APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING ROTOR FOR DRIVE MOTOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18380354 titled 'APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING ROTOR FOR DRIVE MOTOR
The apparatus described in the abstract is designed to assemble a rotor for a drive motor by press-fitting rotor core modules onto a shaft.
- The rotor assembly includes a frame, a shaft fixing unit, an elevation plate, a core gripper, a main vision sensor, a core rotating unit, and a core press-fitting unit.
- The shaft fixing unit is installed on the frame to secure the shaft vertically.
- The elevation plate has a through-hole for the shaft and rotor core modules to pass through vertically.
- The core gripper, main vision sensor, core rotating unit, and core press-fitting unit work together to press-fit the rotor core modules onto the shaft axially.
Potential Applications: - Manufacturing of drive motors - Industrial automation processes
Problems Solved: - Efficient assembly of rotor components - Precise alignment of rotor core modules
Benefits: - Increased productivity in motor assembly - Improved quality and consistency in rotor construction
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Rotor Assembly Apparatus for Drive Motors This technology can be used in the automotive industry, robotics, and other sectors requiring high-performance drive motors.
Questions about Rotor Assembly Apparatus: 1. How does the apparatus ensure precise alignment of the rotor core modules during assembly? The apparatus uses a combination of the core gripper, main vision sensor, and core press-fitting unit to ensure accurate positioning and alignment of the rotor core modules on the shaft.
2. What are the key advantages of using this rotor assembly apparatus compared to traditional assembly methods? The key advantages include increased efficiency, improved accuracy, and enhanced quality control in the assembly process.
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus for assembling a rotor for a drive motor is configured to press-fit, to a shaft, a plurality of rotor core modules, each of which has a plurality of stacked electrical steel sheets. The rotor may include a frame, a shaft fixing unit installed to the frame to fix the shaft along a vertical direction, an elevation plate having a through-hole formed to allow the shaft and the plurality of rotor core modules to pass therethrough along the vertical direction, and installed to the frame to be movable in the vertical direction, a core gripper, a main vision sensor, a core rotating unit connected to the core gripper, and a core press-fitting unit installed to the frame to press-fit the at least one rotor core module to the shaft along an axial direction.
