Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of bus manufacturing, specifically a bus body assembly equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Bus body assembly is a core process that determines the overall assembly precision and structural strength of the vehicle. Its core requirements are to achieve flexible adaptation of different body specifications (such as new energy buses and highway buses), millimeter-level assembly precision control, and safety and stability during the operation. As the bus industry develops towards customization and lightweighting, assembly equipment must simultaneously meet three core requirements: "multi-model compatibility," "high-precision positioning," and "high safety redundancy."

[0003] Currently, the industry's vehicle body assembly equipment has formed a basic framework of "bench support + transmission drive + precision calibration," but there are still significant deficiencies in key structural design and functional adaptability: (i) Vague load-bearing and guiding structure, resulting in insufficient operational stability: In existing assembly equipment, the connection between the assembly frame and the main frame mostly relies on the cooperation of "load-bearing frame + guide rod" to achieve reciprocating movement. However, the relevant technologies have extremely vague structural definitions for the core components. For example, some equipment only mentions "sliding through guide components" without specifying the installation form of the load-bearing frame and the cooperation method of the guide rod, which often leads to problems such as sliding jamming and uneven force distribution in practical applications.

[0004] (ii) Poor adjustment flexibility and limited versatility of the assembly frame: In order to adapt to bus bodies with different wheelbases and widths, the assembly frame needs to have multi-dimensional adjustment capabilities, but the existing technology has obvious shortcomings because the existing assembly frame is just a simple frame that cannot be adjusted.

[0005] In view of the above-mentioned defects in the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a bus body assembly equipment with a clear structure, strong adaptability, and high safety and reliability. By clarifying the form of the load-bearing guide structure and optimizing the driving method of the assembly beam, the problem of insufficient stability and poor versatility of the existing equipment is solved. Summary of the Invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of existing bus body assembly equipment, the technical problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a bus body assembly equipment with clear structure, strong adaptability, and safety and reliability, by clarifying the form of the load-bearing guide structure and optimizing the driving mode of the assembly beam, thereby solving the problems of insufficient stability and poor versatility of the existing equipment.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, according to one aspect of the present invention, the invention is implemented through the following technical measures: a bus body assembly device, comprising: two sets of assembly mechanisms with identical structures, wherein the assembly mechanism includes: The main frame is equipped with a ladder on its outer side and a standing platform on the main frame for people to stand on. The assembly frame is equipped with multiple assembly beams that can be adjusted vertically and / or horizontally. The assembly frame is connected to the main frame via several support frames mounted on the main frame. Each support frame is a vertically arranged plate structure with a horizontally extending support at one end. The support is provided with a through guide hole. Each assembly frame is fixedly connected with a guide rod corresponding to a support frame. Each guide rod is a cylindrical rod with one end fixedly connected to the assembly frame and the other end movably inserted into the guide hole of the support frame. The sliding fit between the guide rod and the guide hole allows the assembly frame to move back and forth in the horizontal direction. The assembly rack is located inside the main frame, and the assembly racks on the two main frames are arranged opposite each other. The transmission system is located on the main frame and provides power for the assembly frame to move back and forth. The transmission system works with the support frame and guide rod to prevent the assembly frame from completely separating from the main frame. A laser correction system, wherein the laser correction system is used to control the movement distance of the assembly frame; A control system, which is installed on only one of the assembly mechanisms, is used to control the operation of the equipment.

[0008] This bus body assembly equipment utilizes the precise coordination of a vertical plate-shaped support frame and a horizontally extending support section, along with cylindrical guide rods and guide holes, to prevent operational jamming and improve the load-bearing stability and positioning accuracy of the assembly frame. The multi-dimensional adjustment structure of the assembly beam adapts to the needs of multiple vehicle models without requiring tooling changes, while maintaining load-bearing reliability. A dual anti-separation mechanism is formed through the synergy of the transmission system and the load-bearing guide structure, eliminating the need for additional protective components and significantly increasing safety redundancy. The design of the main frame's standing platform and ladder ensures ease of operation and avoids operational interference. Through the coordinated operation of the transmission, laser correction, and control systems, millimeter-level precision assembly is achieved, enhancing automation and meeting the industry's demand for high precision and high safety.

[0009] Furthermore, the main platform has a railing on the outside of the standing platform, with gaps on both sides of the railing, and a ladder is installed at the gap.

[0010] Furthermore, the assembly frame is frame-shaped and consists of two horizontal bars and several vertical bars connecting the two horizontal bars. A horizontally arranged assembly beam is provided between the two horizontal bars and on the outer vertical bars of the two horizontal bars. The middle assembly beam can be adjusted vertically, and the assembly beams on both sides can be adjusted not only vertically but also horizontally.

[0011] Furthermore, the central assembly beam and several vertical bars of the assembly frame are provided with corresponding connecting plates. Each connecting plate has several connecting grooves, and screws are used to fix the beams. The two side assembly beams and the two horizontal bars of the assembly frame are also provided with corresponding connecting plates I. Each connecting plate I has several connecting grooves I. A right angle iron is also provided between two opposing connecting plates I. The right angle iron has connecting grooves II that connect to the connecting grooves I. The connecting grooves I and II are fixed together by bolts. The central assembly beam is adjusted in position by fixing different connecting grooves on the two connecting plates with bolts. The two side assembly beams are adjusted in position by fixing different connecting grooves I and connecting grooves II with bolts.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission system includes a servo motor, a reducer, a main drive shaft, and a worm gear screw jack. Some or all of the several vertical rods are equipped with worm gear screw jacks. The other side of the worm gear screw jack is fixed to the assembly frame. The servo motor drives the reducer and the main drive shaft to rotate forward or in reverse. The main drive shaft drives the worm gear screw jack to move the assembly frame back and forth.

[0013] Furthermore, the transmission system consists of two sets, arranged vertically. Each of the vertical rods is equipped with a screw jack, and adjacent screw jacks are connected by a main drive shaft. The main drive shaft and the screw jack are connected by a coupling. The main drive shaft is a screw, and the reducer is a double-headed reducer located at the screw jack in the middle.

[0014] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: Through the sliding cooperation of the vertical plate-shaped support frame and the cylindrical guide rod, combined with the frame-type assembly frame and multi-dimensional adjustable assembly beam, and the slotted fixing of the connecting plate and right-angle iron, flexible adaptation and stable connection of multiple vehicle models are achieved; relying on two sets of vertically distributed servo motor-double-head reducer-worm screw lifting transmission systems, combined with laser correction and control systems, millimeter-level precise assembly is achieved; through the collaborative anti-separation design of the transmission system and the support guide structure, and the combination of a standing platform with railings and a gap-type escalator, dual safety protection for equipment and personnel is constructed, combining operational stability, ease of operation, and high automation efficiency, fully meeting the high precision, high safety, and high flexibility requirements of bus assembly.

The assembly beam 22 can be adjusted vertically and / or horizontally. As a preferred structure, the middle assembly beam 22 can be adjusted vertically, while the assembly beams 22 on both sides can be adjusted both vertically and horizontally. The aforementioned assembly frame 2 is connected to the main platform 1 via several support frames 9 mounted on the main platform 1 (preferably, each vertical bar is equipped with...). A support frame 9 is provided, with one at the top and one at the bottom of each vertical rod. The support frame 9 is a vertically arranged plate structure, with a horizontally extending support part 10 at one end. The support part 10 has a through guide hole.

The assembly frame 2 can move back and forth in the horizontal direction through the sliding cooperation between the guide rod 11 and the guide hole.

[0024] The aforementioned central assembly beam 22 and several vertical bars of the assembly frame 2 are each provided with corresponding connecting plates 12. Several connecting grooves 13 are machined on the connecting plates 12. The plates are fixed by screws passing through the connecting grooves 13 of the two connecting plates 12. The aforementioned two side assembly beams 22 and two horizontal bars of the assembly frame 2 are also provided with corresponding connecting plates I 14. Several connecting grooves I 15 are machined on the connecting plates I 14. At the same time, a right angle iron 16 is fixed between the two opposite connecting plates I 14.
