Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of assembly machinery and equipment, and in particular to a method for using an assembly robot. Background Art

[0002] Usually, a long-distance pipeline is composed of multiple pipes spliced ​​together, and pipe docking is to dock the openings of two pipes to achieve laying of different lengths, so as to adjust the angle setting according to the laying path. The methods of pipe docking include welding and flange connection. After the two pipes are brought close together, they are docked to ensure that the center lines of the pipes are in the same straight line, and then the connection seams are welded or screwed. However, when some large-sized square pipes are docked with flanges at one end, their docking interfaces are oblique. For example, such pipes as air duct square pipes are connected by flanges combined with screws. When the oblique ends of the long pipe fittings and the short pipe fittings are connected, if the docking tool uses a lifting device to move the pipe fittings to adjust the angle and bring the two pipe fittings close to dock, this method is difficult to make the inclined surfaces of the two pipes fit tightly, and the screw holes on the flanges are difficult to align, and the docking difficulty is relatively high. Therefore, a method for using an assembly robot is designed to facilitate accurate and efficient docking of pipes. Summary of the invention

[0005] Use lifting equipment to lift one end of the vertical pipe fitting into the mobile positioning seat so that the end without the flange is stuck in the positioning groove to ensure that the vertical pipe fitting is in a vertical state, and then lift the horizontal pipe fitting and place it on the V-shaped support base so that the horizontal pipe fitting is inclined at a certain angle, and the pressure roller is placed in the higher end of the horizontal pipe fitting. The first pull rope pulls the pressure roller and is stuck in the ridge groove of the horizontal pipe fitting to maintain the inclined state of the horizontal pipe fitting. The winding wheel group rotates and reels to pull the second pull rope to pull the mobile positioning seat and the vertical pipe fitting toward the workbench. The flanges at the oblique mouths of the two pipe fittings will contact and drive the lever of the horizontal pipe fitting with the V-shaped support base as the fulcrum to tilt toward the horizontal, and the winding wheel group will pull down the pressure roller to assist in the winding process, so that the left end of the horizontal pipe fitting is compressed and the right end is lifted up. In this process, when the oblique flange fits tightly and the screw holes are aligned, the winding wheel group is stopped, and the bolts are aligned and inserted to be tightened.

[0006] Furthermore, the winding wheel group includes a motor, a first reel and a second reel, the output shaft of the motor is connected to the first reel, the first reel and the second reel are coaxially arranged; the first reel is connected to the first pull rope, and the second reel is connected to the second pull rope.

[0007] Furthermore, a yoke and an armature are installed in sequence at one end of the second reel, a first spring is connected between the armature and the yoke, a force transmission column is installed on the yoke, and the force transmission column is inserted into the armature and is slidably connected thereto; an engaging toothed disk is installed on one end face of the first reel, and a toothed disk surface matching the engaging toothed disk is provided on the side of the armature facing the first reel.

[0008] Furthermore, the diameter of the second reel is greater than the diameter of the first reel.

[0009] Furthermore, a support plate is provided on the workbench, a slide plate is connected to one end of the pressure roller, the slide plate is slidably connected to the support plate, the first pull rope is connected to the slide plate; and a second spring is connected to the back side of the slide plate.

[0012] Furthermore, a plurality of balls are embedded and installed on the pressure roller.

[0013] Furthermore, the positioning notch is a square hole structure.

[0014] Furthermore, a non-slip rubber pad is provided on the surface of the V-shaped support base.

[0015] The technical solution of the present invention has at least the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0016] 1. Move the flange bevel of the vertical pipe fitting toward the flange bevel of the horizontal pipe fitting to push it to a horizontal fit state, which has higher fitting accuracy and is tighter, and the flange hole overlap is higher;

[0017] 2.

Figure 1-Figure 8 As shown, this embodiment is a method for using an assembly robot, comprising a workbench 1 and a mobile positioning seat 2, the mobile positioning seat 2 is provided with a positioning notch 21 for placing a vertical pipe fitting, and a lifting mechanism 3 for lifting a horizontal pipe fitting is installed on the workbench 1; the lifting mechanism 3 comprises a V-shaped supporting base 31, a bottom plate 32 and a hydraulic cylinder 33, the bottom of the V-shaped supporting base 31 is hinged to the bottom plate 32, and the hydraulic cylinder 33 is arranged at the lower end of the bottom plate 32; a pressing roller 4 is inserted into one end of the horizontal pipe fitting, and one end of the pressing roller 4 is connected to the first A pull rope 5 is used to pull the pressure roller 4 down through the first pull rope 5 to drive the horizontal pipe to tilt to the horizontal position; the front end of the mobile positioning seat 2 is connected to the second pull rope 6; a winding wheel group 7 is provided in the workbench 1, and the winding wheel group 7 is respectively connected to the first pull rope 5 and the second pull rope 6. The winding wheel group 7 rotates and pulls the mobile positioning seat 2 to approach the vertical pipe and the horizontal pipe to dock; specifically, the method of using this assembly robot is to use a lifting device to lift one end of the vertical pipe into the mobile positioning seat 2 before docking assembly, so that the end of the non-flange plate is stuck in The vertical pipe is placed in the positioning groove 21 to ensure that the vertical pipe is in a vertical state; secondly, according to the height of the vertical pipe, the hydraulic cylinder 33 adjusts the height of the V-shaped support base 31 to a suitable position, and then the horizontal pipe is hung on the V-shaped support base 31, and the V-shaped support base 31 is not supported in the middle of the horizontal pipe, so that the horizontal pipe is inclined at a certain angle, and the pressure roller 4 is placed in the higher end of the horizontal pipe, and the first pull rope 5 pulls the pressure roller 4 to be stuck in the ridge groove of the horizontal pipe to maintain the inclined state of the horizontal pipe, and the winding wheel Group 7 rotates to reel in and pulls the second pull rope 6 to pull the moving positioning seat 2 and the vertical pipe fittings toward the workbench 1. The flanges at the beveled ends of the two pipe fittings will contact and drive the lever of the horizontal pipe fitting with the V-shaped support base 31 as the fulcrum to tilt toward the horizontal, and the winding wheel group 7 will pull down the pressure roller 4 to assist in the winding process, so that the left end of the horizontal pipe fitting is compressed and the right end is lifted up. In this process, when the beveled flanges fit tightly and the screw holes are aligned, the winding wheel group 7 is stopped, and the bolts are aligned and inserted to be tightened, with high alignment accuracy and operating efficiency.

[0028] It is worth noting that a tightening mechanism, such as a gas expander, can be provided in the positioning notch 21 to prevent the vertical pipe from collapsing. A roller is provided at the bottom of the movable positioning seat 2 , and the rolling direction of the roller is toward the workbench 1 .

[0029] Reference Figure 4As shown, the winding wheel group 7 in this embodiment includes a motor 71, a first winding wheel 73 and a second winding wheel 72. The output shaft of the motor 71 is connected to the first winding wheel 73, and the first winding wheel 73 and the second winding wheel 72 are coaxially arranged. One motor 71 serves as a power source to drive the two winding wheels; the first winding wheel 73 and the second winding wheel 72 are cylindrical cage structures, the first winding wheel 73 is connected to the first pull rope 5, and the second winding wheel 72 is connected to the second pull rope 6, and the first pull rope 5 and the second pull rope are tied to the stick; a yoke 74 and an armature 75 are installed at one end of the second winding wheel 72 in sequence, a first spring 76 is connected between the armature 75 and the yoke 74, and a force transmission column 77 is installed on the yoke 74, and the force transmission column 77 is inserted into the armature 75 and is slidably connected thereto; a side end surface of the first winding wheel 73 is installed The meshing toothed disc 78 and the armature 75 are provided with a toothed disc surface 751 which matches the meshing toothed disc 78 on the side facing the first reel 73; specifically, when the second pull rope 6 pulls the vertical pipe fitting on the movable positioning seat 2 to contact the horizontal pipe fitting, the rotation of the motor 71 only drives the second reel 72 to rotate and reel in the second pull rope 6 to achieve pulling; and when the two beveled flanges come into contact, the yoke 74 is powered off, so that the armature 75 is ejected by the first spring 76, and its toothed disc surface 751 is in contact and meshed with the meshing toothed disc 78 to achieve power transmission, so that the first reel 73 starts to pull the pressure roller 4, so that the end of the horizontal pipe fitting close to the vertical pipe fitting is forced to tilt up, which mainly plays an auxiliary role, and the end faces of the beveled flanges are gradually fitted, which helps to improve the docking tightness and the alignment of the screw holes.

[0030] like Figure 4 As shown, since the adjustment stroke of the first pull rope 5 for pulling the pressure roller 4 down is short, and the stroke of the second pull rope 6 for pulling the vertical pipes together is long, the diameter of the second reel 72 is larger than the diameter of the first reel 73. In addition, the first reel 73 can be provided with an electrically controlled ratchet mechanism to prevent the first reel 73 from rotating, thereby making the downward pressing effect of the pressure roller 4 ineffective.

[0031] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a support plate 8 is provided on the workbench 1, one end of the pressure roller 4 is connected to a slide plate 9, the slide plate 9 is slidably connected to the support plate 8, and the first pull rope 5 is connected to the slide plate 9; the back side of the slide plate 9 is connected to the second spring 10; specifically, the slide plate 9 drives the pressure roller 4 to make vertical linear motion relative to the support plate 8, and the second spring 10 can pull the slide plate 9 to reset due to the elastic force of the second spring 10 when the first reel 73 is powered off.

[0032] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, in order to adjust the working position of the lifting mechanism 3 so that it can be better used for assembling pipe fittings, a slide 34 is installed at the bottom of the hydraulic cylinder 33, and a slide rail 13 adapted to the slide 34 is opened on the workbench 1. The slide 34 drives the V-shaped support base 31 to move along the slide rail 13.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, at least two guide rods 11 are provided on one side end face of the workbench 1, and the guide rods 11 pass through the movable positioning seat 2 and are slidably connected thereto; the second pull rope 6 is provided between the guide rods 11 and remains parallel thereto, and a third spring 12 is sleeved on the guide rod 11, and the third spring 12 abuts between the workbench 1 and the movable positioning seat 2; specifically, the guide rod 11 combined with the setting position of the second pull rope 6 effectively prevents the problem of displacement of the movable positioning seat 2 during the process of approaching, and the horizontal pipe fittings and the vertical pipe fittings are on the same plane.

[0034] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of balls 41 are embedded and installed on the pressure roller 4; specifically, relative sliding will occur when the pressure roller 4 presses down the horizontal pipe, and the balls 41 can reduce the friction with the edge of the lowest point of the inner wall of the horizontal pipe.

[0035] Reference Figure 6 As shown, the positioning notch 21 is a square hole structure; specifically, the tip of the positioning notch 21 is aligned with the opening of the V-shaped support base 31, so that subsequent assembly only requires alignment of the horizontally placed pipe fittings on a single plane, which makes the operation easier.

[0036] In order to prevent the transversely placed pipe from sliding relative to the V-shaped support base 31 during the lever tilting alignment process, an anti-slip rubber pad is provided on the surface of the V-shaped support base 31 .

[0037] The above are only preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
