Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated machinery, and in particular to a material discharge device for automated assembly. Background Technology

[0002] As the core component that converts electrical energy into mechanical energy, the electric motor typically consists of two parts: a rotor and a stator. The rotor comprises a rotor core and magnets, with the magnets housed within the rotor core. In permanent magnet motor design, the rotor core requires multiple magnet slots for mounting the magnets (or magnetic steel), and these slots are distributed in a specific geometric pattern around the rotor's central axis. There are two main basic distribution patterns: one is as follows... Figure 1 The magnet slots shown are arranged radially, that is, the long, strip-shaped storage slots are arranged radially around a virtual center; another type is as follows: Figure 2 The magnet slots b shown are arranged in a ring, that is, the strip-shaped storage slots are distributed in a ring around the virtual center, and each slot is tangent to the virtual circle drawn with the virtual center.

[0003] While this multi-directional magnet slot design optimizes the magnetic circuit structure and motor performance, it presents significant challenges during actual assembly. Because each magnet slot has a different spatial orientation, traditional production methods rely solely on manual operation, requiring workers to insert strong magnets one by one into their respective slots. This method is not only labor-intensive but also inefficient.

[0004] To address the various drawbacks of manual assembly, the industry has attempted to develop several automated assembly solutions, but all have significant limitations. A common automation solution involves using a turntable mechanism with multiple workstations for sequential operations, including material loading, positioning, and magnet insertion. While this design improves efficiency compared to purely manual operation, it still struggles to achieve precise positioning and assembly for magnet slots distributed in multiple directions. This is especially true when the magnet slots are arranged radially or tangentially in a ring, as traditional mechanical guiding mechanisms cannot adapt to the different angle requirements of each slot.

[0005] The rotor core can be called the containing element, the magnet can be called the contained element, and the magnet slot can be called the contained element slot. The same problems exist for the assembly of other containing elements and contained elements with the same issues.

[0006] Based on the above analysis, there is an urgent need for an automated assembly technology that can adapt to the distribution of slots in multi-directional contained parts in order to improve assembly efficiency. Utility Model Content

The feeding trough has a lower opening facing the opening of the conveyor belt along the conveying direction. The feeding extension includes a discharge extension trough with openings at both ends. One end of the discharge extension trough is connected to the discharge opening. The width of the feeding trough matches the enclosed member, so that the enclosed member is carried on the conveyor belt and located in the feeding trough, and is conveyed by the conveyor belt to the discharge extension trough along the feeding trough.

[0020] Preferably, the feeding mechanism further includes a discharge control device, which includes a magnetic base with the discharge port and a discharge cylinder. The discharge port is connected to the discharge extension groove. The discharge cylinder is located above or below the discharge port. The magnetic base has a switch channel that is vertically connected to the discharge port. The movable part of the discharge cylinder extends into or out of the discharge port from the switch channel to control the opening and closing of the discharge port.

[0021] Preferably, the feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder, the discharge track outlet of the vibratory feeder being disposed opposite the feed opening; the conveying frame has mounting portions extending to both sides of the belt conveyor perpendicular to the conveying direction, the mounting portions being correspondingly connected to the sides of the conveying frame to fix the conveying frame.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] The automated assembly unloading equipment proposed in this utility model includes a feeding mold, a feeding mechanism, a mold rotation mechanism, an unloading / loading conversion mechanism, and a lifting mechanism. The feeding mold has multiple long storage slots that run through it along the axial direction. The long storage slots are arranged radially around a virtual center or distributed in a ring around a virtual center, so that the long storage slots correspond one-to-one with the slots of the contained parts on the containing parts. The mold rotation mechanism drives the feeding mold to rotate around its axis, so that the long storage slots are sequentially aligned with the discharge port of the feeding mechanism. When the long storage slots are aligned with the discharge port, the feeding mechanism outputs the contained parts from the discharge port to the long storage slots, thereby storing multiple contained parts in each long storage slot. The unloading / loading conversion mechanism transfers the feeding mold with the contained parts to the unloading station, so that one axial end of the feeding mold at the unloading station faces the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism pushes out the contained parts from the feeding mold at the unloading station so that they can be assembled with the containing parts. Since the long storage trough contains multiple enclosed parts, the loading mold filled with enclosed parts can provide enclosed parts for multiple enclosed parts, thus improving assembly efficiency.

[0031] During production, the containing components are manually or mechanically transported to the loading mold for alignment, ensuring that the containing component slots on the containing components correspond one-to-one with the storage slots. A lifting mechanism then pushes the containing components from the loading mold at the unloading station into the containing component slots, allowing multiple containing components to be installed into their respective slots at once. Finally, the assembled containing components are removed manually or mechanically, completing the assembly of multiple containing components with the containing components. Next, the containing components without assembled containing components are again manually or mechanically transported to the loading mold for alignment, and the lifting mechanism repeats the ejection process, achieving automated assembly of containing components with the containing components. This process is highly efficient, saving time and labor. Attached Figure Description

[0045] In this document, the term "embodiment" means that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment of this application. The appearance of this phrase in various places throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a separate or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0046] Reference Figures 3-10 This utility model provides an automated assembly discharge device for arranging and outputting strip-shaped magnets according to the position of the magnet slots on the rotor core, so as to quickly install multiple magnets into the rotor core, solving the problem of time-consuming and labor-intensive work caused by the need to install magnets one by one into each magnet slot of the rotor core in the prior art.

[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the automated assembly material unloading equipment includes a machine base, a feeding mechanism, a feeding mold, a mold rotation mechanism, a loading / unloading conversion mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a controller that controls the cooperation between the feeding mechanism, the mold rotation mechanism, the loading / unloading conversion mechanism, and the lifting mechanism.

[0048] The feeding mold is equipped with multiple long storage slots that run through the material along the axial direction. These long storage slots are arranged radially around a virtual center or in a ring around a virtual center, so that the long storage slots can... Figure 1 or Figure 2 The slots on the rotor core correspond one-to-one.

[0049] The feeding mechanism includes a discharge port for sequentially arranging magnets and outputting them from the discharge port into a long storage slot. A mold rotation mechanism drives the feeding mold located at the feeding station to rotate around its axis, so that the long storage slots are sequentially aligned with the discharge port. A loading / unloading switching mechanism switches the feeding mold with magnets installed from the feeding station to the unloading station, so that one axial end of the feeding mold at the unloading station faces the lifting mechanism; the loading / unloading switching mechanism also switches the unloaded feeding mold from the unloading station to the feeding station, so that one axial end of the feeding mold at the feeding station faces the discharge port. The lifting mechanism has ejector pins corresponding one-to-one with the long storage slots on the feeding mold at the unloading station, and a drive assembly for pushing the ejector pins forward or away from the corresponding long storage slots, for ejecting the magnets from the long storage slots.

[0050] This equipment drives the feeding mold to rotate around its axis via a mold rotation mechanism, so that the long storage troughs are sequentially aligned with the discharge port of the feeding mechanism. When the long storage troughs are aligned with the discharge port, the feeding mechanism outputs magnets from the discharge port to the long storage troughs, thus storing multiple magnets in each long storage trough. The loading / unloading conversion mechanism switches the feeding mold with the magnets installed to the unloading station, so that the feeding mold at the unloading station faces the lifting mechanism. The loading / unloading conversion mechanism switches the feeding mold at the unloading station to the feeding station, so that the feeding mold at the feeding station faces the discharge port. The lifting mechanism pushes the magnets in the feeding mold at the unloading station outward, so that they can be assembled with the rotor core.

[0051] Each storage slot is designed to store multiple magnets along its length. Because the storage slots contain multiple magnets, the loading mold filled with magnets can provide magnets for multiple rotor cores, improving assembly efficiency. During production, the rotor cores are manually or mechanically transported to the end of the loading mold for alignment, ensuring that the magnet slots on the rotor core correspond one-to-one with the storage slots. A lifting mechanism then pushes the magnets outward from the loading mold at the unloading station, allowing multiple magnets to be installed into the corresponding magnet slots on the rotor core at once. Finally, the rotor cores with assembled magnets are removed manually or mechanically. This completes the automated assembly of multiple magnets and rotor cores, achieving high assembly efficiency and saving time and labor. Next, the rotor cores without assembled magnets are again manually or mechanically transported to the end of the loading mold for alignment, and the lifting mechanism repeats the ejection action, again achieving automated assembly of multiple magnets and rotor cores. Once the magnets inside the loading mold are removed, the loading / unloading conversion mechanism will transfer the loading mold from the unloading station to the loading station for loading again.

[0052] like Figure 4 As shown, the feeding mold 2 has multiple long storage slots 21 arranged axially. These slots 21 are radially and evenly distributed around a virtual center. The included angle formed by the virtual lines extending from each adjacent slot 21 to the virtual center is the same. Each slot 21 corresponds one-to-one with a magnet slot on the rotor core. The slots 21 are arranged in pairs with central symmetry; rotating the feeding mold 2 allows any two centrally symmetric slots 21 to be aligned on the same horizontal line. Figure 4 As shown, there are 10 long storage troughs 21, and the interval between each pair of adjacent long storage troughs 21 is 36°. Therefore, every time the feeding mold 2 rotates 36°, a set of two centrally symmetrical long storage troughs 21 can be placed on the same horizontal line.

[0053] like Figure 3 , 5As shown in Figure 6, the feeding mechanism includes a vibratory feeder, a belt conveyor 1, a feeding frame, a feeding extension 17, and a discharge control device. The belt conveyor 1 includes a conveyor belt 11, a drive wheel, a tension wheel, and a drive motor 16. The conveyor belt 11 is mounted on the drive wheel and the tension wheel. The drive motor 16 drives the drive wheel to rotate, and the drive wheel drives the conveyor belt 11 to rotate. The feeding frame is suspended above the conveyor belt 11 along the conveying direction of the belt conveyor 1. The feeding frame has feeding troughs 12 with openings at both ends facing the conveying direction. The openings at both ends of the feeding trough 12 are the inlet and outlet, respectively. The outlet of the vibratory feeder's discharge track is positioned opposite the inlet opening. The feeding trough 12 has a lower opening facing the conveyor belt 11 along the conveying direction. The feeding rack includes width-limiting plates 13 spaced apart, an intermediate baffle 14 located between the two width-limiting plates 13, and a baffle cover plate 15 supported on the intermediate baffle 14. The width-limiting plates 13, the intermediate baffle 14, and the baffle cover plate 15 are parallel. The intermediate baffle 14 is spaced between the two width-limiting plates 13, forming two feeding troughs 12. The width of the feeding troughs 12 matches the magnets. The magnets output from the discharge track outlet of the vibratory feeder are transmitted to the conveyor belt 11 and input into the feeding troughs 12 through the feed opening. The magnets 10 in the feeding troughs 12 are conveyed to the discharge opening by the conveyor belt 11. The baffle cover plate 15 is in an inverted U-shape covering the intermediate baffle 14. The two side walls of the baffle cover plate 15 face downwards towards the magnets 10 in the feeding troughs 12. The two side walls of the baffle cover plate 15 block the magnets 10 in the feeding troughs 12 from above, with a small distance between them, to limit the magnets from tilting and ensure that the magnets move forward smoothly.

[0054] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the material conveyor also includes an L-shaped connecting frame 131 for connecting and fixing the width limiting plate 13 and a U-shaped connecting frame 151 for connecting and fixing the intermediate stop bar 14 and the stop bar cover plate 15. The L-shaped connecting frame 131 has a connecting part one that connects to the upper arm bar of the width limiting plate 13. The connecting part one and the upper arm bar of the width limiting plate 13 are provided with corresponding connecting holes. The connecting part one and the upper arm bar of the width limiting plate 13 are connected and fixed by screws. The U-shaped connecting frame 151 has a connecting part two that connects to the intermediate stop bar 14 and the stop bar cover plate 15. The connecting part two and the intermediate stop bar 14 and the stop bar cover plate 15 are provided with corresponding connecting holes. The connecting part two and the intermediate stop bar 14 and the stop bar cover plate 15 are connected and fixed by screws. Both the L-shaped connecting frame 131 and the U-shaped connecting frame 151 have mounting portions extending to both sides of the belt conveyor 1 perpendicular to the conveying direction. The L-shaped connecting frame 131 and the U-shaped connecting frame 151 are respectively connected and fixed to the outer wall of the belt conveyor 1 through their mounting portions, thereby completing the installation of the width limiting plate 13, the intermediate stop bar 14, and the stop bar cover plate 15. The width limiting plate 13, the intermediate stop bar 14, and the stop bar cover plate 15 do not contact the conveyor belt and will not obstruct the operation of the conveyor belt.

[0055] like Figure 7 ,8 As shown, the material conveying extension section 17 includes two discharge extension grooves 171 with openings at both ends, corresponding one-to-one with the two material conveying grooves 12. The material discharge control device includes a magnetic base 18 with two discharge ports 181 and a material discharge cylinder 19. One end of the discharge extension groove 171 is connected to the discharge port, and the other end is connected to the discharge port 181. The two discharge ports 181 are located on the same horizontal line and can be aligned one-to-one with the two material storage troughs 21 that are on the same horizontal line. A cylinder base plate 192 is mounted on the upper part of the magnetic base 18, and the two material discharge cylinders 19 are vertically mounted on the cylinder base plate 192. The movable part 191 of the material discharge cylinder 19 faces downward and is located directly above the two discharge ports 181. The magnetic base 18 is provided with two switching channels 182 that are vertically connected to the two discharge ports 181 respectively. The discharge cylinder 19 drives the movable part 191 to extend into or out of the corresponding switching channel 182 to control the opening and closing of the discharge port. When the movable part 191 of the discharge cylinder 19 extends from the switching channel 182 into the discharge port 181, the movable part 191 blocks the magnet from being output from the discharge port 181, thereby closing the discharge port; when the movable part 191 of the discharge cylinder 19 disengages from the discharge port 181, the discharge port 181 opens, and the magnet can be output from the discharge port 181.

[0056] If magnets are transported vertically, they are prone to falling due to gravity, leading to collision damage. Figure 3 As shown, the storage trough 21 is horizontally arranged, and the discharge port 181 of the feeding mechanism is horizontally opposite to the feeding mold 2, so as to realize the horizontal conveying of the magnet.

[0057] like Figure 9 , 10As shown, there are two sets of mold rotation mechanisms. Each set includes a rotatable rotating platform 31 and a drive motor 3 that drives the rotating platform 31 to rotate. Two feeding molds 2 are provided, respectively mounted and fixed on the two rotating platforms 31, and rotate with the rotating platforms 31. The drive motor 3 is transmitted to the rotating platform 31 via a synchronous belt 32. The drive motor 3 drives the rotating platform 31 to perform intermittent motion according to a set pause time and a set rotation angle. For example, if the interval angle between the storage troughs 21 is 36°, then the rotation angle of the rotating platform 31 is set to 36°. Every time the rotating platform rotates 36°, the feeding mold 2 rotates 36° accordingly, so that a set of two centrally symmetrical storage troughs 21 are aligned on the same horizontal line with the two discharge ports 181, so that both storage troughs 21 can be filled simultaneously, improving feeding efficiency. The pause time is the time it takes for the feeding mechanism to deliver magnets to the corresponding storage trough and for the magnets to fill the storage trough 21. After the magnets fill the storage trough 21 aligned with the discharge port 181, the drive motor 3 drives the rotary table 31 to rotate again until the next set of storage troughs 21 are aligned with the discharge port 181. Then the rotary table 31 stops rotating, so that the feeding mechanism has enough time to feed magnets into the storage trough 21. After the storage trough 21 is filled with magnets, the rotary table 31 repeats the rotation action. This cycle continues until all the storage troughs 21 in the feeding mold 2 at the feeding station are filled.

[0058] The mold rotation mechanism also includes an origin positioning sensor and a sensor base 34. The origin positioning sensor includes a sensor body mounted on the sensor base 34 and a sensor plate 33 mounted on the rotary table 31.

[0059] The loading / unloading conversion mechanism includes a swing arm 41 and a rotary motor 42 that drives the swing arm 41 to rotate. The mechanism also includes a support frame 4, with the rotary motor 42 fixed to the back of the support frame 4, and the swing arm 41 rotatably mounted on the front of the support frame 4. Two sets of mold rotation mechanisms are mounted on the swing arm 41, a rotary table 31 is rotatably mounted on the swing arm 41, and a drive motor 3 and a sensor base 34 are fixedly mounted on the swing arm 41. The loading mold 2 is mounted on the mold rotation mechanism, forming a loading assembly; the two loading molds 2 are centrally symmetrical about the rotation center point of the swing arm 41, and the rotary motor 42 drives the swing arm 41 to rotate 180° each time. The loading assembly follows the rotation of the swing arm 41, allowing the position of the loading mold 2 to switch between the loading station and the unloading station.

[0060] The lifting mechanism's drive assembly includes a lead screw 52, ​​a transmission nut 53 that cooperates with the lead screw 52 to perform linear motion, a power source (such as a motor) that drives the lead screw 52 to rotate, a transmission plate 51 that follows the transmission nut 53 in linear motion, and multiple auxiliary rods 54 arranged parallel to the lead screw 52. The transmission plate 51 is slidably connected to the auxiliary rods 54 via linear bearings 55, ensuring smooth operation of the transmission plate 51. One end of the ejector pin 5 is connected and fixed to the transmission plate 52, and the ejector pin 5 follows the transmission plate 52 in linear motion.

[0061] The spacer between the ejector pin 5 and the long storage trough 21 is provided with a guide hole to allow the ejector pin to smoothly penetrate the long storage trough. For example... Figure 10 As shown, the spacer between the ejector pin 5 and the long storage trough 21 includes a rotary table 41 and a mechanism support 4. Therefore, the guide hole is set on the rotary table 41 and the mechanism support 4. The power source drives the transmission screw 52 to rotate, thereby causing the transmission nut 53 to move linearly on the transmission screw 52. The transmission plate 51 and the ejector pin 5 follow the transmission nut 53 to move linearly. Under the drive of the lifting mechanism, when the ejector pin 5 extends into the long storage trough 21 through the guide hole, the magnet in the long storage trough 21 is pushed out.
