BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present disclosure relates to the field of dispensing equipment, and in particular to an electrically-driven rotor iron core magnetic steel chamber dispensing device for performing a dispensing process in the gaps between a rotor iron core and a magnetic steel chunk of an electrically-driven rotor and thus fixing the magnetic steel chunk firmly to a magnetic steel chamber reserved in the rotor iron core.

2. Description of the Related Art

Conventional steel chunks are equidistantly arranged on the inner circumferential surface of a conventional electrically-driven permanent magnetic rotor. Fixed gaps are reserved between each magnetic steel chunk and holes of a rotor iron core. An assembly process entails inserting the magnetic steel chunks into the holes of the rotor iron core. To prevent the loosening (caused by a temperature increase during high-speed rotation of the rotor) of the magnetic steel chunks and thus resultant safety risks and preclude noise otherwise generated as a result of vibration within the holes of the magnetic steel chunks. In view of this, the gaps of the magnetic steel chunks have to be filled with thermoset resin plastic so as for the magnetic steel chunks to be fixed in place. The thermoset resin is produced by heating up resin to cause a chemical change therein, followed by gradual curing. Once cured, the thermoset resin will not be softened or dissolved even if heated again.

Conventional dispensing processes generally fall into two categories. The first one is carried out manually; hence, it is inefficient and predisposed to imprecise dispensing position and uneven dispensing. The second one is carried out with a conventional dispensing device. However, the conventional dispensing device requires a lengthy dispensing channel and a large plastic block, thereby causing a waste of plastic, uneven plastic heating, and even premature curing caused by prolonged plastic flow and reaction, eventually leading to a failure to fill the gaps of the magnetic steel chunks. The prior art has two disadvantages. First, the prior art usually entails filling the plastic from the top to the bottom, thereby disadvantageously allowing air to linger inside the gaps of the magnetic steel chamber, leading to uneven, loose plastic filling. Second, conventional dispensing device is applicable to upper dispensing (i.e., performing dispensing in a downward direction) and thus tends to allow air to linger in the gaps of the magnetic steel chamber, eventually leading to uneven, loose filling of plastic. Third, strictly speaking, most conventional dispensing devices fail to achieve automation; after conventional dispensing devices have performed a dispensing process, residual waste plastic cannot be reused (because of the characteristics of thermosetting resin), and thus it is necessary to take the waste plastic out reasonably and send it to a reasonable region; however, conventional dispensing devices are applicable to upper dispensing; when the waste plastic is released from a die, it falls under the gravity and thus cannot be precisely caught and conveyed to a reasonable region. Furthermore, conventional dispensing devices are applicable to upper dispensing and thus cannot reliably achieve reliable separation of the waste plastic and the plastic injected into the magnetic steel chamber.

Therefore, it is important to overcome the aforesaid drawbacks of the prior art.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVETION

To facilitate understanding of the object, characteristics and effects of this present disclosure, embodiments together with the attached drawings for the detailed description of the present disclosure are provided.

Embodiment: an electrically-driven rotor iron core magnetic steel chamber dispensing device.

Referring to FIGS. 1-6, in this embodiment the dispensing device is for use in dispensing plastic into the gaps between an electrically-driven rotor iron core magnetic steel chamber and magnetic steel chunks, and the rotor iron core comprises iron core segments stacked up.

The dispensing device comprises an upper mold 1 and a lower mold 2. The lower mold 2 comprises dispensing units. The dispensing units each correspond in position to one or two magnetic steel chambers. Each magnetic steel chamber comprises an even number of magnetic steel chamber. Each magnetic steel chamber comprises four magnetic steel chambers or two magnetic steel chambers. The dispensing units are arranged in the circumferential direction of the electrically-driven rotor and correspond in position to the magnetic steel chambers. All the dispensing units dispense plastic upward. The dispensing units each comprise a dispensing head, a plunger barrel 22, a plunger 20 and a stop-injection opening pin 21. The dispensing head has a dispensing channel. The dispensing channel is disposed at the top of the plunger barrel 22 and is in communication with the plunger barrel 22. The plunger 20 is disposed in the plunger barrel 22 and slides upward and downward relative to the plunger barrel 22. The dispensing opening is disposed at the top of the dispensing head, faces the magnetic steel chamber, and is in communication with the dispensing channel. The dispensing opening of each dispensing unit corresponds in position to the gaps between the magnetic steel chamber and the magnetic steel chunks from below. The stop-injection opening pin 21 comprises a pin body. The pin body is vertically disposed beside the plunger barrel 22 and fixed to the lower mold 2 from inside. A pin head portion 27 is disposed at the top of the pin body. A barb is formed between the pin head portion 27 and the pin body. The pin head portion 27 protrudes into the dispensing channel of the dispensing head such that molten plastic in the dispensing channel can enter the barb. After the plastic has cured, it forms a reliable anchorage between the waste plastic 3 and the stop-injection opening pin 21.

The upper mold 1 comprises a dispensing plate 11. A dispensing through hole is disposed on the dispensing plate 11. The dispensing through hole tapers upward. The dispensing units dispense plastic into the magnetic steel chamber from the dispensing through hole through the dispensing opening.

The lower mold 2 further comprises a waste plastic plate 23, a stop-injection opening pressing plate 24, a waste plastic driving plate 25 and a release post 26. The waste plastic plate 23 is stacked on the stop-injection opening pressing plate 24. The waste plastic driving plate 25 is disposed at one end of the waste plastic plate 23 and corresponds in position to the waste plastic plate 23. The top acting end of the release post 26 acts on the waste plastic driving plate 25 to prevent the waste plastic plate 23 from moving downward together with the lower mold 2 (i.e., leaving), thereby allowing the waste plastic plate 23 to move away from the stop-injection opening pressing plate 24. The lower mold 2 further comprises a waste material taking mechanism (not shown). As soon as the waste plastic plate 23 moves away from the stop-injection opening pressing plate 24, the suction head of the waste material taking mechanism protrudes and acts on the waste plastic 3, such that the waste plastic 3 is lifted, taken and separated from the waste plastic plate 23, allowing the waste plastic 3 to be taken automatically and precisely in the next manufacturing process.

The dispensing plate 11 of the upper mold 1 further has a dispensing plate driving mechanism. The dispensing plate driving mechanism acts on the dispensing plate 11 to drive the dispensing plate 11 to move away from or move closer to the lower mold 2. In this embodiment, the dispensing plate driving mechanism is provided in the form of a dispensing plate knuckle 10, that is, a mechanical knuckle driving upper mold 1 separates from the lower mold 2.

The dispensing channel is located at the top of the waste plastic plate 23. When the stop-injection opening pressing plate 24 moves downward together with the lower mold 2, The stop-injection opening pin 21 moves downward together with the stop-injection opening pressing plate 24; hence, the waste plastic 3 moves downward together with the stop-injection opening pin 21, enabling separation of the waste plastic 3 and plastic injected into the magnetic steel chamber.

In this embodiment, first, the dispensing units inject plastic into the magnetic steel chamber through the dispensing opening. After a residue of the waste plastic 3 left behind in the dispensing channel has cured, the stop-injection opening pin 21 protruding into the dispensing channel and the waste plastic 3 are engaged with each other by the barb between the pin head portion 27 and the pin body and thus fixed together so as to form a reliable anchorage. When the upper mold 1 separates from the lower mold 2, the stop-injection opening pressing plate 24 of the lower mold 2 causes the stop-injection opening pin 21 to move away from the upper mold 1 (i.e., move downward); hence, the stop-injection opening pin 21 causes the waste plastic 3 to move downward, effectively controlling the separation of the waste plastic 3 and the plastic injected into the magnetic steel chamber.

Second, the upward filling process performed by the dispensing units can prevent air from remaining in the magnetic steel chamber.

The dispensing units each correspond in position to one or two magnetic steel chambers. The dispensing units are arranged in the circumferential direction of the electrically-driven rotor and correspond in position to the magnetic steel chamber. The dispensing units are disposed on the outer sides of the magnetic steel chamber and positioned proximate to the magnetic steel chamber or located in the direction of the projection of the magnetic steel chamber, allowing a large plastic block to be replaced by smaller plastic blocks, and minimizing the length of the dispensing channel. Furthermore, the dispensing opening of each dispensing unit corresponds in position to the magnetic steel chamber from below, allowing upward filling, enhancing the compactness of the plastic filled in the gaps of the magnetic steel chamber, and enhancing the reliability of the magnetic steel chunks fixed in place. Therefore, the present invention effectively avoids a waste of plastic, uneven plastic heating, and premature curing otherwise caused by prolonged plastic flow and reaction. The present disclosure is reliable, robust, short dispensing channel, low waste plasticity, and can effectively ensure separation of the waste plastic 23 and the plastic injected into the magnetic steel chamber, paving the way for subsequent automated operation of delivery of the waste plastic 23.

While the present disclosure has been described by means of specific embodiments, numerous modifications and variations could be made thereto by those skilled in the art without departing from the scope and spirit of the present disclosure set forth in the claims.
