[0040] like Figures 1 to 10 As shown, a shell screwing section of a disinfection cabinet production line includes:
[0041] A conveyor line 1, wherein a tooling plate 11 is provided on the conveyor line 1;
[0042] A workpiece limiting device 2, which is arranged on the conveyor line 1 and is used to limit the workpiece on the tooling plate 11;
[0043] An automatic screw driving robot 3, which is arranged at one side of the conveyor line 1 and is used for driving screws on the workpiece;
[0044] The screw conveying mechanism 4 is arranged at one side of the automatic screw driving robot 3 and is used for conveying screws to the automatic screw driving robot 3 .
[0045] The conveyor line 1 is a carrying device for the workpiece to move on the production line, which can be specifically transmitted by rollers; a tooling plate 11 is arranged on the conveyor line 1, and the tooling plate 11 is used to carry the workpiece and drive the workpiece to be transmitted on the conveyor line 1. The workpiece limiting device 2 is arranged on the conveyor line 1 and is located at the side of the conveyor line 1; the automatic screw driving robot 3 is arranged on one side of the conveyor line 1 and is located on both sides of the conveyor line 1 with the workpiece limiting device 2; the workpiece limiting device 2 and the automatic screw driving robot 3 are arranged opposite to each other, and when the tooling plate 11 carrying the workpiece moves to a position between the two, the workpiece limiting device 2 limits and fixes the workpiece, and the automatic screw driving robot 3 drives screws into the position where the workpiece needs to be connected by screws; a screw conveying mechanism 4 is arranged on one side of the automatic screw driving robot 3, and the screw conveying mechanism 4 is used to continuously convey screws to the automatic screw driving robot 3, so that the automatic screw driving robot 3 can screw screws into the threaded holes of the workpiece.
[0046] The conveyor line 1 can adopt a double-speed chain conveyor line, which is mainly used for material transportation in assembly and processing production lines. Its conveying principle is to use the speed-increasing function of the double-speed chain to make the tooling board supporting the goods on it run quickly and stop at the corresponding operating position through the blocker; or complete the accumulation action and the functions of shifting, shifting, and changing lines through corresponding instructions. Therefore, the tooling board 11 on the conveyor line 1 can be accurately moved to a specific position. The double-speed chain conveyor line has a large conveying capacity, can carry a large load, and has an accurate and stable conveying speed, which can ensure accurate synchronous conveying.
[0047] The number of automatic screw driving robots 3 can be multiple, and each automatic screw driving robot 3 can be provided with a corresponding screw conveying mechanism 4, so the number of screw conveying mechanisms 4 can also be multiple, and the number is the same as the number of automatic screw driving robots 3. In general, multiple faces of a workpiece need to be fixed with screws, and multiple screws need to be screwed into each face, so a workpiece needs to be screwed into multiple screws; and multiple automatic screw driving robots 3 are provided, and screws can be driven into different faces and different positions of the workpiece synchronously, thereby improving production efficiency in turn. For example, when the screw driving section is applied to the production line of a disinfection cabinet and is used to fix the U-shaped shell on the shell, the previous process can cover the U-shaped shell on the shell by manual or mechanical hands, wherein the three faces corresponding to the U-shaped shell and the shell are provided with corresponding threaded holes; then the U-shaped shell and the shell are moved to the corresponding position of the workpiece limiting mechanism under the action of the conveyor line 1, and the automatic screw driving robot 3 screws into the threaded holes on the three faces of the U-shaped shell; when multiple automatic screw driving robots 3 are provided, multiple automatic screw driving robots 3 can simultaneously screw into the threaded holes on the three faces of the U-shaped shell. Of course, in order to reduce costs and avoid the need for the automatic screw-driving robots 3 to avoid each other, preferably, the number of the automatic screw-driving robots 3 is set to two, which can both improve production efficiency and avoid excessive costs.
[0048] In the production process of disinfection cabinets, it generally includes a process of fixing the U-shaped shell on the disinfection cabinet shell, and the connection and fixation between the two is usually tightened with screws. In the existing disinfection cabinet production line, the U-shaped shell is fixed on the disinfection cabinet shell and is usually screwed manually. This method has low work efficiency, high labor cost, and it is difficult to control the product quality manually. In this technical solution, the flow of workpieces is responsible for the conveyor line 1, which reduces the cost of manual transportation of workpieces and has higher workpiece flow efficiency; the automatic screwing robot 3 can automatically screw the workpiece, and the supply of screws is responsible for the screw conveying mechanism 4, so the entire screwing process does not require manual participation, which not only saves labor costs, but also greatly improves production efficiency, and the quality of the products produced is stable and reliable; the workpiece limiting device 2 set on the conveyor line 1 can position and limit the workpiece, so that the workpiece can be stably carried on the tooling plate 11 when screwing, and avoid shaking, thereby ensuring the efficiency and accuracy of screwing, making the product quality more stable.
[0049] Furthermore, the workpiece limiting device 2 includes a limiting frame 21 and an X-axis limiting mechanism 22, and the limiting frame 21 is installed on the conveyor line 1; the X-axis limiting mechanism 22 includes an X-axis limiting plate 221 and an X-axis limiting cylinder 222, and the X-axis limiting cylinder 222 is installed on the limiting frame 21, and the X-axis limiting plate 221 is installed on the output end of the X-axis limiting cylinder 222.
[0050] The limit frame 21 is installed on the conveyor line 1 and protrudes above the conveyor line 1; the X-limit mechanism is installed on the limit frame 21 and is located above the conveyor line 1; the X-axis limit cylinder 222 is installed on the limit frame 21, and the output end of the X-axis limit cylinder 222 faces the side where the conveyor line 1 is located, and the X-axis limit plate 221 is installed on the output end of the X-axis limit cylinder 222, so when the output end of the X-axis limit cylinder 222 is extended, the X-axis limit plate 221 can be close to the workpiece on the conveyor line 1. The direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor line 1 on the positioning horizontal plane is the X-axis direction, so the X-axis limit mechanism 22 can limit the workpiece in the X-axis direction. When the automatic screw driving robot 3 screws the side of the workpiece away from the workpiece limit device 2, the workpiece will be subjected to the thrust of the automatic screw driving robot 3 driving the workpiece close to the workpiece limit device 2. At this time, the X-axis limit cylinder 222 is extended, which can offset the thrust and prevent the workpiece from shaking or even falling off the tooling plate 11. The X-axis limiting mechanism 22 can be provided to limit the workpiece in the X-axis direction when the automatic screw driving robot 3 is working, so as to avoid the workpiece from shaking, ensure the normal operation, and confirm the quality of the product.
[0051] Preferably, the number of the X-axis limiting mechanisms 22 can be set to be multiple and arranged along the vertical direction of the limiting frame 21. For example, two X-axis limiting mechanisms 22 are provided and arranged vertically corresponding to each other on the limiting frame 21. When the height of the workpiece is relatively high, setting two or more X-axis limiting mechanisms 22 can further ensure that the workpiece is not prone to shaking and falling during the processing.
[0052] Further, a first clamping block 2211 and a second clamping block 2212 are arranged on one side of the X-axis limiting plate close to the workpiece, and a gap for accommodating the workpiece is left between the first clamping block 2211 and the second clamping block 2212.
[0053] The X-axis limiting plate is a long strip-shaped plate member, and its length is greater than the width of the workpiece in the Y-axis direction; a first clamping block 2211 and a second clamping block 2212 are arranged on one side of the X-axis limiting plate close to the workpiece, and the first clamping block 2211 and the second clamping block 2212 are close to both ends of the X-axis limiting plate; the gap between the first clamping block 2211 and the second clamping block 2212 is greater than the width of the workpiece in the Y-axis direction. When the X-axis limiting plate abuts against the back surface of the workpiece, the opposite planes of the first clamping block 2211 and the second clamping block 2212 respectively abut against the left side surface and the right side surface of the workpiece, that is, the X-axis limiting plate, the first clamping block 2211 and the second clamping block 2212 are approximately in a "冂" shape to clamp the workpiece. Such a setting of the X-axis limiting plate can not only limit the workpiece in the X-axis direction but also limit the workpiece in the Y-axis direction, increasing the stability of the workpiece.
[0054] Further, the workpiece limiting device 2 further includes a Y-axis limiting mechanism 23 installed on the limiting frame 21; the Y-axis limiting mechanism 23 includes a first Y-axis limiting air cylinder 231, a first limiting block 232, a second Y-axis limiting air cylinder 233 and a second limiting block 234; the first limiting block 232 and the second limiting block 234 are respectively installed at the output ends of the first Y-axis limiting air cylinder 231 and the second limiting air cylinder; the first Y-axis limiting air cylinder 231 and the second Y-axis limiting air cylinder 233 are arranged at intervals so that the workpiece can be accommodated between the first limiting block 232 and the second limiting block 234.
[0055] The first Y-axis limit cylinder 231 and the second Y-axis limit cylinder 233 are both installed on the limit frame 21. In the initial state, the horizontal height of the two is greater than the horizontal height of the workpiece; the extension direction of the output ends of the first Y-axis limit cylinder 231 and the second Y-axis limit cylinder 233 is the vertical direction, that is, when the output ends of the two extend, the first limit block 232 and the second limit block 234 move from top to bottom and gradually approach the workpiece. The first Y-axis limit cylinder 231 and the second Y-axis limit cylinder 233 are arranged at intervals, so there is a gap between the first limit block 232 and the second limit block 234, and the workpiece can be located in the gap. When the workpiece moves to the corresponding position of the workpiece limiting device 2, the output end of the first Y-axis limit cylinder 231 and the output end of the second Y-axis limit cylinder 233 extend, so that the first limit block 232 and the second limit block 234 drop a certain distance to limit the workpiece. The conveying direction of the conveyor line 1 is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the first Y-axis limit cylinder 231 and the second Y-axis limit cylinder 233 are arranged along the Y-axis direction. When the automatic screw driving robot 3 drives screws on the side of the workpiece in the Y-axis direction, there will be a thrust on the workpiece, and the Y-axis limit mechanism 23 can offset the thrust. Setting the Y-axis limit mechanism 23 can limit the workpiece in the Y-axis direction when the automatic screw driving robot 3 is working, avoid the workpiece from shaking, ensure the normal operation, and confirm the quality of the product.
[0056] Furthermore, the Y-axis limiting mechanism 23 is arranged at the upper end of the limiting frame 21, and the first limiting block 232 includes a horizontal portion 2321 for abutting against the top surface of the workpiece and a vertical portion 2322 for abutting against the side surface of the workpiece.
[0057] The first limit block 232 is composed of a horizontal portion 2321 and a vertical portion 2322 that are perpendicular to each other, that is, the shape of the first limit block 232 is similar to an L shape; when the first limit block 232 limits the workpiece, the horizontal portion 2321 abuts against the top surface of the workpiece, and the vertical portion 2322 abuts against the side surface of the workpiece; the shape of the second limit block 234 is the same as that of the first limit block 232. When the first limit block 232 and the second limit block 234 limit the workpiece, specifically, the horizontal portion 2321 of the first limit block 232 and the second limit block 234 abuts against the top surface of the workpiece, and the vertical portions 2322 of the first limit block 232 and the second limit block 234 abut against two opposite side surfaces of the workpiece respectively. The shapes of the first limit block 232 and the second limit block 234 can not only enable the Y-axis limit mechanism 23 to limit the workpiece in the Y-axis direction, but also limit the workpiece in the Z-axis direction. The combined effect of the X-axis limiting mechanism 22 and the Y-axis limiting mechanism 23 enables the workpiece to be stably supported on the tooling plate 11 during the screw driving process, and will not easily shake in any direction.
[0058] The horizontal part is installed on the output end of the first Y-axis limit cylinder. The horizontal part has a receiving groove 23211 on a plane close to the workpiece. The receiving groove 23211 is used to accommodate a connecting piece connecting the horizontal part and the output end of the first Y-axis limit cylinder.
[0059] The first limit block is installed on the output end of the first Y-axis limit cylinder through a connecting piece (not shown in the figure), and specifically, the horizontal part is connected to the output end of the first Y-axis limit cylinder. In order to make the surface of the horizontal part in contact with the workpiece sufficiently flat, a receiving groove 23211 for accommodating the connecting piece is provided on the plane of the horizontal part close to the workpiece, and the connecting piece is located in the receiving groove 23211 and does not contact the workpiece, or the connecting piece is flush with the surface of the horizontal part and contacts the workpiece together.
[0060] The second limit block has the same structure as the first limit block, which will not be described in detail here.
[0061] Furthermore, a top extension rod 211 extending toward the side where the workpiece is located is detachably provided at the upper end of the limiting frame 21 , and the Y-axis limiting mechanism 23 is provided on the top extension rod 211 .
[0062] The limit frame 21 is perpendicular to the conveying plane of the conveyor line 1, and the top extension rod 211 is perpendicular to the limit frame 21, so the top extension rod 211 is parallel to the conveying plane of the conveyor line 1 and is located directly above the conveying plane. There are two top extension rods 211, which are parallel to each other and at the same horizontal height; the first Y-axis limit cylinder 231 and the second Y-axis limit cylinder 233 are respectively installed on different top extension rods 211, and are close to the end of the top extension rod 211 away from the limit frame 21. This arrangement allows the Y-axis limit mechanism 23 to be closer to the middle of the workpiece, so when the Y-axis limit mechanism 23 limits the workpiece, the force is more balanced and the workpiece is more stable.
[0063] Furthermore, the automatic screw-driving robot 3 includes a six-axis manipulator 31 capable of six-axis linkage and an automatic screw-driving machine 32 installed on the six-axis manipulator 31 .
[0064] The six-axis manipulator 31 can be linked with six axes to simulate the movements of each joint of the human hand; the first axis is the part connected to the base, which mainly bears the weight of the upper axis and the left and right rotation of the base. A left and right rotation movement is the result of using the motor 325 and the reducer transmission; the second axis controls the forward and backward swing of the main arm of the manipulator and the up and down movement of the entire main arm; the third axis also controls the forward and backward swing function of the manipulator, but the swing arm range is smaller than that of the second axis; the fourth axis controls the free rotation of the circular tube on the manipulator, and the range of movement is equivalent to that of a human forearm, but it is not 360° rotation. There are wires inside that have the same range as that of a human forearm; the fifth axis controls the fine-tuning up and down flipping action, which is usually an action that can flip the product after the product is grasped; the sixth axis is the rotation function of the end flange, which can rotate 360°. The automatic screw driver 32 is installed on the six-axis manipulator 31, specifically on the flange at the end of the sixth axis. The six-axis manipulator 31 allows the automatic screw driver 32 to freely perform screwing operations on various surfaces of the workpiece.
[0065] Furthermore, the automatic screw driver 32 includes a connecting seat 321, a guide rail 322, a slider 323, a driving cylinder 324, a motor 325 and a screw gun 326. The connecting seat 321 is installed on the six-axis manipulator 31, the guide rail 322 is installed on the connecting seat 321, the slider 323 is slidably installed on the guide rail 322 and is connected to the output end of the driving cylinder 324, the motor 325 is installed on the slider 323, and the screw gun 326 is installed at the output end of the motor 325.
[0066] The connection seat 321 is installed on the six-axis machine, the guide rail 322 is installed on the connection seat 321, and the length direction of the guide rail 322 is the direction in which the screw gun 326 approaches or moves away from the workpiece processing surface when the screw gun 326 is perpendicular to the workpiece processing surface; the slider 323 is slidably installed on the slide rail, the driving cylinder 324 is installed on the connection seat 321, and the slider 323 is also connected to the output end of the driving cylinder 324, so that when the output end of the driving cylinder 324 is extended or contracted, the slider 323 can be driven to slide on the guide rail 322. The motor 325 is installed on the slider 323, and the screw gun 326 is installed at the output end of the motor 325. The motor 325 can drive the screw gun 326 to rotate to tighten the screw. The screw conveying mechanism 4 specifically conveys the screws to the screw gun 326. When the six-axis manipulator 31 works to direct the screw gun 326 toward the threaded hole, the output end of the driving cylinder 324 extends, driving the slider 323 to move, thereby making the screw gun 326 close to the threaded hole; the motor 325 is started synchronously, thereby causing the screw rod to rotate around its axis, thereby screwing the screw provided by the screw conveying mechanism 4 into the threaded hole. The setting of the automatic screw driving machine 32 makes screw driving fully automated, fast and stable.
[0067] Furthermore, the automatic screw driver 32 also includes a camera 237 and a light source 328 . The camera 237 is mounted on the connection base 321 and its shooting direction is toward the workpiece. The light source 328 is mounted on the connection base 321 and is located in front of the camera 237 .
[0068] The camera 237 is used to take pictures, and the light source 328 is used to emit light and illuminate the part to be photographed by the camera 237.
