Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the intersecting technical field of textile machinery and automobile parts production equipment, relates to automobile interior decoration manufacturing automation equipment, and specifically relates to automobile roof fabric conveying and turning equipment. Background Art
[0002] Car roof fabrics generally have a rubber side and a fabric side. In order to prevent the rubber side from sticking to the conveyor line during transportation, they are usually laid with the rubber side facing up and the fabric side facing down.
[0003] In order to subsequently press the car roof fabric down onto the inverted car roof frame, it is generally necessary to turn the car roof fabric over so that the adhesive surface of the car roof fabric faces downward, thereby facilitating the adhesion of the pressed adhesive surface to the car roof frame.
[0004] However, there are currently the following technical problems in turning over the car roof fabric:
[0005] (1) Low efficiency of manual turning: Traditionally, soft fabrics are turned manually, which can easily lead to fabric stretching and deformation or glue layer contamination due to inconsistent operations.
[0006] (2) Risk of mechanical damage: Using a rigid robotic arm to directly clamp the car roof fabric can easily damage the rubber surface.
[0007] (3) Insufficient positioning accuracy: If a hard robotic arm is used to clamp and flip the car roof fabric, the front and rear ends of the fabric are prone to offset, resulting in position misalignment after flipping, affecting the subsequent process docking.
[0008] (4) Timing control blind spot: If a hard robotic arm is used, the purely mechanical device cannot sense the position of the fabric, which may easily cause the gripper to grab the car roof fabric without grabbing it or colliding.
[0009] (5) Insufficient coordination: When the flipping action does not match the conveyor line speed, the fabric is prone to accumulation or tearing.
[0010] (6) Poor process adaptability: The thickness of different car roof fabrics requires manual adjustment of parameters, which affects the yield rate. Summary of the Invention

[0090] Therefore, the automobile roof fabric conveying and turning device of this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0091] (1) Through the coordination of the front-end clamping assembly, the flap assembly and the rear-end clamping assembly, the front and rear ends of the soft fabric are clamped respectively, so as to achieve precise flipping of the fabric and maintain transmission continuity.
[0092] (2) Through multiple sensors (second detection sensor and third detection sensor) + central control unit (third control unit), real-time detection of fabric position + action triggering + closed-loop control of multi-mechanism collaboration is realized, which improves the flipping success rate and production line compatibility and realizes full-process automated decision-making.
[0093] Furthermore, the front-end clamping assembly includes: a first moving part, which is movably arranged below the conveyor line along the x-axis direction through a guide rail, and the first moving part is connected to a third control unit so that its displacement is controlled by it; a first rotating part, which has a first roller, and the first roller passes through the first moving part along the y-axis direction and the first roller can rotate around its own axis in the y-axis direction, and the first rotating part is connected to the third control unit so that it controls the first roller to rotate around its own axis in the y-axis direction; and a first clamping jaw part, which has a plurality of front-end clamping jaws, and the plurality of front-end clamping jaws are distributed on the first roller along the y-axis direction so that they are driven to rotate around the y-axis direction, and the initial opening direction of the plurality of front-end clamping jaws is upward along the z-axis direction, and the second detection sensor is used to detect whether the front end droops along the yz plane to the opening of the front-end clamping jaw after being transmitted via the conveyor line, and the first clamping jaw part is connected to the third control unit so that it controls the plurality of front-end clamping jaws to clamp the front end drooping along the yz plane to its opening.
[0094] Such a setting has the following beneficial effects: the front-end clamping jaw integrates displacement + rotation + clamping functions, and the action is triggered by the sensor to avoid manual judgment errors.
[0095] Furthermore, the third control unit detects through the second detection sensor that the front end droops along the yz plane to the opening of the front end clamp after being transmitted through the conveyor line, and then controls several front end clamps to clamp the front end, and controls the first moving part to move along the x-axis direction in the direction opposite to the transmission direction. When the third control unit detects through the third detection sensor that the rear end reaches the upper area between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line, it controls the drive and the front end clamping assembly to stop running, and then controls the flap assembly to lift the rear end and cooperatively controls the rear end clamping assembly to clamp the rear end. During the displacement of the first moving part, the third control unit cooperatively controls the first roller to rotate around its own y-axis axis until the opening of the front end clamp is facing along the x-axis direction and toward the transmission direction. The rotation angle of the first roller is 90°.
[0096] Such an arrangement has the following beneficial effects: clamping is performed immediately after detecting sagging, and then the front end is synchronously rotated 90° during the reverse movement, which can effectively shorten the process time.
[0097] Furthermore, the third detection sensor is used to detect whether there is soft fabric material staying above the side of the flap assembly at the end of the conveying of the first conveyor line. The method for the third detection sensor to detect whether the rear end has reached the area where the flap assembly is located is: when the third detection sensor detects that there is no soft fabric material above the side of the flap assembly at the end of the conveying of the first conveyor line, it means that the rear end has reached the area where the flap assembly is located.
[0098] Such an arrangement has the following beneficial effects: the third sensor simplifies detection installation through the "no material, in place" logic, reducing equipment complexity.
[0099] Furthermore, the flip assembly includes: a transmission plate, whose two ends are respectively marked as a free end and a fixed end, the free end is located in the y-axis direction area between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line, and the fixed end is rotatably fixed around the y-axis direction to the side of the y-axis direction area between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line. There are two transmission plates and they are arranged along the y-axis direction. The connection direction of the free end and the fixed end is initially towards the conveying direction; a flip plate, which is arranged between the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line, and the two ends of the flip plate are respectively fixed by two free ends, and the flip plate is initially flush with the upper side of the conveyor line; and a flip cylinder, whose main body is fixed to the lower side of the transmission plate in the z-axis direction, and the power output shaft of the flip cylinder is connected to the free end. The flip cylinder is connected to the third control unit so that it is controlled to operate so that the transmission plate rotates around the fixed end, and drives the two flip plates with fixed free ends to flip a certain angle to lift the rear end, and the angle does not exceed 90°.
[0100] Such an arrangement has the following beneficial effects: the angle limit of the flap cylinder (≤90°) ensures that the fabric is not folded and damaged when it is lifted.
[0101] Furthermore, the rear end clamping assembly includes: a second movable part, which is movably arranged above the conveyor line through a guide rail, and the second movable part is connected to a third control unit so as to be controlled by it to move in the x-axis direction; a third movable part, which is movably arranged on the second movable part along the z-axis direction through a guide rail, and the third movable part is connected to a third control unit so as to be controlled by it to move; a second rotating part, which has a second roller, and the second roller passes through the third movable part along the y-axis direction and the second roller can rotate around its own axis in the y-axis direction, and the second rotating part is connected to the third control unit so as to be controlled by it to rotate the second roller around its own axis in the y-axis direction; and a second clamping part, which has a plurality of rear end clamping jaws, and the plurality of rear end clamping jaws are distributed on the second roller along the y-axis direction so as to be driven by it to rotate around the y-axis direction, and the initial opening direction of the plurality of rear end clamping jaws is directly downward along the z-axis direction, or obliquely downward along the z-axis direction and pointing to the area of the second conveyor line, and the second clamping jaw part is connected to the third control unit so as to be controlled by it to clamp the rear end of the flip assembly.
[0102] Such an arrangement has the following beneficial effects: the three degrees of freedom (x / z movement + y rotation) of the rear end clamp adapts to the dynamic posture after the flap is lifted.
[0103] Furthermore, after the third control unit controls the rear end clamping assembly to clamp the raised rear end of the flap assembly, it controls the front end clamping jaw to move along the x-axis direction in the direction opposite to the conveying direction, and at the same time, cooperatively controls the second moving part to move along the x-axis direction in the conveying direction and controls the third moving part to move downward along the z-axis direction, until the front and rear positions of the rear end clamping jaw and the front end clamping jaw in the x-axis direction are swapped and are at the same height in the z-axis direction and the distance between the rear end clamping jaw and the front end clamping jaw can make the soft fabric taut in the x-axis direction. During the displacement of the second moving part and the third moving part, the third control unit cooperatively controls the second roller to rotate around its own y-axis axis until the opening of the rear end clamping jaw is facing along the x-axis direction and in the direction opposite to the conveying direction, and the spin angle range of the second roller is [90°, 180°).
[0104] Such an arrangement has the following beneficial effects: the front and rear clamps move in coordination to tighten the fabric, while the rear clamp rotates 90° to 180° to eliminate torsional stress.
[0105] Furthermore, the angle between the initial opening direction of the rear end clamp and the conveying direction is recorded as θ1, and the angle between the direction of the raised rear end of the flap assembly and the conveying direction is recorded as θ2, θ1+θ2=180°.
[0106] Such an arrangement has the following beneficial effects: the geometric constraint of θ1+θ2=180° is maintained, ensuring the optimization of the flipping path.
[0107] Furthermore, the control process of the third control unit includes the following steps: S10, after detecting that the front end has drooped to the specified position in the yz plane direction through the second detection sensor, the front end clamp is controlled to clamp the front end and pull it to move along the x-axis in the direction opposite to the transmission direction, and during the displacement process, the front end clamp is cooperatively controlled to rotate around the y-axis so that the front end is finally moved along the x-axis in the direction opposite to the transmission direction; S20, when the third detection sensor detects that the rear end reaches above the area where the flap assembly is located, the drive is controlled to stop running and the front end clamp is controlled to stop moving; S30, the flap assembly is controlled to lift the rear end; S40, the rear end clamp is controlled to clamp the lifted The rear end of the fabric is finally turned over along the x-axis direction, until the front end and the rear end are in the same xy plane and the distance between the front end and the rear end in the x direction reaches the set value, thereby finally turning over the soft fabric. S60: control the front end clamp to pull the front end to move along the x-axis direction toward the transmission direction and cooperate with the rear end clamp to transport the turned over soft fabric along the x-axis direction toward the transmission direction.
[0108] Such a setting has the following beneficial effects: a standardized operation sequence is formed through the six-step control process of S10-S60, which is applicable to different batches of fabrics and effectively improves the yield rate.
