As an important part of modern motor technology, the rotor assembly process of brushless motor is particularly critical. The assembly method of the rotor and the configuration of the automatic production line equipment are directly related to the performance and quality of the motor. Below, Vacuz will introduce the assembly method of brushless motor rotor in detail and analyze the challenges faced by the automatic production line equipment in this process.

1. Assembly method of brushless motor rotor ‌

There are various ways to assemble the brushless motor rotor, among which magnetic steel filling is the core link. The main ways of magnetic steel filling include the following:

‌1. Uniform embedded type ‌: The magnetic steel is evenly embedded inside the rotor core, and the magnetic sheet is usually inserted through a specific slot. This method is more common in rotor products such as power tools because it can provide stable magnetic field distribution and high mechanical strength.

‌2. Surface mount type ‌: The magnetic steel is evenly or regularly distributed on the surface or inner surface of the rotor core. This method is often used in electric vehicle rotors because electric vehicles require higher power density and torque output, and surface mount magnetic steel can better meet this demand. However, this method has a large number of magnetic steel sheets, which is difficult to load, and requires accurate processes and equipment to ensure assembly quality.

‌3. Special-shaped magnets‌: The magnets have complex shapes, such as V-shaped, double V-shaped, and two-shaped. These special-shaped magnets can provide special magnetic field distribution to meet the needs of specific applications. However, magnet insertion is difficult and requires specially designed equipment and processes to ensure accurate insertion and fixation of the magnets.

‌2. Brushless motor rotor assembly process‌

The assembly process of brushless motor rotors usually includes the following steps:

‌1. Automatic rotor loading‌: Automatically convey the rotor assembly to the production line. This step can greatly improve production efficiency and reduce manual intervention.

‌2. Automatic glue dispensing‌: Apply glue between the magnet and the rotor core to enhance the fixing effect. The uniformity and accuracy of glue dispensing are critical to the performance of the rotor.

‌3. Automatic magnet insertion‌: Insert the magnet into the rotor core according to the predetermined position and polarity. This step requires high-precision equipment and processes to ensure accurate insertion and correct polarity of the magnet.

‌4. Automatic shaft pressing, balance block pressing, fan blade pressing, bearing pressing and other steps‌: complete the assembly of the rotor and other components. These steps can ensure the stability and reliability of the rotor during operation.

‌5. Automatic magnetic measurement test‌: detect the magnetic parameters of the rotor to ensure that they meet the requirements. This step can detect unqualified products in time and avoid waste in the subsequent production process.

‌6. Automatic rotor balance measurement‌: check the balance of the rotor to avoid vibration during operation. The balance directly affects the noise and life of the motor.

‌7. Automatic unloading‌: remove the finished rotor from the production line and prepare for subsequent quality inspection and packaging.

‌3. Test of automatic production line equipment‌

The automatic production line equipment for brushless motor rotor assembly faces many tests, mainly including the following aspects:

‌1. Equipment configuration and stability‌: Automatic production line equipment needs to be equipped with sophisticated racks, precision ball screws, guide rails, cylinders, motors, servo drives and other components to ensure stable operation of the equipment. At the same time, the various components of the equipment should be smoothly connected, simplify the production line design, and facilitate assembly and later maintenance.

‌2. Flexibility and scalability‌: With the continuous changes in market demand and the continuous introduction of new products, automatic production line equipment needs to have strong flexibility and scalability. The equipment should be able to quickly change molds and product types to meet the assembly requirements of rotors of different specifications and models.

‌3. Real-time monitoring and feedback‌: Automatic production line equipment should have real-time monitoring functions to monitor each process in real time to ensure product quality. Unqualified products should be able to provide real-time feedback so that production parameters and processes can be adjusted in time to avoid further influx of unqualified products.

‌4. High accuracy and high efficiency‌: The assembly of brushless motor rotors requires high accuracy and efficiency of the equipment. The equipment needs to have high accuracy to ensure the accurate insertion of the magnet and the balance of the rotor. At the same time, the equipment also needs to have high efficiency to meet the needs of large-scale production and reduce production costs.

In summary, there are various ways to assemble brushless motor rotors, and automatic production line equipment needs to cope with many challenges. By rationally configuring equipment, optimizing production line design, strengthening real-time monitoring and feedback, and improving accuracy and efficiency, the quality and efficiency of brushless motor rotor assembly can be ensured to meet market demand and customer expectations.
