Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0032] Various embodiments of this application may exist in the form of a range. It should be understood that the description in the form of a range is merely for convenience and brevity and should not be construed as a rigid limitation on the scope of this application. Therefore, it should be considered that the range description has specifically disclosed all possible sub-ranges and single numerical values ​​within that range. For example, it should be considered that the range description from 1 to 6 has specifically disclosed sub-ranges, such as from 1 to 3, from 1 to 4, from 1 to 5, from 2 to 4, from 2 to 6, from 3 to 6, etc., and single numbers within the range, such as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6, regardless of the range. In addition, whenever a numerical range is indicated in this application, it means including any referenced number (fraction or integer) within the indicated range. Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials, reagents, instruments, and equipment used in this application can be purchased commercially or prepared by existing methods.

[0033] In this application, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper" and "lower" specifically refer to the drawing directions in the accompanying drawings. Furthermore, in this application, the terms "comprising," "including," etc., mean "including but not limited to." In this application, relational terms such as "first" and "second" are used merely to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any such actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. In this application, "and / or" describes the relationship between related objects, indicating that three relationships may exist. For example, A and / or B can represent: A alone, A and B simultaneously, or B alone. A and B can be singular or plural. In this application, "at least one" means one or more, and "more than one" means two or more. "At least one," "at least one of the following," or similar expressions refer to any combination of these items, including any combination of a single item or a plural item. For example, "at least one of a, b, or c", or "at least one of a, b, and c", can both mean: a, b, c, ab, i.e., a and b, ac, bc, or abc, where a, b, and c can be a single or multiple.

[0034] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this application embodiment provides a rib component assembly device, including:

[0035] Platform base 1, with multiple sets of circumferential adjustment mechanisms 2 and radial adjustment mechanisms 3 arranged on the outer side of the upper end of the platform base 1. The circumferential adjustment mechanisms 2 and radial adjustment mechanisms 3 are arranged alternately. A measuring robot 5 and a scrap material removal and beveling mechanism 7 are also provided on the outer side of the upper end of the platform base 1.

[0036] A flipping mechanism 6 is symmetrically arranged on the outside of the platform base 1. The flipping mechanism 6 is used to clamp the formed circular rib 8 and flip it.

[0037] An integrated lifting mechanism 4 is fixedly installed on the upper outer side of the platform base 1;

[0038] The rib 8 is provided in multiple segments, and the multiple segments of the rib 8 are clamped in multiple sets of the circumferential adjustment mechanism 2 and the radial adjustment mechanism 3. The overall lifting mechanism 4 is located at the lower end of the second to last segment of the rib 8 during the forming process.

[0039] like Figure 3 As shown: The circumferential adjustment mechanism 2 includes a bracket, a circumferential drive motor 21, circumferential rollers 22, and a first lead screw adjustment base 23. The lower end of the first lead screw adjustment base 23 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the platform base 1 through a support seat. The upper end of the transmission block of the first lead screw adjustment base 23 is fixedly connected to a bracket, and the upper and lower sides of the bracket are symmetrically connected to the circumferential drive motor 21. Circumferential rollers 22 are sleeved on the rotating shaft of the circumferential drive motor 21.

[0040] Specifically: the circumferential drive motor 21 drives the circumferential roller 22 to rotate, thereby driving the formed rib to rotate and adjust its position. The first lead screw adjusting base 23 is started by the motor and the screw thread transmission causes the transmission block to drive the bracket 21 to move inward or outward, thereby adjusting the position of the circumferential adjusting mechanism 2 to meet the assembly of ribs 8 of different sizes.

[0041] like Figure 3 As shown: the lower circumferential drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to the bracket, the lower end of the upper circumferential drive motor 21 is fixedly connected to a spring, the lower end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bracket, the upper end of the upper circumferential drive motor 21 is pressed with a pressure plate, the upper end of the pressure plate is connected to a screw through a bearing, the screw is threaded into the connecting plate on the upper side of the bracket, and the upper end of the screw is fixedly sleeved with a manual turntable.

[0042] Specifically: The positioning of the upper circumferential drive motor 21 is achieved by manually rotating the manual turntable to drive the screw to rotate, thereby pressing the upper circumferential drive motor 21 downward through the pressure plate, so that the circumferential roller 22 on the shaft of the upper circumferential drive motor 21 is pressed against the upper end face of the rib 8.

[0043] like Figure 4As shown: The radial adjustment mechanism 3 includes a first adjusting slide rail, a horizontal bearing device 11, a receiving plate 9, a clamping device 10, a circumferential positioning block 12, and a limiting frame structure 13. The lower end of the horizontal bearing device 11 is slidably mounted on the first adjusting slide rail, which is fixedly connected to the upper end of the platform base 1. Each set of horizontal bearing devices 11 has two. The receiving plate 9 is fixedly connected to the upper part of the opposite outer side of the horizontal bearing device 11. The limiting frame structure 13 is fixedly connected to the outer side of each receiving plate 9. The circumferential positioning block 12 is provided on the inner side of the horizontal bearing device 11. The clamping device 10 is connected to the upper part of the inner end of each horizontal bearing device 11. The joints of the two ribs 8 are respectively placed on the upper ends of the two horizontal bearing devices 11 and clamped and positioned by the clamping device 10.

[0044] Specifically: the horizontal bearing device 11 can move inward or outward along the first adjusting slide rail, thereby meeting the assembly of ribs of different sizes. After the horizontal bearing device 11 is moved to the appropriate position, its position is fixed by bolts. The receiving plate 9 can buffer the receiving rib 8 when receiving material, so as to prevent the rib 8 from damaging the upper end surface of the horizontal bearing device 11. The circumferential positioning block 12 can limit the position of the rib 8 on the horizontal bearing device 11.

[0045] like Figure 4 As shown: The limiting frame structure 13 consists of a connecting plate, a second adjusting slide rail, a sliding rod and a limiting rod. The second adjusting slide rail is symmetrically fixedly connected to the outer side of the connecting plate. The sliding rod is symmetrically slidably mounted on the second adjusting slide rail, and the upper end of each sliding rod is fixedly connected to a limiting rod. The limiting rod is located on the inner and outer sides of the rib 8.

[0046] Specifically: Rib 8 is placed between two limit rods. After manually adjusting the position of the sliding rod on the second adjusting slide rail, it is fixed by bolts, thereby adjusting the distance between the two limit rods.

[0047] like Figure 4 As shown: The clamping device 10 consists of a "U"-shaped chuck and a cylinder. The cylinder is fixedly connected to the inner side of the horizontal bearing device 11, and the upper end of the cylinder's transmission rod is fixedly connected to the "U"-shaped chuck.

[0048] Specifically: the cylinder can drive the "U" shaped chuck to move up or down. The downward movement of the "U" shaped chuck can squeeze and clamp the rib 8, while the upward movement can release the rib 8. The "U" shaped chuck can also be flipped.

[0049] like Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown: The overall lifting mechanism 4 includes a second lead screw adjusting base, a lifting cylinder and a lifting plate. The lower end of the second lead screw adjusting base is fixedly connected to the upper end of the platform base 1 through a support. The upper end of the transmission plate of the second lead screw adjusting base is fixedly connected to the lifting cylinder, and the upper end of the transmission rod of the lifting cylinder is fixedly connected to the lifting plate.

[0050] Specifically: The second lead screw adjustment base is driven by a motor, which causes the transmission plate of the second lead screw adjustment base to move, thereby driving the lifting cylinder and the lifting plate to move to the appropriate position. The lifting cylinder is then activated to drive the lifting plate to move upward, thus raising the second to last rib section 8 components upward as a whole.

[0051] like Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown: The measuring robot 5 has a line structured light measuring mechanism 51 at the end of its robotic arm, and the scrap material removal and beveling mechanism 7 is a scrap material cutting robot 71 and a beveling grinding robot 72, respectively.

[0052] Specifically: the measuring robot 5, the scrap cutting robot 71, and the beveling and grinding robot 72 all use existing robot equipment on the market, which is existing technology.

[0053] like Figure 5 As shown: The flipping mechanism 6 consists of a radial adjustment seat 63, a column 61 and a flipping gripper mechanism 64. The upper end of the radial adjustment seat 63 is connected to the lower end of the column 61 through a sliding rail. The column 61 is radially driven to connect to a first electric telescopic rod. A rectangular groove is opened in the middle of the column 61. The lifting device 62 is slidably connected inside the rectangular groove. The opposite end of the lifting device 62 is rotatably connected to the gripper through a rotating motor.

[0054] Specifically: the first electric telescopic rod on the radial adjustment seat 63 can drive the two columns 61 to move relative to each other or in opposite directions. When they are in relative displacement, and the gripper of the flipping gripper mechanism 64 is in a horizontal state, it can grip the shaped rib 8 between the two columns 61. When flipping is required, the rotating motor will drive the gripper to rotate, thereby causing the shaped rib 8 between the grippers to flip.

[0055] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown: The flipping gripper mechanism 64 includes a reduction motor 641, a screw, and a gripper. The middle part of the lifting device 62 is threadedly connected to the screw, and the upper and lower sides of the screw are connected to the upper and lower sides of the rectangular slide groove through bearings. The upper end of the screw is rotatably connected to the reduction motor 641. The reduction motor 641 is fixedly connected to the upper end of the column 61. The opposite ends of the gripper are symmetrically and fixedly connected to the limit clamp.

[0056] Specifically: the geared motor 641 can rotate in both directions, and the rotation of the geared motor 641 can drive the screw to rotate in both directions. The rotation of the screw can drive the lifting device 62 to move up and down, thereby causing the gripper to move down. The limiting clamp can limit and hold the formed annular rib 8.

[0057] When the equipment is in use, the radial adjustment mechanism 3 and the circumferential adjustment mechanism 2 move to the appropriate receiving position, the clamping gripper opens, the receiving plate 9 rises, and the turning mechanism 6 retracts to achieve system reset.

[0058] The first section of rib 8 is hoisted and loaded. The panel of rib 8 is placed vertically, and the web is placed horizontally on the receiving plate 9 to achieve receiving buffer. The web of rib 8 rests on the horizontal bearing device 11 of the radial adjustment mechanism 3 to achieve horizontal positioning. Then, the circumferential adjustment mechanism 2 adjusts the circumferential position of the rib component until the rib 8 presses against the circumferential positioning block to achieve circumferential positioning. The radial adjustment mechanism 3 adjusts the radial position to achieve radial positioning. After that, the measuring robot 5 performs measurement to achieve measurement fine adjustment. The clamping device 10 of the radial adjustment mechanism 3 moves downward to clamp the rib 8.

[0059] The other rib 8 components are adjusted according to the first rib 8 component. The circumferential positioning is based on the end face of the previous rib 8 component. Before adjustment, the measuring robot 5 needs to scan and measure to adjust the weld. The second to last rib 8 component is adjusted according to the first rib 8 component. After the second to last rib 8 component is positioned, the measuring robot 5 moves to the designated position and scans the suspended end of the rib 8 component to collect the end face scribing position as the reference for the remaining amount detection scribing of the last rib component, thus realizing the scribing reference positioning.

[0060] The overall lifting mechanism 4 lifts the second-to-last section of rib 8 components as a whole, and the last section of rib 8 components is hoisted and placed at the splicing position of the first section of rib 8 components. The adjustment method is the same as that for other rib 8 components.

[0061] The measuring robot 5 scans and scribing the suspended end face of the last rib 8 component. Using the scribing position of the second-to-last rib 8 component as a reference, the remaining material is scribing, and the remaining material cutting and beveling mechanism 7 cuts and beveles the remaining material. After the remaining material cutting and beveling are completed, the second-to-last rib 8 component is lowered and reassembled into a circle. Then, the measuring robot 5 performs technical parameter detection. Based on the detection parameters of the measuring robot 5, each rib 8 component is finely adjusted to ensure the web height and achieve the assembly and rounding of the rib components. Finally, the joint position of the rib 8 components is positioned and spot-welded.

[0062] Finally, the flipping mechanism 6 moves downward. When the limiting clamp of the gripper and the outer side of the circular rib 8 formed by electric welding on the upper end face are on the same plane, the gripper moves relative to the rib web, causing the gripper to move upward to the specified height. Then, the gripper flips 180 degrees in the air. During the first flip, the rib ring needs to be fitted with a cross-shaped rib 81 to prevent the rib 8 component from deforming and disintegrating in the air. After that, the flipped rib moves downward back to its original position, and the rib is clamped again by the clamping device 10. The joint position of the flipped rib 8 component is welded again. After the second welding is completed, the circular rib 8 flips in the air. The second time, the cross-shaped rib can be removed. After the second welding is completed, inspection and adjustment are performed to achieve the round assembly of the rib component.

[0063] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this application, enabling those skilled in the art to understand or implement this application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, this application is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features claimed in this application.
