Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of linear motor module assembly, and in particular to a long-stroke linear module on a sloped ground and an installation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The linear module was first developed and used in Germany, with its market positioning in photovoltaic equipment, loading and unloading robots, cutting equipment, gluing equipment, and patch equipment. This type of robot can bring convenience to the equipment in this industry, including: fast single-body movement speed, high repeat positioning accuracy, light body weight, small equipment space, and long life. With the rapid development of automation, the scope of application of linear modules has been expanding, and it is deeply favored by all walks of life.

[0003] Currently, most industries use linear modules with shorter strokes, generally within 5000mm. In this case, the module can be installed on a marble surface or a bracket with a precision surface to meet installation accuracy. However, in logistics transmission, automated transmission production lines, electronic component handling, LED handling and dispensing, etc., ultra-long stroke linear modules are required. Existing long-stroke module patents include: Publication No. CN108964403A, Invention Name: Ultra-Long Stroke Linear Module, which includes several module bodies, the module body includes a module base, several linear motor magnetic tracks, linear movers and linear guides arranged on the module base. The linear motor magnetic tracks and linear guides are laid along the longitudinal direction of the module base, the linear guides are arranged on both sides of the linear motor magnetic tracks, and the linear movers are equidistantly arranged on both sides of the magnetic tracks; wherein the module base also includes a first end and a second end, the first end is provided with a protrusion, and the second end is provided with an opening, the protrusion is received in the opening to connect the module body. By providing a protrusion on the first end of the module base and an opening on the second end, the protrusion is accommodated in the opening and the module body is spliced ​​to achieve infinite lengthening of the module body and precise connection of the linear motor magnetic track, with a simple structure and easy operation; this patent only provides a design scheme for a long-stroke module. In actual installation, in order to ensure the installation accuracy at the installation site, a precision surface of more than ten meters or even dozens of meters is required to install such a long module, which is impractical. In most cases, it can only be installed on the ground. During installation, in order to ensure the accuracy of use, an ultra-long-stroke precision surface is required, which incurs a lot of cost, and once the installation ground has a slope, it is impossible to make adjustments. In the installation scenario of dozens of meters, it is very likely that there will be a certain slope somewhere on the ground, which makes it impossible to carry out normal installation.

[0035] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0036] Example 1

[0037] Reference Figure 1 The present invention discloses a method for installing and adjusting the long-stroke linear module on a slope, and the installation method includes the following steps:

[0038] S1, assembling and splicing the module base 1 and the module mover 2 to form a pre-assembly;

[0039] S2. Install the leveling module 3 below the pre-assembled body;

[0040] S3. Measure the slope angle, slope length, and height difference between the high and low surfaces of the slope, install horizontal support frames 4 on the slope and low surfaces, and install slope end support frames 5 at the junction of the high and low surfaces.

[0041] S4. Use the leveling module 3 to adjust the height and level of the module base 1.

[0042] The installation method of the long-stroke linear module on the sloped ground solves the problem of actual use of the long-stroke module and solves the problem of the slope in the installation of the linear motor module of dozens of meters or even hundreds of meters.

[0043] Reference Figure 2 As shown, in step S1, the module base 1 includes two end bases and an intermediate base arranged between the two end bases, and the end base and the intermediate base both include a profile base, a guide rail arranged on the profile base, and a motor stator; the specific steps of step S1 include:

[0044] S1-1. Assemble a set of intermediate bases and assemble the guide rails and motor stators onto the profile base. First, lock the base profile required for the intermediate base onto the marble mounting table, install the guide rails, and use a micrometer to adjust the straightness of the single guide rail using the scale mounting surface (precision surface) of the base profile as the reference surface. Install the motor stator as required.

[0045] S1-2. Use the above-mentioned intermediate base as the middle section and mark it. Use this as a reference to splice new intermediate bases towards both ends. Mark each newly spliced ​​intermediate base. Two sections of intermediate bases form a group. Each time the reference intermediate base is spliced ​​with the new section of intermediate base and the guide rail is adjusted to meet the straightness requirements, remove the original reference base and use the newly installed intermediate base as a reference to continue splicing towards both ends. Repeat this step until a set of end bases are spliced.

[0046] S1-3, assembling the module mover 2 onto the single module base 1, setting a micrometer on the module mover 2, and measuring and adjusting the straightness and parallelism of the guide rail on the single module base 1 by sliding the module mover 2;

[0047] S1-4. Splice the middle base and the end bases in sequence according to the above marks to form the module base 1. Slide the module mover 2 on the module base 1 to measure and adjust the straightness and parallelism of the overall guide rail after splicing. Use the scale mounting surface (precision surface) of the base profile as the reference surface to measure the overall straightness of the guide rail. Use the marble mounting surface as the reference to measure the overall parallelism of the guide rail.

[0048] Specifically, in step S2, the leveling assembly includes a ground mounting plate, an adjusting plate arranged on the ground mounting plate, and the corner positions of the adjusting plate are provided with adjusting plate supporting screws and adjusting plate clamping screws connected to the ground mounting plate, and the module base 1 is installed on the adjusting plate, and the position of the adjusting plate supporting screw for installing the adjusting plate is a threaded hole, and the position of the adjusting plate clamping screw for installing the adjusting plate is a through hole. There is no hole at the position of the ground mounting plate corresponding to the adjusting plate supporting screw 5, and the position of the adjusting plate clamping screw for installing the adjusting plate is a threaded hole. In this way, the height of the adjusting plate can be adjusted only when the adjusting plate supporting screw is rotated. In order to facilitate the subsequent leveling process, the initial length of the adjusting plate supporting screw 5 and the adjusting plate clamping screw 6 is controlled in the middle position, so that the adjusting plate 21 can be adjusted up or down at this position.

[0049] Specifically, in step S3, the inclination angle of the horizontal section support frame 4 is adjusted according to the slope angle, so that the installation surface of the horizontal section support frame 4 on the slope is horizontal, and the installation surface is at the same height as the high surface; the height of the horizontal section support frame 4 installed on the low surface is adjusted according to the height difference between the high surface and the low surface, so that the installation surface of the horizontal section support frame 4 is at the same height as the high surface. In this way, the pre-assembly is supported at the same height by a plurality of horizontal section support frames 4 respectively arranged on the slope surface and the low surface, thereby eliminating the influence of the slope on the installation of the linear module;

[0050] Specifically, in step S3, a slope end support frame 5 is provided at the connection between the high surface and the slope surface. The slope end support frame 5 further supports and fixes the connection position to avoid the problem of insufficient support due to the presence of a void at the connection position.

[0051] Specifically, in step S4, after confirming the height difference of the slope at the actual installation site, the height of the nuts on the horizontal section support frame 4 and the slope end support frame 5 is roughly confirmed, and the ground mounting plate of the rear section of the slope is pre-installed on the horizontal section support frame 4 and the slope end support frame 5, and the ground mounting plate of the horizontal ground section is also laid on the ground. Starting from the end of the horizontal section support frame 4, the leveling module 3 is prepared, and the height of each section of the module base 1 is adjusted using an infrared laser lamp in conjunction with the adjustment plate support screws and the adjustment plate tightening screws, so that the heights of the spliced ​​multi-section module bases 1 are the same. The specific leveling process is: fix the infrared laser lamp on the module mover 2, and use the laser beam emitted by this infrared laser lamp as a reference line to adjust the height of the adjustment plate under each section of the module base 1 respectively. Even if there may be an error in the height of the position where each ground mounting plate is placed, the error can be eliminated by adjusting the adjustment plate.

[0052] Example 2

[0053] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment discloses a long-stroke linear module on a sloped ground, which is applicable to the installation method of the above-mentioned embodiment 1. The long-stroke linear module includes a module base 1, a module mover 2 sliding on the module base 1 along its extension direction, a leveling module 3, a horizontal section support frame 4 for supporting the module base 1, and a slope end support frame 5. The horizontal section support frame 4 is installed on the ground of the slope surface and the low surface, and the slope end support frame 5 is installed at the connection between the high surface and the slope surface. The leveling module 3 adjusts the height and levelness of the module base 1.

[0054] The long-stroke linear module on the sloped ground described in the present invention forms an integral assembly by splicing individual modules together, thereby realizing modular installation and effectively reducing the operational difficulty of installing the long-stroke module. During the installation process, the horizontal section support frame 4 and the slope end support frame 5 are provided in conjunction with the change of the installation environment, so that installation on the slope can be achieved. In addition, a leveling component is provided, and after the installation is completed, the height and level of the linear module can be adjusted by checking the coordination.

[0055] Specifically, the module base 1 and the module mover 2 in this embodiment are both prior art, wherein:

[0056] The module base 1 includes a profile base, a motor stator, a guide rail, a side cover, and a scale, and the motor stator, guide rail, side cover, and scale are all installed on the profile base;

[0057] The module mover 2 includes a motor mover, an encoder, an encoder bracket, a sliding platform, and a slider. The motor mover is arranged in a coordinated manner with the motor stator. The slider slides along the guide rail. The slider supports the sliding platform. The encoder bracket and the encoder are installed on the sliding platform.

[0058] The leveling assembly includes a ground mounting plate and an adjusting plate arranged on the ground mounting plate. The corners of the adjusting plate are provided with adjusting plate supporting screws and adjusting plate clamping screws connected to the ground mounting plate. The module base 1 is installed on the adjusting plate. The position of the adjusting plate supporting screw for installing the adjusting plate is a threaded hole, and the position of the adjusting plate clamping screw for installing the adjusting plate is a through hole. There is no hole at the position of the ground mounting plate corresponding to the adjusting plate supporting screw, and the position of the adjusting plate clamping screw for installing the adjusting plate is a threaded hole. In this way, the height of the adjusting plate can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting plate supporting screw. In order to facilitate subsequent leveling processing, the initial length of the adjusting plate supporting screw and the adjusting plate clamping screw is controlled in the middle position, so that the adjusting plate can be adjusted up or down at this position.

[0059] Reference Figure 5 As shown, the horizontal section support frame 4 includes a first support frame base plate 41, two sets of first universal foot cups 42 arranged on the first support frame base plate 41, one end of the first universal foot cup 42 is mounted on the base plate through a universal foot, the other end of the first universal foot cup 42 is provided with a threaded rod, and a stabilizing pressure plate 43 connected to the module base 1 is sleeved on the threaded rod, and a stabilizing pressure plate adjusting bolt 44 is provided between the stabilizing pressure plate 43 and the first support frame base plate 41;

[0060] Adjust the inclination angle of the two sets of first universal foot cups 42 according to the inclination angle of the slope. When the first support frame base plate 41 is placed on the slope, the universal foot installation and adjustment ensure that the extension direction of the two sets of threaded rods is still vertically upward, so that the stabilizing pressure plates 43 sleeved on the threaded rods have horizontal surfaces. Then, by rotating the stabilizing pressure plate adjustment bolts 44, adjust the height of the stabilizing pressure plate 43 so that it is level with the high surface of the slope, thereby overcoming the influence of the slope on the installation of the long-stroke linear module.

[0061] Specifically, when actually selecting the first universal foot cup 42 , two sets of first universal foot cups 42 with different lengths are selected in the slope section according to the slope height difference;

[0062] The horizontal support frame 4 of this embodiment is composed of a first support frame bottom plate 41 and a stabilizing pressure plate 43, forming a stable square structure. Due to the addition of the stabilizing pressure plate 43, the overall structure will not be unstable due to the universal foot cup;

[0063] Specifically, according to the length of the long-stroke linear module, a plurality of horizontal segment support frames 4 are arranged at equal intervals, wherein the last horizontal segment support frame 4 is located at the end of the long-stroke linear module.

The top surface of the second universal foot cup 52 is abutted and supported under the long-stroke linear module, and the wedge-shaped support block 53 is slidably arranged on the second support frame bottom plate 51. When the long-stroke linear module is laid out, the wedge-shaped support block 53 is slid on the second support frame bottom plate 51, and the wedge-shaped support block 53 is slidably inserted into the gap between the long-stroke linear module and the slope surface to further support the long-stroke linear module;

[0065] In this embodiment, the wedge-shaped support block 53 cooperates with the second universal foot cup 52 to form a stable triangular structure, thereby achieving the purpose of stable support.
