Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to a spline hub processing technology, belonging to the technical field of parts machining. Background Art
[0002] The drive shaft assembly is a key component of an automobile, and the spline hub is a key part of the drive shaft assembly. Generally, the spline hub of an automobile drive shaft assembly is shaped like a cylinder with a bottom surface, and teeth are provided on the cylindrical surface. A layer of nylon is coated on the surface of the spline hub, which can reduce the spline fit clearance and has the function of reducing vibration and noise at the same time. The traditional processing process flow is cleaning - sandblasting - dipping primer - heating - nylon coating - cooling - machining. Each process is manually operated and is an independent processing unit, occupying a large area, having low processing production efficiency, requiring a large number of personnel, and resulting in too high a unit price of the spline hub.
[0003] Therefore, a fully automatic processing technology for the spline hub used in the drive shaft has been invented. From loading, cleaning, drying, sandblasting, etc., to the final spline broaching and finish machining of the end face and outer circle, the whole line can operate without manual intervention, with a higher degree of automation. Through the transfer of workpieces on the automatic line, cleaning, sandblasting, nylon coating, cooling, and machining are carried out collaboratively, eliminating manual loading and unloading and reducing the time for handling between processes.

The robot identifies the position and features of the workpiece through the vision system, guides the robot to pick up the workpiece, and at the same time realizes the function of error prevention;
[0009] S2: The robot grabs the workpiece from the tray and places it on the cleaning loading platform, and then the robot continuously and circularly loads the workpiece;
[0010] S3: The truss manipulator grabs the workpiece, and through the control of the servo motor, the workpiece can be automatically immersed in the cleaning tank, and at the same time, it can automatically identify whether there is a workpiece. If there is no workpiece, the line will stop and an alarm will be issued;
[0011] S4: After the workpiece is dried, sandblasting and blowing are carried out. The workstations achieve automatic loading and unloading through robots. The large turntable of the sandblasting machine is equipped with 4 workstations, namely the loading and unloading workstation, the to-be-sprayed workstation, the sandblasting workstation, and the blowing workstation.
[0012] S5: Clean the workpiece according to the operation steps in step S3.
[0013] S6: After the workpiece is dried, apply primer to the workpiece. The truss manipulator grabs the workpiece and immerses it in the primer tank to apply primer, pauses for a few seconds after lifting, and quickly moves to the next process.
[0014] S7: Heating. The heating furnace adopts a through-type chain plate drive structure, which is divided into three zones, namely the preheating zone, the temperature-rising zone, and the heat-preserving zone. There are workpieces placed on the chain plate fixed with fixtures. It enters from one end and exits from the other end. The temperature of the workpiece is detected at the exit. If the temperature of the workpiece does not meet the process requirements, it has an alarm function. The loading is realized through the truss manipulator, and the unloading is completed through the robot.
[0015] S8: Vulcanization. The robot immerses the heated workpiece into the vulcanization tank, and controls the workpiece to move up and down to complete surface vulcanization. A layer of nylon is vulcanized on the surface of the workpiece. Under program control, the vulcanization time and the number of vulcanization times can be controlled by programming. After vulcanization to the process requirement size, the workpiece is transported to the next process by the robot.
[0016] S9: Cooling. The robot places the workpiece in the cooling turnover area and cools it with a fan. After the temperature of the workpiece drops below 160 °C, it is grabbed onto the step-chain cooling conveyor. The temperature can be automatically detected at both the entrance and the exit of the strong cooling chamber to ensure that it starts to enter the step-chain cooling conveyor for air cooling when the temperature is below 160 °C, and ensure that the offline temperature is not higher than 90 °C. If it exceeds the process requirements, an alarm prompt will be given.

[0020] A further improvement of the present invention is that the method of cleaning the workpiece in step S2 is ultrasonic cleaning, which includes two work positions, and four workpieces are cleaned simultaneously at each work position. The small end of the workpiece is at the bottom, and the gantry robot can simultaneously grasp four workpieces on the loading platform and place them at this work position. The oil stain on the surface of the workpiece is cleaned by ultrasonic method, and the cleaning effect is better and the efficiency is higher.
[0021] A further improvement of the present invention is that step S3 includes two work positions, and four workpieces are cleaned simultaneously at each work position. The automatic operation of the workpiece between processes and the two work positions is realized by the gantry robot. Each work position can realize the automatic immersion of the workpiece into the cleaning tank through the control of a servo motor, and the cleaning tank is filled with water. After cleaning the workpiece, soak and wash the workpiece to clean the cleaning liquid remaining on the surface of the workpiece.

If there is no workpiece, the production line will stop and alarm. The automatic operation of the workpiece between processes is realized by the gantry robot. The workpiece is immersed in the hot water tank, on the one hand, to further clean the workpiece, and on the other hand, to increase the temperature of the workpiece, which is beneficial to improving the drying speed of the workpiece.
