Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of motor processing equipment, and more particularly to a device for electrical testing of micro motors. Background Technology

[0002] As core driving components in modern precision equipment and consumer electronics, the performance and reliability of micro motors directly determine the quality, lifespan, and user experience of the final product. Therefore, comprehensive, efficient, and precise quality testing before micro motors leave the factory is an indispensable and crucial step in the manufacturing process. Currently, industry-standard factory testing of micro motors typically covers multiple dimensions, including electrical, mechanical, and safety performance, primarily involving the measurement of core parameters such as voltage, current, speed, and insulation resistance.

[0003] In electrical performance testing, the conventional method is to apply a rated operating voltage to the motor and monitor its steady-state operating current in real time. In mechanical performance testing, rotational speed is the core indicator of motor performance; current technologies typically use photoelectric encoders, Hall effect sensors, or back EMF detection methods to obtain the motor's rotational speed. In safety performance testing, insulation testing commonly employs a method of applying a DC or AC high voltage much higher than the operating voltage to check whether the leakage current between the windings and the motor casing (grounding electrode) is within a safe range.

[0004] In summary, while existing micro-motor testing technology systems have been established, each test item is often completed by independent equipment in shifts, resulting in low system integration and fragmented testing processes. This not only leads to large equipment footprints and repetitive hardware costs, but also increases contact errors due to multiple tooling clamping operations. Therefore, the industry urgently needs a highly integrated and automated comprehensive testing device for micro-motors. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in the existing electrical testing process for micro motors by providing a device that can efficiently measure various performance characteristics of the motor.

[0006] The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A device for electrical testing of a micro motor is characterized by comprising a conveying device for transporting the motor and a detection device and a rejection device arranged sequentially along the motor conveying direction; the front end of the detection device is provided with a positioning mechanism, which is used to drive the motor to rotate around the central axis of the motor and adjust the motor to a uniform circumferential angle; the detection device is provided with a plurality of detection stations, each detection station being provided with a detection component for testing one or more electrical parameters of the motor; the rejection device is signal-connected to each detection station and rejects motors that fail the test based on the detection results of each detection station.

[0007] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the positioning mechanism includes an elastic pin, a first driving component for raising and lowering the elastic pin, and a second driving component for rotating the motor. A positioning hole is provided on the motor. The first driving component drives the elastic pin to rise so that the top of the elastic pin elastically abuts against the motor. The second driving component drives the motor to rotate until the elastic pin is inserted into the positioning hole and restricts the rotation of the second driving component.

[0008] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the second driving component includes two openable clamping blocks, a first driving component for rotating the clamping blocks, and a second driving component for raising and lowering the clamping blocks. The first driving component is located at the output end of the second driving component, and the clamping blocks are located at the output end of the second driving component. After the second driving component drives the two clamping blocks to descend, they clamp and fix the motor. The first driving component drives the clamping blocks and the motor to rotate.

[0009] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the testing component includes a testing terminal and a driving component three for vertically raising and lowering the testing terminal. The testing terminal includes two vertically spaced conductive probes. The driving component three drives the two conductive probes to descend and form electrical contact with two terminals on the motor.

[0010] In the aforementioned micro-motor electrical testing equipment, the testing component further includes a positioning element for positioning and fixing the motor. This positioning element includes a guide rod, a positioning block, and a spring. The guide rod is vertically slidably mounted on the positioning block, and the spring is sleeved around the outer periphery of the guide rod to push it downwards. A stop block is fixed to the top of the guide rod to prevent it from detaching from the positioning block. The bottom surface of the guide rod is lower than the bottom surface of the conductive probe. A protrusion is provided on the motor, and a positioning recess is formed at the bottom of the guide rod. The positioning block is fixedly connected to the output end of the driving component. After the guide rod descends, it elastically presses against the motor, and the protrusion is inserted into the positioning recess to form a positioning.

[0011] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the testing component further includes a mounting plate, which is fixedly connected to the output end of the drive component three. The conductive probe is fixed on the mounting plate by an adjustment block, which can be translated relative to the mounting plate to adjust the position of the conductive probe so that the positions of the two conductive probes correspond to the positions of the two terminals on the motor.

[0012] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the testing device includes a main board, a second driving component on the positioning mechanism, and driving components on each testing component, all of which are fixed on the main board.

[0013] In the aforementioned micro-motor electrical testing equipment, the conveying device includes a clamping and conveying assembly for clamping the motor and conveying it sequentially through each testing station.

The fifth driving component keeps the clamped plates in the clamped state and conveys the motor forward to the next testing station. The fourth driving component opens the two clamping plates, and the fifth driving component keeps the two clamping plates in the open state and moves them backward to reset.

[0014] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the two clamping plates are elastically disposed at the ends of the driving component four. When the two clamping plates are closed, the clamping jaws elastically abut against the motor and clamp the motor.

[0015] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the conveying device further includes a front conveying component and a rear conveying component. The output end of the front conveying component is connected to the input end of the clamping conveying component for feeding the motor into the testing device. The input end of the rear conveying component is connected to the output end of the clamping conveying component for transferring the qualified motor to the next process.

[0016] In the aforementioned micro-motor electrical testing equipment, the clamping and conveying assembly is further equipped with a waiting station located at the rear end of each testing station. When a defective motor is detected at one of the testing stations, and the motor is moved to the waiting station via the clamping and conveying assembly, a rejection device is used to remove the defective motor from the waiting station. After a qualified motor passes the waiting station, the rejection device stops working, and the qualified motor automatically proceeds to the next process.

[0017] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the rejection device includes two openable grippers, a drive unit six for driving the grippers to rise and fall, and a drive unit seven for driving the grippers to move horizontally. The drive unit six is ​​located at the output end of the drive unit seven, and the grippers are located at the output end of the drive unit six. After the drive unit six drives the two grippers to descend, it clamps the fixed motor that fails the test. The drive unit seven drives the grippers and the motor to move horizontally, removing the unqualified motor from the conveying path of the conveying device.

[0018] In the aforementioned micro motor electrical testing equipment, the rejection device further includes a collection hopper. The number of collection hoppers is consistent with the number of each testing station. The arrangement order of the collection hoppers is consistent with the arrangement order of the testing stations and corresponds one-to-one. After the gripper descends, it clamps the unqualified motor on the station to be transferred and lifts it back to its original position. The drive unit drives the gripper and the motor to move horizontally until they move to the top of the collection hopper corresponding to the testing station where the unqualified motor was detected. The gripper then opens, allowing the unqualified motor to fall into the corresponding collection hopper.

[0019] In the aforementioned micro-motor electrical testing equipment, the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and sixth driving components are cylinders. The first driving component is a servo motor. The seventh driving component is a linear module.

The second driving component includes two openable clamping blocks 4, a first driving component 5 for driving the clamping blocks 4 to rotate, and a second driving component 6 for driving the clamping blocks 4 to rise and fall.

[0025] like Figure 4As shown, the detection assembly includes a detection terminal and a driving component 7 for vertically raising and lowering the detection terminal. The detection terminal includes two vertically spaced conductive probes 8.

The detection assembly also includes a positioning component for positioning and fixing the motor 1. It includes a guide rod 11, a positioning block 12, and a spring 13.

A stop is fixed at the top of the guide rod 11 to prevent the guide rod 11 from dislodging from the positioning block 12.

The driving component four 18 drives the two clamping plates 17 to open, and the driving component five 19 drives the two clamping plates 17 to maintain the open state and translate backward to reset. The two clamping plates 17 are elastically disposed at the ends of the driving component four 18.

[0029] The clamping and conveying assembly is also equipped with a waiting station, which is located at the rear end of each inspection station. When a defective motor 1 is detected at one of the inspection stations, and the motor 1 is moved to the waiting station via the clamping and conveying assembly, the rejection device removes the defective motor 1 from the waiting station. After a qualified motor 1 passes the waiting station, the rejection device stops working, and the qualified motor 1 automatically enters the next process.

[0030] like Figure 6 As shown, the rejection device includes two openable grippers 23, a drive component six 24 for driving the grippers 23 to rise and fall, and a drive component seven 25 for driving the grippers 23 to move horizontally.

The drive component seven 25 drives the grippers 23 and the motor 1 to move horizontally, removing the unqualified motor 1 from the conveying path of the conveying device. The rejection device also includes a collection hopper 26. The number of collection hoppers 26 is the same as the number of each inspection station. The arrangement order of the collection hoppers 26 is the same as the arrangement order of the inspection stations and corresponds one-to-one. After the gripper 23 descends, it clamps the unqualified motor 1 on the station to be transferred and lifts it back to its original position. The drive component 25 drives the gripper 23 and the motor 1 to move horizontally until they move above the collection hopper 26 corresponding to the inspection station where the unqualified motor 1 was detected. The gripper 23 then opens, allowing the unqualified motor 1 to fall into the corresponding collection hopper 26.
