[0050] To make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects of the present invention easy to understand, the door panel assembly system of the present invention will be specifically described below in conjunction with embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0051] <Example>
[0052] Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the door panel assembly system in this embodiment.
[0053] like Figure 1 As shown, the door panel assembly system 1000 includes a door panel placement device 10, a screw-driving device 30, a riveting device 40, a snap-fit installation device 50, a door panel removal device 60, a processing conveying device 71, a return conveying device 72, and a mold storage device 100.
[0054] The door plate placing device 10 is the first station in the system and is used to receive the automobile door plate workpiece to be assembled. The screwing device 30 is the second station and is used to screw. The riveting device 40 is the third station and is used to rivet. The buckle installing device 50 is the fourth station and is used to install the buckle. The door plate taking-out device 60 is the fifth station and is used to deliver the assembled automobile door plate workpiece. The automobile door plate workpiece to be assembled is placed in a mold device for door plate assembly (hereinafter referred to as a mold device) so as to flow between the stations. The conveying device for processing 71 is arranged in the second to fourth stations and is used to convey the automobile door plate workpiece to be assembled to the stations in sequence for corresponding assembly operations. The backflow conveying device 72 is also arranged in the second to fourth stations and is arranged below the conveying device for processing 71 and is used to backflow the corresponding mold device by using the space below after the assembly of one automobile door plate workpiece is completed. The mold storage device 100 is used to recycle and temporarily store the used mold device and is used to take out the corresponding mold device and place it in the assembly station.
[0055] The structure and function of each part will be described in detail below.
[0056] Figure 2 is a perspective view of the door plate placing device in the embodiment.
[0057] Figure 3 is a perspective view of part of the structure of the door plate placing device in the embodiment.
[0058] As shown in Figures 2-3 , the door plate placing device 10 is the first station in the system and is used to place the mold device 20. The structure thereof corresponds to the design of the mold device 20, and therefore the structure and function of the mold device 20 will be described first below.
[0059] Figure 4 is a perspective view of the mold device in the embodiment.
[0060] Figure 5 is a perspective view of the mold device in the open state in the embodiment.
[0061] As shown in Figures 4-5 , the mold device 20 includes a support unit 21, a cover plate 22, and a connecting unit 23.
[0062] The support unit 21 includes a support frame 211, a support mold tire (not shown in the figure), and a plurality of mold tire fixing members 212. The support frame 211 is welded by square steel bars and steel sheets and is used to place the support mold tire.
[0063] Figure 6 is a structural view of the bottom guide block of the mold device for door plate assembly in the embodiment.
[0064] As shown in Figure 6 The support frame 211 is provided with four guide blocks 2111 below, and a downward circular groove is formed in the middle of the guide block 2111. When the mold device 20 is transported to the assembly station, the output ends of the four jacking cylinders on the assembly station can be respectively embedded in the four circular grooves to jack up the mold device 20, thereby positioning and fixing the mold device 20.
[0065] The plurality of mold tire fixing members 212 are L-shaped metal pieces, respectively installed above the square rods of the support frame 211, and face different directions, wherein the structure for installing the support mold tire is formed between the plurality of mold tire fixing members 212. The support mold tire is clamped between the plurality of mold tire fixing members 212.
[0066] The cover plate 22 is rotatably connected to the support unit 21, used to press the door plate workpiece on the support unit 21, thereby fixing the door plate workpiece. The cover plate 22 includes a cover plate frame 221 welded by aluminum profiles, a pair of limiting members 222, a plurality of pressing heads 223, and a U-shaped opening and closing arm 224.
[0067] The pair of limiting members 222 are L-shaped metal pieces, respectively installed on both sides of the cover plate frame 221. When the cover plate 22 is rotated to the position of the support unit 21, the end portion of the limiting member 222 extends and abuts with the square rod on both sides of the cover plate frame 221, thereby achieving the limiting effect.
[0068] The pressing head 223 is composed of a metal round rod and an elastic member wrapped at the end of the metal round rod. The other end of the metal round rod is welded to the cover plate frame 221. The metal round rod is perpendicular to the surface direction of the cover plate frame 221 and extends towards the support unit 21. The arrangement of the plurality of pressing heads 223 and the extension length of each pressing head 223 are matched with the upper surface of the automobile door plate workpiece to be pressed and fixed. The plurality of pressing heads 223 are used to abut with different parts of the upper surface of the automobile door plate workpiece when the cover plate 22 is rotated and closed, thereby pressing and fixing the automobile door plate workpiece.
[0069] Figure 7 It is a structure diagram of the U-shaped opening and closing arm cooperating with the rotary driving mechanism in this embodiment.
[0070] As shown in Figure 7As shown, the U-shaped opening and closing arm 224 is a substantially U-shaped metal piece, which is fixedly installed on one side of the cover plate frame 221 connected with the support unit 21 by a connecting piece such as a screw, and the opening of the U-shaped opening and closing arm 224 faces outward, and an obtuse angle is formed between the U-shaped opening and closing arm 224 and the cover plate frame 221. When the cover plate 22 is closed, that is, the face direction of the cover plate frame 221 is substantially consistent with the horizontal direction, the opening of the U-shaped opening and closing arm 224 is inclined upward. The U-shaped opening and closing arm 224 is used to be inserted with the rotary driving mechanism in the assembly station, so as to drive the cover plate frame 221 to rotate under the driving of the rotary driving mechanism.
[0071] The connecting unit 23 is used to connect the support unit 21 and the cover plate 22, and the connecting unit 23 comprises a connecting support 231, a rotating shaft 232, two pairs of bearing assemblies 233, and a damping assembly 234.
[0072] The connecting support 231 is a metal support, which is installed on one side of the support frame 211, and the rotating shaft 232 is installed on the connecting support 231. The extension direction of the rotating shaft 232 is consistent with the extension direction of the square rod of the side of the support frame 211. The cover plate frame 221 is installed on the rotating shaft 232 through the two pairs of bearing assemblies 233, and can rotate along the rotating shaft 232. The middle part of one side of the cover plate frame 221 is connected to the connecting support 231 through the damping assembly 234, and the damping assembly 234 can enable the cover plate 22 to receive a certain resistance when rotating, so as to limit the rotating speed thereof.
[0073] It should be noted that since there are various models of door plate products, there are various different mold devices 20 corresponding thereto, the structure of the cover plate frame 221, the structure and distribution of the pressing head 223 are different, but the overall size of all the mold devices 20 is consistent, so the same structure of the conveying mechanism can be used to transfer them.
[0074] In addition, in the embodiment, an electronic tag (RFID) is arranged on the automobile door plate workpiece, and the model of the automobile door plate workpiece can be identified by reading the electronic tag. A product detection sensor (not shown in the figure) for reading the electronic tag is also arranged on the mold device 20, and the product detection sensor is transmitted with electric energy by a wireless energy stick. An electronic tag is also arranged at the bottom of the mold device 20, and the model of the mold device 20 can be identified by reading the electronic tag. A mold detection sensor for reading the electronic tag is arranged in the door plate placing device 10.
[0075] As shown in Figures 2-3 The door plate placing device 10 comprises a door plate placing mechanism 11, a door plate placing lifting mechanism 15, and a door plate placing blocking mechanism (not shown due to structural obstruction).
[0076] The door plate placing mechanism 11 is used for positioning, opening and closing and pushing the mold device 20 in the current station, and comprises a mold pushing part 12, a jacking positioning part 13 and a rotating driving part 14.
[0077] Figure 8 Fig. 3 is a perspective view of the mold pushing part in the embodiment.
[0078] As shown in Fig. 3, the mold pushing part 12 comprises two chain conveying tracks 121, a transmission shaft 122 and a chain track driving motor 123. Figure 8
[0079] The two chain conveying tracks 121 are arranged in parallel, and the distance between them matches the width of the mold device 20. When the mold device 20 is placed on the chain conveying tracks 121, the mold device 20 is placed on the two chain conveying tracks 121 respectively at both sides in the width direction, so that the position of the mold device 20 in the current station can be moved. The chain conveying track comprises a driving gear and a ring chain sleeved on the driving gear, and the specific structure is prior art, which will not be described here. In the embodiment, the chain conveying track 121 adopts a double-speed chain, which can speed up the conveying pace.
[0080] In addition, the outer side of the two chain conveying tracks 121 is provided with an outer baffle 124, and the height of the upper edge of the outer baffle 124 is higher than the upper end surface of the chain conveying track 121, so as to form a clamping structure for the mold device 20 on the chain conveying track 121, avoiding the inclination or even falling of the mold device 20 during conveying, and also protecting the chain.
[0081] The two ends of the transmission shaft 122 are connected to the two driving gears of the two chain conveying tracks 121 through bearing assemblies respectively, so as to keep the conveying speeds of the two chain conveying tracks 121 consistent, thereby stably conveying the mold device 20.
[0082] The chain track driving motor 123 is used for driving the chain of the chain conveying track 121 to rotate. Since the transmission shaft 122 is arranged, under the driving of the chain track driving motor 123, the two chain conveying tracks 121 rotate synchronously in the same direction.
[0083] The jacking positioning part 13 includes four jacking cylinders 131, which are arranged on the bracket in the door panel placing device 10, are distributed on the four corners of the rectangle, are located at the same vertical height, and correspond to the arrangement of the four positioning blocks 2111 at the bottom of the mold device 20. The output end of the jacking cylinder 131 matches the circular positioning groove of the positioning block 2111 and can be embedded in the circular positioning groove. When jacking positioning is performed, the four jacking cylinders 131 simultaneously jack up, the output end abuts against the bottom surface of the circular positioning groove, and thus the mold device 20 is stably jacked up.
[0084] When the mold device 20 is jacked up and positioned, the cover plate 22 can be opened to perform inspection or assembly work of the automobile door panel workpiece at the current work station.
[0085] As shown in FIG. 4, the rotary driving part 14 is used to rotate the cover plate 22 of the mold device 20 to open or close, and includes a rotary driving motor 141, a rotary transmission assembly 142, and a rotary limiting assembly 143. Figure 6
[0086] The rotary driving motor 141 is used to drive the cover plate 22 to rotate.
[0087] The rotary transmission assembly 142 includes a bearing 1421, an opening and closing rod 1422, and a circular pushing piece 1423. The opening and closing rod 1422 has two circular ends, one end is larger than the other end, gradually narrows from the larger end to the smaller end, and a circular mounting hole is formed in the larger end. The opening and closing rod 1422 is installed on the output end of the rotary driving motor 141 through the circular mounting hole and the bearing 1421, and can swing in the vertical direction under the drive of the rotary driving motor 141. The circular pushing piece 1423 is rotatably installed on the smaller end of the opening and closing rod 1422 through bolts, nuts, or other connecting pieces, and the diameter of the circular pushing piece 1423 matches the opening width of the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped opening and closing arm 224 of the mold device 20, can be embedded in the U-shaped opening, and pushes one side of the U-shaped opening, thereby driving the cover plate 22 to open and close.
[0088] In addition, the setting of the initial position of the opening and closing rod 1422 corresponds to the setting of the jacking position of the jacking positioning part 32. When the mold device 20 is jacked up to the position by the jacking positioning part 32, the circular pushing piece 1423 of the opening and closing rod 1422 is embedded in the U-shaped opening of the U-shaped opening and closing arm 224 of the mold device 20.
[0089] The rotation limiting assembly 143 includes four strip hole plates 1431 and four proximity sensors 1432 for limiting the maximum stroke of the opening and closing rod 1422. The proximity sensors 1432 are all installed in the strip-shaped holes of the strip hole plates 1431, two of the proximity sensors 1432 are installed above the output end of the rotary drive motor 141, and the other two are installed below. When the proximity sensors 1432 above and below sense the opening and closing rod 1422, it means that the cover plate 22 has been opened and closed to the position.
[0090] Figure 9 is a perspective view of the door plate placing lifting mechanism in the embodiment.
[0091] As shown in Figure 2 , 9 , the door plate placing lifting mechanism 15 includes a support 151, a plurality of vertical guide rails 152, a bracket 153, a lifting transmission assembly 154, a lifting drive motor 155, and a counterweight cylinder 156.
[0092] The support 151 includes two shorter front supporting rods 1511 and two longer rear supporting rods 1512 to provide support for lifting. Four vertical guide rails 152 are installed on the four supporting rods respectively. The bracket 153 is a metal frame, which is L-shaped from the side view, and a plurality of sliding blocks 1531 are installed thereon and slidably embedded with the four vertical guide rails 152 to form a guide fit. In addition, a mold detection sensor (not shown in the figure) is also provided on the bracket 153 for reading the electronic tag on the mold device 20 placed on the bracket 153.
[0093] The lifting drive motor 155 drives the bracket 153 to lift through the lifting transmission assembly 154.
[0094] The lifting transmission assembly 154 includes a lead screw 1541 extending in the vertical direction arranged between the two rear supporting rods 1512, a lead screw nut (not shown in the figure) installed on the lead screw 1541, and an adapter block 1542 installed on the lead screw 1541 and abutted by the lead screw nut. The bracket 153 is arranged on the lead screw 1541 through the adapter block 1542. Under the drive of the lifting drive motor 155, the lead screw 1541 drives the bracket 153 to lift, which is not described in detail as it is prior art.
[0095] The counterweight cylinder 156 is arranged on the lifting drive motor 155 for lifting the lifting drive motor 155 upward, thereby reducing the weight on one side of the lifting drive motor 155.
[0096] Figure 10 is a perspective view of the door plate placing blocking mechanism in the embodiment.
[0097] As shown in Figure 10As shown, the door panel placement blocking mechanism 17 is arranged between two chain conveyor tracks 121 and is located on the side closer to the next station to prevent the mold device 20 from being transported forward by mistake. The door panel placement blocking mechanism 17 includes a blocking support 171, a blocking member 172, a blocking wheel 173, and a blocking cylinder 174.
[0098] Both the blocking support 171 and the blocking member 172 are irregularly shaped metal parts. The blocking support 171 is mounted on the upper end of the blocking cylinder 174, and the output end (piston rod) of the blocking cylinder 174 passes through the through hole in the middle of the support 171. The protruding part in the middle of the blocking member 172 is hinged to the blocking support 171 and can rotate relative to the blocking support 171. One end of the blocking member 172 abuts against the output end of the blocking cylinder 174, and the other end is equipped with a pair of blocking wheels 173. Figure 10 In the current state, the output end of the blocking cylinder 174 retracts, and the blocking wheel 173 is higher than the height of the two chain conveyor tracks 121, thereby blocking the mold device 20 placed on the chain conveyor tracks 121. When the output end of the blocking cylinder 174 extends, it pushes the blocking member 172 to rotate, causing the blocking wheel 173 at one end to rotate to a height lower than the upper surface of the chain conveyor track 121, thereby allowing the placed mold device 20 to pass.
[0099] Figure 11 This is a perspective view of the check mechanism for door panel placement in this embodiment.
[0100] like Figure 11 As shown, the door panel placement blocking mechanism 16 is arranged between two chain conveyor tracks 121 and located on the side closer to the previous station to prevent the mold device 20 from accidentally flowing back. The door panel placement blocking mechanism 16 includes a base 161, a blocking support 162, a connecting rod 163, a blocking member 164, and a blocking drive cylinder 165.
[0101] The base 161 is mounted on the bracket 153.
[0102] The blocking support 162 is an irregularly shaped metal part, which is mounted on the base 161 by screws or other connecting parts. The blocking support 162 has a beveled edge 1621 on the side near the blocking member 164, and the inclination angle of the beveled edge 1621 corresponds to the setting of the blocking member 164. A square groove 1622 is formed in the upper part of the blocking support 162, and the square groove 1622 runs through the conveying direction.
[0103] The connecting rod 163 is a square metal rod, one end of which is arranged in the square groove 1622 of the blocking support 162 and is rotatably connected in the square groove 1622 through a rotating shaft, and the other end is used for mounting the blocking piece 164. When the connecting rod 163 is rotated to extend in the horizontal direction, there is a gap between the connecting rod 163 and the lower edge of the square groove 1622, and when the connecting rod 163 abuts against the lower edge of the square groove 1622, the connecting rod 163 extends downwardly and obliquely.
[0104] The blocking piece 164 is a special-shaped metal piece, which has a counterweight part 1641 and an abutting blocking part 1642. The counterweight part 1641 is located at the lower side and is used for mounting a counterweight piece. In the embodiment, two counterweight pieces 166 made of metal are mounted on one side of the counterweight part 1641. The abutting blocking part 1642 extends upwardly and obliquely from the upper side of the counterweight part 1641, and as viewed from the side, the abutting blocking part 1642 gradually narrows outwardly from the counterweight part 1641, forming a wedge-shaped end part, which is used for blocking the mold device 20. A through pivot hole 1643 is formed at the connection between the counterweight part 1641 and the abutting blocking part 1642, and the blocking piece 164 is rotatably mounted at one end of the connecting rod 163 through the pivot hole 1643 and a corresponding rotating shaft.
[0105] In addition, a limiting groove 1644 is arranged on one side of the wedge-shaped end part of the blocking piece 164, the limiting groove 1644 extends from the abutting blocking part 1642 to the counterweight part 1641, the limiting groove 1644 is closed at one end of the abutting blocking part 1642 and is through downwardly at one end of the counterweight part 1641, and the limiting groove 1644 is used for limiting the rotation range of the blocking piece 164. When the blocking piece 164 is rotated to the position in the counterclockwise direction, the abutting blocking part 1642 (wedge-shaped end part) abuts against the bevel part 1621 of the blocking support 162, and the upper edge of the limiting groove 1644 abuts against the connecting rod 163, so that the blocking piece 164 cannot be further rotated counterclockwise; when the blocking piece 164 is rotated to the position in the clockwise direction, the lower edge of the limiting groove 1644 abuts against the output end of the blocking driving cylinder 165, so that the blocking piece 164 cannot be further rotated clockwise.
[0106] The blocking driving cylinder 165 is used for driving the blocking piece 164 to block or release the mold device 20, and the blocking driving cylinder 165 is embedded in the base 161, and the piston rod 1651 of the blocking driving cylinder 165 extends upwardly from the base 161. Figure 3The diagram shows the structure of the door panel placement blocking mechanism in the blocking state. At this time, the piston rod 1651 of the blocking drive cylinder 165 extends, and the upper end of the piston rod 1651 abuts against the connecting rod 163, keeping the connecting rod 163 in a horizontally extending position. The side of the piston rod 1651 abuts against the limiting groove 1644 of the blocking member 164. At this time, the abutting blocking part 1642 of the blocking member 164 abuts against the side of the mold device 20, and under the action of the piston rod 1651, the blocking member 164 cannot rotate clockwise, thereby blocking the mold device 20 and keeping the mold device 20 at a predetermined position in the work station.
[0107] Figure 12 This is a schematic diagram of the reverse release structure of the door panel placement blocking mechanism in this embodiment, that is, releasing the mold device 20 in the return flow direction.
[0108] like Figure 12 As shown, since a counterweight 166 is provided on one side of the blocking member 164, in the initial state (i.e. when the piston rod 1651 of the blocking drive cylinder 165 retracts), the connecting rod 163 extends downward at a slight angle, and the uppermost end of the wedge-shaped end of the blocking member 164 is approximately flush with the uppermost end of the blocking support member 162, thereby releasing the mold device 20 along the D3 direction.
[0109] Figure 13 This is a schematic diagram of the door panel placement blocking mechanism in this embodiment, which releases the mold device 20 along the processing and conveying direction.
[0110] like Figure 13 As shown, when the piston rod 1651 of the blocking drive cylinder 165 extends, when the mold device 20 moves in the direction shown in D4 past the door panel placement blocking mechanism 16, the mold device 20 presses down the abutting blocking part 1642 of the blocking member 164, and the blocking member 164 rotates counterclockwise to release the mold device 20, that is, it has a one-way release function.
[0111] In addition, such as Figure 2 As shown, the door panel placement device 10 also includes a camera (not shown) mounted on top and an operation terminal 19. In this embodiment, the camera is a camera used to photograph the automotive door panel workpiece in the current workstation for quality inspection; the operation terminal 19 is used by the operator to start and control the corresponding operation process of the current workstation.
[0112] Figure 14 This is a perspective view of the screw-driving device in this embodiment.
[0113] like Figure 14As shown, the screwing device 30 as the second station includes a screwing pressing mechanism 31, a screwing moving mechanism 32 and a screwing mechanism (not shown due to structural obstruction).
[0114] Figure 15 is a perspective view of the screwing pressing mechanism in the embodiment.
[0115] Figure 16 is a state schematic view of the screwing pressing mechanism pressing the mold device for assembling the door panel in the embodiment.
[0116] As shown, Figures 15-16 the screwing pressing mechanism 31 is installed on the support and can press the mold device 20. The screwing pressing mechanism 31 includes a pressing unit 311, a jacking unit 312 and a protective baffle 313.
[0117] The pressing unit 311 includes a plurality of pressing blocks 3111 and can press the cover plate 22. In the embodiment, the number of the pressing blocks 3111 is two, and the two pressing blocks 3111 are symmetrically arranged above the cover plate 22 and are respectively used for pressing the two side edges in the length direction of the cover plate 22.
[0118] Each pressing block 3111 includes a main plate 31111, a bottom plate 31112 arranged at the bottom of the main plate 31111 and a reinforcing rib 31113 connecting the main plate 31111 and the bottom plate 31112. The main plate 31111 is connected to the support, and the reinforcing rib 31113 is arranged at the side of the main plate 31111. In the embodiment, the reinforcing rib 31113 is two and is arranged at the two ends of the main plate 31111.
[0119] The jacking unit 312 can push the mold device 20 to rise, and includes a plurality of jacking blocks 3121 and a jacking driving assembly 3122.
[0120] The jacking block 3121 is arranged below the support unit and is used for supporting the mold device 20. In the embodiment, the jacking block 3121 is a rectangular block, and four jacking blocks 21 are symmetrically arranged in pairs, which can stably support the four corner parts of the mold device 20 when jacking.
[0121] As described above, the bottom of the support unit 21 has four positioning blocks 2111, and the four positioning blocks 2111 have positioning grooves. The jacking unit 312 further includes positioning columns 3123 arranged at the top of each jacking block 3121 and matched with the positioning grooves, which are used for positioning the mold device 20. In the embodiment, the positioning columns 3123 are two and are arranged on the two jacking blocks 3121 on the diagonal line.
[0122] The number of the driving assemblies 3122 for jacking is equal to the number of the jacking blocks 3121, and the driving assemblies 3122 for jacking are connected with the jacking blocks 3121 one by one, which can drive the jacking blocks 3121 to lift the mold device 20, so that the cover plate 22 abuts against the pressing block 3111. Each driving assembly 3122 for jacking includes a cylinder main body 31221, a push rod 31222, and two guide rods 31223. The cylinder main body 31221 has guide channels 31221a on both sides which are matched with the guide rods 31223. One end of the guide rods 31223 is movably arranged in the cylinder main body 31221 through the guide channels 31221a, and the other end is connected with the jacking block 3121. The push rod 31222 is parallel to the two guide rods 31223, one end of the push rod 31222 is connected with the cylinder main body 31221, and the other end is connected with the jacking block 3121. The push rod 31222 is driven by the cylinder main body 31221 to lift, thereby driving the jacking block 3121 to lift.
[0123] A protective baffle 313 is arranged above the cylinder main body 31221 and is installed on the support through a plurality of fixing members, which can protect the cylinder main body 31221. The protective baffle 313 is provided with jacking holes 3131 matched with the jacking blocks 3121, which can be passed through by the jacking blocks 3121 when lifting.
[0124] When the mold device 20 with the automobile door plate workpiece is transferred to the current station, the four driving assemblies 3122 for jacking drive the four jacking blocks 3121 to synchronously lift, the positioning columns 3123 on the top of the jacking blocks 3121 are inserted into the positioning grooves at the bottom of the support unit 21 to position the mold device 20, the jacking blocks 3121 continue to lift to lift the mold device 202 on the upper conveying unit 711, until the cover plate 22 abuts against the pressing block 3111, so that the mold device 20 and the automobile door plate workpiece therein are pressed. Then, the screw driving operation of the current station can be performed. That is, when the second station performs the screw driving operation, the mold device 20 does not need to be opened, but can be operated through the gap between the metal rods of the cover plate 22. Similarly, the assembly operations of the third and fourth stations also do not need to open the cover plate 22. In the first station, the cover plate 22 needs to be opened to put in the automobile door plate workpiece, and in the fifth station, the cover plate 22 needs to be opened to take a photograph of the assembled automobile door plate workpiece for inspection.
[0125] After the process of the current station is completed, the jacking unit 312 lowers the mold device 20, and then the mold device 20 is transferred to the next station under the action of the upper conveying unit 711.
[0126] The end shape of the screw driving mechanism is similar to that of a screwdriver, and can rotate and press down to drive the screw. The screw driving mechanism is a prior art, and will not be described in detail.
[0127] Figure 17is a perspective view of the screwing moving mechanism in the embodiment.
[0128] As shown in Figure 17 , the screwing moving mechanism 32 is used to drive the screwing mechanism to move to each predetermined screwing position. The screwing moving mechanism 32 comprises a first horizontal moving unit 321, a second horizontal moving unit 322 and a screwing lifting unit 323.
[0129] Figure 18 is a perspective view of the first horizontal moving unit in the embodiment.
[0130] As shown in Figure 18 , the first horizontal moving unit 321 comprises a first driving member, a first guide rail 3212 and a first moving member 3213 movably arranged on the first guide rail 3212. In the embodiment, the first driving member is a motor connected with the first moving member 3213 through a screw structure, thereby driving the first moving member 3213 to move along the first guide rail 3212. The first moving member 3213 is two, sleeved on the same first guide rail 3212.
[0131] The second horizontal moving unit 322 is arranged on the first moving member 3213, and the number of the second horizontal moving unit 322 is equal to the number of the first moving member 3213. In the embodiment, the second horizontal moving unit 322 is two, respectively corresponding to the two first moving members 3213.
[0132] Figure 19 is a perspective view of the second horizontal moving unit in the embodiment.
[0133] As shown in Figure 19 , each second horizontal moving unit 322 comprises a second driving member 3221, a second guide rail 3222 and a second moving member 3223 movably arranged on the second guide rail 3222. In the embodiment, the second driving member 3221 is a motor connected with the second moving member 3223 through a screw structure, thereby driving the second moving member 3223 to move along the second guide rail 3222. The length direction of the second guide rail 3222 is perpendicular to the length direction of the first guide rail 3212.
[0134] Two screwing lifting units 323 are arranged on the second moving member 3223, respectively corresponding to the two second horizontal moving units 322.
[0135] Figure 20 is a perspective view of the screwing lifting unit in the embodiment.
[0136] As shown in Figure 20As shown, each screw-driving lifting unit 323 includes a lifting drive component 3231, a lifting rail 3232, and a mounting component 3233 that is movably mounted on the lifting rail 3232. The lifting drive component 3231 is a motor connected to the mounting component 3233 via a lead screw structure, used to drive the mounting component 3233 to move along the lifting rail 3232. The length direction of the lifting rail 3232 is perpendicular to the plane containing the first guide rail 3212 and the second guide rail 3222. The mounting component 3233 is used to mount the screw-driving mechanism 33, enabling the screw-driving mechanism 33 to move synchronously under the drive of the mounting component 3233, thereby performing screw-driving operations at different points on the automotive door panel workpiece.
[0137] The riveting device 40 serves as the third station and includes a riveting clamping mechanism, a riveting moving mechanism, and a riveting mechanism. The structure of the riveting clamping mechanism is the same as that of the screw-driving clamping mechanism 31, and the structure of the riveting moving mechanism is the same as that of the screw-driving moving mechanism 32. The riveting mechanism is a structure in the prior art and will not be described in detail here.
[0138] Figure 21 This is a top view of the structure of the snap-fit mounting device in this embodiment.
[0139] Figure 22 yes Figure 21 A magnified view of the inner part of the middle frame C.
[0140] like Figures 21-22 As shown, the snap-fit installation device 50 serves as the fourth station and includes a snap-fit installation clamping mechanism 51, a snap-fit installation support 52, a snap-fit feeding part 53, a snap-fit installation mechanism 54, and multiple sensors 55.
[0141] The structure of the clamping mechanism 51 for buckle installation is the same as that of the clamping mechanism 31 for screwing, and will not be described again.
[0142] Figure 23 This is a perspective view of the support part for snap-fit installation in this embodiment.
[0143] like Figure 23 As shown, the snap-fit mounting support 52 is used to hold and support the snap-fit for the snap-fit mounting mechanism 54 to grasp. The snap-fit mounting support 52 is a support platform with a through-hole receiving groove 521 and a clearance groove 522. The width and depth of the receiving groove 521 are smaller than those of the clearance groove 522, and the two sides of the receiving groove 521 are stepped in the width direction to match the structure of the snap-fit. The receiving groove 521 is used to receive the snap-fit conveyed by the snap-fit feeding unit 53, and the clearance groove 522 is used to make way for the corresponding conveying structure of the snap-fit feeding unit 53. The following will describe the corresponding structure of the snap-fit feeding unit 53 in more detail.
[0144] The snap-fit feeding unit 53 includes a vibratory feeder 531, a discharge channel 532, and a snap-fit pushing unit 533.
[0145] The vibratory plate 531 arranges multiple disordered buckles neatly and outputs them sequentially through vibration, which is existing technology and will not be elaborated further.
[0146] One end of the discharge channel 532 is connected to the output end of the vibratory feeder 531, and the other end is connected to the buckle mounting support 52. The width of the discharge channel 532 is slightly wider than the width of a single buckle, and it is used to transport the arranged buckles one by one to the buckle mounting support 52 for the buckle mounting mechanism 54 to grab and install.
[0147] The latching push unit 533 includes a push frame 5331 and a push cylinder 5332 for moving the push frame 5331. It is used to push the latch on the latch mounting support 52 into place, thereby facilitating the latch mounting mechanism 54 to grasp it. The clearance groove 522 of the latch mounting support 52 is used to allow clearance for the end of the push frame 5331, that is, the end of the push frame 5331 can extend into the clearance groove 522 to push the latch in the receiving groove 521 into place.
[0148] Multiple sensors 55 are respectively installed on the buckle mounting support 52. One pair of sensors 55 is used to sense whether the buckle has been delivered to the receiving slot 521, so that the buckle can be pushed into place; another pair of sensors 55 is used to sense whether the buckle has been pushed into place, so that the grabbing and installation operation can be performed; other sensors 55 are also used to sense whether the buckle has been grabbed, etc., so that automatic control can be realized.
[0149] Figure 24 This is a perspective view of the snap-fit installation mechanism in this embodiment.
[0150] like Figure 24 As shown, the snap-on mounting mechanism 54 is used to grab snaps and install them at predetermined positions on the automotive door panel workpiece. It includes a robot arm 541, a snap-on mounting component 542, a connecting frame 543 for the snap-on mounting component, and a snap-on detection unit 544.
[0151] The robotic arm 541 includes a robotic arm mounting base 5411, a first horizontal rotation unit 5412 for snap-fit installation, a second horizontal rotation unit 5413 for snap-fit installation, and a lifting unit 5414 for snap-fit installation.
[0152] The first horizontal rotation unit 5412 for snap-fit installation is rotatably mounted on the robot arm mounting base 5411. The first horizontal rotation unit 5412 includes a first horizontal rotation arm 54121 and a first horizontal rotation drive member. The first horizontal rotation drive member is connected to the first horizontal rotation arm 54121 and is used to drive the first horizontal rotation arm 54121 to rotate.
[0153] A second horizontal rotating unit 5413 for snap-fit mounting is rotatably mounted on a first horizontal rotating unit 5412 for snap-fit mounting. The second horizontal rotating unit 5413 includes a second horizontal rotating arm 54131 and a second horizontal rotating drive member. The second horizontal rotating arm 54131 is rotatably connected to the first horizontal rotating arm 54121, and the second horizontal rotating drive member is connected to the second horizontal rotating arm 54131, thereby driving the second horizontal rotating arm 54131 to rotate.
[0154] A lifting unit 5414 for snap-fit installation is mounted on the second horizontal rotating unit 5413 for snap-fit installation, and is used to drive the snap-fit mounting component 542 to rise and fall. In this embodiment, the lifting unit 5414 for snap-fit installation includes a lifting motor for snap-fit installation, a lifting connecting rod 54142 for snap-fit installation, and a lifting guide rod 54143 for snap-fit installation.
[0155] The lifting motor for snap-fit installation drives the lifting connecting rod 54142 for snap-fit installation to rise and fall. One end of the lifting connecting rod 54142 for snap-fit installation is mounted on the second horizontal rotating arm 54131, and the other end is connected to the snap-fit mounting component 542 via the snap-fit mounting component connecting bracket 543. There are two lifting guide rods 54143 for snap-fit installation, which are arranged parallel to each other with the lifting connecting rod 54142 for snap-fit installation, and are used for guiding and limiting during lifting and falling.
[0156] The snap-fit mounting mechanism 54 includes two snap-fit mounting parts 542, which are mounted on the robotic arm 541 and are used to engage with the snap-fit to move or install the snap-fit.
[0157] Figure 25 This is a perspective view of the snap-fit mounting component in this embodiment.
[0158] like Figure 25 As shown, the bottom of the snap-fit mounting component 542 has a snap-fit fixing cavity 5421, the shape and size of which are adapted to the snap-fit. The snap-fit fixing cavity 5421 and the snap-fit are interference-fitted, and the snap-fit is fixed by friction. After the snap-fit is installed in place, the snap-fit mounting lifting unit 5414 lifts the snap-fit mounting component 542, thus separating the snap-fit from the snap-fit mounting component 542.
[0159] The clip-on mounting bracket 543 is mounted on the clip-on mounting lifting connecting rod 54142 and is used to connect the clip-on mounting parts 542. In this embodiment, the two clip-on mounting parts 542 are arranged parallel to each other on the clip-on mounting bracket 543 along the length direction of the clip-on mounting lifting connecting rod 54142, which enables the removal of two clips at one time.
[0160] Figure 26 This is a perspective view of the buckle detection unit in this embodiment.
[0161] As shown in Figure 26 The buckle detection unit 544 is arranged on the connecting frame 543 for the buckle mounting member, and is used for detecting whether the buckle is mounted in place. The buckle detection unit 544 comprises a detection motor 5441 for the buckle mounting and a detection transmission assembly 5442.
[0162] The detection motor 5441 for the buckle mounting is connected with the buckle mounting member 542 through the detection transmission assembly 5442, so as to drive the buckle mounting member 542 to rotate. In the embodiment, the detection motor 5441 for the buckle mounting is a servo motor, which can feed back the resistance received during rotation to the controller or other upper device, and then further judge whether the buckle is mounted in place according to the size of the resistance.
[0163] The detection transmission assembly 5442 comprises a driving wheel 54421, two driven wheels 54422, a synchronous belt 54423 and a tension wheel 54424. The driving wheel 54421 is connected with the output end of the detection motor 5441 for the buckle mounting, and the two driven wheels 54422 are fixedly connected with the two buckle mounting members 542 respectively. The tension wheel 54424 is used for tensioning the synchronous belt 54423, so as to avoid the slipping during transmission and affect the transmission effect.
[0164] In the embodiment, the buckle mounting point on the automobile door panel workpiece has a buckle mounting groove with a side opening. When taking the workpiece, the manipulator 541 moves to make the buckle mounting member 542 above the buckle to be mounted, and the buckle mounting lifting unit 5414 descends to make the upper part of the buckle into the buckle fixing cavity 5421 and fixed. When mounting, the manipulator 541 drives the buckle to move, so that the lower part of the buckle is clamped into the buckle mounting groove from the side opening and fixed. When detecting, under the drive of the detection motor 5441 for the buckle mounting, the driving wheel 54421 drives the driven wheels 54422 to rotate through the synchronous belt 54423, so that the buckle mounting member 542 also rotates, thereby applying a torsional force to the buckle, and then judging whether the buckle is mounted in place according to the feedback result of the servo motor.
[0165] After the buckle is mounted in place, the buckle mounting lifting unit 5414 drives the buckle mounting member 542 to rise and separate from the buckle, thereby completing the installation of the buckle.
[0166] Figure 27 FIG. 6 is a perspective view of the door panel taking device in the embodiment.
[0167] As shown in Figure 27 The door panel taking device 60 comprises a detection camera module 61, a door panel grabbing module 62, a workpiece conveying module 63, a door panel taking mechanism 64 and a door panel taking lifting mechanism 65.
[0168] The detection camera module 61 comprises a shell, an upper camera assembly 612, a lower camera assembly 613, and an illumination unit. The shell is made of black organic glass, which can shield external light sources to reduce the impact on shooting. The upper camera assembly 612 comprises a plurality of cameras arranged above the door panel taking-out mechanism 64, which is used to shoot the assembled automobile door panel workpiece from above. The lower camera assembly 613 comprises a plurality of cameras arranged below (close to the ground), which is used to shoot the automobile door panel workpiece from below. The lower camera assembly 613 is arranged vertically staggered with the upper camera assembly 612. The illumination unit comprises a plurality of lamp tubes, which can provide sufficient illumination for shooting.
[0169] Figure 28 FIG. 7 is a perspective view of the door panel grabbing module grabbing the automobile door panel workpiece in the embodiment.
[0170] As shown in FIG. 8, the door panel grabbing module 62 comprises a grabbing moving part 621 and two sets of clamping assemblies 622, which can grab the two sides of the automobile door panel workpiece and move it. Figures 27-28
[0171] The door panel grabbing moving part 621 comprises a guide rail and a plurality of driving motors, which can drive the clamping assemblies 622 installed on the guide rail to move along the x, y, and z axes.
[0172] The clamping assembly 622 comprises a support arm 6221, a supporting block 6222 arranged at the end of the support arm 6221, and a pressing cylinder 6223 arranged above the supporting block 6222. The supporting block 6222 can support the two sides of the automobile door panel workpiece, and the output end of the pressing cylinder 6223 can press the two sides of the automobile door panel workpiece on the supporting block 6222. Four clamping assemblies 622 simultaneously clamp four positions on the two sides of the automobile door panel workpiece, so as to clamp the automobile door panel workpiece and move it stably.
[0173] The workpiece conveying module 63 is a belt conveying line, which is used to convey the automobile door panel workpiece after detection to a predetermined position.
[0174] Therefore, after the mold device 20 is opened, the upper surface of the automobile door panel workpiece can be first shot by the upper camera assembly 612, then the door panel grabbing module 62 grabs and moves the automobile door panel workpiece to above the lower camera assembly 613, at this time the lower surface of the automobile door panel workpiece can be shot by the lower camera assembly 613, and then the assembly of the automobile door panel workpiece can be detected according to the shooting results of the two surfaces. Then the door panel grabbing module 62 places the automobile door panel workpiece on the workpiece conveying module 63, and the workpiece conveying module 63 conveys the automobile door panel workpiece to a predetermined position.
[0175] The structure of the door panel taking-out mechanism 64 is basically the same as that of the door panel placing mechanism 11, i.e. it comprises a mold taking part that is the same as the structure of the mold pushing part 121, a lifting mechanism that lifts the mold taking part, etc. The structure of the door panel taking-out lifting mechanism 65 is basically the same as that of the door panel placing lifting mechanism 14, and thus will not be repeated. That is, like the door panel placing device 10, the mold taking part is a chain type conveying structure that is liftable and can switch the conveying direction, and can drive the mold device 20 to lift and cooperate with the machining conveying device 71 or the backflow conveying device 72.

[0185] The conveying track 91 is a synchronous belt conveying track, which comprises a mounting frame 911, a driving wheel 912, a driven wheel 913, a synchronous belt 914 and a limiting baffle 915. The driving wheel 912 and the driven wheel 913 are rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 911 at the same height, and the synchronous belt 914 is sleeved on the driving wheel 912 and the driven wheel 913. The two limiting baffles 915 are mounted on the mounting frame 911 and are respectively located on the outer sides of the two synchronous belts 914. The spacing between the two limiting baffles 915 is slightly greater than the width of the mold device 20, which is used for guiding and limiting the mold device 20 during conveying. In order to reduce the structural obstruction and clearly show the transmission structure, Figure 30 Only one side of the limiting baffle 915 is shown in the figure.

[0192] When starting the assembly of a car door panel, the car door panel workpiece is placed into the corresponding mold device 20 in the first station, and the mold device 20 is conveyed in sequence to each station along the direction shown by D1 in the drawing for assembly. After the detection in the detection station 60 is completed, the car door panel is taken out of the mold device 20, the mold receiving part of the fifth station is lowered to the ground level, and works in cooperation with the mold storage device 100 to convey the empty mold device 20 to the mold storage device 100 for temporary storage. Figure 7
[0193] As shown in Figure 32 , the mold device 20 temporarily stored in the mold storage device 100 can be used in backflow. The mold pushing part 12 and the mold receiving part are both lowered to the ground level, at this time, the multiple storage conveying units 91, the mold receiving part of the fifth station, the lower layer conveying units 721 of the second to fourth stations, and the mold pushing part 12 of the first station form a relatively continuous conveying line, which can convey the mold device 20 temporarily stored in the mold storage device 100 back to the first station in sequence.
