Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of automobile chassis processing, and in particular to a new energy automobile chassis tightening production line. Background Art

[0002] In vehicle production and processing, it is necessary to tighten the high-torque bolts of the chassis. The following two methods are commonly used in the industry to tighten the bolts: This process is performed manually, usually requiring the vehicle to be suspended at a specified position, and then the staff operates the tightening tool to tighten the bolts. This process not only consumes a lot of manpower, but also because the vehicle needs to stay in one position for a long time and cannot enter the next workstation for processing. After the tightening is completed, it moves to the next workstation, thereby reducing the production efficiency of the vehicle; and the other method is to add a carrier vehicle, which moves synchronously with the vehicle, and automatically tightens the chassis bolts by adding an automatic tightening mechanism to the carrier vehicle.

[0003] For example, a patent document in China with application number 202310461446.3 and publication date 2023.7.28 discloses a vehicle chassis tightening device, method and computer-readable storage medium, which discloses tightening of vehicle chassis bolts; however, the device is not suitable for tightening of brake discs on drive shafts; since the drive shaft is movably arranged and the brake disc is arranged on the wheel hub bearing connected to the drive shaft, when the tightening mechanism is used to directly act on the nut of the brake disc, the drive shaft will also rotate with the nut, which will cause the brake disc to be unable to be tightened.

[0004] At the same time, the equipment connects the carrier and the sling through a synchronization mechanism. If multiple synchronization mechanisms are set, the distance between one clamping position of the sling and one synchronization mechanism, and the distance between another clamping position of the sling and another synchronization mechanism cannot be guaranteed to be completely consistent, which will be affected by errors.

[0005] Reference Figure 1 As shown, since the synchronization mechanism achieves the clamping of the sling C by the second clamping member Z2 approaching the first clamping member Z1; if a position to be clamped of the sling C contacts one of the first clamping members Z1, there is a gap V between another position to be clamped of the sling and another first clamping member X1, which will cause the other second clamping member X2 to be unable to clamp the sling when it approaches the other first clamping member X1. This will also cause unstable clamping between the sling and the carrier.

[0006] At the same time, due to the different placement angles of the bolts, the fit between the sleeve and the bolt cannot be guaranteed when the sleeve is used to tighten the bolt. When the sleeve cannot fit the bolt completely, the tightening effect on the bolt is poor. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of this, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a new energy vehicle chassis tightening production line, which clamps the hanger by bringing the sub-synchronous first clamping part and the sub-synchronous second clamping part close to each other; when the hanger is clamped in multiple positions, it will not be affected by the error of the distance between the hanger and the sub-synchronous first clamping part and the distance between the hanger and the sub-synchronous second clamping part. When tightening the nut corresponding to the brake disc through the brake disc tightening device, the rotation of the drive shaft is restricted while the nut is tightened, thereby realizing the tightening of the nut on the drive shaft; the universal sleeve of the front and rear suspension tightening equipment is matched with the bolts at different placement angles, so as to ensure the fitting effect between the movable end of the sleeve and the front and rear suspension bolts of the vehicle, and improve the rated tightening effect of the front and rear suspension bolts.

[0019] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the new energy vehicle chassis tightening production line described in the present invention are mainly reflected in:

[0020] In the auxiliary synchronous clamping device, the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member are close to each other to achieve clamping of the sling; the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member are away from each other to achieve separation of the auxiliary synchronous clamping device and the sling; since the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member are both movably arranged, when clamping the sling, the sling is moved between the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member, and the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member can be driven to clamp the sling; in this way, when clamping the sling at multiple positions, it will not be affected by the error of the distance between the sling and the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the distance between the sling and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member.

[0021] The brake disc tightening equipment is used to tighten the brake disc. In the drive shaft tightening machine, a moving device is provided to drive the tightening device to move along the three-axis direction, so as to realize the position alignment of the tightening device and the drive shaft. A rotating device is provided to drive the tightening device to rotate, so that the slot corresponds to the bolt position of the wheel hub bearing. At the same time, under the action of the moving device, the slot is driven to approach the bolt of the wheel hub bearing and the bolt of the wheel hub bearing is clamped. The slot limits the movement of the bolt of the wheel hub bearing, thereby limiting the rotation of the drive shaft. When tightening the nut corresponding to the brake disc, the rotation of the drive shaft is limited by tightening the limit device, and the nut is tightened by the brake disc tightening gun, thereby realizing the tightening of the nut on the drive shaft.

[0022] At the same time, a universal sleeve is provided in the front and rear suspension tightening device; the bolts of the front and rear suspension of the vehicle are tightened by the universal sleeve; a universal bearing is provided so that the movable end of the sleeve can move relative to the fixed end of the sleeve; the movable end of the sleeve can swing under the action of external force, and when the movable end of the sleeve contacts the bolts of the front and rear suspension of the wheel, the movable end of the sleeve can cooperate with the bolts placed at different angles, ensuring the fitting effect between the movable end of the sleeve and the front and rear suspension bolts of the vehicle; at the same time, a sleeve spring is provided for resetting the movable end of the sleeve, facilitating the fitting of the movable end of the sleeve with another bolt. The tightening base plate is supported by tightening the floating connector, and a self-aligning bearing is provided so that the tightening base plate can swing along the axial direction of the opening; in this way, the tightening base plate can swing under the action of external force, and when the tightening base plate contacts the brake disc, the tightening base plate can fit with the wall of the brake disc in different states, ensuring the fitting effect between the tightening base plate and the brake disc. At the same time, a reset spring is provided to reset the tightening base plate. When the tightening base plate is separated from the brake disc, the tightening base plate is driven to reset under the elastic force of the reset spring itself, thereby driving the self-aligning bearing to reset, making it easier for the tightening base plate to cooperate with another brake disc.

[0023] The movement of the tightening base plate is limited by setting a rotation limit assembly to prevent the reaction force of the wheel hub bearing bolts on the slot from driving the tightening base plate to rotate relative to the tightening floating connector, thereby preventing the drive shaft from rotating and being unable to tighten the brake disc.

[0024] By setting up a floating device to offset the reaction force generated by the tightening brake disc, the reaction force generated by the tightening brake disc is prevented from acting on the tightening device, thereby extending the service life of the tightening device. By setting up longitudinal floating components and transverse floating components separately, the reaction forces in different directions are buffered, thereby improving the effect of offsetting the reaction forces.

[0025] In the longitudinal floating assembly, the upward reaction force is buffered by the longitudinal first spring, the downward reaction force is buffered by the longitudinal second spring, and the reaction force is buffered in the longitudinal up and down directions.

[0026] In the lateral floating assembly, the leftward reaction force is buffered by the first lateral spring, the rightward reaction force is buffered by the second lateral spring, and the reaction force is buffered in the lateral left and right directions.

[0027] In the auxiliary synchronous clamping device, an independently driven auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and an auxiliary synchronous second clamping member are arranged, which has good reliability.

[0028] The present invention clamps the sling by bringing the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member close to each other; when the sling is clamped at multiple positions, it will not be affected by the error of the distance between the sling and the auxiliary synchronous first clamping member and the distance between the sling and the auxiliary synchronous second clamping member. When tightening the nut corresponding to the brake disc through the brake disc tightening device, the rotation of the drive shaft is restricted while the nut is tightened, thereby achieving the tightening of the nut on the drive shaft.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0049] The technical solution of the present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand the present invention and implement it. However, the embodiments cited are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0050] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it may be directly connected to the other element and integrated therewith, or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "installed", "one end", "the other end" and similar expressions used in the present invention are for illustrative purposes only.

[0051] This embodiment provides a new energy vehicle chassis tightening production line, such as Figure 2-18 As shown, it includes a chassis 1, a synchronization mechanism 2 arranged on the chassis 1, a brake disc tightening device 3 and a front and rear overhang tightening device 4. The synchronization mechanism 2 is used to clamp the sling and drive the chassis 1 to move with the sling; the brake disc tightening device 3 is used to tighten the brake disc. The front and rear overhang tightening device 4 is used to tighten the bolts of the front and rear overhangs of the vehicle.

[0052] The brake disc tightening device 3 includes a moving device 31 and a tightening device 32. The moving device 31 is used to drive the tightening device 32 to move along the length, width and height directions of the chassis 1. The tightening device 32 includes a tightening device 33. The tightening device 33 includes a brake disc tightening gun 331, a rotating device 332, a tightening bracket 333 and a tightening limit device 334. The tightening bracket 333 is hollow, the rotating device 332 is arranged on one side of the tightening bracket 333, the output end of the rotating device 332 is penetrated in the tightening bracket 333, the tightening limit device 334 is arranged on the rotating device 332, and a through opening is provided on the rotating device 332 and the tightening limit device 334, and the brake disc tightening gun 331 is penetrated in the opening. The brake disc tightening gun 331 is a prior art and will not be described here.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, two brake disc tightening devices 3 are provided to tighten the nuts corresponding to the brake discs on both sides of the vehicle respectively.

[0054] The tightening limit device 334 includes a tightening connection plate 3341, a tightening base plate 3342 and a tightening floating connection piece 3343, wherein the tightening floating connection piece 3343 is arranged on one side of the tightening connection plate 3341, and the tightening base plate 3342 is arranged on one side of the tightening floating connection piece 3343; the tightening connection plate 3341 is connected to the rotating device 332. Two or more bolt limit blocks 3344 are convexly arranged on the side of the tightening base plate 3342 away from the tightening floating connection piece 3343, and a clamping groove 3345 is formed between adjacent bolt limit blocks 3344; the rotating device 332 is used to drive the clamping groove 3345 on the tightening limit device 334 to rotate, and the clamping groove 3345 is used to clamp the bolt 6 of the wheel hub bearing to limit the rotation of the drive shaft, and the brake disc tightening gun 331 is used to tighten the locking nut of the brake disc 7 on the drive shaft.

[0055] In a preferred embodiment, a plurality of the retaining grooves 3345 are provided, so that each bolt of the wheel hub bearing is retained in place; the stability of the rotation of the drive shaft is improved; adjacent bolt limit blocks 3344 are distributed along the circumference of the tightening base plate 3342, and adjacent bolt limit blocks 3344 are spaced apart; specifically, five bolt limit blocks 3344 are provided, and five retaining grooves 3345 are respectively formed between adjacent bolt limit blocks 3344.

[0056] The tightening bracket 333 is provided with a camera device 3331, and the camera device 3331 is used to identify the bolt position of the hub bearing. In a preferred embodiment, the camera device 3331 is a camera. After the bolt position of the hub bearing is identified by the camera device 3331, the rotating device 332 drives the tightening limit device 334 to rotate so that the slot 3345 is aligned with the bolt of the hub bearing. A moving device 31 is provided to drive the tightening device 32 to move along the three-axis direction, so as to align the position of the tightening device 32 with the driving shaft. A rotating device 332 is provided to drive the tightening device 32 to rotate, so that the slot 3345 corresponds to the bolt position of the wheel hub bearing. At the same time, under the action of the moving device 31, the slot 3345 is driven to approach the bolt of the wheel hub bearing and the bolt of the wheel hub bearing is clamped. The slot 3345 limits the movement of the bolt of the wheel hub bearing, thereby limiting the rotation of the driving shaft. When tightening the nut corresponding to the brake disc, the rotation of the driving shaft is limited by tightening the limit device 334, and the nut is tightened by the brake disc tightening gun 331, thereby realizing the tightening of the nut on the driving shaft.

[0057] In a preferred embodiment, the tightening floating connection 3343 is connected to the tightening base plate 3342 via a self-aligning bearing 3346; a reset spring 3347 is also provided on the tightening connection, and one end of the reset spring 3347 abuts against the tightening base plate 3342. The tightening base plate 3342 is supported by the tightening floating connection 3343, and the self-aligning bearing 3346 is provided so that the tightening base plate 3342 can swing along the axial direction of the opening; in this way, the tightening base plate 3342 can swing under the action of external force, and when the tightening base plate 3342 contacts the brake disc, the tightening base plate 3342 can fit with the wall surface of the brake disc in different states, thereby ensuring the fitting effect between the tightening base plate 3342 and the brake disc. At the same time, a reset spring 3347 is provided to reset the tightening base plate 3342. When the tightening base plate 3342 is separated from the brake disc, the elastic force of the reset spring 3347 drives the tightening base plate 3342 to reset, thereby driving the self-aligning bearing 3346 to reset, making it easier for the tightening base plate 3342 to cooperate with another brake disc.

[0058] A rotation limiter assembly 3348 is also provided between the tightening floating connector 3343 and the tightening base plate 3342, and the rotation limiter assembly 3348 is used to limit the rotation of the tightening base plate 3342 relative to the tightening floating connector 3343. By providing the rotation limiter assembly 3348 to limit the movement of the tightening base plate 3342, it is prevented that the reaction force of the bolt of the wheel hub bearing on the clamping groove 3345 drives the tightening base plate 3342 to rotate relative to the tightening floating connector 3343, and it is prevented that the drive shaft rotates and cannot tighten the brake disc.

[0059] The rotation limit assembly 3348 includes a first tightening limit member 33481 and two or more second tightening limit members 33482, wherein the second tightening limit members 33482 protrude outward from the surface of the tightening floating connection member 3343; a tightening limit cavity 33483 is formed between two adjacent second tightening limit members 33482; the first tightening limit member 33481 protrudes from the surface of the tightening base plate 3342 toward the tightening floating connection member 3343, and the first tightening limit member 33481 extends into the tightening limit cavity 33483, and the two second tightening limit members 33482 abut against the first tightening limit member 33481, thereby limiting the tightening first limit member 33481 in the clockwise direction and the counterclockwise direction respectively, thereby limiting the rotation of the tightening base plate 3342 relative to the tightening floating connection member 3343.

[0060] In a preferred embodiment, a first zeroing hole 33411 is provided on the tightening connecting plate 3341; a second zeroing hole 3332 is provided on the tightening bracket 333; the first zeroing hole 33411 and the second zeroing hole 3332 are respectively arranged to penetrate along the axial square of the opening, and the alignment position of the first zeroing hole 33411 and the second zeroing hole 3332 is the zero point of the rotating device 332; the first zeroing hole 33411 cooperates with the second zeroing hole 3332 to provide a reference position for the rotation of the tightening limit device 334.

[0061] The tightening device 32 further includes a floating device 34, which includes a longitudinal floating component 341 and a transverse floating component 342; the tightening device 33 is arranged on the transverse floating component 342, the longitudinal floating component 341 is arranged on the moving device 31 and connected to the transverse floating component 342, and the floating device 34 is used to offset the reaction force of the nut on the tightening device 33 along the height direction and the length direction of the tightening device 33. By setting the floating device 34 to offset the reaction force generated by the tightening brake disc, the reaction force generated by the tightening brake disc is prevented from acting on the tightening device 33, and the service life of the tightening device 33 is extended. By respectively setting the longitudinal floating component 341 and the transverse floating component 342, the reaction forces in different directions are buffered, and the offset effect of the reaction force is improved.

[0062] The longitudinal floating assembly 341 comprises a longitudinal floating bracket 3411, longitudinal limit plates 3412 are respectively provided at both ends of the longitudinal floating bracket 3411 in the height direction, and a longitudinal floating guide column is provided between the two longitudinal limit plates 3412; a longitudinal first spring 3413, a longitudinal second spring 3414 and a longitudinal floating block 3415 are passed through the longitudinal floating guide column; the longitudinal floating block 3415 is located between the longitudinal first spring 3413 and the longitudinal second spring 3414, and the transverse floating assembly 342 is connected to the longitudinal floating block 3415. In the longitudinal floating assembly 341, the upward reaction force is buffered by the longitudinal first spring 3413, the downward reaction force is buffered by the longitudinal second spring 3414, and the reaction force is buffered in the longitudinal up and down directions.
