Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of automated assembly technology in the field of mechanical engineering, and more specifically, to a hydraulic cylinder automatic assembly production line control system. Background Art

[0002] As a commonly used actuator in industry, hydraulic cylinders contain various seals, cylinder rods and cylinder heads, pistons and guide sleeves. They are widely used in reciprocating seal cylinder guide sleeve devices and are the main assembly steps of hydraulic cylinders. Their assembly quality is directly related to the sealing performance and service life of the cylinder.

[0003] like Figure 1 As shown in the figure, traditional assembly is usually done manually, which is prone to improper installation or damage to the sealing ring, resulting in unstable product quality. This traditional method has several key problems, which are significantly limited in terms of quality control, output improvement, reduction of defective product rate and maintenance cost. First, from the perspective of quality control, the accuracy and consistency of manual assembly are difficult to guarantee. Differences in the skill level and experience of operators, as well as factors such as fatigue and distraction, may lead to fluctuations in assembly quality, thereby affecting the stability and reliability of the final product. Secondly, in terms of output, the efficiency of manual assembly is limited by the operating speed and work intensity of the workers. It is difficult to significantly improve production efficiency in a short period of time by relying on manual operation, and the increase in production pressure will further affect the assembly quality, forming a vicious circle.

[0004] In addition, the defective rate in the manual assembly process is relatively high. Due to the lack of precise control, small errors in the assembly process may cause large product defects, which not only affects the product shipment rate, but also increases the waste of raw materials and human resources. In addition, defective products produced by manual assembly often need to be further disassembled and reassembled, which not only increases additional material consumption, but also requires more manpower and time, thereby increasing production costs. The problems in the manual assembly process have prompted the industry to look for a more efficient, precise and reliable automated assembly device to solve the above problems.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a hydraulic cylinder automatic assembly production line control system to solve the above problems.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, a hydraulic cylinder automatic assembly production line control system includes a main control cabinet 1 for controlling the hydraulic cylinder automatic assembly production line control system and a logistics line 2 for transporting various parts of the hydraulic cylinder to the assembly position in sequence;

[0052] The main control cabinet 1 receives data from the production line, analyzes and processes the status of each mechanism, sends the processed instructions to the corresponding mechanism, and coordinates the work of each core assembly unit.

[0053] like Figure 4 As shown, both sides of the logistics line 2 are provided with a plurality of units according to the assembly sequence of the hydraulic cylinders, the units include an automatic assembly unit 4 for assembling the piston and guide sleeve of the hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve seal ring for installing various seals for the incoming material, an automatic assembly unit 5 for assembling the piston guide sleeve assembled in the previous process group with the cylinder rod in sequence, an automatic assembly unit 6 for assembling the hydraulic cylinder barrel and cylinder rod assembly of the hydraulic cylinder into a finished cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder running-in and detection equipment 7 for adjusting the internal contact state by reciprocating motion of the hydraulic cylinder, and identifying and detecting the cylinder running-in and working state through visual detection to confirm whether the cylinder is assembled properly.

[0054] Specifically, the main control cabinet 1 includes a PLC for controlling each unit. The main control cabinet 1 opens the OPC protocol to the factory's MAS system through the PLC to upload the real-time status information of the hydraulic cylinder automatic assembly production line control system and receive various instructions issued by the MAS to multiple units and logistics lines 2, and simultaneously receive the uploaded equipment status information of each unit and logistics line 2 in real time through the TCP / IP protocol.

[0055] like Figure 4 and 5 As shown, the logistics line 2 includes a code scanning module 21, a material loading and unloading module 22 and a material flow channel module 23. The material loading and unloading module 22 controls the robot to complete the loading action through the material arrival signal sent by the MAS system. The material flow channel module 23 transports the material in the material flow direction. The code scanning module 21 scans the material code for the material loaded by the material loading and unloading module 22, confirms the incoming material information, and analyzes and determines the material flow path according to the incoming material information to classify and circulate the material for the material flow channel module 23. The logistics line 2 monitors the state of the material in the loading and unloading process and the motion state of the actuator in real time, judges the production line state in real time according to the detection state, and adjusts and controls the equipment action state in real time. In the system, the logistics line 2 is responsible for circulating the product in the production line.

[0056] like Figure 6 and Figure 7As shown, the automatic assembly unit 4 of the hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve seal ring includes a first automatic assembly module 41, a first positioning module 42, a first visual inspection module 43, and a first material picking module 44. After the automatic assembly unit 4 of the hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve seal ring detects that the material has arrived at the feeding station, the automatic assembly unit 4 of the hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve seal ring scans the incoming material through the scanning module 21 to confirm the incoming material information, and the automatic assembly machine of the hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve seal ring adjusts the positioning position of the first positioning module 42 according to the incoming material information, and automatically identifies the incoming material. The information confirms the product to be made, and the assembly parameters and rhythm are automatically adjusted according to different product and process requirements to improve the flexibility and adaptability of the assembly line and realize adaptive control. After the changeover is completed, the material enters the first positioning module 42 and is fixed. The collaborative robot of the first automatic assembly module 41 performs the assembly operation of the hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve sealing ring, and the first visual inspection module 43 is used to accurately locate the moving position of the collaborative robot of the first automatic assembly module 41. The first material picking module 44 transfers the assembled hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve sealing ring to the next workstation.

The second material picking module 53 controls the robot to pick up materials and puts the materials into the installation station. The second positioning module 52 fixes the materials. The second automatic assembly module 51 installs the self-lubricating bearing and presses it into the cylinder rod assembly. After the self-lubricating bearing is assembled, the second material picking module 53 manipulator puts the cylinder rod assembly into the next station. The second positioning module 52 positions and clamps the cylinder rod assembly. The tightening device of the second automatic assembly module 51 combines the piston and the cylinder rod, and the assembly is completed by controlling the speed and torque through the tightening device.

[0059] The PLC monitors the state of materials during loading and unloading and the motion state of the actuator in real time, determines the state of the production line in real time based on the detection state, and adjusts and controls the motion state of the equipment in real time. The control system controls actuators such as servo motors and industrial robots, and performs closed-loop detection through sensors and actual cameras to ensure the stability of assembly, effectively improving the differences in tightening torque during cylinder rod assembly caused by different physical fitness and assembly experience of individual workers.

[0060] like Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the automatic assembly unit 6 of the hydraulic cylinder barrel and cylinder rod assembly includes a third automatic assembly module 61, a third positioning module 62, a third material picking module 63 and a second visual inspection module 64.

The third automatic assembly module 61 clamps the hydraulic cylinder rod and the cylinder rod assembly of the automatic assembly unit 5 of the piston and guide sleeve after assembly, and controls the third automatic assembly module 61 to adjust the clamping state and clamping position in real time according to the 3D vision algorithm. The third automatic assembly module 61 detects the position deviation according to the second visual inspection module 64, and intelligently adjusts the installation position of the manipulator in real time to automatically install the cylinder rod assembly into the cylinder barrel. After the installation is completed, the third material picking module 63 grabs the semi-finished cylinder product and places it on the next station. The third positioning module 62 of the next station positions the semi-finished cylinder product, and then the tightening mechanism of the third automatic assembly module 61 tightens the guide sleeve and the cylinder barrel, and the cylinder assembly is completed.

The automatic loading and unloading module 74 receives the assembled finished cylinder. The fourth positioning module 71 clamps and positions the finished cylinder. The automatic running-in module 72 inserts the hydraulic oil pipe plug into the cylinder interface through a manipulator with a camera. This action adjusts the position of the socket through the visual inspection module to ensure that the plug can be automatically connected to the cylinder. The automatic running-in module 72 controls the hydraulic cylinder to reciprocate multiple times so that the seal and the inner wall of the cylinder are fully run-in, and monitors and records the movement state of the cylinder during movement.

[0063] The data obtained from the test, such as the pressure of the cylinder A and B chambers, the minimum starting pressure, the holding time, the holding pressure drop, the number of operations, the oil temperature, etc., are recorded and uploaded to the MAS system. The PLC monitors the state of the material during the loading and unloading process and the motion state of the actuator in real time, determines the state of the production line in real time according to the detection state, and adjusts and controls the action state of the equipment in real time.

[0064] In order to clean the various parts of the hydraulic cylinder after they are received and ensure that there is no dust and waste liquid affecting the assembly quality, a hydraulic cylinder automatic assembly production line control system also includes a cleaning device 3. The cleaning device 3 is arranged on the logistics line 2 before the automatic assembly unit 4 of the hydraulic cylinder piston guide sleeve seal ring receives the materials. The cleaning device 3 is also arranged on the logistics line 2 after the automatic assembly unit 6 of the hydraulic cylinder barrel and cylinder rod assembly discharges the materials.

[0065] Example 2

[0066] like Figure 2-13 As shown, the visual detection system of the device of the present invention can achieve some of the same detection effects through the combination of multiple sensors.

[0067] For example, multiple sets of laser distance sensors are used to fix the position of the cylinder barrel on the positioning module of each unit, and the center deviation between the cylinder rod and the cylinder barrel is confirmed based on the feedback distance information. The same distance deviation of the visual inspection module is obtained by calculation, thereby controlling the robotic arm to accurately guide the cylinder rod into the cylinder barrel.

[0068] Example 3
