[0027] An embodiment of the present application provides a rolling device for a sealing strip of a vehicle body door opening, so as to at least partially solve the problem of a low qualified rate of sealing strip installation when the sealing strip is installed by a rolling head driven by a mechanical arm.

[0028] The inventors of the present application discovered that the stop edge of the vehicle door opening may have irregular shapes or uneven surfaces due to manufacturing errors, and that there may also be errors in the stopping position of the vehicle body when installing the sealing strip. Therefore, when the rolling head is driven by a robotic arm to move along a preset trajectory of the stop edge, the rolling head cannot adapt well to the shape changes of the stop edge and the offset of the vehicle body position, which results in the rolling effect of the rolling head on the sealing strip being not uniform enough. There may be situations where the rolling force is too small, resulting in insufficient rolling, or the rolling force is too large, resulting in damage to the sealing strip and extrusion and deformation of the vehicle body sheet metal, and the qualified rate of sealing strip installation is low.

[0029] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, an embodiment of the present application provides a rolling device for a sealing strip of a vehicle body door opening. The rolling device includes a mechanical arm 100, a rolling head 200, and a floating mechanism 300. The mechanical arm 100 has an end 110 that can move in multiple degrees of freedom, and the mechanical arm 100 drives the rolling head 200 to move through its end 110. The rolling head 200 is arranged at the end 110 of the mechanical arm 100, and the rolling head 200 has two rolling wheels 310. The axes of the two rolling wheels 310 are parallel and spaced apart. The interval between the two rolling wheels 310 can be used to accommodate the stop edge and the sealing strip to be rolled on the stop edge. The two rolling wheels 310 can be roughly cylindrical. The two rolling wheels 310 can clamp the stop edge and the sealing strip by pneumatic pressing. By setting different rolling wheel gear spacings, it is possible to achieve compatibility with vehicle body door opening sealing strips of different sizes for multiple models. When the rolling device is working, the two rolling wheels 310 are respectively located on both sides of the stop edge of the vehicle body door opening, and the two rolling wheels 310 roll the sealing strip on the stop edge of the vehicle body door opening by clamping the sealing strip and moving along the stop edge of the vehicle body door opening. Exemplarily, in this embodiment, the rolling wheels 310 can be driven by a motor, a pneumatic motor, or other driving methods.

[0030] Combination Figure 3 , the rolling head 200 is connected to the end 110 through a floating mechanism 300, and the floating mechanism 300 can make the rolling head 200 move in a first direction Y and a second direction X relative to the end 110, wherein the first direction Y is parallel to the axis direction of the rolling wheel 310, and the second direction X is parallel to the plane where the axes of the two rolling wheels 310 are located and perpendicular to the axis direction of the rolling wheel 310. In this embodiment, the axis of the rolling wheel 310 can be the rotation axis of the rolling wheel 310. The rolling head 200 moves in the first direction Y relative to the end 110, so that the rolling head 200 can adapt to the shape change of the stop edge along its inner edge; the rolling head 200 moves in the first direction Y relative to the end 110, so that the rolling head 200 can adapt to the shape change of the stop edge in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the stop edge is located.

[0031] The embodiment of the present application provides a rolling device for a vehicle body door opening sealing strip, in which a rolling head 200 and an end 110 of a robot arm 100 are connected via a floating mechanism 300. The floating mechanism 300 enables the rolling head 200 to move along a first direction Y and a second direction X at the end 110 of the robot arm 100, so that when the robot arm 100 moves along a preset trajectory, the rolling head 200 can adapt to shape changes along the inner edge of the stop edge and in a direction perpendicular to the plane where the stop edge is located and to the stop position error of the vehicle body, thereby avoiding excessive or insufficient rolling pressure of the rolling head 200 on the sealing strip due to changes in the shape of the stop edge, thereby improving the qualified rate of sealing strip installation.

[0032] like Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the floating mechanism 300 includes a first mounting plate 211, a second mounting plate 212, a third mounting plate 213, a first floating assembly and a second floating assembly; the first mounting plate 211 is connected to the end 110 through the first floating assembly, and the first floating assembly enables the first mounting plate 211 to move in the first direction Y relative to the end 110; the second mounting plate 212 is vertically fixedly connected to the first mounting plate 211; the third mounting plate 213 is parallelly connected to the second mounting plate 212 through the second floating assembly, and the second floating assembly enables the third mounting plate 213 to move in the second direction X relative to the second mounting plate 212, and the rolling head 200 is fixedly connected to the third mounting plate 213. In this embodiment, the movement of the rolling head 200 in the first direction Y and the second direction X is achieved through the above structure, and the structure is simple and easy to process and assemble.

[0033] In some embodiments, the first floating assembly includes a first cylinder 222 and a first sliding mechanism 221; the first mounting plate 211 and the second mounting plate 212 form a T-shape, the first mounting plate 211 is slidably connected to the end 110 through the first sliding mechanism 221, and the first cylinder 222 is fixedly arranged on the end 110; the piston rod of the first cylinder 222 is connected to the second mounting plate 212, and the extension direction of the piston rod of the first cylinder 222 is parallel to the first mounting plate 211 and perpendicular to the second mounting plate 212. In this embodiment, the piston rod of the first cylinder 222 drives the first mounting plate 211 to slide along the first sliding mechanism 221 by applying force to the second mounting plate 212, thereby driving the rolling head 200 to move along the first direction Y. By way of example, the first sliding mechanism 221 can be a slide groove and slide rail structure. It can be understood that the stop edge of the vehicle door opening is usually surrounded along the circumference of the vehicle door opening. When the robot arm 100 drives the rolling head 200 to move along the stop edge, its posture will flip. Affected by gravity, at different circumferential positions of the vehicle door opening, the deadweight of the rolling head 200 and the floating mechanism 300 will have different effects on the floating effect of the first floating component, causing the equilibrium position of the first floating component to be disturbed. Therefore, in this embodiment, the rolling head 200 is driven to move in the first direction Y by the first cylinder 222. The first cylinder 222 can actively adjust the power output according to the specific position of the rolling head 200, so that the first floating component is easier to maintain in the equilibrium position, ensuring that the floating mechanism 300 can work normally. Specifically, the end 110 of the robot arm 100 can also be provided with a proportional valve, which can control the intake and exhaust of the first cylinder 222. According to the different circumferential positions of the rolling head 200 in the vehicle door opening, the numerical value of the proportional valve is adjusted to achieve the purpose of balancing the gravity of the rolling head 200.

[0034] In some embodiments, the second floating assembly includes a push rod 233, two cylinders 232, two springs and a second sliding mechanism 231. By way of example, the second sliding mechanism 231 can be a structure in which a through hole and a sliding rod cooperate to achieve reliable limiting of the rolling head 200. The second mounting plate 212 is slidingly connected to the third mounting plate 213 through the second sliding mechanism 231. A mounting block 214 is provided on the second mounting plate 212. The push rod 233 is provided on the mounting block 214. The extension direction of the push rod 233 is the same as the second direction X. A mounting groove 215 is provided at a position corresponding to the third mounting plate 213 and the mounting block 214. The mounting groove 215 is "concave" shaped. The two cylinders 232 are respectively provided at the two ends 110 of the mounting groove 215 and the axes are colinearly arranged. The two springs are respectively provided in the two cylinders 232. The two ends of the push rod 233 are respectively slidably located in the two cylinders 232 and respectively abut against the two springs. In this embodiment, in the second direction X, the second sliding mechanism 231 is basically not disturbed by the rolling head 200 at different circumferential positions of the vehicle body door opening. Therefore, the second floating assembly is kept in a balanced position by the spring, which has a simple structure and low cost. When the mounting groove 215 moves, the spring in the corresponding direction will be compressed, thereby providing a restoring force for the mounting groove 215 to reset. Preferably, the first floating assembly and the second floating assembly can also include position sensors, which can monitor the positions of the floating assemblies in the first direction Y and the second direction X, respectively, for judging the status of the equipment.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, in some embodiments, the rolling device further includes a locking assembly 240, which is used to lock the sliding of the third mounting plate 213 relative to the second mounting plate 212. In this embodiment, by providing the locking assembly 240, the third mounting plate 213 can be locked to prevent the rolling head 200 from accidentally moving through the second floating assembly when the rolling device is in a non-working state, thereby damaging the device. At the same time, the rolling device can accurately locate the position of the rolling head 200 before rolling, thereby making the positioning of the rolling starting position more accurate.

[0036] like Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the locking assembly 240 includes a second cylinder 241, a locking wedge 242 and a locking hole 243; the second cylinder 241 is arranged on the first mounting plate 211, and the locking wedge 242 is arranged on the piston rod of the second cylinder 241, and the extension and retraction direction of the piston rod of the second cylinder 241 is parallel to the first mounting plate 211 and perpendicular to the second mounting plate 212; the locking hole 243 is arranged on the third mounting plate 213, and two guide wheels 244 are arranged in the locking hole 243, and the guide wheels 244 are used to guide the locking wedge 242 to be inserted into the locking hole 243; a through hole is opened on the second mounting plate 212, and the locking wedge 242 can pass through the through hole and enter the locking hole 243 to achieve locking. In this embodiment, the locking assembly 240 can be easily controlled by the second cylinder 241 to facilitate locking and unlocking; the wedge-shaped structure of the locking wedge 242 can achieve close contact with the locking wheel as the entry depth increases when entering the locking hole 243, thereby preventing shaking and making the locking effect more reliable. At the same time, the guide wheel 244 can make it easier for the locking wedge 242 to enter the locking hole 243, reduce the wear caused by close contact, and prevent the locking wedge 242 from getting stuck.

[0037] In some embodiments, the rolling device further includes a drive motor 320, which is disposed on the third mounting plate 213, and is in transmission connection with the rolling wheel 310, and the output shaft of the drive motor 320 is perpendicular to the axis of the rolling wheel 310. In this embodiment, the driving of the rolling wheel 310 is realized by the drive motor 320, and the rotation speed of the rolling wheel 310 can be easily controlled. The output shaft of the drive motor 320 is perpendicular to the axis of the rolling wheel 310, and the size of the rolling head 200 can be further controlled, which is convenient for rolling work, and the drive motor 320 and the rolling wheel 310 can realize power transmission through the bevel gear transmission assembly.

[0038] In some embodiments, the rolling device also includes a controller, and the controller is used to control the robot arm 100 and the drive motor 320. The controller is configured to: control the rotation speed of the drive motor 320 based on the movement speed of the end 110, so that the movement speed of the rim of the rolling wheel 310 matches the movement speed of the end 110. In the present application, since the rolling of the sealing strip is carried out by the robot arm 100 to drive the roller pressure head, this control method can prevent the relative displacement between the rolling wheel 310 and the sealing strip from scratching the sealing strip, avoid the problem of scratching the sealing strip caused by the incoordination between the movement speed of the end 110 and the movement speed of the rim of the rolling wheel 310, and improve the rolling qualification rate. Specifically, the drive motor 320 can be a servo motor, and the controller can include a robot arm controller and a servo motor controller that are communicatively connected. The movement speed of the end 110 of the robot arm 100 can be fed back to the servo motor controller through the robot arm controller, thereby realizing the association between the servo motor rotation speed and the movement speed of the end 110 of the robot arm 100. Exemplarily, the movement speed of the end 110 of the robot arm 100 can be V 1 , the speed of the servo motor can be V 2 , V 2 =nV 1 , wherein n may be a fixed proportional coefficient, and the specific value of n may be related to the bevel gear transmission ratio, the internal ruler wheel transmission ratio of the rolling wheel 310 , the diameter of the rolling wheel 310 , and the like.

[0039] Combination Figure 2 In some embodiments, the rolling device further includes a first camera 120, which is disposed at the end 110 and is used to obtain an image of the door opening of the vehicle body. The controller is further configured to: based on the image of the door opening of the vehicle body obtained by the first camera 120, control the mechanical arm 100 to move to the starting position of rolling. In this embodiment, the starting position is determined by the first camera 120, which further reduces the rolling defects caused by the position error of the vehicle body. For example, when rolling, the vehicle body carrier first stops the vehicle body at a stationary position, and the mechanical arm 100 drives the rolling head 200 to move to the stop edge of the door opening of the vehicle body. Then, the first camera 120 captures the characteristic points of the vehicle body, determines the specific position of the sealing strip, and feeds back the position compensation data to the controller of the mechanical arm 100. The mechanical arm 100 drives the rolling head 200 to clamp the sealing strip, and then runs according to a predetermined trajectory to complete the rolling of the sealing strip.

[0040] In some embodiments, the rolling device further includes a second camera 330, which is disposed on the third mounting plate 213, and the lens of the second camera 330 faces the rolling wheel 310 to obtain an image of the rolling wheel 310 rolling the sealing strip. In this embodiment, the rolling process can be monitored in real time by the second camera 330, so that unexpected situations can be discovered in time.
