Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic assembly equipment, in particular to an automatic assembly robot. Background Art
[0002] The robotic arm can perform repetitive operations at extremely high speed and precision, and can quickly and accurately complete the grasping, handling and assembly of parts. Compared with manual operation, it greatly shortens the assembly time of a single product and improves the production rhythm.
[0003] When the robotic arm assembles the planetary gear train, it first clamps the center wheel and places it in the inner center of the outer gear ring, and then places the three planetary wheels one by one between the center wheel and the outer gear ring. During the assembly of the planetary wheels, the planetary wheels need to be rotated intermittently so that the teeth of the planetary wheels engage with the center wheel and the outer gear ring at the same time, and it is also necessary to ensure that the three planetary wheels are arranged along the circumferential spacing of the center wheel. When the number of planetary wheels in the planetary gear train is three, the number of teeth of the center wheel is a multiple of three.
[0004] However, the existing assembly method can only move and align the center wheel and the planetary wheels one by one, which reduces the assembly efficiency. When the planetary wheel is assembled between the center wheel and the outer gear ring, it is necessary to intermittently rotate and adjust the direction of the planetary wheel teeth. Each rotation requires the planetary wheel to be moved downward until the planetary wheel teeth are aligned and meshed with the center wheel and the outer gear ring at the same time, further reducing the assembly efficiency.

Specific embodiments
[0029] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The described embodiments are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention and should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention. For those not specified in the embodiments regarding specific technologies or conditions, they shall be carried out according to the technologies or conditions described in the literature in the field or according to the product instructions.
[0030] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an automatic assembly robot, including a robotic arm 1, a claw holder 2 is fixedly installed at the execution end of the robotic arm 1, a linkage frame 3 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the claw holder 2, the linkage frame 3 is composed of three equally spaced arms, and four limiting mechanisms 4 for clamping gears in an inner support manner are arranged on the linkage frame 3. The robot further includes a meshing mechanism 5 for aligning and meshing the planet gear and the sun gear together.
[0031] When it is necessary to assemble the central gear and the planetary gears inside the external tooth ring, first, the mechanical arm 1 moves the limiting mechanism 4 to the positions of the central gear and the planetary gears, so that the limiting mechanism 4 clamps and grabs the central gear and the planetary gears one by one. At the same time, the meshing mechanism 5 positions and moves the tooth positions of the central gear and the planetary gears. Then, the central gear and the planetary gears are assembled together in alignment through the meshing mechanism 5. Next, the mechanical arm 1 moves the assembled central gear and planetary gears to the position of the external tooth ring, and then the central gear and the planetary gears are moved downward and assembled inside the external tooth ring.
[0032] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 、 Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the limiting mechanism 4 includes a disc block 41. A cube block 42 is fixedly installed on the upper part of the disc block 41 through a connecting bracket 48. Among them, three cube blocks 42 are slidably connected to the lower part of the linkage 3 along the length direction of the arms of the linkage 3, and the other cube block 42 is fixedly installed on the lower part of the central position of the linkage 3. A linkage shaft rod 44 is slidably arranged up and down inside the cube block 42. A cylinder part 45 is rotatably arranged at the lower part of the linkage shaft rod 44. Along its circumference, support claws 46 that slide radially are arranged at equal intervals on the cylinder part 45. A through slot for the cylinder part 45 to enter is opened in the middle of the disc block 41.
[0033] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5 , a driving component 47 for moving the support claws 46 is arranged on the cylinder part 45. The driving component 47 includes a convex column 471 fixedly installed on the upper part of the support claw 46. A driving disc plate 472 is rotatably arranged in the middle of the cylinder part 45. A first pneumatic push rod 473 is jointly hinged between the driving disc plate 472 and the cylinder part 45. Guide inclined slots 474 corresponding one by one to the convex columns 471 are arranged at equal intervals on the driving disc plate 472. The convex column 471 is slidably connected inside the corresponding guide inclined slot 474.
[0034] Refer to Figure 5 , the guide inclined slot 474 has a linear waist-shaped groove structure, and there is an included angle between the length direction of the guide inclined slot 474 and the corresponding radial direction on the driving disc plate 472. When the driving disc plate 472 rotates, the convex column 471 is pushed away from the axis direction of the driving disc plate 472 through the guide inclined slot 474.
[0035] Continue to refer to Figure 5 , an abutting component 54 for abutting against the cylinder part 45 is arranged inside the disc block 41. The abutting component 54 includes an abutting friction block 541 that slides radially inside the disc block 41. A pushing spring is arranged between the abutting friction block 541 and the disc block 41.
[0036] In the initial state, the three slidably arranged cubic blocks 42 are all located at positions far from the center of the linkage 3, and the cylindrical member 45 is located inside the through slot of the disc block 41. At the same time, the support jaws 46 on the same cylindrical member 45 are in a position close to each other. The pushing spring uses its own elastic force to push the abutting friction block 541 against the outer side surface of the cylindrical member 45, thereby fixing the rotation angle of the cylindrical member 45.
[0037] When assembling the central gear and the planetary gears, the robotic arm 1 is moved to drive the claw holder 2, the linkage 3 and the disc block 41 to move synchronously, so that the disc block 41 fixedly connected to the linkage 3 moves directly above the central gear.
[0038] Subsequently, the robotic arm 1 is moved downward to drive the support jaws 46 at the position of the disc block 41 fixedly connected to the linkage 3 to insert into the central gear. Then, the first pneumatic push rod 473 is extended to drive the drive disc plate 472 to rotate relative to the cylindrical member 45, so that the drive disc plate 472 synchronously pushes the support jaws 46 away from the axis of the cylindrical member 45 through the guiding inclined slots 474 thereon, thereby enabling the support jaws 46 inserted into the central gear to perform an internal support clamping on the central gear.
[0039] Then, the robotic arm 1 is moved to drive the support jaws 46 at the position of the disc block 41 slidably connected to the linkage 3 to insert into the corresponding planetary gear. Similarly, the support jaws 46 perform an internal support clamping on the planetary gear. And through the synchronous internal support clamping of the support jaws 46, the positions of the central gear and the planetary gears can be centered and corrected, so that the central gear and the planetary gears are arranged coaxially with the corresponding disc block 41 at their respective positions.
[0040] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 , the meshing mechanism 5 includes a power assembly 55. The power assembly 55 includes a driven ring 551 rotatably arranged on the disc block 41. An L-shaped support arm 553 is fixedly installed on the side surface of the driven ring 551. A sliding frame 52 is fixedly connected to the lower part of the vertical section of the L-shaped support arm 553. A slot member 53 is slidably arranged in the sliding frame 52 along the radial direction of the corresponding disc block 41. An actuator motor 552 is fixedly installed at the lower part of the connecting bracket 48. The actuator motor 552 is connected to the driven ring 551 by means of gear connection.
[0041] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 6 and Figure 7, the sliding frame 52 on the disk block 41 corresponding to the cubic block 42 slidably connected to the linkage 3 is located on the side of the disk block 41 close to the center of the linkage 3, and the sliding frame 52 on the disk block 41 corresponding to the cubic block 42 fixedly connected to the linkage 3 is located on the side of the disk block 41 away from the center of the linkage 3 and corresponds to one of the arms of the linkage 3. One end of the slotting member 53 close to the axis of the corresponding disk block 41 has two symmetrically arranged pointed structures. Distance measuring sensors are fixedly installed at the positions of the two symmetrically arranged pointed structures of the slotting member 53. A second pneumatic push rod 521 is provided between the slotting member 53 and the corresponding sliding frame 52.
[0042] In the initial state, the telescopic section of the second pneumatic push rod 521 pushes the slotting member 53, so that the two symmetrically arranged pointed structures on the slotting member 53 are located at the position of the sliding frame 52. When the support gripper 46 clamps and limits the gear, the actuating motor 552 is started to drive the driven ring 551 to rotate reciprocally, so that the driven ring 551 drives the sliding frame 52 to rotate reciprocally through the L-shaped arm 553. The sliding frame 52 synchronously moves the slotting member 53, so that the slotting member 53 detects the distance from itself to the gear through the distance measuring sensor thereon.
[0043] When the pointed structure of the slotting member 53 moves to the tooth groove position of the corresponding gear, the distance measuring sensor detects that the slotting member 53 is the farthest from the gear. When the pointed structure of the slotting member 53 moves to the tooth top position of the corresponding gear, the distance measuring sensor detects that the slotting member 53 is the closest to the gear. The positions of the gear tooth top and tooth groove are determined according to the data of the distance measuring sensor. The application of the distance measuring sensor is prior art and will not be elaborated here.
[0044] It should be noted that when the support gripper 46 clamps and limits the gear, the positions of the gear teeth and tooth grooves can be determined through the distance measuring sensor on the slotting member 53, so that the steps of the support gripper 46 clamping the next gear and determining the positions of the teeth and tooth grooves of the already clamped gear can be carried out synchronously, thereby shortening the assembly time and improving the assembly efficiency.
[0045] When the data of the distance measuring sensor on the slotting member 53 corresponding to the central gear is the largest, stop the actuating motor 552 at the corresponding position, and then contract the telescopic section of the second pneumatic push rod 521 to drive the slotting member 53 at the corresponding position to move towards the central gear, so that the two pointed structures on the slotting member 53 are inserted into the tooth grooves of the central gear. Similarly, the positions between the two pointed structures on the slotting member 53 corresponding to the planetary gear are inserted into the tooth top position of the planetary gear. At this time, the slotting member 53 corresponding to the central gear corresponds to the tooth groove position of the central gear, and the slotting member 53 corresponding to the planetary gear corresponds to the tooth top position of the planetary gear.
[0046] Continue to refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3and Figure 6 At the upper edge position of the disk block 41, a limit post 411 is fixedly installed. The limit post 411 on the disk block 41 away from the center of the claw holder 2 is located on the side close to the center of the claw holder 2. The limit post 411 on the disk block 41 at the center position of the claw holder 2 corresponds to one of the arms of the linkage 3. A limit slot 412 is formed on the horizontal section of the L-shaped arm 553.
[0047] After the slotting member 53 determines the position of the tooth top of the planet gear and the tooth slot of the central gear, start the actuating motor 552 to drive the horizontal section of the L-shaped arm 553 to move towards the corresponding limit post 411, so that the L-shaped arm 553 drives the limit slot 412 to move to the outside of the limit post 411. At the same time, the L-shaped arm 553 drives the planet gear and the central gear to rotate synchronously through the slotting member 53. The planet gear and the central gear drive the corresponding cylindrical member 45 to rotate. At this time, the abutting friction block 541 changes the friction force on the cylindrical member 45 from static friction to sliding friction.
[0048] When the limit slot 412 abuts against the limit post 411, the L-shaped arm 553 corresponds to the arm at the corresponding position of the linkage 3, so that the position of the tooth top of the planet gear corresponds to the tooth slot of the central gear, and further aligns the angles of the planet gear and the central gear.
[0049] Refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 6 At the upper end of the linkage shaft rod 44, a rectangular plate 441 is fixedly installed. On the inner top wall of the claw holder 2, an electric telescopic rod 442 is fixedly installed. At the lower part of the electric telescopic rod 442, a synchronous frame 443 is fixedly installed. The synchronous frame 443 has the same shape as the linkage 3. The rectangular plate 441 at the position corresponding to the cubic block 42 sliding on the linkage 3 is slidably connected to the synchronous frame 443. The rectangular plate 441 at the center position of the synchronous frame 443 is fixedly connected to the synchronous frame 443.
[0050] When the position of the tooth top of the planet gear corresponds to the tooth slot of the central gear, extend the telescopic section of the electric telescopic rod 442 to drive the synchronous frame 443 to move downward. The synchronous frame 443 drives the linkage shaft rod 44 to move downward synchronously through the rectangular plate 441. The linkage shaft rod 44 drives the planet gear and the central gear to move to the lower part of the slotting member 53 through the cylindrical member 45, and then start the actuating motor 552 to drive the slotting member 53 to be arranged in a staggered manner to prevent the slotting members 53 from abutting against each other and causing interference.
[0051] It should be noted that when the planet gear and the central gear move to the lower part of the slotting member 53, the cylindrical member 45 does not completely move to the lower part of the disk block 41, so that the abutting friction block 541 still abuts against the outer side surface of the cylindrical member 45, thereby preventing the cylindrical member 45 from rotating without external force, and further preventing the planet gear and the central gear from rotating when moving downward, ensuring accurate alignment.
[0052] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and Figure 4 ,the meshing mechanism 5 further includes a synchronization component 56 for synchronously moving three cubic blocks 42 slidably connected to the linkage frame 3. The synchronization component 56 includes a linkage disc 561 rotatably arranged on the upper part of the linkage frame 3. Along its circumferential direction, three articulated support plates 562 are equally spaced and hinged on the linkage disc 561. One end of the articulated support plate 562 far from the linkage disc 561 is sleeved on the outside of the corresponding linkage shaft rod 44. A hydraulic rod 563 is arranged between one of the three cubic blocks 42 slidably connected to the linkage frame 3 and the linkage frame 3.
[0053] When the planet gear and the central gear move to the lower part of the slot part 53, contract the telescopic section of the hydraulic rod 563, so that the cubic block 42 connected to the hydraulic rod 563 moves towards the center of the linkage frame 3. The cubic block 42 connected to the hydraulic rod 563 drives the linkage disc 561 to rotate through the corresponding articulated support plate 562. The linkage disc 561 pulls all the cubic blocks 42 to synchronously move towards the center of the linkage frame 3 through the other two articulated support plates 562. Thus, the cubic block 42 drives the planet gear to move towards the central gear through the disc block 41, and further makes the planet gear be assembled in position on the outer side surface of the central gear.
[0054] Then, the assembled planet gear and central gear are moved and assembled into the inner part of the external tooth ring by the robotic arm 1, thus completing the assembly of the planetary gear train.
[0055] Refer to Figures 1 - 7 ,when the present invention assembles the planetary gear train, the following steps are further included: First step, move the robotic arm 1 to drive the disc block 41 fixedly connected to the linkage frame 3 to move directly above the central gear. Subsequently, move the robotic arm 1 downward to drive the support gripper 46 to insert into the inner part of the central gear, and extend the first pneumatic push rod 473 to drive the support gripper 46 to perform inner support clamping on the central gear.
[0056] Second step, start the actuator motor 552 to drive the driven ring 551 to rotate reciprocally, so that the data of the distance measuring sensor on the slot part 53 corresponding to the central gear is the largest. Stop the actuator motor 552, and contract the telescopic section of the second pneumatic push rod 521 to drive the slot part 53 to insert into the tooth slot of the central gear.
[0057] Third step, move the robotic arm 1 to drive the support gripper 46 at the position of the disc block 41 slidably connected to the linkage frame 3 to insert into the inner part of the corresponding planet gear, so that the support gripper 46 performs inner support clamping on the planet gear.
[0058] In the fourth step, start the actuating motor 552 to drive the driven ring 551 to rotate reciprocally, so that the distance measuring sensor data on the slot member 53 of the corresponding planet gear is minimized. Stop the actuating motor 552, and contract the telescopic section of the second pneumatic push rod 521 to drive the slot member 53 to insert to the tooth tip of the planet gear.
[0059] In the fifth step, extend the telescopic section of the electric telescopic rod 442 to drive the synchronous frame 443 to move downward. The synchronous frame 443 drives the linkage shaft rod 44 to move downward synchronously through the rectangular plate 441. The linkage shaft rod 44 drives the planet gear and the central gear to move to the lower part of the slot member 53 through the cylindrical member 45, and then start the actuating motor 552 to drive the slot member 53 to be arranged in a staggered manner.
[0060] In the sixth step, contract the telescopic section of the hydraulic rod 563, so that the planet gear moves towards the central gear, and further makes the planet gear be assembled in position on the outer side surface of the central gear. Then, move and assemble the assembled planet gear and central gear to the inside of the external tooth ring through the robotic arm 1, thereby completing the assembly of the planetary gear train.
[0061] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described above, it can be understood that the above embodiments are exemplary and should not be construed as limiting the present invention. Those of ordinary skill in the art can make changes, modifications, substitutions, and variations to the above embodiments within the scope of the present invention, and still be covered by the protection scope of the present invention.
