Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production equipment for motors, and specifically to a screw assembly mechanism for a motor. Background Technology
[0002] Micro motors (such as stepper motors and geared motors) are core drive components in automated equipment, household appliances, and precision instruments. In the motor manufacturing process, the assembly stage typically accounts for a large proportion of the total production time. Among the key steps in motor assembly is connecting and securing the motor end cover shaft to the motor body using screws.
[0003] In traditional motor screw assembly processes, individual screws were typically tightened manually using hand-held or pneumatic screwdrivers. This purely manual method has the following significant drawbacks: Poor assembly consistency: Manual operation makes it difficult to accurately control the tightening torque of screws, which can easily lead to problems such as stripped screws, loose screws (causing motor vibration and abnormal noise) or over-tightening (causing cracking of end cap plastic parts or damage to threads), seriously affecting product quality.
[0004] Low production efficiency: The manual process of manually aligning holes, removing screws, and tightening screws is tedious, and efficiency drops significantly as workers become fatigued, making it impossible to meet the needs of modern large-scale production. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This utility model primarily addresses the shortcomings of existing technologies by providing a screw assembly mechanism for motors, characterized by convenient operation, good operational stability, and strong versatility. It solves the problems of low efficiency and unstable quality in manual assembly, as well as the lack of effective clamping and positioning, and difficulties in type-change adjustment in existing automated assembly equipment.
[0006] The above-mentioned technical problems of this utility model are mainly solved by the following technical solutions: A screw assembly mechanism for an electric motor includes a frame platform. A positioning fixture is provided at the upper end of the frame platform. A pre-assembled motor body and motor end cover shaft are placed on the positioning fixture. A screw assembly assembly for screwing the motor body and motor end cover shaft is provided on the side of the positioning fixture. The screw assembly assembly includes a screw assembly base, a screw assembly rotating shaft at the front end of the screw assembly base, and a lifting cylinder II between the screw assembly rotating shaft and the screw assembly base.
[0007] Preferably, the other side of the positioning fixture is provided with a lifting limiter, which includes a lifting limit seat. The lifting limit seat is provided with a pressure plate that is lifted and pressed against the upper end of the motor end cover shaft. A lifting cylinder I is provided between the pressure plate and the lifting limit seat.
[0008] Preferably, the lower end of the screw assembly base is provided with a screw assembly bracket, a front-to-back displacement lead screw seat is provided between the screw assembly bracket and the screw assembly base, and a left-to-right displacement lead screw seat is provided between the front-to-back displacement lead screw seat and the screw assembly base. The front-to-back displacement lead screw seat is composed of a structure in which a motor drives the lead screw through a pulley. The left-to-right displacement lead screw seat adopts a structure in which a motor drives the lead screw.
[0009] Preferably, a turntable is provided between the positioning fixture and the machine frame, and a plurality of positioning fixtures are distributed in a ring on the turntable. An angle motor is provided between the turntable and the machine frame.
[0010] Preferably, the screw mounting base is equipped with a servo motor that drives the screw mounting shaft to run.
[0011] This mechanism mainly includes a machine frame, a turntable indexing system, a positioning and clamping system, and a screw locking system.
[0012] (1) Turntable indexing system, structure: including a turntable mounted on the machine frame and an angle motor that drives the turntable to rotate.
[0013] Layout: There are three positioning fixtures arranged in a ring on the turntable.
[0014] Function: The turntable is driven by an angle motor to rotate intermittently, which sequentially and cyclically delivers three tooling seats to different work areas, realizing the parallel operation of the three processes of loading, screw assembly and unloading, which significantly improves production efficiency.
[0015] (2) Positioning and bearing, structure: the positioning fixture is fixed on the turntable.
[0016] Function: Used to place and position the pre-pressed motor body and motor end cover shaft to ensure product stability during rotation and assembly.
[0017] (3) Lifting and limiting system (side pressure mechanism), location: located on one side of the positioning fixture (corresponding to the assembly station).
[0018] Structure: It consists of a lifting limit seat, a lifting cylinder I mounted on the seat, and a pressure plate that is driven by the cylinder to move up and down.
[0019] Function: Before screw assembly, lifting cylinder I drives the pressure plate to descend and press against the upper end of the motor end cover shaft. Its purpose is to counteract the torque and axial force when the screw is tightened, preventing displacement or deflection of the motor end cover shaft.
[0020] (4) Screw assembly system (three-axis linkage locking mechanism), position: located on the other side of the positioning fixture (corresponding to the assembly station), opposite to the lifting limit system.
[0021] Drive structure: Includes the screw mount and the servo motor mounted on it. The servo motor drives the screw mount shaft to rotate, providing high-precision locking torque.
[0022] Lifting structure (Z-axis): A lifting cylinder II is provided between the screw assembly shaft and the screw assembly seat, which drives the shaft to move vertically up and down. In conjunction with the shaft's extendable assembly stroke, it completes the pressing down and sucking / screwing of the screw.
[0023] Horizontal adjustment structure (X / Y axis): The screw assembly seat is supported by the screw assembly bracket. A front-to-back displacement lead screw seat is provided between the screw assembly bracket (17) and the screw assembly seat. A left-to-right displacement lead screw seat is provided between the front-to-back displacement lead screw seat and the screw assembly seat.
[0024] Function: By adjusting the left and right and front and back lead screw seats, the horizontal position of the screwdriver bit can be flexibly changed to adapt to the changes in screw hole positions of different motor models and achieve alignment.
[0025] This invention can achieve the following effects: This utility model provides a screw assembly mechanism for an electric motor. Compared with the prior art, it can achieve stable clamping of the motor end cover shaft, has flexible hole position adjustment function, and can achieve high efficiency and high precision motor screw assembly mechanism through multi-station turntable to realize synchronous feeding and assembly.
[0026] Improve assembly quality and consistency: Replace manual labor with automated mechanisms to solve the problem of inaccurate torque control when manually tightening screws, and avoid phenomena such as stripping and loose tightening.
[0027] Solving the displacement problem during assembly: To address the issue that the motor end cover shaft is prone to rotation or tilting due to torque when tightening screws, a reliable lateral clamping and limiting mechanism is provided to ensure the stability of the assembly process.
[0028] Improve the versatility and adjustability of the equipment: solve the problem that the existing equipment is difficult to adapt to the screw hole positions of different motor models, and adopt an adjustable moving mechanism to achieve quick model change and precise alignment.
[0029] Improve production efficiency: The multi-station turntable design enables parallel operation of loading, assembly, and unloading processes, reducing equipment waiting time and significantly increasing production capacity. Attached Figure Description
