DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0037] The specific implementation of the present invention is further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and cannot be used to limit the protection scope of the present invention.
[0038] A hydraulic tensioner assembly line, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes a circular conveyor line 1 and several assembly stations arranged around the circular conveyor line 1. The circular conveyor line 1 is elliptical, and the two sides are arranged parallel to each other. The circular conveyor line 1 has an elliptical track, and placement tools for placing workpieces are evenly spaced on the track. When the workpiece of the tensioner is placed on the tooling, its position can be positioned to form an upright state, and the setting of the workpiece placement tooling is convenient for the robot to pick up or place. Each tooling is connected to a driving chain running in the track, so that all placement tools can move around the circular conveyor line 1 at the same time, thereby forming a driving effect for the movement of the workpiece between the stations, and the circular conveyor line 1 is preferably intermittently moved. When the placement tooling moves to the corresponding station, the circular conveyor line 1 stops moving, which is convenient for cooperating with the robot to carry out the workpiece picking and placing operation; the assembly line is also provided with a control cabinet 2 and a robot; specifically, each output end of the control cabinet 2 is connected to the corresponding end of the circular conveyor line 1, the corresponding end of the assembly station, and the corresponding end of the robot respectively;
[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the assembly stations include: a pull rod assembly station 3, a push rod assembly station 4, a pressure holding test station 5, a limit sleeve assembly station 6, a spring assembly station 7, a support assembly station 8, a general assembly station 9, and a material unloading and stacking station 10, which are arranged in sequence around the circular conveyor line 1;
[0040] The tie rod assembly station 3 is used to push the tie rod workpiece to a predetermined position in the cylinder body; the push rod assembly station 4 is used to invert the cylinder body, inject hydraulic oil from the other end and press the push rod workpiece; and a workpiece pallet loading area 13 is provided between the tie rod assembly station 3 and the push rod assembly station 4; the workpiece pallet loading area 13 is provided with a classification pallet for feeding the tie rod assembly station 3 and the push rod assembly station 4, and the classification pallet includes a cylinder body pallet 14, a tie rod pallet 15, and a push rod pallet 16. There is a certain distance between the tie rod assembly station 3 and the push rod assembly station 4, and the workpiece pallet loading area 13 is formed by using this piece of workpiece. Figure 1 As shown, various raw material workpieces that can be used in the initial assembly stations, namely the tie rod assembly station 3 and the push rod assembly station 4, are regularly placed in this area, and KBK hoists are also provided in this area to facilitate taking various workpieces to the stations, or to hang the workpieces assembled at the tie rod assembly station 3 and the push rod assembly station 4 on the ring conveyor line 1.
[0041] The location of each workstation is as follows: Figure 1As shown, a cylinder assembly station, a workpiece pallet loading area 13 and a push rod assembly station 4 are arranged on the straight side of the circular conveyor line 1, and a pressure holding test station 5, a limit sleeve assembly station 6, a spring assembly station 7, a support assembly station 8, and a general assembly station 9 are arranged in sequence on the other side of the circular conveyor line 1. The manipulator includes a truss manipulator 11 and a stacking manipulator 12; the KBK hoist is arranged in the workpiece pallet loading area 13 to meet the needs of hoisting the workpieces at the stations on both sides or hoisting the workpieces on the circular conveyor line 1.
[0042] The straight side on the other side of the circular conveyor line 1 is sequentially arranged as a pressure-maintaining test station 5, a limit sleeve assembly station 6, a spring assembly station 7, and a support assembly station 8. The pressure-maintaining test station 5, the limit sleeve assembly station 6, the spring assembly station 7, and the support assembly station 8 are all moved back and forth between the station and the circular conveyor line 1 by a truss manipulator 11 to grab the workpiece; each station is respectively provided with a truss manipulator 11 to facilitate the movement of the workpiece back and forth and hanging it on the circular conveyor line 1 or on the corresponding stations.
[0043] A palletizing robot 12 is arranged at one end of the circular conveyor line 1, so that the palletizing robot 12 is located between the final assembly station 9 and the unloading palletizing station 10, and the palletizing robot 12 grabs the workpiece and moves it between the final assembly station 9, the unloading palletizing station 10 and the circular conveyor line 1. During production, when the product assembled at the support assembly station 8 is moved to the grabbing range of the palletizing robot 12, the palletizing robot 12 grabs the product to the final assembly station 9 for assembly. After the assembly is completed, the palletizing robot 12 grabs the assembled product and places it on the pallet on the unloading palletizing station 10.
[0044] Specifically, the rod assembly station 3 is also integrated with a cylinder cleaning tool 17, a rod automatic pressing tool 2418, and a stop pin punching tool 21. The cylinder cleaning tool 17 cleans at least one cylinder. The cylinder to be cleaned is placed in the cylinder cleaning tool 17, and after cleaning, it is directly transferred to the rod automatic pressing tool 2418 on one side. Figure 2 As shown, the automatic tie rod press tool 2418 is provided with a cylinder body positioning tool 19 and a top pressing cylinder 20, and the free end of the top pressing cylinder 20 coincides with the axis of the cylinder body workpiece positioned by the cylinder body positioning tool 19; after the cylinder body is placed in the positioning tool, the cylinders symmetrically arranged on both sides push toward the middle to clamp the cylinder body, and make the axis of the cylinder body workpiece coincide with the axis of the upper top pressing cylinder 20, and then the operator puts the tie rod with the sealing ring installed into the cylinder body, and the upper end of the tie rod is aligned with the lower end of the top pressing cylinder 20, and then the top pressing cylinder 20 presses down to contact the tie rod, thereby pressing the tie cylinder into the cylinder body workpiece to a predetermined depth. It also includes a stop pin punching tool 21, such as Figure 2As shown on the right side of the figure, the stop pin punching tool 21 uses a punching motor to drill holes in the cylinder workpiece fixed by the cylinder positioning tool 19. In addition, this tool is also provided with a vibrating feeding plate 27, which can feed the stop pin to the punching position in a predetermined posture, so that the operator can conveniently take and install it, thereby effectively improving the installation efficiency. After completing the installation of this station, the KBK sling will sling the assembled product to the placement tool on the circular conveyor line 1, and then the circular conveyor line 1 will continue to run, control the product to move to the next station, and with the circular conveyor line 1 cyclic movement, the vacant placement tool will be rotated to the tie rod assembly station 3 to achieve the purpose of cyclic transportation.
[0045] Furthermore, the push rod assembly station 4 includes a quantitative oiling station 22 for oiling the inside of the cylinder workpiece, and the push rod workpiece is positioned and screwed into the cylinder workpiece by a servo motor 26. Figure 3 As shown, when the product with the cylinder installed moves to the push rod assembly station 4, the KBK hoist lifts the product out of the circular conveyor line 1 and sends it to the quantitative oiling station 22 of the push rod assembly station 4, injects a certain amount of hydraulic oil into the cylinder body, and then transfers it to the cylinder body positioning tool 19 in the push rod assembly station 4 next to it. It can be understood that the cylinder body positioning tool 19 in this station is the same as the aforementioned structure; the clamping and positioning of the cylinder body is completed, and then a servo motor 26 is provided on the upper part of the push rod assembly station 4, and the output end of the servo motor 26 is fixed with the push rod workpiece to be assembled, the servo motor 26 moves down and cooperates to control the rotation of the push rod workpiece to install the workpiece into the cylinder body to complete the assembly; and this station also integrates an automatic marking process to complete the marking of relevant parameters on the surface of the cylinder body. After completion, the KBK hoist is placed in the circular conveying point and sent to the next station for assembly.
[0046] The workpiece is transferred from the ring conveyor line 1 to the pressure test station 5 by the truss manipulator 11. Figure 4 As shown, the pressure test station 5 is equipped with double test stations. To match the production capacity and production rhythm, the double stations are arranged to perform pressure test simultaneously to ensure the test efficiency of the hydraulic tensioner. At the same time, the pressure value and pressure displacement change are monitored in real time, and the test data is stored. Figure 4 As shown, each inspection station is provided with a servo electric cylinder 23, which applies a test pressure to the push rod. The product is hoisted by the corresponding truss manipulator 11 onto the cylinder positioning fixture 19 to position the product, and then the servo electric cylinder 23 is pressed down to apply and maintain a predetermined pressure on the push rod. During the process, the displacement change of the push rod is recorded. If the push rod is not compressed during the inspection, or the compression amount is within the required range of the product, it can be determined that the sealing of the cylinder body is good and meets the product quality requirements. Otherwise, the quality of the product is unqualified, and unqualified products need to be inspected and reassembled.
[0047] The limit sleeve assembly station 6, the spring assembly station 7, and the support assembly station 8 are all equipped with corresponding truss manipulators 11 to grab the workpieces on the tray and assemble them on the hydraulic tensioner on the ring conveyor line 1. Figure 1 As shown, it can be understood that the assembly work completed by the limit sleeve assembly station 6, the spring assembly station 7, and the support assembly station 8 are all carried out by the corresponding truss manipulator 11 which grabs the workpiece on the workpiece pallet and moves it to the upper part of the product on the circular conveyor line 1, and then inserts it accordingly to complete the assembly. At the limit sleeve assembly station 6, the manipulator picks up the workpieces arranged regularly on the workpiece pallet in turn and then inserts them on the product to complete the assembly; at the spring assembly station 7, the manipulator also picks up the spring and places it on the product to complete the assembly; at the support assembly station 8, the corresponding manipulator takes the support workpiece and puts it into the upper part of the corresponding product; after completing the above assembly, the product moves to the final assembly station 9 along the circular conveyor line 1.
[0048] The final assembly station 9 is moved to a position by the stacking robot 12 grabbing the products on the circular conveyor line 1. The final assembly station 9 is provided with two sets of pressing tools 24, such as Figure 5 As shown, this station is equipped with two sets of tools to coordinate production capacity and improve assembly efficiency. The press tool 24 is equipped with a lower pressure plate 25 driven by a hydraulic press. Each press station is equipped with two 150-ton hydraulic presses to drive the lower pressure plate 25. When the lower pressure plate 25 moves down, the lower pressure plate 25 compresses the spring on the tensioner product to expose the end of the pull rod, and a servo motor 26 for tightening the nut is provided to tighten the nut on the end of the pull rod. Figure 5 As shown, a servo motor 26 is arranged between the two hydraulic presses, and nuts are sequentially fed in by a vibrating feeding tray 27 at the lower end of the servo motor 26. When the spring is compressed, the end of the pull cylinder is exposed, and then the servo motor 26 moves down and rotates in coordination to screw the nut onto the pull rod to complete the assembly.
[0049] Furthermore, after the nut is installed, the tensioner product is grabbed by the palletizing robot 12 and transferred to the unloading and palletizing station 10, and the assembly of the stop plate and the screw is completed.
[0050] An assembly process for a hydraulic tensioner assembly line comprises the following steps:
[0051] Step 1: Workpiece preparation and loading, placing the cylinder tray 14, the tie rod tray 15, the ejector tray 16 and other raw material trays in the workpiece tray loading area 13, and providing the necessary components for subsequent assembly;
[0052] Step 2: Tie rod assembly, the cylinder body is first cleaned by the cleaning tool, and then transferred to the tie rod automatic press tool 2418. Before the tie rod is pressed, the sealing ring is installed manually, and the tie rod is accurately pressed into the predetermined position in the cylinder body by the top pressing cylinder 20, and the cylinder body is drilled by the stop pin punching machine;
[0053] Step 3: Assembling the ejector rod, the cylinder body with the cleaned and assembled pull rod is inverted, and a quantitative hydraulic oil is injected into the other end of the cylinder body by the automatic oil injection device, and then the servo motor 26 positions and screws the ejector rod into the cylinder body. This step also includes automatic marking and installation of the oil nozzle;
[0054] Step 4: Pressure holding test. After the ejector assembly is completed, the truss manipulator 11 transfers the workpiece to the pressure holding test station 5. This step is a dual-station simultaneous test. The servo electric cylinder 23 applies test pressure to the ejector, and the displacement change of the pressure holding is monitored in real time, and the data is recorded to ensure product quality.
[0055] Step 5: Assembling the limit sleeve, the truss manipulator 11 grabs the limit sleeve from the material tray and accurately installs it on the hydraulic tensioner on the ring conveyor line 1;
[0056] Step 6: Spring assembly: Use the truss manipulator 11 to grab the spring from the tray and assemble it to the corresponding position of the hydraulic tensioner;
[0057] Step 7: Assembling the support, continue to use the truss manipulator 11 to grab the support from the tray and install it on the hydraulic tensioner;
