Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of motor production and testing technology, and in particular relates to an automated testing device for the internal magnets of a motor rotor based on mechanical tension. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of permanent magnet synchronous motors, multiple sets of permanent magnets need to be embedded in the rotor cavity to optimize the magnetic field distribution. Traditional inspection relies on manual visual inspection or manual tension testing, which is inefficient and prone to missed detections. Existing automated equipment mostly uses X-ray or Hall sensor inspection, but it has the following drawbacks: X-ray inspection: expensive and requires radiation protection, unsuitable for small and medium-sized production lines; Hall sensor inspection: susceptible to electromagnetic interference from motor windings, resulting in a high false alarm rate; existing equipment is difficult to adapt to rotors of different sizes and pole numbers. Therefore, we designed an automated inspection device for the internal magnets of motor rotors based on mechanical tension. By combining indexing rotation with an electromagnetic probe, we achieve low-cost, high-precision, and highly interference-resistant magnet assembly inspection. Utility Model Content

The magnet detection component includes a horizontal drive module mounted on the top of the base plate.

[0019] In the following description, embodiments of the automated detection device for the internal magnets of a motor rotor based on mechanical tension will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0020] Figures 1-5 This invention illustrates an embodiment of an automated detection device for the internal magnets of a motor rotor based on mechanical tension. It comprises a PLC control system 2, a magnet detection component 3, and a rotor rotation fixing component 4, all mounted on a base plate 1. The magnet detection component 3 includes a horizontal drive module 31 mounted on the top of the base plate 1. A micrometer adjustment platform 32 is fixedly mounted on the moving end of the horizontal drive module 31. Three equally spaced electromagnetic detection probes 33 are mounted on the micrometer adjustment platform 32. A tension sensor 34 is provided on one side of each electromagnetic detection probe 33. The electromagnetic detection probe 33 has a coil with 550 turns and an operating current of 0.5A. The rotor rotation fixing component 4 includes components fixedly mounted on the base plate 1. A stabilizing bracket 41 is mounted on the base plate 1. A servo motor 42 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the base plate 1. An indexing plate 43 is installed above the base plate 1. The indexing plate 43 is connected to an absolute encoder with an angle resolution of ≤0.01° and a repeatability of ±0.1°. The output shaft of the servo motor 42 is mounted on the indexing plate 43. A base 44 is installed on the top of the indexing plate 43. Two symmetrical positioning pins 46 are provided on the top of the base 44. The positioning pins 46 are aligned with the process holes on the rotor end face to achieve circumferential zero position. A pneumatic clamping cylinder 45 is installed on the top of the indexing plate 43 platform. An alarm is installed on the PLC control system 2. A V-groove is opened on the top of the base 44, and a polyurethane anti-slip pad is embedded in the V-groove.
[0021] Working principle: The servo motor 42 has a rated torque of 5 N·m and is equipped with a 17-bit absolute encoder with an angle repeatability of ±0.1°. The indexing plate 43 has an indexing angle θ=360° / N (N is the number of magnets designed), supporting rotors with N=4-24 poles. The base 44 adopts a V-groove design with embedded polyurethane anti-slip pads, adapting to rotors with a diameter of 50-200mm. The pneumatic clamping cylinder 45 has an output force ≥200N and a clamping stability of ±0.05mm. The positioning pin 46 has a diameter tolerance of H7 grade and is inserted into the process hole on the rotor end face to achieve circumferential zero-position alignment. The electromagnetic detection probe 33 has 500 coil turns, an operating current of 0.5A, and an adjustable magnetic field strength (0.1-1.0T). The tension sensor 34 has a range of 0-50N, an accuracy of ±0.5%FS, and a sampling frequency of 100Hz. The horizontal drive module 31 has a repeatability of ±0.02mm and an adjustable moving speed of 10-100mm / s. The horizontal drive module 31 is a cylinder structure.
[0022] During use, the rotor is placed into the V-groove on the base 44, and then clamped by the pneumatic clamping cylinder 45. The positioning pin 46 on the base 44 is inserted into the end hole of the rotor. The horizontal drive module 31 drives the micrometer adjustment table 32, the electromagnetic detection probe 33 and the tension sensor 34, so that the electromagnetic detection probe 33 is inside the rotor. At this time, the electromagnetic coil is energized, and the servo motor 42 drives the indexing plate 43 to rotate, rotating 0 degrees, 45 degrees, 90 degrees...315 degrees in sequence, each angle for 2 seconds, and the tension value of the tension sensor 34 is recorded. If the angle tension is <35N (standard value 50N×70%), it is determined that the magnet is missing and an alarm is triggered. The base 44 is replaced and the PLC parameters are adjusted to adapt to different specifications of rotors.
[0023] In summary, this automated magnet detection device for the internal magnets of a motor rotor based on mechanical tension achieves the following: the rotor is installed into the inner cavity of the V-groove on the base 44, then the pneumatic clamping cylinder 45 clamps the outer wall of the rotor, the positioning pin 46 on the base 44 is inserted into the end hole of the rotor, the horizontal drive module 31 extends to move the electromagnetic detection probe 33 to the center of the rotor's inner cavity, the electromagnetic detection probe 33 is powered on, the servo motor 42 rotates sequentially through the indexing plate 43, stops at multiple angles, and records the tension value. If the tension at a certain angle does not meet the requirements, it is determined that a magnet is missing and an alarm is triggered. This achieves the goal of low-cost, high-precision, and highly anti-interference magnet assembly detection by combining indexing rotation with an electromagnetic probe.
