Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical manufacturing technology, and in particular to a flexible clamping device. Background Technology

[0002] High-strength bolts are widely used in modern aircraft structural design due to their high strength, fatigue resistance, excellent self-locking and anti-loosening properties, and ease of assembly. They are used not only for connections between composite materials and between composite materials and metals, but also extensively for connections between metals that bear the main load and transmit the main load. As the proportion of composite materials used in new aircraft models increases, the application of riveted structures is trending downwards, while the application of high-strength bolt connections is increasing. In current automated assembly processes using high-strength bolts, positional deviations between the bolts and nuts can easily lead to rigid collisions between the bolts and nuts, as well as between components of the robotic arm, resulting in damage to the high-strength bolts and the robotic arm itself.

[0051] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the invention and not intended to limit it. Furthermore, it should be noted that, for ease of description, the accompanying drawings show only the parts relevant to the present invention, and not all of the structures.

[0052] In the description of this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connected," "linked," and "fixed" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0053] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, "above" or "below" the second feature can include direct contact between the first and second features, or contact between the first and second features through another feature between them. Furthermore, "above," "over," and "on top" of the second feature includes the first feature directly above or diagonally above the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a higher horizontal level than the second feature. "Below," "below," and "under" the second feature includes the first feature directly below or diagonally below the second feature, or simply indicates that the first feature is at a lower horizontal level than the second feature.

[0054] In the description of this embodiment, the terms "upper," "lower," "right," etc., refer to the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are used only for ease of description and simplification of operation, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the present invention. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are used only for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a flexible clamping device, for example, for assembling high-strength bolts. The flexible clamping device includes a connector 11, a tightening bias tool 12, a tightening head assembly 13, and a tightening drive 14. The connector 11 is used to connect a robotic arm. The tightening bias tool 12 is disposed at the bottom end of the connector 11 and is movable relative to the connector 11 along a first direction and a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction. The tightening head assembly 13 is rotatably disposed at the bottom end of the tightening bias tool 12 and is used to clamp a nut 100. The tightening drive 14 is disposed on the tightening bias tool 12 and is drively connected to the tightening head assembly 13. The tightening drive 14 can drive the tightening head assembly 13 to rotate relative to the tightening bias tool 12 around a first axis, the first axis being perpendicular to both the first and second directions. During the assembly of the nut 100 and the bolt, the tightening bias tool 12 moves relative to the connector 11 along the first and second directions, allowing the nut 100 to change according to the position of the bolt. This avoids rigid collisions between the nut 100 and the bolt during the robotic arm's adjustment and positioning process, preventing damage to the bolt and the robotic arm. Specifically, in this embodiment, the tightening drive 14 is a servo tightening device.

[0056] The flexible clamping device provided in this embodiment also includes a sensor 15, which is disposed on the connector 11. The sensor 15 can monitor the position of the tightening bias tool 12 relative to the connector 11 along the first direction and the second direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the sensor 15 is a six-dimensional force sensor. The top end of the sensor 15 is fixed to the bottom end of the connector 11, and the tightening bias tool 12 is disposed at the bottom end of the sensor 15. When the tightening bias tool 12 moves relative to the connector 11 along the first direction and the second direction, the position change of the tightening bias tool 12 relative to the connector 11 can be converted into a force reading of the sensor 15. By reading the force reading of the sensor 15, the position of the tightening bias tool 12 relative to the connector 11 along the first direction and the second direction can be determined.

[0057] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the flexible clamping device provided in this embodiment further includes a sliding assembly 16, which includes a first connecting plate 161, a first sliding plate 162, a second connecting plate 163, and a second sliding plate 164. The first connecting plate 161 is disposed at the bottom end of the sensor 15. Specifically, the flexible clamping device provided in this embodiment also includes a first connecting flange 18, with the bottom end of the sensor 15 fixedly connected to the top end of the first connecting flange 18, and the top end of the first linear guide rail fixedly connected to the bottom end of the first connecting flange 18. A first linear guide rail extending in a first direction is disposed on the side of the first connecting plate 161 away from the connector 11. The first sliding plate 162 is slidably disposed on the first linear guide rail. The second connecting plate 163 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the first sliding plate 162, and a second linear guide rail extending in a second direction is disposed on the side of the second connecting plate 163 away from the first sliding plate 162. The second sliding plate 164 is slidably disposed on the second linear guide rail, and the tightening drive member 14 is fixedly disposed at the bottom end of the second sliding plate 164. The movement of the tightening biasing tool 12 relative to the connector 11 in the first and second directions is achieved by the movement of the first sliding plate 162 relative to the first connecting plate 161 in the first direction and the movement of the second sliding plate 164 relative to the second connecting plate 163 in the second direction. Specifically, the flexible clamping device provided in this embodiment also includes a second connecting flange 19, the bottom end of the second connecting plate 163 is fixedly connected to the top end of the second connecting flange 19, and the top end of the tightening biasing tool 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom end including the second connecting flange 19.

[0058] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the flexible clamping device provided in this embodiment also includes a return assembly 17, which includes a first spring plunger 171 and a second spring plunger 172. A first spring plunger 171 is provided at both ends of the first linear guide rail. The first spring plunger 171 includes a first column and a first head. The first column is fixed to the first linear guide rail, and the first head is slidably disposed on the end of the first column near the first sliding plate 162. The two first heads respectively abut against the two ends of the first sliding plate 162 along a first direction. A second spring plunger 172 is provided at both ends of the second linear guide rail. The second spring plunger 172 includes a second column and a second head. The second column is fixed to the second linear guide rail, and the second head is slidably disposed at the end of the second column near the second sliding plate 164. The two second heads respectively abut against the two ends of the second sliding plate 164 along a second direction. By providing first spring plungers 171 at both ends of the first linear guide rail, the first sliding plate 162 can only move between the two first pillars, thus limiting the movement of the first sliding plate 162. The first pillar head abuts against the first sliding plate 162. When the position of the first sliding plate 162 relative to the first connecting plate 161 changes, the first pillar head applies a restoring force to the first sliding plate 162. After the nut 100 is installed and the tightening head assembly 13 is disengaged from the bolt, the restoring force applied by the first pillar head to the first sliding plate 162 drives it back to its equilibrium position. Similarly, the second pillar acts as a limiter for the second sliding plate 164. After the nut 100 is installed and the tightening head assembly 13 is disengaged from the bolt, the second pillar head drives the second sliding plate 164 back to its equilibrium position.

[0059] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first connecting plate 161 is provided with a first mounting block 1611 corresponding to the first spring plunger 171. The first column is mounted on the first mounting block 1611, and the relative position of the first column and the first mounting block 1611 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the movement range of the first sliding plate 162. The second connecting plate 163 is provided with a second mounting block 1631 corresponding to the second spring plunger 172. The second column is mounted on the second mounting block 1631, and the relative position of the second column and the second mounting block 1631 can be adjusted, thereby adjusting the movement range of the second sliding plate 164.

[0060] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the tightening head assembly 13 includes a tightening shaft base plate 131 and a floating tightening shaft 132. The tightening shaft base plate 131 includes a rotating shaft 1311 and a base plate 1312 fixed to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 1311. The tightening biasing tool 12 is provided with a connecting hole, and the rotating shaft 1311 is rotatably disposed in the connecting hole. The tightening drive member 14 can drive the rotating shaft 1311 to rotate around a first axis. The floating tightening shaft 132 is disposed at the bottom end of the base plate 1312. The axis of the floating tightening shaft 132 is collinear with the first axis. The floating tightening shaft 132 can slide relative to the tightening shaft base plate 131 along the first axis and can rotate relative to the tightening drive member 14 around the first axis with the tightening shaft base plate 131.

[0061] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the flexible clamping device provided in this embodiment also includes a bushing 20 and a fastener 21. A connecting hole is provided through the tightening drive member 14, and the bushing 20 is fixed within the connecting hole. A rotating shaft 1311 is rotatably disposed within the bushing 20, with one end of the rotating shaft 1311 away from the base plate 1312 extending out of the bushing 20 and screwed to the fastener 21. The bottom end of the fastener 21 abuts against the top end of the bushing 20. The bushing 20 reduces the rotational friction of the rotating shaft 1311. The fastener 21 secures the rotating shaft 1311 to the bushing 20. A gasket is provided between the fastener 21 and the bushing 20.

[0062] Optionally, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, the tightening head assembly 13 also includes a tightening shaft end cap 133, a floating shaft 134, a first elastic element 135, and a second elastic element 136. The tightening shaft end cap 133 is fixed to the top of the base plate 1312 and has a first receiving cavity. The bottom end of the tightening shaft end cap 133 has a first floating hole coaxial with the floating tightening shaft 132. One end of the floating shaft 134 passes through the first floating hole and is inserted into the first receiving cavity, while the other end extends out of the first receiving cavity. The end of the floating shaft 134 extending into the first receiving cavity has a first abutting portion 1341 protruding away from the first axis. One end of the first elastic element 135 abuts against the first abutting portion 1341, and the other end abuts against the end of the tightening shaft end cap 133 with the first floating hole. The first elastic element 135 can drive the floating shaft 134 to abut against the bottom end of the base plate 1312. The floating shaft 134 is provided with a second receiving cavity. The end of the floating shaft 134 away from the base plate 1312 is provided with a second floating hole. The floating tightening shaft 132 passes through the second floating hole and is inserted into the second receiving cavity. The floating tightening shaft 132 is provided with a second abutting part. One end of the second elastic member 136 abuts against the base plate 1312, and the other end abuts against the side of the second abutting part near the tightening shaft base plate 131. The second elastic member 136 can drive the side of the second abutting part away from the base plate 1312 to abut against the cavity of the second receiving cavity. When the side of the second abutting part away from the base plate 1312 abuts against the cavity of the second receiving cavity, there is a gap between the end of the floating tightening shaft 132 near the base plate 1312 and the base plate 1312. By configuring a tightening shaft end cap 133, a floating shaft 134, a first elastic element 135, and a second elastic element 136, the floating tightening shaft 132 can move away from the base plate 1312 by compressing the first elastic element 135 via the floating shaft 134, and also move closer to the base plate 1312 by compressing the second elastic element 136. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first elastic element 135 and the second elastic element 136 are springs.

[0063] During the tightening phase of nut 100, if the tightening speed of the motor of tightening drive 14 does not match the feed speed of nut 100, the second elastic element 136 will be forced to compress. The industrial robot determines the degree of synchronization between the motor of tightening drive 14 and the movement of the robotic arm based on the assembly force information fed back by sensor 15, and dynamically adjusts the feed speed of the robotic arm or the motor speed. During the robotic arm retraction phase, if the hexagonal part of the high-lock nut is not broken or other abnormalities occur, the first elastic element 135 will be forced to compress during the retraction process. The industrial robot determines the existence of this abnormal state based on the compression force information of the first elastic element 135 fed back by sensor 15, and then automatically implements the abnormality handling process.

[0064] Optionally, such as Figure 2As shown, a guide shaft 1321 is fixed at one end of the floating tightening shaft 132 near the base plate 1312. The axis of the guide shaft 1321 is collinear with the first axis, and the second elastic element 136 is sleeved on the guide shaft 1321. The guide shaft 1321 is used to prevent the second elastic element 136 from deflecting.

[0065] Optionally, such as Figure 2 As shown, multiple first elastic elements 135 are provided, and the multiple first elastic elements 135 are arranged at intervals around the floating shaft 134. The first abutment portion 1341 is provided with guide rods 1342 corresponding to the first elastic elements 135, and the first elastic elements 135 are sleeved on the guide rods 1342. By having multiple first elastic elements 135 arranged at intervals around the floating shaft 134, the floating shaft 134 is subjected to uniform force.

[0066] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the implementation of the present invention. Those skilled in the art will be able to make various obvious changes, readjustments, and substitutions without departing from the scope of protection of the present invention. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively describe all embodiments here. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
