[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0022] To solve the problems in the prior art that it is difficult to install stiffeners on the housing and difficult to calibrate the housing, an embodiment of the present invention provides a stiffener installation device. Figure 1 It is a schematic structural diagram of the stiffener installation device provided by the embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, the device includes: a bracket 3, on the bearing surface of the bracket 3, a first guide rail 2 and a second guide rail 10 are provided; the first guide rail 2 is arranged axially, and the second guide rail 10 is arranged radially; a transmission block 1, the transmission block 1 is movably connected to the first guide rail 2 and can move axially along the first guide rail 2; a transmission rod 4, one end of the transmission rod 4 is connected to the transmission block 1, and the other end is used to connect the stiffener 7; a fixing component 8, the fixing component 8 is connected to the second guide rail 10, can move radially along the second guide rail 10, and is arranged opposite to the transmission rod 4, and is used to fix and calibrate the workpiece 9 to be processed, and make the workpiece 9 to be processed coaxial with the transmission rod 4.

[0023] As Figure 1 shown, the stiffener 7 installation device includes a bracket 3, and the bracket 3 is the main frame for support. On its top surface, that is, the bearing surface, a first guide rail 2 and a second guide rail 10 are provided. The first guide rail 2 is arranged along the length direction of the bearing surface of the bracket 3, and this direction is the same as the axial direction of the workpiece 9 to be processed. The second guide rail 10 is arranged along the width direction of the bearing surface of the bracket 3, and this direction is the same as the radial direction of the workpiece 9 to be processed.

[0024] The transmission block 1 is movably connected to the first guide rail 2 and can reciprocate on the first guide rail 2. Further, the transmission block 1 can be connected to an external control module, and the control module can provide power for the transmission block 1 and can control the displacement of the transmission block 1.

[0025] A transmission rod 4 is also connected to the transmission block 1. The transmission rod 4 is horizontally arranged, and its extending direction is the same as the direction of the first guide rail 2, also arranged axially. When the transmission rod 4 is installed on the transmission block 1, the relative position of the transmission block 1 and the transmission rod 4 is fixed. The transmission rod 4 can move with the movement of the transmission block 1. The free end of the transmission rod 4 can fix the stiffener 7, and when the transmission block 1 moves, the transmission rod 4 can drive the stiffener 7 to be pushed or pulled along a specified path.

[0026] The fixing component 8 is movably connected to the second guide rail 10 and can reciprocate along the second guide rail 10. The fixing component 8 can fix the workpiece 9 to be processed and can also perform shape correction on the workpiece 9 to be processed. After the workpiece 9 to be processed is fixed, the inner cavity of the workpiece 9 to be processed faces the transmission rod 4. By moving the fixing component 8 on the second guide rail 10, the axis of the workpiece 9 to be processed is adjusted to be coaxial with the axis of the transmission rod 4. Then, by moving the transmission rod 4 towards the workpiece 9 to be processed, the transmission rod 4 extends into the corresponding position of the inner cavity of the workpiece to weld and fix the reinforcing rib 7.

[0027] As an alternative embodiment, Figure 2 is a schematic structural diagram of the fixing component 8 provided by an embodiment of the present invention. As Figure 2 shown, the fixing component 8 includes: a base 801, one side of the base 801 is movably connected to the second guide rail 10; at least one fixing hoop, at least one fixing hoop is connected to the other side of the base 801 for fixing the workpiece 9 to be processed.

[0028] As Figure 1 shown, the fixing component 8 includes a base 801 and at least one fixing hoop. The base 801 is movably connected to the second guide rail 10, and at least one fixing hoop is connected to its top surface. When there are multiple fixing hoops, it is necessary to ensure that the multiple fixing hoops are coaxial, and the fixing cavity of the fixing hoop is adapted to the workpiece 9 to be processed, so as to perform shape correction on the workpiece to be processed and stably fix the workpiece.

[0029] The fixing hoop and the base 801 can be fixedly connected, for example, by welding, or can be detachably connected, for example, by screws, buckles, etc.

[0030] As an alternative embodiment, a positioning block is provided on the end face of the base 801 close to the transmission shaft, and the positioning block protrudes above the bearing surface of the base 801.

[0031] A positioning block is connected to one side end face of the base 801, and this side end face is closer to the transmission rod 4 than the other side end face. The positioning block protrudes from the bearing surface of the base 801, so that the positioning can be performed through this positioning block when installing the housing to be processed. Specifically, when placing the workpiece 9 to be processed, its end abuts against the part of the positioning block protruding from the bearing surface, thereby limiting the workpiece 9 to be processed.

[0032] As an alternative embodiment, the fixing hoop includes: the fixing hoop includes a first sub-hoop 802 and a second sub-hoop 803. After the first sub-hoop 802 and the second sub-hoop 803 are closed, a circular shape correction cavity is formed for fixing the workpiece 9 to be processed.

[0033] The fixing hoop includes two sub-hoops, namely the first sub-hoop 802 and the second sub-hoop 803. The inner wall of each sub-hoop is semi-circular. When the two sub-hoops are closed, the two semi-circular inner walls can define a circular calibration cavity. The size of the circular calibration cavity is consistent with the size of the formed shell, and can calibrate and fix the workpiece 9 to be processed.

[0034] As an alternative implementation, the first sub-hoop 802 and the second sub-hoop 803 are connected by screws; or, one end of the first sub-hoop 802 and one end of the second sub-hoop 803 are connected by a hinge, and the other end of the first sub-hoop 802 and the other end of the second sub-hoop 803 are connected by screws.

[0035] The outer walls of the first sub-hoop 802 and the second sub-hoop 803 both have mounting platforms extending along the two opposite sides in the radial direction. The mounting platforms of the two sub-hoops can be connected by screws to realize the connection between the first sub-hoop 802 and the second sub-hoop 803.

[0036] To facilitate the connection between the first sub-hoop 802 and the second sub-hoop 803, a hinge can also be connected to the corresponding mounting platform on one side, and the corresponding mounting platform on the other side is connected by screws. When fixing the workpiece 9 to be processed, the second sub-hoop 803 is opened through the hinge. After the workpiece 9 to be processed is placed, the second sub-hoop 803 is closed through the hinge, and the first sub-hoop 802 and the second sub-hoop 803 are connected by screws.

[0037] As an alternative implementation, a scale 5 is provided on the side surface of the transmission rod 4.

[0038] The scale 5 is attached to the side surface of the transmission rod 4, and can accurately control the moving amount of the transmission rod 4 in the inner cavity of the workpiece 9 to be processed when the transmission rod 4 moves. When processing the reinforcing rib 7, the distance between the end face of the reinforcing rib 7 and the left end face of the workpiece 9 to be processed can be determined according to the scale on the scale 5, so as to determine the position of the reinforcing rib 7 in the workpiece 9 to be processed.

[0039] As an alternative implementation, a reinforcing rib placement seat 6 is provided at one end of the transmission rod 4 for connecting the reinforcing rib 7.

[0040] To improve the fixing stability of the reinforcing rib 7, a reinforcing rib placement seat 6 is provided at one end of the transmission rod 4. The reinforcing rib placement seat 6 is fixedly connected to the end of the transmission rod 4, preferably by screws.

[0041] The reinforcing rib placement seat 6 can limit the reinforcing rib 7. The reinforcing rib placement seat 6 can limit the reinforcing rib 7 through a suction attachment, preferably by adsorbing the reinforcing rib 7 with a magnet.

[0042] The size of the reinforcing rib placement seat 6 can be replaced to meet the clamping requirements of different types of reinforcing ribs 7.

[0043] As an alternative embodiment, the reinforcing rib placement seat 6 is provided with clamping claws for clamping the reinforcing rib 7.

[0044] To improve the clamping stability, the mounting seat of the reinforcing rib 7 is also provided with clamping claws, which can firmly clamp the reinforcing rib 7 and release the reinforcing rib 7 when it reaches the predetermined position to complete the welding.

[0045] As an alternative embodiment, a shock-absorbing cushion layer is provided at the bottom of the bearing surface of the bracket 3.

[0046] A shock-absorbing cushion layer is provided below the bearing surface of the bracket 3. The shock-absorbing cushion layer is supported by rubber or other elastic materials, which can reduce the vibration generated during the transmission process, thereby improving the installation accuracy and operation stability.

[0047] As an alternative embodiment, a quick-release structure is provided at the connection between the transmission rod 4 and the transmission block 1.

[0048] A quick-release structure is provided at the connection between the transmission rod 4 and the transmission block 1. Preferably, the quick-release structure includes a quick connector and a locking device, which can achieve quick disassembly and assembly when the transmission rod 4 needs to be replaced, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the device and facilitating the replacement and installation of different types of reinforcing ribs.

[0049] The usage method of the reinforcing rib installation device is as follows:

[0050] 1) Place the workpiece to be processed into the fixing component (the inner diameters of the two sub-hoops are the same as the outer diameter of the workpiece to be processed, and the workpiece to be processed is axially limited by the positioning block);

[0051] 2) Fix the workpiece to be processed by using the fixing component, and align the axis of the hoop-shaped tooling with the axis of the transmission rod by using a dial indicator; (the fixing component cannot be adjusted in the up and down direction, which has been calculated during manufacturing and is the same as the axis height of the transmission rod. The adjustment of the axis of the fixing component in the left and right directions is achieved by moving on the second guide rail of the fixing component);

[0052] 3) Fix the reinforcing rib at the end of the transmission rod through the reinforcing rib placement seat;

[0053] 4) Check the relative distance between the right end face of the reinforcing rib and the left end face of the aluminum shell;

[0054] 5) Start the right shift switch of the axial transmission mechanism to axially move the transmission block on the first guide rail. After the reinforcing rib is sent to the designated position of the workpiece to be processed, fix the reinforcing rib in the workpiece to be processed;

[0055] 6) Start the left shift switch of the axial transmission mechanism to retract the transmission rod in the opposite direction from the inner cavity of the workpiece to be processed;

[0056] 7) Place the new reinforcing rib into the reinforcing rib placement seat, and repeat steps 6 - 7 until all the reinforcing ribs are installed.

[0057] The above technical solution has the following beneficial effects: The scribing process is reduced, and the positioning of multiple reinforcing ribs can be completed only by controlling the moving distance of the transmission rod, improving the processing efficiency; The workpiece can be shaped by the fixing component, avoiding the problem of workpiece deformation during the welding process and improving the processing quality.
