Detailed implementation mode

[0024] The following will clearly and completely describe the above and other implementation modes and advantages of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described implementation modes are only part of the implementation modes of the present invention, rather than all of them.

[0025] In one implementation mode, as Figures 4-5 shown.

[0026] The integrated automobile cylinder head cover production device provided in this embodiment includes a tooling seat 2 arranged on one side of the conveyor belt 1 of the assembly line, and the tooling seat 2 is respectively provided with a plurality of first operating devices 3 and a plurality of second operating devices 4 along both sides of the assembly line. A mechanical arm 5 for clamping the automobile cylinder head cover is provided on the side of the tooling seat 2 away from the conveyor belt 1, and a hole-making device 6 for making holes is also provided on the side where the mechanical arm 5 is located. A projection device 7 and a CCD camera 8 are provided above the tooling seat 2. The projection device 7 is used to project corresponding to the three The tooling seat 2 is provided with a plurality of electrically controlled lifting columns 9, and the tooling seat 2 is also provided with a plurality of freely movable iron bottom supports 10, the number of the bottom supports 10 being equal to the number of the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 combined, and an electrically controlled magnetic suction device 11 is provided at the bottom of the tooling seat 2, and the magnetic suction device 11 uses the tooling seat 2 as a suction plate, and when the magnetic suction device 11 is powered on, the position of the iron bottom support 10 on the tooling seat 2 is fixed; the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 both include a plurality of electrically controlled lifting columns 9, and the plurality of electrically controlled lifting columns 9 are provided on the tooling seat 2 ... The invention relates to a rotating seat 12 which is arranged on the rotating seat 12 and extends in the horizontal direction toward the top of a bottom support 10, a telescopic electric cylinder 13 which is arranged on the telescopic electric cylinder 13 and extends in the vertical direction, a clamping cylinder 15 which is arranged at the lower end of the lifting electric cylinder 14, and a first clamping plate 16 and a second clamping plate 17 which are operatively connected to both sides of the clamping cylinder 15. A fine-tuning motor 18 for driving the clamping cylinder 15 to rotate around the axis of the lifting electric cylinder 14 is also arranged at the lower end of the lifting electric cylinder 14. The first clamping plate 16 is provided with a motor 18 which is arranged along the axis of the lifting electric cylinder 14. The pressure block 19 protrudes in the horizontal direction, and the lifting column 9 is selectively ejected according to three processing scenarios. The first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 adjust the position of the bottom support 10 on the tooling seat 2 according to the three position contours on the tooling seat 2. The CCD camera 8 is used to detect the position of the bottom support 10 on the tooling seat 2. The magnetic suction device 11 is energized when the position of the bottom support 10 is adjusted into place. The pressure block 19 can be extended into the clamping position of the automobile cylinder head cover through the drive of the swivel seat 12, the telescopic electric cylinder 13, the lifting electric cylinder 14, and the fine-tuning motor 18.

[0027] In this embodiment, when the automobile cylinder head cover to be processed is transferred to the workstation 2 along the assembly line, it is clamped by the robot arm 5, which is different from the above-mentioned background technology. Figures 1-3 The three workstations shown in the embodiment are integrated into a single workstation through the above improvements to achieve the functions that the three workstations can achieve. The workstation corresponds to three processing scenarios, and the actions of each component are controlled by three sets of control programs set corresponding to the three processing scenarios.

[0028] In a set of control programs, some of the jacking columns 9 are selected to be jacked up so that the jacked-up jacking columns 9 can correspond one by one to the bottom hole positions of the automotive cylinder head cover in the current processing scenario. It should be noted that the automotive cylinder head cover has three surfaces to be processed, and the bottom hole positions are different for each surface to be processed. In this embodiment, all the jacking columns 9 correspond to the sets of bottom hole positions of the automotive cylinder head cover in three processing scenarios. For any processing scenario, some of the jacking columns 9 need to be selected to be jacked up so that the jacked-up jacking columns 9 can correspond one by one to the bottom hole positions of the automotive cylinder head cover in the current processing scenario. Structurally, due to the need for jacking, the jacking columns 9 are slightly different from the fixed columns on the original tooling base.

[0029] Then, the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 adjust the position of the bottom support 10 according to the first driving path, and then, through the CCD camera 8 and the compensatory second driving path as a basis, the position of the bottom support 10 is adjusted in place, and then the magnetic attraction device 11 is energized to fix the position of the bottom support 10. It should be noted that in the three processing scenarios, there are corresponding bottom supports 10 with their respective position forms. The specific position information is pre-debugged and stored in the program, and a CCD camera and a projection device are also set to ensure the accuracy of the position. The main function of the bottom support 10 is to support the bottom of the automotive cylinder head cover, which is slightly different from the positioning function of the jacking columns 9. In terms of the connection relationship, due to the need for movement, the bottom support 10 is different from the bottom support on the original tooling base.

[0030] Next, the robotic arm 5 for gripping the automotive cylinder head cover places the automotive cylinder head cover on the tooling base 2 according to the third driving path, and then the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 rotate out, extend, and press the pressing block 19 into the clamping position of the automotive cylinder head cover to fix the automotive cylinder head cover on the tooling base 2. Originally, the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 were used to adjust the position of the bottom support 10. After the pressing block 19 is set, they can also be used to press the automotive cylinder head cover. Because the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 have four-axis drive, that is, the circumferential drive of the turntable 12 and the fine-tuning motor 18 and the linear drive of the telescopic cylinder 13 and the lifting cylinder 14. This enables the pressing block 19 to extend into the clamping positions at different heights of the automotive cylinder head cover and press it tightly.

[0031] Finally, the hole drilling equipment 6 located on the same side as the robotic arm 6 drills holes. Through the above operations, the original three workstations are actually integrated into a single workstation. Conventionally, one workstation corresponds to one hole drilling equipment 6. Therefore, the hole position error of the processed automotive cylinder head cover is smaller, and thus the manufacturing accuracy is improved.

[0050] In one embodiment, as Figure 6 shown.

[0051] For the production device of the integrated automobile cylinder head cover provided in this embodiment, a first signal switch 28 and a second signal switch 29 are provided on the clamping cylinder 15. The first signal switch 28 is used to detect the clamping action of the first clamping plate 16, and the second signal switch 29 is used to detect the clamping action of the second clamping plate 17.

[0052] In this embodiment, by using the first signal switch 28 and the second signal switch 29 to detect the clamping actions of the first clamping plate 16 and the second clamping plate 17, it can be measured whether the clamping is in place.

[0053] In one embodiment, as Figure 4 shown.

[0055] In this embodiment, a specific structure of the conveyor belt 1 is provided.

[0056] In one embodiment, a production method of an integrated automobile cylinder head cover is provided based on the above production device of the integrated automobile cylinder head cover. The method includes a first fixing step: according to one set retrieved from three sets of control programs set corresponding to three processing scenarios, eject selected ones of a plurality of lifting columns so that the ejected lifting columns can correspond one by one to the bottom hole positions of the automobile cylinder head cover in the current processing scenario; a second fixing step: according to the retrieved control program, generate a first driving path for the first operating device and the second operating device to clamp the corresponding bottom support and adjust its position, and then, according to whether the bottom support is recognized by the CCD camera to fall within the position contour line corresponding to the current processing scenario projected by the projection device on the tooling seat, and when any bottom support does not fall within the position contour line, generate a second driving path for driving the corresponding first operating device or second operating device until all bottom supports fall within the position contour line, and then energize the magnetic attraction device to fix the position of the bottom support; a placing step: according to the retrieved control program, generate a third driving path for the robotic arm to clamp and place the automobile cylinder head cover on the tooling seat according to the placing requirements of the current processing scenario, so that the bottom hole positions of the automobile cylinder head cover correspond one by one to the ejected lifting columns; a pressing step: according to the retrieved control program, generate a fourth driving path for the first operating device and the second operating device to rotate out, extend into, and press the pressing blocks against the clamping positions of the automobile cylinder head cover, so that the automobile cylinder head cover is fixed on the tooling seat; a hole machining step: perform hole machining by a hole machining device located on the same side as the robotic arm.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the automotive cylinder head cover to be processed is conveyed to the station where the tooling seat 2 is located along the assembly line, it is clamped by the robotic arm 5. There are three processing scenarios corresponding to this station, and the actions of each component are controlled by three sets of control programs set for the three processing scenarios. In one set of control programs, the selected ones among a number of lifting columns 9 are made to eject, so that the ejected lifting columns 9 can correspond one by one to the bottom hole positions of the automotive cylinder head cover in the current processing scenario. Then, the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 adjust the position of the bottom support 10 according to the first driving path, and then, through the CCD camera 8 and the compensating second driving path as a basis, the position of the bottom support 10 is adjusted in place, and then the magnetic attraction device 11 is energized to fix the position of the bottom support 10.

Originally, the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 were used to adjust the position of the bottom support 10, and after the pressing block 19 was provided, they can also be used to press the automotive cylinder head cover. Because the first operating device 3 and the second operating device 4 have four-axis driving, that is, the rotary base 12, the circumferential driving of the fine-tuning motor 18, and the linear driving of the telescopic electric cylinder 13 and the lifting electric cylinder 14.
