Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of flexible copper bar production, and more specifically, it relates to a riveting machine for flexible copper bar production and its riveting method. Background Art

[0002] A flexible copper bar is a copper conductive bar with good flexibility, usually woven from multiple layers of copper foil or copper wires, and is widely used in the fields of electrical equipment, power transmission, etc. The flexible copper bar can be freely bent and twisted within a certain range. For example, inside some electrical equipment with a narrow space and complex shape, the flexible copper bar can be bent and installed according to the actual space situation, greatly improving the flexibility and convenience of wiring.

[0003] Currently, flexible copper bar riveting is a connection process that uses a riveting machine, such as applying a certain pressure to make connectors such as rivets or rivet nuts closely combine with the flexible copper bar. Through riveting, reliable connection with other components can be achieved, ensuring the stability of electrical connection and the firmness of mechanical connection. The riveting work of flexible copper bars is usually carried out manually by operators. However, there are certain differences in the placement angle and manual auxiliary support of the operators. Therefore, there are relatively high errors in the riveted flexible copper bars, affecting the subsequent use of the flexible copper bars. According to the problems of the operators, an automatic riveting scheme suitable for flexible copper bars is designed.

[0004] Moreover, according to the actual application of flexible copper bars, in some special mechanisms, the flexible copper bar needs to be divided into two parts for use. At this time, the flexible copper bar needs to be riveted separately for the two parts. However, the common riveting method is only suitable for the riveting of single-size flexible copper bars. If it is used for the riveting of combined flexible copper bars, it is necessary to make adaptive settings for flexible copper bars of different sizes. The riveting method is complex. At the same time, when riveting combined flexible copper bars, it is necessary to adjust the position to rivet the corresponding parts separately. During the process of separately riveting by adjusting the position, the flexible copper bar will have a position offset, affecting the riveting effect and making it inconvenient for the subsequent installation of the flexible copper bar. Now, a riveting machine for flexible copper bar production and its riveting method are proposed to improve the existing problems. Summary of the Invention

[0042] Among them, for the information module, the information module includes a display screen and several groups of buttons. The information module is used to receive the information of the flexible copper bar assembly 4 and output the copper bar information.

According to the width information of the flexible copper bar assembly 4, the control system controls the riveting pressure and the riveting time of the riveting assembly 1. By more precisely controlling the riveting pressure and the riveting time, it is convenient for the normal progress of the riveting work.

[0046] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , above the riveting head 17, there is a mounting plate 16, the mounting plate 16 is connected to the mounting frame 12, and on the side of the mounting frame 12 away from the mounting plate 16, there is a control board.

[0047] Refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , on the top of the mounting plate 16, there is a riveting cylinder 13, and the output end of the riveting cylinder 13 is connected to the riveting head 17.

[0048] Refer to Figure 2 , the riveting head 17 is used for riveting the workpiece, and below the riveting assembly 1, there is a flexible copper bar assembly 4, and the flexible copper bar assembly 4 is the workpiece to be riveted.

[0049] Refer to Figure 1 , in addition to the riveting assembly 1, in order to convey the workpiece, on one side of the riveting assembly 1, there is a rivet feeding assembly 2, on the top of the rivet feeding assembly 2, there is a rivet 5, and the specific structure of the riveting assembly 1 is as follows: Refer to Figure 4 , the rivet feeding assembly 2 includes a placement rack 23 arranged below the rivet 5.

[0050] Refer to Figure 4, the riveting feeding assembly 2 further includes a first slide rail 21. The first slide rail 21 is arranged on the top of the mounting base 11. A first electric slider 22 is slidably connected to the top of the first slide rail 21. A placing rack 23 is arranged on the top of the first electric slider 22.

[0051] Refer to Figure 1 , a clamping assembly 3 is arranged at the middle position between the riveting assembly 1 and the riveting feeding assembly 2. The clamping assembly 3 is used to stably clamp the flexible copper bar assembly 4. The specific structure of the clamping assembly 3 is as follows: Refer to Figure 5 , the clamping assembly 3 includes a conveying cylinder 34 and a clamping mechanism 35 connected to the output end of the conveying cylinder 34.

[0052] Refer to Figure 5 , the clamping assembly 3 further includes a second slide rail 31. The second slide rail 31 is arranged on the top of the mounting base 11. A second electric slider 32 is slidably connected above the second slide rail 31. A placing seat 33 is arranged above the second electric slider 32. The conveying cylinder 34 is arranged on the top of the placing seat 33.

[0053] By setting the conveying cylinder 34 to control the clamping mechanism 35 to move up and down, since the flexible copper bar assembly 4 is arranged above the clamping mechanism 35, the position of the flexible copper bar assembly 4 can be adjusted through the up and down setting, which is convenient for the normal progress of the riveting work.

[0054] The workpieces are taken and placed by a manipulator during the conveying process. For example, the feeding and taking of the rivets 5 and the flexible copper bar assembly 4 are all taken by the manipulator.

[0055] The process of the riveting work is as follows: First, place the flexible copper bar assembly 4 at the position of the clamping assembly 3. The clamping assembly 3 stably clamps the flexible copper bar assembly 4. Place the rivets 5 on the top of the riveting feeding assembly 2. The riveting feeding assembly 2 provides a placement space for the rivets 5. Secondly, after the flexible copper bar assembly 4 and the rivets 5 are placed, the flexible copper bar assembly 4 is conveyed to the lower part of the riveting assembly 1 by the clamping assembly 3. The flexible copper bar assembly 4 is opposite to the riveting position. Then, the rivets 5 are conveyed to the position opposite to the flexible copper bar assembly 4 by the riveting feeding assembly 2. When the riveting points of the flexible copper bar assembly 4 and the rivets 5 are determined, start the riveting cylinder 13. The riveting cylinder 13 drives the riveting head 17 to move downward to complete the flexible copper bar assembly 4.

[0056] By setting the riveting assembly 1, the riveting feeding assembly 2, and the clamping assembly 3 to work together, the riveting of the flexible copper bar assembly 4 and the rivets 5 can be realized. The whole riveting work is an automatic riveting under mechanical control. Compared with the manual riveting, the automatic riveting device rivets more accurately, reduces the errors caused by manual operation, and improves the quality of riveting.

[0057] Embodiment 2. According to the actual application of the flexible copper busbar assembly 4, in some special mechanisms, the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 needs to be divided into two parts for use. At this time, the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 needs to be riveted separately for the two parts. Through the collaborative work of the riveting assembly 1, the rivet feeding assembly 2, and the clamping assembly 3, the riveting of the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 can be achieved. If riveting the combined flexible copper busbar assembly 4, it is necessary to make adaptive settings for flexible copper busbars of different sizes. At the same time, when riveting the combined flexible copper busbar, it is necessary to change positions and rivet the corresponding parts separately. During the process of changing positions and riveting separately, the flexible copper busbar will have a position offset, affecting the riveting effect and making it inconvenient for the subsequent installation of the flexible copper busbar.

[0058] Refer to Figure 1 , for this reason, the detailed structure of the corresponding clamping mechanism 35 is set for the corresponding combined flexible copper busbar assembly 4. The specific structure of the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 is as follows: Refer to Figure 7 , the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 includes a first flexible copper busbar 41 and a second flexible copper busbar 42, and the first flexible copper busbar 41 and the second flexible copper busbar 42 are combined to form a copper busbar body.

[0059] Refer to Figure 7 , among them, the parts of the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 that need to be riveted are respectively: the end of the first flexible copper busbar 41, the end of the second flexible copper busbar 42, and the end of the copper busbar body formed by the combination of the first flexible copper busbar 41 and the second flexible copper busbar 42. The three riveting points are A, B, and C respectively. A is the first riveting point, B is the second riveting point, and C is the third riveting point.

[0060] According to the shape characteristics of the first flexible copper busbar 41, the second flexible copper busbar 42, and the copper busbar body, the clamping mechanism 35 is set specifically, so that the clamping mechanism 35 is adapted to the first flexible copper busbar 41, the second flexible copper busbar 42, and the combination of the first flexible copper busbar 41 and the second flexible copper busbar 42. The specific structure of the clamping mechanism 35 is as follows: Refer to Figure 6 , the clamping mechanism 35 includes a first clamping block 356 and a second clamping block 357 that are adapted to the flexible copper busbar assembly 4.

[0061] Refer to Figure 6 , the clamping mechanism 35 further includes a support base 351. The support base 351 is connected to the output end of the conveying cylinder 34. A set of sliding cylinders 353 are respectively arranged at both ends of the support base 351, and two sets of sliding grooves 352 are opened on the side wall of the support base 351.

[0062] Refer to Figure 6 , a set of connecting blocks 354 are respectively arranged inside the two sets of sliding grooves 352, and the output ends of the two sets of sliding cylinders 353 are respectively connected to a set of connecting blocks 354.

[0063] Refer toFigure 6 , on one side of each of the two connecting blocks 354, a set of connecting plates 355 is respectively arranged, one set of connecting plates 355 is connected to the first clamping block 356, and the other set of connecting plates 355 is connected to the second clamping block 357.

[0064] Refer to Figure 6 , the first clamping block 356 is arranged below the second flexible copper strip 42, the second clamping block 357 is arranged on one side of the second flexible copper strip 42, the support seat 351 is arranged at the bottom of the first flexible copper strip 41, both the inner and outer sides of the second flexible copper strip 42 are provided with arc surfaces, and the inner sides of the first clamping block 356 and the second clamping block 357 are also provided with arc surfaces. The first clamping block 356 and the second clamping block 357 respectively match the inner and outer sides of the second flexible copper strip 42.

[0065] The working process of the clamping mechanism 35 is as follows: Place the flexible copper strip assembly 4 in the middle position of the support seat 351, the first clamping block 356, and the second clamping block 357, and then start the two sliding cylinders 353. The two sliding cylinders 353 respectively drive the first clamping block 356 and the second clamping block 357 to move towards each other. During the gradual movement, the first clamping block 356 and the second clamping block 357 clamp and stabilize the flexible copper strip assembly 4.

[0066] At the same time, by starting the conveying cylinder 34, the overall up and down movement of the clamping mechanism 35 can be realized, and by starting the second electric slider 32, the overall left and right movement of the clamping mechanism 35 can be realized. Due to the clamping of the first flexible copper strip 41 and the second flexible copper strip 42 by the first clamping block 356 and the second clamping block 357, the positions of the first flexible copper strip 41 and the second flexible copper strip 42 can also be adjusted accordingly to match the riveting work.

[0067] Under the combined coordination of the first clamping block 356, the second clamping block 357, and the support seat 351, it can match the first flexible copper strip 41, the second flexible copper strip 42, and the combination of the first flexible copper strip 41 and the second flexible copper strip 42. And during the riveting process, the first flexible copper strip 41 and the second flexible copper strip 42 are stably clamped, providing a guarantee for the normal progress of the riveting work, reducing the possibility of defects such as deformation and distortion caused by excessive local stress on the first flexible copper strip 41 and the second flexible copper strip 42, and maintaining the flatness and flexibility of the copper strip.

[0068] At the same time, the matching clamping tool reduces the operation difficulty, improves the operation fluency, reduces the work pause and mistakes caused by inconvenient operation, and helps to improve the work efficiency.

[0069] By setting the clamping mechanism 35, it can be adapted to clamp the flexible copper bar assembly 4. However, the first flexible copper bar 41, the second flexible copper bar 42, and the first riveting points A, the second riveting points B, and the third riveting points C corresponding to the copper bar body formed by the combination of the first flexible copper bar 41 and the second flexible copper bar 42 are different, and the corresponding riveting pressures and riveting times are also not the same.

[0070] Therefore, a detection device is correspondingly set. By applying the detection device, the size of the copper bar can be confirmed more accurately, and corresponding riveting is carried out according to the size of the copper bar. The specific setting position is: a first vision sensor 14 is arranged below the mounting plate 16, and a second vision sensor 15 is arranged below the first vision sensor 14.

[0071] During the actual riveting process, the flexible copper bar assembly 4 is stably clamped by the clamping mechanism 35. The distance between the clamping mechanism 35 and the first vision sensor 14 and the second vision sensor 15 is certain. According to trigonometric functions and the known distance data between the sensor and the clamping mechanism 35, the corresponding size of the flexible copper bar assembly 4 can be calculated. The control system sets the corresponding riveting pressure and riveting time according to the obtained size.

[0072] The specific detection methods of the first vision sensor 14 and the second vision sensor 15 are as follows: The first vision sensor 14 correspondingly detects the data of the first flexible copper bar 41, and the second vision sensor 15 correspondingly detects the data of the second flexible copper bar 42. The data measured by the first vision sensor 14 and the second vision sensor 15 can be fed back to the information module, and the data is transmitted to the processing module through the information module. The processing module can analyze and calculate the corresponding copper bar size according to the known data information, and finally output the copper bar size to the control module. The control module then controls the riveting assembly 1 to realize the riveting of the copper bar, that is, to realize the riveting of the riveting head 17 on the riveting points.

[0073] The corresponding detection data of the first vision sensor 14 and the second vision sensor 15 are as follows:

[0074] Table 1 Sensor Detection Corresponding Data Table The first vision sensor 14 and the second vision sensor 15 can correspondingly detect the first riveting points A and the second riveting points B of the first flexible copper bar 41 and the second flexible copper bar 42, and carry out riveting according to the data. For the riveting points of the copper bar body formed by the combination of the first flexible copper bar 41 and the second flexible copper bar 42, the size of the riveting points of the copper bar body can be obtained by adding the data at the first vision sensor 14 and the second vision sensor 15, and then the third riveting points C can be riveted.

[0075] By setting the first visual sensor 14 and the second visual sensor 15, the sizes of the first flexible copper busbar 41, the second flexible copper busbar 42 and the riveting points of the copper busbar body can be detected. The control system sets the appropriate riveting pressure and riveting time according to the corresponding sizes to rivet the riveting points, thereby reducing the errors generated during the riveting process, improving the quality of the riveting, and providing a certain guarantee for the riveting work.

[0076] Embodiment 3, a riveting method of a riveting machine for producing a flexible copper busbar, using the above-mentioned riveting machine for producing a flexible copper busbar, comprises the following steps: S1. First, place the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 at the position of the clamping assembly 3. The clamping assembly 3 stably clamps the flexible copper busbar assembly 4. Place the rivet 5 on the top of the rivet delivery assembly 2. The rivet delivery assembly 2 provides a placement space for the rivet 5.

[0077] S11. First, place the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 in the middle position of the support seat 351, the first clamping block 356, and the second clamping block 357, and then start the two groups of sliding cylinders 353. The two groups of sliding cylinders 353 respectively drive the first clamping block 356 and the second clamping block 357 to move toward each other. During the gradual movement, the first clamping block 356 and the second clamping block 357 clamp the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 to stabilize it.

[0078] S12, placing the rivet 5 on the top of the placement rack 23, the placement rack 23 provides a placement space for the rivet 5, and now the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 and the rivet 5 are placed.

[0079] S2. Secondly, after the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 and the rivet 5 are placed, the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 is transported to the bottom of the riveting assembly 1 through the clamping assembly 3, the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 is opposite to the riveting position, and then the rivet 5 is transported to the position opposite to the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 through the riveting assembly 2.

[0080] S21. Secondly, after the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 and the rivet 5 are placed, the second electric slider 32 is started, and the second electric slider 32 drives the placement seat 33 to move along a straight line, and then the conveying cylinder 34 is started, and the conveying cylinder 34 drives the clamping mechanism 35 to move upward as a whole, and the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 moves upward following the clamping mechanism 35 until the first riveting point A of the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 is opposite to the riveting head 17, that is, the first riveting point A of the first flexible copper busbar 41 is opposite to the riveting head 17, and the first riveting point A of the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 is determined to be completed.

[0081] S22. After the riveting points of the flexible copper busbar assembly 4 are determined, the first visual sensor 14 detects the first flexible copper busbar 41 and transmits the detected data information to the information module, which then transmits it to the processing module, which finally obtains the corresponding size after processing.

[0082] S23. Then, restart the first electric slider 22, and the first electric slider 22 drives the placement rack 23 to move linearly until the rivet 5 is opposite to the first riveting point of the flexible copper bar assembly 4.

[0083] S3. Then, start the riveting assembly 1, and perform riveting on the flexible copper bar assembly 4 through the riveting assembly 1 to complete the first riveting work of the flexible copper bar assembly 4.

[0084] S31. Then, after the riveting points of the flexible copper bar assembly 4 and the rivet 5 are determined, the control system sets the corresponding riveting pressure and riveting time according to the obtained corresponding dimensions, and then starts the riveting cylinder 13.
