[0079] To make the contents of this utility model easier to understand, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.

[0080] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic feeding and pressing device for motor end caps includes a frame, a conveyor line 1, a lifting mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3, a picking mechanism 4, a transfer mechanism 5, a transfer table 6, a flipping and conveying mechanism 7, a positioning and alignment mechanism 8, and a conveying and pressing mechanism 9.

[0081] The conveyor line 1 is used to move the tray 11 carrying the motor body 10 to the pressing position;

[0082] The lifting mechanism 2 is used to lift the pallet 11 carrying the motor body 10 that has been conveyed to the pressing position and to put the lifted pallet 11 back onto the conveyor line 1.

[0083] The feeding mechanism 3 is used to store the end cap 12 and to deliver the stored end cap 12 to the feeding position;

[0084] The material handling mechanism 4 is used to transport the end cap 12 in the material supply position to the transfer mechanism 5;

[0085] The transfer mechanism 5 is used to transport and move the end cap 12 to the material picking position;

[0086] The flipping and conveying mechanism 7 is used to transport the end cap 12 in the material picking position and flip the end cap 12 up and down and place it on the transfer platform 6. The flipping and conveying mechanism 7 is also used to transport the end cap 12 on the transfer platform 6 to the positioning and alignment mechanism 8. The transfer platform 6 is connected to the frame.

[0087] The positioning and alignment mechanism 8 is used to rotate the end cap 12 into position so as to align the end cap 12.

[0088] The transport and pressing mechanism 9 is used to transport the end cap 12 on the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 to the motor body 10 pressed on the tray 11 supported by the lifting mechanism 2.

[0089] Specifically, firstly, the conveyor line 1 transports the pallet 11 carrying the motor body 10 to the pressing position. Then, the lifting mechanism 2 lifts the pallet 11 carrying the motor body 10 from the pressing position. Simultaneously, the feeding mechanism 3 delivers the stored end caps 12 to the feeding position. The picking mechanism 4 transports the end caps 12 from the feeding position to the transfer mechanism 5. The transfer mechanism 5 transports the end caps 12 to the picking position. The flipping and conveying mechanism 7 picks up the end caps 12 from the picking position and flips them 180° before placing them in the designated location. On the transfer platform 6, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7 can also transport the end cover 12 on the transfer platform 6 to the positioning and alignment mechanism 8. The positioning and alignment mechanism 8 can drive the end cover 12 to rotate in order to align the end cover 12. Finally, the conveying and pressing mechanism 9 can transport the end cover 12 that has been aligned on the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 to the motor body 10 that is pressed onto the pallet 11 that is lifted by the lifting mechanism 2. After the pressing is completed, the lifting mechanism 2 will put the lifted pallet 11 back onto the conveyor line 1, and then the conveyor line 1 will send the pallet 11 away. In this embodiment, the conveyor line 1 transports the tray 11 carrying the motor body 10 to the pressing position, and the lifting mechanism 2 lifts the tray 11 carrying the motor body 10 in the pressing position, thus completing the automatic feeding of the motor body 10. Simultaneously, the feeding mechanism 3, the picking mechanism 4, the transfer mechanism 5, the transfer table 6, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7, the positioning and alignment mechanism 8, and the conveying and pressing mechanism 9 complete the conveying, loading, flipping, and alignment of the end cover 12, and then press-fit the end cover 12 into the motor body 10. This achieves automatic feeding and pressing assembly of the end cover 12 and the motor body 10, greatly reducing labor costs and worker workload, and making it more convenient to use. In this embodiment, the motor body 10 can be the body of a tricycle motor, and the end cover 12 can be the rear cover of a tricycle motor; wherein the feeding mechanism 3, the picking mechanism 4, the transfer mechanism 5, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7, the positioning and alignment mechanism 8, the conveying and pressing mechanism 9, the conveyor line 1, and the lifting mechanism 2 can all be connected to the frame.

[0090] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the feeding mechanism 3 may include a material support slide 13, a material support plate 14, a material support driving component 15, a turntable 16, a rotation driving component 17, and at least two sleeves 18.

[0091] The sleeve 18 is connected to the outer periphery of the turntable 16 and arranged sequentially along the circumference of the turntable 16. The sleeve 18 is used to stack end caps 12, and the turntable 16 is used to support the end caps 12 stacked at the bottom in the sleeve 18.

[0092] The outer periphery of the turntable 16 is provided with a first opening groove 19 corresponding to the sleeve 18, and the sleeve 18 is provided with a notch groove 20 aligned with the corresponding first opening groove 19.

[0093] The turntable 16 is connected to the rotary drive component 17, which is connected to the frame and is used to drive the turntable 16 to rotate, thereby moving the sleeve 18 and the end caps 12 stacked in the sleeve 18 to the material support position.

[0094] The material support slide 13 is slidably connected to the frame in the vertical direction;

[0095] The material support plate 14 is connected to the material support slide 13 and is located below the end cap 12 in the sleeve 18 at the material support position;

[0096] The material-supporting drive component 15 is connected to the frame. The material-supporting drive component 15 is connected to the material-supporting slide 13 and is used to drive the material-supporting slide 13 and the material-supporting plate 14 to move upward so that the material-supporting plate 14 slides upward through the corresponding first opening groove 19 and into the corresponding notch groove 20, and lifts the end cap 12 in the sleeve 18 in the material-supporting position upward, thereby raising the uppermost end cap 12 of the end caps 12 supported by the material-supporting plate 14 to the feeding position.

[0097] In this embodiment, a feeding sensor is connected to the frame. The feeding sensor is used to detect whether there is an end cap 12 in the feeding position. When the feeding sensor detects that there is an end cap 12 in the feeding position, it sends a material presence signal to the controller. When the feeding sensor detects that there is no end cap 12 in the feeding position, it sends a material absence signal to the controller. The controller is connected to the material support drive component 15 and is used to control the material support drive component 15 to stop driving the material support slide 13 and the material support plate 14 to move upward when it receives the material presence signal. When it receives the material absence signal, the controller is also used to control the material support drive component 15 to work so as to drive the material support slide 13 and the material support plate 14 to move upward, thereby driving the end cap 12 supported by the material support plate 14 to move upward until the uppermost end cap 12 rises to the feeding position and is detected by the feeding sensor.

[0098] Specifically, end caps 12 are stacked in the sleeve 18. The rotary drive component 17 drives the turntable 16 to rotate, thereby moving one of the sleeves 18 and the end caps 12 stacked in the sleeve 18 to the material support position. Then, the material support drive component 15 drives the material support slide 13 and the material support plate 14 to move upward. The material support plate 14 will slide upward through the corresponding first opening groove 19 and into the corresponding notch groove 20, thus lifting the end caps 12 in the sleeve 18 in the material support position upward. When the material support plate 14 lifts the stacked end caps 12 into position, the topmost end cap 12 will rise to the feeding position. Then, the material handling mechanism 4 will transport the end cap 12 in the feeding position to the transfer mechanism 5. Then, the material support drive component 15 will drive the material support slide 13 and the material support plate 14 to move upward a certain distance, thereby raising the topmost end cap 12 to the feeding position, thus enabling the end caps 12 to be sent to the feeding position one by one. After all the lifted end caps 12 have been taken, the material support drive component 15 will drive the material support slide 13 and the material support plate 14 to move downward into position. Then, the rotation drive component 17 will drive the turntable 16 to rotate, thereby moving the next sleeve 18 to the feeding position, and then repeating the above operation.

[0099] In this embodiment, the rotary drive component 17 can be a cam divider, and the material support drive component 15 can be a lead screw and nut mechanism. The specific structures of the lead screw and nut mechanism and the cam divider are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0100] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the material handling mechanism 4 may include a moving component 21, a first lifting cylinder 22, and a first gripping component 23;

[0101] The first gripping component 23 is connected to the first lifting cylinder 22;

[0102] The first lifting cylinder 22 is connected to the moving assembly 21 and is used to drive the first gripping component 23 to move up and down;

[0103] The moving component 21 is connected to the frame and is used to move the first lifting cylinder 22 and the first gripping component 23 between the gripping position and the discharging position. The first gripping component 23 is used to grip the end cap 12 in the feeding position when it moves to the gripping position and the first lifting cylinder 22 drives the first gripping component 23 to descend into place. The first gripping component 23 is also used to release the gripped end cap 12 so that the end cap 12 falls onto the transfer mechanism 5 when it moves to the discharging position and the first lifting cylinder 22 drives the first gripping component 23 to descend into place.

[0104] like Figure 5 , 6 As shown, the transfer mechanism 5 may include a transfer seat 24, a transfer drive component 25, a first lifting seat 26, and a lifting drive component 27;

[0105] The first lifting seat 26 is slidably connected to the transfer seat 24 in the vertical direction;

[0106] The lifting drive component 27 is connected to the transfer seat 24 and connected to the first lifting seat 26, and is used to drive the first lifting seat 26 to move up and down.

[0107] The transfer seat 24 is slidably connected to the frame and is used to move between the receiving position and the picking position;

[0108] The transfer drive component 25 is connected to the transfer seat 24 and is used to drive the transfer seat 24 to the receiving position so that the first lifting seat 26 can receive the end cap 12 transported by the material picking mechanism 4. The transfer drive component 25 is also used to drive the transfer seat 24 to the picking position, thereby driving the end cap 12 on the first lifting seat 26 to the picking position.

[0109] Specifically, after the moving component 21 moves the first lifting cylinder 22 and the first gripping component 23 to the gripping position, the first lifting cylinder 22 will move the first gripping component 23 downwards into place, and then the first gripping component 23 will grip the end cap 12 in the feeding position. Then, the first lifting cylinder 22 will move the first gripping component 23 upwards, and then the moving component 21 will move the first lifting cylinder 22 and the first gripping component 23 to the discharging position. At the same time, the transfer drive component 25 will move the transfer seat 24 to the receiving position, and the lifting drive component 27 will drive the first lifting seat 26 upwards. Then, the first lifting cylinder 22 will move the first gripping component 23 downwards into place, and then the first gripping component 23 will release the gripped end cap 12 so that the end cap 12 falls onto the first lifting seat 26. Then, the first lifting cylinder 22 drives the first gripping component 23 to rise, the lifting drive component 27 drives the first lifting seat 26 to descend, and then the transfer drive component 25 drives the transfer seat 24 to move to the material picking position, thereby driving the end cover 12 on the first lifting seat 26 to move to the material picking position. Then, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7 can carry the end cover 12 in the material picking position and flip the end cover 12 up and down and place it on the transfer table 6.

[0110] More specifically, the first gripping component 23 includes a first pneumatic finger 28 connected to the first lifting cylinder 22 and two first gripping fingers 29 connected to the first pneumatic finger 28. When the moving component 21 moves the first lifting cylinder 22 to the gripping position and the first lifting cylinder 22 lowers the first pneumatic finger 28 into position, the two first gripping fingers 29 connected to the first pneumatic finger 28 extend into the central hole 30 on the end cap 12. Then, the first pneumatic finger 28 drives the two first gripping fingers 29 to separate so that the two first gripping fingers 29 abut against the inner wall of the central hole 30, thereby gripping the end cap 12. When the moving component 21 moves the first lifting cylinder 22 to the unloading position and the first lifting cylinder 22 lowers the first pneumatic finger 28 into position, the first pneumatic finger 28 drives the two first gripping fingers 29 to close together to release the gripped end cap 12, thereby allowing the end cap 12 to fall onto the first lifting seat 26. In this embodiment, the moving component 21 can be a linear module, the first lifting cylinder 22 can be a slide cylinder, and both the transfer drive component 25 and the lifting drive component 27 can be cylinders.

[0111] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown in Figures 8 and 9, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7 may include a transverse seat 31, a transverse drive component, a second lifting seat 32, a second lifting cylinder 33, a rotary cylinder 34, and a second gripping component 35.

[0112] The transfer platform 6 is provided with a second opening slot 36 for the second gripping component 35 to pass through;

[0113] The transverse sliding seat 31 is slidably connected to the frame;

[0114] The transverse drive is connected to the frame and to the transverse seat 31 and is used to drive the transverse seat 31 to move between the first working position and the second working position.

[0115] The second lifting seat 32 is slidably connected to the transverse seat 31 in the vertical direction;

[0116] The second lifting cylinder 33 is connected to the transverse seat 31 and connected to the second lifting seat 32, and is used to drive the second lifting seat 32 to move up and down;

[0117] The rotary cylinder 34 is connected to the second lifting seat 32, and the second gripping component 35 is connected to the rotary cylinder 34. When the lateral drive drives the lateral seat 31 to move to the first working position and the second lifting cylinder 33 drives the second lifting seat 32 to descend into position, the second gripping component 35 is used to grip the end cap 12 in the material picking position. When the second lifting cylinder 33 drives the second lifting seat 32 to rise and the rotary cylinder 34 drives the second gripping component 35 to rotate, thereby causing the end cap 12 gripped by the second gripping component 35 to flip up and down, and the lateral drive drives the lateral seat 31 to move to the second working position, the second gripping component 35 is used to release the grip on the end cap 12 so that the end cap 12 is supported on the second gripping component 35. Then, the second lifting cylinder 33 drives the second lifting seat 32 to descend, thereby causing the second gripping component 35 to pass down through the second opening slot 36, so that the end cap 12 supported on the second gripping component 35 is carried on the transfer table 6.

[0118] Specifically, the transverse drive can drive the transverse seat 31 to move to the first working position. When the transfer drive component 25 drives the transfer seat 24 to the material picking position and then drives the end cover 12 on the first lifting seat 26 to move to the material picking position, the second lifting cylinder 33 will drive the second lifting seat 32 to descend into place, and then the second gripping component 35 will grip the end cover 12 in the material picking position. Then, the second lifting cylinder 33 drives the second lifting seat 32 to rise, and the transfer drive component 25 drives the transfer seat 24 to the receiving position. Then, the rotary cylinder 34 drives the second gripping component 35 to rotate, thereby causing the end cap 12 gripped by the second gripping component 35 to flip up and down. The transverse drive component drives the transverse seat 31 to move to the second working position. At this time, the second gripping component 35 is located above the transfer platform 6. Then, the second gripping component 35 releases its grip on the end cap 12 so that the end cap 12 is supported on the second gripping component 35. Then, the second lifting cylinder 33 drives the second lifting seat 32 to descend, thereby driving the second gripping component 35 downward through the second opening slot 36, so that the end cap 12 supported on the second gripping component 35 is carried on the transfer platform 6. Then the lateral drive will drive the lateral seat 31 to move to the first working position so that the second gripping component 35 moves laterally and exits from under the end cover 12 on the transfer table 6. Then the second lifting cylinder 33 will drive the second lifting seat 32 to rise. The rotary cylinder 34 will drive the second gripping component 35 to rotate and reset. Then wait for the first lifting seat 26 to move with the next end cover 12 to the material picking position.

[0119] The second gripping component 35 includes a support plate 37, a second pneumatic finger 38, two mounting blocks 39, and two second gripping fingers 40. The support plate 37 is connected to the rotary cylinder 34, the second pneumatic finger 38 is connected to the support plate 37, and both mounting blocks 39 are connected to the second pneumatic finger 38. The two second gripping fingers 40 correspond one-to-one with the two mounting blocks 39 and are connected to the corresponding mounting blocks 39. When the second lifting cylinder 33 drives the second lifting seat 32 to descend into position, the two second gripping fingers 40 will extend into the central hole 30 on the end cap 12. Then, the second pneumatic finger 38 will drive the two mounting blocks 39 to separate from each other, thereby causing the two second gripping fingers 40 to separate from each other so that the two second gripping fingers 40 abut against the inner wall of the central hole 30 and thus grip the end cap 12. When the rotary cylinder 34 drives the second pneumatic finger 38 on the support plate 37 to rotate, it can cause the end cap 12 to flip up and down. When the second pneumatic finger 38 drives the two mounting blocks 39 to close together, it can also drive the two second gripping fingers 40 to close together, thereby releasing the gripping fingers 40 from the center hole 30 of the end cap 12. At this time, the end cap 12 will be supported on the two mounting blocks 39. Then, when the second lifting cylinder 33 drives the second lifting seat 32 to descend, it can drive the second pneumatic finger 38 downward through the second opening slot 36, thereby allowing the end cap 12 supported on the mounting blocks 39 to be supported on the transfer platform 6. In this embodiment, the transverse drive can be a cylinder.

[0120] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7 may also include a third lifting cylinder 41, a conveying seat 42, and a conveying and absorbing component 43;

[0121] The transport and suction component 43 is connected to the transport seat 42, the transport seat 42 is connected to the third lifting cylinder 41, the third lifting cylinder 41 is connected to the transverse seat 31 and is used to drive the transport seat 42 and the transport and suction component 43 to move up and down. The transport and suction component 43 is used to suck up the end cover 12 on the transfer platform 6 when the transverse seat 31 moves to the first working position and the third lifting cylinder 41 drives the transport and suction component 43 to descend into place. The transport and suction component 43 is also used to release the sucked end cover 12 so that the end cover 12 falls on the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 when the transverse seat 31 moves to the second working position and the third lifting cylinder 41 drives the transport and suction component 43 to descend into place.

[0122] Specifically, when the lateral drive unit moves the lateral seat 31 to the first working position, the transport and suction component 43 moves above the transfer platform 6. Then, the third lifting cylinder 41 drives the transport and suction component 43 on the transport seat 42 to descend into position. The transport and suction component 43 then sucks up the end cap 12 on the transfer platform 6. The third lifting cylinder 41 then drives the transport seat 42 to rise, thereby raising the end cap 12 sucked up by the transport and suction component 43. Then, when the lateral drive unit moves the lateral seat 31 to the second working position, the transport and suction component 43 moves above the positioning and alignment mechanism 8. The third lifting cylinder 41 then drives the transport seat 42 to descend into position. The transport and suction component 43 then releases the sucked end cap 12 so that the end cap 12 falls onto the positioning and alignment mechanism 8. In this embodiment, the conveying and suction component 43 includes multiple vacuum suction cups. The specific structure and installation method of the vacuum suction cups are existing technologies well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0123] like Figure 5 , 7 As shown in Figures 9 and 1, the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 may include a rotating base 44, a positioning column 45, a positioning motor 46, a positioning sensor, and a controller. The end cover 12 is provided with a positioning part corresponding to the positioning sensor.

[0124] The rotating seat 44 is rotatably connected to the frame. The flipping and conveying mechanism 7 is used to convey the end cover 12 on the transfer platform 6 to the rotating seat 44. The conveying and pressing mechanism 9 is used to convey the aligned end cover 12 on the rotating seat 44 to the motor body 10 pressed on the tray 11 supported by the lifting mechanism 2.

[0125] The positioning pin 45 is connected to the rotating seat 44 and is used to insert into the center hole 30 of the end cap 12 when the end cap 12 is placed on the rotating seat 44, so as to position the end cap 12 on the rotating seat 44.

[0126] The positioning motor 46 is connected to the frame and to the rotating seat 44, and is used to drive the rotating seat 44 to rotate, thereby causing the end cover 12 on the rotating seat 44 to rotate.

[0127] The positioning sensor is connected to the controller and is used to send a stop signal to the controller when a corresponding positioning part is detected on the end cover 12. The positioning sensor is connected to the frame.

[0128] The controller is connected to the positioning motor 46 and is used to control the positioning motor 46 to stop rotating according to the received stop signal.

[0129] Specifically, after the conveying and suction component 43 releases the suctioned end cap 12, the end cap 12 will fall onto the rotating seat 44 in the positioning and alignment mechanism 8, and the positioning pin 45 will be inserted into the center hole 30 of the end cap 12. Then, the positioning motor 46 will drive the rotating seat 44 to rotate, thereby driving the end cap 12 on the rotating seat 44 to rotate. After the end cap 12 rotates to a suitable angle, the positioning sensor will detect the corresponding positioning part on the end cap 12 and send a stop signal to the controller. After receiving the stop signal, the controller will control the positioning motor 46 to stop rotating, thereby causing the end cap 12 on the rotating seat 44 to stop at the specified angle position, thereby completing the alignment of the end cap 12 on the rotating seat 44.

[0130] In this embodiment, the end cap 12 placed on the rotating seat 44 has an annular protrusion facing downwards, and the annular protrusion has a notch 47. The outer periphery of the end cap 12 also has multiple lugs 48. The notch 47 and the lugs 48 are types of positioning parts. The positioning sensor includes a side sensor 49 and a bottom sensor 50. When the bottom sensor 50 detects the notch 47 and the side sensor 49 detects the lugs 48, both the bottom sensor 50 and the side sensor 49 send a stop signal to the controller, and then the controller controls the positioning motor 46 to stop rotating. In this embodiment, multiple bottom sensors 50 and multiple side sensors 49 are arranged at different angles. Because the installation angle of the end cap 12 is different when producing different types of products, the bottom sensors 50 at different angles are used to detect the notch 47, and the side sensors 49 at different angles are used to detect the lugs 48 when producing different types of products.

[0131] like Figures 10-13 As shown, the conveying and pressing mechanism 9 may include a movable base 51, a movable driving component 52, a pressing base 53, a pressing driving mechanism 54, a pressing suction component 55, and a pressure application component 56.

[0132] The movable seat 51 is slidably connected to the frame and has a third working position and a fourth working position during the sliding process;

[0133] The moving drive component 52 is connected to the frame and connected to the moving base 51, and is used to drive the moving base 51 to move between the third working position and the fourth working position;

[0134] The pressing base 53 is slidably connected to the movable base 51 in the vertical direction;

[0135] The press-fitting drive mechanism 54 is connected to the press-fitting base 53 and the movable base 51 respectively and is used to drive the press-fitting base 53 to move up and down relative to the movable base 51.

[0136] The press-fit suction component 55 is connected to the press-fit base 53. The press-fit suction component 55 is used to suck up the end cap 12 on the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 when the moving base 51 moves to the third working position and the press-fit drive mechanism 54 drives the press-fit base 53 to descend into place.

[0137] The pressure-applying component 56 is connected to the pressing base 53 and is used to abut against the upper end face of the end cap 12 held by the pressing suction component 55, so that when the moving base 51 moves to the fourth working position and the pressing drive mechanism 54 drives the pressing base 53 to descend, the pressure-applying component 56 abuts against the upper end face of the end cap 12 held by the pressing suction component 55, thereby pressing the end cap 12 downward into the motor body 10 on the tray 11 supported by the lifting mechanism 2.

[0138] like Figures 10-13 As shown, the conveying and pressing mechanism 9 may also include a positioning component 57 and a positioning cylinder 58;

[0139] The positioning component 57 is slidably connected to the press base 53 in the vertical direction, and the positioning component 57 has at least two positioning rod portions 59.

[0140] The positioning cylinder 58 is connected to the press-fit base 53. The positioning cylinder 58 is connected to the positioning component 57 and is used to drive the positioning component 57 to move downward when the press-fit suction component 55 sucks the end cap 12 on the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 so that the positioning rod 59 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole on the end cap 12, so as to reposition the end cap 12 that has been aligned on the positioning and alignment mechanism 8.

[0141] Specifically, after the end cap 12 on the rotating seat 44 in the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 is aligned, the moving drive component 52 will drive the moving seat 51 to move to the third working position. At this time, the pressing and suction component 55 is located above the positioning and alignment mechanism 8. Then, the pressing drive mechanism 54 will drive the pressing seat 53 to descend into place. Then, the pressing and suction component 55 will suck up the end cap 12 on the rotating seat 44 in the positioning and alignment mechanism 8. Then, the positioning cylinder 58 will drive the positioning component 57 to move downward so that the positioning rod 59 is inserted into the corresponding positioning hole on the end cap 12. Then, the pressing drive mechanism 54 drives the pressing seat 53 to rise, thereby lifting the end cap 12 held by the pressing suction component 55. Then, the moving drive component 52 drives the moving seat 51 to the fourth working position. At this time, the end cap 12 held by the pressing suction component 55 moves above the motor body 10 on the tray 11 supported by the lifting mechanism 2. Then, the pressing drive mechanism 54 drives the pressing seat 53 to descend, and the pressing component 56 presses against the upper surface of the end cap 12 held by the pressing suction component 55, thus pressing the end cap 12 downwards into the motor body 10 on the tray 11 supported by the lifting mechanism 2. After pressing is completed, the positioning cylinder 58 drives the positioning component 57 to rise, causing the positioning rod 59 to exit from the positioning hole on the end cap 12. The pressing suction component 55 releases the held end cap 12, and the pressing drive mechanism 54 drives the pressing seat 53 to rise.

[0142] In this embodiment, the pressing seat 53 includes a first seat 60, a second seat 61, a third seat 62, at least two upper guide pillars 63, and at least two lower guide pillars 64. The upper end of each upper guide pillar 63 is connected to the first seat 60, and the lower end of each upper guide pillar 63 is connected to the second seat 61. The upper end of each lower guide pillar 64 is connected to the second seat 61, and the lower end of each lower guide pillar 64 is connected to the third seat 62. The upper guide pillars 63 are slidably connected to the movable seat 51 in the vertical direction. The pressing suction component 55 and the pressure application component 56 are both connected to the third seat 62. The positioning component 57 is slidably connected to the third seat 62 in the vertical direction. The positioning cylinder 58 is connected to the second seat 61 and is connected to the positioning component 57. The press-fitting drive mechanism 54 includes a press-fitting motor 65, a transmission screw 66, and a transmission nut 67. The upper end of the transmission screw 66 is rotatably connected to the first base 60, and the lower end of the transmission screw 66 is rotatably connected to the second base 61. The transmission nut 67 is connected to the movable base 51 and engages with the transmission screw 66. The press-fitting motor 65 is connected to the first base 60 and to the transmission screw 66. The press-fitting motor 65 drives the transmission screw 66 to rotate, thereby causing the entire press-fitting base 53 to move up and down relative to the movable base 51 through the engagement of the transmission screw 66 and the transmission nut 67. The press-fitting suction component 55 may include multiple vacuum suction cups, the pressure application component 56 may be an abutment block, and the moving drive component 52 may be a rodless cylinder.

[0143] like Figure 14 , 15 As shown, the automatic feeding and pressing equipment for motor end caps may further include a support mechanism, which is used to abut against the motor body 10 on the lifted pallet 11 when the lifting mechanism 2 lifts the pallet 11 in the pressing position, so as to provide upward support for the motor body 10.

[0144] The lifting mechanism 2 may include a lifting seat 68 and a lifting cylinder 69;

[0145] The lifting seat 68 is slidably connected to the frame in the vertical direction. The lifting cylinder 69 is connected to the frame and connected to the lifting seat 68 and is used to drive the lifting seat 68 to rise so that the lifting seat 68 lifts the tray 11 carrying the motor body 10 in the pressing position. The lifting cylinder 69 is also used to drive the lifting seat 68 to descend so that the lifted tray 11 is put back onto the conveyor line 1.

[0146] The support mechanism may include a support column 70, a support cylinder 71, a pad block 72, and a drive cylinder 73;

[0147] The support column 70 is slidably connected to the frame in the vertical direction. The lifting seat 68 is provided with a first channel 74 for the support column 70 to pass through, and the tray 11 is provided with a second channel 75 for the support column 70 to pass through.

[0148] The support cylinder 71 is connected to the frame and to the support column 70, and is used to drive the support column 70 to rise when the lifting seat 68 lifts the tray 11 so that the support column 70 passes through the first channel 74 and the second channel 75 and then abuts against the lower end of the motor body 10 on the tray 11 to provide upward support for the motor body 10.

[0149] The pad 72 is slidably connected to the frame and has a supporting position that slides toward the support column 70 and a releasing position that slides away from the support column 70 during the sliding process. The pad 72 is provided with a third opening groove 76 facing the support column 70, and the support column 70 is provided with a step portion 77 facing downward.

[0150] The drive cylinder 73 is connected to the frame and to the pad 72 and is used to drive the pad 72 to move. When the drive cylinder 73 drives the pad 72 to the support position, the support column 70 is engaged in the third opening slot 76 and the pad 72 is used to support the step portion 77 on the support column 70. When the drive cylinder 73 drives the pad 72 to the release position, the pad 72 separates from the support column 70.

[0151] Specifically, after the conveyor line 1 transports the tray 11 carrying the motor body 10 to the pressing position, the lifting cylinder 69 drives the lifting seat 68 to rise, thereby lifting the tray 11 carrying the motor body 10 in the pressing position. Then, the support cylinder 71 drives the support column 70 to rise, so that the support column 70 passes through the first channel 74 and the second channel 75 and abuts against the lower end of the motor body 10 on the tray 11, thereby providing upward support for the motor body 10. Then, the drive cylinder 73 drives the pad 72 to move to the support position. At this time, a part of the support column 70 is engaged in the third opening slot 76, and the upper end face of the pad 72 is used to abut against the step portion 77 on the support column 70, thereby supporting the step portion 77. Then, the conveying pressing mechanism 9 presses the end cap 12 onto the motor body 10 on the tray 11. The step portion 77 is supported by the pad 72, providing upward support for the support column 70. The support column 70 then provides upward support for the motor body 10 on the tray 11. The pressure from the press-fit end cap 12 is sequentially transmitted to the end cap 12, the motor body 10, the support column 70, and the pad 72, finally reaching the frame. After pressing, the drive cylinder 73 moves the pad 72 to the release position, separating it from the support column 70. Then, the support cylinder 71 lowers the support column 70, and the lifting cylinder 69 lowers the lifting seat 68, placing the lifted tray 11 back onto the conveyor line 1. The conveyor line 1 then carries the tray 11 away.

[0152] More specifically, the lifting seat 68 includes an upper seat body 78, a lower seat body 79, and a connecting column 80. The upper end of the connecting column 80 is connected to the upper seat body 78, and the lower end of the connecting column 80 is connected to the lower seat body 79. The connecting column 80 is slidably connected to the frame in the vertical direction. The lifting cylinder 69 is connected to the frame and to the lower seat body 79, and is used to drive the lower seat body 79 to rise, thereby driving the upper seat body 78 to rise as well, so that the upper seat body 78 lifts the tray 11 carrying the motor body 10 in the pressing position. The upper seat body 78 is also connected to a positioning pin 81 for inserting into the pin hole in the tray 11. More specifically, the top of the support column 70 is provided with a receiving hole 82 for accommodating the motor shaft in the motor body 10, the pad 72 is slidably connected to the frame in the horizontal direction, two lifting cylinders 69 are provided, and the conveyor line 1 can be a double speed chain. The specific structure of the double speed chain is the prior art well known to those skilled in the art, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0153] In summary, firstly, the conveyor line 1 can transport the pallet 11 carrying the motor body 10 to the pressing position. Then, the lifting mechanism 2 will lift the pallet 11 carrying the motor body 10 in the pressing position. At the same time, the feeding mechanism 3 will send the stored end caps 12 to the feeding position. The picking mechanism 4 can transport the end caps 12 in the feeding position to the transfer mechanism 5. The transfer mechanism 5 can transport the end caps 12 to the picking position. The flipping and conveying mechanism 7 can pick up the end caps 12 in the picking position and flip the end caps 12 180° up and down before placing them on the platform. On the transfer platform 6, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7 can also transport the end cover 12 on the transfer platform 6 to the positioning and alignment mechanism 8. The positioning and alignment mechanism 8 can drive the end cover 12 to rotate in order to align the end cover 12. Finally, the conveying and pressing mechanism 9 can transport the end cover 12 that has been aligned on the positioning and alignment mechanism 8 to the motor body 10 that is pressed onto the pallet 11 that is lifted by the lifting mechanism 2. After the pressing is completed, the lifting mechanism 2 will put the lifted pallet 11 back onto the conveyor line 1, and then the conveyor line 1 will send the pallet 11 away. The conveyor line 1 transports the pallet 11 carrying the motor body 10 to the pressing position, and the lifting mechanism 2 lifts the pallet 11 carrying the motor body 10 in the pressing position, thus completing the automatic feeding of the motor body 10. At the same time, the feeding mechanism 3, the picking mechanism 4, the transfer mechanism 5, the transfer table 6, the flipping and conveying mechanism 7, the positioning and alignment mechanism 8, and the conveying and pressing mechanism 9 can complete the conveying, feeding, flipping, and alignment of the end cover 12, and then press and assemble the end cover 12 into the motor body 10. This realizes the automatic feeding and pressing assembly of the end cover 12 and the motor body 10, which greatly reduces labor costs and the labor intensity of workers, and makes it more convenient to use.
