Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electrical design technology in mechanical manufacturing, and in particular to a replacement tooling for a fault-driven device. Background Technology

[0002] In today's market, drive brands are diverse, and even within the same brand, there is a wide variety of drive models. If a drive malfunctions during use, and the supplier is unable to keep all available stock, requiring replacement, the customer must wait for the new drive to arrive and be replaced before restarting the equipment.

[0003] The drive unit is bolted to the factory's indoor control cabinet. When replacing the drive, the equipment must be powered off first, and sufficient time must be allowed to ensure all capacitors are fully discharged before disassembly. This allows for the removal of the old drive, replacement with the new drive, installation in the designated location, and proper connection of the new drive to the power supply and other relevant components. Furthermore, drive interfaces within the same control cabinet are often only compatible with one type of drive. Replacing with different drive models is cumbersome, often requiring a new drive of the same model from the supplier, necessitating system downtime. This installation method fails to meet the requirements for rapid replacement and needs improvement in terms of both time and startup efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0035] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0036] This application discloses a tooling for replacing faulty drive devices.

[0037] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2A replacement fixture for a faulty drive device includes a power distribution box 1, a drive 2, an integrated interface component 3, and a heavy-duty connector 4. The drive 2, integrated interface component 3, and heavy-duty connector 4 are all mounted on the power distribution box 1. The drive 2 achieves high-precision operation or controls collaborative work between devices by controlling a servo motor. The integrated interface component 3 connects the drive 2 to an external power supply, and the heavy-duty connector connects to the main motor of the external system. When the drive 2 fails, a new drive 2 is directly installed in the power distribution box 1, connected to the external power supply via the integrated interface component 3, and connected to the main motor of the external system via the heavy-duty connector. In this case, the drive 2 can be directly replaced by moving the power distribution box 1.

[0038] The distribution box 1 includes a distribution box body 5 and a distribution box door 6 for protecting the interior of the distribution box body 5. The distribution box body 5 and the distribution box door 6 are made of metal materials (such as stainless steel or iron plate) and are spliced ​​together, providing a protective function. The distribution box door 6 is connected to the distribution box body 5 by a hinge to form an openable and closable closed structure, protecting the internal components from environmental influences such as dust and moisture. In this embodiment, a carbon steel hinge is selected for the hinge structure. Carbon steel hinges are made of carbon steel material, which has excellent mechanical strength and impact resistance, and can withstand large loads.

[0039] The driver 2 is fixedly installed inside the distribution box 5 by bolts. In order to improve the efficiency of replacing the driver 2, the driver 2 is connected to the external power supply through the integrated interface component 3 on the distribution box 1. The integrated interface component 3 has two connection structure forms.

[0040] Reference Figure 2 Firstly, the integrated interface component 3 includes a driver connector 7 and an external socket 8, which are connected via a first electrical line 9. The driver connector 7 is used to connect with the driver 2. The external socket 8 is used to connect to an external power supply and is installed via a plug-in connection.

[0041] Reference Figure 2 Secondly, the integrated interface component 3 includes a driver connector 7 and a junction box 10, which are connected via a second electrical line 11. The junction box 10 is used for connection to an external power source.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 To improve replacement speed, the junction box 10 is designed on the bottom of the outer side of the distribution box 1. The junction box 10 consists of a junction box 12 and a terminal block 13. Two wire passage holes 14 are reserved on both sides of the junction box 12. The terminal block 13 is reserved with various specifications and all wires pass through the wire passage holes 14, which is conducive to adapting to wiring of various wire diameters and increasing its application range.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 The choice of which of the two integrated interface components 3 to connect depends on the actual application and the selection of different electrical circuits. If it is a pin-type terminal crimping wiring scheme, the external socket 8 is directly used for the connection scheme; if it is an OT-type terminal crimping wiring scheme, the junction box 10 is selected for the transition wiring scheme.

[0044] In this embodiment, in the above two wiring structure schemes of integrated interface component 3, the first electrical line 9 and the second electrical line 11 are bundled together to form an electrical line group 15. The wiring is arranged in the form of the electrical line group 15 so that the external socket 8 and the junction box 10 are close to each other, so that customers can choose to connect to the external socket 8 or the junction box 10 according to the actual situation.

[0045] Reference Figure 2 The driver 2 is connected to a power line 18, and a power plug 19 is connected to the end of the power line 18 for easy connection to an external power source. When installing the driver 2, the power line 18 of the driver 2 is left with an appropriate length to ensure efficient and convenient power access. In this embodiment, the power plug 19 is a Mannecos power plug. Using a Mannecos power plug for connection is suitable for rapid installation and temporary power supply scenarios, which helps to improve assembly and wiring efficiency.

[0046] The heavy-duty connector 4 includes a low-voltage signal cable assembly 16 and a connector 17 for communication between the driver 2 and other applications. The connector 17 is installed on the output side of the low-voltage signal cable assembly 16. The low-voltage signal cable assembly 16 has a reserved cable length on the driver 2 to accommodate more design schemes and increase assembly convenience.

[0047] In this embodiment, connector 17 is a HARTING heavy-duty connector, enabling plug-in installation and simplifying the assembly process and wiring procedures. HARTING heavy-duty connectors are high-reliability connectors designed specifically for industrial applications, suitable for electrical and signal transmission in harsh environments. Their unique dustproof and waterproof design ensures stable connections and effectively reduces the failure rate.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 Furthermore, the bottom of the distribution box 5 is provided with a wire hole 20, which has various diameter specifications to allow cables of different diameters to pass through.

[0049] Furthermore, the distribution box 5 has ventilation holes 21 to facilitate air circulation, and a heat dissipation mesh cover 22 is installed on the ventilation holes 21. The heat dissipation mesh cover 22 is installed on the upper right side of the distribution box 5 by screws. The heat dissipation mesh cover 22 is made of wire mesh or stainless steel, which has high strength, strong pressure resistance, is suitable for long-term use and is not easily deformed.

[0050] Furthermore, the back of the distribution box 5 is welded with hooks 23 to facilitate cable retraction and transport of the distribution box 1. The cable hooks 23 have an "L" shape. When organizing cables, they can be stored on the hooks 23, which can effectively utilize space and facilitate the movement of the distribution box 1.

[0051] Furthermore, the bottom of the distribution box 5 is equipped with a caster assembly 24 for easy transport of the distribution box 1. The caster assembly 24 includes two fixed casters 25 and two swivel casters 26. The fixed casters 25 have no rotating structure and can only rotate vertically, not horizontally 360 degrees. They are typically used in scenarios requiring linear movement. The swivel casters 26 have built-in ball or roller bearings in their brackets, allowing free horizontal rotation of 360 degrees, suitable for scenarios requiring flexible steering.

[0052] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. The protection scope of this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. All technical solutions falling within the scope of this utility model's concept are protected. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, any improvements and modifications made without departing from the principle of this utility model should also be considered within the protection scope of this utility model.
