Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of new energy vehicle technology and relates to an orthopedic device. Background Technology

[0002] Power battery-powered new energy vehicles achieve clean and environmentally friendly transportation by converting electrical energy provided by batteries into mechanical energy. Therefore, they have high requirements for hard indicators such as battery storage capacity, fast charging and discharging, and energy density. At the same time, they also have essential usage requirements such as battery safety, stability, and long life.

[0003] Since the battery is the key component of new energy vehicles, and the battery is placed inside the battery box, which requires a lightweight design while also needing good strength and sufficient space, the new energy battery box requires an aluminum alloy frame. During the production of the new energy battery box frame, robotic welding generates a large amount of heat, causing deformation of the product. This deformation is uncontrollable and cannot be corrected using the welding fixture itself. The welding equipment itself needs to consider welding posture, equipment capacity, and cycle time, making it impossible to correct the welded part using the original fixture. Current methods for controlling battery box deformation rely on manual control, using tools such as hammers to straighten the parts on a straightening fixture. However, the quality of the straightened part is poor and uncontrollable. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the aforementioned problems in existing technologies by proposing an orthopedic device that can precisely control the amount of orthopedic correction and improve product quality.

[0005] The objective of this invention can be achieved through the following technical solution: an orthopedic device, comprising:

[0006] The frame is provided with a straightening space, and a product inlet and a product outlet are provided in the straightening space along the product conveying direction. The product inlet is provided with a tooling for positioning the product and for detecting the deformation position and deformation amount of the current product. The product outlet is provided with a picking mechanism and for outputting the straightened qualified product.

[0007] An orthotic mechanism is installed within an orthotic space, and the orthotic mechanism includes a first orthotic component and a second orthotic component. The output direction of the first orthotic component is consistent with the conveying direction of the product, thereby correcting the deformed position of the product along its conveying direction. The output direction of the second orthotic component is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the product, thereby correcting the deformed position of the product perpendicular to its conveying direction.

[0008] The gripping mechanism, installed within the orthopedic space, places the orthopedic products from the tooling onto the picking mechanism, which then outputs the qualified products.

[0009] In one of the above-mentioned orthopedic devices, when the first orthopedic component is used to orthodontize a product along its conveying direction, the output end of the first orthopedic component contacts the surface of the product along its conveying direction. The output end of the first orthopedic component is provided with a first rotating shaft, the axis of which is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the product, and a first orthopedic block that contacts the product surface is nested on the first rotating shaft. When the second orthopedic component is used to orthodontize a product along a direction perpendicular to its conveying direction, the output end of the second orthopedic component contacts the surface of the product along the same direction. The output end of the second orthopedic component is provided with a second rotating shaft, the axis of which is aligned with the conveying direction of the product, and a second orthopedic block that contacts the product surface is nested on the second rotating shaft.

[0010] In one of the above-mentioned orthopedic devices, the output end of the first orthopedic component is provided with a first orthopedic seat, wherein the two ends of the first rotating shaft are respectively connected to the two sides of the opening end of the first orthopedic seat, and the first orthopedic block nested on the first rotating shaft is clamped between the two sides of the opening end of the first orthopedic seat, and the two ends of the first orthopedic block along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft are respectively connected to the closed end of the first orthopedic seat through a first elastic element; the output end of the second orthopedic component is provided with a second orthopedic seat, wherein the two ends of the second rotating shaft are respectively connected to the two sides of the opening end of the second orthopedic seat, and the second orthopedic block nested on the second rotating shaft is clamped between the two sides of the opening end of the second orthopedic seat, and the two ends of the second orthopedic block along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating shaft are respectively connected to the closed end of the second orthopedic seat through a second elastic element.

[0011] In one of the above-mentioned orthopedic devices, the two ends of the first rotating shaft along its axial direction are nested and engaged with the first bearing embedded in the first orthopedic seat, and the degree of freedom of the first rotating shaft to move along its axial direction is limited by the first bearing end cover; the two ends of the second rotating shaft along its axial direction are nested and engaged with the second bearing embedded in the second orthopedic seat, and the degree of freedom of the second rotating shaft to move along its axial direction is limited by the second bearing end cover.

[0012] In one of the above-mentioned orthopedic devices, the first orthopedic component includes a first linear slide rail, and a first mounting seat is slidably connected to the first linear slide rail, wherein one end of the first mounting seat is connected to the first orthopedic seat, and the other end of the first mounting seat is connected to the first orthopedic cylinder; the second orthopedic component includes a second linear slide rail, and a second mounting seat is slidably connected to the second linear slide rail, wherein one end of the second mounting seat is connected to the second orthopedic seat, and the other end of the second mounting seat is connected to the second orthopedic cylinder.

[0013] In the aforementioned orthopedic device, a first driving component and a second driving component are provided within the orthopedic space. The first driving component and the second driving component respectively drive the first orthopedic component and the second orthopedic component to move along the length direction of the product. When there are multiple first driving components and multiple first orthopedic components, the multiple first orthopedic components operate independently or in conjunction with each other. When there are multiple second driving components and multiple second orthopedic components, the multiple second orthopedic components operate independently or in conjunction with each other.

[0014] In the aforementioned orthopedic device, the gripping mechanism includes a gripping bracket, one end of which is connected to the frame and the other end is arranged along the product conveying direction. A gripping component is connected to one end of the gripping bracket along the product conveying direction. The gripping component includes a gripping lifting cylinder and a plurality of gripping cylinders connected to the output end of the gripping lifting cylinder.

[0015] In the aforementioned orthopedic device, the output ends of some of the multiple gripping cylinders are claw-shaped, while the output ends of the other gripping cylinders are cylindrical.

[0016] In one of the above-mentioned orthopedic devices, the part retrieval mechanism includes a part retrieval bracket mounted on a frame, a part retrieval lifting cylinder connected to the part retrieval bracket, and a part retrieval hook connected to the output end of the part retrieval lifting cylinder; and a part retrieval assembly, which includes a part retrieval motor and a second pulley structure connected to the output end of the part retrieval motor.

[0017] In one of the above-mentioned orthopedic devices, a hook block for placing unqualified products is also provided on the product pick-up bracket. When the orthopedic product is a qualified product, the gripping mechanism places the product on the hook block and outputs it through the second pulley structure; when the orthopedic product is an unqualified product, the gripping mechanism places the product on the hook block.

[0018] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0019] (1) The present invention provides an orthopedic device that can perform precise orthopedic treatment on the deformed position of the product through the orthopedic mechanism, thereby improving the product qualification rate.

[0020] (2) By setting a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft, the first orthopedic block nested on the first rotating shaft and the second orthopedic block nested on the second rotating shaft can rotate along the contour of the product surface, so that the first orthopedic block and the second orthopedic block are always in positive contact with the product surface at the orthopedic position, avoiding indentations on the product surface, and improving the orthopedic effect by increasing the contact area between the two.

[0021] (3) Through the first elastic element between the first orthotic block and the first orthotic seat, and the second elastic element between the second orthotic block and the second orthotic seat, the first orthotic block and the second orthotic block are reset after the product is orthotic, which facilitates the orthosis of the next product.

[0022] (4) By setting the first bearing and the second bearing, the rotation of the first shaft and the second shaft is made smoother, which in turn makes the first orthopedic block and the second orthopedic block fit more tightly with the product surface, thereby improving the orthopedic effect. In addition, by using the first bearing end cap and the second bearing end cap, the degree of freedom of the first shaft and the second shaft to move along their corresponding axial directions is limited, thereby improving the reliability of the output end of the first orthopedic component and the output end of the second orthopedic component.

[0023] (5) Multiple sensors are installed on the storage hook block to detect the number of defective products stored in the storage hook block. When the gripping mechanism moves above the storage hook block, the product is released in time to avoid collision between the product on the gripping mechanism and the product originally on the storage hook block.

[0041] The following are specific embodiments of the present invention, which are described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings to further illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention. However, the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.

[0042] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0043] like Figures 1 to 11 As shown, the present invention provides an orthopedic device comprising:

[0044] A frame 100 is provided, and a straightening space 110 is provided on the frame 100. A product feeding end and a product discharging end are provided in the straightening space 110 along the product conveying direction. A tooling for positioning the product is provided at the product feeding end, and the tooling is used to detect the deformation position of the current product and the amount of deformation at the corresponding position. A picking mechanism 200 is provided at the product discharging end, and the straightened qualified product is output through the picking mechanism 200.

[0045] An orthotic mechanism is installed within an orthotic space 110, and the orthotic mechanism includes a first orthotic component 300 and a second orthotic component 400. The output direction of the first orthotic component 300 is consistent with the conveying direction of the product, thereby correcting the deformed position of the product along its conveying direction. The output direction of the second orthotic component 400 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the product, thereby correcting the deformed position of the product perpendicular to its conveying direction.

[0046] The gripping mechanism 500 is installed in the orthopedic space 110. The gripping mechanism 500 places the orthopedic products on the tooling onto the picking mechanism 200, and then the picking mechanism 200 outputs the qualified products.

[0047] It is worth mentioning that the tooling detects the actual deformation position and the actual deformation amount at the corresponding position of the current product, and synchronizes the position data and the corresponding value to the orthopedic mechanism. Combined with the experience database in the orthopedic mechanism, instructions are sent to the first orthopedic component 300 and the second orthopedic component 400. The specific instructions are to move the first orthopedic component 300 and the second orthopedic component 400 to the corresponding positions for orthopedic treatment, thereby obtaining a qualified product after orthopedic treatment.

[0048] The present invention provides an orthopedic device that can accurately correct the deformation position of a product through an orthopedic mechanism, thereby improving the product's pass rate.

[0049] Preferably, when the first orthotic component 300 is used to orthotically supply the product along its conveying direction, the output end of the first orthotic component 300 contacts the surface of the product along its conveying direction. The output end of the first orthotic component 300 is provided with a first rotating shaft 310, the axis of which is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the product, and a first orthotic block 320 that contacts the product surface is nested on the first rotating shaft 310. When the second orthotic component 400 is used to orthotically supply the product along a direction perpendicular to its conveying direction, the output end of the second orthotic component 400 contacts the surface of the product along the same direction. The output end of the second orthotic component 400 is provided with a second rotating shaft 410, the axis of which is aligned with the conveying direction of the product, and a second orthotic block 420 that contacts the product surface is nested on the second rotating shaft 410.

[0050] In this embodiment, by setting a first rotating shaft 310 and a second rotating shaft 410, the first orthopedic block 320 nested on the first rotating shaft 310 and the second orthopedic block 420 nested on the second rotating shaft 410 can rotate along the contour of the product surface, so that the first orthopedic block 320 and the second orthopedic block 420 are always in positive contact with the product surface at the orthopedic position, avoiding indentations on the product surface, and improving the orthopedic effect by increasing the contact area between the two.

[0051] Preferably, the output end of the first orthotic component 300 is provided with a first orthotic seat 330, and the first orthotic seat 330 is U-shaped. The two ends of the first rotating shaft 310 are respectively connected to the two sides of the open end of the first orthotic seat 330, and the first orthotic block 320, nested on the first rotating shaft 310, is clamped between the two sides of the open end of the first orthotic seat 330. The two ends of the first orthotic block 320 along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the first rotating shaft 310 are respectively connected to the closed end of the first orthotic seat 330 by a first elastic member 340. The output end of the second orthotic component 400 is provided with a second orthotic seat 430, which is U-shaped. The two ends of the second rotating shaft 410 are respectively connected to the two sides of the open end of the second orthotic seat 430, and the second orthotic block 420 nested on the second rotating shaft 410 is sandwiched between the two sides of the open end of the second orthotic seat 430. The two ends of the second orthotic block 420 along the direction perpendicular to the axis of the second rotating shaft 410 are respectively connected to the closed end of the second orthotic seat 430 through a second elastic member 440.

[0052] In this embodiment, the first elastic element 340 between the first orthotic block 320 and the first orthotic seat 330, and the second elastic element 440 between the second orthotic block 420 and the second orthotic seat 430, enable the first orthotic block 320 and the second orthotic block 420 to be reset after the product is orthotic, which facilitates the orthosis of the next product.

[0053] More preferably, the two ends of the first rotating shaft 310 along its axial direction are nested and engaged with the first bearing 350 embedded in the first orthopedic seat 330, and the degree of freedom of the first rotating shaft 310 to move along its axial direction is limited by the first bearing end cover 360; the two ends of the second rotating shaft 410 along its axial direction are nested and engaged with the second bearing 450 embedded in the second orthopedic seat 430, and the degree of freedom of the second rotating shaft 410 to move along its axial direction is limited by the second bearing end cover 460.

[0054] In this embodiment, by setting the first bearing 350 and the second bearing 450, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 310 and the second rotating shaft 410 is made smoother, thereby making the first orthopedic block 320 and the second orthopedic block 420 fit more tightly with the product surface, thus improving the orthopedic effect. In addition, by using the first bearing end cap 360 and the second bearing end cap 460, the degree of freedom of the first rotating shaft 310 and the second rotating shaft 410 to move along their corresponding axial directions is limited, thereby improving the reliability of the output end of the first orthopedic component 300 and the output end of the second orthopedic component 400.

[0055] Preferably, the first orthotic component 300 includes a first linear slide rail 370, and a first mounting base 380 is slidably connected to the first linear slide rail 370, wherein one end of the first mounting base 380 is connected to the first orthotic seat 330, and the other end of the first mounting base 380 is connected to the first orthotic cylinder 390; the second orthotic component 400 includes a second linear slide rail 470, and a second mounting base 480 is slidably connected to the second linear slide rail 470, wherein one end of the second mounting base 480 is connected to the second orthotic seat 430, and the other end of the second mounting base 480 is connected to the second orthotic cylinder 490.

[0056] It is worth mentioning that in this embodiment, the straight movement of the output end of the orthopedic component is achieved by using an orthopedic cylinder and a linear slide rail to ensure the straightness of the straight movement of the output end of the orthopedic component. However, it is not limited to the method of using an orthopedic cylinder and a linear slide rail to achieve the straight movement of the output end.

[0057] Preferably, a first driving component 120 is also provided in the orthopedic space 110, and the output end of the first driving component 120 is connected to the first orthopedic component 300. The first driving component 120 drives the first orthopedic component 300 to move along the length direction of the product, thereby realizing orthopedic treatment at different positions in the length direction of the product.

[0058] More preferably, in order to improve the working efficiency of orthodontics, multiple first orthodontic components 300 and multiple first driving components 120 used in conjunction with the first orthodontic components 300 can be set up, wherein the multiple first orthodontic components 300 operate independently through the corresponding first driving components 120, or the multiple first orthodontic components 300 operate in conjunction with the corresponding first driving components 120.

[0059] More preferably, the first drive assembly 120 includes a first drive motor 121, and the output end of the first drive motor 121 is connected to a first lead screw 122, wherein the first orthotic assembly 300 is screwed onto the first lead screw 122. To improve the straightness of the movement of the first orthotic assembly 300, a first sliding assembly 130 can be provided between the first orthotic assembly 300 and the frame 100, wherein the slider of the first sliding assembly 130 is connected to the first orthotic assembly 300, and the slide rail of the first sliding assembly 130 is connected to the frame 100.

[0060] Preferably, a second driving component 140 is also provided in the orthopedic space 110, and the output end of the second driving component 140 is connected to the second orthopedic component 400. The second driving component 140 drives the second orthopedic component 400 to move along the length direction of the product, thereby realizing orthopedic treatment at different positions in the length direction of the product.

[0061] More preferably, in order to improve the working efficiency of orthodontic treatment, multiple second orthodontic components 400 and multiple second driving components 140 used in conjunction with the second orthodontic components 400 can be set up, wherein the multiple second orthodontic components 400 operate independently through the corresponding second driving components 140, or the multiple second orthodontic components 400 operate in conjunction with the corresponding second driving components 140.

[0062] More preferably, the second drive assembly 140 includes a second drive motor 141, and the output end of the second drive motor 141 is connected to a second lead screw 142, wherein the second orthotic assembly 400 is screwed onto the second lead screw 142. To improve the straightness of the movement of the second orthotic assembly 400, a second sliding assembly 150 can be provided between the second orthotic assembly 400 and the frame 100, wherein the slider of the second sliding assembly 150 is connected to the second orthotic assembly 400, and the slide rail of the second sliding assembly 150 is connected to the frame 100.

[0063] Preferably, the frame 100 includes a base 160 and a frame 170, and the first drive assembly 120 and the first sliding assembly 130 are mounted on the base 160, and the second drive assembly 140 and the second sliding assembly 150 are mounted on the frame 170. The base 160 is provided with a first mounting platform 161 for mounting tooling and a second mounting platform 162 for mounting the part-picking mechanism 200, and there is a height difference between the first mounting platform 161 and the second mounting platform 162.

[0064] It is worth mentioning that the plane where the first installation platform 161 is located is lower than the plane where the second installation platform 162 is located, which facilitates the loading and unloading of products. In addition, reducing the overall height of the orthopedic equipment makes the layout within the orthopedic space 110 more compact.

[0065] Preferably, the frame 170 includes a first frame 171 and a second frame 172 arranged along the product conveying direction, and the second orthopedic component 400, the second drive component 140, and the second sliding component 150 are mounted on the first frame 171, while the picking mechanism 200 and the gripping mechanism 500 are mounted on the second frame 172. The gripping mechanism 500 includes a gripping bracket 510, which includes a U-shaped first gripping arm 511, the closed end of which is connected to the second frame 172. The first gripping arm 511 has two second gripping arms 512 connected to its open ends. The length of the second gripping arms 512 is set along the product conveying direction. A third drive assembly 520 and a gripping assembly 530 connected to the output end of the third drive assembly 520 are provided on the second gripping arms 512. The third drive assembly 520 drives the gripping assembly 530 to move along the product conveying direction, grip the product that has been shaped on the tooling, and place it on the picking mechanism 200. The product is then output through the picking mechanism 200.

[0066] More preferably, the gripping assembly 530 includes a crossbeam 531 spanning two second gripping arms 512 and connected to the output end of the third drive assembly 520, and a gripping lifting cylinder 532 is connected to the crossbeam 531. A gripping lifting plate 533 is connected to the output end of the gripping lifting cylinder 532, and multiple gripping cylinders 534 are respectively arranged on both sides of the gripping lifting plate 533.

[0067] It is worth mentioning that among the gripping cylinders 534 located on both sides of the gripping lifting plate 533, some of the gripping cylinders 534 have claw-shaped output ends, while the output ends of the other gripping cylinders 534 are cylindrical.

[0068] In this embodiment, the reason why the output ends of some gripping cylinders 534 are set as claw-shaped and the output ends of other gripping cylinders 534 are set as straight cylinder-shaped is that the claw-shaped output ends can better grip the product, while the straight cylinder-shaped output ends can prevent circumferential rotation when gripping the product, thereby improving the reliability of the gripping mechanism 500 when gripping the product.

[0069] Preferably, the third drive assembly 520 includes a third drive motor 521 mounted on one of the second gripping arms 512, and the output end of the third drive motor 521 is connected to a first pulley structure 522, wherein the crossbeam 531 is connected to the first pulley structure 522.

[0070] More preferably, in order to ensure the straightness of the crossbeam 531 during movement, a third sliding component 540 is installed on the second gripping arm 512, and the slider of the third sliding component 540 is connected to the crossbeam 531, and the slide rail of the third sliding component 540 is connected to the second gripping arm 512.

[0071] Preferably, the retrieval mechanism 200 includes a retrieval bracket 210 mounted on the second frame 172, and a retrieval lifting cylinder 220 connected to the retrieval bracket 210, and a retrieval hook block 230 connected to the output end of the retrieval lifting cylinder 220. The retrieval assembly 240 is mounted on the second mounting platform 162. The retrieval assembly 240 includes a retrieval motor 241 and a second pulley structure 242 connected to the output end of the retrieval motor 241.

[0072] It is worth mentioning that after the gripping mechanism 500 grips the product that has been shaped from the tooling, the part-picking hook 230 of the part-picking lifting cylinder 220 rises to receive the product conveyed by the gripping mechanism 500. Then, the part-picking lifting cylinder 220 drives the part-picking hook 230 to descend and place the product on the second pulley structure 242. Finally, the part-picking motor 241 drives the second pulley structure 242 to rotate, realizing the output of the product.

[0073] Preferably, the pick-up bracket 210 is also provided with a hook block 250 for placing unqualified products. When the corrected product is a qualified product, the gripping mechanism 500 places the product on the pick-up hook block 230 and outputs it by the second pulley structure 242; when the corrected product is an unqualified product, the gripping mechanism 500 places the product on the hook block 250 and outputs it by a robot arm or by manual gripping.

[0074] It is worth mentioning that multiple sensors 260 are installed on the hook block 250. The sensors 260 detect the number of defective products stored in the hook block 250 and can release the products in time when the gripping mechanism 500 moves above the hook block 250 to avoid collision between the products on the gripping mechanism 500 and the products that were originally on the hook block 250.
