Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of loading racks, and in particular to an error-proof loading rack. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the competition in the automobile market, in order to meet the ever-changing needs of consumers for different models and different configurations, the vehicle manufacturing method is in the context of flexible production. One workshop often produces multiple models mixed and multiple configurations of the same model.

[0003] Since the installation methods of different configurations of some parts are the same and the differences are small, they are difficult to identify with the naked eye. Therefore, mis-installation is likely to occur during the production process. This situation is particularly common in automobile assembly workshops with a large number of manual assembly environments, such as shift covers, rear cover wiring harnesses, wheel covers, gasoline door labels, ABS pumps, etc.

[0004] The known solution is to light up the rack to prevent mistakes. Production line workers scan the vehicle assembly list or RFID to automatically read the vehicle RFID tag to obtain the vehicle model configuration. The corresponding material on the rack at the line will automatically light up to remind the assembler to take the correct material. However, this lighting method is only a reminder and not mandatory, and there is still a possibility of taking the wrong material. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The error-proof loading rack of an embodiment of the present invention is used in conjunction with the logistics scanning rack 2, which is used to obtain vehicle information of the car 3. Figure 1 As shown, the error-proof loading rack includes a main body 1, which includes at least one rack. The outer wall of the rack is fixedly connected with a driving mechanism, a display panel 6, a display screen 7 and a control box 11. The driving mechanism is connected to the display panel 6. An RFID tag 301 is provided on the top of the car. An RFID reader 4 is provided at the bottom end of the logistics scanning rack 2. The bottom of the RFID reader 4 is connected to the RFID tag 301. Figure 2 .

[0032] The RFID reader 4 scans the RFID tag 301, and the scanned vehicle information is transmitted to the control box 11. The control box 11 controls the corresponding driving mechanism to move the display panel 6, marks the materials that should be taken correctly, and displays the vehicle information and material information of the car 3 through the display screen 7. In this embodiment, the control box 11 is based on the Raspberry Pi PC, through the integrated relay, and completes the development of the python program template. In this embodiment, based on the existing RFID technology, with the Raspberry Pi PC as the core, the vehicle information is obtained through the FIS database.

[0033] In this embodiment, the driving mechanism is preferably a cylinder 5 .

[0034] Among them, the material rack plays the role of placing fixed types of materials, so that the materials can be arranged in an orderly manner.

[0035] like Figure 1 As shown, the inner wall of the material rack is fixedly connected to a rack 8, the inner wall of the rack 8 is fixedly connected to a support plate 9, and the inner wall of the support plate 9 is fixedly connected to a synchronization mechanism. After the corresponding material is placed on the rack 8, the friction at the bottom of the material can be reduced by the synchronization mechanism, thereby facilitating the movement of the material. In this embodiment, the synchronization mechanism is preferably a wheel hub 10, see Figure 4 .

[0036] In this embodiment, the main body 1 includes a first rack 100, a second rack 102 and a third rack 104. The outer walls of the first rack 100 and the second rack 102 are fixedly connected by a first connecting rod 101, and the outer walls of the second rack 102 and the third rack 104 are fixedly connected by a second connecting rod 103. Figure 3 .

[0037] In this embodiment, preferably, the first material rack 100, the second material rack 102 and the third material rack 104 have the same structure.

[0038] In this embodiment, the display panel 6 includes a panel body 600, a first slider 601 and a second slider 602. The first slider 601 and the second slider 602 are respectively fixedly connected to two sides of the panel body 600. Figure 5 The first slider 601 and the second slider 602 are hollow cylinders, which match the outer wall of the rack. The first slider 601 and the second slider 602 on both sides of the plate body 600 allow the display panel 6 to slide along the fixed track.

[0039] The working principle and use process of the error-proofing material rack according to an embodiment of the present invention are as follows:

[0040] The RFID tag 301 is adsorbed on the roof of the car 3, and the RFID tag 301 on the car 3 is scanned by the RFID reader 4. The vehicle information obtained after the scan will be transmitted to the control box 11. According to the different information about the vehicle configuration in the vehicle information of the car 3, the control box 11 controls the corresponding cylinder 5 to move with the display panel 6, prompting the operator to install the materials correctly, and displaying the vehicle information and material information through the display screen 7. The control box 11 is based on the Raspberry Pi PC, through the integrated relay, and completes the development of the python program template. After placing the corresponding materials on the shelf 8, the friction at the bottom of the material box can be reduced by the wheel hub 10 to facilitate the movement of the materials. The first material rack 100, the second material rack 102 and the third material rack 104 can play the role of placing fixed types of materials, so that the materials are placed in an orderly manner. The first slider 601 and the second slider 602 on both sides of the plate body 600 allow the display panel 6 to slide along a fixed track.

[0041] The beneficial effects of the error-proof loading rack of the present invention are:

[0042] 1. The RFID tag is adsorbed on the roof of the vehicle body. When it passes the scanner position, the scanner will automatically read the vehicle information in the tag, and query the vehicle order information from the database according to the vehicle number obtained by the scanner. After the control box obtains the vehicle model configuration information, it controls the movement of the corresponding cylinder, and the rack cylinder opens. At the same time, the display screen above the rack displays the vehicle information and material information, which is convenient for operators to take the correct materials. The equipment uses the existing RFID technology as the basis, with Raspberry Pi PC as the core, obtains vehicle configuration information through the FIS database, and independently designs the cylinder error-proofing rack to achieve the purpose of mandatory error-proofing.

[0043] 2. The control box uses the cheap and easily available Raspberry Pi as a processing computer. By integrating relays and completing the development of Python program templates, it can be conveniently connected to external display screens, cylinder solenoid valves and other actuators. The control box is standardized and modularized, and can be quickly promoted and directly used in other industrial production environments.

[0044] 3. The error-proof loading rack of the present invention has a simple rack structure, an obvious error-proofing effect, a small and simple control core APC device, low cost, and certain promotion and replicability.

[0045] It should be understood that the "first material rack, the second material rack and the third material rack", "the first slider and the second slider" and "the first connecting rod and the second connecting rod" listed in the present invention are only an embodiment, and are not a limitation on the number of material racks in the main body of the error-proofing material rack of the present invention. For example, the main body may include only the first material rack, the main body may include the first material rack and the second material rack, the main body may also include the first material rack, the second material rack, the third material rack and the fourth material rack, and so on.
