Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of mechanical equipment lubrication technology, and in particular to an oiling device. Background Technology

[0002] Electric motors, as self-propelled mechanisms driven by an internal motor and gear sets to achieve specific actions, are widely used in modern industry, such as cable-driven systems in automobiles. Their application has greatly improved the automation level and operating efficiency of equipment, enabling various machines to complete specific actions more accurately and stably, thus driving the rapid development of related industries.

[0003] After the transmission mechanism within the electric mechanism is assembled, adding lubricating oil to the meshing parts at precise points is a crucial step. Previously, this was typically done manually, with workers holding an oil gun and relying on experience and visual judgment to add lubricating oil to the meshing parts. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to problems such as inaccurate oiling locations and uneven oil application. Alternatively, semi-automatic oiling equipment is sometimes used. While this improves efficiency to some extent, it's difficult to guarantee the quality of oiling on the meshing components.

[0004] The aforementioned technologies suffer from the drawback of low-quality lubrication on the transmission meshing components. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to improve the quality of lubrication of transmission meshing components, this application provides an oiling device.

[0006] The oiling device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An oiling device, comprising: A slide table is used to house transmission and meshing components; A displacement device is disposed above the slide table, and the displacement device is used to control the movement of the oil gun; An oiling gun is connected to the displacement device and is used to apply oil to the transmission meshing components. A visual inspection device is connected to the displacement device. The visual inspection device is used to detect the position information of the transmission meshing component before oiling and to detect the oiling status information of the transmission meshing component after oiling. It also feeds back the position information and oiling status to the displacement device to control the movement trajectory of the oiling gun.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, a visual inspection device is used to detect the position of the transmission meshing components before the oiling process, ensuring that the displacement device can accurately apply oil to the transmission meshing components. The visual inspection device can also inspect the transmission meshing components after oiling, promptly identifying any unqualified oiling and controlling the oiling gun to apply oil to the unqualified areas, thus ensuring that the oiling quality of all transmission meshing components leaving the factory meets the standards.

[0008] Optionally, the oiling device further includes a support frame; the displacement device includes a first displacement device, which includes a first connecting plate, a first slide rail, a first slider, and a first cylinder. The first connecting plate is disposed on the support frame, and the first slide rail and the first cylinder are both disposed on the first connecting plate. The first slider is slidably disposed on the first slide rail, and the telescopic end of the first cylinder is connected to the first slider. The first cylinder is used to drive the first slider to move along the first slide rail.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the entire displacement device is fixed on the support frame through the first connecting plate, providing a stable structural foundation for the subsequent superposition of other motion axes and ensuring the rigidity and precision of the entire motion system.

[0010] Optionally, the displacement device further includes a second displacement device, which includes a second connecting plate and a second cylinder; the first slider is provided with a slide groove, the second connecting plate is slidably disposed in the slide groove, the second cylinder is disposed on the second connecting plate, the telescopic end of the second cylinder is connected to the first slider, and the second cylinder is used to drive the second connecting plate to move along the slide groove.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, the second displacement device works orthogonally with the first displacement device, enabling the oiling gun to move freely in two dimensions within the horizontal plane. This allows the oiling gun to reach any point on the surface of the transmission meshing component, rather than just a straight line, greatly expanding the applicability of the oiling device and enabling it to oil transmission meshing components with complex planar oiling trajectories.

[0012] Optionally, the displacement device further includes a third displacement device, which includes a second slide rail, a second slider, and a third cylinder. The second slide rail and the third cylinder are both mounted on the second connecting plate. The second slider is slidably mounted on the second slide rail. The telescopic end of the third cylinder is connected to the second slider. The third cylinder is used to drive the second slider to move along the second slide rail. The oil gun is mounted on the second slider.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the third displacement device enables the oiling gun to move not only on a plane but also to perform lifting and lowering movements. This three-dimensional motion capability means that the oiling device can handle complex three-dimensional parts with varying heights, recesses, or those requiring oiling from specific angles.

[0014] Optionally, the visual inspection device includes a detection camera and a control module. Both the detection camera and the control module are mounted on the second connecting plate. The control module is connected to the displacement device. The detection camera is used to detect the position information of the transmission meshing component before oiling and to detect the oiling status information of the transmission meshing component after oiling. The control module is used to feed back the position information and oiling status to the displacement device to control the movement trajectory of the oiling gun.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection camera is mounted on the second connecting plate, allowing it to move together with the oiling gun on a horizontal plane. After the control module controls the detection camera to find the coordinates of the target point, it can directly command the oiling gun to move to that coordinate for operation without complex coordinate transformations. This layout enables efficient integration of positioning and oiling actions. After the detection camera completes the positioning scan of the transmission meshing components, the oiling gun can begin working, eliminating the need for two separate positioning systems for the detection camera and the oiling gun, simplifying the control logic and saving costs and time.

[0016] Optionally, the oiling device further includes a conveyor belt, and the slide table is slidably mounted on the conveyor belt.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor belt oiling device can be easily connected to the automated production line, realizing the automated flow from upstream process to this process and then to downstream process, thereby improving the automation level and production efficiency of the entire production line.

[0018] Optionally, the conveyor belt is provided with multiple rollers, and the slide is mounted on the rollers, with the rollers used to drive the slide to move.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution and replacing sliding friction with rolling friction (rollers), the resistance during slide movement can be greatly reduced, resulting in smoother and more energy-efficient transmission, as well as reduced wear on the conveyor belt surface. For heavier transmission meshing components, the roller array can provide a more stable and flatter support surface than a flexible belt, preventing the slide from sinking or tilting due to gravity, and helping to maintain the horizontal posture of the transmission meshing components.

[0020] Optionally, the slide is provided with a transmission engagement component positioning block, and the transmission engagement component positioning block is provided with a groove for placing the transmission engagement component.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, and through grooves that match the shape of the transmission meshing components, the position and orientation of the transmission meshing components on the slide are ensured to be unique and repeatable. This provides a precise initial position reference for subsequent automated oiling, preventing the transmission meshing components from shifting or rotating arbitrarily on the slide. By replacing the positioning blocks of different shapes for the transmission meshing components, the same production line can quickly adapt to the production of different models of transmission meshing components, demonstrating excellent flexibility.

[0022] Optionally, the conveyor belt is provided with a positioning pin and a position sensor, and the positioning block of the transmission engagement component is provided with a positioning groove and a positioning hole. The position sensor is electrically connected to the positioning pin. The position sensor is used to detect the positioning groove, and the positioning pin is used to engage with the positioning hole. When the position sensor detects the positioning groove, the positioning pin engages with the positioning hole to fix the positioning block of the transmission engagement component.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the position sensor detects the engagement of the positioning groove and positioning pin with the positioning hole, thus solving the problems of vibration, slippage, or inaccurate stopping position that may exist in the conveyor belt itself. It upgrades coarse positioning (conveyor belt stopping) to fine positioning (mechanical locking), ensuring that the slide table is absolutely stationary relative to the coordinate system of the displacement device throughout the entire oiling process. This is the key guarantee for achieving high-precision oiling.

[0024] Optionally, the conveyor belt is provided with a connecting piece and a sensor bracket, the positioning pin is disposed on the connecting piece, and the position sensor is disposed on the sensor bracket.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the connecting piece and sensor bracket provide specialized and stable mounting components for the key positioning pins and sensors, ensuring that they will not loosen or shift during long-term operation, thus ensuring the long-term effectiveness of the positioning system.

[0026] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By using a visual inspection device to check the position of the transmission meshing components before the oiling process, it is ensured that the displacement device can accurately apply oil to the transmission meshing components. The visual inspection device can also inspect the transmission meshing components after oiling, promptly identify transmission meshing components with unqualified oiling, and control the oiling gun to apply oil to the unqualified areas, so as to ensure that the oiling quality of the transmission meshing components leaving the factory meets the standards; 2. The second displacement device works orthogonally with the first displacement device, enabling the oiling gun to move freely in two dimensions within the horizontal plane. This allows the oiling gun to reach any point on the surface of the transmission meshing component, rather than just a straight line, greatly expanding the applicability of the oiling device and enabling it to oil transmission meshing components with complex planar oiling trajectories. 3. The third displacement device allows the oiling gun to move not only on a plane but also vertically. This three-dimensional motion capability means that the oiling device can handle complex three-dimensional parts with varying heights, recesses, or those requiring oiling from specific angles; 4. The detection camera is mounted on the second connecting plate, allowing it to move together with the oiling gun on a horizontal plane. After the control module controls the detection camera to locate the coordinates of the target point, it can directly command the oiling gun to move to that coordinate for operation without complex coordinate transformations. This layout enables efficient coordination between positioning and oiling actions. After the detection camera completes the positioning scan of the transmission meshing components, the oiling gun can begin operation. There is no need to set up two separate positioning systems for the detection camera and the oiling gun, simplifying the control logic and saving costs and time. Attached Figure Description

Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 The oiling device includes a conveyor belt 10, a slide table 20, a support frame 30, a displacement device 40, an oiling gun 50, and a vision inspection device 60.

When the conveyor belt 10 drives the transmission engagement component positioning block 21 to move, when the position sensor 15 detects the positioning groove 22, the positioning pin 13 engages with the positioning hole 23 to fix the transmission engagement component positioning block 21. The connecting piece 12 is usually a sheet structure made of metal material and is fixed to the conveyor belt 10 by welding or bolting. The position sensor 15 can be a photoelectric sensor. When it detects the positioning groove 22, it can send a signal to control the positioning pin 13 to engage with the positioning hole 23.

[0033] The displacement device 40 includes a first displacement device 41, a second displacement device 42 and a third displacement device 43. The first displacement device 41 is connected to the support frame 30.

The oil gun 50 is disposed on the third displacement device 43 and the visual inspection device 60 is disposed on the second displacement device 42.

[0034] The first displacement device 41 includes a first connecting plate 41a, a first slide rail 41b, a first slider 41c, and a first cylinder 41e. The first connecting plate 41a is disposed on the support frame 30. The first slide rail 41b and the first cylinder 41e are both disposed on the first connecting plate 41a.

[0035] The second displacement device 42 includes a second connecting plate 42a and a second cylinder 42b. The first slider 41c is provided with a sliding groove 41d. The second connecting plate 42a is slidably disposed in the sliding groove 41d. The second cylinder 42b is disposed on the second connecting plate 42a. The telescopic end of the second cylinder 42b is connected to the first slider 41c. The second cylinder 42b is used to push the second connecting plate 42a to slide along the sliding groove 41d.

[0036] The third displacement device 43 includes a second slide rail 43a, a second slider 43b, and a third cylinder 43c. The second slide rail 43a and the third cylinder 43c are both mounted on the second connecting plate 42a. The second slider 43b is slidably mounted on the second slide rail 43a. The telescopic end of the third cylinder 43c is connected to the second slider 43b. The oil gun 50 is mounted on the second slider 43b. The third cylinder 43c is used to push the second slider 43b to move along the second slide rail 43a, thereby driving the oil gun 50 to move.

[0037] The visual inspection device 60 includes a detection camera 61 and a control module 62, both of which are mounted on the second connecting plate 42a. The control module 62 is connected to the detection camera 61. The detection camera 61 is used to detect the position information of the transmission engagement component before oiling and to detect the oiling status of the transmission engagement component after oiling. The control module 62 is used to feed back the position information and oiling status to the displacement device 40 to control the movement trajectory of the oiling gun 50. The detection camera 61 can be an industrial camera, which captures images of the transmission engagement component and uses image recognition technology to detect the position and oiling status of the transmission engagement component.

[0038] Before oiling, the detection camera 61 detects the position of the transmission meshing component. The control module 62, based on the position information of the transmission meshing component, controls the displacement device 40 to move the oiling gun 50 to apply oil to the transmission meshing component. After oiling, the detection camera 61 also detects the oiling status on the transmission meshing component. If uneven oiling or lack of oiling is observed on a certain part of the transmission meshing component, the control module 62 controls the displacement device 40 to move the oiling gun 50 to that position to apply oil, ensuring the quality of the oiling process. The image recognition control software used by the control module 62 to control the movement of the displacement device 40 based on the image information of the transmission meshing component captured by the detection camera 61 is a mature visual guidance technology in the field of machining, and will not be described further in this embodiment.
