[0034] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the overall structure of the assembly apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown. Figure 2 for Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the assembly device of the assembly equipment 100 from another perspective. (See diagram below.) Figure 1 and 2 As shown, this utility model proposes an assembly device. The assembly device of this utility model includes an assembly table 10, a feeding turntable 20, and an assembly mechanism 30. The feeding turntable 20 is disposed on the assembly table 10 and has a working station 21. The feeding turntable 20 can rotate around the axial direction. The assembly mechanism 30 is disposed on the assembly table 10 and includes a bending component 31 and a first assembly component. The bending component 31 and the first assembly component are disposed on the circumferential outer side of the feeding turntable 20. The working station 21 can correspond to the positions of the bending component 31 and the first assembly component, respectively. The working station 21 is used to receive the assembly parts. The bending component 31 is used to perform bending operations on the bending portion 3132 of the assembly parts. The first assembly component is used to assemble the first material into the assembly parts.

[0035] By using the assembly device in this technical solution, the assembly table 10 is used to support and fix the feeding turntable 20 and the assembly mechanism 30. The first feeding turntable 20 can rotate and correspond to the bending component 31 and the first assembly component respectively, thereby achieving the purpose of bending the part 3132 to be bent in the assembly component and assembling the first material into the assembly component. The assembly device in this invention achieves the correspondence between the first feeding turntable and the bending component and the first assembly component through the rotation of the first feeding turntable. Compared with a linear production line, it reduces the occupied area and achieves a greater degree of automation. It can perform assembly and processing operations on multiple parts, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0036] Specifically, in this embodiment, the assembly component is a combination component in which a skeleton and a pin are inserted and wound with enameled wire, the first material is a magnetic conductor, and the first accessory is a stationary iron core.

[0037] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bending assembly 31 includes a first fixed base 311, a lifting member 312, and a bending member 313. Both the lifting member 312 and the bending member 313 are connected to the first fixed base 311. A through hole is provided on the working station 21. The lifting member 312 can pass through the through hole and lift the assembled component on the working station 21. The bending member 313 can bend the part to be bent 3132. In this embodiment, when the working station 21 is rotated to a position corresponding to the bending assembly 31, the lifting member 312 can pass through the through hole and lift the assembled component on the working station 21. Then, the bending member 313 bends the part to be bent 3132 (i.e., the pin) of the assembled component to achieve the bending purpose.

[0038] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bending member 313 includes a rotating part 3131 and a bending part 3132 connected together. The rotating part 3131 is rotatably connected to the first fixed base 311. The bending part 3132 can move toward the assembly component as the rotating part 3131 rotates, so as to bend the part 3132 to be bent. In this embodiment, the bending part 3132 can move toward or away from the assembly component as the rotating part 3131 moves. Since the part 3132 to be bent is a pin, the bending part 3132 squeezes one end of the pin, thereby achieving the bending of the pin.

[0039] Specifically, in this embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the bending assembly 31 also includes a detection camera 315, which is connected to the first fixing seat 311 and is used to take pictures of the bent portion 3132 after bending.

[0040] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 3As shown, the bending assembly 31 also includes a support member 314, which is connected to the first fixed base 311 and can move toward or away from the work station 21. The support member 314 is used to abut against the bottom surface of the part to be bent 3132. In this embodiment, the support member 314 can provide abutment support under the part to be bent 3132 of the assembled component, which is lifted up, so that the bending part 3132 can bend the specific part of the pin. The pin that abuts against the support member 314 will not be bent, thus improving reliability.

The working station 21 corresponds to the position of the welding component 34. The welding component 34 includes a second fixed base and a welding part. The welding part is disposed on the second fixed base and can move toward the working station 21 to weld the assembly components. In this embodiment, the welding part can be a welding machine. By controlling the moving module of the welding machine, the welding part of the welding machine can be driven to weld toward the connection between the part to be bent 3132 and the enameled wire in the assembly component, thereby improving the stability of the part to be bent 3132 and the enameled wire and electrically connecting the part to be bent 3132 and the enameled wire.

[0042] In some embodiments of this utility model, such as Figure 1 and 2 As shown, the assembly mechanism 30 also includes a first detection component 33, which is disposed on the outer circumferential side of the feeding turntable 20. The working station 21 corresponds to the position of the first detection component 33. The first detection component 33 includes a third fixed base, a first visual inspection element, and a clamping element. Both the clamping element and the first visual inspection element are connected to the third fixed base. The clamping element can move toward or away from the working station 21 to clamp and lift the assembly component. The first visual inspection element is configured to face the assembly component clamped by the clamping element. In this embodiment, the first visual inspection element can be a camera, and the clamping element can be a gripper or a suction nozzle, etc., for fixing the assembly component. The clamping element can also move toward or away from the working station 21, that is, to lift or lower the assembly component. After the assembly component is lifted, the first detection component 33 takes a picture of the assembly component, which can reveal the outer diameter of the assembly component, and thus detect the diameter of the winding of the enameled wire on the outer side of the assembly component.

[0043] Specifically, in this embodiment, the gripper can also rotate around its own axis, which makes it easier for the first detection component 33 to take pictures of the assembled parts at multiple angles, thereby improving reliability and the accuracy of obtaining the diameter of the winding.

The conductive component is disposed on the fourth fixed base and can move toward or away from the working station 21 to perform a conductivity test on the assembled component. In this embodiment, the conductive component is energized and can move toward the assembled component on the working station 21 to make an electrical connection with the pins on the assembled component and detect the continuity test of the pins.

Since the work station 21 already has an assembly component, the feeding turntable 20 is rotated to the position corresponding to the first robotic arm 322. The first robotic arm 322 can then install the assembly component into the first material, thereby realizing the assembly of the first material and the assembly component.
