With reference to the national occupational skill standards for industrial robot system operators and industrial robot system operators, as well as the national standards for industrial robot performance specifications and test methods, it adopts a modular design and integrates the operation and maintenance type industrial robot body and control cabinet, flexible workbench, PLC electrical control system, industrial camera system and lens-composed visual system, human-computer interaction interface, quick-change tooling, safety gratings and warning lights, grinding units, assembly units, and workpiece tooling, providing an industrial robot operation and maintenance platform that can perform industrial robot system operation, industrial robot system operation and maintenance, and industrial robot performance testing.

[0004] However, there are also some problems with the current industrial robot operation and maintenance platform:

[0005] First of all, the robots and various modules on general robot operation and maintenance equipment need to be replaced according to different processing tasks, but the existing equipment generally cannot be disassembled and installed simply and conveniently.

[0006] Secondly, during the assessment process, some operations that are not related to the assessment take a long time, affecting the assessment efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0007] The present invention provides an industrial robot operation and maintenance platform to solve the technical problems in the prior art.

[0008] To solve the above problems, the industrial robot operation and maintenance platform provided by the present invention adopts the following technical solutions: comprising a cabinet, the upper surface of which is provided with a flexible workbench;

[0009] A six-axis robot, which is fixed to the flexible workbench by bolts;

[0010] The positioner module is located on the side of the six-axis robot. The positioner module is used to switch working positions. The positioner module is defined to be located on the right side of the six-axis robot.

[0011] A quick-change tool module is located on the front side of the six-axis robot and is used to store quick-change tools.

[0012] A performance detection module is provided in front of the quick-change tool module and is used to detect the calibration of the six-axis robot. The performance detection module includes a support column and a three-dimensional support frame installed on top of the support column. The three-dimensional support frame includes three identical square support plates, the edges of the three support plates are perpendicular to each other and fixedly connected, and each support plate is installed with a displacement digital display, which is connected to a data acquisition line.

[0013] The track drawing board module is set on the left side of the six-axis robot and is used for track testing;

[0014] The three-dimensional warehouse is located on the left side of the six-axis robot and is used to store materials.

[0015] A visual inspection module is provided at the rear of the high-bay warehouse and is used to inspect materials.

[0016] The conveyor belt module is arranged at the rear side of the six-axis robot and is used to transport materials.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, on the one hand, it can meet the teaching and assessment of industrial robot professional skills training, professional skills certification content, and industrial robot system operator competition; on the other hand, the operation and maintenance system of the present invention can greatly improve the assessment efficiency.

[0018] By incorporating modules such as a positioner module, a quick-change tool module, and a trackpad module, the present invention enables data collection, status monitoring, fault analysis and diagnosis, repair, and preventive maintenance for industrial robots, industrial robot workstations, or systems. Furthermore, the system can be used for training and assessment of industrial robot and system operation and maintenance skills, as well as industrial robot performance testing, for students majoring in industrial robotics, electrical engineering, automation, and related disciplines at various institutions. It also serves as practical training equipment for industrial robotics and related disciplines, improving students' ability to operate and maintain industrial robot systems.

[0019] The performance detection module of the present invention can complete the performance detection of the six-axis robot in just one time, which greatly improves the detection efficiency compared with the previous three-time detection.

[0020] As a further improvement, the positioner module includes a protective box fixedly mounted on the flexible workbench, the outer side of the protective box is rotatably equipped with a positioner frame through a bearing, a servo motor for driving the positioner frame to rotate is fixedly mounted inside the protective box, and a clamping cylinder for fixing the workpiece is fixedly mounted on the positioner frame.

[0021] By adopting this technical solution, industrial operation scenarios can be simulated to help students familiarize themselves with processes such as welding and gluing. The positioner module can perform rotation and tilting movements, securing the workpiece in a more convenient position and reducing operational difficulty.

[0026] As a further improvement, one side of the drawing board body is a plane, the other side of the drawing board body is a curved surface, and patterns are provided on both the front and back sides of the drawing board body.

[0027] The above technical solution helps students master the control of six-axis robots. The drawing board can be tilted to any angle by adjusting the bolts, preventing students from repeating the same trajectory. Furthermore, this trajectory drawing board module can simulate the various spatial positions that workpieces may assume in actual production, such as complex workpiece surfaces such as pipeline processing and curved surface processing. This trajectory drawing board module can help students adapt to such scenarios in advance and improve their operational capabilities in non-planar environments.

[0028] As a further improvement, the visual inspection module is installed on a lifting operating platform so that the height of the visual inspection module can be adjusted through the lifting operating platform.

[0029] As a further improvement, the lifting operating platform is a manual lifting operating platform.

[0031] By adopting the above technical solution, the student's operation process can be recorded.

[0032] As a further improvement, safety gratings are fixedly mounted on the two protection bars on the front side of the cabinet.

[0033] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution of the present invention are as follows:

[0034] 1.

[0048] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Those skilled in the art should know that the embodiments described below are part of the embodiments of the present disclosure, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0049] In existing technology, robots and various modules on industrial robot operation and maintenance platforms need to be replaced according to different processing tasks, but existing equipment generally cannot be easily and conveniently disassembled and installed. During the assessment process, some operations unrelated to the assessment are time-consuming, affecting assessment efficiency.

[0050] In order to solve the above problem, the present invention improves convenience by providing a flexible working platform to flexibly configure functional modules and adjust the layout positions of configured functional modules.

[0051] The positioner module simulates industrial operation scenarios, helping students familiarize themselves with processes like welding and gluing. The positioner module can rotate and tilt workpieces, securing them in a more convenient position and reducing operational complexity. For irregularly shaped workpieces or those with multiple machining surfaces, the positioner can be used to adjust the work position and minimize positioning deviations.

[0052] The performance testing module of the present invention can complete the performance testing and displacement data collection of a six-axis robot in a single test, significantly improving testing efficiency compared to the previous three-step testing process. During testing, a test workpiece mounted on the end of the robot applies pressure to the central axis of the spatial coordinate system formed by the three-dimensional support frame. This action causes the displacement of the displacement digital display probe to change accordingly. Subsequently, by collecting data from the displacement digital display and analyzing the individual data, the robot's positioning accuracy and repeatability can be quantitatively analyzed.

[0053] After introducing the basic principles of the present invention, various non-limiting embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below. The numbers of any elements in the drawings are for illustration only and not for limitation, and any names are for distinction only and do not have any limiting meaning.

[0054] The principles and spirit of the present invention are explained in detail below with reference to several representative embodiments of the present invention.

[0055] Example 1 of the industrial robot operation and maintenance platform provided by the present invention:

[0056] like Figure 1-Figure 7 As shown, the industrial robot operation and maintenance platform includes a cabinet, a six-axis robot 2, a positioner module 5, a quick-change tool module 9, a performance detection module 8, a track drawing board module 10, a three-dimensional warehouse 12, a visual inspection module 14 and a conveyor belt module 17, etc.

[0057] A flexible workbench 7 is provided on the upper surface of the cabinet. The flexible work platform can flexibly configure functional modules and adjust the layout positions of the configured functional modules, thereby improving convenience.

[0058] A six-axis robot 2, which is fixed on a flexible workbench 7 by bolts;

[0059] The positioner module 5 is arranged next to the six-axis robot 2. The positioner module 5 is used to switch the working position. It is defined that the positioner module 5 is located on the right side of the six-axis robot 2. The positioner module 5 can simulate industrial operation scenes to help students become familiar with welding, gluing and other processes.

[0060] The positioner module 5 includes a protective box 501 fixedly mounted on the flexible workbench 7. The outer side of the protective box 501 is rotatably equipped with a positioner 502 through a bearing. A servo motor for driving the positioner 502 to rotate is fixedly mounted inside the protective box 501. A clamping cylinder for fixing the workpiece is fixedly mounted on the positioner 502.

[0061] In this embodiment, the cylinder assembly of the positioner module 5 uses a single air pipe structure. Currently, the cylinder assembly on the positioner module 5 uses an upper air pipe, that is, one air inlet pipe and one air outlet pipe. If an operator forgets to reset the positioner module 5 and another operator attempts to operate it again, the two air pipes can easily become entangled. In this embodiment, the cylinder assembly uses a single air pipe structure, that is, one air pipe controls both air inlet and air outlet, avoiding the problem of air pipe entanglement.

[0062] A quick-change tool module 9 is located on the front side of the six-axis robot 2 and is used to store quick-change tools;

[0063] The performance detection module 8 is arranged in front of the quick-change tool module 9. The performance detection module 8 is used to detect the calibration status of the six-axis robot 2; the performance detection module 8 includes a support column 801 and a three-dimensional support frame 802 installed on the top of the support column 801. The three-dimensional support frame 802 includes three identical square support plates. The edges of the three support plates are perpendicular to each other and fixedly connected. A displacement digital display 803 is installed on each support plate, and the displacement digital display 803 is connected to the data acquisition line.

[0064] The displacement digital display 803 is perpendicular to the support plate. A pressure-bearing piece 804 for cooperating with a detection tool is fixedly mounted on the detection probe of the displacement digital display 803.

[0065] By adopting the above technical solution, the detection accuracy can be ensured. The pressure-bearing piece 804 fits the spherical detection tool, preventing the detection probe from being sharp and wearing the detection tool.

[0066] The track drawing board module 10 is arranged on the left side of the six-axis robot 2. The track drawing board module 10 is used for track testing. The track drawing board module 10 includes a mounting frame 1001 fixedly mounted on the flexible workbench 7. The drawing board body 1003 is rotatably mounted on the mounting frame 1001. Adjustment bolts 1002 for adjusting the angle of the drawing board body 1003 are also provided on both sides of the mounting frame 1001.

[0067] One side of the drawing board body 1003 is a flat surface, and the other side of the drawing board body 1003 is a curved surface. Patterns are provided on both the front and back sides of the drawing board body 1003.

[0068] The track drawing board module 10 of the present invention is helpful in helping students master the control of the six-axis robot 2. By adjusting the bolt 1002, the drawing board body 1003 can be tilted to any angle to prevent students from repeating the same trajectory. In addition, the track drawing board module 10 can also simulate the various spatial postures of workpieces in actual production, such as pipeline processing, curved surface processing, and other complex workpiece surfaces. The track drawing board module 10 of the present invention can help students adapt to such scenarios in advance and improve students' operational capabilities in non-planar environments.

[0069] A three-dimensional warehouse 12 is provided on the left side of the six-axis robot 2 and is used for storing materials;

[0070] The visual inspection module 14 is arranged at the rear side of the high-bay warehouse 12 and is used to inspect materials. In this embodiment, the visual inspection module 14 is installed on a lifting platform 15 so that the height of the visual inspection module 14 can be adjusted by the lifting platform 15.

[0071] In this embodiment, the lifting operation platform 15 is a manual lifting operation platform 15, which includes a screw and nut structure. A handwheel is set on the top of the screw and nut structure. By turning the handwheel to drive the screw to rotate, the visual inspection module 14 can be controlled to rise and fall.

[0072] The conveyor belt module 17 is arranged at the rear side of the six-axis robot 2. The conveyor belt module 17 is used to convey materials. The conveyor belt module 17 is equipped with an encoder. By detecting the pulse frequency or period output by the encoder, the linear speed of the conveyor belt can be accurately calculated to ensure that the material conveying speed meets the production requirements.

[0073] The four corners of the cabinet are also fixedly installed with protective bars, and a camera module 4 for detecting student operations is fixedly installed on one of the protective bars, which can record the student's operation process.

[0074] Safety light grids 6 are fixedly mounted on the two protection bars on the front side of the cabinet.

[0075] In addition, the flexible workbench 7 of the present invention is further provided with a computer module 13, a stacking rack 11, a waste storage box 18 and other structures.
