Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of air intake grille blade assembly, and in particular relates to an air intake grille blade assembly component with an obstacle avoidance alignment mechanism. Background Art

[0002] Grille vanes with an obstacle avoidance mechanism are an advanced automotive component design. This mechanism uses sensors to monitor the vehicle's forward environment in real time. When an obstacle is detected, the drive motor rapidly adjusts the vane's angle and position based on the sensor data to avoid collision. This mechanism not only improves vehicle safety but also enhances the durability and reliability of the grille. To ensure rapid triggering of the obstacle avoidance mechanism, the grille vanes must maintain high strength and low weight. Therefore, the grille vanes with an obstacle avoidance mechanism feature a separate housing and frame, with the vanes assembled via snaps on the housing that engage with the frame.

[0003] During grille blade assembly, the frame connection end must first be tilted and snapped into the housing slot, then the other end of the frame must be pressed to engage the housing. During the automated assembly of air grille blades, the assembly of the blade housing and frame is difficult due to the relatively simple drive path of the assembly components. During grille blade production, to ensure the strength of the connection between the blade housing and the frame, the length of the frame connection is greater than the distance between the buckles on the housing. This interference fit between the housing and the frame ensures the connection strength, thereby ensuring the overall strength of the grille blade. This undoubtedly significantly increases the difficulty of grille blade assembly. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to address the shortcomings of the prior art and provide an air intake grille blade assembly with an obstacle avoidance alignment mechanism to solve the technical problems in the prior art.

[0005] The objectives of the present invention can be achieved through the following technical solutions: an air intake grille blade assembly assembly with an obstacle avoidance alignment mechanism, comprising a workbench and an assembly guide assembly mounted thereon, a support frame mounted on the assembly guide assembly, a lifting cylinder mounted on the support frame, a shell assembly placed on the workbench, a skeleton assembly placed on the assembly guide assembly, the shell assembly corresponding to the skeleton assembly, an output end of the lifting cylinder connected to an assembly assembly, and the assembly assembly pressing the skeleton assembly;

[0006] The assembly assembly includes a lifting plate and a long plate and a short plate slidably mounted thereon, the long plate and the short plate being aligned with both sides of the frame assembly respectively, the long plate and the short plate pressing the frame assembly via a rotatably adjustable vacuum suction cup, and the vacuum suction cup adsorbing the frame assembly;

[0007] The long board and the short board are both equipped with rack plates, a large gear is rotatably installed in the lifting board, the large gear is engaged with the rack plate, a transmission motor is installed on the lifting board, and the transmission motor is connected to the small gear through the transmission gear.

[0008] As a further optimization or improvement of this solution, the skeleton assembly includes a skeleton plate, side plates are installed on the skeleton plate, couplings are installed on the side plates, reinforcing ribs are installed horizontally on the skeleton plate, and longitudinal supports are installed longitudinally on the skeleton plate.

[0009] As a further optimization or improvement of this solution, the housing assembly includes a housing plate and a tail end clamp and a head end clamp installed at both ends.

[0010] As a further optimization or improvement of this solution, the assembly guide component includes a support plate and a vertical groove opened thereon, a return spring is installed inside the vertical groove, the return spring is connected to the rotating table, and the coupling is placed on the rotating table.

[0011] As a further optimization or improvement of this solution, a clamping plate is installed on the workbench, and the shell assembly is placed on the clamping plate.

[0012] As a further optimization or improvement of this solution, the support frame is connected to the lifting plate via a guide rod.

[0013] As a further optimization or improvement of this solution, sliding grooves are opened on both sides of the lifting plate, the long plate and the short plate slide in the sliding grooves respectively, the small gear is coaxially installed with the large gear, the transmission motor is connected to the large gear through the transmission gear, and the long plate and the short plate are connected to the vacuum suction cup through a rotating shaft.

[0014] Beneficial effects of the present invention:

[0015] (1) The assembly components are driven downward as a whole by the lifting cylinder. During this process, the long plate first contacts the front end of the frame plate and presses the frame plate, so that the frame plate drives the rotating table to move down along the vertical slot through the coupling. The reset spring is compressed. As the long plate presses the frame plate and the reset spring resistance acts, the frame plate rotates, so that the rear end of the frame plate contacts the short plate. At this time, under the action of the long plate and the short plate, the frame plate angle is tilted and fixed, so that the frame plate is tilted and presents an angle that is easy to install. At this angle, the front end of the frame plate can be directly clamped into the rear end clamp on the shell plate without interference.

[0016] Specifically, the long plate and the short plate push the skeleton plate toward the outer shell plate. When the head end of the skeleton plate is stuck in the tail end clamp, the vacuum suction cups on the long plate and the short plate start and adsorb and fix the two ends of the skeleton plate. Then the transmission motor starts, and the transmission motor drives the long plate and the short plate to move in opposite directions through the small gear. The long plate drives the head end of the skeleton plate to move upward, and the short plate drives the tail end of the skeleton plate to move downward, so that the skeleton plate is bent and deformed as a whole, temporarily reducing the length of the connecting end of the skeleton plate. At the same time, the lifting cylinder drives the skeleton plate toward the outer shell plate through the long plate and the short plate, so that the tail end of the short plate is stuck in the head end clamp, completing the interference fit assembly of the skeleton assembly and the outer shell assembly.

[0017] (2) When the shell assembly and the skeleton assembly in the present invention are assembled, the lifting cylinder drives the assembly assembly to reset, and the reset spring rebounds to drive the assembly part to move upward, making it convenient for the staff to observe the assembly status and remove it.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making any creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0027] See also Figures 1-6 An air intake grille blade assembly assembly with an obstacle avoidance and alignment mechanism includes a workbench 1 and an assembly guide assembly 2 mounted thereon, a support frame 3 mounted on the assembly guide assembly 2, a lifting cylinder 4 mounted on the support frame 3, a shell assembly 6 placed on the workbench 1, a skeleton assembly 7 placed on the assembly guide assembly 2, and the shell assembly 6 corresponds to the skeleton assembly 7, the output end of the lifting cylinder 4 is connected to the assembly assembly 8, and the assembly assembly 8 presses the skeleton assembly 7;

[0028] The assembly component 8 includes a lifting plate 801 and a long plate 802 and a short plate 803 slidably mounted thereon. The long plate 802 and the short plate 803 are aligned with both sides of the frame component 7 respectively. The long plate 802 and the short plate 803 press the frame component 7 through a rotatable and adjustable vacuum suction cup 805, and the vacuum suction cup 805 adsorbs the frame component 7.

[0029] The long plate 802 and the short plate 803 are both installed with a rack plate 806, and a large gear 811 is rotatably installed in the lifting plate 801, and the large gear 811 is engaged with the rack plate 806. A transmission motor 808 is installed on the lifting plate 801, and the transmission motor 808 is connected to the small gear 810 through a transmission gear 809.

[0030] Specifically, the lifting plate 801 has sliding grooves 807 on both sides, the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 slide in the sliding grooves 807 respectively, the small gear 810 is coaxially installed with the large gear 811, the transmission motor 808 is connected to the large gear 811 through the transmission gear 809, and the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 are connected to the vacuum suction cup 805 through the rotating shaft 804.

[0031] It should be noted that if the air intake grille collides with an obstacle, the interference fit between the outer shell assembly 6 and the frame assembly 7 ensures the connection strength between the outer shell assembly 6 and the frame assembly 7, and the collision force can be effectively transmitted through the outer shell assembly 6 to the frame assembly 7, thus achieving a protective function. A shielding cover is provided on the large gear 811 to protect the transmission connection between the large gear 811 and the transmission motor 808.

[0032] When the present invention is in use, the shell assembly 6 is placed on the clamping plate 5, and the shell assembly 6 is fixed by the clamping plate 5. Then the coupling 705 is placed on the rotating table 204 and the frame assembly 7 is aligned with the shell assembly 6. The lifting cylinder 4 is started, and the lifting cylinder 4 drives the assembly assembly 8 to move downward as a whole. During this process, the long plate 802 first contacts the head end of the frame plate 701 and presses the frame plate 701, so that the frame plate 701 drives the rotating table 204 to move downward along the vertical slot 202 through the coupling 705, and resets The spring 203 is compressed. As the long plate 802 presses the frame plate 701 and the return spring 203 resists, the frame plate 701 rotates, causing the rear end of the frame plate 701 to contact the short plate 803. At this time, under the action of the long plate 802 and the short plate 803, the frame plate 701 is tilted and fixed, so that the frame plate 701 is tilted and presents an angle that is easy to install. At this angle, the front end of the frame plate 701 can be directly clipped into the rear end clip 602 on the shell plate 601 without interference.

[0033] Then the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 push the skeleton plate 701 onto the shell plate 601. When the head end of the skeleton plate 701 is stuck in the tail end clamp 602, the vacuum suction cups 805 on the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 are started and absorb and fix the two ends of the skeleton plate 701. Then the transmission motor 808 is started, and the transmission motor 808 drives the small gear 810 to rotate through the transmission gear 809 and the large gear 811. The small gear 810 engages with the rack plate 806 on the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 to drive the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 to rotate. Moving in the opposite direction, the long plate 802 drives the front end of the skeleton plate 701 to move upward, and the short plate 803 drives the rear end of the skeleton plate 701 to move downward, so that the skeleton plate 701 is bent and deformed as a whole, temporarily reducing the length of the connecting end of the skeleton plate 701. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the skeleton plate 701 toward the outer shell plate 601 through the long plate 802 and the short plate 803, so that the rear end of the short plate 803 is stuck in the front end clamp 603, completing the assembly of the skeleton component 7 and the outer shell component 6. Then close the vacuum suction cup 805, and drive the assembly component 8 to move upward as a whole through the lifting cylinder 4.

[0035] Specifically, the housing assembly 6 includes a housing plate 601 and a tail end clamp 602 and a head end clamp 603 installed at both ends.

[0036] It should be noted that the reinforcing ribs 702 and the longitudinal support members 703 can ensure the strength of the assembly, and the coupling 705 is used to connect the assembled motor.

[0037] See also Figure 1-Figure 2 The assembly guide component 2 includes a support plate 201 and a vertical slot 202 opened thereon, a return spring 203 is installed inside the vertical slot 202, the return spring 203 is connected to the rotating table 204, and the coupling 705 is placed on the rotating table 204.

[0038] It should be noted that after the assembly of the shell component 6 and the skeleton component 7 is completed, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the assembly component 8 to reset, and the reset spring 203 rebounds to drive the assembly part to move upward, making it convenient for the staff to observe the assembly status and remove it.

[0039] See also Figure 5 A clamping plate 5 is installed on the workbench 1 , and a shell assembly 6 is placed on the clamping plate 5 .

[0040] Specifically, the support frame 3 is connected to the lifting plate 801 through the guide rod 9.

[0041] It should be noted that a clamping cylinder is installed on the clamping plate 5 for clamping and fixing the housing assembly 6; the guide rod 9 is used to guide the assembly assembly 8 during movement.

[0042] The implementation principle of the present invention is:

[0043] When the present invention is in use, the shell assembly 6 is placed on the splint 5, and the shell assembly 6 is fixed by the splint 5, then the coupling 705 is placed on the rotating table 204 and the frame assembly 7 is aligned with the shell assembly 6, the lifting cylinder 4 is started, and the lifting cylinder 4 drives the assembly assembly 8 to move downward as a whole. During this process, the long plate 802 first contacts the head end of the frame plate 701 and presses the frame plate 701, so that the frame plate 701 drives the rotating table 204 along the vertical slot 202 through the coupling 705. The long plate 802 presses the frame plate 701, and the return spring 203 is compressed. As the long plate 802 presses the frame plate 701 and the return spring 203 resists, the frame plate 701 rotates, so that the tail end of the frame plate 701 contacts the short plate 803. At this time, under the action of the long plate 802 and the short plate 803, the frame plate 701 is tilted and fixed, so that the frame plate 701 is tilted and presents an angle that is easy to install. At this angle, the head end of the frame plate 701 can be directly clamped into the tail end clamp 602 on the shell plate 601 without interference.

[0044] Then the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 push the skeleton plate 701 onto the shell plate 601. When the head end of the skeleton plate 701 is stuck in the tail end clamp 602, the vacuum suction cups 805 on the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 are started and absorb and fix the two ends of the skeleton plate 701. Then the transmission motor 808 is started, and the transmission motor 808 drives the small gear 810 to rotate through the transmission gear 809 and the large gear 811. The small gear 810 engages with the rack plate 806 on the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 to drive the long plate 802 and the short plate 803 to rotate. Moving in the opposite direction, the long plate 802 drives the front end of the skeleton plate 701 to move upward, and the short plate 803 drives the rear end of the skeleton plate 701 to move downward, so that the skeleton plate 701 is bent and deformed as a whole, temporarily reducing the length of the connecting end of the skeleton plate 701. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the skeleton plate 701 toward the outer shell plate 601 through the long plate 802 and the short plate 803, so that the rear end of the short plate 803 is stuck in the front end clamp 603, completing the assembly of the skeleton component 7 and the outer shell component 6. Then close the vacuum suction cup 805, and drive the assembly component 8 to move upward as a whole through the lifting cylinder 4.

[0045] After the assembly of the shell component 6 and the frame component 7 is completed, the lifting cylinder 4 drives the assembly component 8 to reset, and the reset spring 203 rebounds to drive the assembly part to move upward, making it convenient for the staff to observe the assembly status and remove it.
