Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of machining equipment, and more specifically to an integral sub-frame five-axis automated fixture. Background Art

[0002] The subframe can be regarded as the skeleton of the front and rear axles, and is a component of the front and rear axles. The subframe is not a complete frame, but a bracket that supports the front and rear axles and suspension, so that the axles and suspension are connected to the "main frame" through it, and is customarily called the "subframe".

[0003] The subframes in new energy vehicles are generally made of aluminum alloy. The existing aluminum alloy subframes are generally split structures, which are assembled by welding. The process is complicated, the welding reliability is poor, the product deformation is irregular, the repeated clamping accuracy is poor, the error-proofing function is easy to fail, the processing efficiency is low, and it is not completed by one-time clamping. The processing accuracy stability is poor, there is stress deformation after processing, the product processing qualification rate is low, and it is not easy to achieve full-automatic processing; therefore, it is necessary to design an integral subframe to reduce the number of clamping times, etc., and for the integral subframe, it also needs a corresponding fixture , and the existing fixtures, such as the one-time clamping and welding efficient front subframe welding fixture with Chinese patent application number 201810701823.5, are used to clamp and fix the subframe components before welding and fixing them. The fixtures are all traditional structures such as oil cylinders and positioning pins. During the clamping process, it is impossible to always understand the accuracy of the clamping position and the degree of clamping firmness. If the subframe is still in a clamped state, the robot will not be able to take it out when it goes to pick up the material, which will cause damage to the robot and the fixture. Therefore, it cannot meet the requirements of fully automatic processing;

[0004] At the same time, during the existing processing of the sub-frame, it is only clamped and fixed by components such as a cylinder, and there is no other positioning auxiliary mechanism, so that the clamping is not firm enough. During processing, the position of the sub-frame is easy to move, affecting the automatic processing of the robot and even causing damage to the processing tool.

[0005] Moreover, when the existing subframe adopts the traditional material grasping method, the product is generally pushed out of the positioning system by a pushing mechanism, such as a positioning pin. Due to the large area of ​​the pushing mechanism and the contact surface with the product is the blank surface, the product will be subjected to uneven force or the pushing speed will be different during the pushing process, resulting in the positioning pin being partially stuck in the positioning hole during the pushing process. During the pushing process, the positioning pin will be damaged, and the product cannot be automatically grasped, thereby failing to achieve automated processing. Summary of the invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an integrated sub-frame five-axis automated fixture, which can always understand the clamping status of the sub-frame so that the robot can normally grasp, place or process it. Moreover, the telescopic positioning pin device it has can automatically position the sub-frame, and can also be retracted to facilitate the robot to grasp it, and will not be stuck with the sub-frame, thereby ensuring normal use.

[0013] A side product detection block is fixed on one side wall of the edge auxiliary clamping oil cylinder, and a side detection rod body is fixed on the end side wall of the push rod of the edge auxiliary clamping oil cylinder.

This embodiment adopts the SMC air tightness detection sensor), and an air jet pipe 15 is fixed on the top surface of the top plate of the main frame 10 of the fixture on one side of the upper positioning pin 71, and the air blowing end of the air blowing head 151 of the air jet pipe 15 is obliquely facing the upper part of the upper positioning pin 71, and the bottom end of this air jet pipe 15 is also connected to the corresponding ventilation channel formed on the top plate of the main frame 10 of the fixture, and the ventilation channel is connected to the air source through a connecting pipe (such as being connected to the air outlet end of the corresponding control valve of the air compressor).

[0044] In this embodiment, various airtight detection sensors and all control valves of the air compressor are electrically connected to the control host through electrical connection lines, and are controlled and operated by the control host. They are all conventional structures and will not be described in detail here. In the drawings of this embodiment, the clamping blocks of some hydraulic angle cylinders 13 and the upper clamping block 51 of the middle hydraulic angle cylinder 50 are partially rotated.

[0045] Working principle: When this embodiment is in use, when it needs to discharge materials, the upper positioning pins 71 of all telescopic positioning pin devices 70 are in a protruding shape. At this time, the side air inlet 712 and the side air outlet 713 are connected to the annular air guide groove 171 to ensure gas flow. At this time, the corresponding airtight detection sensor senses that the airtight state is low, indicating that the upper positioning pin 71 is in a protruding shape. At this time, the integral sub-frame 100 to be processed can be placed on the top plate of the main frame body 10 of the fixture by a robot, and the clamping plane 102 is pressed against the top surface of the corresponding product detection block 14 or the top surface of the main support column of the main detection support seat 121, and covers the product detection block 14 or the main support column. The middle detection through hole, the clamping block of the corresponding hydraulic angle cylinder 13 is pressed against the upper horizontal clamping surface 103 formed on the top surface of the corresponding frame extension 101. At this time, the bending sensing member 131 fixed on the side wall of the clamping block of the hydraulic angle cylinder 13 does not cover the middle through hole formed in the middle of the end face of the corresponding side sensing detection block 140. The airtightness state of the product detection block 14 and the side sensing detection block 140 (when not clamped, the bending sensing member 131 covers the middle through hole formed in the middle of the end face of the side sensing detection block 140, and its airtightness is high) changes, and the corresponding airtightness detection sensor transmits the sensing signal to the control host. The control host receives the signal, indicating that it is clamped in place;

[0046] Similarly, the lower beams of the front beam and the rear beam of the integral sub-frame 100 to be processed are clamped between the end of the corresponding side clamping block 161 and the top supporting end of the side auxiliary support cylinder 20. At this time, the side detection rod 162 no longer covers the middle through hole of the side product detection block 17 (when not clamped, the side detection rod 162 is at the bottom, covering the middle through hole of the side product detection block 17), and the airtightness state changes. The corresponding airtightness detection sensor transmits the sensing signal to the control host, and the control host receives the signal, indicating that it is clamped in place;

[0047] The left beam or right beam of the integral sub-frame 100 to be processed is clamped between the outer end of the corresponding edge clamping block 401 and the top support end of the edge auxiliary support cylinder 41, and the edge detection rod 43 no longer covers the middle through hole of the edge product detection block 42, and the principle is the same as above;

[0048] The middle transverse beam of the integral sub-frame 100 to be processed is clamped between the bottom end surface of the upper clamping block 51 of the corresponding middle hydraulic angle cylinder 50 and the top supporting end of the middle auxiliary support cylinder 52. At this time, the middle through hole of the middle product detection block 55 is far away from the side wall of the upper clamping block 51 of the middle hydraulic angle cylinder 50 (when not clamped, the side wall of the upper clamping block 51 of the middle hydraulic angle cylinder 50 covers the middle through hole of the middle product detection block 55). At this time, the airtightness state of the middle product detection block 55 changes, and the corresponding airtightness detection sensor transmits the sensing signal to the control host. The control host receives the signal, indicating that it is clamped in place.

[0049] Through the above signal, it can be known that the integral sub-frame 100 is clamped in place. At this time, the corresponding part of the integral sub-frame 100 can be processed. After the processing is completed, the upper positioning pin 71 of the telescopic positioning pin device 70 is retracted. At this time, the side air inlet hole 712 and the side air outlet hole 713 are not connected to the annular air guide groove 171. At this time, the corresponding airtight detection sensor senses that the airtight state is high, indicating that the upper positioning pin 71 is in a retracted state. Then, the push rods of all corresponding oil cylinders are returned to their positions (the hydraulic angle cylinder is rotated and lifted, which is a conventional action and will not be described in detail here), and the integral sub-frame 100 can be grabbed by the robot and taken out, which is very convenient.

[0050] After taking it out, the blowing end of the blowing head 151 of the air jet pipe 15 can blow air to the corresponding components to ensure that the processing waste thereon is blown away, such as blowing away the waste on the upper part of the upper positioning pin 71, to ensure the accurate position of the subsequent placement of the integral sub-frame 100, and to blow away the waste on the top surface of the product detection block 14 and the top surface of the main support column of the main detection support seat 121 to prevent the corresponding middle detection through hole from being blocked, thereby ensuring normal air tightness detection needs.

[0051] The telescopic positioning pin device 70 can position the integral sub-frame 100. When the integral sub-frame 100 needs to be taken out, the upper positioning pin 71 of the telescopic positioning pin device 70 can be retracted and no longer be in the positioning hole of the integral sub-frame 100, so that the upper positioning pin 71 will not be stuck with the integral sub-frame 100, which makes it convenient for the robot to grab the integral sub-frame 100 and take the material without damaging the upper positioning pin 71, thereby ensuring the service life.

[0052] Moreover, when placing, the plastic detection block 61 can block the integral sub-frame 100 that is not placed properly above, so that the corresponding clamping mechanisms such as the oil cylinder cannot completely clamp the integral sub-frame 100, so that the corresponding airtight detection sensor cannot detect the corresponding state, so that the subsequent robot will not force processing, thereby ensuring the integrity of the vehicle-type sub-frame 100 and the normal operation of the robot.
