[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of cleaning lines, and in particular to a method, device, equipment and storage medium for transporting a material frame of a cleaning line. Background Art

[0002] During the production and assembly of parts, it is inevitable that some undesirable substances and impurities such as oil, metal chips, and impurity residues will be attached to the surface of the parts. If they are not cleaned in time and thoroughly, it will affect the quality and performance stability of the product and even cause some safety problems. In order to ensure the quality and stability of machined parts, a cleaning line is usually equipped to clean the stainless steel internal parts during the production process to achieve the purpose of removing undesirable substances and impurities.

[0003] In the prior art, parts are mostly cleaned in two cleaning modes: pure manual cleaning or semi-automatic cleaning. In manual cleaning, multiple working tanks are generally set up. After the parts are cleaned in each tank for a period of time, they are manually lifted and transferred to the next tank. This cycle is repeated, requiring manual work all the time. The labor intensity of the operator is high, the efficiency is low, and the parts are easily bumped, which is not conducive to the standardized operation of parts cleaning.

[0004] When a truss robot is set up for semi-automatic equipment cleaning, multiple working slots are generally set up on the market, and then the truss robot is used to grab and load materials and transfer materials between working slots. However, the next material frame can only enter the cleaning operation after the previous material frame has completed all the process operations.

[0005] Therefore, the above two cleaning modes cannot meet the current high-efficiency production needs, and the cleaning efficiency is low, which affects the production efficiency. In view of this, the applicant has proposed a cleaning wire material frame transportation method, device, equipment and storage medium. Summary of the invention

The change or adjustment of its relative relationship should also be regarded as the scope of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0053] like Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the present invention proposes a method, device, equipment and storage medium for transporting a cleaning wire material frame.

[0054] In an exemplary embodiment, a cleaning wire frame transport method includes:

[0055] Obtain status information and material information of each workstation, including material storage position and empty position;

[0056] Determine the current position and target position of each material frame according to the stock position and empty position;

[0057] Determine the transfer order of each material frame according to the material information, current station and target station;

[0058] Generate execution instructions according to the transfer sequence to control the material frame to execute according to the execution instructions.

[0059] In this embodiment, by adopting the cleaning line method, batch cleaning of parts can be carried out. During cleaning, there is no need to wait for the parts in each material frame to be cleaned before grabbing the next material frame. After the current material frame enters the next workstation, the material frame before the empty workstation will enter the empty workstation. Therefore, when there is sufficient incoming material, each workstation can work simultaneously, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency and meeting the factory's production needs and production rhythm requirements. At the same time, the cleaning method of the present invention can also be used to perform one-click unloading of the cleaning line, which is simple for operators to operate, reduces the manual load, and reduces the work intensity of operators.

[0060] In an exemplary embodiment, before obtaining the status information and material information of each workstation, wherein the material information includes the stock position and the empty position, the method further includes:

[0061] Obtain task information, match the corresponding task through the status information of each station sensor, and number the station to obtain number information. The station includes loading station, multiple cleaning stations and unloading stations;

[0062] Obtain the moving route of the material frame according to the numbering information and the preset arrangement order;

[0063] Determine material information based on number information and movement route.

[0064] In this embodiment, before the cleaning program is executed, all workstations are numbered. For example, the workstations in this embodiment include 1 loading position, numbered 0, 5 cleaning tanks, numbered 1-5, and 1 unloading position, numbered 6. When the cleaning program is executed, the direction of the material frame is arranged in the preset order of 0-6, so that the corresponding process is performed at each workstation.

[0065] Exemplarily, 0-1 executes the loading and transferring procedure, grabs the material frame on the loading position and puts it into the first cleaning tank for the corresponding cleaning procedure, 1-5 executes the cleaning and transferring procedure, so that the material frame passes through five cleaning tanks in turn for cleaning, 5-6 executes the unloading and transferring procedure, so that the material frame leaves the fifth cleaning tank and arrives at the buffer area of ​​the unloading station for caching.

[0066] It is worth mentioning that before the cleaning task starts, the current task category can be judged. The tasks are divided into one-key loading, one-key unloading and cleaning procedures. If there are material frames on each station at the beginning of the cleaning task, the unloading procedure can be carried out first, and all material frames will execute the cleaning procedure. After unloading is completed, loading and cleaning can be carried out. If there are no material frames on each station at the beginning of the cleaning task, loading and cleaning can be carried out directly.

[0067] Exemplarily, the method of obtaining the moving route of the material frame according to the numbering information and the preset arrangement order includes:

[0068] The default sorting order is from low to high;

[0069] According to the arrangement order, the material frame is loaded from the workstation with the current number information to the workstation with the largest number information;

[0070] The moving route is determined according to the loading of each material frame from the workstation with the current numbering information to the workstation with the largest numbering information.

[0071] Exemplarily, in this embodiment, according to the workstation corresponding to each numbering information, the final destination of the material frame is the unloading position. The difference is that the current position of each material frame is different, and the processes it goes through to reach the unloading position are different. For example, the cleaning position corresponding to number 1 needs to go through processes 2-5 to reach the unloading position, while the cleaning position corresponding to number 2 needs to go through processes 3-5 to reach the unloading position. When the system determines that there is no process that needs to be experienced at the current workstation, it can be determined that this workstation has no material frame, thereby obtaining material information of the stock position and the empty position.

[0072] Illustratively, in this embodiment, sensors may be provided to sense whether a material frame exists at each workstation, thereby obtaining a moving route.

[0073] It is worth noting that, in this embodiment, the number of cleaning tanks can be adaptively set according to the needs of the cleaning line, and the number can be greater than five or less than five, but the number of cleaning tanks must be greater than two.

[0074] In an exemplary embodiment, a method for determining a transfer order of each material frame according to material information, a current workstation, and a target workstation includes:

[0075] Determine the position of the loading frame at each workstation based on the material information;

[0076] Determine whether the material frame can be moved according to the position of the material frame on each station and the current station of the material frame, and obtain a judgment result;

[0077] The transfer order is determined based on the judgment results.

[0078] In this embodiment, after the positions of the material frames on the cleaning line are determined, whether the material frames can be moved is determined based on whether there are material frames at both the current station and the next station of each material frame, thereby finally obtaining the transfer order of each material frame.

[0079] Specifically, if the current station is a stocking station, the next station is the target station of the current station;

[0080] If the target station is a material storage station, the material frame on the current station will wait;

[0081] If the target station is an empty material station, the material frame on the current station enters the material frame of the target station.

[0082] If the current station is an empty material station, the current station is the target station of the previous station;

[0083] If the previous station is a material storage station, the material frame of the previous station will enter the current station.

[0084] It is worth noting that each workstation executes the above logic. After the material frame on the current workstation enters the target workstation, the current empty position is vacated, and the material frame of the previous workstation can enter the current workstation to perform the cleaning process. Therefore, the cleaning tank on the cleaning line can realize the synchronous cleaning of multiple material frames in batches.

[0085] It should also be noted that the above logic used in this application can realize batch loading and cleaning as well as batch unloading. Figure 2 The diagram shows the one-key loading logic. Figure 3 The diagram shows the one-button material unloading logic, where the white block is the empty material position, the blue block is the stock position, and the gray block is the target position.

[0086] In an exemplary embodiment, after determining the transfer order of each material frame according to the material information, the current workstation and the target workstation, the method further includes:

[0087] Determine whether the transfer mechanism continues to automatically grab the material frame at the loading position according to the buffering situation at the unloading position;

[0088] If it is possible to continue loading, then the loading is carried out according to the execution instruction;

[0089] If the buffer cannot be used, the equipment will stop and the transfer mechanism will automatically load the material after cleaning.

[0090] In this embodiment, after batch cleaning, since a material unloading area is set at the unloading position, multiple material frames can be cached. If the material frames in the unloading area are full, material unloading cannot continue. The entire equipment needs to stop and wait for the operator to clear the material frames in the unloading area before cleaning can be performed.

[0091] The present invention also provides a cleaning line carrier, comprising:

[0092] Acquisition module, used to obtain material information;

[0093] A storage module is used to store the number information and material information of each workstation;

[0094] The first processing module is used to obtain the transfer order of each material frame;

[0095] The second processing module is used to execute the execution instruction.

[0096] The present invention also provides a cleaning line device, comprising:

[0097] one or more processors and memory;

[0098] A computer program is stored in the memory, and when one or more processors execute the program, the device executes the above method.

[0099] The present invention also provides a readable storage medium for a cleaning wire material frame, characterized in that:

[0100] A computer program is stored thereon, and the computer program can be executed by one or more processors so that the processors execute the above method.

[0101] To sum up, the present invention adopts a cleaning line material frame transportation method, which can load, clean and unload material frames in batches, thereby improving cleaning efficiency, accelerating product output speed, meeting the production needs of the factory, and reducing the labor intensity of staff.

[0102] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention, and are not intended to limit the present invention. Anyone familiar with the art may modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by a person of ordinary skill in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed by the present invention shall still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
