[0040] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This invention provides a technical solution: a component gripping vehicle assembly robot, including a base 1, with a main arm 2 and a secondary arm 3 connected sequentially above the base 1. A rotary motor 301 is installed at the front end of the secondary arm 3, and a mounting seat 4 is connected to the bottom end of the rotary motor 301. The robot controls the height and angle adjustment of the main arm 2 and the secondary arm 3 on the base 1 through a CNC program, and controls the rotary motor 301 at the front end of the secondary arm 3 to change the angle of the mounting seat 4, so that the robot can adjust the position of the mounting seat 4.

[0042] Please see Figures 1-3A bracket 401 is installed on one side of the mounting base 4, and a fixing frame 5 is installed vertically on both sides of the bracket 401. Vacuum suction cups 501 for negative pressure adsorption of the surface of the car door components are installed on the upper, middle and lower sides of one side of the fixing frame 5.

[0043] In this embodiment, all vacuum suction cups 501 are connected in series using air pipes and matching connectors. When the main arm 2, the auxiliary arm 3, and the rotary motor 301 drive the mounting base 4 to change position, the vacuum suction cups 501 on the fixing frame 5 can be driven to adhere to and adsorb the car door components, which facilitates flexible gripping and non-destructive transfer of the vehicle door components.

[0044] Please see Figures 1-7 A lifting mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the bottom of the bracket 401. The lifting mechanism 6 is used to prevent the bottom wall of the door component from falling when it is moved. The lifting mechanism 6 includes a support frame 601 on one side of the bracket 401 that can be adjusted laterally. Guide plates 602 are installed on both sides of the support frame 601. The surface of the guide plate 602 is provided with an L-shaped guide cavity, and a rack 6021 is fixed to the top of the inner wall of the guide cavity. A support 603 for fastening the bottom wall of the door is provided between the two guide plates 602. The two ends of the support 603 are provided with a fixing shaft 6031 that is inserted into the L-shaped guide cavity. A locking tooth 6032 is fixed on one side of the outer edge of the fixing shaft 6031.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the vacuum suction cup 501 adsorbs the door component, the fixed shafts 6031 at both ends of the support 603 can move back and forth along the L-shaped guide cavity on the surface of the guide plate 602. When the fixed shaft 6031 moves from the bottom end to the top end of the L-shaped guide cavity, and the teeth 6032 on the outer edge of the fixed shaft 6031 mesh with the rack 6021 on the top of the inner wall of the L-shaped guide cavity, the fixed shaft 6031 will rotate at a small angle, thereby driving the support 603 to flip upward and abut against the bottom wall of the door.

[0046] Please see Figure 7 On the other side of the outer edge of the fixed shaft 6031, the top roller 6033 is symmetrically inserted, and the fixed shaft 6031 is telescopically connected to the top roller 6033 through the internal spring 6034.

[0047] In this embodiment, during the reciprocating movement of the fixed shaft 6031 along the L-shaped guide cavity, the top rollers 6033, which are symmetrically distributed on the fixed shaft 6031, are in contact with the outer wall of the L-shaped guide cavity. Thus, when the support 603 moves along the L-shaped guide cavity through the fixed shafts 6031 at both ends, the spring 6034 pushes the top rollers 6033 against the outer wall of the L-shaped guide cavity, which can prevent the support 603 from loosening and overturning when it moves along the trajectory of the L-shaped guide cavity.

[0048] When the support 603 moves upward and causes the locking teeth 6032 on the fixed shaft 6031 to mesh with the rack 6021 on the L-shaped guide cavity, the angular deflection of the fixed shaft 6031 will drive the top roller 6033 to press against the outer wall of the L-shaped guide cavity, thereby causing the top roller 6033 to compress the spring 6034 into the interior of the fixed shaft 6031.

[0049] It should be noted that when the top roller 6033 is squeezed into the limit position inside the fixed shaft 6031, the distance from the outer edge of the top roller 6033 to the center of the fixed shaft 6031 is greater than half the width of the L-shaped guide cavity. Therefore, the fixed shaft 6031 will not cause both top rollers 6033 to deviate from the outer wall of the L-shaped guide cavity during rotation.

[0050] Please see Figures 4-7 The support 603 is also fixed with locking hooks 6035 at both ends near the fixed shaft 6031. The guide plate 602 is fitted with a dial 604. The dial 604 is connected to the extension end of the fixed shaft 6031 through the U-shaped dial on the edge. The dial 604 has a barb 6041 integrally formed on the edge near the U-shaped dial.

[0051] In this embodiment, the forward rotation of the dial 604 drives the U-shaped dial to rotate and press the extension end of the fixed shaft 6031, thereby enabling the fixed shaft 6031 to move along the L-shaped guide cavity. When the fixed shaft 6031 drives the support 603 to flip upward and abut against the bottom wall of the car door, the locking hooks 6035 at both ends of the support 603 will hook the barbs 6041 on the edge of the dial 604. At this time, the support 603 that is fastened to the bottom wall of the car door will be locked and restricted, ensuring that the support 603 has sufficient support capacity to continuously support the bottom wall of the car door, and preventing the support 603 from flipping and falling off due to vibration of the car door.

[0052] It should be emphasized that when the dial 604 rotates in the opposite direction to drive the U-shaped dial to rotate and squeeze the fixed shaft 6031 to move in the opposite direction along the L-shaped guide cavity, the locking teeth 6032 on the fixed shaft 6031 will engage in the opposite direction with the rack 6021 of the L-shaped guide cavity, thereby driving the support 603 and the locking hook 6035 to deflect in the opposite direction, causing the locking hook 6035 to separate from the barb 6041. Therefore, it is only necessary to drive the dial 604 to rotate in the forward or reverse direction to drive the locking hook 6035 to lock or separate from the barb 6041.

[0053] Please see Figures 3-5 A drive shaft 605 for controlling the rotation of the dial 604 passes through the middle of the two guide plates 602. A U-shaped rod 607 is movably connected between the two fixed frames 5. A folding rod 606 for driving the drive shaft 605 to rotate is connected between the drive shaft 605 and the U-shaped rod 607. A hydraulic rod 608 for pushing and pulling the U-shaped rod 607 to deflect is movably connected to one side of the fixed frame 5.

[0054] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 It can be seen that the U-shaped rod 607 is deflected downward by the hydraulic rod 608, which in turn drives the drive shaft 605 to deflect downward through the folding rod 606. As a result, the drive shaft 605 drives the dials 604 at both ends to rotate in the forward direction, which eventually causes the support 603 to flip upward.

[0055] See Figure 5 It can be seen that when the hydraulic rod 608 pulls the U-shaped rod 607 to deflect upward, the U-shaped rod 607 will drive the drive shaft 605 to deflect upward through the folding rod 606. As a result, the drive shaft 605 will drive the dials 604 at both ends to rotate in the opposite direction, which will eventually cause the support 603 to flip downward.

[0056] Please see Figure 3 A visual positioning component 8 is installed on the side of the mounting base 4 near the bracket 401. The visual positioning component 8 includes a light source, an RGB camera, an infrared transmitter, an infrared receiver, and a controller. The light source is used to illuminate the door component, the RGB camera is used to capture a planar image of the door component, and the infrared transmitter emits infrared light to scan the door component. After the infrared receiver receives the infrared light reflected by the door component, it calculates the distance of each surface of the door from the visual positioning component 8 based on the transmission and reception time. The planar image and the obtained distance signal are imported into the controller, and the accurate three-dimensional information of the door can be calculated through a three-dimensional vision algorithm.

[0057] In this embodiment, when the robot adjusts the position of the mounting base 4 to grasp the car door component, it first adjusts the mounting base 4 to the front position of the car door, and then uses the visual positioning component 8 to supplement the light and take a planar picture of the front position of the car door to be grasped, so that the robot can accurately position the car door to grasp it through the visual positioning component 8. For reference, Chinese Patent No. CN208998785U discloses a robot visual positioning device, which discloses the technical content of robot accurate object positioning. This is prior art and will not be elaborated on here.

[0058] Please see Figures 1-3 , Figure 8 and Figure 9 A support frame 7 is installed on the side of bracket 401 away from mounting base 4. A vertical plate 701 sleeved on bracket 401 is fixed to the upper end of support frame 7. A clamping mechanism 9 for preventing the door window from falling is provided above vertical plate 701. The clamping mechanism 9 for preventing the door window from falling includes:

[0059] A limiting seat 901 is rotatably connected to the top of the upright plate 701, and a hydraulic rod 902 is connected between the upright plate 701 and the limiting seat 901 to adjust the placement angle of the limiting seat 901.

[0060] Vertical and horizontal cavities are formed on the upper side of the middle part and the bottom sides of the limiting seat 901, and sliding sleeves 903 are slidably connected in both vertical and horizontal cavities. Pull plates 904 that are movably connected to sliding sleeves 903 are provided on both sides of the limiting seat 901 in a staggered manner.

[0061] And a pad 905 that is slidably disposed on one side of the vertical cavity and installed with the sliding sleeve 903, and a hydraulic rod 906 that is installed on one side of the limiting seat 901 for lifting and lowering the push-pull pad 905.

[0062] In this embodiment, by activating the hydraulic rod 902, the limiting seat 901 is pushed upward, causing the limiting seat 901 to deflect at a small angle on the upright plate 701, thereby causing the limiting seat 901 to tilt closer to the car door window.

[0063] The hydraulic rod 906 is activated to lift and pull the pad 905. When the pad 905 moves up and down along the vertical cavity, the pad 905 will drive the sliding sleeve 903 in the vertical cavity to move up and down. Then, the connection of the three sliding sleeves 903 is restricted by two staggered pull plates 904, so that when the pad 905 drives the sliding sleeve 903 in the vertical cavity to move up, the traction of the pull plates 904 will cause the sliding sleeves 903 in the two transverse cavities to move towards each other laterally.

[0064] Conversely, when the pad 905 moves the sliding sleeve 903 in the vertical cavity downward, the pull plate 904 will cause the sliding sleeves 903 in the two transverse cavities to move away from each other.

[0065] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figures 8-10 A limiting rod 910 is inserted into the middle of the sliding sleeve 903.

[0066] In practice, when the hydraulic rod 902 pushes the limiting seat 901 to deflect at a small angle, the limiting seat 901 will drive the three sliding sleeves 903 to deflect together. At this time, the limiting rod 910 in the middle of the sliding sleeve 903 will pass through the window of the door component.

[0067] See Figure 2 It can be seen that when the sliding sleeve 903 in the vertical cavity moves down and the sliding sleeves 903 in the two horizontal cavities move away from each other, the two horizontally moving limiting rods 910 will abut against the two corners on the lower side of the car door window. At this time, when grabbing and transferring the car door, the limiting rods 910 can block the two corners on the lower side of the car door window to prevent the car door from swaying and shifting laterally during the transfer. In addition, the limiting rods 910 can also block the bottom wall of the car door window to prevent the car door from bouncing upward due to vibration during the transfer.

[0068] When the sliding sleeve 903 in the vertical cavity moves upward and the sliding sleeves 903 in the two horizontal cavities approach each other, it will cause the two horizontally approaching limiting rods 910 to abut against the bottom wall of the door window, preventing the door from bouncing upward due to vibration during the assembly process with the vehicle. At this time, the vacuum suction cup 501 is used to adhere to the door to prevent the door from shifting laterally during the assembly process with the vehicle.

[0069] Please see Figures 8-11 A double-groove pulley 907 is rotatably connected to the end of the sliding sleeve 903 located in the vertical cavity, and a single-groove pulley 908 is rotatably connected to the end of the sliding sleeve 903 located in the horizontal cavity. A belt 909 is sleeved between the double-groove pulley 907 and the single-groove pulley 908. A drive motor 9051 is installed on the pad 905, and a gear disk 9052 is connected to the output end of the drive motor 9051. A gear ring 9071 that meshes with the gear disk 9052 is fixed on one side of the double-groove pulley 907.

[0070] In this embodiment, the drive motor 9051 on the starting pad 905 drives the gear disk 9052 to rotate. The meshing transmission between the gear disk 9052 and the gear ring 9071 can drive the double groove pulley 907 to rotate in the opposite direction to the gear disk 9052. When the double groove pulley 907 rotates, it will transmit power to the single groove pulley 908 through the belt 909, so that the single groove pulley 908 will also rotate synchronously.

[0071] Please see Figure 10 and Figure 11 The inner walls of the double-groove pulley 907 and the single-groove pulley 908 are provided with spiral grooves 9072; a push-pull rod 9101 slides on one side of the limiting rod 910, and a protrusion 9102 that mates with the spiral groove 9072 is fixed at one end of the push-pull rod 9101.

[0072] In this embodiment, when the gear disc 9052 drives the gear ring 9071 on one side of the double groove pulley 907 to mesh, the gear ring 9071 will drive the double groove pulley 907 to rotate. As a result, the double groove pulley 907 will drive the single groove pulley 908 to rotate synchronously through the belt 909. The rotating double groove pulley 907 and the single groove pulley 908 push and pull the protrusion 9102 through the spiral groove 9072 on the inner wall. Then, the moving protrusion 9102 drives the push-pull rod 9101 to slide linearly on one side of the limiting rod 910.

[0073] Please see Figures 9-12The limiting rod 910 has a groove at one end extending from the sliding sleeve 903, and a sliding groove 9104 and an adjusting groove 9105 are formed in the groove. The adjusting groove 9105 is composed of a straight groove section parallel to the sliding groove 9104 and an arc-shaped groove section with one end of the sliding groove 9104 as the center. A stop block 9103 that is slidably connected to the sliding groove 9104 is also provided in the groove. A protrusion that mates with the adjusting groove 9105 is fixed on the side of the stop block 9103. An inner cavity is formed inside the stop block 9103. The end of the push-pull rod 9101 away from the protrusion 9102 is slidably connected with the inner cavity of the stop block 9103. The limiting rod 910 sleeved in the double groove pulley 907 and the limiting rod 910 sleeved in the single groove pulley 908 are arranged in opposite directions.

[0074] In this embodiment, when the double-groove pulley 907 and the single-groove pulley 908 rotate synchronously, the double-groove pulley 907 and the single-groove pulley 908 will push the protrusion 9102 through the spiral groove 9072 on the inner wall, thereby driving the push-pull rod 9101 to push the inner cavity of the stop block 9103, so that the stop block 9103 slides along the straight groove section of the slide groove 9104 and the adjustment groove 9105. When the stop block 9103 slides to the limit position at one end of the slide groove 9104, the push-pull rod 9101, which continues to move, will push the protrusion on the side of the stop block 9103 to slide along the arc-shaped groove section of the adjustment groove 9105, thereby driving the stop block 9103 to tilt and flip. By using the spiral groove 9072 to limit the push-pull rod 9101, the stop block 9103 that is flipped out from the groove can have a self-locking effect.

[0075] When the limiting rods 910 in the two transverse cavities abut against the two corners of the bottom wall of the door window, the stop block 9103 can be flipped out to lock the inner edge of the bottom wall of the door window. Thus, even if the vacuum suction cup 501 loosens its adhesion to the outer wall of the door, the locking and limiting of the bottom wall of the door window by the stop block 9103 and the locking and limiting of the bottom wall of the door by the support 603 can achieve a stable clamping effect on the transfer of the door, ensuring that the transfer of the door has sufficient safety and anti-fall protection.

[0076] When the door component is moved to the assembly position on the side of the vehicle, the lifting mechanism 6 drives the drive shaft 605 and the dial 604 to reverse, thereby causing the support 603 to deflect downwards and away from the bottom wall of the door, thus creating space for the bottom wall of the door to connect with the lower edge of the vehicle and preventing interference. At the same time, the clamping mechanism 9 drives the pad 905 to move upwards, causing the sliding sleeve 903 in the vertical cavity to move the limiting rod 910 upwards and abut against the top wall of the door window. The two sliding sleeves 903 in the horizontal cavity will cause the two limiting rods 910 to move closer together and abut against the bottom wall of the door window. The stop block 9103, which is flipped out from the three limiting rods 910, provides bidirectional locking and restriction for the door window. The adjusted clamping mechanism 9 can replace the support 603 for the door. With the suction support of the vacuum suction cup 501, the door can be easily connected and assembled with the vehicle, and the door can be prevented from falling during assembly.
