Description

[0002] In automobile manufacturing, bolt tightening is an essential part of the assembly process. The grade of bolts is determined by the importance level of the parts and the failure mode. Class A bolts (safety regulations, life safety) must be tightened with servo tools, and data collection and monitoring are performed. However, in actual production, there are still frequent cases of wrong or missed bolt tightening, which will cause major safety hazards after the vehicles enter the market, and serious ones will involve vehicle recalls.

[0003] The bolt tightening procedure is set in the servo tool controller. The rotation angle of the bolt from the initial torque to the final tightening torque of the hard connection and the neutral connection is not too large. The rotation angle of the soft connection depends on the hardness of the installed workpiece. The hardness fluctuation will cause a large deviation in the angle monitoring after tightening. If the tightening is qualified and tightened again, the system may not intercept and alarm, which will lead to repeated tightening and missed tightening.

[0046] The purpose, features and advantages of this application will be further described in conjunction with the embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0047] It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the technical solutions of the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0048] In order to better understand the technical solution of the present application, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0049] It should be noted that when the servo tool fails in tightening, the employee needs to perform repair work. During this operation, the employee needs to switch the tool to reverse mode so that the tool can be reversed for repair, or the servo tool will lock after tightening NG, and the team leader can be called to unlock it for repair. Currently, the tool will not lock after the tooling fails in tightening, and the employee can continue to operate. If the tightening equipment is old, the system will not retain the repair data when the employee loosens it. This will lead to another problem. If the employee does not find that the repair is not necessary after tightening NG, he will continue to tighten the bolts. After the last bolt is tightened, the employee will find that the servo tool is not locked and can continue to rotate. If the employee loosens a qualified tightening point and tightens it again, the angle monitoring room will not be able to intercept it.

[0050] The existing technology has the following disadvantages: multiple bolts are assembled at the same workstation, and the torque method is used to set the angle monitoring status. An electric tool is used to repeatedly tighten the same bolt. Different connection methods present completely different results. The hard connection and neutral connection programs can directly intercept the alarm, and the PLC does not count; but in the case of soft connection, the angle and torque may be qualified, and the PLC count will determine that it is qualified, resulting in the remaining bolts not being tightened, resulting in misjudgment, and failing to prevent the bolts from being tightened.

[0051] It should be noted that the execution subject of this embodiment can be a computing service device with data processing, network communication and program running functions, such as a tablet computer, a personal computer, a mobile phone, etc., or an electronic device capable of realizing the above functions, a bolt tightening error proofing device, etc. The following takes the bolt tightening error proofing device as an example to illustrate this embodiment and the following embodiments.

[0052] Based on this, the embodiment of the present application provides a method for preventing errors in tightening bolts, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a flow chart of the first embodiment of the error-proofing device method for bolt tightening of the present application.

[0053] In this embodiment, the error-proofing method for tightening bolts includes steps S10 to S20:

[0054] Step S10, obtaining device information;

[0055] It should be noted that the equipment refers to equipment that needs to be bolted, such as brake pipes, ESP assembly oil pipes and other equipment.

[0056] The equipment information includes data such as the number of bolts to be tightened of the equipment that needs to be tightened, the tightening point torque of each bolt to be tightened, and the final rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened.

[0057] Step S20, determining a target tightening torque and a target rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened based on the equipment information;

[0058] It should be noted that the target tightening torque is the final torque value determined based on the specifications of the bolt and the requirements of the connected parts. Torque is the moment required to rotate an object, and the unit is Newton meter (Nm). The target rotation angle is the angle that the bolt needs to rotate from the beginning of tightening to reach the target torque. This angle is crucial to ensure that the bolt is tightened correctly.

[0059] Step S30, determining the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, and the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage based on the target tightening torque and the target rotation angle;

[0060] It should be noted that the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage is the angle monitoring range of the tightening program in the initial stage, the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage is the torque monitoring range of the tightening program in the initial stage, the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage is the angle monitoring range of the tightening program in the final tightening stage, and the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage is the torque monitoring range of the tightening program in the final tightening stage. This staged monitoring method helps to capture possible problems and can control the entire tightening process more accurately.

[0061] It should be understood that the tightening program sets angle monitoring in the initial stage and angle monitoring in the final tightening stage. The corresponding torque of the initial stage angle monitoring is consistently set to less than 30% of the tightening torque, and the corresponding torque of the final tightening angle monitoring is generally set to more than 50% of the tightening torque. For example: the workpiece is tightened to 50N.m, the initial angle monitoring torque is set to 0~15N.m, the angle monitoring is xx°~xxx° (calculated according to the actual statistical normal distribution), the final tightening angle monitoring torque is set to 30N.m~50N.m, the angle of bolt rotation, and the angle monitoring is xx°~xxx° (calculated according to the actual statistical normal distribution).

[0062] In the specific implementation, it is assumed that the processing object is to tighten the brake pipe ESP assembly oil pipe, the torque of the 5 tightening points is 16N.m, but the final rotation angle is different. If the angle monitoring settings are the same, there is a risk of slipping. Two different tightening programs are set for the 5 tightening points. The first 1-2-3 point program sets the torque from 2.5 to 6.5Nm, the rotation angle range should be 5 to 200°, the final tightening torque is from 7 to 16Nm, and the rotation angle is 10° to 70°. The torque of the last 4-5 points is from 2.5 to 6.5Nm, the rotation angle range should be 5 to 200°, the final tightening torque is from 7 to 16NM, and the rotation angle is 80° to 175°.

[0063] Step S40, starting the tightening process, obtaining the tightening torque and the bolt rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened;

[0064] It should be noted that before starting the tightening process, the equipment should be calibrated to ensure that the readings of the tightening tool are accurate.

[0065] It should be understood that if the servo tool detects that an employee is tightening the same point twice, the servo tool will sound an alarm;

[0066] If a missing bolt is detected, the line will be stopped to find the missing bolt. The program is tightened to prevent new employees from making mistakes or missing bolts.

[0067] Step S50, determining the tightening result according to the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, and the tightening torque and bolt rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened.

[0068] It should be noted that when evaluating the tightening results, check whether the torque and angle are within the monitoring range. After the tightening process is completed, record all tightening data, including torque, angle, time, etc., to facilitate subsequent data analysis and quality control. Any abnormal conditions during the tightening process should also be recorded, such as tool failure, operating errors, etc.

[0069] It should be understood that as long as the tool does not loosen and need repair after tightening NG, the servo tool will directly alarm to intercept.

[0070] In a feasible implementation, step S50 may include step A11:

[0071] Step A11: When the first tightening torque of the bolt to be tightened meets the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the second tightening torque meets the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the rotation angle of the first bolt meets the preset angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, and the rotation angle of the second bolt meets the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the tightening result is determined to be qualified, and the tightening point number of the equipment to be tightened is recorded plus 1.

[0072] In a specific implementation, when the initial stage torque, final tightening stage torque, initial stage rotation angle, and final tightening stage rotation angle are all within a preset range, the tightening is determined to be qualified, and valid data is recorded at this time, and the tightening point is recorded plus 1.

[0073] In a feasible implementation, step S420 may include steps A21 to A22:

[0074] Step A21: when the first tightening torque of the bolt to be tightened satisfies the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the second tightening torque satisfies the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the rotation angle of the first bolt does not satisfy the preset first monitoring stage angle monitoring range and the second bolt rotation angle does not satisfy the second monitoring stage angle monitoring range, or the rotation angle of the first bolt satisfies the preset first monitoring stage angle monitoring range and the second bolt rotation angle does not satisfy the second monitoring stage angle monitoring range, it is determined that the tightening of the bolt to be tightened fails;

[0075] Step A22: Reverse the tightening tool and re-execute the tightening process after loosening the bolt to be tightened.

[0076] In a specific implementation, when the torque in the initial stage meets the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque in the final tightening stage meets the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, and the rotation angle of the bolt in the initial stage meets the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, but the rotation angle of the bolt in the final tightening stage does not meet the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, tightening NG is determined, and the tightening tool needs to be reversed to re-perform the tightening process;

[0077] Or when the torque in the initial stage meets the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque in the final tightening stage meets the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the angle of the bolt in the initial stage meets the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage but the angle of the bolt in the final tightening stage does not meet the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, it is determined that tightening is NG, and the tightening tool needs to be reversed and the tightening process needs to be repeated.

[0078] In a feasible implementation, step S420 may include steps A31 to A32:

[0079] Step A31: when the first tightening torque of the bolt to be tightened does not satisfy the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage and / or the second tightening torque does not satisfy the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage and the rotation angle of the first bolt does not satisfy the preset angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage and the rotation angle of the second bolt satisfies the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, it is determined that the bolt to be tightened is to be tightened repeatedly;

[0080] Step A32: Reverse the tightening tool and re-execute the tightening process after loosening the bolt to be tightened.

[0081] In the specific implementation, when the torque in the initial stage does not meet the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque in the final tightening stage meets the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the angle of the bolt in the initial stage does not meet the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage but the angle of the bolt in the final tightening stage meets the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, it is determined that the bolt to be tightened needs to be tightened repeatedly. At this time, the data is invalid data and the tightening tool needs to be reversed to repeat the tightening process.

[0082] like Figure 2 As shown, the complete process of this scheme is to turn off the anti-loosening function of the qualified tightening tool, then set the tightening program, and formulate a two-stage monitoring program, including torque monitoring and angle monitoring in the initial stage, torque monitoring and angle monitoring in the final tightening stage, and then start the tightening process. At this time, the tightening torque and bolt rotation angle of each stage are recorded to obtain the tightening result. When the torque and the initial stage rotation angle of the bolt are not satisfied and the final tightening stage rotation angle is within the specified range, it is judged that the tightening is repeated and invalid data. At this time, the tool can be reversed and the tightening process is repeated for the unqualified bolt. When the torque is satisfied and the initial angle monitoring is satisfied, the final tightening angle monitoring is not satisfied, or the torque is satisfied and the initial angle monitoring and the final tightening angle monitoring are satisfied, it is judged that the tightening is NG, that is, the tightening fails. At this time, the tool can be reversed and the tightening process is repeated for the unqualified bolt. When the torque and the initial stage rotation angle of the bolt and the final tightening stage rotation angle are within the specified range, the tightening is judged to be qualified and recorded as valid data, and the tightening point is increased by 1. At this time, the tool cannot be reversed. If it is detected that the tool is reversed, an alarm is issued.

[0083] This embodiment provides a method for preventing errors in bolt tightening, which includes obtaining equipment information; determining the target tightening torque and target rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened based on the equipment information; determining the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, and the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage based on the target tightening torque and the target rotation angle; starting the tightening process, obtaining the tightening torque and the bolt rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened; determining the tightening result based on the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, and the tightening torque and the bolt rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened, so as to solve the problem of wrong tightening and missed tightening caused by the difference in angle monitoring when tightening materials of different hardness. Various missed tightening and wrong tightening can be effectively intercepted in real time and ensure that the fault does not flow out of the operating station.

[0084] Based on the first embodiment of the present application, in the second embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above-mentioned embodiment 1 can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be repeated in the following. Figure 3 , step S40, including steps S401 to S402:

[0085] Step S401, determining the tightening order of each bolt to be tightened based on the equipment information;

[0086] It should be understood that the tightening sequence of each bolt to be tightened is determined to ensure the integrity and stability of the structure. In some cases, the tightening sequence of the bolts is critical to avoid deformation or damage to the components.

[0087] Step S402, executing a tightening process for the bolts to be tightened according to the tightening sequence.

[0088] In a specific implementation, for example, the normal tightening sequence is 1-2-3-4-5. If the employee does not perform the operation in the sequence, such as tightening according to 4-5-3-2-1, the angle monitoring program can directly intercept it.

[0089] In a feasible implementation, step S402 may include step A41:

[0090] Step A41: When it is detected that the target bolt to be tightened does not execute the tightening process according to the tightening sequence, the tightening process is intercepted by the tightening program.

[0091] In specific implementation, the intelligent tightening monitoring system can monitor the status of the tightening equipment in real time. Once a tightening sequence error or equipment failure is detected, the system can immediately respond and display the fault information, thereby quickly locating and solving the problem. This real-time monitoring capability greatly improves production efficiency and the stability of tightening quality.

[0092] This embodiment provides a method for preventing errors in bolt tightening. By precisely controlling tightening parameters, optimizing the tightening sequence, continuously monitoring the tightening process, recording tightening data and other measures, the stability and safety of the structure, production efficiency, consistency of tightening quality, reliability and durability of the product can be significantly improved, while reducing material waste and costs and improving the convenience and flexibility of operation.

[0093] Based on the first and second embodiments of the present application, in the third embodiment of the present application, the same or similar contents as those in the above embodiments can be referred to the above introduction, and will not be described in detail later. Figure 4 , step S40, further comprising steps S410 to S420:

[0094] Step S410, determining a target tightening torque and a target rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened based on the equipment information;

[0095] It should be noted that the target tightening torque and target rotation angle required for each bolt can be determined by analyzing the design scheme, material properties, load requirements, etc. of the equipment; considering the size, material, strength grade and thread type of the bolt; considering the material and surface treatment of the connected parts.

[0096] In the specific implementation, it can be assumed that the target tightening torque is 50Nm; the torque monitoring range of the tightening procedure in the initial stage: 0~15Nm (below 30%); the torque monitoring range of the tightening procedure in the final tightening stage: 30~50Nm (above 50%); the angle monitoring range of the tightening procedure in the initial stage is 20°~40°; the angle monitoring range of the tightening procedure in the final tightening stage is 60°~80°; among them, when the bolt begins to contact and is initially tightened, the bolt usually rotates about 20° to 40°. This range should cover the initial tightening angle changes of the bolt under most normal circumstances. For the final tightening stage, when the bolt approaches the target torque, the angle at which the bolt continues to rotate should be smaller, but a certain angle is still required to ensure that the bolt reaches the correct preload, so the monitoring angle range is smaller than the initial stage.

[0097] Step S420, determining the tightening torque and the bolt rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened according to the target tightening torque and the target rotation angle includes: a first tightening torque, a first bolt rotation angle, a second tightening torque and a second bolt rotation angle.

[0098] It should be understood that the first tightening torque is monitored in the initial tightening stage, the purpose of which is to make the bolt reach a certain pre-tightening force. The torque at this stage is usually lower to avoid over-tightening.

[0099] The first bolt rotation angle is the bolt rotation angle after the first tightening torque is reached to ensure the consistency of the preload force.

[0100] The second tightening torque is after the first tightening stage, further increasing the torque to the final target torque to meet the designed preload requirements.

[0101] The second bolt rotation angle is the final angle to which the bolt is rotated after the second tightening torque is reached, ensuring that the bolt is tightened to a precise position.

[0102] It should be noted that if the monitoring data during the tightening process exceeds the preset range, the system will automatically stop the tightening process and issue an alarm to facilitate problem diagnosis and correction.

[0103] This embodiment provides a method for preventing errors in bolt tightening, which can significantly improve the accuracy and consistency of tightening operations by accurately setting the target tightening torque and angle of each bolt and refining each stage in the tightening process (such as the first tightening torque, the first bolt rotation angle, the second tightening torque, and the second bolt rotation angle). This precise control helps ensure that each bolt is tightened to the appropriate preload, thereby improving the quality and reliability of the entire structure.

[0104] It should be noted that the above examples are only used to understand the present application and do not constitute a limitation on the error-proofing method for bolt tightening of the present application. More simple transformations based on this technical concept are all within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0105] This application also provides a bolt tightening error prevention device, please refer to Figure 5 , the bolt tightening error-proofing device comprises:

[0106] The information acquisition module 10 is used to acquire device information; determine the target tightening torque and target rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened based on the device information;

[0107] A monitoring module 20, for determining a first monitoring stage angle monitoring range, a first monitoring stage torque monitoring range, a second monitoring stage angle monitoring range, and a second monitoring stage torque monitoring range based on a target tightening torque and a target rotation angle;

[0108] The tightening module 30 is used to start the tightening process and obtain the tightening torque and the bolt rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened;

[0109] The judgment module 40 is used to determine the tightening result according to the angle monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the first monitoring stage, the angle monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, the torque monitoring range of the second monitoring stage, and the tightening torque and bolt rotation angle of each bolt to be tightened.
