[0037] It is to be noted that when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or connected through an intervening element. "Connected" in the following embodiments should be understood as "electrically connected", "communicatively connected" and the like if the circuits, modules, units and the like connected to each other have transmission of electrical signals or data.

[0038] As used herein, the singular forms "a", "an" and "the" include plural referents unless the context clearly dictates otherwise. It is to be understood that the terms "including", "comprising", "having" and the like are specifically intended to be interpreted as "including but not limited to".

[0039] Referring to Figures 1-5 As shown, the vehicle door outer plate gluing and assembling system provided by the embodiment of the application includes a gluing clamp 1 and an assembling clamp 2. The gluing clamp 1 includes a gluing positioning assembly for positioning the outer plate and a first conveying mechanism 12 for conveying the outer plate after gluing. The assembling clamp 2 includes a second conveying mechanism 22 and an assembling positioning assembly. The second conveying mechanism 22 is connected with the first conveying mechanism 12 and is used to receive the outer plate conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 12 and convey the outer plate to an assembling position. The assembling positioning assembly is used to position the outer plate at the assembling position.

[0040] Referring to Figures 1-2As shown in the figure, the gluing jig 1 comprises a gluing workbench 11, and a first conveying mechanism 12 is arranged on the gluing workbench 11 and used for conveying the glued outer plate along a horizontal first direction; in this embodiment, the first conveying mechanism 12 comprises two conveying belts 121 arranged along the horizontal first direction, the two conveying belts 121 are parallel and arranged along a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying belts 121, and the conveying planes of the two conveying belts 121 are flush, so as to support the outer plate by the two conveying belts 121 and convey the outer plate along the first direction.

[0041] With reference to Figures 1-2 As shown in the figure, further, the distance between the two conveying belts 121 needs to be greater than 1 / 2 of the width of the outer plate along the direction, so as to ensure that the conveying belts 121 can effectively support the outer plate during the conveying process; in this embodiment, the state of the outer plate when positioned by the gluing positioning assembly and when conveyed by the conveying belts 121 is that the X direction (the length direction of the vehicle body in the vehicle body coordinate system) is parallel to the first direction, the Y direction (the width direction of the vehicle body in the vehicle body coordinate system) is vertical, the Z direction (the height direction of the vehicle body in the vehicle body coordinate system) is horizontal and perpendicular to the first direction. Therefore, the distance between the two conveying belts 121 needs to be greater than 1 / 2 of the width of the outer plate along the Z direction, and when the two conveying belts 121 support the outer plate, the two conveying belts 121 are respectively below the door handle and above the outer plate contour line of the door outer plate (the above and below are the positions of the door in the installed state of the real vehicle), the door handle and the outer plate contour line of the door are the modeling dividing lines of the door outer plate, and the door outer plate within the range of the two dividing lines has relatively gentle modeling, so as to enable the conveying belts 121 to effectively support the door outer plate, the position of the door outer plate does not deflect during the conveying process, and the conveying belts 121 have better compatibility, so as to ensure that multiple vehicle models can be shared.

[0042] With reference to Figures 2-3As shown, further, the gluing positioning assembly comprises a plurality of first positioning mechanisms 13 arranged on the gluing workbench 11, the first positioning mechanisms 13 are used for positioning the outer panel in the vertical direction and the first direction, and the first positioning mechanisms 13 are arranged on the gluing workbench 11 and are movable in the vertical direction, so that the positioning surface of the first positioning mechanisms 13 can move close to or away from the conveying plane of the first conveying mechanism 12. Through this arrangement, when the first positioning mechanisms 13 position the outer panel in the vertical direction and the first direction, the outer panel cannot move in the first direction under the obstruction of the first positioning mechanisms 13, so the first positioning mechanisms 13 are arranged to be movable in the vertical direction, the outer panel can be lifted by the first positioning mechanisms 13 to be separated from the conveying belt 121, and the outer panel is supported and positioned by the first positioning mechanisms 13, so as to glue the outer panel, after the gluing is completed, the first positioning mechanisms 13 can be lowered until the outer panel is placed on the conveying belt 121, at this time the outer panel is supported by the conveying belt 121, and the first positioning mechanisms 13 are lowered to the outside of the conveying path of the outer panel when the outer panel is conveyed in the first direction, so as to ensure that the conveying belt 121 is not affected by the first positioning mechanisms 13 when conveying the outer panel of the vehicle door.

[0043] Referring to Figures 2-3 As shown, specifically, the first positioning mechanism 13 comprises a first positioning block 131 and a second positioning block 132, wherein the first positioning block 131 is used for positioning the outer panel in the first direction, and the second positioning block 132 is used for supporting and positioning the outer panel in the vertical direction, the first positioning block 131 and the second positioning block 132 are both fixedly installed on a connecting plate 133, and the connecting plate 133 is connected with the gluing workbench 11 through a first driving cylinder 14, the first driving cylinder 14 is a double guide column cylinder, which is connected to a first mounting plate 15 fixed on the gluing workbench 11, the guide column of the first driving cylinder 14 is vertically arranged, and the connecting plate 133 is fixed on the guide column of the first driving cylinder 14; the vertical movement function of the first positioning mechanism 13 on the gluing workbench 11 is realized.

[0044] Referring to Figures 2-3 And Figure 5 As shown, in the embodiment, four first positioning mechanisms 13 are arranged, two first positioning mechanisms 13 are arranged on the two sides of the first conveying mechanism 12, in actual installation, among the two first positioning mechanisms 13 arranged on the same side of the first conveying mechanism 12, two second positioning blocks 132 are located between the two first positioning blocks 131, so that when the two second positioning blocks 132 support and position the outer panel, the two first positioning blocks 131 are respectively located on the two sides of the outer panel in the X direction, so as to play the positioning function of the outer panel in the X direction. And, in the installation, the distance between the two first positioning mechanisms 13 arranged on the two sides of the first conveying mechanism 12 in the second direction which is horizontal and perpendicular to the first direction is greater than 2 / 3 of the width of the outer panel in the Z direction, so as to ensure that the plurality of first positioning mechanisms 13 can stably support the outer panel.

[0045] Referring to Figure 2 and Figures 4-5 Further, the gluing positioning assembly further comprises a plurality of second positioning mechanisms 16 arranged on the gluing workbench 11, and the second positioning mechanisms 16 are used for positioning the outer plate in the vertical direction and the second direction. The second positioning mechanisms 16 are rotationally arranged on the gluing workbench 11, and the second positioning mechanisms 16 can be rotated to positions not intersecting with the path of the outer plate when the outer plate is conveyed on the first conveying mechanism 12.

[0046] Referring to Figure 4 Specifically, the second positioning mechanisms 16 comprise third positioning blocks 161 and fourth positioning blocks 162, wherein the third positioning blocks 161 are used for positioning the outer plate in the vertical direction, and the fourth positioning blocks 162 are used for positioning the outer plate in the second direction. In the embodiment, the third positioning blocks 161 and the fourth positioning blocks 162 are both mounted on a connecting seat 163, and the connecting seat 163 is rotationally connected to a mounting seat 17 fixed on a second mounting plate 19. The rotation axis of the rotational connection between the connecting seat 163 and the mounting seat 17 is parallel to the first direction. The second mounting plate 19 is fixed on the gluing workbench 11. A second driving cylinder 18 is arranged between the connecting seat 163 and the mounting seat 17, and the two ends of the second driving cylinder 18 are respectively hingedly connected to the connecting seat 163 and the mounting seat 17. Thus, the connecting seat 163 can be rotated relative to the gluing workbench 11 by driving the connecting seat 163 through the second driving cylinder 18, so that the third positioning blocks 161 and the fourth positioning blocks 162 can be rotated to positions for positioning the outer plate, or rotated to positions not intersecting with the path of the outer plate when the outer plate is conveyed on the first conveying mechanism 12, so that the outer plate can be positioned when needed, and the conveying of the outer plate will not be hindered when positioning is not needed.

[0047] Referring to Figure 4 Further, the second positioning mechanisms 16 are connected with clamping mechanisms 20, and the clamping mechanisms 20 are used for clamping the outer plate in the vertical direction in cooperation with the third positioning blocks 161. The clamping mechanisms 20 comprise clamping blocks 201 and clamping driving members. The clamping blocks 201 are connected to the second positioning mechanisms 16 through the clamping driving members, so that the clamping blocks 201 can be moved close to or away from the third positioning blocks 161 by driving the clamping blocks 201 through the clamping driving members. Specifically, the clamping driving members are third driving cylinders 202, and the third driving cylinders 202 are fixed on the connecting seat 163. The clamping blocks 201 are located above the third positioning blocks 161 and are fixedly connected with guide columns of the third driving cylinders 202, so that the clamping blocks 201 can be moved close to or away from the third positioning blocks 161 by driving the clamping blocks 201 through the third driving cylinders 202. When the third positioning blocks 161 support the bottom of the outer plate, the clamping blocks 201 can clamp the outer plate in cooperation with the third positioning blocks 161 above the outer plate, so that the outer plate is fixed for gluing.

[0048] Referring to Figure 2 and Figures 4-5As shown, in the embodiment, four second positioning mechanisms 16 are arranged, two second positioning mechanisms 16 are arranged on the two sides of the first conveying mechanism 12 respectively, and in actual installation, when the second positioning mechanisms 16 are in the working state of positioning the outer plate, among the second positioning mechanisms 16, the third positioning block 161 is closer to the first conveying mechanism 12 than the fourth positioning block 162, so that when the third positioning block 161 supports the outer plate, the fourth positioning block 162 is located outside the outer plate in the Y direction to position the outer plate from the Y direction. And when installing the second positioning mechanisms 16, the interval of the two second positioning mechanisms 16 on the same side of the first conveying mechanism 12 in the first direction is greater than 2 / 3 of the X direction width of the outer plate, so as to ensure good positioning of the door outer plate.

[0049] Further, the second positioning block 132 and the third positioning block 161 are profiled according to the profile at the contact position with the door outer plate, so as to ensure that they can effectively contact and fit the door outer plate, and ensure that the door outer plate is in a horizontal state as a whole.

[0050] The working logic of the gluing jig 1 is as follows: according to the current production information, the jig is first switched to the loading state of the corresponding vehicle model, that is, the first positioning mechanism 13 is switched to the working position (the state in which the first positioning mechanism 13 can position the outer plate, and the outer plate does not contact the first conveying mechanism 12), the second positioning mechanism 16 is switched to the working position (the state in which the second positioning mechanism 16 can position the outer plate), and the clamping mechanism 20 is switched to the rest position (the state in which the clamping block 201 and the third positioning block 161 do not clamp the outer plate); then the operator completes the loading, and the first positioning mechanism 13 and the second positioning mechanism 16 jointly realize the positioning of the outer plate, so as to ensure the accuracy and consistency of the positioning; after the loading is completed, the clamping mechanism 20 is switched to the working position (the state in which the clamping block 201 and the third positioning block 161 clamp the outer plate), at this time, the gluing jig 1 is in the gluing state, and the outer plate can be glued; after the gluing is completed, the clamping mechanism 20 is switched to the rest position, and then the second positioning mechanism 16 is switched to the rest position (the state in which the second positioning mechanism 16 does not intersect the path of the outer plate when the outer plate is conveyed on the first conveying mechanism 12), at this time, only the first positioning mechanism 13 supports and positions the outer plate; then the first positioning mechanism 13 is switched to the rest position (the outer plate falls on the first conveying mechanism 12, the first conveying mechanism 12 supports the outer plate, and the first positioning mechanism 13 does not contact the outer plate), at this time, the outer plate can be conveyed by the first conveying mechanism 12 to the assembling jig 2, and when the outer plate completely leaves the first conveying mechanism 12, the first conveying mechanism 12 stops running.

[0051] Reference Figure 1As shown, the assembly fixture 2 comprises an assembly workbench 21, a second conveying mechanism 22 arranged on the assembly workbench 21 and used for conveying the outer panel in the first direction; the assembly positioning assembly comprises a plurality of third positioning mechanisms 23 and a plurality of fourth positioning mechanisms 24 arranged on the assembly workbench 21, the third positioning mechanisms 23 are used for positioning the outer panel in the vertical direction and the first direction, and the third positioning mechanisms 23 are movably arranged on the assembly workbench 21 in the vertical direction, so that the positioning surface of the third positioning mechanisms 23 can move close to or away from the conveying plane of the second conveying mechanism 22, and the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 are used for positioning the outer panel in the vertical direction and the second direction, the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 are rotationally arranged on the gluing workbench 11, and the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 can be rotated to not intersect with the path of the outer panel conveyed on the second conveying mechanism 22. In the embodiment, the second conveying mechanism 22 is the same as the first conveying mechanism 12, and the conveying belt 121 of the second conveying mechanism 22 is connected with the conveying belt 121 of the first conveying mechanism 12; the third positioning mechanisms 23 are the same as the first positioning mechanisms 13 in structure, number and mounting mode, and can be adjusted according to the actual positioning needs during assembly, so as to realize the positioning function of the third positioning mechanisms 23, and the function of supporting the outer panel from the second conveying mechanism 22 and positioning the outer panel; the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 are the same as the second positioning mechanisms 16 in structure, number and mounting mode, and can be adjusted according to the actual positioning needs during assembly, so as to realize the positioning function of the fourth positioning mechanisms 24, and the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 are not provided with the clamping mechanism 20, and the outer panel is not clamped on the assembly fixture 2, so as to facilitate the assembly of the inner panel and the outer panel.

[0052] The working logic of the assembly fixture 2 is as follows: when the outer panel is on the gluing fixture 1, the third positioning mechanisms 23 and the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 are switched to the rest position, when the outer panel is about to enter the assembly fixture 2, the control system sends a signal to the assembly fixture 2, the second conveying mechanism 22 starts to receive the outer panel, and stops running after conveying the outer panel to the assembly position; then the third positioning mechanisms 23 are switched to the working position, the third positioning mechanisms 23 support and position the outer panel, and then the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 are switched to the working position, at this time, the third positioning mechanisms 23 and the fourth positioning mechanisms 24 jointly position the outer panel, the assembly fixture 2 is in the assembly state, and the assembly of the inner panel and the outer panel can be performed.

[0053] Referring to Figure 1 As shown, further, a guide plate 3 is arranged between the gluing fixture 1 and the assembly fixture 2, so as to guide and correct the position of the outer panel during conveying, avoid excessive deflection of the position of the outer panel during conveying, and correct the position of the outer panel which has been deflected; the length and number of the guide plate 3 are designed according to actual needs.

[0054] Referring to Figures 2-4As shown, further, the first positioning plate and the second positioning plate are both fixed on the gluing workbench 11 by bolts, and a plurality of groups of mounting holes with different positions are arranged on the gluing workbench 11, so that the mounting position requirements of the corresponding first positioning mechanism 13 and the second positioning mechanism 16 can be met for the outer plates of different vehicle models, and the positioning requirements of the outer plates of different vehicle models can be adapted. Correspondingly, a plurality of groups of mounting holes with different positions are also arranged on the assembling workbench 21, so that the mounting position requirements of the corresponding third positioning mechanism 23 and the fourth positioning mechanism 24 can be met for the outer plates of different vehicle models, and the positioning requirements of the outer plates of different vehicle models can be adapted.

[0057] The inner and outer plate assembling process in this embodiment is as follows:

[0058] The outer plate gluing and assembling system switches to the state of the current vehicle model to be produced according to the production instruction, at this time, the first positioning mechanism 13 and the second positioning mechanism 16 of the gluing clamp 1 are all switched to the working position, the second clamping mechanism 20 is switched to the rest position, and the third positioning mechanism 23 and the fourth positioning mechanism 24 are switched to the rest position.

[0059] The operator installs the vehicle door outer plate to the gluing clamp 1, the first positioning mechanism 13 and the second positioning mechanism 16 position the outer plate, after confirming the positioning, the clamping mechanism 20 is switched to the working position to clamp the outer plate in place.

[0060] The first robot 4 with the glue gun completes the glue coating of the outer plate. After the glue coating is completed, the first robot 4 with the glue gun returns to the original position. At the same time, the second robot 5 picks up the welded door inner plate assembly from the previous process, completes the glue coating of the door inner plate assembly, and waits for assembly outside the assembly fixture 2 with the door inner plate.

[0061] The clamping mechanism 20 in the glue coating fixture 1 switches to the rest position, and then the second positioning mechanism 16 switches to the rest position. After that, the first positioning mechanism 13 switches to the rest position, and the door outer plate is supported by the first conveying mechanism 12.

[0062] The first conveying mechanism 12 starts to convey the outer plate to the assembly fixture 2. When the sensor detects that the outer plate is about to reach the assembly fixture 2, the second conveying mechanism 22 starts to receive the outer plate and cooperates with the first conveying mechanism 12 to complete the transmission of the door outer plate between the glue coating fixture 1 and the assembly fixture 2. When the door outer plate leaves the first conveying mechanism 12, the first conveying mechanism 12 stops running. The second conveying mechanism 22 stops running after conveying the door outer plate to the assembly position.

[0063] The third positioning mechanism 23 switches to the working position, and the third positioning mechanism 23 supports and positions the outer plate. Then the fourth positioning mechanism 24 switches to the working position. At this time, the third positioning mechanism 23 and the fourth positioning mechanism 24 cooperate to position the outer plate.

[0064] The second robot 5 with the glued door inner plate assembly completes the assembly with the outer plate on the assembly fixture 2, and then carries the assembled inner and outer plates to the next process. The third positioning mechanism 23 and the fourth positioning mechanism 24 of the assembly fixture 2 switch to the rest position, completing the assembly of a set of door inner and outer plates. Repeat the above steps to cycle the assembly of the inner and outer plates.

[0065] The technical scheme of the present application has the following advantages:

[0066] 1. Compared with the rotary table fixture scheme, the occupied area can be greatly saved.

[0067] 2. The technical scheme of the present application divides the glue coating of the door outer plate and the assembly of the inner and outer plates into two processes, which can effectively improve the production efficiency.

[0068] 3. When the door outer plate is glued, the outer plate is basically in a horizontal state (the door outer plate of the rotary table scheme has a large angle with the ground), which is more conducive to ensuring the glue coating quality of the outer plate.

[0069] 4. When a new vehicle model is introduced, the positioning scheme of the previous vehicle model can be simply changed by adding or replacing a special positioning mechanism for the new vehicle model, which is low in cost and high in efficiency.

[0070] The above merely describes preferred embodiments of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application, and any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present application shall be included in the protection scope of the present application.
