[0043] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These drawings are simplified schematic diagrams, which only illustrate the basic structure of the present invention in a schematic manner, and therefore only show the components related to the present invention.
[0044] like Figure 1-Figure 11The specific embodiment of the connecting rod automatic disassembly and tile pressing production line of the present invention shown in the figure includes a connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2, a plurality of trays 1 for placing connecting rods 8 arranged on the connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2, an automatic color marking component 3 arranged above the connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2, a truss 11 arranged on the side of the connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2, a defective product unloading mechanism 4 arranged at the tail end of the connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2, a disassembly device 5 for disassembling the connecting rod 8 into a connecting rod body 81 and a connecting rod cover 82, a tile pressing device 6 for pressing tiles 15 into the inner circles of the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 respectively, and an automatic tile loading device 7 for loading the tiles 15.
[0045] The right manipulator 12, the middle manipulator 13 and the left manipulator 14 are installed on the truss 11 from right to left in sequence; the right manipulator 12 is used to grab the connecting rod 8 with qualified marks to the disassembly device 5, and grab the connecting rod 8 with unqualified marks to the unqualified product unloading mechanism 4. The middle manipulator 13 grabs the disassembled connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 to the tile pressing device 6. The left manipulator 14 grabs the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 with the pressed tile 15 and puts them on the unloading conveyor line body 16.
[0046] A QR code is printed on the side end surface of the connecting rod cover 82 of each connecting rod 8 to store the weight information of the connecting rod 8. A barcode scanner is provided on the side of the head end of the connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2 to read the QR code information on the connecting rod 8 and send it to the PLC controller for storage. The connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2 has multiple stoppers to limit the tray 1 to a specific station, wherein a stopper is provided at the barcode scanner position.
[0047] See also Figure 2 The color automatic marking assembly 3 includes four color marking machines 31 arranged in parallel, each color marking machine 31 has a corresponding stopper, and the color marking machine 31 is integrated with a color recognition sensor. The color automatic marking assembly 3 includes a marking bracket 32 arranged on both sides of the connecting rod feeding conveyor line 2, a first lifting cylinder 33 installed on the upper end of the marking bracket 32, and a marking mounting frame 34 fixedly installed on the telescopic end of the first lifting cylinder 33. The four color marking machines 31 are installed on the marking mounting frame 34 in parallel. Guide columns 35 are fixedly arranged on both ends of the marking mounting frame 34. The guide columns 35 pass through the guide holes on the marking bracket 32 to guide the up and down movement of the marking mounting frame 34.
[0048] The color marking machine 31 marks the connection between the connecting rod cover 82 and the connecting rod body 81 of the connecting rod 8, and the four connecting rods 8 are sprayed with four different colors respectively.
[0049] The working process of the color automatic marking component 3 is as follows: when the four pallets 1 all reach the corresponding four stoppers, the first lifting cylinder 33 drives the four color marking machines 31 to descend, and sends the four color marking machines 31 to the right sections of the four connecting rods 8 respectively, and marks them at the same time, marking the four colors of green, white, blue and yellow in sequence. After the marking is completed, the four color recognition sensors recognize and confirm the color marks on the end faces of the connecting rods 8 to determine whether they are marked? Is the color correct? Is the mark uniform? Then the first lifting cylinder 33 rises to the initial position. If any connecting rod 8 is marked unqualified, the color marking action is triggered again, the first lifting cylinder 33 descends again, and the connecting rod 8 that failed the color marking last time is re-marked, the color recognition sensor recognizes again, and the first lifting cylinder 33 returns to the initial position again. Each group of connecting rods 8 is only allowed to be color marked twice. If the color recognition fails twice in a row, the four connecting rods 8 of this group are judged as unqualified, and the PLC controller binds the unqualified label. If the color marking is qualified, the PLC controller binds the qualified label. After the label binding is completed and there is no accumulation of pallets 1 in the stopper in front of the grabbing station, the four stoppers of the color automatic marking component 3 are released in sequence, and the four pallets 1 flow into the grabbing station of the connecting rod 8.
[0050] See also Figure 3 , the four connecting rods 8 of the connecting rod 8 grabbing station are grabbed by the right manipulator 12, and the right manipulator 12 is installed on the truss 11 by sliding left and right. The right manipulator 12 has two clamps and can grab two connecting rods 8 at the same time. If the four connecting rods 8 in this group recorded by the PLC controller are unqualified products, the PLC controller sends a command to the right manipulator 12 to put the four connecting rods 8 in groups of two on the unqualified product unloading mechanism 4. If the four connecting rods 8 in this group recorded by the PLC controller are qualified products, two connecting rods 8 are released to the two stoppers of the connecting rod 8 grabbing station, and the right manipulator 12 grabs the two connecting rods 8 of the first group to the two disassembly stations on the left, and then grabs the two connecting rods 8 of the second group to the two disassembly stations on the right.
[0051] See also Figure 5 and Figure 6The disassembling device 5 includes four disassembling mechanisms in total, and the four disassembling mechanisms are installed on the disassembling frame 50.

After the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 are opened, there are some metal cuttings on the contact surface. If they are not cleaned in time, the tile 15 will be scratched and damaged when the tile 15 is pressed in. The vacuum suction pump sucks the metal cuttings through the suction cylinder 510 to remove the metal cuttings in time.

Then the second telescopic cylinder 54 is extended to make the end of the bolt loosening mechanism 53 clamp into the bolt of the connecting rod 8, and the bolt loosening mechanism 53 is started to loosen the bolt. Then the third telescopic cylinder 58 is contracted to drive the movable block 57 away from the fixed block 56, and at the same time, the vacuum suction pump is used to suck the metal cutting chips in the process of the connecting rod 8 being stretched in real time.
[0056] See also Figure 4 The middle manipulator 13 has four mechanical claws 133, which are used to simultaneously grasp the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 of the two stretched connecting rods 8.

After the grasping is completed, the mechanical claws 133 rise upward, and the rotating cylinder 131 rotates 180 degrees to arrange the two mechanical claws 133 left and right. Then the middle robot 13 puts the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 arranged left and right to the tile pressing station at the same time.
[0058] See also Figure 7 There are four tile pressing stations, which press the connecting rod bodies 81 and connecting rod covers 82 of two connecting rods 8 at the same time, and are equipped with four automatic tile feeding devices 7.

A third mounting frame 66 is disposed at the upper end of the first mounting frame 63, and a center block 67 is fixedly disposed at the front end of the third mounting frame 66. The front end of the third mounting frame 66 has a guide groove 660 extending in the left and right directions, and two side pressure blocks 68 are slidably connected in the guide groove 660. The two side pressure blocks 68 are symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides of the center block 67. The opposite sides of the center block 67 and the side pressure blocks 68 are both provided with spring mounting holes, and a second spring 69 is installed in the spring mounting holes. The side pressure blocks 68 are fitted between the two guide inclined blocks 65. An upper pressure block 610 is also disposed on the upper side surface of the center block 67. The left and right sides of the upper pressure block 610 exceed the center block 67 to press the upper end surface of the tile 15.
[0065] A first guide rod 611 is fixed to the second mounting frame 64, and the first guide rod 611 passes through the first mounting frame 63, and a first spring 612 is sleeved on the first guide rod 611 between the first mounting frame 63 and the second mounting frame 64. Of course, in other embodiments of the present invention, one end of the first guide rod 611 may be fixed to the first mounting frame 63, and the other end may pass through the second mounting frame 64, so as to achieve the same effect as that of the present embodiment.
[0066] A tile placement platform 614 is fixedly provided on the lower end surfaces of the two guide inclined blocks 65 , and a tile recognition sensor is provided below the center position of the tile placement platform 614 .
[0067] The inner ring of the tile 15 is used to install the crank. In order to ensure precision, the inner ring of the tile should be avoided as much as possible during the press-fitting process. Manual press-fitting often touches the inner ring of the tile. The press-fitting method designed in this application only touches the end face of the tile and does not contaminate the inner ring of the tile at all.
[0068] The specific working process of pressing the connecting rod body 81 or the connecting rod cover 82 of the tile is as follows:
[0069] First, the pressing cylinder 62 extends to drive the first mounting frame 63 and the second mounting frame 64 to move closer to the connecting rod body / connecting rod cover placement platform 60 until the front end of the tile placement platform abuts against the connecting rod body / connecting rod cover placement platform 60. At this time, the second mounting frame 64 cannot continue to move forward, and the pressing cylinder 62 continues to extend, the first spring 612 is compressed, and the center block 67, the side pressure block 68 and the upper pressure block 610 continue to move forward. Specifically, as the distance between the two guide bevel blocks 65 becomes closer, the side pressure block 68 gradually compresses the second spring 69 inward, and contacts the front end surface of the tile, pushing the tile forward to gradually approach the connecting rod body 81 / connecting rod cover 82, and at the same time, the tile is slightly rounded inward under the guiding action of the two guide bevel blocks 65; at the same time, the upper pressure block 610 presses the tile from above to ensure that it does not pop up when pressed into the connecting rod body 81 or the connecting rod cover 82.
[0070] It should be explained that the tile is a metal sheet with a certain elasticity, which can ensure that it is tightly pressed into the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82.
[0071] This technical solution of the present invention realizes the two-step press-fitting of the tile, has a compact structure, and is easy to control. It can ensure that the inner ring surface of the tile will not be contaminated during the press-fitting process, while ensuring the coaxiality and symmetry of the tile and the connecting rod, thereby improving the accuracy.
[0072] After the tile is pressed onto the connecting rod body 81 or the connecting rod cover 82, it is grabbed by the left manipulator 14 and placed on the unloading conveyor line 16.
[0073] The left manipulator 14 has the same structure as the middle manipulator 13 , and has several fixedly mounted mechanical claws 133 and one rotatably mounted mechanical claw 133 .
[0074] The structure of the left manipulator 14 is the same as that of the middle manipulator 13 .
[0075] Specifically: Grabbing materials: After the tile pressing is completed, the left manipulator 14 moves horizontally to the top of the tile pressing station. At this time, the two sets of rotatably installed mechanical claws and the fixedly installed mechanical claws are in an open state, and respectively grab the pressed connecting rod body 81 and connecting rod cover 82. The four mechanical claws act simultaneously to grab.
[0076] Unloading: The left manipulator 14 moves horizontally to the top of the unloading conveyor line 16, and the rotatably installed manipulator rotates 180 degrees to make the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 opposite to each other, and then puts the connecting rod body 81 and the connecting rod cover 82 in pairs on the unloading conveyor line 16.
[0077] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described above are only used to explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention. Obvious changes or modifications derived from the spirit of the present invention are still within the protection scope of the present invention.
