Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a railway freight car underframe manufacturing device, in particular to a railway freight car underframe bidirectional automatic clamping device and an underframe manufacturing process. Background Art
[0002] Railway freight cars are important railway freight vehicles in my country. Railway freight cars are mainly divided into open cars, flat cars, tank cars, and covered cars. All types of railway freight cars contain chassis. Therefore, the manufacture of chassis is an important part of railway freight car manufacturing. The typical structure of the chassis is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown in the figure, they are open wagon underframe and flat wagon underframe, and their underframes are mainly composed of middle beam, side beam, end beam, cross beam, etc. The structure of tank wagon underframe and covered wagon underframe is similar to that of open wagon underframe.
[0003] The manufacture of the chassis is the process of assembling, welding, and correcting the deformation of the beams. The chassis has many accessories. After some accessories are assembled on the special tooling, the welds of these accessories must be welded before other accessories can be assembled. Otherwise, the welds of the accessories assembled later will cover the welds, making it impossible to weld the welds of the accessories assembled in the previous process. In order to ensure the strength of the welds, the welds of the accessories of the chassis must be welded in a flat position, which requires that the welds of the accessories of the chassis must be welded in a flat position during the manufacturing process. Figure 3 , Figure 4 The chassis center beam is shown clamped and flipped.
[0004] In the past, chassis manufacturing was to set up a certain area of manufacturing area in the factory, and place various assembly stations and welding stations according to a certain process flow. After the processing and manufacturing at each station was completed, an overhead crane was used to transfer the order. The entire process was a manual process with low efficiency and high cost. The manufacturing process could not adapt to the automated production line; the existing chassis clamping and flipping technology could not adapt to the automatic clamping of the chassis; the existing chassis clamping and flipping technology could not adapt to the bidirectional clamping of the chassis, making the manufacturing process wasteful and not lean. In order to improve the automation of the chassis manufacturing process, reduce labor intensity, improve efficiency, save costs, and realize the digital manufacturing production line of the chassis with human-machine collaboration, it is necessary to develop new process flows for chassis manufacturing and new chassis clamping and flipping technologies. Summary of the invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0058] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood by those skilled in the art that these embodiments are only used to explain the technical principles of the present invention and are not intended to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0059] The present invention provides a railway freight car chassis manufacturing process, the process flow includes the following steps:
[0060] Chassis assembly process → chassis front automatic welding process → chassis flip automatic welding process → chassis cover assembly and welding process → chassis floor assembly process → chassis back automatic welding process → chassis floor back automatic welding process → chassis flip manual welding process → chassis floor front automatic welding process → chassis correction process.
[0061] The chassis manufacturing process is carried out at chassis processing station 3, and the RGV process vehicle automatically transfers the sequence. Each time the sequence is transferred, the process vehicle supports the chassis to automatically walk the distance set by the program.
[0062] Step 1: Chassis assembly and chassis front automatic welding process
[0063] After the beams of the chassis are assembled, the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 walks the distance set by the program and sends the chassis to the automatic welding process on the front side of the chassis. The chassis at this station is supported by the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 and placed horizontally at 0°. The robot welding devices 4 on both sides of the station weld the welds in the flat position of the chassis. After welding, the robot welding device 4 is reset.
[0064] Step 2: Automatic welding process of chassis flipping
[0065] like Figure 5As shown, the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 automatically travels a set distance to reach the chassis flip automatic welding station, and the crossbeams of the gantry flip devices 2 (the flip gantry is a fixed position) at both ends of this station move downward by a set distance; the electric control cylinder 8 receives the signal and pushes out the cylinder head, and the head drives the self-locking pin 13 to move downward in the pin groove of the clamping hook mounting seat 14, driving the self-locking rod 12 to move, pushing the clamping hook 10 from the top of the chassis to clamp the chassis middle beam downward. After the clamping hook 10 clamps the chassis middle beam, the locking cylinder 9 pushes out the gear rod to block the clamping hook 10 so that it cannot rotate, as shown in FIG. Figure 6 shown.
[0066] The flip gantry beam 6 at both ends of the station moves the chassis upward by a set distance, the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 walks to both ends of the station by a set distance (making room for the chassis to flip), the flip motor on the flip gantry beam 6 automatically flips 90° under program control, and then the robot welding devices 4 on both sides of the station weld the flat position weld of the chassis at 90°. Then it automatically flips 180° (at this time, the chassis is 270°), and the robot welding devices 4 on both sides of the station weld the flat position weld of the chassis at this time. After welding is completed, the chassis is automatically flipped to a horizontal 0°, the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 at both ends of the station walks to the middle to the initial position, and after the flip gantry beam 6 moves downward by a set distance, the lock gear cylinder 9 resets, driving the gear lever to reset, and the electric control cylinder 8 resets after receiving the signal, driving the self-locking pin 13 to move upward in the pin groove, so that the clamping hook 10 rotates and releases, and the chassis falls on the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1, and then the flip gantry beam 6 resets and rises.
[0067] Step 3: Assembly and welding of chassis cover
[0068] The RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 travels a set distance to deliver the chassis to the cover plate assembly and welding station. The chassis at this station is placed horizontally at 0° and supported by the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 to complete the assembly and welding of the cover plate.
[0069] Step 4: Assembly of chassis floor
[0070] RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 travels a set distance to reach the floor assembly station. The base frame of this station is also in a horizontal 0° position and is supported by RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 to complete the assembly of the base frame floor (the flat car is the cover and rainproof board).
[0071] Step 5: Automatic welding process on the back of the chassis
[0072] The RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 travels a set distance to deliver the chassis to the automatic welding station on the back of the chassis. At the automatic welding station on the back of the chassis (the floor of the open car chassis has been assembled at this time, and the clamping device cannot clamp the middle beam from top to bottom), the flip gantry beams 6 at both ends move downward a set distance, so that the upper plane of the flip gantry beams 6 is lower than the lower plane of the chassis middle beam, and then the gantry flipping devices 2 at both ends travel a set distance toward the middle of the chassis (the gantry beam is below the chassis at this time), and the flip gantry beams 6 move upward a set distance. Figure 8 As shown, the electronically controlled oil cylinder 8 receives the signal and pushes out the oil cylinder head, which drives the self-locking pin 13 to move upward in the pin groove of the clamping hook mounting seat, drives the self-locking rod 12 to move, and pushes the clamping hook 10 to clamp the center beam of the chassis from the bottom of the chassis upward. After the clamping hook 10 clamps the center beam of the chassis, the locking cylinder 9 pushes out the shift rod to block the clamping hook 10 and prevent it from rotating.
[0073] For the flat car frame, this station completes the clamping of the frame center beam according to step 2.
[0074] The flip gantry beams 6 at both ends move the chassis upwards a set distance, the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 walks a set distance to both ends of the workstation (to make room for the chassis to flip), and the flip motor on the gantry flip device 2 automatically flips to 180° (the bottom of the chassis faces upward) under program control for robot automatic welding.
[0075] After this process is completed, the chassis remains facing up (180°), the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 at both ends of the workstation moves to the middle to the initial position, and after the flip gantry beam 6 moves downward by a set distance, the lock cylinder 9 is reset, driving the gear lever to reset, and the electric control cylinder 8 is reset after receiving the signal, driving the self-locking pin 13 to move upward in the pin groove, so that the clamping hook 10 is rotated and released, and the chassis falls on the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1, and then the flip gantry beam 6 is reset and raised, and the gantry flipping device 2 moves to both ends and resets.
[0076] Step 6: Automatic welding process of the back side of the chassis floor
[0077] The RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 delivers the chassis to the welding station on the reverse side of the chassis floor (the bottom of the chassis faces upward at this time), and the robot automatic welding of the weld on the reverse side of the floor is completed by the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1.
[0078] Step 7: Manual welding process of chassis flipping
[0079] RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 delivers the chassis to the chassis flip manual welding station, and completes the chassis middle beam clamping according to step 2. Fig. 9As shown, the chassis is flipped, and the welds that the robot did not weld are manually welded. After the manual welding is completed, the chassis is flipped to face up (0°), and the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 at both ends of the station moves to the middle to the initial position. After the flip gantry beam 6 moves downward by a set distance, the lock cylinder 9 is reset, driving the gear lever to reset, and the electric control cylinder 8 is reset after receiving the signal, driving the self-locking pin 13 to move downward in the pin groove, so that the clamping hook 10 rotates and releases, and the chassis falls on the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1, and then the gantry flip device 2 moves to both ends to reset, and the flip gantry beam 6 is raised and reset again.
[0080] Step 8: Automatic welding process of the front side of the chassis floor
[0081] The RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 delivers the chassis to the automatic welding station on the front side of the chassis, and the chassis at this station is supported by the RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 to complete the welding.
[0082] Step 9: Chassis calibration process
[0083] The RGV automatic flow process vehicle 1 delivers the chassis to the chassis correction station to complete the manufacturing of the chassis.
[0084] like Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 As shown, the present invention also proposes a two-way automatic clamping device for the chassis, which specifically includes: a flip clamp base 7, an electric control cylinder 8, a locking cylinder 9, a clamping hook 10, a chassis 11, a self-locking rod 12, a self-locking pin 13, and a clamping hook mounting seat 14. The clamping hooks 10 of the two-way automatic clamping device for the chassis are arranged on both sides, and a space is reserved in the middle of the clamping hook mounting seat 14 to accommodate the middle beam, so as to realize automatic clamping of the middle beam of the open car in both the forward and reverse directions, so as to make the automatic manufacturing process of the chassis efficient and safe.
[0085] An electric control oil cylinder 8 and a clamping hook mounting seat 14 are installed on the flip chuck base 7, and two clamping hooks 10 are installed between the two clamping hook mounting seats 14. The clamping hook 10 and the clamping hook mounting seat 14 are connected by a round pin. The clamping hook 10 is connected to the self-locking rod 12 through the round pin. The other end of the self-locking rod 12 is connected to the top of the electric control oil cylinder 8 through the self-locking pin 13, and the self-locking pin 13 is connected to the pin groove of the clamping hook mounting seat 14. Under the action of the electric control oil cylinder 8, the self-locking pin 13 can move up and down in the pin groove to realize self-locking after the clamping hook 10 is clamped to the middle beam. Figure 6 A locking cylinder 9 is installed on the flip clamp base 7. After the clamping hook 10 locks the center beam of the chassis, the locking cylinder 9 pushes out the shift rod, which penetrates into the pin holes of the two clamping hook mounting seats 14 to block the clamping hook 10. Even if the self-locking function of the clamping hook 10 fails, the clamping hook 10 cannot rotate to prevent the clamping hook from accidentally opening. This makes the chassis automated manufacturing process efficient and safe.
[0086] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or replace some or all of the technical features therein with equivalents. However, these modifications or replacements do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the present invention.
