Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of processing equipment, and relates to a human-machine collaborative processing equipment and method based on an automatic feed drill. Background Art

[0002] A large number of connection holes need to be processed during the assembly process of large aviation equipment such as aircraft. In order to ensure the service reliability of the equipment, high requirements are placed on the processing accuracy and quality of the connection holes. Manual hole making is widely used on traditional aircraft assembly lines, requiring workers to hold pneumatic drills to make holes, which is labor-intensive and difficult to ensure the consistency of hole making quality. In recent years, the use of automatic feed drills with drilling jigs on traditional assembly lines for high-quality and efficient semi-automatic hole making has gradually become the mainstream method internationally, but the manufacturing cycle of drilling jigs is long and the cost is high, and it has poor adaptability to the changing working conditions with changing demands, multiple configurations and small batches in the modern aircraft production environment. The use of industrial robots equipped with automatic feed drilling end effectors for automated hole making can effectively reduce labor intensity and improve processing flexibility, but such equipment is large in size, and the man-machine must be separated during work and requires a large independent space, making it difficult to adapt to traditional assembly lines.

[0003] In response to the above problems, many companies and universities have conducted relevant research. He Fengtao, Zhang Deyuan and others from Chengdu Aircraft Industry (Group) Co., Ltd. invented a track-changing device for aircraft skin drilling equipment, with patent number 202010012891.8. The track-changing device is set to improve the flexibility of the track and the drilling template, so that the hole-making equipment can automatically complete the track-changing action. A set of tooling can cover a hole-making area, but the track robot is still dedicated to a special machine and still cannot be widely adapted to complex on-site processing scenarios. Kong Hu Ning, Lei Meng and others from Xi'an Kangcheng Machinery Manufacturing Co., Ltd. invented an auxiliary drilling equipment for aircraft parts manufacturing, with patent number 202310425474.X. Through the lifting bracket and angle adjustment mechanism to assist workers in making holes, it can ensure the verticality of the hole and improve the hole-making accuracy, but the entire device is large in size, and each hole needs to be carried and adjusted. The labor intensity of workers is high, and the overall portability is low. Fu Rao, Chang Yuhao, Wang Fuji and others from Dalian University of Technology invented a human-machine collaborative hole-making equipment and method that is suitable for convenient processing equipment. The patent number is 202311495586.9. The automatic feed drill is assisted by a power-assisted robotic arm to manually move the drill, and the adsorption-type end is used to fix the workpiece, which reduces the labor intensity of workers and improves the flexibility of the equipment. However, the adsorption-type end has high requirements on the workpiece material and the adsorption surface state, and has poor adaptability to the changing working conditions at the assembly site.

[0004] In summary, in order to meet the actual needs of reducing the labor intensity of workers, ensuring the accuracy and quality of hole making, adapting to changing working conditions, and reducing production costs on traditional assembly production lines of aircraft and other aviation equipment, it is necessary to develop a human-machine collaborative processing equipment and method based on automatic feed drilling that has high processing flexibility, simple operation, and portability. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention proposes a human-machine collaborative processing equipment and method based on automatic feed drilling.
