In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0055] This embodiment provides a flexible wall panel assembly device, which can avoid interference between the robot and the cardboard 40, improve the assembly automation rate and the coverage rate of parts fixation; at the same time, the cardboard 40 can be adapted to the inner and outer shapes of the wall panel 200 at the same time, reducing the number of parts. Figure 1-Figure 3 As shown, the wall panel flexible assembly device includes a wall panel frame 10, a wall panel tooling 30 and a plurality of card plates 40. The wall panel frame 10 is provided with a slide rail 20, and the slide rail 20 is arranged in a rectangular shape. The length direction of the slide rail 20 is defined as a first direction (X direction in the figure), and the width direction of the slide rail 20 is defined as a second direction (Y direction in the figure). The slide rail 20 includes a first slide rail 21, a second slide rail 22, a third slide rail 23 and a fourth slide rail 24 which are sequentially connected end to end. The first slide rail 21 and the third slide rail 23 are parallel to each other and extend along the first direction. The second slide rail 22 and the fourth slide rail 24 are parallel to each other. The wall panel tooling 30 is located inside the wall panel frame 10, the wall panel 200 is installed on the wall panel tooling 30, the first slide rail 21 is located on the outer side 220 of the wall panel 200, and the second slide rail 22 is located on the inner side 230 of the wall panel 200; a plurality of card plates 40 can be slidably matched with the slide rail 20, and each card plate 40 can be selectively positioned on any one of the first slide rail 21, the second slide rail 22, the third slide rail 23 and the fourth slide rail 24, one side of the card plate 40 matches the inner shape of the wall panel 200, and the other side of the card plate 40 matches the outer shape of the wall panel 200.

[0056] The above-mentioned wall panel flexible assembly device is configured by arranging a slide rail 20 on the wall panel frame 10, and the first slide rail 21 and the third slide rail 23 are respectively located on both sides of the wall panel tooling 30. After the wall panel 200 is pre-installed on the wall panel tooling 30, the first slide rail 21 is located on the outer side 220 of the wall panel 200, and the third slide rail 23 is located on the inner side 230 of the wall panel 200. The two side surfaces of the card plate 40 are respectively adapted to the inner and outer shapes of the wall panel 200. When a number of card plates 40 are positioned on the third slide rail 23, automated equipment such as a manipulator can operate unobstructed on the other side of the card plate 40, and the obstruction of the card plate 40 is avoided for operations such as punching and riveting, and punching or riveting can be performed over a large area, thereby improving the automation rate of assembly and the coverage rate of parts fixation; at the same time, the card plate 40 can be simultaneously adapted to the shaping of the inner and outer shapes of the wall panel 200, and only one type of card plate 40 needs to be manufactured, thereby reducing the number of parts.

[0057] Understandably, Figure 1 In the process of the robot arm working, only one side of the wall panel 200 (the inner side 230 in the figure, it can also be the outer side 220) is provided with a card plate 40. After the card plate 40 on one side is used up, the card plate 40 on this side is moved to the other side of the wall panel 200 through the slide rail 20 to achieve switching.

[0058] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the second slide rail 22 and the fourth slide rail 24 can also be used as a temporary storage area, that is, the number of pallets 40 configured on the slide rail 20 is more than the amount of pallets 40 used on one side. When in use, the pallets 40 on one side are used up, the pallets 40 on that side can be moved to the temporary storage area, and at the same time, the extra pallets 40 placed in the temporary storage area can be slid to the other side. The two steps are performed simultaneously, which can increase the switching speed between the inside and outside types, and when one of the pallets 40 is damaged, it can be replaced on the spot.

[0059] Among them, the wall panel 200 is generally installed on the wall panel tooling 30 manually. The wall panel tooling 30 is provided with limiting parts, clamping parts, etc. for roughly positioning the wall panel 200. The use of the wall panel tooling 30 is a commonly used structure in the assembly of the wall panel 200 in the prior art and will not be repeated here.

[0060] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 3As shown, the inner profile matching side 41 of the cardboard 40 is provided with a plurality of limiting grooves 411, and the limiting grooves 411 are arranged one by one with the long stringers 210 on the wall panel 200; the outer profile matching side 42 of the cardboard 40 is provided with a plurality of adsorbents 421, and the plurality of adsorbents 421 are arranged at intervals along the edge of the cardboard 40, and the adsorbents 421 are used to adsorb the outer profile surface of the wall panel 200. Through the above arrangement, when the cardboard 40 is used on the inner profile side 230 of the wall panel 200, the long stringers 210 can be cleverly used to shape the wall panel 200, and when the cardboard 40 is used on the outer profile side 220 of the wall panel 200, since the profile surface of the outer profile side 220 is relatively smooth, the adsorbents 421 can be used to shape the wall panel 200 without damaging the profile surface.

[0061] Since the first slide rail 21 and the third slide rail 23 extend along the first direction, when the card plate 40 slides along either one of the two, the outer edge position of the card plate 40 is the position of the finalized wall panel 200. Since the wall panel 200 is only roughly positioned on the wall panel tooling 30, the card plate 40 is prone to interfere with the outer edge of the wall panel 200 during the sliding process due to the high degree of freedom of the wall panel 200, and the wall panel 200 needs to be slightly moved manually.

[0062] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 2 As shown, the slide rail 20 further includes a plurality of first sub-slide rails 25 and a plurality of second sub-slide rails 26. The plurality of first sub-slide rails 25 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, each of which is connected to the first slide rail 21 and extends toward the wall panel fixture 30 along the second direction; the plurality of second sub-slide rails 26 are arranged at intervals along the first direction, each of which is connected to the third slide rail 23 and extends toward the wall panel fixture 30 along the second direction. It can be understood that the card plate 40 can also slide on the first sub-slide rail 25 and the second sub-slide rail 26, and can also be positioned on the first sub-slide rail 25 or the second sub-slide rail 26. That is to say, when the card plate 40 slides along the first direction, it is still a distance away from the wall panel 200 and will not interfere with the wall panel 200. Then, it gradually approaches the wall panel 200 along the second direction, and the contact damage to the wall panel 200 is also smaller.

[0063] Alternatively, if Figure 1-Figure 3As shown, a slide groove 27 is provided on the slide rail 20 along its corresponding extension direction, and a first slider (not shown) is connected to the end of the card plate 40, and the first slider is slidably matched with the slide groove 27, and at least the slide groove 27 on the first sub-slide rail 25 and the second sub-slide rail 26 is a T-shaped groove. Based on the setting of the first sub-slide rail 25 and the second sub-slide rail 26, the card plate 40 is used to position the wall panel 200 at the end position of the first sub-slide rail 25 or the second sub-slide rail 26 when finalizing the wall panel 200. The setting of the T-shaped groove can ensure that both ends of the card plate 40 are limited in the horizontal direction and also in the vertical direction, so as to prevent the card plate 40 from being unstable in the vertical direction. It should be noted that in order to ensure that the card plate 40 can slide everywhere on the slide rail 20, the slide grooves 27 in the second slide rail 22 and the fourth slide rail 24 are also T-shaped accordingly.

[0064] Preferably, if Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the wall panel frame 10 includes an upper frame 11 and a lower frame 12 which are connected and spaced apart in the third direction, and the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 are both provided with a slide rail 20, and the two ends of the card plate 40 are respectively slidably matched with the slide rail 20 on the upper frame 11 and the slide rail 20 on the lower frame 12. It can be understood that the upper frame 11 and the lower frame 12 are both provided with the same slide rail 20, so as to ensure that the two ends of the longer card plate 40 slide at the same time, thereby improving the stability of the two ends of the card plate 40 when sliding and in place.

[0065] Alternatively, if Figure 4 As shown, the card plate 40 is positioned on the slide rail 20 ( Figure 4 The slide rail 20 is not shown in the figure, and here, the slide rail 20 can be any one of the first slide rail 21, the second slide rail 22, the third slide rail 23, the fourth slide rail 24, the first sub-slide rail 25 and the second sub-slide rail 26).

[0066] Specifically, if Figure 4As shown, the first card locking assembly 50 includes a connecting seat 51, a first column pin mounting seat 52, a first column pin 53 and a first locking member 54. The connecting seat 51 can be relatively slidably mounted on the slide rail 20 (the first slider can be mounted below the connecting seat 51 or at the end of the card plate 40, which is not limited here), and the end of the card plate 40 is mounted on the connecting seat 51; the first column pin mounting seat 52 is tubular, and the first column pin mounting seat 52 is mounted on the connecting seat 51. The connecting seat 51 and the slide rail 20 correspond to the first column pin mounting seat 52 A first plug hole 511 and a second plug hole (not shown) are respectively provided; the first pin 53 passes through the first pin mounting seat 52, the first plug hole 511 and the second plug hole in sequence and can slide axially along the first pin 53; a third plug hole 521 is provided on the side of the first pin mounting seat 52, and at least two fourth plug holes 531 arranged axially at intervals are provided on the side of the first pin 53; the first locking member 54 passes through the third plug hole 521 and any fourth plug hole 531 in sequence and is locked and fixed to the first pin mounting seat 52. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, after the first pin 53 is inserted into the second plug-in hole, the first locking piece 54 axially fixes the first pin 53 by passing through the fourth plug-in hole 531, thereby locking the position of the card plate 40. When sliding is required, the first locking piece 54 is moved outward so that the first locking piece 54 is disengaged from the fourth plug-in hole 531, and the first pin 53 is moved in a direction away from the first pin mounting seat 52, so that the first pin 53 is disengaged from the second plug-in hole, and the first locking piece 54 is inserted into another fourth plug-in hole 531, and sliding is performed.

[0067] Preferably, the third plug hole 521 is a threaded hole, and / or a threaded hole is provided on the side of the first pin mounting seat 52 away from the third plug hole 521, and the first pin 53 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole on the first pin mounting seat 52. The above arrangement makes it easier to fix the first locking member 54. Preferably, the first locking member 54 is also provided with a handle to facilitate manual operation to tighten or loosen the first locking member 54.

[0068] There are many kinds of wall panels 200, some of which have the same external dimensions but different curvatures, and need to be replaced with matching card plates 40. At this time, the wall panel tooling 30 does not need to be replaced, but after the card plate 40 is replaced, the second plug-in hole opened on the previous slide rail 20 causes the card plate 40 to be positioned on the first sub-slide rail 25 or the second sub-slide rail 26, and its position does not meet the finalization of the position of the new wall panel 200.

[0069] In order to solve the above problems, Figure 5As shown, in the second direction, the position of the end of the card plate 40 relative to the connection seat 51 is adjustable. Through the above arrangement, in the second direction, the final position of the card plate 40 is not only determined by the position of the second plug hole, but also when the position of the second plug hole is determined, if the position of the card plate 40 cannot meet the position of the replaced wall plate 200, the position of the card plate 40 can be adjusted through the above arrangement.

[0070] Alternatively, if Figure 5 As shown, a guide rail 61 is provided at one of the ends of the connecting seat 51 and the card plate 40, and a second slider 62 is provided at the other end. The guide rail 61 extends along the second direction, and the second slider 62 slides with the guide rail 61. The end of the card plate 40 is positioned on the connecting seat 51 by the second card plate locking assembly 70 to ensure the accuracy of the position adjustment of the card plate 40.

[0071] Furthermore, if Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the second card plate locking assembly 70 includes a second pin mounting seat 71, a second pin 72 and a second locking member 73. The second pin mounting seat 71 is tubular and is installed on the end surface of the card plate 40. The card plate 40 and the connecting seat 51 respectively open a fifth plug hole and a sixth plug hole 512 corresponding to the second pin mounting seat 71, and at least two sixth plug holes 512 are arranged in the second direction; the second pin 72 sequentially penetrates the second pin mounting seat 71, the fifth plug hole 43 and any sixth plug hole 512 and can slide axially along the second pin 72; the seventh plug hole 711 is opened on the side of the second pin mounting seat 71, and at least two eighth plug holes 721 arranged axially at intervals are opened on the side of the second pin 72. The second locking member 73 sequentially penetrates the seventh plug hole 711 and any eighth plug hole 721 and is locked and fixed with the second pin mounting seat 71. Through the above-mentioned arrangement, after the second pin 72 is inserted into the sixth plug-in hole 512, the second locking piece 73 axially fixes the second pin 72 by passing through the eighth plug-in hole 721, thereby locking the position of the card plate 40. When it is necessary to slide along the second direction, the second locking piece 73 is moved outward so that the second locking piece 73 disengages from the sixth plug-in hole 512, and the second pin 72 moves in a direction away from the second pin mounting seat 71, so that the second pin 72 disengages from the sixth plug-in hole 512, and the second locking piece 73 is inserted into another eighth plug-in hole 721, and sliding is performed.

[0072] Preferably, the seventh plug hole 711 is a threaded hole, and / or a threaded hole is provided on the side of the second pin mounting seat 71 away from the seventh plug hole 711, and the second pin 72 is threadedly connected with the threaded hole on the second pin mounting seat 71. The above arrangement makes it easier to fix the second locking member 73. Preferably, the second locking member 73 is also provided with a handle to facilitate manual operation to tighten or loosen the second locking member 73.

[0073] It should be noted that if Figure 3 As shown, each end of the card plate 40 is correspondingly provided with a first card plate locking assembly 50 and a second card plate locking assembly 70 to ensure that the two end positions of the card plate 40 are locked.

[0074] This embodiment also provides a wall panel assembly method, which uses the above-mentioned wall panel flexible assembly device to assemble the wall panel 200.

[0075] Specifically, the wall panel assembly method includes:

[0076] S10: Transferring the wall panel 200 to the wall panel tooling 30;

[0077] S20: When the manipulator works on the inner side of the wall panel 200, the clamping plate 40 is slid along the slide rail 20 to the outer side of the wall panel 200 and the clamping plate 40 is fitted with the outer surface of the wall panel 200 to shape the wall panel 200; when the manipulator works on the outer side of the wall panel 200, the clamping plate 40 is slid along the slide rail 20 to the inner side of the wall panel 200 and the clamping plate 40 is fitted with the inner surface of the wall panel 200 to shape the wall panel 200. In the wall panel assembly method, by using the above-mentioned wall panel flexible assembly device, the clamping plate 40 can be switched at any time inside and outside the wall panel 200 according to different processing conditions, and the automation rate of mechanical assembly and the coverage rate of parts fixing are improved.

[0078] Preferably, S20 includes:

[0079] S21: Slide the clamping plate 40 along the slide rail 20 to the outer side of the wall panel 200 and fit the clamping plate 40 with the outer surface of the wall panel 200 to shape the wall panel 200. The first manipulator places the long stringer 210 on the inner surface of the wall panel 200. The second manipulator rivets the long stringer 210 to the wall panel 200 on the inner side of the wall panel 200. Repeat the same operation for multiple long strings 210.

[0080] S22: Slide the clamping plate 40 along the slide rail 20 to the inner side of the wall panel 200 and fit the clamping plate 40 with the inner surface of the wall panel 200 to shape the wall panel 200. The long stringer 210 is limited to the clamping plate 40. The third manipulator performs secondary riveting on the long stringer 210 on the outer side of the wall panel 200. For one long stringer 210, the number of riveting points of the secondary riveting is greater than the number of riveting points of the primary riveting.

[0081] The above arrangement ensures that the long stringer 210 can be pre-installed smoothly on the inner side 230 of the wall panel 200 , and that the long stringer 210 is riveted with a large coverage rate on the outer side 220 of the wall panel 200 , thereby ensuring the stability of the riveting of the long stringer 210 .

[0082] It should be noted that during the flexible assembly of the wall panel 200, it is also necessary to install corner pieces, strip plates and other parts (the types of parts that need to be installed on the wall panel 200 are well-known). The installation process refers to the interference position of the inner and outer shapes of the wall panel 200, and the wall panel 200 is set on the other side of the corresponding working side, which will not be elaborated here.

[0083] Obviously, the above embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention, and are not intended to limit the embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, various obvious changes, readjustments and substitutions can be made without departing from the protection scope of the present invention. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the embodiments here.
