[0001] This invention relates to the field of intelligent assembly technology for commercial vehicles, and more specifically, to a heat insulation pad assembly system. Background Technology
[0002] On traditional commercial vehicle manufacturing assembly lines, the installation of heat insulation pads is usually done manually by workers, including steps such as handling, positioning, fixing, and tightening nuts. This method has disadvantages such as high labor intensity, low efficiency, and inconsistent assembly accuracy. The challenges of manual assembly are particularly significant for the installation of left and right heat insulation pads due to space constraints and operational complexity.
[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the aforementioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a heat insulation pad assembly system to solve the problems of low installation efficiency and high cost of left and right heat insulation pads in commercial vehicles in the prior art.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, a heat insulation pad assembly system is provided, comprising: a feeding base disposed near a heat insulation pad feeding station; a feeding mechanism movably disposed on the feeding base, the feeding mechanism including a gripping fixture having two gripping ends disposed opposite to each other, each gripping end being provided with a plurality of gripping components for gripping the heat insulation pad; the plurality of gripping components located at one of the gripping ends being used to grip a left heat insulation pad, and the plurality of gripping components located at the other gripping end being used to grip a right heat insulation pad.
[0006] Furthermore, the gripping assembly includes a gripping suction cup disposed on the gripping fixture, the gripping suction cup having an adsorption state in which it is adsorbed and connected to the heat insulation pad, and a separation state in which it is separated from the heat insulation pad.
[0007] Furthermore, the gripping assembly also includes a support member disposed on the gripping fixture. The support member is disposed close to the gripping suction cup. When the gripping suction cup is in the adsorption state, the support member abuts against the heat insulation pad to support the heat insulation pad.
[0008] Furthermore, the gripping fixture is also equipped with multiple positioning components, with at least one positioning component on each gripping end. The positioning components are used to grip and position the heat insulation pad.
[0009] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad has a positioning hole, and the positioning component includes a positioning post, which has a connection position that mates with the positioning hole, and a clearance position that separates the positioning hole from the positioning post.
[0010] Furthermore, the gripping fixture includes a support body, with gripping ends formed at opposite ends of the support body along a first preset direction, and multiple gripping components spaced apart along a second preset direction on any one gripping end.
[0011] Furthermore, the support body includes: a first support, a plurality of first supports forming a frame structure, the frame structure extending along a first preset direction, the frame structure having a gripping end; a second support, the second support being disposed on the frame of the frame structure and perpendicularly connected to the frame structure, the second support extending along a third preset direction; wherein, the frame structure and the second support form a gripping end.
[0012] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a visual positioning mechanism, which is movably mounted on the feeding base and is used to obtain the initial position information of the heat insulation pad.
[0013] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a fastening mechanism, which is movably mounted on the feeding base and is used to assemble the heat insulation pad.
[0014] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes: a first robotic arm, the first end of which is disposed on the loading base, and the second end of which is connected to the gripping fixture; and a second robotic arm, the first end of which is disposed on the loading base, and the second end of which is provided with a fastening mechanism and a vision positioning mechanism.
[0015] By applying the technical solution of this invention, the feeding mechanism uses a gripping fixture for gripping and feeding. The two sides of the gripping fixture are set as gripping ends, and multiple gripping components are set on each gripping end. By gripping the heat insulation pad with multiple gripping components, the problem of unstable gripping and large load caused by the traditional feeding components using hook cylinders and shrink machines to grip the heat insulation pad with heavy single point can be avoided. At the same time, the automated gripping and feeding of heat insulation pads improves production efficiency, avoids the deviation caused by manual operation, and improves the assembly accuracy of heat insulation pads.

[0044] Exemplary embodiments according to this application will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, these exemplary embodiments may be implemented in many different forms and should not be construed as being limited to the embodiments set forth herein. It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and that the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully conveyed to those skilled in the art. In the drawings, for clarity, the thickness of layers and regions may be exaggerated, and the same reference numerals are used to denote the same devices, and therefore their description will be omitted.
[0045] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a heat insulation pad assembly system is provided.
[0046] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the heat insulation pad assembly system includes a feeding base 1 and a feeding mechanism 2. The feeding base 1 is located near the heat insulation pad feeding station. The feeding mechanism 2 is movably mounted on the feeding base 1. The feeding mechanism 2 includes a gripping fixture 20, which has two gripping ends arranged opposite to each other. Each gripping end is provided with multiple gripping components 21, which are used to grip the heat insulation pad 3. The multiple gripping components 21 located at one of the gripping ends are used to grip the left heat insulation pad, and the multiple gripping components 21 located at the other gripping end are used to grip the right heat insulation pad.
[0047] Applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 uses a gripping fixture 20 for gripping and feeding. The two sides of the gripping fixture 20 are set as gripping ends, and multiple gripping components 21 are set on each gripping end. By gripping the heat insulation pad 3 through multiple gripping components 21, the problem of unstable gripping of the heat insulation pad 3 and large load caused by the traditional feeding fixture using hook cylinders and shrink machines to grip the heat insulation pad at a single point with heavy weight can be avoided. At the same time, the automated gripping and feeding of the heat insulation pad 3 improves production efficiency, avoids the deviation caused by manual operation, and improves the assembly accuracy of the heat insulation pad.
[0048] In this embodiment, a gripping fixture 20 can be equipped with multiple gripping ends, each of which can grip one heat insulation pad 3 through multiple gripping components 21. This allows for the simultaneous gripping of both the left and right heat insulation pads, facilitating subsequent assembly of the left and right heat insulation pads, significantly shortening assembly time, and improving assembly efficiency. Simultaneously, the feeding mechanism 2 is movably mounted on the feeding base 1. On one hand, the feeding base 1 provides stable support; on the other hand, the flexible movement of the feeding mechanism 2 allows the gripping fixture 20 to have omnidirectional freedom of movement, enabling precise gripping of the heat insulation pad 3 and improving the efficiency and accuracy of heat insulation pad gripping.
[0049] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, the gripping assembly 21 includes a gripping suction cup 211 disposed on the gripping fixture 20. The gripping suction cup 211 has an adsorption state where it is adsorbed and connected to the heat insulation pad 3, and a separation state where it is separated from the heat insulation pad 3. The gripping suction cup 211 grips the heat insulation pad 3 using a vacuum principle. When the heat insulation pad 3 needs to be gripped, a negative pressure is formed inside the gripping suction cup 211, thereby adsorbing the heat insulation pad 3 onto the gripping suction cup 211, achieving the gripping state. When the gripping suction cup 211 needs to release the heat insulation pad 3, the gripping suction cup 211 is inflated, restoring the internal pressure of the gripping suction cup 211 to atmospheric pressure. At this time, the gripping suction cup 211 separates from the heat insulation pad 3, and the heat insulation pad 3 is placed in a predetermined assembly position, completing the release of the heat insulation pad 3.
[0050] It should be noted that the gripping suction cup 211 ensures the stability and positioning accuracy of the heat insulation pad 3 during assembly, thereby improving the overall assembly quality and production efficiency. Furthermore, the design of the gripping suction cup 211 also takes into account the special material of the heat insulation pad 3, preventing damage to the heat insulation pad 3 during gripping.
[0051] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the gripping assembly 21 also includes a support member 212 disposed on the gripping fixture 20. The support member 212 is positioned close to the gripping suction cup 211. When the gripping suction cup 211 is in the adsorption state, the support member 212 abuts against the heat insulation pad 3 to support the heat insulation pad 3. The design of the support member 212 further enhances the stability and safety of the heat insulation pad 3 during the gripping process. Through the coordinated work of the support member 212 and the gripping suction cup 211, it can be ensured that the heat insulation pad is effectively supported at every step from being removed from the material rack to installation. When the gripping suction cup 211 adsorbs the heat insulation pad 3, the support member 212 simultaneously contacts the heat insulation pad 3, providing a physical support point. This helps prevent the heat insulation pad from deforming or warping under the single action of the adsorption force of the gripping suction cup 211, which can significantly improve the stability of gripping and avoid the heat insulation pad 3 shaking during the loading and moving process after gripping.
[0052] It should be noted that, based on the material of the heat insulation pad 3, in order to ensure that the support member 212 and the heat insulation pad 3 are in non-rigid contact when the support member 212 supports the heat insulation pad 3, the material of the support member 212 can be set to the same material as the heat insulation pad 3 to avoid damage to the heat insulation pad 3 by the support member 212.
[0053] In this embodiment, by providing a support member 212, during the gripping and initial positioning stage of the heat insulation pad 3, the support member 212 can help the gripping suction cup 211 to be positioned more accurately by contacting the edge or specific structure of the heat insulation pad (i.e., the support member 212 also has the function of auxiliary positioning). In addition, the support member 212 provides support under the heat insulation pad 3, which can reduce the vertical load on the gripping fixture 20 when gripping the heat insulation pad 3. At this time, the weight of the heat insulation pad 3 is not only transmitted through the gripping suction cup 211, but also distributed to the structure of the gripping fixture 20 through the support member 212, thereby reducing the load capacity requirements of the gripping fixture 20.
[0054] Specifically, such as Figures 2 to 6 As shown, the gripping fixture 20 is also equipped with multiple positioning components 22, with at least one positioning component 22 on each gripping end. The positioning components 22 are used to grip and position the heat insulation pad 3. By cooperating with specific geometric features (such as holes, edges, protrusions, etc.) on the heat insulation pad 3, the positioning components 22 can achieve precise positioning of the heat insulation pad 3 in three-dimensional space. During the gripping process, before or simultaneously with the gripping suction cup 211 adsorbing the heat insulation pad 3, the positioning components 22 will first contact the heat insulation pad 3 for preliminary positioning, ensuring that the heat insulation pad 3 is in the correct position when gripped, thus avoiding displacement during the gripping process.
[0055] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad 3 has positioning holes, and the positioning component 22 includes a positioning post 221. The positioning post 221 has a connection position that mates with the positioning hole, and a clearance position that separates it from the positioning hole. Through the efficient cooperation between the positioning hole and the positioning post 221, the automation level and assembly accuracy of the heat insulation pad 3 loading equipment assembly process can be significantly improved, reducing the need for manual operation and lowering the risk of assembly errors. When the heat insulation pad 3 is initially positioned or installed, the positioning post 221 moves to the connection position, aligns with the positioning hole on the heat insulation pad 3, and inserts, forming a mechanical alignment to ensure the stability and positioning accuracy of the heat insulation pad during the gripping process. When the heat insulation pad 3 is placed in the final assembly position, the positioning post 221 switches to the clearance position to avoid interference between the heat insulation pad 3 and other mechanical components.
[0056] Optionally, the positioning post 221 can be a telescopic pin structure, a magnetic positioning post structure, or a pneumatic or hydraulic positioning post structure. Preferably, the positioning post 221 adopts a telescopic pin structure, which is simple in structure and low in cost.
[0057] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As shown, the gripping fixture 20 includes a support body 200. Along a first preset direction, gripping ends are formed at opposite ends of the support body 200. On any one gripping end, multiple gripping components 21 are spaced apart along a second preset direction. The gripping fixture 20 grips the heat insulation pad 3 by having the support body 200 support it, which can evenly distribute the load of the heat insulation pad 3 across the support body 200, improving the stability of gripping the heat insulation pad 3. Two gripping ends are formed on both sides of the support body 200. Each gripping end is spaced apart by multiple gripping components 21, ensuring that the heat insulation pad 3 can be simultaneously fixed at multiple points during gripping, increasing gripping stability. Furthermore, by adjusting the spacing between the gripping components 21, the weight concentration points of the heat insulation pad 3 can be gripped and supported according to its specific shape and center of gravity, further ensuring the stability of gripping the heat insulation pad 3.
[0058] It should be noted that the first preset direction is the thickness extension direction of the heat insulation pad 3 when it is gripped. The gripping ends can be set on both sides of the bracket body 200, and the two gripping ends are used to grip the left heat insulation pad and the right heat insulation pad, respectively. In this way, the left heat insulation pad and the right heat insulation pad can be gripped simultaneously by one gripping fixture 20, which improves the gripping efficiency of the heat insulation pad 3 and thus improves the overall assembly efficiency of the heat insulation pad 3. The second preset direction is the length extension direction of the heat insulation pad 3. When the gripping fixture 20 grips the left heat insulation pad or the right heat insulation pad, the second preset direction is adapted to the length extension direction of the left heat insulation pad and the right heat insulation pad, so as to facilitate the gripping of the left heat insulation pad or the right heat insulation pad.
[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 3, Figure 5 As shown, the support body 200 includes a first support 201 and a second support 202. Multiple first supports 201 form a frame structure, which extends along a first preset direction and has a gripping end. The second support 202 is mounted on the frame of the frame structure and perpendicularly connected to it, extending along a third preset direction. The multiple first supports 201 together constitute a frame structure, providing sufficient strength and stability to support the weight of the entire gripping fixture 20. The frame structure extending along the first preset direction ensures smooth gripping and placement of the heat insulation pad 3. The perpendicular connection of the second support 202 to the first support 201 provides additional support points for gripping the heat insulation pad 3, enhancing the structural stability of the entire gripping fixture 20.
[0060] It should be noted that the third preset direction is the width extension direction of the heat insulation pad. The gripping ends of the second bracket 202 and the first bracket 201 can work together to grip the heat insulation pad 3. The second bracket 202 can enhance the stability of the gripping end gripping the heat insulation pad 3.
[0061] In one embodiment of this application, the second support 202 may also be provided with a gripping component 21, which grips the heat insulation pad 3 from the third preset direction and the second preset direction respectively, based on the shape of the left heat insulation pad and the right heat insulation pad, so as to achieve the best gripping effect.
[0062] In this embodiment, through the double-layer support design consisting of the first bracket 201 and the second bracket 202, the bracket body 200 can provide precise gripping and positioning functions while ensuring structural strength, thus meeting the high-precision requirements of automated assembly processes.
[0063] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a visual positioning mechanism 4, which is movably mounted on the loading base 1. The visual positioning mechanism 4 is used to acquire the initial position information of the heat insulation pad 3. The visual positioning mechanism 4 is mounted on the loading base 1 and is movably mounted, meaning it can adjust its position and angle as needed. This design flexibility allows the visual positioning mechanism to more accurately align with the heat insulation pad and scan from the optimal angle, thereby improving positioning accuracy. The visual positioning mechanism is used to determine the position of the heat insulation pad 3 and its assembly position. Image analysis by the visual positioning mechanism identifies feature points of the heat insulation pad, such as holes and edges, to ensure that the position of the heat insulation pad 3 is consistent with the expectation during gripping, avoiding positional deviations during the gripping process. The visual positioning mechanism can also identify the assembly position of the heat insulation pad 3 and determine the precise coordinates of the assembly position to accurately align with the assembly position for subsequent assembly operations.
[0064] In one embodiment of this application, the visual positioning mechanism 4 includes at least one 3D (Three-Dimensional) camera. The 3D camera can perform high-precision scanning and identification of the left and right heat insulation pads, acquiring information such as their position, orientation, and posture in space. The data provided by the visual positioning mechanism 4 not only optimizes the gripping of the heat insulation pad 3 but also further optimizes its assembly process. Simultaneously, the visual positioning mechanism 4 is connected to the gripping fixture 20 through an integrated control system. This control system can process and analyze sensor data, adjusting the position of the visual positioning mechanism 4 in real time, facilitating a highly efficient automated assembly process.
[0065] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a fastening mechanism 5, which is movably mounted on the loading base 1. The fastening mechanism 5 is used to assemble the heat insulation pad 3. The fastening mechanism 5 can move in multiple directions to adapt to the assembly requirements of the heat insulation pad 3 at different positions and angles. This highly flexible configuration ensures that the fastening mechanism 5 is accurately aligned with the fixing points on the heat insulation pad 3 and with the studs and other components at the assembly position of the heat insulation pad 3, thereby achieving precise assembly. After the fastening mechanism 5 is aligned, the next assembly operation can be carried out to stably fix the heat insulation pad 3 at the assembly position at the bottom of the cab.
[0066] It should be noted that the fastening mechanism 5 can work in conjunction with the vision positioning mechanism 4. By using the position information of the heat insulation pad 3 provided by the vision positioning mechanism 4, the fastening mechanism 5 can be controlled to accurately locate the stud or fixing point, thereby achieving automated fastening operations without manual intervention.
[0067] In one embodiment of this application, the heat insulation pad assembly system further includes a material preparation mechanism 6, which is disposed on the loading base 1. The material preparation mechanism 6 is used to store fastening materials, which are used to fasten the heat insulation pad 3. By placing the material preparation mechanism 6 on the loading base 1, it can be used to supply materials to the fastening mechanism 5, improving assembly efficiency. The material preparation mechanism 6 has a dedicated storage area for storing assembly materials such as nuts and washers. By connecting to the fastening mechanism 5, the material preparation mechanism 6 can automatically provide assembly materials to the fastening mechanism 5. The material preparation mechanism 6 is highly integrated with system components such as the loading base 1, the vision positioning mechanism 4, and the fastening mechanism 5, forming a coordinated and operating whole, thus automating the assembly process.
[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 1As shown, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a first robotic arm 11 and a second robotic arm 12. The first end of the first robotic arm 11 is mounted on the loading base 1, and the second end of the first robotic arm 11 is connected to the gripping fixture 20. The first end of the second robotic arm 12 is mounted on the loading base 1, and the second end of the second robotic arm 12 is equipped with a fastening mechanism 5 and a vision positioning mechanism 4. The first ends of the first robotic arm 11 and the second robotic arm 12 are fixed on the loading base 1, ensuring the stability of the first robotic arm 11 and the second robotic arm 12. The first robotic arm 11 and the second robotic arm 12 work together to form a highly efficient heat insulation pad 3 assembly system. At the same time, the first robotic arm 11 and the second robotic arm 12 are highly integrated with system components such as the vision positioning mechanism 4, the material preparation mechanism 6, and the fastening mechanism 5. Through real-time data exchange and command control, the entire assembly process is automated and intelligent. Based on the heat insulation pad 3 position information and assembly position information provided by the vision positioning mechanism, and the fastening material provided by the material preparation mechanism 6, the gripping, positioning, and fastening operations are automatically performed to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the assembly process.
[0069] It should be noted that the visual positioning mechanism 4 can be mounted on the second robotic arm 12. That is, the second end of the second robotic arm 12 integrates both the visual positioning mechanism 4 and the fastening mechanism 5. This allows for real-time positioning and alignment of the heat insulation pad 3 directly at the assembly position, eliminating the need for additional movement steps to adjust the relative positions of the visual positioning mechanism 4 and the fastening mechanism 5, thereby improving assembly accuracy and speed. Because the visual positioning mechanism 4 and the fastening mechanism 5 are tightly integrated, the second robotic arm 12 can quickly respond to visual positioning data and instantly adjust the position and posture of the fastening mechanism 5, achieving rapid and precise fastening assembly, reducing waiting time during the assembly process, and improving overall efficiency.
[0070] In one embodiment of this application, the fastening mechanism 5 includes at least a tightening gun. The second end of the second robotic arm 12 is connected to the tightening gun, which is used to tighten the heat insulation pad 3. The tightening gun can be used individually or in combination to tighten the heat insulation pad 3. After the tightening gun is moved to the assembly position of the heat insulation pad 3 by the feeding base 1, it can automatically tighten the studs at the assembly position without manual operation, greatly improving the automation level of the assembly process. At the same time, the tightening gun can precisely control the tightening torque. Improper torque control can lead to screws or bolts being too tight or too loose, which may cause damage to parts, stress concentration, or instability of the assembled heat insulation pad 3. The tightening gun, through a built-in torque sensor or controller, can automatically adjust the tightening force according to different assembly requirements to ensure that the tightening strength meets the standards.
[0071] As can be seen from the above description, the heat insulation pad assembly system in the above embodiments can achieve the following technical effects: through the efficient cooperation between the heat insulation pad 3 feeding mechanism and the robotic arm, and the continuous automatic feeding of the gasket and nut, the assembly time is greatly shortened and the production efficiency is improved. The optimized design of the gripping fixture 20 and the robotic arm gripping strategy ensure the stability and positioning accuracy of the heat insulation pad 3 during the installation process, thereby improving the assembly quality.
