Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of stator heat fitting equipment, and more specifically, relates to a housing adhesive dispensing mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] An electric motor is a device that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy. It typically includes a stator, rotor, shaft, bearings, radiator, and housing. The housing protects the internal components and provides mechanical support and insulation. The housing is usually made of metal or plastic and possesses a certain structural strength and protective performance. To assemble the stator assembly into the motor housing, the housing must first be heated, the stator assembly placed inside, and then cooled to complete the assembly.

[0003] In existing stator heat-shrinking equipment, before pressing the stator assembly, manual application of adhesive is required in the adhesive storage tank on the inner wall of the housing to increase the bonding strength between the stator assembly and the motor housing. However, existing stator heat-shrinking equipment suffers from the technical problem of high labor intensity. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a housing dispensing mechanism to solve the technical problem of high labor intensity in existing stator heat fitting equipment.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in the embodiments of this application is as follows:

[0006] A casing dispensing mechanism is provided, including a base plate, a base, a bracket, a sliding drive component, a lifting drive component, and a dispensing assembly. The lifting drive component is mounted on the bracket and drives the dispensing assembly to perform lifting movements. The base is slidably mounted on the base plate along a first horizontal direction and can slide below the dispensing assembly. The base has a positioning opening for placing the casing. The sliding drive component drives the base to slide.

[0007] In one embodiment, the base includes a first seat and a second seat, the first seat being slidably mounted on the base plate along the first horizontal direction, and the second seat being detachably mounted on the top of the first seat.

[0008] In one embodiment, the top of the first base is provided with a circular positioning hole and a positioning pin, the positioning pin being located outside the circular positioning hole. The bottom of the second base is provided with a circular positioning protrusion, the circular positioning protrusion being embedded in the circular positioning hole. The second base also has a through positioning hole for the positioning pin to pass through.

[0009] In one embodiment, the sidewall of the positioning opening has a positioning notch for the passage of a rib of the housing.

[0010] In one embodiment, the housing dispensing mechanism includes a first photoelectric detection component, the detection height of which is flush with the positioning opening; when the base is located below the dispensing component, the detection light from the first photoelectric detection component passes through the side of the base near the lifting drive component.

[0011] And / or, the housing dispensing mechanism includes a second photoelectric detection component, the detection height of which is flush with the positioning opening; when the base is located below the dispensing component, the detection light from the second photoelectric detection component passes through the side of the base away from the lifting drive component.

[0012] In one embodiment, the housing dispensing mechanism includes a first limiting rod, which is mounted on the base plate. The first limiting rod is located in the sliding direction of the base and at one end close to the lifting drive member, so as to limit the base to stay directly below the dispensing assembly.

[0013] And / or, the housing dispensing mechanism includes a second limiting rod, which is mounted on the base plate and located in the sliding direction of the base and at one end away from the lifting drive member, so as to limit the sliding distance of the base away from the lifting drive member.

[0014] In one embodiment, the housing dispensing mechanism further includes a collection assembly, which includes a translation drive and a collection box. The height of the collection box is located between the base and the dispensing assembly, and the translation drive is used to drive the collection box to translate directly below the dispensing assembly.

[0015] In one embodiment, the translation drive is a linear cylinder, which is used to drive the collection box to translate along the first horizontal direction.

[0016] In one embodiment, the translation drive and the bracket are spaced apart along a second horizontal direction, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction. The collection assembly further includes an adapter plate, one end of which is connected to the translation drive, and the other end of which extends along the second horizontal direction toward the bracket. The collection box is mounted on the other end of the adapter plate.

[0017] In one embodiment, the base plate is provided with a first slide rail, the length direction of the first slide rail is consistent with the first horizontal direction, the base is slidably mounted on the first slide rail by a slider, and the bracket and the base plate are distributed at intervals along the first horizontal direction.

[0018] The casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application embodiment has at least the following beneficial effects: the casing is positioned on the base through the positioning opening, and the sliding drive drives the base to slide along the first horizontal direction on the base plate until it slides directly below the dispensing assembly. The dispensing assembly automatically descends and approaches the casing under the drive of the lifting drive and automatically dispenses glue, reducing the labor intensity of the workers. After the dispensing is completed, the lifting drive drives the dispensing assembly to move upward, and the sliding drive drives the base to slide in the opposite direction.

[0034] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 The casing dispensing mechanism provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described.

[0035] The housing dispensing mechanism includes a base plate 100, a base 200, a bracket 300, a sliding drive 410, a lifting drive 420, and a dispensing assembly 500. The lifting drive 420 is mounted on the bracket 300 and drives the dispensing assembly 500 to move up and down. The base 200 is slidably mounted on the base plate 100 along the first horizontal direction X. The base 200 can slide below the dispensing assembly 500. The base 200 has a positioning opening 201 for placing the housing 10. The sliding drive 410 drives the base 200 to slide.

[0036] The housing 10 is positioned on the base 200 via the positioning opening 201. The sliding drive component 410 drives the base 200 to slide along the first horizontal direction X on the base plate 100 until it slides directly below the dispensing assembly 500. The dispensing assembly 500 automatically descends and approaches the housing 10 under the drive of the lifting drive component 420, and automatically dispenses glue, reducing the labor intensity of the workers. After the dispensing is completed, the lifting drive component 420 drives the dispensing assembly 500 to move upward, and the sliding drive component 410 drives the base 200 to slide in the opposite direction.

[0037] Specifically, the inner wall of the housing 10 is provided with a dispensing groove 11, which extends vertically. When the base 200 slides to the bottom of the dispensing assembly 500, the dispensing groove 11 and the dispensing head of the dispensing assembly 500 are located on the same vertical line.

[0038] In one embodiment, see Figure 3 and Figure 4 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the base 200 includes a first seat 210 and a second seat 220. The first seat 210 is slidably mounted on the base plate 100 along a first horizontal direction X, and the second seat 220 is detachably mounted on the top of the first seat 210. For easy observation of the top structure, Figure 3 and Figure 4The first base 210 is shown only in its top plate-like structure; the bottom structure is not shown. In this embodiment, the second base 220 is replaceable through disassembly and can be positioned and installed on housings 10 of different sizes.

[0039] In one embodiment, see Figures 1 to 4 As a specific embodiment of the housing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the top of the first base 210 is provided with a circular positioning hole 211 and a positioning pin 230. The positioning pin 230 is located outside the circular positioning hole 211. The bottom of the second base 220 is provided with a circular positioning protrusion 221, which is embedded in the circular positioning hole 211. The second base 220 also has a through positioning hole 222 for the positioning pin 230 to pass through.

[0040] Based on this, the circular positioning hole 211 and the circular positioning protrusion 221 achieve circumferential positioning of the second seat 220 on the first seat 210, thereby improving the assembly accuracy. The positioning pin 230 achieves radial positioning of the second seat 220, preventing the second seat 220 from rotating on the first seat 210.

[0041] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 4 As a specific embodiment of the housing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the side wall of the positioning opening 201 has a positioning notch 202, which is used for the protruding rib 12 of the housing 10 to pass through. When the housing 10 is placed into the positioning opening 201 of the base 200, the positioning notch 202 guides the protruding rib 12 to be placed. At this time, the side wall of the positioning notch 202 will fit against the side of the protruding rib 12, forcibly restricting the rotational freedom of the housing 10 in the circumferential direction, thereby restricting the rotational freedom of the dispensing groove 11 and improving the alignment between the dispensing groove 11 and the dispensing assembly 500.

[0042] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the casing dispensing mechanism includes a first photoelectric detection component 610, the detection height of which is flush with the positioning opening 201. When the base 200 is located below the dispensing component 500, the detection light from the first photoelectric detection component 610 passes through the side of the base 200 near the lifting drive component 420.

[0043] When the sliding drive component 410 drives the base 200 to slide downwards towards the dispensing assembly 500, the detection light from the first photoelectric detection component 610 passes through the side of the base 200 near the lifting drive component 420, indicating that the base 200 is in position. The housing 10 on the base 200 is aligned with the dispensing assembly 500 in the first horizontal direction X, ensuring that the dispensing process proceeds in an orderly manner according to the preset logic, reducing manual intervention, further improving the automation level and reliability of the entire dispensing mechanism, and reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0044] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the casing dispensing mechanism includes a second photoelectric detection component 620, the detection height of which is flush with the positioning opening 201. When the base 200 is located below the dispensing component 500, the detection light from the second photoelectric detection component 620 passes through the side of the base 200 away from the lifting drive component 420. When the sliding drive component 410 drives the base 200 to slide below the dispensing component 500, the detection light from the second photoelectric detection component 620 passes through the side of the base 200 away from the lifting drive component 420, indicating that the base 200 is in position and the casing 10 on the base 200 is aligned with the dispensing component 500 in the first horizontal direction X, ensuring that the dispensing process proceeds in an orderly manner according to the preset logic, reducing manual intervention, further improving the automation level and reliability of the entire dispensing mechanism, and reducing the labor intensity of the workers.

[0045] Specifically, the detection beams of the first photoelectric detection component 610 and the second photoelectric detection component 620 are both folded by the base 200 and further blocked by the second seat 220. The base 200 is located between the first photoelectric detection component 610 and the second photoelectric component, that is, the position of the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction X is determined to ensure that the position of the housing 10 in the first horizontal direction X is the same as the position of the dispensing component 500 in the first horizontal direction X, and the two are aligned.

[0046] Specifically, the first photoelectric detection component 610 and the second photoelectric detection component 620 are located on the same side of the base plate 100.

[0047] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the casing dispensing mechanism includes a first limiting rod 630, which is installed on the base plate 100. The first limiting rod 630 is located in the sliding direction of the base 200 and is located at one end close to the lifting drive member 420, so as to limit the base 200 to stay directly below the dispensing assembly 500.

[0048] The sliding drive component 410 drives the base 200 to slide along the first horizontal direction X until the base 200 abuts against the first limit rod 630, and the surface base 200 slides into place, forcing the base 200 to stop at the physical reference position directly below the dispensing assembly 500, ensuring that the relative position of the dispensing head and the housing 10 is completely matched.

[0049] Optionally, there are two first limiting rods 630, which are spaced apart in the second horizontal direction Y. The sliding drive member 410 is located between the two first limiting rods 630 so that the sliding driving force borne by the base 200 and the limiting force applied by the two first limiting rods 630 are balanced, and no torque is generated.

[0050] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the casing dispensing mechanism includes a second limiting rod 640. The second limiting rod 640 is mounted on the base plate 100 and is located in the sliding direction of the base 200, at the end away from the lifting drive member 420, so as to limit the sliding distance of the base 200 away from the lifting drive member 420. After the base 200 completes dispensing, the sliding drive member 410 will drive it to slide away from the lifting drive member 420. The second limiting rod 640, as a mechanical hard limit for reverse sliding, can forcibly prevent the base 200 from continuing to slide, thus preventing the base 200 from detaching from the base plate 100.

[0051] Optionally, there is one second limiting rod 640, and the second limiting rod 640 and the sliding drive member 410 are located on the same straight line so that the sliding driving force borne by the base 200 is balanced by the limiting force applied by the second limiting rod 640, and no torque is generated.

[0052] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 5 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the casing dispensing mechanism further includes a collection component 700. The collection component 700 includes a translation drive 710 and a collection box 720. The height of the collection box 720 is located between the base 200 and the dispensing component 500. The translation drive 710 is used to drive the collection box 720 to translate directly below the dispensing component 500.

[0053] After the dispensing process is completed, residual glue inside the dispensing assembly 500 may continue to drip due to gravity or air pressure fluctuations. The dripping glue may cover the non-dispensing area on the surface of the housing 10 or the base 200, requiring manual cleaning or rework, which increases labor intensity. The translation drive 710 moves the collection box 720 directly under the dispensing assembly 500 to catch the dripping glue, avoid contamination, and reduce the labor intensity of the workers.

[0054] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the translation drive 710 is a linear cylinder, which drives the collection box 720 to translate along the first horizontal direction X. The linear cylinder has a short response time, allowing the collection box 720 to quickly move below the dispensing assembly 500 after dispensing and to quickly move away before the next dispensing. The linear drive of the collection box 720 along the first horizontal direction X (which is consistent with or coordinated with the sliding direction of the base 200) reduces the time loss associated with changing the direction of motion.

[0055] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5 As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the translation drive 710 and the bracket 300 are distributed at intervals along the second horizontal direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first horizontal direction X. The collection assembly 700 also includes an adapter plate 730, one end of which is connected to the translation drive 710, and the other end of which extends along the second horizontal direction Y toward the bracket 300. The collection box 720 is installed on the other end of the adapter plate 730.

[0056] Based on this, the translation drive 710 and the bracket 300 maintain a safe distance in the second horizontal direction Y, which not only avoids direct interference between the two, but also allows the collection box 720 to accurately reach directly below the dispensing assembly 500 by extending the function of the upper adapter plate 730 across this safe distance.

[0057] Specifically, the adapter plate 730 is located below the lifting drive component 420, and the two do not interfere with each other. The dispensing assembly 500 is located on the side of the lifting drive component 420 in the first horizontal direction X near the base 200, rather than below the lifting drive component 420, and will not interfere with the adapter plate 730. Driven by the lifting drive component 420, the dispensing assembly 500 can descend into the housing 10 and apply dispensing from bottom to top into the dispensing groove 11. At this time, the adapter plate 730 and the collection box 720 are located directly below the lifting drive component 420 (e.g., ...). Figure 1 (As shown). After dispensing is completed, the dispensing assembly 500 moves upward under the drive of the lifting drive 420 until it is above the adapter plate 730. Under the drive of the translation drive 710, the adapter plate 730 moves along the first horizontal direction X to directly below the dispensing assembly 500. The collection box 720 receives the dripping glue to avoid contamination.

[0058] In one embodiment, see Figure 1 and Figure 2As a specific embodiment of the casing dispensing mechanism provided in this application, the base plate 100 is provided with a first slide rail 110, the length direction of the first slide rail 110 is consistent with the first horizontal direction X, and the base 200 is slidably mounted on the first slide rail 110 by a slider. The bracket 300 and the base plate 100 are distributed at intervals along the first horizontal direction X. By cooperating with the first slide rail 110, the offset of the base 200 perpendicular to the first horizontal direction X can be limited.

[0059] It should be understood that the sequence number of each step in the above embodiments does not imply the order of execution. The execution order of each process should be determined by its function and internal logic, and should not constitute any limitation on the implementation process of the embodiments of this application.

[0060] The above description is merely an optional embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
