[0047] The present invention is described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments. The following embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention in any form. It should be noted that, for those of ordinary skill in the art, several changes and improvements can also be made without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all belong to the protection scope of the present invention.

[0048] Example 1

[0049] According to the present invention, a grabbing and assembling tool for a component with a wiring harness plug is provided, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a connecting flange 1, a wiring harness plug clamp mounting plate 2, a connecting air port adapter 3, a clamp opening and closing limit plate 4, a wiring harness plug clamp driving cylinder 5, a wiring harness plug clamp left finger 6, a left replaceable finger end 7, a right replaceable finger end 8, a wiring harness plug clamp right finger 9, a component clamp left finger 10, a component height limit block 11, a component clamp right finger 12, a component clamp driving cylinder 13, a component clamp driving cylinder adapter plate 14, a component clamp slide drive cylinder 15, a component height limit block mounting plate 16, a component clamp slide mounting plate 17 and a component clamp slide adapter plate 18.

[0050] The harness plug clamp mounting plate 2 and the component clamp slide adapter plate 18 are both installed under the connecting flange 1. The harness plug clamp left finger 6 and the harness plug clamp right finger 9 are respectively installed on the two parallel moving fingers of the harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5. The harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5 is installed in front of the harness plug clamp mounting plate 2. The connecting air port adapter 3 is installed on the harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5. The harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5 is used to connect the air pipe joint through the connecting air port adapter 3 to connect the external control air path. The left replaceable finger end 7 is installed at the lower end of the harness plug clamp left finger 6, and the right replaceable finger end 8 is installed at the end of the harness plug clamp right finger 9; the left replaceable finger end 7 and the right replaceable finger end 8 are used to contact the harness end of the component with the harness plug and complete the grasping when the harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5 is closed. A clamp opening and closing limit plate 4 is installed on the left side of the harness plug clamp driving cylinder 5. When the wire harness plug clamp driving cylinder 5 fingers are opened, the distance between the left wire harness plug clamp finger 6 and the left replaceable finger end 7, and between the right replaceable finger end 8 and the right wire harness plug clamp finger 9 is limited by the clamp opening and closing limit plate 4. When the harness plug clamp driving cylinder 5 is opened, the fingers will not complete the stroke of the clamp driving cylinder itself, but will stop moving because the fingers are blocked by the clamp opening and closing limit plate 4, thereby controlling the actual opening and closing stroke to be less than the default stroke of the clamp driving cylinder.

[0051] The left finger 10 of the component gripper and the right finger 12 of the component gripper are respectively mounted on two parallel moving fingers of the component gripper drive cylinder 13; when the component gripper drive cylinder 13 is closed, the left finger 10 of the component gripper and the right finger 12 of the component gripper contact the non-wiring harness end of the component with the wiring harness plug and complete the grasping. The component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 is mounted in front of the component gripper slide mounting plate 17, and the component gripper slide mounting plate 17 is mounted on the right side of the component gripper slide adapter plate 18. The component gripper drive cylinder 13 is mounted in front of the component gripper drive cylinder adapter plate 14, and the component gripper drive cylinder adapter plate 14 is mounted in front of the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15, and the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 is mounted in front of the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15. A component height limit block 11 is installed below the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15, and a component height limit block mounting plate 16 is installed below the component gripper slide mounting plate 17. The component height limit block 11 is installed in front of the component height limit block mounting plate 16. The component height limit block 11 limits the displacement of the component gripper module in the height direction. The component height limit block mounting plate 16 provides height restriction when grabbing and assembling the non-wiring harness end of the component with a wiring harness plug.

[0052] More specifically, in this embodiment, the harness plug clamp driving cylinder 5 adopts the harness plug clamp cylinder, the component clamp driving cylinder 13 adopts the component clamp cylinder, and the component clamp slide driving cylinder 15 adopts the component clamp slide cylinder. The component clamp slide driving cylinder 15 drives the component clamp driving cylinder 13 to move, which mainly plays the role of adjusting the height of the two as needed during material collection and assembly, thereby achieving flexible process avoidance. When collecting materials, the robot moves downward with the entire tool, the component height limit block 11 hits the upper surface of the product, the adaptive robot senses the force and stops, and the component clamp driving cylinder 13 drives the fingers to grab; when assembling, the robot moves downward with the entire tool until it senses the force and stops, the component height limit block 11 hits the upper surface of the product to enable the parts to be reliably assembled, and the component clamp driving cylinder 13 drives the fingers to release. If the adaptive robot is not used, other mechanisms can be used to control a certain pressure until it can no longer be pressed down, which can also achieve a similar effect.

[0053] It should be noted that this tool can be used directly with the force control characteristics of the adaptive robot. The adaptive robot is a humanoid intelligent robot that deeply integrates industrial-grade force control computer vision, AI and other multiple technologies. It can complete complex tasks such as "hand-eye coordination" like humans and effectively adapt to complex and changing environments, thereby greatly enhancing the flexibility and productivity of the production process. It is a new generation of robots with high position error tolerance, strong anti-interference, and intelligent transferability. If an industrial robot or a collaborative robot is used, a force sensor can be used to make the tool press down to the bottom within a certain pressure range.

[0054] Example 2

[0055] The present invention also provides a method for picking up a material of a grabbing assembly tool for a component with a wiring harness plug in Embodiment 1, such as Figure 3(a) to Figure 3(e) As shown, the following steps are included:

[0056] Step A1, the grabbing assembly tool is moved to the top of the component product with the wiring harness plug, the wiring harness plug clamping claw driving cylinder 5 is opened, the component clamping claw slide driving cylinder 15 is moved to the upper limit position, and the component clamping claw driving cylinder 13 is opened;

[0057] Step A2, the grabbing assembly tool moves downward so that the wiring harness end of the component with the wiring harness plug is between the left replaceable finger end 7 and the right replaceable finger end 8 of the wiring harness plug clamping claw module, and the wiring harness plug clamping claw driving cylinder 5 is closed to complete the grabbing action of the wiring harness end of the component with the wiring harness plug;

[0058] Step A3, the component clamp slide drive cylinder 15 drives the component clamp drive cylinder 13 to move downward until the component height limit block 11 is aligned with the upper surface of the non-wiring harness end part of the component with the wiring harness plug, so that the non-wiring harness end part of the component with the wiring harness plug is located between the component clamp left finger 10 and the component clamp right finger 12 of the component clamp module pair, and the component clamp drive cylinder 13 is closed to complete the grabbing action of the non-wiring harness end part of the component with the wiring harness plug.

[0059] When the present application is in use, a grasping and assembly tool for components with wiring harness plugs is installed on the end of the robot. When picking up materials, the robot drives the grasping and assembly tool for components with wiring harness plugs to above the component products with wiring harness plugs in the material tray.

[0060] The harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5 is opened, the component clamp slide drive cylinder 15 is retracted and is at the upper limit, and the component clamp drive cylinder 13 is opened; the robot drives the tool downward, so that the harness plug is between the left replaceable finger end 7 and the right replaceable finger end 8, and the harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5 is closed. At this time, the harness end of the component with the harness plug is stably grasped.

[0061] The robot drives the tool's component gripper drive cylinder 13 to rise above the non-wiring harness end part of the component with the wiring harness plug. Since the cable is flexible, the appropriate movement path and position can allow the tool to stably grasp the plug without affecting the initial incoming position of this part. The component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 is pushed downward, driving the component gripper drive cylinder 13 to move downward, thereby avoiding mechanical interference when the plug and non-plug parts of the component with the wiring harness plug are fed from the same material tray. The robot drives the tool to move downward until the component height limit block 11 is aligned with the upper surface of the non-wiring harness end part of the component with the wiring harness plug. The non-wiring harness end part of the component with the wiring harness plug is located between the left finger 10 of the component gripper and the right finger 12 of the component gripper. Then the component gripper drive cylinder 13 is closed, so that the non-wiring harness end part of the component with the wiring harness plug can be stably grasped. At this time, the material collection of the component with the wiring harness plug is completed at the same end, and the connector and the non-wiring harness end part are stably grasped, and the height difference does not affect the material collection or the subsequent assembly.

[0062] More specifically, the clamping claws for the harness end and the clamping claws for the non-harness end mainly depend on the assembly position, the wire length and the interference requirements of the material picking position, and can be generally applied if the conditions are appropriate. If the wire length is reasonable, the slide cylinder stroke can be increased to avoid the clamping claws interfering with another part when grabbing a part of the product; after grabbing the joint, it can be moved high enough or far enough to meet the needs of grabbing and installing parts of different shapes.

[0063] Example 3

[0064] The present invention also provides an assembly method of a grabbing assembly tool for a component with a wiring harness plug in Embodiment 1, such as Figure 4(a) to Figure 4(c) As shown, the following steps are included:

[0065] Step B1, grab the assembly tool and move it to the assembly position, so that the component clamping claw driving cylinder 13 and the non-wiring harness end parts enter the assembly position for assembly, and open the component clamping claw driving cylinder 13 after the assembly is completed;

[0066] Step B2, the component clamp slide drive cylinder 15 is retracted, the harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5 and the harness plug enter the assembly position for assembly, and the harness plug clamp drive cylinder 5 is opened after the assembly is completed;

[0067] Step B3, grab the assembly tool and leave the assembly position.

[0068] When the present application is used, the grasping and assembly tool of the parts with the wiring harness plug is installed at the end of the robot. During assembly, the robot drives the tool and the parts with the wiring harness plug to the top of the assembly position. The robot moves downward, driving the parts clamping claw drive cylinder 13 and the non-wiring harness end parts to enter the assembly position. The parts height limit block 11 stably limits the height of the parts during assembly and directly transmits the downward assembly force. At this time, the wiring harness plug clamped by the left replaceable finger end 7 and the right replaceable finger end 8 is still stably grasped, and because of the height and position distance offset, it does not interfere with the installation part. Open the parts clamping claw drive cylinder 13, the parts clamping claw left finger 10 and the parts clamping claw right finger 12 are opened. The parts clamping claw slide drive cylinder 15 is retracted, and the tool is out of the assembly position. Subsequently, the robot drives the wiring harness plug clamping claw drive cylinder 5 and the wiring harness plug for assembly. After assembly, the left replaceable finger end 7 and the right replaceable finger end 8 are opened. The robot drives the grasping and assembly tool of the parts with the wiring harness plug to leave the assembly position.
