Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of motor installation tools, and more specifically, to a hoisting tool for installing robot motors. Background Technology

[0002] Robots commonly used in automotive factories typically have six-axis motors, with the second and third axes being particularly difficult to install. This is due to several reasons: 1. Most robots have extended bases, resulting in varying installation heights. The dense equipment and limited space within factories make it difficult to use large lifting tools, and installation personnel face challenges in operation. 2. The motors are quite heavy, typically weighing up to 25kg. Manually holding the motor during installation poses a risk of falling. 3. The assembly of the motor and reducer uses a high-precision splined gear shaft. During installation, it's crucial to maintain a horizontal position. Manually holding a heavy motor is difficult to stabilize, and obstructed visibility makes alignment challenging. Utility Model Content

[0003] To overcome the problem of inconvenient robot motor installation in the prior art, this utility model provides a hoisting tool for robot motor installation.

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a hoisting tool for installing robot motors, comprising: a mounting base, the mounting base being fixedly connected to the base of a robot, a support rod being fixedly connected to the mounting base vertically, a lifting rail arm being rotatably connected to the support rod horizontally, the lifting rail arm being rotatable around the circumference of the support rod, and a balancer being movably connected to the lifting rail arm along its length direction, the balancer being used to hoist the robot motor to be installed.

[0005] In this invention, a balancer connects the robot motor to be installed. The lifting arm rotates circumferentially around the support rod, causing the robot motor to rotate and adjust its installation position in the horizontal plane. The balancer can vertically adjust the lifting height of the robot motor and also slide along the lifting arm, allowing for position adjustment of the robot motor in various directions in space. Since the weight of the entire robot motor is borne by the lifting operation, the installer does not need to bear the load; the installer only needs to adjust the installation position, facilitating safe and accurate installation of the robot motor.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a first diagonal brace, one end of which is fixedly connected to the mounting base, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the support rod. The first diagonal brace, the mounting base, and the support rod are arranged in a triangular pattern.

[0007] In this design, a triangular reinforcement structure is formed between the first diagonal brace, the mounting base, and the support rod to improve the structural stability of the hoisting tool.

[0008] Furthermore, the lifting arm has a guide groove along its length, and a lifting ring is movably connected in the guide groove, with the balancer suspended on the lifting ring.

[0009] In this design, the balancer can move on the overhead rail arm via guide grooves and lifting rings, facilitating the adjustment of the robot motor's horizontal mounting position.

[0010] Furthermore, the upper end of the lifting ring is rotatably connected to a traveling wheel, which is rolled in the guide groove.

[0011] In this design, wheels are installed to facilitate the movement of the lifting ring within the guide groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the lifting rail arm has a bearing mounting hole in the vertical direction, and the upper end of the support rod is rotatably connected to the bearing mounting hole through a bearing.

[0013] In this design, the lifting arm and support rod are rotatably connected by bearings.

[0014] Furthermore, it also includes a second diagonal brace, one end of which is fixedly connected to the suspension rail arm, and the other end of which is rotatably connected to the support rod. The second diagonal brace, the suspension rail arm, and the second diagonal brace are arranged in a triangular pattern.

[0015] In this design, a triangular reinforcement structure is formed between the second diagonal brace, the suspension rail arm, and the support rod to improve the stability of the structure.

[0016] Furthermore, the second diagonal brace is disposed below the suspension rail arm, and a roller assembly is connected to the lower end of the second diagonal brace. The roller assembly makes circumferential rolling contact with the support rod.

[0017] In this design, the second diagonal brace is rotatably connected to the support rod via a roller assembly, thus providing support.

[0018] Furthermore, the roller assembly includes a roller seat, a first roller, and a second roller. The roller seat is fixedly connected to the lower end of the second diagonal brace. The first roller and the second roller are rotatably connected to the roller seat. The first roller and the second roller are located on both sides of the central axis of the support rod and are in circumferential rolling contact with the support rod.

[0019] In this design, the roller assembly provides good auxiliary support by having rollers on both sides make rolling contact with the support rod.

[0020] Furthermore, it also includes a reinforcing rod, one end of which is fixedly connected to the suspension rail arm, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the second diagonal brace. The reinforcing rod, the support rod, and the suspension rail arm are arranged in a triangular pattern.

[0021] In this design, the connection between the suspension rail arm and the second diagonal brace is reinforced by a reinforcing rod.

[0022] Furthermore, the robot's base has a forklift hole, and the cross-sectional shape of the mounting base matches the shape of the forklift hole.

[0023] In this design, the rectangular cross-section mounting base can be matched with the forklift hole, thus ensuring the stable fixation of the bottom of the lifting tool.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0025] This utility model discloses a hoisting tool for installing robot motors. It connects to the robot motor to be installed via a balancer. The hoisting arm rotates circumferentially around a support rod, causing the robot motor to rotate and adjust its installation position in the horizontal plane. The balancer can vertically adjust the hoisting height of the robot motor and can also slide along the hoisting arm, allowing for positional adjustments of the robot motor in various directions in space. Since the entire weight of the robot motor is borne by the hoisting operation, the installer does not need to bear the load and only needs to adjust the installation position, facilitating safe and accurate installation of the robot motor.

[0037] In this embodiment, the robot motor to be installed is connected via a balancer 4. The lifting arm 3 rotates circumferentially around the support rod 2, causing the robot motor to rotate in the horizontal plane to adjust its installation position. The balancer 4 can vertically adjust the lifting height of the robot motor, and it can also slide along the lifting arm 3, allowing for position adjustment of the robot motor in various directions in space. Since the entire weight of the robot motor is borne by the lifting operation, the installer does not need to bear the load; the installer only needs to adjust the installation position to ensure safe and accurate installation of the robot motor.

[0038] exist Figures 1 to 5 In the middle, the balancer 4 is only Figure 2 As shown in the diagram. The balancer 4 can be an existing pneumatic balancer or spring balancer, etc., and can be selected with a safety mechanism to prevent the suspended object from falling and to allow manual locking of the suspended object. For example, a pneumatic balancer is chosen, which utilizes the principles of gas dynamics to balance the weight of materials, suspending heavy objects in the air and reducing labor intensity. The balancer 4 is existing technology, and its internal structure will not be described in detail here.

[0039] refer to Figure 1 The hoisting equipment also includes a first diagonal brace 5. One end of the first diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 1, and the other end of the first diagonal brace 5 is fixedly connected to the support rod 2.
