It should be understood that these embodiments are provided so that the disclosure of this application is thorough and complete, and the concept of these exemplary embodiments is fully communicated to those of ordinary skill 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 thus their description will be omitted.

[0034] Combined with Figures 1 to 5 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a cab heat insulation pad assembly system is provided.

[0035] The cab heat insulation pad assembly system includes: an assembly platform 10, which is movably arranged along a first direction. The assembly platform 10 has a working position that can move to the bottom space of the cab where the heat insulation pad is to be assembled. An insulation pad gripping mechanism 11 and a fitting tightening mechanism 12 are arranged on the assembly platform 10; a heat insulation pad feeding device 30, which is arranged at at least one end of the assembly platform 10 along a second direction. The heat insulation pad feeding device 30 stores heat insulation pads 31; a fitting feeding device 40, which is arranged on the assembly platform 10 and is movably arranged relative to the assembly platform 10 along the second direction. The fitting feeding device 40 stores assembly connectors for fastening the heat insulation pad 31 to the cab.

[0036] Applying the technical solution of the present invention, an insulation pad gripping mechanism 11 and a fitting tightening mechanism 12 are arranged on the assembly platform 10. The automatic tightening of nuts and gaskets is carried out by using the fitting tightening mechanism 12 to ensure assembly consistency. The assembly platform 10 can move to the working position along the first direction, and the heat insulation pad feeding device 30 is arranged at at least one end of the assembly platform 10 along the second direction. The fitting feeding device 40 can move along the second direction for feeding. Through the cooperation of these three working components, the working stroke range of the fitting tightening mechanism 12 is ensured, the structure is more compact, and automatic entry into the working station, automatic feeding, automatic material taking, and automatic assembly are realized. This feeding method also makes it unnecessary to design a telescopic structure of the fixture to avoid mechanical interference of different heat insulation pads, reduces the steps in the feeding process, and improves the feeding rate. This application solves the problem of the slow beat in the existing cab heat insulation pad assembly process.

[0037] The assembly connectors include nuts and nuts.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the assembly production line includes multiple workstations, and each workstation has a set of cab heat insulation pad assembly systems. For example, one of the two workstations is used for assembling left and right heat insulation pads, and the other of the two workstations is used for assembling front and rear heat insulation pads.

[0039] Furthermore, multiple mechanism workstations are arranged on the assembly platform 10, and each mechanism workstation is equipped with an independent insulation pad gripping mechanism 11 and a fitting tightening mechanism 12. This allows the system to process multiple heat insulation pads simultaneously, significantly improving the production beat.

[0040] Optionally, by introducing a 3D sensor and a vision recognition system, the exact position and shape of the cab are automatically detected to ensure the accurate gripping and installation of the heat insulation pad and the fitting. This avoids the pre-positioning of the cab, enhancing the automation level of the system and its ability to adapt to different cab designs.

[0041] Optionally, using a controller and software, the movement path and assembly sequence of the assembly platform 10 are programmed according to different cab models and heat insulation pad layouts. This enables the system to quickly adapt to changes on the production line without manual adjustment.

[0042] Optionally, the heat insulation pad feeding device 30 can be designed modularly, and the feeding module can be quickly replaced according to the type and size of the heat insulation pad. This increases the flexibility of the feeding device and facilitates maintenance and upgrading.

[0043] The fitting feeding device 40 can be equipped with an automatic feeding system, such as a vibrating bowl, a slide rail or a robotic arm, to automatically send nuts and gaskets to the fitting tightening mechanism 12, further reducing manual operations during the assembly process.

[0044] The feeding device for assembling connecting parts (such as nuts and bolts) can adopt advanced storage technologies, such as rotary or drawer storage, to quickly and accurately distribute the required connecting parts.

[0045] To increase the movement freedom of the assembly platform 10, the assembly platform 10 can adopt the form of wireless charging to reduce the complexity of wiring.

[0046] In an alternative embodiment, the system can collect and analyze data during the assembly process, such as assembly time, failure rate, etc., and use machine learning algorithms to optimize the assembly process and improve overall efficiency. An integrated fault detection system is provided, which immediately triggers a self-repair or maintenance program once any component abnormality or failure is detected, reducing downtime and maintenance costs. At the same time, an intuitive human-machine interface is designed to allow the operator to monitor the assembly process, adjust parameters or intervene when necessary, ensuring system safety and production efficiency.

[0047] Adopting the technical solution of the present application, the assembly time of a single cab is significantly shortened through automated grasping, feeding and tightening processes. The automated assembly process reduces human errors and improves assembly consistency, thereby enhancing the quality of the finished product. The automated and intelligent design reduces the dependence on manual labor, lowers labor costs, and also reduces the repetitive labor of workers and potential safety risks. The system can quickly adapt to the design of different cabs and layout changes of the production line, improving the adaptability and production efficiency of the production line. By collecting and analyzing assembly data, the system can continuously optimize the assembly process, improve efficiency, and reduce faults and maintenance costs.

[0048] Through the above technical solutions, the cab heat insulation pad assembly system not only solves the problems of slow beat and poor consistency in the prior art, but also further improves the level of production automation, reduces costs, and enhances the flexibility and reliability of the production line.

[0049] Furthermore, an installation frame 50 is provided on the assembly platform 10. The length direction of the installation frame 50 extends along the second direction. The installation frame 50 is movably arranged relative to the assembly platform 10 along the second direction. The heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are arranged on the installation frame 50 at intervals along the length direction of the installation frame 50.

[0050] Since the installation frame 50 can move relative to the assembly platform 10 in the second direction, the operating ranges of the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are expanded, enabling better adaptation to cabs of different positions and sizes, and enhancing the adaptability and operating flexibility of the system.

[0051] The precise interval setting between the mechanisms, combined with the controllable moving ability of the installation frame 50, helps to ensure the accuracy of each grasping and tightening operation, reduce assembly errors caused by position deviations, and improve the consistency and quality of the product.

[0052] The movement of the installation frame 50 in coordination with the actions of the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 makes the assembly process smoother, reduces the time for repeated positioning, and speeds up the overall assembly speed. Through the above layout, the physical handling distance between the heat insulation pad and the fitting is reduced, the operation process is simplified, the risk of potential operation errors is lowered, and at the same time, the burden on the operator is alleviated.

[0053] Adjusting the positions of the operating mechanisms by the movement of the installation frame 50 is beneficial to optimizing the space layout of the production line, reducing the floor area, and improving the space utilization rate.

[0054] Optionally, the system further includes a component that can automatically detect the material inventory and trigger a replenishment mechanism. When the reserves of the heat insulation pad 31 or the assembly connection parts are lower than a predetermined threshold, the component automatically starts the replenishment process to ensure that the feeding device is always fully loaded, avoiding production line stoppages caused by material shortages.

[0055] In an optional embodiment, by using a path planning algorithm and combining the cab position information obtained by the 3D sensor, the optimal moving paths and assembly sequences of the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are dynamically calculated to complete all assembly tasks in the shortest time.

[0056] The heat insulation pad feeding device 30 and the fitting feeding device 40 can be pluggable modules, which can be quickly configured and adjusted according to the specific production line requirements, such as adding more heat insulation pad grasping mechanisms 11 or fitting tightening mechanisms 12 to improve the processing capacity of specific operation links.

[0057] Through the above expansion, the cab heat insulation pad assembly system can be more intelligent and automated, not only greatly improving the assembly quality and efficiency, but also enhancing the robustness and sustainability of the system, providing more possibilities for future production lines.

[0058] Further, a linear guide rail 60 is provided on the assembly platform 10. The length direction of the linear guide rail 60 extends along the second direction. The mounting frame 50 includes: a bottom plate 51, and the bottom plate 51 is slidably connected to the linear guide rail 60; a supporting plate 52, the supporting plate 52 is located on the top of the bottom plate 51, the supporting plate 52 is connected to the bottom plate 51, the supporting plate 52 is a strip-shaped structure, and the length direction of the supporting plate 52 extends along the second direction. The heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are arranged on the supporting plate 52 at intervals along the length direction of the supporting plate 52.

[0059] The use of the linear guide rail 60 ensures the precise movement of the mounting frame 50 along the second direction, effectively reducing the shaking and deviation during the movement, thereby improving the positioning accuracy and operation stability of the heat insulation pad grasping and the fitting tightening.

[0060] The strip-shaped structure of the supporting plate 52 extends along the second direction, providing a reasonable working space for the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12, which helps to optimize the equipment layout and save the workshop space.

[0061] The interval setting of the mechanisms along the length direction of the supporting plate 52, combined with the movement of the linear guide rail 60, can realize continuous heat insulation pad grasping and fitting tightening operations, improving the coherence and efficiency of the entire assembly process.

[0062] The sliding connection design of the linear guide rail 60 and the bottom plate 51 makes it easy to adjust the positions and maintain the mechanisms on the mounting frame 50, reducing the complexity and cost of equipment maintenance.

[0063] The cooperation of the linear guide rail 60, the bottom plate 51 and the supporting plate 52 provides a stable physical basis for automatic control, which is conducive to further integrating advanced automatic control technologies, such as automatic feeding, intelligent recognition, etc.

[0064] Optionally, on the basis of the linear guide rail 60, a multi-stage guide rail system can be added. For example, a micro linear guide rail can be further provided on the supporting plate 52 to finely adjust the positions of the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 to meet more refined assembly requirements.

[0065] Optionally, the sliding connection between the bottom plate 51 and the linear guide rail 60 can adopt technologies such as self-lubricating bearings and magnetic levitation to reduce friction loss, improve the moving speed and smoothness, and reduce the maintenance frequency.

[0066] Optionally, the supporting plate 52 can be equipped with built-in sensors such as position sensors and load sensors to monitor the movement status and load conditions of the mechanism in real time, providing more detailed feedback to the control system for more precise control.

[0067] Optionally, the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 on the supporting plate 52 can be designed as quickly detachable and installable modules, facilitating dynamic adjustment of the layout and quantity of the mechanisms according to different cab models and assembly requirements, enhancing the flexibility and adaptability of the system.

[0068] Optionally, the connection between the bottom plate 51 and the supporting plate 52 can be designed to be telescopic and tiltable, and the length and angle of the supporting plate 52 can be adjusted through electric or hydraulic control to adapt to the assembly requirements of different heights and angles.

[0069] The bottom plate 51 and the supporting plate 52 are made of high-strength and high-rigidity materials, and the structural design is optimized, such as adding rib plates or adopting a honeycomb structure, to enhance the stability and vibration resistance of the entire system and further improve the assembly accuracy.

[0070] An efficient energy management system, such as a super capacitor or an energy recovery system, is integrated inside the bottom plate 51 or the supporting plate 52 to provide stable and fast energy supply for movement and operation, while reducing energy consumption and improving energy utilization efficiency.

[0071] Furthermore, the projection of the bottom plate 51 along the vertical upward direction is located in the middle of the supporting plate 52, and the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are respectively located on both sides of the projection of the bottom plate 51.

[0072] When installing the front and rear heat insulation pads, the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are respectively located on both sides of the projection of the bottom plate 51 to achieve non-interfering simultaneous assembly of the front and rear pads.

[0073] Furthermore, the projection of the bottom plate 51 along the vertical upward direction is located at one end of the supporting plate 52 in the length direction, and the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are located on the same side of the projection of the bottom plate 51.

[0074] When installing the left and right heat insulation pads, the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 are arranged on one side of the supporting plate, which can improve the integration degree of the mechanism. The heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 can clamp two left and right heat insulation pads simultaneously through fixture design.

[0075] Furthermore, the cab heat insulation pad assembly system further includes a rolling frame 70. The fitting feeding device 40 is installed on the top of the rolling frame 70. The rolling frame 70 is movably arranged relative to the assembly platform 10 along the second direction through the rollers at its bottom, and the top plane of the rolling frame 70 is arranged flush with the top plane of the mounting frame 50.

[0076] The rolling frame 70 can move freely relative to the assembly platform 10. The fitting feeding device 40 can be quickly positioned near the heat insulation pad grasping mechanism 11 and the fitting tightening mechanism 12 according to the assembly requirements, reducing the feeding distance and accelerating the feeding speed, thus significantly improving the assembly efficiency.

[0077] The introduction of the rolling frame 70 makes the position adjustment of the fitting feeding device 40 more flexible. It can quickly move to the optimal feeding position according to specific assembly requirements or the layout adjustment of the production line, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the assembly system.

[0078] By placing the fitting feeding device 40 on the rolling frame 70 and ensuring that the top plane is flush with the top plane of the mounting frame 50, seamless docking between the assembly platform 10 and the feeding device is achieved, which is beneficial to optimizing the space layout inside the workshop, reducing unnecessary space occupation, and improving the overall compactness of the production line.

[0079] The design of the rolling frame 70 makes it an independent module, which not only simplifies the maintenance process of the fitting feeding device 40 but also facilitates the quick adjustment of the position of the feeding device when needed, reducing the complexity of adjusting the production line layout.

[0080] Optionally, an electric or hydraulic drive system is equipped for the rolling frame 70 to enable more precise and faster movement control, improving the response speed and positioning accuracy of the fitting feeding device 40.

[0081] The rolling frame 70 is designed as a modular structure, allowing for the quick replacement of the feeding device or the adjustment of the size of the rolling frame to adapt to the specific requirements of different production lines.

[0082] Position sensors and collision sensors are installed on the rolling frame 70, which can monitor its position and status in real time and feed the data back to the control system to ensure the accuracy and safety of its movement.

[0083] An intelligent locking mechanism is integrated on the rolling frame 70. When it moves to the designated position, it automatically locks to prevent assembly errors or damages caused by accidental movement during the assembly process.

[0084] Furthermore, the fitting feeding device 40 includes a nut feeding part and a gasket feeding part. The nut feeding part and the gasket feeding part are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and a feeding space is formed between them. The fitting tightening mechanism 12 has a feeding position that can move to the feeding space. The cab heat insulation pad assembly system further includes a material changing cooperation device. When the fitting tightening mechanism 12 is at the feeding position, the material changing cooperation device is used to install the assembly connecting piece to the fitting tightening mechanism 12. Using a collaborative robot for feeding can improve the feeding rate.

[0085] Further, the first direction is the width direction of the assembly platform 10, and / or the second direction is the length direction of the assembly platform 10.

[0086] Optionally, the first direction is the width direction of the assembly platform 10, and at the same time it is the direction perpendicular to the production line, that is, the direction in which the vertical cockpit moves between different workstations.

[0087] The second direction is the length direction of the assembly platform 10, and at the same time it is the direction parallel to the production line, that is, the direction in which the vertical cockpit moves between different workstations.

[0088] Further, the cab heat insulation pad assembly system further includes a controller and a 3D sensor. The controller is electrically connected to the first drive system of the mounting bracket 50, the second drive system of the fitting feeding device 40, and the 3D sensor. The controller is used to control the displacement of the mounting bracket 50 along the second direction and the displacement of the fitting feeding device 40 along the second direction according to the sensing data of the 3D sensor.

[0089] Traditional feeding methods may rely on manual selection and placement of nuts and gaskets one by one, which not only consumes a large amount of time, but may also lead to assembly errors and increase production costs. In addition, traditional feeding systems may have complex structures, high maintenance costs, and are not easy to integrate into existing production lines.

[0090] Adopting the technical solution of the present application, by integrating a heat insulation pad fixture (robotic arm), a tightening gun and a tightening gun feeding device on an AGV cart, automatic feeding of the heat insulation pad is realized, greatly improving the feeding speed and the automation level of the production line; the integrated robotic arm and tightening gun can accurately control the grasping, placement and fixation of the heat insulation pad, reducing the error of manual operation and improving the assembly accuracy; the V-shaped or linear layout of the moving axis enables the robotic arm to flexibly adjust its position to adapt to heat insulation pads of different shapes and sizes, enhancing the versatility of the equipment and the flexibility of the production line.

[0091] Optionally, the assembly platform can be an AGV or a cart with rollers. The assembly platform includes:

[0092] 1. Body chassis: power system, navigation and positioning system, control and communication system, robotic arm interface, sensor system, power supply system, signal connection system.

[0093] 2. Control and communication system: responsible for the operation control of the AGV cart and communication with external systems.

[0094] 3. Robotic Arm Interface: There is an installation interface for the robotic arm on the top or side of the AGV cart, which is used to carry and move the robotic arm. The interface design needs to consider the weight, size of the robotic arm and its dynamic compatibility with the cart to ensure the stable fixation and efficient movement of the robotic arm on the AGV cart.

[0095] 4. Sensor System: It includes collision sensors, obstacle detection sensors (such as lidar, ultrasonic sensors, etc.) and cargo detection sensors, which are used to detect the surrounding environment and the state of the cargo to ensure the safety of the cart during movement.

[0096] 5. Power Supply System: It is powered by wire and connected to the workshop power supply through a telescopic cable to provide stable power support.

[0097] 6. Signal Connection System: It is used for signal connection between various devices on the cart and the external control system, including data lines, communication interfaces, etc., to ensure real-time data transmission and effective control of the devices.

[0098] 7. The mobile cart retains the basic safety guarantee functions and movement, and removes the battery pack, wireless charging device, automatic charging pile, etc., which can further solve the problem of excessive AGV cost.

[0099] According to another aspect of the present invention, a vehicle is provided, including a cab heat insulation pad assembly system, and the cab heat insulation pad assembly system is the above-mentioned cab heat insulation pad assembly system.

[0100] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiments of the present invention achieve the following technical effects:

[0101] 1. Improve assembly efficiency: Automated loading, unloading and assembly significantly improve the assembly speed of the production line and shorten the overall assembly time.

[0102] 2. Enhance assembly consistency and accuracy: The automated tightening device ensures the precise installation of the assembled parts, reduces the errors of manual operations, and improves the assembly accuracy and consistency.

[0103] 3. Reduce design complexity: There is no need to design a complex fixture telescopic structure, which simplifies the assembly process and improves the flexibility and versatility of the production line.

[0104] 4. Improve the automation level of the production line: The integrated 3D sensors and controllers achieve automatic control of the assembly process, reduce the dependence on manual labor, and improve the intelligent level of the production line.

[0105] By implementing the above technical solutions, the problems of slow beat and poor assembly quality consistency in the cab heat insulation pad assembly process are effectively solved, the automation and intelligence of the assembly are realized, and the work efficiency and product quality are significantly improved.

[0106] For ease of description, spatial relative terms, such as "above", "over", "on the upper surface", "upper", etc., may be used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of one device or feature to other devices or features as shown in the figures. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures is inverted, a device described as "above" or "over" other devices or structures will then be positioned "below" or "under" the other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both the orientations of "above" and "below". The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and corresponding interpretations of the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be made.

[0107] In addition to the above, it should also be noted that the "one embodiment", "another embodiment", "embodiment", etc. mentioned in this specification refer to the specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment being included in at least one embodiment generally described in this application.
