In this specification, the schematic representation of the above terms does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment or example. Moreover, the specific features, structures, materials or characteristics described may be combined in any one or more embodiments or examples in a suitable manner.

[0040] See also Figures 1 to 3The automobile stamping panel hanger of the embodiment of the present invention includes a fixed bracket, a movable bracket, a driving mechanism and a control device.

[0041] Specifically, the automobile stamping panel hanger is fixed to the conveying guide rail through a fixed bracket to achieve the installation and fixation of the automobile stamping panel hanger. The conveying guide rail is generally installed in the air, and fixing the automobile stamping panel hanger to the conveying guide rail can save ground working space. In this embodiment, the movable bracket is hinged to the fixed bracket, and the movable bracket can swing around the hinge in a vertical plane.

[0042] The driving mechanism is installed on the fixed bracket, and the driving mechanism is used to drive the movable bracket to rotate; the control device is used to control the driving mechanism. When the movable bracket is not in use, the control device controls the driving mechanism to swing the movable bracket upward, that is, the movable bracket is in a flipped-up state. When the movable bracket is in the flipped-up state, the space under the movable bracket can be vacated, thereby preventing the movable bracket from affecting normal production operations. When the movable bracket is in use, the driving mechanism is activated to swing the movable bracket downward, that is, the movable bracket is in a connecting state, which is convenient for technicians to place the stamping panel on the hanging component.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, the movable bracket includes a suspension component, and the suspension component is used to fix the stamping panel to ensure that the stamping panel can be smoothly placed on the automobile stamping panel hanger of the embodiment of the present invention. After the stamping panel is placed on the suspension component, the control device is activated to lock the driving mechanism, thereby preventing the operator from misoperating the control device and causing the stamping panel to fall from the suspension component, thereby ensuring the safety of the operator and the stamping panel.

[0044] When the last two stamping panels are left in the parts cage, the technician takes out the two stamping panels, places one of the stamping panels on the conveying hanger for normal production work, and places the other on the automobile stamping panel hanger of the present invention for standby. After taking out the last two stamping panels, operate the elevator to switch the parts cage. During the process of the elevator switching the parts cage, the technician takes down the spare stamping panels placed on the automobile stamping panel hanger and places them on the conveying hanger, avoiding the need to wait until the elevator switches the parts cage before continuing the conveying operation of the stamping panels, thereby ensuring the continuity of the stamping panel conveying, solving the impact of the elevator switching the parts cage on normal production work, and improving production efficiency.

[0045] See also Figure 1As shown, in one embodiment of the present invention, the movable bracket includes a cross beam 122 and a driving rod 123, one end of the driving rod 123 is vertically connected to the cross beam 122, and the other end of the driving rod 123 is hinged to the output end of the driving mechanism. The driving rod 123 is fixedly connected to the cross beam 122, so that the driving rod 123, the cross beam 122 and the suspension component form a whole. When the output end of the driving mechanism applies a force to the driving rod 123, the cross beam 122 and the support rod 114 can be rotated around the hinge shaft 133, and the movable bracket is in different positions due to the rotation, that is, the movable bracket switches to different states, such as Figure 4 Wherein, the hinge shaft 133 is locked by a pin 134 .

[0046] In the above embodiment, the driving mechanism includes a driving device and a fixing assembly 132, the fixing bracket includes a support rod 114 and a horizontally arranged first connecting rod 113, one end of the support rod 114 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 113, the other end of the support rod 114 is hinged to the fixing assembly 132, and the driving device is fixedly connected to the fixing assembly 132. Figure 3 As shown. When the driving device applies a force to the driving rod 123, the position and angle of the driving rod 123 change. Since the fixing assembly 132 for fixing the driving device is hinged to the support rod 114, the driving device can rotate around the hinge shaft 133 between the fixing assembly 132 and the support rod 114. The driving device can rotate around the hinge shaft 133 of the support rod 114. On the premise of satisfying the rotation driving force of the movable bracket, the structure and control principle of the driving mechanism can be simplified, thereby simplifying the automobile stamping panel hanger of the embodiment of the present invention and reducing the manufacturing cost.

[0047] The fixed bracket further includes a first hinged rod 115, a horizontally arranged first bracket assembly 111, and a second fixed bracket assembly vertically connected to the first bracket assembly 111, and a first connecting rod 113 is connected to the second bracket assembly 112. The first bracket assembly 111 is fixedly connected to the conveying guide rail, and one end of the first hinged rod 115 is fixedly connected to the first connecting rod 113. The movable bracket further includes a second hinged rod 125, and one end of the second hinged rod 125 is fixedly connected to the crossbeam 122. The other end of the first hinged rod 115 and the other end of the second hinged rod 125 are hinged by a pin, and the movable bracket can rotate around the axis of the pin in a vertical plane. The provision of the first hinged rod 115 and the second hinged rod 125 increases the rotational torque of the movable bracket, can effectively reduce the power of the driving device, is conducive to reducing the weight of the embodiment of the present invention, and achieves the purpose of energy saving.

[0048] In this embodiment, the driving device is a cylinder 131, and the output end of the cylinder 131 is hinged to the support rod 114. The output end of the cylinder 131 is a piston rod. The cylinder 131 is small in size, simple in motion control, and fast in response speed, and can be well adapted to the working characteristics of the frequent switching of the working state of the automobile stamping panel hanger.

[0049] The movable bracket further includes a second connecting rod 124, one end of which is vertically connected to the crossbeam 122, and the suspension component is connected to the second connecting rod 124. In this embodiment, the weight of the stamping panel is relatively small, and the stamping panel will not generate a large rotational torque on the movable bracket after being placed on the suspension component. Therefore, the reaction force borne by the output end of the cylinder 131 is relatively small, and the cylinder 131 will not be damaged. The preset angle between the cylinder 131 and the driving rod 123 is based on meeting the rotation requirements.

[0050] In some other embodiments, the weight of the stamping panel is relatively large, and after the stamping panel is placed on the suspension component, a large torque will be generated on the movable bracket. At this time, the output end of the cylinder 131 is subjected to a large reaction force. In view of this situation, the length of the support rod 114 and the driving rod 123 is adjusted so that when the second connecting rod 124 is in a vertical state, the output shaft of the driving device is parallel to the second connecting rod 124. At this time, after the stamping panel is placed on the suspension component, the direction of the reaction force of the driving rod 123 on the output end of the cylinder 131 is in the vertical direction. Since the output end of the driving device (the cylinder 131 in this embodiment) is parallel to the second connecting rod 124, that is, the axis of the output shaft of the driving device is also in the vertical direction, the cylinder 131 is prevented from being subjected to a large force in the radial direction, which can effectively prevent the cylinder 131 from being damaged during operation and effectively extend the working life of the cylinder 131.

[0051] In this embodiment, the suspension component includes a third link 121, one end of the third link 121 is vertically connected to the second link 124, the other end of the third link 121 is cantilevered, and the third link 121 is used to fix the stamping panel. When working, the stamping panel is hung on the third link 121, so that the stamping panel can be fixed on the movable bracket.

[0052] In the above embodiment, the control device includes a pressure rod 142 and a control switch 141. The pressure rod 142 is arranged above the third connecting rod 121, and the control switch 141 is connected to the pressure rod 142. The control switch 141 is a travel switch, one end of the pressure rod 142 is connected to the travel switch, and the control switch 141 is used to control the on and off of the gas circuit of the cylinder 131. When the stamping panel is placed on the third connecting rod 121, the stamping panel presses the pressure rod 142, the travel switch is actuated and cuts off the gas circuit of the cylinder 131, and the cylinder 131 stops operating, thereby preventing the operator from misoperating the control switch and causing the stamping panel to fall, thereby ensuring the safety of the operation in the operation area.

[0053] The method for using the automobile stamping panel hanger of the second aspect of the embodiment of the present invention uses the above-mentioned automobile stamping panel hanger, and includes the following steps: a technician moves a stamping panel out of the elevator and places the stamping panel on the conveying hanger, and the stamping panel is transported to the fixture installation station by the conveying hanger for operation; when the last two stamping panels are left in the elevator, the control device is operated to put the automobile stamping panel hanger in a receiving state; the technician takes out the last two stamping panels from the parts cage in turn, one of which is placed on the conveying hanger for normal production operations, and the other is placed on the automobile stamping panel hanger for standby; the elevator is operated to switch the parts cage. During the process of switching parts by the elevator, after the technician uses up the first stamping panel, he removes the stamping panel placed on the automobile stamping panel hanger and places it on the conveying hanger.

[0054] When the last two stamping panels are left in the parts cage, the technician takes out the two stamping panels, places one of the stamping panels on the conveying hanger for normal production work, and places the other on the automobile stamping panel hanger of the present invention for standby. After taking out the last two stamping panels, the elevator is operated to switch the parts cage. In the process of the elevator switching the parts cage, the technician removes the spare stamping panels placed on the automobile stamping panel hanger and places them on the conveying hanger, avoiding the need to wait for the elevator to cut off the parts cage before continuing the delivery of the stamping panels, thereby ensuring the continuity of the stamping panel delivery, avoiding the impact on normal production work when the elevator switches the parts cage, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0055] The stamping panel quality confirmation method of the embodiment of the present invention uses the above-mentioned automobile stamping panel hanger, and includes the following steps:
