[0002] New energy vehicles refer to vehicles that use unconventional automotive fuels as a power source and integrate advanced technologies in vehicle power control and drive to form advanced technical principles, new technologies, and new structures. In recent years, China's new energy vehicle industry has developed rapidly, not only occupying an important position in the domestic market, but also emerging on the international stage. With the development of the new energy vehicle industry, automobile manufacturers have an increasing demand for automation professionals. However, the current training of automation professionals lacks relevant new energy vehicle training equipment, resulting in students' weak actual operation level. After entering the factory, they still need a long period of training to be competent for the job.
[0003] In order to help students fully understand the operating principles of new energy vehicle assembly, improve their hands-on ability, and have a preliminary understanding of advanced manufacturing technologies such as intelligent manufacturing technology and digital twin technology, application programming, intelligent sensing, intelligent detection, machine learning, industrial Internet, and intelligent management and control, some vocational colleges have introduced new energy vehicle manufacturing as a teaching object in the mechanical major. New energy vehicle production lines are very different from traditional vehicle production lines. In addition to the need to produce various parts required for traditional vehicles, it is also necessary to produce core components of new energy vehicles such as battery management systems, electric motors, and electronic control systems. The design structure of the industrial new energy vehicle assembly line is complex, the purchase cost is high, and the site area is huge, which obviously exceeds the affordability of colleges and universities. Moreover, in the prior art, no relevant technical content on the practical training of new energy model vehicle assembly lines in colleges and universities has been retrieved. Therefore, technical personnel are urgently needed to solve the above problems Summary of the invention
[0004] Therefore, in view of the above-mentioned existing problems and defects, the designers of the present invention collected relevant information, conducted multiple evaluations and considerations, and continued to experiment and modify the method after many years of R&D experience in this industry, which ultimately led to the emergence of a whole vehicle assembly method for new energy model vehicles for practical training in colleges and universities.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0052] In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "left", "right", "up", "down", "front", "back", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific direction, be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0053] In the practical teaching of students, with the help of the practical training of new energy model car assembly lines in colleges and universities, the number of parts and assemblies is continuously increased and they are combined with each other in an orderly manner to become new energy model car complete vehicles.
[0054] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments. Figure 2 The schematic diagram of the workshop layout of the whole vehicle assembly line of the new energy model vehicle for practical training in colleges and universities disclosed in the present invention is shown. It can be seen that it is mainly composed of a machining unit 1, a blank warehouse 2, a scrap warehouse 3, a component warehouse 4, a wheel assembly unit 5, a chassis assembly unit 6, a body assembly unit 7, a door assembly unit 8, a packaging unit 9 and a finished product delivery unit 10. And the machining unit 1, the wheel assembly unit 5, the chassis assembly unit 6, the body assembly unit 7, the door assembly unit 8, the packaging unit 9 and the finished product delivery unit 10 are arranged in an I-type layout according to the process sequence. The component warehouse 4 and the scrap warehouse 3 are arranged in the vacant area between the machining unit 1 and the wheel assembly unit 5, and the two are placed adjacent to each other. The blank warehouse 2 is arranged in the adjacent area of the machining unit 1. In this way, in the students' practical training teaching, the functional units are organically combined and follow the principle of centralized placement of related processes. The transportation distance of materials required for assembling new energy model cars is reduced as much as possible, which is conducive to reducing the intersection in the material flow process. More importantly, it is better adapted to the small-batch production needs in the practical training course design, and the training site is maximized.

[0069] In practical applications, the whole vehicle assembly method of the new energy model vehicle for practical training in colleges and universities disclosed in the present invention can achieve at least the following beneficial technical effects, specifically:
[0070] 1) The whole vehicle assembly line for new energy model vehicles for practical training in colleges and universities includes machining unit 1, wheel assembly unit 5, chassis assembly unit 6, body assembly unit 7, door assembly unit 8, packaging unit 9 and finished product delivery unit 10. It adopts mainstream equipment and tooling of industrial standards, simulates the industrialized on-site environment, takes new energy model vehicles as the simulated assembly object, and builds a high-precision, high-reliability and high-security intelligent manufacturing teaching and application platform that can be connected with enterprise-level production;
[0071] 2) Considering the need to meet the site area of colleges and universities and reduce the procurement cost of the entire line, and for the convenience of teaching and students' practical operation, the machining unit 1, wheel assembly unit 5, chassis assembly unit 6, body assembly unit 7, door assembly unit 8, packaging unit 9 and finished product delivery unit 10 are all modularly designed, and each assembly unit is relatively independent and interrelated, which can simulate the actual production situation, so that students can gradually learn, understand and master the production process and equipment operation principle of new energy vehicles;
[0072] 3) Taking into account the need to meet the site area of colleges and universities and reduce the procurement cost of the whole line, the functional units of the whole vehicle assembly line for practical training of new energy model vehicles in large colleges and universities are highly configurable and can be flexibly adjusted according to the models and specifications of new energy model vehicles to meet different course contents and teaching objectives.
[0073] Here, it is also necessary to explain that by participating in the practical training of new energy model car assembly lines in colleges and universities, students can become familiar with the basic principles, technical characteristics and application methods of industrial new energy vehicle assembly lines through practical operations. Furthermore, thanks to the modular design understanding of each functional unit, students can also participate in the practical training of new energy model car assembly lines to various links such as construction, debugging, operation and maintenance.
[0074] Taking the wheel assembly unit 5 as an example, in actual implementation, the main plate 551 and the tool plate 552 attached to the tool quick-change device 55 are difficult to lock in one go, and even need to be locked repeatedly multiple times. Each time the industrial robots (including the left-mounted wheel assembly robot 51 and the right-mounted wheel assembly robot 54) need to be realigned, which is time-consuming. The reason is that the execution tool 56 lacks effective positioning measures. When performing a quick-change operation, the execution tool 56 is prone to position changes or posture tilts due to the contact force from the main plate 551. In view of this, as a further optimization of the design structure of the above-mentioned wheel assembly unit 5, such as Figure 6 , 7As shown in the figure, the shelving tool 57 is mainly composed of a base plate 571, a support unit 572, a support plate 573 and a positioning unit 574. The support plate 573 is arranged in parallel just above the base plate 571 and is separated by a set distance. The support unit 572 serves as a connection transition between the base plate 571 and the support plate 573. The support plate 573 is formed with a plurality of avoidance notches 5731 that are conducive to supporting the execution tool. The positioning unit 574 is used to match the execution tool 56, and with its auxiliary action, the plane degree of freedom of the execution tool 56 can be limited to zero. By adopting the above-mentioned technical solution, various execution tools 56 with different functions are temporarily placed on the placing tooling 57, and are effectively positioned with the help of the positioning unit 574. In this way, during the quick-change operation of the execution tool 56, even if it is affected by external force, the translational movement freedom along the left and right directions, the translational movement freedom along the front and back directions, and the rotational movement freedom along the height direction of the execution tool 56 are all restricted to zero, ensuring that the main disk 551 and the tool disk 552 are locked at one time, and the execution tool can be firmly connected to the forearms of the left-mounted wheel assembly robot 51 and the right-mounted wheel assembly robot 54 without repeated operations. The total time consumed for quick-change execution of the execution tool 56 can be effectively shortened.
[0075] Here, it should also be emphasized that, unlike the traditional suspension method, in the technical solution disclosed in this embodiment, a variety of execution tools 56 with different functions are placed on the placement tool 57 in a supporting posture, and the operation of placing the execution tool 56 is more time-saving and labor-saving. After the placement, the execution tool 56 has good posture stability and can effectively avoid the occurrence of accidental collisions, which is conducive to the forearms of the left-mounted wheel assembly robot 51 and the right-mounted wheel assembly robot 54 to approach the quick-change work position more smoothly.
[0076] Furthermore, combined with Figure 5 , 6 , 7, and 8 clearly show that the positioning unit 574 is mainly composed of several parts, such as the gripper connecting plate 5741, the first cylindrical pin 5742, and the second cylindrical pin 5743. Among them, the gripper connecting plate 5741 serves as a connection transition between the tool plate 552 and the execution tool 56, the top wall serves as the assembly base of the tool plate 552, and the bottom wall serves as the assembly base of the execution tool 56. The first cylindrical pin 5742 and the second cylindrical pin 5743 are both vertically inserted on the supporting plate 573 and are spaced a set distance apart. The first cylindrical pin 5742 and the second cylindrical pin 5743 cooperate to limit the planar freedom of the gripper connecting plate 5741. As shown in FIG. Fig. 9As shown in the figure, the gripper connecting plate 5741 is composed of a plate body 57411, a left gripper 57412, a right gripper 57413, a front gripper 57414 and a rear gripper 57415. The left gripper 57412, the right gripper 57413, the front gripper 57414 and the rear gripper 57415 are formed by the outer wall of the plate body 57411 extending in four directions. An oblong positioning hole 574141 matching the first cylindrical pin 5742 is formed on the front gripper 57414. A circular positioning hole 574151 matching the second cylindrical pin 5743 is formed on the rear gripper 57415. In practical applications, the first cylindrical pin 5742 and the second cylindrical pin 5743 cooperate to limit the planar freedom of the gripper connecting plate 5741, thereby ensuring the positioning accuracy and avoiding the occurrence of over-positioning.
[0077] like Fig.14 As shown in the figure, the right-placed packaging robot 94 is arranged behind the finished product packaging conveyor line 91, and it has the functions of grabbing the packaging box, grabbing the whole new energy model car, and sealing the packaging box. The whole new energy model car conveyor line 92, the packaging box supply device 95, and the packaging operation platform 96 are all covered by the motion range of the right-placed packaging robot 94. The left-placed packaging robot 93 is arranged in front of the finished product packaging conveyor line 91, and with its assistance, the semi-finished new energy model car packaging completed through the packaging operation platform 96 is sequentially transferred to the strapping machine 97 and the labeling machine 98 to form the finished new energy model car packaging, and then continue to flow to the finished product packaging conveyor line 91. Through the combination of on-site observation and actual operation, students can fully grasp the overall operating principle of the whole new energy model car packaging line, and it is beneficial for them to understand the specific operation mode of industrial robots, strapping machines, labeling machines and other equipment. Furthermore, through reasonable layout and planning of the finished packaging product conveyor line 91, the new energy model vehicle conveyor line 92, the left packaging robot 93, the right packaging robot 94, the packaging box supply device 95, the packaging operation platform 96, the strapping machine 97, and the labeling machine 98, the circulation path of the new energy vehicle model and the circulation path of the packaging box are optimized, and the total length of the movement trajectory of the left packaging robot 93 and the right packaging robot 94 in the single-piece packaging operation process is shortened.
[0078] like Fig.15As shown in the figure, the packaging box supply device 95 is mainly composed of a bearing platform 951, a packaging box storage box 952, a support frame 953, a packaging box limiting unit 954 and a packaging box pushing unit 955. The support frame 953 is detachable to achieve fixation with the bearing platform 951. The packaging box storage box 952 is accumulated and fixed on the support frame 953. The packaging box storage box 952 has an upper opening and a lower opening at the same time. The multi-layer stacked packaging boxes are placed in the packaging box storage box 952 through the upper opening, and continue to fall through the lower opening until they fall on the bearing platform 951. The packaging box pushing unit 955 and the packaging box limiting unit 954 are both installed on the bearing platform 951, and are arranged directly behind and directly in front of the support frame 953 respectively. The packaging box at the bottom layer moves out of the support frame 953 due to the push force from the packaging box push unit 955, and continues to move horizontally until its relative position is determined by the packaging box limit unit 954. Fig.19 As shown in , the carrying platform 951 is composed of a support frame 9511 and a carrying panel 9512. By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, under the premise that the packaging box storage box 952 stores packaging boxes, each time the packaging box pushing unit 955 performs a pushing action, a single packaging box is removed from the packaging box storage box 952, and accurately stops with the assistance of the packaging box limiting unit 954, which is conducive to the left packaging robot 93 and the right packaging robot 94 to smoothly and quickly perform the grasping operation on it; on the other hand, the traditional belt conveyor supplying packaging box method is abandoned, and the packaging boxes are accumulated in batches in the packaging box storage box 952. In addition, the packaging box supply device 95 is designed to be small in size, which is conducive to saving the floor space of the workshop.
[0079] like Figure 16-19 As shown in , the packaging box ejection unit 955 is mainly composed of several parts such as a linear motion element 9551, a sheet metal transmission member 9552, an ejection plate 9553 and a guide assembly 9554. The ejection plate 9553 is placed flat on the bearing panel 9512, and with the assistance of the guide assembly 9554, it performs displacement movement in a directional manner along the front and rear directions, so that the packaging box can be accurately pushed. The linear motion element 9551 uses the bottom wall of the bearing panel 9512 as the installation base, and it uses the sheet metal transmission member 9552 to transmit the driving force to the ejection plate 9553. The bearing panel 9512 is provided with an avoidance notch 95121 for the sheet metal transmission member 9552 to freely perform translational movement. In actual application, the packaging boxes are accumulated in batches in the packaging box storage box 952. When packaging boxes need to be supplied to the outside, the linear motion element 9551 is started to drive the push-up plate 9553 to perform a displacement movement toward the bottommost packaging box. The bottommost packaging box goes out of the support frame 953 due to the push-up force and stops precisely with the assistance of the packaging box limit unit 954.
[0080] Also by the attached Fig.19 It can also be clearly known that the guide assembly 9554 is composed of a left guide member 95541 and a right guide member 95542 detachably fixed on the bearing panel 9512. The left guide member 95541 and the right guide member 95542 are both made of self-lubricating engineering plastics. The left and right side walls of the push-up plate 9553 are in contact with the left guide member 95541 and the right guide member 95542 respectively. In actual application, the cooperative guidance of the left guide member 95541 and the right guide member 95542 allows the push-up plate 9553 to perform translational motion in a directional manner due to the thrust. In addition, the left guide member 95541 and the right guide member 95542 both have good self-lubricating properties, and no obvious friction heat is generated during the friction movement, and it is beneficial to reduce the translational resistance of the push-up plate 9553.

Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to one skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention.
