Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of vehicle body welding technology, specifically to a rolling edge pressing device and rolling edge pressing control method for the inner and outer panels of a vehicle door. Background Technology
[0002] In the door hemming and pressing system, the hemming effect of the inner and outer door panels determines the overall vehicle matching and aesthetics, as well as product quality, which requires ensuring hemming precision. However, due to the lack of reference positioning holes in the outer door panels, the hemming and pressing of the inner and outer panels of the four doors has consistently suffered from insufficient positioning precision and poor hemming quality. Current hemming mechanisms and systems lack rigorous precision positioning configurations, relying entirely on the optimization and adjustment of the robot's hemming trajectory for the hemming effect, which is extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. Furthermore, while current hemming systems have made numerous design innovations, they are still constrained by the number of vehicle models and available space, resulting in insufficient scalability and compatibility. The control methods are also relatively simple, failing to meet the current demands for cost reduction and efficiency improvement. Most workpiece clamping methods require opening during hemming, and improper control of the rolling tool's force can cause localized deformation of the workpiece, making adjustment extremely difficult and requiring repeated debugging, verification, and correction. In addition to inherent problems with the mechanism itself, existing hemming systems also suffer from limitations in vehicle model, site, switching, and control methods.
[0003] In summary, the existing four-door rolling and pressing technology has many drawbacks, such as positioning accuracy errors, easy workpiece deformation, large space limitations, limited number of vehicle models that can be implemented, difficulty in upgrading and expanding control methods, and poor compatibility. Summary of the Invention

[0024] A method for hemming and pressing inner and outer panels of a car door, using the hemming and pressing equipment for inner and outer panels of a car door as described above, specifically includes the following steps:
[0025] S1. Clamping and positioning of the inner and outer door panels:
[0026] The workpiece for fitting the inner and outer panels of the car door is placed on the pressing mold fixture. The pressing mold fixture recognizes the workpiece, and the vacuum suction cup adsorbs it and sends a signal back to the control system.
[0027] S2. Clamping the inner and outer door panels:
[0028] The switching fixed clamping robot drives the pressure plate clamp onto the pressing mold clamp. The positioning mechanism on the pressure plate clamp is inserted into the matching positioning hole of the pressing mold clamp. The second and third detection switches detect that the workpiece position is accurate. The four sets of matching clamping mechanisms clamp the pressure plate clamp and send a feedback signal at the same time.
[0029] S3. Begin the hemming process:
[0030] The rolling robot with rolling tools enters the fixture area. The cylinder of the workpiece positioning and clamping mechanism flips and opens, and then the rolling begins. It rolls and presses the outer panel, and then wraps the inner panel. At the same time, the local folding mechanism presses the local workpiece for a certain period of time to complete the local folding.
[0031] S4. Complete the hemming process:
[0032] The rolling robot returns to its original position, the cylinder of the workpiece positioning and clamping mechanism clamps it, and it is back in the positioning state. The four sets of matching clamping mechanisms release the clamping state, the vacuum suction cup stops drawing vacuum, and the switching clamping robot drives the pressure plate fixture to return to its original position, removes the car door workpiece, and completes the rolling and pressing of the inner and outer panels of a car door.
[0033] S5, Vehicle model fixture switching judgment:
[0034] Based on the preset plan list or manual switching signal, determine whether to switch vehicle models and change fixtures. If it is necessary to switch vehicle models and change fixtures, proceed to the next step. If the same vehicle model is still being processed, return to the loop steps S1 to S4.
[0035] S6. Remove the original vehicle model clamp:
[0036] The switching fixed clamping robot drives the pressure plate clamp onto the pressing mold clamp. The first detection switch and the fourth detection switch recognize the positioning signal and provide signal feedback. The upper and lower plates of the switching disk disengage. After the switching fixed clamping robot returns to the waiting position and provides feedback, the sliding base plate moves to the loading position. At this time, the entire clamping mechanism is removed from the sliding base plate.
[0037] S7, New Model Fixture Entry:
[0038] The new vehicle model's overall fixture mechanism is installed on the sliding base plate, and then the vehicle model data is identified and judged. After the signal data matches, the vehicle model switching initialization command request takes effect.
[0039] The sliding base plate drives the overall clamping mechanism of the new model into the working position. After receiving the feedback signal, the switching clamping robot performs trajectory movement to lock the upper and lower switching plates together. The switching clamping robot drives the pressure plate clamping back to its position and then returns to execute steps S1 to S4.
[0040] Preferably, the outer panel is rolled and folded 3 times in step S3, and the pressing time for the partial fold is 3 seconds.
[0041] Compared with existing technologies, this invention solves the problems of limited vehicle quantity and site space, and its specific beneficial effects are as follows:
[0042] 1. The rolling edge pressing equipment provided by the present invention adopts a positioning sliding base, which can be used to drive the pressing mold fixture to move. It can be used in conjunction with the switching fixed clamping robot to effectively exit and enter the vehicle model fixture for fixture switching. There is no upper limit to the number of vehicle models, and it is not constrained by the site space. It has strong expansion and compatibility, and can achieve minimal investment in terms of factory area and equipment investment.
[0043] 2. This invention is not only applicable to high-cycle automated production of various car models, but also solves the problems of poor hemming accuracy and quality. Each pair of mechanisms has a positioning and matching mechanism to ensure accurate positioning. The clamping of the inner and outer door panel fittings adopts the method of pressing the pressure plate fixture against the pressing die fixture, which has a better clamping effect. The hemming area is completely unobstructed, with high surface fit and reduced working cycle. The working surfaces of the pressure plate and the pressing die are processed into contour surfaces to closely fit the inner and outer panel workpieces and reduce workpiece deformation.

[0081] Example 9.
[0082] This embodiment provides a method for hemming and pressing inner and outer door panels, using the hemming and pressing equipment for inner and outer door panels as described in any of embodiments 1-8, as referenced. Figure 6 As shown, the method specifically includes the following steps:
[0083] S1. Clamping and positioning of the inner and outer door panels:
[0084] The workpiece for fitting the inner and outer panels of the car door is placed on the pressing mold fixture 2. The pressing mold fixture 2 recognizes the workpiece, and the vacuum suction cup 2-2 adsorbs it and sends a signal back to the control system.
[0085] S2. Clamping the inner and outer door panels:
[0086] Switching the fixed clamping robot 4 drives the pressure plate clamp 1 onto the pressing mold clamp 2. The positioning mechanism 1-2 on the pressure plate clamp 1 is inserted into the matching positioning hole 2-3 of the pressing mold clamp 2. The second detection switch 1-9 and the third detection switch 2-10 detect that the workpiece position is accurate. The four sets of matching clamping mechanisms 2-4 clamp the pressure plate clamp 1 and send a feedback signal at the same time.
[0087] S3. Begin the hemming process:
[0088] The rolling robot 5, carrying the rolling tool, enters the fixture area. The cylinder of the workpiece positioning and clamping mechanism 2-5 flips and opens, and then the rolling begins. It rolls and presses the outer panel, and then wraps the inner panel. At the same time, the local folding mechanism 2-6 presses the local workpiece for a certain period of time to complete the local folding.
[0089] S4. Complete the hemming process:
[0090] The rolling edge robot 5 returns to its original position, the workpiece positioning and clamping mechanism 2-5 is clamped by the cylinder, and it is back in the positioning state. The four sets of matching clamping mechanisms 2-4 are released from the clamping state, the vacuum suction cup stops drawing vacuum, and the switching clamping robot 4 drives the pressure plate clamp 1 back to its original position. At this time, the car door workpiece is taken away, and the rolling edge pressing of the inner and outer panels of a car door is completed.
[0091] S5, Vehicle model fixture switching judgment:
[0092] Based on the preset plan list or manual switching signal, determine whether to switch vehicle models and change fixtures. If it is necessary to switch vehicle models and change fixtures, proceed to the next step. If the same vehicle model is still being processed, return to the loop steps S1 to S4.
[0093] S6. Remove the original vehicle model clamp:
[0094] The switching fixed clamping robot 4 drives the pressure plate clamp 1 to the pressing mold clamp 2. The first detection switch 1-10 and the fourth detection switch 2-9 identify the positioning signal and provide signal feedback. The upper and lower plates of the switching disk disengage. After the switching fixed clamping robot 4 returns to the waiting position, it provides a feedback signal. The sliding base plate 3-1 moves to the loading position. At this time, the entire clamping mechanism is removed from the sliding base plate 3-1.
[0095] S7, New Model Fixture Entry:
[0096] The new vehicle model integral fixture mechanism is installed on the sliding base plate 3-1, and then the vehicle model data is identified and judged. After the signal data matches, the vehicle model switching initialization command request takes effect.
[0097] The sliding base plate 3-1 drives the new model overall clamping mechanism into the working position. After receiving the feedback signal, the switching fixed clamping robot 4 performs trajectory movement to lock the upper and lower switching plates together. The switching fixed clamping robot 4 drives the pressure plate clamping 1 to return to its position and then returns to execute steps S1 to S4.
[0098] In the method provided in this embodiment, the switching and fixed clamping robot can be used in conjunction with the bottom positioning sliding base to perform effective clamp switching. The exit and entry of the vehicle model clamps are seamlessly connected through the control method. If a certain vehicle model is planned to be produced, only the corresponding clamp needs to be placed and the previous clamp needs to be exited in advance. The site space remains unchanged, and only the vehicle model clamps change. Minimal investment can be achieved in terms of factory area and equipment investment.
[0099] This embodiment is not only applicable to high-cycle automated production of various car models, but also solves the problems of poor hemming accuracy and quality. Each pair of mechanisms has a positioning and matching mechanism to ensure accurate positioning. The clamping of the inner and outer door panel fittings adopts the method of pressing the pressure plate fixture against the pressing die fixture, which has a better clamping effect. The hemming area is completely unobstructed, with high surface fit and reduced working cycle. The working surfaces of the pressure plate and the pressing die are machined into contour surfaces to closely fit the inner and outer panel workpieces and reduce workpiece deformation.
[0100] Therefore, the method provided in this embodiment can solve the problems of poor positioning accuracy of the hemming system, limited number of vehicle models and site space, single control method, poor scalability and compatibility. It is safe and reliable, with accurate and high-precision positioning during clamping and hemming processes, no upper limit on the number of vehicle models, no site space constraints, convenient fixture switching, and strong scalability and compatibility.

The positioning mechanism (1-2) on the pressure plate clamp (1) is inserted into the matching reference positioning hole (2-3) of the pressing mold clamp (2). The second detection switch (1-9) and the third detection switch (2-10) detect that the workpiece position is accurate. The four sets of matching clamping mechanisms (2-4) clamp the pressure plate clamp (1) and send a feedback signal at the same time. S3. Begin the hemming process: The rolling robot (5) enters the fixture area with the rolling tool. The cylinder of the workpiece positioning and clamping mechanism (2-5) flips and opens, and then the rolling begins. The outer plate is rolled and the inner plate is edged. At the same time, the local folding mechanism (2-6) presses the local workpiece for a certain period of time to complete the local folding. S4. Complete the hemming process: The rolling edge robot (5) returns to its original position, the workpiece positioning and clamping mechanism (2-5) is clamped by the cylinder, and it is back in the positioning state. The four sets of matching clamping mechanisms (2-4) are released from the clamping state, the vacuum suction cup stops drawing vacuum, and the switching clamping robot (4) drives the pressure plate clamp (1) back to its original position. At this time, the car door workpiece is taken away, and the rolling edge pressing of the inner and outer panels of a car door is completed. S5, Vehicle model fixture switching judgment: Based on the preset plan list or manual switching signal, determine whether to switch vehicle models and change fixtures. If it is necessary to switch vehicle models and change fixtures, proceed to the next step. If the same vehicle model is still being processed, return to the loop steps S1~S4. S6. Remove the original vehicle model clamp: The switching fixed clamping robot (4) drives the pressure plate clamp (1) to the pressing mold clamp (2). The first detection switch (1-10) and the fourth detection switch (2-9) recognize the position signal and provide signal feedback. The upper and lower plates of the switching disk disengage. After the switching fixed clamping robot (4) returns to the waiting position, it provides feedback signal. The sliding base plate (3-1) moves to the loading position. At this time, the entire clamping mechanism is removed from the sliding base plate (3-1). S7, New Model Fixture Entry: The new model overall fixture mechanism is installed on the sliding base plate (3-1), and then the model data is identified and judged. After the signal data matches, the model switching initialization command request takes effect. The sliding base plate (3-1) drives the new model overall clamping mechanism into the working position. After receiving the feedback signal, the switching fixed clamping robot (4) performs trajectory movement to lock the upper and lower switching disks together. The switching fixed clamping robot (4) drives the pressure plate clamp (1) to return to its position and then returns to execute steps S1~S4.
9. The method for rolling and pressing inner and outer door panels according to claim 8, characterized in that, In step S3, the outer panel is rolled and folded 3 times, and the pressing time for the partial fold is 3 seconds.
