Specialized production lines had a series of problems, including large land area requirements, a single production mode, large investment in equipment and personnel, low equipment utilization, and increased costs. If other models were to be developed, a separate production line had to be set up in a different location, resulting in a waste of existing production line buildings, equipment, and other facilities. Summary of the Invention

[0047] Example

[0048] In this application, a segmented switching fixture system can be used to clamp and fix the side panel outer plate. It includes a turntable fixture 100, a front side fixture library 200, and a rear side fixture library 300. The turntable fixture 100 adopts a symmetrical structure, so that after the side panel outer plate is fixed on one side of the turntable fixture 100, the side panel outer plate can be welded, while the other side of the turntable fixture 100 can be used to install the side panel outer plate, thereby improving production efficiency. The front side fixture library 200 can provide the turntable fixture 100 with different types of front side fixtures, and the rear side fixture library 300 can provide the turntable fixture 100 with different types of rear side fixtures, realizing segmented switching of side panel fixture models and realizing a flexible co-line production mode for multiple models.

The first loading assembly 201 moves along a first direction to load the clamps on the front-side clamp assembly 202 onto the first fixing assembly 101 or the second fixing assembly 102; the rear-side clamp storage 300 includes a second loading assembly 301 and a rear-side clamp assembly 302, the rear-side clamp assembly 302 being disposed on one side of the turntable clamp 100, the second loading assembly 301 moving along a second direction to load the clamps on the rear-side clamp assembly 302 onto the first fixing assembly 101 or the second fixing assembly 102; wherein the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0050] For example, the first direction includes, but is not limited to, the left-right direction, the second direction includes, but is not limited to, the front-rear direction, the front-side clamping assembly 202 is spaced apart from the turntable clamping assembly 100, and the front-side clamping assembly 202 can provide at least one type of clamping for the turntable clamping assembly 100, the rear-side clamping assembly 302 is spaced apart from the turntable clamping assembly 100, and the rear-side clamping assembly 302 can provide at least one type of clamping for the turntable clamping assembly 100.

This allows the front-side clamping unit 202 to provide the front-side clamp to the first fixing unit 101 via the first loading unit 201, and the rear-side clamping unit 302 to provide the rear-side clamp to the first fixing unit 101 via the second loading unit 301. Then, the rotating unit 103 swaps the positions of the first fixing unit 101 and the second fixing unit 102. The front-side clamping unit 202 then provides the front-side clamp to the second fixing unit 102 via the first loading unit 201, and the rear-side clamping unit 302 provides the front-side clamp to the second fixing unit 102 via the second loading unit 301. 1 provides a clamp on the rear side of the second fixing component 102.

Then, the corresponding clamps are installed on the first fixing component 101 and the second fixing component 102 to complete the segmented switching. This realizes a flexible co-line production mode for multiple vehicle models, reduces investment costs, and has the characteristics of small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the diversified needs of products.

The first rear-side quick-connect device 1013 and the first rear-side fixing structure are respectively connected to the clamps of the rear-side clamp assembly 302.

[0055] For example, the first front-side quick-connect device 1012 and the first rear-side quick-connect device 1013 are both unique flexible mechanical devices that can compensate for positioning errors, mechanical errors, and other errors during the docking process. They also feature a modular, multi-mounting-surface design for more flexible configuration and omnidirectional floating performance in the X, Y, and Z directions, which can eliminate docking errors. In addition, they have LED visibility for docking / separation status and slave station number identification as standard, and an anti-jamming positioning pin structure, making locking and separation smoother and easier to adjust. The low-friction probe minimizes surface wear caused by high-frequency opening and closing.

[0056] In the above-mentioned process, the first common fixture 1011, the first front-side quick-connect device 1012, the first rear-side quick-connect device 1013, the first front-side fixing structure, and the first rear-side fixing structure are respectively fixed to the rotating component 103. The first common fixture 1011, as a common fixture, is always fixed to the rotating component 103. For fixtures that need to be replaced, the corresponding fixtures can be fixed by the first front-side fixing structure and the first rear-side fixing structure, and feedback information can be provided. After receiving the feedback information, the first front-side quick-connect device 1012 and the first rear-side quick-connect device 1013 are respectively connected to the corresponding fixtures, thereby completing the segmented switching of the fixtures and realizing a flexible co-line production mode for multiple models. This reduces investment costs and features a small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the demand for product diversification.

[0057] Please refer to again Figure 4 The first front-side fixing structure includes a first front-side support mechanism 1014, a first front-side fixing mechanism 1015, and a first front-side sensor 1016. The first front-side support mechanism 1014 and the first front-side fixing mechanism 1015 are respectively connected to the clamps of the front-side clamp assembly 202, and the first front-side sensor 1016 is used to sense the clamps.

[0058] For example, the first front-side support mechanism 1014 is mounted on the rotating base 1031 for precise positioning and support of the front-side clamp. After the first front-side sensor 1016 detects that the front-side clamp is in place, the control system automatically operates the first front-side fixing mechanism 1015 to clamp the front-side clamp, preventing it from shaking or shifting, and completing the installation of the front-side clamp.

[0059] In the above-mentioned process, the first front-side support mechanism 1014 is used to support and fix the fixture, and the first front-side fixing mechanism 1015 is used to position and fix the fixture. Then, the first front-side sensor 1016 senses the fixture and feeds back information. Subsequently, the first front-side quick-connect device 1012 receives the feedback information and connects with the fixture to complete the fixing of the fixture. The fixing method is simple and quick, which improves the fixture switching efficiency, realizes the flexible co-line production mode of multiple models, reduces investment costs, and has the characteristics of small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models.

The first rear-side support mechanism 1017 and the first rear-side fixing mechanism 1018 are respectively connected to the clamps of the rear-side clamp assembly 302, and the first rear-side sensor 1019 is used to sense the clamps.

[0061] For example, the first rear-side support mechanism 1017 is mounted on the rotating base 1031 for precise positioning and support of the rear-side clamp. After the first rear sensor detects that the rear-side clamp is in place, the control system automatically operates the first rear-side fixing mechanism 1018 to clamp the rear-side clamp, preventing it from shaking or shifting, and completing the installation of the rear-side clamp.

[0062] In the above-mentioned process, the first rear-side support mechanism 1017 is used to support and fix the fixture, and the first rear-side fixing mechanism 1018 is used to position and fix the fixture. Then, the first rear-side sensor 1019 senses the fixture and feeds back information. Subsequently, the first rear-side quick-connect device 1013 receives the feedback information and connects with the fixture to complete the fixing of the fixture. The fixing method is simple and quick, which improves the fixture switching efficiency, realizes the flexible co-line production mode of multiple models, reduces investment costs, and has the characteristics of small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the diversified needs of products.

[0063] Please refer to again Figure 4The second fixing component 102 includes a second common clamp 1021, a second front-side quick-connect device 1022, a second rear-side quick-connect device 1023, a second front-side fixing structure, and a second rear-side fixing structure. The second common clamp 1021 is disposed between the second front-side quick-connect device 1022 and the second rear-side quick-connect device 1023. The second front-side quick-connect device 1022 and the second front-side fixing structure are respectively connected to the clamps of the front-side clamp assembly 202, and the second rear-side quick-connect device 1023 and the second rear-side fixing structure are respectively connected to the clamps of the rear-side clamp assembly 302.

[0064] For example, the second front-side quick-connect device 1022 and the second rear-side quick-connect device 1023 are both unique flexible mechanical devices that can compensate for positioning errors, mechanical errors, and other errors during the docking process. They also feature a modular, multi-mounting-surface design for more flexible configuration and omnidirectional floating performance in the X, Y, and Z directions, which can eliminate docking errors. In addition, they have LED visibility for docking / separation status and slave station number identification as standard, and an anti-jamming positioning pin structure, making locking and separation smoother and easier to adjust. The low-friction probe minimizes surface wear caused by high-frequency opening and closing.

[0065] In the above-mentioned process, the second common fixture 1021, the second front-side quick-connect device 1022, the second rear-side quick-connect device 1023, the second front-side fixing structure, and the second rear-side fixing structure are respectively fixed to the rotating component 103. The second common fixture 1021, as a common fixture, is always fixed to the rotating component 103. For fixtures that need to be replaced, the corresponding fixtures can be fixed by the second front-side fixing structure and the second rear-side fixing structure, and feedback information can be provided. After receiving the feedback information, the second front-side quick-connect device 1022 and the second rear-side quick-connect device 1023 are respectively connected to the corresponding fixtures, thereby completing the segmented switching of the fixtures and realizing a flexible co-line production mode for multiple models. This reduces investment costs and features a small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the demand for product diversification.

[0066] In some embodiments, the second front-side fixing structure includes a second front-side support mechanism 1024, a second front-side fixing mechanism 1025, and a second front-side sensor 1026. The second front-side support mechanism 1024 and the second front-side fixing mechanism 1025 are respectively connected to the clamps of the front-side clamp assembly 202, and the second front-side sensor 1026 is used to sense the clamps.

[0067] For example, the second front-side support mechanism 1024 is mounted on the rotating base 1031 for precise positioning and support of the front-side clamp. After the second front-side sensor 1026 detects that the front-side clamp is in place, the control system automatically operates the second front-side fixing mechanism 1025 to clamp the front-side clamp, preventing it from shaking or shifting, and completing the installation of the front-side clamp.

[0068] In the above-mentioned process, the second front-side support mechanism 1024 is used to support and fix the fixture, and the second front-side fixing mechanism 1025 is used to position and fix the fixture. Through the cooperation of the second front-side support mechanism 1024 and the second front-side fixing mechanism 1025, it can prevent slippage. Then, the second front-side sensor 1026 senses the fixture and feeds back information. After receiving the feedback information, the second front-side quick-connect device 1022 connects to the fixture to complete the fixing of the fixture. The fixing method is simple and quick, which improves the fixture switching efficiency, realizes the flexible co-line production mode of multiple models, reduces investment costs, and has the characteristics of small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the diversified needs of products.

[0069] In some embodiments, the second rear-side fixing structure includes a second rear-side support mechanism 1027, a second rear-side fixing mechanism 1028, and a second rear-side sensor 1029. The second rear-side support mechanism 1027 and the second rear-side fixing mechanism 1028 are respectively connected to the clamps of the rear-side clamp assembly 302, and the second rear-side sensor 1029 is used to sense the clamps.

[0070] For example, the second rear-side support mechanism 1027 is mounted on the rotating base 1031 for precise positioning and support of the rear-side clamp. After the second rear sensor detects that the rear-side clamp is in place, the control system automatically operates the second rear-side fixing mechanism 1028 to clamp the rear-side clamp, preventing it from shaking or shifting, and completing the installation of the rear-side clamp.

[0071] In the above-mentioned process, the second rear-side support mechanism 1027 is used to support and fix the fixture, and the second rear-side fixing mechanism 1028 is used to position and fix the fixture. Through the cooperation of the second rear-side support mechanism 1027 and the second rear-side fixing mechanism 1028, it can prevent the fixture from sliding. Then, the second rear-side sensor 1029 senses the fixture and feeds back information. After receiving the feedback information, the second rear-side quick-connect device 1023 connects to the fixture to complete the fixing of the fixture. The fixing method is simple and quick, which improves the fixture switching efficiency, realizes the flexible co-line production mode of multiple models, reduces investment costs, and has the characteristics of small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the diversified needs of products.

[0072] like Figures 5-6 As shown, the front-side clamp assembly 202 includes a plurality of spaced-apart front-side clamp devices. Each front-side clamp device is adapted to a type of vehicle model. The front-side clamp device includes a front-side placement structure, a front-side clamp structure 2025, and a front-side clamp gripper. The front-side placement structure is connected to the front-side clamp structure 2025. The front-side clamp gripper is connected to the front-side clamp and the first loading assembly 201, respectively, so as to place the front-side clamp structure 2025 on the front-side placement structure, the first fixing assembly 101, or the second fixing assembly 102.

[0073] Taking the first fixing component 101 as an example, the front-side clamp structure 2025 is placed on the rear-side placement structure. When the clamp of the first fixing component 101 needs to be replaced, the second front-side quick-release device 1022 is released, and the front-side fixing mechanism 1025 moves to the open state, making the front-side clamp structure 2025 removable. The front-side clamp gripper on the first loading component 201 hooks the front-side hook mechanism 2027 on the front-side clamp structure 2025 of the first fixing component 101, and the front-side clamp gripper on the first loading component 201 places the front-side fixing mechanism 1025 on the front-side placement bracket 2021 at the corresponding front-side clamp component 202 on the second front-side support mechanism 1024 and the second front-side fixing mechanism 1025. After the fixing mechanism 1025 cooperates and the second front-side sensor 1026 senses that the front-side clamping structure 2025 is in place, the front-side clamping gripper on the first loading assembly 201 moves downward, disengaging using the front-side hook mechanism 2027. The rear-side clamping gripper rotates to avoid the front-side hook mechanism 2027 on the front-side clamping structure 2025, and the front-side clamping gripper moves upward, completing the disengagement of the front-side hook mechanism 2027 from the front-side clamping gripper. The first loading assembly 201 moves to the side of the front-side clamping structure 2025 at the front-side clamping assembly 202, and the front-side clamping gripper on the first loading assembly 201 hooks the front-side hook mechanism 2027 on the front-side clamping structure 2025 at the front-side clamping assembly 202. The front-side clamp gripper on the first loading assembly 201 places the front-side clamp structure 2025 of the front-side clamp assembly 202 onto the front-side position of the corresponding first fixing assembly 101. Finally, the front-side clamp structure 2025 engages with the first front-side support mechanism 1014 and the first front-side fixing mechanism 1016. After the first front-side sensor 1016 senses the front-side clamp structure 2025 in place, the first front-side fixing mechanism 1015 moves to the closed state, fixing the front-side clamp structure 2025. The first front-side quick-connect device 1012 provides communication and power. Subsequently, the front-side clamp gripper on the first fixing component 101 moves downward, disengaging using the front-side hook mechanism 2027. The front-side clamp gripper is then rotated to avoid the front-side hook mechanism 2027 on the front-side clamp structure 2025, causing the front-side clamp gripper to move upward and disengage from the front-side hook mechanism 2027. The first fixing component 101 returns to its original position, completing the replacement of the front-side clamp structure 2025.

[0074] In the above implementation process, a front-side clamping device can be adapted to a type of vehicle model, and the front-side clamping structure 2025 is placed on the front-side placement structure. The front-side clamping gripper is connected to the front-side clamping structure 2025, so that the first loading component 201 can use the front-side clamping gripper to install the front-side clamping structure 2025 on the front-side placement structure, the first fixing component 101 or the second fixing component 102, thereby realizing the replacement of the front-side clamping structure 2025, improving the switching efficiency of the front-side clamping structure 2025, realizing a flexible co-line production mode for multiple vehicle models, reducing investment costs, and having the characteristics of small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the demand for product diversification.

[0075] like Figure 6 As shown, the front-side placement structure includes a front-side placement frame 2021, a front-side clamp positioning block 2022, a front-side clamp positioning pin 2023, and a front-side clamp sensor 2024. The front-side clamp positioning block 2022, the front-side clamp positioning pin 2023, and the front-side clamp sensor 2024 are disposed on the front-side placement frame 2021.

[0076] For example, under the same type of clamp, the distribution positions of the front-side clamp positioning block 2022, the front-side clamp positioning pin 2023, and the front-side clamp sensor 2024 on the front-side placement rack 2021 are consistent with the distribution positions of the first front-side support mechanism 1014 and the first front-side sensor 1016 on the rotating base 1031.

[0077] In the above implementation process, the front-side clamp positioning block 2022 and the front-side clamp positioning pin 2023 are respectively connected to the front-side placement frame 2021, which can be used to position and fix the front-side clamp structure 2025 to prevent it from sliding. The front-side clamp sensor 2024 is used to sense whether the front-side clamp structure 2025 is fixed in place and to provide feedback information, so as to facilitate the first loading component 201 to grasp and transport the front-side clamp gripper, improve the replacement efficiency of the front-side clamp structure 2025, reduce the input of manpower, ensure the stability of the front-side clamp structure 2025, and improve production efficiency.

[0078] like Figure 5 As shown, the front-side clamp gripper is located above the front-side clamp. The front-side clamp gripper includes a front-side clamp gripper body 2026, a front-side hook mechanism 2027, and a front-side connecting mechanism 2028. The front-side hook mechanism 2027 (which can be used to hook the front-side clamp) and the front-side connecting mechanism 2028 are respectively connected to the front-side clamp gripper body 2026.

[0079] In the above-mentioned process, the front-side hook mechanism 2027 and the front-side connecting mechanism 2028 are respectively connected to the front-side clamp gripper body 2026. The first loading component 201 can be connected to the front-side clamp structure 2025 through the front-side hook mechanism 2027. The front-side connecting mechanism 2028 can fix the front-side clamp gripper body 2026 to the first loading component 201, thereby realizing the gripping and transportation of the front-side clamp mechanism by the first loading component 201, improving the replacement efficiency of the front-side clamp structure 2025, reducing the input of manpower, and improving production efficiency.

[0080] Please refer to again Figures 5-6 The rear-side clamp assembly 302 includes a plurality of spaced-apart rear-side clamp devices. Each rear-side clamp device is adapted to a type of vehicle model. The rear-side clamp device includes a rear-side placement structure, a rear-side clamp structure 3025, and a rear-side clamp gripper. The rear-side placement structure is connected to the rear-side clamp structure 3025. The rear-side clamp gripper is connected to the rear-side clamp and the second loading assembly 301, respectively, so as to place the rear-side clamp structure 3025 on the rear-side placement structure, the first fixing assembly 101, or the second fixing assembly 102.

[0081] Taking the first fixing component 101 as an example, the rear-side clamp structure 3025 is placed on the rear-side placement structure. When the clamp of the first fixing component 101 needs to be replaced, the first rear-side quick-connect device 1013 is released, and the first rear-side fixing mechanism 1018 moves to the open state, making the rear-side clamp structure 3025 removable. The rear-side clamp gripper on the second loading component 301 hooks the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 on the rear-side clamp structure 3025 of the first fixing component 101, and the rear-side clamp gripper on the second loading component 301 places the rear-side clamp structure 3025 on the first fixing component 101 onto the second rear-side support mechanism 1027 and the second rear-side fixing mechanism 1027 on the rear-side placement bracket 3021 at the corresponding rear-side clamp component 302. Mechanism 1028 cooperates, and subsequently, after the second rear-side sensor 1029 senses that the front-side clamp structure 2025 is in place, the rear-side clamp gripper on the second loading assembly 301 moves downward, using the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 to disengage. The rear-side clamp gripper rotates to avoid the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 on the rear-side clamp structure 3025, and the rear-side clamp gripper moves upward, completing the disengagement of the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 from the rear-side clamp gripper. The second loading assembly 301 moves to the rear-side clamp structure 3025 at the rear-side clamp assembly 302, and uses the rear-side clamp gripper on the second loading assembly 301 to hook the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 on the rear-side clamp structure 3025 at the rear-side clamp assembly 302. The rear-side clamp gripper on the second loading assembly 301 places the rear-side clamp structure 3025 of the rear-side clamp assembly 302 onto the corresponding rear-side position of the first fixing assembly 101. Finally, the rear-side clamp structure 3025 engages with the first rear-side support mechanism 1017 and the first rear-side fixing mechanism 1018. After the first rear-side sensor 1019 senses the rear-side clamp structure 3025 in place, the first rear-side fixing mechanism 1018 moves to the closed state, fixing the rear-side clamp structure 3025. The first rear-side quick-connect device 1013 connects for communication and power supply. Subsequently, the rear-side clamp gripper on the second loading assembly 301 moves downward, disengaging using the rear-side hook mechanism 3027. The rear-side clamp gripper rotates to avoid the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 on the rear-side clamp structure 3025, and then moves upward, disengaging the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 from the rear-side clamp gripper. The second loading assembly 301 returns to its original position, completing the replacement of the rear-side clamp structure 3025.

[0082] In the above implementation process, a rear-side clamping device can be adapted to a type of vehicle model, and the rear-side clamping structure 3025 is placed on the rear-side placement structure. The rear-side clamping gripper is connected to the rear-side clamping structure 3025, so that the second loading component 301 can use the rear-side clamping gripper to install the rear-side clamping structure 3025 on the rear-side placement structure, the first fixing component 101 or the second fixing component 102, thereby realizing the replacement of the rear-side clamping structure 3025, improving the switching efficiency of the rear-side clamping structure 3025, realizing a flexible co-line production mode for multiple models, reducing investment costs, and having the characteristics of small footprint, short production line transformation time, and simple debugging of new models. It meets the scale and efficiency requirements of automobile production and ensures the demand for product diversification.

[0083] In some embodiments, the rear-side placement structure includes a rear-side placement rack 3021, a rear-side clamp positioning block 3022, a rear-side clamp positioning pin 3023, and a rear-side clamp sensor 3024, wherein the rear-side clamp positioning block 3022, the rear-side clamp positioning pin 3023, and the rear-side clamp sensor 3024 are disposed on the rear-side placement rack 3021.

[0084] For example, under the same type of clamp, the distribution positions of the rear-side clamp positioning block 3022, the rear-side clamp positioning pin 3023, and the rear-side clamp sensor 3024 on the rear-side placement rack 3021 are consistent with the distribution positions of the first rear-side support mechanism 1017 and the first rear-side sensor 1019 on the rotating base 1031.

[0085] In the above implementation process, the rear-side clamp positioning block 3022 and the rear-side clamp positioning pin 3023 are respectively connected to the rear-side placement frame 3021, which can be used to position and fix the rear-side clamp structure 3025 to prevent it from sliding. The rear-side clamp sensor 3024 is used to sense whether the rear-side clamp structure 3025 is fixed in place and to provide feedback information, so as to facilitate the second loading component 301 to grasp and transport the rear-side clamp gripper, improve the replacement efficiency of the rear-side clamp structure 3025, reduce the input of manpower, ensure the stability of the rear-side clamp structure 3025, and improve production efficiency.

The rear-side hook mechanism 3027 (which can be used to hook the rear-side clamp) and the rear-side connecting mechanism 3028 are respectively connected to the rear-side clamp gripper body 3026.

[0087] In the above process, the rear-side hook mechanism 3027 and the rear-side connecting mechanism 3028 are respectively connected to the rear-side clamp gripper body 3026. The second loading component 301 can be connected to the rear-side clamp structure 3025 through the rear-side hook mechanism 3027. The rear-side connecting mechanism 3028 can fix the rear-side clamp gripper body 3026 to the second loading component 301, thus realizing the second loading component 301 to grasp and transport the rear-side clamp mechanism, improving the replacement efficiency of the rear-side clamp structure 3025, reducing the input of manpower, and improving production efficiency.
