[0023] Reference Figures 1 to 4This application provides an automatic tapping device for a motor end cap 600, comprising: a base 100, a turntable 110 rotatably mounted thereon, and multiple workstations 120 arranged around the circumference of the turntable 110; a feeding mechanism 200, including a conveying track 210 and a dropping component 220, the conveying track 210 being disposed above the turntable 110 and used for conveying the motor end cap 600, the end of the conveying track 210 being provided with a dropping port 230 corresponding to the workstations 120, the dropping component 220 including a baffle 240 disposed at the dropping port 230 and used to open or close the dropping port 230; and a positioning mechanism 300, including a lifting... The system comprises a lifting assembly 310, a rotating head 320, and a detector 330. The lifting assembly 310 is located on one side of the material discharge port 230. The rotating head 320 is rotatably mounted on the lifting assembly 310 and is used to fix the motor end cover 600 and drive the motor end cover 600 to rotate. The detector 330 is located above the motor end cover 600 and is used to detect the position of the motor end cover 600. A threading mechanism 400 is located downstream of the positioning mechanism 300 and is used to tap threads on the motor end cover 600. A feeding mechanism 500 is located downstream of the threading mechanism 400 and is used to feed the motor end cover 600.

[0024] During operation, the motor end cover 600 is conveyed to the discharge port 230 via the conveyor rail 210. At this time, the baffle 240 closes the discharge port 230 to support the motor end cover 600. Then, the lifting assembly 310 drives the rotating head 320 to descend, so that the rotating head 320 fixes the motor end cover 600 and drives the motor end cover 600 to rotate. At the same time, the detector 330 detects the position of the motor end cover 600 to accurately position it. Then, the baffle 240 opens the discharge port 230, so that the motor end cover 600 falls from the discharge port 230 onto the corresponding station 120 of the turntable 110. Next, the turntable 110 rotates to convey the motor end cover 600 to the tapping mechanism 400, which taps the threads on the motor end cover 600. Finally, the turntable 110 rotates to convey the motor end cover 600 to the unloading mechanism 500, which unloads the motor end cover 600. The automatic tapping device for the motor end cover 600 described in this application embodiment can automatically and accurately position the motor end cover 600 without manual operation, reducing labor intensity, improving automation, and increasing work efficiency.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4Specifically, a mounting plate 130 is provided above the turntable 110. The mounting plate 130 is fixedly connected to the machine base 100 via a connecting column. A conveying track 210 is provided on the mounting plate 130, and a discharge port 230 passes through the mounting plate 130. Further, the conveying track 210 includes a first track 250 and a second track 260. One end of the second track 260 is connected to the end of the first track 250 and is arranged perpendicularly. The discharge port 230 is provided at the other end of the second track 260. A push plate 270 is slidably provided on the side of the first track 250 away from the second track 260. The push plate 270 slides to push the motor end cover 600 from the first track 250 into the second track 260. The first track 250 is connected to a vibrating feeding plate. The motor end cover 600 is automatically fed by the vibrating feeding plate and conveyed along the first track 250. When the motor end cover 600 is conveyed to the end of the first track 250, the push plate 270 slides to push the motor end cover 600 from the first track 250 into the second track 260. At this time, the motor end cover 600 is exactly on the baffle 240 and the positioning of the motor end cover 600 is completed under the action of the baffle 240.

[0026] It should be noted that the first track 250 can also be set as a conveyor belt, and the front end of the conveyor belt is equipped with a loading robot. The loading robot puts the motor end cover 600 onto the conveyor belt, and under the action of the conveyor belt, the motor end cover 600 is transported to the discharge port 230 to wait for the next step of the work.

[0027] It is conceivable that the baffles 240 are slidably disposed on both sides of the discharge port 230, and the baffles 240 slide to open or close the discharge port 230. Furthermore, the discharge assembly 220 also includes a first driving member 280, which is configured as a cylinder, with its extension and retraction end connected to the baffles 240. When the cylinder drives the baffles 240 to slide closer together, the baffles 240 close the discharge port 230 to support the motor end cover 600 for positioning; when the cylinder drives the baffles 240 to slide further apart, the baffles 240 open the discharge port 230, allowing the motor end cover 600 to fall from the discharge port 230 onto the station 120 of the turntable 110.

[0028] It should be noted that the baffle 240 can also be rotated to open and close the discharge port 230, and this application does not limit this.

[0029] Reference Figure 4In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 310 includes a base, a screw, and a nut seat. The base is mounted on the mounting plate 130, the screw is rotatably mounted on the base 100, the nut seat is connected to the screw, and the rotating head 320 is mounted on the nut seat. The screw rotates to drive the nut seat to move, thereby lifting and lowering the rotating head 320, which can fix or loosen the motor end cover 600. Further, the lifting assembly 310 is provided with a fixing plate 340, and the rotating head 320 is rotatably mounted on the fixing plate 340. The fixing plate 340 is provided with a second driving member 350, which is a motor connected to the rotating head 320. The lifting assembly 310 drives the rotating head 320 to descend, fixing the motor end cover 600. Then, the motor drives the rotating head 320 to rotate, thereby achieving the rotation of the motor end cover 600 and completing the automatic positioning of the motor end cover 600. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient.

[0030] The rotating head 320 is equipped with a magnet 360, which is used to attract the motor end cover 600. The motor end cover 600 is generally made of metal. In this case, the magnet 360 attracts the motor end cover 600, thus fixing the rotating head 320 to the motor end cover 600. The structure is simple and the operation is convenient. Of course, the rotating head 320 can also be equipped with grippers or other structures; this application does not impose any restrictions on this.

[0031] It is easy to understand that station 120 is equipped with a positioning post 140, and the motor end cover 600 is equipped with a through hole. The positioning post 140 is connected to the through hole, and the detector 330 corresponds to the positioning post 140. Specifically, the conveyor rail 210 conveys the motor end cover 600 to the discharge port 230, and the baffle 240 supports the motor end cover 600. Then, the rotating head 320 fixes and drives the motor end cover 600 to rotate. When the motor end cover 600 rotates to the point where the through hole corresponds to the positioning post 140, the detector 330 can sense the positioning post 140 through it. At this time, the rotating head 320 stops rotating and releases the motor end cover 600. Then, the baffle 240 opens the discharge port 230, and the motor end cover 600 falls from the discharge port 230 onto station 120 of the turntable 110, and the positioning post 140 passes through the through hole, thereby completing the automatic positioning of the motor end cover 600.

[0032] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2In some embodiments of this application, the tapping mechanism 400 is equipped with multiple drill bits, which work together to tap the motor end cover 600. By using multiple drill bits to tap the motor end cover 600, multiple tapping positions on the motor end cover 600 can be completed at once, improving work efficiency. Furthermore, multiple tapping mechanisms 400 are provided, arranged along the rotation direction of the turntable 110. By providing multiple tapping mechanisms 400, multiple motor end covers 600 can be worked on simultaneously, further improving work efficiency.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The unloading mechanism 500 includes an unloading robot 510 and an unloading assembly 520. The unloading robot 510 is mounted on the base 100, and the unloading assembly 520 is located to the side of the turntable 110. The unloading robot 510 is used to pick up the motor end cover 600 from the turntable 110 and convey it to the unloading assembly 520. The unloading assembly 520 is configured as an unloading conveyor belt. By using the unloading robot 510 to pick up the motor end cover 600 from the turntable 110 and convey it to the unloading conveyor belt, the unloading of the motor end cover 600 is achieved, improving the level of automation and increasing work efficiency.

[0034] The embodiments of this application have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this application is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this application.
