Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of automobile manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to an automatic assembly device for batch parts. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid iteration of the global automotive industry and the continuous growth of market demand, the automotive manufacturing sector is placing increasingly stringent requirements on the automation level of production lines, production cycle time, and overall cost control. Currently, the assembly of automotive parts is a critical node in the production process, and its efficiency and quality directly affect the overall vehicle production schedule and product reliability.

[0003] However, existing component assembly technologies still have many problems that urgently need to be solved: On the one hand, some production lines still rely on manual labor or semi-automatic equipment to complete assembly, which is not only labor-intensive and costly, but also subject to the limitations of human operation stability, which can easily lead to problems such as insufficient assembly accuracy and poor consistency, directly affecting product quality; on the other hand, even if automated assembly equipment is used, most of the equipment has a complex structure and single function, and can only be adapted to specific models of parts. When products are iterated or part specifications are adjusted, a lot of modifications are required, which is not flexible and makes it difficult to meet the production needs of multiple varieties and small batches.

[0004] Meanwhile, existing assembly equipment has significant shortcomings in energy consumption and process optimization: the equipment suffers from high power loss and low energy utilization efficiency during operation; the lack of precise real-time detection and position compensation mechanisms in the assembly process makes it easy for issues such as improper mounting and workpiece damage to occur, resulting in high rework rates, further reducing production efficiency and increasing production costs.

[0005] Against this backdrop, developing a simple, easy-to-operate, highly adaptable, and efficient energy-saving and environmentally friendly automated assembly device for batch parts has become the key to solving the current assembly problems in the automotive manufacturing industry.

[0020] Referring to Figure 1, a device for automatic assembly of batch parts includes a base 1, a first sliding mechanism 2, a second sliding mechanism 3, a third sliding mechanism 4, and a detection unit 5.

[0021] The overall structure of the base 1 is shown in Figure 2. The base 1 includes a base body 1.1 and a foot assembly 1.2. The foot assembly 1.2 is fixed to the bottom of the base body 1.1 to provide stable support for the entire device.

[0022] The overall structure of the first sliding mechanism 2 is shown in Figure 3. The first sliding mechanism 2 consists of a cylinder 2.3, a sliding mechanism mounting base 2.2, a linear guide rail slider connector 2.1, a linear guide rail connector 2.8, a cylinder body connector 2.4, a cylinder front end cover plate connector 2.5, a cylinder head connector 2.7, and a detection unit 2.6. The sliding mechanism mounting base 2.2 is connected to the base 1, and the linear guide slider connector 2.1 is connected to the sliding mechanism mounting base 2.2. The cylinder 2.3 is fixed to the cylinder body connector 2.4 via the cylinder front cover plate connector 2.5, and the cylinder body connector 2.4 is fixed to the sliding mechanism mounting base 2.2 via the linear guide slider connector 2.1. The lower part of the linear guide rail connector 2.8 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder 2.3 via the cylinder head connector 2.7. The linear guide slider connector 2.1 and the linear guide rail connector 2.8 are slidably engaged by the guide rail and slider. The upper end of the linear guide rail connector 2.8 is connected to a positioning pin, which can accurately position the clamping mechanism, so that the clamping mechanism moves to the set position under the drive of the cylinder 2.3.

[0023] The overall structure of the second sliding mechanism 3 is shown in Figure 4. The second sliding mechanism 3 consists of a rodless cylinder 3.3, a cylinder connecting seat 3.1, a cylinder connecting piece 3.2, a robot arm 3.5, a robot arm connecting piece 3.6, and a clamping unit 3.4. The cylinder connecting seat 3.1 is fixed to the base 1. The rodless cylinder 3.3 is fixed to the cylinder connecting seat 3.1 via the cylinder connecting piece 3.2. The clamping unit 3.4 is fixed to the robot arm connecting piece 3.6 via the robot arm 3.5. After the robot arm 3.5 clamps the workpiece, it can move above the clamping mechanism via the rodless cylinder 3.3 to wait for clamping.

[0024] The overall structure of the third sliding mechanism 4 is shown in Figure 5. The third sliding mechanism 4 consists of a screw slide module 4.2, a sliding mechanism mounting base 4.1, a robot arm 4.7, a robot arm connector 4.6, a compensation device 4.4, a compensation device connector 4.5, a compensation device mounting base 4.3, a detection unit 4.9, and a clamping unit 4.8. The detection unit 4.9 is mounted on the robot arm 4.7, and the clamping unit 4.8 is mounted on the robot arm 4.7. The robot arm 4.7 is fixed to the compensation device mounting base 4.3 via the robot arm connector 4.6, the compensation device connector 4.5, and the compensation device 4.4. The screw slide module 4.2 is fixed to the sliding mechanism mounting base 4.1, which is mounted on the base 1. The robot arm 4.7 can descend to directly above the second sliding mechanism 3 via the screw slide module 4.2. After the clamping unit 4.8 clamps the workpiece, the second sliding mechanism 3 retracts to the upper position, and the third sliding mechanism 4 descends to the clamping position via the screw slide module 4.2. The position is corrected by the compensation device 4.4 to complete the clamping process, and the detection unit 4.9 can detect whether the workpiece is clamped in place.

[0025] The overall structure of the detection unit 5 is shown in Figure 6. The detection unit 5 consists of a first photoelectric switch and bracket 5.1 and a second photoelectric switch and bracket 5.2, which are respectively installed on the base 1 and are used to detect whether the third sliding mechanism 4 is properly installed.

[0026] First, the base 1 provides stable support for the entire device, and the foot assembly 1.2 ensures that the base body 1.1 is placed stably. In the first sliding mechanism 2, after the cylinder 2.3 is started, its piston rod drives the linear guide rail connector 2.8 to move through the cylinder head connector 2.7. Since the linear guide rail slider connector 2.1 is fixed to the sliding mechanism mounting base 2.2, the linear guide rail connector 2.8 slides along the linear guide rail slider connector 2.1, thereby enabling the positioning pin connected at the upper end to accurately push the mounting mechanism to the preset position. During the process, the detection unit 2.6 can assist in monitoring the position accuracy.

[0027] Next, the robotic arm 3.5 of the second sliding mechanism 3 clamps the workpiece, and the rodless cylinder 3.3, via the cylinder connector 3.2 on the cylinder connector 3.1, moves the robotic arm 3.5 and the workpiece to the top of the clamping mechanism to wait. Subsequently, the screw slide module 4.2 of the third sliding mechanism 4 drives the robotic arm 4.7 to descend directly above the second sliding mechanism 3. After the clamping unit 4.8 clamps the workpiece, the second sliding mechanism 3 retracts to the upper part position; the screw slide module 4.2 continues to drive the third sliding mechanism 4 to descend to the clamping position, and the compensation device 4.4, via the compensation device connector 4.5 and the compensation device mounting base 4.3, corrects the workpiece position to ensure accurate clamping, while the detection unit 4.9 detects in real time whether the workpiece is clamped in place.

[0028] Finally, the first photoelectric switch and bracket 5.1 and the second photoelectric switch and bracket 5.2 of the detection unit 5 detect whether the third sliding mechanism 4 is properly installed. If it is properly installed, one assembly cycle is completed. After each mechanism is reset, the assembly process of the next batch of parts begins, thereby realizing the automated assembly of batch parts.

[0029] For those skilled in the art, various improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of this invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this invention.
