The construction and optimization of its automated production line are important practical links in promoting the green and intelligent transformation and upgrading of the manufacturing industry.
[0003] The urea pump is large in volume and complex in structure, with high requirements for sealing performance, protection level, etc. The traditional production line for diesel vehicle urea pumps mainly relies on manual assembly and semi-automated processes, highly depends on the operation of skilled workers, has high labor intensity and low efficiency. The manual manufacturing method leads to poor process consistency, large quality fluctuations between production batches, and high scrap rates and additional costs are easily generated due to the lack of strict and standardized quality control.

The double-speed chain conveyor line is used to transport the tooling board with the urea pump assembly installed to the airtightness detection station through the upper conveyor line. The first airtightness detection station is used to detect the airtightness inside the urea pump assembly after detecting the urea pump assembly, and send an allow-through signal to the first defective product rejection mechanism when the detection is qualified, and send a non-allow-through signal to the first defective product rejection mechanism when the detection is unqualified. The first defective product rejection mechanism is used to transport the defective urea pump assembly with unqualified airtightness to the corresponding defective product storage cabinet after receiving the non-allow-through signal. The upper conveyor line is used to sequentially transport the qualified urea pump assembly with qualified airtightness to the wire harness arrangement station, the upper cover locking station and the lower cover locking station.

The upper conveyor line is used to transport the qualified urea pump assembly with qualified airtightness to the waterproof breather cap assembly station. The waterproof breather cap assembly station is used to install the waterproof breather cap on the urea pump assembly to form a complete urea pump after detecting the urea pump assembly with qualified airtightness. The comprehensive performance test station is used to remove the complete urea pump from the tooling board and place it on the comprehensive performance detection equipment to detect the working performance of the complete urea pump and store the defective products and qualified products separately. The empty tooling board continues to be transported forward to the second elevator. The second elevator is used to lower and transport the empty mounting board to the lower conveyor line. The lower conveyor line is used to transport the tooling board in the reverse direction to the front end of the lower conveyor line. The first elevator is used to lower and lift the tooling board on the lower conveyor line and transport it to the lifting and positioning mechanism to wait for placing the urea pump assembly when the lifting and positioning mechanism does not detect the tooling board.

[0015] The SP pump installation station includes a third manipulator, an SP pump feeding mechanism, and a second locking machine. The third manipulator is provided with an SP pump clamping claw and a pump body clamping claw. The second manipulator is also used to clamp the urea pump assembly with the pressure sensor and the PP pump installed on the pressure sensor and PP pump installation station with the pump body clamping claw and place it on the second locking machine.

Between the fixed piece limiting plate and the fixed piece limiting column, fixed pieces are stacked and placed. The lowermost one of a stack of fixed pieces is located at the feeding end. Multiple fixed pieces are stacked and placed on the chute inside the through hole. The lead screw slide rail is used to push the fixed piece at the feeding end forward along the chute to the discharging end through the push block.
[0019] The third manipulator is also used to use the pump body clamping claw to clamp and place the urea pump assembly with the SP pump installed at the SP pump installation station on the first pump body flipping mechanism at the pipe joint and fixed piece installation station. The fourth manipulator is used to, before the third manipulator places the urea pump assembly, use the pipe joint clamping claw to simultaneously clamp a group of three pipe joints on the pipe joint feeding mechanism and lift it to rotate the clamping end to the fixed piece clamping claw.

The fourth manipulator is also used to lift and rotate the clamping end to the fixed piece clamping claw after installing the pipe joint and install the fixed piece on the outside of the pipe joint of the urea pump assembly. After the sensor at the discharging end of the fixed piece feeding mechanism detects that the fixed piece has been clamped, the first lead screw guide rail drives the push block to reset and pushes the next fixed piece to move to the discharging end again, repeating the process of clamping and installing the fixed piece. The third locking machine is used to lock the fixed piece and the urea pump assembly through bolts to uniformly fix the three pipe joints. After the third locking machine locks the fixed piece, the first pump body flipping mechanism flips the urea pump assembly from the vertical state to the horizontal state and releases the fixation on the urea pump assembly.
[0020] Further, the installation station for the filter element rubber rod and the filter element cover includes a fifth robot, a sixth robot, a filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism, a filter element cover feeding mechanism, a cap screwing device, and a second pump body turning mechanism.

[0022] The cap screwing device includes a cap screwing motor, a pressing and resetting cylinder, a cap screwing fixture, a cylinder support frame, a connecting plate, a precision reducer, a stabilizing plate, and a first buffer.
[0023] The fifth manipulator is used to first clamp and pick up the filter element rubber rod conveyed by the filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism with the filter element rubber rod clamping claw and lift it, and then rotate the clamping end to replace it with the pump body clamping claw. The fifth manipulator is also used to clamp and pick up the urea pump assembly with the pipe joint and the fixing piece installed at the pipe joint and fixing piece installation station with the pump body clamping claw, place it on the second pump body flipping mechanism, and lift it to rotate the clamping end to replace it with the filter element rubber rod clamping claw. The second pump body flipping mechanism is used to fix and lock the urea pump assembly after detecting the urea pump assembly and flip the urea pump assembly from a horizontal state to a vertical state. The fifth manipulator is used to place the filter element rubber rod on the urea pump assembly after detecting that the urea pump assembly is flipped to a vertical state. The pushing cylinder is used to push the filter element cover to the through hole and drop it onto the belt conveyor after the sensor detects the filter element cover. Sensors for detecting whether there is a filter element cover at the feeding end of the intercepting cylinder and for detecting whether the filter element cover passes through the discharging end of the intercepting cylinder are respectively arranged at the feeding end and the discharging end of the intercepting cylinder. The intercepting cylinder is used to extend to intercept the subsequent filter element covers after both sensors detect the filter element cover, allowing only one filter element cover to pass through each time. A sensor for detecting whether the filter element cover reaches the clamping position is arranged at the clamping and positioning cylinder. The clamping and positioning cylinder is used to extend to clamp and position the filter element cover to the clamping position after the sensor detects the filter element cover.

The pressing and resetting cylinder is used to contract upward to drive the cap screwing fixture to move out of the filter element cover and reset after the filter element cover is screwed into the urea pump assembly. The second pump body flipping mechanism is used to flip the urea pump assembly back to the horizontal state and release the fixation of the urea pump assembly after detecting that the filter element cover is screwed into the urea pump assembly. The sixth manipulator is used to clamp and pick up the urea pump assembly with the filter element rubber rod and the filter element cover installed and place it on the lifting and positioning mechanism.
[0024] Further, lifting and clamping cylinders for clamping and positioning the tooling plates are provided on the manual assembly line, the double-layer double-speed chain conveyor line, and the lifting and positioning mechanism. There is one lifting and clamping cylinder at each station on the double-layer double-speed chain conveyor line. When the urea pump sensor at the corresponding station detects that a urea pump assembly is installed on the tooling plate, the lifting and clamping cylinder at the corresponding station will quickly rise to clamp and fix the tooling plate. When the urea pump sensor does not detect that a urea pump assembly is installed on the tooling plate, the lifting and clamping cylinder will not rise.
[0025] Further, the lifting and positioning mechanism includes a first profile frame, a roller conveyor line, a roller motor, and a positioning pin. The roller conveyor line is horizontally arranged on the first profile frame. The roller motor and the positioning pin are respectively arranged below the roller conveyor line. The roller motor is used to drive the roller conveyor line to rotate in the same direction as the first elevator to convey the tooling plate onto the roller conveyor line after the tooling plate sensor does not detect the tooling plate. The positioning pin is used to lift and position the tooling plate by passing through between multiple inserts after the tooling plate sensor detects the tooling plate. The positioning pin is used to lower and release the positioning after the urea pump sensor detects that the urea pump assembly is placed on the tooling plate. The roller motor is used to drive the roller conveyor line to convey the tooling plate onto the first elevator after the positioning pin descends.
[0026] The first elevator includes a second profile frame, a belt conveyor mechanism, a driving motor, and a lifting cylinder.

The driving motor is used to drive the belt conveyor mechanism to convey the tooling plate to the lifting and positioning mechanism after the belt conveyor mechanism resets. The driving motor is used to drive the belt conveyor mechanism to convey the tooling plate to the upper conveyor line in the same direction as the upper conveyor line after the urea pump assembly is placed on the tooling plate on the lifting and positioning mechanism. The second elevator has the same structure and operating principle as the first elevator.
[0027] Further, both the first airtightness detection station and the second airtightness detection station include an airtightness detection equipment body and an airtightness detection table. The airtightness detection table includes a pressing and fixing cylinder, a sealing component, a pushing cylinder, and a mounting rack. An mounting rack is arranged on the airtightness detection table, and a pushing cylinder is mounted on the mounting rack. A sealing component is arranged at the telescopic end of the pushing cylinder. Two pressing and fixing cylinders are arranged on the mounting rack on the left and right sides of the sealing component. The sealing component of the first airtightness detection station is three sealing joints corresponding to three pipe joints, and the sealing component of the second airtightness detection station is a single sealing joint corresponding to the waterproof breathable hole. An airtightness detection table is arranged on the airtightness detection body. When the tooling plate with the urea pump assembly is transported to the airtightness detection station, the lifting and clamping cylinder rises to fix the tooling plate. The pressing and fixing cylinder is used to descend and press-fix the urea pump assembly after the tooling plate is fixed. The pushing cylinder is used to push the sealing component to dock and seal with the three pipe joints or the waterproof breathable hole on the urea pump assembly after the urea pump assembly is fixed. The airtightness detection equipment body is used to inflate the inner side of the urea pump assembly through the sealing component at the docking port of the sealing component to detect the airtightness of the urea pump assembly. During inflation, pressure is maintained for a certain period of time, and the decay of the gas pressure in the pump is read. If the decay exceeds the specified value, it is defective; otherwise, it is qualified.
[0028] Further, the first defective product rejection mechanism includes a pushing cylinder, an electromagnetic fixture, and a defective product storage cabinet. The defective product storage cabinet is located on one side of the upper conveyor line. Both the pushing cylinder and the electromagnetic fixture are located inside the defective product storage cabinet. When the urea pump sensor of the first defective product rejection mechanism detects a defective urea pump assembly, the lifting and clamping cylinder at the first defective product rejection mechanism is used to rise and clamp the tooling plate. The pushing cylinder is used to push the electromagnetic fixture towards the fixed tooling plate. The electromagnetic fixture is used to adsorb and hold the magnetic iron block on the tooling plate. The lifting and clamping cylinder is used to descend and reset to release the clamping and fixing of the tooling plate after the electromagnetic fixture adsorbs and holds the tooling plate. The pushing cylinder is used to pull the electromagnetic fixture to reset after the lifting and clamping cylinder descends and resets. The reset of the electromagnetic fixture drives the tooling plate and the defective urea pump assembly to move inside the defective product storage cabinet and alarm. The second defective product rejection mechanism has the same structure and operating principle as the first defective product rejection mechanism.
[0029] Further, the wire harness arrangement station, the upper cover locking station, the lower cover locking station, and the waterproof breathable cap assembly station are all semi-automatic stations.

The fifth locking machine is used to install the lower cover on the flipped urea pump assembly. The waterproof breathable cap assembly station is provided with a second flipping mechanism and a waterproof breathable cap installation mechanism. The second flipping mechanism is used to flip the urea pump assembly installed with the lower cover by a certain degree again and place it on the forward fixing position of the tooling plate. The waterproof breathable cap installation mechanism is used to install the waterproof breathable cap on the flipped urea pump assembly. The wire harness arrangement station, the upper cover locking station, the lower cover locking station, and the waterproof breathable cap assembly station are all provided with reset buttons. After the reset buttons are triggered, they are used to lower and reset the lifting and clamping cylinders of the corresponding stations to release the tooling plate and convey it to the next station.
[0030] After the present invention adopts the above technical solutions, compared with the prior art, it has the following advantages:
[0031] Compared with traditional manual production, the production line of the present invention significantly improves production capacity and product consistency. The automated production line can run continuously, and the output is increased several times; precise assembly and on-line detection greatly improve the qualified rate and significantly reduce the rework rate. Thereby, the errors and costs caused by manual operation differences are reduced, and the overall production efficiency and quality management level are significantly enhanced.
[0032] The production line adopts a modular and flexible structure design, and each station unit can be flexibly increased, decreased, or adjusted according to needs. In this way, the production of different models of urea pumps can be quickly switched, and multi-variety mixed-line assembly can be realized. When the process is upgraded or the production capacity is expanded, only the relevant modules need to be replaced or transformed, and it has good scalability and upgrade potential. This flexible production mode meets the rapidly changing needs of the market and has obvious practical value and innovation advantages.
[0033] Industrial robots are used to undertake high-precision screwing and handling operations, and machine vision is combined to improve the detection accuracy. During the production process, production data is collected and traced in real time to realize the visual management and process traceability of the production process. Through automatic data analysis and intelligent decision support, the production plan and material scheduling can be dynamically optimized, effectively shortening the production cycle and improving production flexibility.

The double-speed chain conveyor line 13 is used to transport the tooling plate 26 with the installed urea pump assembly to the airtightness detection station through the upper conveyor line. The first airtightness detection station 16 is used to detect the airtightness inside the urea pump assembly after detecting the urea pump assembly, and send an allow-through signal to the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 when the detection is qualified, and send a non-allow-through signal to the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 when the detection is unqualified.

There is one lifting and clamping cylinder 27 at each station on the double-layer double-speed chain conveyor line 13. When the urea pump sensor at the corresponding station detects that the urea pump assembly is installed on the tooling plate 26, the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 at the corresponding station will quickly rise to clamp and fix the tooling plate 26.

If the attenuation exceeds the specified value, it is unacceptable, otherwise it is qualified.
[0086] As an embodiment, the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 includes a push cylinder, an electromagnetic clamp and a defective product storage cabinet. The defective product storage cabinet is located on one side of the upper conveyor line. The push cylinder and the electromagnetic clamp are both located inside the defective product storage cabinet. When the urea pump sensor of the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 detects a defective urea pump assembly, the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 at the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 is used to lift and clamp the tooling plate 26, and the push cylinder is used to push the electromagnetic clamp toward the fixed tooling plate 26. The electromagnetic clamp is used to absorb and clamp the magnetic iron block 2605 on the tooling plate 26. The lifting and clamping cylinder 27 is used to lower and reset to release the clamping of the tooling plate 26 after the electromagnetic clamp absorbs and clamps the tooling plate 26. The pushing cylinder is used to pull the electromagnetic clamp to reset after the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 is lowered and reset. The reset of the electromagnetic clamp drives the tooling plate 26 and the defective urea pump assembly to the inside of the defective product storage cabinet and alarms. The second defective product rejection mechanism 22 is consistent with the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 in structure and operation principle.
[0087] As an implementation manner, the wire harness arrangement station 18, the upper cover locking station 19, the lower cover locking station 20, and the waterproof breathable cap assembly station 23 are all semi-automatic stations. The upper cover locking station 19 is provided with a fourth locking machine for installing the upper cover. The lower cover locking station 20 is provided with a fifth locking machine and a first flipping mechanism. The first flipping mechanism is used to flip the urea pump assembly with the upper cover installed by 180 degrees and place it on the reverse fixing position of the tooling plate 26. The fifth locking machine is used to install the lower cover on the flipped urea pump assembly. The waterproof breathable cap assembly station 23 is provided with a second flipping mechanism and a waterproof breathable cap installation mechanism. The second flipping mechanism is used to flip the urea pump assembly with the lower cover installed by 180 degrees again and place it on the forward fixing position of the tooling plate 26. The waterproof breathable cap installation mechanism is used to install the waterproof breathable cap on the flipped urea pump assembly. The wire harness arrangement station 18, the upper cover locking station 19, the lower cover locking station 20, and the waterproof breathable cap assembly station 23 are all provided with reset buttons. After the reset buttons are triggered, they are used to lower and reset the lifting and clamping cylinders 27 of the corresponding stations to release the tooling plate 26 and convey it to the next station.
[0088] Specifically, the fourth locking machine and the fifth locking machine are electric locking machines manually operated by workers. The first flipping mechanism and the second flipping mechanism do not have specific mechanical structures, but are both manually flipped by workers, and the urea pump assembly is flipped 180 degrees manually by workers.
[0089] The working process of the present invention:
[0090] When the manual assembly line starts running, the operator places the middle housing face up on the tooling plate 26 at the starting end of the outer roller conveyor line 1402. At the temperature sensor and heating blanket installation station 2, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to clamp the tooling plate 26, and then install the temperature sensor, attach the heating blanket to the back of the middle housing in sequence, and tighten the 3 bolts on the back. Subsequently, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to release the tooling plate 26 and push it to the heating blanket back locking station 3. At the heating blanket back locking station 3, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to clamp the tooling plate 26, and then the operator tightens the remaining 7 bolts on the back of the heating blanket to lock the back of the heating blanket and the back of the middle housing. After completing the back fixing, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to release the tooling plate 26 and push it to the runner block seal and runner block installation station 4. At the runner block seal and runner block installation station 4, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to clamp the tooling plate 26, and then the operator first installs the runner block seal at the designated position on the back of the middle housing, and then assembles the runner block outside the seal. After completion, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to release the tooling plate 26 and push it to the heating blanket front locking station 5. At the heating blanket front locking station 5, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to clamp the tooling plate 26, and then the operator flips the middle housing to the front, tightens the 3 bolts on the front of the heating blanket, and then the operator presses the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to release the tooling plate 26 and push it to the overflow conduit, PP pump seal and SP pump seal installation station 6. At the overflow conduit, PP pump seal and SP pump seal installation station 6, press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to clamp the tooling plate 26, and then install the overflow conduit, PP pump seal and SP pump seal in sequence to form a preliminarily assembled urea pump assembly. Then press the button to control the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 to release the tooling plate 26 and transfer it to the pump body loading mechanism 903. The empty tooling plate 26 is turned to the inner roller conveyor line 1402 through the tail end bull's eye wheel mechanism, manually pushed to the head end bull's eye wheel mechanism, and then turned to the outer roller conveyor line 1402 to re-enter the cycle.
[0091] When the automatic assembly line starts running, first place various materials on the corresponding loading mechanisms, and all the loading mechanisms start to convey the corresponding materials.
[0092] The first manipulator 901 first uses the pressure sensor clamping jaws to pick up the pressure sensors conveyed by the pressure sensor feeding mechanism 904 and rises to the safe position, then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pump body clamping jaws. At the same time, the second manipulator 902 uses the PP pump clamping jaws to pick up the PP pumps conveyed by the PP pump feeding mechanism 905. Then, the first manipulator 901 uses the pump body clamping jaws to pick up the urea pump assembly conveyed by the pump body feeding mechanism 903 and places the urea pump assembly on the first locking machine 906 and rises to the safe position, then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pressure sensor clamping jaws. After detecting the urea pump assembly, the first locking machine 906 fixes the urea pump assembly. The first manipulator 901 places the pressure sensor on the fixed urea pump assembly and resets to move above the pressure sensor feeding mechanism 904 to pick up the next pressure sensor. Then, the second manipulator 902 moves above the first locking machine 906 to place the PP pump on the urea pump assembly on which the pressure sensor has been placed and rises to the safe position, then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pump body clamping jaws. After the pressure sensor and the PP pump are both placed on the urea pump assembly, the first locking machine 906 uses bolts to lock the pressure sensor and the PP pump to the urea pump assembly. The second manipulator 902 uses the pump body clamping jaws to pick up the urea pump assembly with the pressure sensor and the PP pump installed at the pressure sensor and PP pump installation station 9 and places it on the second locking machine 1003 and resets to move above the PP pump feeding mechanism 905 to pick up the next PP pump.
[0093] Before the second manipulator 902 picks up the urea pump assembly, the third manipulator 1001 uses the SP pump clamping jaws to pick up the SP pumps conveyed by the SP feeding mechanism.
[0094] After detecting the urea pump assembly, the second locking machine 1003 fixes the urea pump assembly. After the second manipulator 902 returns to the pressure sensor and PP pump installation station 9, the third manipulator 1001 places the SP pump on the fixed urea pump assembly and rises to the safe position, then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pump body clamping jaws. The second locking machine 1003 uses bolts to lock the SP pump to the urea pump assembly. The third manipulator 1001 uses the pump body clamping jaws to pick up the urea pump assembly with the SP pump installed at the SP pump installation station 10 and places it on the first pump body flipping mechanism 1105 at the pipe joint and fixing piece installation station 11 and resets to move above the SP pump feeding mechanism 1002 to pick up the next SP pump.
[0095] Before the third manipulator 1001 picks and places the urea pump assembly, the fourth manipulator 1101 first uses the pipe joint clamping claws to pick up a set of pipe joints conveyed by the pipe joint feeding mechanism 1102 and raises them to a safe position, and then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the fixing plate clamping claws. When the sensors on the fourth manipulator 1101 detect that the arrangement order of a set of three pipe joints on the pipe joint feeding mechanism 1102 does not correspond to the order of the three tubular clamping claws, the fourth manipulator 1101 skips this set of three pipe joints and picks up the next set of three pipe joints. Then, the fourth manipulator 1101 uses the fixing plate clamping claws to pick up the fixing plates conveyed by the fixing plate feeding mechanism 1103 and raises them to a safe position, and then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pipe joint clamping claws.
[0096] After detecting the urea pump assembly, the first pump body flipping mechanism 1105 fixes and locks the urea pump assembly and flips the urea pump assembly from the horizontal state to the vertical state. After the fourth manipulator 1101 detects that the urea pump assembly has been flipped to the vertical state and the third manipulator 1001 returns to the SP pump installation station 10, it places the pipe joints on the urea pump assembly, raises them to a safe position, and rotates the clamping end to replace it with the fixing plate clamping claws.
[0097] When fixing plate feeding is required, the lead screw slide rail drives the push block to push the fixing plates to the grasping position. The push block can just push out one fixing plate when feeding. When the clamping sensor recognizes that the fourth manipulator 1101 has picked up the fixing plate, the lead screw slide rail retracts the push block to the initial position, and the remaining fixing plates are restricted by the stock plate. After the push block pushes out one fixing plate, the next fixing plate falls on the chute due to gravity. When the push block pushes the fixing plate to the specified position and returns and passes the fixing plate stock position again, the design of the push block with a higher front and a lower rear makes it not get stuck when retracting and does not affect the position of the fixing plate. After reaching the initial position, the push block continues to wait for the next feeding signal from the sensor at the front end of the support plate. When the sensor detects that the number of fixing plates is insufficient, it triggers a signal to remind the worker to replenish the materials. The fourth manipulator 1101 places the fixing plates on the urea pump assembly, raises them to a safe position, rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pipe joint clamping claws, and moves above the pipe joint feeding mechanism 1102 to pick up the next set of pipe joints. After the sensor on the first pump body flipping mechanism 1105 recognizes the fixing plates, the rotary cylinder rotates the fixing plate pressing rod to press the fixing plates.
[0098] After the three pipe joints and the fixing plates are in place, the third locking machine 1104 sucks the bolts and locks the fixing plates on the urea pump assembly. After locking, the third locking machine 1104 resets.
[0099] After the first pump body flipping mechanism 1105 detects the reset of the third locking machine 1104, the rotary cylinder drives the fixing plate pressing rod to reset, the telescopic cylinder extends the telescopic rod to push the mounting plate to flip and reset, and the pressing cylinder located on the mounting plate resets at the same time to release the fixation of the urea pump assembly.
[0100] The fifth manipulator 1201 uses the filter element rubber rod clamping claws to pick up the filter element rubber rod conveyed by the filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism 1203 and raises it to a safe position, then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the pump body clamping claws. Then, the fifth manipulator 1201 uses the pump body clamping claws to pick up the urea pump assembly with the pipe joint and the fixing piece installed at the pipe joint and fixing piece installation station 11 and places it on the second pump body turning mechanism 1206, and raises it to a safe position, then rotates the clamping end to replace it with the rubber rod clamping claws. After detecting the urea pump assembly, the second pump body turning mechanism 1206 fixes and locks the urea pump assembly and turns the urea pump assembly from a horizontal state to a vertical state. After detecting that the urea pump assembly has been turned to a vertical state, the fifth manipulator 1201 places the filter element rubber rod on the urea pump assembly and returns above the filter element rubber rod feeding mechanism 1203 to pick up the filter element rubber rod. When it is necessary to convey the filter element cover, the push cylinder on the material rack near the tail end of the belt conveyor gives priority to pushing. The sensor sends a start pushing signal to the push cylinder, and the push cylinder starts to push the filter element covers on the material rack one by one onto the belt conveyor. When the number of filter element covers is less than the specified number, the corresponding sensor lights up a red light to remind the staff to add filter element covers in time. After the filter element covers on the first material rack are pushed out, the sensor sends a stop pushing signal to the push cylinder, and the first material rack waits for the staff to add filter element covers. The sensor on the adjacent next material rack controls the push cylinder to start pushing the filter element covers until the filter element covers on the last material rack are pushed out, and a new round of pushing cycle starts.
[0101] The belt conveyor sequentially conveys the filter element covers to the tail end. After both sensors at the feeding end and the discharging end of the intercepting cylinder detect the filter element covers, the intercepting cylinder intercepts the filter element covers on the belt conveyor, and only one filter element cover is released at a time and moves to the clamping and positioning cylinder. The clamping and positioning cylinder clamps and positions the filter element cover. After the filter element cover is positioned, a clamping signal is sent to the lead screw slide rail and the cap screwing device 1205.
[0102] The electric slide rail drives the cap screwing device 1205 to move to the clamping position at the front end of the lead screw slide rail. The pressing and resetting cylinder pushes the connecting plate to descend. After the stabilizing plate contacts the first buffer, the descending speed of the cap screwing fixture is reduced. The pressing and resetting cylinder starts to drive the cap screwing fixture to press into the filter element cover. The elastic metal sheet on the cap screwing fixture clamps the filter element cover through elastic extrusion force. The pressing and resetting cylinder pushes the connecting plate to rise to clamp the filter element cover, and the intercepting cylinder releases one filter element cover to the clamping and positioning cylinder.
[0103] After the filter element rubber rod is installed, the electric slide rail drives the cap screwing device 1205 to move to the installation position at the rear end of the electric slide rail. The cap screwing fixture aligns with the installation position on the urea pump assembly. The pressing and resetting cylinder pushes the connecting plate downward. The cap screwing motor drives the cap screwing fixture to screw the filter element cap into the urea pump assembly and tighten it. The pressing and resetting cylinder pushes the connecting plate upward to pull out the cap screwing fixture from the filter element cap. After the second pump body flipping mechanism 1206 detects that the filter element cap is screwed into the urea pump assembly, the telescopic cylinder pushes the flipping mounting plate to reset. The pressing cylinder releases the fixation on the urea pump assembly. The sixth manipulator 1202 uses the pump body clamping claws to clamp and move the urea pump assembly installed with the filter element rubber rod and the filter element cap to the jacking and positioning mechanism 14
[0104] When the detection line starts to operate, after the lifting and positioning mechanism 14 fails to detect the empty tooling plate 26, the first elevator 15 descends to lift and convey the empty tooling plate 26 on the lower conveyor line to the lifting and positioning mechanism 14. After the lifting and positioning mechanism 14 detects the tooling plate 26, the positioning pins 1404 and the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 lift together to fix the tooling plate 26, waiting for the urea pump assembly to be placed. The urea pump assembly is placed on the tooling plate 26, and the lifting and positioning mechanism 14 lifts and conveys the tooling plate 26 with the urea pump assembly installed to the first elevator 15. The first elevator 15 conveys the tooling plate 26 to the upper conveyor line of the double-layer double-speed chain conveyor line 13. The tooling plate 26 passes through the first airtightness detection station 16. The lifting and clamping cylinder 27 rises to fix the tooling plate 26, the pressing and fixing cylinder 2801 descends to press and fix the urea pump assembly, and the pushing cylinder 2803 pushes the sealing component 2802 to dock and seal with the three pipe joints on the urea pump assembly. The airtightness detection equipment body inflates the inner side of the urea pump assembly through the sealing component 2802 to detect the airtightness inside the urea pump assembly. During inflation, pressure is maintained for a certain period of time, and the attenuation of the gas pressure in the pump is read. If the attenuation exceeds the specified value, it is defective; otherwise, it is qualified. If the airtightness is detected to be unqualified, the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 conveys the defective urea pump assembly to the corresponding defective product storage cabinet and alarms waiting for processing; if it is qualified, it continues to be conveyed. The tooling plate 26 is conveyed to the wire harness arrangement station 18, and the wire harness on the urea pump assembly is arranged manually. After the wire harness arrangement is completed, the operator manually presses the reset button, and the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 descends to reset and release the tooling plate 26. The upper conveyor line conveys the tooling plate 26 to the upper cover locking station 19. The operator operates the first locking machine 906 to install and lock the upper cover on the urea pump assembly. After the upper cover installation is completed, the operator manually presses the reset button, and the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 descends to reset and release the tooling plate 26. The upper conveyor line conveys the tooling plate 26 to the lower cover locking station 20. The operator turns the urea pump assembly over and operates the second locking machine 1003 to install and lock the lower cover on the urea pump assembly. After the lower cover installation is completed, the operator manually presses the reset button, and the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 descends to reset and release the tooling plate 26. The upper conveyor line conveys the tooling plate 26 to the second airtightness detection station 21, and the sealing component 2802 docks with the waterproof breathable hole to detect the airtightness between the urea pump assembly and the upper cover and the lower cover. If the airtightness is detected to be unqualified, the second defective product rejection mechanism 22 conveys the defective urea pump assembly to the corresponding defective product storage cabinet and alarms waiting for processing; if it is qualified, it continues to be conveyed.The tooling board 26 is transported to the waterproof breathable cap assembly station 23. The operator flips the urea pump assembly to the positive direction and installs the waterproof breathable cap to form a complete urea pump. After the installation of the waterproof breathable cap is completed, the operator manually presses the reset button, and the lifting and clamping cylinder 27 descends and resets to release the tooling board 26. The upper conveyor line transports the tooling board 26 to the comprehensive performance inspection station 25. The operator removes the complete urea pump from the tooling board 26 to inspect various working performances, and stores the defective products and non-defective products separately. The upper conveyor line continues to transport the empty tooling board 26 to the second elevator 24. After the second elevator 24 detects the empty tooling board 26, it descends and transports it to the lower conveyor line. The lower conveyor line transports the tooling board 26 in the reverse direction to the front end of the lower conveyor line. When the lifting positioning mechanism 14 of the first elevator 15 does not detect the tooling board 26, it descends to lift the tooling board 26 on the lower conveyor line and transports it to the lifting positioning mechanism 14 to wait for placing a new urea pump assembly.
[0105] The defective urea pump assemblies at the first defective product rejection mechanism 17 and the second defective product rejection mechanism 22 are taken away by the staff for processing. The first defective product rejection mechanism 17 and the second defective product rejection mechanism 22 push the empty tooling board 26 back to the upper conveyor line for recycling, and the empty tooling board 26 will not be stopped by the lifting and clamping cylinder 27.
[0106] When the tray loading mechanism works, the operator places the empty tray on the first feeding plate, and both the full tray supporting mechanism and the empty tray supporting mechanism are in the initial state. After the operator fills the tray placed on the first feeding plate with materials, the operator manually starts the control box switch to make the full tray supporting mechanism descend.
[0107] When the full tray supporting mechanism senses that the second feeding plate is flush with the first feeding plate, the stepping motor stops rotating and the full tray supporting mechanism stops descending. The operator pushes the full tray from the first feeding plate to the second feeding plate. The full tray supporting mechanism descends again to prepare to receive the next tray of materials. After the full tray supporting mechanism descends to a specified height, the motor stops rotating. The operator pushes the second full tray to the second feeding plate and repeats the above steps. When the full tray supporting mechanism detects that the bottom of the topmost tray on the second feeding plate is flush with the third feeding plate, the first air cylinder horizontally pushes the topmost tray onto the third feeding plate. After the third feeding plate detects the tray, the first air cylinder stops pushing and resets. The tray continues to move forward under the action of inertia until it contacts the oil buffer and stops at a specified position. At the same time, the positioning air cylinder rises to fix the tray. The external manipulator takes away the materials on the tray. When the materials on the tray are all grabbed, the external manipulator sends a signal to release the fixation to the positioning air cylinder. The positioning air cylinder descends to release the fixation of the tray. At the same time, the external manipulator sends a pushing signal to the second air cylinder. The second air cylinder pushes the empty tray to the left to the discharging position of the third feeding plate. After the third feeding plate detects that the empty tray has moved to the specified position of the discharging position, the empty tray supporting mechanism descends until the empty tray supporting mechanism senses that the second feeding plate is flush with the third feeding plate, and pushes the empty tray onto the empty tray supporting mechanism for placement. Then the second air cylinder sends a rising signal to the full tray supporting mechanism. The full tray supporting mechanism rises until the bottom of the topmost tray is flush with the third feeding plate. The first air cylinder drags the new tray onto the third feeding plate. Repeat the above steps until all the trays on the full tray supporting mechanism are pushed out, completing a large cycle. The operator pushes a new full tray onto the full tray supporting mechanism and recovers the empty trays on the empty tray supporting mechanism for the next cycle.
