[0032] In this process, after the rising in place stop switch on the self-propelled trolley frame 115 is triggered, it means that the rising in place is reached, if it continues to rise due to other factors, the rising overtravel switch 1153 will be triggered, then the lifting drive motor and the reducer 104 are controlled to stop operating, which plays a secondary protection role by the rising overtravel switch 1153;

[0033] Step six, the current vehicle model stored in the corresponding vehicle information storage variable of the upper station one 6 is transmitted to the corresponding vehicle information storage variable of the lower station 2, and the next vehicle model is sent to the corresponding vehicle information storage variable of the upper station two 9 as the current vehicle model of the upper station two 9; At this time, the side wall of the tool is moved into the lower part of the upper station two 9, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 of the self-propelled trolley 1 at the upper station two 9 are reversely driven, the coupling 105 and the lifting drive pulley 114 are reversely operated, the lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to operate, the lifting frame 112 is lowered through the belt guide wheel 117 and the belt hanging point assembly 113, when the lifting frame 112 is lowered to the low position, the lowering in-place deceleration switch and the in-place stop switch on the lifting frame 112 are triggered, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are stopped, the lock side wall tool assembly drive motor and the speed reducer 112301 are controlled to rotate, and then the latch 112304 is driven to pass through the lifting lug hole of the side wall tool and insert into the limiting slot 112305, so as to pick up the side wall tool; If the side wall tool locking in-place switch 112313 is triggered, it indicates that the side wall tool is locked in place, the lock side wall tool assembly drive motor and the speed reducer 112301 are stopped, the driving is completed, and the next step is entered;

[0034] Step seven, after picking up the side wall tool, whether the side wall tool is in place is detected by the side wall detection photoelectric sensor 1126, if the side wall tool is in place, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 of the self-propelled trolley 1 at the upper station two 9 are forwardly driven, the coupling 105 and the lifting drive pulley 114 are forwardly operated, the lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to operate, the lifting frame 112 is lifted through the belt guide wheel 117 and the belt hanging point assembly 113, when the lifting in-place deceleration switch and the lifting in-place stop switch are triggered, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are stopped, the walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 of the self-propelled trolley 1 are forwardly operated, the walking main drive wheel 1012 is driven to run on the production line track 3, the self-propelled trolley 1 carrying the side wall part drives away from the upper station two 9 area and waits at the waiting position two position where the waiting position two switch 10 is located; When there is no vehicle in the lower station 2 and there is a vehicle in the upper station one 6 or the waiting position one, the turnout one 4 is switched to the curved track, the walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 of the self-propelled trolley 1 at the waiting position two are forwardly operated, the walking main drive wheel 1012 is driven to run on the production line track 3, the position value of the self-propelled trolley 1 is read by the ruler positioning code reader 108, and when it drives to the lower station 2, the walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 of the self-propelled trolley 1 are stopped;

If the vehicle model stored in the lower workstation 2 is not equal to the vehicle model stored in the main welding line pre-assembly workstation, an error alarm is triggered; if the vehicle model stored in the lower workstation 2 is equal to the vehicle model stored in the main welding line pre-assembly workstation, the vehicle model comparison is consistent, and the lifting drive motor and reducer 104 of the self-propelled trolley 1 at the lower workstation 2 are controlled to reverse.

After the self-propelled trolley 1 lowers the side wall, the robot grabs and performs the operation of assembling the vehicle, and then the self-propelled trolley 1 returns to the upper piece station from the lower piece station 2, and waits to pick up the next side wall. When any self-propelled trolley 1 in work fails, the standby trolley 8 can be quickly switched to the corresponding working position to work, and the self-propelled trolley 1 that fails is switched to the maintenance station 7, thereby reducing the loss of stoppage.

[0113] Overall structure of the self-propelled trolley 1 Figure 2As shown, the walking main drive assembly 101 and the walking driven assembly 107 run on the production line track 3, and the two assemblies are connected together through the pin shaft and the connecting rod 102 to form an integral whole. The slide wire is installed on the side of the production line track 3, which is used to supply power to the power supply system of the trolley control system. The ruler positioning code reader 108 is installed beside the walking main drive assembly 101, which is used to identify the two-dimensional code ruler position information installed on the entire track of the conveying system. The ruler positioning code reader 108 is connected with the trolley PLC control system to realize the closed-loop positioning control of the trolley 1 on the track working position. The positioning rod 103 is installed on the connecting rod 102, and when the trolley 1 runs to the position, the positioning rod 103 is clamped by the air cylinder clampers arranged on each working position, so that the mechanical positioning locking of the trolley 1 is realized during the lifting operation of the trolley 1, and the stability of the trolley 1 is maintained.

The lifting drive belt 118 is connected with the lifting frame 112 through the belt guide wheel 117 arranged on the four positions of the trolley frame 115 and the four belt hanging point assemblies 113. When the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 run in forward and reverse directions, the shaft coupling 105 and the lifting drive belt pulley 114 also run in forward and reverse directions. The lifting drive belt 118 housed in the lifting drive belt pulley 114 is driven to run.

Figure 10 As shown, the self-propelled trolley balance rail 121 is installed on the balance rail boom 122, the diagonal brace boom 123, and the balance rail crane 124.

[0119] Lifting frame 112 Figure 5 As shown, the lifting frame 112 is equipped with two sets of side sensor brackets 1125. A side sensor photoelectric sensor 1126 is installed at the lower end of each side sensor bracket 1125 to detect and identify whether a side panel is present on the side panel fixture. Two sets of guide rod first guide wheel mechanisms 1124 are installed on both sides of the center of the lifting frame 112. Each set of first guide wheel mechanisms 1124 has four circumferentially arranged guide wheels, forming a hollow guide mechanism. Guide rods 1152 are inserted into this hollow guide mechanism. The first guide wheel mechanism 1124 cooperates with the two guide rods 1152 on the self-propelled trolley frame 115, playing a guiding and positioning role in the upper half of the lifting stroke of the lifting frame 112. The lower half of the lifting stroke of the lifting frame 112 relies on the second guide wheel mechanism 1127 and the grooved column guide rail installed on the ground for guidance. In the second guide wheel mechanism 1127, guide wheels one 11271, guide wheel two 11273, and guide wheel five 11276 mate with the inner bottom surface of the grooved guide rail, restricting the degree of freedom perpendicular to the inner bottom surface of the grooved guide rail and the degree of freedom of overturning rotation; guide wheel four 11275 mates with the inner surfaces of both sides of the groove of the grooved guide rail, and guide wheel three 11274 mates with the outer surface of one side of the groove of the grooved guide rail; cam bearing one 11272 and cam bearing two 11279 are mounted on the cam bearing mounting seat 11278, and cam bearing one 11272 and cam bearing two 11279 respectively mate with the inner surfaces of both sides of the groove of the grooved guide rail; guide wheels four 11275, guide wheel three 11274, cam bearing one 11272, and cam bearing two 11279 together restrict the degree of freedom perpendicular to the two sides of the groove of the grooved guide rail and the degree of freedom of overturning rotation. The second guide wheel mechanism 1127 is mounted on the lifting frame 112 via the guide support 11277. A tank chain bracket 1121 and a tank chain 1122 are mounted on the crossbar of the portal frame of the lifting frame 112. Signal cables and power cables are installed inside the tank chain 1122. One end of the cable is led out from the PLC control box of the self-propelled trolley, and the other end is connected to the side panel tooling drive motor 112301 and the side panel detection sensor 1126.

[0120] A locking side panel tooling assembly 1123 is installed in the middle of the lifting frame 112, such as...Figure 6 and Figure 7 The output shaft of the lock side body tool assembly driving motor and reducer 112301 is connected with the swing arm 112316, which contains four branch arms. The joint bearing one 112309 and the joint bearing two 112311 are connected with the connecting rod 112310 through threads and nuts. The swing arm 112316 is connected with the joint shaft 112311 through the pin shaft 112318. The joint bearing 112309 is connected with the linear slide rail mechanism 112308 through the pin shaft 112302. One end of the floating head 112306 is a threaded rod structure, which is connected with the threaded hole of the linear slide rail mechanism 112308 and fastened with the locking nut 112307. The other end of the floating head 112306 is embedded with the T-shaped slot of the tail of the latch 112304, forming a floating connection. The latch 112304 penetrates through the sliding bearing and bearing seat 112303 and can slide linearly therein. The limiting clamping groove 112305 is provided with a through hole, and the latch 112304 can be inserted into the hole when it is extended, and the slot structure of the limiting clamping groove 112305 is used for guiding the side body tool lifting lug during the descent of the lifting frame 112. The induction plates 112314 and 112315 are installed on two adjacent branch arms of the swing arm 112316 and are used for triggering the side body tool locking in place switch 112313 and the side body tool loosening in place switch 112317, respectively. The swing arm 112316 converts the rotary motion of the motor into the linear motion of the four groups of latch 112304 with the same structure. When the lock side body tool assembly driving motor and reducer 112301 rotates forward, the swing arm 112316 rotates, which drives the linear slide rail mechanism 112308 to slide outward along the linear slide rail 112312 through the joint bearing one 112309, the connecting rod 112310 and the joint bearing two 112311, and further drives the floating head 112306 and the latch 112304 to penetrate through the sliding bearing and bearing seat 112303, the side body tool lifting lug and the limiting clamping groove 112305. After the latch 112304 is extended and locked in place, the side body tool locking in place switch 112313 is triggered by the induction plate 112314. When the lock side body tool assembly driving motor and reducer 112301 reverses, the swing arm 112316 rotates, which drives the linear slide rail mechanism 112308 to slide inward along the linear slide rail 112312 through the joint bearing one 112309, the connecting rod 112310 and the joint bearing two 112311, and further drives the floating head 112306 and the latch 112304 to penetrate through the sliding bearing and bearing seat 112303 inwardly and away from the side body tool lifting lug and the limiting clamping groove 112305. After the latch 112304 is retracted and loosened in place, the side body tool loosening in place switch 112317 is triggered by the induction plate 112315.

[0121] The power required by the trolley is provided by the slide wire on the track 3 of the conveying system production line through the trolley carbon brush device 1018, and the slide wire is 6 in parallel, which respectively provides 380V (L1, L2, L3), 220V (L, N) voltage and PE grounding wire. The 380V power is used for frequency converter and motor power supply, and the 220V is connected to the 24V DC power module to provide 24V control power for the trolley control system.

[0122] The whole control system is composed of a main control PLC control system and a trolley PLC control system. The main control PLC control system includes a main control PLC controller, an HMI operation picture system and a remote IO. The main control PLC controller is responsible for the overall operation control of the conveying system, simultaneously monitors and identifies the state of the remote IO signal, implements logical judgment and issues instructions. The remote IO signals include: trolley upper piece position one in position detection (signal collected by the occupying switch arranged on the upper piece position one 6), trolley upper piece position two in position detection (signal collected by the occupying switch arranged on the upper piece position two 9), trolley waiting position one in position detection (signal collected by the waiting position switch one 5), trolley waiting position two in position detection (signal collected by the waiting position switch two 10), trolley lower piece position in position detection (signal collected by the occupying switch arranged on the lower piece position 2), upper piece position one positioning clamping in position, upper piece position one positioning releasing in position, upper piece position two positioning releasing in position, upper piece position two positioning clamping in position, upper piece position two positioning releasing in position, lower piece position positioning releasing in position, and lower piece position positioning clamping in position (signals collected by the in-position sensing sensors on the cylinder clamping device of the positioning clamping rod 103 arranged on the upper piece position one 6, upper piece position two 9 and lower piece position 2, respectively).

[0123] The trolley PLC control system is composed of a trolley PLC controller, a horizontal walking frequency converter, a walking main drive motor and a reducer 1011, a vertical lifting frequency converter, a lifting drive motor and a speed reducer 104, a lock side wall tool driving motor and a reducer 112301, a remote IO, a remote controller and a ruler positioning code reader 108. Among them, the trolley PLC controller, the horizontal walking frequency converter and the vertical lifting frequency converter are installed on the trolley body, and the walking main drive motor and the reducer 1011, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104, the lock side wall tool driving motor and the reducer 112301, the remote IO, the remote controller and the ruler positioning code reader 108 are installed on the trolley body. Figure 2The self-propelled trolley PLC control box 119 is fixed on the lifting frame 112, and the self-propelled trolley PLC control system is responsible for the operation control of the trolley itself. The frequency converter is a driving unit of the motor, and realizes the speed regulation of the motor. The remote IO collects the state of the trolley, and the self-propelled trolley PLC controller implements operation process control according to the state condition. The remote IO signals include: up-to-position deceleration detection, up-to-position stop detection, up-to-position overtravel detection, belt breakage detection (signals collected by the travel switch 1133), side wall piece detection (signals collected by the side wall detection photoelectric sensor 1126), side wall tool locking detection, side wall tool unlocking detection, down-to-position deceleration detection, and down-to-position stop detection. The closed-loop control of the trolley horizontal walking to the position stop is realized through the ruler positioning code reader 108, and the precise positioning function is achieved. Manual operation control of the trolley can be realized through the remote controller.

[0124] The self-propelled trolley frame 115 is provided with an up-to-position deceleration switch and an up-to-position stop switch, and the lifting frame 112 is provided with a down-to-position deceleration switch and a down-to-position stop switch.

[0125] Up-to-position deceleration detection: when the lifting frame 112 reaches the triggering distance during the lifting process, the up-to-position deceleration switch installed on the self-propelled trolley frame 115 is triggered, and the up-to-position deceleration switch sends a deceleration signal.

[0126] Up-to-position stop detection: when the lifting frame 112 is lifted to the position, the up-to-position stop switch installed on the self-propelled trolley frame 115 is triggered, and a to-position signal is sent.

[0127] Up-to-position overtravel detection: when the lifting frame 112 is lifted to the overtravel position, the up-to-position overtravel switch 1153 installed on the self-propelled trolley frame 115 is triggered, and an overtravel signal is sent.

[0128] Side wall tool locking detection and side wall tool unlocking detection: the side wall tool locking to position switch 112313 and the side wall tool unlocking to position switch 112317 installed on the lifting frame 112 detect whether the bolt 112304 is in the extended locking state or in the retracted unlocking state.

[0129] Down-to-position deceleration detection: when the lifting frame 112 is lowered to the position requiring deceleration, the down-to-position deceleration switch installed on the lifting frame 112 is triggered, and a deceleration signal is sent.

[0130] Down-to-position stop detection: when the lifting frame 112 is lowered to the lowest target position, the down-to-position stop switch installed on the lifting frame 112 is triggered, and a down-to-position signal is sent.

[0131] The signal interaction is carried out between the master PLC controller and the self-propelled trolley PLC controller arranged on the self-propelled trolley 1 through a wireless signal coupler. Two pairs of wireless signal couplers are arranged at each station, and each pair of wireless signal couplers is composed of a sending end and a receiving end. The master PLC controller sends the rising, falling, advancing, retreating, enabling, station safety and other operation control instructions to the self-propelled trolley receiving end through the sending end. After the self-propelled trolley receiving end receives the corresponding operation control instruction, the self-propelled trolley PLC controller controls the self-propelled trolley 1 to realize the corresponding action function. Meanwhile, the self-propelled trolley 1 can send the retreat-to-position, advance-to-position, rise-to-position, fall-to-position, fault and other working state information to the master PLC receiving end through the wireless signal coupler sending end. The retreat-to-position signal is detected by the occupancy switch installed on the upper piece station to determine whether the self-propelled trolley is in position, and the advance-to-position signal is detected by the occupancy switch installed on the lower piece station to determine whether the self-propelled trolley is in position. In the waiting position, the master PLC controller and the self-propelled trolley 1 interact through photoelectric signals to realize the waiting position stop command and the advance-to-lower-piece-station command of the master PLC controller to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller. Specifically:

[0132] The master PLC sends a "rise command", and after the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "rise command", it sends a driving instruction to the vertical lifting frequency converter. The lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are driven in forward rotation, the coupling 105 and the lifting drive pulley 114 are driven in forward rotation, the lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven in reverse rotation, and the lifting frame 112 is lifted through the belt guide wheel 117 and the four belt hanging point assemblies 113.

[0133] After the self-propelled trolley PLC controller of the self-propelled trolley 1 receives the "fall command", it sends a driving instruction to the vertical lifting frequency converter. The lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are driven in reverse rotation, the coupling 105 and the lifting drive pulley 114 are driven in reverse rotation, the lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to rotate out of the lifting drive pulley 114, and the lifting frame 112 is lowered through the belt guide wheel 117 and the four belt hanging point assemblies 113. The lifting mechanism descends to the low position, triggering the falling-to-position deceleration switch and the falling-to-position stop switch. The "falling-to-position deceleration detection" and "falling-to-position stop detection" signals on the remote IO are fed back to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the vertical lifting frequency converter to stop running.

[0134] The master PLC controller sends an "advance command" to the self-propelled trolley 1, and the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "advance command" through the wireless signal coupler. The self-propelled trolley PLC controller sends a driving instruction to the walking frequency converter. The walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 are driven in forward rotation, and the walking main drive wheel 1012 is driven to run on the production line track 3.

[0135] The host PLC controller sends a "back command", and after the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "back command" through the wireless signal coupler, it sends a driving instruction to the walking frequency converter, controls the walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 to reverse operation, and drives the walking main drive wheel 1012 to run on the production line track 3.

[0136] After the "enable" instruction is received by the self-propelled trolley PLC controller, it is sent to the "vertical lifting frequency converter" and "walking frequency converter" to make them in a standby running state.

[0137] The "station safety" instruction will make logical judgment on the relevant safety signals collected by the host PLC, and send it to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller. Only when the safety conditions are met, the self-propelled trolley can run.

[0138] Conveying system control process:

[0139] Step one, initially, two self-propelled trolleys 1 (self-propelled trolley one and self-propelled trolley two) are waiting at the upper part station one 6 and the upper part station two 9 respectively;

[0140] Step two, the host PLC controller receives the vehicle model queue sent by the main welding line, and sends the current vehicle model to the built-in upper part station one 6 corresponding vehicle model information storage variable, while moving the side wall tooling into the lower part of the upper part station one 6, so that the lifting lug of the side wall tooling is located between the sliding bearing and bearing seat 112303 and the limiting slot 112305, the host PLC controller sends a "lower command" to the self-propelled trolley one through the wireless coupler at the upper part station one 6, and the self-propelled trolley PLC controller of the self-propelled trolley one receives the "lower command" and sends a driving instruction to the vertical lifting frequency converter, controls the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 to reverse drive, the coupling 105 and the lifting drive pulley 114 follow the reverse operation, the lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to rotate out of the lifting drive pulley 114, passes through the belt guide wheel 117 and the four belt lifting point assemblies 113 to drive the lifting frame 112 to descend under the guidance of the guide rod 1152, when the lifting frame 112 descends to the low position, the descending position reduction switch on the lifting frame 112 is triggered, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are controlled to operate at a reduced speed, and when the descending position stop switch on the lifting frame 112 is triggered, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are controlled to stop running; the "lower position reduction detection" and "lower position stop detection" signals on the remote IO are fed back to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the vertical lifting frequency converter to stop running.

[0141] Step three, the self-propelled trolley PLC controller controls the lock side wall tooling assembly drive motor and reducer 112301 to rotate, and then drives the latch 112304 to pass through the lifting lug hole of the side wall tooling and insert into the limiting slot 112305, to pick up the side wall tooling; whether the rotation driving of the lock side wall tooling assembly drive motor and reducer 112301 is completed is identified through the "side wall tooling locking in place" and "side wall tooling opening in place" signals triggered by the side wall tooling locking in place switch 112313 and the side wall tooling opening in place switch 112317 on the remote IO. If the side wall tooling locking in place switch 112313 is triggered, it indicates that the side wall tooling is locked in place, the lock side wall tooling assembly drive motor and reducer 112301 stops rotating, the driving is completed, and the next step is entered;

[0142] Step four, after picking up the side wall tooling, whether the side wall tooling is in place is detected by the side wall detection photoelectric sensor 1126. After detecting that the side wall tooling is in place, when the "side wall has a piece detection" signal on the remote IO is normal, the self-propelled trolley PLC feeds back the "has a piece" signal to the main control PLC through the wireless signal coupler, the main control PLC sends an "ascending command", and the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "ascending command" and sends a driving instruction to the vertical lifting frequency converter, controls the lifting drive motor and reducer 104 to drive in the forward direction, the coupling 105 and the lifting drive pulley 114 follow the forward rotation, the lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to run in the reverse direction, and the lifting frame 112 is driven to rise through the belt guide wheel 117 and the four belt lifting point assemblies 113. When the ascending in place deceleration switch on the self-propelled trolley frame 115 is triggered, the lifting drive motor and reducer 104 are controlled to run at a reduced speed. When the ascending in place stop switch is triggered, the lifting drive motor and reducer 104 are controlled to stop running. The "ascending in place deceleration detection" and "ascending in place stop detection" signals on the remote IO are fed back to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the vertical lifting frequency converter to stop running. The lifting mechanism lifts the side wall piece to the high position, and the self-propelled trolley one feeds back the "ascending in place" signal to the main control PLC controller through the wireless signal coupler. The main control PLC controller sends a "forward command" to the self-propelled trolley one, the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "forward command" through the wireless signal coupler, sends a driving instruction to the walking frequency converter, and then controls the walking main drive motor and reducer 1011 to run in the forward direction. The walking main drive wheel 1012 runs on the production line track 3, so that the self-propelled trolley 1 in the piece loading station one 6 carries the side wall piece and drives away from the piece loading station one 6 area until Figure 1 The waiting position switch one 5 is triggered, and the self-propelled trolley 1 reaches the waiting position one and waits;

[0143] Step five, the occupying switch is installed in the lower piece station 2, the upper piece station one 6, the upper piece station two 9, and is connected with the remote IO of the main control PLC control system, the trolley lower piece station in position detection, the trolley upper piece station one in position detection and the trolley upper piece station two in position detection signal feedback is given to the main control PLC, and the main control PLC controller identifies whether the self-propelled car 1 is in position in each station. By the logic judgment of the main control PLC controller, when the signal of the occupying switch on the lower piece station 2, the occupying switch on the upper piece station two 9 and the waiting position switch two 10 is judged to satisfy that the lower piece station 2 has no car and the upper piece station two 9 or the waiting position two has a car, the self-propelled car one is sent with the photoelectric switch “forward to the lower piece station 2 command”, and the turnout one 4 is switched to the straight rail, after the self-propelled car PLC controller receives “forward to the lower piece station 2 command”, the driving instruction is sent to the walking frequency converter, the walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 in the upper piece station one 6 are controlled to rotate forward, the driving walking main drive wheel 1012 is driven to run on the production line rail 3, the position value of the self-propelled car 1 horizontal walking is read through the ruler positioning reader 108, when driving to the lower piece station 2, the self-propelled car PLC controller controls the self-propelled car 1 to stop positioning (i.e. the walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 stop running) according to the position value read by the ruler positioning reader 108, and the “forward to position” signal is fed back to the main control PLC through the wireless signal coupler by the self-propelled car PLC controller.At this time, the main control PLC transmits the current vehicle model number stored in the storage variable corresponding to the vehicle model information of the upper part station 1-6 to the storage variable corresponding to the vehicle model information of the lower part station 2, and performs program logic comparison with the vehicle model number in the storage variable corresponding to the vehicle model information of the main welding line preloading station. When the vehicle model number in the storage variable of the lower part station 2 is not equal to the vehicle model number in the storage variable of the main welding line preloading station, the main control PLC controller issues an inconsistent error alarm. When the vehicle model number in the storage variable of the lower part station 2 is equal to the vehicle model number in the storage variable of the main welding line preloading station, the main control PLC controller issues a vehicle model comparison consistent signal. When the main control PLC controller issues the vehicle model comparison consistent signal, and the main control PLC controller receives the non-interference signal sent by the main welding line, the main control PLC controller sends a "lowering command" to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller through the wireless signal coupler at the lower part station 2. After the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "lowering command", it sends a driving instruction to the vertical lifting frequency converter, controls the lifting drive motor and speed reducer 104 of the self-propelled trolley 1 in the lower part station 2 to reverse drive, and the coupling 105 and lifting drive pulley 114 follow the reverse operation. The lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to operate, and the lifting frame 112 is lowered through the belt guide wheel 117 and the four belt hanging point assemblies 113. The lifting mechanism descends to the low position until the lowering position reduction switch and the position stop switch are triggered. The "lowering position reduction detection" and "lowering position stop detection" signals on the remote IO are fed back to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller, and the self-propelled trolley PLC controller controls the vertical lifting frequency converter to stop running. The lifting drive motor and speed reducer 104 stop running, and the lifting frame 112 descends to the position, delivering the side wall tool to the main welding line robot grabbing position. After the robot completes the grabbing, it sends a grabbing completion signal to the main control PLC controller, and the main control PLC controller sends an "ascending command" to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller through the wireless signal coupler at the lower part station 2. After the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "ascending command", it sends a driving instruction to the vertical lifting frequency converter, controls the lifting drive motor and speed reducer 104 to drive in the positive direction, and the coupling 105 and lifting drive pulley 114 follow the positive rotation. The lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to operate, and the lifting frame 112 is lifted through the belt guide wheel 117 and the four belt hanging point assemblies 113. The lifting mechanism rises to the high position until the ascending position reduction switch and the ascending position stop switch on the self-propelled trolley frame 115 are triggered. The lifting drive motor and speed reducer 104 stop running, and the "ascending position reduction detection" and "ascending position stop detection" signals on the remote IO are fed back to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller. The PLC controller controls the vertical lifting frequency converter to stop running. After the lifting mechanism rises to the high position, the self-propelled trolley sends an "ascending position" signal to the main control PLC controller.The host PLC controller sends a "back command", and after the self-propelled trolley PLC controller receives the "back command" through the wireless signal coupler, it sends a driving instruction to the walking frequency converter, controls the walking main drive motor and the speed reducer 1011 to reverse operation, drives the walking main drive wheel 1012 to run on the production line track 3, so that the self-propelled trolley 1 in the lower part position 2 returns to the upper part position 1 6, and waits to pick up the next side wall part.

[0144] In this process, after the rising to position stop switch on the self-propelled trolley frame 115 is triggered, it indicates that the rising is in position, and if it continues to rise due to other factors, the rising overtravel switch 1153 will be triggered, and then the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are stopped, and the rising overtravel switch 1153 serves as a secondary protection function;

[0145] Step six: After the current vehicle model stored in the corresponding vehicle information storage variable of the upper part position 1 6 is transmitted to the corresponding vehicle information storage variable of the lower part position 2, the next vehicle model is sent to the corresponding vehicle information storage variable of the upper part position 2 9 as the current vehicle model of the upper part position 2 9. At this time, the tool with the side wall is moved into the lower part of the upper part position 2 9, and the host PLC sends a "lower command" to the self-propelled trolley 2 through the wireless coupler at the upper part position 2 9. After the PLC controller of the self-propelled trolley 2 receives the "lower command", it sends a driving instruction to the vertical lifting frequency converter, controls the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 of the self-propelled trolley 1 at the upper part position 2 9 to reverse drive, the shaft coupling 105 and the lifting drive pulley 114 follow the reverse operation, the lifting drive belt 118 stored in the lifting drive pulley 114 is driven to run, passes through the belt guide wheel 117 and the four belt hanging point assemblies 113 to drive the lifting frame 112 to descend, when the lifting frame 112 descends to the lower position, the descending to position deceleration switch and the to position stop switch on it are triggered, the lifting drive motor and the speed reducer 104 are stopped, the "descending to position deceleration detection" and "descending to position stop detection" signals on the remote IO are fed back to the self-propelled trolley PLC controller, and the PLC controller controls the vertical lifting frequency converter to stop running. The self-propelled trolley PLC controller controls the lock side wall tool assembly drive motor and the speed reducer 112301 to rotate, and then drives the latch 112304 to pass through the ear hole of the side wall tool and insert into the limiting slot 112305, to pick up the side wall tool; whether the rotation driving of the lock side wall tool assembly drive motor and the speed reducer 112301 is completed is identified through the "side wall tool locking to position" and "side wall tool opening to position" signals triggered by the side wall tool locking to position switch 112313 and the side wall tool opening to position switch 112317 on the remote IO, if the side wall tool locking to position switch 112313 is triggered, it indicates that the side wall tool is locked in position, the lock side wall tool assembly drive motor and the speed reducer 112301 are controlled to stop rotating, the driving is completed, and the next step is entered.
