[0001] This application belongs to the field of motor assembly and processing technology, and more specifically, relates to a loading and unloading device. Background Technology

[0002] Rotor winding is an important step in motor production. In the current technology, in order to improve the production efficiency of motors, multi-station winding is usually adopted. Multiple winding stations are arranged closely in a row, and each winding station corresponds to a loading and unloading robot. As the number of winding machines increases, the number of robots also needs to increase accordingly, which leads to higher manufacturing costs.

[0003] How to provide a low-cost, multi-station material feeding device is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a loading and unloading device to solve the technical problem of high production costs in multi-station winding in the prior art.

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

[0006] A vertically arranged support frame has a sliding plate at its top that reciprocates along a first horizontal direction, a guide rod on the sliding plate that reciprocates along a vertical direction, a horizontal fixed plate at the bottom of the guide rod, and a clamping clamp that reciprocates along a second horizontal direction slidably mounted on the fixed plate; the first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0007] In one embodiment, the top of the support frame is provided with a first slide rail along a first horizontal direction, and the bottom of the sliding plate is provided with a first slider corresponding to the first horizontal slide rail.

[0008] In one embodiment, there are two support frames, which are arranged at intervals, and the two ends of the sliding plate are slidably connected to the two support frames respectively.

[0009] In one embodiment, there are two guide rods, which are spaced apart on the sliding plate. The two ends of the fixed plate are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the two guide rods, and the two guide rods move synchronously.

[0010] In one embodiment, the top ends of the two guide rods are connected by a connecting rod, which is connected to a driving component. The driving component drives the connecting rod to move, thereby causing the two guide rods to move synchronously.

[0011] In one embodiment, the sliding plate is provided with a guide hole, and a linear bearing is provided on the top surface and / or bottom surface of the guide hole, and the guide rod passes through the linear bearing and the guide hole.

[0012] In one embodiment, a second slide rail is provided at the bottom of the fixing plate along a second horizontal direction, a second slider is provided on the second slide rail, the second slider is fixedly connected to a clamp mounting plate, and the clamp is disposed on the clamp mounting plate.

[0013] In one embodiment, the number of clamps is two, and the two clamps are spaced apart on the clamp mounting plate.

[0014] In one embodiment, the fixing plate is further provided with two limiting plates spaced apart, the two limiting plates being located at both ends of the second slide rail, a contact block being provided between the clamp mounting plate and the second slider, and a position sensor facing the contact block being provided on both limiting plates.

[0015] In one embodiment, the clamping clamp includes a drive cylinder and two movable blocks driven by the drive cylinder. Each of the two movable blocks is provided with a clamping block, and the two clamping blocks close or separate under the drive of the drive cylinder.

[0016] This application provides a loading and unloading device, wherein a sliding plate reciprocates along a first horizontal direction, a guide rod reciprocates along a vertical direction, and a clamping clamp reciprocates along a second horizontal direction. The movement directions of the three components form a spatial coordinate system, which can realize the transfer of the rotor from the receiving station to any winding station.

Furthermore, in one or more embodiments, particular features, structures, or characteristics may be combined in any suitable manner.

[0029] Please see Figure 1 As shown, the loading and unloading device provided in the embodiments of this application will now be described. The loading and unloading device includes:

[0030] A vertically arranged support frame 1 has a sliding plate 2 at its top that reciprocates along a first horizontal direction, a guide rod 3 on the sliding plate 2 that reciprocates along a vertical direction, and a horizontal fixed plate 4 at the bottom of the guide rod 3. A clamping clamp 5 that reciprocates along a second horizontal direction is slidably mounted on the fixed plate 4. The first horizontal direction and the second horizontal direction are perpendicular to each other.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sliding plate 2 reciprocates along the first horizontal direction, the guide rod 3 reciprocates along the vertical direction, and the clamping clamp 5 reciprocates along the second horizontal direction. The directions of motion of these three components form a spatial coordinate system. This allows the rotor to be transferred from the receiving station to any winding station. The original technical solution requiring a separate loading / unloading robot for each winding station has been changed to a solution where multiple winding stations share a single loading / unloading device. This solves the problem of excessively high production costs in multi-station winding in existing technologies. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the clamping clamp 5 can be directly or indirectly connected to the fixed plate 4.

[0032] In one embodiment, the support frame 1 has a first slide rail 6 at its top along a first horizontal direction, and the sliding plate 2 has a first slider 7 at its bottom corresponding to the first slide rail 6. In this embodiment, the sliding plate 2 moves along the first horizontal direction through the cooperation of the first slider 7 and the first slide rail 6, as shown in the figure. In this embodiment, there is only one first slide rail 6, one end of the sliding plate 2 is connected to the first slide rail 6 through the first slider 7, and the extending direction of the sliding plate 2 is perpendicular to the first slide rail 6.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the power source of the first slider 7 is pneumatic, electric, or hydraulic; that is, the first slider 7 is driven to slide on the first slide rail 6 by a power component to change its position, thereby causing the sliding plate 2 to change its position in the plane; for example, by connecting the first slider 7 to the moving component of a cylinder, hydraulic cylinder, or linear motor, so that it is driven to slide on the first slide rail 6.

[0034] It should be noted that, although in this embodiment, the sliding plate 2 and the support frame 1 are mutually cooperated by the first slide rail 6 and the first slider 7, in the prior art, the cooperation between the slide rod and the slider, or the cooperation between the lead screw and the slider, or the cooperation between the roller guide rails are all equivalent to the features of this technology.

[0035] In one embodiment, there are two support frames 1, which are arranged at intervals. The two ends of the sliding plate 2 are slidably connected to the two support frames 1 respectively. As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, two support frames 1 are provided, and a first slide rail 6 is provided on the top of each of the two support frames 1. A first slider 7 is provided on both ends of the sliding plate 2. The two first sliders 7 move synchronously to drive the sliding plate 2 to move.

[0036] In this embodiment, the movement of the sliding plate 2 is driven by two first slide rails 6 and a first slider 7, which ensures the uniformity of the overall force on the structure. Compared with the technical solution with only one first slide rail 6, the stability of the movement of the sliding plate 2 is effectively improved.

[0037] In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, there are two guide rods 3, which are spaced apart on the sliding plate 2. The two ends of the fixing plate 4 are respectively connected to the bottom ends of the two guide rods 3, and the two guide rods 3 move synchronously. Similarly, by having two guide rods 3 reciprocate simultaneously in the vertical direction, it is beneficial to ensure the smoothness of the movement of the clamping clamp 5. In this embodiment, the two guide rods 3 can be connected to different drive components 9, as long as their synchronous movement is ensured. For example, they can be connected to a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear motor, and the two guide rods 3 can be raised or lowered simultaneously by program control.

[0038] In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the top ends of the two guide rods 3 are connected by a connecting rod 8. The connecting rod 8 is connected to a driving component 9, and the driving component 9 drives the connecting rod 8 to move, thereby causing the two guide rods 3 to move synchronously. By connecting the top ends of the two guide rods 3 with a connecting rod 8 and then connecting the connecting rod 8 to the driving component 9, the two guide rods 3 can move synchronously when the driving component 9 drives the connecting rod 8 to move. Compared with connecting the two guide rods 3 to different driving components 9 respectively, this embodiment reduces the number of driving components 9, further reducing the operating cost of the loading and unloading mechanism.

[0039] In one embodiment, the sliding plate 2 is provided with a guide hole, and a linear bearing 10 is provided on the top surface and / or bottom surface of the guide hole. The guide rod 3 passes through the linear bearing 10 and the guide hole. Using the linear bearing 10 to guide the guide rod 3, the rolling friction between the balls inside the linear bearing 10 and the outer surface of the guide rod 3 helps to ensure the smooth movement of the guide rod 3. Preferably, linear bearings 10 are provided on both the top and bottom surfaces of the guide hole.

[0040] In one embodiment, a second slide rail 11 is provided at the bottom of the fixed plate 4 along a second horizontal direction, and a second slider 12 is provided on the second slide rail 11. The second slider 12 is fixedly connected to a clamp mounting plate 13, and the clamp 5 is disposed on the clamp mounting plate 13. In this embodiment, the clamp mounting plate 13 reciprocates along the second horizontal direction under the drive of the slider, and the clamp 5 is disposed on the clamp mounting plate 13 and can reciprocate along the second horizontal direction under the drive of the clamp mounting plate 13. Similarly, in this embodiment, the cooperation between the slide rod and the slider, or the cooperation between the lead screw and the slider, or the cooperation between the roller guide rail are all equivalent to the technical features of this embodiment.

[0041] In one embodiment, the number of clamps 5 is two, and the two clamps 5 are spaced apart on the clamp mounting plate 13. By setting two clamps 5, two rotors to be wound can be transferred at a time, which helps to improve the overall work efficiency.

[0042] In one embodiment, the fixing plate 4 is further provided with two limiting plates 14 spaced apart. The two limiting plates 14 are respectively located at both ends of the second slide rail 11. A contact block 15 is provided between the clamp mounting plate 13 and the second slider 12. Each of the two limiting plates 14 is provided with a position sensor 16 facing the contact block 15. As shown in the figure, by setting the position sensor 16, when the contact block 15 touches the position sensor 16, it indicates that the second slider 12 has reached its limit position. The material picking station or feeding station can be set at the position directly opposite the clamp 5 when the second slider 12 reaches its limit position, thereby positioning the material picking and unloading. It should be noted that the position sensor 16 in this embodiment can be a touch switch or a limit switch.

[0043] In one embodiment, as shown in the figure, the clamping clamp 5 includes a drive cylinder 51 and two movable blocks 52 driven by the drive cylinder 51. Each of the two movable blocks 52 is equipped with a clamping block 53, which closes or separates under the drive of the drive cylinder 51. When the clamping blocks 53 close, material is picked up; when they separate, material is released. In this embodiment, a clamping opening is formed in the middle of the two clamping blocks 53, and the opening faces downwards. When the rotor to be processed is transported to the picking station, its rotation axis is upwards, and the clamping blocks 53 clamp the rotation axis when they close. This embodiment, by designing the clamping clamp 5 to pick up material by the closing of two clamping blocks 53, enhances the versatility of the clamping clamp 5 to accommodate rotors of different specifications.

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.

[0045] 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.
