DETAILED DESCRIPTION The preferred embodiments of the present invention are described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the preferred embodiments described herein are only used to illustrate and explain the present invention, and are not used to limit the present invention.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 16The device for automatic assembly and visual error prevention of braces is shown, which is used to install threaded braces on a jig, and uses a visual system to position the braces during the installation process and perform post-installation inspection, including a feeding positioning component 2, a tightening component 4, and a fixture component 3; the fixture component 3 is provided with at least one positioning top block 301 and at least one corner pressing cylinder 302, and handles 303 are also provided on both sides of the fixture component 3. The positioning top block 301 can position the bottom of the jig, which is conducive to the stable placement of the jig on the jig component 3, and the corner pressing cylinder 302 presses the jig on the jig component 3 from the upper end of the jig, so that the jig will not move when the threaded braces are installed, and the handle 303 can lift the jig when the operator moves the jig, which is convenient for the operator to operate. The jig on which the threaded sleeve needs to be installed is clamped on the fixture assembly 3; the feeding and positioning assembly 2 includes a vibration plate component 201 and a positioner; the vibration plate component 201 arranges and outputs the threaded sleeves, and then the threaded sleeves are taken individually to the positioner, and the tightening assembly 4 includes a first manipulator 406, and the first manipulator 406 is connected to a first image acquisition device 403 and a tightening head 4021; the first image acquisition device 403 can first take a picture of the jig and then transmit it to the visual inspection system. After the visual inspection system determines the position on the jig where the threaded sleeve needs to be installed, the first manipulator 406 grabs the threaded sleeve on the positioner and places it on the jig. After the tightening head tightens the threaded sleeve and the jig, the first image acquisition device 403 takes a picture of the tightened threaded sleeve and transmits it to the visual inspection system. The visual inspection system can determine the installation effect of the threaded sleeve and the jig, so there is no need to manually inspect the installed threaded sleeve. This not only achieves a better inspection effect, but also saves labor costs, thereby improving the efficiency of installation inspection.
[0021] A tail flushing assembly 6 is also provided on one side of the tightening assembly 4. The tail flushing assembly 6 includes a second manipulator 601. The second manipulator 601 is connected to a second image acquisition device 606, a tail flushing cylinder 603 and a tail end recovery component 604. The second image acquisition device 606 takes a photo and uses a visual inspection system to identify the position of the tail end of the threaded sleeve. The tail flushing cylinder 603 hits the installed tail end of the threaded sleeve to make it fall off. The tail end recovery component 604 collects the flushed tail end of the threaded sleeve into the tail end collection box 6041.
[0022] The working principle of the visual inspection system is to first input qualified photos into the system, and then use the first image acquisition device 403 or the second image acquisition device 606 to take photos of the jig and threaded sockets during the installation process, and compare the photos of the installation process with the photos stored in the system. The first is to determine which position in the jig is used to install the threaded socket based on the function of the corresponding position of the photo in the system, and the second function is to determine whether there are distinguishing points, and to determine the defects generated during the installation process based on the distinguishing points for detection.
[0023] The first image acquisition device 403 and the second image acquisition device 606 can replace manual identification of the safety of the fixture and detection and judgment of the effect after installation, thereby saving the process of manual identification and detection. The recognition efficiency of the visual inspection system is higher than that of manual identification and detection, thereby also improving the efficiency of fixture installation and detection.
[0024] The tightening assembly 4 includes a tightening motor 401, which is connected to a tightening head mounting seat 402, and a tightening head 4021 is detachably connected to the lower end of the tightening head mounting seat 402. A tightening head replacement lifting cylinder 404 is arranged on the side of the tightening motor 401, and the output end of the tightening head replacement lifting cylinder 404 is connected to a tightening head replacement clamping cylinder 405, and the tightening head replacement clamping cylinder 405 is connected to a tightening head clamp 4051. When the tightening head 4021 needs to be removed, the tightening head clamp 4051 clamps the tightening head 4021 under the drive of the tightening head replacement clamping cylinder 405, and then the output end of the tightening head replacement lifting cylinder 404 descends to pull the tightening head 4021 out of the lower end of the tightening head mounting seat 402.
[0025] When the tightening head 4021 needs to be installed, the tightening head clamp 4051 clamps the tightening head 4021 under the drive of the tightening head replacement clamping cylinder 405, and then the output end of the tightening head replacement lifting cylinder 404 rises, and the tightening head 4021 is inserted into the lower end of the tightening head mounting seat 402, so that the tightening head 4021 is connected to the tightening head mounting seat 402.
[0026] A tightening head placement component 5 is also provided on the side of the first manipulator 406, and the tightening head placement component 5 includes a placement base 501, and the placement base 501 is provided with at least one transfer extraction cylinder 502, and the transfer extraction cylinder 502 is connected to the extraction clamp 5021, and a positioning socket 503 is provided directly below the extraction clamp 5021, and an infrared sensor 504 is provided directly below the positioning socket 503. The infrared sensor 504 can sense whether there is a tightening head 4021 on the positioning socket 503 at this moment. In this embodiment, a plurality of positioning sockets 503 are provided, and different types of tightening heads 4021 are respectively plugged into the plurality of positioning sockets 503. If the infrared sensor 504 senses that there is no tightening head 4021 on the positioning socket 503 at this moment, it means that the tightening head 4021 is in use at this moment. When the first manipulator 406 drives the tightening head fixture 4051 to replace the tightening head 402 1, first the tightening head fixture 4051 clamps the tightening head 4021 pulled out from the tightening head mounting seat 402 and comes to the top of the extraction clamp 5021, the extraction clamp 5021 clamps the tightening head 4021, the tightening head fixture 4051 loosens the tightening head 4021, and then the tightening head fixture 4051 is moved away, and the extraction clamp 5021 loosens the tightening head 4021, and the tightening head 4021 falls into the positioning socket 503. When the tightening head fixture 4051 needs to take away the tightening head 4021 on another positioning socket 503, it only needs to directly clamp the tightening head 4021. Therefore, the first manipulator 406 can automatically replace different tightening heads 4021 for the tightening head fixture 4051 according to the instructions of the program to adapt to threaded sleeves of different sizes. Therefore, the tightening assembly 4 can install and operate a variety of threaded sleeves, making the equipment more flexible and having a wider range of applications.
[0027] The second manipulator 601 is connected to the tail punching base 602, and the tail punching cylinder 603 is connected to the tail punching base 602. The tail punching base 602 includes a tail punching socket 6021 and a suction interface 6022; the tail punching socket 6021 is connected to the inside of the suction interface 6022. The tail punching cylinder 603 is connected to the tail punching rod 6031, and the tail punching rod 6031 is movably inserted in the tail punching socket 6021; the suction interface 6022 is connected to the tail end recovery component 604, and the tail end recovery component 604 is connected to the vacuum generator 6042; the side of the tail end collection box 6041 is provided with a collection box opening and closing cylinder 605, and the collection box opening and closing cylinder 605 is connected to the collection box baffle 6051, and the collection box baffle 6051 is arranged at one end of the tail end collection box 6041 away from the suction interface 6022. First, the second image acquisition device 606 takes a photo of the fixture on which the threaded sleeve has been screwed, and the photo is transmitted to the visual inspection system. The visual inspection system recognizes and judges the image of the threaded sleeve thereon, locates the threaded sleeve whose tail end has not been flushed out, and then uses the tail punch rod 6031 to flush out the tail end of the threaded sleeve. The tail end of the flushed threaded sleeve is adsorbed by the vacuum generated by the vacuum generator 6042 and is sucked into the tail end collection box 6041 along the pipe of the tail end recovery component 604. When the tail end collection box 6041 collects a certain number of the tail ends of the flushed threaded sleeves, the operator can make the collection box opening and closing cylinder 605 open the collection box baffle 6051, so that the tail end of the threaded sleeve is cleaned out, and the tail punch component 6 automatically flushes out the tail of the threaded sleeve, and there is no need for manual secondary processing of the threaded sleeve, thereby saving manpower and installation processing time, and improving production efficiency.
[0028] The vibration plate component 201 includes a vibration plate 2012, and a material discharge track 2011 and a material shortage detector 2013 are arranged above the vibration plate 2012; the vibration plate 2012 arranges and outputs the threaded sleeves by vibration, and the material shortage detector 2013 is an infrared sensor that can detect whether there are any threaded sleeves in the vibration plate 2012. When the threaded sleeves in the vibration plate 2012 have been fully output, the material shortage detector 2013 detects it and transmits a signal to the control system of the equipment, reminding the staff to add threaded sleeves to the vibration plate 2012.
[0029] The positioner includes a first positioner 202 and a second positioner 203. Different positioners can be selected to position threaded sockets of different sizes. The positioner mainly positions and takes the threaded sockets individually, which facilitates the subsequent first manipulator 406 to take the threaded sockets.
[0030] The first positioner 202 includes a material guide tube 2021, and a material dividing component 2022 and a material discharge component 2023 are arranged on the side of the material guide tube 2021; the material dividing component 2022 includes a material dividing cylinder 20221, and the output end of the material dividing cylinder 20221 is connected to a material dividing top block 20222, and the material dividing top block 20222 is movably plugged into the side of the material guide tube 2021, and one end of the material dividing top block 20222 is provided with a fitting arc surface 20223; when the threaded sleeve falls into the material guide tube 2021, the threaded sleeves are stacked one on top of another to form a vertical row, and when the material dividing top block 20222 is inserted into the material guide tube 2021, the fitting arc surface 20223 presses against the side of one of the threaded sleeves, and the threaded sleeve cannot fall down any further, and only the threaded sleeve below the pressed threaded sleeve can continue to fall down.
[0031] The unloading component 2023 includes an unloading cylinder 20231, which is connected to an unloading baffle 20232, which is movably plugged into the side of the guide tube 2021, and the unloading baffle 20232 is located below the dividing top block 20222. The distance between the unloading baffle 20232 and the dividing top block 20222 is the length of a threaded sleeve, and the unloading baffle 20232 is provided with an unloading hole 20233; at the beginning, the unloading hole 20233 is not aligned with the empty space of the guide tube 2021, then a threaded sleeve just falls on the unloading baffle 20232, and when it is needed When taking out a threaded sleeve, the feed cutting baffle 20232 continues to be inserted into the guide tube 2021, so that the feed cutting hole 20233 coincides with the hole position of the guide tube 2021, and the threaded sleeve will fall out. Since the threaded sleeve above the threaded sleeve is supported by the fitting arc surface 20223, only one threaded sleeve falls out at a time. After one threaded sleeve falls out, the feed cutting baffle 20232 continues to seal the middle hole of the guide tube 2021, and the feed dividing top block 20222 temporarily withdraws, so that another threaded sleeve falls onto the feed cutting baffle 20232, and the feed dividing top block 20222 is inserted into the guide tube 2021.
[0032] The first positioner 202 also includes a batch picking cylinder 2024, which is connected to two first picking cylinders 2025, which are connected to a first picking clamp 20251, and a first picking sensor 20252 is arranged on the side of the first picking clamp 20251. The two first picking clamps 20251 are sequentially located directly below the guide tube 2021 under the drive of the batch picking cylinder 2024, so that each time a threaded sleeve falls out, it is just taken out by one of the first picking clamps 20251. In this embodiment, the first picking sensor 20252 is an infrared sensor, which can sense whether the first picking clamp 20251 has successfully picked up the threaded sleeve.
[0033] The second positioner 203 includes a screw sleeve arrangement track 2031, one end of which is provided with a screw sleeve material distribution cylinder 2032, the screw sleeve material distribution cylinder 2032 is connected to the material distribution clamp 20321, and the two material distribution clamps 20321 are respectively located on both sides of the screw sleeve arrangement track 2031; the second positioner 203 is also provided with a movable material picking cylinder 2033, the movable material picking cylinder 2033 is connected to the second material picking cylinder 2034, the second material picking cylinder 2034 is connected to the second material picking clamp 20341, and the side of the second material picking clamp 20341 is provided with a second material picking sensor 20342; the second material picking clamp 20341 is provided with an inner top block 2034A and Inner arc block 2034B, when the second material removal clamp 20341 is located at the front end of the screw sleeve arrangement track 2031, the threaded sleeve is pushed to the inner top block 2034A. Because the inner top block 2034A supports one end of the threaded sleeve, only one threaded sleeve is exactly at the position of the inner arc block 2034B at a time. The second material removal clamp 20341 only takes away one threaded sleeve each time, and the material separation clamp 20321 just clamps a threaded sleeve at the front end of the screw sleeve arrangement track 2031, so that when the second material removal clamp 20341 has not reached the front end of the screw sleeve arrangement track 2031, the threaded sleeve will not slip out, so that only one threaded sleeve can be taken away each time.
[0034] The feeding positioning assembly 2, the clamp assembly 3, the tightening assembly 4, the tightening head placement assembly 5 and the tail punching assembly 6 are all arranged in the guardrail 1, which prevents the first manipulator 406 and the second manipulator 601 from causing harm to the operator during work. A manual operating table 7 is also provided on the side of the guardrail 1 to facilitate the operator to manually operate and organize the fixture.
