Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of automobile assembly, in particular to a transfer horizontal moving device and a using method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the vigorous development of the automobile industry, the automobile production is slowly expanding, and many OEMs need to expand the factory building or improve each link in the production process to further improve the production capacity. When the OEMs do not want to further expand the factory building area and the space in the workshop is limited, the straight layout of the assembly line cannot meet the number of workstations required for assembling vehicles, and the OEMs often need to transfer the vehicles to another assembly line for subsequent assembly.

[0003] In this transfer process, the main methods of each OEM are as follows: one is to move the vehicle in the assembly process from the air to the next workstation by a crown block to realize the extension of the assembly line, but this method can only be realized in the early stage of vehicle assembly. In the middle and late stages of assembly, the vehicle has a rudiment, and the weight and lifting point are difficult to realize this method. The other is to move to the next assembly line for assembly by turning the vehicle by itself. If there is no steering assistance and forward power when the vehicle is transferred, manpower needs to be increased to provide power for the vehicle, and the distance between the two assembly lines needs to meet the turning radius of the vehicle.

[0004] The Chinese patent document with publication number CN214691759U discloses a transfer system suitable for multi-model automobile body-in-white, which comprises a frame assembly, a lifting drive assembly, a vertical sliding frame assembly, a horizontal moving lifting device, a horizontal moving assembly and a horizontal moving drive assembly. The lifting drive assembly can drive the vertical sliding frame assembly to move vertically along the frame assembly. The vertical sliding frame assembly at least includes a horizontally arranged sliding frame. The horizontal moving drive assembly can drive the horizontal moving assembly to move horizontally along the sliding frame. The horizontal moving lifting device includes a lifting arm assembly and a lifting arm drive. The lifting arm assembly is movably connected with the horizontal moving assembly. The lifting arm drive can drive the lifting arm assembly to clamp and open. Multiple predetermined positions of the lifting arm assembly are provided with lifting device blocks for fixing the automobile body-in-white. The utility model can realize full-automatic flexible transfer under the size change of multi-width, length and height body-in-white, has the characteristics of high flexibility, high efficiency and easy realization of full automation. However, this scheme is not suitable for vehicles in the middle and late stages of assembly, because the body-in-white has been assembled in the middle and late stages of assembly, and the lifting arm assembly is no longer convenient to fix the body-in-white.

[0077] Embodiment 1

[0078] Referring to Figures 1-10 As shown in the drawings, the embodiments of the application provide a transfer and transverse moving device, comprising: a frame 1; a first moving device 2, the first moving device 2 being slidingly connected to the frame 1 along a first direction; a second moving device 3, the second moving device 3 being slidingly connected to the first moving device 2 along a second direction; a wheel clamping device 4, the number of the wheel clamping devices 4 matching the number of wheels of an assembled vehicle, the wheel clamping device 4 being connected to the second moving device 3 through a jacking device 5, and moving up and down under the drive of the jacking device 5; the upper end of the jacking device 5 being slidingly connected to the second moving device 2 along the first direction, and the lower end being connected to the wheel clamping device 4.

[0079] In the above embodiment, the first direction is the direction in which the vehicle is to be transversely moved, and is also the width direction of the vehicle, and the second direction is the length direction of the vehicle.

[0080] The frame 1 is a bearing mechanism of the application, which is enclosed by a plurality of columns and beams, has a rigidity satisfying the bearing of the weight of the vehicle, is fixed to the ground without deeply damaging the ground of the workshop, does not involve civil engineering, and minimizes the impact on production.

[0081] The number of wheel clamping devices 4 is the same as the number of wheels of the assembled vehicle, and is used to clamp the wheels. The jacking device 5 can not only drive the wheel clamping device 4 to move up and down, but also drive the wheel clamping device 4 to move along the first direction, i.e. the width direction of the vehicle, so as to adapt to vehicles of different widths. Through the movement of the second moving device 3 along the second direction, vehicles of different axial lengths can be adapted. After the jacking device 5 and the second moving device 3 are adjusted according to the length and width of the vehicle, the wheels are clamped by the wheel clamping device 4. Then, the vehicle is lifted by a certain distance by the jacking device 5. Finally, the assembled vehicle is transversely moved from the A assembly line to the B assembly line by sliding the first moving device 2 along the first direction on the frame 1, and the transverse movement of the whole vehicle is completed. The present application realizes the effect of extending the assembly line and increasing the workstations in a limited space. Meanwhile, the device has multiple degrees of freedom, and can meet the transfer of vehicles of different types.

[0082] Further, the first moving device 2 includes two first side arms 21 and two first end arms 22, and the two first side arms 21 and the two first end arms 22 are enclosed to form a square; the two first end arms 22 are respectively slidably connected to the two sides of the frame 1 along the first direction; the second moving device 3 includes two moving arms 31, and the two moving arms 31 are both arranged between the two first end arms 22, and the two ends of the two moving arms 31 are slidably connected to the two first side arms 21 along the second direction; and the upper end of at least one jacking device 5 is slidably connected to one of the two moving arms 31 along the first direction.

[0083] The present embodiment is described by taking a vehicle with four wheels as an example. It can be understood that the number of wheel clamping devices 4 is four, and the number of jacking devices 5 is also four, of which two are slidably connected to the two ends of one of the moving arms 31 along the first direction, and the other two are slidably connected to the two ends of the other moving arm 31 along the first direction.

[0084] Through the two jacking devices 5 moving along the first direction at the two ends of one of the moving arms 31, the width between the two front wheels of the vehicle is adapted. Through the two jacking devices 5 moving along the first direction at the two ends of the other moving arm 31, the width between the two rear wheels of the vehicle is adapted. Through the two moving arms 31 moving along the second direction on the first side arms 21, the distance between the front and rear wheels of the vehicle is adapted. Through the above arrangement, the clamping of the wheels in four directions, i.e. the front, rear, left and right directions, of the vehicle is realized. Then, the vehicle is lifted by a certain distance by the jacking device 5. Finally, the assembled vehicle is transversely moved from the A assembly line to the B assembly line by sliding the two first end arms 22 along the first direction on the two sides of the frame 1, and the transverse movement of the whole vehicle is completed.

[0085] Further, the two first end arms 22 are each slidably connected to the frame 1 by a first motor 23; the first motor 23 is fixed to the first moving device 2, and a transmission shaft of the first motor 23 is connected to a first pulley 24 arranged at a bottom of the first end arm 22 to drive the first pulley 24 to rotate; and upper portions of the two sides of the frame 1 are provided with first sliding rails 11 along a first direction for the first pulley 24 to slide.

[0086] Through the above arrangement, the two first end arms 22 are enabled to slide on the frame 1 along the first direction, that is, the entire vehicle is enabled to move laterally.

[0087] Further, the two moving arms 31 are identical in structure and each include two second side arms 311 and two second end arms 312; the two second side arms 311 and the two second end arms 312 are enclosed to form a square, and the two second end arms 312 are each slidably connected to the two first side arms 21 along a second direction; the jacking device 5 includes a sliding part 51 at an upper end and a jacking part 52 at a lower end, and the sliding part 51 and the jacking part 52 are connected vertically; the sliding part 51 passes through a space between the two second side arms 311 from bottom to top and is slidably connected to the two second side arms 311 at two ends along the first direction.

[0088] Through the two second end arms 312 being slidably connected to the two first side arms 21 along the second direction, the entire moving arm 31 is enabled to move to adapt to vehicles of different axial lengths; and through the two ends of the sliding part 51 being slidably connected to the two second side arms 311 along the first direction, the jacking device 5 is enabled to move along the first direction on the moving arm 31 to adapt to vehicles of different widths.

[0089] Further, the two second end arms 312 are each slidably connected to the two first side arms 21 by a second motor 32; the second motor 32 is fixed to the moving arm 31, and a transmission shaft of the second motor 32 is connected to a second pulley 33 arranged at a bottom of the second end arm 31 to drive the second pulley 33 to rotate; and upper portions of the two first side arms 21 are each provided with a second sliding rail 211 along the second direction for the second pulley 33 to slide.

[0090] Through the above arrangement, the moving arm 31 is enabled to slide on the first side arm 21 along the second direction.

[0091] Further, the sliding part 51 is slidably connected to the second side arm 311 through the first driving device 6; the first driving device comprises a first support base 61, a second support base 62, a third motor 63 and a first lead screw 64; the first support base 61 and the second support base 62 are both fixed on the second moving device 3 and arranged on both sides of the sliding part 51 along the first direction; the third motor 63 is fixed on the first support base 61; the first end of the first lead screw 64 is drivingly connected with the third motor 63 and rotates under the driving of the third motor 63; the second end of the first lead screw 64 is sequentially rotatably connected with the first support base 61, the middle part of the sliding part 51 and the second support base 62 and is internally screwed with the sliding part 51.

[0092] The two support bases support the two ends of the first lead screw 64 and provide support for the rotation of the first lead screw 64. The first end of the first lead screw 64 is connected with the third motor 63 through the shaft coupling 65, and the third motor 63 drives the first lead screw 64 to rotate through the shaft coupling 65. Since the first lead screw 64 is screwed with the middle part of the sliding part 51, the rotation of the first lead screw 64 drives the sliding part 51 to move along the first direction.

[0093] It can be understood that the first lead screw 64 is located at the middle position between the two second side arms 311 so as to realize the same moving speed of the two ends of the sliding part 51.

[0094] Further, the upper part of each of the two second side arms 311 is provided with a sliding block 314, and the bottom of each end of the sliding part 51 is provided with a third sliding groove 315 matched with the sliding block 314.

[0095] Further, the wheel clamping device 4 comprises a jacking arm 41, a connecting arm 42 and a wheel clamping part 43; the first end of the jacking arm 41 is connected to the upper end of the connecting arm 42, and the second end is slidably connected to the jacking part 52 through the second driving device 7; the wheel clamping part 43 is connected to the lower end of the connecting arm 42 and is used for clamping the wheel.

[0096] The upward and downward movement of the upper end of the jacking arm 41 drives the upward and downward movement of the lower end of the wheel clamping part 43, thereby realizing the lifting of the whole vehicle to a certain height.

[0097] Further, the bottom of the jacking part 52 is provided with a platform 53, and at least two vertical columns 54 are arranged at the edge of the platform 53; the second end of the jacking arm 41 is arranged in the space enclosed by the platform 53 and the vertical columns 54; the second driving device 7 comprises a fourth motor 71 and a second lead screw 72; the fourth motor 71 is fixed on the platform 53; the lower end of the second lead screw 72 is drivingly connected with the fourth motor 71 and rotates under the driving of the fourth motor 71; the upper end of the second lead screw 72 is screwed with the bottom of the second end of the jacking arm 41.

[0098] In this embodiment, the platform 53 is square, and a column 54 is arranged at each of the four vertices of the edge, and the platform 53 and the four columns 54 enclose a hollow square column, and the second end of the jacking arm 41 and the second driving device are arranged inside the column. Since the jacking part 52 at the lower end is square, the sliding part 51 at the upper end includes a first sliding arm 511 and a second sliding arm 512, the first sliding arm 511 and the second sliding arm 512 are respectively connected at the two ends of the upper part of the jacking part 52, the second end of the first lead screw 64 is sequentially rotatably connected to the first support base 61, the middle part of the first sliding arm 511, the middle part of the second sliding arm 512, and the second support base 62, and is internally screwed with the sliding part 51. The advantage of this arrangement is that the first lead screw 64 has more stable driving force for the jacking device 5.

[0099] Specifically, the fourth motor 71 is fixed on the platform 53 through a motor base 73, the motor base 73 is fixed on the platform 53, and the fourth motor 71 is installed on the motor base 73. The fourth motor 71 drives the second lead screw 72 to rotate, and since the upper end of the second lead screw 72 is screwed to the bottom of the second end of the jacking arm 41, the rotation of the second lead screw 72 drives the jacking arm 41 to move up and down, thereby realizing the overall upward movement of the wheel clamping device 4.

[0100] It can be understood that the length of the connecting arm 42 minus the lifting height is greater than the height of the highest vehicle produced to adapt to all vehicle types.

[0101] Further, the outer side of the second end of the jacking arm 41 is provided with a fourth sliding groove 44 which slides up and down along the column 54.

[0102] The fourth sliding groove 44 forms a sliding rail mechanism, and there are also four fourth sliding grooves 44 corresponding to the number of columns 54.

The shape is designed as a triangular pyramid, so as to have better adhesion to the wheel and better clamping of the wheel.

[0105] The clamping platform 431 is internally provided with a cavity, and two supporting arms 432 slide in the cavity along a second direction. The distance between the two supporting arms 432 can be adjusted by sliding the supporting arms 432, so as to adapt to the wheel radius of various types of vehicles. The relative movement of the two supporting arms 432 is limited by the insertion bolt 433.

[0118] It can be understood that the first threshold switch 83 and the second threshold switch 84 are electrically connected to the alarm circuit, and the first limit switch 85 and the second limit switch 86 are electrically connected to the power supply circuit of the fourth motor 71.

[0119] In order to control the displacement amount of the vehicle when it is lifted or lowered, and prevent accidents from occurring, the warning device 8 is arranged. When the fourth motor 71 drives the second lead screw 72 to rotate, the number plate 82 is also driven to move up and down, that is, the number plate 82 synchronously rises or falls with the vehicle.

[0120] Rising process: the number plate 82 is lifted from the middle position of the first threshold switch 83 and the second threshold switch 84, when the sensor monitors that the distance between the number plate 82 and the first threshold switch 83 reaches the first preset distance, the sensor transmits a signal to the first threshold switch 83, the first threshold switch 83 turns on the alarm circuit to issue an alarm to remind the operator that the displacement is about to reach the threshold; when the sensor monitors that the distance between the number plate 82 and the first limit switch 85 reaches the second preset distance, the sensor transmits a signal to the first limit switch 85, and the first limit switch 85 disconnects the power supply circuit of the fourth motor 71 to limit the jacking device 5 from continuing to rise.
