Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automobile air spring assembly equipment, and in particular to a vacuum push ring device and method for assembling a rear air spring. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, as car users' standards for ride comfort continue to improve, air springs are increasingly used in vehicle suspension systems. In particular, bag-type air springs can automatically adjust the height of the vehicle body by flexibly adjusting its internal gas pressure, effectively alleviating the severe vibration of the vehicle during driving, and significantly improving the riding experience. The core component of this type of bag-type air spring is composed of a highly flexible rubber airbag, but due to the lack of rigidity of the material itself, the air spring airbag of the rear suspension needs to be built-in with a support ring to enhance its structural stability and installation support.

[0003] In the design evolution of the bag-type air spring, in order to ensure the precise positioning between the outer casing and the bag skin, a technical solution was introduced to embed a large-sized steel ring into a small-diameter bag skin as an inner support ring, and to buckle and fix it with the outer casing. However, this design faces a severe challenge: the outer diameter of the support ring is much larger than the inner diameter of the airbag in its natural state, making the assembly process of the support ring extremely difficult. In current industrial practice, the guide pressure head is usually used to directly press down to force the support ring into the airbag; but this method has significant disadvantages: first, the airbag bag skin lacks rigidity and is prone to unexpected vertical deformation during the process of pressure expansion; second, during the pushing process, the bag skin is extremely susceptible to wear, which not only affects the installation accuracy of the support ring, but also greatly reduces the qualified rate of the finished airbag, becoming a key factor restricting production efficiency and product quality.

[0022] A vacuum push ring method for rear air spring assembly, comprising the following steps:

[0023] Step S10: Device startup and initialization:

[0025] Place the rear air spring bladders to be assembled neatly on the designated rack, ensuring that there are sufficient quantities; check the specifications and quality of the support rings to ensure that they match the bladders, and place them in the storage box.

[0026] Step S20: Positioning and fixing the capsule skin:

[0027] The screw slide embedded in the driving track drives the vacuum adsorption assembly of the bladder skin to move forward to the operation area, and the prepared bladder skin is placed into the inner cavity of the forming adsorption cylinder through the feeding hole at the top of the vacuum cylinder, so that the lower end of the bladder skin is inserted between the inner wall of the forming adsorption cylinder and the outer wall of the expansion valve;

[0028] Start the second telescopic cylinder on the second sealing assembly, and drive the second driving cylinder to move the second lifting plate downward, so that the conical brake platform installed in the middle of the second lifting plate moves downward along the conical through hole, and the outer wall of the conical brake platform abuts against the inner wall of the expansion flap and drives the expansion flap to expand, so that the outer wall of the expansion flap squeezes the bladder skin, making it close to the inner wall of the molded adsorption cylinder, thereby completing the sealing of the lower end of the bladder skin.

[0029] Step S30: bulging the capsule skin:

[0030] The screw slide embedded in the driving track drives the vacuum suction assembly of the capsule to move to the bottom of the bulging rubber sleeve, so that the bulging rubber sleeve is accurately aligned with the feeding hole at the top of the vacuum cylinder;

[0031] Start the first servo electric cylinder, and drive the right-angle support arm to move downward along the first linear guide rail through the first servo electric cylinder, so that the right-angle support arm drives the bulging rubber sleeve to move downward synchronously, and insert it into the bladder skin from the feed hole;

[0032] Start the air pump and inflate the bulging rubber sleeve through the inflation port. As the gas is filled in, the bulging rubber sleeve gradually expands and pushes the bladder skin to expand outward and fit against the inner wall of the formed adsorption tube.

[0033] Step S40: vacuum adsorption positioning:

[0034] After the capsule skin is attached to the inner wall of the formed adsorption cylinder in step S30, the negative pressure system of the vacuum cylinder is started and connected to the negative pressure vacuum pump through the air connection pipe to ensure that the pressure in the negative pressure adsorption chamber reaches a preset value;

[0035] Turn on the switch of the air connection pipe, the negative pressure adsorption chamber is connected with the inner cavity of the formed adsorption tube through the air hole, forming a stable adsorption force, and firmly adsorbing the capsule skin to the inner wall of the formed adsorption tube;

[0036] Start the first telescopic cylinder on the first sealing assembly, and drive the first lifting plate to move downward by driving the first driving cylinder, so that the first lifting plate drives the sealing pressure ring to move downward and insert into the inner cavity of the bladder skin; the outer wall of the sealing pressure ring cooperates with the inner wall of the upper end of the formed adsorption cylinder to complete the sealing of the upper end of the bladder skin;

[0037] Turn off the air pump and discharge the gas in the bulging rubber sleeve to separate the bulging rubber sleeve from the bladder skin; start the first servo electric cylinder, and drive the right-angle support arm to move upward along the first linear guide rail through the first servo electric cylinder, so that the right-angle support arm drives the bulging rubber sleeve to rise synchronously and move out of the bladder skin.

[0038] Step S50: Loading and positioning the support ring:

[0039] Place the support ring on the support ring fixture and clamp it, start the drive motor of the ring feeding assembly, drive the worm screw elevator through the coupling, and make the bottom plate and the support ring fixture installed above drive the support ring to rise to the preset height;

[0040] Start the servo motor, and drive the rotating arm to rotate through the servo motor, so that the three-finger clamp at one end of the rotating arm rotates to above the support ring clamp;

[0041] Start the second servo electric cylinder, and drive the rotating arm to move downward along the second linear guide rail through the second servo electric cylinder, so that the rotating arm drives the three-finger clamp to move downward synchronously. When the clamping head end of the three-finger clamp descends and inserts into the support ring clamp, the three-finger clamp opens to clamp the support ring; start the second servo electric cylinder again, and drive the rotating arm to move upward along the second linear guide rail through the second servo electric cylinder, so that the rotating arm drives the three-finger clamp to move upward synchronously to complete the material removal of the support ring.

[0042] Step S60: Support ring installation:

[0043] The screw slide embedded in the driving track drives the vacuum cylinder with the bladder skin adsorbed on it to move out from under the bulging rubber sleeve and move it to the designated preset position;

[0044] Start the servo motor, and drive the rotating arm to rotate through the servo motor, so that the three-finger gripper holding the support ring at one end of the rotating arm rotates to the top of the vacuum cylinder; in this process, it is necessary to pay close attention to the feedback signal of the sensor to ensure that the positioning of the support ring and the feed hole is accurate;

[0045] Start the second servo electric cylinder, and drive the rotating arm to move downward along the second linear guide rail through the second servo electric cylinder, so that the rotating arm drives the three-finger clamp holding the support ring to insert downward into the bladder skin through the feed hole, and accurately move the support ring to a preset specified height, so that the outer wall of the support ring abuts against the inner wall of the bladder skin; at the same time, the three-finger clamp continues to stay in the bladder skin.

[0046] Step S70, taking the finished capsule skin material:

[0047] The first telescopic cylinder on the first sealing component is started, and the first lifting plate is driven to move upward by the first driving cylinder, so that the first lifting plate drives the sealing pressure ring to move upward and separate from the inner cavity of the bladder skin; at the same time, the second telescopic cylinder on the second sealing component is started, and the second lifting plate is driven to move upward by the second driving cylinder, so that the conical brake platform installed in the middle of the second lifting plate moves upward along the conical through hole to release the squeezing of the expansion petal, so that the expansion petal is reset and separated from the compression seal on the lower end of the bladder skin;

[0048] Close the negative pressure source of the vacuum adsorption system, slowly release the adsorption force in the negative pressure adsorption chamber, slowly complete the release and clamping of the bladder skin on the support ring through the controllable decrease of negative pressure, and finally release and restore the bladder skin shape. The elastic restoration process of the bladder skin will not change the position of the support ring inside it;

[0049] Drive the three-finger gripper to open and clamp the support ring with the bladder skin installed, start the second servo electric cylinder, and drive the rotating arm to move upward along the second linear guide rail through the second servo electric cylinder, so that the rotating arm drives the three-finger gripper to move out of the molding adsorption cylinder from the inside of the bladder skin finished product, and put it into the finished product area for the next step of processing or packaging to complete the assembly.

[0093] A vacuum push ring method for rear air spring assembly, comprising the following steps:

[0094] Step S10: Device startup and initialization:

[0095] Turn on the power switch of the electrical cabinet 4, ensure that all circuits are connected normally, start the industrial control integrated machine 5, enter the equipment control interface, open the equipment control software on the industrial control integrated machine 5, log in to the equipment control interface, and check whether the various parameters are set correctly in the equipment control interface, including but not limited to motor speed, cylinder pressure, sensor sensitivity, etc., and make necessary adjustments to the parameters according to the process requirements; check whether all sensors (such as position sensors, pressure sensors, etc.) are in standby mode; check whether the cylinder is in the initial position, observe whether the cylinder movement is smooth, without jamming or air leakage, check whether the motor is in standby mode, and observe whether the motor rotation is flexible and without abnormal noise;

[0096] Place the rear air spring bladders to be assembled neatly on the designated rack to ensure sufficient quantity; check the specifications and quality of the support rings to ensure that they match the bladders, and place them in the storage box for easy access later.

[0097] Step S20: Positioning and fixing the capsule skin:

[0098] Step S201, start the track-embedded screw slide 7 through the control system. The track-embedded screw slide 7 is a precision linear motion device, which uses the rotational motion of the screw to convert into the linear motion of the slide; the screw slide starts to work after receiving the start signal, driving the capsule vacuum adsorption component 9 on it to move forward along the preset track; when the capsule vacuum adsorption component 9 moves to the predetermined operation area, the track-embedded screw slide 7 stops working, keeping the capsule vacuum adsorption component 9 stable and motionless at this position;

[0099] Step S202: In the operation area, the operator picks up the prepared capsule skin and ensures that its surface is clean and undamaged; aligns the capsule skin with the feed hole 1505 at the top of the vacuum cylinder 901, and then gently puts it into the inner cavity of the forming adsorption cylinder 902. This process requires ensuring that the position of the capsule skin is correct for subsequent operations;

[0100] As the bladder skin is put in, its lower end will automatically be inserted into the gap between the inner wall of the formed adsorption cylinder 902 and the outer wall of the expansion flap 1701. The expansion flap 1701 is an expandable component used to squeeze the bladder skin in the subsequent steps to make it close to the inner wall of the formed adsorption cylinder 902.

[0101] Step S203, next, the second telescopic cylinder 1603 on the second sealing assembly 16 is started through the control system, wherein the second telescopic cylinder 1603 starts to work after receiving the start signal, and pushes the second lifting plate 1604 to move downward;

[0102] The second lifting plate 1604 is a component with a conical brake platform 1605 installed in the middle, which is used for subsequently squeezing the expansion petal 1701; as the second lifting plate 1604 moves downward, the conical brake platform 1605 also moves downward along the conical through hole 1704, and when the outer wall of the conical brake platform 1605 contacts the inner wall of the expansion petal 1701, it starts to squeeze the expansion petal 1701 to expand it outward;

[0103] After being squeezed by the conical brake platform 1605, the outer wall of the expansion flap 1701 squeezes the bladder skin, making it close to the inner wall of the molding adsorption cylinder 902. This process will continue for a period of time until the lower end of the bladder skin is completely sealed in the molding adsorption cylinder 902.

[0104] When the bladder skin is tightly squeezed between the inner wall of the molded adsorption cylinder 902 and the outer wall of the expansion flap 1701, the work of the second sealing component 16 is completed; at this time, the lower end of the bladder skin has been successfully sealed in the molded adsorption cylinder 902, ready for subsequent operations.

[0105] Step S30: bulging the capsule skin:

[0106] Step S301, first, the track-embedded screw slide 7 is activated by the control system. Under the drive of the track-embedded screw slide 7, the capsule skin vacuum adsorption component 9 moves along the preset track to the bottom of the bulging rubber sleeve 1206. During this process, the expansion flap 1701 maintains stable squeezing of the capsule skin to ensure that the capsule skin will not fall off or be misplaced during the movement;

[0107] When the bladder skin vacuum adsorption assembly 9 moves to the bottom of the bulging rubber sleeve 1206, the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 is precisely aligned with the feed hole 1505 at the top of the vacuum cylinder 901 through fine-tuning or preset precise position control. This is a key step in subsequent operations to ensure that the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 can be smoothly inserted into the bladder skin;

[0108] Step S302: Next, the first servo electric cylinder 1207 is started through the control system. The servo electric cylinder is a high-precision linear motion drive device with the ability to accurately control position, speed and acceleration;

[0109] After the first servo electric cylinder 1207 works, the telescopic movement of its piston rod drives the right-angle support arm 1205 to move downward along the first linear guide rail 1202. The right-angle support arm 1205 is a stable support structure for fixing and supporting the bulging rubber sleeve 1206.

[0110] As the right-angle support arm 1205 moves downward, the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 is also synchronously driven to move downward. During this process, the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 maintains a close connection with the right-angle support arm 1205 to ensure that it can be smoothly and accurately inserted into the capsule skin;

[0111] When the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 descends to a certain position, its lower end will pass through the feed hole 1505 at the top of the vacuum cylinder 901 and be smoothly inserted into the bladder skin. This step requires ensuring that the position and angle of the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 are correct to avoid damage to the bladder skin.

[0112] S303, after the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 is successfully inserted into the bladder skin, the air pump 23 is started through the control system. The air pump 23 is a device that can provide a stable airflow pressure and is used to inflate the bulging rubber sleeve 1206. After the air pump 23 is started, the gas generated by it is filled into the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 through the inflation port 22. As the gas is continuously filled, the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 gradually expands.

[0113] As the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 expands, it begins to gradually push the bladder skin outward; during this process, the outer wall of the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 is in close contact with the inner wall of the molded adsorption cylinder 902, and the bladder skin is evenly squeezed between the two; under the continuous push of the bulging rubber sleeve 1206, the bladder skin is finally completely attached to the inner wall of the molded adsorption cylinder 902. This process requires ensuring that the expansion degree and pressure of the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 are moderate to avoid excessive squeezing or damage to the bladder skin.

[0114] Step S40: vacuum adsorption positioning:

[0115] Step S401, after the bladder skin is completely attached to the inner wall of the formed adsorption cylinder 902, the negative pressure system of the vacuum cylinder 901 is immediately started; the negative pressure system is connected to the negative pressure vacuum pump 21 through the air connection pipe 20 to ensure that the pressure in the negative pressure adsorption chamber 903 is quickly reduced to a preset value, which is usually determined according to the material, thickness and molding requirements of the bladder skin;

[0116] Open the switch of the air connection pipe 20, so that the negative pressure adsorption chamber 903 is connected with the inner cavity of the molding adsorption cylinder 902 through the air hole 904. In this way, the low air pressure in the negative pressure adsorption chamber 903 will generate a stable adsorption force to firmly adsorb the capsule skin on the inner wall of the molding adsorption cylinder 902. This step is the key to ensure that the capsule skin will not fall off or move during the subsequent processing;

[0117] Step S402: Next, start the first telescopic cylinder 1503 on the first sealing assembly 15. The first telescopic cylinder 1503 is a precise driving device that can accurately control the up and down movement of the sealing pressure ring 1506.

[0118] By driving the first telescopic cylinder 1503, the first lifting plate 1504 is driven to move downward, wherein the first lifting plate 1504 is a stable supporting structure for fixing and supporting the sealing pressure ring 1506; as the first lifting plate 1504 descends, the sealing pressure ring 1506 is also synchronously driven to move downward and inserted into the inner cavity of the bladder skin; the outer wall of the sealing pressure ring 1506 is tightly matched with the inner wall of the upper end of the formed adsorption cylinder 902, thereby completing the sealing of the upper end of the bladder skin; this step is to ensure that the negative pressure system can work continuously and stably, and keep the bladder skin in a fixed position on the inner wall of the formed adsorption cylinder 902;

[0119] After sealing the upper end of the bladder skin, turn off the air pump 23 and start the corresponding exhaust device (such as an exhaust valve) to exhaust the gas in the bulging rubber sleeve 1206. As the gas is exhausted, the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 gradually shrinks and separates from the bladder skin. This step is the key to recovering the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 and preparing for the next operation.

[0120] S403, after the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 is completely separated from the bladder skin, the first servo electric cylinder is started, and the first servo electric cylinder drives the right-angle support arm 1205 to move upward along the first linear guide rail 1202 through the telescopic movement of its piston rod; as the right-angle support arm 1205 rises, the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 is also synchronously driven to move upward and gradually move out of the bladder skin. This step is the key to recovering the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 and preparing it for cleaning, inspection or next use;

[0121] When the bulging rubber sleeve 1206 is completely removed, the related driving device and control system are turned off; at this time, the bladder skin has been firmly adsorbed on the inner wall of the forming adsorption cylinder 902 and is ready for subsequent processing or treatment.

[0122] Step S50: Loading and positioning the support ring:

[0123] Step S501, first, carefully place the support ring to be processed on the support ring fixture 1407, which is specially designed to fix the support ring to ensure its stability and accuracy in subsequent operations; then, start the clamping mechanism of the support ring fixture 1407, which is usually driven by air pressure or electric power, and can quickly and firmly fix the support ring on the fixture to prevent it from moving or falling off in subsequent operations;

[0124] Step S502, then, start the driving motor 1403 of the ring delivery assembly 14, wherein the driving motor 1403 is connected to the worm gear screw lift 1402 through a coupling, and can accurately control the operation of the worm gear screw lift 1402; driven by the driving motor 1403, the worm gear screw lift 1402 starts to work, and it utilizes the interaction between the worm gear and the screw to convert the rotational motion into the linear motion, thereby driving the bottom plate 1406 and the support ring fixture 1407 installed above to rise;

[0125] As the lift continues to work, the bottom plate 1406 and the support ring fixture 1407 gradually rise to a preset height, which is determined according to the needs of subsequent operations and the layout of the equipment to ensure that the support ring can be accurately taken away by the subsequent mechanism;

[0126] Step S503: Next, start the servo motor 1306, wherein the servo motor 1306 is a high-precision driving device that can accurately control the rotation angle and speed of the rotating arm 1307; driven by the servo motor 1306, the rotating arm 1307 starts to rotate, and rotates the three-finger clamp 1308 at one end thereof to the top of the support ring clamp 1407;

[0127] Then, the second servo electric cylinder 1309 is started, wherein the second servo electric cylinder 1309 drives the rotating arm 1307 to move downward along the second linear guide rail 1302 through the telescopic movement of its piston rod. As the rotating arm 1307 descends, the three-finger clamp 1308 gradually approaches the support ring clamp 1407.

[0128] When the clamping end of the three-finger clamp 1308 descends and is inserted into the support ring fixture 1407, the clamp opens and clamps the support ring. The clamp is usually pneumatically or electrically driven and can be flexibly opened and closed to accommodate support rings of different sizes and shapes.

[0129] Finally, the second servo electric cylinder 1309 is started again to drive the rotating arm 1307 to move upward along the second linear guide rail 1302. As the rotating arm 1307 rises, the three-finger clamp 1308 also moves upward synchronously and removes the clamped support ring from the support ring clamp 1407. At this time, the support ring has been successfully removed and is ready to be transferred to the next processing station for subsequent operations.

[0130] Step S60: Support ring installation:

[0131] Step S601, first, start the track embedded screw slide 7, and under the drive of the track embedded screw slide 7, the vacuum cylinder 901 with the capsule skin adsorbed is smoothly moved out from the bottom of the bulging rubber sleeve 1206; then, the vacuum cylinder 901 is moved to a specified preset position, which is determined according to the needs of subsequent operations and the layout of the equipment to ensure that the support ring can be accurately installed in the capsule skin;

[0132] Step S602, then, start the servo motor 1306, and driven by the servo motor 1306, the rotating arm 1307 starts to rotate; as the rotating arm 1307 rotates, the three-finger clamp 1308 holding the support ring at one end thereof gradually rotates to the top of the vacuum cylinder 901; in this process, it is necessary to pay close attention to the feedback signal of the sensor, which can monitor the position and state of the rotating arm 1307 and the three-finger clamp 1308 in real time to ensure that the positioning of the support ring and the feed hole 1505 is accurate;

[0133] Step S603, next, start the second servo electric cylinder 1309, and the second servo electric cylinder 1309 drives the rotating arm 1307 to move downward along the second linear guide rail 1302 through the telescopic movement of its piston rod; as the rotating arm 1307 descends, the three-finger clamping jaw 1308 holding the support ring gradually approaches the feed hole 1505 on the vacuum cylinder 901; when the clamping head end of the clamping jaw descends and inserts into the feed hole 1505, it continues to move downward to accurately deliver the support ring into the capsule skin;

[0134] After the support ring enters the capsule skin, the second servo electric cylinder 1309 continues to work, driving the rotating arm 1307 and the clamping claw to fine-tune upward or downward along the second linear guide rail 1302 to ensure that the support ring is moved to a preset specified height. In this process, the outer wall of the support ring is tightly abutted against the inner wall of the capsule skin to form a stable support structure;

[0135] Finally, when the support ring is accurately installed in the capsule skin, the three-finger clamp 1308 continues to stay in the capsule skin for a period of time (depending on the specific process requirements) to ensure the fit and stability between the support ring and the capsule skin; then, the three-finger clamp 1308 is driven to release the support ring and prepare for the next operation.

[0136] Step S70, taking the finished capsule skin material:

[0137] Step S701, start the first telescopic cylinder 1503 on the first sealing assembly 15, the first telescopic cylinder 1503 drives the first lifting plate 1504 to move upward by driving the piston rod of the first driving cylinder; the first lifting plate 1504 further drives the sealing pressure ring 1506 to move upward, so that it is separated from the inner cavity of the bladder skin. This step ensures the release of the inner cavity of the bladder skin and provides space for subsequent operations;

[0138] At the same time, the second telescopic cylinder 1603 on the second sealing component 16 is started, and the second telescopic cylinder 1603 drives the second lifting plate 1604 to move upward by driving the piston rod of the second driving cylinder; the conical brake platform 1605 installed in the middle of the second lifting plate 1604 moves upward accordingly, and moves upward along the conical through hole 1704, releasing the squeezing of the expansion petal 1701; the expansion petal 1701 resets after losing the squeezing, and breaks away from the tight sealing state of the lower end of the bladder skin, and this step provides conditions for the release of the bladder skin and subsequent operations;

[0139] Step S702, turn off the negative pressure source of the vacuum adsorption system, stop the air extraction operation in the negative pressure adsorption chamber 903, slowly release the adsorption force in the negative pressure adsorption chamber 903, and avoid sudden impact or deformation of the capsule skin through the controllable decrease of negative pressure;

[0140] As the negative pressure gradually decreases, the bladder skin gradually releases and clamps the support ring due to the loss of adsorption force. This step ensures the stability of the support ring inside the bladder skin, providing a guarantee for subsequent operations. Finally, the negative pressure adsorption system is released, and the bladder skin gradually restores its original shape under the action of its own elasticity. In this process, the elastic restoration of the bladder skin will not change the position of the support ring inside it.

[0141] Step S703, drive the three-finger clamp 1308 to open and clamp the support ring with the capsule skin installed. This step requires ensuring that the clamping force of the clamp is moderate to avoid damage to the capsule skin or the support ring;

[0142] The second servo electric cylinder 1309 is started, and the rotating arm 1307 is driven to move upward along the second linear guide rail 1302 through the telescopic movement of its piston rod; the rotating arm 1307 drives the three-finger clamp 1308 and the finished capsule skin product clamped therein to move out of the forming adsorption cylinder 902 during the upward process;

[0143] Finally, the removed capsule skin finished products are placed in the finished product area for further processing or packaging. This step needs to be carried out according to the specific production process and process requirements.
