Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of commercial vehicle assembly technology, and more specifically, to a heat insulation pad assembly system. Background Technology

[0002] In traditional commercial vehicle assembly processes, especially for the installation of underbody heat insulation pads, manual methods are typically used, including steps such as handling, positioning, fixing, and tightening the nuts. The processes of picking up, placing, and tightening the heat insulation pads are all done manually, and the material rack design does not adequately consider the convenience and stability of automated material handling by a robotic arm. Existing technologies use clamping and retraction mechanisms with hook cylinders, which increase the weight and complexity of the clamps and place high load requirements on the robotic arm.

[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 problem of excessive load on the robotic arm and difficulty in grasping the heat insulation pad 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; and a feeding mechanism movably disposed on the feeding base, the feeding mechanism having a gripping fixture having a plurality of gripping components disposed on the gripping fixture for gripping the heat insulation pad.

[0006] Furthermore, the gripping component includes a gripping suction cup disposed on the gripping bracket, 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 at least one positioning component, which is used to 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, multiple gripping components are distributed along the circumference of the support body, and a positioning component is disposed on the support body.

[0011] Furthermore, the support body includes a first support and a second support, which are arranged at an angle. The gripping component is disposed on the first support and the second support, and at least part of the positioning component is disposed on the first support.

[0012] Furthermore, the first bracket extends along the length of the heat insulation pad.

[0013] Furthermore, the second bracket extends along the height direction of the heat insulation pad.

[0014] Furthermore, the support body also includes a reinforcing support, one end of which is connected to the first support, and the other end of which is connected to the second support.

[0015] 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.

[0016] Furthermore, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a material preparation mechanism, which is set on the feeding base and is used to store fastening materials for fastening the heat insulation pad.

[0017] 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.

[0018] Furthermore, there are two gripping fixtures, which are positioned opposite each other at both ends of the feeding base.

[0019] By applying the technical solution of this invention, the feeding mechanism is configured to include multiple gripping brackets. The gripping brackets can grip multiple positions of the heat insulation pad, increasing the gripping area between the gripping brackets and the heat insulation pad, making the overall force of the gripping brackets uniform. At the same time, the gripping brackets are lighter than traditional clamps, making it easier to grip the heat insulation pad. This solves the problem of excessive single-point load on the feeding mechanism caused by unreasonable clamp design in the prior art. Attached Figure Description

Furthermore, it should be understood that when the terms "comprising" and / or "including" are used in this specification, they indicate the presence of features, steps, operations, devices, components, and / or combinations thereof.

[0047] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and accompanying drawings of this application are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence. It should be understood that such terms can be used interchangeably where appropriate so that the embodiments of this application described herein can be implemented, for example, in orders other than those illustrated or described herein. Furthermore, the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion; for example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus that comprises a series of steps or units is not necessarily limited to those steps or units explicitly listed, but may include other steps or units not explicitly listed or inherent to such processes, methods, products, or apparatus.

[0048] 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.

[0049] Combination Figures 1 to 4 As shown, according to a specific embodiment of this application, a heat insulation pad assembly system is provided.

[0050] Specifically, such as Figures 1 to 3 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 has a gripping fixture 20, on which multiple gripping components 21 are provided. The gripping components 21 are used to grip the heat insulation pad 3.

[0051] By applying the technical solution of this embodiment, the feeding mechanism 2 is configured to include multiple gripping components 21. The gripping components 21 can grip multiple positions of the heat insulation pad 3, increasing the gripping area between the gripping fixture 20 and the heat insulation pad 3, making the gripping fixture 20 uniformly stressed. At the same time, the gripping fixture 20 is lighter than traditional clamps, making it easier to grip the heat insulation pad 3. This solves the problem of excessive single-point load on the feeding mechanism 2 due to unreasonable gripping fixture design in the prior art.

[0052] In this embodiment, the stable support of the feeding base 1, combined with the flexible movement of the feeding mechanism 2 and the precise gripping of the gripping fixture 20, enables automated assembly of the heat insulation pad 3. This significantly improves assembly efficiency, reduces errors from manual operation, and ensures the consistency and stability of assembly quality. On the bottom heat insulation pad assembly line for commercial vehicles, this can greatly enhance the automation level and production efficiency of the production line, reduce labor costs, and improve overall competitiveness.

[0053] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, the gripping assembly 21 includes a gripping suction cup 211 mounted 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 heat insulation pad 3 is gripped using the gripping suction cup 211. When the gripping fixture 20 moves above the heat insulation pad 3, the gripping suction cup 211 generates negative pressure through a vacuum generator, causing the surface of the suction cup to come into close contact with the heat insulation pad 3, forming an adsorption state. At this time, the heat insulation pad 3 is firmly fixed to the suction cup and will not slip or fall off during the gripping process. When the heat insulation pad 3 is moved to the installation position and fixed by the robotic arm, the vacuum of the gripping suction cup 211 is released, and the suction cup separates from the heat insulation pad 3, returning to the separation state.

[0054] 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.

[0055] Furthermore, such as Figure 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.

[0056] 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.

[0057] 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.

[0058] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the gripping fixture 20 is also equipped with at least one positioning component 22, which is used to position the heat insulation pad 3. The positioning component 22, by cooperating with specific geometric features (such as holes, edges, protrusions, etc.) on the heat insulation pad 3, 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 component 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, and avoiding displacement during the gripping process.

[0059] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the heat insulation pad 3 has a positioning hole 30, and the positioning component 22 includes a positioning post 221. The positioning post 221 has a connection position that mates with the positioning hole 30, and a clearance position that separates it from the positioning hole 30. Through the efficient cooperation between the positioning hole 30 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 during installation positioning, the positioning post 221 moves to the connection position, aligns with the positioning hole 30 on the heat insulation pad 3, and inserts; 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.

[0060] 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.

[0061] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 , Figure 4 As shown, the gripping fixture 20 includes a support body 200, multiple gripping components 21 distributed circumferentially along the support body 200, and a positioning component 22 mounted on the support body 200. The support body 200 serves as the basic frame of the gripping fixture 20, increasing the gripping force area between the gripping fixture 20 and the heat insulation pad 3, thereby improving gripping stability. The support body 200, as a stable support structure, not only supports the gripping components 21 and the positioning component 22 but also provides necessary support for the heat insulation pad 3. The gripping components 21, distributed circumferentially along the support body 200, enable multi-point gripping of the heat insulation pad 3, more evenly distributing the weight of the heat insulation pad 3, reducing the load on individual gripping components 21, and simultaneously improving the stability of the heat insulation pad 3 during the gripping process, preventing deformation or damage to the heat insulation pad 3. The positioning component 22 is also set on the support body 200 to facilitate accurate positioning before and during gripping. The positioning post 221 or other positioning device in the positioning component 22 can cooperate with the positioning hole 30 on the heat insulation pad 3 to ensure that the heat insulation pad 3 is in the correct position before gripping, and also assist the gripping component 21 in positioning during the gripping process, further enhancing the stability and accuracy of gripping.

[0062] In this embodiment, the difficulties in gripping and positioning the heat insulation pad 3 can be effectively solved by the coordinated action of the bracket body 200, multiple gripping components 21 and positioning components 22, thereby improving the automation level of the assembly process, reducing assembly errors, reducing the need for manual operation, and improving production efficiency and safety.

[0063] Specifically, such as Figure 4As shown, the support body 200 includes a first support 201 and a second support 202, which are arranged at an angle. A gripping component 21 is disposed on the first support 201 and the second support 202, and at least a portion of the positioning component 22 is disposed on the first support 201. By subdividing the support body 200 into the first support 201 and the second support 202, and by arranging them at an angle, the support body 200 can be configured according to the spatial distribution and shape of the heat insulation pad 3. This allows the gripping component 21 to contact and grip the heat insulation pad 3 from different angles and orientations. Multi-angle gripping improves the adaptability and success rate of the gripping, ensuring that even with a complex shape, a suitable gripping point can be found. Furthermore, the angled design of the first support 201 and the second support 202 helps optimize the spatial layout of the support body 200. Within a limited working area, the gripping component 21 and the positioning component 22 can be arranged more efficiently, reducing space waste, avoiding mutual interference between components, and also improving the structural strength of the support body 200.

[0064] It should be noted that the angle design of the first support 201 and the second support 202 also takes into account the dynamic characteristics during the gripping and handling of the heat insulation pad 3. By optimizing the angle and support layout, the vibration and swaying of the support body 200 during operation can be reduced, thereby improving the stability of the heat insulation pad 3 during handling.

[0065] Optionally, the first support 201 extends along the length direction of the heat insulation pad 3. The length direction of the heat insulation pad 3 is the longest extension direction of the heat insulation pad 3 in three-dimensional space. The first support 201 extends along the length direction of the heat insulation pad 3, which can provide support along the longest side of the heat insulation pad 3 and reduce its bending or deformation.

[0066] Optionally, the second bracket 202 extends along the height direction of the heat insulation pad 3. The height direction of the heat insulation pad 3 refers to the distance from the bottom to the top of the heat insulation pad in a plane perpendicular to its length direction, which is also the thickness direction of the heat insulation pad 3. The main purpose of extending the second bracket 202 along the height direction of the heat insulation pad 3 is to provide necessary support and positioning in the vertical direction, ensuring that the heat insulation pad 3 can maintain the correct height during gripping and installation, and avoiding assembly problems caused by incorrect positioning in the height direction.

[0067] In this embodiment, through the specific layout of the first bracket 201 and the second bracket 202, the gripping fixture 20 can effectively support and position the heat insulation pad 3 in both the length and height directions. This can significantly improve the accuracy of gripping and assembly, reduce assembly errors caused by positional deviations, and also make the gripping fixture 20 more stable when handling the heat insulation pad 3, thereby improving the efficiency and reliability of the automated assembly line.

[0068] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the support body 200 also includes a reinforcing support 203. One end of the reinforcing support 203 is connected to the first support 201, and the other end is connected to the second support 202. The reinforcing support 203 connects the first support 201 and the second support 202, forming a triangular structure. This structure maximizes the strength of the first support 201 and the second support 202, better resisting bending, twisting, or vibration that may occur during the gripping and handling of the heat insulation pad 3, and ensuring the stability of the gripping fixture 20 under high loads or complex operations. When the support body 200 grips and loads the heat insulation pad 3, the pressure of the heat insulation pad 3 is preferentially transmitted to the first support 201 and the second support 202 through the gripping assembly 21. Due to the reinforcement support 203, the pressure of the heat insulation pad 3 can be transmitted to the triangular structure, greatly dispersing and absorbing the load pressure, thereby improving the dynamic stability of the entire gripping fixture 20 and the smoothness of the gripping and handling process of the heat insulation pad 3.

[0069] Furthermore, such as Figure 1 As shown, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a fastening mechanism 4, which is movably mounted on the loading base 1. The fastening mechanism 4 is used for assembling the heat insulation pad 3. The fastening mechanism 4 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 design ensures that the fastening mechanism 4 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 4 is aligned, the next assembly operation can be carried out to stably fix the heat insulation pad 3 to the assembly position at the bottom of the cab.

[0070] In one embodiment of this application, the heat insulation pad assembly system further includes a visual positioning mechanism. This mechanism determines the position of the heat insulation pad 3 and its assembly location. The visual positioning mechanism performs image analysis to identify feature points of the heat insulation pad, such as holes and edges, to ensure that the position of the heat insulation pad 3 matches the expected position during gripping, thus 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 its precise coordinates to ensure that the fastening mechanism 4 can accurately align with the assembly position for subsequent assembly operations.

[0071] In this embodiment, the visual positioning mechanism 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 not only optimizes the gripping of the heat insulation pad 3 but also further optimizes its assembly process. Simultaneously, the visual positioning mechanism 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 in real time, facilitating a highly efficient automated assembly process.

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the heat insulation pad assembly system also includes a material preparation mechanism 5, which is mounted on the loading base 1. The material preparation mechanism 5 stores fastening materials used to fasten the heat insulation pad 3. By mounting the material preparation mechanism 5 on the loading base 1, it can be used to supply materials to the fastening mechanism 4, improving assembly efficiency. The material preparation mechanism 5 has a dedicated storage area for storing assembly materials such as nuts and washers. Connected to the fastening mechanism 4, the material preparation mechanism 5 can automatically provide assembly materials to the fastening mechanism 4. The material preparation mechanism 5 is highly integrated with the loading base 1, the vision positioning mechanism, and the fastening mechanism 4, forming a coordinated and efficient whole, thus automating the assembly process.

[0073] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 , Figure 3 As 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 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 and the material preparation 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, as well as the fastening materials provided by the material preparation mechanism 5, the gripping, positioning, and fastening operations are automatically performed to ensure the continuity and efficiency of the assembly process.

[0074] It should be noted that the visual positioning mechanism 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 and the fastening mechanism 4. 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 and the fastening mechanism 4, thereby improving assembly accuracy and speed. Because the visual positioning mechanism and the fastening mechanism 4 are tightly integrated, the second robotic arm 12 can quickly respond to visual positioning data and instantly adjust the position and attitude of the fastening mechanism 4, achieving rapid and precise fastening assembly, reducing waiting time during the assembly process, and improving overall efficiency.

[0075] In one embodiment of this application, the fastening mechanism 4 includes at least a tightening gun 40. The second end of the second robotic arm 12 is connected to the tightening gun 40, which is used to tighten and feed the heat insulation pad 3. The tightening guns 40 can be used individually or in combination to tighten the heat insulation pad 3. After the tightening gun 40 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 40 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 40, 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.

[0076] In one embodiment of this application, there are two gripping fixtures 20, which are arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the feeding base 1. Material racks are provided at both ends of the feeding base 1, and the two material racks respectively store the front heat insulation pad and the rear heat insulation pad. With one gripping fixture 20 at each end of the feeding base 1, and the two gripping fixtures gripping the front heat insulation pad and the rear heat insulation pad respectively, the front and rear heat insulation pads can be assembled simultaneously in one process, eliminating the need for separate assembly of the front and rear heat insulation pads, thus improving production efficiency.

[0077] In this embodiment, two gripping fixtures 20 are respectively mounted on two first robotic arms 11. Combined with the vision positioning mechanism, the two gripping fixtures 20 can grip the heat insulation pads on the two material racks one after the other, thereby achieving the state in which the two gripping fixtures 20 simultaneously hold the heat insulation pads 3. Therefore, during the assembly of the heat insulation pads 3, there is no need to move the feeding mechanism 2 again to grip the heat insulation pads 3, which can improve the assembly efficiency.

[0078] 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.

[0079] For ease of description, spatial relative terms such as "above," "on top of," "on the upper surface of," "above," etc., are used herein to describe the spatial positional relationship of a device or feature as shown in the figures to other devices or features. It should be understood that spatial relative terms are intended to encompass different orientations in use or operation beyond the orientation of the device as described in the figures. For example, if the device in the figures were inverted, a device described as "above" or "on top of" other devices or structures would subsequently be positioned as "below" or "under" other devices or structures. Thus, the exemplary term "above" can include both "above" and "below." The device may also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used herein will be interpreted accordingly.

[0080] In addition to the above, it should be noted that the terms "one embodiment," "another embodiment," and "embodiment" used in this specification refer to specific features, structures, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment, which are included in at least one embodiment described in the general description of this application.
