Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of ornament processing technology, and in particular to an aircraft ornament processing system. Background Technology

[0002] Airplane figurines are a type of airplane toy, mainly composed of the fuselage (including wings), a support frame, and a base (usually a circular chassis). When normally displayed, the fuselage tilts upwards from the tail to the nose. The base often includes scented diffusers to enhance the figurine's aroma. To improve playability, some airplane figurines feature a propeller that can generate solar power to rotate. The propeller rotates because solar panels are installed on the wings. The electricity converted by the solar panels is transmitted to the drive unit inside the fuselage, driving the propeller at the front of the nose. Due to the energy transmission mechanism, defective products (those that cannot generate electricity properly or whose propellers do not rotate) may occur, therefore visual inspection is required during manufacturing.

[0003] Because airplane figurines are designed with multiple parts and require visual inspection, multiple processing equipment is needed to assemble each step during the manufacturing process. This process requires multiple transfers of parts. Currently, the method used is to manually transfer batches of parts multiple times to achieve sequential processing of multiple steps. However, multiple transfers consume a lot of time, resulting in slow assembly. Furthermore, visual inspection needs to be performed separately, which also takes a lot of time. As a result, the overall production efficiency of airplane figurines is low and needs to be improved.

[0004] Therefore, in view of the shortcomings of the above-mentioned solutions in actual production and implementation, modifications and improvements have been made. At the same time, in the spirit and concept of seeking excellence, and with the assistance of professional knowledge and experience, and after much ingenuity and experimentation, this invention was created to provide an aircraft ornament processing system to solve the problems of slow assembly speed and low overall production efficiency in the current aircraft ornament process.

Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0036] In the description of the embodiments, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "set," "connect," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium, or it can be a connection within two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention based on the specific circumstances.

[0037] See Figures 1-9 An aircraft component processing system includes a first processing station 1, a second processing station 5, a third processing station 7, and a conveyor line 4. The conveyor line 4 passes through the first processing station 1, the second processing station 5, and the third processing station 7 in sequence. The first processing station 1, the second processing station 5, and the third processing station 7 use the conveyor line 4 to transport and transfer objects.

[0038] See Figure 2 , Figure 3 The first processing station 1 is equipped with an aromatherapy chassis processing mechanism 3, a first assembly mechanism 2, a first robotic arm 10 and a first quick-change gripper head 9, and the first robotic arm 10 and the first quick-change gripper head 9 are matched; the first assembly mechanism 2 is used to assemble the machine body and the support frame, and the aromatherapy chassis processing mechanism 3 is used to process the aromatherapy onto the chassis;

[0039] See Figure 6 The second processing station 5 is equipped with a second assembly mechanism 6, a second robotic arm 23, a second quick-change gripper head 25, a third screw machine 26, and a screw supply bin 24.

[0040] See Figure 8 The third processing station 7 includes a visual inspection mechanism 8, a lighting mechanism 34, a placement mechanism 35, and a third robotic arm 36. The lighting mechanism 34 is used to light the placement mechanism 35, and the visual inspection mechanism is used to perform visual inspection on the placement mechanism 35.

[0041] The function of the first processing station 1 is to add aromatherapy to the base to form an aromatherapy base; and to assemble the machine body and the support frame to form a machine body-support frame connection.

[0042] The function of the second processing station 5 is to assemble the chassis and the support frame, that is, to connect the fuselage-support frame connector to the chassis to form a complete aircraft ornament.

[0043] The function of the third processing station 7 is to perform visual inspection on the finished aircraft ornaments, and to check the rotation of the propeller, i.e. the yield rate.

[0044] Conveyor line 4 is used to transfer objects from the three processing stations. The various robotic arms work together to transfer the objects, realize the picking and placing of workpieces to be assembled and the transfer of workpieces that have been processed in the current process.

[0045] In this process, each workstation performs its own mechanized assembly, and the workstations are connected by conveyor line 4 and robotic arms for mechanized transmission. Finally, mechanized visual inspection is carried out. Generally, the overall control is carried out in conjunction with a computer, so the degree of automation is high and the processing is more efficient.

[0046] The aromatherapy base processing mechanism 3 includes a first sliding mechanism 12 and a first screw machine 13. The first sliding mechanism 12 includes a first sliding plate 11, on which a base placement plate 15 is provided, and on which a base placement groove 14 is provided.

[0047] The process involves placing the chassis in the chassis placement slot 14, placing the aromatherapy oil in the chassis using the first robotic arm 10, placing the cover plate on top, and then using the first screw machine 13 to screw it together as one unit.

[0048] See Figure 4 , Figure 6 The first assembly mechanism 2 includes a second sliding mechanism 19 and a second screw machine 16. The second sliding mechanism 19 includes a second slide plate 17. An auxiliary clamping mechanism 18 is provided on the second slide plate 17. The auxiliary clamping mechanism 18 includes an auxiliary placement platform 22 and an auxiliary cylinder. Two matching auxiliary grippers 21 are provided on the auxiliary cylinder. Matching bracket slots 20 are provided on the inner side of the two auxiliary grippers 21.

[0049] The process here involves placing the organism on the auxiliary placement platform 22, clamping the bracket with the auxiliary gripper 21, and then connecting the two by screwing them together using the second screw machine 16.

[0052] See Figure 7The first body placement platform 28 is tilted. The bracket-body component is inverted, and the bracket itself is tilted and curved. The tilt of the first body placement platform 28 is just enough to make the bottom of the bracket face upward, which is convenient for screw connection.

[0053] During assembly, the flip-clamping cylinder 40 clamps the chassis and flips it over. The first body placement slot 27 holds the inverted bracket-body component, and the third screw machine 26 screws the base-bracket connection from top to bottom.

[0056] The second unit placement platform is tilted, and the unit support is positioned at a higher height than the second unit placement platform 39.

[0057] Visual inspection unit 8 can use an industrial camera.

[0058] During the inspection process, the finished product is placed on the placement mechanism 35, that is, the chassis is clipped onto the second body placement slot 38 and the body is placed on the tray. The lighting mechanism 34 is adjusted and lighting is applied. Then, an industrial camera is used in conjunction with the processor for visual inspection.

[0059] The conveyor line 4 includes a slide rail and a conveying unit that is slidably connected to the slide rail. The conveying unit is connected to the slide rail.

[0060] The beneficial effects of this invention are:

[0061] This invention proposes a complete assembly and testing processing line that can automatically connect the fuselage, bracket, and chassis of an aircraft ornament and perform visual inspection on its own. The material transfer during the processing is mechanized, saving a lot of manual operation and reducing the time required for material transfer and visual inspection. Therefore, the assembly speed is faster and the overall production efficiency is higher, solving the problems of slow assembly speed and low overall production efficiency in the current aircraft ornament process.
