Complete the automated conveying and detection task.

[0042] Each device of the system shall have sufficient strength and stiffness, and the mechanical moving mechanism shall operate smoothly, respond quickly and accurately.

[0043] The RGV trolley mainly consists of a traveling mechanism 21, a vehicle body frame, and a workpiece fixing bracket 22.

[0044] The traveling mechanism 21 mainly includes a chassis, wheel components, drive components, etc. The traveling is driven by a set of motor reducers to drive the axle, and the two wheels are driven along the guide rail through the axle, and the other two wheels are driven wheels.

[0045] First, the rigid chain drags the workpiece from the RGV trolley to the erection device, and the dragging ensures a positioning accuracy of 0.5 mm; then, the clamping motor drives the clamping tooling to clamp the workpiece through the lead screw; after fixing, the second-level electric cylinder pushes the workpiece from the horizontal to the vertical state; finally, the lifting motor places the workpiece on the workpiece inspection table through the lead screw, and the clamping claws are released. After the workpiece inspection is completed, the erection device operates in the reverse direction.

[0048]

[0049] The lifting accuracy of the erection device is controlled by the motor reducer driving the trapezoidal lead screw transmission. When descending to the position, it is sensed by a pressure sensor. When the pressure sensor feedback shows a significant decrease in load, it indicates that the workpiece is installed in place, and the detection accuracy of the pressure sensor is 10 kg.
