Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of mechanical automated production equipment technology, specifically to an automated production equipment for connecting rods. Background Technology

[0002] Connecting rods, as key components in mechanical transmission systems, are widely used in aerospace and other fields. Their structural precision and assembly quality directly affect the operational stability and service life of the entire machine. Traditional connecting rod production and assembly processes suffer from the following technical challenges: The production process is fragmented and has a low degree of automation. In existing technologies, processes such as loading connecting rod parts, assembling capacitor ring components, installing insulating parts, fastening, and testing are mostly completed manually or with semi-automated equipment in steps. Semi-finished products need to be manually transferred between processes, which not only results in low production efficiency, but also leads to poor product consistency and a generally high defect rate due to fatigue and misjudgment caused by manual operation.

[0003] Insufficient quality control in key processes. Critical processes such as capacitor ring capacitance adjustment, locking nut torque control, and insulation performance testing rely on manual experience or independent operation of single equipment, lacking systematic data traceability and closed-loop control mechanisms. For example, capacitance adjustment accuracy often exceeds the standard range, and locking nut torque fluctuates significantly, easily leading to unstable product performance and a high failure rate later on.

[0004] Poor equipment compatibility and long changeover cycles. Traditional equipment is mostly designed for a single model of connecting rod. When switching product specifications, it is necessary to manually adjust the fixture and replace the testing module, resulting in long changeover times. This makes it difficult to adapt to the production needs of small batches and multiple varieties, thus restricting flexible manufacturing capabilities.

[0005] Low levels of safety protection and intelligence. Most production lines lack real-time safety monitoring mechanisms, and mechanical injury accidents are prone to occur in human-machine interaction areas; at the same time, production data needs to be recorded and compiled manually, making it impossible to achieve real-time monitoring and early warning of equipment status and product quality, resulting in low management efficiency.

[0006] Therefore, there is a need for an automated connecting rod production equipment with high quality control. Summary of the Invention

[0007] This invention aims to solve the technical problems of low automation, insufficient quality control, and long production cycle in traditional connecting rod production, and provides an automated connecting rod production equipment that can improve the level of production automation, realize full-process data traceability, improve assembly accuracy, and enhance equipment compatibility.

[0008] This invention provides an automated linkage production device, including a base, a capacitor ring assembly production unit disposed on the base, a linkage production unit disposed on the base and connected to the capacitor ring assembly production unit via a conveying mechanism, a conveyor line connected to the capacitor ring production unit and the linkage production unit, a protective cover disposed above the capacitor ring production unit and the linkage production unit, and a central control system electrically connected to the capacitor ring production unit and the linkage production unit for controlling the operation of the device. The central control system is electrically connected to the actuators and sensors at all workstations to control the automated operation of the entire equipment. It collects production data, test data, and equipment status data from each workstation in real time, generating traceable production data packages. These packages are linked to the serial number of each product, enabling full lifecycle data traceability. The central control system also features a touchscreen interface, allowing operators to view the real-time operating status, production progress, and non-conforming product statistics for each workstation. It supports parameter setting, allowing adjustment of operating parameters (such as torque and detection thresholds) for different product models. Parameter modification records are automatically saved for easy production traceability. The central control system also includes a fault diagnosis module that analyzes the operating data from sensors at each workstation in real time. When faults such as actuator jamming or sensor malfunctions are detected, the module automatically locates the faulty workstation and generates a fault cause prompt, facilitating quick troubleshooting and repair by operators. The capacitor ring assembly production unit includes, in sequence on the base, an insulating sleeve loading station, a first capacitor ring loading station, a CCD detection station, a capacitor ring insulating component loading station, an adjustment pad loading station, a second capacitor ring loading station, a capacitor ring height detection station, and a capacitor ring unloading station; the capacitor ring unloading station is connected to the conveying mechanism. The connecting rod production unit includes a connecting rod loading and unloading robot, a first cable bracket loading station, a cable bracket position detection station, a capacitor ring assembly station, an insulating pad loading station, a second cable bracket loading station, a nut locking station, a capacitor ring and connecting rod electrical testing station, a nut anti-loosening plate tightening station, a connecting rod height detection station, and an assembly inspection and barcode scanning station, all connected sequentially on the base. The capacitor ring assembly station is connected to the handling mechanism. The insulation pad feeding station is equipped with a turntable lifting feeding mechanism to automate the feeding of insulation rings. A vision inspection device is installed next to the turntable lifting feeding mechanism. The vision inspection device is electrically connected to the central control system and can identify the quantity status of insulation rings in real time during the feeding process. When it detects that too many insulation rings have been fed (exceeding the preset assembly quantity for a single station) or too few insulation rings have been fed (not reaching the preset assembly quantity for a single station), it immediately sends a signal to the central control system, triggering the station to pause the feeding action and issue a prompt to prevent the abnormal number of insulation rings from affecting the subsequent assembly accuracy. The assembly inspection and barcode scanning station can inspect connecting rods and capacitor rings, including but not limited to capacitor ring spacing. The electrical testing station's testing head is position-adjustable via a linear module drive to inspect different parts of the product, adapting to the testing needs of various specifications. The contact surface between the testing head and the product is equipped with an insulating protective pad to prevent scratches during testing. The assembly inspection and barcode scanning station can also measure the product's insulation resistance and capacitance values, with an insulation resistance measurement range of 10Ω. 4 ~10 8 The capacitance value is measured in Ω, with a range of 0.1pF to 1000pF. The measurement results are stored in the central control system in real time, facilitating data query and traceability throughout the product's lifecycle. When the measured value exceeds the acceptable range, the electrical testing station automatically marks the product serial number and uploads it to the central control system. The conveyor line is a double-ring conveyor line, which can be implemented using synchronous belts or chain plate structures. It uses fixtures to carry semi-finished products and maintain positioning accuracy, providing a physical carrier for multi-station collaborative operations. It includes mutually perpendicular loading and unloading conveyors. The loading conveyor is located on one side of the connecting rod production unit, and the unloading conveyor is located on the other side of the capacitor ring production unit and connecting rod production unit. The loading and unloading conveyors are connected to the connecting rod loading and unloading robots. The double-ring conveyor line uses fixture positioning to ensure that the semi-finished products maintain a stable posture during transport, providing a benchmark for subsequent inspection and assembly. The central control system collects sensor data from each station in real time, forming a data package containing production parameters and inspection results, and establishing a mapping relationship with the product serial number. After the capacitor ring assembly and inspection are completed in the capacitor ring assembly unit, the handling mechanism accurately transfers the components to the connecting rod production unit, eliminating manual transfer errors. The parts loading and unloading stations form a closed-loop material flow. The CCD inspection station performs quality monitoring at key nodes, and defective products are promptly rejected. Each station connects to the conveyor line through standardized interfaces, enabling rapid equipment changeover and flexible production.

[0009] The central control system refers to a control unit that integrates data acquisition and processing functions. Specifically, it connects sensors and actuators at each workstation via an industrial bus to form a closed-loop control network, enabling real-time storage and traceability of production data. Modular production units separate the capacitor ring assembly and connecting rod production processes into independent functional modules. These modules connect to material handling mechanisms via standardized interfaces, enabling automated material flow across units. Data package binding associates and stores test results, assembly parameters, and unique product identifiers, using a database management system to achieve full lifecycle data traceability.

[0010] Specifically, the dual-ring conveyor line uses fixture positioning to ensure the stable posture of semi-finished products during transport, providing a benchmark for subsequent inspection and assembly. The central control system collects sensor data from each station in real time, forming a data package containing production parameters and inspection results, and establishing a mapping relationship with the product serial number. After the capacitor ring assembly and inspection are completed in the capacitor ring production unit, the handling mechanism precisely transfers the components to the linkage production unit, eliminating manual handling errors. The parts loading and unloading stations form a closed-loop material flow, and the CCD inspection station performs quality monitoring at key nodes, promptly removing defective products. Each station connects to the conveyor line through standardized interfaces, enabling rapid equipment changeover and flexible production.

[0011] The automated linkage generation equipment described in this invention, as a preferred embodiment, uses an intermittent conveyor line driven by a precision cam divider, a synchronous belt conveyor line driven by a servo motor, or a chain conveyor line driven by a servo motor. The intermittent conveyor line driven by a precision cam divider refers to a transmission device that achieves indexing and positioning through a cam divider. Specifically, it can be implemented using a cam mechanism with a high-precision indexing plate, whose indexing accuracy can be controlled within ±0.01°, ensuring precise stopping of the fixture during workstation switching. The synchronous belt conveyor line driven by a servo motor refers to a transmission system combining a servo motor and a synchronous belt. Specifically, it can use a closed-loop controlled servo motor driving the synchronous belt pulley, transmitting power through the toothed meshing of the synchronous belt to reduce slippage errors during transmission. The chain conveyor line driven by a servo motor refers to a rigid conveying structure composed of a servo motor and a chain plate. Specifically, it can use a servo motor with encoder feedback driving the sprocket, achieving stable conveying under high loads through the meshing of the chain plate and the sprocket.

[0012] During the operation of the dual-ring conveyor line, the intermittent conveyor line driven by the precision cam divider converts continuous rotary motion into intermittent pauses through the indexing plate, allowing the fixture to complete inspection and assembly operations in a stationary state and eliminating positioning offsets caused by inertia. The servo motor-driven synchronous belt conveyor line utilizes the position closed-loop control function of the servo system to adjust the conveyor speed and position in real time. Combined with the low slippage characteristics of the synchronous belt, it ensures that the fixture maintains synchronous positioning during continuous movement. The servo motor-driven chain conveyor line uses a rigid chain plate structure to support the fixture, achieving stable indexing under heavy-load conditions under the precise control of the servo motor, avoiding positioning deviations caused by load changes.

[0013] The connecting rod automated production equipment of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes an insulating sleeve feeding station comprising an insulating body feeding mechanism and an insulating sleeve feeding mechanism connected to the insulating body feeding mechanism.

[0014] The insulating sleeve loading station is equipped with a vision inspection system to identify the front and back of the insulating sleeve and the position of the notch. The vision inspection system is a device that identifies the orientation features of the insulating sleeve through image acquisition and processing technology. Specifically, it can be implemented using an industrial camera combined with image processing algorithms. The industrial camera has a resolution of no less than 2 million pixels and can capture the orientation markings or notch shapes on the surface of the insulating sleeve. The anti-misassembly function refers to a mechanism that uses the detection results to logically control the assembly process. Specifically, it can be implemented using a programmable logic controller (PLC) linked with an alarm module. When the direction or notch position of the insulating sleeve is detected to be inconsistent with preset conditions, the controller immediately cuts off the power source of the assembly mechanism and triggers an audible and visual alarm. The insulating sleeve loading station also has an anti-misassembly function. When an incorrect orientation or notch position is detected, the equipment automatically stops the assembly action and issues an alarm signal. The insulating sleeve loading station is equipped with a vibrating feeding track and positioning fixtures. The inner wall of the vibrating plate has a wear-resistant coating to reduce wear on the insulating sleeve during transportation. The positioning fixtures can radially position the anti-loosening ring, ensuring that the coaxiality error between the insulating sleeve and the connecting rod does not exceed 0.05mm.

[0015] The front and back sides and notch positions of the insulating sleeve are captured in real time by the vision inspection system and transmitted to the image processing unit for feature matching. The system compares the recognition results with preset assembly standards. When the orientation is correct and the deviation of the notch position from the preset coordinates is within the allowable range, the assembly mechanism performs the gripping and installation actions. If the orientation is incorrect or the notch position exceeds the allowable range, the misassembly prevention function is immediately activated, the assembly action is forcibly terminated, and an alarm signal prompts the operator to intervene. The entire process requires no manual intervention; the vision inspection and misassembly prevention function form a closed-loop control to ensure that the assembly orientation of the insulating sleeve meets the process requirements.

[0016] The automatic link generation device of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes a first capacitor ring loading station comprising a first capacitor ring transport mechanism and a first barcode scanning mechanism and a first CCD detection mechanism disposed on the first capacitor ring transport mechanism; a first loading tray is provided on the first capacitor ring transport mechanism.

[0017] The automatic linkage production equipment of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes a capacitor ring insulation component loading station comprising a capacitor ring insulation component loading mechanism, a capacitor ring insulation component transport mechanism connected to the capacitor ring insulation component loading mechanism, and a second CCD detection mechanism disposed on the capacitor ring insulation component transport mechanism; a vibratory feeder is provided on the capacitor ring insulation component loading mechanism.

[0018] The parts loading station includes a vibratory feeder, a linear feeder, a multi-degree-of-freedom robot, and a rotary lifting loading plate. The end effector of the multi-degree-of-freedom robot is equipped with a vision positioning system and a pneumatic gripper. The vision positioning system works in conjunction with the pneumatic gripper to accurately grasp the parts and place them precisely in the fixture.

[0019] The CCD inspection agency is equipped with an industrial CCD camera and a ring light source. The camera resolution is no less than 2 million pixels, which can detect appearance defects (such as scratches, deformation, and missing materials) of semi-finished products on the fixture. After the inspection results are bound to the product serial number, they are uploaded to the central control system to realize traceable management of appearance defects.

[0020] A vibratory feeder is a device that uses vibration to orient and sort parts. Specifically, it can be an electromagnetically driven vibratory feeder with an internal guide structure that arranges disordered parts in a specific direction for output, reducing manual intervention. A linear feeder is a conveyor connecting the vibratory feeder and the feeding area. Specifically, it can be a servo motor-driven belt conveyor mechanism used to stably transport the sorted parts to the gripping position. A rotary lifting feeder is a rotating feeding platform that carries batches of parts. Specifically, it can be a stepper motor-driven indexing turntable combined with a cylinder lifting mechanism, achieving continuous feeding through intermittent rotation and lifting actions. A multi-degree-of-freedom robot is an automated operating device with three-dimensional spatial motion capabilities. Specifically, it can be a six-axis articulated robotic arm, whose end effector can cover gripping needs at different angles. A vision positioning system is a spatial coordinate positioning device based on image recognition. Specifically, it can be implemented using an industrial camera combined with image processing algorithms to identify the deviation between the fixture positioning point and the part position in real time. Pneumatic grippers are actuators that achieve clamping actions through air pressure. Specifically, they can be implemented using two-finger parallel opening and closing grippers, and their clamping force can be flexibly controlled by an air pressure regulating valve.

[0021] The vibratory feeder orients and sorts parts along a preset track through vibration, then a linear feeder transports them to the gripping area of ​​the rotary lifting loading tray. The rotary lifting loading tray transfers parts in batches to the robot's working range through indexing rotation, while a lifting mechanism raises the parts to a predetermined height for gripping. The multi-degree-of-freedom robot, based on the fixture's positioning coordinates and part position information obtained from a vision positioning system, drives the end effector pneumatic gripper to complete spatial trajectory movement. During gripping, image feedback corrects gripping position deviations in real time. The pneumatic gripper uses a flexible gripping mode to contact the part surface, avoiding scratches or deformation caused by rigid gripping. After gripping, the robot precisely places the part between the fixture's positioning pin and the elastic clamping assembly, ensuring consistent assembly standards for subsequent processes.

[0022] The connecting rod automated production equipment of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes a shim feeding station comprising a shim feeding mechanism and a shim transport mechanism connected to the shim feeding mechanism; a shim thickness detection mechanism is also provided on one side of the shim feeding mechanism.

[0023] The shim loading station is compatible with four or more shim sizes and can adjust the capacitance value to within ±0.3pF to meet product capacitance accuracy requirements. Compatibility with four or more shim sizes means the station has the ability to assemble shims of different sizes or thicknesses. This can be achieved using a modular fixture structure or replaceable positioning modules. By quickly changing fixture components or adjusting the positioning reference, precise positioning and assembly of shims of different sizes can be achieved. Adjusting the capacitance value to within ±0.3pF refers to dynamic compensation of the capacitance value through a closed-loop feedback control system. This can be achieved by linking a high-sensitivity capacitance sensor with a fine-tuning actuator. The sensor monitors changes in capacitance value in real time, and the actuator drives the shim to fine-tune its position based on the feedback data until the target capacitance range is reached.

[0024] During the assembly of the test shims, a capacitance sensor monitors the assembled capacitor ring assembly in real time and sends the measurement data to the control system. When the detected capacitance value exceeds the preset range, the control system drives the fine-tuning mechanism to adjust the installation position or quantity of the test shims. For test shims of different specifications, the workstation can quickly adapt to the assembly requirements of new specifications by changing the positioning module in the fixture or adjusting the spacing of the clamping mechanism. Differences in the thickness or shape of the test shims are corrected using a compensation algorithm to ensure that the capacitance value can be accurately adjusted for different specifications of shims.

[0025] The automatic link generation device of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes a second capacitor ring loading station comprising a second capacitor ring transport mechanism and a second barcode scanning mechanism and a third CCD detection mechanism disposed on the second capacitor ring transport mechanism; a second loading tray is provided on the second capacitor ring transport mechanism.

[0026] The second capacitor ring loading station features a pallet loading function for batch loading of capacitor rings, improving loading efficiency. The pallet is adapted to the dimensions of the capacitor rings, and its edges are equipped with positioning protrusions to prevent the capacitor rings from shifting during pallet transport. The pallet loading function replaces the traditional single-piece loading mode by batch loading capacitor rings onto a dedicated carrier. This can be achieved using multi-layer stacked pallets or a conveyor belt continuous feeding mechanism. A robotic arm or pusher mechanism transfers the entire pallet of capacitor rings to the assembly station, reducing the frequency of manual intervention. The pallet's dimensions are adapted to the capacitor rings' dimensions, meaning the pallet has internal grooves or slots that match the outer contour of the capacitor rings. This can be achieved through injection molding or machining, ensuring stable support for each capacitor ring within the pallet and preventing tilting or misalignment due to dimensional deviations. The positioning protrusions are limiting structures along the pallet edges, which can be in the form of bumps or baffles. These provide circumferential constraints on the capacitor rings during transport, counteracting the effects of mechanical vibration or inertial forces on the part's position and preventing shifting during transport.

[0027] The capacitor rings are loaded in batches onto pallets via a pallet loading function. The pallets are then transported to the assembly station via a conveyor line or robotic arm. The internal grooves of the pallet precisely match the shape of the capacitor rings, ensuring each ring remains in its preset position within the pallet. Positioning protrusions on the pallet edges create a physical barrier during transport, restricting lateral movement of the capacitor rings. When the pallet arrives at the assembly station, a positioning mechanism aligns the pallet with the station's reference position, and then a gripping device transfers the capacitor rings one by one into a fixture, completing the automated loading process.

[0028] The automated linkage generation equipment of this invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes a capacitor ring height detection station comprising a first Z-axis robotic arm and a first displacement sensor mounted on the first Z-axis robotic arm. The capacitor ring height detection station has a height detection function, equipped with a high-precision laser rangefinder sensor, capable of accurately detecting the height of the capacitor ring. After detection, defective products are pushed into a defective product box by a pneumatic pusher mechanism integrated with the station, ensuring that defective products do not flow into subsequent processes. The high-precision laser rangefinder sensor refers to a displacement detection device based on the laser triangulation principle, specifically an industrial-grade laser sensor with an integrated signal processing module, acquiring the surface height data of the capacitor ring through a non-contact measurement method. This sensor can eliminate measurement errors caused by mechanical contact during the detection process, achieving micron-level precision detection. The pneumatic pusher mechanism refers to a cylinder actuator controlled by a solenoid valve, specifically a double-acting linear cylinder combined with a pusher rod structure, driving the pusher rod to perform linear motion through compressed air. After this mechanism is linked with the detection system, it can immediately trigger a sorting action when defective products are determined, forming a closed-loop control of detection and rejection.

[0029] When the fixture carrying the capacitor rings enters the height measurement station, the laser rangefinder performs multi-point scanning measurements on the top surface of the capacitor rings. The signal processing module calculates the average height and compares it with a preset tolerance range. For capacitor rings exceeding the tolerance range, the control system immediately activates the pneumatic pusher mechanism. The pusher rod moves along the guide rail to the fixture positioning point, pushing the defective product laterally away from the fixture and into the defective product collection container. Qualified products then proceed to the next process with the fixture, achieving simultaneous completion of inspection and sorting.

[0030] The automatic linkage production equipment of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes a capacitor ring unloading station comprising a capacitor ring assembly unloading robot, a capacitor ring assembly conveyor line disposed on one side of the capacitor ring assembly unloading robot, and a capacitor ring assembly defective box disposed at one end of the capacitor ring assembly conveyor line; the other end of the capacitor ring assembly conveyor line is connected to a handling mechanism.

[0031] The capacitor ring unloading station is equipped with a finished product sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism communicates with the central control system and can send qualified and unqualified products to the corresponding storage areas according to the qualified information fed back by the electrical testing station, so as to realize the automatic classification and storage of finished products.

[0032] The connecting rod automated generation equipment of the present invention, in a preferred embodiment, includes a cable bracket feeding tray at the first cable bracket feeding station; a fourth CCD detection mechanism at one side of the capacitor ring assembly station; a fifth CCD detection mechanism at one side of the insulating pad feeding station; a nut locking station including a nut feeder, a nut locking mechanism connected to the nut feeder, and a cable bracket limiting mechanism disposed on one side of the nut locking mechanism; and a connecting rod height detection station including a second Z-axis robot and a second displacement sensor disposed on the second Z-axis robot.

[0033] The nut-locking station is equipped with a torque control and feedback system. This system monitors the torque during the nut-locking process in real time. The torque adjustment range can be controlled by the central control system, and the actual torque value can be fed back to the central control system in real time. When the torque exceeds the preset range, the system automatically pauses the locking action to ensure the assembly quality of the nut-locking process. The torque control and feedback system is a closed-loop control system composed of sensors and actuators. Specifically, it can be implemented using a high-precision torque sensor in conjunction with a servo motor. The torque sensor collects dynamic torque data in real time during the locking process, and the servo motor adjusts the output torque based on the feedback signal. Real-time monitoring refers to the continuous tracking of torque changes during the locking action. This can be achieved using a torque sensor with a millisecond-level sampling frequency to ensure that instantaneous abnormal values ​​in torque fluctuations can be captured.

[0034] Among them, the torque adjustment range can be controlled by the central control system, which means that the torque threshold of different products can be set through the host computer software. Specifically, the parameter instructions can be transmitted to the torque controller through the communication protocol to realize the rapid switching of multiple product specifications.

[0035] In the nut-locking process, a torque sensor is integrated into the locking tool, forming a closed-loop control circuit with the servo motor. When the locking action is initiated, the sensor continuously collects the actual torque value and transmits the data to the central control system in real time. The central control system compares the actual torque with a preset threshold. If the torque value exceeds the allowable range, it immediately sends a stop command to the servo motor, terminating the current locking action. Simultaneously, abnormal torque data is recorded and linked to the product serial number for easy quality traceability.

[0036] The assembly inspection and barcode scanning station can inspect connecting rods and capacitor rings. The inspection head is position-adjustable via a linear module drive to inspect different parts of the product, adapting to the inspection needs of different specifications. An insulating protective pad is provided on the contact surface between the inspection head and the product to prevent scratches during inspection. The linear module drive for position adjustment refers to controlling the movement trajectory of the inspection head through a linear motion mechanism, specifically using a ball screw or synchronous belt drive structure, with a servo motor or stepper motor driving the module slide for precise positioning. This feature allows the inspection head to adjust the contact point position according to product size differences, ensuring that the inspection requirements of different specifications are met. The insulating protective pad is a non-conductive buffer material layer attached to the contact surface of the inspection head, specifically made of silicone or polyurethane, with a textured surface treated for anti-slip properties to enhance contact stability. This feature absorbs contact pressure through elastic material, avoiding product surface damage caused by rigid contact.

[0037] The detection head moves along a preset track via a linear module. The module control system automatically calculates the coordinates of the detection points based on product specifications and drives the detection head to the corresponding position to perform electrical testing. The insulating protective pad deforms when the detection head contacts the product, evenly distributing contact stress while maintaining a stable electrical signal transmission path. Through the synergistic effect of position adjustment and buffer protection, compatibility testing of multiple product specifications is achieved while eliminating the risk of physical damage to the product surface during testing.

[0038] The assembly inspection and barcode scanning station can measure the insulation resistance and capacitance of products, with an insulation resistance measurement range of 10. 4 ~10 8 The capacitance value is measured in Ω, with a range of 0.1pF to 1000pF. Measurement results are stored in real-time in the central control system, facilitating data retrieval and traceability throughout the product's lifecycle. When the measured value exceeds the acceptable range, the electrical testing station automatically marks the product serial number and uploads it to the central control system. Insulation resistance and capacitance measurement refers to the simultaneous testing of two parameters of the product's electrical performance at the electrical testing station. This can be achieved using a combination module of a high-precision multimeter and a capacitance tester. This module acquires signals from the product using contact probes, ensuring accurate measurement data covering the performance indicators of different product specifications. Real-time storage of measurement results in the central control system means binding the test data with the product serial number and uploading it to the database. This can be achieved using an industrial Ethernet communication protocol for real-time data transmission, with data encryption technology ensuring the security of the transmission process and forming a traceable data chain. Automatic marking of product serial numbers is used to uniquely identify non-conforming products. This can be achieved using a laser marking machine or RFID electronic tag writing device. When the test data exceeds a threshold, a marking action is triggered, ensuring that non-conforming products are quickly identified and isolated in subsequent processes.

[0039] The electrical testing station integrates simultaneous detection of insulation resistance and capacitance values, enabling multi-dimensional verification of a product's electrical performance and avoiding performance omissions caused by testing only a single parameter. During measurement, after the probe contacts the product's test point, the tester converts the collected resistance and capacitance values ​​into electrical signals. After numerical calibration by the data processing module, the signals are transmitted to the central control system via a communication interface. The central control system compares the received measured values ​​with preset acceptable ranges. If the values ​​exceed the threshold, it sends a command to the electrical testing station to activate the serial number marking device to identify the non-conforming product. Simultaneously, it marks the product's test data as abnormal and stores it in an independent database partition, forming a closed-loop quality control mechanism.

[0040] In existing technologies, traditional connecting rod production processes rely on manual labor or semi-automated equipment to complete the process step by step. The manual transfer of semi-finished products between processes leads to low efficiency and poor product consistency. Key processes such as capacitor value adjustment and locking nut torque control lack systematic data traceability mechanisms. Insufficient equipment compatibility results in long changeover cycles, and low levels of safety protection and intelligence can easily lead to production accidents. These technological bottlenecks limit the stability of product quality and the improvement of production efficiency.

[0041] Because traditional decentralized production architectures struggle to achieve process collaboration and data interoperability, integrated equipment is needed to streamline the production process. By analyzing the sources of error in manual material handling, an automated material handling system is proposed to replace manual operations. To address quality traceability requirements, a data closed-loop control system is designed. To resolve equipment compatibility issues, a modular process chain and flexible conveyor line layout are adopted. Ultimately, a fully automated production system based on a double-ring conveyor line is formed, combined with a central control system to achieve end-to-end data traceability.

[0042] This application also proposes that the isolation ring assembly station is equipped with a vibrating feeding track and a positioning fixture, and the inner wall of the vibrating plate is provided with a wear-resistant coating to reduce the wear of the isolation ring during the conveying process; the positioning fixture can radially position the anti-loosening ring to ensure that the coaxiality error of the assembly of the isolation ring and the connecting rod does not exceed 0.05mm.

[0043] Furthermore, this application proposes that the insulating ring assembly station of the connecting rod production unit is equipped with a turntable lifting and feeding mechanism to achieve automated feeding of insulating rings; a vision inspection device is installed next to the turntable lifting and feeding mechanism, which is electrically connected to the central control system and can identify the quantity status of insulating rings in real time during the feeding process. When it detects that too many insulating rings are fed (exceeding the preset assembly quantity for a single station) or too few insulating rings are fed (not reaching the preset assembly quantity for a single station), it immediately sends a signal to the central control system, triggering the station to pause the feeding action and issue a prompt, so as to prevent the abnormal feeding quantity of insulating rings from affecting the subsequent assembly accuracy.

[0044] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the central control system is equipped with a touch screen operating interface, through which operators can view the operating status of each workstation, production progress and non-conforming product statistics in real time; at the same time, it supports parameter setting function, which can adjust the operating parameters of each workstation (such as torque value, detection threshold) according to different product models, and the parameter modification records are automatically saved, which facilitates production process traceability.

[0045] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the fixture of the double ring conveyor line is equipped with a positioning pin and an elastic clamping component. The positioning pin is used to quickly position the semi-finished product, and the elastic clamping component can flexibly clamp the semi-finished product to prevent it from shifting during the conveying process, while avoiding damage to the surface of the semi-finished product.

[0046] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the parts unloading station is equipped with a finished product sorting mechanism. The sorting mechanism communicates with the central control system and can transfer qualified and unqualified products to the corresponding storage areas according to the qualified information fed back by the electrical testing station, thereby realizing automatic classification and storage of finished products.

[0047] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the central control system is equipped with an equipment fault diagnosis module. The diagnosis module can analyze the operating data fed back by the sensors at each workstation in real time. When faults such as actuator jamming or sensor abnormality are detected, the faulty workstation is automatically located and a fault cause prompt is generated, which facilitates quick troubleshooting and repair by operators.

[0048] Furthermore, this application also proposes that the human-machine interaction area of ​​the equipment and the edges of the operation windows of each workstation are equipped with safety light curtains. The safety light curtains are electrically connected to the central control system and can monitor the approach of a human or foreign object to the danger area in real time. When an object is detected to enter the preset safety protection range, the safety light curtain immediately sends a signal to the central control system, triggering the equipment to stop in an emergency and cutting off the power source of the danger area. The equipment cannot be started until the safety state is restored, so as to ensure the safety of the operators.

[0049] As can be seen from the above, the fully automatic connecting rod production equipment and its control method provided in this application realize the precise positioning and automated flow of semi-finished products through a double-ring conveyor line, realize full-process data traceability by combining a central control system, and improve equipment compatibility through modular production units. It has the advantages of improving the degree of production automation, realizing full-process data traceability, improving assembly accuracy and equipment compatibility.

[0050] This invention discloses an automated production equipment for connecting rods, aiming to solve the problems of low automation, insufficient quality control, and long production cycles in traditional connecting rod production. The equipment includes a capacitor ring assembly production unit, a connecting rod production unit, a central control system, and a double-ring conveyor line. The double-ring conveyor line is equipped with multiple fixtures, and along the conveyor line are distributed part loading / unloading stations, CCD inspection stations, and assembly stations. The two production units are connected by a transport mechanism to achieve automated operation of the capacitor ring assemblies. The central control system collects data from each station in real time and generates traceable data packages bound to product serial numbers, while simultaneously controlling the overall operation of the equipment. Each station is equipped with a dedicated module: the insulating ring assembly station has a turntable lifting feeding and visual error prevention mechanism; the nut locking station has a torque feedback control system; and the electrical testing station has an adjustable detection head for multi-parameter detection. Safety light curtains are installed in the human-machine interface area to ensure operational safety. This equipment achieves full automation of connecting rod production, improves product efficiency and consistency, reduces defect rates, adapts to flexible production needs for multiple specifications, and is suitable for large-scale, low-cost, and high-reliability manufacturing of connecting rods.

[0051] Compared with existing technologies, traditional equipment adopts a single-line layout, resulting in low space utilization. This application improves the compactness of the production line with a double-ring structure. Existing technologies rely on manual recording of production data. This application achieves automatic data collection and binding throughout the entire process through a central control system. Traditional processes are scattered, making changeover difficult. This application's modular design supports rapid adjustment of workstation configuration. Existing technologies lack automatic material transfer across units. This application's handling mechanism achieves seamless connection between processes.

[0052] Compared with existing technologies, traditional equipment adopts a single-line layout, resulting in low space utilization. This application improves the compactness of the production line with a double-ring structure. Existing technologies rely on manual recording of production data. This application achieves automatic data collection and binding throughout the entire process through a central control system. Traditional processes are scattered, making changeover difficult. This application's modular design supports rapid adjustment of workstation configuration. Existing technologies lack automatic material transfer across units. This application's handling mechanism achieves seamless connection between processes.

[0053] Through the above technical solutions, this application achieves integrated and automated production processes, eliminating human error; establishes a full-process data traceability system to improve quality control capabilities; enhances equipment compatibility and changeover efficiency through modular layout and flexible conveyor line design; and constructs a closed-loop safety protection mechanism to reduce the risk of production accidents.

[0054] Compared to existing technologies, traditional conveyor lines use ordinary motors with gears or belts, which suffer from low indexing accuracy and large transmission slippage, resulting in fixture positioning errors exceeding ±0.1mm and affecting subsequent workstation operations. This solution uses three high-precision drive methods to control fixture positioning errors within ±0.05mm, while adapting to different load and speed requirements, thus solving the positioning deviation problem caused by insufficient conveyor line accuracy in traditional equipment.

[0055] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves high-precision positioning of the fixture during the conveying process, ensuring the consistency of the operation benchmarks of subsequent inspection and assembly stations, avoiding the problem of mis-assembly of parts or inspection failure caused by positioning deviation, while reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the automation level of the production process.

[0056] Compared with existing technologies, traditional parts loading processes rely on manual visual positioning and placement, resulting in low operational efficiency and significant susceptibility to human factors in positioning accuracy. This solution automates parts sorting and conveying through a vibratory feeder and a linear feeder. Combined with the collaborative control of a vision positioning system and a multi-degree-of-freedom robotic arm, it eliminates positioning deviations caused by manual operation. Furthermore, the continuous feeding mechanism of the turntable lifting loading tray significantly shortens the single loading cycle.

[0057] Through the above technical solution, this application achieves fully automated operation of the parts loading process, effectively solving the assembly error problem caused by insufficient manual positioning accuracy and improving the repeatability of parts placement. The closed-loop control mechanism of the vision positioning system and the robot ensures real-time matching between the fixture positioning point and the part gripping position, avoiding cumulative deviations caused by vibration or mechanical errors. The flexible gripping characteristics of the pneumatic gripper ensure gripping stability while preventing damage to the part surface, adapting to the rapid changeover requirements of parts of different sizes.

[0058] Compared to existing technologies, traditional debugging stations can only accommodate single-specification gaskets and rely on manual experience for coarse capacitance adjustments, making it difficult to control adjustment precision. This solution, through the combination of modular fixtures and a closed-loop feedback system, not only enables rapid switching between multiple gasket specifications but also controls capacitance value errors within a smaller range through an automated fine-tuning mechanism, eliminating precision fluctuations caused by manual operation.

[0059] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problems of long changeover time and unstable product performance caused by poor compatibility in traditional debugging processes and insufficient precision of manual debugging. It realizes rapid adaptation of multi-specification products and high-precision capacitor parameter adjustment, effectively improving the level of production flexibility and product consistency.

[0060] Compared to existing technologies, traditional capacitor ring loading typically relies on manual placement one by one or single-piece vibratory feeder feeding, resulting in low efficiency and susceptibility to part displacement due to operational errors. This solution utilizes the synergistic effect of batch pallet loading and positioning protrusions to ensure loading efficiency while using the pallet structure to physically limit the capacitor rings, preventing positional displacement during transport and providing a precise positioning basis for subsequent assembly.

[0061] Through the above technical solution, this application realizes automated batch feeding of capacitor rings, reduces manual operation steps, and improves material flow efficiency; at the same time, through the cooperation of the tray and the positioning protrusion, the position of the capacitor rings during the transfer process is effectively constrained, avoiding the decrease in assembly accuracy caused by offset, and ensuring the positioning consistency of the capacitor rings in the assembly station.

[0062] Compared to existing technologies, traditional isolation ring assembly relies on manual visual inspection of direction and gap location, which carries the risk of misjudgment due to visual fatigue. Furthermore, manual operation cannot monitor directional deviations during assembly in real time. This solution replaces manual judgment with automated visual inspection, combined with proactive intervention from anti-misassembly functions, eliminating assembly errors caused by human factors and preventing rework in subsequent processes or product scrap due to assembly errors.

[0063] Through the above technical solution, this application realizes automated orientation identification and error interception in the assembly process of the isolation ring, solves the problem of assembly direction errors that are easily caused by manual operation, prevents product performance defects caused by incorrect assembly of the isolation ring, and improves the accuracy and reliability of the assembly process.

[0064] Compared to existing technologies, traditional production lines using manual sampling require inspectors to measure the height and dimensions of each item with calipers, posing a risk of missed inspections due to visual fatigue. This solution, through its integrated design of automated inspection and sorting, not only eliminates human error but also achieves 100% inspection and real-time sorting, preventing resource waste caused by defective products entering subsequent assembly stages.

[0065] Compared to existing technologies, traditional nut-locking processes typically use fixed torque wrenches or simple power tools, which can only preset a single torque value and lack a real-time feedback mechanism, resulting in torque fluctuations that cannot be corrected in a timely manner. This solution, however, constructs a closed-loop control system, which not only achieves dynamic torque monitoring and adjustment but also flexibly adapts to the process requirements of different product specifications through a central control system, significantly improving the stability of assembly quality and the flexibility of the equipment.

[0066] Through the above technical solution, this application effectively solves the problem of unstable assembly quality caused by torque fluctuations during nut tightening. Real-time monitoring and automatic feedback control ensure that the torque accuracy of each tightening action meets process requirements, preventing thread damage or loosening due to excessive or insufficient torque. Simultaneously, the immediate interception function for abnormal torque prevents defective products from flowing into subsequent processes, reducing rework rates and improving overall production yield.

[0067] Compared to existing technologies, traditional electrical testing stations use fixed testing heads, which can only adapt to a single product model. Changing products requires manual adjustment of the testing position or replacement of the fixture, resulting in low efficiency and positioning errors. Existing testing heads directly contact the product with metal probes, easily leaving scratches on the surface and affecting the product's appearance. This solution uses a linear module to automatically adjust the testing head position, adapting to different product specifications without manual intervention. Simultaneously, it utilizes the buffering properties of the insulating protective pad to prevent surface damage to the product while ensuring testing accuracy.

[0068] Through the above technical solution, this application solves the problem that traditional electrical testing stations cannot adapt to the testing needs of products with multiple specifications, realizes the adaptive adjustment of the testing position, and effectively prevents scratches on the product surface during the testing process through the contact surface protection design, ensuring that the testing process meets the accuracy requirements while maintaining the integrity of the product appearance.

[0069] Compared to existing technologies, traditional electrical testing methods can only detect a single parameter with a limited measurement range, failing to meet the testing needs of products with diverse specifications. Furthermore, the manual recording of test data leads to low traceability efficiency. This solution expands the testing dimensions through a dual-parameter testing module, covering a wide range of measurement parameters to address the performance indicators of different product specifications. Simultaneously, it utilizes an automated data storage and tagging mechanism to achieve precise correlation between test data and the entire product lifecycle, avoiding the risks of missed detections or data loss due to manual operation.

[0070] Through the above technical solutions, this application solves the problem of the single detection dimension in the electrical testing process, and ensures the comprehensive verification of the product's electrical performance through dual-parameter synchronous testing; it establishes an automatic binding mechanism between test data and product serial number to realize full-process data traceability from production to use; and it prevents defective products from flowing into subsequent processes by marking and isolating non-conforming products in real time, thereby improving the efficiency of quality control.

[0071] The present invention has the following advantages: (1) The semi-finished products are accurately positioned and automatically transferred through the double ring conveyor line. The whole process data traceability is realized by combining the central control system. The equipment compatibility is improved by the modular production unit. The production automation level can be improved, the whole process data traceability can be realized, the assembly accuracy and equipment compatibility can be improved. (2) Achieve integrated and automated production processes to eliminate human error; establish a full-process data traceability system to improve quality control capabilities; enhance equipment compatibility and changeover efficiency through modular layout and flexible conveyor line design; and construct a closed-loop safety protection mechanism to reduce the risk of production accidents.
