Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of harmonic reducer automation production, and particularly to a harmonic reducer automatic assembly machine and an assembly process thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] The harmonic reducer is a high-performance reducer, and has incomparable excellent positioning precision characteristics. The harmonic reducer is composed of three basic parts (wave generator, flexspline and rigid wheel) using metal elasticity, and is widely used in the field of mechanical equipment manufacturing. The wave generator is an elliptical cam outer ring embedded with a thin ball bearing, and the whole is an elliptical part. The inner ring of the bearing is fixed on the elliptical cam, and the outer ring is elastically deformed by the ball. The wave generator is installed on the motor shaft. The flexspline is a thin cup-shaped metal elastic body part. The outer edge of the gear ring part is engraved with small teeth. The flexspline is installed at the output shaft of the reducer. The rigid wheel is a rigid internal gear, and the inner side is engraved with small teeth of the same size as the flexspline, and has 2 more teeth than the flexspline. The outer ring part is fixed on the reducer housing.
[0003] In actual use, the three basic parts are combined. The flexspline deforms with the wave generator into an elliptical shape, and the long axis part of the ellipse is engaged with the small teeth of the rigid wheel, and the short axis part of the teeth is completely separated. The rigid wheel is fixed, and the wave generator (input) is rotated clockwise. At this time, the flexspline will be elastically deformed, and the position of the small teeth engaged with the rigid wheel will move in sequence.
[0004] The wave generator rotates one circle, and the flexspline moves 2 teeth less than the rigid wheel, so it moves in the opposite direction of the wave generator, that is, counterclockwise. The output of this action is decelerated.
[0005] The design process of the harmonic reducer can be known that the wave generator is an elliptical structure, the flexspline gear ring is a deformable elliptical structure, and the steel wheel is a rigid structure with a gear rack in the middle hole. In the harmonic reducer assembly production process, the steel wheel is first sleeved on the flexspline gear ring, so that the gear rack on the inner hole wall of the steel wheel is engaged with the gear rack on the outer wall of the gear ring. Then the seat body outside the steel wheel and the gear ring is fixed. Finally, the wave generator is installed in the inner hole of the flexspline gear ring.
[0006] At present, the harmonic reducer assembly can only be carried out in an artificial way, and no automatic harmonic reducer assembly equipment has appeared on the market. The technical difficulties to be broken through in the harmonic reducer assembly process are as follows: 1. When the rigid steel wheel and the flexible gear ring are assembled, the shapes and the number of the teeth of the two are different, that is, the steel wheel is a circular structure, and the flexible wheel is an elliptical structure. The steel wheel needs to be strongly pressed on the gear ring by interference pressure. This process is prone to tooth collapse; 2. When the wave generator and the flexible wheel are assembled, both of them are elliptical structures. The major axis and the minor axis of the two ellipses cannot be completely aligned every time, so it is easy to appear assembly jamming, which causes the flexible wheel to deform too much and be damaged.

The special feature is that the steel gear assembling robot adopts a swing assembling mode, that is, the steel gear is gradually pressed into the flexible gear by rotating and swinging back and forth during the steel gear assembling process, so that the steel gear can be effectively prevented from being stuck and the teeth can be effectively prevented from being broken during the traditional straight pressing assembling process; the steel gear assembling head of the steel gear assembling robot is integrated with a steel gear assembling pressure sensing assembly, the steel gear assembling pressure sensing assembly is located above the steel gear clamping assembly, and when the steel gear clamping assembly clamps the steel gear and assembles the steel gear downward to the flexible gear, the sensing column of the steel gear assembling pressure sensing assembly is pushed against the steel gear, the upward reaction force generated by the steel gear during the assembling process is transmitted to the first pressure sensor in real time through the sensing column, the first pressure sensor detects the force received by the steel gear from the flexible gear in real time, and when the force is suddenly increased, the industrial computer is used to control the steel gear assembling robot to adjust the position or angle of the steel gear in time, so that the steel gear can be effectively prevented from being stuck and the teeth can be effectively prevented from being broken. After the steel gear is assembled, the outer contour and position of the assembled steel gear are shot again from above by the shooting and correcting mechanism, the outer contour of the assembled steel gear is compared, the industrial computer controls the shooting and correcting mechanism to insert into the steel gear downward, and the steel gear is rotated and adjusted in the horizontal plane to make the screw holes on the steel gear and the flexible gear aligned vertically. After the position of the steel gear and the flexible gear is corrected, the moving and fixing mechanism moves the two to the second platform, and then the moving and fixing mechanism moves the screws by vacuum adsorption, and then the screws are moved and inserted into the aligned screw holes of the steel gear and the flexible gear from top to bottom, and the screws are rotated into the screw holes to fix the steel gear and the flexible gear. The second platform moves the fixed steel gear and flexible gear to the position below the wave generator assembling robot, the CCD lens arranged on the wave generator assembling robot shoots the contour and position information of the steel gear and the flexible gear downward, the wave generator assembling robot takes the wave generator from the outside, moves the wave generator to the position above the CCD mechanism, the CCD mechanism shoots the position information of the wave generator upward, the industrial computer matches the information, and controls the wave generator assembling robot to assemble the wave generator downward into the gear ring of the flexible gear.In particular, since the wave generator and the flexible gear ring are both elliptical structures, the long axis and the short axis of the two cannot be aligned with each other in real time during assembly, so it is easy to cause jamming and excessive deformation of the gear ring during assembly. To solve this technical problem, the wave generator of the present application adopts a back-and-forth rotating assembly method, that is, while the wave generator is gradually embedded in the flexible gear ring, the wave generator assembly robot drives the wave generator to move back and forth in the horizontal plane, realizing flexible assembly, correcting errors in time during assembly, avoiding single-point jamming, and improving the assembly yield and assembly efficiency. At the same time, in order to avoid the influence of the self-weight of the wave generator on the downward pressure on the wave generator during assembly, excessive deformation of the gear ring occurs due to excessive pressure. The wave generator assembly robot of the present application provides an upward lifting force through the assembly weight reduction assembly, thereby offsetting the self-weight and completing assembly through the downward pressure (5-10N) formed by the self-weight of the wave generator. In addition, the wave generator assembly robot of the present application integrates a pressure sensing assembly, which realizes real-time detection and monitoring of the assembly pressure during assembly, thereby adjusting the output force of the assembly weight reduction assembly in real time, further reducing assembly jamming, and improving the assembly yield.
