[0052] Example

[0053] The present application embodiment provides an assembly execution device 100, which can achieve high-precision assembly between assembly parts. Figure 1-Figure 4 The specific structure of the assembly execution device 100 is described in detail.

[0054] Figure 1 A schematic diagram of the structure of an assembly execution device 100 provided in an embodiment of the present application; Figure 2 for Figure 1 The structural schematic diagram of the regulating device 10 shown; Figure 3 for Figure 1 The structure diagram of the grabbing device 20 shown is in the first viewing angle; Figure 4 for Figure 1 The structure diagram of the grabbing device 20 shown is at a second viewing angle.

[0055] like Figure 1 As shown, the assembly execution device 100 includes an adjustment device 10, a gripping device 20 and a control system.

[0056] The adjusting device 10 includes an adjusting mechanism 11 and a placement platform 12 for placing the first assembly part, the placement platform 12 is connected to the adjusting mechanism 11, and the adjusting mechanism 11 is used to adjust the posture of the placement platform 12;

[0057] The gripping device 20 includes a gripping mechanism 21 ( Figure 1 Not shown), sensor 22 ( Figure 1The sensor 22 is connected between the grasping mechanism 21 and the implementing mechanism 23, the grasping mechanism 21 is used to grasp the second assembly part, the sensor 22 is used to obtain the posture signal of the second assembly part grasped by the grasping mechanism 21, and the implementing mechanism 23 is used to transport the second assembly part grasped by the grasping mechanism 21 to the placement platform 12, and assemble it with the first assembly part on the placement platform 12;

[0058] The control system is used to control the action of the adjustment mechanism 11 according to the posture signal to adjust the posture of the placement platform 12.

[0059] During the assembly process, after the gripping mechanism 21 grabs the second assembly part, the sensor 22 will obtain the force information of the gripping mechanism 21 grabbing the second assembly part, that is, obtain the posture signal of the second assembly part. After the posture signal is transmitted to the control system, the control system controls the adjustment mechanism 11 of the adjustment device 10 to operate according to the posture signal, adjusts the posture of the placement platform 12, and then adjusts the posture of the first assembly part on the placement platform 12, so that the posture of the first assembly part is consistent with the posture of the second assembly part, so that the first assembly part and the second assembly part can achieve a high-precision assembly effect. The assembly execution device 100 of this structure ensures a high-precision effect between the assemblies, has a simple maintenance process, and can be adapted to a wide range of assembly production and manufacturing processes. At the same time, it can ensure that the gaps between the assemblies are uniform, reduce the production of defective products, avoid errors in manual operations, save production costs, and improve assembly capacity.

[0060] It should be noted that, under the action of the control system, the adjusting mechanism 11 adjusts the posture of the first assembly to be consistent with the posture adjustment of the second assembly. It can be understood that when the second assembly grasped by the grasping mechanism 21 is tilted, the control system controls the adjusting mechanism 11 to operate so that the first assembly also tilts, so that the first assembly is parallel to the second assembly.

[0061] The control system can be a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) or a single-chip microcomputer. Of course, the control system is not limited to the two structural forms of PLC and single-chip microcomputer.

[0062] Alternatively, if Figure 2 As shown, the adjustment mechanism 11 includes a support platform 111 and at least three telescopic members 112. One end of the telescopic member 112 is hinged to the support platform 111, and the other end of the telescopic member 112 is hinged to the placement platform 12. The control system is used to control the telescopic movement of each telescopic member 112 according to the posture signal.

[0063] The two ends of the telescopic member 112 are respectively hinged to the supporting platform 111 and the placement platform 12. The control system controls the telescopic member 112 to extend and retract, thereby adjusting the posture of the placement platform 12. The structure is simple and easy to implement.

[0064] The telescopic member 112 is ball-jointed to the supporting platform 111 , and the telescopic member 112 is ball-jointed to the placing platform 12 .

[0065] In this embodiment, the supporting platform 111 and the placing platform 12 are both annular. There are six telescopic members 112. In each of three adjacent telescopic members 112, the first two adjacent telescopic members 112 are distributed in an "eight" shape, and the last two adjacent telescopic members 112 are distributed in an inverted "eight" shape. Exemplarily, the telescopic member 112 is a cylinder.

[0066] In this embodiment, the sensor 22 is a multi-dimensional force sensor. Exemplarily, the sensor is a six-dimensional force sensor.

[0067] In other embodiments, the number of the telescopic members 112 between the supporting platform 111 and the placing platform 12 may also be three, four, or five.

[0068] Furthermore, the assembly execution device 100 further includes a frame 30. The adjustment mechanism 11 and the execution mechanism 23 are both connected to the frame 30, and the execution mechanism 23 is used to drive the grasping mechanism 21 to move in the horizontal direction A, the longitudinal direction B and the vertical direction C relative to the frame 30.

[0069] The actuator 23 can drive the grasping mechanism 21 to move in the horizontal direction A, the vertical direction B and the vertical direction C relative to the frame 30, that is, the grasping mechanism 21 can move in three directions, so that the grasping mechanism 21 has a larger grasping range. During the assembly process, after the grasping mechanism 21 grasps the second assembly part at the grasping position, the actuator 23 drives the grasping mechanism 21 to move in the horizontal direction A and the vertical direction B, so that the grasping mechanism 21 is located directly above the placement platform 12, and then the actuator 23 drives the grasping mechanism 21 to move downward in the vertical direction C, so that the second assembly part and the first assembly part can be finally assembled on the placement platform 12.

[0070] The frame 30 includes a cabinet 31, a support frame 32 and a feeding platform 33. The top surface of the cabinet 31 is a supporting surface 311. The support frame 32 and the feeding platform 33 are both fixed to the supporting surface 311. The support frame 32 is a frame structure. The supporting platform 111 of the adjusting mechanism 11 of the adjusting device 10 is fixed to the supporting surface 311. The actuator 23 of the grabbing device 20 is arranged on the support frame 32, so that the grabbing device 20 is located on the upper side of the adjusting device 10.

[0071] The feeding platform 33 is used to place the second assembly part, and the second assembly part can be placed on the feeding platform 33 by manual or robot loading. Similarly, the first assembly part can also be placed on the placement platform 12 by manual or robot loading.

[0072] When the grabbing mechanism 21 grabs the second assembly part on the feeding platform 33, the actuator 23 drives the grabbing mechanism 21 to move horizontally A and vertically B, so that the grabbing mechanism 21 is located directly above the feeding platform 33, and then the actuator 23 drives the grabbing mechanism 21 to move vertically C downward, and the grabbing mechanism 21 finally reaches the grabbing position to grab the second assembly part.

[0073] It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the function of the actuator 23 is to drive the gripping mechanism 21 to move in three mutually perpendicular directions. In other embodiments, the actuator 23 can drive the actuator 23 to move only in two mutually perpendicular directions, for example, the actuator 23 can drive the gripping mechanism 21 to move only in the horizontal direction A and the vertical direction C. After the gripping mechanism 21 grabs the second assembly part, the actuator 23 drives the gripping mechanism 21 to move in the horizontal direction A so that the gripping mechanism 21 is located directly above the placement platform 12, and then the actuator 23 drives the gripping mechanism 21 to move downward in the vertical direction C, so that the second assembly part and the first assembly part can be finally assembled on the placement platform 12.

[0074] Optionally, combined Figure 1 , Figure 3 The actuator 23 includes a first moving seat 231, a second moving seat 232, a third moving seat 233, a first driving device 234, a second driving device 235 and a third driving device 236. The first moving seat 231 is movably arranged on the frame 30, and the first driving device 234 is used to drive the first moving seat 231 to move in the horizontal direction A relative to the frame 30.

The third moving seat 233 is movably arranged on the second moving seat 232, and the third driving device 236 is used to drive the third moving seat 233 to move in the vertical direction C relative to the second moving seat 232. The sensor 22 is connected between the grasping mechanism 21 and the third moving seat 233.

[0075] By driving the first movable seat 231 to move relative to the frame 30 through the first driving device 234, the lateral A movement of the grasping mechanism 21 can be achieved; by driving the second movable seat 232 to move relative to the first movable seat 231 through the second driving device 235, the longitudinal B movement of the grasping mechanism 21 can be achieved; by driving the third movable seat 233 to move vertically C relative to the second movable seat 232 through the third driving device 236, the vertical C movement of the grasping mechanism 21 can be achieved. The lateral A, longitudinal B and vertical C movements of the grasping mechanism 21 can be achieved in the above manner, and the structure is simple and easy to achieve.

[0076] Optionally, the support frame 32 of the frame 30 is supported on the bottom of the first movable seat 231, so that the first movable seat 231 has good stability during the lateral movement A. The first movable seat 231 is supported on the bottom of the second movable seat 232, so that the second movable seat 232 has good stability during the longitudinal movement B.

[0077] The first movable seat 231 is a plate-like structure, and two parallel third guide rails 321 are provided on the support frame 32 of the frame 30 for the first movable seat 231 to move. Exemplarily, the first driving device 234 is a first linear module, and the support frame 32 is connected to the first movable seat 231 through the first linear module, and the first linear module can realize the reciprocating movement of the first movable seat 231 in the horizontal direction A when it works.

[0078] The second moving seat 232 is also a plate-shaped structure, and the first moving seat 231 is provided with two parallel fourth guide rails 2311 for the second moving seat 232 to move. Exemplarily, the second driving device is a second linear module, and the first moving seat 231 and the second moving seat 232 are connected through the second linear module, and the second linear module can realize the reciprocating movement of the second moving seat 232 in the longitudinal direction B when the second linear module works.

[0080] The second movable seat 232 includes a bottom plate 2321, a first side plate 2322, a second side plate 2323 and a top plate 2324. The two ends of the first side plate 2322 are connected to the bottom plate 2321 and the top plate 2324 respectively, and the two ends of the second side plate 2323 are connected to the bottom plate 2321 and the top plate 2324 respectively, so that the second movable seat 232 is a rectangular frame structure as a whole, and has good structural stability. The third movable seat 233 is movably arranged between the first side plate 2322 and the second side plate 2323, which can be understood as the third movable seat 233 moving inside the second movable seat 232, saving space. The third driving device 236 is connected to the top plate 2324, which is convenient for driving the third movable seat 233 to move.

[0081] The bottom plate 2321 of the second movable seat 232 is connected to the first movable seat 231 via a second linear module.

[0082] In this embodiment, the third movable seat 233 is a rectangular frame structure.

[0083] Furthermore, the first guide rail 2331 and the second guide rail 2331 are respectively provided on both sides of the third movable seat 233.

When the motor 2361 drives the screw 2363 to rotate, the third movable seat 233 will move vertically C relative to the second movable seat 232.

[0085] The nut 2332 threadedly connected to the screw rod 2363 is fixed on the top of the third movable seat 233 .

[0086] Furthermore, if Figure 4 As shown, a buffer 2327 is provided on the top plate 2324. When the third movable seat 233 moves upward in the vertical direction C under the action of the third driving device 236, after the nut 2332 on the third movable seat 233 contacts the buffer 2327, the buffer 2327 can buffer the third movable seat 233, thereby preventing the third movable seat 233 from having a rigid contact with the top plate 2324 and improving the service life of the third movable seat 233.

[0087] Among them, Figure 4 As shown, the buffer member 2327 is an elastic member. Exemplarily, the buffer member 2327 is made of elastic rubber material.

[0088] It should be noted that the sensor 22 can be directly connected to the actuator 23, that is, the sensor 22 is directly connected to the third movable seat 233; the sensor 22 can also be indirectly connected to the actuator 23 through an intermediate piece, that is, the sensor 22 is connected to the third movable seat 233 through an intermediate piece.

[0089] In this embodiment, Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the gripping device 20 further includes a rotating mechanism 24, which is connected between the sensor 22 and the actuator 23, and is used to drive the gripping mechanism 21 to rotate around an axis arranged vertically in the C direction.

[0090] After the grasping mechanism 21 grasps the second assembly part, the grasping mechanism 21 can be driven to rotate around an axis arranged in the vertical direction C through the rotating mechanism 24 to adjust the direction of the second assembly part.

[0091] Exemplarily, the rotating mechanism 24 is a rotating platform, and the sensor 22 is connected to the rotating platform via a connecting piece 25 .

[0092] In the grasping device 20, the grasping mechanism 21 is used to grasp the second assembly part, and the grasping mechanism 21 can be of various structures. In this embodiment, the grasping mechanism 21 is exemplarily a plurality of suction cups distributed in a rectangular array, and the second assembly part is grasped by each suction cup. The grasping mechanism 21 is connected to the sensor 22 via a plate-shaped light source 26.

[0093] In general, when all suction cups are attracted to the second assembly part, the second assembly part is in a horizontal position; when only some suction cups are attracted to the second assembly part, the second assembly part may be tilted.

[0094] In addition, if Figure 1 As shown, the assembly actuator 23 also includes a first image positioning device 40 and a second image positioning device 50. The first image positioning device 40 is used to obtain a first position signal of a first assembly part located on the placement platform 12. The second image positioning device 50 is used to obtain a second position signal of a second assembly part grasped by the grasping mechanism 21. The control system is used to control the actuator 23 to drive the second assembly part grasped by the grasping mechanism 21 to move to the top of the first assembly part located on the placement platform 12 according to the first position signal and the second position signal.

[0095] During the assembly process, the first position signal of the first assembly part can be obtained through the first image positioning device 40, and the second position signal of the second assembly part can be obtained through the second image positioning device 50. The control system can control the actuator 23 to drive the second assembly part to move to directly above the first assembly part according to the first position signal and the second position signal. At this time, the control system controls the actuator 23 to drive the second assembly part to move downward vertically C, so that the second assembly part and the first assembly part can be accurately assembled.

[0096] The support frame 32 of the frame 30 is provided with a vertical C-arranged stand 34, and the first image positioning device 40 is installed on the stand 34, so that the first image positioning device 40 is located directly above the placement platform 12. The second image positioning device 50 is installed on the support surface 311 of the cabinet 31 of the frame 30, and the second image positioning device 50 is located at the lower side of the grasping device 20.

[0097] Taking the example that both the first assembly part and the second assembly part are rectangles, after the first assembly part is placed on the placement platform 12, the first image positioning device 40 photographs the first assembly part, and determines the geometric center point of the first assembly part according to the contour of the photographed image, and this center point is the first center point; after the grasping mechanism 21 grasps the second assembly part on the feeding platform 33, the grasping mechanism 21 is driven by the actuator 23 to move to directly above the second image positioning device 50, and the second image positioning device 50 photographs the second assembly part, and determines the geometric center point of the second assembly part according to the contour of the photographed image, and this center point is the second center point. The control system obtains the coordinate value of the first center point in the reference coordinate system (horizontal coordinate X1, vertical coordinate Y1), and obtains the coordinate value of the second center point in the reference coordinate system (horizontal coordinate X2, vertical coordinate Y2). The control system controls the actuator 23 to drive the second assembly to move horizontally a first distance (X2-X1) and vertically a second distance (Y2-Y1). At this time, the second assembly is located directly above the first assembly. The control system then controls the actuator 23 to drive the second assembly to move vertically downward in the direction C, thereby achieving precise assembly of the second assembly with the first assembly.

For those skilled in the art, the present application may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
