Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated gripping, and more specifically, to gripping and assembling tools and methods for picking up and assembling parts with wire harness plugs. Background Technology

This often necessitates an additional vision recognition system or other positioning fixtures at the installed end of the product for further positioning and picking. This not only increases cycle time but also costs. Furthermore, stable picking of the unattached end is technically challenging and results in poor stability. Summary of the Invention

[0047] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to specific embodiments. These embodiments will help those skilled in the art to further understand the present invention, but do not limit the invention in any way. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make several changes and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention. These all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
[0048] Example 1
[0049] According to the present invention, a gripping and assembly tool for components with wire harness plugs is provided, such as... Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a connecting flange 1, a wire harness plug gripper mounting plate 2, a connecting air port adapter 3, a gripper opening and closing limit plate 4, a wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5, a wire harness plug gripper left finger 6, a left replaceable finger tip 7, a right replaceable finger tip 8, a wire harness plug gripper right finger 9, a component gripper left finger 10, a component height limit block 11, a component gripper right finger 12, a component gripper drive cylinder 13, a component gripper drive cylinder adapter plate 14, a component gripper slide drive cylinder 15, a component height limit block mounting plate 16, a component gripper slide mounting plate 17, and a component gripper slide adapter plate 18.
[0050] Both the wire harness plug gripper mounting plate 2 and the component gripper slide adapter plate 18 are mounted under the connecting flange 1. The left finger 6 and right finger 9 of the wire harness plug gripper are respectively mounted on the two parallel moving fingers of the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5. The wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is mounted in front of the wire harness plug gripper mounting plate 2. The air port adapter 3 is mounted on the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5. The wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is used to connect to the air pipe connector and connect to the external control air circuit through the air port adapter 3. A left replaceable finger tip 7 is installed at the lower end of the left finger 6 of the wire harness plug gripper, and a right replaceable finger tip 8 is installed at the end of the right finger 9 of the wire harness plug gripper. The left replaceable finger tip 7 and the right replaceable finger tip 8 are used to contact the wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug when the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is closed, and complete the gripping. Furthermore, a gripper opening and closing limit plate 4 is installed on the left side of the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5. When the fingers of the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 are opened, the distance between the left finger 6 and the left replaceable finger tip 7 of the wire harness plug gripper, and between the right replaceable finger tip 8 and the right finger 9 of the wire harness plug gripper, is limited by the gripper opening and closing limit plate 4. When the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is opened, the fingers will not complete the stroke of the gripper drive cylinder itself, but will stop moving because the fingers are blocked by the gripper opening and closing limit plate 4, thereby controlling the actual opening and closing stroke to be less than the default stroke of the gripper drive cylinder.
[0051] The left finger 10 and right finger 12 of the component gripper are respectively mounted on the two parallel moving fingers of the component gripper drive cylinder 13. When the component gripper drive cylinder 13 is closed, the left finger 10 and right finger 12 of the component gripper contact the non-wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug and complete the gripping. The component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 is mounted in front of the component gripper slide mounting plate 17, which 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, which 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 limiting block 11 is mounted below the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15. A component height limiting block mounting plate 16 is mounted below the component gripper slide mounting plate 17, and the component height limiting block 11 is mounted in front of the component height limiting block mounting plate 16. The component height limiting block 11 limits the displacement of the component gripper module in the height direction. The component height limiting block mounting plate 16 provides height restriction when gripping and assembling the non-wire harness end of a component with a wire harness plug.
[0052] More specifically, in this embodiment, the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is a wire harness plug gripper cylinder, the component gripper drive cylinder 13 is a component gripper cylinder, and the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 is a component gripper slide cylinder. The main function of the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 driving the component gripper drive cylinder 13 is to adjust their heights as needed during material handling and assembly, thereby achieving flexible process avoidance. During material handling, the robot moves downwards with the entire tool, the component height limit block 11 presses against the upper surface of the product, the adaptive robot senses the force and stops, and the component gripper drive cylinder 13 drives the fingers to grasp the material. During assembly, the robot moves downwards with the entire tool until it senses the force and stops, the component height limit block 11 presses against the upper surface of the product to ensure reliable assembly, and the component gripper drive cylinder 13 drives the fingers to release the material. If an adaptive robot is not used, other mechanisms can be used to control a certain pressure until it cannot be pressed down further to achieve a similar effect.
[0053] It should be noted that this tool can be used directly in conjunction with the force control characteristics of adaptive robots. Adaptive robots are human-like and intelligent robots that deeply integrate industrial-grade force control, computer vision, AI, and other technologies. They can perform complex tasks such as "hand-eye coordination" like humans, effectively adapting to complex and changing environments. This significantly enhances the flexibility and productivity of the production process, and they are a new generation of robots characterized by high tolerance for positional errors, strong anti-interference capabilities, and intelligent portability. When using industrial robots or collaborative robots, force sensors can be used to ensure the tool is pressed down fully within a certain pressure range.
[0054] Example 2
[0055] The present invention also provides a method for picking up and assembling components with wire harness plugs using a gripping assembly tool as described in Embodiment 1, such as... Figures 3(a) to 3(e) As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0056] Step A1: The gripping assembly tool is moved above the component product with the wire harness plug, the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is opened, the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 is moved to the upper limit, and the component gripper drive cylinder 13 is opened.
[0057] Step A2: The gripping assembly tool moves downward so that the wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug is between the left replaceable finger 7 and the right replaceable finger 8 of the wire harness plug gripper module. The wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is closed to complete the gripping action of the wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug.
[0058] In step A3, the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 drives the component gripper drive cylinder 13 to move downwards until the component height limit block 11 is aligned with the upper surface of the non-wire harness end part of the component with the wire harness plug, so that the non-wire harness end part of the component with the wire harness plug is located between the left finger 10 and the right finger 12 of the component gripper module pair. Then, the component gripper drive cylinder 13 is closed to complete the gripping action of the non-wire harness end part of the component with the wire harness plug.
[0059] In use, the present application involves installing a gripping and assembly tool for parts with wire harness plugs at the end of a robot. When picking up materials, the robot moves the gripping and assembly tool for parts with wire harness plugs above the parts with wire harness plugs in the material tray.
[0060] The wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 opens, the component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 retracts to its upper limit position, and the component gripper drive cylinder 13 opens. The robot moves the tool downwards, positioning the wire harness plug between the left replaceable finger tip 7 and the right replaceable finger tip 8, closing the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5. At this point, the wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug is stably gripped.
[0061] The robot-driven tool's component gripper cylinder 13 rises above the non-wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug. Due to the flexibility of the cable, a suitable movement path and position allow the tool to stably grip the plug without affecting the initial feeding position of this part. The component gripper slide cylinder 15 pushes downward, driving the component gripper cylinder 13 downward, thus avoiding mechanical interference during material handling when the plug and non-plug parts of the component with the wire harness plug are fed into the same tray. The robot drives the tool downward until the component height limit block 11 is aligned with the upper surface of the non-wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug. This positions the non-wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug between the left finger 10 and the right finger 12 of the component gripper. Then, the component gripper cylinder 13 closes, stably gripping the non-wire harness end of the component with the wire harness plug. At this point, material handling of the component with the wire harness plug at the same end is completed. Both the connector and the non-wire harness end are stably gripped, and the height difference does not affect material handling or subsequent assembly.
[0062] More specifically, the choice between grippers holding the wire harness end and grippers holding the non-wire harness end depends primarily on the assembly position, wire length, and material handling requirements. Under suitable conditions, they are generally applicable. If the wire length is reasonable, the stroke of the slide cylinder can be increased to avoid interference between the grippers and another part of the product when gripping one part. After gripping the connector, the gripper can move a sufficiently high or long distance to accommodate the gripping and installation of components with different shapes.
[0063] Example 3
[0064] The present invention also provides an assembly method for a gripping and assembling tool for components with wire harness plugs as described in Embodiment 1, such as... Figures 4(a) to 4(c) As shown, it includes the following steps:
[0065] Step B1: Move the gripping assembly tool to the assembly position so that the component gripper drive cylinder 13 and the non-wire harness end parts enter the assembly position for assembly. After the assembly is completed, open the component gripper drive cylinder 13.
[0066] Step B2: The component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 retracts, the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 and the wire harness plug enter the assembly position for assembly, and after the assembly is completed, the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 is opened.
[0067] Step B3: Grab the assembly tool and remove it from the assembly position.
[0068] In use, this application involves mounting a gripping and assembly tool for components with wire harness plugs onto the end effector of a robot. During assembly, the robot moves the tool and the component with the wire harness plug above the assembly position. The robot moves downward, bringing the component gripper drive cylinder 13 and the non-wire harness end component into the assembly position. The component height limit block 11 stably limits the height of the component during assembly and directly transmits the downward assembly force. At this time, the wire harness plug held by the left replaceable finger tip 7 and the right replaceable finger tip 8 remains stably gripped, and due to the height and positional offset, it does not interfere with the installation part. The component gripper drive cylinder 13 is opened, and the left finger 10 and the right finger 12 of the component gripper open. The component gripper slide drive cylinder 15 retracts, and the tool disengages from the assembly position. Subsequently, the robot drives the wire harness plug gripper drive cylinder 5 and the wire harness plug for assembly. After assembly, the left replaceable finger tip 7 and the right replaceable finger tip 8 open. The robot then moves the gripping and assembly tool for components with wire harness plugs away from the assembly position.
