Universal end effector for robot for brake pad hot press feeding and discharging and time sequence control method

Abstract

The invention discloses a universal end effector for a robot for brake pad hot press feeding and discharging and a time sequence control method. The universal end effector comprises a supporting frame. A friction material feeding and discharging mechanism, a floating material feeding and discharging mechanism and a taking and placing mechanism are arranged on the supporting frame in the circumferential direction, and friction material feeding and discharging, floating material feeding and discharging and steel backing or pressed brake pad taking and placing are achieved. A plurality of feeding and discharging positions are provided in the friction material feeding and discharging mechanism and the floating material feeding and discharging mechanism, feeding is conducted one by one, and discharging is conducted at a time. Magnetic suction cups are provided in the taking and placing mechanism, wherein the number of the magnetic suction cups is equal to the number of the feeding and discharging positions of the feeding and discharging mechanisms, and a plurality of steel backings can be punched in a punch at the same time. According to the set time sequence, friction material feeding, floating material feeding, steel backing adsorption, friction material discharging, floating material discharging, steel backing placing, punching, brake pad adsorption and brake pad placing are sequentially connected. The universal end effector has the beneficial effects that through reasonable design, certain product expandability is taken into due consideration, the effect of automatic hot press procedure finishing is achieved, and the universal end effector has the beneficial effects of being high in success rate and low in cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of industrial automation, and relates to the application of industrial robots, in particular to a robot universal end effector device for hot pressing and loading and unloading of brake pads. Background technique [0002] Due to the rapid development of the automobile industry, the demand for brake pads has also increased suddenly, and the automobile industry is related to personal safety, and the quality requirements for parts are gradually increasing. The hot pressing process in the production process of brake pads is a crucial process in the production of brake pads. This process directly affects the quality of the product. Hot pressing refers to pressing the friction material and the steel back tightly together by using a certain mold at a certain temperature and time. [0003] In recent years, with the widespread application of industrial robots in the field of automation, industrial robots have been introduced ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

However, the hot pressing process has not yet completed the transformation from manual to automatic. At present, major domestic brake pad manufacturers still use manual operation in this process.

However, the on-site operating environment is very harsh, because the friction material is dusty, and there is a certain degree of dust pollution; at the same time, the stamping machine is a high-temperature pressing equipment, and manual operation has potential safety hazards

Moreover, during manual production, the product quality is greatly affected by manual operation, which may cause uneven quality of the same batch of products
