[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of a leveling device for workpiece assembly, for example, to a leveling pressure plate and a leveling device. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the workpiece assembly process, the workpiece in the assembly process generally needs to be leveled to ensure assembly accuracy. Therefore, leveling is an important link in the workpiece assembly process.
[0003] At present, with the development of mechanical automation, the workpiece assembly process is gradually replaced by automatic robots. In related technologies, the leveling process generally uses the mechanical arm of a robot to simulate the knocking action of a manual rubber hammer with a knocking end. However, because the mechanical arm is a cantilever structure, if a small mechanical arm is selected, for example, a robot arm (Selective Compliance Assembly Robot Arm, SCARA) applied to assembly work, which is a cantilever structure, causes the cantilever structure to have a deformation amount during the knocking process, and the leveling accuracy cannot be accurately controlled. If a large mechanical arm is selected, it occupies a large space and has a large weight. In addition, in the leveling process, the mechanical arm end is configured with soft materials such as rubber to protect the leveling object, but there is a certain elastic deformation, and the leveling accuracy cannot be accurately controlled.
[0004] In the process of implementing the embodiments of the present disclosure, it is found that at least the following problems exist in the related art: In the related art, the leveling accuracy of the automatic leveling process is poor. SUMMARY

[0008] In some embodiments, the leveling device comprises a vertical driving mechanism comprising a driving end that ascends or descends vertically, and the leveling disc of any one of the preceding embodiments is arranged on the driving end and can ascend or descend under the driving of the driving end.
[0009] The leveling disc and leveling device provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure can achieve the following technical effects:
[0010] The leveling disc provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure utilizes the pressure of vertical pressing to avoid structural deformation caused by mechanical cantilever structures during leveling; the end faces of the plurality of pressing columns of the pressing column group construct a leveling surface that is adapted to the end surface of the workpiece to be leveled, so that the end surface to be leveled can receive balanced leveling pressure during leveling, and the pressing columns are directly arranged on the disc body and are firmly installed, so that displacement does not occur during pressing and leveling, which affects the leveling accuracy, thereby ensuring the leveling accuracy and improving the leveling effect.

[0030] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features described in the present disclosure can be combined with each other.
[0031] Combination Figures 1-6 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure provides a leveling pressure plate 10, including a plate body 11 and a pressure column group. One or more leveling loops are provided on the plate body 11, and the leveling loops correspond to the end face of the structural component to be leveled. The number of pressure column groups is one or more, and the pressure column groups are provided on the plate body 11. Multiple pressure columns 12 of each pressure column group are located on a corresponding leveling loop, and the end faces of multiple pressure columns 12 of each pressure column group form a leveling plane that is consistent with the end face to be leveled.
[0032] The leveling pressure disc 10 provided by the embodiment of the present disclosure can avoid structural deformation caused by mechanical cantilever structures and the like by using vertical pressure during leveling. The leveling surface formed by the end faces of the plurality of pressure columns 12 of the pressure column group is adapted to the end surface of the workpiece to be leveled, so that the end surface to be leveled can be subjected to balanced leveling pressure during leveling. Moreover, the pressure columns 12 are directly arranged on the disc body 11, and are firmly installed and will not be displaced during the process of downward pressure leveling, thereby ensuring the leveling accuracy and improving the leveling effect.
[0033] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the pressure column 12 is a columnar structural member, and the end thereof not arranged on the disc body 11 is the end. During downward pressure leveling, the end face serves as a pressure holding contact end face and directly contacts the end surface of the workpiece to be leveled.
[0034] In some embodiments, the pressure column 12 is arranged on the disc body 11 in a manner perpendicular to the disc face of the disc body 11, so that the pressure column 12 can apply vertical downward pressure to the end surface to be leveled.
[0035] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the leveling ring line arranged on the disc body 11 can be actually displayed, for example, by drawing the leveling ring line on the disc body 11 or by engraving the leveling ring line on the disc body 11. Of course, the leveling ring line can not be actually displayed (drawn or engraved), and the plurality of pressure columns 12 of a pressure column group can be arranged on the disc body 11 to embody the leveling ring line.
[0036] It can be understood that the leveling ring line corresponds to the end surface of the structural member to be leveled, and the shape and size of the leveling ring line are determined according to the shape and structure of the end surface of the structural member to be leveled. The normal projection of the leveling ring line on the end surface of the structural member to be leveled can be uniformly distributed with the shape of the end surface of the structural member to be leveled.
[0037] In a specific application, the end surface of the structural member to be leveled has a closed structure, and the size of the leveling ring line can be consistent with or smaller than the outer shape size of the end surface. In another specific application, the end surface of the structural member to be leveled has an open structure, and the size of the leveling ring line is greater than or equal to the open size of the end surface and smaller than or equal to the outer shape size of the end surface of the structural member to be leveled. That is, as long as the end faces of the pressure columns 12 arranged on the leveling ring line can contact the end surface to achieve pressure holding, the end surface outer shape size is the maximum size of the end surface.
[0038] Optionally, the shape of the leveling ring line can be consistent with the shape of the end surface of the structural member to be leveled. For example, when the shape of the end surface of the structural member to be leveled is circular, the leveling ring line is a consistent circle; when the shape of the end surface is square, the leveling ring line is a consistent square; and so on.
[0039] Optionally, the shape of the flattening ring line can be inconsistent with the shape of the end face of the structure to be flattened. For example, when the shape of the end face of the structure to be flattened is a square, the flattening ring line is a circle; when the shape of the end face of the structure to be flattened is a rectangle, the flattening ring line is an ellipse; when the shape of the end face of the structure to be flattened is a circle, the flattening ring line is a square; and so on. In the embodiment, as long as the normal projection of the flattening ring line on the end face of the structure to be flattened can form a balanced distribution with the shape of the end face of the structure to be flattened, the flattening ring line can be ensured.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, the flattening ring line is set according to the number of flattening times involved in the assembly process and the end face of the structure to be flattened for each flattening. Generally, the end face to be flattened is a closed structure, and the structures of the end faces to be flattened of the same workpiece are similar, so that one pressure column group can be arranged on the disc body 11 to realize the flattening function in the entire assembly process.
[0041] In the embodiment of the present disclosure, for the nested structure workpiece, a plurality of flattening ring lines are arranged on the disc body 11, and the plurality of flattening ring lines one-to-one correspond to the end faces of the plurality of layers of sleeves of the nested structure workpiece.
[0042] In actual application, the nested structure workpiece is generally divided into two parts, a first part workpiece and a second part workpiece, to facilitate assembly. In the assembly process, after the first part workpiece (or the second part workpiece) is nested and assembled, the second part workpiece (or the first part workpiece) is buckled to the first part workpiece (or the second part workpiece) to complete the assembly. Therefore, in order to ensure the assembly accuracy, the end face of each layer of sleeve of the first part workpiece or the second part workpiece in the nested assembly process needs to be flattened to ensure that the end face of the plurality of layers of sleeves of the first part workpiece or the second part workpiece is in a preset state, for example, in a horizontal state. Here, the division of the first part workpiece and the second part workpiece is not limited, and the two can be assembled to facilitate assembly. Optionally, the nested structure workpiece is divided according to the principle of symmetrical division according to the shape of the nested structure workpiece. For example, the upper and lower parts are divided into an upper part workpiece and a lower part workpiece, or the left and right parts are divided into a left part workpiece and a right part workpiece.
[0043] Optionally, in combination with Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the plurality of flattening ring lines arranged on the disc body 11 are concentrically arranged. For example, as shown in the figure, the plurality of flattening ring lines are concentrically arranged as a plurality of index circles. The end face of the plurality of layers of sleeves of the nested structure workpiece is a circular open structure. Figure 3
[0044] The number of flattening ring lines arranged on the disc body 11 is not limited and is determined according to the actual situation. For example, as shown in the figure, the plurality of flattening ring lines arranged on the disc body 11 are concentrically arranged. For example, as shown in the figure, the plurality of flattening ring lines are concentrically arranged as a plurality of index circles. The end face of the plurality of layers of sleeves of the nested structure workpiece is a circular open structure.
[0044] The number of flattening ring lines arranged on the disc body 11 is not limited and is determined according to the actual situation. For example, as shown in the figure, the plurality of flattening ring lines arranged on the disc body 11 are concentrically arranged. For example, as shown in the figure, the plurality of flattening ring lines are concentrically arranged as a plurality of index circles. The end face of the plurality of layers of sleeves of the nested structure workpiece is a circular open structure. Figure 2As shown, the disc body 11 is provided with seven leveling ring lines. From the outside to the inside, they are the first leveling ring line 111, the second leveling ring line 112, the third leveling ring line 113, the fourth leveling ring line 114, the fifth leveling ring line 115, the sixth leveling ring line 116 and the seventh leveling ring line 117; correspondingly, the pressure column groups include the first pressure column group (including a plurality of first pressure columns 121) located on the first leveling ring line 111, the second pressure column group (including a plurality of second pressure columns 122) located on the second leveling ring line 112, the third pressure column group (including a plurality of third pressure columns 123) located on the third leveling ring line 113, the fourth pressure column group (including a plurality of fourth pressure columns 124) located on the fourth leveling ring line 114, the fifth pressure column group (including a plurality of fifth pressure columns 125) located on the fifth leveling ring line 115, the sixth pressure column group (including a plurality of sixth pressure columns 126) located on the sixth leveling ring line 116, and the seventh pressure column group (including a plurality of seventh pressure columns) located on the seventh leveling ring line 117.
[0045] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 2 As shown, the leveling pressure disc 10 includes a plurality of pressure column groups, and the lengths l of the pressure columns 12 of the plurality of pressure column groups protruding from the disc body 11 are different. In this embodiment, the length l of the pressure column 12 protruding from the disc body 11 is the length from the disc surface of the disc body 11 on the installation side of the pressure column 12 to the end of the pressure column 12, that is, the horizontal height of the end surface of the pressure column 12 of the plurality of pressure column groups is different during the leveling operation. It can avoid interference between the pressure column groups during different leveling operations. The lengths of the pressure columns 12 of the plurality of pressure column groups are determined according to the actual leveling requirements of the workpiece.
[0046] In some specific applications, in each adjacent two pressure column groups, the length l of the pressure column 12 of the pressure column group located on the outside protruding from the disc body 11 外 is equal to or less than the length l of the pressure column 12 of the pressure column group located on the inside protruding from the disc body 11 内 . That is, the horizontal height (denoted as "outside horizontal height") of the end surface of the pressure column 12 of the pressure column group located on the outside is equal to or higher than the horizontal height (denoted as "inside horizontal height") of the end surface of the pressure column 12 of the pressure column group located on the inside during the leveling operation. Taking the nested structure workpiece as an example, in the assembly process of the nested structure workpiece, it is generally assembled in a nested manner from the outer layer to the inner layer, and the outer side sleeve is leveled first, and then the inner side sleeve is leveled in sequence. Therefore, by setting the outside horizontal height and the inside horizontal height, the interference problem during leveling of different sleeves can be avoided.
[0047] Alternatively, in each adjacent two pressure column groups, the length l of the pressure column 12 of the pressure column group located on the outside protruding from the disc body 11 外 is equal to the length l of the pressure column 12 of the pressure column group located on the inside protruding from the disc body 11.内 That is, the horizontal height of the end surface of the press column 12 of the press column group on the outer side is equal to the horizontal height of the end surface of the press column 12 of the press column group on the inner side.
[0048] The present embodiment is applicable to the case where the end surfaces of the multi-layered sets of the first part workpiece (or the second part workpiece) of the nested structure workpiece are flush or the end surfaces of the sets from the outer side to the inner side are higher. In this case, when the end surface of the set on the inner layer is leveled, the end surface of the set on the outer layer is leveled at the same time, and the end surfaces of the multi-layered sets are leveled.
[0049] Alternatively, as shown in Figs. 2 and 3, the length l Figure 4 of the press column 12 of the press column group on the outer side protruding from the disc body 11 is less than the length l Figure 5 of the press column 12 of the press column group on the inner side protruding from the disc body 11. 外 内 That is, the horizontal height of the end surface of the press column 12 of the press column group on the outer side is higher than the horizontal height of the end surface of the press column 12 of the press column group on the inner side.
[0050] The present embodiment is applicable to the case where the end surfaces of the multi-layered sets of the first part workpiece (or the second part workpiece) of the nested structure workpiece are flush or the end surfaces of the sets from the outer side to the inner side are higher. In this case, when the end surface of the set on the inner layer is leveled, the end surface of the set on the outer layer is leveled at the same time, and the end surfaces of the multi-layered sets are leveled.
[0051] In addition, the present embodiment is also applicable to the case where the end surfaces of the multi-layered sets of the first part workpiece (or the second part workpiece) of the nested structure workpiece are lower from the outer side to the inner side. In this case, the height difference of the end surface of the press column 12 of the press column group between the adjacent two press column groups is equal to or greater than a first set value, which is the height difference of the end surfaces of the adjacent two sets corresponding to the adjacent two press column groups. When the height difference of the end surface of the press column 12 of the press column group between the adjacent two press column groups is equal to the first set value, the end surface of the set on the outer layer is leveled at the same time as the end surface of the set on the inner layer is leveled, and the end surfaces of the multi-layered sets are leveled. When the height difference of the end surface of the press column 12 of the press column group between the adjacent two press column groups is greater than the first set value, the end surface of the set on the outer layer is not leveled when the end surface of the set on the inner layer is leveled.
[0052] Combining 3 to Figure 5 The flattening operation of the adjacent two sets of nested structure workpieces is described, wherein, Figure 4 and Figure 5 The flattening pressure plate 10B-B in the cross-sectional structure diagram only shows the pressure column 12 located on the cross-sectional line to more clearly show the flattening process.
[0053] Among the adjacent two sets of nested structure workpieces, the first set 61 on the outer side corresponds to the first pressure column group located on the first flattening ring line 111, and the first pressure column group includes a plurality of first pressure columns 121; the second set 62 on the inner side corresponds to the second pressure column group located on the second flattening ring line 112, and the second pressure column group includes a plurality of second pressure columns 122. As shown in Figure 4 When the first set 61 is flattened by using the first pressure column group, the internal set is not assembled, the inside is empty, and the pressure columns 12 of the remaining pressure column groups will not interfere. As shown in Figure 5 When the second set 62 is flattened by using the second pressure column group, the length of the second pressure column 122 is greater than the length of the first pressure column 121, so that when the second set 62 is flattened, the first pressure column 121 on the outer side will not contact the first set 61, achieving flattening of the second set 62 without interference with the first set 61. Of course, the first pressure column 121 on the outer side can also be adapted to contact the first set 61 when the second set 62 is flattened, so that the first set 61 and the second set 62 are flattened at the same time, the relative parallelism of the two sets is maintained, and the parallelism precision between the sets is improved.
[0054] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of flattening ring lines are provided on the disc body 11, and the spacing between the adjacent two flattening ring lines is not limited and is determined according to the relative position of the corresponding end face to be flattened. For example, for nested structure workpieces, the spacing between the adjacent two sets of end faces to be flattened is determined. When the number of flattening ring lines is equal to or greater than 3, the number of spacings between every two flattening ring lines is equal to or greater than 2, and the sizes of the plurality of spacings can be the same, different, partially the same and partially different, which is not limited.
[0055] In some embodiments, in combination with Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in Figure 3 For example, the flattening ring line is circular, and the radial lines where the pressure columns 12 provided on the adjacent two flattening ring lines do not coincide. In this way, on the one hand, the problem of interference between the pressure columns 12 caused by the small spacing between the adjacent two flattening ring lines can be avoided, and on the other hand, the problem of reduced strength of the disc body 11 caused by the opening of two adjacent and close mounting holes on the same radial line can be avoided.
[0056] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a plurality of pressing columns 12 are arranged on each leveling ring line, and the plurality of pressing columns 12 are distributed on the leveling ring line without limitation, and are arranged according to the principle that they can apply balanced pressure to the belt leveling end face, so as to ensure that the to-be-leveled sleeve assembly will not be tilted on one side and ensure the leveling effect.
[0057] Optionally, the plurality of pressing columns 12 are symmetrically arranged on the leveling ring line with the center of the leveling ring line as the symmetric point. That is, the number of pressing columns 12 in each pressing column group is at least 2, and the pressing columns 12 are symmetrically arranged with the center of the leveling ring line as the symmetric point, so as to ensure that uniform downward pressure is formed on the to-be-leveled end face, and the problem that the workpiece is tilted on one side due to uneven downward pressure does not occur, thereby ensuring the leveling effect.
[0058] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the number of pressing columns 12 in each pressing column group is not less than 2. Optionally, the number of pressing columns 12 is not less than 3. Optionally, the number of pressing columns 12 is not less than 4. The number of pressing columns 12 is not limited in principle, and the upper limit value is not limited. The more the number of pressing columns 12, the more the contact points with the to-be-leveled end face. It can be understood that when the number of pressing columns 12 is sufficient, the pressing columns 12 are arranged closely to form a ring-shaped pressing ring.
[0059] In some embodiments, the number of pressing columns 12 in each pressing column group is 2-10. The specific number of pressing columns 12 is determined according to the shape and size of the leveling ring line.
[0060] Optionally, the number of pressing columns 12 is 2-8.
[0061] Optionally, the number of pressing columns 12 is 3-6. In the embodiments, the number of pressing columns 12 can be 3, 4, 5 or 6.
[0062] Optionally, the number of pressing columns 12 is 4.
[0063] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, during the downward leveling, the end face of the pressing column 12 contacts and holds on the to-be-leveled end face, so the end face of the pressing column 12 is arranged to be adapted to the shape of the contact surface of the to-be-leveled end face, so as to increase the contact area and improve the stability of the holding.
[0064] Optionally, the end face of the pressing column 12 is a plane. In the embodiments, when the pressing column 12 is arranged on the disc body 11 and the end face of the pressing column 12 is a horizontal plane, the leveling plane constructed by the pressing column group is a plane, which is suitable for the case that the to-be-leveled end face is a plane. When the pressing column 12 is arranged on the disc body 11 and the end face of the pressing column 12 is an inclined plane, the leveling plane constructed by the pressing column group is a pyramid surface, which is suitable for the case that the to-be-leveled end face is a prism surface.
[0065] Optionally, the end face of the pressing column 12 is a curved surface. The leveling plane constructed by the pressing column group in the embodiments of the present disclosure is a curved surface, which is suitable for the case that the to-be-leveled end face is a curved surface.
[0066] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the end faces of the plurality of pressing columns 12 of the pressing column group are adapted to the end faces to be flattened of the workpiece, and the end faces to be flattened can be located in the same horizontal plane or different horizontal planes. Therefore, the plurality of pressing columns 12 of the same pressing column group are adaptively arranged according to the shape and height of the end faces to be flattened, so that the end faces of the plurality of pressing columns 12 construct an adaptive flattened surface, and the end faces not in the same horizontal plane can be subjected to the same flattening pressure during flattening, so as to achieve accurate flattening. That is, the horizontal heights of the ends of the plurality of pressing columns 12 of the pressing column group are the same or different. The arrangement can be made according to the actual situation.
[0067] In some embodiments, the lengths l of the plurality of pressing columns 12 protruding from the disc body 11 are the same in the same pressing column group. Alternatively, when the end faces of the pressing columns 12 are flat, the flattened surface constructed is flat, which is suitable for the case that the end faces to be flattened are flat.
[0068] In some embodiments, the lengths l of the plurality of pressing columns 12 protruding from the disc body 11 are different in the same pressing column group. Alternatively, when the end faces of the pressing columns 12 are flat, the flattened surface constructed is non-flat, which is suitable for the case that the end faces to be flattened are non-flat, for example, the case that the end faces to be flattened are stepped.
[0069] In some embodiments, a plurality of fixing holes are formed on the disc body 11 along the flattening ring line, for fixedly arranging the pressing columns 12. The positions of the fixing holes are determined according to the arrangement mode of the pressing columns 12. It can be understood that the fixed ends of the pressing columns 12 are provided with plug-in joints 1203. The plug-in joints 1203 are fixedly inserted into the fixing holes on the disc body 11.
[0070] In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the specific structural form of the disc body 11 is not limited, and the disc body 11 can only be capable of uniformly transmitting the pressing force to the pressing columns 12 during the vertical pressing flattening process. In some embodiments, the disc body 11 is in the form of a flat plate. Alternatively, the disc body 11 is in the form of a circular flat plate.
[0071] In some embodiments, the disc body 11 is provided with a weight-reducing structure. The weight-reducing structure can reduce the influence of the gravity of the disc body 11 on the pressing force. Alternatively, the weight-reducing structure includes a plurality of weight-reducing holes 110, which penetrate the disc body 11 in the thickness direction and avoid the arrangement positions of the pressing columns 12.

In this embodiment, the flattening position of the flattening pressure plate refers to the position where the end of the pressing column of the flattening pressure plate contacts the end face to be flattened and exerts a certain flattening pressure on the end face to be flattened.
