Two relatively arranged positioning cylinders are installed on the upper side of the second slide seat, and the telescopic ends of the two positioning cylinders are fixedly connected to clamps, and a material sensor is also provided on one side of the second slide seat;
[0026] The assembly device is also equipped with a transfer conveyor line, on which a plurality of carriers are placed, and the carriers are used to load the assembled terminal board components. A plurality of loading and unloading machines 13 are installed at one end of the support frame away from the transfer conveyor line, and the loading and unloading machines 13 are used to provide a material box containing terminal board assembly components. A robot slide fixedly connected to the support frame is arranged between the three-axis locking rack 1201 and the loading and unloading machines 13, and a six-axis linkage robot with a gripper is arranged on the robot slide, and the six-axis linkage robot is used to grab assembly parts, and the robot slide is equipped with a drive motor for driving the six-axis linkage robot to move horizontally;
[0027] The assembly device is also equipped with a high-definition vision system, which is used to assist in the assembly of the inverter terminal board.
[0028] As a preferred embodiment of the present embodiment, the loading and unloading machine 13 includes a material box elevator 131 and a profile frame 132 arranged on the outside of the support frame. An electric roller docking platform 133 is installed on the lifting platform of the material box elevator 131. An upper conveyor line 134 and a lower conveyor line 135 are provided on the profile frame 132. When the electric roller docking platform 133 moves to the top, it faces the upper conveyor line 134. When the electric roller docking platform 133 moves to the bottom, it faces the lower conveyor line 135. In the present embodiment, the upper conveyor line 134 and the lower conveyor line 135 are both electric roller conveyor lines.
[0029] The assembly process of the inverter terminal board assembly device of the present invention is as follows:
[0030] First, the material box containing the terminal board assembly parts is placed on the lower conveyor line 135 of the loading and unloading machine 13 through the AGV, and the material box enters the electric roller docking platform 133 through the lower conveyor line 135. Then, the lifting platform and the electric roller docking platform 133 are lifted by the lifting action of the material box elevator 131, so that the material box is moved to the upper part, so that the six-axis linkage robot can grab the parts in the material box. After the parts in the material box are grabbed, the electric roller on the electric roller docking platform 133 rotates in the opposite direction to move the empty material box to the upper conveyor line 134, and then the AGV takes the empty material box from the upper conveyor line 134.
[0031] The terminal board is clamped and fixed using the terminal board positioning mechanism 122, and then the terminal board is grabbed by the six-axis linkage robot. Assuming that the robot's claws clamp the front and rear sides of the terminal board, the claws of the six-axis linkage robot and the grabbed terminal board are extended into the installation frame 1223, and then the second adjustment motor 1238 is started to drive the active wheel 1239 to rotate. The active wheel 1239 drives the second bidirectional threaded rod 1236 on the rear side to rotate through the third belt and the passive wheel 1237. The second limit block 1234 is threadedly connected to the second bidirectional threaded rod 1236. Due to the limiting effect of the second limiting rail 1233, the end clamps 1235 on the left and right sides are relatively close to each other. The terminal board is clamped and fixed on both sides, and then the clamping of the six-axis linkage robot claws on the front and back sides of the terminal board is cancelled, and the six-axis linkage robot claws are moved outward; then the first adjusting motor 1229 is started, and the first adjusting motor 1229 drives the driving wheel 1230 to rotate, and the driving wheel 1230 drives the transmission wheel 1228 to rotate through the first belt, and the transmission wheel 1228 drives the first bidirectional threaded rod 1227 on the left side to rotate synchronously, and the first bidirectional threaded rod 1227 on the left and right sides is connected by the driven wheel 1232 and the second belt transmission, thereby driving the side clamps 1226 on the front and back sides to be relatively close, thereby clamping the front and back sides of the terminal board.
[0032] After the terminal board is clamped, the terminal is placed on the second slide by the six-axis linkage robot, and the terminal is fixed by the positioning cylinder on the second slide. Then, the terminal is moved to the position directly below the hole of the terminal board to be assembled by the terminal plane motion mechanism 121, and then the lifting cylinder 1222 is lowered and retracted, so that the installation frame 1223 and the fixed terminal board are lowered synchronously until the terminal is assembled to the corresponding hole of the terminal board, and then the camera is used to detect whether the terminal and the hole of the terminal board are aligned. After the terminal and the terminal board are aligned, the fourth slide is moved by the three-axis locking rack 1201 (which can move in the XYZ three-axis direction), so that the screw machine on the fourth slide is facing the terminal and the terminal board, and the screw machine is started. The screw feeder is responsible for blowing the screw to the front end of the screw machine, and the vacuum generator generates negative pressure to suck the screw. The intelligent electric screwdriver moves down and rotates through the cylinder to complete the screw locking. The misalignment cylinder is used to misalign the relative position of the camera and the screw machine to avoid interference.
[0033] After the terminal board assembly is assembled, the terminal board positioning mechanism 122 is released, and then the assembled terminal board assembly is placed on the carrier through the six-axis linkage robot. The carrier enters the next unit along the transfer conveyor line for subsequent finished product assembly.
[0034] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solution of the present invention rather than to limit it. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solution of the present invention can be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the purpose and scope of the technical solution, which should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
