The upper yoke needs to be removed first, and then after the completion of the winding assembly of the transformer, the upper yoke removed in the previous process is inserted back to the original position piece by piece and in sequence according to the removal order. The number of conventional core upper yokes is generally about 1000 pieces. In order to improve work efficiency, an automatic dismounting device for the upper yoke has appeared, which controls the mechanical hand to grab, move and place the upper yoke, so as to realize the automatic installation of the transformer upper yoke.

The support positioning device 7 is installed on a transfer trolley, and in the present embodiment, an RGV transfer trolley is used. The support positioning device 7 is used for placing the body 12 and the upper yoke 5. The storage rack 6 is placed on the support positioning device 7 and is used to accommodate the upper yoke 5 pulled out in one piece by the yoke dismounting manipulator 1. The storage rack 6 can move with the transfer trolley between the dismounting station and an inserting station. The yoke inserting manipulator 13 is fixedly installed at the inserting station and is used to insert the upper yoke 5 in the storage rack 6 back onto the core in sequence.

[0022] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the yoke dismounting manipulator 1 comprises a four-axis manipulator 2 and a gripper 3. The four-axis manipulator 2 is a manipulator structure with visual recognition function and has degrees of freedom of X-axis (horizontal direction moving axis, i.e. transverse axis), Y-axis (vertical direction moving axis, i.e. longitudinal axis), Z-axis (vertical direction rotating axis) and R-axis (horizontal direction rotating wrist axis). Two oppositely arranged grippers 3 are installed at the end of the four-axis manipulator 2 to imitate human hand actions. The gripper 3 comprises three sections of finger segments 4. The finger segments 4 are long strip structures and are arranged in sequence. The adjacent finger segments 4 are hingedly connected and are driven by a driving assembly, such as a motor and a gear, between them. The motor rotation generates torque, and the gear meshing converts the rotary motion into the flexion and extension action of the finger segments 4. Alternatively, a hydraulic / pneumatic drive is used to drive the finger segments 4 to act.

[0023] It can be understood that the driving assembly can also be of other structural forms, which can be selected according to actual needs, and no further limitation is made here.

[0024] In the embodiment, the two gripping fingers 3 are arranged opposite along the length direction of the upper yoke 5, and the two gripping fingers 3 are arranged staggered along the width direction of the upper yoke 5, so that the double-point gripping is performed in the length direction of the upper yoke 5, the stability is high, and the dismounting efficiency is high, and the single-piece dismounting is not needed. The elastic layer made of elastic nylon material is fixedly arranged at the contact position of the gripping finger 3 and the upper yoke 5, so as to protect the upper yoke 5.

[0025] The storage rack 6 is an open structure at the upper portion, and the storage rack 6 includes a bottom plate 61 and side plates 62. The side plates 62 include four side plates, three of which are fixedly welded and installed on the bottom plate 61, and the bottom of the other side plate 62 is hingedly connected to the bottom plate 61 through a hinge or a rotating shaft.

[0027] As shown in Figure 3 The support and positioning device 7 includes a first rack body 8, a second rack body 9, and a positioning mechanism 10. The first rack body 8 and the second rack body 9 are both L-shaped supports. The second rack body 9 is fixedly welded on the top of the vertical section of the first rack body 8. The positioning mechanism 10 is movably installed on the side wall of the vertical section of the first rack body 8. The first rack body 8 is used for supporting the transformer body 12 and limiting the transformer body 12 through the positioning mechanism 10. The second rack body 9 is used for supporting the storage rack 6 on which the upper yoke 5 is arranged.

[0028] In the embodiment, the positioning mechanism 10 is in a T-shaped structure. A plurality of positioning steps 11 are movably installed on the side wall of the positioning mechanism 10. The lengths of the positioning steps 11 gradually decrease in the direction from bottom to top. The positioning steps 11 are used for auxiliary positioning when the upper yoke 5 is plugged in. The positioning steps 11 can be replaced according to actual needs, so as to adapt to the assembly needs of different transformers.

[0029] It can be understood that in other embodiments, the positioning steps 11 can also be arranged in an electrically telescopic structure. For example, an electrically telescopic rod is used to drive the corresponding positioning steps 11 to extend outward by different lengths. Here, the specific limitation is not too much, as long as the overall length of the positioning steps 11 can be changed.

[0030] The support positioning device 7 is rotatably arranged on the transfer trolley through a rotating shaft 19, and the transfer trolley is connected with the support positioning device 7 through a telescopic unit (such as a hydraulic cylinder, an air cylinder or an electric telescopic rod), and the telescopic unit can be used to control the support positioning device 7 to rotate around the shaft, as shown in FIG. Figure 4 In this way, the support positioning device 7 is in an inclined state during the operation, so that the upper iron yoke 5 in the storage rack 6 does not slide and fall after the side plate 62 of the storage rack 6 is opened.

[0031] In this embodiment, four sets of iron yoke insertion manipulators 13 are arranged, and the iron yoke insertion manipulator 13 is a current suction cup type manipulator, which can be used to suck and insert the upper iron yoke 5 in the storage rack 6, and the iron yoke insertion manipulator 13 also has a visual recognition function to ensure the insertion accuracy of the upper iron yoke 5.

[0032] The control mechanism is also provided, the visual recognition mechanism is arranged on the iron yoke removal manipulator 1 and the iron yoke insertion manipulator 13, and the iron yoke removal manipulator 1 and the iron yoke insertion manipulator 13 are connected with the control mechanism and can be controlled by the control mechanism, wherein the visual recognition mechanism includes an industrial camera, which can capture the details of the surface of the iron yoke under complex lighting conditions, and is matched with an infrared auxiliary light source and a polarization filter to effectively suppress the interference of reflection, and is also matched with a high-precision laser ranging module to obtain the three-dimensional space coordinate information of the iron yoke in real time; the control mechanism is a PLC controller, the PLC controller is internally provided with an algorithm module, can analyze and process data, calculate the accurate space position and attitude parameters of the iron yoke relative to the manipulator, generate the motion control instructions of the manipulator according to the preset action logic, drive the joints of the manipulator to move, and in the operation process, the visual recognition mechanism continuously performs dynamic monitoring, and the real-time feedback data is fed back to the PLC controller, and the PLC controller adjusts the action of the manipulator according to the feedback information, so that the removal or insertion action is accurate and correct, the closed-loop control is realized, and the stability and reliability of the whole operation process are improved.

[0033] Embodiment 2 In another typical embodiment of the present application, a disassembly method is provided, which uses the power distribution transformer upper iron yoke disassembly device in embodiment 1, and the disassembly method comprises the following steps: The transformer is placed at the disassembly station, the iron yoke removal manipulator 1 is used to pull out the upper iron yoke 5 of the iron core 14 as a whole, the upper iron yoke 5 is vertically placed in the storage rack 6, the side plate 62 of the storage rack 6 is used to limit the upper iron yoke 5 to prevent the yoke sheet from sliding and falling, and the control mechanism is used to automatically match the yoke sheet with the iron core 14, record the direction and position information, and provide the pre-positioning information for the subsequent yoke sheet insertion operation.

[0034] Specifically, the visual recognition mechanism scans the upper yoke 5 to determine the spatial position and the graspable position. The control mechanism automatically determines the grasping position of the double-grabbing fingers 3 according to the relevant information. The yoke removal manipulator 1 performs double-point grasping on the entire length of the upper yoke 5, which is stable. After grasping the upper yoke 5, the yoke removal manipulator 1 separates the upper yoke 5 from the core column and stands the upper yoke 5 upright in the storage rack 6.

[0035] The visual recognition is mainly used for positioning, identification, and quality detection, and is equipped with an industrial camera, an optical lens, a light source system, etc. The visual recognition mechanism is installed on the manipulator and uses an industrial camera to replace human eyes to complete related work. The working environment needs to grasp the iron core 14 of different sizes and shapes due to different production product models. Through the visual recognition mechanism, the manipulator can complete autonomous positioning of the upper yoke 5 of the iron core 14 according to the actual situation to accurately complete the related operations such as grasping, pulling out, and storing the yoke. At the same time, the visual recognition mechanism can also perform online inspection on the appearance, flatness, deviation, and other quality of the product. It can effectively improve the detection speed and accuracy of the production line, greatly improve the yield and quality, reduce labor costs, and prevent misjudgment caused by eye fatigue.

[0036] The upper yoke 5 and the storage rack 6 are placed as a whole on the second rack body 9 of the support positioning device 7, and the coil body 12 with the completed coil is placed on the first rack body 8 of the support positioning device 7. The positioning mechanism 10 is used to limit the pressing of the coil body 12. The transfer trolley transfers the pulled-out upper yoke 5 and the coil body 12 with the completed coil to the insertion station.

[0037] As shown in Figure 4 When the transfer trolley moves to the insertion station, the telescopic unit extends to push the support positioning device 7 to flip 30 degrees to tilt the coil body 12 and the storage rack 6 by 30 degrees, and manually open the side plate 62 of the movable side of the storage rack 6.

[0038] The yoke insertion manipulator 13 scans and detects the appearance of the iron core 14 and the upper yoke 5 to be grasped through the visual recognition mechanism, determines the spatial position of the upper surface of the core column of the iron core 14, and checks the spatial position of the upper surface of the core column with the pre-positioning information. After confirming the accuracy, the insertion operation is performed. During the insertion process, the insertion position of the next upper yoke 5 is scanned and determined.

[0039] The yoke insertion manipulator 13 grasps a single upper yoke 5 and inserts the grasped single upper yoke 5 into the corresponding position of the iron core 14. This process is repeated to insert all the upper yokes 5 on the iron core 14 piece by piece and step by step until the insertion is completed.

[0040] The principle of insertion is as follows: the visual recognition mechanism first scans the spatial position of the upper surface of the iron core 14 and the upper yoke 5 to be grasped to determine the boundary of the characteristic positioning point 15 (such asFigure 6 The feature positioning points 15 on the upper yoke 5 are matched and compared with the corresponding feature positioning points 15 on the core 14, and a spatial position relationship is established, then the upper yoke 5 is grabbed by the yoke inserting robot 13 and moved in space, and finally the feature positioning points 15 with the mutual relationship are tightly combined together to complete the insertion of the single piece of upper yoke 5.

[0041] As shown in Figure 6 , the end faces of the upper yoke 5 are bevels, the two edge corners of the two ends of the upper yoke 5 are feature positioning points 15, and a triangular groove 20 is arranged at the middle position of the bottom of the upper yoke 5, and the top corner of the triangular groove 20 is a feature positioning point 15; the core 14 includes a left column iron 21, a middle column iron 22 and a right column iron 23, wherein the top end faces of the left column iron 21 and the right column iron 23 are bevels, and both include two edge corners, and the two edge corners of the top end faces of the left column iron 21 and the right column iron 23 are feature positioning points 15, which match the feature positioning points 15 at the two ends of the upper yoke 5; the top end of the middle column iron 22 is a triangular tip matching the triangular groove 20, and the top corner of the middle column iron 22 is a feature positioning point 15, which matches the feature positioning point 15 of the triangular groove 20.

[0042] The principle of the spatial position relationship is as follows: For the feature positioning points 15 on the upper yoke 5 and the core 14, they are matched by calculating the Euclidean distance between their descriptors, and the descriptor of a feature positioning point 15 on the upper yoke 5 is D1, and the descriptor of a feature positioning point 15 on the core 14 is D2, and the Euclidean distance d between them is: A distance threshold T is set d When d < T d , it is considered that the two feature positioning points 15 are matched successfully, wherein i is from 1 to 128, corresponding to each dimension of the 128-dimensional descriptor, and the distance measure between the two feature point descriptors is obtained by accumulating the square of the difference between the two descriptors in each dimension; when the matching is unsuccessful, the feature positioning point 15 is reselected.

[0043] After the matching of the feature positioning points 15 is completed, the least square method is used to calculate the spatial position relationship, specifically, the coordinates of the feature positioning points 15 on the upper yoke 5 in the image coordinate system are , and the coordinates of the feature positioning points 15 matched on the core 14 in the image coordinate system are , and the error function is minimized: Wherein, i is from 1 to n, n is the number of successfully matched feature points 15, i is used to traverse each pair of matched feature points, by calculating the sum of squares of the horizontal and vertical coordinate difference of each pair of matched points in the image coordinate system, and accumulating, thereby obtaining the overall measure reflecting the matching error, to determine the translation and rotation relationship of the upper yoke 5 relative to the core 14, the translation vector (Δx, Δy) and the rotation angle θ of the upper yoke 5 relative to the core 14 are solved, thereby establishing the spatial position relationship between the two.

[0044] The yoke inserting manipulator 13 scans and detects the inserted core 14 through visual recognition mechanism, compares and analyzes the surface color, gray scale, metal luster and other elements, discriminates the surface scratches, creases, oil stains, oxidation spots, dust and paint film peeling, takes pictures of abnormal points, stores them, and gives early warning and processing suggestions, at the same time, scans the yoke sheet joint and the height difference between adjacent sheets in real time, analyzes, discriminates and takes pictures of the areas exceeding the required value, and gives early warning information. The above description of disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to carry out or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein can be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to these embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
