Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to a car side wall welding pre-assembly technology, in particular to a car side wall welding automatic pre-assembly device. BACKGROUND

[0002] Car side wall welding refers to welding the left and right side walls of the car body on the bottom plate. The side wall refers to the door frame and the fender and trunk support of the left and right sides of the car, which is the main component of the car body (see attached Figure 1 , in the figure, A is a car side wall, and B is a conveying frame). Generally, the car side wall and the car bottom plate are fixedly connected together by automatic welding, that is, the car side wall and the car bottom plate are welded together by using an automatic welding machine (i.e. a robot) on an assembly line. In order to ensure the accuracy of the weld, the car side wall and the car bottom plate are pre-fixed by using a buckle, so as to ensure that the car side wall is welded at the set position of the car bottom plate. The buckle refers to a structure in which two metal parts are connected together by metal deformation, including an L-shaped folded edge and a corresponding edge. Generally, the L-shaped folded edge is arranged on one metal part that needs to be connected (such as the car bottom plate), and the corresponding edge is arranged at the corresponding position of the other metal part that needs to be connected (such as the bottom of the car side wall). When the two parts need to be connected together, the corresponding edge is overlapped and placed on the inner side of the L-shaped folded edge, and a manual hammer or a special folding tool is used to fold the protruding part of the L-shaped folded edge and firmly wrap the corresponding edge, so as to realize the fixed connection between the two parts (see attached Figure 2 , in the figure, a is an L-shaped folded edge, and b is a corresponding edge). In addition, the process of pre-fixing the car side wall on the car bottom plate by using the buckle is called pre-assembly. Generally, a plurality of L-shaped folded edges and corresponding edges (i.e. buckles) corresponding to each other are arranged at the joint part of the car bottom plate and the car side wall. For example, in a certain type of car, a horizontal forward buckle I is arranged at the joint part of the car side wall trunk support and the car bottom plate, a vertical upward buckle II and a buckle III are arranged at the joint part of the car side wall front and rear door frame bottom and the car bottom plate, and a vertical downward buckle IV is arranged at the joint part of the car side wall fender support and the car bottom plate, a total of four buckles. Among them, the vertical downward buckle IV at the joint part of the fender support and the bottom plate is a double buckle structure (i.e. a structure composed of two buckles arranged side by side), and the others are single buckle structures (see attached Figure 1 ).

[0003] The prior art car side wall welding pre-assembly method uses a conveying frame to lift the car side wall and transmit it to the side of the car bottom plate (see attached Figure 1, in the figure, A is a car side wall, B is a conveying frame, because the conveying frame is not provided with a positioning mechanism, after the car side wall is conveyed to the side of the car floor, the car side wall can only be located near the set position of the car side wall welding (at this time the corresponding edge and the L-shaped folded edge are not overlapped together), and manual placement of the car side wall to the set position (at this time the corresponding edge and the L-shaped folded edge are overlapped together) is required. Then, a hammer or a special folding tool is used to fold the L-shaped folded edge one by one, so as to complete the pre-assembling process of the car side wall and the car floor.

[0004] Obviously, the prior art car side wall welding pre-assembling method has problems of high labor intensity, poor working environment and low efficiency. SUMMARY

[0027] Fig. 4 is a three-dimensional view of the double folding head folding mechanism of the present application; Figure 3 Figure 4 ​​​Another angle's partial three-dimensional schematic view of the automatic pre-assembling device for car side wall welding of the present application; in the figure, 1 is a lifting frame, 1-1 is a base, 1-2 is a support, 1-3 is a lifting support arm, 1-4 is a lifting claw, 2 is a linear slide rail; 3-1 is a positioning baffle, 3-1-1 is an L-shaped guide rod, 3-1-2 is a baffle, 3-2 is a pushing mechanism, 3-2-1 is a base, 3-2-2 is a pushing cylinder, 3-3-3 is a pushing head, 4-1 is a positioning base, 4-2 is a lower cross beam pressing plate, 4-2-1 is a rotating mechanism, 4-2-2 is a rotating pressing plate, 5-1 is a positioning column, 5-2 is a positioning support, 6 is a buckle folding mechanism. As can be seen from the figure, the automatic pre-assembling device for car side wall welding of the present application comprises a feeding mechanism and a folding mechanism; the feeding mechanism comprises a lifting mechanism and a positioning mechanism; the lifting mechanism comprises a lifting frame 1 and a linear slide rail 2; the lifting frame 1 comprises a base 1-1, a support 1-2, a lifting support arm 1-3 and a lifting claw 1-4; the base 1-1 is a rectangular frame structure, arranged on the linear slide rail 2, and a feeding drive mechanism for driving the base 1-1 to move back and forth along the linear slide rail 2 is arranged on the rear side of the base; the support 1-2 is a herringbone-shaped support and there are two of them, arranged on the left and right sides of the base 1-1 respectively, and a lifting support arm 1-3 is arranged on the top of the support 1-2, and a lifting claw 1-4 is arranged at the end of the lifting support arm 1-3; the linear slide rail 2 is two, arranged on the two sides of the base 1-1 respectively, and laid between the pre-assembling feeding position of the car side wall and the welding setting position of the car side wall; the positioning mechanism comprises an X-direction positioning mechanism, a Y-direction positioning mechanism and a Z-direction positioning mechanism and is arranged on the same vertical plane; the folding mechanism is arranged at the buckle position after the car side wall is positioned to the welding setting position, and the number of the folding mechanism is the same as that of the buckles and is arranged in front of each buckle. As can be seen, when the automatic pre-assembling device for car side wall welding of the present application is used for pre-assembling, the mechanical arm conveys the car side wall to one side of the lifting frame, the lifting support arm extends to hold the upper cross beam of the two door frames of the side wall, and the X-direction positioning mechanism, the Y-direction positioning mechanism and the Z-direction positioning mechanism arranged on the same vertical plane fix the car side wall from the X-direction, the Y-direction and the Z-direction respectively and keep it on the vertical plane. The feeding drive mechanism drives the base to move forward along the linear slide rail to the welding setting position of the car side wall, and since the car side wall is accurately positioned and fixed on the lifting frame, it can be accurately fed to the welding setting position of the car side wall, at this time, the corresponding edges of each buckle and the L-shaped folded edge overlap together. The buckle folding mechanism arranged in front of each buckle moves forward, thereby folding the protruding part of the L-shaped folded edge and firmly wrapping the corresponding edges, thereby completing the pre-assembling of the car side wall.

[0028] As one of the preferred schemes, the X-direction positioning mechanism comprises a positioning baffle 3-1 and a pushing mechanism 3-2; the positioning baffle is arranged on the left side of the base 1-1 and comprises an L-shaped guide rod 3-1-1 and a baffle 3-1-2; one end of the L-shaped guide rod is fixed on the left front side of the base 1-1 through a sliding groove, and the other end is fixedly connected with the baffle 3-1-2; the pushing mechanism 3-2 is arranged on the ground on the right front side of the base 1-1 and corresponds to the positioning baffle 3-1; and the pushing mechanism 3-2 comprises a base 3-2-1, a pushing cylinder 3-2-2 and a pushing head 3-2-3, the base 3-2-1 is fixed on the ground on the right front side of the base 1-1, the pushing cylinder 3-2-2 is fixed on the upper surface of the base 3-2-1, and the pushing head 3-2-3 is fixed on the piston end of the pushing cylinder and corresponds to the positioning baffle; the piston of the pushing cylinder pushes the pushing head 3-2-3 to move forward, pushes the side wall of the car to move left, and pushes the side wall of the car between the positioning baffle 3-1 and the pushing mechanism 3-2, so that the X-direction positioning is realized. In the way of one end resisting and one end pushing, the X-direction positioning of the side wall of the car can be realized in a relatively loose condition. Even if the position of the side wall of the car is not very accurate after the mechanical arm lifts the side wall of the car to the position, the side wall of the car can be accurately positioned.

[0029] attached Figure 5 Fig. 4 is a partial three-dimensional schematic view of a Y-direction positioning mechanism of the present application, wherein A is a side wall of a car, 4-2-1 is a rotating mechanism, 4-2-2 is a rotating pressing plate, and 5-1 is a positioning column. Fig. 5 is a three-dimensional schematic view of a Z-direction positioning mechanism of the present application, wherein A is a side wall of a car, 5-1 is a positioning column, 5-2 is a rotating mechanism, and 5-3 is a rotating pressing plate. Figure 3 、 4 As one of the preferred schemes, the Y-direction positioning mechanism comprises a positioning base 4-1 and a lower cross beam pressing plate 4-2; the positioning base 4-1 is two and is arranged on the base 1-1 below the front and rear door frames of the side wall of the car after the side wall of the car is positioned on the lifting frame; the lower cross beam pressing plate 4-2 is arranged on the base 1-1 between the two positioning bases 4-1 and comprises a rotating mechanism 4-2-1 and a rotating pressing plate 4-2-2; the rotating mechanism 4-2-1 is fixed on the base 1-1, the rotating pressing plate 4-2-2 is fixed on the end of the rotating mechanism 4-2-1, and a rectangular step is arranged on the rotating pressing plate 4-2-2; when the rotating pressing plate is rotated to a vertical position, the rectangular step on the rotating pressing plate is just clamped on the lower cross beam of the side wall of the car, so that the Y-direction positioning is realized. In the way of supporting on both sides and clamping in the middle, the Y-direction positioning of the side wall of the car is realized, which is not only accurate and firm, but also lays a foundation for the next step of inserting the positioning column into the reference hole.

[0030] attached Figure 6 Fig. 5 is a three-dimensional schematic view of a Z-direction positioning mechanism of the present application, wherein A is a side wall of a car, 5-1 is a positioning column, 5-2 is a rotating mechanism, and 5-3 is a rotating pressing plate. Figure 7This is a three-dimensional schematic diagram of the Z-axis positioning mechanism and positioning support of the present invention. In the figure, A represents the side panel of a car, 4-2-1 is the rotating mechanism, 4-2-2 is the rotating pressure plate, 5-1 is the positioning post, 5-2-1 is the support plate, 5-2-2 is the support cylinder, and 5-2-3 is the support claw. See appendix. Figure 3 , 4 As one preferred embodiment, the Z-axis positioning mechanism includes a positioning post 5-1 and a positioning support 5-2. The positioning post 5-1 is located on the base 1-1 directly opposite the reference hole on the lower crossbeam of the car side panel, and includes a cylinder and a piston. The piston part is also a positioning post, and the diameter of the positioning post matches the reference hole on the lower crossbeam of the car side panel. The positioning support 5-2 includes a support plate 5-2-1, a support cylinder 5-2-2, and a support claw 5-2-3. The support plate 5-2-1 is fixed on the crossbar in the upper middle part of the right side bracket 1-2. The support cylinder 5-2-2 is fixed on the support plate 5-2-1. The support claw 5-2-3 is fixed on the piston end of the support cylinder 5-2-2, and the support position of the support claw 5-2-3 is exactly in the upper middle part of the B-pillar of the car side panel. The support distance is based on the car side panel maintaining a vertical state. By inserting positioning pins into the reference holes on the lower crossbeam of the car side panel, the positioning accuracy of the car side panel can be further calibrated. At the same time, positioning supports are used to maintain the car side panel in a numerical state, so that the car side panel can be accurately positioned on the feeding mechanism. This ensures that the car side panel is conveyed to the car side panel welding setting position and that the corresponding edges of each buckle and the L-shaped fold overlap together.

The U-shaped support 6-2-2 is fixed to the middle of the base plate 6-2-1, and an opening is provided in the transverse middle of the U-shaped support 6-2-2, so that the two opposite sides of the U-shaped support 6-2-2 form two parallel roller supports. The roller 6-2-3 is installed inside the roller supports, and the gap between the two parallel rollers is directly opposite the fastener. Using a double-roller extrusion method to fold the L-shaped edge is not only accurate and reliable, ensuring quality, but also prevents damage to the L-shaped edge and ensures durability.

In the figure, a is an L-shaped fold, b is the corresponding edge, 6-1 is a folding cylinder, 6-2 is a folding head, 6-2-1 is a folding base plate, 6-2-2 is a U-shaped support, 6-2-3 is a roller, and 6-2-4 is a guide seat.

The number of folding mechanisms is the same as the number of latches, and they are positioned directly in front of each latch. Specifically, when the side panel of the car is in the welding setting position, a folding mechanism 6 is laterally arranged via a support 9 in front of the joint between the rear trunk support and the car floor of the side panel, with the gap between the two parallel rollers facing the latches; a double-folding head folding mechanism is arranged via a base plate 8 below the joint between the fender support and the car floor of the side panel, with the gap between the two parallel rollers facing upwards towards the latches; and a folding mechanism 6 is arranged on the support column via a telescopic mechanism 7 above the joint between the front and rear door frames and the car floor of the side panel, with the gap between the two parallel rollers facing the latches.
