Figure 1 The hardware structure shown in the embodiment of the application does not constitute a limitation on the application, and can include more or fewer components than those shown in the figure, or combine certain components, or arrange different components.

[0049] Continue to refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1The memory 1005 as a computer storage medium can include an operating system, a network communication module, a user interface module, and a vehicle tire assembly program. The processor 1001 can call the vehicle tire assembly program stored in the memory 1005 and execute the vehicle tire assembly method provided by the embodiments of the application.

[0050] In a second aspect, the embodiments of the application provide a vehicle tire assembly method.

[0051] Referring to Figure 2 A vehicle tire assembly method includes the following steps:

[0052] S100, obtaining model information of a vehicle to be processed;

[0053] S200, determining the number of bolts required for assembling the tire to be assembled according to the model information, and grabbing the corresponding number of bolts;

[0054] S300, obtaining a first visual image of a tire placement area where the tire to be assembled is placed, and obtaining the wheel center position of the tire to be assembled and each bolt hole position on the tire to be assembled according to the first visual image;

[0055] S400, grabbing the tire to be assembled according to the wheel center position and each bolt hole position.

[0056] In this embodiment, step S100 is to obtain the model information of the vehicle from the MES system, and then in step S200, the number of bolts required for assembling the tire to be assembled is determined according to the model information, and the corresponding number of bolts is grabbed at the bolt taking station by controlling the grabbing robot. At the same time, after the grabbing robot grabs the corresponding number of bolts, a bolt detection station is also provided in this embodiment, which realizes the judgment of whether the grabbing robot successfully grabs the corresponding number of bolts through vision or laser system, so that the problem of the number of grabbed bolts can be found in time after missing or falling of the bolts, and feedback and re-grabbing can be performed in time. In step S300, when obtaining the first visual image of the tire placement area where the tire to be assembled is placed, different image acquisition devices can be adopted in different embodiments, for example, a 2D visual camera can be arranged near the tire placement area to acquire images in some embodiments, and a camera arranged on the grabbing robot can be used to acquire images in some other embodiments, which is not limited herein. In step S400, the grabbing robot is controlled to move according to the obtained wheel center position and each bolt hole position, so as to finally realize the alignment of the grabbing robot to the tire to be assembled, and each bolt is passed through each bolt hole when grabbing, which is convenient for subsequent assembly.

[0057] In this way, by obtaining the visual image of the tire to be assembled placed in the tire placing area in advance, the position of the wheel center after the tire to be assembled is placed and the positions of the bolt holes thereon are obtained, and then the tire to be assembled is adaptively gripped according to the actually placed wheel center position and the bolt holes, the tire position is adjusted without setting mechanical rotating structure and position sensor and the like, the tire placing requirement is effectively reduced, the tire can be smoothly positioned and gripped only when it is in the tire placing area, on the other hand, the tire is not limited to the position of the positioning structure, different tire models can be smoothly positioned and gripped, the processing capacity of the production line is significantly improved, and the equipment cost of the production line of different models is reduced.

[0058] Optionally, the step S400 of gripping the tire to be assembled according to the wheel center position and the bolt holes comprises the following steps:

[0059] S410, moving the gripping robot to be coaxial with the wheel center position;

[0060] S420, determining the angle adjustment range of the gripping robot according to the number of bolt holes;

[0061] S430, obtaining the rotation angle of the gripping robot according to the bolt hole in the angle adjustment range, and rotating the gripping robot according to the rotation angle, so that each bolt gripped by the gripping robot is aligned with each bolt hole;

[0062] S440, gripping the tire to be assembled by the gripping robot.

[0063] The action of aligning the gripping robot with the tire to be assembled is divided into two independent actions, i.e. steps S410 and S430, and the two actions can be performed simultaneously or sequentially according to specific needs, which is not limited in the present application, and the alignment operation is more efficient. On the other hand, in step S420, the angle adjustment range of the gripping robot is determined in advance according to the number of bolt holes, and the gripping robot is rotated within the angle adjustment range, so that a suitable rotation angle can be quickly determined in the process of controlling the rotation of the gripping robot, facilitating the control of the gripping robot. For example, when the tire to be assembled has 5 bolt holes, the angle adjustment range of the gripping robot is 360 / 5, i.e. 72 degrees. Then, within the 72-degree rotation range, there must be a bolt hole available for correspondence, at which time the bolt hole within the angle adjustment range can be found according to the first visual image, and the actual angle at which the gripping robot needs to be rotated is analyzed after the correspondence, so as to adjust the angle of the gripping robot within the angle range and complete the alignment of the gripping robot with the tire to be assembled.

[0064] Further, the angle adjustment range of the grabbing robot is determined according to the number of bolt hole positions, and the angle adjustment range is (-180° / n, 180° / n), where n is the number of bolt hole positions.

[0065] In this way, the grabbing robot can find the closest bolt hole position within the angle adjustment range. For example, when there are 5 bolt hole positions on the tire to be assembled, the angle adjustment range is (-36°, +36°), so the grabbing robot only needs to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by a maximum of 36 degrees to find the corresponding bolt hole position for alignment, which is more efficient. Meanwhile, in other embodiments, the angle adjustment range can also be set as [(-180° / n)+X, (180° / n)+X], which is not limited herein.

[0066] Optionally, after the step S400, the grabbing robot grabs the tire to be assembled, and the step S400 further includes:

[0067] S500, obtaining a second visual image of a brake disc on a vehicle to be processed, and obtaining position data of the brake disc and each mounting hole position on the brake disc according to the second visual image;

[0068] S600, assembling the grabbed tire to be assembled according to the position data and each mounting hole position on the brake disc.

[0069] In this embodiment, the position data of the brake disc is the three-dimensional data of the brake disc, i.e., the position information under six degrees of freedom, including the center point (x, y, z) of the brake disc and the rotation angle (α, β, γ) of the brake disc itself. Meanwhile, the position information of each mounting hole position on the surface of the brake disc is obtained. Finally, when the grabbing robot is controlled to assemble the tire to be assembled, the position data and each mounting hole position can be used for smooth installation.

[0070] In this way, by obtaining the second visual image of the brake disc placed on the vehicle to be processed in advance, the position data of the brake disc and the positions of each mounting hole position thereon are obtained, and then the tire to be assembled is adaptively assembled according to the position data of the brake disc and each mounting hole position under the actual state, which effectively reduces the tire assembly requirements. On the other hand, the assembly process of the tire to be assembled is not limited to a specific vehicle model, and the tire of different vehicle models can be smoothly positioned and assembled, which significantly improves the processing capacity of the production line and reduces the equipment cost of the production line of different vehicle models.

[0071] Optionally, the step S600 of assembling the grabbed tire to be assembled according to the position data and each mounting hole position on the brake disc includes:

[0072] S610, moving the grabbing robot to align the grabbed tire to be assembled with the brake disc according to the position data;

[0073] S620, determining an angle rotation range of the grabbed tire to be assembled according to the number of mounting hole positions;

[0074] S630, obtaining a rotation angle of the grabbed tire to be assembled according to the mounting hole positions within the angle rotation range, and rotating the grabbing robot according to the rotation angle to align the grabbed tire to be assembled with each mounting hole position;

[0075] S640, assembling the tire to be assembled and the brake disc by the grabbing robot.

[0076] In step S610, the grabbing robot is moved to align the grabbed tire to be assembled with the brake disc, i.e. the grabbing robot is moved to a position where the grabbed tire to be assembled is parallel to the brake disc and coaxial with the brake disc, so that the subsequent assembly process of the bolt on the tire to be assembled and the mounting hole position on the brake disc can be performed after the alignment. In addition, the three-dimensional position and the angle of the tire to be assembled can be adjusted simultaneously or sequentially, and while adjusting the angle of the tire to be assembled, an appropriate angle rotation range can be obtained according to the number of mounting hole positions, and the tire to be assembled can be quickly rotated within the angle rotation range to facilitate the control of the grabbing robot. For example, when there are 5 mounting hole positions corresponding to bolt hole positions on the brake disc, the angle rotation range of the grabbing robot for the tire to be assembled is 360 / 5, i.e. 72 degrees. Within the 72-degree rotation range, there must be a mounting hole position on the brake disc, and the corresponding mounting hole position can be found according to the second visual image, and the actual angle at which the grabbing robot needs to rotate the tire to be assembled can be analyzed and obtained, so that the angle adjustment of the tire to be assembled on the grabbing robot within the angle rotation range can be controlled, and the alignment of the brake disc and the tire to be assembled can be achieved.

[0077] Further, the angle rotation range of the grabbed tire to be assembled is determined according to the number of mounting hole positions, and the angle rotation range is (-180° / n, 180° / n), where n is the number of mounting hole positions.

[0078] In this way, the grabbing robot can find the closest mounting hole position in the angle range and align the mounting hole position with the bolt on the tire to be assembled. For example, when the brake disc has five corresponding bolt hole positions and mounting hole positions on the assembled tire, the angle adjustment range is (-36°, +36°), so the grabbing robot only needs to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise by a maximum of 36 degrees to find the corresponding bolt hole position and mounting hole position, which is more efficient.

[0079] Further, the step 610 of moving the grabbing robot to align the tire to be assembled with the brake disc includes:

[0080] S601, obtaining an initial assembly station corresponding to the model information;

[0081] S602, moving the grabbing robot to the initial assembly station.

[0082] Specifically, according to the model information of the vehicle to be processed, an initial assembly station can be preset so that the grabbing robot can first reach the initial assembly station during the movement of the tire to be assembled, and then the initial assembly station can be used as the reference point for the adjustment of the deviation between the actual position and the target position.

[0083] In this way, the control logic of the grabbing robot during the assembly of the tire to be assembled is optimized, the real-time calculation of the distance is avoided, the efficiency is improved, and the stability of the assembly process is ensured.

[0084] In a third aspect, the embodiments of the present application also provide a vehicle tire assembly device.
