Description

[0002] As an important structural part in the automobile chassis suspension system, the function of the automobile swing arm is to connect the vehicle body and the brake and transmit loads between them. When designing the automobile swing arm, it is required to have sufficient strength and reliability, and at the same time, it is also required to minimize weight, size and cost. The swing arm assembly mainly includes a swing arm body, a front bushing, a rear bushing and a ball pin.

Detailed implementation mode

[0030] The embodiments of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0031] Embodiment 1

[0032] As Figure 1 shown; A truss-type automatic loading and unloading device, characterized in that it includes an ultra-long sliding beam 1, a loading and unloading detection mechanism 2, a sliding beam rack, a belt conveyor and a controller. A plurality of the loading and unloading detection mechanisms 2 are slidably connected to the ultra-long sliding beam 1 and electrically connected to the controller. The belt conveyor is installed below the ultra-long sliding beam 1 and is used for conveying ball pin seats. The sliding beam rack is installed on the ultra-long sliding beam 1 and cooperates with the loading and unloading detection mechanism 2. The loading and unloading detection mechanism 2 includes a moving seat 3, a displacement ram 4, a lifting ram 5, a claw 7 and a measuring device. The moving seat 3 is slidably connected to the ultra-long sliding beam 1 and drives the displacement ram 4 to move horizontally. The displacement ram 4 is slidably connected to the moving seat 3 and drives the lifting ram 5 to move vertically. The lifting ram 5 is slidably connected to one end of the displacement ram 4 and drives the claw 7 to move up and down. The claw 7 is connected to the lower end of the lifting ram 5 and is used for grasping ball pin seats. The measuring device is installed on the moving seat 3 and is used for detecting ball pin seats.

[0033] Among them, the ball pin seat blank is continuously conveyed to the fixture for positioning through a vibrating disk or a feeding device, and then grabbed and conveyed by the loading and unloading detection mechanism 2. The loading and unloading detection mechanism 2 clamps and conveys the ball pin seat blank and installs it on the machining center. The machining of the ball pin seat is completed by the machining center. After machining, the loading and unloading detection mechanism 2 removes the ball pin seat and detects its dimensions. After the detection is completed, the data is sent to the controller, and then the controller analyzes the data to perform tool compensation on the machining center. At the same time, the loading and unloading detection mechanism 2 conveys the detected ball pin seat to the belt conveyor, and the belt conveyor conveys the ball pin seat to the material basin; specifically, when the loading and unloading detection mechanism 2 works, the moving seat 3 moves on the ultra-long sliding beam 1 for long-distance displacement, so as to realize the displacement of the loading and unloading detection mechanism 2 between multiple machining centers and the action of picking up and installing materials between the vibrating disk or the feeding device. Then, the displacement slide block 4 drives the lifting slide block 5 to move back and forth, and the lifting slide block 5 drives the clamping jaw 7 to move up and down, so that the clamping jaw 7 completes the actions of grabbing the ball pin seat blank and removing the ball pin seat, and conveys the machined ball pin seat to the measuring device for detection; the inner hole diameter of the ball pin seat is denoted as the X direction, and the inner hole depth of the pin seat is denoted as the Y direction, which is convenient for subsequent description and understanding. At the same time, the sliding connection is preferably connected by a high-precision slide rail or a dovetail groove and a slider, which can effectively ensure the accuracy and stability.

[0034] In another embodiment of the present invention, the measuring device includes a feeding device 8 and a measuring mechanism 9. The feeding device 8 is arranged below the measuring mechanism 9 and conveys the ball pin seat to the measuring mechanism 9; the measuring mechanism 9 includes a dovetail slide plate 91, a measuring cylinder 92, a displacement seat 93, a horizontal optical scale 94, a fixed detection device 95 and a moving detection device 96. The dovetail slide plate 91 is fixed on the moving seat 3 and is slidably connected to the displacement seat 93. The measuring cylinder 92 is installed on the displacement seat 93 and the piston rod penetrates through the displacement seat 93 and is connected to the moving seat 3. The horizontal optical scale 94 is installed on the moving seat 3 and the measuring end is connected to the displacement seat 93. The fixed detection device 95 and the moving detection device 96 are respectively installed on the moving seat 3 and the displacement seat 93.

[0035] Specifically, the clamping jaw 7 transports the ball pin seat to the feeding device 8, and the feeding device 8 transports the ball pin seat to the measurement position of the measurement mechanism 9. At this time, the measurement end of the moving detection device 96 restricts the movement position of the ball pin seat driven by the feeding device 8. Then, the measurement end of the fixed detection device 95 is inserted into the inner hole of the ball pin seat. Next, the measurement end of the moving detection device 96 moves. Subsequently, the feeding device 8 continues to push the ball pin seat to move, so that one side of the ball pin seat is restricted between the measurement end of the fixed detection device 95 and the pushing end of the feeding device 8. Then, the measurement end of the moving detection device 96 is inserted into the aperture of the ball pin seat. At this time, the measurement ends of both the fixed detection device 95 and the moving detection device 96 are inserted into the aperture of the ball pin seat. Then, the displacement seat 93 is driven by the measurement cylinder 92 to move, so that the measurement end of the moving detection device 96 moves away from the measurement end of the fixed detection device 95, and the distance of separation is measured by the horizontal optical scale 94, so that the measurement ends of the moving detection device 96 and the fixed detection device 95 move away from each other and clamp the inner aperture of the ball pin seat to complete the X-direction movement, achieving the measurement of the data of the inner hole of the ball pin seat.

[0036] In another embodiment of the present invention, both the fixed detection device 95 and the moving detection device 96 include a slide bar 97, a deep optical scale 98, a displacement rod 99, an adjustment slider 910, a measurement column 911, a measurement cylinder 913 and bolts. One end of the displacement rod 99 is connected to the slide bar 97. The adjustment slider 910 is slidably connected to the displacement rod 99 and positioned by bolts. The measurement column 911 is connected to the adjustment slider 910. The deep optical scale 98 is installed on the slide bar 97 and the measurement ends are respectively connected to the corresponding moving seat 3 and displacement seat 93. The measurement cylinders 913 of the fixed detection device 95 and the moving detection device 96 are respectively installed on the moving seat 3 and the displacement seat 93, and the piston rods are connected to the displacement rod 99. The slide bars 97 of the fixed detection device 95 and the moving detection device 96 are respectively slidably connected to the moving seat 3 and the displacement seat 93.

[0037] Specifically, by measuring, the cylinder 913 drives the displacement rod 99Y to move, so that the measuring columns 911 of the fixed detection device 95 and the moving detection device 96 cooperate to move and insert into the inner hole of the ball pin seat. When the two measuring columns 911 measure the inner hole of the ball pin seat, the ball pin seat on it moves together with the displacement rod 99Y driven by the measuring cylinder 913 and contacts the feeding device 8. After the ball pin seat contacts the feeding device 8, the contact point is set as the basic measurement point and recorded as the Y-direction 0 point. When the two measuring columns 911 measure the inner hole of the ball pin seat, X1, X2... need to be set, which are multiple measurement points for the inner hole of the ball pin seat. One end of the measuring column 911 will contact the step difference of different inner holes of the ball pin seat when moving in the Y direction, recorded as the size of Y1 at X1 and the size of Y2 at X2, and so on to measure the diameter and length of different apertures; adjust the position of the slider 910 according to the size of the inner hole of different ball pin seats, mainly adjust the measuring column 911 above the axis of the inner hole of the ball pin seat to facilitate hole position measurement. For example, when measuring below the axis, the ball pin seat itself contacts the feeding device 8 and cannot adjust its aperture position by itself when the two measuring columns 911 are far apart, resulting in errors in aperture measurement; after the measurement is completed, control the measuring column 911 of the fixed detection device 95 to move out of the inner hole of the ball pin seat, and the measuring column 911 of the moving detection device 96 drives and continues to move, so that the ball pin seat moves to the guiding part of the feeding device 8. At this time, the measuring column 911 horizontally moves out of the inner hole of the ball pin seat, and the feeding device 8 restricts the ball pin seat from moving with the measuring column 911, so that the measuring column 911 exits the inner hole of the ball pin seat, achieving the purpose of the ball pin seat blanking action.

[0038] In another embodiment of the present invention, it includes a stabilizing column 912 and a sliding sleeve. One end of the stabilizing column 912 is connected to the displacement rod 99. One ends of the stabilizing columns 912 of the fixed detection device 95 and the moving detection device 96 are respectively connected to the moving seat 3 and the displacement seat 93 through the sliding sleeve.

[0039] Specifically, the sliding sleeve is used in cooperation with the stabilizing column 912 to improve the stability of the displacement rod 99 when moving. The sliding sleeve and the stabilizing column 912 need to be matched with high precision to ensure better stability when the two measuring columns 911 are far apart and avoid loss of measurement accuracy.

[0040] In another embodiment of the present invention, the measuring column 911 is a stepped column.

[0041] Specifically, when using a stepped column, its stepped part can push the ball pin seat, making the positioning effect of the ball pin seat fast and better.

[0042] In another embodiment of the present invention, the feeding device 8 includes an online projection image measuring instrument 81, a fixed frame 82, a fixed plate 83, a displacement rodless cylinder 84, a displacement limiting rod 85, a horizontal plate 86 and a material guide slide. The online projection image measuring instrument 81 is installed on the moving seat 3 and is used to measure the outer contour of the ball pin seat. The fixed plate 83 is connected to the moving seat 3 through the fixed frame 82. The horizontal plate 86 and the displacement rodless cylinder 84 are respectively connected to the upper and lower sides of the fixed plate 83. The displacement limiting rod 85 is installed on the piston rod of the displacement rodless cylinder 84. The fixed plate 83 and the horizontal plate 86 are provided with avoidance slots for the displacement limiting rod 85 to pass through. The material guide slide is installed on the fixed plate 83 and transports the ball pin seat to the belt conveyor.

[0043] Specifically, the clamping jaws 7 transport the ball pin seat to the horizontal plate 86. At this time, the online projection image measuring instrument 81 measures the outer contour of the ball pin seat, and the clamping jaws 7 can be used to place the ball pin seat in front of the horizontal plate 86 for measurement. Then the displacement rodless cylinder 84 drives the displacement limit rod 85 to move, and the displacement limit rod 85 pushes the ball pin seat to move. Subsequently, two positioning operations are required. The first time, the displacement limit rod 85 cooperates with the measuring column 911 of the mobile detection device 96 to limit the ball pin seat, so that the measuring column 911 of the fixed detection device 95 is inserted into the inner hole of the ball pin seat; then the second positioning is performed, and the measuring column 911 of the fixed detection device 95 cooperates with the displacement limit rod 85 to clamp the side wall of the ball pin seat, so that the measuring column 911 of the mobile detection device 96 is displaced and inserted into the inner hole of the ball pin seat. After the positioning work is completed, the displacement limit rod 85 is reset, so that the measuring column 911 can detect the inner hole of the ball pin seat. After the detection is completed, the ball pin seat is slid out and transported to the belt conveyor through the material guide slide.

[0045] Specifically, the quick connector is connected to the air pipe so that the air pipe guides the high-pressure gas from the blow pipe 65 into the air nozzle, and then the high-pressure gas is discharged through the air nozzle so that the high-pressure gas cleans the inner hole of the ball pin seat to prevent dirt from affecting the measurement accuracy of the ball pin seat. The push plate 64 is driven to move by the displacement cylinder 62, and the push plate 64 drives the blow pipe 65 so that the air nozzle at one end of the blow pipe 65 is close to the ball pin seat.
