DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Generally, the components of the embodiments of the present invention described and shown in the drawings here can be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0044] It should be noted that similar reference numerals and letters denote similar items in the following drawings, and therefore, once an item is defined in one drawing, further definition and explanation thereof is not required in subsequent drawings.

[0045] In the description of the present invention, it should be noted that if the terms "upper", "lower", "inside", "outside", etc. appear to indicate an orientation or position relationship, they are based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or are the orientation or position relationship in which the product of the invention is usually placed when used. They are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.

[0046] In addition, the terms “first”, “second”, etc., if used, are merely used to distinguish between the descriptions and should not be understood as indicating or implying relative importance.

[0047] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the features in the embodiments of the present invention may be combined with each other.

[0048] See also Figure 1 , is a schematic diagram of the structure of a flip device 1 provided in an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the flip device 1 comprises a flip host 11 and a flip tool 12 ( Figure 1 FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a state where the flip host 11 clamps the flip tool 12. The flip host 11 and the flip tool 12 are modularly designed, that is, the two can be separated or combined together.

[0049] Combined with reference Figure 2 As shown, the turning tool 12 includes a tool body 121 and a claw mechanism 122 arranged on the tool body 121, and the claw mechanism 122 is used to grab the part to be turned over, wherein the part to be turned over can be, for example, a nacelle of a wind turbine generator set.

[0050] In this embodiment, the flip host 11 and the flip tool 12 are designed in a modular manner, and can be quickly matched with appropriate flip tool 12 based on different models of parts to be flipped, so as to adapt to the production of different models.

[0051] The flip host 11 includes a base 111 and column brackets 112 arranged at opposite ends of the base 111. Clamping mechanisms 113 are arranged on the opposite sides of the column brackets 112. The clamping mechanisms 113 are used to clamp the flip tool 12 located between the column brackets 112 on both sides.

[0052] That is, after the turning tool 12 grabs the part to be turned, the two form a combined component, which is transported to the turning host 11 by the transport system and placed between the column brackets 112 on both sides of the turning host 11. In this way, the clamping mechanism 113 on the column bracket 112 can clamp the turning tool 12.

[0053] On this basis, the flip host 11 also includes a flip mechanism connected to the clamping mechanism 113, and the flip mechanism is used to drive the clamping mechanism 113 to rotate so as to drive the flip tool 12 holding the part to be flipped to flip. Flipping here means rotating the flip tool 12 180 degrees in the vertical direction. In this way, the bottom of the part to be flipped, which was originally located at the bottom, can be flipped to the top, so that the part to be assembled to the bottom of the part to be flipped can be assembled from the top to the part to be flipped.

[0054] The flipping device 1 provided in this embodiment includes a modular flipping main unit 11 and a flipping tool 12. The flipping tool 12 can grab the part to be flipped through a claw mechanism 122. The flipping main unit 11 clamps the flipping tool 12 through a clamping mechanism 113 arranged on the inner side of a column bracket 112, thereby clamping the part to be flipped, and then flips the flipping tool 12 clamping the part to be flipped through the flipping mechanism.

[0055] The flipping device 1 can be applied to flipping parts of different models, using the flipping tool 12 to grab the part to be flipped, and then using the clamping mechanism 113 to clamp the flipping tool 12 and then flip the flipping tool 12 through the flipping mechanism, thereby flipping the part to be flipped. The flipping reliability can be improved on the basis of reducing the flipping difficulty.

[0056] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the tooling body 121 includes a transverse connecting rod 1211 and vertical connecting rods 1212 respectively located at both ends of the transverse connecting rod 1211, the vertical connecting rod 1212 is vertically arranged with the transverse connecting rod 1211, and the claw mechanism 122 is arranged on the vertical connecting rods 1212 at both ends.

[0057] The claw mechanism 122 on the turning tool 12 includes a connecting rod and a first screw rod and a claw arranged at opposite ends of the connecting rod. The connecting rod rises or falls under the drive of the first screw rod to drive the claw to contract or release.

[0058] The connecting rod includes a telescopic screw 1221 and a connecting rod block 1222 connected to the telescopic screw 1221 , and the first screw rod is connected to the telescopic screw 1221 .

[0059] Taking the positional relationship where the component to be flipped is located below the flipping tool 12 as an example, the telescopic screw 1221 together with the connecting rod block 1222 can rise or fall under the drive of the first screw.

[0060] When it is necessary to grab the part to be flipped, the telescopic screw 1221 and the connecting block can be controlled to descend, so that the claw can be inserted into the driving hole of the part to be flipped, and at the same time, the claw is in a released state. In this way, the claw in the released state can be clamped into the driving hole, thereby achieving the grabbing of the part to be flipped.

[0061] When the part to be flipped needs to be released, the telescopic screw 1221 can be controlled to rise together with the connecting block, and at the same time, the claw is in a retracted state. The retracted claw is extracted from the driving hole as the connecting block rises, thereby achieving the release of the part to be flipped.

[0062] There are multiple driving holes on the component to be flipped, and accordingly, the number of the claw mechanisms 122 can be multiple, for example, four, six, etc. Figure 2 Schematically shown in the figure are four claw mechanisms 122 , which are respectively located on the peripheral sides of the tooling body 121 and respectively correspond to the positions of the driving holes on the part to be flipped.

[0063] In this embodiment, the retraction and extension action of the first screw rod drives the connecting rod to rise and fall, which is then converted into the contraction and release of the claw to achieve the fixation and separation of the claw and the driving hole on the part to be flipped, so as to quickly grasp and release the part to be flipped.

[0064] In this embodiment, the claw mechanism 122 also includes a rotating handle 1223 and a locking assembly. The rotating handle 1223 is connected to the first screw rod and is used to drive the first screw rod to operate when the rotating handle 1223 is rotated, thereby driving the connecting rod to rise or fall.

[0065] In this embodiment, the locking assembly is connected to the claw to lock and stabilize the state of the claw. The locking assembly can lock the state of the claw when the claw is in a released state, so that the claw can stably grasp the part to be flipped.

[0066] Combined with the setting of the rotating handle 1223, the rotating handle 1223 can be operated to quickly complete the grasping and releasing actions of the claw mechanism 122 and the part to be flipped, thereby improving the installation efficiency of the unit.

[0067] In addition, a clamping plate 123 is also provided on the tool body 121 of the flip tool 12, and the clamping plates 123 are located on opposite sides of the tool body 121. The clamping plates 123 can provide a clamping position for the clamping mechanism 113, that is, the clamping mechanism 113 can clamp the flip tool 12 by clamping the clamping plates 123.

[0068] After the turning tool 12 grabs the part to be turned, the combined part formed by the two is transported to the turning main machine 11. The turning tool 12 is clamped by the clamping mechanism 113 on the column bracket 112 of the turning main machine 11.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4In this embodiment, a transverse sliding mechanism 114 connected to the column bracket 112 is provided on the base 111 of the flip host 11, and the transverse sliding mechanism 114 includes a transverse sliding guide rail 1141, a transverse sliding block 1142 and a hydraulic cylinder 1143. The transverse sliding block 1142 is located on the transverse sliding guide rail 1141, and the hydraulic cylinder 1143 is connected to the transverse sliding block 1142. Driven by the hydraulic cylinder 1143, the transverse sliding block 1142 can move on the transverse sliding guide rail 1141.

[0070] The column bracket 112 is disposed on a transverse sliding block 1142 on the transverse sliding guide rail 1141 , and the hydraulic cylinder 1143 is used to drive the column bracket 112 on the transverse sliding block 1142 to move in the transverse direction.

[0071] The column brackets 112 on both sides of the base 111 are respectively arranged on the transverse sliding blocks 1142 of the transverse sliding guide rail 1141, and the hydraulic cylinder 1143 can drive the transverse sliding block 1142 to move on the transverse sliding guide rail 1141, thereby driving the column brackets 112 to move in the transverse direction.

[0072] In this way, the distance between the column brackets 112 on both sides can be adjusted based on demand, so as to adapt to the clamping of the flip tooling 12 with different lateral widths.

[0073] In addition, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 5 The flip host 11 also includes a vertical sliding mechanism 115 disposed on the column bracket 112, and the vertical sliding mechanism 115 includes a vertical sliding guide rail, a vertical sliding block and a second screw rod. The vertical sliding block is located on the vertical sliding guide rail, and the vertical sliding block can move on the vertical sliding guide rail under the drive of the second screw rod.

[0074] The clamping mechanism 113 is arranged on the vertical sliding block on the vertical sliding guide rail, and the second screw rod is used to drive the clamping mechanism 113 on the vertical sliding block to move vertically. The second screw rod drives the vertical sliding block to move up and down on the vertical sliding guide rail, thereby making the clamping mechanism 113 move vertically.

[0075] After adjusting the lateral spacing of the column brackets 112 on both sides to a suitable spacing, the clamping mechanism 113 in the flip host 11 is started, and the combination component consisting of the flip tool 12 and the component to be flipped is clamped by the clamping mechanism 113. Then, the vertical sliding block is driven to move upward in the vertical direction to lift the combination component upward, and after it is lifted to a height that meets the rotation radius of the combination component, the flip mechanism is started to flip the combination component.

[0076] In order to ensure the stability of the flipping, in this embodiment, the flip host 11 further includes a reducer 116 disposed on the base 111, and the reducer 116 is connected to the flipping mechanism. The reducer 116 can convert the high-speed and low-torque power generated by the flipping mechanism into low-speed and high-torque power, thereby achieving stable flipping of the combined component consisting of the flipping tool 12 and the component to be flipped.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 6 In this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 113 on the flip main machine 11 includes a clamping body 1131 and a clamping block 1132 and a clamping cylinder 1133 disposed on the clamping body 1131. The clamping block 1132 is used to adjust its posture under the action of the clamping cylinder 1133 to clamp the flip tool 12.

[0078] like Figure 6 As shown in , the shape of the clamping body 1131 can be a cross, including an axis in the lateral direction and an axis in the vertical direction. The clamping blocks 1132 are respectively located above and below the clamping body 1131. During clamping, the clamping block 1132 on the clamping body 1131 clamps the clamping plate 123 on the tooling body 121 in the flip tooling 12, and the clamping force provided by the clamping cylinder 1133 is used to clamp the flip tooling 12. During clamping, the posture of the clamping block 1132 can be adjusted to a state parallel to the clamping plate 123 on the flip tooling 12, so that precise clamping can be performed.

[0079] In order to ensure the stability of clamping, the clamping mechanism 113 also includes a mechanical locking part connected to the clamping block 1132. After the clamping block 1132 clamps the flipping tooling 12, the clamping block 1132 can be locked by the mechanical locking part to prevent the clamping block 1132 from changing its posture, thereby avoiding slippage and the like during the flipping process.

[0080] In addition, in this embodiment, the clamping mechanism 113 further includes a position sensor disposed on the clamping body 1131 , and the position sensor is used to detect the relative angle relationship between the turning tool 12 and the clamping mechanism 113 .

[0081] There may be multiple position sensors, which may be distributed on the horizontal axis and the vertical axis of the clamping body 1131. The position sensors may respectively detect the relative angular relationship between the flip tool 12 and the clamping mechanism 113 in the horizontal direction and the relative angular relationship in the vertical direction. In this way, when the relative angular relationship between the flip tool 12 and the clamping mechanism 113 meets the requirements, such as when the flip tool 12 is parallel to the clamping mechanism 113, the clamping mechanism 113 may be activated to clamp the flip tool 12, thereby ensuring accurate clamping of the flip tool 12.

[0082] On this basis, the clamping mechanism 113 further includes an adjusting cylinder 1134 disposed on the clamping body 1131 , and the adjusting cylinder 1134 is used to push the flipping tool 12 to adjust the relative angle relationship between the flipping tool 12 and the clamping mechanism 113 .

[0083] In combination with the position sensor on the clamping body 1131, when the position sensor detects that the relative angle relationship between the flip tool 12 and the clamping mechanism 113 does not meet the requirements, the adjustment cylinder 1134 can be started to push the flip tool 12, including pushing the flip tool 12 in the horizontal direction and pushing the flip tool 12 in the vertical direction. Thus, the relative angle relationship between the flip tool 12 and the clamping mechanism 113 after adjustment can meet the requirements.

[0084] In this embodiment, the design of the adjustment cylinder 1134 can ensure that there is a good relative position relationship between the turning tool 12 and the clamping mechanism 113, thereby ensuring effective clamping.

[0085] In summary, the flipping device 1 provided in this embodiment, in combination with the flipping main machine 11 and the flipping tool 12 , completes the flipping of the component to be flipped, and can be applied to a variety of machine models for universal implementation, thereby improving the utilization rate of the flipping main machine 11 .

[0086] The clamping mechanism 113 includes an adjustment cylinder 1134, which can adjust the relative angle relationship between the clamping mechanism 113 and the flip tool 12 to achieve centering of the two, reduce the position accuracy requirements for the parts to be flipped, and improve the installation efficiency of the parts to be flipped and the flip tool 12.

[0087] In addition, the flip tool 12 adopts a claw design and combines a locking component to achieve locking of the claw, thereby ensuring the reliability of the flip tool 12.

[0088] Based on the above, please refer to Figure 7 The embodiment of the present invention further provides a flip assembly method, which is applied to a flip assembly system, and the flip assembly system includes an automatic guiding platform and a flip device 1 under any one of the above embodiments. The flip assembly method includes the following steps:

[0089] S11, using the turning tool in the turning device to grab the part to be turned over to form an assembly.

[0090] S12, using the automatic guiding platform to transport the assembly to between the column brackets of the flip host 11, and using the clamping mechanism on the column bracket to clamp the assembly and flip the assembly.

[0091] During implementation, after the parts to be flipped are put on line, for example, after the cabin is put on line, an automatic guided platform, such as an automatic guided vehicle (AGV) platform, can be used to transfer the parts to be flipped to the flipping device 1. The AGV platform is an automatically navigated mobile robot system that can automatically travel along a planned guide path to complete transportation and handling tasks.

[0092] The turning tool 12 in the turning device 1 is used to grab the part to be turned over, and the two together form an assembly. The assembly is then transported to the turning host 11 by the AGV platform, and the assembly is turned over by the turning host 11. In this way, the bottom of the part to be turned over is turned over.

[0093] S13, using the automatic guided platform to transport the flipped assembly to the assembly station, and assemble the components to be assembled to the parts to be flipped in the assembly at the assembly station, and use the automatic guided platform to transport the assembled components to the flip host.

[0094] S14, using the flip host to flip the assembled components again.

[0095] In this embodiment, the flipped assembly is transported to the assembly station using the AGV platform, and then the components to be assembled are assembled. The components to be assembled may be, for example, a yaw system, and the yaw system is assembled above the flipped cabin.

[0096] After the assembly is completed, the assembled components are transported to the flip host 11 by the AGV platform, and the components are flipped over by the flip host 11. After that, other components can be installed, and finally the finally installed components are sent to the warehouse by the AGV platform.

[0097] The flip assembly method provided in this embodiment can achieve efficient utilization of the flip device 1, improve the assembly efficiency of the unit, and realize flexible and automated production of the cabin yaw system assembly through multi-station matching of the flip device 1 and the separated yaw system installation.

[0098] Compared with the existing traditional installation method that requires the nacelle to be placed on the gear ring, the assembly method in this embodiment can improve the installation efficiency of the yaw system of the wind turbine generator set, reduce the impact on the yaw gear ring during the installation process, and improve the quality stability of the gear ring and brake installation. In addition, it can replace the use of large cranes during the installation process, reduce the requirements for the hoisting capacity of the factory building during wind turbine assembly, and improve the utilization rate of the factory building.

[0099] The above description is only a specific implementation mode of the present invention, but the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by a technician familiar with the technical field within the technical scope disclosed by the present invention should be covered within the protection scope of the present invention.
