Description

Technical Field

[0001] This disclosure relates to the field of electrical control box assembly processing technology, and in particular to an electrical control box assembly processing equipment and system employing an assembly processing method. Background Technology

[0002] The reducer of a new energy vehicle includes an electronically controlled lower housing, which includes an outer shell and an electrolyte container. The electrolyte container is located inside the outer shell and forms an electrolyte cavity for containing electrolyte. The upper surface of the electrolyte container has an upper opening that is connected to the electrolyte cavity. The upper opening needs to be sealed with a cover plate during reducer installation. The two opposite walls of the outer shell have an inlet and an outlet, and the inlet, electrolyte cavity, and outlet are connected in sequence. An electrical control mounting cavity is formed between the electrolyte container and the outer casing. This cavity is used to mount electrical control components. The upper surface of the outer casing has a first upper opening and a second upper opening spaced apart, both of which communicate with the electrical control mounting cavity. The upper opening of the electrolyte container is located within the first upper opening. Both the first and second upper openings need to be sealed with cover plates during reducer installation. The lower surface of the outer casing has a lower opening, which also communicates with the electrical control mounting cavity and needs to be sealed with a cover plate during reducer installation. Because the electrolyte cavity is used to contain the electrolyte and the electrical control mounting cavity is used to mount the electrical control components, both the electrolyte cavity and the electrical control mounting cavity have high airtightness requirements. Due to the large volume of the lower electrical control housing, a die-cast part is typically manufactured first, and then CNC machined to form the lower electrical control housing.

[0003] However, before traditional CNC machining, the die casting needs to be degassed and the burrs removed. The burrs on the die casting need to be removed by multiple different types of burr removal machines to remove the different pinhole burrs on the die casting. This results in the burr removal process of the die casting taking too long, which in turn reduces the assembly and processing efficiency of the electrical control box. Summary of the Invention

[0037] This disclosure relates to a combined processing equipment for electrical control boxes using a combined processing method. In one embodiment, the combined processing equipment for electrical control boxes includes a die-casting island device and a deburring device; the die-casting island device includes a steel sleeve conveyor line, a first robotic arm, and a die-casting machine; the steel sleeve conveyor line is used to transport die-casting raw materials; the first robotic arm is located between the steel sleeve conveyor line and the die-casting machine; the first robotic arm is used to transfer the die-casting raw materials into the die-casting machine and to remove the die-cast body of the first electrical control box; the die-casting machine is used to die-cast the die-casting raw materials; the deburring device includes a slide conveyor line, a second robotic arm, and at least one deburring machine.

After the electrical control box is die-cast using the die-casting island device, the multi-axis drill on the deburring machine removes the burrs from the second electrical control box die-cast body. By using multiple deburring grinding heads of different types on the multi-axis drill, different pinholes on the second electrical control box die-cast body are processed in combination, so that various burrs on the second electrical control box die-cast body can be removed. This allows all burrs to be removed on the same deburring machine, effectively improving the efficiency of the electrical control box assembly processing.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of an electrical control box assembly processing equipment using an assembly processing method according to an embodiment of the present disclosure.

[0039] An embodiment of a combined processing equipment 10 for electrical control boxes using a combined processing method includes a die-casting island device 100 and a deburring device 200; the die-casting island device 100 includes a steel sleeve conveyor line 110, a first robotic arm 120, and a die-casting machine 130. The steel sleeve conveyor line 110 is used to transport die-casting raw materials. The first robotic arm 120 is located between the steel sleeve conveyor line 110 and the die-casting machine 130. The first robotic arm 120 is used to transfer the die-casting raw materials into the die-casting machine 130 and to transfer the first electrical control box... The die-cast body is removed. The die-casting machine 130 is used to die-cast the raw materials. The deburring device 200 includes a slide conveyor 210, a second robotic arm 220, and at least one deburring machine 230. The slide conveyor 210 is used to transport the die-cast body of the second electrical control box. The second robotic arm 220 is located between the slide conveyor 210 and the deburring machine 230. The second robotic arm 220 is used to transfer the die-cast body of the second electrical control box into the deburring machine 230 and to remove the die-cast body of the third electrical control box. Please refer to the following: Figure 2 and Figure 3 The deburring machine 230 includes a cabinet 232, a multi-spindle drill 234, and a tilting table 236. The multi-spindle drill 234 and the tilting table 236 are both disposed inside the cabinet 232. The tilting table 236 is used to fix and tilt the die-cast body of the second electrical control box. The multi-spindle drill 234 is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet 232. The multiple deburring heads of the multi-spindle drill 234 face the tilting table 236 to perform deburring operation on the die-cast body of the second electrical control box.

[0040] In this embodiment, after the electrical control box die casting body is formed by die casting through the die casting island device 100, the multi-axis drill 234 on the deburring machine 230 performs deburring processing on the second electrical control box die casting body. By using multiple deburring grinding heads of different types on the multi-axis drill 234, different pinholes on the second electrical control box die casting body are processed in combination, so that various deburrs on the second electrical control box die casting body can be removed. This allows all deburring to be removed on the same deburring machine 230, effectively improving the efficiency of electrical control box combination processing.

[0041] The combined machining method is used for the combined machining and die-casting of automotive electronic control boxes. Please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 4 The combined processing method includes the following steps:

[0042] S100: Provide die-casting raw materials. The die-casting raw materials are metal parts of the automotive electronic control box before assembly processing. For example, the die-casting raw materials are die-casting precursors formed after degassing of die-casting metal smelting.

[0043] S200: Die casting the raw material to obtain the first electrical control box die casting body. The die casting operation is performed on the die casting island, specifically, within a designated mold on the die casting island, to quickly form the required electrical control box prototype. The die casting operation is carried out using 2000T & 2500T die casting machines.

[0044] S300: Perform a gate removal operation on the first electrical control box die casting body to obtain the second electrical control box die casting body. The first electrical control box die casting body is formed after die casting on the die casting island. The die casting raw material is in a molten state before die casting. After passing through the die casting mold of the die casting island, there will be gates, i.e., excess die casting scraps. At this time, the gate removal operation is performed to remove the excess parts.

[0045] S400: Perform a deburring operation on the second electrical control box die casting to obtain the third electrical control box die casting. The peripheral residual parts of the second electrical control box die casting have been removed, but there are still burrs from the die casting process in the surface pinholes or cavities. The deburring operation facilitates the removal of residual burrs in each hole, ensuring the surface flatness of the second electrical control box die casting.

[0046] S500: Friction welding is performed on the die-cast body of the third electrical control box to obtain the automotive electrical control box. The die-cast body of the third electrical control box is a die-cast body after the periphery and surface have been cleaned. Friction welding is then performed on the die-cast body of the third electrical control box to facilitate its combination and connection with other components or die-cast bodies to form the required automotive electrical control box.

[0047] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The flipping table 236 includes a flipping base 2362 and a flipping rod 2364. The flipping base 2362 is connected to the cabinet 232, and the flipping rod 2364 is rotatably mounted on the flipping base 2362. The flipping rod 2364 is used to fix and flip the second electrical control box die-cast body. In this embodiment, the flipping base 2362 is located at the bottom of the cabinet 232. The flipping base 2362 serves as the mounting seat for the flipping rod 2364. The flipping rod 2364 rotates on the flipping base 2362, facilitating the flipping of the second electrical control box die-cast body on the flipping rod 2364. This allows the pinhole burrs on each surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body to be removed, thereby improving the deburring efficiency of the second electrical control box die-cast body.

[0048] Further, please refer to Figure 3The flipping table 236 further includes a first flipping motor 2366, which is connected to the flipping base 2362. The rotating shaft of the first flipping motor 2366 is connected to the flipping rod 2364. In this embodiment, the first flipping motor 2366 is disposed on the flipping base 2362. The first flipping motor 2366 serves as the rotational power source for the flipping rod 2364, providing rotational power to the flipping rod 2364 so that the flipping rod 2364 rotates on the flipping base 2362. This facilitates the flipping rod 2364 driving the second electrical control box die-cast body on it to flip, thereby facilitating multi-face deburring operations on the second electrical control box die-cast body to ensure that the deburring on each surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body is completely removed.

[0049] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The flipping rod 2364 has a flipping receiving groove 202 for receiving the second electrical control box die-cast body. In this embodiment, the flipping receiving groove 202 is located on the flipping rod 2364, specifically, it is located in the middle of the flipping rod 2364. The flipping receiving groove 202 serves as a receiving recess for the second electrical control box die-cast body, with at least a portion of the second electrical control box die-cast body located within it. This ensures a stable connection between the second electrical control box die-cast body and the flipping rod 2364, facilitating the flipping of the second electrical control box die-cast body along with the flipping rod 2364. This allows for multi-face flipping and multi-face deburring operations on the second electrical control box die-cast body.

[0050] In another embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The tilting table 236 further includes a tilting carrier plate 2368, which is movably connected to the tilting rod 2364. The tilting carrier plate 2368 is used to fix and tilt the die-cast body of the second electrical control box. The tilting carrier plate 2368 is located on the tilting rod 2364. Specifically, the tilting carrier plate 2368 is located on the bottom of the tilting receiving groove 202, and the tilting carrier plate 2368 is connected to the bottom of the tilting receiving groove 202. The tilting carrier plate 2368 is located between the tilting rod 2364 and the second electrical control box die-cast body. The tilting carrier plate 2368 serves as a support plate for the second electrical control box die-cast body on the tilting rod 2364. By placing the second electrical control box die-cast body on the tilting carrier plate 2368, it is convenient to lift the second electrical control box die-cast body and to place the second electrical control box die-cast body in a detachable manner. This enhances the adaptability of the second electrical control box die-cast body to the tilting rod 2364, that is, the tilting carrier plate 2368 enables the diversification of the types of second electrical control box die-cast bodies that can be loaded.

[0051] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 5 The tilting table 236 further includes a second tilting motor 2361, which is mounted on the tilting rod 2364. The rotating shaft of the second tilting motor 2361 is connected to the tilting carrier plate 2368. In this embodiment, the second tilting motor 2361 is connected to the tilting rod 2364 and moves with the tilting rod 2364. The second tilting motor 2361 serves as the rotational power source for the tilting carrier plate 2368, causing it to rotate relative to itself and also relative to the tilting rod 2364. This allows the second electrical control box die-cast body on the tilting carrier plate 2368 to rotate in multiple directions, thereby improving the deburring efficiency of the second electrical control box die-cast body.

[0052] In another embodiment, the shaft of the second flip motor 2361 is arranged perpendicularly to the shaft of the first flip motor 2366, so that the second electrical control box die casting body can rotate in two different directions relative to the flip base 2362, further improving the overall degree of deburring of the second electrical control box die casting body.

[0053] Further, please refer to Figure 5 The tilting table 236 also includes a tilting and fixing motor 2363 and a tilting and fixing clamp 2365. The tilting and fixing motor 2363 is disposed on the tilting carrier plate 2368. The telescopic shaft of the tilting and fixing motor 2363 is connected to the abutting arm of the tilting and fixing clamp 2365 so that the tilting and fixing clamp 2365 abuts the second electrical control box die-cast body on the tilting carrier plate 2368. In this embodiment, the flipping and fixing motor 2363 is located on the side of the flipping carrier plate 2368 near the multi-axis drill 234. The flipping and fixing motor 2363 serves as the power source for the opening and closing of the flipping and fixing clamp 2365. The flipping and fixing motor 2363 provides power for the clamping and fixing of the flipping and fixing clamp 2365. After the second electrical control box die-cast body is placed on the flipping carrier plate 2368, the flipping and fixing motor 2363 drives the flipping and fixing clamp 2365 to clamp and fix the second electrical control box die-cast body, so that the second electrical control box die-cast body is stably set on the flipping carrier plate 2368.

[0054] Furthermore, please refer to Figure 5The flipping fixing clamp 2365 includes a flipping support protrusion 2367 and a supporting arm 2369. The flipping support protrusion 2367 is disposed on the flipping fixing motor 2363. The supporting arm 2369 is rotatably connected to the flipping support protrusion 2367. One end of the supporting arm 2369 is connected to the telescopic shaft of the flipping fixing motor 2363, and the other end of the supporting arm 2369 is used to abut against the die-cast body of the second electrical control box. In this embodiment, the flipping support protrusion 2367 is fixed on the flipping fixing motor 2363, and the abutment arm 2369 rotates on the flipping support protrusion 2367. Specifically, the flipping support protrusion 2367 is rotatably connected to the middle of the abutment arm 2369, so that the flipping support protrusion 2367 serves as the rotation support point of the abutment arm 2369. The abutment arm 2369 swings away from the telescopic shaft of the flipping fixing motor 2363 through the telescopic extension and retraction of the telescopic shaft of the flipping fixing motor 2363. This facilitates the abutment arm 2369 against the flipping carrier plate 2368, that is, the abutment arm 2369 and the flipping carrier plate 2368 jointly clamp the second electrical control box die-cast body, thereby improving the stability of the second electrical control box die-cast body on the flipping carrier plate 2368 and preventing the second electrical control box die-cast body from falling off during the flipping process.

[0055] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 The multi-axis drill 234 includes a moving guide rail 2342, a drill selection wheel 2344, and multiple side-pin-hole deburring grinding heads 2346. The moving guide rail 2342 is disposed on the inner side wall of the cabinet 232. The drill selection wheel 2344 is connected to the moving guide rail 2342, and the multiple side-pin-hole deburring grinding heads 2346 are all arranged around the outer side of the drill selection wheel 2344. In this embodiment, the moving guide rail 2342 is fixed to the inner side wall of the cabinet 232, and the drill selection wheel 2344 is disposed on the moving guide rail 2342. Multi-directional movement is achieved through the moving guide rail 2342. Specifically, the moving guide rail 2342 has two mutually perpendicular directions of movement, facilitating adjustment of the moving position of the drill selection wheel 2344. The side pinhole deburring grinding head 2346 is located outside the drill selection wheel 2344. By rotating the drill selection wheel 2344, it is convenient to select a specific grinding head to perform deburring operation on the second electrical control box die casting body, so that the deburring on different surfaces of the second electrical control box die casting body is removed by the corresponding grinding head, thereby improving the deburring efficiency.

[0056] During the actual assembly and processing of the automotive electronic control box, the deburring process of the second electronic control box die-cast body requires loading and unloading operations via the second robotic arm 220. The automatic loading and unloading cycle of the second robotic arm 220 depends on the processing cycle of the deburring machine 230. Moreover, loading and unloading operations are strictly prohibited during the deburring process of the deburring machine 230; only deburring operations are allowed to avoid accidents caused by improper operation of the deburring machine 230. However, the automatic loading and unloading cycle of the second robotic arm 220 is usually slower than the processing cycle of the deburring machine 230. This results in the second robotic arm 220 not retrieving the material in a timely manner after the deburring machine 230 has finished processing. The multi-axis drill 234 needs to rotate to a designated position, for example, the top multi-head drill position of the multi-axis drill 234 needs to be sensed for a long time before the second robotic arm 220 is driven to retrieve the material, that is, to remove the third electronic control box die-cast body. This seriously affects the assembly and processing efficiency.

[0057] To improve the processing efficiency of the deburring process, the deburring operation on the second electrical control box die-cast body includes the following steps:

[0058] Obtain the floating deburring pressure of the multi-axis drill 234;

[0059] Detect whether the floating deburring pressure is greater than the preset floating pressure;

[0060] When the floating deburring pressure is greater than the preset floating pressure, a prohibition signal is sent to the second robotic arm 220 to prevent the removal of the die-cast body of the second electrical control box inside the deburring machine 230.

[0061] In this embodiment, the multi-axis drill 234 has various types of grinding heads for deburring different types of pinhole burrs, including grinding heads for different pinhole diameters and grinding heads for different surface thicknesses. The floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 is used to remove pinhole burrs from the top surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body. Since the top surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body typically serves as the surface of various inlet injection holes, its thickness is slightly thinner than other sides for ease of installation and use; that is, the thickness of the top surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body is less than the thickness of other sides. When removing burrs from the pinholes on the top surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body, only a floating grinding head can be used to avoid causing friction cracks on the top surface. The floating grinding head has adaptive pressure adjustment capability to reduce excessive extrusion during deburring.

[0062] The floating deburring pressure is the extrusion pressure exerted by the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 when deburring the second electrical control box die-cast body. The preset floating pressure is the extrusion pressure exerted by the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 when deburring the top surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body. Furthermore, deburring the top surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body is the last surface in the deburring process; that is, after the top surface deburring is completed, the third electrical control box die-cast body is formed. If the floating deburring pressure is greater than the preset floating pressure, it indicates that the floating extrusion pressure exerted by the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 on the second electrical control box die-cast body is too large. This indicates that the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 is deburring other sides of the second electrical control box die-cast body, meaning that the deburring operation of the second electrical control box die-cast body is still in progress and has not yet reached its completion stage. At this time, by sending a prohibition signal to the second robotic arm 220, the removal of the die-cast body of the second electrical control box inside the deburring machine 230 is prohibited, thus preventing the second robotic arm 220 from entering the cabinet 232 and ensuring the safe mechanical operation of the multi-axis drill 234 for deburring.

[0063] Furthermore, the step of detecting whether the floating deburring pressure is greater than a preset floating pressure further includes:

[0064] When the floating deburring pressure is less than or equal to the preset floating pressure, the floating extrusion time of the multi-axis drill 234 is obtained;

[0065] Detect whether the floating extrusion time is greater than or equal to the preset extrusion time;

[0066] When the floating extrusion time is greater than or equal to the preset extrusion time, a pickup signal is sent to the second robotic arm 220 to remove the die-cast body of the third electrical control box inside the blouse machine 230.

[0067] In this embodiment, the floating deburring pressure is less than or equal to the preset floating pressure, indicating that the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 exerts a relatively small floating extrusion pressure on the second electrical control box die-cast body for deburring. At this time, the extrusion of the multi-axis drill 234's floating grinding head on the second electrical control box die-cast body is relatively light. Since low-explosion deburring by the floating grinding head may also occur on the sides of the second electrical control box die-cast body other than the top surface, but the grinding head used on the top surface is a low-explosion floating grinding head covering the entire top surface, the floating extrusion time is the duration of extrusion by the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 on each surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body. The preset extrusion time is the duration of extrusion by the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 on the top surface of the second electrical control box die-cast body. The floating extrusion time being greater than or equal to the preset extrusion time indicates that the multi-axis drill 234... If the floating grinding head of the multi-axis drill 234 deburrs the top surface of the second electrical control box die casting for too long, it indicates that the deburring operation of the second electrical control box die casting is performing on the last surface. At this time, by sending a picking signal to the second robotic arm 220, the third electrical control box die casting in the deburring machine 230 can be removed, so that the deburring operation of the multi-axis drill 234 on all surfaces of the second electrical control box die casting can be completed in time and the part can be picked up in time, thereby improving the deburring efficiency.

[0068] In another embodiment, the picking signal includes a delay sub-signal and a picking sub-signal. The delay sub-signal is a delayed execution instruction of the picking sub-signal, that is, the picking sub-signal for the die-cast body of the third electrical control box is executed after the multi-axis drill 234 moves away from the tilting table 236, so as to avoid the second robotic arm 220 colliding with the multi-axis drill 234.

[0069] In another embodiment, when the floating extrusion time is less than the preset extrusion time, a prohibition signal is sent to the second robotic arm 220 to ensure subsequent deburring operations on the surface pinholes of the die-cast body of the second electrical control box.

[0070] In another embodiment, both the prohibition signal and the picking signal are issued through the electrical control box assembly processing central control system. This system is electrically connected to both the die-casting island device 100 and the deburring device 200. For example, the electrical control box assembly processing central control system acts as the main control module to acquire signals and output control signals to each device. The signal acquisition includes acquiring the floating deburring pressure and the floating extrusion time, specifically through the pressure sensor and timer within the multi-axis drill 234. Thus, the electrical control box assembly processing central control system regulates the specific operations of die-casting and deburring in the die-casting island device 100 and the deburring device 200.

[0071] In one embodiment, this disclosure also relates to an electrical control box assembly processing system, including the electrical control box assembly processing equipment using the assembly processing method described in any of the above embodiments. In this embodiment, the electrical control box assembly processing equipment using the assembly processing method includes a die-casting island device and a deburring device; the die-casting island device includes a steel sleeve conveyor line, a first robotic arm, and a die-casting machine; the steel sleeve conveyor line is used to transport die-casting raw materials; the first robotic arm is located between the steel sleeve conveyor line and the die-casting machine; the first robotic arm is used to transfer the die-casting raw materials into the die-casting machine and to remove the first electrical control box die-cast body; the die-casting machine is used to die-cast the die-casting raw materials; the deburring device includes a slide conveyor line, a second robotic arm, and at least one deburring machine. The feed line is used to transport the second electrical control box die-cast body. The second robotic arm is located between the slide conveyor line and the deburring machine. The second robotic arm is used to transfer the second electrical control box die-cast body into the deburring machine and to remove the third electrical control box die-cast body. The deburring machine includes a cabinet, a multi-axis drill, and a tilting table. The multi-axis drill and the tilting table are both installed in the cabinet. The tilting table is used to fix and tilt the second electrical control box die-cast body. The multi-axis drill is connected to the inner wall of the cabinet. The multiple deburring heads of the multi-axis drill face the tilting table to perform deburring operations on the second electrical control box die-cast body. After the electrical control box is die-cast using the die-casting island device, the multi-axis drill on the deburring machine removes the burrs from the second electrical control box die-cast body. By using multiple deburring grinding heads of different types on the multi-axis drill, different pinholes on the second electrical control box die-cast body are processed in combination, so that various burrs on the second electrical control box die-cast body can be removed. This allows all burrs to be removed on the same deburring machine, effectively improving the efficiency of the electrical control box assembly processing.

[0072] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this disclosure, and while the descriptions are specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this disclosure, and these all fall within the protection scope of this disclosure. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent should be determined by the appended claims.
