A flexible tooling for the assembly of row-column suction cup wall panels

Abstract

A flexible tool for assembling a row-line chuck type wall board comprises a guide rail base, an X-direction driving unit and an upright post shape-adjusting assembly unit, wherein the guide rail base is fixedly connected to the ground; the upright post shape-adjusting assembly unit is arranged on two X-direction linear guide rails of the guide rail base and can move along the X-direction linear guide rails; and the X-direction driving unit is positioned between the bottom of the upright post shape-adjusting assembly unit and the guide rail base, is fixedly connected with the guide rail base and is connected with the bottom of the upright post shape-adjusting assembly unit. According to the flexible tool disclosed by the invention, aircraft panel assemblies are adsorbed, clamped and digitally positioned by a dot matrix vacuum chuck and stability and reliability in clamping and positioning and high positioning precision are obtained; and the digitalized positioning and drilling and riveting assembly of different wall board assemblies can be realized by reconfiguration through the dot matrix chuck of the tool. The flexible tool has higher practical value and broad application prospect in the fields of mechanical engineering / aircraft assembly.

Description

Technical field: [0001] The invention relates to a flexible tooling for assembling row-column sucker-type wallboards, which belongs to the field of mechanical engineering / aircraft assembly. Background technique: [0002] Panel components are the main structural parts constituting the aerodynamic shape of the aircraft. They are numerous in number, complex in shape, and weak in rigidity. The assembly process mainly includes positioning, clamping, hole making, connection and so on. The assembly accuracy of the panel assembly directly affects the assembly quality of the subsequent fuselage, wing components and final assembly, and is the basis for ensuring the assembly accuracy of the aircraft. [0003] At present, the domestic aviation industry still adopts the traditional rigid tooling in the form of "one aircraft, one use" in the assembly of panel components, which has a low degree of modularization, poor reconfigurability, and lack of versatility. A set of assembly jigs has...
