Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of mechanical manufacturing equipment, and in particular relates to a spherical coordinate type thin plate intelligent reconfigurable drilling fixture. Background Art
[0002] Thin plate parts are widely used in the automotive, shipbuilding and aerospace manufacturing industries due to their light weight and high strength. In the manufacturing industry, multiple rivet holes are often required to be processed on thin plate parts, but the rigidity of such parts is poor. When using traditional fixtures to assist drilling, it is difficult to control the deformation caused by the weight of the parts and the cutting load, and the processing accuracy is difficult to guarantee. Therefore, it is necessary to invent a spherical coordinate type thin plate intelligent reconfigurable drilling fixture to improve the rigidity of thin plate parts, thereby improving the processing quality of thin plate parts.
[0003] In order to solve the deformation problem of thin plate parts during drilling, the fixtures currently used mostly use the "N-2-1" positioning method to position the workpiece. Compared with the traditional "3-2-1" positioning principle, this method can effectively solve the low rigidity and easy deformation characteristics of thin plate parts. With the increasingly diverse size and shape requirements of thin plate parts in the manufacturing industry, most existing fixtures are unable to timely and effectively adjust the number of support units and clamping layout solutions, and both processing efficiency and part quality need to be improved.
[0004] In view of the limitations of traditional fixtures, it is necessary to design a drilling fixture that can help improve the processing accuracy and overall processing efficiency of thin plate parts. Summary of the invention

In addition, the fixing frame is flexibly connected to the r-direction lifting platform 27 through the reset spring 34. The mini air pump 14 is installed on the side of the base 20, and outputs negative pressure to the vacuum suction cup 31 through the air path to generate adsorption force to complete the clamping of the workpiece. The reset spring 34 is used to automatically reset the adaptive ball joint 29 so that it always points along the r direction before the vacuum suction cup 31 is attached to the workpiece surface, so as to avoid the ball joint from getting stuck during the bonding process. The adaptive ball joint 29 is used to adapt to the change of the curvature of the workpiece surface, so that the positioning ball head 32 points to the normal direction of the surface when the vacuum suction cup 31 is attached to the workpiece surface, thereby ensuring the required positioning accuracy.
[0046] The positioning and clamping unit 5 adjusts the unit posture through the positioning component, completes the positioning of the thin plate in combination with the edge positioning plate 3, and adjusts the adsorption force through the clamping component 13 to complete the clamping of the thin plate.

[0049] As shown in FIG. 10 (a)-(b), the clamping device completes the positioning and clamping of thin plate parts of different sizes by adjusting the posture of the positioning and clamping unit 5 and the position of the edge positioning plate 3.
[0050] As shown in Fig. 11(a)-(b), the clamping device positions and clamps different positions of the same thin plate. The clamp obtains the clamping parameters and workpiece deformation in real time with the help of the detection part, dynamically optimizes and adjusts the position of the positioning ball head 32 of the positioning clamping unit 5 and the actual adsorption force of the vacuum suction cup 31, and forms the optimal clamping layout corresponding to the next drilling position.
[0051] The specific working principle of the present invention is:
[0052] 1. The fixture is fixed on the T-slot of the cutting machine table through a connecting component. Multiple fixtures can also be connected and fixed through the component to expand the applicable range of thin plate specifications.
[0053] 2. The adjacent sides of the thin plate are positioned by two edge positioning plates and one edge positioning plate respectively. The edge positioning plate can be adjusted through the waist-shaped holes on the edge of the base mounting plate to adapt to the specifications of the workpiece; the bottom surface of the thin plate is clamped by four positioning and clamping units. Each positioning and clamping unit adopts spherical coordinate parameters, including two rotating components, one translation component and one clamping component, which can clamp the same thin plate at different positions within a certain range.
[0054] 3. Before the fixture is clamped, the spherical coordinate parameters of the target positioning point are obtained by an external algorithm according to the process requirements; during the clamping process, based on the spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) of the target positioning point, the φ, θ and r displacements of the positioning clamping unit are first adjusted in sequence to complete the positioning, and then the adsorption force at the vacuum suction cup is adjusted to achieve clamping. In the positioning component, the laser displacement sensor located in the r-axis translation component detects the displacement of the positioning ball head in the radial direction of the spherical coordinates. The servo motor encoder located in the φ-axis rotation component and the θ-axis rotation component detects the spherical coordinate angular displacement corresponding to the positioning ball head. In the clamping component, the vacuum pressure sensor located on the suction cup bracket detects the actual adsorption force of the vacuum suction cup. The acquired positioning parameters and adsorption force parameters are transmitted to the PLC via the data acquisition device. The PLC analyzes and calculates the detection data with the help of the control program, determines the motor rotation amount, outputs the control command to the driver, and drives the servo motor and the mini air pump to work, adjust the position of the positioning ball head and the actual adsorption force of the vacuum suction cup, and realize the optimal clamping layout. During the clamping layout adjustment process, the positioning clamping unit that has not been moved can maintain the accurate position of the thin plate parts, avoid the loading and unloading operations of the thin plate parts, and improve the processing efficiency.
