slip texture 20, which helps to increase friction and prevent the motor end cover from slipping off during transportation.

[0027] See Figure 4 As shown, an air outlet pipe 901 is connected to the air pump 10.

[0028] When loading the motor end cover, firstly, operate the robotic arm 1 to align the mounting plate 3 on the robotic arm 1 with the motor end cover. Then, activate the first cylinder 4. The extension rod of the first cylinder 4 retracts, causing the clamping blocks 5 on it to move inward, thus clamping the motor end cover with the two clamping blocks 5. Subsequently, activate the air pump 10, which extracts gas from the two air pipes 901 and the suction cup 9, creating a vacuum inside the suction cup 9. This firmly holds the motor end cover in place, preventing it from slipping off the clamping blocks 5 and ensuring product quality. The motor... When the end cap is stuck on the clamping device in the processing area, the telescopic rod of the first cylinder 4 extends, causing the clamping block 5 on it to move outward, so that the clamping block 5 is disengaged from the motor end cap. Then the second cylinder 7 is activated, and the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 7 extends, causing it to move the connecting frame 8, the two suction cups 9 and the motor end cap above them forward. Then the air pump 10 is turned off, causing the suction cups 9 to disengage from the motor end cap, and the motor end cap is then stuck on the clamping device in the processing area. Then the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 7 is retracted, causing the components on it to reset, and then the motor end cap processing operation can be performed.

[0029] Example 2: Based on Example 1, refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes a first mounting block 11, a guide block 12, a first elastic element 13 and a first placement plate 14. The first mounting block 11 is fixedly connected to the lower left side of the robotic arm 1. The guide blocks 12 are symmetrically fixedly connected to the top of the first mounting block 11. The first placement plate 14 is slidably arranged between the two guide blocks 12. The first elastic element 13 is connected between the first placement plate 14 and the first mounting block 11.

[0030] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, it also includes guide rods 21. The top of the first mounting block 11 is symmetrically and fixedly connected with guide rods 21, and the first placement plate 14 slides on the two guide rods 21.

[0031] See Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a limit block is fixedly connected to the top of the guide rod 21.

[0032] Before feeding, an appropriate amount of motor end cap is poured into two guide blocks 12 and placed on the first placement plate 14. As the motor end cap increases, the first placement plate 14 moves downward to compress the first elastic member 13. The guide rod 21 acts as a guide. When the robotic arm 1 removes the motor end cap, the pressure on the first placement plate 14 decreases, causing the first elastic member 13 to move the first placement plate 14 and the motor end cap above it upward, thereby achieving the function of automatic feeding and accelerating the feeding efficiency.

[0033] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a second mounting block 15, a placement frame 16 and a fixing sleeve 17. The second mounting block 15 is fixedly connected to the lower right side of the robotic arm 1. The placement frame 16 is slidably mounted on the second mounting block 15. The fixing sleeve 17 is clipped onto the placement frame 16 and is clipped into the second mounting block 15.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes a second elastic member 18 and a second placement plate 19. The second placement plate 19 is slidably disposed inside the second mounting block 15, and the second elastic member 18 is connected between the second placement plate 19 and the second mounting block 15.

[0035] After the motor end cover is processed, the motor end cover is removed by the robotic arm 1 and its upper components, and then placed into the second mounting block 15, so that the motor end cover is placed on the second placement plate 19. The second elastic element 18 is compressed accordingly, thereby collecting the motor end cover into the placement rack 16. After collection, the fixed sleeve 17 is removed, and the placement rack 16 is pulled to remove the motor end cover from the placement rack 16, thus facilitating collection and storage.

Furthermore, it should be understood that after reading the teachings of this invention, those skilled in the art can make various alterations or modifications to the invention, and these equivalent forms also fall within the scope defined by the appended claims.
